Let Me Shoulder This Blame!

Chapter 4: Great betrayer

Views:

Su Shi raised his head and looked at him.

The gaze fixed on him was calm, even warm.

It is so warm that people can almost ignore the bottomless dripping blood.

"… No."

Su Shi staggered his gaze, supported the lieutenant's arm vigorously and stood up, his face paled a lot because of such overreaching movements.

The defense that had been temporarily let go due to weakness returned to his eyes, his expression became indifferent, and his tone was indifferent: "I'm not here to catch up on the old days. If His Highness Vino is fine, I'll take my leave first."

No matter how you are a well-known player in the plane, even if you fly with cooked experience points, you must fly with dignity.

After all, there are still a lot of people who misunderstood him. At least he still has a chance to take the blame and die. As long as he is steady, he can still win.

Hearing the other party's cold tone, Vino narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Dana in a daze for a while, then suddenly lowered his eyes and smiled very lightly.

You brilliance gradually faded from his eyes, but it seemed to be well restrained, and placed in his eyes with all the treasures.

"I see, Dana... You stay here, don't you have something to say to me?"

"That's right - I will tell them to isolate you alone, take care of you with good food and drink, and send you back to Isherton Palace in two days."

After being reminded by him, Su Shi remembered the business that he had almost forgotten, took a deep breath to cheer himself up, and turned around to look at him.

"'His Royal Highness Vino got along very well with President Terrence, and agreed to abandon the past grievances, return to Isarton Palace and sincerely cooperate with the government, and work together for the country's tomorrow.' What do you think of this press release? ?”

"Not bad. The Terence government will think this is a good opportunity to drive a wedge between me and the rebel army. The rebel army can confirm my location based on this report, and then find a way to rescue me."

Vino was silent for a moment, watching him walk to the door, and finally said softly: "If possible, Dana, I hope you won't be there at that time."

The plan was not completely sure, once something happened, he really didn't want to see the other party risk his life to protect himself again.

The hand that was pressing the doorknob paused suddenly. Dana didn't answer, but he didn't continue to open the door either.

The lieutenant held the weak marshal firmly, and looked at him hesitantly.

"Don't worry, we are still enemies. You are the betrayer I hate and the murderer who killed the teacher. I will never forgive you in my life."

Vino spoke softly, with a soft and gentle tone that was completely different from the content of the conversation: "So that day, don't let me see you, okay?"

"it is good… "

The person standing at the door responded very softly, and his slightly tired back sharpened into a soldier's straightness again.

He suddenly turned around to meet Vino's gaze, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't speak after all, and walked out the door slowly with the lieutenant's support.

The door was slowly closed, as if covering a very soft sigh.

"you say-"

Being supported by the lieutenant into the car, Su Shi leaned exhausted on the passenger seat, still harboring a faint sense of luck: "Are the last words he said to comfort me?"

"It's also possible that His Royal Highness Vino was really fooled by you, and believed that you were a traitor again, and wanted to officially break with you and declare war."

The lieutenant meticulously raised his hand to shift gears, turned on the temperature control system, and answered in a low voice after a moment of silence.

Su Shi opened his eyes, turned his head to meet the lieutenant's upright peripheral vision, and added after a while: "Are you comforting me?"

The loyal lieutenant held his breath subconsciously, his resolute face twisted slightly, and he fell into a dilemma.

"Forget it, I still don't ask."

Su Shi chuckled dumbly, shook his head helplessly, and cast his gaze out of the car window: "You will be struck by lightning if you lie, I still won't implicate you..."

Before they finished speaking, their car suddenly shook violently, accompanied by a piercing explosion, and their field of vision was quickly engulfed by dazzling white light.

The presidential palace has become a mess.

The situation that Su Shi had painstakingly created for a long time finally had an effect. He was used to Marshal Dana being in charge of the central government, and the Terrence government, which lost its CEO, was almost completely paralyzed in an instant.

The president was called up urgently from the bed, and finally the flustered situation could be regarded as stable. However, there was still no one to take care of the detailed arrangements of many matters, and it was difficult to convey many orders immediately and effectively.

The increasingly chaotic personnel deployment finally caught Vino's attention.

"What happened, you've been here, Dana?"

Taking advantage of the opportunity of delivering breakfast, Vino stopped the lieutenant who was always by Dana's side, and some ominous premonitions had already arisen in his heart.

