Chapter 089. Two different conspiracies
When Kant led the team out of the mansion and was about to leave towards the city gate, many eyeliners who had been waiting outside the mansion to probe suddenly left in the shadows and corners.
Including the 5 hooded men who had been eyeing Kant when they first came to Jianshi Pass before.
That's not the only one stalking, though.
Among the pedestrians outside the official residence, several civilians in shabby clothes also hurried away with their heads bowed.
It looks like it's the same as usual.
But in fact, in this small stone pass, there are layers of waves.
Basement.
These 5 thin men with hoods are reporting.
The man sitting in the chair nodded, and his tone was a little lazy: "So, you don't know what Baron Kant and Baron Dylan talked about?" ”
"I'm sorry, my lord, but there's nothing we can do."
Of the five thin men, the man at the head was ashamed.
"No, no need to apologize." But the leader sitting in the chair shook his head slightly: "The five of you are doing a good job, after all, Baron Dylan, a hillbilly, takes his official residence very seriously, and it is impossible to insert a few spies." ”
The candles on the table flickered, and the light appeared in this room.
Silence in the basement.
The spy leader sat in his chair and pondered for a moment, but then made up his mind: "You are waiting for me here. ”
"Yes." The spies responded.
He stood up with his chair in his hands, took the cane beside him, and limped towards some of the wooden doors beside him, apparently a crippled man.
But these five spies did not dare to show disdain, and still waited respectfully.
The spy leader slowly pushed open the wooden door.
Inside is another basement.
There are cabinets, tables and chairs, and a few more wooden doors, as if it were an underground labyrinth.
The spy leader was already familiar with the route.
In the dark compartment of the cupboard, he took out a box the size of a human head, and when he opened it, there was a huge crystal ball, flashing with a faint blue light, and with a few of his movements, it gradually glowed with layers of light.
A muffled voice rang out in the room.
Appears to be talking to the inside of the crystal ball.
After a few moments, the halo faded and the room was quiet again.
The spy leader put the box back and returned to the room where he was before, limped to the chair and sat down, and said lightly: "Let Miss Jacqueline act with you, in the barren desert, the young hero will lend a helping hand in the face of the beautiful lady who has been bullied." ”
"Yes, sir." The five spies nodded.
"Go ahead and do it." The leader of the spies waved his hand and motioned for the spies to leave.
In the empty room, there was a bit of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
For these young aristocrats who have just had their own rights, they are very willing to show their strength and pride like the classic scenes in the novel, and the tone of heroes saving beauty is simple and effective.
………………
But it's in the slums of the Rock Pass.
Filthy sewage runs rampant through the streets, and a faint, pungent stench is present in the shacks on either side.
Pedestrians passing by were in rags.
These are the bankrupt poor people who live here, with indifferent eyes and no vitality.
Even if he is alive, he is only surviving.
But just on the side of the slum, in a slightly larger house made of wood, more than 40 thin men were gathering, looking respectfully at the four burly men sitting on chairs in front of them.
If Kant had been here, they would have recognized these 4 burly men.
For it was at dinner last night and breakfast this morning that Kant met them in the hall of the lords.
Although he didn't open his mouth to communicate, he could vaguely recognize him based on his face.
These 4 guys,
It is the vassal knight to which Baron Dylan belongs!
It was also in the hall of the lords that the four knights who looked at Salander's rider with greedy eyes made a deep impression on Kant, who was actually secretly alert, and it was absolutely impossible to forget it in a short time.
Kant was speculating at the time that he might be in trouble.
And now, he was right.
"With this vote, we'll be able to get out of this damn rocky pass."
The vassal knight at the head spoke, and said with a gloomy face: "I know that Viscount Wayne, who is in charge of the North County, is very dissatisfied with the baron Dylan, and if we take refuge in the past, we may have a chance to obtain our own knight domain." ”
The other person also said: "That's right, Viscount Wayne will definitely canonize the villages near the Jianshi Pass to be knights for us, unlike the damned Dylan, who hasn't mentioned the canonization of knights for 5 years!" ”
Speaking of this, all four of them were angry.
About 5 years after coming to the Jianshi Pass, although he was recruited as a subordinate knight, he was not actually canonized.
To have no fiefdom is to have no real admit, to rely entirely on Baron Dylan's men, and to obey his various commands, is like a wandering knight hired for money.
There is a world of difference between a knight with a knight's collar and a knight without a fief!
The former is the real aristocratic reserve.
And the latter is nothing more than a mercenary with high military force.
Therefore, the four of them have long been dissatisfied with Baron Dylan, and they are no longer willing to continue to stay in this barren stone pass, and want to go directly to Viscount Wayne to gangster luck, and become real knights because of the discord between the two, obtain their own knightly territory, and have their own mining village.
"Now that there are so many of us, let's do it!"
Finally, these 4 vassal knights made up their minds, and looked at the 40 thin men in front of them, although they all had the color of famine on their faces, as long as they were armed, the momentum was okay.
They are not good people in the first place.
Before becoming vassal knights, they killed on the battlefield and even robbed caravans for money.
Even if you come to the Jianshi Pass, you will occasionally return to your old business.
Sometimes the bandit gangs that mysteriously appear in various places, loot only and then mysteriously disappear, and are also related to these vassal knights who are short of money, even if the lord knows about it, he will turn a blind eye.
It's not a caravan that plunders its own territory, and it will only leave a reputation for being stingy if you care about it.
This is also the main reason for the underdevelopment of commerce in the Lion Principality.
Even on the Resniston River, river bandits in disguise can occasionally be found, and if it weren't for the establishment of a river patrol team in Lionheart City, it is estimated that the economic lifeline of this lion principality would have been hit.
The banditry in the Lion Principality is really serious.
Of course, Kant did not know that his whereabouts had been targeted by people with ulterior motives.
He was also leading people to buy some things at the market at the Jianshi Pass.
For example, logging axes and farm tools are all materials that are urgently needed in the sentry oasis, and it is very useful to buy 50 tools first, whether it is for logging or farming, or collecting coarse salt.
It's just a mountain path on both sides of the rocky pass, and two teams of people with different affiliations are heading to the desert without leaving a trace.
They have to prepare in advance.
