Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 251 If You Catch Me
Seeing that President Shador was so frightened that he lost his ability to speak, Master Laurie took two steps forward, pulled away the useless dean of the Faint Burial Church, and opened the door to peek at the situation in the hall downstairs.

In the hall on the first floor of "Midnight Star", the noise is gradually getting out of control;

However, from the sound of iron armor rubbing against the brothel by the soldiers of the city defense army, the rough inquiries of the commander of the city defense army, and the feeble excuses of the waitresses, the group of Shuangfengling gradually heard some clues:
The uninvited guests of the city defense army didn't seem to come to fight pornography or crimes.

They're here to catch spies.

Xia Houyan and his two boys could barely recognize the slick imperial dialect spoken by the captain of the city defense army, and probably heard a series of words in the common language of the empire, such as "beastman", "spy", and "inspection", which were not comparable to Shuangfengling.

President Shador, who was squatting in the corner like a shrunken white chicken, also quickly regained the color on his face.

"It should be the inspection team that catches orc spies..." the president of the chamber of commerce muttered, "Didn't Rose City lose to the federal orcs in the east region recently? These days, the city defense forces have been catching orc spies in the city."

"Orc spies?" Xia Houyan felt that the world was so strange, that the rude and savage orcs could still engage in intelligence work. "It's a bit difficult for tall and strong green-skinned orcs to sneak into the human capital, right?"

"The so-called spies are definitely not the orcs who came here, but a group of traitors who betrayed the empire!" Cavalier Commander Cousins ​​is always full of insights, "Anyway, the federal gold coins stuffed by the orcs melted the federal emblem on it and recast it The imperial currency is still the same flower here..."

Xia Houyan said in his heart that our earth is more civilized and advanced, and the salary of the enemy's spies can even omit the process of re-coining, and the dollars will be more enjoyable to spend after they are in hand, that's good.

Seeing that the matter downstairs had nothing to do with him, Master Laurie also relaxed and became curious:

"Then these days, has the inspection team of the city defense army ever caught orc spies?"

"You entered the city from the 'Splitting Skull Gate' in the south, and there is a string hanging outside the 'Swan Gate' in the east..." President Shador made a gesture of tying the knot helplessly, "But hang yourself Who can say for sure whether these are orc spies, anyway, the inspection team said that you are you... It is said that there are several unlucky people who have conflicts with the commander of the city defense army on weekdays, and they are all hanged up as federal spies The city gate is closed."

"Look, what is professionalism!" Xia Houyan joked with a straight face, "Record this as a typical case, and let the internal affairs department of Shuangfengling refer to it when you go back!"

"Don't worry, no one in our territory dares to contradict you, not even the dead..." Master Laurie said sourly.

The senior officials of Shuangfengling are still making jokes here, while the downstairs of "Midnight Star" is getting more and more lively.

In order to tell the inspection team of the city defense army that there were no orc spies in her brothel, the waitress of the brothel stomped her feet and was about to cry. A federal spy is his job—unless the brothel hostess is willing to give him a bond, or sleep with him...

In any case, this scene is quite like the urban management cleaning up small vendors on the roadside.

The few Shuangfengling scum upstairs were almost dumbfounded, and Xia Houyan was even more ashamed:
He was quite proud of the rest area he created on Route 66 before, but he didn't expect that it was nothing compared to the official robbery of the Imperial City Defense Army.

"You are really a very kind and upright lord." In Master Laurie's words, he couldn't even tell whether it was sincere or eccentric.

Master Xia Hou rolled his eyes, left Master Laurie who continued to eat melons and watched the show, and returned to the window.

——Since the incident on the first floor of "Midnight Star" had nothing to do with the Igor family, he naturally wanted to refocus his attention on the mourner of the "Thin Burial Church".

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. After looking at it, Xiahou's senior official immediately shuddered, and found a serious problem:
The mourner wearing hyacinth flowers on his shoulders and his two attendants did not know when they stopped at the corner of the street, but did not continue to the agreed meeting place "Midnight Star";
Even though the three Bofu believers were wearing hoods, Xia Houyan could tell that they were staring at the entrance of the "Midnight Star" brothel;

Xia Houyan followed their gazes and turned his head to look, and immediately at the door of the brothel under his feet, he found...

