Chapter 53: Where the Foundation Is
"Garrison, this news...... Don't spread the word just yet. Later, I will find a way to verify it myself!" Yun Lang pondered for a while, and after making up his mind, he advised.
Perhaps, this matter is much more than that!
Princess Sophia should be able to mobilize a lot of power, but it doesn't seem to be the whole story. It is also possible that there are other forces involved in it, either explicitly or covertly, and adding fuel to the fire.
These are all enemies, and if you only focus on the direction of Princess Sophia, those hidden forces are undoubtedly still potential threats. It is urgent to find them as soon as possible, even if they cannot be eliminated one by one for the time being, but at least they can be effectively prevented.
The reason why they chose to conceal this news for the time being was, first, to avoid alarming the snake, and second, to better stabilize people's minds.
You must know that in this world, in this special atmosphere, not just one person can stand up against the imperial royal family!
It is precisely because of this that the garrison officer Mansa White chooses to be loyal at such a time, which is particularly valuable!
"Obey!" Mansha replied without hesitation, and continued, "Among those invaders, there are still a few people who are the guards of the Liuyun family...... My lord, would you like to confirm their identities for themselves?"
"No need for the time being! Among the guards I brought, as long as they are standing guards affiliated with the Liuyun family, they are basically spies. Before I got to the level, I tried to tell the difference. And instead of going to Shining Gold as ordered, they mingled with those who wanted to attack me...... This also indirectly shows that some people in our Liuyun family don't really want me to be alive urgently...... But unfortunately, I haven't found out who that person is for the time being!" Yun Lang analyzed gloomily, looking extremely hateful.
Mansha stared at the young lord, her heart throbbing, and she didn't dare to intervene easily in this matter.
"Is there anything else?" Yun Lang was really tired, and he wanted to continue to clean up and rest.
"Uh...... My lord, among the captured invaders, there is a female assassin of the Third Order who wants to ask to see you, claiming that she is willing to offer the valuables left behind by the previous master. You...... Do you want to see her?" Mansha said, as she got up, one last thing.
"Female assassin, is it a female assassin wearing black leather armor?" Yun Lang quickly thought of the female assassin who could escape one after another under the muzzle of Butterfly Dance, so he asked curiously.
"Yes!" she replied in the affirmative, remembering the female Assassin's appearance vividly.
"It's her......" Yun Lang groaned for a while before he ordered: "Bring her over, I want to talk to her." ”
Mansha looked embarrassed and persuaded truthfully: "My lord, the assassin's speed is extremely fast, and it is difficult for ordinary guards to keep an eye on her, in case she suddenly attacks, we may not be able to rescue her!"
"Hehe, she should be a smart person, she should be ......" Yun Lang was a little hesitant halfway through speaking, after all, without Vivian's guard, the risk is really not small. He is not a person with a head iron, how could he let himself hit the south wall.
"Tie her hands and feet...... As long as you can still speak!" Yun Lang changed his words and commanded.
Mansha still frowned slightly, but nodded anyway. She also felt that it should be okay to tie it tightly......
After Mansha went out, Yunlang asked the maid in the house to call the guard Mike.
"My lord, seeing that you are safe and sound, I and the other guards are sincerely happy!" After Mike entered the house, he was relieved to see that Yunlang was safe and sound. Then, with a feeling, he said this with true feelings.
"Hehe, I'm really happy to be loved and cared for by you!" Yunlang beckoned, motioning for Mike to sit on the stool in front of the bed.
Mike thanked him, and after sitting down with apprehension, he became even more restrained.
"Mike, in my plan, I originally planned to go to Shining Gold Town, and after settling down, I will start to form my own guard, so that you can have a full thought process, so that you don't regret it after joining the guard...... Hehe," he smiled to himself.
When Mike heard this, he hurriedly stood up and said solemnly: "My lord, you are kind, wise, generous, far-sighted, and considerate and caring for your servants. I have no regrets about choosing to be loyal to you, and I am sure that no matter how long it takes, I will not regret it, but I will be proud of it!"
Yun Lang smiled again and motioned for him to sit down again before continuing: "The plan can't catch up with the change. The matter of forming the guard will be advanced, and you will go back later to count how many people are willing to officially join my guard. Mike, I'll leave this matter to you, don't let me down!"
