Chapter 19: The Assassins

"Since they have not been able to stop this Bretan army in the Heavenly Dome Mountains, then they will definitely go to the defense line of Fanxin Lake in the south. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" The Marquis of Levin above the council chamber stood up.

"Count Maramo, your army should not leave Ziyang City for the time being, and will be stationed outside Ziyang City, so that once the defense line of Fanxin Lake encounters an accident, we can quickly rush to support. Levin spoke.

The Fenxin Lake defense line is an impregnable wall in the south of Kyrgynia, and now the Gilgidian royal army is defending against 400,000 Brettan troops with the Red Flame Fortress and Thundering Fortress on the east and west sides of the Vanxin Lake defense line.

"Yes, Lord Marquis, the 30,000 territorial troops under my command will remain in Ziyang City and be at your disposal. Maramo hurriedly saluted.

Maramo is the younger brother of Marquis Barlow, the lord of Jade Mountain City, Jade Mountain City and Ziyang City are two different territories, in the Gilgia Kingdom, there is no subordination between the lords, and the lords are loyal to the king alone, but Maramo is so respectful to Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, why is this?

Lewyn Nolan, the lord of Purple Sun City, is not just a big lord, 8 years ago, Gilgian King Landry Pars married Freya Nolan, the daughter of Lewin, the lord of Purple Sun City, and 2 years later, Queen Freya gave birth to a son Prince Warren for Landry, Lewin Nolan is the father-in-law of the current Gilgian King Landry Pars, and Prince Warren's grandfather.

Lewin Nolan's status is not comparable to that of ordinary lords, which is why Maramo is so respectful to the lord of Purple Sun City.

Five days after the territorial armies of Jade Mountain City and Ziyang City retreated from the Heavenly Dome Mountain Range, Meng Fan and Parker walked on the streets of Ziyang City, holding several books in Meng Fan's hands.

"Claude, why are you suddenly so interested in reading? Parker held a string of sugar gourds he had just bought from a street vendor.

"It's good to open the book, Parker. Meng Fan said with a smile, "Alas, I also want to read some books, but I don't know how to read." Parker took a bite of the sugar gourd and said, Parker, who has been living on the streets since he was a child, has not received any education, and he can't even read a book if he doesn't even know a word.

"Parker, I can teach you how to read. Meng Fan turned his head and said, "Great, Meng Fan, are you willing to teach me to read?" Parker said excitedly, "Of course, as long as you want to learn." Meng Fan nodded.

"Haha, that's great, Claude. Parker ate all the sugar gourds in his hand in one go, and then hugged all the books in Meng Fan's hand, "Claude, it's not too late to start learning literacy now." Parker asked quietly.

"No, Parker, it's never too late if you're willing to learn. Meng Fan looked at the pile of books that Parker was holding in his hand and whispered, and at the top of the pile was a thick book called "Peggy Loraine's Battle Notes".

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..." A group of heavily armed soldiers hurried from the end of the street, and the crowd on the street avoided the sides.

The bell in Ziyang City was also ringed, "What's going on again?" Parker held the book and looked left and right, "I don't know. Meng Fan frowned, looking at the appearance of these soldiers, they should be going to arrest someone.

"Let's go back first. Meng Fan said, "Oh, okay. Parker hurriedly followed Meng Fan to the place where he lived.

Just walked outside the residence where he lived, Meng Fan saw a line of fresh blood, "Parker." Meng Fan pointed to the blood stains on the ground, and Parker hurriedly threw the book in his hand on the corner of the wall and took out the dagger from his arms.

"Claude, I'll go check it out. Parker motioned for Meng Fan to stand outside the courtyard and go in first to find out the situation.

Sticking to the wall, Parker cautiously entered the courtyard, Meng Fan, who was standing outside the courtyard, was very nervous, eldest brother Bogula went to the lord's mansion this morning and should not have come back yet, who left these blood stains?

"Claude. Parker's voice rang out in the courtyard, "Come in." Parker called out to Meng Fan. Meng Fan hurriedly walked into the courtyard, where a masked man passed out under the eaves, the man was injured, and there was a long sword stained with blood at the man's feet.

