The Way of the Antelope (thanks to the advanced construction of the alliance leader)
It is said that antelopes can sense danger ahead of time.
Kieran is not an antelope, but he apparently has similar abilities.
After Reodio said to Solomon the oracle that everyone in the future would know, Kieran felt a sense that something was wrong.
He didn't expect that this look was a little gloomy, and the young Hughes with a mean smile was really misanthropic and felt that he had lived enough, so he actually ran to Solomon to provoke the commander of the Wing Clan.
If he had known that he was going to do such a thing, Kieran would stop him no matter what.
But it was too late to talk about this kind of thing now, although Kiran had sworn to Solomon early on that he had no contact with the Shuangxiu Sect, and it was Reio who suddenly approached him and asked him to do him a small favor in his previous relationship and arrange this meeting.
But having spent so much time with Solomon, Kiran knows very well what kind of person this Wing Clan commander is, and once he starts to doubt you, even if there is no evidence, he will not reuse you again.
After all, the last thing Solomon lacked was dogs, and since he captured Lionheart and killed Garth, there has been an endless stream of imperial nobles who have come to him.
And once you lose Solomon's trust, it is not just as simple as being excluded from the center of power, but also often accompanied by other dangers, and even loss of life.
So after that night, Kiran was already in his mind.
In contrast, the silver hand was much more sluggish, and although he was afraid, he waited for a month and saw that Solomon did not move, and he gradually relaxed his heart.
He was surprised to hear that Kieran was planning to leave Lionheart.
"Are you not going to continue to be the Imperial Minister?"
As the hottest political star in the royal capital during this time, Silver Hand tasted power for the first time, and the taste was so luscious, more unforgettable than a girl's lips.
Suddenly hearing that he was leaving the royal capital, Yinshou was a little reluctant, but he quickly thought of something again, revealing a sudden look.
"Do you want to go back to the territory to have a look, yes, we are all noble lords now, but we haven't inspected the territory yet, so we can't let the people below take all the money away."
Hearing this, Kiran shook his head and said, "I won't go back to my own territory. ”
"What about you...... Do you want to go to my place first? ”
"I'm even less interested in your territory."
"And where are you going?"
"North." Kiran softly spat out two words.
"North?" Silverhand froze, "Okay, why are you suddenly going to the north, isn't it the enemy's territory?" ”
Kiran glanced at him, "Enemy? You've only been a nobleman for a few days, and you've already tied yourself to those Wing Clansmen. ”
"What's wrong with that?" Silverhand was puzzled, and then added, "Of course I know we're not one of those Wingmen, but you have to admit that Solomon was nice to us."
"He gave us knighthoods, land, and a great fortune that I could not have imagined before, and now we go out in carriages and live in mansions, and no one calls you the Golden Voice or the Silver Hand, and they all call us ...... My lord.
"My lord, I've never found these two words so pleasant before, I know that you are still a believer in the Shuangxiu Sect, and so am I, but even Merlin didn't offer me such good conditions.
"And we all introduced that kid named Revisual to Solomon, and we have taken a lot of risks in this matter, which is already very competent, wait, you said you were going to the north, not to the west?"
"Nonsense, the West is about to go to war, who will go to the West at this time." Kieran said lightly.
"Allister? Really, you fancy that kid? ”
"I'm not optimistic, but we don't have a choice now, do we, at least the environment in the north, even if Solomon is determined to fight, he won't be able to win it in a few years."
"But why do you have to go?"
"If you want to stay, you can stay, as long as you're not afraid of losing your head."
Silverhand finally sobered up a little at this time, and frowned, "Do you think Solomon has murderous intentions towards us?" Did he know about us carrying the information behind his back to send the information to the green field?
"Yes, Roe Visual Hughes has been arrested, and he's likely to leak his relationship with us, so do we want to ......" Silverhand made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Kieran laughed angrily at him, "Didn't you hear, Solomon still wants to keep him for Lanita, how can it be so easy to kill him, and do you know where to find a professional killer?" ”
"I don't know, I was just a bard before."
"That's it, and I think I need to warn you again, don't mess with the Tsengse, Merlin and Saturday are a hundred times stronger than those in those poems, and I have a hunch that Solomon may not have good fruit to eat this time."
"Shall we go then?" The silver hand is still reluctant to live the extravagant life of Lionheart Castle, and is reluctant to hold the territory that has not yet been covered in his hands.
"I'm leaving." Kiran said, "It's hard to say if Solomon will win, if he loses, he will definitely be angry with us, but it's not easy to get out of the city now, let's pretend nothing happened in the last month or two, and it's business as usual." ”
Silverhand nodded, and then thought of something else, "Did you say that Lord Solomon would take us to the Westside before the war began?" Or at least take you, doesn't he like to take you with him in everything he does during this time. ”
"No, it won't." Kieran affirmed, "As I said, he's lost trust in us. ”
Silver Hand still didn't believe it in his heart, but he didn't expect that Solomon would lead his army to the expedition two months later, and he really didn't take the two of them with him.
Silverhand was convinced, and he was determined to run away with Kieran.
Kiran casually found a reason to go out of the city on business, and then the two of them, who had already changed into civilian clothes, took advantage of the darkness to burrow into the woods, but let the carriage continue to attract the attention of possible stalkers, and finally managed to escape.
Until he couldn't see Lionheart anymore, Silver Hand was still looking back frequently, his eyes full of reluctance.
He sighed, "Alas, I finally got a taste of being a nobleman, and now I was beaten back to the prototype, but fortunately, I brought a lot of gold out, and it wasn't in vain." ”
"Who said we were civilians?" Kiran said.
"Do you think Allister will accept Solomon's bounty?" Silver Hand didn't believe it.
"Why don't you admit it?" Kieran asked rhetorically, "We gave up the land and title that Solomon gave us, and went all the way to him, and if Allister is not stupid, he should make it up to us twice, so that he can show his kingly appearance, and also tell the other nobles that it was the right choice to defect to him." ”
Seeing that Silver Hand was still a little confused, Kiran patiently explained, "Solomon has lost his trust in us, and Allister doesn't know what happened to us, in the eyes of him and others, we are Solomon's henchmen, the political stars of Lionheart.
"So of course Allister also has to accept us according to this identity, rest assured, your noble title will not be lost, and the land will also be available, although it may only be a promise at this stage, but the money will definitely not be less."
"That's fine." The silver hand served.
Kieran hadn't finished yet, "When we get to the north and gain a foothold by Allister's side, we can continue to find a way to send information to the green fields, if the west is not swallowed by Solomon." ”
At this time, the silver hand has already thrown himself to the ground, and he can't take it anymore.
"Anyway, no matter who wins in the end, we're definitely not going to lose." Kiran said leisurely.
Indeed, the Bard was warmly welcomed upon his arrival in the North, and a year later succeeded in marrying the daughter of the late Emperor Gars.
In the subsequent Unification War, because of his outstanding performance, he assisted Queen Victoria's army to recover the northern territory bloodlessly, and finally became the new Duke of the North.
