Chapter 189 206 Who Has the Faster Hand

The night was getting dark, but Grand Duke Julio didn't feel sleepy at all, and Grena, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Grand Duke, please sleep for a while, I'll call you if you need something." "No need, this way Even if you lie there at night, your mind is full of things, so how can you fall asleep?"

Grena couldn't help sneaking a glance at the Grand Duke, and found that his face was full of exhaustion. After so many days of hard planning, the outcome of this night was really unbearable.

After pouring a glass of wine and putting it in front of the Grand Duke, Grena tentatively asked, "Grand Duke, do you want to prepare some supper for you? It will hurt your health if you stay up like this."

"No need, I'll sit here for a while. If you're tired, go and rest first." Julio sat down wearily, looked at the glass of mellow wine but didn't move.

"Then, then I'll go to the next door to rest first. If you have any orders, just call me. There is a bell here. Just pull it if you need something."

"Okay, you go to rest." Julio was silent, as if he didn't even bother to say anything, and Grena walked out gently to help him close the door. At this time, the whole Rose Inn was full of people In a tense atmosphere, manpower has been arranged upstairs and downstairs, ready to deal with emergencies.

Grena walked into the small room next door. Although the room is not big, it is very warmly furnished. It is usually only open when there are special guests, but today she felt so uncomfortable lying on this bed, as if turning over The bed would make a creaking sound, why didn't I notice it?
The quiet night passed through the gap in the curtains, and the dim starlight came in, but it felt so dazzling, Grena couldn't help but turned over again, lay down for a long time but still couldn't fall asleep, she didn't know why she would So nervous, could it be that he was really tempted by the conditions announced by Dagong?Or is it because this is an extraordinary night?

It was finally dawn, and she couldn't help getting up quickly, and made the people get ready and sent them to the small living room in person, knocked on the door lightly, and heard the slightly tired voice of the Grand Duke inside, "Come in." Then she opened the door When he walked in, he saw that the Grand Duke hadn't slept all night, but his energy was better than last night.

"What an exquisite breakfast, it looks like today will be a good day." Julio casually picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, savoring it slowly, and said intoxicated after a long time, "Well, the taste is really good, I tried it I want to poach two of your cooks for this dim sum."

"It seems that Grand Duke, you are in a particularly good mood today. Has that matter been resolved?" Grena keenly sensed the change in Julio's mood.

"Maybe it's not completely resolved, but I think the crisis here should be resolved." Julio ate two pieces of snacks, drank another cup of hot milk tea, and then stretched himself. "Hey, I'm a little sleepy too. I'm going to Rest for a while, remember to wake me up for lunch at noon, and then I will take you to visit an elder."

Who will it be?After arranging for the Grand Duke to rest, Grena couldn't help but think about this question repeatedly, is he going out?The nearest South County is more than a day's journey away, so the person he visited should obviously be in the mercenary city, who can be honored as an elder by the Grand Duke, so what is the identity of this person?
After lunch, Julio changed into a brand new set of clothes and checked them carefully. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, he asked Grena to accompany him to a small bookstore.

As soon as he entered the door, the little guy Mike greeted him enthusiastically, "Sir, madam, what do you two need? This store has all kinds of books. I will help you find what you want."

Julio waved his hand, "We're not here to read books, but to visit your boss." Just after finishing speaking, I heard an old man's voice behind saying, "It's Julio, don't come to see me. Back then I The favor owed to your grandfather has now been repaid, and we will have nothing to do with you in the future, but as an elder, I still want to advise you, don’t learn from your father, otherwise you will gain more than you lost. You are very smart, but don’t put That bit of ingenuity is used in conspiracy, you go."

Julio's face couldn't help turning pale, and then quickly turned red. He wanted to say something more, but he finally stopped talking when he heard the old man's firm tone, and gave a deep salute to the back door, "The junior will leave, I hope you The old man is having a good time here, if there is any need, just send me a message, and I will do my best to do it."

"Yeah." After humming lightly, there was no sound, and Julio hurriedly led Grena out of the bookstore with interest.

"Accompany me around this mercenary city. Although this is also the land of my principality, I rarely have the opportunity to come here."

