Chapter 49: Forces

"Hey!" Hao shouted, raising the badge in his hand and saying to the two demon seekers, "I am from the crown guard family, and I am ordered to assist in the search for the demon dyer!"

"Bang!" At this moment, the door was finally knocked down, and the two demon seekers turned their heads suspiciously when they heard Hao's shout.

"Leave it to me to deal with it here!" After all, he has been a general of the Eastern Army, and no matter how bad he is, he is also a deputy commander, Hao's aura is enough to overwhelm the two demon seekers, seeing that the two are still hesitating, Hao turned his face cold, and ordered in an undoubted tone, "Soldier, go over there immediately! There is still a street gate waiting for you over there!!"

"Yes, sir!" the two demon seekers hurriedly saluted and ran to the next street with a log on their shoulders......

"Well, you've got a good one!" Lux complimented with a thumbs up.

The two of them walked into the room as they spoke, and the whole room was very dim, and even so, because the house was small and empty, the two of them saw at a glance that there were two little girls hiding under the table, one of them was Alice, they were hugging each other, and they were trembling with fear.

"Ahem......" Hao was about to speak, when another older girl's hand actually lit up with a red light, which looked like a flame was burning.

"I'm coming!" Lux hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a demon seeker. ”

“......”

"Shall I tell you a secret?" said Lux as she crouched down, then spread her right hand flat, and a soft ball of light suddenly appeared in her palm, and she continued, "The secret is that I, like you, am also a man of magic!"

"Sister...... Sister!" The older girl finally let down her guard, but when she looked at Hao, her eyes were still filled with fear and distrust.

"Hey, you don't know me, Alice knows me!" Hao said to Alice who was hiding behind, "Alice, it's me, do you remember your uncle's voice?"

Alice was silent for a while, then suddenly remembered, and immediately ran over to Hao happily, and asked with concern as she ran, "Remember, uncle, is your cough better?"

Now that the identities have been confirmed, the conversation between the four of them is no longer hidden, the older girl is called Emer, and her mother and Alice's mother are actually both demon dyers, and they have always supported each other.

The day before yesterday, when Silas was in turmoil, Imer's mother had a premonition that this matter would not end so easily, so she took the sick Alice's mother and two children to hide in a hidden place in the city, but Alice's mother left too hurriedly and the medicine was lost here, and then the two little heroes came back to get the medicine, but they were blocked at home.

"The current Xiongdu is too dangerous for you, I plan to send you all to Tobizia, are you willing to go?" Hao asked the two little girls in a deep voice.

"Tobizia, is there anything to eat there?" asked Imer.

"yes, are there bad people bullying us there?" asked Alice.

"Hahaha, it's the territory of labor and management, no one dares to bully you there! As for food, four meals a day, meat at every meal, and fruit after meals!" Hao patted his chest and promised!

By now, Taylor must have gone to their family's estate outside the city, ready to leave for home, and it was best to be safe and comfortable with their convoy.

It's just that after the turmoil, the gates of the city in and out of Xiongdu have been blocked to the death, and it is impossible to break in? That is impossible! Continue to bluff with the badge of Lux's crown guard? The risk is too great! Four demon dyers, two adults and two children, can't hide in the carriage......

The two children have taken him and Lux to a dilapidated house that looks like it's been uninhabited for a long time, and according to Emmel, it's her late grandfather's house, and she and Alice's mother are hiding in the cellar under the courtyard.

"Squeak!" Lux opened the wooden door to the cellar, and she and Hao were greeted by two wands with magical glow at the top.

"Don't move!" a woman shouted, looking at Lux and Hao, who were clearly dressed for their identities.

"Mom...... They're our friends!" exclaimed Imer, dissatisfied.

"Well, what's the matter with you two children, why did you bring the nobles here?" complained another woman, who looked frail and must have been Alice's mother.

"Wow!" Lux didn't explain much, but stretched out his left hand again, condensed magical energy in the palm of his hand, and released a white ball of light, which was enough to show that he and the other party were friends and not enemies.

"Okay, time is running out, my bastard friend won't be waiting for us outside the city all the time!" Hao thought of this all the way, and didn't come up with a good way to get out of the city, looking at the posture in this room, the relationship is four adults and two children, this goal has become bigger......

"Go, get out of the city, leave Xiongdu, go to this general and live a normal life. Lux said that she was about to take the lead?

"No, Lux!" Haoyi hurriedly grabbed Lux's arm, "I said that as long as you go out of the city, everything will be easy, but ...... But I haven't figured out a good way to get out of Xiongdu?"

