Chapter 394 Looking for Death
Thank you very much for Qidian's father [Braised Prawns] for the 100 reward!
…
When we came, Lei Wen walked for 13 months, and went from the Western Guards to the province directly under the jurisdiction, and then to the Wangdu for more than a month. On average, it was less than 30 miles a day.
When I went back, I brought a lot of supplies, and my speed increased by more than half.
On the one hand, it is because the 1,000 war horses with Warcraft blood given by Keynes XVI basically do not need to walk.
On the other hand, it was also because of the originally chaotic public security that was greatly reversed.
People began to sow seeds in the abandoned fields, and all the thieves and rioters that could be seen often disappeared.
Apart from being more careful in the first few days, and then camping, you don’t have to be as cautious as before, and you basically take a break wherever you go.
At first, Lei Wen thought that Keynes XVI noticed the uneasy ground, so he strengthened the rectification efforts.
But the more you see, the more confused Lei Wen became - the speed was too fast.
Construction is always much harder than destruction.
Suppressing bandits and moving people is a project that is destined to be long-term.
If the order of a place is restored, the bloody highlands will not have been included in the territory of any country for thousands of years.
So curious, on the fourth night after leaving the capital, Lei Wen ordered people to find several local leaders to ask questions.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t ask, the content asked made Lei Wen even more shocked.
In the next few days, every time I arrived at a place, Lei Wen would ask someone to ask, and asked for questions for 5 consecutive days. On the morning of the 6th, Lei Wen ordered the speed up, and the daily lunch break and lunch time were cancelled and placed on the road to resolve the issue.
So in just 17 days, Lei Wen and his party left the province directly under the jurisdiction and crossed the Western Guards' Province, and came to the border between the Western Guards' Province and the Mangtaien Province.
Earlier that morning, Lei Wen woke up from his sleep. He had just finished washing and was about to set off on his way, and the hyena came to inform him: "Sir, the Queserland family has sent someone to invite you to get together with Duke Serafinu." As he said that, he held a letter in his hands.
Lei Wen took the letter and read it. He found the paper and pen and wrote a simple reply letter to the Hyena: "Tell the letter to the messenger and tell him that I just want to go home now, so I can only let down the good intentions of Duke Serafinu."
The Hyena received the order and retreated. Soon after, the entire team set out.
At noon that day, he left the Western Guards Province and came to the boundary of Mangtaien Province.
The entire province directly under the jurisdiction, including the four provinces of garrison, is basically an endless plain, and after entering Mangtaien, the terrain changes.
At first it was just undulating hills, but slowly it turned into towering mountains.
The team walked on the mountain road, and the stream flowed beside the road, and there were green mountains not far away.
Just after noon, the sun was covered by heavy dark clouds. The clouds climbed up along the ridge of the mountain, bursting out thunder, and the raindrops were squeezed out.
The new rain in the empty mountains washed the mountains into a tender green color, and the rustling sound of raindrops falling on the leaves was even more pleasant.
However, although the scenery is good, it is not suitable for rushing.
Fortunately, Mangtaien Province is famous for its business, and there are many merchants coming and going on this road. You can always see camping sites cleaned up by your predecessors on the roadside.
So Lei Wen and his party found a gentle slope far away from the stream to camp.
Although the Eagle Army did not focus on heavy armor during the march, the group also had rigorous behavior and strong momentum, and no eye-opener dared to come up to harass him.
There were also rushing nobles who handed over a visit and wanted to meet Lei Wen, but Lei Wen politely rejected them.
The hyena sat under the curtain at the door of Raven's tent and was wiping the water marks on the armor with a fine cotton cloth.
Lei Wen also took off his wet leather armor and hung it on the pole, then changed into a dry cotton robe.
For a moment, he was a little sorry. If he had accepted Serafinu's invitation, he could now listen to the rain in the castle.
"Oh, this damn weather..."
At the same time, in the Western Guards Province.
Duke Serafinu is in his castle, leaning against the stove to close his eyes and meditate:
"Is it sure that Count Leiwen has left?"
"Confirm." A knight with rain marks on his body replied with a complaint:
"He can understand that he is anxious to go home, but it is too much. He is like a rabbit chased by a wolf, and he doesn't dare to stop."
"You don't understand, don't understand..." Serafinu sighed:
"It's not that Count Leiwen dares not stop, he must show that he dares not stop."
If anyone can understand Raven's mood at this moment, then it is Serafinu.
