readx;? Tom cried out in a low voice:

"Come out on, Tommy, it's not fun. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

There was no movement in the quiet courtyard, and Tom crept around behind the statue, but as far as he could see, he didn't notice Tommy's shadow. The courtyard of Buckingburgh has a labyrinth of shrubs, which was used for entertaining the nobles and princes during their banquets. The elder brother Albert repeatedly told the younger brother not to come to this place to play. In fact, according to him, all the places in Castle Platinum should not be set foot in.

Albert also tries to get Sam to find him a job outside of Castle Bucking, as long as he gets out of the place. Sam expressed his embarrassment, because Sam had no property in the imperial capital, just like James casually sat and ate nothing. Regardless of his status as Minister of Justice, Sam is nothing more than an empty shelf without any financial power. Maybe he could squeeze out a few people from the long-losing treasury to feed a few people, but he couldn't give them a fish right away.

Compared with living on the streets, the three brothers are more willing to stay in the Platinum Castle, where food and clothing are worry-free.

"Hey!" Tommy slapped Tom on the shoulder.

Tom was taken aback, "Oh my God, Tommy! we shouldn't be here." ”

"It's alright, my brother. Tommy said, "You're overreacting, I've been here many times." There are no wild beasts, and no man-eating witches. ”

"Don't talk about what you have and don't, it's not right. Tom said.

"You can't change the fact that you didn't catch me. ”

"You're still thinking about hide and seek?"

"Don't think about it, quick. It's time for me to arrest you. Tommy said, counting down to himself, "20, 19, 18......"

Although Tom felt inappropriate, Tommy counted down as soon as he started, and the child's innocence immediately swept away all doubts and hurriedly began to look for a place to hide. I won't be found this time, Tom thought, walking into the deepest part of this bush maze.

Tom himself didn't know where to go, and looking at the sun behind him, Tom tried to walk in the same direction. Tommy's countdown grew quieter and lower, and the dark green bushes kept the sound out of the labyrinth along with the sunlight. The darker the sunlight, the greener these vegetation becomes. Tom found the perfect hiding place, which was the blind spot of the entrance, with his back to the three green walls.

Tom hid here excitedly, not thinking about how he should get out.

The wind swept through the shrub wall, carrying the most beautiful lullaby in the world. It's not like a band playing with a pleasing melody to cheer for Bo, it's not like a crowd of people talking about a mix of dross and pearls, or like a church sermon that chews on a heavy book. It rustles, not for anything, not even for its attention-grabbing sound, just because it's the wind.

Tom listened to the sound of the wind, and the other movements were extremely harsh, so the footsteps of the two people woke Tom up very neatly.

Is someone else coming? Hide, that's the first thing that comes to Tom's mind.

The footsteps slowly stopped on the other side of the wall behind Tom, and the two sat down and began to talk.

A calm and humble voice spoke first, "Is there anything I should know?" ”

"Truly, my lord. Although the second speaker was not an impulsive person, it was more pleading than the calm tone of the first one. "I'm ready to recruit a group of people, with equipment, weapons, and political explanations. Nominally, I didn't recruit them, they were Sam Pendragon's private men. ”

"Why did you tell me?"

"Even if I hide it from you, you will always find the truth. There are far more eyes and ears than a red-beaked bird's hair. ”

"Why do you think I won't tell you?"

"Because I want to get rid of Sam Pendragon, you won't object, right?" the pleading voice said, "Your information network benefits a lot from the gangsters, and if they don't go well, the intelligence network you're trying so hard to maintain will be paralyzed. ”

"How many people. The first voice asked, still steady.

"It depends on how many people I can muster, and by the next week I can get 400 men fully armed. And as far as they know, they play for Sam. Then we will be able to watch quietly and be caught off guard. ”

"The king doesn't know anything about that, does he? Said in a calm voice.

"Yes, whoever comes to defend Sam will be just a traitor trying to rebel. ”

When Tom heard this, he shivered inexplicably, and knocked the bushes behind him.

Tom instinctively realized that he was going to run away, and as soon as he got up, a sharp sword stabbed out of the bush he was leaning on. Tom panicked, and even if he was given time to choose his way, Tom had no idea where he should run. He fell, got up and prepared to move forward. The original dark green labyrinth is now a man-eating monster, and if you slow down, you will never recover.

In a panic, Tom crashed into the man's arms.

The man grabbed Tom by the collar and said to the man who followed him, "It's a child." ”

Tom could tell it was the voice that was pleading.

"He's a kid and it doesn't change anything. "It's that calm voice.

The man who grabbed him bent down, grabbed his shoulders with two big hands and asked, "Child, are you alone?"

Tom nodded and shook his head. The tears flowed uncontrollably, but his expression froze with fright, and his lips didn't move.
