The silvery moonlight softly poured into the prison of Nippur, shining through the stone window on an old man, who was in a daze when he heard footsteps outside the quiet cell. The dilapidated wooden door of the pen &www.biquge.info amp; fun & pavilion creaked open, and a jailer stuck his head in.

"Old fellow, Lord Kenny wants to see you. A thin-faced monkey-cheeked jailer rubbed his eyes.

The old man stood up, patted the dust off his body with his uninjured hand, and staggered out.

The jailer led him out of the cell, and a figure fell in the moonlight, looking tall and straight. The old man's gaze fell on the man's shoulder, and Kenny turned to look at the old man with a rickety back and smiled at him.....

When daylight came, another heavy snow fell on the city of Nippur, and unlike last time, this time the storm did not participate.

Kenny stood outside the Great Hall, looking at the flying edelweiss, tightening his sable cloak and looking into the distance, his wife in his mind.

It was also such a snowy winter, he stood outside the royal palace of the city of Karta, looking at the city of Karta in the snow, the streets in the distance were full of traffic, people did not stop working because of the cold, as his father said, the more you cultivate, the more you will harvest, and vice versa.

At this moment, a pair of slender hands wrapped around his waist from behind, and Kenny lowered his head and gently held those hands. Nina stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Honey, I think we have a child of our own."

An undisguised smile appeared on his face, he turned around and looked at his wife, an expression of surprise and surprise appeared on his face at the same time, he repeatedly asked his wife, really, we have a child?

Nina bowed her head slightly, and kept nodding. He gently moved his hand from Nina's shoulder to her stomach, and a trace of warmth lingered in his resolute eyes, lingering for a long time.....

"Winter?" a voice pulled him back from his memories.

He turned his head and looked at the snow-white Allen. "Hail. He replied.

"What's wrong?" Alan looked at Kenny with a worried face, "You look ..... Something is wrong. He began pacing back and forth, "Let me guess, you must have been thinking about your wife just now, right?"

"Expect things like God. Kenny replied with a smile.

"You shared that story with me, the day you stayed overnight in the snow. Interested in going on?" asked Alan with great interest.

"I'm afraid not right now. Kenny politely refused, "What's going on?"

"Oh-", Alan let out a long sigh, "I almost forgot, did you go to the prison after the banquet last night?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"I went to the prison just now to interrogate the old butler who attacked you yesterday, and I thought I would get some news about Barton from him, but the jailer of the prison said that you went to the prison last night and took the old fellow with you..... Allen explained.

"What?" Kenny's eyes widened, "You mean, someone went to the prison last night, pretended to be me, and took the old butler with them?"

"Yes. Alan sighed, "It seems that the guy who caused our crisis of confidence has a close relationship with the old butler, and if that's the case, Patton should have received news of our coup d'état and is on his way back....." He thought for a moment and added, "..... Or maybe they didn't have a relationship, they just found out that they had the same enemies as each other, so they united the front..... Anyway, we need to be prepared for Barton, who could return to Nippur at any moment. ”

"Indeed, he still has more than a thousand guards in his hands. Kenny worried.

"Not only that, but if he's smarter than we think, he should contact the nobles of Nipur first, those guys have a lot of knights loyal to them in their hands, and if that group of people unites, their strength should not be underestimated. Alan analyzed.

"I had Selsey send someone to keep an eye on the nobles last night, and if Barton delusionally tried to contact them, the spies would come and let us know. Kenny said.

Alan thought for a moment. "There is an even more important question ....."

"Lord—"

The owner of the voice was Sersi, who was galloping towards the Great Hall on horseback, and his lame riding skills made him look like he was riding a mule, which was very funny.

The war horse stopped outside the temple, and Sersi was covered in snow, as if he had been galloping outside for a long time, and he hurriedly got off his horse and ran to the two of them.

"Stand there! Don't move!" Alan yelled.

"Damn!" Selsi gasped, "Ice ..... Hail!"

"It's winter, you idiot!" Alan scolded helplessly.

"What's wrong?" Kenny looked at Selsey with an anxious face, "What's going on?"

"My lord, the sentries you have placed outside the city say that they have seen Barton, and suspiciously, he is not leading the thousand guards, only about thirty men with him, and they are running towards the city of Nipur from the east. Sersi gasped.

"Patton, with thirty?" Kenny said, looking at Allen.

"Is the message accurate? where's the sentinel who gave the news?" asked Allen, looking at Sercy.

"Exactly, it has been confirmed repeatedly. Those sentinels were set up by the lord just last night, one every other mile, those people are my hand-picked cronies, you can definitely rely on them, there are already three sentinels who have come to report the news, and they all say that they have seen it with their own eyes, and they will never be wrong. Sersi replied.

The two on the steps looked dazed, and Kenny munched on the news from Sercy in his mind, which sounded a bit unbelievable.

"I think it's a ruse. Alan looked at the two of them and said.

"I think too, but those sentinels don't lie. "I know Patton better than you about Patton, he has been assassinated one after another since he took office, so much so that he has to be protected by thirty guards when he sleeps, and he will take at least a hundred guards with him when he leaves Morwinburg, and I think those guys may be hell, but..... Those sentinels don't have the guts to lie!"

"Sentinels don't lie, Barton doesn't travel with thirty men....." Alan muttered to himself, frowning.

"They're heading towards Nipur?" Kenny asked.

"Yes, the sentinels say they're coming from the east toward the city of Nippur, and that they should be about twenty miles away from us now. Sersi replied.

"If only the old butler hadn't been rescued. Kenny muttered, "Does Barton have any other cronies?"

"It's gone. Selsey shrugged, "Barton has only one daughter, no other heirs and wives, otherwise he wouldn't care so much about Bella and send troops to attack the Blue Bone Clan for her." ”

Kenny was silent for a moment, then looked up at the two of them, "Remove the cross flag from the east wall, replace it with the original horn flag, and select three hundred elite soldiers, whether it's true or not, we all have to meet those guys!"
