In the castle of turbulent City, Amado sat in the hall and silently looked at the Marquis sailin in front of him.


    The Marquis sailin said nothing and looked like a prisoner awaiting trial.


    "Marquis, we really don''t have to. Since I can come, it proves that the Archbishop still trusts you."


    Selin looked up at Amar and said, "deacon, I really appreciate you. I swear to the Lord that every word I say is true. Munchke did come to turbulence city once, but in addition, I had no contact with him. I gave him 50000 pounds of food. In addition, I didn''t give him anything!"


    "You gave him half a million pounds of food the other day."


    "That''s for general Pigou. I don''t know why it fell into munchke''s hands!"


    "There were half a million pounds before that."


    "That''s for Wilkins. I really don''t understand why it fell into munchke''s hand!"


    Marquis sailin''s voice grew louder and louder. Amado pressed his palm down: "I really believe you, but I have to give the Archbishop a reasonable explanation."


    "Isn''t my explanation reasonable enough? What should I do? Munchke is like a devil. As soon as he leaves turbulent City, everything will be shrouded in his shadow!"


    After that terrible war, Marquis sailin sent several letters to bucken with carrier pigeons, but these letters were tampered with by Manda.


    In the letter, sailin''s usual attitude is still maintained. They don''t offend each other and make money with kindness. Coupled with a series of rumors made by Manda, bucken thought that turbulent city had been secretly providing support to munchke.


    In his rage, bucken asked Amado to go to turbulent city in person to see the true attitude of Marquis sailin.


    Amado doesn''t want to come. If Marquis sailin has become an ally of munchke, Amado''s trip may be gone.


    But bucken''s order can''t be violated. Before arriving at the turbulent City, Amado was ready to escape, but when he really arrived at the turbulent City, he found that the situation was different from what he thought.


    Marquis sailin has always maintained his awe of bucken, and seems to have been living in fear. Sailin said that he had no knowledge of the previous letters, and it seems that someone usurped and changed the contents of the letters.


    Of course, all this is likely to be pretended by Marquis sailin. Action is the best means to identify lies. Amado put forward a request to ask Marquis sailin to send 500000 pounds of grain to LAN. If he agrees, it proves that there has been a misunderstanding before. If he disagrees, it proves that the Archbishop''s speculation is correct.


    Of course, he also has his own selfishness. It would be great if he could raise some military food for LAN.


    I didn''t expect that Selin really refused, and the reason was very absurd:


    "I have food. You can take as much as you want, but I have no cars and horses. Please give it to general Pigou yourself."


    Amado said angrily, "I only brought a dozen people here. How can you let me transport 500000 pounds of grain."


    "What I said is true. Turbulent city can''t even find a grain carriage."


    "Lord Marquis, I want to help you."


    "Deacon, I didn''t lie!"


    Sailin is really telling the truth. During this period, he sent out nearly two million pounds of grain and sent out more than 1000 carriages and ox carts, but all these carriages have no return. No matter how rich the city is, it can''t afford such extravagance.


    But Amado couldn''t understand. He thought Selin''s excuse was too stupid.


    The day ended unhappily. Late at night, Amado habitually opened the Styx Island, but he saw a letter that he would never forget.


    This is a letter written by the real LAN Pigou, which tells everything that has happened in the past few months.


    ……


    The next day, Amado, who had not closed his eyes all night, carefully sorted out his appearance and put some powder on his face to cover his haggard face.


    He met Marquis sailin again. Unlike before, he had no questions, no doubts, only the old feelings among his friends.


    The two talked all morning. Towards lunch, Amado sighed: "you are still you. Your kindness and sincerity have never changed. I believe you will not have any contact with the traitor and heretic munchke."


    Sailin''s eyes were wet: "do you really believe me?"


    Amado''s eyes were also red: "I never doubted you."


    The two men looked at each other for a long time, hugged each other, and tears rushed out of their eyes almost at the same time.


    They held for a long time before they reluctantly separated.


    "What are we doing and why are we crying?" Amado smiled. "The new year is coming. I think the Archbishop should look forward to your gift."


    "I''ve been ready for a long time," sailin asked someone to bring a delicate robe inlaid with 21 gemstones.


    "This is for the archbishop."


    Another attendant brought another robe, inlaid with twelve precious stones.


    "This is for you, my friend."


    There was no need to say more polite words. Amado hugged sailin again and whispered in his ear, "I''m leaving. The war has not subsided yet. Take good care of yourself."


    "Stay a little longer."


    "I have to get back before the new year. You know, Wang Du has a lot to do."


    Selin prepared a sumptuous lunch for Amado. He took the guards to the edge of the territory.


    On their way back, Selin called the knight Andres.


    "Take a shortcut, get to the mountain stream mouth in advance, stop Amado and bring his head back."


    Andres was stunned: "are you going to kill him? Isn''t he already..."


    "Do you think I will believe his nonsense? Yesterday, the sword was drawn and the crossbow was drawn. Today, he has a pleasant face. He has prepared the most vicious slander. He will weave countless charges for me in front of bucken. If he returns to the king''s capital, we will die."


    "Since you know what he thinks, why don''t you do it in the city?"


    "Are you crazy? How could I let him die in turbulent city? Don''t ask such stupid questions again, go and come back quickly!"


    Andres took a dozen assassins and set off immediately.


    Shanjiankou is the only way to the king''s capital. It takes two days to get there by main road, but Andres knows a short way, which only takes one and a half days.


    But he threw himself into the air. Amado didn''t go to the mountain stream mouth. He changed his direction not long after he left the turbulent city.


    The bodyguard asked, "Sir, where are we going?"


    "Go to seven star mountain."


    "What are you doing there?"


    "Find general Pigou."


    "But the Archbishop asked us..."


    "This is the Archbishop''s confidential task. Don''t ask!"


    Andres returned empty handed, and the Marquis of Selin fell into an abyss.


    "It''s over, it''s all over," said Selin, sitting in a chair in despair and looking up at Andres. "Recruit the young men in the whole city, let everyone take up arms, and even if they die, they will die at the head of the city. I will never be a prisoner of bucken."


    Andres took a deep breath. "Maybe I shouldn''t say that, sir. We have another way."
