Chapter 17: Goodbye Mary
"Ah~ It's finally here!"
"I haven't gone down the mountain for decades, and the royal capital is still the same! It's disappointing. ”
The walls of the royal capital are tall and solid, the towering city gate can accommodate ten war horses to pass side by side, the people who come and go are dressed more affluently than other places, the soldiers who are stuck outside the gate are mighty, and only one city gate can show the solemnity and dignity of the royal capital.
Charlotte took Xiaobai to wait at the end of the long line to enter the city, I don't know why, today the guards seem to be very strict, and the items that come and go are also going through, so the speed of the team is very slow, and there is a big man in front of him who is very impatient, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, scolding from time to time, and his words are unbearable.
"I didn't expect that my Bai Yi would have to line up to enter the city one day, alas!"
Xiaobai and the others were anxious, and they also began to sigh for a long time.
"Get out of the way!"
A groom in the back drove the people in front of the line, the groom drove a three-horse luxury car with the family crest of the Edward family on the front, and the person who was whipped did not dare to resist and obediently gave way to a road, Charlotte did not want to make trouble, and avoided the carriage when she saw it from a distance.
Everyone was afraid of the power of the Edward family, and swallowed their anger to let the entrance and exit, the big man who kept scolding the street before just refused to let it, and the groom was used to taking advantage of the master's prestige, and when he saw someone daring to contradict him, he didn't say anything about it, but the whip was >broken before it hit the big manA few verses of the novel, it turns out that this big man is good, and the groom's whip is a toy for a little fart child in his opinion, and it is not worth mentioning at all!
"Where did you borrow the guts of a pariah bastard! Dare to offend the Edwards! ”
The groom was annoyed and angry, and insulted the big man, and the big man's anger rose, and he stepped forward and pulled the groom off the car and pressed it to the ground.
"Fox fake tiger villain, today I will let you go to God!"
The big man punched the horseman three or two punches, and screamed to the master to save him,
"Madame! Madame, help! ”
There were people in the crowd on the side who cheered for the big man, most of them were locals of the royal capital, and they had long been disgusted by the Edward family's tyranny, and some people vented their evil anger for them, and these people felt very happy.
"Xiaobai, I'm afraid it's hard for this big man to get out,"
Dahan's behavior also made Charlotte feel a little good for him, and she began to worry about Dahan.
"There's no way out, don't you see the defenders at the city gate coming here?"
More than a dozen men at the city gate surrounded the carriage and the two people in front of the carriage.
"Who dares to fight here! Stop it! ”
The window of the carriage opened, and a gorgeous head came out of it, and the noblewoman raised her eyebrows and accused angrily,
"My people! Why, you little officer also want to stop me? ”
As soon as the officer at the head saw the noblewoman, he immediately changed his face,
"Madam, the villain saw Madame's carriage specially welcome Madame into the city,"
"Do you hear me? Make a way for Madame! ”
The soldiers behind immediately took action when they heard this, and drove the people at the door to the side of the road with long swords and shields, and the big man who was still very hard just now saw that the people in the carriage were even commanded by the officers, and he secretly regretted it, and the soles of his feet were about to slip away, but this groom was a guy with a small belly, how could he let go of the big man who beat himself, the groom pointed to the big man and complained to the officer,
"General, this guy stopped Madame's carriage and beat me, the general must not let him go!"
"Oh? Someone, get him for me! ”
The two soldiers were ordered to catch the big man, and the big man knew that it was unreasonable to talk to these people, not to mention that now the groom was bullying people, and he was out of luck today!
"Wait!"
Charlotte still couldn't swallow this breath, and Xiaobai was about to kneel for this troublemaker......
"I obviously saw that this groom was bullying, and he did it first, and the whip on the ground is proof, why are you arresting this person!"
When the officer saw Charlotte, he first didn't believe it, she wouldn't be so stupid, right? Throwing yourself into the net? This woman just looks like Cinderella, right?
"Who are you?"
"Who do you care who I am, just say you can't let people go?"
The officer smiled playfully,
"The little girl looks good, how about giving her brother a warm quilt, and letting him go as soon as my brother's heart softens?"
It seems that if he doesn't tell his identity, this officer won't let go of the big man,
"Do you know Mr. Lucas? I'm his daughter, and if you want me to warm the bed, I'm afraid I'm going to have to talk to my father! ”
The soldiers looked at each other, the officer's face sank, it was really Lucas's daughter,
"Arrest this sinner for me!"
Charlotte didn't expect the officer to call someone to arrest her, and she was carelessly tied up by the soldiers, and she struggled a few times and couldn't get it open, she subconsciously glanced at Xiaobai, this guy shook his head at her, she understood that Xiaobai was asking her to push the boat down the river to see what was going on, Charlotte simply stopped resisting and was brought into the royal capital by the soldiers.
The officer thought that he had made a great achievement, and he had no time to take care of patting the lady's ass, so he took Charlotte to throw off the door and leave, and the big man escaped, he did not leave in a hurry but secretly followed the officer to wait for an opportunity to rescue Charlotte.