...Soldiers of the City Defense Army.

What a big bunch of city defense soldiers.

What a bunch of city defense soldiers so big they could fucking block a toilet.

In fact, this situation is also very normal, because the small captain of the city defense army's inspection team must not have come to search for spies alone-in this inspection team consisting of dozens of people, except for a few who followed the captain into the brothel Except for the soldiers, the others were all armed with guns and halberds, poking outside the brothel door waiting for orders!

This is a very common scene on the streets of the imperial capital where the search for orc spies is common;
But the problem is, what seems to be an extremely normal scene in Shuangfengling is abnormal in the eyes of three cultists who came to attend the meeting:

Originally, I came to meet with my subordinates, but suddenly I saw a large number of army soldiers at the scheduled location...

Not to mention the leader of a cult, even a smuggler would be so scared that he would stop in place and tremble, right?

So, Xia Houyan just watched helplessly as the three Boburian believers in the hooded gowns of Moke stopped at the corner of the street and took advantage of the endless flow of real and fake prostitutes on the street to hide their figures and wander around in the street. Outside the sight of the soldiers of the city defense army, they carefully examined the current security situation of the "Midnight Star" brothel.

Xia Houyan also saw that these three black robes would gather together and whisper to each other from time to time, obviously discussing countermeasures.

And the result of the discussion was also obvious: after five seconds, they began to face the direction of the "Midnight Star", staring at the large group of soldiers at the door, and slowly retreated step by step, obviously preparing to run away .

For the cult leader of the "Thin Burial Sect", this is an extremely sensible decision:

The Cup Bow Snake Shadow is the greatest magic weapon for the underground sect to maintain its survival. If the imperial army suddenly appeared at the originally planned meeting place, then this mourner has no need to take any risks to continue meeting—in his vision, the meeting partner Leo Shador The president has already been arrested by the imperial army, maybe——

——Who the hell would have guessed that this is a group of spy inspection teams conducting routine searches!

For a while, Xia Houyan hated so much that his teeth itched:

It would be too bad to scare away the mourners of the Bofu Sect because of the mess of those idiot inspection teams!

The next meeting between the Mourner and President Shador will have to wait until at least the next month—let’s not mention whether the other party will dare to come after this episode, or the current succumbing to the Igor family’s despotic power. Whether Chairman Shador will rebel at that time, just counting the time is a huge omission:

By next month, the Igor family would have already finished participating in the St. Augustus Festival and returning home with their titles!
Seeing the mourners receding further and further away among the crowd, and the faction that the Bobu sect that was about to "acquire" was about to miss out on the Igor family because of a misunderstanding, Xia Houyan felt his heart start beating wildly, and beads of sweat were pouring His forehead is oozing out:

Originally, the other party was invited to come to negotiate, and the negotiation was just right, but if the negotiation failed, they would be knocked into zombies with a stick, so how could it be like this now? !

Most importantly, now, what to do? !

——A loud noise that shook the ground shattered all thoughts.

Amidst the loud screams of "Spy", "Catch a spy", and "Killer", a wine table suddenly rose out of thin air, and then snapped into two pieces beside the crystal chandelier;
Among the buttocks that slipped and fell all over the floor, the limbs stretched into the air, and the terrified faces of the brothel waitresses, there is an afterimage of a black cloak flying out of the corner of the brothel hall, and the hastily unsheathed knives of the soldiers of the Imperial City Guards Light, converging together into a messy impressionistic picture——

——Master Laurie's "Fuck, there are really spies" exclaimed in astonishment, and even only blurted out half of it, Xia Houyan had already made up his mind:
Taking advantage of the noise and chaos downstairs, he kicked open the blinds of the private room, jumped out with a crowbar in his hand, roared a short wind-type magic syllable in mid-air, and finally landed heavily on the street where the crowd was fleeing. After turning around like a rolling gourd several times on the bluestone ground of the streets of the imperial capital, it was only then that the falling kinetic energy was released under the protection of the magical airflow.

