Chapter 19: This is what you said

The man who walked into the jungle surrounded by two guards actually met many people present, and even An Ruoran had met him once. On the night of arriving in Kade City, the Viscount Simmons standing beside Stan was walking slowly towards the open space, just like the final big boss...

"Master Simmons?" Richard was slightly stunned and bowed helplessly. Even though the other party's title was far lower than his, because he was the envoy of His Majesty's personal sect, it was impossible to ignore his existence. However, this envoy who was said to be mediocre and greedy for money actually appeared here unexpectedly. Could it be that he has been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?

"I said, it's almost enough to show off. Are you really going to play a group fight?" He ignored Richard's greetings at all. Simmons waved his hand as if nothing had happened and ordered him lazily. The soldiers looked at each other, not knowing who should listen to for a moment. Richard was stunned and said with a slap in his mouth: "Mr. Simmons, you are just ordering to investigate the arms smuggling trade. Please do not interfere with the internal affairs of our Guard City."

"Is that true? Then, what if I insist on interfering?" Simmons looked at him with a smile, reached out to take out a token from his arms. When he saw the Bauhinia pattern on the token, nearly a thousand soldiers shouted in a low voice and knelt on one knee respectfully. Richard's expression suddenly turned pale, but he still stood stubbornly and said tremblingly: "This is the token of Your Majesty! Lord Simmons, you, you are..."

"Sorry, the real Lord Simmons is actually on vacation on the way." Simmons shrugged as if nothing had happened, and the light blue light suddenly shone slowly around him. The next moment, the viscount suddenly showed his true face - he was in his early thirties, with a pale and thin face looking sick, like the kind of playboy who has been immersed in wine and color for many years. However, if you look carefully, you will find that the slightly narrowed eyes still have a bit of flashing light...

There is no doubt that this face is obviously more shocking than the token. Amid the exclamation, Richard finally couldn't help but feel psychological collapse and shouted in surprise: "Jun, Your Highness Junan! Why did you suddenly visit Jiade City? Why haven't we received any notice before?"

"Jun'an?" An Ruoran and Vivian looked at each other and suddenly remembered the domestic situation in the empire that Weiya mentioned. Then this man, known as His Highness Jun'an, should be the third prince of the empire and one of the powerful competitors to the throne? Judging from the traditional routines of those novels, this kind of smiling guy is basically very sinister, and he belongs to the type who lives like a young man...

And as he had guessed, Jun An accepted the kneeling ceremony as if nothing had happened and said lazily: "This is Your Majesty's intention. Let Viscount Simmons go to the city of Jiade in an open mission, and I am secretly investigating it. Now it seems that Your Majesty's secret order is indeed very wise, and the arms smuggling case in Jiade in an exact moment is not as simple as I imagined."

When An Ruoran heard this, he suddenly realized and inferred the whole story. It was not that he had doubted Richard, but he felt that everything he did was secret and there was no possibility of leakage. However, now it seems that Richard is really smart. He was a chess player, but he let himself and Vivian act as chess pieces - it was just strange, why did Richard know so clearly about himself and Vivian, that he could not send the dark elves all the way... Wait, Nicholas?

When An Ruoran noticed the dark elf Reeves, he suddenly understood a lot of things - Nicholas from the Northern Alliance, and the dark elf from the Northern Continent, perhaps there is a close connection between the two, and even those who manipulate arms and smuggle... If this is the case, then the dissatisfied Nicholas will secretly tell Richard about his situation.

But the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole behind him. Perhaps no one expected that His Highness Junan, appointed by Emperor Arthur, also hid in the shadow and observed everything. Perhaps he had already sent special personnel to secretly follow the only clue of Vivian and intend to find out the true inside story of the arms smuggling case. Like a spider who carries a net, this highness observed the changes in Guard City. It was not until he was determined that Richard was the real behind the scenes that he made his debut. No, his target was not just Richard, but the real mastermind who made Stan and Richard responsible for smuggling!

At this moment, Richard's face was already ashamed, and the cold sweat on his forehead was even more oozing. Junan looked at him with a smile, and suddenly clenched his high-fives: "Marquis Richard, you almost cheated me. If Mr. An hadn't accidentally disturbed the situation... Then, how about I give you a chance - hand over the list in your arms, and then tell me the real mastermind of the arms smuggling trade!"

Jun'an's voice was not loud, but there was a majesty in his plain tone that could not resist. Richard turned around in despair. After confirming that no one could be a life-saving straw, he finally knelt down on the ground with his legs softened, and then took out the list from his arms and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I am willing to submit to you, just to preserve your life and title! Please accept this list. As for the real mastermind behind the scenes, you have actually guessed a few points, that is the Great Emperor..."

However, just as the list was about to be handed out, the mastermind's name was about to be said... Reeves, the dark elf who seemed to be unconscious, suddenly jumped up and pierced Richard's chest with his sword. He even grabbed the list in a flash and swallowed it in his mouth.

