CHAPTER XXIV

Li Feng looked at the information sent back by Gray, and was a little surprised, but he didn't plan to do anything, although Charlotte did plan to fight hard directly according to the fatal point in his town, but, after all, he wanted to win the trust of the other party, and this was not a mistake, as long as there was intelligence coming over, if it was not a raid, no matter what he said on his side, he couldn't be beaten.

"The trade route defense line is ready, don't break it, prepare for the worst, if the trade route in the direction of the king is interrupted, we need the assistance of the four princes to increase the commercial trade in the direction of the empire. ”

Li Feng said, and Gray immediately conveyed the order.

When Debang returned to his fiefdom, he found a person sitting in his lord's hall, where he was carefully flipping through his books, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said, "Why did Your Excellency come to me?" ”

The man raised his head, and it was Charlotte, and said calmly, "Because, I have something for you to do." ”

The tone of Charlotte's order made the battle-hardened Debang a little displeased, but he didn't show it and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Here, there is a map of the guards of the main hall, and here is a relatively weak patrol point, sending people to assassinate His Highness Austin. Charlotte said.

"Huh?" Bond was surprised by such a request, and looked at Charlotte in surprise, not understanding her intentions.

"There is no doubt that I am not asking you to kill His Highness Austin, but to assassinate him. This road can indeed enter the core area, but this alone will not hurt His Highness Austin, but it can allow Gray to focus on here, so that I can move more conveniently. Charlotte said, then closing the book, "We can't let Gray do whatever he wants, or he will completely monitor our actions." ”

"Wait a minute, why did you choose me?" asked Debang, a little surprised.

"You have more dead in your hands. With that, Charlotte left.

Debang put one hand on his head, and laughed at Charlotte's distant back: "How well do you know us!"

Although Debang was laughing, there was no smile in his eyes. At least, it is very uncomfortable to let the other party know clearly your hole cards.

"Master?"

"Give this map to the killers who prepared it before, and let them kill Austin. Charlotte doesn't think we can do it, but things never go your way. ”

"Your Highness must be very distressed that he can't show his skills, at this time, it is the time to be irritable when the official document is reviewed, and a few people send it over to relieve pressure. Charlotte left Debang's residence, returned to the safe house she had set up outside, a hut hidden in the forest, and said with a smile, this road, but it was carefully designed by herself, the time and place, did not come out of her own control, of course, if they were willing to follow their own route, there was still a chance to meet His Highness, if they wanted to do something, I was afraid, even His Highness would not be able to see him.

Everything was as Charlotte expected, just when Li Feng was a little irritable, there was a sudden noise outside the main hall, and someone had invaded. In the chaos, a few black-clothed people came in, Li Feng held the broken space that did not leave his body, and said with some excitement: "Luck, I finally don't have to read these official documents." ”

Ding, Li Feng caught a sword stabbed by the other party, just stirred it with a break in the air, and then let the opponent's sword break inch by inch, and at the same time knocked it unconscious with an elbow, after a few moves, he had a general understanding of the opponent's skills, but Er'er, but, after all, the sword has no eyes, Li Feng did not relax his vigilance, but after all, he still couldn't do it if he wanted to kill himself, so the two sides were at a stalemate for a while.

The movement in the main hall quickly alarmed the guards, and soon a large number of guards came in and took down the Assassins. At this time, Gray appeared in a hurry, and when he saw that Li Feng was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and nodded to the guards, who left with the assassins, and the place quickly returned to its previous appearance.

"I was frightened today. Li Feng said calmly.

As soon as Li Feng's words came out, Gray broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, I will strengthen the guard ...... in the future."

"I don't need to do this, the main thing is that I don't want to review the official document today. ”

"Your Highness......" Gray knew that Li Feng was just joking with himself, and looked at Austin a little weakly, but this situation was indeed very dangerous, there were so many assassins mixed in here, and there was definitely an internal response, so he must check it out when he turned around.

"Okay, it's not dangerous, in this matter, it's okay to strengthen the patrol line, there's no need to invest too much energy in this, after all, you are dealing with those forces in the kingdom, Charlotte she went there, it's dangerous, so you pay more attention to where it is." ”

"Yes," Gray said, although Gray said so, but for the safety of His Highness, he will definitely not be negligent. After all, the days when he lost His Highness really make people feel uneasy to this day.

"Your Highness, I don't think this is a crisis, after all, Your Highness's current skills are already few opponents, and it is still quite interesting for His Highness to practice his hands in this way, so he will not let Gray focus on this area, but Gray will not let such a loophole go, so that Gray will put all his attention on me and His Highness Austin, and other aspects will be worse. Once the control goes down, those bandits will jump up, and the trade route will be blocked. Charlotte said, sitting across from the duke.

"Even if there is no trade route, it will only return to the previous state, where will it deal a heavy blow to Austin?"

"Didn't I say it before, 500 guns are produced every day, 3,000 during the war, and these 2,500 guns are used to produce other items, and the daily production is very large, except for the Xia Feng Chamber of Commerce, there is no local ability that can be digested, even if the warehouse can only store no more than three days of production, even if the thieves are disposed of, the trade route is open, it will take three months, so that within three months, the production and circulation of the town will stop, and the current established order will fall into crisis. Because, the population is just too much. ”

The Grand Duke did not understand why there was a crisis, there was too much production, so it was good to stop, just like the bourgeoisie would periodically break out into economic crises, while the feudal society would not, and this was caused by the peculiarities of the system.

