Chapter 81: Emergencies
What kind of person is Lord Renault, Manny Foster City is not very clear to the people who are relatively closed to the news, how high the rank of the deputy commander of the royal capital patrol is, how great the power is, and there are different opinions, I can't figure it out, but if the ordinary people have the right to decide their life and death, it is estimated that Lord Renault's head has long been hung on the top of the city gate to show public apology, even if he fails to do so, cut a small paper figure and mark the words Johnson Renault, and take a large nail to nail the brain. It is still possible to slap the limbs or simply take the soles of the shoes and slam them hard.
However, for the city guards who are used to being a mountain of military orders, it is not a joke, and if the implementation is not in place, it will be a march to cut off the head.
Therefore, according to the strict order issued by "Lord Renault", in the past three days, the city guards have carried out a thorough and meticulous investigation of the cadres who have left the city, especially in the aspect of guarding against young women who are beautiful and have a good figure, and it is very likely that they are the culprits who killed the city lord's family of Stipild.
Not to mention anything else, the valuable stolen goods stolen from the city lord's mansion can be put on anyone's body to carry out of the city, which forces the city guards to be very careful to inspect every young woman who goes out of the city, especially for single women, it can be said that every part of the body is basically not leaked, to ensure that they can't even carry a needle out.
As for the traders who enter the city, of course, it is also necessary to prevent them from colluding with the murderer inside and outside, causing damage to the first priority of the arrest of the murderer, so the goods they carry must also be strictly searched, and any property suspected of being prohibited, uh, no, it is an item, must be strictly investigated and punished, temporarily detained in the city guard headquarters, carefully investigated one by one in accordance with the process, and returned after confirming that there is no problem.
What, you ask, when will the check-up be completed?
Who knows, you must know that Lord Renault ordered the city guards to make the arrest of the murderer the top priority, and after all other matters are pressed, there is currently a serious shortage of manpower, and after the murderer is caught and punished, you can ask again.
As for the fact that there is a whole group of mercenaries who are strong and proficient in martial arts and armed with knives and guns, they belong to the "highly dangerous elements" that should be strictly investigated, and the city guards will certainly not take it lightly, and the knives and guns are straight up, and as a result, a man wearing the clothes of a wealthy housekeeper took the initiative to come forward to talk, and his attitude was very polite, and between the words, a bag of silver Keen, which was full of weight and enough to represent their status as a good citizen and friendly attitude, quietly slipped into the trouser pocket of the officer at the head.
"Let's go, let's go. Hurry up, don't get in the way!"
In line with the principle of "disturbing the people as little as possible", the officer waved his hand and was about to let him go directly, but he didn't expect that the noble young masters and young ladies above the city who were above the top of the city rushed down in a hurry, and had to curse secretly, and reluctantly played the role of a responsible janitor.
Pierre didn't even look at the officer who greeted him with a sneer, and took Sophie to the middle of the convoy with his long legs.
Finding the carriage with the violet pattern inserted in it, next to the most ornately decorated carriage, about a step away from the carriage, Pierre stroked his chest with his right hand, performed a standard aristocratic etiquette, and greeted aloud: "Dare to ask whether it is the Marquis or the noble Marquise on the carriage." I'm Pierre of the Renault family, and I'm here to say hello. β
"Oh, it's Pierre. How are your father and mother doing? By the way, why are you here?"
The curtain of the car window was lifted a small piece, revealing a white and tender face, the makeup was very exquisite, almost even a little crow's feet at the corners of the eyes were completely covered, and the absolute charm still existed, if it weren't for the slightly rounded double chin betraying the real age of the owner, I am afraid that the word "half-aged" would not have popped up in people's minds.
As soon as Pierre saw the representative face of the other party, he recognized that it was indeed the Marquise de Ryder in the car, since it was such a noble master who hired the "Black Lion Mercenary Group", he immediately dispelled most of the doubts about the identity of the entourage of the convoy, he owed a debt, and said respectfully: "Thank you Madame for your concern, my father and mother are in good health." I went out this time to follow Uncle Johnson out to do something, and it didn't matter. But my mother often talks to you, saying that you haven't seen each other for some days. β
"Oh. yes. Speaking of which, it is true that we sisters haven't seen each other in a while. When I go back this time, I will definitely make an appointment to come out and have a good chat. β
Marquise Ryder said with a smile, her eyebrows flashed, obviously she was also a beauty who turned all beings upside down when she was young, no wonder she could become Marquis Ryder's wife.
It was only then that she noticed Sophie beside Pierre, and asked, "Who is this ...... next to you?"
"Sophie greets the Marquise! β
Sophie immediately bowed, also with her right hand on her chest, performing a male aristocratic etiquette. She was wearing a slim samurai uniform at the moment, with a sword around her waist, and she knew at a glance that she was ready to fight at any time, so she couldn't perform a blessing ceremony like a noble girl in a skirt.
