Book 929 The first day of the leisurely captivity
Count Mio, who went to the enemy's place alone overnight, was very puzzled by his daughter's choice. He met the 'White Moon Queen' of the White Moon Queen's warband, and also heard his daughter tell her about her, and it was said that she was a real foreign queen.
He didn't believe his daughter's words, thinking that she had been deceived, but considering the strong position of the other party, he, who was an earl, still called 'Her Majesty the Queen', and bowed with the etiquette of a foreign royal family.
The Earl did not save his daughter, because negotiations could not be carried out at all. Ellemy's words didn't actually affect Count Mio to make any decisions, but only gave him a step to become a father. As long as the half-sheep of the oasis are there, it is impossible for him to compromise with the White Moon Queen Warband, and naturally he will not give up this opportunity because of his daughter.
The steps of Ellemi were effective, and the Count pretended to follow his daughter's advice and returned to the Lord's Palace. As soon as I got home, I was dragged by my crying wife and complained.
"You don't care about this kind of political affairs. If you can take a good look at Elemy, she won't get mixed up in the warband, and she won't be caught by those bandits!"
"Political affairs?" the countess was frightened by her husband's words, "this is obviously our family business!"
The Earl ignored his wife, summoned his cronies and went into the chamber and did not come out again. The Countess wanted to save her daughter as soon as possible, but she didn't know how to do it.
When she returned to her room, she began to pack up her belongings with the maid, and sent someone to her mother's house for help. Her maiden family is a rural nobleman, and she also has some war bands under her hands, and she hopes that her family can lend these hands to her temporarily.
"That's all for the jewelry, the gold, and the silverware, ma'am. ”
The little maid has spread the whole bed with valuable things in the house, which looks like a lot, but if you have to cash it out urgently, the value will be greatly reduced.
"If you add private money......
The Countess carried a small, heavy suitcase. Inside are the gold coins that have been saved up on weekdays. She didn't think that the money could hire powerful warriors, even if it was twice as much, she could only hire a mercenary group like the Silver Spear. But they had already been defeated by the bandits who had taken their daughters captive......
"You have to find someone better. ”
When the countess said this, she already had a candidate in mind, and naturally she was invited to the Bright War Group in the courtyard by her own family in the afternoon. It may be difficult to get their team to help, but it is just to convince the head of the regiment Kern......

Early in the morning, Zhou Shu got together with the sick princess to play ghost cards. They're also boring and ruthless. Stuck here, you can't do anything, and you don't have any interesting books to read, so you can only pass the time.
Playing any game with the sick princess can be extremely stressful, especially when it comes to a game that requires good acting skills and insight, such as ghost card drawing, Zhou Shu is at an overwhelming ...... Inferior position.
After losing a few games in a row, he smiled wryly and put away the poker and said to the sick princess: "Well, aren't you going to sleep for a while? ”
"I took a little rest before, but now I'm quite refreshed. If you don't want to play...... "The Sick Princess came up with a more fun time-killing event," or not. Tell me a story, you've seen a lot of interesting stories in your country, haven't you?"
The two sat opposite each other in the hall, with a trapped Countess lying on the side of the floor. She was excitedly watching the whole process when the two were playing poker just now, watching the two of them play cards one by one. Zhou Shu and the sick princess will observe her expression to judge the situation when they are playing, which makes the game content much more complicated and even more unfavorable to Zhou Shu.
"Okay, okay, tell a story. ”
Allermy writhed like a worm on the floor, looking in a good mood.
The sick princess has always liked the stories from her men's mouths. And now there are really no other leisure and entertainment projects, so he can only trouble him to make himself happy.
"Okay, okay. I'd like to think about it and see if there's anything you can understand......"
He said this, but in his heart he was wondering, he could no longer figure out the original purpose of arresting this countess, her storage did not help his family, but now he had an extra light bulb, which hindered his relationship with the eldest lady.
"So be it. I have a detective novel here. You two haven't been exposed to anything like that, have you?"
