Chapter 217 Wait a minute
As soon as David took off, the smile on Ilea's face disappeared immediately, and she said angrily, "Did you see that guy's face just now? How could he be so shameless, saying that using me as bait was for protection? Me!
"If we had really gone to see the people from Hells, we might have been beaten by him by now!"
Li Yu said, "These nobles are like this. You must be extremely careful when dealing with them. In fact, you did the right thing. You didn't act rashly before I came."
Ilea fell into deep thought after hearing this, and spoke after a moment.
"Are you praising me for being reliable, or are you saying that I am stupider than other nobles... Also, it's not that I didn't act rashly, it's that I didn't even notice that Hells was secretly contacting me.
"Having said that, do you really think Hells is innocent? But didn't he just have a quarrel with my father before he died?"
"A quarrel does not mean killing," Li Yu said. "I don't know what kind of dispute Huls had with your father. I can't be sure for the time being who is the real murderer of your father between him and David. But from the Canadian Judging from Bailie's death, David is obviously more suspicious.
"But Hells and the Second Son Alliance are definitely not cheap. You'd better not believe everything they say. The reason why Hells took the risk to contact you must have an agenda. Maybe he is here tonight. Use you to test whether your subordinates have been exposed.”
"Trying the lives of your men?" Miss Rabbit took a breath, "Is it so cruel?"
"This is a war between David and Hells. Whoever loses will have an abyss of destruction waiting for them, so they will definitely act with extreme ruthlessness and caution." Li Yu said.
"If it weren't for finding the murderer of my father, I wouldn't bother to care who wins and who loses between the two brothers."
The girl rubbed her forehead and said, "Now that Gabriel is dead, the only person who knows the truth should be Carloman. No, then wouldn't the murderer's next target be Carloman?!"
"That's what it looks like so far."
"Oops! David sent a messenger to find Carloman. Maybe the messenger will kill Carloman on the way. If Carloman dies, there will really be no evidence." Miss Rabbit had a headache.
After what happened tonight, she realized that David might have a problem, but it was difficult to remedy it at this time.
David's people have been gone for two days, and they are expected to arrive at Acorn Castle early tomorrow morning at the earliest. Even if Ilea sends people now, there is no way they can catch up.
However, what happened next took everyone by surprise.
Sir Carloman has been missing for nine days. According to his family, he took his attendants to hunt in the forest on the day of the incident. However, they did not return until the sun went down.
After that, his family sent a large number of men and guards to search the entire forest, but only found Sir Carloman's horse and his helmet.
The helmet was still stained with some blood, and there were many signs of wild boar activity nearby.
The Weir family has been quarreling over this matter these days. Some people feel that something unexpected has happened to Sir Carloman and another family head should be chosen. Others firmly believe that Carloman is still alive and will continue to search for him and his family. Attendant...
It should be a big deal if the head of a family is alive or dead. However, during this period, too many important people have died in the Western Region. In addition, the Weir family itself is just a small noble with no corners, and is even more powerful than the Arias family. If we were weak, this matter would not be spread.
It was not until the envoys sent by David went to Acorn Castle that the details were learned.
Then the acting head of the Figuerola family convened important figures in the city to discuss the follow-up solution. Since Ilea was directly related to this matter, she was also invited to participate in this meeting.
David first asked everyone's opinions as usual. After pondering for a moment, he already knew what he was thinking. He said, "As an accomplice of Hells, Carloman should have been notified by Hells and escaped in advance after the incident was exposed." , or simply hide in the castle.
"We can consider sending troops to surround Acorn Castle and force Hells to show up. No matter how cold-blooded a person is, he will not leave his family alone."
"Objection!" Miss Rabbit said without hesitation.
David was not angry and turned around and said, "I wonder what Miss Ilea has to say?"
"Uh..." Although the girl was suspicious of David, she didn't have conclusive evidence, and she couldn't directly say that I think you want to kill someone to silence him. However, she quickly came up with an idea and found an excuse.
"We are still not sure about the relationship between Carloman and Hells, so it would be a bit awkward to surround Acorn Castle like this."
Romero was a little surprised when he heard this, "I thought Miss Ilea would be the most active in this matter. After all, the previous accident may not have been an accident. Carloman may have deliberately murdered your father." < br>
"I really want to find the murderer, but I don't want to wrongly accuse any good person." The female lead was serious.
Romero praised, "Miss Ilea is indeed of high moral character and is indeed a role model for our generation."
David didn't take it seriously, "Then don't send the army. Send an envoy to the Weir family to explain the matter to them. Tell them that if they find Carloman, let him come to Yanxue City for investigation."
"Wait." The girl interrupted him again.
Miss Rabbit suddenly remembered that retreating in order to advance, pointing here and there was also a unique skill of the acting head of the Figuerola family. David had always been a staunch dragon slayer before, and this was something Ilea never doubted from the beginning to the end. His reasons.
In addition, later David used her as bait to catch Hulls in the same way. He did one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes. Miss Rabbit now seriously suspected that this guy was doing it again. He first made a suggestion and waited for her to object, but the real purpose was In order to promote the next proposal.
If Carloman was really David's accomplice, David probably didn't want to push him too hard because he failed to kill him immediately.
Should we still choose to siege Fort Acorn?
Miss Rabbit was about to regret it, but she suddenly thought, what if Carloman had been killed by David? People like David definitely don't like to leave hidden dangers for themselves. Carloman has been missing for five days, maybe David had already taken the initiative.
Another siege would give Carloman a "reasonable" reason to die in battle.
Ilea just feels tired now, damn...this group of people who are playing tricks have too many ideas, and it feels like there is a problem no matter what choice they make.
In the end, the girl simply gritted her teeth and said, "Let's wait a little longer."
"Wait, wait for what?"
"Wait for the prophet Merlin to find Carloman through the oracle." (End of this chapter)
