Chapter 32

Miller pretended to be very surprised and asked, "Master, why do you intercede for them? You know that they are serious offenders who have committed the crime of treason! These two have harbored evil intentions for a long time! One of them infiltrated the army and joined the other thief inside and out. If it weren't for the General's caution, I'm afraid the Overseer's Sword would have been stolen. These two brothers are so ambitious and trying to cause trouble in the government, how can they be let go so easily! Could it be that you know the two of you?"

In the last sentence, Miller's voice was obviously much heavier, and there was a cold glint in his eyes.

By this time, Starmark and André had already been escorted over, and Miller had already ordered the two of them to be brought over by the time Abner arrived. Hearing Miller's words, Starmark was fine, but Andre's face had become extremely ugly, and he knew that he had caused trouble for the teacher, and it was a big trouble!

Miller glanced at the two of them, sneering in his heart, but his expression was very anxious, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at the starmark and said, "Besides, master, you don't know, this person also framed you as the mastermind of this sword theft!"

As soon as these words came out, Andrei's body shook, and he turned his head sharply, his eyes widened, and he looked at the star mark in disbelief. The expression on Starmark's face also froze in an instant, feeling Andre's gaze, he hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look at Andre.

At this moment, Andrei finally figured out why Starmark refused to tell him who he was witnessing for, it turned out that he was witnessing their teacher, Abner!

"Tell me, it's not true!" a hoarse voice came from Andrei's throat, his eyes bloodshot for a moment, and he jerked away from the soldier who was escorting him, grabbed Starmark by the collar, and stared at him with dead eyes.

Starmark didn't dare to look at Andre's eyes, but Andre obviously didn't intend to let him go, their faces were almost together, and the roar rushed into Starmark's ears: "Answer me, it's not true! You have no reason to ruin the teacher's reputation for life!"

"I—" Starmark gritted his teeth, he wanted to shout out loud and tell Andre "It's true!", but Starmark held back, because he didn't want to lose the brotherhood he had just enjoyed, otherwise he wouldn't have preferred to die before.

"Answer me!"

André yelled again, only this time there was much less anger in his voice and more pathos. Why didn't he care about the friendship with Starmark, even though Starmark's appearance had clearly told him that what the emperor said was true, but André was still expecting Starmark to tell him that it was fabricated by Miller and Shawsonard for a conspiracy against Abner, not him.

"Tell me why!" Andrei's voice was much quieter, but it was more grief-stricken.

Looking at the sadness in Andre's eyes, Xingji gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Because I want to take revenge on him, he demolished my home! My home is gone, my father, my mother will never come back, you know what!"

"You guy!" Andre jerked his fist and slammed it into Starmark's face.

The fist stopped in front of Starmark, and the punch did not hit Starmark's face. The fist was released, the arm fell, and then Starmark only felt his body tighten, and he was already in Andre's arms.

"Why did you tell me? Andrei's voice came from Starmark's ears, and there was blame in that voice, but more of it was the care from his family that Starmark hadn't heard in ten years.

Starmark's body trembled in Andre's arms, and he opened his mouth and said tremblingly, "I'm sorry... I..."

However, before Starmark could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a gentle voice. "Did you steal the Overseer's Sword? I asked him to do it, and I wanted my sixth disciple to give me a gift. ”

When the voice came out, almost everyone present was stunned, and the scene was silent, because it was Abner who said this. He said with a smile, casually. It seems that stealing the Overseer's Sword is not a major event that shakes the dynasty, but a small dispute between neighbors.

"Old... Teacher..."Andrei turned his head a little stiffly, he really couldn't believe that Abner would say such a thing, this is definitely a big rebellion, and it was said in front of Emperor Miller and General Shawsenald, even if Abner has many great achievements, this sentence alone can add him to the capital crime of causing chaos in the government.

Abner still smiled kindly, stretched out his hand and gestured, motioned for Andre to let go of the star mark, and then turned his head to look at Shawsonard and smiled lightly: "What's the matter? It's my birthday in a few days, and I chose a gift for my apprentice to give me, is it wrong?"

"Isn't that right?The gift you chose, but the Overseer's Sword, can that thing be used as a gift and say you want it!And this bastard boy is also your apprentice!?A great sage has taught a thief!" Shawsonard really wanted to shout, but he didn't dare to speak, but looked at Emperor Miller, with Miller present, naturally he didn't need to open his mouth here.