The lieutenant met his gaze, and after a moment of silence, he spoke slowly: "The Marshal was held hostage by the rebel army and requested to release His Royal Highness Vino. The two sides are still negotiating, please wait patiently."

The hand holding his wrist tightened suddenly, and the lieutenant raised his head, and for the first time saw a mixture of shock, anxiety and pain on Vino's face.

Those eyes seemed to be suddenly filled with monstrous waves, but they were suppressed by reason for a moment: "When did it happen? Isn't there no protection around him? How did his whereabouts leak out?"

"Just last night, the marshal didn't want his weak state to be seen, so he refused the escort of the guards. The whereabouts are top secret, and we don't know why it was leaked."

The lieutenant slowed down his grip, lowered his head and looked away, and pushed the soup bowl over meticulously.

"The marshal gave up his resistance and asked the rebel army to let me go on this condition. I was ordered to look after you, Your Highness Vino. Your condition also determines the marshal's safety, so please eat properly so that the injury can recover as soon as possible."

"But you should also know that they won't be kind to him..."

Not at all.

Vino's eyes fell on the bowl of soup, the noodles were warm and calm without any waves.

There was a flaw in the plan to send him back to Isherton Palace. Although the status of the royal family is enough to temporarily save his life, there are many radicals in Terence's government, and they would rather use their own death to intensify the situation and start a war.

As long as he returned to Isherton Palace, there would definitely be assassins following him, so he hoped that Dana would not be there.

He had seen the hidden danger long ago, but he didn't point it out, because with Dana's identity and situation, he had reached the limit to do this in order to protect him.

But now, the chips are enough.

The marshal is still in the hands of the rebel army, and the president will definitely not allow any mistakes in the exchange. No one has the guts to assassinate himself at this time.

The whereabouts are top secret, even the lieutenant is not fully informed.

It was Dana who personally leaked the information to the rebel army, and voluntarily fell into the hands of the rebel army to ensure his absolute safety.

"Nuya, at that time - did he have something to say to me?"

Vino tried his best to calm down his tone, watched him speak slowly.

He still remembered that when he was about to leave, Dana swallowed some words again.

He must have something to say to himself, but he didn't succeed. Maybe it's because the scars and gaps in the past are too deep, or maybe it's because I still haven't found the right time.

Or maybe it was because of his own shot.

Meeting his gaze, the lieutenant's eyes suddenly turned red, and he quickly lowered his head.

This action caused Vino's heart to tighten suddenly, as if scorching heat rolled through his internal organs, stabbing him out of breath.

He has to know.

Vino's voice became hoarse, but his tone was still calm, calmer than any previous sentence: "Tell me, what does he want to tell me?"

His resolute body trembled slightly, and the lieutenant raised his head with red eyes, meeting the scorching lava that was about to flow out of those eyes.

The marshal's pale face seemed to appear in front of his eyes again, and his shallow smile was soft and relieved, so relieved that people couldn't help but feel strong fear.

The lieutenant's chest heaved violently several times before he finally said in a hoarse voice, "The Marshal said, I want you to remember to eat well, heal your wounds well, and live well..."

He just wanted to keep him alive.

Vino lowered his eyes in silence, and sat motionless, his figure seemed to have frozen into a cold statue.

The magma poured everything into a hard shell, sealing all the emotions firmly in it, leaving only the faint and hidden pain from which there was no escape.

"Nuya, I know you can be trusted, listen to me."

All plans were overthrown in an instant, Vino spoke in a deep voice, his tone has changed into an unquestionable toughness and determination.

"He must have such an idea. Dana has been in charge of the executive center for a long time. The current government does not have an effective executor. When the day of the hostage exchange is delayed, the internal affairs must already be in chaos. If we attack at this time, it is The most favorable time for the rebels."

The lieutenant's eyes quickly focused, and he nodded silently.

"This battle must have happened after the exchange of hostages. It is impossible for Dana to help the government army win this war, but according to his previous performance, he didn't even leave any retreat for himself."

Vino quickly integrated all the known situations, but his mind sank more and more.

He met the lieutenant's suddenly focused gaze, and his throat seemed to tighten slightly.

"He never intended to come back alive from the start. We have to stop him—no matter what happens, we have to keep him alive, Nuya, do you understand?"
