However, Jeff knew very well that he was speaking lightly and reported that the kingdom's nobles had gathered together to conspire. In the absence of evidence, he might not receive much attention.

Jeff thought for a moment and soon thought of his lord!

As His Majesty's most capable right-hand man and one of the heroes who supported King Hatar to ascend the throne, the Grand Duke of Gard is privately called the wizard's lackey by many nobles!

This is the highest-level person he can currently come into contact with.

After thinking about it, Jeff no longer hesitated. After leaving the Marquis's castle, he went to the Grand Duke of Gard's residence in the royal capital overnight.

After notifying the guards, he was received quickly.

Slowly entering the spacious inner room, Jeff waited for a while, and Duke Gard in robes soon walked in with several guards.

"Please forgive me for disturbing your sleep, Your Majesty the Duke." Jeff bowed very respectfully.

"Tell me, Sir, do you have anything important to report when you come to me so late?" Duke Gard did not mean to be polite and asked impatiently.

"Reporting to your lord, it's about the Marquis of Mortan..." Jeff reported truthfully, telling the truth about how Mortan secretly summoned more than 40 nobles of the kingdom tonight to plan a large-scale purchase of grain and artificially create a famine.

once.

After listening to Jeff's narration, Duke Gard pondered for a while. "You did a good job, Sir. I will report this matter to His Majesty Hattar truthfully."

Jeff didn't dare to take the lead, but before he could shirk it, Duke Gard asked again.

"How many people have you told about this?"

"Very good, very good!" Gad nodded with satisfaction, and then asked the attendant to bring a bag of gold as a reward for delivering the news, and encouraged him. "If you confirm that this matter is true, you will definitely get

Well-deserved commendation!”

Jeff happily took it. The bag was heavy and contained at least two hundred imperial gold coins.

"You can go back and rest!" Gad waved his hand and said.

Jeff turned around and put away the money bag filled with gold. For some reason, he felt a vague uneasiness in his heart. It wasn't until he was about to step out of the inner room that he suddenly remembered that after listening to his own account, the Grand Duke's behavior was unavoidable.

He was a little too calm, and there was no trace of surprise on his face from beginning to end.

It's like I already knew the news...

Jeff's inner uneasiness became more and more intense. The moment he stepped out of the threshold, this strong uneasiness turned into an even stronger sense of crisis.

Almost subconsciously, Jeff's right hand touched the hilt of the sword at his waist, but faster than him were the crossbows in the hands of the guards!

The sharp arrows and the sound of the crossbow triggering arrived almost at the same time. In an instant, they penetrated Jeff's chest, arms and thighs, and then a long knife broke through the air. Blood spurted out, and Jeff's round head was

After cutting it down, those wide-open eyes were full of confusion...

Gad threw away the blood-stained sword in his hand, looked at the guards around him indifferently, and said.

"Clean up the body and tell Mortan to be more careful next time and don't let people like this sneak in again."
