The fourteenth day of the birth god month.

Kingdom of Miredang, Upper Kangao County, north of the city of Ganishin, national highway.

The county of Upper Kangao is located in the south-central part of the kingdom of Miredang, with the county of Ferran Valley to the northwest and the county of West Gagawa to the northeast. Like many places on the continent of Pleuz, it gets its name from the most famous natural landmark in its territory, the Kangau River.

The Kangao River is not far from the most famous Shan Don River in the Miledan Kingdom, but why can the Kang Gao River be named after the county, but there is no Shanton County?

Most of the men of the world of Proz are good drinkers, and their passion for wine may be greater than the need for women, regardless of status, even the kings of a country. It's just that most people buy wine and make wine by themselves, rich aristocrats build a winery, and the king of a country takes an entire wine-producing area as his exclusive private property. For example, the current Emperor Silin has no less than five imperial wine-producing areas.

Saying all this, I just want to tell you that Shangkangao County is the wine production area used by the king of the Miledang Kingdom, and it is also one of the five king's direct territories outside the royal capital.

Ao Zongheng is undoubtedly a good drinker, but he spent seven days and hundreds of taekwons from Xina Sakai to get here, not for the sake here.

Ao Zhu believes that Liuhuo Erchen is secretly imprisoned in one of the king's domains outside the royal capital, well, it should be in Shangkangao County.

Among the three foreign royal realms, Kanggao County is actually the closest to the empire, don't look at the seven days that Ao Zongheng came here for seven days, if it wasn't for taking care of the old and weak three, he would only need half the time at most. It is said that such a close distance is very unsafe, but one Sakai of the empire is the size of more than a dozen counties in the kingdom, and these distant counties are not an obstacle to the imperial army at all, and only if the imperial army cannot find the location of the emperor, it can be considered safe.

Shangkangao County is divided into two parts of the east bank and the west bank by the Kangao River obliquely, the terrain is gentle, not to mention almost all agricultural land, this kind of place is not a strategic place at all, so the king did not even build a castle here, and there are very few garrisons on weekdays. It is said that many people here were ready to surrender as soon as the Imperial Army arrived, and continued to farm and brew in peace.

Such a place is not an ideal choice for such an important prisoner to be held by Hip See, but arrogantly feels that Hip Commander will be locked up here.

Arrogant has seen the terrible power of the empire, in this kingdom, the empire's spies are not a thousand afraid but also eight hundred, but these spies may be scattered in the royal capital, will be scattered on the front line, and will be scattered in various strategic places, but no one will put the spies in a place where they will only bury their heads in farming and making wine, ready to surrender at any time, and the geographical location is insignificant. But because of this, the risk of being found out by the spies is even lower.

Although Ao Zongheng is very confident in his intuition, but intuition is intuition after all, even if he is really in Shangkanggao County, it is still difficult to find his specific detention location, so Ao Zongheng has to go to Ganishen City.

The city of Ganishin is the county seat of Shangkangao County. The county is almost always the most prosperous and lively place in the county, and it is also a place with frequent traffic, which is the most conducive to inquiring about news, and Ganishen City is no exception.

Fei Lin and Bao Lin are from noble backgrounds, needless to say, the conditions of education must be very good, for the Nangalen language, which is mainly used here in the kingdom of Miledan, it is not very difficult for the two to communicate, but their accents are really obvious, it is easy to expose the identity of the subjects of the empire, in order to avoid getting into trouble, since entering the territory of the kingdom, they either hide in the wagon or in the room of the hotel, and even occasionally talk to keep their volume down.

Therefore, the responsibility of investigation can only fall on Aozhu and Doudolly.

From the very beginning, he didn't expect the three of them to help, after all, this level of secrets is definitely not something that can be found in taverns and restaurants, and if you want to get the news as soon as possible, you have to find the right person.

Same day, night, earth one.

Shangkangao County is under the direct jurisdiction of the king, and there is no county magistrate, but after all, it is impossible for the king to personally manage here, so although there is no county magistrate here, there is a county magistrate.

The full name of the county magistrate is the acting county magistrate authorized by the king, in addition to the fact that the money does not go into his own pocket and the army does not obey his command, the power of the king to authorize the appointment of the county magistrate is actually not small, at least greater than the head of the Great Bogar Empire, which has a similar status, and compared with the hundreds of heads of the empire, there are only six county magistrates on the side of the kingdom of Miletang, and those who can sit in this position are naturally not bad with the king. Therefore, if Liuhuo Er's detainement was held here, he should have known about it somewhat.