If you want to say what type of novel can best arouse the reader's reading**, the suspense category bears the brunt. As a variant of suspense, detective novels are a kind of thing that is more difficult to read, and writing detective novels is also a kind of technical work that requires 'ingenuity', which can be regarded as science and engineering in the liberal arts.
This type, which is difficult to read more than once, is a single consumable. Except for a few die-hard fans, most readers will not read it more than twice, and readers can only buy new books by revisiting them, which makes the number of mystery novels very huge. As a relatively niche genre of literature, the number of online bookstores is close to the eternal novel-themed romance category.
Zhou Shu's understanding of mystery novels is relatively paper-based, and he hasn't read much, but he admits that this thing is very suitable for storytelling, but it is a bit of a test of narrative skills.
The story is told very smoothly and is not finished until noon. None of the two ladies in the audience guessed how the criminal committed the crime, and when the answer was revealed, they felt an unprecedented shock, and they never imagined that there would be such a twisted and bizarre story.
Zhou Shu actually didn't expect that the story he told would be so popular. Ordinary mystery novels will not have such an effect, and they will make girls like, probably because they are crimes carried out with feelings as the main line, and they are quite tragic. In addition, the story itself is good, and it is the strongest word-of-mouth work of a best-selling author.
Lunch was made by Marlena, using the ingredients that Zhou Shu and the sick princess bought back yesterday, and it tasted very good, but I don't know if there was any addiction added to it, anyway, Zhou Shu was a little worried when he ate it.
Elmy's ass was still a little painful, and the sick princess couldn't get used to seeing her always lying at her feet, so Zhou Shu gave her a candy. In fact, Zhou Shu had wanted to do this for a long time, but he didn't want to make himself look like a flowery radish who pitied girls too much, so he didn't mention this stubble.
"Miracle medicine!"
After Ellemy ate the jelly beans, the whole person became even more excited, and the Pololl people on the side shook their heads and sighed vigorously when they saw it. They are reluctant. Noraboi, in particular, was a businessman, and he was very sure that that exotic panacea would become priceless with a little hype. Because it's not worth feeding a little girl with such a trivial matter.
Alamy didn't know NoraBoi's and Rogerd's faces, but he had heard of their names. During the meal, everyone came out of the room and greeted each other. This made Alamy puzzled, so he asked for confirmation.
"That's right, it's just the two of us. Roger sighed, and NorraBoi asked spinelessly how the jelly bean felt after eating it.
"That candy...... Isn't it something very precious?"
Pollol jumped out of his voice and spoke with his spoon in his hand, "I was almost killed by someone sent by your father before, and I almost had one breath left. After that, a piece of sugar went down to the stomach, and all kinds of diseases were eliminated, and it was better to fight than before. ”
Alamy: This will have been loosened. Holding the cake that Marlena had baked in his hand, he twisted it on the chair with his ass. I really don't feel the slightest pain.
She hadn't examined the wounds, but she was sure that there were a lot of bruises and bruises, and the hooligans were warriors but showed no mercy. Now that the injury is gone, Elemy looks at the sick princess with gratitude in her eyes, and the person being watched is quietly eating her own food.

The Countess did not sleep all night after her daughter was captured, and went to the Order of Light as soon as it was dawn. Under the curious gaze of a group of rude warriors, he was taken to Kern's tent.
The Illuminati have no money to live in the city, and God knows what their income is used for. The whole group set up a low tent in a clearing on the outskirts. I slept in it at night, and I usually wandered around the camp, and set up a large number of long tables and chairs in the open space, which seemed to be borrowed from others, and I didn't cherish them very much.
Kern's armor was enough to buy half a street, the Countess was sure. When I met the regimental commander. She still thinks that this person is a good match for her daughter.
"I've heard about Ling Yan, and Madame must have come here for this. ”
The Countess was grateful that the conversation had proceeded so quickly, and she was very clear about her position, hoping that Kern would help, and that she was prepared for money. In addition, there are some privileges in Changxia City that can be granted to him.
