I am the one running the game

Chapter 531 I thought I was just an exception, but I didn't expect you to treat me the same

The royal messenger eventually died.

Under the Plague of the Betrayer, first the bloodline fades, then the poison surges back, causing death to be extremely painful.

Under normal circumstances, the Betrayer Plague does not cause a backflow of toxins, and the blood does not subside so quickly. It may take seven days to a month for the blood to completely subside, and then death will slowly occur.

The reason why he died so quickly was because he encountered the corpse of Ke, the source of his death. Otherwise, with his strength, theoretically he could have lasted for at least a month.

"The second irregular transmission caused irreversible damage to the remaining Betrayer Plague."

"It's hard to have a similar effect on a second person."

This time, Lu Xingshi did not extract the blood, but burned it directly.

He didn't dare to burn Ke's body, for fear that it was the source after all, and if it evaporated after burning, everything would be ruined.

However, the bodies of the royal envoys were different. They were basically non-infectious, and after being damaged, the flames were able to cause injuries to them.

Flames rose, the corpse was charred and turned into ashes. Lu Xingshi waited for about two hours before burying it.

"But what is this royal envoy doing in the Tongshu tribe?" After Lu Xingshi finished burying the dead, he began to think about this matter.

There was only this one tribe in the direction he came from.

"Could he be going to report something?" Lu Xingshi thought of this possibility.

If he is rehabilitated again, his subsequent efforts to fan the flames will be ineffective.

Instead, it was the royal court that covered up the matter, and it was eventually turned into an ironclad case, allowing Lu Xingshi to benefit from it.

This is not to protect the palate, but to safeguard the interests of the royal court.

The royal court’s previous character was one of fairness and justice, and if something like this happened, it would inevitably affect the enthusiasm of each tribe.

Therefore, the best way is to find someone to take the blame, saying that it is not Wang Ting’s fault, but Lu Xingshi is slandering Wang Ting.

In someone else's territory, Lu Xingshi and his people have also fled, so it is naturally not the royal court that has the final say on what to say and do.

He was not too surprised by this. After all, the royal court was already a similar existence to a city-state and would not be as clearly divided as a tribe.

However, it is definitely impossible to say that the Royal Court was not wrong. It is possible that the people of the Royal Court could deliberately intercept the resources of the tribal people. Without the connivance of the Royal Court, it would not be possible to do so blatantly.

But it is normal to think about it. After all, the ones who benefit are his own children and nephews, and in the end it is the foundation of the royal court that is enhanced, so he just turns a blind eye.

That is why it is similar to a city-state. If it were a small dynasty, it would only regard the tribe as a part of its rule rather than an object of indirect plunder.

They only cared about their own royal court and ignored other tribes.

Even if the Bronze Royal Court is unified in the future, its ending will not be good.

After all, there is Lu Xingshi. It is true that he killed E and Chang, but Wang Ting took sides and deliberately targeted him, so don't blame him for being ruthless and taking revenge in the future.

In fact, he didn't ask for too much. He just wanted the royal court to remain silent, and he would regard it as the royal court having no choice but to do so.

However, Wang Ting eventually came to his end. Not only did he cover up the truth, but he also threw dirty water on him. So it was reasonable for Lu Xingshi to kill them.

He was originally a victim, and they didn't think about solving the problem but about solving him. Then the royal court became a trouble for Lu Xingshi, so he also had to solve this trouble.

But now is not the right time. My strength is not enough, and I can't directly blow up the entire royal court for the time being. I need to develop for some time.

After dealing with the royal envoy, Lu Xingshi continued to head towards the Tongshu tribe.

The journey back should have been smooth, but after three days, we met people from the Fire Bronze Tribe.

The main reason was that Lu Xingshi recognized the other person. This person was called En, and he was one of the people who escorted the fire copper to the Tongshu tribe with Lu Xingshi.

"En, why are you here?" Lu Xingshi went over and greeted him.

When En saw Lu Xingshi, he was also a little surprised: "Lu, you are back, I remember you went to the king's court?"

"Something happened, so I had to come back." Lu Xingshi vaguely replied, and then asked, "Are you planning to go to the Tongshu Tribe?"

"Yes, I plan to go to the Tongshu Tribe." En answered directly: "Our tribe used our military merits to exchange for a lot of things at the Royal Court, but these things have not been returned. We sent people to ask what happened, and the Royal Court said that they were lost."

"I want to go to your tribe and ask if this situation exists." En was straightforward.

"What about other tribes? Have you asked?" Lu Xingshi spoke.

"They have some too, but some of them have not been lost completely." The Fire Copper Tribe where En is located and the Copper Tree Tribe where Lu Xingshi is located are not close to each other, and there are several tribes in between.

"What a coincidence, you should know that I went to the royal court for further studies." Lu Xingshi couldn't help but sneer, and then explained the situation. He thought that he was slandered just to cover up, but now it seems that the people in the royal court are really bold, and his problem is just a small one.

