A day had passed, and 100,000 gold coins had been deposited, but Baron Haijvi's face was full of sorrow.

It was dark now, and Baron Hydgvi came to the rooftop again, his face nostalgic, as if he was remembering an old man.

"Let's get to the point of collecting taxes," said Baron Hydgvi to Amanda the Captain behind him, "and find a way to drag it out for another day, do you have any idea?"

Hearing this, the chief of the guard, Amanda shook her head, "The ceremonial officers are all eunuchs who have been castrated, and they have almost no shortcomings except for gold coins. He pondered for a moment, then casually continued, "But the warriors who followed him were not eunuchs, so maybe we could start with them. ”

Baron Haijivi's eyes lit up and said, "This is not a bad idea, what do you want to do?"

Amanda said, "My lord, there are some little nightingales in the town of peace who are engaged in love trading, and I can take them out for a while tonight, I wonder if this will anger the ceremonial officer." ”

"Then find a way to get them out on their own. Haijivi looked down from the rooftop, "Huh...... They've got a bonfire now, and they're really pompous, colorful, and nondescript, like a ragtag army. How could the ceremonial officer recruit such a servant samurai? Presumably they won't mind going outside to have a good time, and you find a way to get them out, and it's better that they can't return to the castle before tomorrow afternoon, so that the ceremonial officer won't be able to leave tomorrow, and we will have an extra day to prepare. Baron Hajvi frowned deeply as he listened to the commotion coming from below. "If you want to transport 300,000 gold coins, these people are obviously not enough, they walked out of the castle during the day today, presumably to go outside to recruit mercenaries or samurai, you can also find a way to find out where they went to recruit people during the day. Peace Town is that big, and I'm sure it's not a big deal for you. ”

Amanda stepped off the rooftop and walked towards the group of more than a dozen samurai who were having a bonfire. Baron Hygivi on the rooftop looked at such a picture, he could not bear the desolation of the cold wind of the autumn night, and turned and walked towards the corridor.

Just as he reached the middle of the rooftop, he saw a figure come out of the hallway. It was his daughter, Hayska.

"Why did you get here? Baron Hajvi said calmly.

Hasjia's face was worried:

"Dad, I've heard ......," she hesitated, "I've heard you're going to collect taxes, and they're heavy taxes." ”

Just yesterday I told the Chief of Security Amanda, how did Hayser know...... Baron Hydgwick nodded, not speaking.

Hayser came up to him and pointed beyond the rooftop:

"Dad, this is a peaceful town, and you personally promised that the people in the peaceful town would not have to pay taxes for three years. You've always been generous, why did you do it all of a sudden?"

After a few seconds of silence, he whispered, "Have I always been generous?"

Baron Hajvi's eyes were confused, and he closed his eyes in confusion. After a while, he reopened his eyes and looked at his daughter in front of him.

The violet-colored pupils were full of reverence and affirmation for his father, and even he saw the innocence that never disappeared. If you say all the words in your heart, the innocence will definitely disappear.

His heart is desperate, but he must not show it in front of his daughter. I have full anger towards the world, and I can't show it in front of her. The wedding with Pisa almost pushed her into the abyss, and she should feel guilty and should no longer make the simple and kind girl in front of her sad.

"As a nobleman, it is my duty to collect sufficient taxes for the kingdom, and I cannot change this without permission. ”

"But you can't triple the tax for three years at a time!? ”

Baron Hygivi's fingers fumbled with the black, rounded noble cane, and quickly made a decision.

Telling a white lie to his daughter was a difficult thing for Baron Hydgwick from time to time, and the most difficult thing at the moment was how to calm her emotions quietly.

Blame all the faults on the insatiable king, and more on the ceremonial officer who is inconsistent in appearance. If he said this, he would definitely be able to gain Haysjia's trust and sympathy.

But he quickly dismissed the reason.

If she said that, Hasgar would have lost faith in this terrible world, and nothing was more important than the good in her heart.

"Hasja, my kind daughter, believe me, I will make amends to the common people in my realm. But not now, you should know that the mayor of the northern town is brewing a racial war, and we need military spending and the people's contribution at this time. ”

The cold wind of the autumn night lingered on the rooftop, and Haysjia's figure looked a little gloomy at this moment. "So, you gave that order yourself. She said, "You don't want to do that, do you?" Hasgar still had a disappointed look in her eyes, and she didn't want her father to see her expression, so she went to the edge of the rooftop and looked into the distance.

It turned out that his daughter was here just to confirm this matter, and Baron Hajvi knew that his image of cruel exploitation had been confirmed in his daughter's heart. After being stunned for more than ten seconds, he smiled bitterly, came to Haysjia's side again, and looked into the distance with her.

