Chapter 1258 Schemer
After Lin Chi’s nonsense, Shen Wenchong finally reluctantly accepted his rhetoric.
However, Shen Wenchong was still opposed to Lin Chi’s sudden decision to recruit assassins. As for why he said that, just look at his attitude towards the two children.
“Don’t look around when you walk. If I find out that you two are plotting to assassinate the young master, don’t want your heads!”
“Yes, yes…” the long-haired child walking beside said in a low voice, “We wouldn’t do that.”
The white-clothed man leading the horse stared alertly at the somewhat rickety figures of the two children, while Lin Chi walked behind Shen Wenchong, separated from the two “Assassins” who had just been recruited.
Now the body of this child is too weak in combat power. Lin Chi naturally wouldn’t take his life as a bet when he didn’t know whether the other party wanted to submit to him.
“Young Master, get on the horse.” Shen Wenchong pointed to the brown horse he was leading: “The wildfire has rested.”
With the assistance of Shen Wenchong, Lin Chi sat on horseback again, grabbed the reins and tried to control the strong beast.
Because of his short stature, Lin Chi’s feet couldn’t step on the stirrups at all, which looked funny. But a rope hanging from the saddle can be used as a “safety belt”.
Perhaps the player brought his own “riding bonus”. Lin Chi, who had never ridden a horse in the real world, quickly adapted to the “operation” of this horse, driving Shen Wenchong’s horse and walking in the other three. Next to people.
“Where are you going now?” Lin Chi asked.
“Young Master, let’s go back to the guard station first.” Shen Wenchong replied immediately.
“You don’t trust me?” Lin Chi frowned slightly.
“I am your personal guard, but also a member of the guard.” Shen Wenchong’s face was solemn: “Even if you say that, I must first confirm it.”
“Really?” Lin Chi looked down at the two children walking in front: “If they rebel, I will be chopped into meat sauce as soon as I enter. Are you willing to take the responsibility of’killing the young master’? ”
As soon as he said this, Shen Wenchong lowered his head and remained silent.
Naturally, he knew very well that if the guards really betrayed the young master, and the act of taking the young master back by themselves, it would be tantamount to “delivery to the door.” At that time, both himself and Young Master might be killed directly.
“Hey, what are you talking about?” The child who had been resisting before said impatiently: “What ‘Young Master’? Who are you?”
“Shut up.” Shen Wenchong scolded: “No one is talking to you!”
Hearing the boy’s words, Lin Chi suddenly thought of a new question: “Are there many people in the city who know what I look like?”
“There should not be much here in the slum area, but you only participated in the celebration in the city three months ago. There should be many people in the city who can recognize you, the young master.” Shen Wenchong replied.
“alright, I understand.”
As Lin Chi said, he turned over and jumped off his horse, suddenly bending over to grab a smear of loess from the ground and pat on his face.
“Young Master, what are you doing?” Shen Wenchong hurried forward: “You don’t need to do this!”
“Someone may be murdering me.” Lin Chi said as he took off his blue dome hat and threw it aside, then he smeared some dust on himself: “You should also pretend to be better, Shen Wenchong.”
“Please trust the guard…” Shen Wenchong sighed, but after all he did not forcibly stop Lin Chi’s actions.
The four thoughtful people continued to march towards the city, and a high wall in the distance appeared in the sight of everyone.
The wall is close to 20 meters high by sight. It is not so much a barrier to defend against enemy attacks, but more like a barrier against giants. Obviously, this is the “precipice” between the urban area and the slums that cut off the city of Flamewind.
“Later, we will say that we are kidnapped children, let alone the young master, do you understand?” Lin Chi gave orders to Shen Wenchong.
Shen Wenchong seemed to want to say something, but in the end he nodded silently and led the horse towards the tall city wall.
After walking along the road for a while, finally arrived in front of the heavy Dark Iron City gate, and the four of them were stopped by the guards at the gate without any suspense.
“Indicate your identity.” The guard in silver light armor showed a pair of alert eyes under the helmet. The line of sight passed through Shen Wenchong’s face and swept over the three children below.
