"My lord, it's a nobleman from Sonde!" Hukochili walked over with his feet on the gravel on the ground, and beside him, several murderous guards escorted the middle-aged nobleman who was a little frightened

"I just want to find a safe place to rest, I'm not a bad person, I can pay for it!" The middle-aged nobleman was obviously a little frightened, and explained to the guard behind him, the guard didn't care about him so much, he directly lifted him from the ground and slammed him on the ground, "Don't hurt me, I'm really malicious!"

The middle-aged nobleman lay on the ground and begged for mercy, the broken grass all over the ground was stained on his somewhat pale face, and he was wearing the breasted shirt that was habitually woven alternately by the nobles of the Sonde, with the golden trim of the high-ranking nobles embroidered on his sleeves, and a long yellow curly hat rolled to the side

"The Sonders?"

Seeing this scene, the fat man's eyebrows frowned slightly, although he had never been to the Northwest Coast, but with the rise of trade on the Northwest Coast, the figures of other merchants and nobles in the Northwest Regions also appeared on the Northwest Coast from time to time, among which the Denia and Desende regions were the most, compared to the usual rigor and unsmiling of the Denia people, it was completely different from the neighboring Desenders, who were generally more talkative, and liked to shout in the taverns, and often regarded themselves as natives of the Northwest.

"Yes, this lord is right, I am from the Sonde!"

Hearing the voice of the fat man, the nobleman nodded hurriedly, he didn't expect that the adults in the mouth of this group of fierce men turned out to be a young man with a somewhat naïve appearance, in addition to being overjoyed, he quickly took out a certificate from his bosom to prove his identity, and raised it with his hand, "This is the certificate that the Duchy of Ruosende gave me to cross the border, and there is also the signature of your country on it, which can prove that I am not telling lies"

The fat man didn't care about any proof, he walked over from the opposite side and crouched down. With the wooden stick in his hand just now, he picked up the face of the nobleman and looked at it, under the light of the bonfire, the hair of the middle-aged nobleman was the signature perm of the Northwest nobleman, like a watermelon peel upside down on the head, although the wolf was thrown to the ground, the hair still did not know how to measure, "It has obviously been combed with egg white, in this era, except for the nobles who are stupid and have a lot of money." Ordinary people would not be willing to spend such unjust money" The corner of the fat man's mouth grinned slightly, it was boring, he was really a nobleman, and the fat man gestured to the guard

"Lift him up!"

Hearing the order of His Majesty the Falcon, the two stout guards forcefully pulled the middle-aged nobleman up from the ground like a dead dog,

"I'm sorry, I hope it didn't hurt you! It's always better to be cautious when you're traveling at night" The fat man made a gesture to the middle-aged man to sit down,

"It doesn't matter. Reckless late at night, I can understand it!" The middle-aged nobleman moved his injured limbs and smiled bitterly at the fat man, "My name is Angelio, the squire officer of the Marquis of Sbury, the lord of the county of Desbina. This time I was escorting my wife and young lady to Xinhai City, and the road was blocked in front of me, so I had to stop, and there were only so many places to camp. The rest of the places were already packed, only here was some open space, I really didn't know that this was an adult's camp!" "Madame and Miss, you mean that carriage ......" The fat man pointed with a wooden stick to the carriage from which the middle-aged nobleman had just come down

"Adults can rest assured. If it's not convenient, they can rest in the carriage" Angelio nodded by default, his eyes subconsciously glanced at the murderous guards not far away, and suddenly lowered his voice and said

"My lord, if it's me. I would never choose such a supporter as a guard."

"Oh. Why?" the fat man was stunned for a moment

"With all due respect, I can feel it, most of them have killed people, they have blood on their hands, and they are not the kind of one or two people!" Angelio's face was stern, and the words he said almost made the fat man faint with laughter,

The fat man wanted to say that these guys had indeed killed people, but they didn't kill people, so what did he take them for! This Ronsende man is really like the legend, not an ordinary extroverted character, and he actually said bad things about his subordinates in front of him, or maybe he was too good-looking

Angelio saw the corners of the fat man's eyebrows twitching slightly, with an expression of wanting to smile, and because the young man in front of him was the first brother to lead a caravan for the first time, he hurriedly said bitterly" I know this reason sounds a little funny, but it is definitely worth noting, in our city of Rose, there have been several recent cases of the murder of employers in the middle of the process, and among them was a man I knew, Lord Edley, the treasurer of Binashire, who had hired a team of mercenaries ten days ago to escort the quarter's tax money to the capital, and no one had seen him since he left the county, until three days ago, when someone found his body cut into six pieces in the Anli Forest, twenty miles outside the capital, and the tax money and the mercenaries were gone！

Angelio's voice stopped, and his face was a little gloomy, "It is precisely because of this incident that the capital suspects that the Marquis of Sbury is guarding and stealing, in fact, the tax itself is not important, but the time when this incident appeared is too wrong, His Royal Highness Locke, the heir of the principality, has just returned from Kyoto, and the lord of the county guard specially collected an extra one-third of the tax and sent it over, just to curry favor with the future Duke, "Coming back from Imperial Kyoto?"

