"Your face is ugly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

In the night, two dark shadows emerged from the spired houses near a certain council hall, and then passed behind the two patrol guards, and stopped silently on the rooftops of the uneven civilian street: "And ...... Aren't we going to keep listening? ”

"There's no need for it."

Kima let out a long breath: "It's ...... Enough is enough. ”

"I thought you were afraid of being found out." Duan Qing touched his nose: "Or ...... We can't beat them? ”

"Boris is the squad leader of the City Guard, and he has some strength." Kima shook her head: "As for the other ...... Hmph, we can be sure that he is just an ordinary nobleman. ”

"Ordinary nobles...... Duan Qing also sighed, and then turned his head abruptly: "Wait, nobles?"

"Listening to the conversation just now, shouldn't he be the president's subordinate?"

The night wind blew Kima's top hat, and he reached out again to take it off, then raised his head and looked at the clear night sky that belonged to Tania: "This...... This brings us to the second issue I mentioned earlier. ”

"You're talking about...... Divisions within the aristocracy? ”

"There will be some divisions within each force."

Kima said in a low voice, "Even the shadows with clear and strict rules will occasionally make some different sounds, not to mention those nobles who think very highly of themselves."

"In a way, human beings are like that." He sighed and said, "That's why there was negotiation and compromise."

“…… I don't see it, but you're still a philosopher. ”

"What is a philosopher?"

“…… Nothing, you continue. ”

“…… In short, there were many different voices within the entire aristocracy during the time of the outbreak of the war, and their own reasons, as well as their private thoughts, were also strange. Kima retracted his gaze at Duan Qing, and then continued the previous topic: "Since the earliest Farr Cold, this kind of similar disagreement has begun to appear."

"Christine's help gave some of these nobles the illusion that the principality could defeat the empire." He sneered, "So...... They wanted to use this opportunity to restore the majesty of the nobility, and several radicals appeared in the nobility's group, and Tasker was one of them. ”

"As a result, we messed it up?" Duan Qing also laughed: "With all due respect, that invasion incident ...... We didn't do anything. ”

"Whoever did that, losing the map of the city's defenses really disrupted their rhythm." Kima shook her head and said, "Coupled with the attack on the Carson family later, the arrogance of these people was temporarily suppressed, and now it seems that ...... The fireworks that bloomed in this instant didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to burn. ”

"It's because ...... Fars Fortress Thing? ”

"The Empire's offensive is still unstoppable after all." Kima lowered his head: "Not only within the aristocracy, but even the entire council, including the commoners, has entered the most demoralized state, and the injury and assassination of the speaker have also dealt a great blow to many people in the know, and those who can choose to continue to resist in such a situation, except for Tasker and others who have been gritting their teeth and persevering, the rest are you adventurers."

"From a neutral point of view...... You're doing a great job. He continued: "It's a pity...... Not everyone can use the process as a criterion for evaluation, and they only have those Imperial soldiers who are about to come to the city again, and a principality that is already in the twilight of the mountains. ”

"I'm not going to blame them for anything." Listening to the other party's extremely steady words, Duan Qing also replied with a meaningless expression: "If it were me, I would also be very panicked, not to mention those nobles who have not experienced any battle scenes......

"Among the civilians, there are still a minority of those who are inclined to surrender." Kima's tone was as calm as ever: "Only other nobles...... In order to preserve the continuation of the family, they tend to look for a final way out. ”

"Ha, it's very much in line with their original style." Duan Qing sneered: "Let me guess...... Did Forts agree? ”

"No, he didn't agree."

Kima turned her head again: "At least for now...... The old fellow hadn't said anything about the list sent by the Imperials. ”

"List?" Duan Qing asked, "What is that?"

"Of course, it's the list of people the Empire wants us to hand over."

Glancing at the other party in some surprise, Kima explained a little casually, "Maybe the news hasn't spread yet, but ...... You'll find out eventually. ”

"The Imperials intend to give the council a last chance." He whispered: "In addition to some unreasonable conditions such as indemnity, they took out a list signed by the emperor himself, which is said to be ...... The above is the culprit responsible for the war. ”

"Such a curious request?" Duan Qing asked in surprise, "There is such a coincidental list?" Why should we trust them? ”

"Just by the army that is about to rush to the city."