Grena accompanied him carefully, but didn't dare to ask any questions. Although she was full of curiosity about the identity of the old man, she obviously shouldn't know about it, and Julio Ken brought him here on this trip. Obviously let her act as his bodyguard.

Suddenly, the discussion of a group of mercenaries next to her caught her attention, "Hey, have you heard? There was a fierce battle outside the city last night. An old man blocked tens of thousands of troops by himself. That army retreated, what kind of cultivation is this? I think the elders in the hall may not be able to catch up with him."

"How did I hear that the entire army was wiped out with one move?" "No, no, most of them were wiped out, and some seriously injured escaped by running fast."

This is an old mercenary who laughed and said, "Hehe, you juniors, you usually look down on us old guys because of your ability. My old man is here to tell you today that this little mercenary city doesn't know How many retired masters are hidden, any one of them was a powerful figure back then, you should pay more attention when you see the old man in the future."

As he said that, the old mercenary stretched out his hand to a young mercenary's wine glass, but was snatched away by the man, "Old man, don't try to steal my wine by chance, I can't see anything just like you The taste of a hermit." The mercenaries beside him laughed coquettishly.

These conversations at least let Greina know a few things. There was indeed an army planning to attack the Grand Duke last night, and the old man in the bookstore might be the rumored hermit. What is his identity?

Julio smiled slightly when he heard it, and then said to Grena, "Let's go, let's go back, even the mercenary city looks deserted after this war starts."

While walking, Grena paid attention to Julio's footsteps, and found that his footsteps were extraordinarily brisk at this time. It seems that a person's mood really affects a lot.

"It seems that news from your people will come soon. Now the wood factory and mine basically belong to you. How is this deal satisfactory?" Julio said to Grena as he walked. with.

"Of course, I am very satisfied to be able to gain something so quickly, but I also want to thank you, Grand Duke, for giving me this opportunity. I hope that the Grand Duke will not forget our Rose Mercenary Corps if there are such good things in the future.

"Haha, don't forget that we are friends. No matter what happens in the future, I hope we can help each other as friends." The Grand Duke's words sounded quite meaningful, and Grena didn't know how to answer for a while, so she just laughed nodding.

In the evening of the next day, the Governor of Lear County was spinning around anxiously in the room. The eyes of the people next to him kept moving with his footsteps, and finally one of them couldn't help but shouted to him, "Old Harry, I said you just Can't you sit down? What are you doing like an ant on a hot pan?"

"Hey, I want to sit down too, but in my heart,,,, hey, I always feel that something is going to happen. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the thing we planned. If it doesn't work out, I will directly face the army of the principality, and I have to bear the great crime of treason, do you think I can calm down?" The governor was still spinning around.

"But if you just go around like this, can you find a way? Isn't there no news yet? Maybe they have captured the little fox by now and are on their way back."

"Then there should be some news, right? I asked them to prepare carrier pigeons before we set off, and there should be news back at noon today at the latest, but now,,, hey! I shouldn't have listened to the encouragement of you guys back then, really If something happens, I'm afraid that my life's business will be...hey, when it really comes to that time, I don't ask for anything else, I just ask you to cut my face and help my son. The Sturt family has only this single seedling, you must help me preserve this little blood." After saying this, Governor Lille suddenly wanted to let go of the stone in his heart, and his spirit seemed to be less tense.

"Old Harry, I said, why do you say some frustrating words? Tens of thousands of us go to take him alone, how can we go wrong? Besides, hasn't the insider already said it? Even his close bodyguard, the bull, is not with him. By your side, are you still afraid that he will fly with his wings?"

"Yes, yes, I was wondering what was wrong just now. After you said that, I remembered that the bull was the shadow of Julio's little fox. It never left the side, but now it suddenly disappeared. Can you say There are no articles here?" Governor Lille's eyes widened and he looked at the few people anxiously.

"Maybe the bull slipped away when he saw the situation was bad?" "Fart, I know the bull very well. He is a good servant who would rather lose his life than leave. How could he escape?"

