Riding and Slashing

Chapter 299

"My lord, this kind of framing is indeed a bit obvious..."

After imprisoning Malbert, Lisa Dilan may feel that his impromptu performance has not been performed well-he thinks he should act a little more angry...

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is an excuse to keep Malbert under control."

Li Ang waved his hand, sighed, and spread out the scroll brought by Malbert again: "However, the trouble now is that this king's decree is not actually a forgery, it is indeed a warrant signed by King Ulrik. "

"My lord, the nobles in Changhe Town have 'witnessed' Malbert's assassination of you, no matter whether this king's order is true or not, at least we can really ignore the order now, and no one will say that you are disobedient. "

Lisa Dilan said sinisterly: "If someone talks nonsense, I will make them shut up..."

"...Lisa Dilan, the adults are not worried about disobedience..."

Wentilph prevented Lisa Dilan from expressing her loyalty: "If the king's decree is true, it means that King Ulrik has determined that Amy is a heretic! In this case, it is difficult to reverse the case for Amy, even if Amy Mi was rescued, but she still has nowhere to go!"

"That's right...Only King Ulrik himself can reverse Amy's case, but his son just died, so it's probably hard to stay rational. It's not easy to handle..."

Li Ang frowned and thought hard, but there was still no good solution.

"Master Leon, King Ulrik specially ordered you to send troops to deal with Amy and Lord Godric. It doesn't look like you've lost your mind..."

Klose, who hadn't spoken all this time, suddenly said: "If someone killed his own son, most people would go to battle and kill the enemy himself, right? It stands to reason that he should gather an army in Sarleon City to avenge his son!"

yes……

Judging from the meaning represented by this king's decree, Ulrik should have made a decision that is most beneficial to him after careful weighing-this is not like the attitude that a father who is in the pain of bereavement should have.

Moreover, the Sarleon Kingdom is still a place that pays attention to chivalry. When his son was killed, Ulrik should personally lead the army out of reason and reason.

Now that he has recovered from his illness, it's not that he can't go to battle. Revenge for his son shouldn't be done by others.

But he asked Li Ang to 'crusade rebellion'...

"It seems that King Ulrik has no affection for Prince Alanric..."

Li Ang sighed: "Probably he only has the so-called child in the womb of the princess and his throne in his heart... This king is somewhat ruthless, and he has to weigh the pros and cons at any time."

"Weighing the pros and cons...My lord, if the Bacchus Empire attacks the Sarleon Kingdom at this time, what do you think King Ulrik will do?"

Wendy seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Li Ang.

"That's right...Wendy, go and call Alina!"

Li Ang's eyes lit up: "I almost forgot, Malbert asked Alina to marry him! Ulrik must not know about this..."

Not long after, Alina was brought in front of Leon by Wendy.

"Alina, have you met that handsome young master in the prison? He is Malbert—I was right before, that guy is indeed a good-looking guy, and he really doesn't have many shortcomings."

Li Ang pointed in the direction of the prison.

"Master Li Ang, you should talk about business, I'm not interested in Malbert..."

Alina sighed: "I know you are facing some troubles, what are you going to ask me to do?"

"I'm going to ask you to help me write an imperial edict... You go back to Siyuan City and tell Emperor Marius that the lord of the Sava River Castle, Malbert, has decided to defect to the Bacchus Empire. I am going to help His Majesty make him Governor of the North. "

Li Ang smiled: "You take Malbert back and he becomes a general. Your father will definitely not let you marry him, and you don't have to worry about being urged to marry when you go back."

"That's what I said...but I'm still a little worried..."

Alina obviously has a huge fear of being urged to marry.

"If you're really worried, you can castrate him. I don't believe that your father still intends to let you marry him under such circumstances..."

Li Ang took out a small knife and stuffed it into Alina's hand.

Alina pouted with a small knife in her hand: "I heard that he came here to deliver an order on behalf of King Ulrik. If you hand him over to me, then how do you explain to the king?"

