Chapter 16 Intrigues

Chapter 16 Conspiracy

Although Lin Feng spent most of his time in the carriage practicing in the carriage, he would not always stay in the carriage. He would come out from time to time to get some breath and communicate with the people around him.

During this period, Lin Feng also learned more about Philip. In Lin Feng's impression, Philip rarely had an extreme expression. Perhaps his experience in this life was too rich, which made him calm in many things. It was because he had been discussing with George every day, which made him impatiently ask for help from Lin Feng, and Lin Feng did not see much rich expression on Philip's face.

So, this time, Lin Feng saw Philip's strange-looking face and quickly rode his horse towards him, and an unknown premonition suddenly arose in his heart!

Gerald also saw something wrong with Lin Feng. He followed Lin Feng's gaze and felt a little sank in his heart when he saw Philip rushing towards him. Then he turned around and asked Lin Feng carefully: "Sir, should you let the team stop first?"

"No need." Lin Feng waved his hand, then stood up and shouted to Philip who was running closer: "My commander, tell me, is there something wrong ahead?"

"Sir, nothing happened before, but I discovered something particularly strange."

Philip replied from afar, ran to Lin Feng's driving carriage, turned his horse over, continued to ride the horse and turned his head to Lin Feng, saying, "Sir... I just went to the farmland in front to find some farmers to find out the current situation here. After all, you have told me that only by going deep into the grassroots can you understand the most realistic situation."

"Is something wrong?" Lin Feng nodded, and saw Philip's face becoming weird again, and added: "Don't tell me you were riding a horse into the farmland."

"No, sir, I'll walk in aside." Philip quickly explained, and then his tone became a little frustrated: "But... the farmers are very cold to me."

"Indifference? What are you referring to?" Lin Feng frowned immediately.

Philip looked at Gerald, Lin Feng knew it and gave Philip a look. Then Philip said, "Sir, although I am your private army commander, I am definitely not the kind of person who judges the status of the people. After I put down my horse, I walked towards the farmers in the fields along the aisle in the fields. He glanced at me, ignored me and turned his eyes back to the fields.

Although I was a little puzzled at the time, I didn't think much about it. I used to talk to him politely, but he just looked at me coldly and said nothing. Although I didn't see hostility in his cold eyes, I saw a distance that I could not pull in.

Later, when I saw that he ignored me, I had to leave and walk to other farmlands. Later, I took the initiative to chat with the four farmers, but their attitudes were the same as the first one, just looking at me indifferently without saying a word.

Damn it! I don’t know where I offended these farmers!”

After saying this, Philip spitted hard on the ground with no image, his face full of shame and anger.

Gerald, who was standing beside him, glanced at Philip who was angry, and silently reached out to wipe the little spit that floated from the air to his face, curled his lips and said nothing.

Lin Feng didn't notice Gerald's actions, thought for a while, and asked Philip: "My commander, is your attitude scaring the other party?"

"Sir, absolutely not. You know my origin. I have never had a class vision. On the contrary, I feel extremely close to these farmers who can fill the stomachs of humans throughout the continent."

In front of Gerald, Philip did not say it clearly. After saying this, he added: "Even if I lacked attitude for the first time, I was very careful in the next four times, but the results I got were the same. I even doubt that the farmers here were originally xenophobic!"

Lin Feng nodded. He knew that Philip, who had been licking blood on the blade for his whole life, was definitely not a person of a force. Even because of the Marquis Carson, he was particularly close to those civilians who had no power to resist in front of the aristocratic class. He would definitely not do anything to use his identity to suppress civilians.

Afterwards, Lin Feng asked Philip a few more questions. After confirming that it was not his reason, he frowned and asked Gerald beside him: "My riding chief, you have been to Talvo before. Tell me, is it that the people here always have a cold attitude towards outsiders?"

Unlike the last time when he was ashamed, in front of Philip, the "Chief Riding Head" called by Lin Feng in person immediately made Gerald stand up straight. He threw a kind smile at Philip, and answered affirmatively:

"Sir, absolutely not. I don't know what problems did Commander Leglas encounter this time. When I came here before, the local people were very friendly. Even once, I met a kind farmer who reminded us that there were thieves blocking the road not far ahead."

Philip looked at Gerald with a surprise. He originally thought Gerald was just an ordinary groom, but he didn't expect that he was the Duke's chief riding coach. He rode... It seems that he would have something to do with him in the future, right?

Thinking of this, Philip also gave Gerald a kind smile back. However, when he heard Gerald's words, he couldn't help but frown: "Teacher Gerald, you seem to be an authentic imperial capital. Have you ever been to Talvo before to investigate the customs here for the adults?"

Philip's tone was a bit weird. He knew that the Duke was just a civilian in the past and had no subordinates at all. Gerald did not seem to be a friend of the Duke. Moreover, Lin Feng had only been two months since he became the Duke's Duke. Apart from this time starting from the Imperial Capital to the present, even when Lin Feng just became the Duke, Gerald could not have been able to travel to Talvo from the Imperial Capital one month ago, so Philip had this question.

