There was a knock on the door.

You Lian pushed open the door and walked into the room, the first thing that caught his eye was the boy's slightly nervous face, at this moment he was sitting on the chair, playing with the toys in his hand, seeing You Lian walk in, the boy's eyes flashed a trace of panic, and then he bit his lip hard, put on an indifferent look, and looked at Yu Lian.

"Dear sir, what is the matter with you?"

"I have good news for you. ”

Yuren said, walking forward to the boy's side, then bowed slightly and stretched out his right hand.

"We've negotiated terms with your family, and now it's time for me to send you home......... Master Zack. ”

"I can go home!"

Hearing this, the boy could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, he jumped up suddenly, opened his eyes in surprise, and waved his little hands excitedly.

"You're telling you true, and I can go home?"

"Of course. ”

Yulian raised a frown, then withdrew his right hand and straightened up again.

"Prepare now, we're about to go. ”

"I will, dear sir, and I'll get ready at once!"

The boy nodded vigorously in reply, and then looked around with some confusion, as if looking for something.

"Dear sir, I didn't see my squire, they ........."

"They have already gone back to prepare for your return, and we are responsible for sending you back to the family, please rest assured that with my protection, no one can hurt you. ”

"That's ......... so"

The look of excitement on the boy's face immediately lost a lot, and he sighed imperceptibly, then nodded.

"I understand, dear sir, and I will go and prepare at once. ”

"Very good, I hope you can hurry up, after all, as the saying goes, time is life..."

Seeing that the boy responded, Yulian didn't say anything more, he just turned around and walked out of the room, leaving one last meaningful speech.

When Julien walked out of the room and closed the door, he saw Ofariel standing not far from him with nervousness and uneasiness in his face.

"Are you really sure you want to do this, my lord?"

"Life is always cruel. ”

In the face of Ofariel's answer without the slightest confidence, Yulian just didn't shrug his shoulders.

Of course, not necessarily......... Frankly, it's just a game, a game I love, it's as simple as that. ”

"But ..............."

O'Faryl opened her mouth and looked hesitantly at the door.

"He's just a kid. ”

Infariel then lowered her voice, not knowing whether she was pleading or trying to convince Yuren in front of her.

"In theory, that's true, but for us, he's just a commodity. ”

Yulian stretched out a finger and shook it gently.

"You understand, for us, he has no value and meaning to live, on the contrary, his death will bring us enough benefits, otherwise do you think we have traveled so far and wasted so much time here for what we are doing? Is it just to protect an object that is likely to pose a threat to us in the future? Don't forget, you yourself agreed before, why, when the matter comes, you want to regret it?"

Hearing Yuren's inquiry, O'Faryl opened her mouth, but she didn't say half a word, yes, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it before, and she had already made a decision. For the sake of the interests of Yuren's territory, sacrificing this boy who has nothing to do with himself and others is definitely worth it from the standpoint of interests. But, when it came to the end, Offariel felt himself hesitate for the first time, it was true that the imp was not an innocent and kind fellow, but he was still a child after all, and Yuren was in control of his destiny, and in the face of his lord, that child had no chance of winning at all, in this case, did he really want to do this? Watching this child die in front of him? Just like the squires before him?

For the first time in her life, O'Faryl felt so frightened that she even wondered if she had made a terrible decision.

"I do want to go back on it. ”

"That's why you died alone in a dry well. ”

Hearing Yuren's taunt, Ofariel raised her head in horror, and she looked at the young man in front of her uneasily, her eyes revealing uncontrollable fear.

"You know ........."

"I don't know. ”

Yuren said, waving his hand to interrupt Ofariel's inquiry.

"It's just that from your surname, and then look at your current appearance, you can guess that you can guess that ** is not far from ten. Forget it, it's not something I need to care about, and it's not something you should be concerned about, you should remember who you are before you stop me, Your Highness the Princess?"

Offariel's body shuddered at the question, and she lowered her head.

“.................. Of course, I remember that I am your lord............ Adjutant. ”

"What are the duties of an adjutant?"

