Chapter 196: "Coincidental Encounter"?

Nick never expected to run into Rhodes here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The veteran spy of Narig, after receiving the news of Midland's military invasion of Anteli that day, hurried back to his homeland, and at the last moment prevented the new king from gathering an army to declare war on the Empire, without thinking about the life or death of the young man who had been thrown into the arena.

The ensuing progress of the war also shocked and frightened him, according to the spies who remained in the north, Anteli, as one of the three kingdoms, was actually forced to surrender by his previous target mother, the self-proclaimed guardian Duchess Foster - half of the country's army was disbanded on the spot, a small half fled north to the remaining two dukes, and less than a tenth turned into rebels to continue to resist.

His actions seem to have provoked something terrible.

The Duke of Upper Winway has always been known for his low profile, and the couple rarely shows their heads. The outside world knows only about them: the duke himself is a good man, but he is the commander of the imperial army, and his wife is a beauty who rarely goes out......

Who would have thought that this woman, who most people had only heard of, would enter the public eye for the first time, in this form that was so flamboyant that it was unbelievable?

......

What is a Guardian? I've never heard of it. Is it also because of the intelligence that the Midland Emperor has always held Foster and his wife in high esteem? Does this mean that she can also influence the policies of the Empire if the woman wants to?

It was too reckless to rush into the decision to use the other side as a breakthrough to carry out the restoration plan without a lot of information being clarified, but it was impossible for Nick to criticize his king to his face, and after some "negotiations" with the latter, they finally came to a consensus: it was not appropriate to make any further moves until all doubts were clarified. The preparations for war made a few days ago were almost discovered by the officials of the Imperial garrison, but fortunately, they finally took the initiative to send troops to fight against Antaili together with the Empire, and they barely got through.

While the man who had spent months tracking, watching, and hunting down was close at hand, Nick knew that he must not touch a single hair of Narieg, at least until he left.

He sighed, didn't make any eye contact with the other party, walked past the side with his head down, and walked out of the palace gate directly.

"What's wrong. Nikita's astonishment didn't escape Rod's ears, and he turned his head and asked strangely.

The girl stared at Nick's back again for a moment, then turned around, "It's nothing, I saw the man who walked over just now." ”

"Didn't you say that it was the first time you left Sardenberg, how could you still meet acquaintances here. ”

"He must have been to Sardenberg, I would never recognize the wrong person!" Nikita was questioned by the eldest brother and eagerly explained: "'When you come out to mix, eyesight is very important', my former eldest brother taught us this every day." Remembering as many people as you can can avoid a lot of trouble – like accidentally talking to a local or someone who has asked for money before, or even running into a city administrator who doesn't know you and running into a gun...... Ah, I remember, the first time I met that person just now, it was the same day I met my eldest brother!"

Luo Yi was disliking his brother and chatting with this little liar like friends, but he narrowed his eyes when he heard this: "What?"

"I remember the events of that day quite clearly, after all, it's the first time I've seen such a good-looking person as my eldest brother. Nikita replied with some embarrassment: "I asked my eldest brother for money, and then I was driven away by a very fierce man next to my eldest brother......"

"Morfan. ”

"Oh, I was chased away by Morfan, and I scurried back to the side of the road to wait for the next target, and then I saw the man from earlier. Nikita pouted, still feeling a little dissatisfied with the rough treatment he had received: "Although that guy has a very common face, his expression is solemn and serious, and he doesn't look around like the eldest brother...... At first glance, it is the type that has seen the world, and it is definitely not the type that can cheat money. ”

Roy's pace slowed down, she didn't believe in this kind of coincidence, but suddenly remembered that she had revealed her brother's whereabouts to someone, and suddenly fell into an ice cave: "Are you sure it's that person?"

The eldest sister finally looked at herself, and the girl hurriedly swore a poisonous oath: "Sure! If I lie, I will be thundered and struck in the sky, and my buttocks will be sores and my whole body will rot to death!"

......

The other people in the entourage also noticed this topic, Dieter has been collecting and analyzing the information sent by the intelligence agents all over Anteli these days to find out who is dealing with Rhodes, but unfortunately he has no clue, but he didn't expect to encounter a clue here: "Miss, if you are in doubt, I can start investigating the recent financial and personnel movements from Narig to Anteli......"

"No, no. The Empire's intelligence system in Narig has only been established for a short time, and a rash investigation will only startle the snake. Luo Yi's face turned cold, and his eyes flashed with a fierce light as if he wanted to kill: "What's more...... What I want is not evidence to bring the man who intended to kill my brother to justice, but to punish him! ”

"Miss, don't be impulsive...... We can plan slowly. Grom was shocked, "Tell your lord or lady about it, and they'll find out." ”

"Impulsive, when have you ever seen me impulsive!?" Roy glared at the Great Swordsman impatiently, "I said, wait for me here." ”

Grom wanted to stop the girl, but thinking that his young lady had never done anything reckless, he forcibly suppressed his physical instincts, stood in the open space inside the palace gate, and watched her go away.

......

"What's the matter?" Nikita thought he had said something that upset Miss, "I did see that man." ”

Rhodes didn't react - it would be too arbitrary to judge that the person who wanted to harm him was the ruler of Narig just because Nikita saw a man in the palace who had arrived in Sartenburg on the same day as himself.

"This is the royal palace, and not everyone can come and go at will. If you meet someone on the street outside the palace who appeared with you in Sardenberg not long ago, it may be a coincidence that you went to see that tournament. But just now the man was walking alone in the palace without being accompanied, which shows that he knew the way, either the palace attendants or the officials of Narig. Dieter explained with a serious expression, but his heart churned violently: "But the chamberlains in the palace cannot have the qualifications and time and energy to go to Sardenberg to watch the jousting conference, then there is only one possibility." However, as a vassal state, Narieg should not send officials to Anteli's capital without the Empire's knowledge, which is taboo, and it is even more suspicious to happen to follow your ass into Sardenberg. ”

Grom looked worriedly at Roy, who was far away, and nodded in agreement, "And for some people, suspicion is serious enough. ”

Rod understood the reason for the matter, and also looked at his sister's back, and sure enough, he saw a man dressed as an attendant greet her, obviously to take her to King Soth: "Then Roy went alone, what do you want to do?"
