Chapter 17: No Good Feast (Part II)

"This must be the famous Zod Sierra Leone, the prestige of the 'Weeping Blood Wolf Warrior Regiment', although I have lived in the royal capital for a long time, I have heard a lot of rumors. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoToday, I was fortunate to see a person with a remarkable demeanor. ”

Duke Parker was still smiling, but when he said it, he felt that the air in the room was stagnant.

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say! But I was reckless before, and I didn't know that my lord had such a big background in the empire, so if there was a conflict, how about asking my lord to forgive me?"

The meaning revealed in the words was slightly provocative: I regret provoking you, but it is also because your power is too great, and even so, if I am forced to do that, I will definitely not be afraid of anything.

Then Xiao Yi glared at Zuode angrily, and scolded secretly in his heart: "This second stunned! You can't see such an obvious provocation, can he, a duke, stab you openly, this is not clear, waiting for you to drill in!"

Seeing that Zod was confused but still closed his mouth depressedly, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and then cheered up and turned to Duke Parker and said:

"Lord Duke, this person was indeed a key offender, but now that the 'Weeping Blood Wolf Warrior Regiment' has been disbanded, he is under my own supervision, and I believe that he will not do evil in the future. I know that the Duke is worried about the security in the royal city, so in order to reassure him, I am willing to vouch for him, and if he really does something harmful to the peace in the future, I can ask him.

I wonder if adults will be able to believe me!"

Xiao Yi's words surprised everyone present, especially Zode. The actions of the newly recognized boss are often unexpected, and everything touches the only remaining softness in his heart that has long been hidden in the depths.

For the sake of a robber with a bad track record like himself, he dared to make such a guarantee, how much did he trust himself. He remembered that when he first entered the industry, he had been with a thief who was famous all over the continent for a while, although this strong man was extremely tyrannical and murderous, but also taught him a lot of thieves' ways to survive, and what he remembered most clearly was the principle that the man had always regarded as the first creed of thieves: "Trust may liberate you, but more often it will take your life!"

Zod didn't think there was anything wrong with this sentence, especially after he had been through so many dangers and seen too many deceits. But now he doesn't know if he will lose his life because he let go of his defense, he only knows that at this moment his heart has been truly liberated, and the numbness, exhaustion, and sadness that he had been suffering for a long time have all been swept away.

No wonder so many people are stupid enough to take such a big risk for a moment of relief, because in a moment that will trump everything.

So Zod's expression calmed down, even became a little serene, and he had decided to completely surrender his heart and life.

However, this subtle feeling did not last long, and it was the Duke of Parker's next words that broke it:

"Of course I believe you have the ability, and I've been confirmed by Eric's mouth.

If Mr. Zode could change his ways, it would be a good thing, and I would love to see it!

I don't know if you know, the wolves follow the almost ruthless survival rules, even the leader whose claws are no longer sharp will be ruthlessly driven out, let alone let go of the betrayed members. I'm not worried about the one around you, but the one who gets let go.

If you want to reassure me, ask Mr. Zode to tell me the whereabouts of these people, so that I can eliminate them one by one to prevent future troubles. ”

"If you dare to trouble them, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!" Zod looked at Duke Parker with blood-red eyes, gritted his teeth, and it took him a long time to roar, and the 'Cursed Horn' was in his hand in an instant.

"Bang!"

Before Zod's words fell, he burst into a shout of "presumptuous" when he saw the duke shoot the case, and his terrifying momentum startled Eric, who was eager to get up and escort him.

"The Jiangyang thief who led the crowd to commit countless cases on the borders of the five empires dared to make a big fuss in my duke's palace, who the hell are you and me!

In the blink of an eye, a line of guards rushed in from outside, a bunch of spears aimed at Zod. Zode sneered in the face of the cold light of the weapon, and just wanted to launch a counterattack but met Xiao Yi's slightly shaking head to stop his gaze, his manic heart calmed down suddenly, and after confirming Xiao Yi's meaning, he slowly lowered his hand, and let the soldiers who surrounded him take away the weapon and tie him up.

And Duke Parker seemed to be angry, and said coldly to Xiao Yi: "This is what you call 'being able to control', young man, you are too naïve, criminals are criminals!

Xiao Yi looked at Duke Parker's tall figure, and the momentum exuded by the cold anger was so powerful that people definitely forgot that he was just a sixth-order swordsman, no wonder some people said that the momentum of a person who had been in a high position for a long time could also be a good weapon, but Xiao Yi did not feel timid because of this.

