Chapter 293: Undercurrent

St. Gallen East, in the magnificent city lord's palace. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The setting sun casts a hazy yellow glow on the blooming flowers in the garden flower beds.

Invisibly, the murderous aura of the soldiers lined up in the phalanx was softened a lot.

The leading silver heavy-armored knight told the soldiers to stand by in place, and then gathered the cloak behind him, and with a solemn expression, he strode into the main hall.

"Fagaza, how is the search?" the middle-aged man who asked the question sat upright against the round table, although he was sitting, he still looked taller than ordinary people, like a little giant.

But his facial features are handsome and soft, with an approachable and gentle temperament.

And at this moment, the handsome face was full of lingering sorrow.

On his left hand side, there stood a woman who was as soft as water, none other than Lorovia.

Knight Fagash knelt on one knee and replied respectfully,

"Lord Gangze, in recent days, the city guards have completed the search of all the eastern and western districts, and arrested a total of twenty-four suspicious people, and after interrogation, none of them have anything to do with the Rao Xue family. ”

"In addition, the whereabouts of the Cannibals of Guinse have not been found. ”

City Lord Gang Ze's fingers tapped on the table a little impatiently, "What is the abnormal movement of the forces over there?"

"Most of the Rao Xue family's shops are open for business, and there are no suspicious people in the house. Just ......"

Fagaza paused for a moment, "The blacksmith shop they run has seen a significant reduction in production. The villain thinks that they are hoarding weapons and equipment in large quantities. ”

Gangduo's fingers shook suddenly, and he closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "In vain all my time to warn bitterly, it seems that the old fox has not given up his plans. ”

"The wolf's ambition is obvious, and his heart can be punished!"

This sentence seemed to exhaust all his strength, and he leaned back heavily in his chair after speaking.

Fagaza said in a deep voice, "My lord, do you want to strike first?"

"All we have is the vague letter, and this evidence is far from sufficient for the Imperial Inspectorate to admit. If they act first, it will create a legitimate excuse for them to seize power, and they cannot act rashly. ”

Saying that, Gang Ze sighed with some interest, "If you live under people, you have to snort on it." Who called me family decline, no 'background'. ”

Fagasa saw it in his eyes, and his heart seemed to be lit with a fire, and he couldn't help but persuade, "Lord Gangze, we have the support of the Deep Winter Spring, even if we tear our faces with the Rao Xue family on the day of the celebration, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose, so it is better to go out and fight!"

Gangduo waved his hand, "Originally, it was indeed evenly matched, and they were always in a delicate state of balance. But if Dinoan had the help of the Cannibal Clan of Guins, who came out of nowhere, his power would overwhelm us, and the balance of victory and defeat would inevitably tilt in his favor. ”

"What's more, on the day of the celebration, the whole city of St. Gallen gathered, and if the two sides started a war, the civilians would be killed and wounded, which was really not what I wanted. ”

Lorovia's eyes on the side darkened, the city lord of Gangze was generous and beloved, but he was too indecisive and soft-hearted. But if not, how could I follow him?

"Ci is not in charge of the army, you are really an outlier among the nobles. ”

Sighing helplessly in her heart, Lorovia suggested softly, "The old puppet of Dinuoan is grasping the psychology of the adults and wants you to take the initiative to abdicate in front of the people of the city. It is too much to deceive others, and it is better to ...... How about canceling the celebration?"

"This will not dispel Dinuoan's ambitions, but will allow them to be more unaware and replace me. ”

"Are you just sitting still?!" Lorovia frowned, seemingly dissatisfied with Gang Ze's timidity.

"Hold off, Rolo. Gangze was not angry, but just stretched out his broad palm to hold the hands of Lorovia and Fagasa respectively, and squeezed it heavily, "To completely destroy Dinuoan's conspiracy, there are two things we can do at present. ”

"On the one hand, find out the whereabouts of the Guinsian clan as soon as possible, exterminate them before the celebration, and solve the trouble. Or destroy the secret passages and delay the help of Guins. ”

"It seems to me that the search in the city for days has not found any traces of Guins, and there is a good chance that they are lurking in the villages and towns outside the city. ”

As the capital of the province of Irnes in the southern part of the empire, St. Gallen was large and had an active population of tens of thousands, relying on hundreds of villages and small towns outside the city for nutrition.

"And on the day of the celebration, the gates will be closed. The only way for Guins to enter the city is through a secret passage that we don't know about. ”

Fagaza rubbed his temples at the words, and a lot of information rolled through his mind.

"On the other hand, strengthen your own power. However, almost all the forces that St. Gallen can pull together have been tried, and now only the Hunters' Guild remains neutral. ”

"We must hurry up and negotiate with the guild leaders, and it is best to get them to stand clearly on our side. When the time comes, there is nothing to fear when Dinoan joins forces with the cannibals. ”

Gang Ze said sincerely, "I can't hide it, the huge city lord's mansion, you are the one who can be trusted." So I have to ask the two of you to help you with these two things. ”

As he spoke, he bowed solemnly to the two of them, and the two of them hurriedly grabbed his arm.

Lorovia bit her silver teeth, "My lord, the weak women of Nightingale can operate with peace of mind under the suppression of this group of vampires of the Rao Xue family, and I am so ashamed of your protection." I'll leave it to me to convince the Hunters' Guild, and I'll send a few sisters to find the secret passages in the city. ”

Seeing this, Fagaza stepped forward and said in a fixed voice, "The villain plans to take a team of brothers and immediately set off to search along the nearest town outside the city. If you don't find out the whereabouts of the cannibals, you won't return to the city!"

"Yes, you are very good, and if you survive this fate, I will certainly not fail you. ”

The two made a promise, and Gangze's attitude became much more affectionate.

In fact, he knew that even if the two of them switched to the enemy forces at this moment, he was helpless.

After the discussion, Fagashar went out of the city gate with a group of soldiers.

At the same time, hundreds of guards scattered to St. Gallen, and launched a search in full swing.

Lorovia, on the other hand, returned to the Edsardine Tavern, and threw a glance at the flamboyant barmaids, who entered the dark room with a burst of fragrant wind and a coquettish smile.

Lorovia's half-pretty face was hidden in the shadows, and the door was locked tightly.

There were a total of ten women in front of her, all of whom were in their prime.

"Sisters, the time has come for the Nightingale to live and die. ”

The women looked at each other, restrained their smiles, and there was a little more heroism and prudence between their eyebrows. "Big sister, what's going on?"

Lorovia sighed,

"This time, the Rao Xue family has been planning for a long time to get rid of Lord Gangze and seize the position of city lord. At that time the nightingale will have no place to stand in St. Gallen. Now, it's up to us women to take care of it!"

All the girls said in unison, "Eldest sister, you just command!"

"Jiya, Lorenna, you two will start scouting in the Eastern District tomorrow, and if you find any secret passages leading to the outside of the city, report back immediately!"

"Order, big sister!"

"Emma and Alva are in charge of the West End!"

"Katis, Jessie, Joanna, and Maggie, are in charge of the Old Town, be sure to be careful of the monsters, and ensure your own safety first!"

"The rest of you, follow me to the Hunters' Guild tomorrow morning!"

Then, the nightingale and the girls changed into a delicate and affectionate appearance, and returned to the hall to continue to run the business of the wine waiter.

And Lorovia secretly thought about other candidates, just a few of them, I am afraid that they will not be able to do it, "trustworthy and willing to help." ”

She couldn't help but think of the faces of the tiger cicada hunting group in her mind, and the corners of her mouth were slightly curved.
