That night, the echoes of gunshots continued to spread in the forest, and Su Sheng, who had not walked far, felt palpitations.
"The gunfire came from the direction of Uncle Di's house."
Su Sheng didn't know what happened, but it was definitely not a good thing. No matter how superb Uncle Di's fighting skills were, even if he was an Akaman, he could not defeat the power of a cold bullet.
The more Su Sheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He encountered a lot of corpses on the way, which made him feel even more uneasy.
When Su Sheng returned to the wooden house, the five corpses at the door had Dean's homemade arrows stuck in them, and the ground was stained red with blood.
Looking at the mess, Su Sheng felt his stomach churn. This was the first time he had seen such a bloody scene at such a close range. Su Sheng endured the discomfort and entered the house. He saw seven things that had been turned over. Bits and pieces.
Su Sheng gently closed the door, piled the bodies together and threw them on the fire. Seeing the flames devouring the corpses, Su Sheng's eyes became firm.
The next day, Su Sheng walked to the streets of the royal capital.
"Something big is going to happen in the capital."
"how do you know?"
"This morning, news suddenly came out that Duke Dean is a descendant of some kind of Akaman. Then the guards also started taking action. I'm afraid things are going to change."
Hearing the conversations of passers-by, Su Sheng knew that he didn't have much time and he had to find Dean immediately.
The news must have been released by Pula, but he would not directly send out the army. The power of the cabinet is deeply rooted. Pula has not yet been able to completely control the army. It would be even more dangerous to send out hastily. Dean said that the Guardsmen were composed of various forces.
"The guards are coming, get out of the way!"
I don't know who shouted, and people hid on both sides of the road, looking at the troops rushing in the distance in fear. Su Sheng looked closely and saw that everyone was riding a war horse, carrying a bolt-action rifle and wearing a steel helmet, and was advancing menacingly.
"That direction is the palace. Are the troops going to rebel?"
"Don't talk nonsense and watch your tongue."
The passers-by were discussing carefully, and Su Sheng probably understood that someone was going to launch a coup. Uncle Di was probably captured to better control the army. Based on Uncle Di's achievements and illustrious reputation, he has considerable prestige in the army. Even after so many years, many veteran cadres in the army still remember this god of war who led them to defend the motherland.
"Look, is that Duke Dean?"
On the carriage behind the army, the dying Dean sat upright, but the paleness on his face made Su Sheng understand that Uncle Di did not want to show his weakness in front of the soldiers.
"Pula abused our god of war, Lord Dean, and under the orders of the cabinet, he overthrew the old king and established a new king!"
The messenger next to Dean shouted loudly, announcing their legitimacy. If you look closely, it was the messenger dressed as Kaibas.
"Uncle Di!"
Su Sheng ran to catch up with the carriage carrying Dean.
"Who? Dare to resist the army?"
Kaibas looked at Su Sheng coldly.
"I am a child that Lord Dean saved back then. Lord Dean will definitely be willing to see me."
Su Sheng explained calmly.
"No, it's not convenient for Mr. Dean to see guests. Go back."
Kaibas looked at Su Sheng impatiently.
"Let him see me, ahem."
Dean in the carriage heard Su Sheng's voice. He was so weak that he gritted his teeth and spoke out the words one by one, trying to raise his voice so that others could hear it.
He has been too weak to speak since Kaibas tortured him, and Kaibas has been by his side, using his reputation to get the army to work for him. Dean was unable to explain, so he could only endure the pain and get into the carriage.
"Since Mr. Dean wants to see you, I will give you one minute."
Kaibas frowned as he looked at the soldiers around him, and had no choice but to agree to Su Sheng's request. They were dissatisfied with letting Dean come out in this state, and they were fooled by him purely out of the desire to avenge Dean. If he directly resisted what Dean said, an accident would inevitably happen. However, Kaibas did not expect that Dean would still have the strength to speak.
Su Sheng entered the carriage. Seeing Dean's face pale but still insisting on straightening his back, Su Sheng felt that tears were about to flow out.
"You are too reckless. Go quickly and leave Shields Country. This country is in chaos."
"No, I have to find a way to save you."
"No need, I've lived for so many years, it's enough. The messenger soldier outside is my enemy. He made me sit here just to torture me and use me. I don't want the soldiers to see that I am no longer good. I have persisted until now, and I am very satisfied when I see you."
Dean pushed Su Sheng out of the carriage.
"Drive him out of the capital."
Dean shouted these words with all his strength. After hearing the order, a soldier led Su Sheng out of the city.
Su Sheng wanted to struggle, but saw the last look Dean gave him. There was hope there. There was also disappointment.
Su Sheng looked at Dean. He knew that Dean had given up hope of living. Maybe Dean would leave after arriving in the royal capital. That look expressed hope that Su Sheng could live a good life on his behalf, but it was also extremely disappointing to Wang Zheng. It was the ending he chose on his own initiative.