Without waiting for Junan's order, dozens of soldiers who were approaching were snatched up and tried to stop Reeves's actions. However, as he looked at the weapons and his body, the dark elf suddenly burst into laughter and shouted suddenly: "Bastard, do you think you can stop me? Then, let's go to hell together!"

Amid the crazy ridicule, his body suddenly swelled like a balloon, and at the same time, the whole person rushed towards Jun'an without any hesitation. The next moment, the dark black light burst into dazzling, and blood and flesh splashed out in the air waves, like countless sharp weapons scattered. Dozens of soldiers were hit by the front of the front, and suddenly fell down with a stiff body. The city defense officer was shocked when he saw this. He did not care about his own safety and rushed forward and shouted like crazy: "Protect Your Highness! Protect Your Highness!"

"No need, I'm fine!" Jun'an's voice came weak in the rolling smoke and dust. A gust of breeze dispelled the smoke and dust, and also allowed everyone to see the scene at the scene. In front of Jun'an, who looked slightly pale, An Ruoran's clone was opening the barrier of light, blocking the dark elf's self-destruction before death! Perhaps it had consumed too much energy, the clone suddenly disappeared after a few seconds of stalemate, turning into silver light and returning to An Ruoran's body.

Seeing that Jun An was safe and sound, the officer finally breathed a sigh of relief. Compared to the responsibility of losing evidence, if the Highness was allowed to hang here, it would be a serious crime that would be enough to let more than a thousand city defense forces be buried with him. As soon as he thought of this, he looked at An Ruoran with a little more gratitude, but he immediately reacted and shouted hurriedly: "Search the bodies and find out the list, and do his best to save Marquis Richard!"

Dozens of soldiers were stunned for a moment, and rushed forward to search and rescue, but even if they used their knees to think about it, they knew that these were all futile actions. Jun An shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, but turned around and walked towards An Ruoran, bowed slightly and said, "Mr. An, thank you for helping us solve this major case. In addition, I owe you a life..."

"Your Highness, you are polite!" An Ruoran bowed and returned the salute, and said lightly with a expressionless face, "But, please let us say something next time you let us do bait. If we weren't lucky, maybe we were already lying flat on the ground at this moment, waiting for you to buy us ingots and candles..."

These words were sarcastic and seemed very rude. The officer changed his color slightly and couldn't help but yell at the harshest, but Jun'an waved his hand to signal him to retreat. An Ruoran stood there silently, meeting Jun'an's gradually solemn gaze without any intention of giving in. After a moment of confrontation, Jun'an suddenly coughed lightly and bowed again - however, compared to the previous polite greetings, he bowed deeply to the end at this moment, looking full of sincerity...

At this moment, more than a thousand soldiers were stunned - even if His Highness Junan was the most easy-going among the princes, it would be too ridiculous to salute a civilian like this! And in their astonishment, the Highness smiled and said a shameless remark: ""I'm sorry, I have implicated you and Vivian... But please forgive me for telling the truth. Some chess pieces will always be sacrificed in such matters as politics, and in my opinion, you were just a chess piece."

An Ruoran was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would be so honest, even if it sounds really shameless. Jun An paused and shook his head slightly and said, "But it's obvious that I was wrong this time - you are not a chess piece, but a very good chess player. Because of this, please allow me to pay my deepest respect. Even if you beat me up now, I have no objection..."

"Oh, do you need to say so directly?" An Ruoran narrowed his eyes slightly and showed a strange smile. He sighed a long time ago. He slowly looked up at Jun'an and said lightly: "Okay, since you said that, then... be careful, that's Reeves!"

"What?" Jun An was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, but the empty scenery was only visible. However, at this moment, an iron fist suddenly hit hard and the poor third prince screamed and fell to the ground. Then, Naya jumped over without hesitation, and made an uppercut at Jun An's left face, and then stepped a few more times!

At this moment, the audience was collectively trapped in petrification, and even the idea of ​​going forward to stop it was too late. With more than a thousand eyes, An Ruoran was quite satisfied with retracting his fist and turned around and said, "Everyone heard it. It was His Highness who asked me to hit him even if I hit him - to be honest, I have never heard of such a request in my life, which is really strange!"

With such a sigh, he had walked straight back to the carriage and started his own restoration work. Vivian bit his finger in confusion, but still picked up Naya, who was still unsatisfied, and ran back to An Ruoran. At this time, several guards finally rushed forward like a sudden realization and pulled Junan, who was swollen from his nose and face. The officer suppressed the urge to laugh and said in a grim expression: "Your Highness, he dared to treat you like this, it is simply unforgivable! Please give an order, I will take them now..."

"No, no need!" Even though the left eye was bruised and Naya's saliva was still stained with the outer robe, Jun An, who had lost his demeanor, was not very angry. He raised his hand to stop the soldiers from rushing forward, but looked at An Ruoran thoughtfully, and fell into a long silence. After a long time, the highness suddenly smiled and said lightly: "It's interesting, this guy really doesn't follow the rules when doing things! It doesn't matter, as long as he can help me... Well, how many opportunities will there be?"
