Chapter 74 74 Uncertain of Life and Death

Chapter 74 Life or Death Uncertain

For Shanlin Town, the visit of the son of the Iron Hoof family was a very unexpected thing, and the news brought by the other party was even more unexpected.

"I'm not sure about the specific injuries of Lord Earl."

Rogner shook his head and said: "This is the information from our family chamber of commerce. Lord Wiggins was already in critical condition when he returned to Wushan Castle. As for after entering Wushan Castle, all he knew was that all the knights of the First Knights would be nearby. Everyone was on alert, but the news inside didn’t come out.”

"However, including my father, many nobles in Oshan Territory will leave for Oshan Territory to visit Lord Wiggins in the near future after receiving this news."

Some nobles may simply see a doctor or eat melon, but some may want to confirm Wiggins's life and death so that they can make other preparations.

Luo Ning frowned, "You can actually dispatch two Silver Knights and a Bronze Knight at once. What are the origins of these killers?"

The higher the professional level of the transcendent, the more or less powerful people are behind them, whether it is a noble, a certain chamber of commerce, a wealthy person, etc.

Being able to dispatch such a level and number of professional knights to assassinate Wiggins at once shows that the origin of the opponent is not simple.

Rogner shook his head, how could he know such a thing?

Even if he had his own guess, he didn't dare to say it in front of Luo Ning without evidence.

If Luo Ning informs Wushanbao of his guess, which arouses the anger of Lord Lulans and starts a war, then he and the Iron Hoof family will be brought to the forefront.

Although Luogna didn't say much, Luo Ning had his own guess in his heart.

In this kind of assassination, it depends on who is most beneficial to the death of the person involved, then this person may be the murderer.

In the Wushan family, the Marquis of Rulans is seriously ill and "retired". It is said that he will not live for a few years. When he dies, his son, now Earl Wiggins of Wushan City, will inherit the position of marquis;

A few years later, when Wiggins dies, who will inherit the position of Marquis of Wushan Territory?

That was definitely not the disinherited Ronin, but his brother Brayton, the grandson of Earl Orson Hyde.

Now that Wiggins is dead, and after Rulans dies in a few years, Brayton will directly ascend to the position of Marquis, which will save at least ten or twenty years compared to surviving Wiggins.

So after such an analysis, it is very obvious who benefits from assassinating Wiggins.

Is it that the Hyde family wants to support their grandson to get the position of marquis as soon as possible, and even wants to kill the seemingly useless son-in-law as soon as possible?

Luo Ning couldn't help but think that if he hadn't been afraid of Lu Lansi's stellar strength, I'm afraid Lu Lansi would have been the first one to make the move instead of Wiggins.

However, is it really what he imagined?

Luo Ning didn't dare to vouch for it.

After all, he could think of this situation, and so could other nobles, especially Rulans of Wushan Castle.

Under such circumstances, Orson Hyde still wants to assassinate his son-in-law, which only shows that he no longer takes Wushanbao seriously. Does the other party really dare to show off like this before Rulans is dead?

Luo Ning felt that this matter still had to be questioned.

"Luo Ning, when are you going to return to Wushan City?"

Rogner changed the subject, "If you leave now, we can escort you out of the woods to the south. When we get to Wuma City, you can be with my father. This way the journey there will be much safer."

Luo Ning came back to his senses and said with some surprise: "Why, you guys are not staying at my place today, and you are planning to go back?"

It was almost noon, and even if the other party left immediately, they would not be able to return to Muma City today. Luo Ning originally thought that the other party would stay overnight in Shanlin Town.

"I'm sorry, it's not that we don't want to rest here for a night, it's just that my father is still waiting for my news in Muma City."

Rogner explained: "If you are willing to come with us, then we will set off from Wuma City together. If you have other plans, I will have to go back and reply to him."

It seems that Marvin Tietho wants to leave for Wushanbao as soon as possible.

Luo Ning thought for a while, but did not give an answer immediately, "Please let me think about it."

The two knights Rogner and Kurami met each other, and both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. They originally thought that Luo Ning would leave immediately, but they didn't expect that the other party would still look unhurried.

Could it be that Luo Ning is still angry about being deprived of his inheritance rights, and even if his father is dying, he is not willing to go back to Wushanbao to visit?

This would be too willful. In any case, he, Luoning, is a bloodline of the Wushan family.

Rogna and Kurami thought so in their hearts, but they didn't say much.

They just followed Viscount Marvin's instructions and sent Cloud-Taking Horse over to establish a relationship with Shanlin Town, and then conveyed Wiggins' matter to Luo Ning.

After the luncheon, Luo Ning sent the group from Muma City away. In the end, he decided not to go to Wushanbao for the time being, using the excuse that "the autumn harvest in Shanlin Town was imminent and he couldn't leave without a political officer."

The news and gifts brought by Viscount Marvin may just be pure goodwill, but Wushan Castle is definitely a complicated place now.

In the next few days, nobles of all sizes in Wushan Territory will gather there. Luo Ning went over at this time and undoubtedly joined the vortex on his own initiative.

If someone manipulates it carefully, it may even be pushed to the front.

Ronin finally found a place to live in this remote mountain forest, and finally faded from the sight of many people. He had time to grow steadily. He didn't want to be remembered so soon.

Moreover, Ronin thought that Wiggins was most likely rescued by Wushan Fort and was not dead.

After all, if he was really dead, Rogner might have brought a letter from Wushan Fort. If Lu Lans asked Ronin to go back, he would leave immediately.

Now he should stay away from the vortex temporarily. After a while, when things settle down and the nobles of Wushan City are dispersed, it won't be too late for him to visit Wushan Fort.

In any case, the situation in Wushan Territory is becoming more and more grim.

Because only when the ruling power is gradually lost to a certain extent, people outside will be so blatant to attack the feudal lord.

Lu Lans was still like this when he was alive. When he died, the group of people below would be more unscrupulous.

He can only hope that Lulans can hold on longer. At least, with this old man around, there will be no open war.

"I don't have much time left. I have to try my best to improve my strength and power before the chaos comes."

Roning originally just followed the attitude of "I won't offend others if the enemy doesn't offend me" and tried to make Shanlin Town and himself spend the initial period in peace, but now it seems that some actions must be put on the agenda earlier.

"McKen, pay attention to keeping the guards strong during the recent training. After Redar brings back the news, we will prepare to deal with the wild tribes in the mountains."

"In addition, Gallen, you go and notify Wilson to notify each village that everyone should work overtime to shorten the autumn harvest time. In addition, I will recruit 20 militiamen around 30 years old in each village to participate in the training in a few days!"

"Let Wilson arrange these 80 people to come and observe in advance to familiarize themselves with the training content of the guards."

War means casualties, and Roning needs to consider the issue of manpower replenishment.

However, the autumn harvest is equally important. Without food, you can't even feed people, so how can you go to war?

Thank you all for your monthly votes. There are quite a lot of people voting. I am flattered.