"Oh, Malbert, a handsome and sentimental knight, assassinated me in order to save a beautiful Bacchus who was kidnapped by me. Unfortunately, I threw me into prison after the assassination attempt. Then he escaped from prison with this beautiful Bacchus, and chased The beauty who rescued him fled all the way to the Bacchus Empire, and eventually even betrayed the country because of love—look, what a beautiful love story..."

Li Ang easily gave a reasonable logic: "I am the biggest enemy of the Bacchus Empire. Many people know that I 'kidnapped' you...and this kid did ask you for a kiss...it's okay to say that he betrayed the country for true love Question?"

Alina rolled her eyes: "Okay...but if this is the case, then he can only be castrated..."

"Well... that's a not-so-good tragic love story. You can ask Brutus to help you with this job—I know Lord Brutus likes you."

Li Ang mentioned the little lord who led the gladiator's rebellion, Elena's elder brother.

Because Li Ang took over those gladiators, Brutus could no longer become the lord again, and now he is the captain of Arina's guard.

"Don't talk nonsense, Brutus is already married..."

Alina sighed: "Actually, I wanted to visit White Hart Castle and the Noldor Forest... Can I still come to your territory as a guest after a while?"

"Of course, you are welcome to come anytime after I have solved the troubles in my hands. By the way, I can send you some carriages, the latest models."

Li Ang pointed to the carriage that had been parked in front of the door.

After sending Alina away, Li Ang returned to the lord's hall to gather all his subordinates to start arranging affairs.

"Now Malbert is a true rebel who has defected to the country..."

"Sarah, report this matter to Sarleon City through official channels, and ask King Ulrik—Which rebel should I attack first? Is it Malbert who is about to lead the way for the Bacchus Empire to attack us, or is it guarding the treason?" Amy, who has been complaining about injustice in Fox Town... Besides, will Brennus be suspected of rebellion? Are there any traitors in the Lion Knights? Muddy the water...you understand."

"Risa Dilan, take those brothers from Ashcomman to sneak into Sarleon City and wait for me... If necessary, you can attack anyone without any scruples!"

"Klose, you take the king's order and set off with the Silver Hand first, and directly enter the Fox Town to protect Amy in the name of 'crusade against rebellion'. Anyone who dares to stop will be killed!"

"Grand Long, bring your banner guards into Lion Lake City, seal the gates of Lion Lake City, and no one is allowed to enter or leave, otherwise they will all be regarded as heretics!"

"Anson, send a letter to Sir Roland, asking him to go to Guihu Town to kill the heretics... After Roland leaves, let An Dongjia provoke a war with the Ravencrow Kingdom, and lead the Ravencrow Kingdom's army to the north of the kingdom! "

"Wendy, get the guards and the Noldor rangers ready for the expedition, and order the garrisons everywhere to prepare for war!"

…………

A few days ago, Sarleon.

"Your Majesty, I have received a military report...it doesn't seem to be good news..."

Monteverde held a scroll in his hand, hesitating for a while, wondering whether he should read it or not.

"The military newspaper has never had any good news... Tell me, my intelligence officer, what happened?"

King Ulrik was walking with his young and beautiful princess in his arms, and he never took his eyes off the princess for a moment, obviously not interested in military newspapers.

"The news comes from Lion Lake City. Prince Alanric... was murdered!"

Montevor frowned and said in a low voice. Seeing Ulrik's footsteps stop, he simply handed over the scroll.

"……What did you say?!"

Ulrik wasn't calm anymore. He took the military newspaper and looked at it twice, shook his head and rubbed his dim eyes, and then read it again seriously, very carefully.

Afterwards, he crumpled the paper roll, then re-opened it with gritted teeth and read it again.

"Your Majesty... please forgive me."

Monteverde cleverly started to back away—it's best not to get too close to the king in this situation, or he might be killed by mistake.

The princess also cleverly hid aside.

"Ah!!! Bastard!!!"

Sure enough, Ulrik threw away the scroll extremely suddenly, drew out the sword at his waist, roared wildly, and slashed and killed everything around him...

Several irises in the garden, together with a poor maid, fell under the king's sword.

