Raft Survival: Fished a mermaid at the beginning

Chapter 213 It's too abominable!

But in order not to arouse the suspicion of the princes present and add variables to the cooperation, he still pretended to know.

"Yes, a group of rebels, taking advantage of the outbreak of the war, want to overthrow the kingdom's rule. Such traitors are severely punished in any country."

Howard's face was serious.

The princes present whispered to each other and discussed in low voices.

Naturally, they also heard various rumors, such as the king being emptied, Rasputin in control of everything, and Oliver going against the grain.

This group of people are all good people, and naturally they didn't come to eat, but to watch the wind before the battle to decide whether they want to join the war and whether it will be profitable.

After hearing Howard's explanation, everyone nodded.

"That's right! Rebellion is a felony in any country!"

"I support His Majesty the King in granting these traitors eternal peace!"

The princes loudly agreed.

At this time, Ted was not satisfied.

He asked: "I heard that Garcia's family was also arrested. Before I came, I went to the execution ground. Garcia's wife was naked and tied to a table with disgusting comments and mocking. It makes me very angry."

"Soldier Captain Garcia is a very familiar person. Our two countries have cooperated many times in military exercises. There is no way he is a traitor."

"I don't know about this, how can King Howard explain it?"

Ted looked directly at Howard with lightning eyes.

Howard only felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.

What!Oliver is going to kill Garcia's family?
Is he crazy?

A magnitude nine earthquake occurred in Howard's heart.

Ted seemed to see the flicker in Howard's eyes and his insincere words.

He frowned and didn't ask any further.

At this time, other princes involved the rebels again.

These young men were more interested in the rebels than Garcia.

Howard took the opportunity to put aside the topic, and chatted with the princes again.

As a hundred-year-old king, he has eaten more salt than these people have eaten rice.

Naturally, it is easy to fool him.

He told the story of the rebels' massacre of the village with great emotion.

After hearing this, the young people were filled with righteous indignation.

"The rebels massacred the village! It's so abominable!"

"They should be sent to the guillotine. Hanging will be an advantage for them!"

Howard shook his head slowly, with a look of compassion.

"It's all because I, the king, am old and dim and unable to listen to the voices of his people. If I had spent more time reviewing memorials, perhaps these tragedies would not have happened. The responsibility lies entirely with me!"

There was a look of respect in the eyes of the young princes.

"Old king, you are old, you must take care of your health!"

"That's right! These troublemakers, no matter how nice you are to them, they will eat you up!"

The princes looked very angry.

Ted frowned.

Although he is only 36 years old, he is relatively young in this group of kings.

But when he was young, he witnessed his father being torn from the crown prince by his brothers.

Lost inheritance rights.

Afterwards, the new king, although favored in every possible way, expressed his apology.

It is said that everything is for the people, and those who have to do their jobs.

But Ted was very clear.

Everything is the emperor's mind.

Tate's eyes gradually turned cold.

perhaps!

Father admired Howard back then, just because he was more like a king.

Ted probably understood his father's good intentions.

After breakfast, it was about eleven o'clock.

The princes made an appointment to go out of the palace to visit.

Howard also specially arranged for the guards to accompany him.

The vigilance in the palace was obviously much less.

But Howard didn't care.

He has lived to be a hundred years old, and he still has a few more years to live. Those who wanted to assassinate him back then are almost dead.

He really had the last laugh.

After talking all morning, Howard's eyelids became heavy and he felt drowsy.

Shaking his tired body, he returned to the palace, turned around and dismissed the servants, lying alone on the big bed covered with velvet quilts.

As soon as Howard closed his eyes, he heard a low and hoarse voice from behind the curtain.

"Your Majesty the King!"

When Howard heard the voice, he woke up suddenly, completely out of sleep.

This sound!
It turned out to be Garcia!

How could he come!

Howard looked nervously at the curtains.

Behind the curtain, three people came out.

The leader turned out to be Warrior Captain Garcia.

Howard's eyes widened. At this moment, he finally remembered that the secret path built by his grandfather was not closed.

I am really old!
How could you forget such an important thing!

Howard wanted to slap himself.

He looked at Garcia in shock, and subconsciously groped behind the pillow.

There is a magic talisman given by Rasputin hidden under the pillow, as long as you pinch it and whisper to it, you can call the police.

Who knew that Garcia knelt down on the ground with a face full of guilt.

"I have not returned for many days. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Huh?" Howard's eyes suddenly rounded.

He was confused by Garcia's words.

Doesn't Garcia know about the rebels?

It was precisely because Garcia's family was arrested that Oliver acted in reverse.

That's what caused the rebel army to swarm!

Howard was surprised: "Garcia, you just came back? Didn't you hear anything?"

Garcia nodded, "Yes, I just returned home. I ran into rebels on the road, and I was concerned about His Majesty's safety, so I hurried back through the secret passage."

Howard narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Then have you heard anything?"

Garcia suddenly became emotional and burst into tears.

"My father, wife and children were captured by the rebels!"

"Oh...really?" Howard's narrowed eyes slowly opened.

At this moment, Howard's heart hanging in the air finally let go.

It turns out he doesn’t know anything!
The magic token that was clenched tightly in his hand was also released silently.

Howard originally thought that Garcia knew that his father, wife and children were about to be hanged, so he entered the palace and assassinated him.

Who knows, Garcia was kept in the dark.

fine……

Ok!

Howard slowly breathed a sigh of relief, his face became majestic.

His gaze swept over the two behind Garcia.

"they are?"

Garcia pointed to Xiao Yang and Alice, and introduced them respectively: "They are friends I met on the road, this is Luffy, and this is Asuna."

"Oh? Friends?" Howard frowned slightly.

He saw that these two people were expressionless, with ordinary looks, and there was nothing special about them, and they seemed to be in no danger.

Howard struggled up from the bed.

Show a gentle smile.

"Garcia, Oliver said you betrayed him, but I don't believe it."

"Your father, wife and children, I have already received the palace in advance, and you can meet soon."

When Garcia heard this, his face suddenly became surprised. He walked a dozen steps quickly and came to the bed.

"Really? Your Majesty, thank you so much!"

"You care so much about me, even if I go through fire and water, I will die!"

Garcia slammed his head on the ground hard, making a thumping sound.

Xiao Yang's pupils contracted a bit.

Alice seemed to have noticed it too, and leaned close to Xiao Yang's ear, and said in an inaudible voice.

"The old king is lying."

Xiao Yang didn't move his expression, feeling the fragrant hot air that made his earlobes itch slightly.

"Oh? How did you see it?" Xiao Yang's eyes tilted slightly.
