Chapter 168: Late Night Glowing Lake

Accompanied by their guides, the baron and Liu Lin drove the locomotive to the southeast. When the smoke and dust dispersed along the way, the city lord and the troops of White Horse City also left.

Only Ma Shuo and Wood were left at the entrance of the village, and the other residents of Hemlock Village opened the gate when they saw that the big man was gone, and quietly looked at Ma Shuo's figure without saying a word.

It's just that those eyes with curiosity and timidity made Ma Shuo's heart feel very twisted. It's like treating him like a juggling circus pet, and his whole body is constantly being scanned.

Wood, who was silent and silent, was also uncomfortable.

As a result, the originally plain eyes instantly became sharp. Holding the handle of the tiger's tooth knife and glancing around, the villagers immediately felt a chill hit them.

"Bang, bang!!" A series of gate closures sounded, and the entire village was instantly silent.

Ma Shuo looked up and looked at Wood, and both breathed a sigh of relief. The kind of eyes that are looked at like a monkey are really unpleasant from the heart!

Back in the courtyard, Marsh told Wood what he had seen in the baron's diary and picture book, 1510.

One person speaks carefully, and the other remembers carefully. Coupled with what Ma Shuo experienced in the first place, Wood felt that the wait of these days was worthwhile.

When the record was over, Wood immediately packed up and handed a note to Marsh: "Contact this address in the future, goodbye, boy!"

After speaking, he smiled and touched Ma Shuo's head, picked up the package, and stepped onto an off-road motorcycle with yellow and black striped paint at the door.

"Woo!" disappeared around the corner of the street.

Seeing Wood leaving, Ma Shuo lowered his head and opened the note and said, "Eagle City, West City, Furnace Ironsmith, Lady Wood." ”

Putting away the note, turning to lock the gate, Ma Shuo walked in the direction of the canyon again.

The rest of the time is not going anywhere, so stay near the swamp in peace.

Eagle City, late at night, on the shores of Lake Xiaguang.

Those who wander have long gone home to rest, and even the lovers who linger and frolic in a secluded place have long since chosen another warm and comfortable place to continue the eagerness of the sea and the mountains to do the fire.

The environment that had been noisy all day was quiet for a while.

A gentle breeze blows through the treetops, cascading ripples touching the shores of the lake. There are also three or two crickets whispering softly, all of which seem so clear and refreshing at this time.

Like the most beautiful serenade in the world, it is also like the winding and clear, plain and sweet mountain spring water. So that people's restless hearts are comforted in silence.

John Mauber was standing alone on the edge of the lake, silently staring at the surface of the water with no focus in his eyes. Grimm, the leader of the royal guard, stood like a statue guarding twenty meters away.

Neither disturb nor approach.

Too far away to protect in time, too close to easily affect the prince's thoughts, this distance is just right for him.

Prince John has been under a lot of pressure lately, and he needs to continue to learn how to handle government affairs, deal with ministers, and practice and strengthen his martial arts every day.

If that's all there is to it, it's easy for John.

Even with the addition of the wanted Ma Shuo, there is also the matter of monitoring Prince Danny's moves. But recently, for some reason, a strange fog in the Federation has attracted the attention of all parties.

It's not just the Parliament-like "Golden Alliance" of the Federation. Even the Maple Leaf Country sent an archbishop named Ram to participate in person.

What surprised him the most was that his dear brother, the second in line to the throne of North Thorn, the kind but indecisive Danny Mauber, was also involved in it.

Are the shops in the Quiet City gone?

Going out to experience and learning management in order to continue to compete with yourself for the throne, forgot?

Or do you have no love for your current wife and sister, and the "crazy princess" who is likely to be her younger brother and sister in the future?

Or are you tempted by low-grade and vulgar forms of entertainment?

Or are you discouraged and out of motivation?

Although he sighed in his heart for this half-behavior, he even looked down on what Danny was doing now.

Just because this is the only opponent I am now, but I don't deserve to be called an opponent!

If Danny really gave up completely. Then it is a solid and powerful step to truly sit on the throne.

It's just that for some reason, John has nothing but faint excitement and satisfaction in his heart. That is the excitement of victory, the satisfaction of defeating all those who stand in the way.

More of them were disappointed, and even a little lonely.

He didn't know why, but he just felt lost. Echoing in his chest and lingering in his mind, he became inexplicably irritable.

I wanted to talk to my wife, but looking at the intellectual and gentle face of the sleeping person next to me, in the end, I chose to come to Xiaguang Lake alone to stay quietly for a while.

Xue Hua taught his children, especially in the future, that it was not easier for him to become the son of a king of a country. As the favorite woman of the Great Prince of North Sanke, let her have a good rest.

At this moment, two royal guards walked briskly in the distance. Seeing this, Green frowned slightly, and quietly stepped forward to meet him.

It has been notified in advance, and unless it is of great importance, all official business will be dealt with tomorrow. Green knew his men very well, and they would never come to report unless it was a big problem that couldn't be solved.

"Boss!" said one of the men after striking his left breastplate with his right fist and saluting, "Two women have asked to see Your Highness, and they say that they know something about the fog. ”

"Huh?" Green frowned slightly, originally hearing that it was a woman asking to see, Green was about to refuse. But what about the fog?

Immediately nodded and said, "Let them wait, I'll report!"

Two guards saluted in return, one waited in place, and the other turned back to deliver the message.

Green slowly walked to the lake, about three meters away from John, and bowed slightly: "Your Highness, there are two women asking to see!"

Before Green could finish the second half of the sentence, John, who was suddenly disturbed by his good mood, interrupted directly without looking back: "Two women?

Green smiled slightly, "The guards said they knew something about the fog. ”

"Oh?" This sentence aroused John's interest, and he nodded slightly: "Okay, let them come over!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

Green saluted slightly, took two steps back and turned to leave.

After a while, two women dressed in ragged clothes walked slowly surrounded by six royal guards with guns.

Stopping four or five meters away from John, Green turned to look at the two panicked women, bowed slightly to John again and reported, "Your Highness, they have arrived!"

As soon as the words fell, one of the guards pushed the woman's back shoulder and pushed the person to a stagger: "When you see the eldest prince, kneel down and talk!"

The two who looked like mother and daughter trembled like chaff since they saw John, they were nervous, panicked, and confused. Hearing this, they supported each other and knelt down.

John neither looked back nor turned around, just stared at the lake and was silent.

Green glanced at the mother and daughter again, the mother was about forty years old, and the daughter was seventeen or eighteen. The ragged clothes and yellow muscles are thin, and I don't know how long it took to escape before I came to Eagle City.

He pulled out his tiger teeth and pulled a knife flower, clenched it in his hand and threatened: "Woman, if the news you want to say is not important, or it is fake, you will bear the consequences!"

The mother was so frightened that she almost fainted to the ground, thanks to the support of her daughter, who was also terrified. With teary eyes, he nodded hurriedly and began to tell the story of what they had experienced.

With the incoherent narration from time to time, the daughter occasionally added a little or two.

Not only the seven Greens, but even John, who didn't care much about it, frowned at some point.