During this period, Lei Wen did not hide his movements, so Serafinu knew clearly what Lei Wen had done, asked, and asked what he had asked.
I know what conclusions Lei Wen has come to.
That is, before Lei Wen entered the royal capital, the various empires that he saw were about to "decline" and "collapse" in the provinces directly under the jurisdiction and the Western Guard Province were all fake.
The so-called bandits and rioters are pretending to be the Imperial Army; the so-called poverty and serfs are just being recruited to other places for projects; as for the dead babies in the ditches - premature children, there are not too many.
Now Lei Wen can see that it was because the bandits and rioters retreated and turned back to the army; the recruited serfs were also released back to their original place, and the dead babies in the ditches had long been buried.
As for why Serafinu understands so clearly?
Because the soldiers who pretended to be bandits were personally assigned by Serafinu; the serfs were personally dispatched by Serafinu.
All of this is part of His Majesty's plan.
From the moment Lei Wen stepped into the Western Guard Province, he had already entered His Majesty the King's trap. Everything he saw and encountered afterwards was planned by His Majesty the King.
This is a test for Raven.
Test Lei Wen, because he saw the chaos in the empire, he had other thoughts about His Majesty and the empire, and would he consider joining the old or new aristocrats.
Even if Pei Dinnan was able to enter Yuan Prison to visit the prison and make conditions, the King had the acquiescence of His Majesty the King.
From entering the capital, to being arrested, and then to trial, Lei Wen showed a slight dissatisfaction with His Majesty the King, and if he intends to join any faction, he will not be able to leave the Samur Palace alive.
Let Lei Wen see everything clearly when he leaves, he is a warning and deterrent—
This time you made the right choice, I will let you go; next time, remember your choice this time!
The trial that Keynes XVI so carefully designed and brewed was certainly not only a test of Raven, but also a deterrent of all the nobles involved.
His Majesty the King can design Lei Wen like this, can't he design others like this?
How can you guarantee that what you see is not what His Majesty the King wants you to see?
As long as you suspect, everyone is in danger, and no one is absolutely safe.
If you want to save your life, you can only hold on to two words -
Loyalty!
Serafinu lay on the chair, her eyes falling on the roof.
Maybe he was leaving for too long, the servant who cleaned the room was lazy, and there were spiders' webs in the corner of the ceiling.
Maybe it was because of the sound of rain outside the house that was so shocked that a fly hit him, and struggled for a few times before stopping moving.
Serafinu said silently: "I really envy you...Leiwen."...
The rain did not last long. The next morning, Leiwen and his party set off on their way.
If the terrain of Mangtaien province is reduced, it will be a concave hexagonal star surrounded by mountains, but there are 6 wide paths connecting the surrounding provinces.
The intersection of these roads is the province's capital "Xiongchuan City".
After rushing for half a month, Lei Wen and his party finally arrived here.
The logistics were basically exhausted, so I stationed outside the city to purchase supplies, and prepare for everything to go on the road.
From the baron to the earl, it is not only a change in terms of title, but also a difference in status is reflected in all aspects.
The last time I passed by Xiongchuan City, Lei Wen was also very popular, but he had to do many things himself.
This time, just after I got stationed, the big merchants in the city took the initiative to come to provide supplies to Lei Wen.
Even the president of the local Mercenary Guild came up and brought a rather surprising news - someone was investigating Lei Wen's whereabouts.
Leiwen is a new Count, very popular, and it is not strange that someone wants to understand.
The most new ⊥小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小小�
The strange thing is that the person who inquired about Lei Wen's identity is a mercenary, with a mysterious origin and great strength; what is even more strange is that he has a wealthy and wealth that is not commensurate with the identity of a mercenary.
This is quite intriguing.
Lei Wen was bored when he was on the road and decided to go over and take a look in person.
Maybe you can stretch your muscles and bones.
The Wangdu has been frustrated during this period!
So, Lei Wen changed into casual clothes and took a group of personal guards, under the guidance of the local Mercenary Guild president, to the mysterious mercenary's hiding place - a remote two-story building.
"Sir, this person's strength is mysterious. Although he only shows level 3,..." The guild president was still reminding him carefully.
After hearing a bang, Lei Wen had already asked the hyena beside him to kick open the door, and then rushed in with his men.
Just kidding, it’s fine if you have to be cautious when you are out, but you have to be cautious when you come out. Then what should I do?
The president was stunned.
He himself is a level 4 extraordinary. Although he was promoted by his strength back then, he had not performed a task himself for many years, so he was inevitably a little bit of a manual.