When Gerald heard this question, a harmless smile appeared on his face, and he looked honest and honest: "No, I was just a groom before, but I took over Talvo's caravan business a few times."

This answer immediately made Philip speechless and stunned for a moment. When he was about to say something, he heard Lin Feng order: "Okay, you two have the opportunity to communicate in the future. My commander, you will go and call back the people you scattered out. Since the local people are indifferent, there is no need to continue inquiring for the time being. Let them come back, well... Then, you go and find David and I will wait for you in the carriage."

After saying this, Lin Feng turned around and got into the carriage.

"See the order, sir." Gerald responded and hurriedly drove his horse to run away quickly.

Staying alone in the carriage, Lin Feng couldn't help but wonder. He learned from General Renault that the people of Talvo had a gentle temper and were friendly to others. Logically speaking, there was no need for ordinary people to be so indifferent to the lord he transferred.

After all, I didn’t know anything about Talvo before, and I didn’t do anything that I would be sorry to the people of Talvo.

The armor on Philip's body was clearly printed with the Snow Demon Wolf family's emblem, and his large army was so large that even if ordinary civilians did not recognize the emblem of their family, they could think of the identity of their large team from a distance. I believe Philip would introduce himself when he was chatting with him.

It can be said that all the civilians Philip approached him must understand Philip's identity, but when the civilians knew Philip's identity, they turned to a cold attitude, which means that they had no good impression of the Snow Demon Wolf family!!

But why do these civilians have no good feelings for themselves? Even if they don’t have any good feelings, they don’t need to be so indifferent, right? They have just stepped into the Talvo border and have not issued any policies. Why do they have a bad impression of themselves?

Could it be that Crower made up some trouble here?

Before he arrived in Talvo, only Craul was the only one in the snow demon wolf family. The others accompanied were the etiquette officials responsible for conveying orders. What trouble could Craul make?

Moreover, the officials who served before handing over were all imperial officials!

Lin Feng couldn't figure it out.

After a while, Philip and David finally arrived in Lin Feng's carriage.

After Philip once again told the story in detail in front of Lin Feng and David, and Lin Feng took the initiative to say some of his own thoughts, David fell into long-term contemplation.

David's face turned pale. Lin Feng saw it and took advantage of David's opportunity to ponder, he casually asked Philip if something had happened just now.

Philip's expression was a little embarrassed, but it still explained why David's face turned pale.

It turned out that after Philip recalled all the elite cavalry, he took a cavalry and carried David to Lin Feng's carriage with his own horses. However, the convoy was moving forward all the time. Philip could not order a pause, so he had to ask David to step on the carriage when the horses were at the same speed as the carriage.

However, although David was twenty-six years old, he had never practiced any martial arts. Just stepped from the horse to Lin Feng's carriage, which was a big challenge for him. After that, Philip handed over his horse to the cavalry he brought, and then turned over and jumped onto the carriage.

After hearing this explanation, Lin Feng felt guilty suddenly in his heart. Because the incident in front of him, and the impression that almost everyone had had of cultivation, he inertially thought that this was not a difficult task at all. He ignored David, who had not practiced any cultivation, and at this time he couldn't help but say with apologies: "David, I'm so sorry, I was negligent."

"The Duke is so serious." Although David did not dare to accept Lin Feng's apology, a trace of warmth flashed in his eyes. Then, he stopped talking about the topic, but moved to the main topic: "Sir, I think the matter encountered by Commander Leglas is probably strange!"

"What's weird?" Lin Feng frowned: "You just tell me clearly."

"Yes." David nodded and continued: "I think the reason why the people that Commander Legras met are indifferent is probably because someone behind them deliberately created it."

"You mean those people are not real farmers?" Philip followed closely, and asked again unhappy: "Who are they? Why are they so indifferent to me? I don't remember the money I owe them!"

"No, my commander, you're wrong. David should be referring to someone who is manipulating this matter behind his back." Lin Feng shook his head, and at the same time urged David to continue: "Okay, David, let me say all your views."

When he heard Lin Feng's words, Philip immediately closed his mouth tactfully, and at the same time he also looked at David's puzzled eyes.

"Yes, sir, but can I ask you a question first?" David's voice was very sincere.

Lin Feng nodded: "Ask."

"Sir, who do you think Talvo is divided into your territory?"

"Are you talking about Baron Vic, the governor of Talvo Province?"

Lin Feng did not hide his thoughts: "I did threaten his interests, but he was just an imperial official. Even if he left Talvo Province, he would still be transferred to other places. Although there was a lot of oil here, if he was dissatisfied with my entire Snow Demon Wolf family because of this reason, and so he made such a move behind his back, it would only be said that he was too ugly!

