This is the third day Alan arrived in the mountain city.
It was night, and the lights of the City Lord's Mansion were bright. In the study, the warmth radiated from the floor and walls, and even in the end of winter, I didn't feel the cold. There is a temperature-controlled room in this castle mansion. In winter, the generated steam flows through the pipes laid to the main rooms of the castle mansion. In the winter, walking around in the city lord’s mansion, even wearing thin clothes, it doesn’t feel cold. This is especially true in Reckard's study. The old earl is only dressed in light clothes and sits at the table looking at the secret reports sent by Jatin.
This is a spy sent by the person who monitors Allen. As the army expands, Rekerd is also trying to build his own intelligence system. This spy team has only been established for more than half a year. It is not in scale and has limited capabilities, but it can still report by monitoring one or two people on its own territory. After being screened by Jatin, the report before the Rekerd case was simple and clear.
Taking time as the axis, where Allen has been in these three days and who he has contacted with are detailed in the report. Reckerd read several of them repeatedly. After reading these reports, Rekerd hummed heavily.
It just so happened that the eldest son Yopney pushed in and heard this heavy hum, knowing that his father was in a bad mood. Joppney made a gesture to Jatin, who hurriedly stepped back. He walked to the earl case and asked: "What happened?"
Reckerd pushed the espionage in front of Yopney and pointed his finger at the places that should be paid attention to. Yopney glanced across, and frowned: "This Sir Allen had contact with Remington and went to the Diamond Queen Theatre last night. Is it to see Parson?"
"I told Parson not to entangle the showgirl, what kind of woman does he want." Reckard shook his head: "Look, if it wasn't for that Ollie, it would be so easy for outsiders to grasp his whereabouts. . But what makes me mind is that these two boys kept silent about their contact with Allen!"
Yopney thought for a while, and said, "Parsons, I think it’s because of Ollie’s relationship, so I dare not mention it to your father. As for Remington, that would be fun. He was the day before yesterday. In the evening, I asked my teacher about the crime, and I learned about the army my father sent outside the city. Could it be the ghost of Sir Allen?"
"Furthermore, although this **** did nothing in the mountain city, he made it clear that he wanted to provoke the relationship between our father and son. I hate those two boys, one has little roots, the other is timid, both are I can’t help the mud on the wall! I had contact with my dead enemy, but I didn’t even tell me the father. This is going to kill me alive."
A smile flashed in Yopney's eyes, but he said: "They are just ignorant."
"Never mind Parson, this kid Remington is not too young, and he still doesn't understand the importance? I think he is determined to fight against me, or he is not allowed to go out in recent days. Send someone I watched him closely and told him to stay at home honestly. If this kid wants to be verbose, he will break his leg for me. How can he be locked up to the Viscount Lord and leave." De knocked on the table and said again: "Also, go and inform Gonzal, let his people stay in the barracks for me, and they are not allowed to step out of the mountain city. If they let that guy find out, the imperial cavalry might be tomorrow. Will drive to the foot of our mountain city."
Yopney nodded: "I have already notified Gonzal, and he knows the importance if I want to come."
Reckerd sighed and said: "If only Remington was half as sensible as you, I can breathe a sigh of relief as a father."
"It's getting late, you can go back and rest."
"Don't work too hard either." Yopni smiled slightly and walked out of the study. When the door closed, he glanced at the old man in the crack of the door and walked to his bedroom happily. He did inform the alien general, but he also reached an agreement with Gonzal. Of course, these agreements are unknown to Rekerd.
"This old thing keeps saying that he wants to entrust me with a heavy responsibility. Now even a legion commander has not let me go on. Father, father, you are too exhausted, can you still hold on Can these powers go to the coffin?" Closing the bedroom, Yopni murmured: "It doesn't matter if you don't give it to me, I just take it myself."
The mountain road is vast.
The Pan Snake Mountain Road has almost become the private road of the Earl of Laked’s family, down to the people, and up to the rich noble merchants in the city. If it is not necessary, no one will take the Snake Highway. Besides, it's lifeless here, and it's covered by cold mist at night, and whoever is full will come to Pansheshan Road. Rekerd simply set up a gatehouse at the entrance of the mountain road and sent guards to guard it. Unless it is a member of Rekerd's own family, outsiders need to pass in and out.
It's the end of winter, but the weather hasn't shown any signs of warming up. Instead, it's getting colder. Especially the mountain city is built on the hillside, and it is even colder at night. The cold fog on the Pansheshan Road is deeply locked, and the visual distance is no more than five meters. Even though there is a street lamp every three meters on the mountain road, in the fog of night, this street lamp is faint like a ghost fire, and can barely illuminate the square inch of the ground.
