In the tent temporarily set up in the square to pile up supplies, Ling Qi looked at the three young boys and girls kneeling in front of him lightly, he felt their cramped uneasiness, and at the same time sensed the anger and bitter anger hidden under the uneasiness!

Is that the hatred of the father being killed and the family being stigmatized again?

No, maybe it's more than that, it's more like Ling Qi after taking office!

The more popular he became, the more uncomfortable those who secretly coveted his place, and the more ostracized those who refused to accept him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 In this way, even if he does something unintentionally, it will naturally become an excuse for some people to suppress others.

For example, among the many buildings he advocated for demolition, there was a statue that was the statue of the Lord of Long Lake City, the first marksman of Long Lake City, and Ji Ruian!

Giryan is a controversial hero, a deservedly good lord and at the same time a culprit in the fall of Long Lake City.

The statue of Giryan has always stood in the town of Long Lake, and as one of the best-preserved buildings in the ruins of Long Lake, no one has proposed to tear it down, even if they are afraid of the family's descendants. Because it's not just a statue of Giryan alone, it's a sign of Long Lake's glorious past, and the only testament to the town's grandeur.

It wasn't until the wealthy Ling Qi came to power that it completely collapsed and became a pile of stone raw materials under the city walls. At the same time, of course, there was also the memory of this hero by the people of Changhu Town.

This was not the most important of the many projects in Changhu Town, and Ling Qi did not ask again until it was replaced by a simple wooden bell tower in its place after issuing that order.

He had even forgotten to give the order, which the townspeople saw as a sign of some kind of purge, making life even more difficult for several children who had lost their fathers.

It is true that in order to completely erase the merits of a hero, it is useless to discredit him, it is necessary to make people completely forget about him. Ling Qi understood this truth, but when he gave that order at that time, he really didn't think about it so much, just to see how many tons of stone it was worth, at least it could build an extra section of the city wall, and that's it.

The two or three kittens that Bud left behind are also worth his tricks? He doesn't care about the excuse of bullying the small, he prefers to bully the weak, but he doesn't specifically stare at those juniors.

Bard has a bit of a skill and a good reputation. But even he himself, in Ling Qi's opinion, was just an archer with some ability, a little accident outside the plan, nothing more.

He has never been wary of the hatred of some people, and now, he only finds it a little interesting.

"You three... Bane, Sigrid, and this little guy are called Till. ”

Ling Qi smiled slightly, and the three young boys and girls immediately changed when they heard this, and the alarm bell sounded in their hearts.

Among them, a little girl of seven or eight years old named Till, turned her head with a pout, and the tension and vigilance in her heart were the least.

Sigrid, the girl who was almost offered to Ling Qi as a gift for her career as a gift for her career, was lowering her head, showing a slight shyness, as if she didn't dare to look at Ling Qi's handsome face. If you can't feel her firmness, anyone will think that this is an ordinary girl.

She is still very young, but she has just grown up, and she already has a bit of a moving appearance, she is indeed a beautiful embryo, no wonder she will be used as a gift by Elfried.

Ling Qi's gaze didn't stay on the girl for long, and the most surprising thing to him was Bane. He was Bard's eldest son, but he was actually a year younger than Sigrid, just a big boy.

The big boy was the only one who dared to look directly at Ling Qi at this time, his face full of respect and the desire for honor peculiar to a young man. It's a pity that his performance is too immature, his mind is already cautious at his age, but in front of Ling Qi, it is completely like unconcealed, the flame of hatred in his heart makes his soul turn a scorching red, and in the window of his soul, there is a storm brewing, as if it will rush out at any time and tear the man in front of him apart!

Ling Qi had seen him from afar a few days ago, and he wasn't like this at that time, there was cowardice and fear. Adversity really sharpens people's hearts the most.

"Dear lord, you remember well, these two are my sisters, Sigrid and Tyr. And I, your most loyal servant, Bane. ”

The eldest boy Bane pretended to be humble and said, Ling Qi smiled slightly, he saw Elfried's shadow in him, but he was too young.

Ling Qi would not take humble anger and hatred to heart, but he would definitely not despise anyone who hated him. He would always remember the admonition that a sharp dagger in the hands of a child could stab a battle-hardened knight to death.

"Well, Bane, you're nice, I remember your father..."

Ling Qi's words were earnest, and the hearts of the three people below were tense again. The little girl was sad, the big girl hung her head lower, her shoulders trembled slightly, and even Bane's little hand on her knee was grabbed fiercely.

"Your father was a mighty warrior. ”

Ling Qi looked up and said, as if reminiscing. He didn't use any of his natural powers, because that ability wasn't strong enough to shake his already firm mind.

