Chapter 27: Secret arrangement

(Thanks to the chapter for Pansy yr children's shoes, thank you!!)

...

After Philip walked out of the carriage, he saw a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance standing under the carriage. He couldn't help but glared at him angrily. The middle-aged man was glared by him, subconsciously hugged a small bag on his chest, and took two steps back, giving way to Philip, and looked at him timidly, as if he was a little guilty.

Philip ignored him and walked quickly towards the team behind him after getting off the carriage. After David, who was following him, got off the carriage, he just glanced at the middle-aged man and then looked at both sides.

Seeing Philip's figure, David had no time to think about anything, so he quickly ran to his side and quickly explained in a low voice: "Legras, you may not understand yet, the Duke has no choice at all..."

Philip ignored David's words, treated him as a transparent person, and continued to walk towards the rear of the team.

Seeing this, David was a little anxious. He suddenly stepped up two steps and blocked Philip's face, and quickly said, "Legras, you..."

However, as soon as he said this, he saw Philip winking at him. He was stunned for a moment, and from the corner of his eyes he saw the middle-aged man in front of the carriage secretly looking towards him.

How smart he was? He immediately understood Philip's intention, no longer blocked Philip's front, walked to him, and continued to walk side by side with him towards the rear.

At this time, Bond also walked out of the carriage, but instead of first informing the middle-aged man below to let him in, he said to Mafggard: "Mr. Gerrard, the master told you to go with me to carry goods in the rear."

This reason was thought of by Bond himself, and the purpose was naturally self-evident. Gerald was not a fool either. He had guessed some of the middle-aged man brought by Bond when he was here. Although he didn't know what was going on at this time, he felt a lot of thought when he saw David and Philip had already come out.

He responded with him and Bond also walked out of the carriage, followed David and Philip, and walked backwards. Bond nodded to the middle-aged man: "You can go in."

"Yes, yes, thank you sir." The middle-aged man's voice sounded a little frightened, and kept bowing to Bond, while also tightening the small bag in his arms.

Bond looked at him deeply, without saying anything, turned his head and looked at Gerald who was standing in the distance waiting for him, and then ignored the middle-aged man and walked straight to the back of the team.

Philip, who was walking in front, heard Bond's voice and suddenly pulled the corner of David's clothes quietly. David looked at him with some confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Philip looked straight ahead and whispered: "Go slower."

Hearing this sentence, David said "um" softly, as a reply. The two of them slowed down at the same time and continued to walk towards the rear.

But before taking two steps, a purse suddenly fell from Philip's body. Moreover, Philip deliberately made the purse not tightly tied the pocket, and some silver coins and copper plates inside were scattered all over the floor.

"Oh, why are you so careless!" David blamed Philip, and quickly squatted down to help him clean up the coins on the ground. Philip smiled embarrassedly, scratched the back of his head with a little honesty, and quickly squatted down to clean up the coins on the ground with David.

However, although the two were packing up coins on the ground, their eyes were deliberately or unintentionally looking at the place where Lin Feng's carriage was.

I saw the middle-aged man in simple clothes holding the small bag in his arms tightly, standing there looking hesitant, either looking up at Lin Feng's carriage or looking down at the small bag in his hand.

Seeing this scene, a cold suddenly appeared in Philip's eyes. He glanced at David. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the middle-aged man stepping onto the carriage at this moment!

Before they could say anything, the two of them stood up at the same time, ignored the coins on the ground, and ran towards Lin Feng's carriage together.

Regardless of the arrival of Gerald and Bond, Philip immediately slowed down after passing the two of them, and continued to run towards Lin Feng's carriage with slight hands. When he ran to the carriage, he looked carefully at the door. Seeing the middle-aged man's figure just walked into the carriage, he withdrew his gaze, then stood there and tiptoed, putting his ear on the carriage.

His action naturally attracted Bond and Gerald. Both of them looked at Philip, who was putting his head on the carriage with a little strange. Gerald seemed to have thought of something. When he was about to walk over and speak, he suddenly felt that his shoulder was grabbed by someone else.

After subconsciously looking back, Gerald saw David looking at him with a serious face, holding a finger up beside his mouth and making a gesture of banning voice. Then, without waiting for him to say anything, David leaned into his ear and whispered:

"Chief Gerald, the middle-aged man has no identity. I am worried that he will have bad intentions towards the Duke. I will go to observe and discuss countermeasures with Commander Leglas. Please inform us now in the rear team, quietly mobilize some elite cavalry to come and prepare bows and arrows to surround the Lord's carriage. If anything happens..."

