Chapter Seventy-Two: Anson's Past
Sailun, who had been thinking about things, didn't notice Anson at all, and he also didn't notice Zhao Xue who ran towards Anson.
As the lord of the city, Anson has a lot of things to do every day. As the time for the beast attack approached, Anson woke up early in the morning to inspect the guards and prepare to address the problems and loopholes he found.
It was impossible to determine exactly what day the beast attacked, and there was simply not enough manpower to send out to investigate, but the guards had to be done every day. This is related to the lives and future lives of the people in the city, and Anson does not dare to relax at all.
"The work of the guards must be done well, they must always be vigilant, and they have too many responsibilities on them. Failure to do a good job is a capital offense!"
Ansen said these words strictly, and his beard curled up one after another, which completely destroyed this strict atmosphere. The guards and city guards did not speak, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.
"Poof, just kidding. Puff hahaha......"
Immediately, Anson covered his mouth with his fingertips, his whole body shook, and exaggerated laughter came out.
The guards and city guards still didn't smile, but they were so uncomfortable that their faces turned red.
Anson laughed enough and continued to walk, leaving behind the guards and city guards who burst into laughter.
City Guard: "It's so funny, it really suffocated me just now." β
Guard: "Yes, the image of the city lord is really not flattering. Just now we had to hold back a smile and pretend to have a stern expression, but it was really hard. β
Castle Guard: "That's right. The lord of the castle will talk about Yan sΓΉ every time, but in the end, it will be like this. In this way, we are not nervous, but we can clearly remember what the lord of the castle asked. β
Guard: "Personality dictates. Speaking of which, the lord of the castle is also a poor man. β
Castle Guard: "What do you say?"
Guard: "The Lord of the City has been very depressed since he was assigned to the current Oran. But for everyone's sake, I have to use this and that behavior every time to make everyone not nervous and happy. β
Castle Guard: "How come?
Guard: "yes." Hey, the power of the lord of the castle is obvious to all. β
The guard didn't speak, but nodded vigorously.
Guard: "Actually, with the ability of the city lord, it is very easy to become a big official, or obtain a knighthood, and divide the territory. It's just that now the kingdom of Odin is in chaos, and the city lord doesn't want to get involved, so he was ostracized by everyone, so he was thrown to Orlan to take over the mess. In fact, the main purpose is to make it impossible for the city lord to go back. Remember Oran's name?"
The guards were silent, not wanting to say anything.
Guard: "Orlan was already in jeopardy. It was only after the city lord came that he barely managed to hold up the situation, so that Orlan was in a slightly better situation now. It is precisely because of this ability that those guys in the capital are afraid and squeeze out the city lord. β
Castle Guard: "Lord is a good man, but it's a pity that he is a poor man. β
Where have you heard this?
Guard: "Yes, poor man......"
There is another sentence that the guards and city guards know well, but they don't say it: in that place, the bad guys can get along.
Zhao Xue, who was passing by, couldn't understand what the two were saying at all, and stared at them curiously. But immediately continued to run towards Anson, don't worry about what you don't understand.
"Uncle Squint, Xiaoxue has come to play with you. β
Running to Anson's side, Zhao Xue shouted vividly.
"Ouch, it's Shirley. Hello, are you alone?"
Although Anson was a little surprised to see Zhao Xue appear, he was also very happy to see Zhao Xue in his busyness.
"I came out with my daddy. β
After saying that, he looked left and right, but he didn't see Ceren.
"Huh, Daddy is gone. β
He tilted his head in confusion.
Looking at Zhao Xue's cute appearance, Anson smiled, he didn't know about Sailun yet, he just thought Zhao Xue was naughty.
"Shirley's dad isn't around, it's not a good kid to run around. β
Zhao Xue's arrival brought a rare rest, so Anson decided to tease Zhao Xue.
"Well, Dad also said that no adults are running around, and they are not good children. β
Zhao Xue also bit her fingers in distress, but then laughed again.
"It's not a mess now. Dad said that if there is a family with him, he is not running around. Because there is an uncle with squinting eyes, Xiaoxue is not running around. β
Standing up and straightening her small body, Zhao Xue grinned.
Although he knew that Zhao Xue might not understand the meaning of "family", Anson's heart still felt warm.
"Shirley, do you know what a 'family member' is?"
"Well, the person you like is the family. Dad said that in the end, the person you like will become the family member. β
The answer that seemed to be understood made Anson smile even more.
After playing for a while, Anson knew that his break was over. With Zhao Xue by his side for a while, Anson relaxed a lot and regained his vitality.
"Shirley, uncle, I'm very busy, so I can only play here with you today. So, I'll find someone to send you back, and when I have time, my uncle will play with you again. β
Even if you are reluctant, you have to say goodbye to Zhao Xue, after all, your work is not sloppy.
"Oh, okay. β
A little lost, Zhao Xue still knew that she should leave at this time.
called a guard and solemnly instructed him to take Zhao Xue back. And he continues to move on to the next goal.
Looking at the small figure of Zhao Xue leaving, Anson smiled completely relaxed for the first time since he came to Oran. Although I am very reluctant to come to Oran, I must do a good job when I come. I've been depressed for a long time, but recently I've started to relax and enjoy this life. If it was very resistant at first, but now that I have figured it out, I am lucky to be in Γ land.
The capital's crawling and rolling is far from being as easy as outsiders see. There are too many things to carry, too many things to put down. Gain a lot, lose more, and in the end I still don't know if it's worth it.
Now I prefer to leave the dark world and come here, even if it's just for the fate of seeing you.
Let go of the burden that has been suppressed, turn around in style, and meet the next days with more hope.
Guard: "Hey, have you noticed that the temperament of the city lord has changed?"
Castle Guard: "Yes, I think, I can't tell you how I feel, but I just think, Lord Castle, it's become brighter." β
Zhao Xue left Anson, with only an unfamiliar guard by his side. Seren walked headlessly, unaware of his surroundings.
"It's a great opportunity! I've been waiting for so long, and I've finally arrived. Look at me calling a bunch of brothers to act, I must ask that bastard to apologize to me today!"
As for the guards sent by the city lord and the city lord just now, the public's face did not pay attention to it. Not to mention that his strength is not weak, and he doesn't really plan to do anything with children, if the city lord is the one, he shouldn't be punished too severely.
The public face muttered to himself and left, the original hiding position, full of vicissitudes of life, some decadent middle-aged people stood here, and coldly glanced at the direction where the public face left.
(Wow, there was a problem at the beginning of the previous chapter, and the segmentation was gone...... Fortunately, the editor found out and reminded me, otherwise I really wouldn't know. Thanks again to the editor greatly~)
