Luma was a little surprised, but the brothers affirmed the news: "Many people know about this matter, it is said that the funds for Mrs. Ziya to open an entertainment oasis were given by Count Xiao, and when the news of Count Xiao's death came, she also closed her business for a few days, hanging black yarn in her tent, and she has not taken it off until now. However, this woman is not simple, she has an ambiguous relationship with several leaders of underground forces in Monli, and I heard that the two bosses of Westside are also her guests, of course, this is all rumors, no one knows whether it is true or not. ”

Luma watched Minna's reaction carefully, but Minna didn't pay much attention. When she knew this name, she heard that the other party had a lover, and her grandfather didn't care, so why should she be nosy? But... Grandpa is not dead at all, this matter has long been publicized by the Security Department, why is this Mrs. Ziya still hanging a black veil? And she's close to so many men... What does this mean?

She turned to look at Luma: "What now?" If you want to find out if she has anything to do with that thing and that person, how can you find out? ”

The bootshop brothers didn't know what they meant by "that thing and that person," but they both adhered to the principles of the Security Service and suppressed their curiosity.

Luma thought for a moment, "Can't you just ask her?" If she had a past with Count Shaw, maybe she would be willing to help us? "Especially with Minna, the granddaughter of Count Shaw. He didn't say it, but the gaze he looked at Minna clearly hinted at it.

Minna hesitated: "This was more than ten years ago, we haven't figured out what she has to do with Esparo, if she is on the enemy's side, won't we reveal our identity?" Moreover, in the face of her grandfather's past mistress, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's just as well," Luma muttered. People's hearts are unpredictable, the young lady of the Head family fell in love with Count Xiao back then, and the previous Duke of Head didn't also regard Count Xiao as a candidate for his son-in-law. Is it appreciated? But now the two families are enemies. No one can guarantee whether Count Shaw's former mistress will still miss the old love. He turned to the brothers and asked, "Is there a way to sneak into the entertainment oasis?" It is best to approach the position of Lady Ziya. ”

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult." The elder brother said, "The guards there are so tight that guests can't get close to Madame Ziya's residence. And now they are in dire need of recruits. They were all singers and dancers or young male and female attendants, and these people could not approach her tent either. Most of the servants around her have served for more than ten years, and even the servants who washed and swept the floor had to check the last three generations and all collateral blood relatives to confirm that they were reliable before they were hired. We once had a colleague try to sneak in, only to be kicked out at the first hurdle. ”

"Isn't that the male and female attendants okay too?" Luma asked urgently, glancing at Minna by the way. Minna raised her eyebrows, a little unpleasant.

"The male and female attendants are nicely said, but in fact, they are all playthings, just like the singers and dancers, and there is no need to sacrifice our own people." The brother said.

Minna stared at Luma with fierce eyes, she didn't want to do such a thing!

Lumar retracted her gaze in a daze. Dispelled the idea.

Since you can't mix in in this way. They had no choice but to keep an eye on the periphery of the entertainment oasis. Look for infiltration loopholes. But stared for two days. They can only sneak into the play area and wander around. To approach the main tent area. It's simply impossible. There are three inner and outer layers of guards. Surprisingly strict. Minna and Luma pretend to be father and son who come to the resort. Wander around in the oasis. Get a little closer to a sensitive area. Someone "politely" asked them to leave.

Tried two or three times. I'm afraid of startling the snake. They had to give up for the time being. Minna leaned against the trunk of a tree at the edge of the pool. From afar, I watched the carriages coming in and out of the gate. I couldn't help but worry: "I can't wait any longer." It's not cheap. We don't have much money left. Looking left and right: "Why do you think there are so many people here?" It's much more lively than the last time I came. There are almost five times as many carriage lands as there were then! ”

"Now there are more people moving to Monridi. Naturally, there are more people here. This woman is not simple! Luma sighed. I also added a sentence in my heart: worthy of being a woman from Earl Xiao's land. He glanced at Minna. Didn't say that. Suddenly. His arm was grabbed by Minna. He was a little weak-hearted: "You... What are you holding me for? ”

"Esparo! It's Esparo! Minna motioned for him to look at a carriage parked at the gate of the Entertainment Oasis. A man in the car was coming down. The appearance is seven or eight points familiar. He was followed by fifteen or sixteen guards. I wear a white muslin uniform. She had heard the boot shop brothers mention it. It was the uniform costume of the Oasis Guards of the Entertainment Oasis.

