Maxius is over fifty years old this year, his posture is burly and tough, his spirit is strong, his weather-beaten face can vaguely see the angular and angular appearance of his youth, his resolute eyes are always as sharp and deep as a falcon, and the ruthless carving knife of the years does not seem to have left too many traces on his body.

In the eyes of the locals of Fei'an Town, Maxius is very low-key and mysterious, neither interfering in government affairs, nor participating in banquets held by aristocratic officials, most of the time he lives in seclusion in his manor castle, unless it is related to the grain harvest and other major events of people's livelihood, he will occasionally appear, and he tries his best to make the world forget his existence on weekdays.

In fact, Maxius did just that.

If you find someone in Fei'an Town and ask who Maxius is, I'm afraid that the other party will think for a long time before remembering.

The reason why Maxheus kept a low profile was very simple, one was to supervise the local military and political affairs under the orders of the king, and the other was to keep an eye on the movements of the Heather Empire on the border, and the latter was the top priority of his feud to the town of Fei'an, after all, he was the only one who had won the victory over the behemoth of the Heather Empire over the years, and if the border was lost, he could immediately turn into a surprise knife to launch a rescue counterattack!

Originally, after the Kingdom of Anglion defeated the border raid of the Heather Empire in the year of the Winter Rain, the two countries had maintained a long-term peace, and the clinker began to secretly deploy troops again on the border of the two countries in Kargeras, according to the intelligence sent back by the hidden spies one after another, the future war will be inevitable!

As a deeply trusted by the king, Maxius naturally strictly obeyed the king's orders, and he never relaxed for a moment about the movements of the Heather Empire on the border, but he didn't expect that after all these years of comfort, he would finally be able to go to the battlefield again!

"Send the latest information to Your Majesty immediately, although the border has not relaxed its armament for many years, but it is necessary to be prepared as soon as possible. Otherwise, once the war breaks out, it is likely to cause unnecessary chaos! ”

The old and solemn Maxius tapped his fingers lightly on the tabletop and commanded word by word.

"Do as you command." A low voice in the study said. "Is there anything else you can do?"

"I'll call the knight chief Bony to see me later." Maxius mused.

"Yes! Subordinates retire for the time being! ”

Maxius came to the windowsill with his hands behind his back, staring solemnly at the sultry night outside the window, his mind all focused on the impending war, and as for his grandson Bennett, who had begged him to punish him, he was just a lowly bandit, and he was so worried about it.

……

……

The next day, at noon. The news of Walker's absconding in fear of crime instantly spread throughout the city, and immediately caused the people to talk and cheer, and all the grievances that usually dared to be angry and unspeakable were vented in a hurry, which shows how bad Walker's reputation in the local area is.

"Alain! It has been found above that you have nothing to do with Vernal's murder case, and you are now acquitted by the criminal officer Valker, who wrongfully framed you! ”

When Yas announced the news in front of cell 13, he looked at Alain with a look of surprise in his eyes, who would have thought that something would happen overnight. Valk, who has been entrenched in the position of sheriff for many years, will inexplicably defect in fear of crime! He wouldn't have thought of this result when he was killed!

Just kidding, isn't Yas clear what kind of person Valk is?

Even the bigwigs in the political chamber who want to punish Valker need to weigh the gains and losses of their interests, and Valk has paid a lot of benefits in order to tie them down over the years, and if there is no matchmaking in Valker, their interests will be reduced by at least two or three percent! With the greed of those big guys, will they give up two or three percent of the benefits? I know it's impossible with my ass!

The problem is that Valker really escaped this time! All the valuables in the house were looted, and even the northland horse he regarded as a treasure was gone!

It took him a lot of effort to get the news that it was said that it was the Inspectorate that was responsible for the arrest of Valker!

Who doesn't know the horror name of the Ombudsman? The big guys in the council hall will be terrified when they meet him, let alone a small security patrolman?

Yas no longer wants to know why Valk is being targeted by the Inspectorate!

All he wanted to know now was if it had anything to do with Alain!

Because it's all too coincidental. Anyone can be cranky!

Coincidentally, the forefoot Valker arrested Alain and imprisoned him. The Hind Foot Inspectorate got into trouble with Valker, who would believe you if you say the two have nothing to do with each other? Not to mention how Alan mysteriously killed Moltke!

The more he thought about it, the more convinced Yas became that Alain must have something to do with the Ombudsman!

Maybe Alain is one of the agents in the Inspectorate!

Xia Lan was not surprised by the result in front of her, but she didn't expect things to progress so quickly, and it took only one day to completely settle down, and it seems that Nina's little friend really has a deep background.

Joanna and Nina were notified by the Sheriff's Department early. When Xia Lan left the prison, the mother and daughter had been waiting for a long time, and they had mixed feelings when they reunited.

On the way back, Nina held Xia Lan's hand and refused to let go, as if she was afraid that Uncle Ugly would leave her side again, and she wore a white dress from the last time she watched the juggling troupe's performance. The cute little face is full of happy smiles, and there seems to be endless joy in his mouth, sometimes bouncing and pulling him to patronize the interesting things he encounters along the way, with an innocent appearance.

