Just as a few people were at a stalemate, the gate was suddenly opened, and a team of guards in armor rushed in, quickly stopping the few people who were still very arrogant just now.

The boss was held by his wife and looked up at the open door. He recognized the guards who came in as the patrol guards of his city. As for why he came, he guessed that a neighbor should have seen something wrong with him and went to inform him.

In fact, the current situation is somewhat different from his thoughts, and there is a certain element of coincidence that the escort team came in such a timely manner.

"Are you alright?" The mistress of the house glanced at the members of the escort team and looked nervously at her husband.

The man wiped the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, smiled gently at his wife, and replied nonchalantly: "It's nothing, it's just that I haven't been active like this for a long time, and I'm really a little unaccustomed to it for a while." ”

"It's all bleeding, and they say it's okay." The hostess looked at the bruises on her husband's face distressedly, and gently wiped it with her handkerchief.

Seeing that she was safe, Mona walked quickly to the two of them and said apologetically, "Aunt Dai, I caused you trouble." ”

"Look at what you kid said, it has nothing to do with you, it's these people who are too hateful." She said as she glared hatefully at the people who were being held up.

And just as they were talking, the group walked in through the gate, and at the lead was an old man with gray hair and extraordinary clothes, who had a look of anticipation in his eyes, as if he was looking for something, and glanced at everyone present.

The man who followed him was the captain of the city's guards, he was not a squad leader, he was the only captain, and all the guards in the city were under his control.

He was not in the city a few days ago, but received an order from the city lord to help the old man beside him find someone in the surrounding villages.

The old man was the Grand Butler of Count Ulysses, not that he did not have a name, but that in the past few decades, everyone directly called him Grand Butler of Ulysses, and he was used to this title.

This time, because the Earl of Ulysses was critically ill and urgently needed to find his granddaughter to inherit his title, even the chief butler was sent out to find someone.

In this country, royal power and divine power have been mutually restrained for a long time, but for now, it has always been royal power. The old earl is critically ill and urgently needs an heir, otherwise not only the noble title will be taken back by the king, but also the fiefs in the domain.

The reason why he was so anxious this time was that the situation of the Ulysses family was a little special, and the old earl was nearly seventy years old this year, but he only had one son under his knees.

The only heir, because of his own marital problems, had a conflict with the old earl, and lived alone outside. The old earl knew that he had a granddaughter, but when the relationship did not improve, he gradually cut off contact with his son, and now it was as difficult to find someone as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

But fortunately, there were some eyebrows before, and a general range was delineated, and later when he heard that a nobleman was lost here, the chief butler came here with the mentality of trying his luck.

"Butler Ulysses, the person you're looking for is the girl over there." The captain smiled flatteringly at the old man beside him, the city lord is not in the city recently, and he is the person in charge, if he can satisfy the grand butler of Ulysses, his career will be more smooth.

"Yes." The big butler of Ulysses tapped his head, snorted lightly in response, and then slowly turned his gaze to Shen Mengdie, who was standing quietly on the side.

And at this moment, Shen Mengdie knew the current situation as well, she was like being trapped in her own consciousness, she could only watch quietly, and could not respond to others.

Mona stayed with the owner of the bakery, and the three of them were surprised by the sudden increase in people.

"Thank you for helping us keep those people at bay, otherwise we would be in big trouble today." The man nodded and thanked the person who came in at the door, and at the same time wondered about the strange behavior of the other party, and then couldn't help but ask softly, "Is there anything else?" Where we can be used, we will actively cooperate. ”

When the butler heard the man's words, the butler of Ulysses turned his gaze away.

Seeing this, the captain of the escort team hurriedly took over the words and explained to the butler of Ulysses: "This is the owner of this shop. ”

The butler of Ulysses nodded his head, and then said slowly, "Excuse me, we have something to talk to the girl." As he spoke, he pointed to the stunned man on the side.

"Oh, she's our guest. In that case, then you can talk about it yourself, and we won't bother. The man signaled that he understood, he knew that the other party should be rich or expensive, and did not want to talk to him, but he did not feel depressed, but walked to the backyard with his wife. He had been beaten a lot just now, and his body was aching faintly, so he had to go back and treat the wound first.

Mengna saw the people next to her leave, and she wanted to leave together, but after glancing at Shen Mengdie over there, she decided to stay first to see the later development of things.

When the Butler of Ulysses saw Shen Mengdie, he didn't know why, but he felt that the person in front of him was the heir of Count Ulysses that he had been looking for for a long time, which was a very strange feeling, and it seemed very strange to happen to an old man like him.

The captain of the escort team could obviously sense the thoughts of the great butler of Ulysses, so he beckoned to the person behind him, and explained in his ear: "You escort these gangsters out first, and you wait for me outside." ”

The man who came over nodded, signaling that he understood. If Mona were to take a closer look at this person, she would recognize the man in front of her as the captain of the escort team she had met this morning.

The captain had planned to wait for the captain to return in two days before dealing with the affairs of the nobles, but at noon, the captain returned, and not only that, but also brought back a distinguished guest, the grand butler of the Earl of Ulysses.

After a brief inquiry, he knew that the other party was looking for someone, and at that moment, he thought of what he had received in the morning, so there was a scene of people coming here to look for people now.

As soon as he thought that he would make a great contribution this time, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and the goal of being promoted to an official and making a fortune was not far from him.

"Bring someone with me." He straightened his face and ordered the guards who were remanding the prisoners, ignoring the prisoners who were scolding. Then he glanced back at the situation above, sighed lightly, turned around and walked out.
