Li Xie is guarded by a tenth-order Sword Saint, and in the woods, Roy weighs it a little, and knows that even if he can kill Li Xie, he may have to accompany his surname!

The order of the so-called acting city lord was immediately left behind by him, and he surrendered his hand to Li Xie, and immediately withdrew his troops without saying a word!

This move also made Li Xie see that the soldiers on hand by Larry Brown are probably all a collection of interests, and there is no such thing as loyalty!

"Lord Duke...... Van Di Searle descended to the ground: "Why don't we rush to Ju Hua City overnight? Wait until tomorrow, the lower officials are afraid of Larry? Brown is prepared and has another idea that is not good for your lordship!"

"You don't have to worry about that. Li Xie smiled and said: "Before, he had an excuse to suppress bandits, and he could frame a blame, but if he had the ability to kill us, we could only admit it! Now that this excuse is gone, he will never dare to touch me! If he openly touches me, this crime is enough for him to be beheaded all over the house! I don't even know who he is, it is impossible for him to have a deep hatred with him, he must have been instructed by others, and if he can't make a move, he will not do it again under the premise that his own safety is not guaranteed!"

"Who would dare to instruct him to kill the Grand Duke of the Dynasty? Could it be that the Duke came to take over the city of Chrysanthemum and hurt Larry Brown's interests and made him take the risk?" said Van Dee Serre.

Li Xie sneered: "If I hang up here, do you think Your Majesty will not suspect it? Do you think Larry Brown can still be the acting city lord? The grand duke of the dynasty was killed in the area of Ju Huacheng, can he, the acting city lord, not accompany him to die? So as soon as I die, he will have to drag his family and run away immediately! And if I take over Ju Huacheng, he can continue to be a nobleman in peace and stability, otherwise, he can also go to other places in a beautiful way! So, unless someone instructs and persecuts, he will never have the idea of touching me!"

"Who, then?" said Van Di Serre, in a deep voice.

Li Xie narrowed his eyes, and the cold light in his eyes overflowed: "Who else can it be? Lao Tzu has a holiday with the right phase, needless to say, it must be the right phase instigated, and Larry Brown must also be the right phase person!"

Fan Di Serre was furious, such an assassination of the minister of the dynasty was actually done by the right minister of the dynasty, and immediately said: "My lord, the lower official immediately returned to Yanjing to report this matter to His Majesty, Your Majesty will definitely investigate thoroughly, if it is really the right minister, even if he is the right minister of the dynasty, Your Majesty will definitely give your lord justice!"

"Van Di, Sel!" Li Xie suddenly snorted, his face a little unhappy: "Remember! You are now my escort, and everything is based on my safety! Didn't Your Majesty tell you?"

Since Fandy Serre followed Li Xie, Li Xie has never spoken loudly to him, let alone reprimanded, but now he suddenly lost his temper, which inevitably frightened Fandi Serre!

And although Fandy Serge followed Li Xie on the order of Mercedes VII, he was reluctant in his heart, but he did not dare to hold a tenth-order sword saint in front of Li Xie and be arrogant and presumptuous, because Fandi Serge knew that there was another Zeen beside Li Xie that he couldn't see through - a figure who was said to be a tenth-order sword saint!

This person obeyed Li Xie's words, even if Li Xie asked him to kill people in the court, he dared to do it!

In a certain respect, Li Xie actually had a greater deterrent effect on Fandi Serre than Mercedes VII.

Because Van Di Searle thought that if he made a mistake, Mercedes VII would curse him, and this evil duke who dared to kill people in the court might order him to be killed! The most feared thing is that the evil duke has someone around him who can kill him!

Therefore, as soon as he saw that Li Xie was angry, Fandi Ser hurriedly clenched his fists: "The lower official is not thoughtful, please surrender your lordship." ”

"Okay, I'm just telling you that in the future, think about my safety first, then think about my orders, and then everything else!

Li Xie was angry, it was Fan Di who was angry? Searle said His Majesty on the left and His Majesty on the right, and his heart was not his at all! He could even say this kind of thing about running to Yanjing by himself, and he didn't take Li Xie Tai seriously at all!

Now Van Dee Searle is Li Xie's entourage, and in Li Xie's opinion, even if it belongs to him, he must listen to him, at least think about him first!

This is not to say that Li Xie wants to oppose Mercedes VII, but Li Xie has a strong concept of his own people, he is his person, he treats him well, and he also hopes that his people will treat him well, in addition, the rest are outsiders, including Mercedes VII!

This may be a kind of psychology that Li Xie himself has not even discovered - possessiveness!

"As for whether this matter was instigated by the right minister...... Li Xie smiled coldly: "My lord doesn't need evidence, and your majesty doesn't need it either!"

The so-called evidence is nothing but things that the superior shows to the subordinates! If the superior really wants to kill a person, the inferior person can immediately see the so-called "conclusive evidence"! For example, if Mercedes VII wants to kill the right minister, he only needs to sneeze and accuse him of polluting the air, and then he can find out that he has committed corruption and bribery, and so on, and list the ten major crimes, all of which are capital crimes! In fact, whether the right minister has done it or not, it is all death! If others want "evidence," Mercedes VII can give as much as they want! It's as simple as that!

And Li Xie is even simpler, he wants to kill the right minister, kill him directly! There is no need to give evidence! Mercedes VII still needs to block the mouth of Youyou, but Li Xie doesn't! He just needs to know whether he has the ability and whether he can bear the consequences of killing the right minister!

