Promise sat up from the bed suddenly, cold sweat was dripping, the bandages on the wound were completely soaked, and his whole body ached as if he had been pricked by pins and needles.

“...... Storm's End?"

Promise calmed his mind for a moment, and remembered everything that had happened before, shouldn't he have been caught by Nash after Fang Ye's betrayal?

I endured the pain in my body and wanted to get up from the bed, but I didn't know that when I held it up, my shoulder hurt like a knife, my body tilted, my head hit the wall directly, and the whole person rolled off the bed, and the pain was even more black in front of my eyes, even so, he still gritted his teeth and stood up, his face was as pale as paper.

"Young master, when you wake up, shout, this injury is not healed so quickly. ”

The door opened, and when Luke walked in and saw this scene, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly put down the basin in his hand and stepped forward to support the promise.

"How long have I been asleep, and what's going on outside?"

Promise subconsciously broke free of Rook's hand, staggered to the window, opened the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight made him involuntarily squint his eyes, and he couldn't see the scene outside clearly.

"It's been half a month, since the news of Nalan's death spread, the Iron Guard has been in the hands of the queen herself, but there hasn't been much action since this time, Lord Nohe has already led the army across the White River, and he will be able to reach Sunset City tomorrow night, and within two days, he will be able to reach North Wind City. ”

Luke briefly talked about the recent situation, it sounded like good news, but the promise frowned, the Iron Guard didn't make any moves, this is impossible, why is the queen still able to calm down at this point, she has obviously reached a desperate situation, is there anything else she doesn't know?

"Master Rook, it's not that I doubt the loyalty of the defenders, it's just that he ...... in the night."

"I know, when the young man named Xiao Shu rescued you back, he told me everything, but young master, you can rest assured, I don't know why Fang Ye betrayed, but he alone can't represent the city defenders, otherwise you and I wouldn't be able to stand here and talk unharmed. ”

"Have you checked Fang Ye's family?"

"This is what I find strange, his wife and daughter are safe and sound, they don't even know that Fang Ye is dead, and he doesn't value fame and fortune, I really can't think of any reason for him to betray the Nuo family. ”

Luke was full of doubts in his heart, if Fang Ye's wife and daughter were missing, it could be understood that the other party was trying to blackmail him into betraying, but since they were safe and sound, Fang Ye's behavior was incomprehensible, he was an orphan, if it wasn't for Lord Nolan, he would have died a long time ago, let alone marry a wife and have children, no better than Hoy, an immature wild dog.

"Don't tell anyone about this yet, when Uncle Nohe arrives in the City of the North Wind, I will see how the Queen plans to end, and if she can't tell the truth, I won't give up." ”

Promise sneered, if it weren't for the queen's insistence, all this should have room for maneuver, but now it's too late to say anything, no matter what the truth is, he doesn't care anymore, and his mother will never come back to life.

"Young master, you probably don't know, recently it has been rumored all over the city that the queen is actually a prostitute, and Yue and Ziluo are not His Majesty's children......"

Promise was stunned for a moment, then stared at Luke and said, "What did you say?"

"After Nalan's death, his younger brother Nash inherited the duke's throne, but somehow he became crazy and full of gibberish, at first it was okay to just curse, but then when he saw people, he said that the queen was a prostitute, Yue and Ziluo were mongrels, and there was no right to inherit the throne, I don't know if there was evidence, but he should be unable to escape death. ”

Promise closed his eyes and thought about it, he didn't believe in Rook, he didn't believe that Nash dared to do this, to put it mildly, even if Nalan was killed by the queen, this person didn't care at all, he still happily inherited the position of duke, and there was no reason to offend the queen.

Nalan's death completely overturned the previous speculation of the promise, they thought that all this was planned by Nalan, and wanted to directly seize Nalan and force the whereabouts of Izuki and Ziluo to solve the misunderstanding, but now it seems that not only is it not Nalan, but even the queen is just a pawn that has been put on the surface.

If the identity of the queen's prostitute is true, and Nalan even has evidence, then she will never dare to take such a big risk to kill Nalan, in case of failure or the other party stays behind, it will be a fish to death and the net will be broken, and there is someone else who really plans all this, assassinating Ye Bei, blaming the Nuo family, assassinating Nalan, and restraining the queen.

The purpose of such a meticulous and crazy plan was to allow that fake moon to ascend to the throne, in this case, how could the other party ignore the army that the Nuo family was rushing to? Even if it occupies the dangerous terrain of North Wind City, it will become a dead city with no entry and exit under the siege of the regiments, what can it do if you inherit the throne?

"I must have overlooked something...... Fang Ye, why did he betray him...... By the way, what about Mr. Xiao? He must know something when he rescued me. The more I thought about it, the more uneasy I became.

