Malbert was sent back to Long River by the Owl Knights, and the actor played the stomach ache with a god-like and quite high level of proficiency.

However, the lord did not choose to run away after all.

Although it is indeed very risky to follow the Lion Knights on the road, at least Leon knows that the Lion Knights will definitely not kill him on the road.

The reason is simple - if you sneak in and kill yourself, it will not do anyone good.

If anyone wants their own life, no matter who they are, they must do so to be able to get their own wealth, unless there is some blood feud.

But the lord thought about it carefully, and felt that there should be no grudge against King Ulrik and the Lion Knights at the moment.

And what will be remembered in his hands is not a direct asset such as land or cash, but a company of Maixiang Group.

The company is made up of people.

If they die unexplained, none of the people who make up the company are stupid, they will either go to Godric, the majority shareholder, or they will just run away, and the people who killed them will get nothing.

Moreover, even if the king wants to kill himself, he will definitely go through a process.

Even if you have to trap yourself and find a way to brand yourself as a rebel and sentence yourself to death, at least you have to be executed publicly in the square of the House of Nobles.

So there is no need to worry for the time being, let's talk about it when we get to Lion City - the lord is still confident in the ability of his company's employees, and it is difficult to say the combat effectiveness of Changhe Express, but when it comes to movement speed, this professional transportation team will definitely be higher than the Lion Knights.

Leon has already instructed Amy to let Lesri gather the elite of the team to Lion City, and Lesri will definitely lead the team herself, and it is estimated that Silky's execution efficiency will be long before the lion knights.

Leon didn't know what Ulrik was going to do with him, but as long as there were enough of his men there, the lord would have the confidence to turn over.

After all, he is no longer alone, with subordinates and without subordinates, the courage is different.

But the price of not running away is to be shackled.

Of course, the lion knights only tied his hands in front of him, presumably to prevent him from hurting people with weapons, and did not restrict his movements.

Probably out of respect, they didn't keep Leon shut up, and still let him ride his own horse, without even looting his belongings.

The suspect had not yet been convicted, and the lion knights were still relatively polite, but since it involved treason, it was the king who ordered the arrest, and the use of shackles was justified.

It's just that none of the lion knights had any conversations with Leon.

This is probably the after-effect of rescuing Amy with the lion knights - these lion knights probably don't want to give the lord any chance to cheat and do things.

No matter what Leon said, the lion knights all listened and did not respond at all.

So the lord didn't pay too much attention to words, and instead thought about what to do next.

The lord was thinking about things all the way, didn't talk much, didn't try to escape, and looked honest.

Without receiving any instructions, Risardiran did not act rashly, but remained behind the Lion Knights.

The Noldor Elf's ability to use the environment is superb, with trees, hills, and fog along the way being his tools to hide his body.

Except for Li Ang, who had long known that he was behind, he didn't let anyone find out.

Three days later, Leon was taken to the Qicha Fortress.

Speaking of which, the Lord has actually had a pretty easy time these three days.

The journey of the Lion Knights is not too fast, and although Li Ang is arrested, he is a nobleman after all, and there are lion guards to take care of Li Ang all the way, so don't worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Leon also gained a new understanding of the quality of life of these lion knights.

When the lord was in his own territory, he did a lot of things himself, and when he was in White Deer Castle, there were no servants to serve, and Amy's family didn't even have a housekeeper - Amy didn't bring a maid herself.

The lords of the eastern border counties were indeed relatively simple compared to the nobles in the hinterland of the kingdom, and even Godric did not have many attendants.

The lord sighed a little, he has been in Pande for more than a year, and he can be regarded as a nobleman, but he has not enjoyed the corruption of the nobles "due" at all, which is really a bit unusual......

On the contrary, after being arrested, he didn't need to do anything himself, and he was fed with food.

Except that no one was talking to him, it felt more like a vacation.

But this good life soon came to an end, and after the Lion Knights took Leon into the Seven Forks Fortress, they politely lifted his shackles and invited him into a prison cell.

It wasn't one of the dark, damp prisons in the basement, but a small stone house on the edge of the city walls, presumably a separate prison dedicated to the detention of the aristocracy.

The light in this prison is quite good, and the living facilities in it are also very complete, and it is quite clean.

It seems that there is a preparation here.

Although this kind of detention is also normal, the lord still expressed his dissatisfaction: "Hey, did you just leave me here?" Why don't you go to the Lion City right away? ”

No one answered, but closed the iron door.

Li Ang pursed his lips, looking at it like this, the trouble he is about to face is probably a bit tricky!

But in the spirit of facing the situation in the best condition, Leon closed his eyes and thought about it, and then began to eat and drink to his heart's content, and forced himself to start sleeping.

He slept until midnight, when Leon was awakened by the sound of a key unlocking.

He rolled over and sat up, and then saw the iron door opened, and Sir Lehman came in with a food box in one hand and a torch in the other.

There seemed to be a few people standing outside the door.

After lighting the lamp in the cell with a torch, Lehman stuck the torch in the iron ring on the wall of the doorway, and then placed the food on the table one by one with his back to Leon in a very slow motion.

