Chapter 161: Missing for No Reason
"I just saw it, and at parting, I gave Selsey a small piece of parchment. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info" Alan whispered. He stared intently at the torches in the hands of the retreating guards.
The sky was gray like a black cloth with a small hole, and the moonlight kept squeezing in through the small hole, and the night was approaching, and the faces of the two looked a little tired.
Kenny rested his hand on the black steel sword, the beard on his resolute face hadn't been trimmed in a long time.
He never allowed his servants to touch his beard, and he didn't bother to tidy them up himself, and Nina wasn't around, they were like a bunch of weeds, and they were still growing wildly.
Alan scratched his nose. "What's written on that?" he said, "about the vicious plan that the Bad Tongue Man came up with?" man, you don't have to tell Sersi all this, I didn't plan to burn Winnie and want her to stay as much as you do, but Wilson had to catch him, and if he was still alive, even if Barton was dead, those old nobles would still be a big problem for us, trust me, it's all right. ”
"Only the god Namu knows right from wrong. Kenny sighed, "You know Wilson?" he squinted at his brother beside him, "What if Winnie and Alice were just two outcasts? Man, that's not acting, if Wilson hadn't shown up, the fire would have kept burning until it had charred them both until Selsey knew all about it and would have wrung your neck off, or something worse....."
"He already knows. Alan sneered, "That parchment must be clearly written, this plan came from the hands of the new Chancellor of the Exchequer in Nippur, the Foul-tongued Ponytail Knight, and the firewood was prepared by him, as was the execution ground." ”
They turned a corner and entered another corridor that connected to the Great Hall, where a figure approached them.
"Lord, Lord Allen, Captain. An older guard greeted him.
"Why are you?" Alan looked at the somewhat familiar guards in front of him and wondered, "Aren't you, should you be stationed in the west of the city.....?"
"Neo, the newly appointed deputy captain of the Guard. Kenny introduced, "He's Lawrence's most trusted knight, and he just finished befriending today, and now, the entire Guard is all from the First Continent, and that's what that parchment says, and I'm worried that Sersi will mind, so I wrote a handwritten letter." Man, that's not a complaint. ”
"Wise decision. Alan nodded, "Did you find anyone?"
"A detachment has just turned the city of Nipur upside down, large and small inns, taverns, and even fishing boats, and the places where people can hide are basically searched, but there is still no whereabouts of Miss Shelley. Neo replied.
"Where's the Folk House?" Alan frowned, "and the Chamber of Commerce, and the Wandering Knight Order, is it possible for them to hold Shelley hostage?"
"Unlikely. Kenny pinched his messy beard, "They're just in Nipur, and few have seen them before, and even if they do, those guys won't know about her relationship with us, and no one would be stupid enough to take an unidentified hostage." ”
"What about Alice?" Alan looked a little uneasy, "she must have lied, she knocked Aiden unconscious at the blacksmith!"
"She's not lying, man, she confessed to knocking Aiden unconscious at the blacksmith. Kenny added.
"Damn it....." Alan cursed resentfully, "where did she go?"
"Don't worry, at least we didn't find her body, which is good news. Kenny relieved, then looked at Neo, "Did the news get out?"
"The notice has been posted, in your name. Neo replied, "I have assigned another hundred guards to be disguised to discuss the matter in the inns and taverns of the city. Just now, nearly ten Guards came to report that someone had paid for the news, and it seemed that it was more effective than a notice, and those guys were more willing to believe the news that they had paid for. ”
"Good job!" Kenny applauded, "what about the people who buy the news?"
"I've already sent someone to keep an eye on it. Neo looked up, "So far, three people have come back to their lives, and they are all the eyes of the nobles in the city. ”
"Lawrence should have promoted you to be his lieutenant, you're smarter than I thought!" Kenny said again.
"Your Excellency. Neo bowed his head, "Commander Lawrence said that being smart is not a good thing, and that a wasteland soldier only needs to be brave. ”
"He's such a stubborn antique!" Kenny smiled, "Go down and let the team continue the search, with the main city as the center, a half-day radius and expand the area to the surrounding towns and the knight-hire cabins in the forest." ”
"Yes, my lord. With that, Neo turned and walked into the night.
Alan exhaled deeply. He wondered why Shelley had disappeared for no apparent reason, but the sound of footsteps in the silence of the night distracted him a little, and he couldn't calm down to think.
They turned another corner, and the great hall was so close that he stopped abruptly and stopped beside a cluster of heather.
"What's wrong?" Kenny asked, pausing and turning back.
"I've got to go to the jail, they must know something, that damn Alice must have lied, she must know where Shelley is!" Alan said vaguely, walking in the other direction, only to be stopped by Kenny.
"Old Hyde has been waiting for us for ten hours, and he has been in the Great Hall of Councils, and has not even eaten dinner. Kenny said.
Alan struggled to contain his frustration as he lifted his chin at Kenny, who was full of seriousness, "Listen, man, I'm not talking to you, I've got to go to jail, you deal with the red-nosed baron, I don't want to waste any more time listening to him retell those long, useless reports!"
"But this time he's looking for you. Kenny frowned, "It must be about money, you're the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Nippur, and the person who came to report said that he was going to build the old road south of the city, and lay those damn mud bricks with bluestone bricks, and you had to look at those long, useless budgets, and I wasn't talking to you." ”
"Damn it, let him come to the prison to find me!, bring all that annoying budget with him!" Alan said, pushing Kenny's hand away, turning and walking into the night.
"Lord Ellen, are you here?" In the darkness, a man curled up with his hands in his way to block Alan's way.
"I've been waiting for you, and it's a great pleasure that you and Lord Lords have captured two witches!" he took two steps forward, a large red nose printed on the campfire on the edge of the wall, "I've already made a budget for the road repairs in Nancheng District, and there are some details I would like to discuss with you." Excuse me, do you have time now?"
"No!" Alan replied unsurprisingly.
But this matter is imminent, and it is also related to the issue of slum redevelopment that Chief Selsi is concerned about. Old Hyde looked up and pouted. (To be continued.) )