"Young Master, your friends are all here, and if it weren't for their help these days, I would really be too busy by myself......" Luke sighed as he stopped talking.

"What do you want to say?"

"The queen can be so calm and relaxed, there must be a backhand, we blindly wait, I am afraid of variables, as long as the young master you order, the defenders can organize a counterattack, as long as they can control the various entrances of the North Wind City, Lord Nohe's army can enter the city smoothly, while the royal family is tired of coping, we can also send someone to quietly pick up Lord Nolan out, young master, you don't have to worry, the prison has always had our people. "Luke has been following the Nuo family for decades and has experienced countless battles large and small, and the situation in front of him seems to be peaceful, but it is difficult to feel at ease.

"You make me think about it...... Let me think about ......"

Promise didn't make a decision immediately, he had to think about the possible consequences of doing so, and how it would change the current situation, three times and twice being played with by others, made him lose his self-confidence, and Promise even doubted that any decision he made now was likely to fall into the hands of the other party and fall into another game that had already been set.

"Young master, since you hesitate, how can the other party be sure of your choice, a smart person thinks about his own troubles, and a wise man thinks about the opponent's troubles. ”

Rook's words made the promise wake up like a dream, and even he was still hesitating, no matter how powerful the other party was, how could he guess his next choice out of thin air, if it wasn't for the betrayal of Hoy and Fang Ye, he wouldn't have been led by the other party.

"Where's Mr. Xiao? I have something to ask him. ”

Inside the main hall of Storm's End.

Rose walked around with a heavy heart, she didn't expect things to develop to this point at all, fortunately Xiao Shu saved the promise back, Fang Ye also died, even so she was still in a panic, where did she experience this kind of thing, she didn't dare to go back to Lingwan again, for fear that someone would come to arrest her at any time.

"Teacher Rose, half a month has passed, Fang Ye is dead, and the promise has been saved, it is impossible for anyone to know our identity, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if someone knows, what can we do, as long as we stay in the Storm's Rest Castle, they can't attack it. Mo Qiunian didn't care about it at all, he made up his mind to fight the puppet to the end.

Mo Ling'er glared at Mo Qiunian fiercely, stepped forward and took Rose's hand and said, "Sister Rose, don't worry, if our identity is exposed, the other party will definitely make a big deal of it and put Nalan's death on the promise, since it's okay now, you can rest assured." ”

"Of course you don't care, but my family is still outside, and staying here won't help much anyway, since it's okay, I'll go back first." Rose broke free of Mo Ling'er's hand and walked out by herself, although the Storm's Rest was safe, the longer she stayed, the more uneasy she felt.

Mo Ling'er and Mo Qiunian looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Bang"

Rose walked out regardless of it, and collided with someone again without paying attention, but fortunately she was pulled by the man in time to not fall, but the glasses flew out.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was in too much of a hurry and didn't look at the road. Rose hurriedly apologized and crouched down to find her glasses, but the person in front of her had no intention of letting go.

"It's okay, I'll go back with you. Xiao Shu handed the glasses back to Rose, he still didn't understand why Rose was wearing them.

"Hmm. ”

Rose nodded, calmed down a little, but she still remembered her family in her heart, no matter how safe Storm's Rest Fort was, she couldn't stay, she didn't show up for half a month, so many things have happened in North Wind City recently, so it is reasonable to go back and report safety.

With Xiao Shu by her side, Mo Ling'er no longer persuaded Rose, after all, unlike herself, the family only had Mo Qiunian's younger brother left, and her parents and elders lived in North Wind City, and it was really unreasonable to not show up for more than half a month.

"Sister, do you say that Teacher Rose likes Xiao Shu? This attitude has become too fast. Mo Qiunian felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

"Why are you asking this, is it possible that you like Teacher Rose?" Mo Ling'er glanced at him.

"No, how is it possible, Teacher Rose is four or five years older than me, why don't I just ask casually. Mo Qiunian hurriedly denied it.

"Do you mean...... Do you like Xiao Shu!? No! This is absolutely not good, you had better give me this idea in the autumn year!"

Mo Ling'er stared at Mo Qiunian incredulously, and when she thought of what had happened before, she immediately vetoed it, how could this be worthy of the dead clansmen, wouldn't the Mo family be doomed!?

"What is this? Sister, where do you want to go, I asked casually, why are you so excited?"

"It's good if you don't have it, don't even think about it, it's normal for Teacher Rose to like Xiao Shu, first of all, people have to be good-looking, and secondly, their strength is unfathomable, and they have no relatives, but ......"

"But what?"

"Teacher Rose is young and beautiful, although sometimes she looks a little dull, but the flaws are not hidden, and there are many people chasing her, but you look at Xiao Shu, this person seems to have no feelings at all, for so long, I can't see love in his eyes, I can't see anything......"
