The Betrayer: Puppet Chapter
In the dim light, Promise sat alone in his father's bedroom, staring blankly at Nolan's armor on the wooden frame, he also knew that his mother's decision was not wrong, but if he really wanted to provoke civil strife, he might be in the hands of the other party.
The Nuo family and his mother's Lejia are both important princes in the Northern Ye Kingdom, sitting on many main city fiefdoms, and countless vassals under their command, if they really have disputes with the royal Ye family, it will be impossible to end the war for a while and a half, which will inevitably cause turmoil in the Northern Ye Kingdom.
But what else can be done about it?
My father is still in prison, and I don't know what kind of torture he is subjected to at this moment.
I can't figure out how the promise is, even if Yue and Ziluo are dropped, but the queen is never fake, why doesn't she trust the Nuo family? If Ye Bei ascended the throne without the support of the Nuo family, how could it be so smooth, those families who were already dissatisfied with him did not rely on their mouths to persuade them, it was their Nuo family who came forward and killed them again and again.
Maybe tomorrow the Duke of Nalan will come with the Iron Guard, as long as the defenders can last for a month, and when Hoy delivers the letter, Uncle Nohe and his grandfather will inevitably lead the army north and head straight to the North Wind City, and at that time, no matter how powerful the royal Ye family is, it will not be easy to settle the alliance of the two families.
Why did the queen provoke a civil war without saying anything?
What's so good about that?
What role does Duke Nalan play in this?
The City of the North Wind is under martial law at the moment, can Hoy really send the letter out?
What would he do if it were a father?
A series of questions lingered in Promise's mind, but unfortunately the armor hanging on the shelf did not speak, only the night wind whined outside the window.
"No, it can't go on like this, I have to settle it before Hoy delivers the letter. ”
Nolan stood up suddenly, he couldn't let it go like this, as Nolan's eldest son, the principal of the Nuo family at this moment, he had the obligation to clear his father's name and avoid the occurrence of a civil war.
"Did you sleep with the promise?"
There was a knock on the door, and Promise opened the door to see that the person standing at the door was Hoy, but Promise also noticed one thing, the two letters he was holding in his hand were crooked, and there were splashed ink marks on the outside of the envelope.
"What's the matter with you?"
The promise subconsciously took a few steps back, thinking for a moment, the mother paid the most attention to the perception of the letter, there must be ink on the envelope, and the position of the ink must be the center of the envelope, how could it be knocked crookedly, and on weekdays, Hoydo called himself the young master, and the knot in his heart back then made him never recognize the identity of his adopted son, how can he ...... now
"It's nothing, before I leave, I came to see you, there are only you and Mrs. left in Storm's Rest Castle these days, although you are still young, but it is time to take the position of the principal, when I was as old as you, I had already gone into battle to kill the enemy. Hoy didn't seem to notice the strange look in Promise's eyes, and continued to talk to himself.
"These two letters ......"
"Don't worry, there are few people in North Wind City who know me, and the order I just gave today is too late, even if the city is closed, I will rush out overnight to deliver the letter, but don't worry too much, there are more than 50,000 defenders in the city, even if Lord Nolan is not there, it will not be so easy to rout." ”
Huo Yi smiled comfortingly as he got closer and closer to the promise, he really couldn't wait, he couldn't wait to see the scene of this young master's head falling to the ground and blood splattering, this day had really been waiting for too long.
"Don't come here!"
Promise stepped back sharply, pulled out the long sword on the side of the armor, and aimed it at Hoy, even a fool could see how twisted the smile on Hoy's face was.
"Young Master Promise, what are you doing, I just came to see you before leaving, is it so tense? Or do you Nuo family not trust me at all, too, after all, I am just a foreign dog in your eyes, what an adopted son, it sounds good, I am a hostage." ”
Hoy's eyes widened, and he didn't retreat a step towards the promise, the sharp blade of his sword immediately pierced his clothes, and blood flowed from his shoulder, but he still walked forward as if he didn't feel the pain, questioning.
"What the hell are you talking about?!" Promise's eyes gradually turned cold.
"What am I talking about!?hahaha, don't you really know? Nolan didn't tell you, how did my Huo family belong in the first place? It was him, your father, Duke Nolan, he killed my father with his own hands, and with a palm-wide giant sword, he cut off my father's neck in one fell swoop, I still remember that scene, the woman and the child covered their eyes, but I didn't, I looked at my father's dead head and rolled to my feet, and then those who were afraid of death began to advocate for belonging!? I became the adopted son of your Nuo family, and I have been a loyal dog for more than ten years!haha, don't you think it's ridiculous!?"
Hoy laughed wildly with a hideous face, he had endured it for so many years, he fell asleep in nightmares every night, and he had to pretend to be grateful to Dade the next day, and finally waited for this day, but unfortunately he couldn't kill Nolan with his own hands to take revenge, but it was also a wish, the Nuo family should have been destroyed a long time ago!