"My lord, he is just angry for a while, but it doesn't mean that he will definitely do anything, you can't let people even have emotions, right?"

"Oh, then you mean that my father has done something wrong, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you are kind to my son, and I can put you in prison with you just because you harbor criminals!"

"Don't, sir, think twice!" said Eric.

"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here!" the duke's order Eric didn't dare to disobey, let alone reprimand in anger.

"Xiao Yi, I think you are kind to my house, and I will give you a chance now. You choose whether you want to go to prison with him, or you honestly hand him over to me!"

The scene became tense, Xiao Yi seemed to be more calm than just now under the forced gaze of Duke Parker, and slowly walked to Zod, who was being escorted, and spread his hand in front of the guard holding the 'cursed horn', the guard looked at the duke suspiciously, and cautiously handed him to Xiao Yi after getting his approval, and Xiao Yi put the dagger directly on Zod's neck in the next second.

"Don't bother so much, since according to the Duke, he is a heinous criminal, I will explain how he is here to correct the law......!

"Of course, but you're sure ......" Duke Parker only showed a moment of surprise before recovering from his composure.

“...... I'm not done yet, and if you have to make a choice, I'll be here to reassure you by killing him, but you'll also succeed in gaining my hatred, and I'll pledge my revenge on you and your family from now on.

By the way, you already know that I am an alchemist, and if you don't understand what alchemists mean by dying, I suggest you consult a professional!"

"You're threatening me!" the Duke's tone turned cold again.

"No, the threat is just a clever bluff, and I'm stating the facts. Come on, now it's your turn to choose!"

Xiao Yi's face was expressionless, and Zode, who was armed with a sharp blade, didn't even blink his eyes from beginning to end like him.

"Hahahaha......" The duke's mouth suddenly burst into a hearty laugh, which made everyone except Xiao Yi stunned.

"How do you see that?"

The Duke asked with a smile on his face, not showing any trace of his anger just now.

Xiao Yi slashed down with a dagger and cut the rope on Zode's body, and said neatly: "Lord Duke, I have to say that your acting skills are very lame, but the move is really fast, so I almost didn't have time to react."

It's unrealistic to say that you can see through your intentions, but there's always something to follow!"

"Oh, I want to hear about it!"

Duke Parker sat back in his seat, resting his chin on his hand very leisurely.

"The key to your whole show was how to provoke Zod and make him mad on the spot, and you did!"

The duke nodded slightly, and Xiao Yi continued to speak when he saw this.

"But you didn't let the guards take his weapon when they entered the door, and I thought at one time that you really wanted to commit the assassination and put him to death, but then I found that this idea was a mistake, because if you did so, you would be ignoring the fact that you could not easily subdue him without my support, and that if I were forced to turn against you, you would not even be able to save your own life, and that such a mistake would never have been made with your reputation for conspiracy, so I am sure that you must have had other purposes!”

"What is my purpose, tell me to hear it!"

"First, to verify whether I can really control him, and whether he really does not have any adverse effects on law and order in the city, you must have seen this;

Second, to verify whether I had ulterior motives to use the battle outside the forest to deliberately get close to you and your family, or whether I was an accomplice with him at all, I can't say if you have already judged this, but I think the answer should be obvious;

Thirdly, I heard that you were also one of the generals appointed by His Majesty during the war, and you should know very well the value of a high-ranking thief, so he will not be executed under any circumstances, and he should be sent to the palace or some other secret agency if he leaves your palace! Of course, if the question of whether I have ulterior motives is not answered to your satisfaction, I am afraid that I will have to be sent to another person.

As for the rest, I really don't see it!"

"Haha, it seems that my reputation for being good at scheming should be given to you, great boy!

Xiao Yi remained silent, neither admitting nor refuting.

"Since you already know everything, why don't you cooperate with me to finish this scene, that will be the most beneficial to you, isn't it!"

"Unfortunately, my lord, the last thing I like is to be forced by others, and of course I will not force others, I think this is the premise of mutual respect.

Besides, it took me so much to find such a fellow, how could I be willing not to let him be driven for a few more days, so even if you go through normal negotiations, I will not hand him over to you.

Anyway, since you've got the answers you want, and I'm probably going to be uncomfortable staying here, it's not too early, thank you for your hospitality, and we're leaving!

After saying that, Xiao Yi Shi Ran walked outside, and Zode followed closely and turned around and smiled, it seemed to be very happy!