“Below is the lord’s guard.” Shen Wenchong took out a metal nameplate from his arms and held it in front of the soldiers: “This is… the child I rescued.”
“I was kidnapped by the untouchables outside the wall? It’s really pitiful…” The guard sighed with emotion.
As soon as these words came out, the two children clenched their fists, but wisely they did not choose to attack immediately. As for Lin Chi, he lowered his head and kept rubbing his eyes, looking like a “poor little” who was crying.
In order not to be recognized by the guards, he chose to fool the opponent’s eyes through acting. The guard checked Shen Wenchong’s nameplate, then glanced at the three dirty children, and finally nodded:
“go in.”
Lin Chi winked at Shen Wenchong, and the four of them walked slowly into the city gate and stepped onto the wide road paved with square rocks.
Just before the four entered the door, the guard suddenly spoke again:
“You are really incompetent, guard.”
“What’s the matter?” Shen Wenchong turned his head violently, and Lin Chi also stopped immediately.
“Ask me what’s wrong? Don’t you know?” The guard sighed, and his voice became hoarse with pain: “The young lord was intercepted by bandits in the wild when he was out hunting. Now it is the general for the time being. I haven’t decided what to do to take over control of Flamewind City.”
“what?”
Hearing the shocking news, Shen Wenchong’s face twisted, his mouth opened into an O shape, and Lin Chi, standing beside him, calmly tugged at the corner of Shen Wenchong’s clothes.
——It seems that my worst prediction has come true. The gangster who suddenly appeared in the forest before was really arranged by the power grabber!
Shen Wenchong looked back at Lin Chi, then at the soldier, as if he hadn’t reacted yet, and slowly said, “But…”
“I want to go home…” Lin Chi pretended to cry.
“You better go, go back to pick up the crime and be punished.” The guard glanced at Lin Chi: “According to the general’s character, the entire lord guard may be executed.”
“Oh, yes, I’m leaving now.”
Shen Wenchong, who was awakened from the dream, left the city gate with the three children, tied his horse to the wooden stake on the side of the road, squatted weakly, and hugged his head with his hands:
“Unexpectedly, they actually…would do such a thing.”
“This is also human nature.” Lin Chi accepted it calmly: “Think about it, if power is held by a child who has no ability to resist, would you try to usurp power?”
“I would never do this!” Shen Wenchong gritted his teeth tightly: “I am willing to dedicate everything I have for the young master!”
“Yeah, I know.” Lin Chi smiled and looked up at the busy street: “I know you are uncomfortable, but don’t be impulsive. We have to plan for a long time and find a way to expose the conspiracy.”
The young master, who had just ascended the throne not long ago, was tricked by the “adults” who have been coveting power. This kind of inexplicable plot development was beyond Lin Chi’s expectation.
However, since it’s not going well on my own side, other players probably won’t go anywhere smoothly. The first task now is to regain control of Flamewind City.
Lin Chi was thinking about it, and saw that the task reminder had already appeared in front of him:
Start the task: the ruler of Flamewind City.
The thief with unpredictable intentions tried to assassinate the young lord and seize the lord’s position. Kill them, let the people witness your power, and sit on the throne of Flamewind City again.
Task reward: Open the “Lord Mode”.
——It seems that this so-called lord mode should be the “commander mode” that governs the entire city. However, it is not so easy to regain control of Flamewind City.
“Young Master, I’m sorry…” Shen Wenchong lowered his head: “I didn’t expect the situation to develop like this…”
“It’s okay, at least you saved me.” Lin Chi patted Shen Wenchong’s back comfortably, and then looked at the two children who had been standing next to him.
After hearing the conversation just now, the two children finally understood who they were recruiting. Both of them stared roundly, as if they didn’t believe it at all, and pointed their fingers at Lin Chi’s face:
“You… are you…”
“Be quiet.” Lin Chi reminded: “If we are recognized, our lives will be accounted for here.”
“Young Master, let’s find a hotel to rest.” After experiencing the process from shock to frustration, Shen Wenchong finally got a little bit of energy: “I didn’t expect you to be right…”
“Well, let’s rest for a while, I’m also a little tired.” Lin Chi nodded.
