The carriage walked on the flat road, making a slight noise, Custer raised his head, looked at the dark carriage in front of them with a puzzled face, since the agreement with Yulian was made, the men finally put their minds at ease, regained their status as squires and abandoned their unruly merchant disguises, and began to swagger to protect their little young master on the road. And Custer is not an idiot, of course he sees through this, and understands that he is really the wrong person this time. But what can I do now? Isn't it just a matter of following them?

At this moment, the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely tense.

"What do you mean by that? Mr. Yuren?"

The man clenched the long sword in his hand and asked with a dissatisfied face.

That's what I mean literally. ”

Yuren sat on a soft, comfortable chair and raised his eyelids to look at the man in front of him.

"Before you are safely delivered to your destination, I ask you to obey my orders and not to violate them, otherwise I will tear up the agreement, how about it?

"Why!?"

"Because you are so incompetent. ”

The man's question had only blurted out in less than two seconds, and Yu Lian gave a quick answer, and it was a categorical and unquestionable answer.

"I think you should know better than I do that this escort operation is a very important operation, but after listening to your performance, I don't think you will be able to complete this mission. ”

"We are the old patriarch's henchmen!"

The man clenched his fists and roared in a low voice, he felt insulted, he had been a guard for the old patriarch for so many years, and he had never been called incompetent!

"So what?"

In the face of the hostility exuded by the man, Yulian remained silent, he knew that the situation had been in his own hands since the moment the carriage traveled, which is why he dared to make such a bold request. What can they do now? The little young master they want to protect is sitting in the carriage behind him, surrounded by Yulian's soldiers (at least on the surface, Yulian's flag), can they still turn their faces and escape? But then again, from before they set off until now, these guys have not even considered this kind of problem, and they are really worthy of Yulian's "incompetent" evaluation.

"Let me guess, you are the personal guards of the old patriarch? So it has always been what the old patriarch says, what do you do, right? Have you ever planned a similar operation on your own? Have you acted on your own terms? Do you know how to deal with other nobles?"

"The will of the old patriarch is our will. ”

The man clenched his fists and replied in a low voice.

"Everything we have is dedicated to the old patriarch, and we will only do what the old patriarch tells us to do! We only obey the orders of the old patriarch, and as for the other nobles, they are nothing at all. ”

Foolish idiots.

"What's the matter? Now that you are few in number, and the situation is unfavorable, how could you be forced to come here?

"This............ But you're not ..............."

Hearing this, the man's old face turned red.

"Please don't forget that the reason I chose to help you is because we have a deal. As both parties to the transaction, we have an obligation to protect each other's interests. I don't want your recklessness to lead to the loss of your work. And as far as I've seen so far, you don't have the strength to reassure me, so I ask that you do what I tell you to do, and if you don't, then we'll have to break up. ”

This time Yu Lian didn't use his best and proud hints, the other party's brain is almost full of muscles, the so-called seeing people and talking about people and talking nonsense, in the face of this kind of idiot who almost doesn't use his brains, it is easy to simply explain it directly. If he hides it, when the time comes, he will be used by the other party to "figure out" something self-righteous with his extremely low IQ, and if he overturns in the gutter, he will be laughed at by O'Farel.

After listening to You Lian's unceremonious words, the man's face was also red and blue, and he didn't know what to say, but in the end, he still hesitated to ask.

"So, what do you want us to do?"

"You don't need to do anything other than protect that little master. ”

In the face of the man's inquiry, Yulian waved his hand.

"You have only one task, which is to protect the safety of that young master, and I don't need your intervention in anything else. ”

“.....................”

This condition is not not harsh, even a person who has no brains can hear the toughness and problems in it, the man frowned, he opened his mouth, obviously unwilling to accept the deal. After all, although they were a little dumbfounded, the old patriarch's orders were still written down, asking them to protect the little young master from being harmed by those unscrupulous people. To be honest, along the way, they have encountered a lot of "bad people", but in their impression, those people have any conspiracy hidden in their hearts, and they are very good to them on the surface. But this young lord was so ruthless as soon as he came up, although what he said was very hurtful, but for everyone who had eaten too many sugar-coated shells along the way, they felt that such a person was easy to trust. After all, if he really wanted to plot against himself, he shouldn't have put on such a torn face, right?

"Okay, I got it. ”

"You are not allowed to go anywhere, even in the hotel, without my orders. ”

"This ..............."

The man's face was embarrassed again, they were okay to say, they were afraid that the little young master would not agree, but thinking of the old patriarch's commission, he still nodded.

"No problem. ”

"I don't send it. ”

Hearing this, Yulian didn't say anything more, just made a gesture, and then the man nodded helplessly, and then left Yulian's carriage. With their status, they were not qualified to sit in the same carriage with the nobles, and if it wasn't for something to discuss privately with the other party, Yulian would not have invited him up.

