Chapter 483: Suddenly Slipping Away (Part I)
In the end, under Zod's 'torture', Trio finally confessed and revealed what he knew about the rebels' plans and layouts, much to the delight of Rogers and Orion.
With this gain, it must be of great help to the counterinsurgency plan of the Prince of Hiss who was far away in the royal capital, and the impact of the loss of troops in the town of Sank and the defection of Gomares can be greatly diluted, and they and even Kairo will not be punished too harshly for this, although this consideration is somewhat exculpatory and calculating, but this does not mean that there is a loss of virtue in the matter of loyalty and duty.
It's just that in the face of the danger in the court, sometimes I can't help myself, if I don't think about myself, I will definitely be crushed by opponents and political enemies to the point that there is no scum left, and how can I have the opportunity to be loyal.
Kairo also seemed to be excited to hear the news, and was no longer as frustrated as before, so after a total of the group prepared to continue to the royal capital as planned, and the escape of Gomares left Sanke Town leaderless, and the original deputy of the consul according to the official position should take his place temporarily, but Gomares's defection undoubtedly cast a shadow on the finalization of the candidate.
At the critical moment, Xiao Yili suggested that Kailuo should take loyalty as the highest priority at this moment, and proposed to let Orion temporarily take over the local government affairs, which was naturally opposed by some local officials, but Xiao Yi cited the benefits and necessity of using military generals as local leaders to give orders during the extraordinary period of the war, and proved this statement with the examples of several major defensive cities on the border of Aixin to defend the city lord, which persuaded Kailuo to make a temporary appointment to Orion.
But at this time, the main lord who was promoted to the consul dropped the chain, bluntly saying that he would only fight, and it was difficult to take on heavy responsibilities in government affairs.
As a result, Xiao Yi used the sentence "If you don't even have the burden of enduring hardships and learning and overcoming difficulties, then don't keep talking about loyalty to your Highness as soon as possible!" successfully aroused Takefu's blood and self-esteem, and finally accepted the challenge.
After dealing with the affairs of Sanke Town, the group continued on the road, and then all the way to the king was surprisingly smooth, as if the tragic fight that had just occurred outside the country was an illusion, which made Rogers, who was in charge of guarding the convoy, couldn't help but slander in his heart, where did these rebels die, and I don't know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity, if it wasn't too ostentatious, he wanted to raise a big banner to show his identity This is the cabinet minister who sent the embassy is back!
The reason why he has this idea is also to take into account that he can fight more against the rebel forces and earn some credit at the same time, after all, there are really a lot of things on this trip, and the more talismans used to avoid responsibility, the better, of course, the most important one is that he already knows how powerful the force he carries with the car, just Xiao Yihe is the existence of the Saint Rank who can face the hard, anyway, he can't think of any reason why he needs to conceal his whereabouts.
In this way, he traveled as fast as possible, and it took less than three days to arrive at Hailam City, the royal capital of Canghai Kingdom, and Kairo, who was anxious to report to the king, did not place the convoy to rest, but ran directly to the palace.
Coincidentally, according to the original report, Kairo would not return to the royal capital until two days later, and the visiting mission, which had rushed back to resume his life, became an uninvited guest at the palace banquet.
Fortunately, most of the people present were important ministers of the court and princes and nobles, and they all knew about the matter of Kailuo taking the group out to communicate, so there was no confusion at all because of this.
As the leader of the team who was fully responsible for the mission, Kailuo came to the imperial front to report and introduced Xiao Yi, a distinguished guest from Aixin, to everyone present, and then after communicating with each other according to etiquette, Xiao Yi and his party were naturally pulled into the ranks of the banquet, and Kailuo explained the general results and observations of the trip to the public commentary.
The twists and turns of the plot naturally caused a burst of sighs and surprises at the surrounding banquets, although the domestic situation was far from reaching the level of singing and dancing, but in the atmosphere of the staggered planning, the whole cause and effect sounded more like a legend in the mouth of a bard.
But as Kairo narrates, there is still a sense of shock and panic, not just the thrilling defensive battles of Sankertown and the mysterious black-clad organization that feels like maggots on tarsal bones.
The most direct reason is that Xiao Yi, who went out to the toilet halfway, disappeared!
"It's so rude, what kind of place does he think this is?"
"Lord Kairo, this is Aixin's honored guest, did you see this in the palace over there?"
"This is what you call the alchemy master, it's really good! I heard that he has a lot of things to do with Princess Myronie, I see that you are being used and you don't know it, you are directly bringing the enemy to your base camp!"
"Come and escort, quickly collect the weapons of these people and take them into custody, their leader has run away, and the rest must be left for assassination!"
The scene was chaotic to the extreme, and the people around were gossiping, some were furious, some took the opportunity to fall into the well, some watched coldly, and some were soldiers.
Heath sat on top of his seat and sank like water, and without a clear indication of it, the guards around him swarmed up and really wanted to capture the few remaining people of Aishin.
The few people led by Zod were not too nervous because of this, and they got up and were about to deal with it by force, but they were stopped by Rogers running out and stopping in front of a few people, as the deputy commander of the royal guards, he was naturally well known by the guards, so he had to stop for a while.
"Rogers, are you dazed? It was Dante, the chief of the palace guard, who was standing behind the guard.
"Dante, have you forgotten what Lord Kairo and I just said! The people behind me are all extremely strong warriors, confronting the Holy Rank powerhouses head-on, assisting Sanke Town to resist strong enemies, and also killing the leader of the 'Shadow Thieves Group' Kilimarbello, and capturing alive the leader of our country's First Mercenary Regiment Terrio, who participated in the rebellion.
Besides, strength aside, the people of Aishin assisted in the fight against the enemy in Sanke Town, saving the lives of many of my brothers in the army in the Inner Canghai Country, why don't I speak for them!
You don't see that His Highness hasn't spoken yet, but he is led by the nose by these Wenchen who can only confuse people with words all day long, which of the two of us is dizzy!"
