An idea suddenly came to his mind, and the guy who was desperate to get his wife's attention started to find trouble and make trouble again.
Either the food was not tasty, or the carriage was too bumpy. Later, even the water they found was said to be of poor quality and difficult to swallow. The problems were so outrageous.
The people in the Paladin Order had finally come to have a better impression of Chen Tian, but now, they were dissatisfied with him again.
It seems that this Duke Gosset is really a difficult person to serve, and his daily routine is to find trouble when there is nothing to do!
However, maintaining his image was not his primary goal, but because he discovered that there was actually a small tail following them not far away.
Through 009, Chen Tian easily found out that the person following them was John, who had been beaten up by Roderick before.
As an independent mercenary, and a leading figure in this region, he must be quite capable. While his fighting skills weren't as strong as his lover's, he seemed quite adept at hiding. That's why, after following him for so long, none of the Paladins had noticed him.
Chen Tian had known Belinda's plan for a long time, and he expected this person to follow them. However, he didn't try to stop her. Thinking about what he had learned from 009 about Belinda's plan to do tonight, Chen Tian couldn't help but feel excited.
As long as you use it well, this is a good opportunity for your partner to enhance their relationship!
So he took some things that Lulu had prepared in advance and put them on his body. Chen Tian then began to rest leisurely with his eyes closed in the carriage.
When the whole team set up their tents in the wild at night and started to have dinner together, Belinda came over again to show her goodwill and handed her a glass of fruit juice.
This time, Chen Tian did not refuse. After all, the fruit juice was very expensive and tasted very good.
He knew that Belinda had added something to the smoothie so that he would have to get up alone at night.
Seeing the joy on Belinda's face after he drank the fruit juice in front of her, Chen Tian's eyes flashed with cunning. After a simple dinner, he returned to the tent.
Seeing that the little duke used much less than usual and remained silent after getting out of the carriage, Roderick felt heavy-hearted and the atmosphere in the camp seemed to become stagnant.
No one knew what had happened to their captain and Duke Gosset, but it seemed like something was amiss all day. So everyone stayed quiet that night, taking care of their own business, and then went to rest and keep watch in groups.
Belinda also returned to her tent early, pretending to rest, but in fact she remained awake the entire time. As midnight approached, her nerves were on edge, constantly keeping an eye out for any movement in Chen Tian's tent.
After waiting for a long time, just when she felt exhausted, she finally saw the tent not far away being opened. The boy inside came out, left the tent alone and went to the nearby woods.
The other person moved very quickly, and looked like he was in a hurry to relieve himself.
Belinda also quickly stood up quietly, and was delighted to find that the Duke was alone, without any servants. She felt that the Duke's vigilance was too poor, which gave her a good opportunity.
However, Belinda, who was following closely behind Chen Tian, didn't know that not long after they ran out, Lulu quietly found Roderick, who had just returned from patrolling the east side and was sitting by the fire to rest, according to Chen Tian's previous instructions.
"Sir Knight Commander, could you please check on the master's condition? He just had some personal matters to deal with and went out. Although the master said that he was just nearby, I still feel a little worried because he didn't let anyone follow him." Lulu said gently.
"What? Duke Gosset just left alone?" Roderick stood up quickly when he heard this.
"Yes, my Lord Knight, the master said he was feeling unwell and needed to go to the woods. He ordered no one to follow him. But we are in the forest after all, and it's too dangerous to go alone!"
Lulu said, a look of worry on her face.
"Okay, I got it. I'll be there now."
Upon hearing this, Roderick immediately nodded, looked at the direction Lulu pointed, and chased after her.
Someone had seen the little duke leaving before, but the person who saw him told him that there was someone following him, so Roderick was not too worried.
But now, Lulu found him and said that the boy hadn't asked anyone to follow him. So who was following the young duke? Was it someone from the camp who happened to go out together, or was there something else...
In short, for the safety of his beloved, Roderick decided to quickly find Chen Tian. At worst, if Chen Tian didn't want to see him, he would just not show up as long as he could ensure his beloved's safety.
On the other side, when Roderick went out to look for someone, Chen Tian had already met John who was guarding near the camp.
This man suddenly appeared here and blocked Chen Tian's way, just as he had agreed with Belinda.
The purpose was to create an opportunity for Belinda, so that the woman could pretend to be a hero saving a beauty and become Chen Tian's benefactor, so that he could get the generous reward that Belinda had promised him before.
So, when John saw that the young man was indeed not followed by anyone else, he immediately rushed out. He walked up to Chen Tian with a smirk on his face and said to him arrogantly, "Boy, if you know what's happening, just follow me."
Chen Tian saw the man opposite him and sneered in boredom, not wanting to talk to him any more. Belinda, who had followed him, was delighted to see this, thinking that her chance had finally come.
