Chapter 81: An Inexplicable Release
Stannis felt his heart beat out because he felt the way the confused girl in front of him look at him changed.
How old was she? Twenty years old? Anyway, Stannis could not see the traces of time on her childlike innocent face, and she couldn't help but lament the Imperial Army's eclectic approach to talent promotion, and she became a major at such a young age. However, he secretly thought that such a beautiful but stupid woman could be in a high position, it must be because of the ulterior transaction behind her.
No, I was scared to death just now, how can I start gossiping now? Stannis quickly shook his head to sober himself up.
But he noticed that Charaki was still looking at him in his original position.
Stannis was embarrassed to see her, it was impossible to kill or chop it up, but what was the matter with staring at herself with such innocent eyes?
"You still look a little handsome, worthy of a personable king's demeanor, no wonder so many girls will love you wholeheartedly at that time. ”
The woman suddenly didn't come out of nowhere.
Stannis was confused by the illogical statement, "Did you compliment me on my handsomeness in that letter?"
"Hah!" Charaki was shocked, she didn't expect that she would unknowingly say what she really thought.
She fanned her hot face with her hand to cool her hot face, and at the same time hurriedly spoke to hide her gaffe.
"Haha, this letter says that Sir Justin is an absolutely trustworthy person, and you will never fail to pay money because you want to evade taxes, and at this point, the Imperial Envoy, His Excellency Bernard, can vouch for you with his personality. ”
The old man who cheated himself really said this, Stannis obviously didn't believe it, afraid that he didn't deliberately do this to make himself completely unguarded, and then pit himself to the end.
And he mentioned that because you need to guard the large forests of the eastern frontier, you will be very satisfied, and the empire will be very satisfied, and all future taxes and fees will be deducted as encouragement. ”
This greatly surprised the lord, and his position began to waver, could it be that Uncle Sean Bing really wanted to help himself?
"Since the Imperial envoys have said so, then we have no right to punish you again, and now you are free, Sir Justine. ”
With that, Charaki stood up and held out his hand to him.
Stannis didn't expect to be released so soon, not only did he not have to be locked up in a small black room, but it was equivalent to living a windfall, of course he couldn't help but be happy.
"Where, where, I should do my best to serve the Empire, this is what I should do. Stannis hurriedly grasped the woman's hand, but it felt as hard as a stone, and the woman's snow-white hands were covered with calluses.
But he couldn't do that much. Just blindly excited, holding the major's hand and swinging it non-stop.
"Oops, you've all hurt you, do you want me to send you out?" Charaki also looked happy, making one have to wonder about her position.
"No, no, I'll just go out alone. Stannis practiced waving his hand, "Besides, you don't have any clothes on, so it's not good to go out like this." ”
This sentence reminded the woman, and she habitually stuck out her tongue again, "Then I won't send you, and I will continue to take a bath?"
As he went out, he noticed that Lieutenant Vlady outside the door was also looking at him a lot kinder.
Stannis descended the stairs, and as he walked out of the door, he happened to meet a gray-colored old man who had been escorted out of the small black room.
"Oh, don't push me, this old man, you will support me if I fall!" the old man looked a little grumpy.
But just by this voice, he could tell that this guy was the crazy mage who was locked up next to him just now, and pretended to be a lord who owed taxes, and talked nonsense so much that he almost peed his pants!
I didn't expect to be old, and I still have fun playing tricks, which is really the best case of bad people getting old.
Stannis glared at him angrily, after all, he couldn't rush up and beat him to relieve his anger, otherwise even if he was a lord, compensation alone would be enough to ruin his family.
The old man also noticed him, for only those who were teased by him would look at him with such eyes, and it seemed that he was pleased, waving his hands and laughing, showing not a single tooth on his gums.
"It looks like you've paid all your taxes, and I wish you a long life, my lord, haha!"
The mad mage waved his thumb at him with a black metal ring carved into it in the shape of a flame, and Stannis remembered where he seemed to have seen a ring of this style, but he just couldn't remember exactly when it happened.
The guards behind him rudely shoved him down, leaving Stannis alone to sulk.
But after the anger is over, you have to think about how to go back.
"I'll give you a horse. A familiar voice came from behind him, and he turned to see Charachia's sunny smiling face, and she looked like she had changed into her clothes.
"How can this work. He still pretended to be polite.
The major shook his head, "We are also at fault in this matter, we arrested you for no reason, and let you be locked in a cell for a long time, so it is also appropriate to accompany you with a horse." ”
Since the other party said so, it was difficult for Stannis to refuse, in fact, he wanted the other party to send him back, because he didn't know the way......
"Do you want me to send someone to take you back, but you should remember how to go back, it's really hard to decide!" Charaki began to be confused again.
"No, no, I'll just ride back by myself. Stannis hurriedly refused, if a lord didn't even know the way back to his own territory, then he deserved to be exposed as a traverser.
"Oh, then I won't send you, just go to the stable and tell the soldier who watched the horse that I sent you to fetch the horse, and he'll know what to do next." ”
"By the way, didn't you just want to take a shower, why did you get dressed and come down again?" Stannis wondered.
The woman waved her hand helplessly, "No way, Lieutenant Vlady just came to report just now, and more than a dozen sheep disappeared around, and a large number of livestock disappear around inexplicably at this time of year, but I can't always find out who the black hand is, it's really distressing." ”
It's hard for her to let such a confused woman be a detective, Stannis just thought in his heart, but he said: "Then I won't bother you, you go and do your own business." ”
"Oh, then you should take care of yourself on the way. ”
With that, she turned and headed back to the hall.
What a funny girl, I don't know if I'll see you next time. Stannis thought as he walked towards the stables.