The corners of the fat man's smiling mouth froze suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, ten days ago, it was really a coincidence

"His Royal Highness Locke's mother's mother is the wealthy family of Kyoto, and since the age of six, His Royal Highness Locke has been with his mother to Kyoto," Angelio said in a deep voice Everyone knows that the Duke was in April because of a typhoid fever, and his health has become more and more deteriorating, and at this time, the recall of His Royal Highness Locke from Kyoto University is actually already arranging the future of the principality, but there is such an incident in Bina County, which is undoubtedly a humiliation for Young Master Locke, and the Lord is afraid of accidents, so he arranged for both the lady and the woman to come to Xinhai City on the northwest coast. The fat man picked the fire with a stick, the imperial council in Gallic Kyoto was held ten days ago, at the meeting, the decision of the Gaul emperor to set up the Northwest Governor has been issued, although the candidate has not yet been announced, but the sending of people to intervene in the heart of the northwest has been clear,

The fat man once thought that if the Gauls wanted to meddle in the affairs of the northwest in the name of the governor of the northwest. It is necessary to have a foothold that is sufficient to support,

Since the original agreement, the northwest has formed a clear situation of division between the north and the south, with the northwest coast as the head in the north, and in the southwest of the northwest, led by Denia and Rosend, and he still believes that the core of the future control of the northwest lies in Denia and Gosend, and the Gauls may not be unable to see this.

The Duke of Denia was upright and in the prime of life, and his body was strong. And the style of work is rigorous, the life is simple and regular, the command has a good combat power of 100,000 troops, and the relationship with the northwest coast is not bad, especially after the completion of the new sea city on the northwest coast, the connection between the Denia region and the northwest coast region is closer, as if a community of interests has been formed,

This is not the case with Rosend, which is an old powerhouse in the Northwest Territories. He has always regarded himself as the boss of the south, and in the face of the weak Julils family, he was also the first to raise the flag of rebellion, although the Duke of Rosender was already a sixty-year-old old man. The table is still ambitious, because it is inland, and it is more inclined to the side of the Gallic Empire in terms of power.

"It seems. The other party's layout has already been unfolded, but he doesn't know it at all!"

The fat man clenched his fingers into a fist and took a deep breath. It is conceivable that if it were not for the unexpected rise of Denia and the strong suppression of the northwest coast, this old man who wanted to become the lord of the northwest all his life might have launched a war against the northwest control of the northwest, and now with the support of Kyoto, the two sides are combined, if you want to choose an incision that can enter the northwest, you will undoubtedly take advantage of the time and place, no wonder the army of the country is moving more and more frequently on the border.

The sky was bright, the carriage on the road was finally towed, the road was clear, and a large number of caravans turned their wheels and continued to march in the direction of Xinhai City.

The sun shone on the ground from the leaves above his head, the breeze was blowing, the fat man took his red cloak from Hukochili's hand, and the guards sorted out their equipment, and with a pair of black guards armor, the murderous aura on the guards' bodies spread more and more,

Angelio, who had been lying by the fire not far away, realized that he had actually spent the night with a group of soldiers, he looked at this qiē in amazement, hesitated for a while, and then walked over with some embarrassment, touched his head and said to the fat man

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you were from the army, this lord, I hope you don't take your words to heart last night!" Angelio looked a little scared

"Last night's words? haha, I don't remember!"

The fat man smiled disapprovingly, turned over and got on the horse, the news brought by this Ronsende man was much more interesting than his joke, this is probably God's favor for himself, otherwise, this hand from Gallic Kyoto is really a little unexpected

"In that case, I don't know if this lord can let us accompany us all the way!" Angelio showed a trace of worry on his face, and looked in the direction of the carriage, there were two vague figures there, judging from the outfit, it should be a middle-aged lady and a young girl, "Of course you can, anyway, it will take at most half a day from here to Xinhai City! I'm not in a hurry."

The fat man readily agreed, in fact, he also saw that this attendant named Angelio was obviously hiding something,

If he hurriedly sent his wife and daughter to another country just because he was suspected, it is estimated that this county keeper is either delusional or timid.

And this attendant named Angelio, in fact, saw from the beginning that he was a member of the army, deliberately leaned over to camp together, deliberately asked to go on the road together, all actions were to cover up one thing, the carriage that refused to get down all night to rest, there was a secret that no one wanted to discover

The carriage followed closely behind the cavalry, and many caravans passing by looked at this strange combination curiously, secretly guessing that there must be some big man in this carriage escorted by the army, with the cavalry of the Guards in front and the carriage behind, "Angelio, do we have to be with these people? The middle-aged lady in the carriage poked out half of her head with an ugly face, with a hint of displeasure on her face, with blonde curly hair, delicate appearance, slightly blessed, but it did not affect her beauty, but showed a little more grace "Madam, with them, at least we don't have to worry about those who follow us!"