At this moment, suddenly a person ran in in a panic, "Master Governor, big,,, something is wrong,,,, news came from the Mercenary City, I,,, we,,, we failed."

"What's going on?" Governor Lille's face turned pale immediately, and beads of sweat rolled down his fat face. The visitor kicked the threshold because he was too nervous and couldn't help but flew in sideways. Governor Lille shot like lightning, grabbed the note in his hand, and let him slam it to the ground.

After reading the contents of the note, Governor Lille's face turned completely pale, his body swayed, and he fell down on the ground, scaring several people to rush forward, "What's the matter?"

"We are finished." The Governor of Lille County handed over the note weakly, and several people couldn't help being shocked when they saw it, "What should we do? Why don't we start our army right now? Julio's army is probably sending reinforcements to the front line, and there is no defense at all,,,,"

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a sudden commotion outside the door, and immediately the nerves of several people tensed up, "My lord governor,,,, ah!"

The door was kicked open violently, and a group of people rushed in. When Old Harry saw the leader, his complexion turned pale, and the faces of the others were also pale.

Old Harry suddenly laughed miserably, "Lauren, it turned out to be you. In fact, I should have guessed it was yours a long time ago. Lesson, this is the lesson. I don't know how greedy the human heart is, but I know that because of my greed It ruined our West family, hahahahaha." The laughter was full of misery, which made one's hair stand on end.

"It's good that you know it. This is the price you paid for betraying the principality. Someone here will give me Haosheng to take care of these distinguished guests." As soon as he gave an order, he broke into a group of soldiers, and he couldn't help but say that he wanted to arrest them.

These people obviously refused to be arrested without a fight, so they couldn't help shouting, "Roren, I think you dare! Don't think that you are a popular person in Julio's eyes. We are from the Grand Duke Charlotte. We are here as guests. How dare you?" To disrespect us would be to make an open enmity against the Grand Duke Charlotte."

"Oh? This sound is so harsh." As soon as the words fell, a scream was heard. The person who was yelling just now had turned into a corpse, and blood was gushing out from the cut throat.

Immediately, the room was filled with a bloody smell. Lauren looked at a few people, and then ordered, "Leave this old Harry to me, and leave me a living Duke Charlotte's man for the rest. Look at the others." Deal with it, but I don't want to see the living come out of here again."

After speaking, Lauren turned around and walked out. The envoys of the Duke of Charlotte yelled like crazy when they heard this, "Even if we die, Lauren will drag you to pay for our lives."

As he said that, he flew up, and the soldiers were overwhelmed for a while. They were about to rush to Luo Lun, but suddenly saw his fingers pointing. After that, those people flew out like a rag bag, and Luo Lun had already started to pay attention. He wiped the well-maintained and almost perfect nails, looked contemptuously at the corpses lying on the ground, and said coldly, "I can't control myself."

The once-prominent West family ended like this. Hundreds of people from all over the family wanted to rush out to escape for their lives, but they were met with a merciless massacre by soldiers. The huge courtyard was full of corpses and blood splattered everywhere.

Lauren looked at all this coldly, and finally ordered to the soldiers beside him, "Check carefully again, and make sure that no one from the West family will be left behind."

"My lord? What should we do with these corpses?" A soldier pointed to the messy courtyard and asked. Lauren couldn't help fanning his nose with his hand. "I hate blood. No matter how you clean this courtyard, it will smell of blood. Burn it."

After a while, the huge courtyard ignited a raging fire. It might take several days for the fire to be extinguished, but no one dared to put out the fire, and no one dared to go in to pick up the property inside. Now they have a little relationship with the West family. Everyone is afraid to avoid it, who dares to stir up this muddy water?

Lauren pressed old Harry and an envoy of the Duke of Charlotte, and they were still walking on the main road. Suddenly, he rode a fast horse to report, "My lord, there has been news from Mr. Bull, the three barracks in Lear County The soldiers have all surrendered, only one barracks resisted fiercely, and Lord Bull ordered ten thousand people to be beheaded."

"Okay, I don't need to talk about these details. As long as he controls the barracks, let him go to the bus by himself. Let's go to the front line now, and I will meet that Ryan West, and The little West boy.
