Seeing the eagerness in his eyes, Chen Xi picked up the books that Mitchlove had helped collect and prepared to study them carefully.
But before he took two steps, Mitchell suddenly looked up and called him.
"and many more!"
"What else?"
Chen Xi turned around.
"I have one more request!"
Mitch Love's expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Chen Xi observed for a long time without changing his expression, and then he answered without knowing whether it was okay or not: "Speak."
"Vlad came to Cannia with the queen's ice coffin. After the war is won..."
Mitchlove clenched his fists and said solemnly: "You must hand over the queen's body to me!"
"You fucking..."
Chen Xi's expression was stunned, just like an old man on the subway looking at his phone.
Are all these money-spending bastards in Loslak playing such perverted games?
Chapter 436 The Bitter Meat Scheme
"Bart, Simon, Portman, and General Shania, for gathering a crowd to spread rumors, slandering the emperor, and disrupting the morale of the army, are now sentenced to 100 lashes and demoted one rank. The soldiers under their command will be commanded by General Ackerman and General Carl respectively..."
In the vanguard camp, several nobles in single clothes were dragged onto the execution platform by soldiers, their eyes full of resentment.
"beat!"
Mitchell was sitting on the starting stand with an expressionless face, throwing down the execution token.
The executioner immediately raised the spiked whip and whipped the men hard on their backs.
With a crisp "snap" sound, the latter's clothes were torn apart and his back was beaten to pieces.
However, they were all tough guys. They didn't say a word in the face of such extreme punishment, with deep defiance burning in their eyes.
This made their former subordinates and soldiers feel heartbroken and they couldn't help but feel indignant for them in their hearts.
"Isn't it just a few words in private? Why is the punishment so severe?"
"General Bart has been demoted. How can we fight this war?"
"Karl is just an idiot. I don't want to be led by him."
"What on earth is the commander-in-chief doing?"
Due to authority, the soldiers did not dare to speak out.
But when Prince Leslie saw their expressions, he felt something was wrong. He whispered to Mitchlove, "General, this is not the right time to torture us. What did they say happened to our father?"
Michilov glanced at him, turned his head with an unchanged expression, and whispered, "Have you heard that Bernardo was summoned by the emperor and was skinned alive for the crime of disrespecting the queen?"
"Forehead……"
Leslie paused and asked, "Do you think this is true?"
To be fair, Bernardo has a good reputation and is a very tactful person. He should not have secretly kept the queen's indecent photos and then provoked the king.
Isn’t this too stupid?
“Whether it’s true or not, the news has already spread.
Bernardo saved Bart's life when he was down and out, and the nobles he teamed up with to investigate were also good friends with Bernardo. I was afraid that they would become unstable factors after knowing the truth, so I could only suppress them temporarily by making an error." Mitchell explained.
"Ugh……"
Leslie scratched his temple, feeling a slight headache.
He probably understood what Mitchell meant. Matters involving Flora were very troublesome, and he had to react for fear of being implicated.
Otherwise, if these people expressed dissatisfaction when Vlad arrived, he would definitely be the target of anger.
"And there is one more thing, I don't know whether I should say it or not..." Mitchell hesitated.
"what?"
Leslie frowned.
"Ok."
Mitchell gave his cronies a warning, and they immediately convened and cast a shielding magic circle.
Then, Mitchell said mysteriously: "I suspect... Bernardo was wrongly accused. There is a traitor in our army."
"what?"
This thief crying "stop thief" made Leslie's pupils shrink instantly.
He uneasily changed his sitting position to the right and frowned, "What do you mean?"
"If Bernardo really did something wrong, how could he be so foolish as to provoke and go to see the king, only to end up being executed?"
Mitch Love raised doubts and analyzed: "He must feel that he has a clear conscience, so he accepted the summons.
His Majesty the King would not bring back any scandal against the Queen, and even we should not know about it, but we know it anyway, so there must be someone else who is provoking and spreading rumors!"
"if it is like this……"
Leslie was terrified and said, "Then you shouldn't punish Bart, otherwise it will cause instability in the army."
“I know Bart and his people are innocent, they want to cause division and weaken our power.
That's why I decided to take advantage of the situation and lure out the mastermind.
