It is an ancient and prosperous city, it is much older than the history of the Blue Moon Empire, long before the Zinge Dynasty, there was already a fairly prosperous city here, although the Blue Frontier is in turmoil, but it has not been baptized by war, so it has been able to preserve many monuments. Since it was designated as the capital of the Blue Moon Empire, this city has more than tripled on the original basis after three hundred years of construction of the empire, forming a large city with a radius of fifty miles, and thus becoming one of the most prosperous cities in the Blue Frontier.
It was nearly dusk when Rick and his party entered the city through the towering gates of Guò Bolt. Rick was desperate to find a bed and get some rest, he had almost forgotten what it was like. However, dreams are often unrealistic, and when a butler-like man with a group of samurai stops in front of them, Rick lifts the curtain and asks, "What do you want to do?" ”
The housekeeper-looking person was kind and polite, and asked with a salute: "Is it the Autumn Water Troupe?" Are you in the car? ”
"What's your little family?" Rick was angry, he thought that this group of people were looking for trouble, and said angrily, "I want to go to the theater to watch a play, don't block me from resting." ”
The housekeeper-like person was not angry, but still smiled and asked, "Aren't you a troupe?" How is it possible, you have so many carriages, so many women. ”
Farri was still patient, poked her head out of the carriage and said, "This gentleman, you have recognized the wrong person, we are the remnants of the Peimeng family, and this is the young master Xia Hua of our family." ”
The butler-looking person seemed to be no stranger to the Permon family, and he looked at Rick carefully when he heard this. Then he bowed and said, "I'm sorry, it looks like I recognized the wrong person." ”
"It's okay." Farri laughed. After that, beckoned Rick to get in the car. The carriage moved forward again.
The butler-like man watched their carriage drift away, and suddenly muttered, "I didn't think he was still alive." ”
He was thinking about something, when a warrior beside him suddenly shouted: "Second steward, here, people are here, I see the colorful bird flag of the Qiushui Circus." ”
Farley directed the carriage out of Queen's Road, the busiest of Boint, and onto another wide street, at the end of the street. There are contiguous houses, and every distance you walk is a tall portal, all of which are Zhumen courtyards, carved beams and painted buildings. It can be seen that if this is not a place where dignitaries live, it is also a place where wealthy businessmen and tycoons live. The Permon family's mansion is located in this series of houses.
When Rick and the others' carriage stopped in front of a tall gate building with two mighty and tall stone unicorns on both sides of the gate. Jean Xin got out of the car first with Farley's support. Rick and the girls got out of the car. Before Farri could open the door, the door suddenly opened, and out of it hurried out a group of maids, led by a woman in her thirties, all of whom knelt respectfully when they saw Kotoshin. The woman said, "Madam, you are finally back!" ”
Qin Xin was quite surprised, she didn't expect the maid here to be there, so she couldn't help but say excitedly: "Sister-in-law, why are you still there?" I thought you were all gone. ”
The fisherwoman's tears rolled down her eyes and said, "Madame--let's not leave." We look forward to your return every day. ”
"You know I'm not dead?"
The fisherman's wife cried: "We all believe that Madame has the blessing of the gods, and she will turn evil into good fortune." ”
Qin Xin was so excited to see her. I know that I can't ask anything for a while, but fortunately, she has come back, and when her relationship is stable, she can ask slowly. She didn't tell the servants that Rick was Xia Hua? Permon, but as soon as the servants saw Rick, they saluted and shouted, "Hello, young master." This is equivalent to directly affirming Rick's identity, which makes Rick stunned. He was originally afraid that others would find out his identity, but now it seems that he doesn't need to, even these subordinates who have been in frequent contact with Xia Hua regard him as Xia Hua, and others naturally think that he is Xia Hua. However, he suddenly thought of a question, if someone found Xia Hua's body in Blue City, then he would definitely wear it. He hurriedly asked Farri quietly, and Farri shook her head, seemingly reluctant to explain to Rick, but finally explained: "The Pova dog thief killed the city lord and Young Master Xia Hua, and then set fire to all the houses. Even if someone showed the remains of Young Master Xia Hua, it would be impossible to recognize him. Rick was relieved.
Walking into the door, Rick felt the vastness of the entire mansion, he quietly counted, the main room alone is nearly a hundred, not counting the house where the servants live, there are three independent small buildings, two large gardens, and there is a small artificial lake in the garden in the front, and there is a curved water corridor on the artificial lake, which leads directly to the hall. On the right side of the artificial lake is a clump of green bamboos, surrounded by green bamboos is a wide martial arts training ground. At a cursory glance, the entire mansion can be said to have everything in the pavilions, which just corresponds to the ancient saying, the heavenly immortal mansion, the human emperor's house.
