Chapter Seventy-Five: Exploring the Way
"Your Highness, there's something going on on the dock, so hurry up and take a look. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said the guard hurriedly running in.
"What can happen to the dock?" Leon knew that he was talking about the old dock outside the town, which should be carrying grain, and this was not the first time, what accident could happen, could it collapse? The dock is old, and it usually makes a creaking sound when you walk on it, and you will feel a slight shaking when you exert yourself, so can't you insist that the new dock is built?
The man who came was so angry that it was surmised from his words that someone was making trouble. The guards didn't know what was going on, the people on the other side of the dock had come all the way, and when they arrived outside the castle, they were out of breath, and just intermittently said that they asked the prince to come over and deal with it.
"Anything like this? Go, go and see. When Leon heard this, on the one hand, he was relieved, it was no problem for the dock to hold on for a few more days, and on the other hand, he was not at ease, where did the people from the always peaceful town make trouble, and he was not usually allowed to go through the small fights, unless it was something that the crew could not handle.
York followed the prince in the direction of the docks.
At the dock, several crew members surrounded the swaggering man, who carefully guarded him so that he would not escape again.
It turned out that when the crew was carrying the grain just now, someone found that there was a sneaky person on the ship, and it seemed that he was not a laborer, because everyone's clothing was uniform. The man looked around and didn't know what he was looking at, and when the crew went to ask him, he ran away, but was still caught by the crew.
In these years, there are some bold thieves who dare to run to the boat to steal, it may be that this person is unlucky, when stealing, the boat is moving, and can only hide inside, when the ship stops, he dares to come out to check the situation, but he did not expect to be caught.
For such people, the crew will not be merciful, once the goods are stolen, and if the thief can no longer find the place, the loss can only be compensated by them. Now that they have caught someone, they plan to beat him up first, but they didn't expect the man to say that he was from a small town.
The crew members were not locals, but employees of Silas, a great merchant in White Mist City, who knew about the cooperation between the two places, and besides, it was not the first time they had come, and if they took the liberty of beating up the townspeople, they would be blamed for a small matter and a big deal for ruining the relationship between the two families. After deliberation, the crew decided to ask the prince to deal with it, anyway, there was only food on board, and the man had nowhere to hide if he wanted to steal.
"What's going on?" asked the Knight of York, who walked up first.
The crew honestly told what had happened.
"You say you're from a small town, but what's your name and where do you live?" York knew at a glance that the man was a fake, his eyes revealing obscenity, and his face showing disdain, as if the people around him did not dare to do anything to him. Even if a normal townsman ran to the boat to see it out of curiosity, it would explain the situation if he was discovered, and it would be impossible to escape, let alone look like a ruffian.
"Who are you? I want to see your lord. The man's attitude was very arrogant, and it was okay to be surrounded by so many people, which exacerbated his arrogance. Although the person who asked him didn't look easy to mess with, he wasn't scared at all.
"Hmph, who are you? The knight of York said sharply, if the prince came at once, would it still be the prince? The men in the tavern were not so obedient, and sometimes they did not respond for a long time.
"If the lord doesn't come, I won't say it. The man continued with his attitude, completely ignoring the knight. Because he firmly believed that the lord could not come to see him, and he would not be allowed to let him go when the time came.
Just as York was about to move his muscles, the prince spoke.
"I'm the lord of the town, you want to see me?" Leon said as he stepped forward, he had been on the same page with the knight at first, and now he was sure that he was not from the town.
There were many people in the townspeople who were the same size as him, but they showed a completely different mental state. Put him in the middle of the town, and you can clearly distinguish the demeanor in the flow and the attitude of no one in the eyes. Leon guessed that he should be from White Mist City, but he didn't know who sent him.
The man couldn't believe that the lord had really come.
"I ask you, is Chris here?" Even now, the man's attitude has not changed, as if he is the lord.
York glared at him, "I can teach you how to talk to the prince." ”
The man's attitude had made the knight uncomfortable, but he could bear it. But now he still shows this appearance to the prince, which is not only disrespectful to the prince, but also the biggest insult to his position as chief knight.
In addition to protecting the life of the lord, the chief knight must also defend the honor and dignity of the lord, and once someone insults the person who swears to protect him, it is like provoking himself in front of them, which is absolutely intolerable.
The man's expression froze instantly, he was so frightened that he took two steps back. Because he saw the murderous intent in the knight's eyes, he had no doubt that the result of his continuation would be the fall of his head.
Chris Leon already knew who sent him, but he didn't expect Shure to be so bold as to send someone to find out the news.
"I'm here for Chris. The man finally reined in, put his tone to the lowest, no matter how big his temper was, he didn't dare to use it on such an occasion, he had been rampant and domineering in White Mist City for too long, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while, but everything was to save his life first, this was the concept they respected the most.
"Chris, why do you say he's here?" Leon remembered that York had said before, leaving no clues, so how did Shure find this place? If it was just a blind search, then just send it away, so as not to waste energy, and if you do find evidence, you have to think about what to do.
"Someone heard it. The man glanced at the Knight of York, and said honestly, that he did not want to suffer from flesh and skin, and that he would answer whatever the prince asked.
"Where did you hear that?" Leon continued.
"I don't know much about this, but I heard that on the day the letter was delivered, someone was unconscious in the room and accidentally heard the news. The man told him all he knew.
The Yorkie Knight thought for a moment, and when he was saving people that day, he kicked the person who attacked him from behind and knocked him unconscious, but Shure fled. Then the only person who heard the news could be the person who fainted, and he was very careful in doing things himself, but he didn't expect that there was a problem in such a detail.
Seeing York's expression, Leon knew that things could not be perfunctory, and Shure had to find a way to solve this matter, otherwise the town would not be at peace for a long time.
