"Back off! Back off!"
Outside the castle of the Duke of Lorraine, Austrian guards with weapons were driving away people.
"Why aren't we allowed in? This duel is public."
"We will never allow the Grand Duke to be harmed by that scourge and that old bastard!"
"In order to win, that old bastard actually hired a murderer to kill someone!"
Hearing the riots outside, Duke Lorraine's expression suddenly changed, but Victor laughed.
"Old bastard, this description is so apt."
Victor looked at the Duke of Lorraine and said sarcastically: "That's right, the Duke of Lorraine."
After hearing this, the Duke of Lorraine looked very unhappy and sullen, and suddenly said angrily in a deep voice: "Kick out those who are causing trouble outside!"
"If you don't go out, you will be killed. This is the Duke's castle, not a slum. You can come and go at will!"
The Duke of Lorraine glanced at the time. It was twelve o'clock in less than a minute.
Even if a miracle happened, Liu Sheng would not be able to arrive in such a short time.
He immediately closed his pocket watch and said: "Let the referee quickly announce that the Dragon Flame man did not come, and the winner of this duel is Franz!"
The men conveyed the Duke of Lorraine's words to the referee.
The referee immediately announced: "Since Liu Sheng did not arrive on time..."
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the chaotic crowd.
"Who said I didn't come?"
Liu Zheng glanced at the hands on his pocket watch. All the hands pointed to the number twelve.
He smiled slightly, just in time.
The soldiers blocking the road were slightly startled, but after seeing Liu Zheng, they took the initiative to make way, perhaps subconsciously.
Liu Zheng stepped into Lorraine's castle, and there was silence all around.
The Austrian noble looked at Liu Zheng in surprise. He didn't expect that he would dare to come. He must die in this duel!
The fake Franz in the duel field stared at Liu Zheng quietly, as if appreciating tonight's prey.
Who is he going to kill?
Victor showed a satisfied look and pinched his mustache. He had indeed seen this boy correctly. It was a pity that such a courageous young man was not Austrian.
Otherwise, it can really be cultivated.
Thinking of this, Victor glanced at the still astonished Duke of Lorraine with the corner of his eye.
Victor sneered: "The Duke of Lorraine, he is here."
The Duke of Lorraine looked gloomily, staring at the sudden appearance of Liu Sheng and the people from the slums mixed together.
"The time has passed and he is late."
As soon as these words came out, the people in the slums immediately rioted. of
"This old bastard is starting to cheat because he's afraid that the Longyan people will win!"
"How noble can a nobleman who hires murderers adopt such dirty methods be?"
Hearing these curses, the nobles watched everything happening quietly as if they were watching a joke.
They looked at Duke Lorraine's face, already filled with rage. In their opinion, as long as Duke Lorraine did not fall.
The Lorraine family is still the largest family in Austria, and this matter will soon calm down.
Liu Zheng stared at this good show happening.
"Guards, take action!" The Duke of Lorraine almost squeezed out these words through his teeth.
The guards who received the order hesitated for a moment. Although these Austrians came from the slums, they were also Austrians.
They were now protecting Liu Zheng, and the guards hesitated for a moment.
Liu Zheng laughed and said calmly: "Duke Lorraine, I came at the right time. Are you sure you won't let me duel?"
Duke Lorraine pointed to his pocket watch: "When this Duke saw you, time had already passed. This is the rule of duel!"
"Not only are you going to die here today, but according to the agreement, Theresa has to serve Franz and give him a child!"
The Duke of Lorraine signaled, and the guards no longer dared to hesitate and rushed forward to arrest Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng had long expected that this bastard would say this, and had already prepared a second-hand plan in his heart.
He raised his hand and was about to drop it, but at this moment.
A crisp voice suddenly sounded.
"Stop it all!"
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled and looked over to see Teresa walking in expressionlessly.
Victor's face lit up with joy, Theresa was finally here.
The Duke of Lorraine was neither sad nor happy.
She stared at Duke Lorraine and said calmly: "Duke Lorraine, you just talked about the rules, so do you want me to tell you the rules too?"
As she spoke, Theresa's eyes swept across everyone on the field, and finally her eyes fell on the duel field.
"Duke Lorraine, please tell me, is Franz here?"
The Duke of Lorraine was stunned. He couldn't say that Franz didn't come. If he hadn't come, he would have lost the duel.
Not only the Duke of Lorraine's expression changed, but the expressions of those nobles also changed.
This sentence is tantamount to making it clear that the Duke of Lorraine is up to something.
The Duke of Lorraine was indifferent and speechless. This little girl was willing to risk everything to break the rules among nobles!
The killer in the duel field was invited by him and must not be exposed!
Now everyone present has gathered, Austrian civilians, nobles, bureaucrats, and even Archduke Theresa.
If it is exposed, the Lorraine family will definitely be disgraced in an instant.
Although he had been caught before, it had not escalated to a high-level fight in Austria.
Although everyone knew the identity of the person in the duel, these nobles, including General Victor, would never reveal this matter openly.
Although they are hostile, they also have interests.
Therefore, no one will pierce this layer of window paper. As long as it is not pierced, the Duke of Lorraine can continue to do whatever he wants.
But if it is revealed, these nobles will not mind losing one Duke of Lorraine, so that they will have a better chance of ascending to the throne.
When Teresa said this, she was actually risking her life.
Victor suddenly fell silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
He glanced at his killer and forget it. Anyway, his original plan was to let this killer kill Liu Sheng.
Duke Lorraine forced out a very ugly smile: "Liu Sheng can participate in the duel."
"These people are also qualified to watch this duel."
"Okay, no problem." The Duke of Lorraine agreed that Liu would die, so that these untouchables would know the consequences of offending them.
Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. She looked around and saw Victor there, and her heart was completely relieved.
She looked at Liu Sheng and smiled slightly: "I respect your choice, but for a while, you just run away. That Franz, actually he is..."
Liu Zheng was stunned. He looked into Theresa's eyes and immediately understood what Theresa meant.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he could only sigh helplessly.
After boarding the duel arena, he looked at the impostor in front of him who was not Franz at all.
The face of the impostor was covered, but from the exposed eyes, one could read a sense of déjà vu that the other party had already regarded him as prey.
Liu Zheng was slightly startled. Did he look weak?
"Game start!"