I'm afraid everyone present thinks this way in their hearts, but Star Scar is not. Starmark looked at Abner, looking at this somewhat unfamiliar, but yet familiar face, and he was a little distracted. Starmark knew that Abner didn't know anything about him stealing the Overseer's Sword, and that Abner was saying this to defend himself and take the blame on himself.

But when such a thing is said on such an occasion, what else can there be but a dead end?

Starmark originally thought that Abner had come to save Andre so he took the risk to come forward, but this sentence proved that Abner was protecting himself!

"Stinky old man... What are you thinking, do you think I'm going to get your affection like this!" Starmark wanted to yell, but for some reason, he suddenly lost his voice, his mouth wide open, but nothing could be said. Starmark stared at Abner with wide eyes, and although he couldn't feel what Abner had done, his instincts told him that his inability to speak must have something to do with Abner!

"Master. At this moment, Emperor Miller took a step forward, the humility on his face was gone, replaced by a murderous sneer, he had been waiting for this opportunity, and even he did not expect it to come so easily.

Miller's voice also cooled: "Master, I can't help you with your words, you know that stealing the Overseer's Sword is a capital crime to disrupt the government and frame important ministers. ”

As Miller's voice came out, Starmark suddenly felt a hairy back, and it felt like there were countless people staring at him. Starmark immediately understood that there were definitely not only these people on the bright side, but more people were hidden in the shadows, and all this had been arranged a long time ago, in order to target Abner!

"There are at least a thousand people lying in ambush around. Starmark immediately deduced. These people were so well hidden that Starmark didn't feel their presence until they revealed their murderous intentions. Starmark knew very well that this was definitely not a temporary transfer of soldiers, because there was absolutely no way to control the concealment of their breath so well, this was a conspiracy that had been laid out a long time ago! A conspiracy against Abner! And Starmark was like a spark, igniting the fuse and pushing Miller to carry out his long-planned plan.

At this point, Starmark wanted to speak loudly, he didn't want Abner to take all the blame. However, his mouth opened and closed, but he could not make a sound. Starmark didn't want to frame Abner anymore, he was still a child after all, and his childishness made him hate the old man who was always smiling. The momentary willfulness made this hatred last for several years. A moment of rebellion made him try his best to make trouble for Abner. Regardless, Starmark was not a great evildoer, and when Abner actually stood before him and faced the death penalty for his deeds, he began to regret it.

A wisp of blood slid down the corner of Starmark's mouth, and Starmark bit his lip urgently, because of himself, he hurt Andre, and also hurt Abner, and there may even be many people, he didn't want to do this anymore, but it was too late for him to regret it now.

Andre's knuckles were a little white because of the clenched fists too hard, and what the star marks could feel, he could naturally feel too. But now, like the star mark, he can't help at all.

"They are very filial, but they are not willing to disobey my wishes, so, let them go back, and I will stay. Abner was still breezy and calm.

How could Miller let Starmark and André leave? Abner is a character forged by God, and people's trust in him is blind, once Starmark and André are leaving, they will cause an uproar as long as they spread the word that they designed to frame Abner. There are also a few other disciples of Abner, who are even more difficult to deal with, each of them can be regarded as a powerful party in the Kingdom of Rune, if these people make a big fuss, the Kingdom of Rune will have a big shock, and then their throne will probably be threatened. Therefore, Miller still has to keep the star mark and André as a witness, and if he wants to push this idol to the hearts of the people, then only expose Abner's crimes in front of the people!

At that moment, Miller vetoed: "I'm sorry master, let's not say that this matter has not been clarified, I still need to leave the two of them to investigate." Besides, just because the two of them insulted the important officials of the court in public, they could not be let go. ”

Abner glanced at Starmark and Andre with some curiosity, "Insulting the important ministers of the court in public?" He came late and didn't know what had happened before.

"That's right," Andre quickly whispered about what had happened before.

After hearing what Andre said, even Abner was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Shaw Senrad and asked, "General, is this really the case?"

Shawsonard's old face had already turned red when André was telling, and it seemed even more unnatural to be asked by Abner, he really wanted to say that there was no such thing, or to distort the facts and leave a fig leaf for himself. But when he saw the look that Miller threw at him, he could only nod his head in embarrassment.

"He took off your clothes?" Abner asked again.

Shawsenard made a "click" sound between his fingerbones, and what he wanted to hide was brought up over and over again by Abner, making him ashamed and angry. But there was no way, before the moment of the break between Miller and Abner, as Abner, he could only endure his grief and indignation, and replied with hatred, "Yes." ”