His voice became smaller and smaller. After he finished speaking, he lowered his head and took out a sign from his arms and stuffed it to Gerald: "Please trouble you."

This sign was handed over to him for easy management on the road. If necessary, the private army of the Snow Demon Wolf family can be mobilized without the consent of the commander. Of course, if you want to mobilize cavalry, you can only mobilize a hundred people at most. However, on this not-so-wide road, one hundred elite cavalry is enough to surround Lin Feng's carriage.

Gerald knew that David's status around Lin Feng was much higher than that of him, and he had many ideas. After taking the sign, he nodded, but with a slightly strange look on his face, he also whispered: "I'll go right away, and I'd like to tell Commander Leglas that the Duke's carriage has excellent sound insulation. I'm afraid he won't hear the sound of the conversation inside if he does this..."

David's face changed suddenly, but he didn't say anything else. He nodded, patted Gerald on the shoulder, and ran towards Philip.

Bond, who was standing aside, just watched the two of them talking, and he wanted to speak a few times but stopped. I wonder if he should make a statement. At this time, seeing the two of them running to both sides, Bond first glanced at Gerald, who had already been running to the back, turned his head and looked at David who had already run to Philip, and decided to walk towards the two.

...

Philip pressed his ear tightly on the carriage. After listening carefully for a while, he found that he could not hear any sound at all. He couldn't help but frown. At this moment, he suddenly heard David's voice no longer deliberately suppressed from behind: "Legrass, stop wasting his efforts. Director Gerald just now said to me, the sound insulation of the carriage is excellent, you shouldn't hear the conversation inside, right?"

"Damn it! So that's it! I was wondering why I couldn't hear anything..." Philip couldn't help but sighed hatefully, and no longer continued to deliberately suppress his voice.

However, he did not look at David, but looked at the car door. Just as he was about to walk onto the carriage carefully, David quickly grabbed the corner of his clothes: "Wait, don't worry, I have asked Chief Gerald to go to the back to mobilize elite cavalry. Although I can only mobilize one hundred people, one hundred people are surrounded by the carriage with bows and arrows. If something happens... I believe it will also play a role."

Hearing this, Philip stopped and turned around, sighed heavily: "Oh!! We can only arrange these secretly for the Lord..."

After sighing, Philip seemed to remember something: "You stay away later, I will stick it to the door of the adult carriage. If something happens, I will be the first to take action. I may not be able to take care of you."

"I understand this." David nodded immediately, and the light of thinking flashed in his eyes, and he said again: "Legras, please observe here first. I'll go back and ask Uncle Uru if he has some poisons suitable for sneak attacks..."

As he said that, David was about to turn around and walk backwards.

"Wait!" Philip suddenly grabbed him, a trace of disdain flashed across his face: "Don't go to Mr. Poison King. As people from the Snow Demon Wolf family, how can we use despicable means of poisoning?"

"Despicable? Commander Legras, do you think poisoning is despicable?"

David looked at him tightly and said righteously: "I don't know what you think. In my opinion, there is only the right way to do it, and there are no despicable or not despicable means. As long as it is not something that harms others and does not benefit oneself, it can achieve better results. Why don't we use it? Besides, the other party is despicable first. If we still care about this, wouldn't it be too stupid?"

The speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional. It is not that Philip disdains to use despicable means. However, if he is alone, he will definitely not care about anything, but now he is doing things for Lin Feng, and he always unconsciously considers the image of the Snow Demon Wolf family.

However, after being reminded by David, Philip suddenly realized that in the past, he had indeed paid too much attention to the collective image. If it weren't for the reputation that the mercenary corps had finally established and had not used more means when they were attacked, he would probably have fallen to this point!

Moreover, the success and defeat of the enemy are the winners, and the history is entirely written by the winners!

At this moment, Philip suddenly came to his senses, and a deep regret arose in his heart!

However, things in the past could not be changed. Philip was relieved by this regret. Thinking of the situation at this moment, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Okay, Mr. David, then I'll ask you!"

David was a little surprised why Philip's change was so fast, but he persuaded Philip that David had no time to think about it any more. He nodded and hurriedly ran to the rear of the team again.

At this time, Bond had already come to the two of them. He listened to their conversation and looked at David who was running away. He wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.

When Philip saw Bond, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly walked forward and asked, "Master Bond, I remember you said when you were in the carriage that you have searched for that guy, right? What exactly is in the bag in his arms? I think he seems to value that bag very much!"

Hearing this question, Bond seemed to have finally found the entry point, his face was delighted, but then it became strange again...