Therefore, Li Xie doesn't need to care whether it is the right minister's instructions, he thinks it is, that is, as for the right minister, sooner or later he will be killed, the difference is when to kill!

"Okay, for the sake of safety, I won't sleep tonight, let's all tidy up, set off overnight, rest in the carriage, and we can get to Chrysanthemum City about tomorrow morning, and we can meet our acting city lord for a while! ”

"Yes, sir!"

In a manor house in the city of chrysanthemums.

It was dawn, and Larry Brown, the acting lord of the city, was still sitting in his study. This nobleman who looks gray-haired but red-faced, is smoking a big cigarette and drinking a little wine at the moment, obviously not working all night!

In addition to Larry Brown, there was another person sitting across from him, who was also a bit old, richly dressed, and a nobleman, and if anyone saw the black mole the size of a dragon's eye on his forehead, they would know that he was Earl Dex, the largest slave owner in Chrysanthemum City!

"Your Excellency Brown, I heard that he had set off overnight, and that he was driving slowly, and should arrive at about nine o'clock this morning. This time the bandit was unsuccessful, presumably Tiger Reddy had already confessed our affairs, and I heard that there was a tenth-order sword saint accompanying him to protect him, would there be danger on our side?" Count Gus said with some concern.

"What's the danger?" Larry Brown said disdainfully: "Even if Reddy confesses us, is there any evidence? If there is no evidence, we can also say that Reddy slandered! As for the tenth-order sword saint, it should be Fandi Searle! The dynasty is just a tenth-order sword saint! Your Majesty should have ordered him to escort the evil duke to Chrysanthemum City, and then let him go back, it is impossible to let him follow the evil duke all the time!"

"But......" said Count Gus, "if the evil duke knows that we are going to kill him, I am afraid that we will not have a good time in the future!

"Alas......" Larry Brown frowned, and threw a cigar to Count Gus: "You are the most vicious slave owner in Chrysanthemum Flower City, why are you so cowardly? Who is Chrysanthemum City? It's me Larry Brown's! It's our group of nobles who hold all the economy of Chrysanthemum City! Even if the evil duke officially becomes the city lord of Chrysanthemum City, he is also a city lord who has been set up! Everything is in our hands, and he dares to touch us? I know that if he dares to kill the right minister in the court, there is nothing he dare not do! However, he loves money! If we are moved, the economy of Chrysanthemum City will collapse immediately! Chrysanthemum City will immediately become a ruined city! Can he not consider it?"

Obviously, Larry Brown knew some things about Yanjing, but he didn't know the specific details, such as Van Di Serge not only escorting Li Xie, for example, Li Xie was not just a tenth-order master by his side!

"Yes, yes. As soon as Count Gus thought that the entire Chrysanthemum City, from the luxury goods trade to the vegetable market, were under their control, he immediately smiled! But he thought of a question again, and said: "The right minister let us kill him if we have a chance, and let him not develop if we don't have a chance, what should we do?"

"Simple!" Larry Brown smiled: "Tomorrow, we will let him understand who Chrysanthemum City belongs to! And then give him a sum of money to make him think that he is a city lord! If he is a person who understands, he will choose to cooperate with us, we will manage Chrysanthemum City, he is comfortable to be the city lord, and he has the money to share his share, and he doesn't have to worry about the rest! If he is not a person who understands, we will all withdraw, leaving an empty city and countless refugees for him! See how he is!"

"Withdraw? this ......"

"What? reluctant to do it?" Larry Brown sneered: "Do you think the right minister will protect us for the rest of our lives? If we kill the evil duke this time, we will have to escape! Do you think we can still be the soil emperor of Chrysanthemum City in peace? Hmph! We should plan well! My dear Earl Gus, don't be reluctant, rich and powerful, wherever we go, we are all nobles!"

The words rich and powerful made the sad Count Gus smile again and raise his glass: "Everything is obeyed by Your Excellency! Cheers to our noble title!"

"Cheers!"

The next day, nine o'clock in the morning.

Due to the slow driving of the horse convoy of the Evil Duke's Mansion, it has only arrived outside the north gate of Chrysanthemum City until now.

At this moment, the north gate of Chrysanthemum City is closed, and the city wall tower is unguarded.

Li Xie's horse convoy was turned away from the city gate!

Li Xie took the lead and got out of the carriage and walked to the front of the city gate, with Kano, Zeenard, and Fandy following him, and a group of guards behind him.

Kano said indignantly: "My lord, at this time, it is impossible for the city gate to be closed! Someone did it on purpose! It must be that old Larry! His grandmother's! My lord, let Kano go over the wall and teach him a lesson!"

"There's no hurry. Li Xie said: "We sent a message in advance, that guy should know that I am coming, this will close the city gate, what does it mean?"

Van Di Searle sneered, slightly angry: "My lord, what else can I mean? Obviously, I just need an excuse to give my lord, and my lord can't do anything about him!"

"Oh, get off the horse!" The corners of Li Xie's mouth raised slightly: "You say, what should I do now? You can't really go over the wall to get in, this is my city! When you go back to your own city, you have to climb over the wall, and you will lose face." ”

Zeenard stepped forward and said as he walked, "My lord, you don't mind changing the new city gate, do you?"

"Oh, I don't mind, I have a lot of money. ”
