Chapter 184: The Premonition of the Approaching Darkness(1/2)

After walking for another ten minutes, Li Huailin and others finally arrived near the city of God's Blessing. Of course, St. Gaius Li Huailin asked her to go back first, because this guy didn't know why it shone at night, it was really conspicuous. There were so many players in the main city, which might attract onlookers... Next time, Li Huailin went to explore some dark place and didn't even need to prepare a torch, so he just let the guy illuminate it.

"The situation is a little wrong." Li Huailin here just walked to the west gate of the main city and found that it was a little different. "It seems that there are a little more guards."

"Yes, it's twice as much as usual. It seems that the news of the princess disappearing has spread." Hongyue here looked at it and said.

"It's bad...Letisia..." Fangselin frowned and said, "But strange, it's only seven o'clock in the evening. When I went out in the morning, I said that it might be later to return to the palace, so I shouldn't find out that I'm missing now."

"Perhaps someone in your convoy escaped and ran back to report this situation." Li Huailin said casually, "It seems that you might as well go back to the palace first."

"No, if I go back... Leticia won't be back. I must save her." Fangselin said gritting her teeth.

"Let's ask what's going on first." Hongyue said here, then walked towards the guard at the door.

There were really many guards at the door, but they just stood there and did not block the exit, and there was no question about the players entering and leaving. Hongyue walked to the side of a guard and asked, "Hello, I wonder if there are a lot more guards here. I wonder what happened?"

"Hello adventurer." The guards of the main city have always been more polite. When they saw Hongyue's inquiry, they answered very seriously, "That's right, something big happened just now."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Although Hongyue knew what the situation was, she just wanted to ask how far the palace knew.

"The Fourth Princess of the Empire was attacked by unknown assassins during her trip." The guard said immediately.

"Such big thing happened?" Hongyue said in shock.

"Yes, so now the Guard has received a notice and now it is starting to track down the assassin with all its might." The guard said, "I was resting today, but the snacks were also called on duty."

"Oh, that's it." Hongyue nodded.

"Wait..." Li Huailin behind him suddenly walked up and said, "Why do you have to track down the assassin with all your might?"

"Oh?" The guard was stunned, "What's strange about pursuing the assassin with all his strength?"

"Aren't you supposed to find the princess first?" Li Huailin asked.

"Ah? Why?" the guard asked strangely, "The princess is resting in the palace, why should she find the princess?"

"Alas?" Everyone present was stunned. Fang Selin here looked even more unbelievable and immediately asked, "What did you say? The princess is resting in the palace?"

The guard looked at Fang Selin a little strangely, but seemed to have not recognized Fang Selin and continued, "Yes, yes, although the princess was not injured, she was also frightened. She is resting now. His Highness the King was furious and was looking for the assassin with all her might."

"This is impossible!" Fang Selin said excitedly, "How could the princess rest in the palace! Am I still here?"

"Ah? What are you talking about?" your guard here asked strangely.

"This is the direction." Li Huailin suddenly pulled Fang Selin, who was still trying to argue in front of him, and then said to the guard, "That is to say, although the princess was attacked by an assassin, she escaped smoothly?"

"Yes." The guard nodded, "God blesses the empire, fortunately nothing happened to His Royal Highness the Princess."

"Your Highness the Princess is so powerful that he can escape the pursuit of so many people alone." Li Huailin here knew that Fang Selin had no combat ability, just wanted to hear if the guy on the other side had exposed this.

"Oh, then you're wrong. Adventurer, the Fourth Princess, does not know martial arts or magic. It should have been very dangerous. However, Lord Yvesli fought to the death and successfully rescued His Highness the Princess. Of course, he was seriously injured, but there should be no life danger." The guard said while a little admiringly, "Lord Yvesli is really too mighty. It seems that he can get the Imperial Glory Medal again this time."

"Yvesley? He is still alive?" Fang Selin said in surprise.

