Chapter 14 Temptation?
Earl Will reacted, but Qin Ran was not surprised.
Under the premise that Mary had already made a move, it would be strange if the Earl Will, known as the "fox", did not react.
However, the other party's "assassination" surprised Qin Ran.
To force each other to death is not a good way to deal with it. Qin Ran doesn't believe that the other party will give up power and become a "dead person".
Unless the other party has other plans.
As for what to plan?
Everything is obvious.
"The other party knows very well that in his own identity, if he is assassinated, as the successor of Warren, Mary, the princess, must have to check and worship. When this war just ended, even for safety reasons, I will definitely accompany him."
"So, besides Mary, am I also taken as a target?"
“It can even be said…”
"I'm the most important one!"
Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.
Under normal circumstances, the old earl's slick style in the past was hard to imagine that the other party would be so bold that he would do such a thing in a desperate situation.
Simply put, the other party must have something to rely on.
And this reliance must be so powerful that the other party thinks it can fight against him.
"Who will it be?"
Qin Ran looked at Mary while guessing the person hiding in the dark.
The underage princess was also looking at Qin Ran.
In the eyes of this princess, there is no worry or fear, but only thinking.
Obviously, Mary also discovered that the old Count's assassination was not simple.
“I think we need to discuss it from a long time.”
Earl Xilin said this.
Qin Ran would never object to such a cautious proposal. If there was no main task of "promise that Mary would successfully ascend to the throne within 30 days", Qin Ran would have a more appropriate way.
For example: rely on the Crow Sent to inquire about the news.
In the camp of the grassland people, the Crow Sect has spies, so among the reinforcements in the south, Qin Ran believes that such spies also exist.
And now?
But it has to be another more risky way.
Because he didn't have more time to investigate what arrangements the reinforcements in the south had.
He could only use his body as bait to lead out those arrangements.
Or, some people.
However, before that, Qin Ran still sought Mary's advice.
"Mary?"
"Listen to you."
The princess said very simply.
Her trust in Qin Ran has long exceeded others' imagination.
“It’s too risky.”
"At least one cavalry should be transferred from the Thunder Fortress camp."
Earl Xilin dissuaded.
But such dissuasion is of no use to Qin Ran and Mary.
"A cavalry?"
"Unless it directly overwhelms the reinforcements in the south in terms of quantity, it will have no effect at all."
"It will be more convenient for me to act alone."
Qin Ran shook his head and said.
"It's two people."
Mary stressed.
In response, Qin Ran nodded with a smile.
"Count me."
Earl Xilin also said, but was rejected by Qin Ran.
“Leardry needs someone who can guard it.”
"You are the most appropriate person."
Qin Ran said so.
"My Father, please give it to you for now, Your Excellency Earl."
Mary said the same.
"As you wish, Your Highness."
The young Count saluted immediately.
Later, a convoy of only a few people drove out of the palace in Lealdri.
The young Count watched the convoy leave until he could not see it at all, then turned back to the palace and began to arrange guards and patrol soldiers.
The young Count would not take it lightly for the tasks assigned by Kiran and Mary.
Although there is no such thing as the saying "Transferring the Tiger from the Mountain" in front of you, I don't know how many similar proverbs are there.
For the honor of the Xilin family, the young Count took it seriously.
...
Southern reinforcements were stationed twenty kilometers south of Leldri. In the clear weather, this huge camp was clearly seen by everyone after the convoy drove away from Leldri.
After standing in the car, Mary looked at the campsite, she turned around and returned to the car.
She held the [Sword of Thorns], which was almost as tall as her, and squinted her eyes slightly. Her appearance was somewhat similar to that of Qin Ran when she was thinking.
Not only at this time, but often, Mary is imitating some of Qin Ran’s small movements.
This is true when talking, walking, sitting and lying down.
Not entirely a worship of the strong.
There is also the learning of minors for their parents.
In a family, the reason why children are like their parents is mostly because of this kind of study. The same living environment and similar foods are unknowingly, everything becomes extremely similar.
This is a kind of inheritance.
In fact, most family heritages are like this.
And in the world before us, inheritance is far more than family.
Listening to Mary's extremely rhythmic breathing, Qin Ran couldn't help but glance.
He could hear that it was a way of cultivation.
However, Qin Ran did not ask too much, everyone has their own secrets.
Mary has.
He is no exception.
Moreover, it was far more than Mary thought.
Without making any noise, Qin Ran walked out of the carriage and sat on the side of the coachman.
"grown ups."
The snake Yi, who was driving, gathered close beside the car, said respectfully.
Such respect has long surpassed the soldiers before. After Qin Ran left, the sword-holder and backbone of the Snake Sect controlled by [Mestri's Ring] not only protected the princess as Qin Ran told him, but also did a pretty good job. According to the information quietly handed over by Fink and Tosta, the three of them solved at least four assassinations for Mary.
Where did the assassination come from? The three people who could not leave Mary without Qin Ran's order did not know.
"Assassinated?"
Qin Ran muttered in a low voice, but his eyes looked at the side of the road ahead.
Lealdry is the capital of Warren. Compared with the muddy and dirt roads in the countryside, the roads here are not only flat, but also spacious enough to accommodate two four-wheeled carriages walking side by side.
At this moment, a two-wheeled carriage fell across the road ahead.
The flipped body makes people clearly see the axle breakage.
A slow horse pulling a cart was tied to a tree next to the road, and was lowering his head to eat the grass next to the road.
There are scattered salutes on the ground.
Some packed gold and silver utensils, and some clothes.
Obviously, this carriage should be the fugitive who returned after leaving Lealdri after hearing Warrens win.
only……
Only horses, carriages and salutes were left on the road.
But I didn't see anyone.
Without Qin Ran's instructions, Fink, who was accompanying him, immediately went to investigate.
