Chapter 149 149 McKinney's Attitude
Chapter 150 McKinney's Attitude
Ronin stayed with Lulans for a long time.
During this time, he told some things that happened in Shanlin Town, such as how to eliminate the Storm Wolf, how to defeat Leisen, etc.
At the same time, he also learned about some recent events in Wushanbao.
When Ronin came last time, Lulans asked him whether he wanted to attack the Black Gold Brotherhood.
At that time, he suggested that it was not appropriate to take action before spring plowing, and Wiggins was assassinated on the land of Earl Hyde. This matter should be explained by Orson to Wushanbao, rather than Wushanbao sending troops.
I don't know whether Lulans intended to do so, or whether Ronin's suggestion worked. Wushanbao passed the order to Orson to let the other party take action to avenge Wiggins.
Now, nearly two months have passed, and Orson is said to have won two wars, but did not kill the main figures of the Black Gold Brotherhood, and it seems that there has been no great results.
After leaving Lulans, Ronin went to visit Wiggins accompanied by McKinney.
Now in Wushan Castle, Lulans is recuperating in the backyard, and it is almost always guests who visit him, and he rarely shows up on his own initiative;
Wiggins lost another leg and is unable to move, so the reception of guests in Wushan Castle fell on the castle hostess Dai Anne and Bretton.
Fortunately, they have all had experience over the years, and with the assistance of Hallwart and others, the reception is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Hi, Brother Ronin!"
Bretton came up to greet him enthusiastically. He was wearing a well-fitting tuxedo today, with a golden mountain pattern embroidered on his shoulders, which is the emblem of the Wushan family.
"I heard from Hallwart that you are back a long time ago, but unfortunately I couldn't leave here and didn't go to see you."
"It is more important to receive guests and not let Wushan Castle lose courtesy."
Ronin remembered what Bretton said to him that day. The young man in front of him still looked very innocent at the moment, "You performed very well today!"
Bretton smiled, then nodded slightly to McKinney and called her sister.
McKinney's attitude towards Bretton was not very good, he just hummed indifferently.
"Where's my father?" Roning asked.
"My father is in the study. Viscount Marvin just came over and they chatted for a while."
Roning nodded, said goodbye to Bretton and walked towards the study.
"Roning, why are you so polite to Bretton?"
McKinney's tone was not very good, obviously not satisfied with Roning's attitude towards Bretton just now.
"Is there anything wrong?" Roning asked with a smile.
McKinney looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he leaned close to Roning's ear and whispered: "I heard Kabir say that Selena's suicide was a conspiracy. They used despicable means to frame you, and the one who benefited was Bretton!"
Roning had no memory of how Selena committed suicide. To be precise, he couldn't remember what happened that day. He absolutely didn't believe that there was no conspiracy.
It's just that when he just crossed over and faced that situation, Roning had no way to break the situation, so the matter was already done.
Roning didn't want to reveal what he was thinking, so he just said casually: "Breton may not know the truth behind this matter, he is just a child."
McKinney glared, "You are still as naive as before!"
Roning spread his hands and joked: "What do you want me to do to Breton? Go up and slap him twice?"
"Take back the inheritance rights, it should belong to you!"
McKinney said seriously: "Don't worry, we will support you!"
Roning was stunned.
McKinney said "we", obviously not just her, there should be Kabir, or even more people.
Perhaps, this group of people don't want to see Breton take over after Lulans and Wiggins die.
As long as Roning takes the lead, someone will definitely stand up to support.
"There's still a lot of time, sister!"
Ronin smiled and said, "Our grandfather is still in good health. Although father lost a leg, if there is no accident, he can live for at least 20 to 30 years. Maybe by then, Brayton and I will have died unexpectedly?"
He shrugged, "What's the point of arguing about these things?"
"You really... can't even speak?"
"Who would curse himself to die early at such a young age?"
After hearing this, McKinney reached out and grabbed Ronin's ear, just like when he was a child.
The two talked for a while, and then went to the study to meet Wiggins.
Compared to the last time, although Wiggins was still sitting in a wheelchair, his mental state was much better, and he also smiled during the conversation.
According to McKinney, Wiggins' temper was much less irritable after the leg was broken, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious during the conversation.
Ronin was also deeply touched.
At the beginning, Wiggins wanted to kill him at every turn, but now he really looks much better.
People say that when you lose something, you gain something else. Could it be that Wiggins lost a leg and gained a relatively "quiet" personality?
After coming out of Wiggins' study, McKinney went to communicate with her friends.
Roning didn't know many nobles, and his former friends were not very good. He was too lazy to visit them, so he thought about going back to his residence to rest.
However, he was stopped as soon as he left the hall.
"Hi, Roning!"
A slightly fat boy shouted Roning's name enthusiastically, "When did you arrive?"
Luo Ning looked at the person in confusion. He didn't recognize him until the person came closer.
It was Malik from the Green family in Lake Town. When Luo Ning went to Hillwood Town, he saved his life on the way.
He remembered that Malik was not fat at that time, but he had gained a lot of weight after four or five months. He was also wearing thick clothes, so he couldn't recognize him from a distance.
"Just arrived."
Luo Ning smiled and said hello: "Why are you alone?"
"My parents took Marina to meet Viscount Dennis. I was bored and wandered around alone."
As he spoke, he looked Luo Ning up and down, "I haven't seen you for half a year, and your condition is much better than before. But aren't you cold when you only wear these few clothes?"
Luo Ning looked at himself. He was only wearing two pieces of underwear and a coat outside. He didn't feel cold at all.
He couldn't help but think of his middle school days, when there were always classmates who would not bother to wear one or two extra layers of clothes even if their teeth chattered because of the so-called "demeanor rather than warmth".
He couldn't help but joked: "Malik, why can't you withstand the cold at such a young age? You must know that wearing less can make more girls think you are strong and make them fall in love with you."
"Ah, really? Is there such a thing?"
Malik believed it, after all, Luo Ning was very good at pursuing girls.
He was thinking, should he take off this goose down jacket and replace it with something light and slim?
Luo Ning laughed. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect that the other party actually listened.
He couldn't help but change the subject, "Last time you and your sister were assassinated, did your father find any clues about the murderer behind the scenes?"
Luo Ning now holds the confession from the Shadow Assassin, which mentions that it was Malik's brother and sister that Leisen found someone to assassinate.
Malik was pulled back from his thoughts.
"No, there is no investigation result into the count's assassination, let alone us!"
He shook his head and said in annoyance: "Those people hiding behind the scenes should be damned. It makes my sister and I need at least four or five knights to follow us whenever we go out. It's so unfree!"
"That's because your father cares about your safety. You should understand his mood."
Hermann has already experienced the pain of losing a son and a daughter. Now that he is middle-aged, if something goes wrong with his children, the Green family will have no heirs. Naturally, he will not allow this to happen.
Come to think of it, Hermann would definitely hate the murderer.
Once Luo Ning reveals that Leisen did all this, it stands to reason that he will get support from Gehrman.
"Does it need to be disclosed in advance?"
Revealing it in advance is nothing more than establishing a good relationship. When Luo Ning makes a request, the other party will help and say a few words.
But thinking of the other party's attitude when he went to Hushang Town, Luo Ning gave up the idea.
"Perhaps, I should say hello to Grandpa in advance." Luo Ning thought to himself.
