Chapter 141: Mutiny

Two emaciated old horses carried the prince and the guards back to the town of Guding. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Another guard had been waiting outside the town early, and the coachman who had followed had already left for Ravenwood, where they would spend more time on the road with the ox cart.

"Your Highness, you have finally returned, and we should leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible. Before Leon could get closer, the guards came all the way to tell him that something big had happened in the town of Gooding in a short period of time.

"Don't rush, speak slowly. Leon dismounted sideways and patted the guard on the shoulder, he was so tired that he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"The rebellion in Nolan Town is estimated to soon affect the town of Guding. The guard took a deep breath, the most important thing was this sentence, as long as the prince saw the seriousness of the matter, he would definitely leave immediately, and it was his responsibility to stay and be injured by the rebels.

The town of Nolan is located southeast of the town of Gooding, and they belong to the same lord.

"Mutiny?" Leon really couldn't figure it out, the chances of a successful mutiny in such a place were very small, why would anyone be willing to do this, didn't they know what the outcome of failure would be?

"Yes, Your Highness, let's hurry back to Ravenwood. "If the guards hadn't worried about the prince's safety, they would have left here as soon as they received the news. He had been tormented by the time he had been waiting for the prince to return, and he was afraid that the rebels would reach the town before the prince returned.

"How do you know?" Leon was a little suspicious, maybe it was just a rumor, and the mutiny was not as simple as words.

"At noon today, two soldiers from Nolan fled here to explain the situation, and now the people in the town are panicking, and everyone is hiding in the house and dare not come out. The guard pointed to Gooding Town and said.

"Is the soldier still there?" Leon wanted to figure out the situation, and in case the mutiny would spread to Ravenwood, he had to plan for it as soon as possible.

"It's still there, they're hurt, and they can't go anywhere else for a while. The guard nodded, this news can still guarantee reliability.

"Let's go, let's take a look. Leon handed the reins to the guard, and walked back about the same time as on horseback, and then rode for a day, feeling unwell.

Back in Gooding, Leon found the two soldiers in a dilapidated house next to the tavern, which was originally used by the Archons but was abandoned and left untended.

"You're the soldiers of Nolan?" Leon saw that they weren't wearing armor, but ordinary people, and there was nothing else to prove their identities except for a little blood on their bodies.

These two people were warming themselves around the fire, and when they saw this person who suddenly appeared, they looked disdainful, and one of them said impatiently: "I told you that Nolan Town has rebelled, and if you want to live, you should get out of it as soon as possible." ā€

Leon's outfit was that of an ordinary townsman, and in the eyes of these soldiers, a notice was already a great reward, and now he had to come to ask a lot of questions, and if he annoyed him, he would inevitably be punched and kicked. Even if there are injuries on the body, there is no problem in dealing with an ordinary person.

"Oh, I just want to ask, who the hell is the mutiny?" Leon threw out two silver coins, these ruffian soldiers had seen too much, and they couldn't get what they wanted without giving them a little benefit.

The two soldiers picked up the silver coin, and their faces softened.

They re-examined the young man in front of them, and saw that he was clearly dressed as an ordinary person, but his overall temperament was more noble than those so-called nobles, and he really couldn't understand why there was such a person in Guding Town, no matter what, now that he had money, he still had to cooperate well.

"It's the son of the lord, who was originally ruling in Nolan on the orders of the lord, but last night he suddenly defected, and we were wounded on the battlefield, so we had to flee here. "The soldiers put the silver coins in their pockets, the mutiny has little to do with them, and they don't want to do anything to kill you in the last battle, anyway, it's better to live than anything else.

Leon thought for a moment, and it seemed that it was a personal vendetta.

When I first heard about the rebellion, I once thought that someone was against the Xueman Kingdom, but if you think about it carefully, you will find that this idea is very ridiculous, the strength of the Xueman royal family, plus the support of many big nobles, not to mention this kind of small place, even the powerful duke can't do it, so I guessed that it was an internal rebellion.

It had now been determined that it was an internal mutiny, and that the war was confined to their territory, and that Ravenwood was relatively safe.

It is not uncommon for rebellions to occur in the territory, but the vast majority of them occur in small territories, where the number of troops is insufficient, the casualties caused after the war are very small, and the power seized is also minimal, as long as the trouble is not too serious, the general situation guard will not interfere too much, and it will not be uploaded to the ears of the royal family.

The possibility of internal rebellion of the great nobles is extremely low, usually the great nobles will set up heirs at a very early age, there are many internal forces to check and balance, and there are also external protection and royal intervention, even if there is a rebellion, it will be suppressed in a short time.

"You said that the lord's son rebelled, do you know the reason?" Leon still wanted to find out the situation, in case this person not only wanted to seize power, but the surrounding towns would be affected.

"How do we know about their nobles?" the soldier shook his head, and it was better to have a drink in the tavern than to have time to care about their family affairs.

Leon didn't want to ask any more, these two men were the ones who ate and drank in the army, and it was almost impossible to get more inside information from them.

"Why, you just want to leave like this?" Leon had just turned when he heard an unfriendly voice coming from behind.

"What do you mean?" Leon turned around, the expression on his face was a little angry, deserters like this should be hanged according to the law, but they didn't bother to care about other people's territory, if they did something disqualified, Leon didn't mind exercising the power of the prince.

"Our two brothers have revealed so many confidential contents to you, should we give you the corresponding reward?" one of them smiled maliciously, from Leon's dress, it is really not obvious anything, but from his shot, it can be seen that this person has a lot of money, this time as a deserter, you have to hide for a while, no money is uncomfortable, fortunately, there is a money bag in front of him.

"What if I don't give it?" Leon didn't flinch at all, if there were such people in his barracks, he would definitely be punished, but he had to say another thing now, and it was okay to teach him a lesson.

"If you don't give it, we'll do it ourselves. The two stood up, rubbing their hands together and preparing for a blatant robbery.

Leon stood there and watched them, and the silver coins he had just given should be taken back.

The two stepped forward, and before they could get closer, another person came in from outside the door.
