Ride and Cut

Chapter 99

Leaving the convoy waiting in place, Li Cha walked into the magnificent gate of the Noble Mansion alone.

It wasn't the first time he came to this place, so he was quite familiar with the road, so he walked to the door of Sauron's room and knocked on the door.

The sound of the knuckles falling on the walnut wood was solid, and it aroused a series of echoes in the empty corridor, but there was no response for a long time.

"Lord Sauron is not here." A passing servant stopped the tea cart and kindly reminded him.

"Where did you go?"

"Your Excellency has gone to Gaoshan Castle." Li Cha has only been to the Noble Court once, but the servants in front of him obviously have an impression of him.

This is generally the case for rich and powerful servants. They are so well-trained that they are almost morbid. They will never allow guests who come to the door for the second time to be questioned about their identity.

The lord continued to ask, "When did you set off?"

"Four days ago." The servant nodded slightly, then pushed the tea cart away again.

"Wori." Li Cha scratched his head, looked at the wooden door in front of him and couldn't hold back a chuckle—according to the time, Sauron should have already arrived at the Alpine Castle. I really want to know what expression this old ghost will have when he hears "The lord is not here, he has gone to the noble garden."

"Master Li Cha, you really made it easy for me to find." A familiar voice came from the entrance of the corridor behind.

"You know, in order to get back from the Alpine Fort as soon as possible, my people and I ran to death six high-class war horses, and also used wind magic to speed up."

"Am I as charming as gold coins?" Li Cha turned his head and raised his eyebrows.

The people who came were Sauron and a few personal attendants. Their facial complexions, bloodshot eyes, and the state of their clothes all interpreted what it means to be in a hurry. Everyone was full of tiredness that could not be concealed.

There are about three or four days' journey between Alpine Fort and Cologne City. At first glance, four days back and forth is not an exaggeration. But in fact, no matter for people or horses, the more tiredness accumulated in the second half of the long journey, the more serious the speed will be. The fact that the whole journey can be completed in only four days can only show that the journey must be quite urgent and tense.

The lord originally thought that Sauron was just wandering around as he did last time, but it didn't seem to be the case.

"What happened?"

"Follow me." Sauron handed the whip to the attendant, with almost no expression on his face, took out the key, opened the door and walked in first.

Although his exhaustion was beyond words, his back was still straight, and his military temperament was stronger than ever before in Li Cha's impression.

With a snap of his fingers, a gust of wind pushed the door shut. With another snap of the fingers, the heavy curtains closed automatically. The room suddenly became dark and quiet.

The expensive magic lamp in the room senses the brightness change and automatically emits a soft beige light.

"Look at this." Sauron grabbed the parchment on the table and handed it to Richard.

This is a government order issued by the Executive Yuan of Pompeii to various places, with the words "Avenge the despicable attack that Mr. Richard suffered! Attack!"

"Are there any nobles in the kingdom with the same name as me?" The lord of Gaoshan Castle laughed, thinking it was a coincidence.

Generally speaking, "Richard" is a popular name in Pompeii, but it is generally limited to common people. I thought it was the only one in the aristocratic class, but I didn't expect that the duplication of names would be unavoidable after all.

This Li Cha probably has a high status, and the Kingdom Executive Yuan can issue a special order to him. He is either a confidant or an important minister.

"What is the same name, my good boy, this Li Cha is you!" Sauron stretched out his fingers and almost punched him in the face.

"Me?" Li Cha didn't believe it at all.

The first reaction was extremely absurd, and he burst out laughing on the spot. He didn't expect people like Sauron to make jokes. But he immediately read two more lines, and his smile immediately disappeared like ice under the scorching sun, and he looked astonished at seeing the undead.

If the name Li Cha alone has a slight chance of being the same name, how about combining it with Gao Shanbao? And what about "Brown Bear Roaring"? There is always a limit to all the coincidences in the world, how can they all collide!

And when the line of sight shifts to the end of the paper, anyone who can read can already understand: Those gorgeous rhetoric, elegant sentences, imposing parallelism, and quotations from scriptures and history are nothing more than tools used to convey a meaning——

"The Kingdom of Pompeii declares war on the Kingdom of Stuart!"

"Damn it!" Li Cha couldn't help but swear, and slapped the thick table.

Due to the excitement, the slap lost a little bit of strength, so the four legs snapped off at the same time, and the entire tabletop fell suddenly, and the air waves formed by the dust flying in the air were enough to be seen by the naked eye.

Sauron was thinking about something, but he trembled in fright from the slap, and looked at Li Cha firmly.

"Young man, be careful. This five-hundred-year-old antique table was not destroyed by war or natural disasters, but by your impulse."

"This is really..." The lord of Alpine Fort rubbed the stubble on his chin, not knowing what to say.

After all, it is a record in black and white on the official official document, and the content is related to the national system, and there is no possibility of falsification. That is to say, Mr. Richard has really been a little butterfly at a historical point, and the flap of his wings caused a war between the two great powers!

As a pioneer lord who has been in the wilderness for a long time and has no sense of existence in the upper layers of Pompeii. To be closely connected with such a major event that is destined to be recorded in history is like expecting a toad that wants to eat a swan to open its mouth and swallow a whole dragon.

His first reaction was a guilty conscience. After all, compared to the size of the two countries, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gaoshanbao is a sesame seed - is there a tenth chance of surviving a sesame seed that sparks a fierce battle between giant beasts?

But he soon became complacent. After all, a war was launched directly in his name. This kind of treatment made Li Cha flattered.

The lord turned over the official document and read it twice, and suddenly found something was wrong, "However, how did the Executive Yuan know about this?"

It is true that Alpine Fort is going to take this battle as a typical example, but they have just arrived in Cologne today, and the new story has just been circulated from the tavern today, and it will not exceed five hours at most.

The proposed date at the end of this official document was two days ago, when the convoy was trekking through the wilderness, struggling with mud and weeds.

"Deserters." A word popped out of Sauron's mouth. "Some deserters were not caught. If they were lucky enough to escape into the wilderness, the news would naturally reach those who should know."

"Our Majesty is quite defensive." Li Cha leaned on the back of the chair, pursed his lips and laughed.

"Hmph." Sauron sneered twice, "Protection? It's really that simple!"

"What's the meaning?"