Angelio, riding on a black horse, leaned over and whispered, "As far as I know, the army of the northwest coast is very high in status. In some cases, they can even directly kill the people who offend them, unless those people eat the bear's heart and leopard gall and run out to stop them, otherwise, they can only watch us enter Xinhai City safely, as long as they board the boat on the dock to the other side of the sea, even the most outstanding pursuit team will have nothing to do with His Highness! Otherwise, the sacrifice that the Duke left alone as bait will be in vain" "Yes, those who followed His Highness Locke from Kyoto are too vicious. They accused the Duke, and even His Highness wanted to kill him, I really didn't expect that His Highness Locke would be so mad that he wanted to kill his father and younger brother!" the middle-aged lady remembered the situation that day, and said in a low voice with a slightly pale face

Angelio glanced into the carriage, and a girl in a bright yellow dress was lying on the table in the carriage, as if she was too tired and had fallen into a deep sleep, but she was only seven or eight years old. If it weren't for the two of them calling His Royal Highness, who would have thought that this was a boy, "the younger half-brother, although cruel." But it's not uncommon!If it weren't for the pursuit team following too closely, we wouldn't need to let His Highness disguise himself as a man!Although he came from a prominent background, there was no one left except me, a servant, and a poor man, you,' Angelio smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Entered Xinhai City." Just according to the plan, the Duke has already arranged it, at least to ensure that His Highness reaches the other side of the sea alive!"

"What about you, will you come with us?" the middle-aged lady looked at him with an eager face. There was a bit of trilling in his voice

"I can't go, you know, these people have sharp noses, I do my duty as a servant, lead them around the city!" Angelio looked indifferent, as if he had already expected it, "until they found out they had been fooled, and then cut my throat"

"Don't you just want to live like this?" still remember the ...... back then" The middle-aged lady's complaining eyes were like a ball of blue water

"Why do you want to live? you need a reason to live!" Angelio looked away, avoiding the middle-aged lady's gaze, and looked into the distance in a daze, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes

"I don't remember what happened, but you know, my family was secretly executed by those men on the night they escaped, and my wife and three-year-old son were reduced to ashes in that fire.

"My only hope now is to watch you leave this land of right and wrong with Your Highness.

In fact, I should feel glad that if the marriage contract of the year is still the same, the person who died three days ago is you and our son, and now, at least we have the memory of being alone for three days, and we are dead! It's better than living in endless thoughts in the next life" "Angelio ......" The middle-aged lady finally chose to be silent, the past is like smoke, and it is unbearable to look back, if the fat man sees this scene, he will remember that there is a report sent by the assassin about the Duke of Sonde,

Locksdie, the most favored youngest son of the Duke of Rosend, because the first wife held the identity of the wealthy family of Kyoto, could not continue to stay in the remote area of the northwest, twenty-one years ago, he took his son to Kyoto alone, putting on a posture of old and dead, Duke Rosend's heart was like ashes, and he was devoted to the hegemony of the northwest, until he was fifty-four years old, and only a second son was born by a noble waiter, from the day of birth, Duke Roseend announced that this son was the heir of the Principality of Roseend.

It seems that in the dark, the wheel of fate in the northwest began to spin faster,

The fat man deliberately slowed down on the sixth downhill in front, and he had already noticed that behind the slow-moving horse team, a team of a dozen people was also following, and at the same time slowing down, and this group of people appeared an hour ago

The leader of the team was a young man with a grim face, wearing white chain mail with delicate patterns, a white cloak hanging behind him, and the war horse under his crotch was obviously more expensive than the horses used in ordinary caravans.

Their gaze never left the carriage in front of them, this kind of gaze that the fat man had ever seen, it was the gaze of the murderer, "It seems, this is the real secret!"

The fat man made a ready gesture to Hukochili, who nodded him with understanding, and the fifty cavalry guards divided into two groups, the front and the rear, broke away from the ranks, and the horses' hooves raised the fresh earth on the ground, and galloped forward

The first 2 miles are Xinhai City, and the first mile has a section of road through the forest area, unless the other party doesn't do it, if it does, it must be the forest!"My lord, let's do it, there are still 2 miles to the range of Xinhai City!" "In the back, a burly strong man rode up and said in the young man's ear, "That's a populated area, as long as the other party gets on the boat, we will have no chance to do it" "Zia, are you crazy, there are soldiers in front, if you attack, do you know what the consequences will be!" We'll be chopped to pieces!"

A young woman with a black hood next to the young man said, dressed in a bewitching yellow skirt, with a blooming purple flower letter mark on the saddle, and hanging on it was a curved bow that could be called a work of art, the shape of the bow handle was as attractive as her graceful figure, "No hurry, there is a forest in front of you!" The young man who took the lead spewed out a sentence coldly (to be continued......