Moreover, the Governor was the second prince before, and he should have understood that although the current emperor did not say anything, he would never be able to use him. It would be a matter of time before he was transferred. If he had a little brain, he would not be able to be an enemy of me in such a thing. Besides, I believe that a person who can sit in the Governor's position is definitely not a fool!"

"Yes, sir, you said it right. He probably won't be an enemy of you. But..." David paused for a moment, then whispered: "What if it were someone else?"

"Are you talking about the Marquis?" Lin Feng's face was obviously puzzled: "I know, he must be dissatisfied with me killing his distant relatives, but Talvo is my territory after all, how did he reach into his hand?"

"I think it's very simple." David took a light breath and analyzed: "You think... you killed Gate, and the Parker family must have no good feelings for you, and now you have come to Talvo and become their neighbor, which is definitely a threat to them.

The Parker family dare not do anything to you in the open. Even when you are on their territory, they must be careful to receive you, for fear that something will happen to you in the Parker Plain, and then start a war with this reason...

However, they dare not come out of the open, but they dare to come out of the secret. I think the reason why the people here are indifferent is definitely the result of the manipulation behind the Parker family. As for how they put their hands into your territory, I think this is probably unrelated to the current Governor...

However, you can rest assured that the Parker family only dares to vent their anger in secret, and may not dare to put things on the table. So, I think the Parker family just wants to give you a warning. Although I don’t know if there are other things besides the indifference of the people to your arrival, it should have little impact on you."

Although David has become Lin Feng's confidant, as a civilian, when talking about these bigwigs with superb status and heavy power, he still dare not be too sharp in his words. However, even if he said so obscurely, Lin Feng understood what he meant.

According to David's intention, the Parker family secretly colluded with the current governor of Talvo Province, and successfully reached into their territory. After all, the Parker family disliked him, and the current governor of Talvo must be dissatisfied with him.

What's important is that neither side dares to show this dissatisfaction on the surface, and both sides have a common purpose, so the two joined forces and secretly prepared to give themselves a look.

Although Lin Feng couldn't figure it out before, after David's reminder, all the ideas were connected. However, after thinking for a while, he shook his head: "David, if this Baron Vic secretly colluded with the Parker family to plot against me because of dissatisfaction, then he can only say that he is too stupid. But if he is really a stupid person, he may not be just as simple as venting his anger in secret.

Moreover, if he really colluded with the Parker family, wouldn't he think about it? I wouldn't have considered him? Instead of secretly interfering, he would also be guilty of colluding with other nobles. It would be better to make things difficult for me on the surface. At least, the openly harshness cannot make me use my power secretly. My words and deeds with him are also on the surface, and they will definitely be heard in Dandy's ears. At most, I complained to Dandy, but I could not really "hurt" him.

If he secretly colluded with the Parker family, once the matter was exposed, he would definitely take the blame in order to get rid of the relationship! This is simply a more stupid way than to fight me publicly! I think as a governor of the province, this must be considered. If he really foolishly chose to be the scapegoat of the Parker family, then he really doesn't want to leave Talvo alive!!"

In the end, Lin Feng's anger was obvious, which made David and Philip in the car unable to help but subconsciously hold their breath.

Hearing Lin Feng finished speaking, David took a deep breath and said carefully: "Sir, I think Baron Vic will definitely not choose to collude with the Parker family. After all, the fact that Talvo already belongs to your territory cannot be changed, and the fact that he returned to the imperial capital and waited for transfer cannot be changed. For the sake of a moment of excitement, it is definitely not a wise choice to take the initiative to oppose you or secretly collude with the Parker family..."

"Okay, David, I understand all these, I'm talking about the key points." Lin Feng interrupted.

"Yes." David did not dare to be a little negligent and continued: "I don't think Baron Vic has to collude with the Parker family. He just turns a blind eye to some of the behaviors of the Parker family. When you ask, he will tell you that he is busy handing over the resignation and is not aware of other situations. At that time, you can't say anything, and at most you can only write a letter to protest.

I think... no matter how much Your Majesty is biased towards you, if you encounter such a situation about the Governor-General and your own private affairs, it will probably end up in vain, and you will have to suffer this loss."

David's words woke up the dreamer with one word, and Lin Feng immediately reacted!

Perhaps it was because of the obsession of the authorities that Lin Feng's thinking was limited, but after he reacted, he reached the point: "I understand, what you mean is that this Baron Vic deliberately put the Parker family in! But I really want to know what method the Parker family used to make ordinary civilians feel so indifferent to me!"

"Yes, sir, I do mean this. But this question that happened to you is something I can't figure out for a long time." David sighed quietly: "I really can't think of how the Parker family secretly distorted the ideas of the civilians."

Lin Feng frowned and took a deep breath. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt the carriage under him shaking violently, like a powerful inertia brought by a sudden brake!

This inertia caught all three people in the carriage off guard. With their strong strength, Lin Feng and Philip forced themselves to stabilize their bodies at the first time, but David, who had no strength, was thrown towards the door frame of the carriage by this sudden inertia.
