Chapter 104 (1/2)
The cold wind roared, and the cold silver hook was hung under the dome of Shenlin castle. The snow covered Castle became much colder at night, and the noise for a long time could no longer be heard.
In the moonlight, only a few windows of the castle were still glowing, completely shrouded by the night. The castle guards patrolling with torches in the cold wind could see nothing but themselves.
Under the cover of the night, a group of carefully avoided the dark shadow of the patrol soldiers and quietly approached the granary of Shenlin castle, the only place with fire in the whole castle.
Even in peacetime, the guard near the granary is still very tight, not to mention that now ruwen's three guard knights and two castle guards guard in shifts, and the defense measures are extremely tight.
The granary is the lifeline of the whole Shenlin castle. Without it, Lu Wen will lose the capital to fight against the nobles of the whole Shenlin castle, and it is impossible for those civilians to stand beside him regardless of everything.
Sir Aaron's departure is not a secret. These nobles are also lined up in the castle. What they want is to find out the meeting of the count and his two confidant.
From the very beginning, this ”reform” was not just about a few pieces of land, but about who held the ruling power led by the count of shenlinbao.
At the edge of life and death, the nobles of Shenlin castle are finally ready to take risks!
”Have you brought everything?”
The one eyed dragon walking in the front whispered behind him, desperately lowering his voice. A flustered guy hurried over and threw the heavy sack on the ground.
Flint, butter, torch, and even two bottles of kindling agent engraved with the words ”vimpal College”. This bag is enough to blow up the whole granary!
”Very good.” the one eyed Dragon nodded and glanced at several faces in front of him one by one: ”when the guards of the castle change shifts, we'll slip in.”
”I have bought one of the captains, and then he will open a back door for us. The guard Knights will never find it - and then we will slip in and give our count a big gift!”
He said this with yellow teeth and a ferocious expression. The nobles around also smiled like hyenas.
Before long, a group of castle guards with torches came to the granary gate. After greeting the guard knight in charge, they replaced the original guard.
The nobles who saw the opportunity no longer waited and avoided the sight of those guard knights. The leading one eyed dragon walked forward fearing his head and tail. Seeing his guard captain looking around, he waved to the one eyed dragon to come over.
”You haven't been found?”
”Don't worry, no one knows.” the smiling one eyed dragon stuffed a handful of silver coins into his hand.
The captain of the guard turned and walked to the back door of the granary as if nothing had happened. He pushed a little gap and put a group of people in.
Just after the last one slipped in, the narrow door was closed immediately, which startled the guys standing behind and swallowed with lingering fear: ”will he still remember to open the door for us?”
”Don't worry, this guy charged me a lot of money, and he's still my cousin's nephew. He won't pit us.” the one eyed dragon replied confidently, with a flame burning in his pupils, almost crazy.
”Now, let's have a big fight --!”
The complicit nobles also lit torches one after another, and the flames lit up a dark granary.
There was a cold wind, and the shivering one eyed dragon couldn't help closing his only eye. When he opened his eyes again, all the torches went out.
The dead granary returned to darkness, and all the nobles looked at each other.
”... wine is so drunk, but it gives you courage ~”
The young voice sings a quiet song, mixed with a trace of fatigue and laziness. I don't know where it floats into people's ears. The one eyed dragon suddenly woke up and immediately pulled out his long sword.
”Who is it, come out --!”
Similarly, the nobles who responded also took out their weapons and surrounded them in a circle trembling. In the lonely granary, there was no voice to answer them.
The stunned one eyed dragon couldn't help laughing. It seemed to embolden himself. The palms of his hands holding the handle of the sword were all sweaty.
Is it just an illusion? Yes... How can there be children in this granary? I must be too nervous, just hallucinating.
The nobles smiled at each other, but there was a little fear under the smile. The coaxing laughter echoed under the barn, which was creepy in the dead silence.
