Chapter 905: The Plan of the Royal Family and the Nobles, Archduke Langton’s Replacement Flanders
“I...didn’t I die on the hanging?” Flanders opened his eyes with confusion on his expression.
He learned that he was going to be hanged because of his crime, and was then thrown into death row and tortured for three months, and finally hanged on a torture device.
As a result, when he opened his eyes, he was not dead.
Of course, compared to the fact that he was not dead, what worried him more was that his beloved Princess Lena died due to love.
While on death row, Flanders heard the news of Princess Lena's death. In his opinion, it was Princess Lena who died for love.
But he is not dead now, Princess Lina is.
"I...where is this?" He climbed up with some difficulty and touched his neck. It was intact and had not been torn off.
"On the secret way to the Principality of Langton." A familiar female voice came.
This voice was so familiar to Flanders.
It was Princess Lena who had hanged herself to death.
As soon as he looked up, he saw his beautiful figure who had been thinking about it day and night walking in.
"Princess Lena, it's great that you're okay." Flanders looked so excited that he simply ignored what the other party said.
"Of course it's okay. Grand Duke Langton's power is too great, so I can only fake my death to escape."
"Even the Arbitration Court was interfered by his power, otherwise you would have regained the title of Duke." Princess Lena comforted Flanders and told him some of the situation.
"Now he is preparing to subvert the entire empire to achieve his ambitions."
"We must stop him as soon as possible!" When Princess Lina said this, she looked like a resolute princess who had subjugated her country.
Flanders was so fascinated that he couldn't help himself, so he responded several times in a row.
But he quickly realized one thing, and that was how they were going to stop each other.
His mind is distorted, but his IQ is still there.
With just a few people like them, it would be difficult for them to even meet Lu Xingshi, let alone conquer the Langton Principality.
"Are we preparing to assassinate that despicable thief?" Flanders asked hesitantly.
He can sacrifice his life for Princess Lena without hesitation, but he must ensure that Princess Lena's mission is completed.
Assassination is not that easy.
"Of course not. You are of noble birth and have an important status. How could you assassinate that despicable thief?" Princess Lina's eyes were full of Flanders, making Flanders want to die for her.
"Then what should we do?" Flanders really wants to assassinate Lu Xingshi. It's not impossible.
"Look at your appearance." Princess Lena took the mirror and said with a smile.
As soon as Flanders caught his eye, his expression changed.
His appearance and body completely changed, completely turning into Lu Xingshi's appearance.
"I...how did I turn into a thief!!!" Flanders gritted his teeth and stretched out his hands to squeeze his face.
"Don't rub it. I'll feel bad if you rub it badly." Princess Lena stretched out her hand to stop Flender's behavior. She was worried that the transformation that was finally completed would be destroyed.
"The royal family and nobles will help us to make the thief disappear, and you will replace him and become the real Grand Duke Langton." Princess Lena explained the plan.
"This is impossible. I will never become Archduke Langton in the name of this thief." Flanders would definitely not agree. If he really wanted to do this, wouldn't all future achievements be attributed to that thief?
No matter how great my talents or strategies are in the future, there is no way to prove to myself that I will only be the artist who died on the hanging?
"I will always accompany you, as the Duchess, to make the Langton family more prosperous." Princess Lena said shyly.
As soon as these words came out, Flanders' mind was frozen and he was overwhelmed by this huge surprise.
"It's...it's not impossible." Flanders replied stumbledly.
Are the royal family and aristocrats wooing Lu Xingshi? If they weren't stupid, how could they choose to lead the wolf into the house? If they couldn't control Lu Xingshi, they would only be counterattacked.
As for twisting Lu Xingshi's mind like Flanders, they couldn't do it. After all, Lu Xingshi was already able to use fighting energy, and a proper knight would be discovered before his mind was distorted.
Flanders, on the other hand, did it easily.
And with Princess Lina as the traction rope, as long as Flanders successfully replaces Lu Xingshi, the Principality of Langton will become the greatest help for the aristocracy and the royal family to regain power.
The previous arrangement for Flanders to go to the Principality of Langton to meet Lu Xingshi, the subsequent accusation against Lu Xingshi, the hanging sentence, and even Princess Lina's fake death were all just smoke bombs thrown out.
Getting close to Lu Xingshi is to let Flanders come into contact with Lu Xingshi, so that he can use some kind of magic weapon to change Flanders' appearance. Otherwise, how can he replace his appearance if his appearance is different.
The follow-up was to let Flanders die as a smoke bomb to confuse the Steam Faction. They even spent a lot of money, and they were even weaker under the attack of the Steam Faction.
But as long as the plan is successful, everything will be worth it.