Joanna silently followed the two of them, her haggard and pale face regained its former look, but if you look closely, you can still find the depression between her eyebrows, the original object of her worries is Valk, but now it has changed to Alango who has been with her for two years!

She is a smart woman, from hearing that Valker has absconded in fear of crime in the early morning, and then contacting Nina to reveal the secret that Alain has a long-term countermeasure to Valker, and Alain, who is secretly handling this matter, can not be seen in a normal light.

She knew that everything Alango did was for the sake of their mother and daughter, but since her husband's death, she had been insecure in her heart, and she was initially distrustful of everyone except her young daughter, even Alango. Although Alango has proven himself reliable over time, now that something like this has happened, Joanna will inevitably become suspicious of him again.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted. It will take root inhibitibly.

Joanna wants a complete showdown with Alango, but she never has the courage because she is afraid, afraid that it will affect the harmonious relationship between them, and if Alango leaves because of this, how will she face Nina?

Maybe there's always a chance that time will be ripe.

She thought to herself. Some helpless self-comfort.

……

……

People are forgetful, and things about Walker have been boiling for a while, the city has returned to its former normality, and Joanna's business has gradually recovered without Walker's constraints, and busyness is inevitable, and sometimes he rarely goes home at dinner time.

Nina no longer complains about this, since she learned that Uncle Ugly is not mute, she likes to whisper to Uncle Ugly when her mother is away. The only thing that annoyed her was that Bennett had become more and more arrogant lately, and the other day he openly announced that Nina was his fiancée when he was in the school. As a result, there was a commotion among the children in the class, and Nina was so embarrassed that she couldn't raise her head, so that she had to complain in front of Xia Lan every time, if it wasn't for the ugly uncle who explained what he said about marrying Bennett, how could she hide when she saw Bennett.

Xia Lan could only laugh at this, if she didn't promise these words, how could she mobilize the enthusiasm of the other party in the first place? Agreements between children are often difficult to take seriously, and are accompanied by age and social and environmental influences. Many things will end in the end, not to mention that Nina can marry Bennet in the future. Xia Lan is definitely happy to see it.

Unless Nina is a strong woman like Sally Ster, the Valkyrie of the Kingdom of Adriatic, the best ending is to marry a powerful person who can protect her for a peaceful life.

His time is running out, he can't protect this lovely little girl for the rest of his life, as an elder, he naturally hopes that she can marry a good family worthy of trust in the future.

was shocked that once upon a time he was cold-blooded and ruthless, he actually learned to love children.

Who am I?

Am I still me?

Every late night. He would ask himself such a question.

In the past, he only had results in his eyes, and for this he killed many people and used many people, without regret or guilt. Because he thinks his choice is right, if someone thinks it is wrong, he will not listen, he will only kill the other person.

Stubborn, cold, numb.

It's like an empty shell without a soul.

Even so, he never changed.

He doesn't want to change because he can't change anymore.

When Winnie died in his arms, his heart once swelled.

At that time, he doubted for the first time whether he was wrong, but in a moment he denied it.

He wasn't wrong, it was the world that was wrong.

However, when "he" broke through the confinement and fell asleep with a heavy blow to consciousness, from then on, he knew that his persistence had long been full of holes.

To this day, he is still confused, is his choice wrong?

One day, Joanna and Guy go to the farmer's market to collect goods, leaving Charan alone at the store.

As a result, he met someone, an acquaintance who had once had a skin-to-skin relationship.

Burgundy hair tied into a ponytail, a dark purple leather armor skirt wrapping a delicate figure, healthy wheat-colored skin, full of wild and hot appearance, but showing a charming taste when you raise your hands and feet.

Just like the first time I saw you.

She seemed to be wandering leisurely with special interest, and when she accidentally caught a glimpse of Xia Lan in the shop, her eyebrows suddenly turned up.

"Your eyes are a lot like a friend of mine."

Seeing Xia Lan, her first sentence is easy to make people think about it, especially with her bewitching and charming smile, few men can resist this temptation.

But Xia Lan was as indifferent as wood, he didn't speak, just looked at her calmly.

"It's a pity I haven't heard from him for three years, maybe he's dead."

She looked at Xia Lan for a moment, then walked around the shop casually.

"In my understanding, he is a man who will not give up to achieve his goal, cold, ruthless, mysterious, strange is that such a man is liked by many women, don't you say strange?"

She said to herself.

"Emotionally speaking, he is not the type of man I like, but I am willing to take risks with such a man and have sex with him...... Do you want to know why? ”

She turned to look at him and smiled.

Xia Lan shook her head, and she said, "It's simple, because he's the man I deserve to identify with." ”

She came to the counter and stared into Xia Lan's eyes.

"It's a pity that the man is dead."

With that, she smiled and waved her hand and left the counter and walked out of the store.

"Sorry, I'm bored and talked some nonsense with you."

"Big sister! Why are you playing missing again?! We're ready to go! ”

At this time, a woman's voice was heard in the distance.

"I'll come right over."

Outside the door of the store, she said loudly after following the prestige, and before leaving, she turned her head and took one last look at Xia Lan in the shop.

"Big sister, who were you talking to just now?"

"A familiar acquaintance."

"Acquaintance?!"

"As a result, I realized that I had misidentified the wrong person."

"Haha-" (To be continued.) )
