Chapter 287 The Lonely God
The next day, Glaber got up sleepily. There were two maids waiting beside him. One was helping him get dressed, and the other was holding a plate and putting breakfast items such as rye croutons, nuts, bacon, and boiled eggs into his mouth.
Send it here.
Graboy puts out his hands when he comes to wear clothes, opens his mouth when he comes to eat, and the maid takes care of all daily life.
This is not an isolated phenomenon. In fact, many nobles have such habits. They are not really lazy, they just enjoy the feeling of being served and being superior when they are lazy.
After changing clothes and eating breakfast, Glaber touched the maid's white silk thigh, took the saber, and rode out of the executive mansion, preparing to meet with Burton on today's arrest plan.
As soon as he arrived at the Guards Corps station, Grabo suddenly found that the atmosphere today was not quite right. Not only were there several times more sentries, there were many flags, it could be said that there were three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post. There were also senior officers passing by.
They were communicating something solemnly, and the atmosphere was no different from a wartime state.
At this time, two captains of the Guards Corps passed by Grabo, and the sound of conversation was faintly heard:
"Damn you bastard, I finally caught him."
"He really threw himself into a trap. He actually dared to go to His Highness the Prince's bedroom in the middle of the night and talk nonsense to sow discord. He will definitely be doomed this time."
"What do you think His Highness will do with him?"
"Beheading the capital is too light. I think Ling Chi must be killed no matter what, and all his direct descendants must be killed. None of those people in the dungeon can escape!"
"Haha, I must execute him in public when the time comes, so that other young people know the consequences of assassinating the prince!"
Grabo couldn't help being surprised as he listened, and hurriedly went up to ask: "You two, who are you talking about? Are you talking about the Chino Administrator? Have you caught him?!"
Just as one of the captains was about to answer, another raised his hand to interrupt him and said in a deep voice to Graber: "We have no comment. If you want to know the specific situation, you can go find His Highness yourself."
"Okay, okay, I'll ask him myself." Grabo hurriedly said goodbye to the two of them, and ran all the way to the general's main tent.
Inside the account, although Bolton was injured, he had been an extremely self-disciplined soldier since he was a child. Even if he was injured, he would never stay in bed. He had already gotten up at dawn to work, and was annotating military intelligence documents one after another.
Grabo leaned forward to enter the account and asked respectfully: "Your Highness, I heard that you captured the administrator of Kino? Why didn't you announce this exciting news to the outside world?"
Bolton continued to annotate the document without raising his head, and asked nonchalantly: "Where did you hear that?"
Grabo nodded and said with a smile: "I see that there are several times more sentries outside than before. Several of the guards seemed to have mentioned it in their words. I guessed it myself."
Bolton put down his pen, snorted coldly, and said expressionlessly: "Don't make random guesses about this kind of thing in the future. It's not good for you to make random guesses, you know?"
"I know," Grabo responded quickly.
Burton continued: "You guessed it right. Chino was just arrested yesterday. He ran into my room in the middle of the night, talked nonsense, made trouble, and tried to confuse my judgment to clear his name. Ha, I
Although I am not a scheming person, how could I be instigated by him? Later in the conversation, I pretended to cater to him and asked him to relax his vigilance, and finally secretly called in personal guards to arrest him."
"Your Highness the Prince is really smart!" Grabo's voice was a little hurried, with a hint of impatience, "Do you need me to set up a execution platform in the near future?"
Bolton shook his head: "Don't worry, I have found some doubts from the confession of the Chino administrator. I suspect that there may be someone behind his assassination. It is not as simple as it seems. I still need to examine it carefully before talking."
There was an uncertain look in Grabo's eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively asked: "Excuse me, where is the Kino Administrator now?"
"He is now." Bolton paused mid-sentence and frowned, "You don't need to worry about the rest, I will arrange it. You only need to handle the daily government affairs of Thunder Cloud City. I heard Lorna say
Yes, you are a very mean person, whipping civilians at every turn!"
"Although I am only a general of the Guards Corps and have no civilian title, so I have no control over you, but the "Governor" of Fenghuo Province, Edward Troy, is my former military leader. If you continue to show off your power and bully civilians all day long, I will
But I have to talk to him for a few words."
Grabo was so frightened that his liver trembled, and he waved his hands quickly: "No, no! Never again! I will definitely be an administrator who loves the people like a son!"
"You'd better be." Bolton picked up his pen and continued to review the documents, saying nonchalantly, "Although I was shot on your territory and should be held accountable to you, you have been trying your best to cooperate in the past few days.
In the arresting work, the merits outweigh the faults. Today at 6 o'clock in the evening, I will hold a celebration banquet. You bring your colleagues with you, and I will reserve a place for you as a guest of honor."
Not only was he exempted from punishment, but he was also invited as a guest of honor. Grabo was immediately overjoyed: "I am flattered by your generosity! I will definitely arrive on time!"
"Well, go down." Bolton waved his hand.
"Farewell, Your Highness." Grabo bent down, nodded and left.
It was quiet again in the tent, except for the sound of pen tip rubbing against paper.
"What do you think?" Suddenly, Bolton spoke up.
"Click." The sound of candy being chewed came from the curtain behind Bolton, and Kino's voice came slowly: "This person is so stupid that it opened my eyes. He dug a hole and jumped in, saying that he
He is praised for being mentally retarded, but the person behind him can use the hands of such a fool to arrange the assassination plan so carefully. This man behind the scenes should not be underestimated."
Bolton: "Do you want to re-plan your subsequent plans?"
Kino: "No need for now, continue. Just don't make any mistakes on your side."
Silence returned to the tent again, and the wind occasionally blew in from outside the tent, playing with the messy papers.
"I have a question. In fact, I wanted to ask you yesterday." Bolton turned his face sideways and looked sideways at the curtain, as if he was looking at the man eating candy behind, his eyes bottomless and deep, "If, I
If your analysis of the dispute between the crown prince yesterday is not unreasonable, then between our three brothers and sisters, whose side will you side with?"
Kino: "I don't like factional fighting, and I don't take sides."
Burton: "Everyone who is asked this question will give the same answer as you and take neither side. But in fact, they have already made a bet in their hearts."
Silence, no one spoke.
Bolton: "Actually, what I want to ask the most is, does your relationship with Solan have such a good relationship now, do you have another purpose?"
"Click." Another candy was bitten into pieces. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Kino's voice seemed to have an inexplicable sadness: "It has no purpose. It's just that I was born missing something, and Solandel handed it to me.
, I also want to try to hold it in my hand and see what it feels like to own it."
Burton: "What?"
Kino: "Friends."
Bolton was silent for a long time, turned around silently, his eyes were even deeper than before, and said quietly: "Yes, even though you are just a mortal, Dusk Death, everyone respects you, just like the real Death. Once you are respected by others, you will be above others."
, there is no way to talk about family, love, friendship, or any feelings."
