Sunset.

The bright red light enveloped the earth, dyeing the vibrant green grassland into a bright red color, and the warm, moist smell of earth and fresh grass came to the nostrils, which made people's minds much clearer. Yulian retracted his gaze and looked at Ofaril, who was sitting across from him, reading a book in his hand, and couldn't help but smile. Obviously, Her Royal Highness the former princess doesn't seem to have adapted to traveling in such a harsh environment, although her ** is not really flesh and blood, but she still shows a little fatigue under such a rush.

"My lord, you're about to reach your destination. ”

Custer's voice came from outside the carriage, and Yuren thought for a moment, then nodded.

"I see. ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Hearing this, Custer immediately slowed down the speed of the carriage, Yulian raised his head, and inadvertently looked at the dirty wooden sign on the side of the road, only to see that the triangular road sign used to indicate the direction was engraved with two big black characters of Luo Ya, under the wind and rain for a long time, it was already a little blurry, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it clearly.

As the central city of the territory, the prosperity of Roya is naturally not comparable to that of a small border town. With the advance of the people, the originally deserted road gradually became lively, among them were peasants who drove the carriage out of the city and returned to their villages, there were also adventurers with weapons, and some merchants, with their goods were being inspected at the city gate, it was already evening, and there were many people who wanted to leave and wanted to enter the city, after all, if there was a delay in time, and the city would be closed at night, then they would not be able to leave.

Seeing the oncoming carriage, the guards in charge of guarding the city gate hurriedly waved to stop it, although from the appearance, this carriage should be a noble thing, but the family crest on it is a style that has never been seen before, so they are not afraid, after all, this is the territory of the Zack family, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, no matter who the other party is, in the territory of the Zack family, it should always be low-key.

"Who are you, and what is the matter with coming to Loya City?"

That being said, on the surface, it is still necessary to respect it.

"We are from the Twilight Forest. ”

At Yuren's motion, Custer immediately spoke the words that had been prepared for a long time.

"I'm just passing through your land and looking for a place to rest, so I don't think it will bother you. ”

"This............ Of course not. ”

Covertly taking a few gold coins from Custer, the guard hesitated, the other party spoke neither humble nor arrogant, obviously not a master to mess with, and they did not say their family name, but only said that they were from the Twilight Forest......... Twilight Forest? Isn't that the territory of the Birds? Could it be that these guys are from the Birds?

Thinking of this, the guard's heart sank slightly, although there was no grudge between the Bird family and the Zack family, it was not a good relationship. In terms of the golden trade route, both families occupy a large share. But the Bird family occupies the best part, while the Zach family has a relatively small income. Because of this, although there is no particularly big friction between the two families, it is not a harmonious relationship, and now the people of the Bird family have run to the territory of the Zack family, what are they planning to do?

Suspicion is suspicion, but they didn't show it on the face, after all, there are so many people at the city gate, and losing their temper will lose the face of the Zach family. If it was a normal day, then these guards really didn't care about this kind of thing, and took the opportunity to repair the Bird family guys and let them know that they knew that they were powerful. But now, there are some problems within the Zack family, and although they don't know what the problem is, these guards also understand from the frequent transfer of personnel that there are some problems within the family at present, and at this time, what they have to do is not to let themselves not become pawns that are sacrificed in it.

"You can go in. ”

Thinking of this, the guards glanced at each other, then moved out of the way and let the carriage enter. And just as the last carriage passed by them, suddenly the curtain that had been lowered was raised, and then a childish little face appeared by the window, looking at the guard.

"Huh?"

The guards were stunned when they saw this face, but before they could react, the carriage had disappeared at the end of the street and disappeared.

"What to do, Captain?"

Looking at the direction in which the carriage disappeared, several guards looked solemn. And the head guard did not hesitate and quickly made a decision.

"I'll go back at once and report it to my superiors, and you go and see where those people have gone, and come back and report to me as soon as you find out. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Hearing this, the remaining guards saluted him, but did not leave immediately.

"However, I seem to have seen the young master in that carriage just now........."

"Don't talk nonsense about this. ”

Hearing everyone's whispered talk, the captain of the guard's face sank.

"I'll go back and report right away, and now I'll go on your mission right away, remember, don't let the other person notice, understand?"

Seeing the captain's serious expression, the guards also sensed the seriousness of the matter, and they didn't say anything more, but immediately nodded, and then turned to leave. After seeing all his men scattered, the captain of the guard took a long breath of cold air, and then he ordered a horse to be led, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

This matter must be reported to the authorities immediately!

