Section 173 Watching the Sea of Fire
(6.12 2nd Update)
Tidying up the wagons parked in the campfire, the smoke cleared, but the footsteps of dawn were dragged.
"Thank you very much for your assistance, this is a labor fee prepared for you, please be sure to accept it."
The list drawn up by the non-commissioned officer, which clearly recorded the distribution of property, was 500,000 yuan per box, and six boxes were fully filled.
The depressed old man on the side was probably jealous of the accumulation of money on duty, and reform was imminent.
"What do you plan to do with that bandit leader?"
I interrupted the somewhat dreary atmosphere, and the old man paused his irritated state of mind.
"The imprisonment of the old man is already the greatest sympathy, what does the Count suggest?"
The encounter of being crushed clean and letting the tiger return to the mountain has been staged many times.
I picked up the stalk that burned to ashes on the ground, and it was gently broken.
"There is no reason to continue to wander in the dark crisis, waiting for him to rise, it will cause more large-scale trouble."
The vague suggestion awakened the old man's slumbering sense of smell, which was familiar with blood, and glanced at me quietly.
"The Earl means to put him"
The old man vividly imitated the two-faced personality of the executioner and the gangster, and compared his slender arms to the neck.
"Then it depends on the understanding of the sir, as for me, I am just providing you with some references, and the decision is still in the court that you can still control."
The old man removed the low brim of his hat, revealing a smooth scalp with clear scars.
"I very much want to belittle your hypocritical structure, but I also very much agree with your idea, I can't stay in this area anymore, and after dealing with the tedious things, I will flee this lonely city."
The old man's treacherous smile was full of a lot of helplessness, and the emotion of leaving his hometown was suppressed.
"Young Master, it's time to leave. I am already satisfied with the huge amount of money I have extorted, and I thank you very much for your sponsorship. ”
"Mr. Siqi, you seem to know the whereabouts of the Count's kidnapping, but we are not aware of your tracking, can you tell me how to find it?"
The old man was very curious about Siqi's ability to explore, just like finding a buried treasure at a glance in a barren desert.
"It's probably the sense of smell, the unique smell emitted by the young master is so attractive."
"Huh?"
The old man froze in place, ignoring the farewell ceremony, and settled in the trap of charm.
On the carriage, the tired Xiao Yi and Shuang Ye were already asleep, it was indeed a hard trip, but it had just begun.
"Now, what clues did I leave to find them?"
"Young Master doesn't want to believe in that wonderful set of reasons? Prove your unique charm! ”
Si Qi covered his mouth, holding back the breath that was about to flow, so as not to laugh out loud.
"No, I don't want to fall into your snack, and you really didn't follow me."
I recalled the scene when we parted ways, and Siqi had already driven away in the carriage.
"In the inn where I live, there is a refugee who is very unruly, dressed in shabby clothes but squandering money, such a special person always attracts enough attention."
"Oh? But what does that mean, it can only prove that I once appeared. Speaking of which, this hat, it's time to disassemble. ”
Pull the thin line on the edge of the hat and follow the stripes, and then it will be completely untied.
"The encounter with the young master is more swift, and the only explanation is that you got lost or were involved in a kidnapping, so I turned back, and according to the testimony of the eyewitnesses, they explained what happened."
"Confession, always chilling feeling, how do you abuse innocent passers-by?"
At the crossroads, Si Qi pointed to passers-by who were hanging from the eaves, and the crowd of onlookers was hoarded on the ground.
"It's the price of being disrespectful, I would have liked to be more amiable, but he prefers to be provocative."
"Hmph, retaliatory sanctions, it's really hard to compliment."
Sure enough, neatly folded letters appeared in the middle layer of the leather hat, which were shaken and then scattered.
"Luxurious paper, very delicate, what is this?"
"The windfall was the stolen object from the sick fugitive, which he said was the lost property of a nobleman, but it sounded absurd."
Dear Mr. Conneid,
As you have commanded, I have expelled all the rich merchants and seized their belongings, and I beg you to tell General Vic that everything is under control of the affairs of the government, and that I am monitoring the Princess's every move, and that they are kept in the dark.
In addition, the undercover agent lurking next to General Olise has been cleared, and a trusted person needs to be re-dispatched, so if you don't have an opinion, I'll be good at advocating.
Tony Scala
The content of the letter, which is reflected in the eyeballs, seems to be wonderful.