"Who is he?" Meng Fan walked lightly to Parker's side, Parker squatted down and took off the mask on the face of the fainted man, who was a brown-haired man, about forty years old.

Parker briefly examined the brown-haired man, "He had two arrows and three serious knife wounds, and he broke the arrows himself, but the arrows were still in his body..."

"Parker, see if he's still wearing anything. Meng Fan pointed to the man who had fainted on the ground, and Parker put his hand deep into the brown-haired man's arms and touched it for a moment.

Soon, Parker pulled out a black amulet, "This is a military amulet." Meng Fan recognized this black military warrant, the military warrant is a token used to mobilize the army, and Meng Fan's eldest brother Bogula has a red military warrant.

"He's from the territorial army?" Parker looked at the black talisman in his hand suspiciously, "Parker, show me this talisman." Meng Fan opened his mouth and took the military command talisman from Parker's hand, and Meng Fan carefully looked at the black command talisman in his hand.

Although the name of the bearer will not be written on the military warrant, it will be engraved with a seal, and the military talisman in the hand of Meng Fan's eldest brother Bogula has the family crest of the Lewin Nolan family, the lord of Ziyang City, and the military talisman in Meng Fan's hand is engraved with three raised iron pillars.

"This is the family crest of Marquis Barlow, Lord of Iron Stream. Meng Fan recognized that the family crest on the military order in his hand belonged to the Lord of Tieliu City, "He is a member of the Territory Army of Tieliu City?" Claude, wasn't the Territory Army of Tieliu City completely wiped out by the Bretan Army in the Sky Dome Mountain Range not long ago?"

Meng Fan stared at the fainted man on the ground and thought for a moment, "Parker, you carry him inside first, and I'll clean up the blood stains outside." Meng Fan said. "Oh, okay. Parker followed Meng Fan's instructions and picked up the brown-haired man who had fainted on the ground and put him on the bed in the house.

"Claude?" Meng Fan had just cleaned up the blood stains outside the courtyard when the eldest brother Bogula and his attendant Golding rushed back.

"Big brother. Meng Fan brought Bogula into the house, and standing in the room, Bogula stared at the unconscious brown-haired man on the bed.

"Claude, did he break into this yard on his own?" asked Bogula, looking up, "yes, big brother, Parker and I just came back and saw him collapsed in the house, and we found this on him. Meng Fan handed the black military talisman in his hand to Bogula.

After taking the military order and looking at it a few times, Bogula looked down at the man lying on the bed again, "Big brother, he is very seriously injured, we should go and get a doctor, or send him to the church..."

Bogura shook his head, "No. Bogula looked up at Meng Fan, "Claude, you don't know yet, not long ago, the commander of the territory army of Yushan City, Count Maramo, was assassinated. Bogula said.

"The commander of the Yushan City Territory Army has been assassinated!" Meng Fan showed a look of surprise, no wonder there were many soldiers on the street who were searching for someone just now.

"Big brother, do you suspect that Count Malamo was assassinated by him?" Meng Fan asked in a low voice, "Is it possible, I got information from the Lord's Mansion that this assassin killed Count Malamo and was wounded in the process of escaping, and now the city is searching for this assassin everywhere." Bogura said in a deep voice.

"Then big brother, we..." Meng Fan looked at the elder brother in front of him, "Golding, you go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine to stop bleeding and bandages and come back." Bogura instructed Golding, the squire behind him.

"Big brother, you want to..." "I know a little bit about how to bandage his wounds, and I should be able to help him stop the bleeding." Bogura replied. "Big brother, aren't we going to hand him over?" Meng Fan said softly.

"After he wakes up, ask him why he assassinated the commander of the territory army of Yushan City, just hand him over to the lord, he will definitely die. Bogura replied.

Soon, Golding bought back the medicine and bandages, and Bogura removed the arrows from the brunette man on the bed and bandaged the wounds.

"That should do. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Bogura wiped the sweat from his forehead, and with the assistance of Parker and Golding, Bogura took care of the man's wounds.

"Big brother, he won't die. Meng Fan looked at the large pile of bloodstained robes and cloth towels beside the bed, "His body is very strong, ordinary people would have died long ago after such a serious injury, I think he should be able to survive." Bogura said as he washed his hands with the water Golding had brought.
