Chapter 221: Louie's Choice
The Misty Forest rarely encounters a clear morning, after breakfast. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Rhodes and his party set off in full gear and returned to the base camp of Tart's "wild wolf". A few hours ago he had no intention of going back, but now everything has changed. Sitting on her horse, pulling on the reins, Louis in her arms, who had not yet recovered her strength, now sat sideways in front of her, her head resting on her chest. Rhodes never thought Louie would say something like that at breakfast, but after what happened last night, he thought Louie had really changed.
The scene in his memory appeared in front of him again and again, and Rhodes simply closed his eyes and relived the events of the morning in his mind. The first thing that came to his mind was Louis's slender and fair neck, and the beautiful curvature of his head when he bowed his head slightly. There was seven points of exhaustion in her eyes, but after hearing Rod's words, the seat of exhaustion was occupied by shock.
"You're saying Egrem is in danger?" she wasn't trying to repeat, she was just careful to understand what Rhodes meant.
In fact, what Rhodes said is not difficult to understand, but it is not easy to believe. However, at this time, Rod's face was sincere, which was completely different from the expression he had in the past, he looked at the pale face of his beloved woman with concern, and for a moment he regretted saying it before. Originally, I only wanted to help her, but I didn't expect that she was seriously injured, and in such a situation, it was the best policy to hide the truth and keep her away from the fight, but since the words have been spoken, there is no turning back. After some struggle, he decided to give it all up.
"Because I wanted to find clues to the 'Blood Rose', I infiltrated the Kingdom of Ecclement. By mistake, they discovered the military movements in the country, and they are quietly gathering forces, as if they are about to go to war!"
"Attack Egrim?" Louis blurted out, but immediately shook his head, "I'm not sure it's against my country!"
"Listen to me," added Rode, "I wasn't sure at the time, but I thought it was strange." When I returned to Tarte, I found that Tart was also secretly mobilizing his army, and his pace of action was perfectly matched with that of Eclermont. ”
Louis narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "Is it possible that there is a ...... between Eclermont and Tarte?"
"If this is the case, the border between the two countries has long been closed and heavily guarded. "But there has been no movement in the past two days, and not only that, but the trade between the two countries has become more frequent, and I feel that something is wrong, so I investigated and found that they were buying and selling armaments! Tart's soldiers are brave and good at fighting, and Egrim is rich and powerful, and they ......"
"That is......" Louis said with a solemn expression, "it is possible that they will join forces to attack Agrim?!"
Rhodes nodded, he stared into Louie's eyes: "As soon as I thought of this, I immediately set off for Agrim, the purpose of which is to inform you to prepare as soon as possible." Unexpectedly, I rescued you in the Misty Forest, what do you want to do now?
Louis frowned, his eyes staring straight ahead, but his eyes were empty. She didn't speak for a long time, and Rhodes began to regret telling Louis the secret, how could such a great responsibility be borne by a woman, and she was still so badly injured. Rod felt very sorry for Louie, and he wanted to persuade Louie to leave it alone, but he knew Louie's character, and he couldn't say it anyway.
However, after half a ring, Louis seemed to have woken up from the thousand-year-old ice, took a long breath, slowly turned to Rod, and said with affection: "Rod, what did you think about last night's incident?"
Rod never expected that Louis would suddenly turn the topic to this matter, and he was speechless for a while, and he was in a big mess. Although the answer is in his heart, he is always clumsy and cautious in the face of his beloved, for fear that saying the wrong sentence will make the other party unhappy. After thinking about it, I decided to test the other party's meaning first.
"What do you think, Louie?"
Louis's expression was extremely calm, very different from that of Rhodes, who was scratching his ears and cheeks, and she said lightly: "If Rhodes thinks that it is just a night of dew with me, then take the trouble to send me back to the Reino Palace......; Take me back to your home in Tart. The only one who can say these two words as calm as water is Louie.
Rod only felt ecstatic at this time, he liked Louie, even if he was a thief, she was the captain of the Praetorian Guard, although the relationship between soldiers and bandits was opposite, but if he was a temperamental, he could be friends, but the relationship between lovers was more complicated, Rod didn't mind, but he firmly believed that Louis would have a mustard. This kind of thinking is not unreasonable, judging by Louis's previous character, she would never walk with Luther, but she said something like that just now, which made Rod very surprised, or surprised.
"Of course I want to be with you, I mean...... If you're willing to go back with me, of course I can't ask for it!" Rod excitedly gave his own answer.
Louis slowly withdrew his eyes, and although he couldn't tell whether she was sad or happy, his cheeks showed a hint of rosiness. She lowered her head and said softly, "That...... Let's go. ”
In this way, Rhodes returned to Tart with Louis, and the group moved fast and soon out of the Misty Forest. Feeling the temperature in his chest, Rod couldn't help but spit out the last trace of doubt in his heart.
"You don't care about Egrim's business?"
Louis didn't answer, she leaned against Rod's chest and didn't move. Rod lowered his head and saw her eyelashes drooping, but as if she was asleep, he didn't alarm her again. But it didn't take long for the faint voice of the person in his arms to reach his ears.
"Didn't you go looking for clues to the 'Blood Rose'?
When Rod heard this, he lowered his head again. Louis still kept his eyes closed, but Rhodes knew she was awake, and remembered that she had just been, perhaps awake too.
"You want to hear it?" said Rhodes.
"Well, let's talk about it," Louie's eyes still didn't open, but his lips opened, "it's a long way to go, anyway. ”
"Well, I'll tell you a secret. After saying that, Rhodes paused for a moment, as if to organize his thoughts, and then he slowly spoke.
"After leaving Crescent Manor, I returned to Qingyu Shayuan, where the headquarters of the 'Wild Wolf' was located. I had some clues about the Bloodbrier, and it would have been easier to send someone to investigate, so I didn't have to wait long to get new leads. The Blood Rose has been sinking for many years, but there are still survivors of the disaster. ”
The man in his arms did not react, and Rhodes continued: "It is said that there was a sailor who escaped from that catastrophe and has been living in seclusion in the kingdom of Eclermont ever since, so I infiltrated in disguise to find his whereabouts. Things should have gone well, and the sailor was found in the desert of Eclermont, but he was silent about what had happened, not so much that he was deliberately concealing, but that he was afraid to face the mysteries in the depths of his memory, and I could understand his pain to some extent, and it would be difficult for a man who could poke his eyes blind to open the door in his heart!"
At this point, Rhodes paused, originally trying to gather his thoughts and continue. Suddenly feeling a change in the strength of her chest, when she looked down at Louie, she found that her head was hanging to the side, and this time she was afraid that she was really asleep, so she stopped saying a word, and gently pulled her clothes, slowing down the horse.