The lord of Shuangfengling climbed up in embarrassment, raised his eyes and glanced briefly, taking a panoramic view of the surrounding situation:

On the left side of the field of vision, the man in black who rushed out of the brothel has thrown off his cloak, revealing his pale green muscles, and then jumped up to the roof of the nearest residential building. Then parkour far away——

——Behind him, the soldiers of the imperial inspection team who were caught off guard, didn't even have time to notice the high official Xiahou who jumped from the side of the brothel, and their dull eyes all pointed to the orc version of Altaïr with one button to enter the room;

On the right side of the field of vision, the surrounding crowd were already screaming and fleeing in all directions. The black figure of the mourner wearing hyacinth in the "Thin Burial Church" flashed past the crowd.

Without any hesitation, Xia Houyan pulled the hood to cover his face, and then ran towards the direction of the mourner and chased after him.

Noisy, chaotic, and terrified faces emerged in the field of vision.

The orc spy who suddenly appeared, like a stone falling from the sky, caused ripples among the orderly people walking in the brothel street like Pinghu;
But among the screaming, running, and squatting crowd, Xia Houyan's eyes were firm, and he was just looking for his only goal:
A purple hyacinth swaying weakly in violent winds.

The ground was rumbling, and the common language of the empire and the orcish language were flying together, but Xia Houyan could only hear his own heartbeat and feel the solid touch of the crowbar in his hand.

Then, he successfully found the target.

Among the chaotic crowd, the mourners of the "Thin Burial Church" seemed to have lost touch with their two bodyguards—the black figure wearing hyacinths panicked and dodged a speeding fruit carriage, looking around blankly Then, as if he had made up his mind, he spotted the entrance of a nearby alley and dived in.

Xia Houyan bypassed a pair of philosophical hooligans who were fighting nearby, and then chased after him with a crowbar.

On the way following President Shador, he deliberately observed the surrounding terrain - this is a compulsory course for those who are always ready to run away and have ghosts in their hearts;
And he remembered that the mourners who went to the doctor in a hurry ran into a dead end.

From the time when the black robe of the mourner and the cold and damp walls of the alley appeared in the field of vision, to when he rushed forward in three steps and two steps, and kicked the mourner to the ground with one kick, Xia Houyan only took four seconds.

Thanks to the previous duel practice, he is quite proficient in this set of procedures.

Then, Xia Houyan used the most beautiful, democratic and free posture to press the mourner to the ground with his knees, and before the other party wailed "I can't breathe", he stretched out his left hand and pulled off the mourner's hood Come down, and expose the secret face of the mourner to the daylight;
The crowbar raised high in his right hand was stuck in the air.

Lord Frost Maple Ridge's surprised face and Isa Sandria's terrified pretty face were frozen in time at the same time, their eyes met, and they were silent for a long time.

Then, a shout of "My lord! Are you there!" sounded far behind the two of them on the street outside the alley, as if footsteps were approaching rapidly.

Xia Houyan was still in a daze, but Isa Sandria, who was pressed under him, had stretched out her hands desperately, pushed her fiancé to the ground forcefully, then took out a black crystal from her robe, and stuck it between her slender fingers. Quickly crushed.

Xia Houyan subconsciously stretched out his hand towards Isa Sandria's forearm, but there was only nothing within his fingertips, and the countess of the stigmata had already been lost in a cloud of black mist that rose suddenly;

When the lord withdrew his hand, he didn't even touch an inch of Isa Sandria's skin, and there was only a piece of black cloth torn from the robe of Merk in his hand.

He froze for a while, then raised the piece of cloth to his nose and sniffed it.

A scent of hyacinth and rose.

The scent of hyacinths, a sign from joints, he has one planted on his shoulder;
And the aroma of roses is very familiar, just like the smiling woman in black dress at the banquet that day.

Lord Shuangfengling stared down at the piece of cloth in his hand, and fell into complete silence.

"My lord! My lord! Are you there!"

Amidst the increasingly clear calls, the sound of footsteps was still approaching.Xia Houyan gritted his teeth, stuffed the piece of cloth into his bosom, and then put on the hood that he had dropped due to the fight.

At the last moment before his cheeks fell into the shadows, Xia Houyan could only feel a huge sense of absurdity:
The mourner of the "Thin Burial Sect" stationed in the imperial capital is actually his fiancée...

Hot mom, what the fuck is this called? !
