April 3, 137 AH, on the eastern outskirts of the city of Byrons. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"I heard that this neighborhood used to be a cemetery." Yiyu, who was sitting under the big tree with Tar to enjoy the shade, casually started a topic, "Maybe we have corpses buried under our butts." ”

After the collapse of Teng Yan's family, Yi Yu no longer regarded herself as a princess, and her words and manners became extremely casual, even a little rude, and she no longer looked like a lady.

"Your Majesty told me about it." "This city used to be a stronghold of outlaws, and His Majesty and the princesses captured this stronghold and settled here. Thousands of people died at that time, and His Majesty had to bury the bodies on the spot. ”

"Hmm...... It's true......"

Yiyu's face became a little ugly, and her ass and legs became restless. Yiyu is afraid of the dead, and she is also afraid of corpses, so she really wants to get out of here. But she was the one who proposed to come for a walk in the eastern suburbs at noon today, and she was too embarrassed to offer to leave, and in order not to lose face in front of Tar, she had to pretend that she was not afraid at all.

Tal didn't notice Yiyu's abnormality and sighed to himself.

"Today, the recruits are inspecting, but Your Majesty did not bring me...... I know Your Majesty is thinking about me, but my heart is always empty......"

Tár's ignorance made Yiyu a little unhappy, and in order to vent her dissatisfaction, she said casually.

"Your Majesty is the King when you open and close your mouth, shouldn't you be a good 'bite'?"

"Huh?" What a mouthful'? Tal turned his head in confusion, "What's that mouthful?" ”

"That's it! This one! ”

Yi Yu stretched out the little thumb of her right hand, with a little disgust in her eyes.

"Seriously, the way you look at His Majesty the King is a little disgusting."

"Uh...... Disgusting? ”

Tal still didn't understand what Yiyu meant. He thought about what he had done to Myer, and felt that he had not done anything that would make people feel disgusting.

"yes, slimy, disgusting."

"Uh...... Slimy? ”

"You've never been interested in women, maybe it's just a good 'bite'."

Hearing this, Tal understood what Yiyu was talking about. To his surprise, this obviously malicious speculation did not make him angry, and made his cheeks burn.

"You...... You don't talk nonsense...... I...... I'm not that kind of person......"

"Huh?!"

Tal's shy performance stunned Yiyu, and the shock diluted the fear. In fact, she just said it casually, not really thinking that Tal was a good one.

"You...... You, you, you...... You ......"

Yiyu raised her hand and pointed at Tal, her shock overflowing. Yiyu's performance made Tal panic, and he kept shaking his head with a red face, but the voice of the argument was weak.

"I ...... I...... I'm really not...... I ......"

"You don't have to say any more!"

Yiyu straightened her arms and blocked Tár's mouth with her overlapping palms.

"You...... Whoever you like is your freedom! I...... I won't look down on you for such a thing! ”

Tal tried to continue arguing, but the voice leaked out was a vague question.

"Really?"

"Really!" Yiyu nodded firmly, "I'll keep this secret for you!" ”

Before Taal could make another sound, the neighing of Herod the horse caught their attention.

Barton, the chief of the Byron City Police Department, rode an earthy yellow horse to a clearing in the eastern suburbs. Every three or two days, Barton would come here to walk his horses and bathe his horses by the wells in the eastern suburbs. The horse was given to Pershing by Patton when he became chief of police in Byrons City.

In addition to this horse, Barton had two horses, one red and one pure black. The dark horse was raised by Barton when he was in Sackin City, and he is now old. It has been with Barton for many years, and Barton has a deep affection for it, and is ready to give it a pension and let it live its last days comfortably. The jujube red horse was bought by him in Hope City, and this horse is also a little old.

At that time, Barton did not have enough pockets to buy good horses. At that time, the economic situation of Hope City was still very severe, and it was impossible to allocate horses to the officials, and war horses belonged to important strategic resources.

Nami lay priests numbered each horse and wore a wooden number plate for the horse. All the number plates are registered, and the physical characteristics of the horse are recorded so that no one can trade the inferior horse for the superior horse. If a horse is injured or killed in the course of service, the body must be transported back for inspection by the relevant departments to confirm that the horse's record can be erased.

The transfer of war horses must be approved by the General Administration of Development and Planning, and the illegal use of war horses is a felony, with fines and imprisonment in light cases and direct beheadings in severe cases. The only person who can move his horse at will is Maier, who occasionally calls in his horse for the Guard, but neither he nor the Guards have special mounts. In addition, war horses are basically only transferred to the army, but only cavalry and senior officers have the right to allocate war horses, and even the boot camp can only borrow war horses.