In the guard post at the entrance of the mountain road, two soldiers were smoking their cotton-padded jackets. In this terrible weather, watching the night is hard work. The guards of the Pansheshan Road are all drawn in turns from the barracks. Such jobs that have no oil and water to fish and suffer from freezing are all placed on the heads of the hapless people who are excluded from the barracks. It is said that they are on duty in turn, but every time the duty table sent by the officer comes and goes, they are all familiar names.
Sometimes, there were a few bright heads, and they knew how to stuff gold coins into the pockets of the officers on duty, and they were removed from the duty list. More people can only complain verbally, but nothing can be changed, and they have to suffer the living sin by Pan Snake Mountain Road.
Tonight is no different from the past, but the first two soldiers in the post feel the atmosphere is depressed and don't know what's going on. Then I heard footsteps, coming from outside again and again. The older one stabbed the younger colleague next to him: "Go and see."
"Why didn't you go?"
Then gave him a kick, and the young man cursed and lost his cigarette. He grabbed a war knife, but he was so cold that he burned his hands. So he picked up a fire gun, tightened his coat and walked over. Outside the post, a horse bolt was erected at the entrance of the mountain road. The soldier held the wooden bolt in his hand and looked forward, and a figure gradually appeared in the thick fog.
A man of the same young age, holding a long knife in his hand, just walked with his head buried in it.
"Stop!" The soldier shouted, "Are you blind? I can't tell that this is the winding snake mountain road, with the city lord mansion above it. This is not a place for you to wander around, hurry and roll, I am too lazy to be with you Don't care. If you want to change to someone else, you must not get beaten up."
The man grinned: "Just say this to you, you don't have to die tonight."
"What did you say?" The soldier pursed his ears, a little bit unable to hear the man's words. He waved the fire impatiently. The gun said: "Leave soon, or I will shoot."
The man really didn't seem to understand, so he hugged the knife and walked forward. The soldier scolded, but he didn't really shoot. The surroundings were deadly quiet now, and even the City Lord's Mansion was listening as soon as the shot was fired. To let the old earl know that he was only shooting a madman, he must not shed a layer of skin. At the moment, bypassing the horse stop, using the gun as a stick, stabbed the visitor's lower abdomen with a shot, trying to knock him fainted and drag him away.
Unexpectedly, the **** of the rifle came to the person's body, as if it was pierced into a piece of cooked skin, but it was a lot of distance between the rifle and the person, and the soldier looked panicked. The light in his eyes gradually lit up, and he raised his head in amazement, only to see that the light was shining from between the underclothes of the person in front of him.
The man smiled slightly, and suddenly it shined brightly!
A majestic heat burst out, and the soldiers flew out screaming. Gao Gao flew over the horse stop and fell under a street lamp a few meters away. The veteran in the sentry heard shouts from outside, and ran out with a gun cursing, just in time to see a group of flames slowly shrinking, and finally condensed into a complex light pattern on the uninvited guest.
The man let out a sigh of heat from his mouth, and suddenly the lights in the sentry were lit up, and the remaining salary that had been almost extinguished in the stove suddenly burst into flames. More than that, the street lights on the Pan Snake Mountain Road are also lit up again and again. Then there was a roar, the lampshade of the street lamp burst, and a flame burst into the sky. The Pan Snake Mountain Road suddenly brightened, and the flame dissipated the cold fog. The smoke from the veteran's mouth fell to the ground, and he looked at the strange scenery from ear to ear. At this moment, every street lamp is like a torch, winding up the mountain road, like a flame corridor.
All the way to the peak of fire!
Allen smiled and said, "Is it fair and honest to hit the field like this?" Then he moved forward, the sky fire gas machine naturally surged forward, and the horse bolt first ignited spontaneously without fire. The wooden cork, which had been wet by the cold water vapor, was difficult to ignite, but this time it slapped like dry firewood, and broke in the middle when Allen approached. Allen stepped over the broken wood and passed the soldier. After he took ten steps, the soldier knew how to jump up and pointed his gun at Alan's back and said, "Stop."
The voice ended, and there was a loud noise in the rear. The soldier was knocked to the ground by the shock wave, and the mountain was shaken. When everything subsided, looking back, the sentry post had been blown flat, and flames were blowing desperately from the cracks in the rock pile. The soldier was pale, looking at a hand under the stone, and suddenly Allen said just now.
You can live tonight!
In other words, besides him, probably many people will die? The soldier finally collapsed, crying and screaming, dropping his guns, and staggering in the opposite direction.
Allen took the knife and walked up the road. As he moved forward, the street lights were blasted by the sky's fire, burning brighter and more prosperous. When he passed by, the kerosene in the lamp burned out, and the street lamps went out one by one. So on the mountain road, with Allen as the dividing line. There is light in front of him, and darkness behind him!