"In other words, there are two people coming back?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yes, there are only two people who can come back in a whole team of guards. The other party is so vicious. Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Princess is fine." The guard nodded and said.

"Haha, I suddenly realized that this task was interesting." Li Huailin turned around and smiled slightly and said, "Sir, do you think so?"

"Someone pretended to be me..." After the initial shock, Fang Selin slowly calmed down. After all, she was from a royal family and still had control over her heart. Although she was still in a mess, she still pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I don't understand at all." You didn't watch many palace dramas like drinking water, or you were too lazy to think about it, so you raised your hand and asked.

"Go over there and say." Li Huailin said while pointing to the plain at the city gate. "If we know that the real princess has not been shipped back on the other side, we may send people to the gates of each city to find people and prepare to intercept them. We should pay attention."

"Yeah." Fang Selin nodded. It was a critical moment until now and we had to calm down.

The few people immediately walked to a little outside the city gate. There were no people here, and the light was relatively dark, so it was not easy to be discovered.

It was Li Huailin from here who spoke first: "Anyway, what I know now is that the princess was attacked, and then someone impersonated the princess and returned to the palace. He originally thought that this was a task to save people, but now it seems that this is not the case."

"Yes, I didn't expect this would be the case." Your Hongyue said here, "I originally thought that the plot of killing a Boss to save someone was getting more and more complicated now."

"How could this happen?" Fang Selin said in disbelief, "The other party has returned to the palace. He must have seen his father, but the father did not recognize her?"

"That is to say, the other party looks very similar to you, so you can guess it. If it doesn't look like someone, you'll pretend to be." Li Huailin spread his hands and said, "I don't need to consider this thing. There are only three issues we are considering now: first, who is the other party; second, what the other party wants to do; third, what we should do."

"Who is the other party?" Fang Selin said, "Who has a grudge against me? I...I don't know very much..."

"Okay, let's study the first question first. Judging from the dummy who has been ready to replace the princess, the other party plans to not be a day or two for this month, so it's not the time to start at zero. Today is the time for the implementation of the plan. Why is it today? It's very simple, because the princess is better off when going out, it's easier to start outside. Okay, the first question now is, why does the princess want to go out?" Li Huailin said.

"Do you go out often?" Hongyue here asked Fang Selin.

"No, today Letisia asked me to go out..." Fangselin here thought for a while and replied, "As a result, we encountered a caravan on the way. Under the banner of Mused Caravan, we didn't care at first, but the other party suddenly launched an attack when we were intertwined with us."

"That's what the Mused caravan did." Hongyan here said with a raised hand while drinking water.

"Silly, I'm so stupid." Li Huailin couldn't help but say, "I've been planning for a long time. How could I still call out my own banner when I take action? What if the attack fails?"

"Oh." Hongyan drank water and touched her head.

"But in short, identify a suspect first." Li Huailin nodded.

"Oh?" Fang Selin said strangely, "Who?"

"Letisia, it's obvious." Li Huailin spread his hands and said.

"Letisia? Impossible, she is me..." Fang Selin just wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Huailin.

"Okay, I didn't ask you for your opinion. I don't need to know how intimate or deep friendship the other party is with you. I just want to tell you my own judgment." Li Huailin waved his hand and said, "No matter how you invite a princess who doesn't usually go out, then something happened, and the suspicion is too great."

After Li Huailin said this, he thought about it again: "There is a second suspect."

"And?" asked Fang Selin.

"The guard named Yvesli." Li Huailin touched his chin and said, "Who is he?"

"He is my chief guard, the one sent by my father to protect me." Fang Selin said, "I am weak, unable to learn martial arts, and have no magical talent. Yves has been protecting me since I was a child, just like my relatives."

"He is out with you today?" Li Huailin asked.

"Yeah." Fang Selin nodded.

"Yes, after being attacked, Yvesli fought with the other party. I saw him hit several times and thought he was no longer able to do it..." Fang Selin said.

