My Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The urgent knocking at the door was especially jarring in the silent deep night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Edmund turned over in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tightly shut his eyes, attempting to ignore the annoying noise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, please wake up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The knocking became even more urgent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid sleeping beside him got up, looking at the lord lying on the bed, hesitating whether to wake him up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the voice outside sounded again,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Kelly, Molly, quickly wake up the Lord, there’s something important!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two maids, hearing it was the Captain of the Guard, Caluze, hesitated a moment, but finally reached out and shook Edmund.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord, it seems there’s something important...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund sighed, frowned, and slowly opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund struggled to sit up, and the maid quickly stepped forward to help.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The effect of the alcohol had not completely worn off, and Edmund felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding his forehead, Edmund yawned,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go open the door.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The maid Kelly responded, wrapped her clothes tightly, and ran barefoot to the door to open it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m truly sorry, my lord, for interrupting your rest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caluze bowed and reported urgently: \"But Baron Rod’s personal guard caught a spy in the kitchen, and it’s specifically targeting Baron Rod!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A spy?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund’s drunkenness instantly sobered up halfway, and he jumped out of bed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, quickly dress me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Edmund, draped in a heavy robe, walked into the conference hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baron Rod sat in a chair, expressionlessly eating dessert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Rod’s eyes clearly carried a ferocious gleam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian stood beside him, holding a piece of cloth filled with writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Rod, on the floor, two spies were bound, their mouths stuffed with cloth, faces full of terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baron Rod...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund spoke cautiously, \"I’m really sorry, I had no idea...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s understandable, I didn’t expect it either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod raised a hand to point at Vivian, \"Vivian discovered the spy, let’s hear her first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian stepped forward,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Edmund, I’m truly sorry to disturb your rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just wanted to get some fresh air, but ended up getting lost in the hallway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian was a bit helpless,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I walked near the kitchen and then heard unusual noises inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Originally, I thought it was just young lovers unable to suppress their emotions, but later found these two were spies gathering information.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian raised the cloth in her hand, \"More importantly, they were recording information about our lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund took the cloth, unfolded it, and his face turned ever paler upon seeing the scribbled writing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It detailed all of the evening’s banquet, including the Desert alliance and an assessment of Rod’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baron Edmund, to be candid, I’d be pleased to be friends with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod earnestly looked at Edmund, \"But I must remind you that we must act cautiously, otherwise it’s easy to become envied or even harmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Furthermore, please excuse me, but before you got up, I ordered your Captain of the Guard to lock down the entire manor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, no problem, you did the right thing!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concerning his Captain of the Guard being overruled, Edmund had no objections, instead showing full remorse,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was my oversight and carelessness that let these spies infiltrate the manor to gather your information!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest assured, Baron Rod, I will surely give you an explanation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund turned to look at Caluze, \"Quickly investigate how these two came in, who they are related to, arrest and interrogate them all!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caluze responded quickly, about to rush out of the conference hall, but was stopped by Rod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need, just interrogate these two well and we’ll know everything.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right, interrogation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund nodded repeatedly,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since you caught them, why not let you interrogate them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Edmund’s voice was as small as a mosquito,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I’m not good at such things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod didn’t stand on ceremony, leaning down to look at the man on the ground,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Many lords could send a spy, but few have any interest in me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod asked gently, \"Are you sent by the Hawk Clan or the Cold Blade Clan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mmm mmm mm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man whimpered in response, and Rod reached out to pull the cloth from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, my lord, I didn’t mean to offend you, I’m just trying to earn some money for my mother’s medical treatment!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wept as he begged loudly, \"I wasn’t sent by anyone, I’m just selling some news, please spare my life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod frowned at the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was even slicker than imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod wasn’t angry, nor did he resort to violence, his expression remaining calm, his gaze sweeping over both spies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t like nonsense, only one of you will survive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoever speaks first lives.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod didn’t give the two any time to hesitate and instructed Vivian, \"Drag the woman out and interrogate her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, my lord.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vivian nodded, grabbed the woman’s collar, pulled her up, and without turning back, dragged her out and shut the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man left behind was clearly flustered and immediately begged, \"Noble lord, I’m not deceiving you, I’m telling the truth!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry, whether it’s true or false, we’ll soon find out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod didn’t say much, then picked up a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, chewing carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rod no longer looked at the man, but turned to Edmund,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Baron Edmund, you could add some meat or something to the dessert, these honey cakes are too sweet and greasy for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",926,"2026-05-30T15:19:53.916Z","2026-06-01T04:31:34.172Z",1,"novelbin.me","481b87bdceb8d04af0a819b6d4653624b27f821babe052db995b264ca40afda5","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-505","farming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-chapter-503",776,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffarming-with-entries-from-lord-to-emperor-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