There is wine and meat, and the dishes are quite hearty.

But the lord just stood up and didn't do anything.

Lehman sighed and turned around, frowned, unsheathed the saber from his waist, placed it on the table, and sat down.

"Lord Leon...... Did you know that if you enter the Lion City, you probably won't be able to get out......"

Lehman's voice was soft, and he gestured with his eyes to the sword on the table.

Leon shook his head and looked at the people at the door.

"They can't stop you...... With your skills, it's normal to run away from those people. ”

Lehman's voice was softer.

"No, I can't run, I'm not treasonous......" Li Ang still shook his head: "What's the matter?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you're guilty or not...... His Majesty had asked me to take you to the Lion City, and said that if you resist, you would be killed. I didn't dare to agree, so I made an excuse to shirk it......"

Lehman lowered his voice and poured himself a glass of wine, but did not give it to Leon.

"Kill? Looks like you're ready to kill me? But if it's for my life, then why take me to Lion City? ”

Such an order did mean that the situation was serious, and it seems that Lehman, like Malbert, felt that Leon might not escape death.

But Leon didn't understand, why did the king have such a plan?

"The letter that the Emperor of the Bacchus Empire wrote to you is already known to many people, so you should have seen it too......"

Lehman took a sip of wine, a hint of regret in his eyes.

"Maybe I'll be the last one to see...... But the king can't convict me on the basis of the Empire's letters alone, can he? ”

Li Ang spread his hand: "Such an obvious divisive plan, not so much!" ”

"Lord Leon, the main problem is not in the letter, but in the Three Prophets—you know, I brought them back to the Lion City. The king did not dispose of the three prophets, but set them free, as you might expect. But ever since, His Majesty has been following your news, and as soon as that letter appeared, he immediately gave the order to arrest you, and he seems to have been looking for your handle. ”

Speaking of this, Lehman shook his head, as if he was also a little puzzled: "I don't know why, but the Three Prophets must have said something to King Ulrik. You've beaten them, and they've hated you to the bone, so ......"

Lehman looked at the sword again, and turned his head to look at the door that was still open: "You can run away now, I will lead someone to hunt you down, but I know you will definitely be able to escape......"

"Are the Three Prophets still in the Lion City?"

Leon was indeed a little nervous, and it stands to reason that Ulrik should not let the Three Prophets stay in the city.

"No, they were in a swamp near Crag Rock Bay, and I personally led the team to escort them. Although the king did not kill them, he did not allow them to have any more armies. They are being watched very closely, and they will not be able to get out for a while. ”

Lehman replied with a shake of his head.

It seems that Ulrique is not stupid enough to go home, but it also means that he did make a deal with the Three Prophets.

"So, it's the three prophets who are harming me...... But Lehman, why are you telling me this? If I run away, you'll be responsible......"

Leon was indeed a little curious, Lehman was actually helping himself: "Why? ”

"People like you don't deserve to die for something like this...... I failed at your hands, that was the only time I failed in the arena, and I haven't been able to win it back yet! ”

Lehman frowned tightly: "Moreover, I know Godric's relationship with you, and I don't want to see civil strife in the kingdom." ”

Leon nodded: "Thank you, but I can't escape...... I am not a traitor, and I cannot be charged with treason. ”

Lehman sighed again, said nothing more, picked up his saber and left.

The next day, Leon was taken to the Lion City.

It was the royal city guards who took him away.

The lord did not encounter any public trials—for no one publicly accused Leon.

That letter was only a unilateral letter from a hostile state, and although it was written by the emperor, it was not valid evidence.

In this case, the king can suspect Leon and ask Leon to defend himself, but he will not go through any trial process.

In any country on the Pander continent, it is not legal to judge nobles out of mere suspicion.

A trial may not take place unless there is a statement that can be used as testimony in the course of the self-defense, or if someone has valid evidence to make accusations.

But King Ulrik didn't even use the process of defending himself, and Leon was taken directly into the secret chamber of the palace.

Leon was brought in blindfolded, as was customary, and since the establishment of the Lion Kingdom, foreign ministers had to wear blindfolds when entering the palace outside of the throne room.

It's probably because the lion kings of the past generations didn't have a sense of security.

After the blindfold was removed, Leon turned his head to look.

He was in a room that was almost completely enclosed, with no door in sight, only a window with iron bars, but the window was not facing outside, but facing the other room.

But in the opposite room was not King Ulrik, but Yin Gor, dressed in a bachelor's uniform, sitting.

The lord is in a luxurious prison.

This is probably the secret room where King Ulrike once held Lord Andrew, and it is probably also the place where he talked to people in private.

"Baron Leon, long time no see...... You should know why His Majesty invited you......"

Yin Geor spoke through the iron window, and he didn't look very good, and his speech was a little weak.

"Scholar, if the Lion Knights handcuff me is also an invitation, then I really don't understand the reason......"

The lord didn't give a good face, after all, this belongs to the king who doubts the loyalty and character of a lord, and in this case, if he is not angry, he is kneeling and licking, but there is no good end.