Just as she was about to rescue Chen Tian with the expensive magic scroll she had brought from Gray Tower City, she was struck by a fierce sword move.
If John hadn't had good combat awareness and dodged quickly, his arm would have been chopped off.
John was startled when he saw this and quickly took a few steps back. He saw the great knight he had seen before, holding a silver sword in his hand, staring at him with cold eyes.
Seeing the opponent about to attack him with one move after another, John remembered the tragic scene of being kicked to the ground by the opponent before. He was no match for a Level 5 Knight.
Damn it! That woman clearly told him that this matter was foolproof and that the other party would definitely not follow him. Is this what she meant by not following him?
Seeing that the opponent's moves were deadly, John felt extremely regretful. Although Belinda promised a generous reward, no matter what, it was not as important as his own life!
After struggling to dodge the opponent's attack, John quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, tears streaming down his face. His miserable appearance made Chen Tian a little stunned. He felt that this man was very flexible and had good acting skills.
However, he had no intention of letting him go easily. He sneered and said, "You are really brave. You actually dared to attack this Duke. A whole team of Paladins is not far away, and you dared to come here alone. I really don't know whether to call you brave or stupid!"
"What? The Duke? And a whole team of Paladins!"
When John heard this, he was completely dumbfounded. He was just an independent mercenary. Although he was always confident in his own strength, he was just a frog in the well.
In a small place like Rose Town, he naturally had nothing to fear. In the past, besides his mercenary work, he would also rob passing teams, making a lot of money thanks to his strength. But he never imagined that a dignified duke would actually pass through such a remote place like theirs.
The next second, he thought of Belinda, who had come to see him. That woman had never told him the identities of the people in the team, only that they were strong and that, with the exception of the captain, there was nothing to fear from the others.
If he knew that the person they were protecting was the Duke, how could he possibly accept such a mission! To attack the Duke would be to become an enemy of the Kingdom!
Thinking of this, John gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment towards Belinda. But it was obvious that no matter how much he begged, the two people opposite him were not going to let him go.
Just as Roderick was about to detain this man and bring him to justice, John suddenly pulled out a scroll from his arms and quickly tore it open. Then, a puff of smoke swept him up and he disappeared right in front of the two men.
"It's actually a high-level magic scroll!"
Roderick frowned and could only watch the person escape before his eyes. It seemed that it was specially used for concealment and escape.
Such a scroll is not cheap. John felt very painful about it. He would never use it unless it was a life-or-death moment.
On the other hand, when Belinda saw Roderick appear and knew that her plan was bound to fail, she secretly slipped away for fear of being implicated.
But Chen Tian would not let her, the planner, get away with it comfortably. Since he wanted to plot against her, he had to think about the consequences.
Roderick's attention was focused on John before, and although he noticed another presence around him, he didn't pay attention. Now that he realized it, Belinda had already escaped.
But Chen Tian has another way.
No matter how powerful the scroll's magic was, John couldn't escape Chen Tian's grasp. So the Demon King simply moved his fingers quietly and sent John to Belinda's escape route.
The two met unexpectedly, and when Belinda saw John, her face was filled with shock that she could not hide.
However, she quickly adjusted her expression, feigning ignorance, and suppressed her inner anxiety as she said, "How's the plan going? I'm worried it won't be that easy to succeed, but it's okay, we still have a chance. If you do well, I'll even give you a raise!"
Who knew that the man opposite him would look at him with a ferocious expression and said in a stern voice, "A pay raise? You bitch actually dragged me into kidnapping the Duke, you just want me to die! Pay? I think you should pay the debt first!"
As he spoke, he looked at the beautiful Belinda opposite him with a fierce look in his eyes and pushed her to the ground on the grass.
Although Belinda had been with many people in private in Gray Tower City before, those people were all handsome and could bring benefits to her.
But now, he was being insulted by this ugly and lowly mercenary. It was all the fault of Roderick and Duke Gosset!
By now, the two of them were far from the camp, and Belinda was worried that if they were discovered, her previous plan would be exposed and her involvement would be known. So, she could only swallow the bitter fruit of her own making with hatred.
On this side, let’s not talk about how the time-traveling girl suffered the consequences of her own actions. On the other side, Roderick rarely looked cold towards Chen Tian.
"Duke Gosset, why did you leave the camp alone so late? Do you know that you might be in danger?"
"So what? It's none of your business!" Chen Tian said stubbornly.
"How can it be none of my business? Protecting your safety is the duty of the entire Paladin Order!"
Roderick glared at the little duke in front of him, wishing he could drag this disobedient little thing over, strip off his pants, and give him a good spanking.
He didn't dare to imagine how dangerous the situation was just now. If he hadn't appeared in time, what terrible things would have happened to the boy!