After last night's interrogation, their confessions were consistent. The rumor first spread from... three centurions under Jones, but they were already dead when I investigated. "Mitchell continued.
"Jones?"
Leslie frowned.
This is his person, he shouldn't betray him.
"I'm not sure yet, but Your Highness, this matter is not suitable for me to investigate, otherwise it will alert the enemy."
Michilav took a deep breath, looked at the generals being tortured with a serious expression, and said, “I will be responsible for comforting Bart, and the offensive will be temporarily slowed down in the next few days.
If the traitor in the army is not found out, things may go wrong in the final decisive battle.
The Emperor also needs you to communicate with him, don't let those spies succeed in their attempt to sow discord."
"This……"
Leslie couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart as he recalled Bernardo's fate.
The previous things were fine, but explaining Bernardo’s innocence to Vlad might be a bit of a headache.
However, Mitchell discovered so many suspicious points and made a careful plan to wait for the spy to jump in.
As a prince, it would be unreasonable for him not to respond.
So he glared at Mitchlove fiercely, and his expression became serious: “I will pretend to have a disagreement with you and investigate the matter myself.
If my men were really bribed, I would not be lenient. "
"Ah."
Mitchell turned his head calmly and looked at the execution ground.
Little did he know that the prey he really wanted to catch had already been hooked.
……
The offensive was suspended that night, and the soldiers were allowed to drink as an exception, but the amount was limited.
Jones adjusted his belt and walked out of an exquisite tent.
His face was red from being drunk, and there was still a lingering smell of cheap perfume on his body, with a stern smile on his lips.
Apparently, he was very pleased with the captured Devia prostitute in the tent.
Due to the revelry tonight, most of the guards around were withdrawn.
Jones looked up at the empty officers' tent area. The wind was a little chilly in the middle of the night, and he couldn't help but sigh, "The streets are so quiet, there aren't many people."
"There is a scroll in your clothes. Destroy it without anyone noticing, or you will die!"
A voice suddenly sounded in his mind, and he couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman.
"reel?"
Jones' heart skipped a beat and he looked around vigilantly, searching for the source of the sound, while subconsciously reaching into his pocket.
Sure enough, he touched a palm-sized magic scroll.
Combined with the current abnormal situation, Jones immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Damn it, who wants to harm me!"
Jones used his magic power to raise the temperature of his fingertips, hoping to destroy the thing silently.
But at this moment, the guards, sensing the magical fluctuations, suddenly rushed out from the darkness and rushed towards him aggressively.
"Oops!"
Jones cried out that something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to resist.
But as several binding magics hit him, his shoulders felt like they were being pressed down by a heavy weight, and his neck and body were also pressed down by the halberd, pinning him to the ground.
"Hey, hey, hey! Stop it! You're making a mistake!"
Jones tried hard to explain himself, but he couldn't move at all.
Then he saw a woman with disheveled hair being pushed out of the military tent by the guards and forced to kneel beside him.
It's that Devia military prostitute!
The captain of the guard walked out from the back of the crowd and stopped in front of Leslie, reporting in a low voice: "Your Highness, this is a third-level warlock."
"Warlock?"
Jones looked at the woman in surprise.
Isn't this an ordinary noble girl?
How could he be a warlock?
At this time, the girl raised her head and cursed Leslie with a face full of resentment: "I curse you! I curse all of you butchers to have boils on your heads, maggots in your stomachs, and die of festering all over your body!"
After she finished speaking, she was kicked hard on the left cheek, and her head was pressed to the ground by the long spear, and she had a mouthful of dirt.
Leslie gave her a cold look and then walked over to Jones.
"Your Highness..."
"Ah."
Leslie raised his hand and gestured to stop, then bent down and took out the scroll from the latter's clothes and looked at it carefully, his expression becoming increasingly cold.
It recorded the news that several of Bart's generals were executed by Mitchell, and arranged the next plan for the accomplices in the main army.
"Listen to my explanation..."
"Jones."
Leslie interrupted Jones for the second time, his tone was not harsh, but his authority was evident without anger.
"You make me very disappointed."
"There was a voice that told me..."
"take away!"
Following Leslie's order, Jones and the girl from Devia were taken away by the guards.
Behind a military tent, Chen Xi was looking at the battered girl and gently closed his eyes.
"I received your wish."
