"The Dark Guards have all withdrawn?"

Dick nodded and replied, "All withdrawn......"

"That's what I want to ask next......" Ithis looked at Dick, "The Dark Guard has been sent to every town to wait for our news, so didn't the Dark Guard detect anything unusual in the border town?" ”

Dick shook his head, "There are only a limited number of Dark Guards, and they can't be stationed in all towns. The towns we lock down www.biquge.info are all larger cities on the main roads. There was a secret guard who I sent to Usain Bolt...... He sent back the news of your situation over there, and told him that he would find a way to fend off the Assassins, but until now, he has not returned......"

"......" Lindsay gritted her teeth fiercely in her heart: "Dick, find a way to get him back!" I want to see people in life, I want to see corpses in death, I will never let my subordinates die in a foreign land!! ”

Dick answered, hoping that his companion would be safe...... But as a secret guard, dedicating their lives to their masters at any time is an awareness that each of them has. Moreover, for the sake of the eldest princess of Luolan, they were willing.

"Dick, how many Secret Guards are there with you?" Edith asked casually as he poured a full bottle of wine for the three of them.

"Two, I've already sent them to find out about this town."

Edith gave Dick a thumbs up: "Her Royal Highness the Princess's secret guard is really efficient and thoughtful...... It's so worry-free to have them~"

"It's all due to Dick, I just remember the first time I met the Dark Guards. A selection of chiefs was held, and several exams were designed, and Dick stood out. Since then, I have entrusted the Dark Guard to him, and I have never interfered in the management of it. ”

Lindsey looked at Dick and recalled the scene at that time, Dick, although he looked immature, but very capable and intelligent, mature and calm in heart, with enough judgment and strategy. Since when has Dick been able to maintain his composure as soon as he encounters Lindsay's affairs......

That night, the two secret guards who had been sent out to gather information returned to the hotel where Lindsay and his party were staying.

"I've seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the duke, and the chief!"

The black-clothed dark guard knelt in front of the three of them and said respectfully.

"Get up, you've worked hard all the way to find out information!" Lindsey unleashed a stream of air and lifted the bodies of the two Dark Guards.

"Your Royal Highness Princess Xie! These are all things that subordinates should do, and they don't work hard......"

Dick looked at the two of them with a serious expression, and slowly asked, "How is the situation of the listening?" ”

"Looking back, there is a problem with the city lord of this Saino City, and the identity background of this person is almost blank, I know that this person suddenly appeared more than thirty years ago, staying with the original city lord, and within two years, the city lord died, and the current city lord has done this position so far. In addition, the financial situation here is abnormal, heavy rain a few years ago, and the border Hechuan burst the embankment, which has not been completely repaired until now. In addition, there is no mention of the construction of mountain roads, construction, and bridges. ”

“…… How could it be ......?" thought Lindsey strangely, as if something was wrong. Edith sighed: "I remember, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would often talk to me about which towns were applying for grants or where they needed relief supplies or funds...... I remember hearing him mention the city of Cyno! Moreover, the amount is not small. ”

"Oh...... It turned out that I was full of private pockets...... No wonder he came to intercede with me all the time, it seems that he not only lost his official position, but also lost his life! Lindsay sat upright in her chair, her fingers tapping on the table in a casual but majestic tone.

"Actually, it's quite normal~ You don't want to think about how far away the emperor is in this Sino City. Just because it is too far away, we can't see it, and when we want to see it, we make a big fanfare, and when we get here, we can't see the essence and the truth. Edith took a sip of wine and said in a deep voice, "The city lord is afraid, of course he is afraid. Are there still fewer corrupt officials executed by your Lindsay? The more such people are, the less courageous they are, and the heavier their scheming. So, Dick...... It's better to be careful~ Even the secret guard can't find out the details, it's definitely not simple! ”

Dick's face was a little solemn, and then he looked at the two subordinates and ordered: "The priority of the secret guard is the safety of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, you two must always remember that Kairu secretly follows the city lord and reports his movements every hour, no matter what you hear or see, you must report truthfully!" ”

"Yes, Chief!" Kairu owed, and his figure disappeared from the crowd.

"Nokai, you're around here. Keep an eye out for changes here! ”

Nokai was ordered to leave, Dick's eyes were unusually firm, and when it came to Lindsay, he would be extremely rigorous.

"The city lord shouldn't act rashly in a short time, unless the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry. As long as he moves like this, he will be exposed. For the God of War of Loraine, he is still very taboo~ I estimate ......" Edith looked at Lindsay, Lindsay mockingly hooked the corners of his lips and continued: "There are several possibilities, people who know that they can't beat people can't move will first consider how to flatter. Do something to please me. However, he should also know that I am a person who is soft and hard. The other is the lowest means, secretly using hands and feet, taking the opportunity to do us, and then throwing the charges to Bolt. The queen is very taboo about Usain Bolt, and who knows what she will do if she will question Amos or start a war for the sake of a few of us......"

Edith nodded: "There is a possibility, that is, to summon up the courage to confess your mistakes and avoid the important and trivial." Especially the current thorny plague, when the plague subsides, I will be guilty of making some contributions~~"

"Dick, send men. Gather evidence of this person's guilt. ”

"Well, I'll send a message out." Dick stood by the window, and took the jade whistle from his bosom and blew it. They didn't have to wait long before they heard the sound of flapping their wings. An eagle landed by the window, staring at the few people in the room with piercing eyes. Dick stuffed the written note into the hidden pocket hanging on the eagle's leg and tied it firmly: "Go~ Go to the imperial capital!" ”

The eagle cried and flailed its wings away, and Lindsay walked to the window to look at the streetscape. The two men knew that what Lindsay was really worried about was Hovis. So far, there has been no news from Hovis...... Hovis, where the hell are you, and are you in danger?

Distraught, Lindsey hammered the window frame, what should she do? In the current situation, staying in Sino City is the best choice, why wait? It only upsets her even more.

"Lindsay, there is no news of Hovis, we are also in a hurry, but you have to believe Hovis. His medical skills, his knowledge, his family, and his unknown side! There's no way to be in a hurry with this, so you can only wait...... Now no one knows how the plague broke out, let alone what the route of transmission is?! I know you want to go to find it, but whoever goes out and goes to the epidemic area has the possibility of being infected. You're a princess, the first heir to the throne of Lorraine, and you can't take any chances! ”

Edith did not give up on persuasion, and seeing Lindsay's anxious appearance, even he himself became irritable. But if he didn't persuade, Edith could promise that Lindsay would run out and get Hovis back. Instead of this, it is better to persuade Lindsay and give Hovis more trust...... (To be continued.) )