It was no secret that Yulian and them entered the city, coupled with the report of the captain of the guard, and in a short time, almost all the noble forces in the entire Luoya City, large and small, already knew about Yulian's arrival. It's no surprise that many of them have been gathering information in other cities in their territory, so not long after Yuren revealed his skills, these nobles already knew that a high-ranking swordsman and a member of the royal family had come to Zack's territory. As for the identities of these people, the nobles also quickly investigated and got the answer, and then, their reactions were basically no different from what Yu Lian expected. No one would believe that the Bird family would choose to cheat a high-ranking swordsman out of his territory, and then give him a noble fief where birds don't lay eggs?

But in the same way, Yu Lian's intentions are naturally unclear to them, but after all, the other party is a high-level swordsman, and there are members of the royal family accompanying him, no matter what, it is always good to have a good relationship. Moreover, according to reliable sources, this high-ranking swordsman is a descendant of a fallen nobleman, not a member of the Bird family, and the other nobles can be regarded as seeing the light of day. Since the two sides are not related by blood, it means that it is impossible for this high-level swordsman to be dead set on the Bird family, not to mention that he is still so young, there is always a possibility of winning over. If it succeeds, then it is equivalent to adding a good boost to your family. Such a broken place in the twilight forest, what is it that people can see? If the other party is really willing to come, let alone the noble fief, even if he really divides a piece from his own territory and gives it to him, it is worth it!

While the nobles were acting for their own little calculations, Yulian and the others had already found a relatively good hotel to live in, which was an inn called Moonlight Sound, although its decoration was acceptable, but it was far away from the central area, close to the civilian area. As you can imagine, the inns themselves in such places will not be of much high quality.

"Lord Yuren, we don't need to live in a place like this at all. ”

Pushing open the door, looking at the noisy scene inside and the dancing girls with bare breasts and buttocks, Custer was slightly uneasy. As a soldier, he naturally knows which places belong to the "crime-prone zone", such as the area near the junction of the aristocratic district and the civilian area, no matter what city it is, it has always been the area that the garrison pays the most attention to, and the arrival of Yulian and the others naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the hotel, especially after seeing Yulian and the beautiful Ofaril in aristocratic clothes, many people's eyes were mixed with a malicious smile.

"How about we switch stores?"

"No, it's fine here. ”

Julien shook his head in the face of Custer's offer, and then he led Ofariel into the inn, and by this time, the innkeeper had already greeted him with a smile on his face, obviously excited that his inn would have such a distinguished guest.

"Distinguished guests, welcome to all of you, may I ask you to .........?"

"Stay. ”

Yulian interrupted the shopkeeper's inquiry, and then he raised his hand, and a bag of gold coins landed on the counter beside the shopkeeper.

"I want the best floor, the best room, all of them, give you an hour to clean up and interrupt, it shouldn't be a problem. ”

"Of course not!"

Seeing that You Lian was so generous, the shopkeeper immediately squinted his eyes with a smile, he took the money bag, then quickly grabbed the waiter next to him, and after a few words, he drove him away, and then showed a warm smile and made a gesture to everyone.

"It's a bit cluttered here, it's not for you to wait for a long time, so please come with me to the reception room at the back and wait a while, and I'll prepare your room for you right away." ”

"That's probably enough. ”

Just when You Lian walked to the shopkeeper's side, he suddenly asked without a clue, and the shopkeeper was also stunned in the face of this strange question, but he was a businessman after all, and quickly adjusted his mood and hid his stupidity.

"Of course it is enough, dear sir, the price you have paid is enough to cover the entire floor, and ......... We'll also prepare the most sumptuous dinner for you, and of course, you won't have to pay any more for it. Speaking of this, the shopkeeper also sneered in his heart, the best dish in their store is only worth one gold coin, and judging from the bag of gold coins in his hand, there are as many as fifty coins, not to mention the next floor, even if it is a small shop, it is almost the same.

"That's fine. ”

Hearing the shopkeeper's answer, Yulian smiled back meaningfully, and then he didn't say anything more, turning and walking in the direction of the reception room. And looking at Yu Lian's back, the shopkeeper still tilted his head in some confusion, from Yu Lian's tone, he seemed to feel a bad premonition, but this uneasiness was immediately left behind him, and soon the shopkeeper turned around and walked upstairs and began to prepare a room for Yu Lian and the others.

And just as everyone left, the hall of the inn immediately boiled.

"Cut, rich people are amazing, look at them like that. ”

"That chick is pretty and beautiful, but I don't know how to work in bed?"

"Hehe, looking at her fine skin and tender meat, I'm afraid I can't stand it for half the night. ”

"It's hard to say, you look at the little nobleman's thin monkey appearance, maybe it's too much consumption in bed. ”

"Hahahaha, it's really not good, uncle, my words, don't talk about that chick, even ten of me will be fine for one night. ”

"Okay, be quiet, idiots, it's not like you haven't seen that young lady's hair, why do you want to die?"