"You're crazy!?Father treats you like his own son, riding horses, archery, and leading the army are all taught by word and deed, and he even asked you if you want to go to Lingwan to learn a more perfect spiritual path because of his low level, is this how you repay our Nuo family?"
Promise felt that Huo Yi was completely unreasonable, the battle of pacification back then, it was their Huo family who stood on the wrong side, killing the head of the family was already the smallest price, this is no way, after so many years, the Nuo family treats him Huo Yi as his own, is it in exchange for a bite from a vicious dog?
"Yes, Duke Nolan treats me very well, but so what, is he my father? No, he was the executioner who killed my father, raised by his own enemies, do you know how uncomfortable I am? I was so uncomfortable that I wanted to die every day in the first few days of my arrival! But I can't, I want to witness the destruction of your Nolan family, I want to kill you one by one, cut off your heads, chop them into meat sauce and feed them to the dogs, maybe then my father will be blind, so that I won't dream of his bloody head every night when I close my eyes. ”
The more Huo Yi spoke, the more he laughed, the more arrogant he became, as soon as he heard the queen's order, he almost laughed on the spot, he had been suppressed for so many years, what he was waiting for was today, no, in fact, it was not today, the other party did not give him this order, but he couldn't wait, even if it was his own opinion, he had to finish everything tonight.
"Who the hell is it?"
Promise is full of grief and indignation in his heart, his mother's life and death are uncertain now, why didn't he detect this immature vicious dog earlier, who is behind all this?
"Guess, haha, young master promise, aren't you very smart? I have time for you to guess slowly. ”
Huo Yi smiled cruelly, taking advantage of the distraction of the promise, he snatched the blade of the sword against the shoulder, and put his backhand on the neck of the promise, dealing with this kind of noble young master, for him it was just a gesture, revenge was just raising his hand, he was not in a hurry, compared to killing the other party with a sword, he was more willing to appreciate the fear and fear of the other party before death.
"Do you think I don't know? Xiao Shu told me that all this was instructed by Duke Nalan. ”
Promise said in a deep voice, not only did he not show half of the fear, but became calm, at this time it is useless to be anxious and afraid, only to calm down, maybe you can also find out the truth.
The fleeting doubts were seen in the eyes of the promise, Huo Yi didn't know Xiao Shu, it seemed that this matter had fallen into multiple deceptions from the beginning, maybe because Xiao Shu found out the truth, and the other party didn't know what method was used to lead away the real Xiao Shu, just as they replaced Yue and Ziluo, disguised themselves as Xiao Shu's appearance, entered their sight, and took advantage of their own suspicions to turn the spearhead of the Nuo family to Xiao Shu, thus ignoring the real key.
After all, Xiao Shu is a spiritual master, and there is a presence behind him, not that he can kill him, so the other party used the pressure of the royal family to force himself to immediately make a decision to arrest Xiao Shu and force him to extract a confession, it seems that only in this way can he avoid the civil war and wash away his father's grievances, if it weren't for Huo Yi's actions, he would really have led the army to arrest Xiao Shu immediately.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Xiao Shu is, it is impossible to defeat the 50,000 defenders of the city, and when the time comes, Huo Yi will hand over the two letters in his hand to the royal family, and at the same time confirm the rebellion of the Nuo family, not only killing Xiao Shu, an insider, but also eradicating the Nuo family with the help of the royal family, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone, and the biggest profit from it is Duke Nalan.
The promise made everything clear in his mind, and Hoy's move became a breakthrough in the mystery, if this person was a promise, he would choose to flee from the North Wind City directly, and from then on incognito.
It's a pity that hatred overwhelmed Hoy, and he was too desperate for revenge to see that far.
"I really want to split your little head to see what's inside, that's right, it doesn't hurt to tell you, Duke Nalan promised me, as long as I am willing to help him, it will be a matter of time before your Nuo family will fall, as for what you said Xiao Shu, don't worry, we will find him, and he won't be able to escape when the time comes." Hoy sneered.
"Hahaha, alas, it's ridiculous. ”
Promise shook his head, calmly pulled over the chair next to him and sat down, at this time he was not in a hurry at all, people like Hoy were not enough to make him afraid.
"When death is on the verge of death, you can still laugh, you really deserve to be Nolan's eldest son, in the same vein, the veins are full of ice water, tonight I killed your mother and son, tomorrow when Duke Nalan arrives, I only need to publish the content of the letter, your Nolan family will be completely removed, when the time comes, I will find a good position in the stands, watching Lord Nolan be hanged, just as I watched my father beheaded, it will definitely be very interesting." Hoy raised his sword in his hand, forcing Promise to look at him.
"Do you know what I'm laughing at? I laugh at myself for being stupid and at you for being stupid. Nolan said indifferently.