"Rest assured, my lordship, I will not fail to live up to your expectations!" Mike reassured as he stood up again.
"Well, I'm a little tired, too. You just go back and count them first, it's best to write down their experiences in as much detail as possible, and I'll check them carefully!"
Mike took the command again and walked out of the house quickly.
Yun Lang let out a heavy breath and lay down gently.
The maid in the house immediately stepped forward, carefully covered him with the futon, and then silently stepped aside, waiting for orders.
He was tired, but he was not sleepy, and he did not want to think about anything else for a while, so he turned his gaze to the maid in the house.
This maid is already a senior maid, otherwise she would not be qualified to enter the master's bedroom.
She should not be very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a soft face, neatly dressed, and a faint smile from beginning to end, quiet and beautiful.
Probably for this reason, some "face blind" Yunlang often can't distinguish the specific identities of the maids.
In addition, many times, as long as Vivien is present, they are not allowed to enter the door, and can only wait outside the door, waiting for Yunlang or Vivien to summon and drive.
Yun Lang rarely gave orders directly to them, so he didn't have much contact with them. Occasionally, when I noticed them, it was mostly Vivien reprimanding them.
"You...... What's your name?" Yun Lang wanted to talk to her, but he didn't know her name.
"Ah......." The maid looked stunned, but soon returned to normal, and after giving a salute, she replied softly, "Master, your maid 'Jane'." ”
"You...... I've been standing for a long time, are you tired? There are stools over there, and when there are no outsiders, it's okay to take a proper rest!" Yun Lang didn't know what to say.
"Thank you, master......" The maid Jane hesitated and did not move: "Master, Jane is not tired, I beg you to let Jane stand here!"
Seeing that she was a little nervous, Yun Lang didn't persuade her much, and continued to ask: "How old are you? When will you be trained by a maid, and when will you become my maid?"
When Jian heard this, she immediately became very nervous, and even the faint smile that had not changed for thousands of years disappeared in an instant: "Master, Jian is already over fourteen years old. At the age of seven, she began her training as a maid, and at the age of twelve, she had the privilege of being your maid, and not long ago, she was appointed as a senior maid....... Master, Jane is by no means a spy, please trust Jane. ”
"Hehe, don't be afraid, I just asked about your situation, and I didn't doubt your loyalty. Yun Lang hurriedly comforted a few words, and changed the topic: "Listen to Vivien, the maids brought from Corrant City have some specialties, what are you best at!"
Jane exhaled lightly, still a little nervous: "Back to the master, Jane is good at making tea, dancing and taking care of the garden. ”
She peeked at it and saw that Yun Lang was a little disappointed, and immediately turned pale...... Her mind is still relatively simple, for fear that because her master is not satisfied with her, she will incur unexpected serious punishment.
"Hehe......" Yun Lang didn't expect that an inadvertent expression would make her tremble, and she was a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly explained: "Don't be nervous...... Actually, I just want to know if you can write and count, and if you do, I can arrange some more suitable and important work for you in the future. ”
"Oh......" Jane's forehead was already sweating, and after calming down, she continued to answer: "Jane knows how to write, and she also knows some superficial counting methods, but she is not very good at it, if she can make her master happy, Jane will definitely study hard and will never let you down!"
"Okay, I'll make an agreement with you now, you take the time to learn to write and count, and when you get to Shining Gold Town, if you can pass my assessment of you, I will let you manage some affairs, and then you will not be far from the head maid!" Yun Lang smiled lightly and encouraged.
"Really...... Really?" she peeked at it in disbelief, feeling that Yun Lang was not joking, and immediately overjoyed, her heart beating like a drum: "Master, please rest assured, Jane will definitely study seriously!"
"You and other senior maids will talk about this matter in detail and carefully, and if they can also pass the assessment, I will also let them manage some affairs. Don't worry that they will rob you of your chances, anyway, there are many opportunities, not to mention that there are only a few of you, even if there are more, I can place them all. Yun Lang carefully admonished.
"Yes, master, Jane will do this seriously!" she was still nervous just now, but she was excited in the blink of an eye.
Yun Lang saw it in his eyes, and he also sighed with some emotion, maybe this is the charm of power...... And he continued to have more wings to solidify the heavy foundation.
He was also a little hungry, so he asked Jane to fetch him some food, and ate a few bites.
