Chapter 23: The Mystery of Identity
Looking at the craftsmen working against time, Lindsay nodded with satisfaction. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info because she was not at ease, she went out of town with Edith. When the refugees learned that a camp was being built in the city to house them, they were very grateful and came to wait near the camp.
After a few days, the rush was quite fruitful, and the lord of the city invited the best craftsmen in the area, because it was a temporary residence, not so exquisite, and it was enough to settle down. So these jobs are simple, but what is needed is quantity.
The official next to the city lord saw what Lindsay and Edith hurriedly said to him, and saw the city lord turn his head and saw Lindsay hurriedly come to the two of them: "I have seen Her Royal Highness the princess and the duke." ”
"Hmm...... You're welcome. It's quite gratifying to see you supervising in person...... Arrange for guards to maintain order for the refugees, and distribute food to them first. Looking at the appearance of these people, they have been hungry for a long time, so that everyone is full of food and drink, and it is not better to help together! ”
"What Her Royal Highness the Princess said is very true!" The lord of the castle beckoned to his subordinates, and a large amount of food and water was brought in, and the suffering people saw that there was a fight for food and water and surrounded the guards, and the guards handed them food. Watching the refugees gobble, Lindsay's heart tugged at each other.
Is this still the rich Loland Empire? When did Lorrain ever see such a scene? Who the hell is it...... Who the hell is cholera she is dedicated to guarding the country! Lindsay's hands were clenched tightly, and her nails were sinking into the flesh before she knew it. Edith grabbed Lindsay on the shoulder and patted her.
"It doesn't have to be like this...... Lindsay, no country is too calm, especially a strong country like Loraine. Don't be too upset, just do what we can to help them. ”
"I know, but it's sad to look at them...... Lord of the castle, gather all the doctors in the city together. Hovis will teach them the methods of medicine, although there is no cure, but it can be controlled and prevented. Cure everyone in the city and them as quickly as possible! The castle lord doesn't have to worry about it this time...... Hovis, whom you don't trust, has found a way to control the epidemic......"
Lindsey hooked the corners of her lips in a somewhat mocking tone, for someone who gave her a bad impression at first sight. Lindsay wouldn't be too kind to this guy after that.
"Yes...... Be...... is worthy of being a master of the imperial doctor, and the villain is ignorant...... Villain ......"
"That's it!" Lindsay waved his hand in annoyance: "Anyone who sounds good will say, Lord of the City, this princess looks at the result." Reaching the end of this princess, even if you are a mute I am happy. ”
"Lord of the City~ You are far away in the border city, and you may not know Lindsay's preferences. Lindsay, she likes people who are down-to-earth and practical, not the kind of person who likes to talk but doesn't do anything or can't do it well. Moreover, I have a bad temper with her, there is no way, the temper of people who fight all year round is not the same~"
"Yes, yes...... The villain went to see the progress of the project, and the two ......"
"Feel free to be the lord of the city, let's take a look everywhere~" Lindsay turned around and left with Edith into the city, looking around along the way, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.
Seeing that Lindsay had something on her mind, Editis grabbed her: "What are you thinking?" ”
"I always feel like something is wrong......
Lindsay's alertness and judgment are very accurate, and if she feels something is wrong, there is something wrong with her.
"Tell me about your first instinct ......"
Lindsay frowned: "The wizard of that day...... Do you think anything is strange? ”
"Wizard ......? It just feels like a bunch of neurotics...... "It's not that Edith is on low alert, it's that on the first day they enter the city, everything is like a farce." Looking at Lindsay's sad appearance, Edith took her hand: "Don't think about it, often there is no clue at this time...... Go to rest and rest...... There should be news from Dick's side~"
The two of them returned to the inn and freshened up on their own, with Di Cheng standing aside. When Lindsay finished bathing, Dick draped her cloth towel and wiped her wet body.
"Is there any news from the Dark Guard?"
"Yes." Dick carefully wiped Lindsay's hair, carefully pressing Lindsay's head with gentle movements.
"It seems that this city lord is actually very simple, and he doesn't have too much background, right...... It's just cunning and careful......" Lindsay felt her lips be pecked, and she opened her eyes to look at Dick. Dick set the cloth towel aside: "Well, you guessed it right...... The lord of the city...... Not aristocratic ......"
Lindsay raised an eyebrow, not aristocratic...... The royal family of Lorrain stipulated that officials, big and small, must be of noble origin and refused all chains of relations. Those who are related to each other should also be transferred to different positions in different regions. Regarding the relationship chain, Lindsay is very taboo.
"Have you found out who this person really is?" Lindsey stroked her long blonde hair and looked at Dick.
"Well, the city lord's real name is Ron. Seth. Bandit Born...... When he was young, he was ruthless, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. When he colluded with a group of companions to rob caravans and sack villages, he met the nephew of the former city lord by chance. This man is an adopted child with a bad heart. I wanted to be the lord of the city, but I didn't have a chance, and I met Ron. After Seth, the two conspired to kill the lord and his family. He thought he would be able to sit on the throne of the city lord with peace of mind, but he was killed by Ron. Ron used a lot of tricks to make people believe that he was a relative of the city lord. It was also thanks to his ability that those who opposed him were tortured by him to support his ascension. When Ron sat on the throne of the city lord, he wiped out his former bandit companions and the old department of the former city lord. Since then, there has never been a bandit named Ron again. It's the current Aino. Abel. Some of the incriminating evidence about him being a bandit was also destroyed by him personally. Therefore, the secret guard was hindered when he checked his identity. ”
"I didn't expect to hear such a wonderful story as soon as I came~" Edith pushed open Lindsay's door and seemed to be smiling, but there was a fierce and angry look in his eyes.
"This person is really vicious. However, this person~ the older he is, the more careful he is. There is no cunning and cunning at all...... It's just too comfortable. Lindsay said plainly, but the more bland she was, the more frightening it would be.
"And now? What are you going to do? Edith picked up Lindsay and kissed her rosy cheek.
"This man is useful now~ Dick, since he has all his mouths. How did the Dark Guard find out? Lindsey asked, patting Edith's hand away from her fumbling hands.
"Back then, when he was in the bloodbath of the old department, there was a person who was lucky to survive. Incognito...... For revenge. It took a lot of effort to find this person...... Of course, our Secret Guard also has enough evidence to prove that he was a bandit back then. ”
"Okay, there is no mistake in sending that survivor to the imperial capital to be closely guarded!"
"Rest assured. This person is already on his way to the imperial capital......"
Dick was always like this, and his mind was dense. It was clear what Lindsay wanted to do, and he would definitely do it without being told. Edith smacked his lips a few times: "Lindsay~ If Dick wasn't your man, I really wanted to dig him up to me and do something for me." With Dick here, it's so worry-free~"
"Less attention to Dick!" Lindsay gave Edith a blank look, and her body broke away from his embrace. (To be continued.) )