Kima casually fiddled with the top hat in her hand: "And Simon who personally concocted the list."

"Simon? Who is this guy? ”

"The current deputy minister of the Ministry of People's Livelihood of the empire is still in charge of water conservancy." Speaking of this, Kima showed a wry smile: "Hey, what a sarcasm......"

"So you nobles ......" Listening to the other party's boundless words, Duan Qing's gaze moved away from the other party's bitter face, and he decided to give up the pursuit of this issue: "You have already begun to think about how to compromise?"

"Fortson hasn't left yet, because it's still on Horsman's desk." Kima replied in a low voice: "But judging from the leaked information, this list involves a lot of people, some of whom are high-ranking officials of the principality, and some of whom are ...... Even we haven't heard of it. ”

"We don't know either...... What is the purpose of the Empire wanting these people. Speaking of this, his face gradually became serious: "Even the connection between this list and this war...... It's all a question we need to think about. ”

“…… What about the attitude of the president? Duan Qing asked in a low voice, "What does he mean by suddenly taking over power?"

"He's been busy lately." To Duan Qing's surprise, a strange smile appeared on Kima's face: "Although no one has been able to guess his changes and purpose since this adult reappeared, judging by his apparent behavior...... He's still busy negotiating in the city. ”

"What, is he still negotiating with various forces?" Duan Qing asked strangely.

"It's not so much negotiation as exhortation." Kima replied, "Hard and soft...... He wanted to unite all the forces in Tania City in the shortest possible time. ”

"Like we just saw?" Duan Qing suddenly came to his senses: "That ...... named Banes"

"Yes, but there's a ...... in this Bigger questions. ”

Kima looked at each other expressionlessly: "Barnes...... Originally a member of the aristocratic faction. ”

"Fortson's right-hand man."

***********************************

In the middle of the night, the city of Tania is once again quiet due to the disappearance of passers-by, and the flourishing starlight clearly visible in the night sky seems to have any other effect on the unlit parts of the city. Walking in such a strange and silent environment is not too good for anyone, but for Duan Qing at this time, it is not something worth noting-from time to time dodging the guards who are still patrolling around, he pinched his chin, his brow furrowed, as if thinking about some headache, and then suddenly stopped at the corner of a certain alley.

"Yo, what a coincidence." On the opposite side of the alley, another black figure raised his hands and slowly walked out of the shadows: "It's been a long time, Your Excellency Mo Shang Qingshan."

“…… Learns how much people talk and learns, right? Your Excellency......" Duan Qing tilted his eyes: "Also, what are you doing here?"

"Come up and relax." Floating Dream replied lightly: "By the way, I will inspect and inspect the defense work of the principality."

"Wizzard hasn't had anything to do lately, has he?" So Duan Qing said sarcastically: "You actually came here to care about the safety of the principality?" Beware of being caught as a spy......"

"We're a regular group of adventurers, how can we be as wanted as you are?" The scholar in black shook his head meaninglessly: "What's more, there are still some cooperation ...... between us and the principality"

"Okay, you win this one." Enduring the pain of being exposed, Duan Qing gritted his teeth and changed the angle of attack: "But...... Launched so early, shouldn't it be the finals that were eliminated? ”

"We've only had one person in the individual competition, and now we're done." Floating Dream Raider spread his hands and responded: "You didn't even go to see it, which is beyond the expectations of many of us."

"......Shh

So Duan Qing gritted his teeth again: "Be careful that Jian Beidong suddenly jumps out, and I will find you again to settle the account......"

"As the fourth-ranked guild in the league, we are not afraid of any kind of challenge." The black-clothed scholar replied with a smile, "In comparison...... We're still a little more concerned about the pattern here. ”

"A few days later...... What will become here? He looked up at the sky, but a smile escaped from the corner of his mouth: "We are also very ......."