"It doesn't make sense. Although the other party was injured, he did not destroy the group. In the end, he was attacked by the thieves. In other words, the other party had enough time to silence. Let's assume that after Yves was seriously injured, he would escape with him. So where was the time to replace the person?" Li Huailin said.

"I...I was knocked out later, I don't know." Fang Selin here thought for a while and said, "Is it possible for the other party to knock me out and then change it. Then when Yvesli knew that he was defeated and was about to escape, he found me who had already lost his bag, and then pulled me away?"

"Impossible. In this case, the other party should pursue you both with all their might, because a seriously injured person and a man who knows martial arts can't run far, and the other party will take you away, which makes no sense." Li Huailin said, "If there is nothing wrong with Yves's strength, you may have any doubts when you see that the other party is not chasing him, but it seems that there is no current situation."

"This...I don't believe it..." Fang Selin said with his head down, "Yveli, Yveli cannot betray me."

"It doesn't matter. This world cannot be changed by not believing in it. Things exist objectively, and all the impossible is eliminated. All the rest is the truth." Li Hualin said.

"It may also be that although Yves Li was a little suspicious, he decided to send the princess back first, but after returning to the palace, he fainted after being injured too much." The Hongchen Yanyu here felt a little unbearable when he saw Fang Selin's indifference, so he said.

"Yes, yes, that must be the case." Fang Selin's eyes lit up here, and she immediately said as if she had caught some life-saving straw.

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you think about it this way. I'm just talking about the suspect now, not sure." Li Huailin said, "And it doesn't matter whether Yves is a traitor."

"Why?" asked Fang Selin.

"The energy required to kidnap an imperial princess is not a little bit. What strange purpose does a guard have to do this? It is impossible. If he wants to harm you, there are so many opportunities since childhood and adulthood, he can take action at any time. It is impossible for him to do it now. In other words, this Yves is definitely not the mastermind." Li Huailin said.

"Yes, yes." Fang Selin said immediately, "Even if he really betrayed me, there must be a reason, and he must have been subjected to some coercion."

"Well, who did that?" Hongyue asked here.

"I don't know." Li Huailin spread his hands, "I'm just analyzing, it's not a fortune teller. How can I know who the mastermind is now?"

"I thought you got it, you said so confidently." Hongchen Yanyu said here.

"I didn't say I know, right?" Li Huailin smiled, "By the way, I'll ask, what is the origin of that guy named Leticia?"

"Come?" asked Fang Selin.

"That is to say, I have been paying attention to it since the beginning. Why did Leticia meet you in the palace? He is also a princess? Or the prince's daughter?" Li Huailin asked.

"No, she is just a friend of mine since childhood. She often comes to the palace to see me and play with me." Fonselin said, "She is not a princess, she is the daughter of Marquis Filmt."

"Ha?" Li Huailin was stunned for a moment, "Wait... Marquis of Filmut?"

"Yes." Fang Selin nodded.

"Is it the boss of De'an Chamber of Commerce?" Li Huailin said.

"The Dean Chamber of Commerce is not of Marquis Filmt, but it is almost the same..." Fonselin said, "Yes, it's him."

"I understand." Li Huailin nodded. It was unreasonable that this had nothing to do with this guy.

"Wilmute, do you mean this Marquis of Filmute?" asked Hongyue here.

"It's 70% sure. That's this guy." Li Huailin said, "I heard that this guy has a lot of things in the north. It is said that he still has the army and has a huge power."

"How could it be the Marquis of Filmut, it doesn't make sense." Your Fonselin said immediately, "Why did Marquis of Filmut hurt me?"

"This is the second question," said Li Huailin. "What do they want to do? But before thinking about this question, there is a very important question."

"Hmm? What is it?" Hongyue asked, Fang Selin here also looked at Li Huailin strangely.

"Why are you not dead yet?" Li Huailin pointed at Fang Selin and said.

"Oh?" Fang Selin was stunned, "What does it mean?"