"Looks like your friend is still alive and well, and still has a lot of power."
"He's a cunning old fox, it's a habit to blow up, and the lies told by Vic are just a trick to cover the sky. It's just that this letter is very philosophical. ”
Si Qi stared at the content that was about to melt, and the jumping words reassembled the hidden truth.
"Indeed, although I have not met General Olis, judging from pure word-of-mouth, the princess will be more intelligent and able to conceal some subtle changes, which is more like a deliberate omission of the protagonist, at least the princess's letter of appointment has been read out."
"So that's the case, then everything becomes logical, the princess is laying a larger trap, and we are only the prey of it, if there is a difference, we may be a little more sensitive."
Si Qi sorted out his thinking, which is almost the current reality, but it is easier to create miracles by surviving in the cracks.
"It looks like a fierce battle is about to break out, but hopefully it won't be a one-sided overturn, at least it will leave us room for relaxation. However, at this time, it can still spread and infiltrate, and the power of the Black Clothes Society should not be underestimated. ”
The horses marching forward, arriving at their designated destination, behind the number 68, is the extravagant building, and in the shadows it is a wonderful bad feeling.
Si Qi jumped out of the carriage and admired the grand scale, his lips slightly grinning in admiration of the man-made miracle in front of him.
The crisp knock on the door seemed to be just an empty house with bright lights.
"No one answered, the door was probably hidden!"
Si Qi nudged the wooden door, verifying his guess, and sure enough, opened the arms of light.
"Would you like to go in and have a look? It's like a blatant burglar who gets permission to relocate. ”
"No, the design of the trap will put us in an embarrassing predicament, if we want to choose sacrifice, then we can only burn this place, after all, it will end sooner or later."
Siqi didn't take my advice, and lit a torch, shaking with overflowing light.
"Honorable guest, you are a little savage! It's better to drink a cup of tea in advance to suppress the shock. ”
From inside the room, a delicate voice came from a woman's voice, and it was familiar.
"Young master, it seems to be your old acquaintance!"
"Eh, although some are reluctant to accept it, it is also a fact, but she suddenly appeared on the front line of the battlefield, and she is really a daring woman!"
"Brother Bell, who is it?"
Shuangye and Xiao Yi, who woke up, also stood in front of the door, curious about the exquisite world in the house.
"Are you going to burn it? Beautiful fireworks are sure to bloom! ”
Si Qi deliberately teased the overly gentle rhythm, challenging the patience trapped in the house.
"Whatever, if you can bear the consequences and get away with it."
Si Qi still decided to extinguish the torch and walked towards the light with Shuangye in his arms, and Xiao Yi also pulled me and followed the footsteps.
The hall is large, and the ornate decoration is difficult to describe, whether it is the glazed lamps or the gold-plated walls, it is the envy of the paragon of luxury.
"The elegance of Her Royal Highness is always difficult to judge and appreciate."
The swivelling sofa, delicately controlling the gap, was a familiar face, running towards me, a little out of shape.
"It's so cute!"
Missing the distance, the princess held Shuangye in her arms, rubbing her tender cheeks, unwilling to let go.
"Hehe, in public, it is still an important step to retain certain manners, otherwise it is easy to lose authority."
The princess did not stop her reckless behavior, but looked at me with a grin.
"Is there some jealousy when you fall out of favor? It's okay, I'm the only one here, and I don't have an entourage with me. ”
If the princess's first sentence is still joking, the second half of the sentence is creating earth-shattering damage, and she does not carry her subordinates, which seems to be a bit outrageous.
Shuangye enjoyed the warm embrace very much, probably looking for the missing maternal love, and suddenly felt that the awkward picture became harmonious.
"Are you waiting for us here?"
"No, I was just passing by here, curious about the secrets, so I stopped by and rested."
"Young master, never underestimate a seemingly stupid woman, she may cause you more harm."
Si Qi continued to adjust the atmosphere, but it did not affect the princess.
The door that was suddenly closed was like a drag created by a strong wind, and it was difficult to shake.
Outside the window, a bright torch was also lit.
"The Count doesn't seem to have been able to clear the pitch-black tracker behind him! How can I compensate for the crisis that it brought to me? ”
The princess looked at it, but she was very calm.
"Then enjoy the bathing of the sea of fire together, maybe you can have a good experience!" (To be continued.) )