With the Principality of Langton, they have soldiers, land and food, plus the orthodoxy of the nobility and royal family, they are completely able to break away from the suppression of the Steam Faction and rise again.
Otherwise, how could they have even sacrificed Princess Lina. "That's great. I can only force you to pretend to be that thief." Princess Lena comforted her and then said some seductive words to Flender.
I can only say that she is worthy of being a social butterfly princess, and she is indeed amazing in this aspect.
Flanders was instantly hooked.
There are many considerations in choosing Flanders as a replacement.
First of all, Flanders is the eldest son of the Langton family. Even if he gave up his surname, the blood of the Langton family still flows in his body, so that witchcraft can play its greatest role.
Secondly, in terms of his personality, he can be more easily distorted. In addition, he has obvious weaknesses. As long as he orders Princess Lina, he cannot refuse.
No matter how humiliating it is, it is still an honor for him. After all, it is Princess Lina's entrustment.
"How long does it take for us to arrive at the Principality of Langton?" Flanders woke up from being in a daze and asked his question.
"It will take at least half a month. Don't you like being alone with me?" Princess Lina frowned, seeming a little displeased.
Flanders hurriedly explained that he looked very panicked because of anxiety and panic.
All I can say is that he was really pinched.
After some hesitation, Princess Lina said: "Once you successfully replace the thief, you must kill the cabinet minister, military minister, finance minister and justice minister he promoted as soon as possible."
"They know you so well and the thief so well that it's easy for them to detect problems."
These four people, after all, had watched Flanders grow up and followed Lu Xingshi. They must be lying if they said they couldn't see the problem.
When Flanders heard these four people, his expression became extremely gloomy.
"Of course, they know that the wandering knight is the thief who stole my title."
"Not only did he not help me kill this thief, but he also became loyal to him."
"This kind of betrayer, if you hadn't interceded for them, Lina, I would have tortured them!" Flanders said angrily.
In his plan, whether he successfully regained the title or replaced Lu Xingshi, he would make life worse than death for these four people and their whole family.
He would not refuse even Princess Lena's request.
"It's better to be on the safe side and kill for safety." Princess Lina was also glad that she reminded her, otherwise if she really followed Flanders' approach, bad things would definitely happen.
According to intelligence, it is known that these four people currently divide all the power in the entire Langton Principality.
It's not that Lu Xingshi was ignored, but that these four people were completely loyal to Lu Xingshi, and their power was also given by Lu Xingshi, and it was just a word of Lu Xingshi that they were taken back.
Because of this, these four people were able to be eliminated as quickly as possible.
Otherwise, if they discover that Lu Xingshi has been switched, these four people will imprison them immediately and look for the real Lu Xingshi.
As for how they will complete the replacement? After all, Lu Xingshi was so powerful that even the great knights conferred by the empire were no match, let alone a mere Flanders.
In order to succeed, the royal family and the aristocratic faction naturally took out all the bottom of the box.
Several powerful magic weapons and several wizards with corresponding attributes.
They didn't believe that Lu Xingshi could escape.
…
"Cato, what do you think of Archduke Langton's request?" a high-ranking imperial official asked.
After Brie retrieved the moonstone energy technology and reported Lu Xingshi's request, the empire's top officials gathered together and held a meeting.
There are not only senior officials of the Steam Faction, but also sporadic nobles and royal families.
"Grand Duke Langton's pursuit of power is not a lie. I'm not sure about the rest." Cato said very conservatively, but he was certain that Lu Xingshi's words were most likely true.
"The situation in the Dragon Mountain Range has become more serious, and the defense line has retreated again." A senior executive continued: "If we can't stop it next, we will be in trouble."
"We can let Archduke Langton go, but he can't lead the troops. We will directly change the commander." Another senior executive gave a solution.
"It's feasible. We have moonstone energy technology and a complete training method for moonlight werewolves. We can put our moonlight werewolves into the defense line of the Dragon Mountains and be commanded by Archduke Langton." After Cato finished speaking, he added: "I can accompany you as deputy commander-in-chief."
This means that the soldiers are theirs, and with the addition of Cato, the beast zone of the empire, for supervision and control, the risk will be greatly reduced.
"Okay, but I don't know if Grand Duke Langton is willing to agree."
"If he can really conquer the Dragon Mountains, the empire can fully cooperate with him to study the Dragon Mountains and capture the Immortal Dragon." A senior executive said.
As long as the Dragon Mountain Range can be included in the Orei Empire, Lu Xingshi's request will be the same as nothing else. Compared with the output of the Dragon Mountain Range, the manpower and material resources invested will be a huge profit.
"Draft a letter and send it to Grand Duke Langton. If he agrees, the empire will do its best to help him." Someone immediately gave the final word. Since everyone passed it, naturally no one questioned or objected.
