Chapter 128 The Pegg Rebellion

"Sir, that kid is just bluffing!"

"No, it's not safe here anymore!!"

Even if Liu Yufei came in blindfolded, the Earl still didn't trust him. This base had been in use for too long, and it was time to replace it.

Whether Liu Yufei is an envoy or not is not important. What is important is that they have confirmed that Liu Yufei is a Laputa person, and that is enough. Liu Yufei will inevitably bring their message with him when he goes out.

Little did they know that they had inadvertently kidnapped the leader of Laputa. If they didn't let Liu Yufei go, he could solo this shabby base all by himself, without even needing Laputa! And he could do a speedrun.

"Count, submitting to the princess is actually a way out. I've heard that Her Highness..."

The old man didn't continue speaking, because he saw the count's eyes, which were not filled with anger, but with contempt.

"What utter nonsense! You actually believed it?! Living off royal promises, haven't we suffered enough over the years?"

Liu Yufei isn't here! If he were, he'd definitely admit he misjudged them! There's no way he could understand these people's petty schemes, whether in his past or present life. Liu Yufei was a nobody, the largest team he'd ever led was a forty-person raid!

This is why the count can be the leader while the old man can only be the strategist. He can see through many things at a glance, while the old man is the kind of person who is too clever for his own good. He only has petty cleverness but no great wisdom.

The Earl, however, was different. His naiveté was genuine, his wisdom was genuine, his courage was genuine, and his kindness was genuine!

This man was definitely power-hungry, otherwise he wouldn't have called himself a count. But between power and the people, he chose the people. So what he wanted was not gunboats and warships, but food.

By the time Liu Yufei came out, it was almost dusk. He immediately checked the communication network and was furious! Your boss has been missing for so long, and no one has even asked about him?

Instead of returning to Laputa, Liu Yufei went back to the former site of the Petit Palace. Thanks to Laputa's industrial development, the once dilapidated palace had been completely transformed in less than a day.

The mechs were still busy when Sivir came over as soon as Liu Yufei walked in!

"Young Master, where have you been playing?!"

"Playing around... never mind, whatever makes you happy! Don't worry, I'm not going to die!!"

Seeing Liu Yufei's ambiguous expression, Sivir was already used to it, and then smiled and said:

"You can go and see Miss Rasdale's dress; I designed it myself!!"

"What's so great about clothes? That's a girl's business!"

Seeing Liu Yufei like this, Sivir immediately stepped forward to pull him away, but Liu Yufei immediately refused:

"I really don't want to look; the photos will suffice..."

"Sivir, how about we bring the badge here... Sivir..."

Just then, Rasdale, dressed in a brand new dress, ran outside and came face to face with Liu Yufei.

"Hey, take a look!! Uh, I mean, it's pretty good..."

Lasdale's face flushed red to the roots of her neck, and she turned and ran inside in an instant. Liu Yufei also reacted.

"I said I didn't want to watch it, but you insisted, and now this is causing such a commotion..."

"Young Master, I meant for you to look carefully, not to look at me like that..."

"What kind of look is that? Explain yourself! I, your young master, am upright, honest, radiant, brilliant, and completely just..."

"A bachelor all by himself..."

Sivir went inside with a huff, leaving Liu Yufei speechless! Is it my fault?

In truth, how could Liu Yufei not know what Sivir was thinking? But how to put it? First, Lasdale is still a girl, and Liu Yufei wouldn't be so beastly as to do that. It would be more like it if he were like Kushana.

Secondly, Liu Yufei was afraid because he knew that the thing people can least control is their own feelings, and that day would come sooner or later. But what about Liu Yufei? To put it nicely, he was a traveler; to put it bluntly, he was a wanderer. He couldn't take anything from this world with him.

Sylvie knew this too, so she did everything she could to try and keep Liu Yufei with her.

Just then, the captain walked in.

"Young Master, the battlefield has been cleaned up!"

Actually, there wasn't much disturbance, since the fighting between the two sides wasn't intense, so Torumekia didn't lose many soldiers, and the captain has already ordered them to be burned.

"Okay, how much grain is left in the warehouse?"

"Young Master, the disaster victims have already received their food and seeds!!"

"Stop talking nonsense, so what if your system is more advanced now?"

If he were still the original captain, he wouldn't have questioned Liu Yufei at all; he would have simply followed his orders faithfully. But after coming to this world, especially after living with Sivir for so long, this country bumpkin has learned to think for himself!

In fact, Liu Yufei didn't know that the captain's thinking was gradually approaching that of a human being; otherwise, he wouldn't have made such a fuss about Liu Yufei last time.

Late at night, the machines in Laputa finally stopped, and Liu Yufei lay on the roof, looking at the half-moon in the sky.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the rebels were moving their base under the cover of night, and the Count was personally overseeing the operation because of the large number of heavy weapons they carried.