After these words, the people who were still a little presumptuous immediately regained their composure, of course, they did not fail to see the color of O'Fariel's hair, and they could say a kind of inner imbalance mockery, but once the danger involved themselves, these people still knew how to restrain themselves. After all, defaming the royal family is a felony, and sending yourself to prison for the sake of lip service is a bargain.

And at this moment, there were several shadows in the crowd, carefully observing the direction in which You Lian and the others disappeared, they did not make noise like others, but calmly gathered in the corner of the shadows.

"How?"

"The person they brought with them is a young master. ”

"What now?"

"Go back and report to the adults immediately, if something goes wrong, it's too late. ”

After a short conversation, the shadows blended into the crowd and vanished like ghosts.

The shopkeeper's speed is still very fast, Yulian and the others have not finished drinking a cup of tea, he has already prepared the room, of course, the best two rooms are naturally Yulian and Ofariel's, and the next remaining rooms, the second ones are handed over to the Zack family's guards and young masters, as well as Custer and others to choose by themselves.

And just after the room was allocated, Yulian saw the man come up again, and his face was anxious and a little excited.

"My lord, we have already returned to Loa City, why don't we go back to the Zach family immediately? I think that within the family, it will definitely provide us with better protection, and at the moment, this small place will only bring us more danger. ”

"You don't have to worry about it. ”

And in the face of this man, Yu Lian didn't even owe the slightest politeness, since the other party couldn't even reach Custer's IQ level, then any hint would be ineffective, and it would make the most sense to spread it out.

"I've already said I'll bring you back to the Zach family safely, and I'll do it. All you have to do is to obey my commands, and I remember that this has never changed, so you had better do what I say. ”

Hearing Yu Lian's words, the man's face also changed slightly, he opened his mouth, and was about to say something, when he heard a childish voice next to him.

"But big brother, I'm a little scared in a place like this......... I want to go home, I miss my sister. ”

Everyone looked at the voice, and saw that the boy was standing beside the man at the moment, he stretched out his hand, gently pulled the corner of Yulian's clothes, and looked at Yulian in front of him with red eyes.

"Shall we go home? I miss Dad, I want to go home and see them, they are all caught by the bad guys, I want to save them!"

"We will go back. ”

Yulian smiled and stroked the boy's head.

"It's just not now, just wait, we always have a chance. ”

Saying this, Yulian took two steps back, and then waved his hand.

"Okay, you can go back to your room, I think you should also understand that although you are now in the Zach family's sphere of influence, it is still dangerous, if you want to achieve your goals, then obediently follow my orders. ”

Hearing this, the man finally closed his mouth, and then he turned around and walked into their room with the boy. And when the door of their room was closed, Yuren's gaze immediately turned cold and mocking.

"The play is good. ”

"Should I say that kid is too smart, or are those people too stupid?"

O'Faryl sighed softly, not knowing what she was sorry for.

"Yuren-sama, are you ready?"

"Of course. ”

Hearing Ofariel's inquiry, Yuren smiled, and then he leaned in to the girl and whispered in her ear.

"So, don't sleep too well tonight, we have to meet and talk to our seller in detail......... It is a good idea to make a peace treaty now. ”

"Leave it to me. ”

Ofariel's face flushed slightly as she spoke, and she took two steps back, then raised her head again.

"I will definitely have everything you need ready. ”

"Good. ”

Yuren nodded, then he looked at Custer, who was standing next to him, slightly embarrassed.

"I want you to send more men, and you must guard these guys, and don't let them escape, understand?"

"Of course, sir. ”

Faced with Yuren's order, Custer hurriedly bent down.

"I'll do it. ”

It's dark at night.

The noise of the day was completely gone, and the whole city was shrouded in darkness, and the little firelight gradually dimmed and disappeared, leaving only a quiet black night.

Shadows flickered.

A group of black-clothed men silently emerged from the alley, gathered in the dark shadows, and they watched the inn in front of them vigilantly, and whispered.

"How's it going?"

"The target lives in the room on the east side, according to the intelligence, the little master should be in the third room, the adult has an order, don't kill the little master!"

"What about the other two?"

"Just in case, we have to entangle them, that woman is not easy to say, but I heard that the man has the strength of a high-level swordsman. ”

"Hmph, a little hairy boy, rumors are always rumors, just leave it to me to deal with. ”

Hearing the words of the high-ranking swordsman, a man in black burst out with a little essence in his eyes, and seeing his statement, the rest of the people did not speak again, it was obvious that this man in black was their leader.

"Now, let's get into action now, and remember, you must kill them at all costs!

The shadow flickered, then dispersed again like a stream of water, and disappeared.