Luma took a closer look. Sure enough, I recognized it as Esparo Heda. Slammed his thigh: "He's really here!" Good. We're not going to let him run away again! Ouch! He suddenly let out a low cry. The flesh on the arm was twisted by Minna in a strange pain: "Be careful." I'm an old man. It's not as skinny as you young people. ”

Minna ignored his teasing, her eyes lit up: "I thought of it, there is another way to blend in!" ”

Half a day later, in the back room of the boot shop, Luma and the brothers at the intelligence station looked at Minna, who had newly changed into a swordsman's suit, and a scimitar across her waist, and praised: "It's good, it's quite energetic, but it's a little thinner." Luma added: "If you are black-haired and black-eyed, no matter how tall and strong you are, you really look a little like Count Shaw." ”

Minna lifted her chin: "Of course! "She's grandpa's granddaughter!

The brothers, who didn't know the inside story, were a little confused, Minna hurriedly restrained her smugness, and asked seriously: "If I dress like this to apply for a guard, can I do it?" ”

"But the newly recruited guards can only guard the perimeter..."The younger brother expressed his worries, but Luma shook his head: "Not necessarily, this dress... It's very similar to the style that Count Xiao often wears? If you can let Lady Ziya see you, it is still very likely that you will enter the inner ground. ”

Minna smiled, this dress was originally grandpa's land, she put it in the storage bracelet, and, in order to avoid the lady's suspicion that she was deliberately dressed like this, she also specially changed a few accessories with obvious characteristics, such as pockets, belts, etc., and replaced them with common styles, which looked not much different from ordinary swordsmen, so she went to the interview. It should be fine, right? She is quite confident in her skills

Luma walked around her and kept nodding, "Yes, that's good." Although it doesn't look very strong on the outside, as long as you make a move, how can those ordinary guards be your opponents? Your swordsmanship is good, and you are not tall, as long as you go in, most of you will not be arranged to go to the periphery-those people are all strong men-as long as you are arranged close to the main tent, regardless of whether you can see Mrs. Ziya or not. It's not hard to find out where Esparo is. Well, well, that's good, so let's do it! ”

The brother in the boot shop asked again: "Then how is he going to apply?" The guards recruited there were all from the bigwigs of Wisdom or Monry, and we had very little contact with them, so it was impossible to ask them to do such a secret thing. If you can't find anyone, you can't sign up! ”

Luma thought about it, and fell into deep thought, but Minna suddenly remembered someone: "Maybe." We can ask Fridorf for help. It's the dividing line of the transition scene, and "Fridolf" hasn't been seen for three years, and it's still the same, but it can be seen that it has been redecorated again. The bar counter, tables and chairs have been replaced with better materials. The room was still dimly lit, the scented smoke was getting thicker, and the waitresses were still dressed in revealing tulle dresses, but when they got closer, it was obvious that they were no longer young and lovely. His face was covered with heavy makeup, his face was haggard, his skin had lost its youthful luster, and some people were terribly thin. There are a lot of male waiters in the store, some young and some middle-aged, wearing gray and blue cloth clothes of Qingyise.

It's still early, and there are not many customers in the store.

There was a commotion in the middle of the bar, and Minna heard it. I saw a strong man with a meaty face shouting at two or three men in gray and blue cloth clothes. Ask them to play cards and gamble for money. The young men, who were apparently clerks, seemed reluctant to do so. But still bet. After a while, a young man won, but the strong man denied it, erased the cards, and gambled again, and when he finally won the others, he forced the young men to come up with the money.

The strong man proudly counted the money, and hugged the woman next to him and kissed him a few times. The woman smiled and flattered a few words, but her face was full of gloom. Minna recognized her as the "ace" yarn of the year, and she didn't expect that she was still working here.

Out of the back of the store was a middle-aged man in a gray and blue cloth shirt, with an extra vest than the other clerks. Seeing the arrogant appearance of the strong man, he glanced at the angry clerks and the surrounding customers who were frowning because of the noise made by the strong man, and hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to hold the strong man holding the floor card: "The letter has been written, you can take it back quickly." ”

The strong man shouted dissatisfiedly: "What are you doing?!" I've got a good deck of cards and I'm going to win right away, what? Do you want to play with means?! Seeing the clerks playing with him quickly shuffling the cards, he was even more angry: "A letter takes so long to write!" It's just a waste of my time! Are you still stopping me from getting rich now?! ”

"If you drag it out and refuse to leave, and delay Mrs. Ziya's serious business, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a fortune for the rest of your life." The middle-aged man said lightly.

