Chapter 54: The Plan of a Normal Man
"Old butler, shut these three guys up, don't let them escape. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Two days later, in Olly City, Lin Qiu, who had returned to the city lord's fort, handed over the three robbers to the old butler to take care of.
"Understood, my lord. The old butler agreed, and without asking too much, he took the three robbers down according to what Lin Qiu said.
Welcoming Lin Qiu's return with the old housekeeper, there was also Xue Liya, but what made him a little puzzled was that Xue Liya was still wearing the black and white maid costume at this time.
And she was wearing an apron with a little dust, and it was obvious that she was still doing cleaning and sanitation before that.
"My lord, are you alright?" Taking two steps forward, Shirlia looked at Lin Qiu with some concern, and at the same time she stretched out her hand, wanting to help the latter take off the cloak on her body.
But as soon as she got closer, she noticed that she was still wearing a dirty apron, and after noticing this, Shirlia subconsciously took two steps back, and her little face was slightly embarrassed.
"It's okay, these little thieves are no big deal. Lin Qiu took off his cloak and looked at Shirya, who was dressed as a maid, and couldn't help but wonder: "Little guy, didn't you say you don't have to do these chores?"
Taking the cloak from Lin Qiu's hand, Xue Liya replied in a low voice, "Because there is nothing to deal with, if you don't do something, you always feel very uneasy." β
Lin Qiu showed a look of helplessness on his face, he knew that there would be this kind of reaction, it was very likely because of Xueliya's previous experience, maybe in her previous life, as long as she didn't do something, there would be some punishment, or she couldn't even eat.
Shirya, who is used to living like that, will naturally have an instinctive panic once she is idle.
"Forget it, whatever you want. Lin Qiu shook his head and sighed, then suddenly thought of something, and continued: "By the way, little guy, I don't know your name yet. β
Since he met Shirya, Lin Qiu has been busy almost all the time, so so far, he hasn't even asked people's names, and now that he just remembers, he naturally has to ask, after all, he can't always call someone else's little guy, right?
"Ah......" Lin Qiu's words made Xue Liya snort, and she only remembered it at this time, the lord didn't know her name yet.
"My name, my name is Shirleya...... "Shirleya said softly.
Lin Qiu patted her head when she heard this and said with a smile: "Shirya, right, it's a good name, I've been unexpectedly busy since I saw you, and I haven't had the opportunity to ask your name until now, I'm really sorry." β
Shirlia hurriedly shook her little hand, she saw the busyness of the lord, and she was already very happy to be remembered for such a trivial matter as asking her name.
Seeing Lin Qiu apologizing to herself, Shirlia suddenly wanted to explain something to her lord, but she was not good at talking, but she suddenly didn't know what to say, and she was anxious and her little face suddenly turned red.
Because of Shirya's help, he got quite a good harvest, and at this time, he was in a pretty good mood in the face of this little maid.
Seeing that Xue Liya looked like she wanted to speak but didn't know what to say, Lin Qiu suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, don't say it if you don't know what to say, I didn't force you to explain anything for me." β
With that, Lin Qiu walked to the sofa and sat down, and after straightening his face, he asked, "Xueliya, I haven't had any situation in the past few days, right?"
Shirley walked behind Lin Qiu and said while pressing on his shoulder, "Nothing too big happened, but the operation on the side of the Thieves' Guild seems to be going well, Edri's army seems to have set off, and the residents of the territory are a little flustered. β
Lin Qiu waved his hand and said, "It's normal to be flustered, do you know how many people are dispatched from Edri's side?"
Shirlia replied, "There are more than 7,000 people, and it seems that only about 500 people are left to defend the city, and even his own private army is in the ranks this time, and it seems that he is determined to destroy the lord." β
Not...... As expected, it seems that the plan is still quite smooth, and the money of the Thieves' Guild is really not in vain.
Lin Qiu secretly thought in his heart, and then he noticed that when he talked about the attack of Edri's army, Shirya's expression did not change much, and Lin Qiu, who noticed this, suddenly became a little interested.
Leaning his head back on the sofa, Lin Qiu looked directly at Xue Liya and asked, "Xue Liya, you don't seem to be too scared, did you guess what I want to do?"
Suddenly stared at by Lin Qiu, Shirlia was a little shy, and after hearing his question, the latter thought for a while and said, "Well, I don't know what the lord wants to do, but I think, is it related to the cave people and goblins?"
Lin Qiu was slightly surprised in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change and said, "Tell me, what do you think?"
"Hmm......" Shirley tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "Because I heard, didn't the lord bring back a batch of supplies before?" At the beginning, I was always thinking about how the lord came to this batch of materials, but in the past two days, the lord went alone to find trouble with the robbers, and also captured three guys, so I have a relatively bold conjecture. β
Shirley paused before continuing, "Maybe...... The Lord is actually a person with very strong strength, so strong that he can even defeat a tribe with thousands of first-order combat power......
I am also quite clear about the habits of the goblins, if the lord really has that kind of strength, the source of that batch of materials will naturally make sense, and along this road, if the cave people are also defeated by the lord, or subdued, then the lord will definitely take advantage of the cave people to carry out some activities underground, such as setting a huge trap for the other party on the road. β
After finishing speaking, Xue Liya looked at Lin Qiu with a wince, and said in a low voice, "My lord, I think so......"
"Haha, very good, very good. Lin Qiu suddenly laughed, he didn't expect that the little girl in front of him would be able to guess his plan six or seven points with such a little clue.
At this time, Lin Qiu found that he liked this smart little girl more and more, and he believed that when he went to other worlds to gain experience and upgrade in the future, this girl would definitely be able to do a good job of the work she had assigned.
The happy mood made Lin Qiu, who was sitting on the sofa, stretch out his hands, pinched the soft flesh of Xueliya's little face, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, I've already guessed it, from a normal person's point of view, it's basically a complete plan." β
That's right, if Lin Qiu was thinking from the perspective of a normal person, his plan might be exactly the same as what Xue Liya said, but ......
He, Lin Qiu, is not a normal person.