Pushed all the way by the soldiers, Charlotte looks like a fairy, if it weren't for the criminals that the officer wants to catch, those little soldiers will never be able to meet such a beautiful girl in their lives, Charlotte smiled flatteringly at a little soldier, the little soldier smirked shyly, Charlotte saw that there was a play, and immediately opened her mouth numbly,
"Brother Little Soldier, hehe, can you tell me what happened to Lucas's family recently?"
The little soldier was stunned by her, so he naturally said everything,
"The king suddenly said that the Lucas family despised the royal family and copied the Lucas family, and later I heard that it was because the youngest daughter of the Lucas family impersonated the eldest lady Charlotte to attend the dinner, which was not a big deal, but unfortunately the little daughter actually broke the head of Baron Danse at the meeting, which was used by Count Riosha to play, and the Lucas family is really miserable! Oh! I'm sorry! Forget that you are also from the Lucas family, you are really Lucas's daughter? How can it be outside? ”
Charlotte was shocked by the news, and even ignored Xiaobing's question, how could such a big thing happen at home in just a few days? The Lucas family is also a famous family in the royal capital, how can it be so vulnerable? Who's going on here? Could it be that someone had planned to bring down the Lucas family in advance? Too many questions swirling around in Charlotte's mind and nowhere to vent,
"Ahh ~~~~”
Xiaobai followed behind and didn't know what Xiaobing and Charlotte said, hearing Charlotte screaming, Xiaobai's heart tugged, looked around and found that it was a secluded street with no pedestrians, Xiaobai roared angrily and ran towards Charlotte, the soldiers turned back in horror and found that it was just a cat, they relaxed again, and some people who liked cats stopped to tease him,
"Hey! Kitty, come and buy you bread to eat, hahaha"
"Roar!"
"Haha, what a great kitten!"
It wasn't until Xiaobai bit off the rope that bound Charlotte that these idiots noticed something different,
"Stop her! She wants to run away! ”
"Catch that cat for me!"
Charlotte ran first, after Xiaobai broke off, the soldiers wanted to chase and were afraid of Xiaobai's sharp teeth, so they had to follow them not far away, and turned into an alley Charlotte was a little exhausted, Xiaobai also saw it, he ran while looking for a place to hide, and soon he found that the door of a house was open,
"Charlotte, don't run! You go into this house and hide, and I'll lure them away, and we'll gather here. ”
"Okay, Xiaobai, be careful!"
Xiaobai ran away with a cigarette, leaving a sentence in a chic manner,
"I'll be looking for you in a moment!"
Charlotte hid in the door of the house and secretly paid attention to the situation on the street outside, and saw that the soldiers had run away with Xiaobai without suspicion, Charlotte breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the ground and closed her eyes to calm down,
"Charlotte!?"
The sound of surprise frightened Charlotte to jump, and a thin little girl in front of her was looking at her happily, pointing to the room, Charlotte wanted to ask if it was inconvenient for Fang to go in and say, how smart the little girl was, she nodded and took Charlotte in, and when she entered the room, Charlotte closed the door tightly before she dared to speak,
"Mary! You,"
Charlotte didn't know what to say, the last time we saw her, she was still a precious daughter, but now when we see her again, she has become a criminal, and her situation is no better than Mary, she wants to miss Mary very much, but these things can't be said anymore, she doesn't want to involve Mary.
"Charlotte, I've been thinking about you all these days, and I'm finally seeing you again!"
Mary wiped her tears excitedly, a little face turned into a flower cat, Mary still had a bad life, Charlotte was very sad when she thought of this, such a kind girl, why life was so stingy with her.
"That's it! I had nothing to do, I was waiting for a friend today, but I didn't expect him to come all the time, so I came in and begged for a glass of water when I was thirsty. Leave in a moment. ”
Charlotte pretended to be relaxed, Mary stopped talking after listening, and looked straight at Charlotte, Charlotte was so weak that she didn't dare to look directly into her big eyes, and suddenly heard Mary say sadly,
"Charlotte, am I not your best friend? You don't have to lie to me, I know everything about the Lucas family. ”
Charlotte looked at Mary in amazement,
"Although my family is poor, my father is the chief of the military camp, and his military salary has been spent by him for drinking and gambling, and my mother can't do anything about him."
Talking about his father, Mary, who loved and hated,
"My father also participated in the operation to arrest the Lucas family the other day. Sorry, Charlotte. ”
Unexpectedly, Mary was not shy about telling herself that her father was involved in the arrest, Charlotte was complicated, it was impossible to say that there was no mustard at all, but this matter had nothing to do with her father, Charlotte quickly thought about it,
"Mary, this has nothing to do with your family, you don't have to apologize to me. As soon as I returned to the royal capital, I was caught, and it was thanks to someone secretly helping me that I was able to escape. ”
Mary took Charlotte's hand and looked at her fearfully,
"God forbid! May that good man go to heaven! Charlotte, the royal capital is safe for you, you stay in my house, I promise not to tell anyone. ”
"No, I can't bother you! Now my parents and sisters don't know life and death, and I don't want to even you,,"
"Charlotte! Stay here and I'll help you find out about your family. ”
Mary is desperate to keep Charlotte, Charlotte hesitates, on one side of the family is uncertain, on the other side is the best friend, what should she do?
