Chapter 14: The Dedication of the City

Melwitz arrived at the city of Cape Pena on the 28th of January, and without stopping for the slightest, they went straight through the city in the direction of the city of Konhill. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The city of Kangqiu is nothing more than a small city under the Yurasno Empire. Just because it is on the closest line to the imperial capital, it has become the next destination of Melwitz and his party.

Melwiec and the others did not rest and reorganize, and galloped all the way. Of course, the Beastmaster didn't care about the length of the journey, but the other people's mounts couldn't stand it for such a non-stop run. It can really be described as catching the moon with the stars and rushing thousands of miles.

Melwitz and his party marched at a gallop and finally arrived at the city of Kangqiu on the evening of 1 February. He and the Beastmaster did not lose too much physical strength, Ku Zhi himself did not feel tired, and the hundred retinues could more or less resist the discomfort caused by the rush, but they took pity on the one hundred and one war horses.

The gates of this lonely city on the plain are open at night. Not far from the city gates, there was a small army. At the head of the pack was the Governor of Konhill, and when he saw Meliwitz, he patted his mount and stepped forward to greet him.

A hint of surprise flashed in Melwitz's eyes, and at this moment he had stopped the Beastmaster from meeting with the Governor of Kangqiu.

Governor Kangqiu hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and saluted: "Honorable Duke Ewing, it is really ..... that your subordinates are fortunate to meet the first warrior of the empire today."

"Well, since you know me, go into the city to prepare a meal. Melwitz stopped the compliment of the Governor of Konhill, knowing full well that the physical exertion of his men and horses was reaching its limit.

The governor of Kangqiu City touched his nose, his face didn't need to think about it, and he knew that it couldn't be good-looking, but no one cared about it in the night.

"Ah, Lord Duke, please enter the city and settle down immediately with your subordinates. "Governor Kangqiu said no more, and went straight to the point.

The group was led by Meliwitz and entered Kangqiu City in turn.

Only Ku Zhi rode at the end, he looked up at the castle tower, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his expression. After all, he followed Melwitz and entered this Kangqiu City.

――――――――

Kangqiu was a small city after all, and the governor's mansion was also featureless, with simple wooden houses.

The Governor of Kangqiu welcomed Meliwitz into his mansion, and the food and wine were served in turn as they sat down in the banquet hall.

Although the Governor is the real owner of the mansion, and Melwiitz is a dignitary dignitary, the first to sit on the throne is naturally Melwiez.

Ku Zhi took a drink and sorted out his thoughts. In his eyes, the governor of Kangqiu was extremely efficient, and everything here seemed to be pre-designed. It was as if the Governor of Kangqiu City seemed to know that Melwiitz would definitely come to Kangqiu City, but in short, everything seemed a little strange to Kuzhi.

That's right, Ku Zhi is right to feel weird. Because, this governor of Kangqiu City was originally a subordinate of Arianor.

Ever since Meliwetz got out of Kemalico and into Pena, he has been monitored by agents sent by Arena.

The source of information for the governor of Kangqiu City was also paid by the secret agent, and he knew that he could not match the first warrior of Melwitz, and the result of the hard fight would definitely be his death at the hands of Melwidz.

Since you can't beat it, you can only plan it well.

The principle of the governor of Kangqiu City is that he only talks about the word sleek. He figured out that if he succeeded, he would gain fame and fortune, and if he failed, he would kneel and beg for mercy, or flee this lonely city directly.

――――――――

During the feast, Melwitz took on a solitary posture and did not pay any attention to the governor of Kangqiu. Even if the Governor of Kangqiu offered him to the sky, Melwitz would not be aware of him.

In this way, the one-man show of the governor of Kangqiu was sung until the end of the banquet......

After you have eaten and drunk, you naturally need to take a bath to relieve your fatigue, and then lie down on a soft and comfortable bed.

Of course, the Governor of Kangqiu City had already prepared for this. He knew that Melwiitz would not say anything more to him, so he quit early.

