Early in the morning, before Ou Ze could get up and have breakfast, the adjutant walked in with an anxious look on his face. It was obvious that something had happened. From the looks of it, it was probably not a good thing.
Ou Ze felt a sudden change in his heart.
The adjutant approached Ou Ze and lowered his voice as much as possible and said:
"Early this morning, several soldiers guarding James found that James was dead."
"Damn it, what happened? Take me to see it."
Ou Ze didn't care about breakfast, and immediately walked with his adjutant to the place where James was previously imprisoned. James was actually insignificant, but as a direct descendant of the Lanster family, he was recognized by the kingdom and all parties in the past.
The Marquis of Earth should not have died in such an inexplicable way, let alone under the control of Ou Ze.
"Who was here last night?"
Ou Ze has arrived at the room where James died. The body has not been moved to protect clues. The clothes of the body are very neat, and there is no pain on the face. If it is not breathing, it will make people think that it is just sleeping.
Already.
"Master Andrzej from the Lanster family came last night."
The person in charge of guarding was now disarmed and treated as a half-suspect. Faced with Ou Ze's questions, his voice was trembling when he answered. He himself also knew that this basket was a bit big.
Already.
"What is he here for?"
"He said he came to visit and give Lord James some food."
"Didn't I say that no one is allowed to approach James without my order?"
When Ou Ze heard this, he felt that there was something fishy about this. It was an open secret that the remaining brothers in the Lanster family, except for their deceased brother Weru, had a bad relationship.
An Jieyi was humiliated when he failed to ask for power from Lin Te. His face was so swollen that Sander next to Lin Te was sore. When James took over, he became more active and wanted to do something, but he was also beaten by James.
Jim was perfunctory and said many strange things behind his back. Based on their relationship, James was detained for only one night, and Andrzej came to visit and gave him food. The problem here was too big.
"Master Ou Ze, Anjie came with your warrant, otherwise we wouldn't dare..."
"I mean anyone!"
Ou Ze couldn't remember what warrant he had issued to Andrzej. With his own warrant, Andrzej had given James food, which made him so suspicious.
"Go and bring Master Anjie here!"
"yes!"
"Also, please escort these idiots to me."
When something like this happened, it was a good thing that Ou Ze didn't execute a few people on the spot. Several soldiers in charge of the guard didn't even dare to say a word and were taken down honestly.
Soon Anjie, the third young master of the Lanster family, was brought to Ou Ze. Originally, except for James, Ou Ze was quite polite to the rest of the Lanster family. After all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. This matter
In the final analysis, it is just an internal struggle within the Lanster family, and he just wants to gain the maximum benefit from this struggle.
But now that James is dead, Ou Ze is in trouble, so he doesn't want to be polite to An Jie, and brings An Jie up like a prisoner.
"What are you doing! Let go!"
Andrzej was still struggling, as if he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter.
When he saw James' corpse, he was slightly happy at first, and then he forced himself to show a sad look and started crying in front of James' corpse, but his acting was really awkward.
"Okay, Master Andrzej, you were the one who impersonated my warrant and poisoned James. Stop pretending."
Ou Ze, who really couldn't stand it anymore, directly interrupted Andrzej's play. Although he didn't know where Andrzej got this rare poison, no matter how he analyzed it, the murderer could almost only be Andrzej.
On the other hand, Andrzej refused to admit it and wanted to hold Ouze responsible. In Ouze's eyes, he looked like a clown. No wonder he was the least effective among the sons of Marquis Wade.
"Take him down and make sure nothing happens again this time."
"boom!"
"Yes, Lord Legion Commander!"
Ou Ze waved his hand and motioned with some disgust to his men to take An Jieyi down. After looking at An Jieyi's performance and thinking for a while, Ou Ze probably figured out the whole story. This idiot was used as a weapon by the elders.
.
Some people are still thinking about the position of Marquis. If he observes correctly, Anjie has also entered the knight rank at some point. At this moment, he is still hiding his own strength and imagining that James is dead.
In the future, he will inherit the Lanster family's title. And with Andrzej's ability, he will definitely not be able to get his warrant. There are probably people from the Council of Elders instigating him, so it won't be his turn anyway.
It's up to him, the murderer who poisoned James, to inherit this title.
A real fool and a bunch of old guys who are either smart or blinded by profit.
Ou Ze thought bitterly, he didn't want to care about how these people plotted against his own people, but implicating him in it made him very unhappy. However, Ou Ze did not show off such small actions that could not affect the overall situation.
Under the tacit understanding of several parties, James' death caused basically no big noise. Time passed like this day by day until the four dragons of the Hunter family appeared in the sky above Piaoxue City.
Before seeing the army, he saw the giant dragon first. This was a shock arranged by Richard in advance. With Lin Te here, Richard knew clearly that Piaoxue City had no means to effectively deal with the dragon. The four giant dragons boldly
It flew around the city wall at low altitude, announcing Richard's arrival.
The gates of Piaoxue City have now been opened. In order to show their sincerity, the soldiers lined up did not even bring weapons. Ou Ze and the remaining veteran army commanders stood at the door, looking at the giant dragon that had been hovering at low altitude.
I couldn't help but hold my breath.
Although I know that the terms between the two parties have been negotiated and these dragons should not attack, I think that if I take a breath of dragon breath, I will be killed immediately. This kind of life and death is in the hands of others. It is really not a good feeling, especially when they
These are people who have been in power for a while.
However, the four giant dragons had no intention of taking care of their mood. They followed Richard's orders and continued to fly over Piaoxue City, making the entire city feel the majesty of the giant dragons.
However, no matter how nervous I feel, I have to cheer up now, because the outline of the Hunter family's ground army has gradually emerged in the distance.
"Lord Richard!"
"Piaoxue City welcomes you."
Soon, the Hunter family's army had arrived at the main gate of Piaoxue City. The Silver Wing Legion troops had taken over this section of the city wall under the leadership of several flag captains. They only sent a signal to the rear team after there was no danger.
, allowing Richard Lint and others to approach the city gate in a swaggering manner.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be searched by the people of the Silver Wing Legion, as soon as Richard arrived, these people still had smiles on their faces and said some unintentional words.
If you really want to welcome Richard, it would be a shame. Piaoxue City is no better than other small nobles. If Richard doesn't come, they will be local tyrants. James's authority is limited, although the entire Lanster family is squeezed by the Hunter family.
Although they are not angry, these high-level officials can live a very comfortable life. Now that a hero like Richard is sitting on the head, how can they not be as comfortable as they usually close the door and act as the master.
However, everyone is a human being. Apart from James' irascible personality, he still understands how to be flexible and flexible. The group of people greeted each other with smiles, and Richard was given some face. The people from the Silver Wings came to sing the shameless part, so it was his turn to do so.
Singing a red face.
He took the initiative to dismount and greeted several representatives of Piaoxue City at this time. Amidst the compliments of everyone, he led the army into the city. Looking at this posture, those who didn't know thought it was the army of Piaoxue City returning from victory.
Arrive to welcome you.
…
"Go and control the four city gates first, collect the weapons of soldiers from several legions, and wait for the next step of selection."
"Public order in the city is maintained. Anyone who dares to cause trouble at this time will be executed on the spot."
"yes!"
Lin Te did not go to the Marquis Mansion to attend any banquet with everyone first. He had a more important responsibility, which was to assist Rhodes and basically control the city...