Seeing Lei Wen lead a group of personal guards into it, he was really worried whether he wanted to go in?
However, the expected big fight did not happen, as quiet as if there was no one inside.
While doubting, the hyena walked out, closed the door, and said coldly: "Thank you, President, you have nothing to do with you."
"Remember to keep your mouth shut today, and the Count will repay you later."
The president wanted to ask again, but when he saw the cold eyes of the hyena, he immediately swallowed his saliva, knowing that this was not something he could inquire about, so he nodded and smiled, turned around and left.
In the building, Lei Wen's face was full of shock.
Mansenie is here, Link is here, Eric is here...
Even Denise is here!
I haven't seen each other for the past two years, Eric really dressed up like an old mercenary.
He was wearing worn-out armor and his boots were also terrible, and his face was full of dust. In order to cover up the characteristics of his big and small eyes, he even wore an eye mask, making him look like a pirate who had gone ashore.
Denise has changed her usual nobleness and coolness. She is wearing a black robe, with her hair wrapped and a black veil on her face, and only her eyes are exposed.
Now I see Lei Wen, I will lift the veil.
"How come you are here?" Lei Wen couldn't figure it out.
If it weren't for the operation of the Eye of Truth and confirming that he had no illusion, Lei Wen would have thought that this was an illusion performed by a certain great wizard.
Denise opened her red lips lightly and lowered her eyelids: "It's like this..."
The news of Raven's arrest was the most explosive news in the empire. It spread throughout the empire in less than a month.
Weston's letter of help was sent back to Eagle City at about the same time.
After receiving the news, Denise first wrote a letter to appease Weiston, telling him not to worry, and then immediately made a decision: to break the 1st Legion of the Eagle Army into pieces, dress up as a caravan, and go straight from Nord Province to the province directly under the jurisdiction.
If time is enough, then sneak into the city and rescue Lei Wen;
If you can't get through, then let's burn with Yan Naigal to avenge Lei Wen!
Denise herself took Mansenie and led some of the Eagle Army to set off alone; Eric and Link were in company; the rest of the staff were also arranged.
It was not until some time ago that I heard that Lei Wen had been released that I met in Xiongchuan City. While gathering the troops, I waited for Lei Wen to arrive here.
Lei Wen nodded frequently at first, but the later he looked worse. After listening to the entire process, he could hardly suppress his anger:
"Silly, stupid, so stupid!"
"Not to mention how ridiculous the operation of 5,000 teams is torn to pieces. Can it be reached on time and how much can it be reached? Even if your plan is successful, what can it do?"
"That's the king capital, the king capital! Do you think you can fight with your three or two big cats and another 5,000 elite soldiers!?"
"What's the difference between doing this and dying death??"
The crowd was scolded and bowed their heads, and a hint of grievance appeared on Denise's face.
Raven set his eyes on Eric's head again:
"I'm surprised that Denise has never been to the battlefield. She doesn't know what war is. It's okay to have such a fantastic idiotic plan."
"You have been with me for so long, from the bloody high ground to Everall. How can you agree with this plan?!"
"Seeking death is not like this way!"
"Yes, I was arrested, but that's worthy of your pulling the entire Eagle Corps and the Griffith family to bury me?"
"Is it worthy of my hard work over the years?"
"Is it worthy of my hard work in the past few years?"
"Is it worthy of your efforts to do this?"
Lei Wen's bra was undulating, his eyes were so fierce that he seemed to eat people.
Eric gritted his teeth and looked straight into Raven's eyes: "But, sir..."
"The Griffith family is meaningful only if you are."
After saying this, Denise raised his head, and Link and Manseni next to him also raised their heads. Although they did not speak, they had expressed their approval with their actions. "I..." Lei Wen looked at everyone's eyes and felt aroused. He could no longer say what he had reached his throat.
After a while, Lei Wen said, "Eric, logically speaking, I should give you the most severe punishment for making such a decision!"
"But you will be able to fight with me, and the credit is obvious to all. If you don't give you a title, I'm afraid that people will be heartbroken."
Eric swallowed and was about to ask for punishment on his own initiative, he heard Lei Wen say loudly: "Thor."
"Sir!" Thor shuddered and walked to Lei Wen in two steps and stood straight.
Lei Wen said coldly: "I originally thought that you had made contributions to defending Eagle City and wanted to give you a knight title, but now it's gone." "Father and son!" Thor:? ? ?
