Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 71 Conspiracy
When the ugly black building in the sky appeared in view, Stannis finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he felt at home again.

"Ha, a warm castle and a beautiful home." The lord riding on the horse was so poetic that he couldn't help composing his own sonnet.

It's a pity that no one in the queue behind him stood up and chanted poems with him.

Robert on the side even gave him a blank look, because the packhorse he was leading was loaded with more arrows than before. These were all picked up on the battlefield. Stannis estimated that he would not have to ask Albert for at least a year. That profiteer bought arrows.

At this time, Bachelor Romon was already standing at the entrance of the castle, waiting for their triumphant return.

"Your Excellency, you have worked hard this time."

When Stannis dismounted, the old man hurried forward to greet him.

"It's okay. During the few days I was away, nothing major happened in the territory, right?"

Bachelor Romon shook his head, "No, the territory is as calm as the flowing water of the Kombe River."

"Oh, I'm relieved." Stannis then turned his head and ordered, "Okay, Coach Kan, you can take your people back, and everyone can go to Cook's food stall to eat. Let me ask you, I don’t need to gather for training in the next two days, so take a good rest.”

There was a short cheer from the soldiers, and then they dispersed.

Robert and Korodov also yawned and prepared to go back to rest, but Stannis appeared ghostly on their respective shoulders behind them, "You two don't run away, and a special meeting is called."

"No! Boss, there is still a meeting! Why do you like doing this kind of thing now!" Robert complained loudly,

But Stannis couldn't control that much, he couldn't help but rush all his staff into the small dark room.

When everyone was seated, Stannis recounted what Sean Bean Bernard had said to him, including wanting him to be the Duke of the Empire and getting the current Duke out of office.

After everyone listened, they didn't speak for a long time, because this kind of thing is not something they can get their hands on.

"Your Excellency, how did you reply to him?" Bachelor Romon asked cautiously.

Stannis waved his hand, "What can I say, it's not good to directly agree or refuse, so I said I have to go back and think about it."

The three of them glanced at each other, their solemn expressions not relieved.

"My lord, with all due respect, the situation is very complicated now." Korodov frowned.

"How do you say it?" Stannis was surprised, he didn't expect that such a big fool would know politics.

"Now the situation is obvious, and you can't go on without following his orders."

"What's the situation!" Stannis was shocked. This sentence didn't mean that he was tied to the chariot of conspiracy, and he couldn't even jump out of the chariot. The intention of treason, when the time comes, the Duke will still reward me, not flattered."

Korodov shook his head and categorically rejected his words, "This is absolutely impossible. If you report him to the Duke, he will definitely summon you for a confrontation. At that time, he will definitely not admit it, and no one will believe it." The imperial envoy will help you, a lord who has no power and no power, who is like a street mouse and has a bad reputation, ascend to the throne of duke."

Stannis nodded thoughtfully, "Chief Knight, what you said makes sense, but can you say the last sentence more tactfully?"

At this time, it was the turn of Bachelor Romon to say: "Conversely, if you don't agree to his request to participate in this subversive conspiracy, he can fight back and immediately report to the Duke that it was you who proposed to him to ascend the throne of the Duke." At that time, I believe that the Duke will be happy to imprison you and confiscate your territory, even if your territory is barren and worthless, no one wants to give it away."

"Uh, Grand Bachelor, although what you said is very reasonable, you don't need to say the last sentence..."

"In short, you're in a dilemma now, and the boss shouldn't go out with him at that time!" Robert complained forcefully.

"How do I know, look at that old guy's kind face! The elder nephew is still calling so affectionately, who would have thought of digging a hole for me to jump in!" Stannis was about to cry.

The three of them knew that it would be useless to talk too much, and the meeting in the small black room could not go on, so they bowed and withdrew.

Only Stannis was left sitting there in a state of confusion.

In the end, he wanted to go for a walk to relieve his mood.

After leaving the castle, the sun had not yet set, and finally returned to his own territory, which made him feel safe and relieved.

He was going to find Lu Jia, thank her for the badge of courage she gave him, and make a big sword to relax.

But just after he left the castle, he felt something was wrong, because the circus-like caravan disappeared, not to mention the red tents and beautiful girls.

"Huh?" Stannis walked quickly to the place where Luga and the others camped. Grass had already started to grow there, which meant that they had been away for a while. Could it be that they left after he led the army out?
Could it be that old man Romon took advantage of his absence to chase them away?He knew that the pedantic old man had always had a problem with these girls, thinking that they corrupted the ethos of the territory, but when he thought of the woman in the territory who was dripping with 'green juice' and claimed to be a virgin, Stannis really doubted the folk customs promoted here simple.

Never miss those wild and beautiful Isisi babes again!Especially the gentle and lovely big sister Luga, Stannis was filled with a sense of loss. He put his hand in, kicked the grass boringly, and wandered back and forth.

It was an immature childish voice coming from the side, "Honorable lord..."

Stannis turned his head and found that it was a boy who was half a person tall, and he was looking at him with a little fear.

He smiled, "What's the matter, little brother?"

The child took out a clean envelope from his arms and handed it to him, "Sister Luda asked me to give it to you, she said that you must come back here, and gave me a few candies to wait for you here. "

Stannis took the envelope, which still had the woman's body scent on it, and he gave the child a few copper coins, "Little brother, I'll take this for you to buy candy, and I'll ask you another question, when did they leave?" ?”

The child sucked his fingers and thought seriously, "Well, those big sisters left six days ago."

That was the day I left.Stannis quickly came to a conclusion.

"Thank you, little brother." He waved his hand at the child, who happily ran towards the grocery store with the money.

Stannis stood up and took another look at the envelope in his hand.

Luka, what do you have to say to me?