"Execute the order of the Governor............ and assist him. ”

"It's good that you know. ”

Saying this, the smile on You Lian's face retracted, and was replaced by a cold and serious expression.

"Now, then, as my master, I have commanded you to carry out your mission, do you have anything else to say?" Miss O'Fariel?"

"I .................. There's nothing to say, I'll go and prepare now. ”

Speaking of this, Ofaril turned around and left the place as if all the strength of his body had been drained.

"What a difficult princess. ”

Looking at Ofaril's distant back, Yulian pursed his lips, and then showed a slightly playful smile.

"But that's what makes it interesting. So......... Go on, it's just the way. ”

When the two carriages left the hotel and headed in the direction of the Zack family, almost all the nobles got the news as soon as possible, and everyone was a little caught off guard by this sudden scene. They originally thought that Yulian would stay here for a while longer, and Luoya City was their territory after all, and the longer Yuren stayed, the more prepared they were, and the more certain they became. But now, the young high-ranking swordsman had apparently made a decision, and he had negotiated with whom? and on what terms? The nobles were speculating, but they could not come up with any answer. In these days, many people, both reformers and orthodoxes, went to Yuren's hotel to negotiate with him. But Yuren doesn't seem to have any intention of trading with anyone, and he doesn't deliberately express his attitude to anyone on either side, nor does he particularly favor the position of one side or the other. Almost everyone came to him on the spur and returned in disappointment. Because of this, many nobles subconsciously thought that Yu Lian was planning to sit on the ground and raise the price in order to obtain enough benefits. But now, they haven't even been fully prepared, and the other party has already set off?

No, that's not the problem, they really don't care if they don't move, but the problem is......... Is Master Zach also in the car?!

If it's in the car, then do you want to do it?!

But until then, even if they do......... What are the chances of success?

All of a sudden, almost the nerves of the large and small forces in the entire Luoya City were tense, and with the competition for the position of the patriarch of the Zach family, many forces have been mastered and infiltrated by the other party, no one knows, whether it is their friends or enemies who are by their side, what if they are stabbed in the back when they are doing it?

The carriage did not encounter any obstacles on the way, in fact, as early as after going out, the members of the Orthodox faction who had received the information had already sent people to isolate all the neighboring streets from martial law to prevent idle people and others from fishing, and this also gave the reformers a rather dangerous signal, at least, what they feared was likely to have happened.

Because there was no hindrance, the carriage soon came to the gate of the Zack family, and the guards guarding the gate had obviously been ordered before, so they did not stop it, and quickly let it go. Then, the carriage drove into the door and stopped in front of a middle-aged man standing with his hands down.

"Welcome, Yuren-sama. ”

The middle-aged man opened the car door, lowered his head and spoke.

"We've been waiting for a long time. ”

Stepping out of the carriage, Yulian glanced meaningfully at the middle-aged man in front of him, then didn't say anything, but turned around and walked to the second carriage, opened the door, and then stretched out his hand.

"Okay, young master, go home. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man clenched his teeth suddenly, he wanted to raise his head and see if the boy in front of him was his young master, but now, as a servant, he could only lower his head, endure his excitement, and take a few steps back. Soon, he saw a small figure jump out of the carriage.

It's Master Zack, and the young master is back!

The man felt the incomparably excited and excited in his heart, he opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, finally, finally this moment, he and the others worked hard, isn't this moment waiting for? The young master is back, so there is no suspense about the succession of the patriarch, and their wish has finally been completed. Even so, the man remembered his duty, and he stood in front of the boy and bent down deeply.

"Welcome back!Master Zack!!"

"Hmm. ”

Unexpectedly, Young Master Zach did not show the excitement he imagined, on the contrary, he just answered, and then stepped out of the carriage and obediently stood beside Yulian.

Little master, what's wrong?

The man had some doubts in his heart, but now was not the time to ask, so he could only reluctantly put away the doubts in his heart, turned around and led everyone towards the inner courtyard.