"To be sure, I didn't intend to have your father killed, after all, I just wanted to overthrow Bowers, and he wasn't in league with that greedy fellow. Moreover, I admire him as a person. ”

Ling Qiyan said insincerely, which made the three teenagers' thoughts confused.

Bane learned from his sister to lower her head, and the complicated color on her face quickly disappeared, and finally turned into a sneer.

"Of course, your father has died in that chaos, and I won't defend myself. There are always things in this world that shouldn't happen, but once they have happened, they can't be reversed. ”

Ling Qi said calmly, and there was an inexplicable sadness in the air, it was not the force of nature.

The little girl remembered her father's voice and smile, her nose wrinkled slightly, and her eyes flashed with crystal. The big girl's head hung lower, almost touching the ground, as if something was weighing on her shoulders.

Bane forced himself to calm down, looked up with anger and hatred, and said in a hoarse voice:

"Your Excellency, you don't need to say any more, we can all understand. ”

"No, I don't understand, why did you let that demon kill our father!

As soon as Bane finished speaking, her youngest sister suddenly stood up and screamed out of shape.

"Till, what are you doing! Don't be rude to adults! Have you forgotten what I said to you!"

Bane panicked, the panic in his heart at this moment actually overpowered the anger.

It seems that there is still something in this world that will be more important to him than revenge.

Sigrid, a girl who has always been very quiet, also began to panic at this time, quickly stood up and hugged her sister, and knelt down and begged Ling Qi for mercy again and again:

"My lord, I'm sorry, my lord! I'm sorry, I didn't take a good look at her. Please forgive my sister for being rude to you! She is still young, she is not sensible yet! She is unintentional, we have absolutely no intention of blaming you!"

I feel sorry for the beautiful woman crying, and the same is true for the little beauty.

The hard-hearted Ling Qi was unmoved, he just shook his head, signaled the soldiers who heard the movement outside the tent and rushed in to withdraw, and then said to the three teenagers:

"I'm not going to get mad at a little girl. ”

Waving his hand to stop Bane and Sigrid from expressing insincere gratitude, he looked at Thiel again, shook his head and sighed:

"Probably no one has ever told you the truth, maybe some people think it's unnecessary, maybe some people want your father and the figure to stay in your mind will always be so tall, and of course there may be people who harbor evil intentions!"

"The reason why he was killed was completely an accident, not a prior order from anyone. ”

"I don't know if you know that before he was killed, he was in conflict with Elfried and his minions who used my name to protect your sisters. ”

"You should all know that I was not a lord then, so how could Elfried listen to my orders? I don't understand why your father can't even understand such a simple truth!"

"I always thought he was a fair and upright man, and I still do. But at that time, it was indeed he who attacked my subordinates indiscriminately. ”

"Whether he mistook my men for Elfried's minions, or whether he believed Elfried's provocative words, or whether he was instigated by someone else, the truth has been buried in the dust of yesterday. ”

"I always felt that your father should not have attacked my people in the circumstances. No matter how many reasons he has, he should confront me face to face, that's what a hero does. ”

"Sneak attack, shameless sneak attack, is it really something that Mr. Bud, whom I have always admired, would do?

Ling Qi's words were extremely serious, almost subverting Bard's image in the minds of several children, and he was completely an unreasonable madman.

Of course, the situation was very confusing, and only he knew why Bard was attacking Farien, whether he was motivated by his hostility, whether he believed Elfried's confession of "guilt", or for some other purpose.

In short, even if Bard is not a sinister and despicable villain, he is definitely not as glorious and tall as his own children think. People have selfish intentions, and so do saints, let alone Bard. He just did what he thought he should do and was right, so what's wrong?

"It can't be!"

The girl Sigrid exclaimed, then covered her mouth.

There were two other people who were stunned at the same time, but except for the hatred in the little girl's heart that was slightly diluted by shock, Bane obviously didn't believe it, or didn't care about these so-called truths at all!

"Think about why many of those who once respected him are now alienating you. Is it true that they are all subservient to my authority, as you think, and that your father is a good, persecuted man?"

"You can't help but think of people's hearts too ugly!"

"Even if your father is a really good man, he has his own reasons for doing it. On the battlefield, swords and swords, you live and die, is there really a right or wrong?"

Ling Qi's tone was sincere, trying to change his image in the minds of several teenagers, but as he had expected for a long time, it had little effect. He had used his innate abilities again, and still only the youngest girl had listened a little bit.

Once again, it turns out that his talent can only be used to enhance the demagogic effect, and can never be used as a main force to change an already clear mood. And the same hatred, in the hearts of different people, will also be buried in different depths. That's a very simple truth, but without practice, no one can be sure how far the seeds of thoughts buried under a person's surface have been planted.

Ling Qi observed the expressions of the three of them, some of the changes in mood were interesting, and it would be an intangible wealth for him.
