Chapter Thirty-Eight: Secret Help

"Last night there was a big explosion in the royal city, killing hundreds of people." So says a small merchant who is responsible for delivering fruits and vegetables to the Wangcheng market every day.

"Last night the Minister of Theology was arrested, and he also gathered private troops to resist, and was bombed with large artillery by the royal guards." That's what one of the janitors in the lower town said.

"I heard that there was a very powerful law loser hiding in the royal city, and he was discovered by the people of the legal management department, and borrowed the royal capital guards to encircle and suppress it, but the law loser was too powerful, and many people died, and several mages died in the legal management department, so he finally killed the law loser." The news came from a dressmaker's servant who often made custom satin robes for noble ministers.

......

Similar news spread throughout the royal capital before noon the next day, and even the lowly serfs heard about it. For a while, there were different opinions in the city, and everyone was excitedly talking about this most "explosive" incident in the royal capital in recent years.

Naturally, he didn't know this, he had already slept in a room that didn't look luxurious but rather elegant.

Last night in the trench car, the man and the woman did not speak, kept looking out the window, and did not even make contact with Aozong, and Aozong naturally did not take the initiative to ask.

The car did not go out of the city, but walked unhurriedly in the opposite direction of the theological adviser's mansion, until it stopped in front of a house.

There were a few people in the courtyard, and they were all a little excited when they saw Ao Zongheng's expression, but they also kept their mouths tightly closed.

In a corner of the courtyard and a mill hut, those people entered the hut, and for a while they were busy, and they pushed the stone mill away, and a tunnel staircase was revealed on the ground.

"Sir, it is estimated that the royal guards will search everywhere in the past two days, please take a break here for the time being, and my father will come to meet you as soon as possible. The woman finally spoke again, slightly apologetic, for he was the daughter of the leader of the gang.

Faced with a group of unknown mysterious people and a prison-like tunnel, others will definitely hesitate, at least ask a few questions before going down. But he didn't, and he lifted his feet and went down the stairs.

There was a rumble overhead, and the stone mill was turned off again, but the oil lamps were already on the walls of the stairs, and it was not pitch black.

The tunnel staircase descends in a spiral, about a foot deep, and at the end of the staircase, it is a secret room with six stone walls, except for a bed, a table, two chairs, and a commode, there is nothing else.

Although the top of the room is sealed, there are vents in the walls of the room that allow candles to be lit without leaking the candlelight. While meditating and pranayama, he listened to all the movements inside and outside the courtyard. However, since he entered the tunnel, the people in the courtyard have also dispersed, leaving only one old and one young, who seem to be the housekeepers, and have also gone to sleep. During this period, it seems that there were really royal guards who came to search, and even tried to push the stone mill, probably thinking it was too heavy and gave up, the guards searched for about a moment, and finally returned in a huff.

After a while, it was probably dawn, and the surroundings began to be a little lively, after all, it was the royal city, and it was impossible to be as crowded as the upper and lower cities, and there were two people in the courtyard above, and breakfast was also delivered, but it didn't bring any new information, just said that the royal guards had searched the house and should not come again.

Waited for almost half a day, didn't wait for the "master" in their mouths, but the ring spirit came uninvited, when Ao Zongheng told her all the things last night, she immediately came to the energy, a vigorous burying Ao Zongheng, what thinks the rivers and lakes are old, what is the age of the brain is not long, as always, the style is damaged, but the Ao Zongheng looks at her only out of concern, and it automatically filters out the unpleasant.

It was almost noon, and just as Ao Zongheng couldn't help but want to ask the ring spirit if there was any mantra spell that would force her not to speak, a trench cart came outside. Arrogant had a hunch that the person who came was the father of the woman last night.

Sure enough, the fixed mechanism of the stone mill was quickly loosened, and the stone mill was also pushed away, and a person who was probably a guard probably wanted to follow down the tunnel, but was stopped, only a man who sounded young and the woman who had gone down the tunnel last night.

"Sure enough, sir, forgive me for my presumptuousness. "The man is indeed not young, although the men of the Pleuz world tend to grow gray hair very early, and it is not as reliable as in Middle-earth to tell the age of the hair, but the wrinkles on the face are still accurate, but the same old man, this one has obviously always been pampered, much better than Balve's skin, ruddy and shiny.

"I guess you're the Lord Gogi Downsting." Arrogant didn't wait for the other party to continue to speak, and directly came out with this sentence, he didn't want to waste time on unnecessary politeness and temptation. Of course, he didn't guess rashly, the facial features of the old Gogi Downs and the little Goge Downs were already five or six points similar, otherwise the green-collar mage would not have recognized his identity that day. As for saying that the other party may be disguised, of course, Arrogant has also taken it into account, but playing disguise in front of him, there is really no chance of stealing chickens.