"Hehe, I have a good way, who told you not to ask me?" Lux blinked her big beautiful eyes and explained, "I've seen the engineering drawings of the entire Xiongdu, and according to what I know about the Xiongdu, I will definitely be able to get out of the city walls in one direction along the sewers!"

So the two agreed, and Lux led the six people out of the city through the sewers, and Hao came out of the city gate in a bright way, after all, it was not a joke to take six demon dyers on the road, and there was still an old duke on Taylor's side? Hao had to explain and ask for it in person!

All kinds of rumors about Grand Duke Toby, both Hulda and Taylor have told Hao a lot, but Hao only found out today that it was the first time that he and Grand Duke Toby met!

"Hello to the duke!" Hao gave a military salute to the old duke, which had become his habit, in his words, the aristocratic ceremony was really like a girl dancing, it was too disgusting, and labor and management really couldn't do it!

"Oh, Taylor often mentions you in front of me, that you are his best and best friend, and that you should have come back to the manor with Taylor!" Archduke Toby acted like a standard old man, with cloudy eyes, a slow pace of speech, and a blanket that never left him......

"It's the juniors who are slacking!" Hao was very humble.

"Don't be so restrained, that kid from Taylor would never be so polite to an old man. Seeing that you are in a hurry, let's say, do you have anything to help the old man?" The old duke's decades of life in the sea of eunuchs, this ability to observe words and emotions is naturally not a problem.

"Uh...... There is indeed a troublesome matter...... "In this case, Hao simply got straight to the point and told Alice about it."

"Hehe, Taylor, what do you say?" Unexpectedly, after listening to Hao tell the truth of the matter, the old duke didn't show any attitude himself, and turned to his second son.

"What do you say?Hao's business is my business, since he opened his mouth, of course he wants to help, besides, it's not a big deal, it's just a matter of taking a few people on the road......" Taylor said more and more quietly, because he found that his old father's eyes became sharper and sharper, and he used to look like this every time his old man was mad.

"It's nothing, you can bring it if you want!" the old duke stared at Taylor for a moment, but suddenly said, "You go out first, I have something to say to your friend alone." ”

"Oh, that kid is gone......" Taylor immediately turned around and left, and when he turned around, he squeezed his eyes at Hao, which clearly said, how is it?

"I heard...... You've been pretty close to that chick from the Crown's house lately?" and as Taylor left the room and closed the door, the old duke said something out of the blue.

"Uh......" Hao was speechless about this question.

"The third world is also full of praise for your hot pot?" the old duke continued to say inexplicably.

"......" Hao was a little confused, so he had to keep silent.

"Very good, very good, hahaha......" The old duke laughed even more unscrupulously, at this time how could there be half a bit of cloudiness in his eyes? I saw him stand up while laughing, and circled around Hao, this action really made Hao wonder, am I so funny?

"If those actions between you and Taylor were just children's jokes in the past, then now you should also grow up, and since you have grown up, you should explain some things clearly!" The old duke finished laughing, returned to his seat and sat down, and said quickly, "You should know how many major forces there are in Xiongdu and even the entire kingdom, right?"

"......" Hao continued to keep silent. Be silent.

"The light shield family, this royal orthodoxy, is naturally a force. ”

"The Mian Wei family, who has worked hard all these years and has been around the source, has taken advantage of it in the turmoil this time, and has grown into a force. ”

"Then if the other major nobles join forces, in the old man's opinion, the power is even above those two families, and ...... And the current situation has forced everyone to join forces. ”

"Finally, and the weakest, count the Charmers like Silas as as well. ”

"Also, those gods in the temple, the grass on the wall, can't be counted!"

"Look, the four major forces of the kingdom, you kid have all had connections and dealings, so the old man said that you are very good!" Speaking of this, the old duke looked grim and asked slowly, "Are you willing to be a wall grass like the temple......?" Do you choose a side?"

"I ...... I have no intention of getting involved in any power struggle!" Hao replied very dryly.

"Oh, but you've been branded as an aristocratic faction since you left Tobizia City!" the old duke squinted his eyes at Hao's face, "I forgot to tell you, our Toby family is the leader of the aristocratic faction!"

"Buzz...... Hao only felt that his head was suddenly hit by something, which ...... This is not right, it doesn't mean that the old duke is old and doesn't care about political affairs, and then he doesn't have any private army in his own house, why is he suddenly so firm in his political position? Why is he so firm?