"Might as well be it. I said, who is it? It was Sophie. I haven't seen her for a few years, and the cute little girl has become a big girl, and she is smart, I really don't know which kid will be cheaper in the future. I think that, or do you want to be a couple with our Peter?"
The Marquise Ryder looked Sophie up and down several times, covered her mouth and smiled.
Madame was wrong. If my little sister is lucky enough to be your daughter-in-law, my aunt will laugh out loud in her dreams. β
When it comes to her marriage, Sophie is inconvenient to respond, so her cousin Pierre takes over from the side.
"Then I'll make a reservation first. When you also return to the royal capital, don't forget to visit our mansion. β
The honorable Marquise graciously invited.
"Definitely, definitely. As long as Madame doesn't think we're abrupt, we'll definitely visit you at that time. β
Pierre hurriedly replied.
Chenxi next to the car silently rolled her eyes, these old aristocrats are hypocrisy, as soon as they heard the conversation, they knew that the two families were not familiar, especially the Marquise de Ryder, I am afraid that she usually has little intersection with Pierre's mother, and when they meet by chance, if someone else introduces their identities in time, the two basically can't recognize each other. At the moment, the two sides are talking about false and false clichΓ©s with a serious smile on their faces, and they are really old aristocrats!
As for the praise of Miss Sophie, what kind of "water spirit", it is better to marry their Peter or something, pull it down, it sounds sincere, but in fact it is not even feasible at all. By the way, does the Marquise have any misunderstanding of the adjective "water spirit"? Sophie's man's wife, it doesn't match this compliment at all, okay, to put it bluntly, who wants her?
Under the slander and faint ridicule of the morning light, Pierre and the Marquise de Ryder finally completed the routine acting session that was insincere to each other, but had to go all out, and said their sincere wishes to each other's future trips, Pierre, Sophie and others, who were juniors, bowed down again to the Marquise de Ryder in the car to show respect and farewell.
As the Marquise de Ryder nodded reservedly, lowered the curtains, and the butler gave an order, the convoy began to slowly start and move forward again, heading towards the outside of Manny Foster City.
Seeing that the long convoy has successfully left the city, and the protagonist of our story is about to calmly leave the wanted city, perhaps God thinks that this is not dramatic enough, and decisively adds drama. When the middle of the convoy escorted by Chenxi and others happened to be in front of the city gate, the situation suddenly changed.
The officer of the city guard guarding in front of the doorway was full of astonishment, and when he saw the morning light next to the Marquise de Ryder's car, his mouth immediately opened, and at the same time he wailed in his heart: How could it be her! It was really her!!!!
This silently screaming City Guard officer was the one who led the team to guard the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion a few nights ago, the bearded Joey!
As soon as Chenxi saw him showing such a stupid look that he shouldn't have, he hurriedly raised his fingers, quickly put them to his mouth, and quietly made a "shhhhh
However, it was still too late.
The bearded Joey, who was completely stunned by the big devil girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, didn't know what to do at this time, and his stunned appearance would be abnormal if anyone saw it. Moreover, in addition to the bearded officer who lost his temper, dozens of city guard soldiers on the left and right sides in front of him and behind him, on the left, right, and right, were all exactly the same as their bosses, and it was difficult not to attract the attention of outsiders.
"What's going on?"
The majestic shouts came as scheduled, and Pierre, who was aware of the abnormality of his subordinates, rushed to the scene of the incident, and while asking the bearded man, he held the hilt of his sword in his hand, ready to draw his sword at any time.
Sophie, who came with him, and the private soldiers of the Renault family, also clenched the weapons in their hands as if they were facing a great enemy, and stared at the nearby mercenaries and others separately, waiting for Pierre's order to start taking people.
After eating wind and sand for several days, I finally got up to run, did the murderer show up?
Chenxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she quietly held the short sword in her sleeve. As long as the bearded man doesn't answer correctly, they have only one way left. As for how to explain to George and other relevant people in the mercenary family after he got out of the city, he can only leave it to the future when he has the opportunity. In any case, once the act of deceiving and using the mercenary house is exposed, it will already greatly offend this behemoth, and if it is not handled well, there will be endless troubles.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse.
"I mean, even if I'm riding a bull, I don't need to look at people like that, do you? What do you mean, haven't you ever seen a mercenary riding a bull before?"
Just when the fierce battle was about to break out, Normer's obviously aggrieved voice sounded, and everyone immediately focused their eyes on the young man behind Chenxi, and when the tense crowd carefully saw the young man's mount, and the young man himself, whose face was faintly red, the entire people near the city gate burst into laughter!
"Wha, Bull Knight, it's Bull Knight!hahaha!"
No one expected that the first person to react at the scene was the bearded officer who was caught off guard and almost got into trouble, only to see him pointing at Normer with one hand, holding his stomach with the other, laughing forward and backward, uncontrollable, his face was flushed, and even tears flowed out of his laughter, so he almost sat on the ground and rolled, perfectly covering up his previous gaffe.