As the lord’s guard, Shen Wenchong wanted to take out the money from the hotel, naturally, he took out a dozen silver coins and put them on the counter. Originally, he saw three dirty children with a disgusting expression. The shop owner also smiled immediately:
“Here, please, two go to the room.”
Lin Chi and Shen Wenchong live in the same room, and the two children live in the other room. The first-class room in this hotel is very spacious, and there is also a tub for bathing in it, but that’s all.
“You guys have a bath.” Lin Chi stood in front of the door and said to the two small heads that were poking out from the other door: “If you want to run, please, but I think you also want to see it. ?”
“Of course I won’t run, I’m going to kill the general!” The child with messy hair waved his fist enthusiastically.
“Be careful in words and deeds.” Shen Wenchong said with a sullen face: “We are not the only ones who live here.”
Turning around and closing the door, Lin Chi stood in the room, staring at his face from the bronze mirror hung on the wall.
The “Young Master” who came into view was not much different from what he looked like when he was a child. The long hair bundled in the back of his head is very conspicuous, reaching up to the waist.
The young lord’s long braid had been hidden in the hat before, and finally couldn’t hide it after throwing away the hat. Looking at the dusty and graceful face in the mirror, Lin Chi looked back at Shen Wenchong and smiled:
“Cut off my braids and do it.”
“Young Master…” Shen Wenchong hesitated.
“What are you waiting for? Think I would look better in girl’s costume?” Lin Chi smiled: “Now to hide your identity, you must erase the obvious features. Short hair is also more convenient when fighting.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Shen Wenchong nodded slowly, drew out a short knife and chopped off Lin Chi’s braids.
“Well, that’s right.”
Lin Chi, who had recovered his cool and short hair, came to the basin and washed his face and wiped the dirt off his face. Then he stretched his waist and stood in front of the window and stared at the street below:
“I’ll ask again, this is the end of the matter, are you willing to continue to be loyal to me?”
“Of course.” Shen Wenchong’s answer did not hesitate or be confused: “I would like to sacrifice my life for the young master. I will go through all kinds of fire and water, and I will not hesitate.”
“Well, that’s good.” Lin Chi turned to look at his loyal guard, a bright smile appeared on his small face:
“I will regain power. No matter who planned this betrayal, his death date is coming soon.”
————————
“Hey, do you want me to watch Gong Dou Opera, friend?”
The “coach”, who was watching Lin Chi’s live broadcast in the virtual space of his brain, began to complain silently in his consciousness.
When he returned home, he was quickly accepted by his parents. Although he lost his body in reality, he became a member of the family again.
My father bought a welcome robot that looks exactly like a human. Even the height is very close to the “coach” before the accident. The coach now uses the body of the welcome robot in the real world.
However, even if it has returned to “daily life”, the coach is still paying attention to the “War Paradise” Invitational. Although there is no competition this time, watching the game is naturally essential.
According to the picture he saw just now: The players in the “Eye of Nightmare” game didn’t seem to have a smooth start.
Except for the “burning demon” who is full of character and good luck and successfully became the lord, the other 29 lords have encountered various incidents: betrayed by their soldiers, being overpowered by others, and several other princes. Fighting for inheritance…All kinds of obstacles are endless, making them all overwhelmed at the moment.
“Haha, fleeting years are not good.” The coach commented.
In fact, Lin Chi is not the most unlucky here. Among the players the coach saw, the most miserable was the teenager named “Terminator”:
The lord played by the “Terminator” seems to be an obscene monarch, and he is about to be overthrown. Not long after entering the game, the Terminator has been captured by the soldiers and locked up in a cell, and will soon be beheaded.
Seeing the Terminator sitting in the cell with a depressed expression on his face, the coach couldn’t help laughing. Switched the angle of view, continue to watch other players.
——The **** European Emperor “Burning Demon” is still as good as always. The cannon fodder “Great Arcanist” in the last invitational tournament finally found a suitable venue for him this time. He has regained his position as a lord and started to develop his territory . As for the “Blood Blade”…
“How is this going?”
As soon as the perspective was switched to the bloodblade side, the coach felt intense confusion.