Monteverde broke out in a cold sweat - if he hadn't taken those two steps back, the slashing sword would probably have been chopped off from his forehead...

"Come on! Call all the troops! I will make them pay!"

Seeing that he had killed an innocent maid, Ulrik seemed to have regained consciousness. He dropped the bloody sword in his hand, gritted his teeth and gave an order, and then sat down on the garden floor.

The princess picked up the scroll on the ground and looked at it, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then waved her hand to signal Montvou to deliver the order.

"Your Majesty, I know you are very sad now..."

The pregnant princess also sat down beside Ulrik, and embraced the king's arm: "I will be with you..."

"No...I'm not sad...I'm angry!"

Ulrik patted Wang Hao's arm, as if he had gotten a little comfort from Wang Hao, and he seemed to have calmed down a lot.

"I don't like Alan Rick, many people know this...but no one knows the reason..."

"Actually, he's not my son! I've never touched his flamboyant mother... because I don't know whether I should regard her as my queen or my stepmother..."

Ulrik murmured, confiding the secrets of the palace with some powerlessness.

The princess kept nodding her head slightly, being a good listener.

"In fact, she was the concubine my father designated for me when he was on the throne...but in the first two years after she entered the palace, she spent almost every night in my father's bed!"

"So, I knew from the beginning that Alan Rick was not my son...he was actually my brother! Hahaha...so I kept ignoring him...so he would get sick at a young age...because he was My crazy father and his daughter-in-law made it up!"

"How could I feel sorry for him? I wish he would die! But I still made him the Prince of Lion Lake City - this is what he deserves as my brother, he should be a prince...I know he It's not his fault that I was born, I've been trying to be a fair king..."

"Whether it is the lord of the kingdom, the governors of various counties, or those who are hostile to me, I have always tried to treat them fairly-even Leon, who came from a suspicious background, I made him an earl, and even made him an earl. He served as the marshal of the kingdom... because he has indeed made enough military exploits!"

"But I have never been able to be fair... because the disputes within the kingdom have never stopped!"

"...The military newspaper said that Godric conspired against him! It said that her daughter Amy was the leader of the heresy! It also said that Amy caused many massacres in the Lion Lake City area..."

"Haha... how ridiculous! Godric is my brother-in-law... I know him! Amy is my niece, and I know what kind of child she is... Rebellion? Heresy? Massacre? Hahaha... everyone Am I a fool?"

As Ulrik spoke, he shook his head and laughed bitterly: "I am angry because I have to do some unfair things against my conscience again and again..."

"Even though I knew it was framed, but for the safety of the kingdom, and for myself... I had to sacrifice them..."

"Actually, I didn't want to be king... I didn't want to from the beginning. But my father killed my uncle before he died... At that time, everyone suspected that I did it! If I can't sit on the silver throne, then I I will definitely die! My crazy father used this method to force me to sit in this position..."

"But what's so good about this throne? It's icy cold..."

Ulrik fell powerlessly into the flowers behind him, and murmured the last words: "I know you married me for power, how can a young and beautiful girl have any real relationship with an old man like me?" Love?... But I still want to thank you, at least, you have always been by my side when I need to talk out the most."

After listening to the king's words quietly, the princess sighed, but said nothing.

She just lay silently among the flowers, hugging Ulrik's head into her arms like hugging a child.

……

A few days later, Sarleon.

Garden of the Noble House.

"Your Majesty, I received a military report...not good news..."

It was still the intelligence officer Knight Monteverde, still holding a scroll in his hand, still hesitating whether to read it or not.

"Read!"

Ulrik didn't seem to want to talk anymore.

"A message from the Chateau de Sava... Malbert is treasonous!"

Montevo just passed the scroll over after saying one sentence, then turned around and ran away.

"Bastard! Damn it! Damn it all! They are all traitors!!"

Another innocent maid fell to the king's sword, and another flower bush became a mess.

The irises that had been blooming in the garden of the Noble House were stained with blood again and again, and it was hard to tell whether they were originally red or golden.