Whew――

Silent air flowed past him, and his voice suddenly stopped, replaced by a snow-bright dagger that appeared around his neck: "...... Mr. ”

"I think it's cool, but forget it." Duan Qing sighed and raised his hand: "We don't have any holiday with them......

Swish.

The bright reflection disappeared in an instant, and the air condensed around it began to flow again, and then as another figure in the shadows gradually appeared, tucked into the white cuffs of the maid's outfit, she calmly crossed the other party's body, and then turned to the scholar's body, saluted quite respectfully, and then retreated in the direction of Duan Qing again. Subconsciously touched his neck, which was still cold, and his dream-stealing gaze slowly moved with the woman's departing figure, and finally stayed in the place where she was hidden behind Duan Qing for a long time before he muttered: "The rumors are really true......"

"Stop, stop." Duan Qing made a pause gesture: "No matter what you're thinking in your head now, stop me, it's all an illusion, it's useless......"

"Mr. Mo Shang Qingshan, that young lady just now ......" Floating Dream asked hesitantly, "Is it a codeword?"

"Why are you so curious?" Duan Qing showed an impatient expression: "It's a coincidence in the middle of the night, and another person appears, you have to ask about national affairs, and you have to ask about any woman who comes over, such a curious person...... Don't blame me for not warning you, even if you don't get captured by the city guards, you have to be careful of what else happens. ”

"Can I think you're acquiescing in your reaction...... Not. ”

Hmmm――

The pitch-black sword was like lightning in the night, and it appeared in front of the scholar's eyes in an instant, suffocating back his words that he wanted to continue to mess around, and at the same time, he also frightened his originally chic backhand upright movement so much that he leaned back and almost fell to the ground. Looking at the back of the short sword, Duan Qing's eyes became no longer friendly, and the Floating Dream hurriedly stood up with both hands, and then said with a dry smile while stepping back: "Okay, okay, I understand, I won't ask anymore...... You go on, you go on. ”

He glanced here a few more times, then let out a few more dry laughs, and finally retreated to the back of the alley, turned around and disappeared in front of Duan Qing's eyes. The latter waited quietly for a while, and after finally making sure that the other party had indeed left, he withdrew his black short sword and let out a low sigh: "Vizad...... Alas, all came to Tania, and it seemed destined for a big news. ”

"Why is the gentleman here? Did you really not go to the game? ”

"Uh...... Don't ask, I don't know, I've never been. ”

Covering his face, Duan Qing replied with a sad face: "Anyway, it's better than being idle."

"Where did the gentleman go? Did you find anything? ”

"I went to the City Guard's office...... Uh, the command post. Turning around and walking in the other direction in the alley, Duan Qingtou said without looking back: "I went to Hank's first to inquire, and I made sure that the wanted orders were all initiated by the city guards, and it just so happened that they were also regarded as hostile people, so I took their share to investigate together."

"What is the result, sir?"

"Met an acquaintance, eavesdropped on a conversation, and ...... And came back. Duan Qing, who was walking in front, spread his hands: "According to Kima's meaning, the current Tania City is decided by an incomprehensible old man from Hossman, and there are many nobles who have already submitted to him, and they are about to do a big job......"

"Many underground forces, including Hank, have become sad now, of course...... So do we. There was a sense of helplessness in his words: "After all, we are all the biggest suspects in collaborating with the enemy now."

"Miss Liuzhen...... I think so. The secret whisper Ning Lan replied in a low voice: "Ning Lan remembers that she once speculated...... Hossman is gathering all the people he can trust, and at the same time wants to keep all the instability out of the city, I don't know why, but it's ......"

"It doesn't seem like the results are much off."

"Hey, something suddenly comes to mind." Duan Qing suddenly stopped: "Shouldn't you be watching the finals at the alliance headquarters?" How did you get time to go online? ”

"Ning Lan doesn't have much chance to go out, so I'm going to watch it online."

The maid player smiled, and at the same time tilted her head obediently: "And...... Regarding what happened in the finals, Ning Lanke knew everything. ”

"Now the ...... that is going on It's probably Miss Snow Spirit's Phantom Ice competition. ”