"Marius, the puppet emperor, has made you a "General of Changhe Town"! You're not going to explain this? ”

Yin Geor smiled lightly, and the pen in his hand was dipped in ink and ready to record.

It seems that Ulrique gave Leon a chance to defend himself, and this kind of conversation record made by the court scholar is legitimate, but this kind of one-on-one secret room exchange is not very fair to Leon.

"How do you explain it...... The Bacchus Empire also said that I can eat five children in one meal with three heads and six arms...... That's what hurts me. ”

Li Ang spread out his hands: "Scholar Yin Geer, why don't I also give Emperor Marius a "Mai Xiang Ling Knight", what do you think?" ”

Yes, this kind of one-sided reward has a gross use, and even Malbert can see that it is a divisive measure.

Yin Geor shook his head and laughed: "Leon, after all, he is the emperor of a country, why doesn't he harm Godric, doesn't harm Brenus, why does he harm you?" You've got to give me a reason...... Someone told me what you were doing when you went to the territory of Bacchus the other day? ”

"Go buy food. I'm sure the lion knights should have told you that I grow a lot of food in my territory......"

This is indeed the truth, and Leon replied without the slightest hesitation.

"That's admitting that you're negotiating a deal with the Bacchus Empire......"

Yin Geor, who was recording, said a word, and then wrote hard.

"Scholar Yin Geor, I'm buying grain, not selling grain! Buying food from other countries shouldn't be a crime, right? ”

Leon shook his head helplessly.

"Who knows what you bought it for......" Yin Geor smiled meaningfully.

"Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have farmed, I shouldn't have let my people eat, I shouldn't have stockpiled military rations...... You shouldn't contribute to the country......"

The lord began to mess up, anyway, there was no one else here now, and the charges imposed were not convincing, and such a small crime would not kill anyone.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to record ......"

Yin Geor sighed, put the pen in his hand aside, and stood up.

"Li Ang, I might as well tell you directly, Your Majesty doesn't care why Marius targets you, in fact, no one cares if you will commit treason, but Your Majesty needs your Maixiang Company."

The lord's eyes widened in surprise, he could think that the king wanted to blackmail, but he really didn't expect the king to directly ask for his company.

"That's the company, Scholar Ageor! It's not cash, it's not something I can give to whomever I want! ”

It suddenly dawned on Leon that neither King Ulrike nor the Ingor scholar understood the nature of the joint-stock company.

They probably thought it was property, like the workshop-style property of the common aristocracy......

However, Maixiang Company is a joint property of shareholders, and although Li Ang is the largest shareholder with absolute control, he cannot transfer his shares at will.

Moreover, the company's business is all interconnected, and Leon has invested a lot of money in the unprofitable Changhe Express. At present, various subsidiaries are constantly carrying out internal capital turnover, which no one can play except Li Ang.

Those investors and businessmen who have become agents will now only believe in Leon and Godric, who have always been trustworthy, and if the company changes hands, it is only afraid that it will have to suffer a withdrawal and margin run in minutes, and it is normal for it to collapse within a few days......

"Looks like you're unwilling? Leon, the dinar is not life-important......"

Yin Gere's expression was not good, he thought that Li Ang was unhappy.

"It is not a question of willingness or not, I can give His Majesty the King and you some shares, if His Majesty is willing to escort the company. But I really can't give the company to anyone, and you probably don't know that the actual assets of Maixiang are negative right now......"

Leon smiled bitterly.

Maixiang International's current actual assets are indeed negative, because the recent expenses are a bit large, Changhe Express has been operating at a loss, and the construction of the territory has been consuming funds.

Although a lot of silver coins are stored in the hand, these silver coins cannot be touched for the time being, which is the deposit paid by the merchants who opened chain stores everywhere, and it is also the principal of the first investors.

Of course, at the rate at which those "entertainment venues" make money, it will be possible to turn a profit in a few months.

But Yin Geor doesn't believe it......

Judging from the business foundation of the Lion Kingdom, this scholar obviously did not understand how Li Ang's Maixiang Group operated.

"Hmph...... If you don't want to, stay here......"

After the blackmail attempt, the bachelor left directly, his face was quite bad.

When the door on the other side was closed, the whole room fell into silence and darkness.

The company really can't give it out, and if it does, it will be considered that it is an empty shell to deceive people, and if it really hands over the property, it is estimated that he will die-the king will not leave himself a strong enemy.

The lord took out a fire sickle from his body, scraped it directly on the iron window a few times, looked at the environment with Mars, and then simply went to rest with confidence and boldness.

There is food and drink here, and the railing of the iron window is only ordinary cast iron the thickness of a little finger, and it is not a modern high-tech product.

If you really want to escape, this secret room can't stop Li Ang, who has gunpowder on his body.

Besides, there will definitely be people coming, and since you know that Ulrique is here for money, you won't be killed until you achieve your goal.

It's just that the lord is very unhappy - he has always kidnapped and blackmailed others, but now he is kidnapped and ransom, which is really retribution......
