Just as Lan Dumu was about to leave with Kao and the others, he suddenly heard the sound of breaking the sky, and Kao's long-time battle-hardened person reacted very quickly, and threw Lan Dumu to the ground, but the three crossbow arrows also sank into Kao's right shoulder at the same time, and the minced flesh and bone penetrated directly from his back.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the monstrous flames swept away, and the flesh and blood in the sky turned into green smoke in the flames, and the three crossbow arrows were actually hidden fire spirit spells, and the moment they pierced the flesh and blood, they were triggered, neither Kao nor Lan Dumu had time to react, the horses were frightened and fled in all directions, and those who were not very good at riding horses fell off their horses one after another, and everyone was stunned by the sudden explosion.

Tinnitus, flames and flying dust, who cares about any investigation, what guards, it matters to flee for their lives first!

Alfie was even more shocked and flew several meters away, but after all, he was a well-trained knight, and immediately came back to his senses and shouted, "Assassin!

With that, he immediately drew his sword and led the guards to chase in the direction where the crossbow arrows were fired, and no one noticed the slightly raised corners of Alfie's mouth in the chaotic scene.

No wonder others, it was Lan Dumu who chose to die, if he obediently cooperated and showed his attitude and position, he could have lived, but unfortunately he chose the wrong one, as long as he caught this assassin of the 'Northern Ye Country', everything would be logical, Lord Capemir was right, the spoilers should die, Lan Dumu is very smart, but he is not wise enough.

The puppet disappeared in the flow of people, gently lowered the brim of his hat, seemed to be indifferent to what happened just now, and quickly left this place, Xiao Shu silently stared at the huge crater that was blown out not far away, chuckled, and took Butterfly's hand and left.

"Come with me, don't make a sound, don't resist, or I'll break your neck in a second. Ye Long gently put his hand on Yue Yong's shoulder, and whispered in her ear, he was too lazy to talk nonsense, many times violence is the fastest way to solve the problem.

......

An hour later, in the study of the Duke of Landau's mansion in Lomé, there was no light in the room, and two people sat opposite each other in the dark study.

"You just came back and 'died', you really have the ability, let me get the news of my death in the middle of the night, and then sneak in to stage the resurrection of the dead for me? Do you have to make me angry to death?" Duke Lando, wearing his coat, stared at his son who had not been home for several years.

"Father, is that how you welcomed me home? I was almost killed just now, and you don't care about me at all?" Lan Du Mu sat across from him with a big grin, still with a smile on his face, not caring at all about Duke Lan Du's increasingly ugly face.

"Is that how you talk to your father?"

Duke Landu had mixed feelings in his heart, he actually wanted to ask, did Lan Dumu eat dinner, whether he was hungry, whether he was injured, whether he had been doing all these years, but because of the majesty and face of a father, he really couldn't ask, his son was good at everything, but his personality was too weird, he was busy with official business, and he rarely talked seriously with Lan Dumu, so that now he feels a little strange.

"Almost, old man, I didn't come back this time to quarrel with you, tell me everything, what is the situation now, I heard Kao say that you are about to lose real power, and the Imperial Council has no place for you?"

Landu Mu slowed down his speech, he knew very well what this meant to his father, a duke was unable to participate in the Imperial Council, and all the affairs in his hands were taken over by the Capet family, and he was ostracized and isolated by other nobles, gradually moving away from the center of power, if he continued like this, it would not be long before the Landu family would exist in name only, and there would be no status at all, if it were not for this desperate situation, with his father's character, he would never bow his head and write to himself.

"I'm still a duke, but only the name of a duke, as you said, I don't have any real power now, the Imperial Council has long excluded me, everyone obeys that Mr. Xiu, you should understand, many times, right and wrong are not so important, the direction of the wind is the most important, the direction of the wind changes, naturally there will be a large group of people to follow, Capet, Auguste, Edward, Windsor. ”

Speaking of this, Duke Lando took a sip of tea and sighed, "Actually, it's much more than these families, let's put it this way, the Imperial Council has become a dispensable cutscene, alas, I shouldn't have let you come back, it's a dead end, it's the same for anyone." ”

"Father, you should know how to break the dead game, lift the opponent's chessboard, the dead game naturally does not exist, since the regime has no way to start, then find a breakthrough from other aspects, as far as I know, the reason why Mr. Xiu wants to provoke a war, its real purpose is for something called Soul Crystal, Soul Crystal is related to the new clan plan, which also involves an organization called Divine Presence, to tell you the truth, Mr. Xiu has died on the train, and now there is only one best way to solve the problem, find out the evidence of Mr. Xiu's cooperation with Divine Arrival, and make all this public, I believe Your Majesty will not be dizzy to this point。 ”

Lan Dumu believes that His Majesty is kept in the dark, and Mr. Xiu intends to use Nanyu Kingdom as a springboard to make soul crystals with war, so as to implement the new clan plan, and the ultimate beneficiary is definitely not Nanyu Kingdom, but Mr. Xiu and Shenlin, in other words, they don't care how much loss the war will bring to Nanyu Kingdom, as long as His Majesty is still sensible, he will definitely not start a war.