"My lord, aren't these people very powerful?"

Watching the man's back disappear, Ofarir, who had been sitting silently beside Yuren, suddenly asked.

"Oh?"

Hearing Ofaryl's inquiry, You Lian turned his head to look at her with some curiosity, he clearly remembered that a few days ago, this princess could not even distinguish between low-level and middle-rank high-level knights or something, could it be that he had learned to read people now?

"How do you know?"

"I guess. ”

In the face of Yuren's question, Ofaryl lowered her head, her face slightly red. After all, this is not her familiar territory, and she is only guessing. However, after feeling Yulian's tentative gaze, the girl coughed lightly, raised her head again, and returned to her original calm and serious expression.

"From what I've observed, these people don't have any political acumen at all, but, not to mention whether everyone in the Zack family is like this, the Bird family will never let go of such a good opportunity to contain the rival family. Through that Viscount Juventus Bird, we still have some knowledge of the power and brains of the Bird family. If the Bode family really wants to use intrigue to keep them, it is not impossible. However, these people still escaped, and with the style of the Byrd family and the ......... of these people In the first place, it is unlikely that anything will be revealed before the plan is implemented. Then, there is only one possibility, and that is to turn around after the Bird family has implemented the plan and is fully prepared to arrange everything. But these people still fled from their hands, which can only show that these people have quite strong power. ”

In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are meaningless. And in the face of absolute stratagem, no matter how powerful the force is, it is useless. This is a question that will never be solved, after all, there is no absolute power in this world, and there is no absolute strategy, everything is relative.

"That's a good guess. ”

After listening to Ofariel's speculation, Yuren smiled and nodded, and then he looked out the window and narrowed his eyes.

"That man is a high-level median. ”

"Advanced Intermediate ..............."

Hearing this, Ofariel still covered her mouth in surprise, although she also guessed that these people must be very powerful, but how to divide the ranks, this is still quite a difficult thing for Ofariel, who has never participated in a battle, and after Yulian said the answer, she immediately mobilized the intelligence information in her mind, and then quickly made a comparison.

"That's not ......... with Dallus"

Although in the battle with Yuren, Daros did not show the strength that a high-level swordsman should have at all, after all, the gap between a knight and a swordsman is not a star and a half, but even so, it still brought great pressure to Ofaril, after all, she is a princess who grew up in a peaceful era, and has never seen any real battles, although Daros did not make much of a move, but his momentum is deeply remembered by Ofaril, and now Yulian actually said that there is a high-level swordsman here, no wonder she was surprised, but the next moment, Ofaril immediately had questions。

"If he has such a high level of strength, why is he willing to be imprisoned in a dungeon by us? With his strength, it is not a problem to escape from here. ”

Indeed, although the strength of those garrison soldiers is not bad, they are still one in the sky and one in the earth compared to the high-level swordsmen, and when they intercept these people's carriages, if the high-level swordsman makes a move, he can not send them away?

"The soul power on his body is not obvious, and he is a little weak, he must have suffered a secret loss in the Bird family, with his current strength, it is almost the same to have a middle-level upper position, and his current situation is the most taboo to do it with people, in case he uses soul power to act strongly, it is very likely to cause soul damage, and at that time, it will weaken his strength and fall back to the middle level directly, and he will become an idiot......... Although I don't think he's much different from an idiot right now. ”

Yu Lian quickly explained to O'Fariel, as early as when they met, Yu Lian had noticed that the soul power on the other party's body had abnormal fluctuations, and now that he already knew the other party's life experience, he naturally guessed the ins and outs of the whole thing.

"What's more, with such a small oil bottle in their hands, they can't run too far if they want to, we have a chance. ”

Hearing this, Offariel finally completely relieved her heart, she originally had some doubts in her heart, how could such a brainless person be accepted by the patriarch of a family as a personal guard, after all, the ability of a person who can sit in the position of patriarch should not be bad, would it be a little too abnormal to find such a guy as a personal guard. And now that he listened to Yuren's explanation, Ofariel was at ease. It seems that this man is also a strong thug, after all, it is difficult to find such a loyal, honest (or stupid) person with such great power, if he is just an ordinary swordsman, with his performance, it is impossible to get into such a position.

But...............

"Your Excellency, you have to be careful, don't be dragged into the water by them?"

If the patriarch they were loyal to knew what their "loyal and honest" guards had done, he would probably be so angry that he vomited blood and passed out, and perhaps he would reflect on his decision-making mistakes. But now, there are no regret pills to sell. It's not just the sinister and cunning who can be a threat, and sometimes those who seem loyal and honest can have the same effect.

"Don't worry about this, I'm free to measure. ”

Saying this, the two looked at each other and couldn't help but smile at each other.

However, what Yulian didn't expect was that those Zack family guards hadn't poked any baskets out of themselves, but the princess in front of her had caused herself a lot of trouble.