The strong man's face changed, he snatched the letter from his hand, and said cruelly to several young people: "This time the money is owed first!" I'll take it next time! Then he cursed and walked away.

Several young clerks immediately gathered around the middle-aged man: "He's too much, is this also called playing cards?!" "There's no gambling at all, no wonder no one wants to play with him!" "Every time you treat us as the wrongdoer, you might as well go and grab the money!"

The middle-aged man sighed: "I can't help it, he is the guard next to Mrs. Ziya, even the boss has to give him a few points, we can't afford to offend, bear with it, I will tell the boss and ask him to compensate you." ”

The clerks calmed down a little, but they couldn't help but talk about the ugly deeds of the strong man. Minna listened thoughtfully. The middle-aged man comforted the juniors, turned around and saw Minna, and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Hello, guest, what do you want?" ”

"I want to see Frido." Minna turned to look at him, "There's something very important. ”

The middle-aged man paused, then smiled again: "The boss is not in the store now, and we don't know when he will come back, or you can tell me about it, and I will tell him." ”

Minna stared at the other party a few times, saw that he was unmoved, and said with a smile: "Frido once taught me not to trust others easily. I'm a good student, so... I don't believe your words. She straightened her face and tried to let out a little murderous aura: "I-to-see-Frido!" The tone was light, but with a hint of threat.

The middle-aged man's face was a little pale, he looked at Minna in disbelief, and hurried to the back of the store. Minna casually looked at the furnishings in the store, saw Sasha twisting her waist and came over, and without waiting for her to speak, she waved her hand: "No need to come over, I'm not interested in you." Sasha's face darkened, and she left with a cold snort.

After a while, the middle-aged man came to invite Minna to the back of the house, which was still the same small bedroom, but some of the furniture had been replaced with an intricate and ornate style, which did not match the furnishings of the house

Frido sat at the old table by the window, reading, dressed in a half-new black silk robe, as pale and slender as ever, but the two mustaches on his lips greatly enhanced his masculinity, and made his temperament no longer appear feminine. He casually raised his eyes to look at Minna, then put his gaze back into the book again, and asked lazily, "Who is Your Excellency?" I don't seem to know you? ”

Minna smiled: "Freedo, of course you know me, I'm Minna, and now I'm grown up." ”

Frido looked up sharply, his eyes wide open: "What... You... You're obviously a man! "But if you look closely, it does look like the little girl back then...

"I'm a girl, but now I'm a man." Minna jumped briskly to the side and sat down, "It's a secret, don't tell anyone." She winked at him, saw his shocked look, and amusedly told him a few things about the time they had been together, so that he could believe that he was indeed Minna Shaw-Cardo.

The little girl turned into a teenager, and Frido couldn't help but look at Minna a few more times. Minna didn't care to let him look at it, but looked at the chair she was sitting on with disgust: "Where did this come from?" It's not like you'd use it. ”

"Someone else sent it..."Frido took it lightly, without elaborating, his eyes were fixed on Minna, "I heard about your family, you have been missing for a few years, and your father has been involved in a lawsuit again, I heard that he was seriously injured?" Also, Count Shaw, he..."

"Grandpa is not dead!" Minna was a little annoyed when she always wanted to say this to people, "Why doesn't everyone believe it?" Anyway, I know that he is not dead, he just returned to his hometown, and he will come back sooner or later. As for my dad, he's fine. She smiled and glanced at Frido: "I was actually abducted by slave traders in the years I was missing, and I was sold in Wisha, and I came to look for you when I fled, but unfortunately you were not there at that time, and the boss changed here." ”

"Looking for me?" Freedo straightened up, "Why?" ”

Minna was a little puzzled: "At that time, you were my closest friend, I was in trouble, of course I wanted to come to you." ”

Frido looked away: "You just said that you don't trust people easily, it seems that you haven't made much progress." He became lazy again, and asked nonchalantly, "Tell me, what is the matter with coming to me?" ”

Minna leaned over and whispered, "You know Lady Ziya, don't you?" Can I be a bodyguard for an entertainment oasis? Of course, I want to hide my true identity. ”

Frido suddenly became vigilant: "What do you want to do?!" ”

Minna hesitated for a moment and decided not to hide it from him: "You know about our family, you should also know about Heda's family, right?" ”

"Of course I know that the person who killed your father has now fallen into ruin, and all the women and children in the family have gone to prison." Frido raised an eyebrow, "What?" Are you going to kill them all? But what does this have to do with Lady Ziya? ”

Minna frowned, "Freedo, your tone is so strange. ”