The disguise technique has been circulating in the rivers and lakes of the Middle Earth for thousands of years, and the low-end disguise technique is to disguise, powder, and wipe the face, this kind of disguise can be confused, and it can't stand the right eyes, and a better disguise will use fake facial features, if it is handmade, it is not easy to have problems if you look closely, but it can only partially change the facial features, and the strength of the makeover is not enough. High-end disfigurement is naturally the use of a variety of full-face skin, the top skin face is indeed difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, but although the pores on the human skin are very slight, they can breathe, and the best skin face is also smeared with a lot of drugs in order to preserve, even if the hair is complete, it is not breathable to wear on the face, so as long as you use the sense of qi to explore, the skin face must have nothing to hide.

The woman neither admitted nor denied it, but asked, "Why does Sir think that my father is Lord Goggie Downsting?"

Ao Zongheng rolled his eyes before he said, "Didn't anyone say that you two fathers and sons look quite alike? I only know that Captain Gogitangs has a knighted father in the king, and since you are old and look quite similar, it should be you." ”

The woman's expression froze instantly, and she remembered Gabrio's letter, saying that the mage had passed by little Gogi Tangs, but she didn't expect the other party to have such a good memory.

Tingjue's reaction was much more natural and decent than that of his daughter, "Sir is very observant and has a good memory. ”

Arrogant didn't accept this kind of empty talk, and naturally asked, "What do you want to say when Tingjue came to see me?"

Tingjue didn't know if he was old or well-educated, his expression didn't change when he heard this, his daughter couldn't bear it, not to mention that my father was an important minister of the three dynasties of the royal family, just because he saved your life last night, don't you appreciate that Dade is so rude?

"This chick is very lame, let me meet her." The Ringwrath was quite unhappy with the female Gogi Downs, and was eager to ask for battle, but of course Arrogant would not let her do it—wouldn't this be a pure trouble, and I still want to leave as soon as possible.

"Savior, do you think you saved me yesterday?"

"Isn't it?, or is the gentleman going to deny it after he escapes?"

It was only then that Ao Zongheng really glanced at her.

Arrogant doesn't know what Lauren Magaga's aesthetic standards for women are, but he thinks that women's pride often comes from a high degree of confidence in their appearance and family power, so this woman with orange wavy curly hair, blue pupils in the lake, and a pointed chin and ears should be regarded as a beauty in this world, but this kind of beauty and arrogance don't know how to appreciate it, and those so-called stunning beauties in Middle-earth are not tempted by themselves, what else is so good about this exotic beauty?

Ao Zongheng didn't reply to her words, but smiled slightly, and the big and small Gogetangs didn't understand why this person was laughing, and suddenly there was a loud bang behind him, which pressed the stone mill that was more than two hundred catties in the tunnel, and the whole flew up, hit the roof of the mill, and fell to the ground again. An old man and a young subconsciously looked back, but they were speechless by the shock--the arrogant who had been sitting cross-legged on the bed in front of them before, was still in front of them at the moment, and we obviously turned around? The guards at the entrance of the cave were startled and were about to pounce down, but they were stopped by the court lord who came back to his senses.

"Do you think I really need you to save me?"

Little Gogeitdowns bit his lip, as if he wanted to refute, but he didn't say anything after all—even fools could see that with their incredible strength and movement speed, they really didn't need them to easily get out of front of the royal guards.

However, little Gogeitdowns is not only proud of her beauty, but her wisdom is also an important reason for her suitors, and after only two hesitations, she spoke: "Of course, Sir doesn't need us to save him now, but didn't you fall under the attack of Divine Thoughts last night?

She thought that pointing out this was enough to make Ao Zongheng speechless, but she didn't expect the guy to smile again, but said: "It turns out that last night's attack was a divine thought attack, and it finally solved my confusion, I thank you here." Without waiting for the other party to speak, he continued: "But maybe you don't believe it, even if you didn't show up last night, I was still able to get out, but you are more or less kind of helping me, which is why I am still here now, otherwise, why do you think I wasted so much time to stay?"

Little Gogi Tangs opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Tingjue waved his hand to stop her, "No need to say Jiawen anymore, Mr. is right", but he changed his words and said: "But has Sir ever thought that you have made such a big splash in Dowenma City, why don't you know anything about it with the well-informed people who have no mouth?"

"I haven't thought about it, what is a mouthless person?" asked arrogantly without hesitation.

In an instant, the chamber seemed to be filled with an atmosphere called awkwardness.