"My lord, we intercepted a caravan ahead, but we didn't spot any enemies!"

"A convoy? What's going on with a convoy? Let's go check it out!!"

The count quickly led his attendants to the main road, where there were indeed six or seven carriages covered with black cloth. The count did not approach rashly, but instead glanced at the strategist behind them.

"My lord, it looks very similar to the cars of Torumekia, but this type of car is only found in their capital. Here..."

The old man had seen some of the world, but not much. In this world, industry and transportation of goods mostly relied on horse-drawn carriages. Upon seeing this, the count immediately asked:

"Have you seen what's inside?"

The soldiers hesitated, unsure how to answer. In fact, none of them dared to approach the car after seeing it, wondering if it was a group of insect trainers inside! If they got involved, they would be finished immediately.

The count could tell from the soldier's expression. Although somewhat angry, he still said:

"You did the right thing, bring me the protective suit!!"

"Your Excellency, you..."

"We can't send these kids!"

The count was not old, only in his early forties, but the soldiers were all teenagers, naturally children! After saying that, he put on his protective gear, opened the back of the carriage, reached inside, and immediately felt relieved. He then took off his mask and protective gear.

Seeing that everyone was alright, they came over.

"Don't worry, this is just a truckload of grain!! Check the other vehicles, see if they have any weapons!!"

The soldiers immediately searched the other vehicles and found they were all filled with grain.

"Your Excellency, it's all grain! That's wonderful! With this grain, the children and women won't go hungry anymore!"

The soldier was delighted, but the count stared wide-eyed at the strategist, whose pupils were almost as large as his own, and said in a trembling voice:

"Is it all grain?"

Seeing the strategist's expression, the soldier assumed he was overjoyed and said nothing more. He immediately waved and said:

"Hey guys, give me a hand!!"

The count was completely stunned. First came shock, then fear, then anger, and finally helplessness. His eyes shifted rapidly, but the old man finally spoke first.

"My lord, it seems..."

"Yes! It really is him, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence!!"

"So, are the brothers still moving?"

He wasn't talking about moving grain, but about moving house. They'd only moved halfway through their new house when Liu Yufei delivered the grain right to their doorstep. How could that not scare him?

"Stop, brothers! Get the grain out of here first!!"

"Sir, I'm afraid the grain..."

"You really have to admit, scholars are often wicked," a sinister thought immediately came to mind. If Liu Yufei knew they suspected him of poisoning her, he'd be ready to unleash a torrent of abuse. "What do they take me for? Kel'Thuzad? Stratholme, huh? Do you think I need this to deal with you?"

"But right now, the most important thing isn't food, it's..."

Before the count could finish speaking, the old man's eyes widened again. Yes, there was a spy; otherwise, they wouldn't have received the information so accurately.

Isn't this nonsense? Liu Yufei's gone mad, playing double agents!! Laputa's satellites are orbiting in space right now, aren't they? The rebels think they're very secretive, but how could such a large-scale operation escape satellite detection?

"Who brought that person back?!"

"Ah! It's Dia! It can't be him."

The old man immediately ruled out the child as a suspect, not because he trusted him so much, but because the child was the count's godson. As for his biological son, in those chaotic times, all that could be said was tragedy.

"Where are the other two? Tell them to come see me!!"

The two were still having a good time. They immediately picked up a sack of grain and left, shoving it from one shoulder to the other, as if afraid of tearing their clothes. These clothes were ones he had taken from Liu Yufei.

But then the older brother was at a loss. Looking at the count in front of him, he knew the count's methods.

"Tell me, how did you meet him, and how did you bring him to the base?"

"Your Excellency... who... who is it?"

He genuinely didn't know, but the count, with great interest, patted the stain on his shoulder and said:

"Nice clothes?"

"My lord, I was wrong! I stole his clothes! I'll never do it again!!"

The Earl had repeatedly emphasized the strict military discipline within the resistance, forbidding them from engaging in robbery. They were a resistance fighter, fighting to save the country, not bandits, which was why this man was so afraid!

Actually, he had only recently joined, and he didn't expect that he couldn't even steal a piece of clothing. Soon, another person was brought in as well. Seeing his accomplice caught, this guy confessed everything. Seeing how cowardly the two older brothers looked, the old man knew that he had suspected the wrong person.

Then Xiao Dia came over to explain, and that's when we realized it was all a misunderstanding! He was bound to be punished, and Xiao Dia was punished too, since he had planned to beat Liu Yufei to death back then.

Of course, it's not really his fault. This little guy has no grudge against Dorumechia, but his parents were forced to their deaths by the Pejite court, so he doesn't have much hatred for invaders like Dorumechia.

This shows how benevolent and virtuous the royal family of Peijit is in the hearts of the Peijit people!