"Nonsense, if I could see Your Majesty, do you think I would still be sitting here?"

Duke Lando leaned back in his chair helplessly, he didn't even have a chance to go to the throne hall now, let alone see His Majesty, even the little girl who succeeded him to the throne of the duke he hadn't seen a few times, the current form was very clear and clear, His Majesty was nowhere to be found, everything was decided by the Capet family, and behind the Capet family was Mr. Xiu, and his own empty duke couldn't speak at all.

"So I told you a long time ago, there is nothing wrong with loyalty, but if you don't have your own forces, once this happens, you will have no power to return to heaven, the reason why the Capet family can control the situation is that they have strong enough family power, but you didn't listen to me at the beginning, and now I can only take extreme measures, since I can't find Your Majesty, then go and meet someone who can find Your Majesty and must have something to do with God's presence. ”

This is the worst-case scenario, but it was also expected by Lan Dumu, so he made preparations early in the morning, and specially staged this scene of fake death by the fog bridge, after all, it was the best opportunity to kill himself, and the idea he made in advance was not in vain, he was going to be killed in front of the Capemir family, only in this way could he divert Capemir's attention, and it was convenient for him to act secretly, since this situation had become a dead end, he simply broke the kettle.

"You mean...... Kapemir and the Moon Sect Pope?Impossible, you don't know Kapemir's strength, she reached the realm of soul transformation and spirit martial arts more than ten years ago, and no one can figure out how strong she is now, this woman can even kill her own brother, looking for her is no different from looking for death, as for the Moon Sect Pope, you don't even want to think about it, one-third of Nanyu's population is his followers, including guards and ministers, and moving him is also looking for death. Duke Landau shook his head.

"You don't have to worry about this, it won't be long before someone will come to you to inform you of my death, and name the murderer as an assassin from the Northern Leaf Kingdom, I hope you can cooperate in a play. Lan Dumu closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then continued, "You must show that you don't care about my life or death, and be disheartened, it is best to give the Capet family the illusion that you have lost your threat and usefulness, and then leave everything to me, this water is not enough to mix." ”

......

After leaving the study, Lan Dumu quietly came to his mother's door without alarming any servants, raised his hand several times to knock on the door but retracted it, the less people know the news that he is still alive, the better, the huge Duke's Palace, there are several people who are truly loyal, of course he is not suspicious of his mother, but if his mother learns that he is not dead, this scene is not real enough.

First of all, to ensure the safety of his father and mother, so that the Landu family is completely invisible, only in this way can he let go of his hands and feet, and his mind is determined, Lan Dumu came to the balcony on the second floor on the west side of the Duke's Mansion again, and slowly climbed down with an old yellowing rope, and there was a tall man standing below, he looked carefully from side to side, as if he was wary of something.

It was none other than Kao, who had just been killed by the explosion with Lan Dumu by the fog bridge, he helped Lan Dumu and jumped down, and said in a low voice, "Young master, I have already sent someone to find a good place, they have already gone first, let's go too." ”

"Kao, I must tell you in advance that for the next month, we will no longer be members of the Lando family, but a group of unidentified extremely dangerous people who could die at any time, if in the end we fail......"

"I won't fail, I have always believed in the young master, and please rest assured, whether it is for the Southern Jade Kingdom or for the Lando family, I, Kao, am willing to give everything for it, and from today on, this life is up to you." Kao said firmly.

"Kao, you should know my character, I hope you don't just say this for good, I also hate failure, so I will do whatever it takes, any means, any sacrifice, I don't care, I only care about the result, show loyalty to people like me, don't you mind? ”

Lan Du Mu had been staring into Kao's eyes when he said this, and he wanted to know if this knight who had been in the Lan Du family for decades was really as loyal as he said he was.

"Young Master, now is a special period, I understand your concerns, but I, Kao, have been loyal to the Lando family for thirty-seven years, and I have watched you grow up year after year, for me, the people of the Lando family are my relatives, no matter what the final outcome is, I will accompany the Lando family and accompany you to the end." Kao drew his steel sword, knelt down on one knee in front of Lan Du Mu, held the blade with both hands, and handed it to Lan Du Mu.

Lan Dumu gently grasped the hilt of the sword, his gaze suddenly became sharp, and he said coldly, "Okay, then let them know that my Nanyu Kingdom is not a place where anyone can act recklessly!"