Melwitz and Kuzhi were relegated to a secluded courtyard, accompanied by more than a dozen light cavalry guards. The rest of the men insisted on asking the governor of Kangqiu for a large tent to be stationed in the courtyard to guard Meliwitz.

After bathing and changing clothes, Kuzhi went straight to the outside of the room where Melwitz was, knocked on the door and got an answer, and said bluntly: "Duke, there is something wrong with the governor of Kangqiu City. ”

Melwiec did not take Kuzhi's concerns seriously: "At the banquet, he could assassinate him, poison his food, or shoot arrows in the bath. Why do you say that?"

Ku Zhi sighed slightly, and was about to open his mouth to argue, but because of the situation, he finally chose to give up, but said: "In short, it's better to be cautious." ”

Melwitz said, "I should be cautious, you rest early, and you will leave for the imperial capital tomorrow." ”

For Kuji, it was a depressing conversation. He left the room in Melwiitz and went back to his bed, still restless, and went to bed.

Kuzhi, who wanted to fall asleep, couldn't think for himself about what Governor Kangqiu would do against Meliwitz.

If he was going to attack with fire, it was simply a joke. Could it be that poison gas will be used? The soldiers in the courtyard are not decorations. But the widespread use of poison gas could injure themselves. The assault is undoubtedly seeking death, it is too stupid, it should not. Arrows?Sneak Attack...... Oh my God, I'm so tired.

Ku Zhi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he simply got up and straightened out, and then returned to the bed to close his eyes and recuperate.

――――――――

It's almost the early hours of February 2, and it's hard to resist the tiredness.

As Ku Zhi expected, this night was unsafe and bloody.

Before Meliwitz arrived in Kangqiu City, the governor of Kangqiu made efforts to open a secret passage under the palace and arrange a hidden weapon mechanism under the bed in the house. Once you open the mechanism under the tunnel, even if you don't die, I'm afraid you'll be seriously injured.

In addition, the governor of Kangqiu City mobilized 500 archers to quietly surround the governor's palace.

The Governor of Kangqiu City sent his henchmen to the secret passage to open the mechanism, and he himself spied in front of the Governor's Palace.

I don't know when, shouts of varying degrees of chaos sounded in the house: "Protect the marshal!" and "Save the marshal...... quickly"

When the governor of Kangqiu outside the mansion heard this, he knew that his henchmen had helped him become a big deal, and he sneered without yin or yang: "Light the fire and release the arrow!"

Five hundred archers listened to the command, set up their bows and arrows, and drew their bowstrings. With a whoosh, two, three......

Rockets were fired at the Governor's Palace, which was instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Governor Kangqiu didn't care about a mansion at all, he had already moved his valuables out of the governor's mansion because of his tactful behavior, so he didn't have a trace of heartache when it was on fire.

The fire was raging, black smoke billowed into the sky, and the fire did not stop until it turned white in the east.

――

In the early morning, the street is filled with black smoke that has never dissipated, and a strong smell of choking wafts. A good place is the Governor's Mansion of Kangqiu, which has become a scorched ruin.

Governor Kangqiu looked indifferent, but ordered: "You go and find the body." ”

His soldiers marched out in a column and entered the Governor's Palace, which had become a wasteland......

Someone came to report from a young time: "Your Excellency, no body has been found." ”

Governor Kangqiu frowned: "Look for it again!"

"Yes!" the messenger immediately returned to the Governor's Mansion and continued to search.

Governor Kangqiu ordered another soldier beside him, "Go to the stables and check." ”

At this time, Governor Kangqiu's heart was full of doubts, and he began to think about it......

In a moment, the soldiers came to report: "Your Excellency, there is a horse missing in the stables." ”

Governor Kangqiu's brows tightened even more, and his expression was full of apprehension.

At this time, he came out of the governor's palace to report to his soldiers: "Your Excellency, you still haven't found a single body!"

When Governor Kangqiu heard this, he secretly said in his heart that it was not good!

"I have never made a feud with you, Governor Kangqiu, and you dare to deceive me!"
