Chapter 534 Rebellion 2
“Burp!”
Paul covered his mouth and burped.
“The roasted venison just now was really good. Fergus is really good at it.”
Accompanied by Victor and Ladi, he savored the delicious food all the way. Walk slowly back to your tent.
The hunting team camped in the forest tonight. This was Paul's first time camping in the wild, whether in his previous life or in this life. The tent, the bonfire, the whole barbecue, everything made him feel very novel. If I couldn't enjoy these things in my previous life, I would have set fire to the mountain and sat in jail.
The lord's camp is located in a separate place, not adjacent to the others - Fergus and others. The middle tent in the camp belongs to Paul, and the surrounding six tents are for Victor, Ladi and the guards prepared it. Their tents happened to surround Paul's tent, and there was a circle of horses outside.
The sun had already set by this time, and the guards lit torches and stuck them on the ground, illuminating the camp.
Paul took out his pocket watch and looked at it. It was after 8 o'clock in the evening. "It's still early for me to go to bed. If you don't go to bed either, how about you come to my tent and play a few cards?" Ke Duo, please find a few more people.”
Today’s hunting made him feel very lucky, and he didn’t know whether his luck on the hunting ground could be extended to the card game.
"Okay, Lord Grayman, I'll go find someone right now." Victor was very happy. The lord's card skills were very poor, which meant that he was going to get another windfall.
La Di glanced at Paul with pity and nodded in agreement.
"Who are you? Stand away!"
A soft shout came from the entrance of the camp, and the three of them couldn't help but turn around and look there.
I saw the guard on duty with one hand on the hilt of his sword and one hand pointing at a person outside. With the light of the torch, Paul could see clearly that he was dressed as a servant.
Maybe Fergus's? Maybe it's from the Warren family? The dinner party just now is over. Are there any after-dinner activities that I would like to invite myself to?
"I have something important to report to Mr. Grayman!"
The person seemed to recognize Paul and shouted to him, his voice trembling. But what is very strange is that although he is shouting, he seems to be trying his best to lower his voice, as if he is afraid of being heard by others.
Paul shouted to the guards: "Let him in!"
The two guards standing guard came forward and groped the visitor up and down before letting him in.
Victor walked towards the visitor and put Paul behind him.
"Who sent you here? Do you have anything to do with Mr. Graiman at this time?"
The person who came looked anxious, "I am from the Intelligence Department, Graiman. Mr. Man, your life is in danger tonight!”
This sentence shocked everyone present.
Victor reacted the fastest. He looked around and grabbed the person, "Come on, come to the tent and talk to me."
Then he ordered the two guards just now, "Notify everyone to be on the highest level of alert. Don't let any outsiders in, but be careful not to make too much noise."
"Yes, Lord Victor."
The two guards realized that something big was going to happen and immediately went to inform their companions.
Victor grabbed the visitor's arm tightly and walked into the tent in the middle of the camp with Paul and Ladi. He stared at the other person: "Tell me, what exactly happened?" But he still didn't let go of his hand.
The man dressed as a servant took a few breaths and said: "My name in the Intelligence Department is Brandi, and my name here is Mick. Lord Cecil arranged for me to work as a servant in the Warren family two years ago. Not only me, but also other companions were assigned to other families. Last month, my supervisor informed me to pay close attention to any changes in the target family, especially how they reacted to the tax reform policy of the Government Affairs Council, but I did not. I am not an old man who has served the Warren family for generations, and I have not yet gained the trust of the Warren family. The information they have revealed to me is very limited, so I haven’t heard anything yet.”
“But starting from the day before yesterday, I We were suddenly assigned a task with other servants, and Dimit Wallen asked us to transport a large amount of fire starters—sulfur and the like—to be placed in the forest in this area."
"Fire starters? "Everyone was shocked, thinking of a terrifying possibility. The place where they are now is full of trees, flowers and grass.
"Yes, they are all things that ignite fire. And more importantly, not long ago, the Warren family assigned us weapons and asked us to obey orders and do things-no matter what orders are given. "
"Weapons?" Paul's heart seemed to be grabbed by something.
No need to think about it, someone is definitely going to attack him.
"Haha! Haha!"
Paul laughed angrily, his arms trembling - of course he was angry.
"Okay! Okay! They can really do such a thing. It seems that I am optimistic after all."
Victor grabbed the cloth angrily Randy's collar, "Then why didn't you inform us earlier!"
Brandy had a look of pain on her face, "Forgive my incompetence, sir, the servants including me are under very strict supervision. If you leave without permission, you will be beaten to death on the spot. They never care about us lowly people." Human lives. I estimate that when the time comes, these non-core servants will be used as cannon fodder to rush forward to drain your strength. I can only come out now with the excuse that I just had a bad stomach, and I pretended to be smart. "
Among the people in the tent, only La Di's expression did not change much. She asked calmly: "Since we have learned about their conspiracy, how about taking advantage first? ? Brandy, how many people do you think were involved in the attack?"
Paul also asked: "How about we run away quietly?"
Brandy said with an ugly face. : "There must be more than 500 people ambushed in this forest, and it is said that they have deployed manpower outside the forest to block various intersections. Several major families have spent a lot of money to assassinate Lord Grayman this time. "
Victor quickly concluded that a breakout was unrealistic. An important reason that just came to mind was that their horses were tied to the horses of several major families.
Ladi said decisively to Paul: "Lord Graiman, then be prepared to defend yourself. If you break through, I don't know what traps they have laid on the road. I believe that the elite guards of the Lord's Mansion can hold off the rebels for a while, and then Try to notify the people outside as soon as possible."
Paul asked anxiously: "How to inform? Organize a death squad to rush out?"
The green-haired witch waved. Something fluttered into the tent, no, it flew in, and finally landed on the witch's shoulder.
Paul took a closer look and saw that it was the big parrot raised by La Di. It was said to be a parrot, about the same size as an eagle. He had seen this parrot several times before. Did it come with its owner when we went hunting this time? How come I never noticed it.
"Can it... work?"
"It can be done!" Ladi said with certainty.
"But... what if they set fire to the forest?"
"Then let them play with fire and burn themselves!"
A strange color flashed in the eyes of the green-haired witch .