In the face of the cold wind, he couldn't help but freeze than Haysjia, who was his daughter, and shivered visibly to the naked eye, and his eyes were slightly hollow. After coming out of the ice cellar, he was extremely cold, as if the air around him had turned into ice, and the cold permeated his body all the time.

Haysjia didn't notice this detail, leaned on the low wall on the edge of the roof with both hands, and muttered, "Is this the world of adults? Dad, I already know a lot, you don't have to hide it from me." ”

Baron Hygivi opened his mouth, feeling the autumn wind stirring against his dry lips, but finally fell silent.

Haysjia naturally didn't like this atmosphere, but the sad feeling couldn't be suppressed. "Daddy," she said, "am I doing something wrong......?

Baron Hajvi suddenly interrupted, "No, you did the right thing!" Looking at his kind daughter, his eyes were full of pity, "I made a stupid choice, and none of this has anything to do with you." Only then did he take the patience to look at the familiar face in front of him and see how she was dressed. His daughter was wearing a light white shirt and silk trousers, and a pair of soft cloth shoes, which made him feel very distressed. "Go back, Hayska, you'll catch a cold if you stay here for a long time. ”

Hasjia lowered her head and muttered:

"Then you can go back too......"

A smile tugged at the corner of Baron Haijvi's lips, and he felt the care from his daughter, and this feeling melted the ice that had been invisibly converging around him.

At this moment, a guard in silver light armor quickly came to the rooftop and appeared behind Baron Hygivi.

Baron Hygivi turned his head to find him, looked at him and said, "What's going on, why are you so flustered?"

He finally evened out his breath and gave a chest touch. "Lord Baron," he reported, "he is again. ”

"Who?"

"It's that blue hat! He also brought a lot of mercenaries and retinues, escorting a large number of carriages to the castle, I don't know what they want to do?" the guard reported, "Now our people have been sent to the surrounding cities to escort the gold coins, and there are only four Kingdom guards left outside the gate, and they can't stop that group of people at all! They are very arrogant, and it is estimated that they will soon be able to pour into the castle." My lord, I have locked the gates of the castle firmly. ”

When Haysjia heard the "blue hat", his face turned red and he quietly lowered his head. "Blue Hat and those mercenaries?" Baron Hajvi noticed his daughter's demeanor, his face showed contemplation, and then he said to the guards: "I heard Amanda say that those mercenaries have the strength of a third-level warrior, and even the regimental commander has the strength of a third-level warrior. If they really want to break in, we can't stop them. ”

"What should we do, Lord Baron?"

"Open the gates of the castle and see what they want to do?"

The guard was horrified and said, "Just let them in?"

Baron Hygivi nodded: "Just let them in." ”

Soon, the guards reopened the gates of the castle.

Just when many of the samurai in the wide courtyard of the castle were dumbfounded, not knowing what had happened tonight, and everyone was puzzled by the light of the campfire...... Suddenly, a carriage rushed in, followed by more carriages.

On the rooftop, Baron Shanghai Jiwei looked at everything beneath the castle with a serious and deep face.

At the same time, another soldier of the kingdom ran up to the rooftop and said to Baron Haijivi, "Your Excellency...... The Blue Hats brought thirty or forty men with them and thirty wagons...... We tried to check their carriage, but the mercenaries stopped them, and they couldn't stop them at all! I have already had the castle gate closed in advance, and I don't know why the castle gate has been opened again for no apparent reason. ”

"yes, I see. Haijivi was extremely calm on the surface, but he didn't know what kind of monstrous waves had been set off in his heart.

Undoubtedly, the arrival of the ceremonial officer had put Baron Hydgwick in a grim moment. At this time, the blue hat under the castle that represents trouble came, why did he bring so many carriages over?

"Did they force their way in, did they hurt you?"

"My lord, no, we wanted to check what was being pulled on the wagon, they just pushed our guys. ”

Under the castle, the warriors next to the campfire were all stunned, and they just watched dozens of carriages fill the entire courtyard.

Soon, a young man in a blue hat stepped out of the many carriages and stood at the front.

He wears a white weird outfit and a blue hat that stands out in the dark.

The samurai around the campfire noticed that the blue-hatted boy seemed to be a little familiar, and when this strange feeling first appeared, they watched as the blue-hatted young man raised his head high, as if looking up at the starry sky.

At this time, only in the samurai crowd, Amanda, the security chief standing there with a wine bag, probably knew what he was looking at!

In that direction, it seems to be the rooftop where Baron Hygivi is located!

On the rooftop, Baron Hydwick was looking down on him. The gaze of the two people crossed seven or eight feet, far away from each other.

"What do you want to do, boy?"

Baron Hygivi whispered. None of the Haysja beside him could hear his whisper, and then the blue hat under the castle shouted directly in his direction, as if he had heard it, "Beautiful princess!
