144. The Return of the Earl Lionheart

Lu Cheng didn't expect that the emperor of the Far South Empire also had the attribute of pigeons, and it should be said that the escort team he sent over was really a group of white pigeons.

Earl Lionheart obeyed the order of the Emperor of the Far South, and quietly waited for the arrival of the escort sent by the Emperor in Black Sword City.

Missing a trace is second, in the past seven days, the Lionheart Earl has also suffered three assassinations one after another, if it weren't for the investigation team secretly protecting the poor old earl, he would have died tragically on the street three times.

Once again, the enraged Earl Lionheart broke into the Mage's Tower to ask the Emperor, 'What about the Guard?' And you said to deal with the traitors right away? What about processing? Count Lionheart's tone may not have been so aggressive, but it was roughly what it meant.

The emperor of the Far South Empire replied, 'It's coming soon,' and 'maybe something happened on the way'.

Lu Cheng pondered the current mood of this earl, probably as entangled as waiting for his girlfriend to put on makeup, wanting to leave directly, but also afraid that his girlfriend would be scolded if he didn't see anyone after putting on makeup.

In this way, the Lionheart Earl, who was supposed to return to the Lionheart Territory within ten days, hibernated in Black Sword City for ten days in order to wait for the escort sent by the Emperor.

All the way to the miserable situation of the old earl who had no money to eat.

Zhou Hua, the earl's experience, has been doing live broadcasts for Lu Cheng, if it weren't for the fact that there was only one camera, Lu Cheng would feel like he was watching a series.

In fact, when Lu Cheng usually listened to Zhou Hua's report on the latest developments of the earl, he would occasionally take a bucket of popcorn and Coke while eating and listening.

Today was the eleventh day of Count Lionheart's life in Black Sword City, and the generous Earl did not expect that he would be poor enough to sell his family property.

"You let him come out and he came out? Do you already believe that much? ”

Lu Cheng communicated with Zhou Hua on the radio, and Lu Cheng became Count Lionheart's delivery man during this time, and Count Lionheart handed over the money to Lu Cheng, who bought him some food and daily necessities to bring back to his hideout.

Zhou Hua became an inseparable guard, and Lu Cheng sat in the hotel rented by the investigation team, watching the pictures taken by Zhou Hua's pinhole camera.

He was preparing to leave the hideout with the Lionheart Count and go to the black market in Black Sword City to sell two rings to alleviate the poverty to nothing.

"He should be afraid that I will be deceived by a merchant on the black market." Zhou Hua lowered his voice and said to Lu Cheng.

"This earl seems to be caring about you lately?"

Lu Cheng remembered that Zhou Hua's character was the kind of 'simple boy who had just come out of the mountains and forests', if he insisted on finding a reference in martial arts, it would be similar to Zhang Wuji's kind of character.

Judging from the shooting images of the previous episodes of "Count Lionheart's Homecoming", Count Lionheart is very concerned about Zhou Hua's psychological growth, and every once in a while he will educate Zhou Hua about the sinister world and the like, and almost say the classic saying "The more beautiful a woman is, the more she can deceive people".

"He has two sons who have died on the battlefield, maybe it was a feeling, and the captain Did the informant you contacted arrive at the target location?" Zhou Hua asked.

"It's here, ready to start planning the joint."

Lu Cheng glanced at the time on his watch, turned off the pinhole camera from Zhou Hua, put on a hood similar to a mage's robe, and walked towards the market of Black Sword City with the inspection team.

Captain Sina had arrived at Black Sword City a day earlier, and he followed Lu Cheng's advice to stop the cargo ship at Xiuen Zhelai first.

He himself hired a light sailing ship and rushed to the port of Black Sword City alone.

It wasn't that far from the port of Xiu Enzhelai to the port of Black Sword City, and it only took about seven days, and Captain Sina sat in the alley of the Black Sword City market with a backpack of goods on his back.

The alley is dirty and messy, and only thugs who sell narcotics and the like do business here, as well as street prostitutes... Captain Sina, even if he hired two guards, was a little unstable here.

He couldn't believe that this place would have a big man of the caliber of Count Lionheart.

But it did come out of nowhere, and Captain Sina had waited here for less than half an hour when he saw an old man in ragged clothes with a twisted beard coming out of the other side of the alley.

Behind the old man was a young man, and Captain Sina recognized at first glance the old man, who was more of a vagabond than a nobleman, as the legendary Count Lionheart.

"Count, I didn't expect to meet you here." The moment Captain Sina excitedly said the word Earl, the already tense atmosphere in the alley instantly took on a hint of murderous intent.

As a guard, Zhou Hua dutifully protected Count Lionheart behind him, and the long sword that Count Lionheart was originally holding was also pulled out as soon as possible.

"Count! I... I am the founder of the White Salt Chamber of Commerce! You can call me Sinna! ”

Captain Sina had already heard about the Count's current situation when he came here, that is, he was being hunted down everywhere, and Lu Cheng had already given him some information in advance, so that it would be easier for him to communicate with the Count.

"Where did you hear from me?" The sword held by Count Lionheart shone faintly, and he was already brewing some kind of magic that would kill him with a single blow.

"Dragonscale Chamber of Commerce, Earl... The White Salt Chamber of Commerce has always been a vassal of the Dragon Scale Chamber of Commerce, and I overheard something about you from the head of the Chamber of Commerce some time ago. ”

Many of Captain Xinna's words were lies, but slandering the Dragonscale Chamber of Commerce was also a necessary means of business competition for him.

"Dragon Scale Chamber of Commerce? How can they have news of me? Count Lionheart immediately asked Captain Sinna.

"I don't know, it's just that I heard that you were in Black Sword City, so I wanted to come here to try my luck, but I didn't expect to actually meet you."

Captain Sina said and took out a ring with a lion's emblem and trembled to give it to Count Lionheart, and Zhou Hua, who was next to Count Lionheart, took the ring and returned it to the earl.

This ring was the one that Count Lionheart had commissioned to sell to Lucheng before.

"What do you want from me?" Count Lionheart realized that the other party had clearly come to ask for something.

"I hope to get your protection, I have some goods that I hope to sell in the Far South, but if these goods are discovered by the Dragon Scale and Sword Banner Chamber of Commerce, they will execute me as soon as possible, and then monopolize these goods."

Captain Sina spoke so fast that he feared that the Lionheart Count would be impatient and draw his sword and cut it down.

"Goods? Are you selling contraband? Earl Lionheart looked serious when he heard this, and even if he was so downcast, he would not forget to maintain the stability of the Far South.

There are many dangerous contraband items in the Far South that are forbidden to be sold, and some serious contraband items are even put to death if they are caught.

"No... Not contraband! Captain Sina hurriedly put down the backpack behind his back, which contained a large number of goods from the Celestial Empire, "You can take a look at these things before making a decision." ”