He actually withheld all kinds of rare treasures that the tribe had exchanged for their military merits.

You have to know that these resources were obtained at the cost of the lives of various tribes.

What's more important is that there is some kind of vague division. For example, the Tongshu tribe where Lu Xingshi is located is divided into the tribes of leek. As for why it was the palate that did it, it is most likely the white gloves, otherwise it would be too ugly to eat like that.

Of course, it is also possible that Nie didn't know about this, otherwise the treasures exchanged by the Tongshu tribe would not have fallen into his hands.
As for why she was able to exchange it so easily, it was probably because of this reason. The issuer thought that it was Ni who came to take the share, but unexpectedly, it was given directly to Lu Xingshi.

In this way, the military merit was cashed in and the favor was returned, but the things fell into the hands of the high-ranking officials of their royal court.

Perhaps even the Witch King doesn't know about this, otherwise he wouldn't have covered it up, because it really cannot be covered up.

After hearing what Lu Xingshi said, En's eyes widened.

He had been with Lu Xingshi for a month, so he naturally knew what kind of person Lu Xingshi was. However, he was expelled the next day. It was indeed ridiculous to say that he was a thief.

"Wait, you mean that the things we exchanged were all intercepted by the royal court, and then they told us that they were lost?" En realized what Lu Xingshi wanted to express.

"Otherwise, who do you think would dare to steal in the royal court?"

"And even if someone stole it, don't you think the behavior of the royal court is a bit strange?"

"It's not just your Fire Copper Tribe that lost things. The tribes you asked about also lost things. For such a big theft, the royal court is not in a hurry at all. Do you think it's possible?"

Lu Xingshi's series of words made En's face look very ugly.

that's the truth.

"As for whether you believe it or not, I don't care. You can tell Wu Can exactly what I said. He has his own judgment." Lu Xingshi said with a smile.

"I understand, but I still plan to go to the Tongshu Tribe." Xin agreed with Lu Xingshi's statement, but still wanted to go to the Tongshu Tribe to confirm it.

"It just so happens that we have the same destination and can be companions on the road." Lu Xingshi did not lie and had a clear conscience.

Naturally, I am not worried about En going to the Tongshu Tribe to ask questions.

The two of them set off together quickly, but Lu Xingshi slowed down a lot in order to take care of En. En's strength was naturally not as good as Lu Xingshi's, so his speed was not as fast either.

"By the way, the Fire Copper Tribe will go to the King's Court to ask for an explanation. It would be best if they could bring more people and bring along those tribes that have also lost treasures."

"The people in the royal court are very disdainful of us tribal people. If you go to find the Witch King, there is a high possibility that you will be expelled for a random reason just like I was." Lu Xingshi reminded.

If one person goes there, he will be killed alone, but if a group of people go there, you can't stop them even if you want to.

In fact, En didn't quite believe it, after all, the prestige of the Bronze King's Court was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

But since it came from Lu Xingshi, he took it to heart: "I'll tell Yan about it. Maybe there's some misunderstanding about this matter."

"It's best if there is a misunderstanding, but I'm afraid it's not." Lu Xingshi could understand the other party's tactfulness. After all, they were outside and he was not a member of the Fire Copper Tribe, so he couldn't say it so casually.

...

"The treasure exchanged for military merits was lost, and it was lost in the royal court." The Bronze Witch King listened to several totem warriors from different tribes coming to him to ask about the loss of his treasure.

The exchange process for most tribes is actually to entrust the royal court to exchange, and then the royal court envoys and royal court people will help to deliver it.

This kind of thing has never happened before. After all, so many high-value treasures would not have been exchanged in the past.

"That's right. The envoy from the royal court came to inform us that our things were lost in the royal court. If we want them back, we can only exchange them for our military merits." said a totem warrior.

"And when we came to meet the Witch King, we were obstructed and attacked. Several tribes were expelled from the king's court for theft and were not allowed to enter the court without being summoned."

"These people are here just like us, to inquire about the lost treasures." said another totem warrior.

The Bronze Witch King's face suddenly turned gloomy. At this moment, he clearly understood what was happening.

And the problem is very bad, especially because before, at his instruction, a similar incident was turned into an ironclad case, with the original intention of protecting the royal court. But now it seems that his behavior has become a cover-up and assistance for certain people.

These people were able to see him because they were in large numbers, otherwise they would probably have been charged with theft and expelled.

There are naturally intersections between tribes, so Lu Xingshi was able to perceive that the witches of those tribes that were closer could naturally guess part of the truth by asking each other.

"I will give you an explanation." The Bronze Witch King understood that if this matter was not handled properly, their Bronze Royal Court would be destroyed by the Golden Royal Court, because all the tribes would not fight for the royal court.