After all, the county magistrates were not vassals, and they did not have their own castles, so they almost all lived in the mansions of the county governors.

The same goes for Den-Lear.

Den Lear is a cousin of the current King of Miletan, Simolete, and since he is a cousin, he is more or less a nobleman - of course a court nobleman without a fief. King Simolet trusted this cousin and appointed him as the magistrate of the county of Upper Kangao.

Located in the north of the center of Nishin, the county magistrate's mansion is the best and liveliest part of the city during the day, and at night, the county magistrate often holds a grand banquet to entertain friends and the city's wealthy.

Even if it's a lively banquet, it's time to rest.

Den Lear's bedroom was not hard to find, and Ao Yue could not even catch a slave to lock his place - the three-story mansion, in the middle of the entire second floor, only two people were breathing, one in a large oval room, the other was not far apart, but the room was much smaller, and it was not very clear who was the master and who was the servant?

After making sure that there were no awake people in the entire mansion, he sealed off the servant's acupuncture in the small room before entering Denliar's room.

Deng Lear was obviously asleep, but he didn't make a snoring sound, judging from this breath, he was even a little weak, presumably this person who indulged in wine on weekdays and had hurt his body, such a person, would not sleep too well,

"Get up, Lieutenant de Lear. Proud believes that this volume is enough to wake up a person who is not sleeping deeply.

As he expected, the man on the bed was awakened.

"Who is it?!" the man subconsciously asked, his voice sharp, not the kind that became sharp because of extreme panic, but the kind of sharpness that women are born with.

About a quarter of the walls of the room had huge windows, and although the windows were not completely transparent, they were large enough for Ao Zongheng to see the face of the man on the bed.

It was not Count Den Lear who was awakened, but a woman.

"Where's Den-Lear?" the woman undoubtedly belonged to Den-Lear, and she should know where he went.

"He, Count Denlear, he is out hunting, not in the city. The woman was stunned for a moment before answering.

Winter has passed, the snowfall has long stopped, places like Shangkangao County, most places have begun to melt snow, the earth has rejuvenated, the animals have awakened, and the migrating back is the most active time, and it is naturally a good time for people to hunt. A hunt like these nobles often takes three or four days or more, and it seems that tonight is going to be a trip for nothing.

With his arrogant personality, he never blames others for his own experiences, nor does he vent his unhappiness on irrelevant people, so he plans to leave.

The woman couldn't see the arrogant appearance, she could only barely see the other side of the bedroom, there was a vague outline, which of course added more weight to the fear in her heart, but seeing that this silhouette had not been approaching her meaning, she relaxed a little.

But the outline suddenly asked a question that seemed simple and puzzling to her.

"Is this the bedroom of Lord Den Lear?"

"When, of course, this is his bedroom. The woman replied without hesitation.

"Then you are Lieutenant de Lear, of course. ”

"Why, how is it possible, can't you see that I'm a woman? I'm just a poor woman he's been taking a fancy to lately. The woman pleaded loudly, angry at being misunderstood.

"Really, then why is it that Count Den Lear's room is full of women's clothes, but not a single man's clothes?"

The woman, who seemed very angry just now, suddenly quieted down, and whoever told such a lie and was exposed would probably be similar to her.

She didn't understand why she could find that the two huge wardrobes were full of women's clothes, when there were only one or two pajamas in the room? But she understood that when the other party could say this, she would be irresponsible for her own life if she wanted to lie and fool her around.

"Well, I'm Lieutenant Lear. Who are you?" The woman who was still frightened just now seemed to be a different person in an instant, upright, calm and serious.

This woman is indeed not simple.

However, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is cowardly or strong, in the face of arrogant means, the difference is only the length of time. Therefore, when Ao Zongheng returned to the hotel, the time was less than Tusan, and a considerable part of that time was spent thinking about what to do with Count Den Lear.

Ao Zongheng will have to stay in Shangkangao County in the short term, and he certainly can't let this woman continue to be her county magistrate, which will only add uncertainty and obstacles to the plan to rescue him, so he must make sure that the female dechess does not reveal his secret before successfully rescuing him and leaving.