As an official of the security department, Patton naturally has no right to configure war horses, so he can only buy his own mounts. Barton loved horses and kept them, and horses were an indispensable part of his life. No matter how busy he is, he will take care of his horses.

Barton loves horses, but horses aren't all he has. In his spare time, Barton enjoyed playing chess, cards, poetry, piano, and sports. Celibate, he is hardly idle for a second except sleeping.

When Tal saw Barton, he wanted to go over to say hello, but was dragged by Yiyu.

"What are you doing?"

Tal turned his head and saw that Yi Yu's face was flushed, and she was looking at him with a bitter and hateful expression.

"I ...... You...... You sit down first! ”

"Why?" Tal looked puzzled, "Didn't you see Lord Barton over there?" I'm going to have to say hi to him. ”

"I ...... I know Mistress Barton is over there......"

"Oh, he saw us."

Tal waved his hand at Barton, who was sitting on the horse and waving to the two of them with a smile, and made a gesture to go that way, but this time Yiyu directly hugged his waist, and his body fell down desperately.

"No...... No way!!!! ”

The momentum of Yiyu's voice is amazing, but the voice is pitiful.

"Uh......"

With Tal's physique, he can easily drag Yiyu forward. But he felt that it was too embarrassing to do so, so he could only ask her patiently.

"Are you alright?"

There was a friction sensation on his back, and Tal knew that Yiyu was shaking her head, and sighed helplessly.

"Just let it go, I'm going to Lord Barton."

"No!!"

"Huh? Why? ”

"Hmm...... In a word...... In short, no! ”

Barton saw Tal from a distance being embraced by a woman dressed as a Tyr, grinned, and rode towards Thal.

"Lord Tár, I'm idle today!"

Barton's voice made Yiyu's body stiffen instantly, and Tal could clearly feel the sound of the girl's heart beating wildly.

"Uh...... You alright. Tal smiled awkwardly, "Is Lord Barton here to walk the horses?" ”

"Exactly." Barton smiled heartily, "I'm just here to say hello to you, so I won't bother you!" ”

With that, Barton turned his horse's head and went in the opposite direction from the two. After the sound of the horse's hooves faded away, Yiyu's body slowly softened and slid off Tal like a puddle of mud.

"I mean, you don't like Lord Barton, do you?"

Tár's words made Yiyu's body tremble visibly, and she avoided Tár's gaze with a weak heart, her actions made Tár confirm his judgment and made him sigh again.

"Since you already have someone you like, why do you want to go out on a blind date?"

Yiyu turned around depressedly and lay down, burying her face between her arms.

“…… What's the use of liking...... Lord Barton doesn't like people's ......."

At the mention of Lord Barton, Yi Yu turned back into everyone's girlfriends, and her tone became docile.

“…… I won't be jealous when I see people with other men...... People don't have a chance to ......."

Mistress Barton didn't even see you......

Tal grinned awkwardly, wondering whether to say it or not.

The fact that Patton is a celibate is not a secret in the official circles of the Kingdom of Byrons, but Yiyu does not know about it.

Yiyu first met Barton in the eastern suburbs of Byron City. Yiyu accompanied her sister Yijuan to cool off under this big tree, and Barton came here to walk the horse as usual. He did not notice the two sisters, who were enjoying the shade under the big tree, and rode their horses around the clearing a few times, and then bathed them by a well. Yijuan fell asleep, and Yiyu had nothing to do, so she watched Barton bathe the horse under the tree, and she was fascinated by it.

She began to be curious about this man, so she investigated his identity a little, and learned that he was the chief of the Byron City Police Department. Patton was very active in Byrons, and he actively participated in all public activities, singing and dancing, playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and wrestling with his wrists, as if there was nothing he could not do.

At first, Yiyu just admired him, and it wasn't until a month ago that Yiyu happened to dance with Barton at a public party, and the girl fell in love.

Everything came very suddenly, and Yiyu didn't have any preparation. There was a big age difference between Barton and her, and her reason told her that she and Barton were not suitable, so she kept resisting the feelings in her heart. It wasn't until she came to go on a blind date with Tár and understood her true thoughts in the argument with Tár that she dared to face this feeling.

Today she took the initiative to find Tal out, just to tell him about this matter and to get his help. It's a pity that the conversation between the two went off topic at the beginning, and Yiyu didn't have a chance to say it. Barton's appearance made Yi Yu panic, and she did something stupid in a hurry, and Yi Yu has been very disappointed since then. In order to cheer her up, Tal can only say that he is willing to help Yiyu pursue Barton.