Rick led Chrissy, Gyokuro, and Ao Ling'er into the hall with Ginshin and Farry, while the rest of the people went to their own rooms under the guidance of their subordinates.
As the group entered the hall, Lyre and Rick were seated on the main seat, with the three daughters of Chrissy standing behind Rick and Farri standing behind Lyre. The servants stood on the opposite side, and the fisherwoman's wife was quite polite, and she called all the servants except the maid who went to assign the room.
Qin Xin took a closer look and asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, where are the guards of this mansion?" ”
The fisherman's sister-in-law said angrily: "Madam, you don't need to worry about them, as soon as those people with no conscience heard that something had happened to the city lord, they all said that the city lord had offended the big enemy, and they slipped away." Half a month ago, they wanted to come back again and asked me to scold them back. ”
"They know I'm alive?"
"It's not. The slave maid saw that they knew that Her Majesty the Queen was chasing the city lord as a duke, thinking that there was oil and water to be fished, so they were cheeky and wanted to come back. ”
"Posthumously crown the city lord as a duke?" Qin Xin stood up in surprise, she didn't expect the queen to bestow such a great favor on the Permon family. However, she quickly calmed down and asked, "Except for those guards, why didn't any of the rest of the people leave?" ”
The fisherman's sister-in-law said abruptly: "It was the slave maid who told their wife that they must still be alive, so they patiently stayed." Later, a butler came up to the Prime Minister's house, and he told the slaves and maids that Farri was still alive, and the life and death of the lady were unknown, and the slaves and maids had a glimmer of hope. Such a large mansion couldn't be cleaned by no one, so everyone stayed. A few days later, an official came to the Ministry of Officials, announcing that the city lord had been posthumously made a third-class duke, and specially changed the plaque, and instructed that the queen had offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins in the Mercenary Guild to find Madame, so that we should wait patiently. ”
"Thank you for your hard work." Jean's gratitude was palpable, and she instructed Farri to pay her subordinates, and half an hour passed. When Lyin turned his head, Rick was no longer in the hall. She asked Farley, who shook her head, and she didn't know where Rick had gone. Qin Xinfang was secretly angry, although she had multiple resentments towards the man she invited into the house as a last resort, she still reluctantly accepted him to pretend to be Xia Hua under the persuasion of Farley's "righteousness". However, on the way from Qingcheng to Bo Yingte, she had seen the absurdity of his behavior, so she was always worried that something would happen to him when she arrived at Bo Yingte. As she expected, not long after entering the house, he made a sudden steam, and it was just when he was appeasing his subordinates. Her anger at him had risen to the extreme.
Where did Rick go? Only he understands it in his heart. He led the three daughters of Chrissy, Yulu, and Ao Ling'er to be led by a subordinate, and at this moment he was heading straight to the mercenary guild in the east of the city.
Entering the door of the Mercenary Guild, he said to a clerk behind the counter, "I heard that you have a task here that no one has completed?" ”
The clerk didn't understand what he meant, and asked in surprise, "Which task are you referring to?" ”
Rick scratched the back of his head, he understood that he had pretended to go too far, there must be many tasks in the mercenary guild that no one could complete for a while, and of course the other party didn't understand when he spoke like this. So he had no choice but to point out: "I mean the task of finding the lady of the city lord of Fenghua City, I heard that there is a reward of 100,000 gold coins here. ”
"It's not just the mercenary guild that has a bounty, every guild organization has this bounty order." The clerk explained, "As long as anyone finds the city lord's wife, they can go to any guild and receive a bounty of 100,000 gold coins. ”
"That's good. I've found her, give me 100,000 gold coins! Rick grinned.
The clerk immediately sat up straight and asked, "Really?" Without waiting for Rick to reply, he added, "You wait." With that, he pulled his legs and ran through a small door behind the counter. After a while, a mercenary of about fifty years old came out of it, and it was obvious that the clerk was very respectful to him. He came out of the counter, walked up to Rick, looked at Rick and the three women behind him for a moment, and asked, "You said you found the Lord's wife?" Are you sure? ”
Rick nodded, and then said impatiently, "If you can't cash in those 100,000 gold coins, I'll go to another guild--"
The mercenary waved his hand to stop his words and said, "Don't worry, we just want to ask clearly." You said you found the city lord's wife, where is she? ”
"She's--" Rick suddenly stopped, he smiled a little, and changed his words: "If you are sincere, bring the gold coins, and we will pay the money with one hand." ”
The mercenary thought for a moment and nodded in agreement, but he told Rick to wait for a moment, and then instructed a clerk behind him to deliver the news to the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion. About half an hour later, a group of cavalry escorted a carriage to the mercenary guild at a gallop, and a big man with a red face shouted at the horse: "Where are the people?" Come out quickly, Lord Admiral has arrived. ”