Charlotte smiled and said, "After that, the Duke will witness." As for the trade routes, we try to block them as much as possible, but Your Highness, we will not be embarrassed. Because, he has another way out, to go to sea. ”

"Out to sea?"

"Yes, Karene has already completed the design and construction of the ship, and in general, it will take about four to five months before it goes to sea, but if there is a problem with the trade route, His Highness will do his best to build the ship, and in this case, it will be completed in a month, and as soon as the sea route is opened, our plan to block the trade route will be in vain. Charlotte said.

"I see, you want me to block the sea line, do you?"

"Yes, but, as a duke, you can't deal with His Highness's ship directly, and His Highness won't put your blockade in his eyes, if you dare to block, he will dare to hit it, but you can't do anything to Your Highness, at least on the bright side, so, from now on, I need pirates, enough pirates, so that Your Highness can have some scruples when going to sea. ”

"You mean to have my people dressed as pirates?"

"Do you really want to find pirates to do evil?" Charlotte said after glancing at the Duke, "Stopping His Highness from the sea is an important part of the plan, and I hope the Duke will not take it lightly." Even if it is impossible to prevent the descent to the sea, drag them at sea. ”

The duke smiled and said, "I can still do these things, it's not early, why don't you take a rest in my mansion?"

"I still need to go to the other Grand Duke to arrange matters, so there is no time to delay. After saying that, Charlotte was about to leave, and the Duke smiled lewdly and said.

"Don't be in a hurry, take a rest. The Duke said, and several men walked in outside the door. Blocking Charlotte's path, the Duke said, "Why ...... such a beautiful woman?"

Before the duke's words fell, several people blocking Charlotte's road looked at Charlotte in disbelief, their necks spurted blood mist, and none of them stuck to Charlotte's body, Charlotte said with disgust in her eyes: "This is the reason why I hate you, if it weren't for your usefulness, you'd be dead." Understood?"

The duke was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, so he spread it directly on the ground, and his lower body was wet, and he was scared to pee.

"Yes, yes. The duke hurriedly said.

"That's good. If, because you have ruined everyone's affairs, consider whether your already fat neck can continue to be connected. Charlotte said disdainfully and left.

It wasn't until Charlotte had left for a long time that the Duke slowly replied, with a haze in his eyes, "Stinky bitch, one day, you will regret your actions today." ”

"Who the hell could it be?" Gray investigated carefully, and did not find any suspicious person, the other party knows all the routes, this is not fully mastered except for himself, the route will change every month, so that the other party can find loopholes, there are not many such people.

Thinking of this, Gray actually already has a person who doubts in his heart, and what is impossible is the truth. Charlotte, may have really defected. When did it start? Or do you have other ideas, after all, you should go to see Charlotte and then make up your mind? Gray sighed secretly, and decided that it would be better to see Charlotte, after all, Charlotte's status is really high, especially with the intentional support of His Highness, in the months since His Highness disappeared, Charlotte has been the de facto leader, such a person, where can he casually doubt it.

Charlotte's safe house Gray also knew where it was, so Gray quickly found Charlotte, who was in the hut, flipping through the books she had gotten from Li Feng, and said, "You shouldn't have come." Obviously, my actions are suspicious, but they still have to come and confront me, which is not good. ”

In fact, when Gray heard Charlotte's first words, he knew that Charlotte had really rebelled and was in danger. Turn around and leave quickly, as long as there is a momentary opportunity, you can release the flare, and the arranged manpower can bring the news of Charlotte's rebellion to His Highness.

"Actually, there is no need, after all, if you can't go back here, the people you arranged will also bring the news back, and Your Highness, you will deal with the worst outcome. Charlotte said as she appeared behind Gray.

Gray elbowed Charlotte behind him, Charlotte blocked it with a palm, swept his foot, Gray's body shook, but immediately stabilized his body, raised his hand at the same time, and swung his fist, trying to force Charlotte away, but the gap in his body made Gray have no ability to fight back at all, so he was knocked down,

After being imprisoned in the dungeon, Gray asked loudly, "Charlotte, why did you betray Your Highness?" ”

"I, why can't I betray?" Charlotte asked, smiling and looking at Gray.

"This ......"

"Counting, although His Highness saved me, but I arranged enough backhands that time, so it seems dangerous, but even if Hawthorn makes a move, I don't have any danger. I have entrusted me with a heavy responsibility, and I will do my best to repay it, although Your Highness is talented, but, the town has today, I have half of it exclusively, this, it's not too much, right?" Charlotte asked, Gray was silent, indeed, Charlotte didn't say too much, this is also the reason why everyone obeyed Charlotte's dispatch after His Highness disappeared, and seeing Gray's silence, he continued, "Actually, these things, like Your Highness, don't care about anything special, Karen, she really likes to study, but I, I don't really like these things I have now." Although it was enough to just be by His Highness's side, it was really a little unhappy to see him worry about other women. ”

“......”

"I thought it didn't matter, but it seems that my personal cultivation is still not enough, so you can stay here until the game between me and His Highness is decided. ”

"Your Highness, I will be waiting for you. "He'll worry you, too." ”