"Privileges?"
The Countess didn't make it clear, but told Kern to choose a literate, hyphenated squire, who would always be with her. The meaning of this is actually quite clear, the countess will keep in touch with the Illuminati through this person, and give some help for a long time to come.
Kern didn't think much about it, as if he didn't understand the meaning of the words, but smiled and promised to help the Countess find a suitable person, and then promised to give Miss Allemie out of the house.
The Countess breathed a sigh of relief at the reassurance, but her brows were still furrowed.
She didn't dare to guarantee that the young man in front of her with the name of a hero was an expert in saving people, he may have the power of a servant of the Northern God, or he may have saved the small principality and quelled the rebellion, but he may not be able to protect his daughter in the hands of the bandits.
"The leader of the White Moon Queen's warband is a woman. The Countess said to Kern, "If she is caught, she should be able to get Elemy back safely." "For her, a mother, her daughter's capture by a female bandit should be considered a blessing in misfortune, and she is not too worried about that aspect, after all, Mr. Duke has already seen the situation, and Alamy is in good shape.
Kern was looking at the gold coins brought by the countess, and did not pay much attention to her, but repeatedly said that he knew about it, and said that he would definitely save the person.
"It's best that way, and if you need any help, you can sue me. ”
"There is a real need. Kern touched his chin and said, "In order to increase the chances of a successful rescue, it is best to act one or two days before the middle of the month." Until then, I hope that Lord Earl can consume the opponent's strength as much as possible. ”
The Countess could do nothing about this kind of thing, but tried to blow the wind on her husband's pillow as she could, hoping that he would listen to herself. There was still a week left until the middle of the month, which was the limit of what she could endure as a mother.

Count Mio turned the conference room into a combat command room, and formulated the task of encircling and suppressing the White Moon Queen's warband. It's not a difficult thing to think about here, it's something that needs to be thought about for too long, and in the face of a relatively small number of strong enemies, sending a few elites to drain their strength is the only way, and the current plan of action has been deadlocked on the issue of selecting people.
It's not that the Count's soldiers are timid and afraid to go up, it's just that they are too enthusiastic, and they don't have the brains to be unreasonably enthusiastic.
"Lord Count, you need not worry about us. We are your vassals, your warriors, and now that Miss has been captured, we will not complain even if we are asked to take our lives. ”
The man who said this was an old man who was thirty years old and had not yet married a daughter-in-law, who originally owned half of the town's land, and two years ago he gave it to a woman, and then he was dumped by the woman.
The Earl knew very well that these people had mistaken some of the situation, thinking that they would promise their daughter to the person who rescued her, which is why these people were so fearless of death, which was not at all the way in normal times.
"Forget it, if you say so, then arrange to challenge the enemy together......"
The Count was tired of thinking, he was tired now, and needed to rest. No matter what his subordinates think, it will be good to pay the debt when the time comes, and he can't save his daughter from the wolf's den and push it into the tiger's mouth with his own hands.

Zhou Shu's detective novel was widely acclaimed, and Marlena, as a cook, listened to the second scene in the afternoon. There are quite a few good novels that can be used as stories, but the profession of storyteller is not interesting and tiring.
After the second scene, Marlena 'snapped' and applauded the final story reversal.
"However, it's just killing someone, why bother?"
Zhou Shu looked at Marlena, who was seriously asking questions, looked at her dark circles, and sincerely thought that it was difficult for this civilization to give birth to this literary genre. It's so simple to be able to borrow power from God and kill someone unknowingly, so simple that you don't need to use your brain to think of tricks.
"I kind of understand this kind of story!"
Ellemy, who was sitting next to her and drinking juice, smiled and raised her hand, she sat next to the sick princess, the two of them were so close that they looked like sisters rather than captives in captivity.
"I've heard something like that, can you tell me about it instead?"
"Please. Zhou Shu said that he was tired and didn't want to talk about it anymore, but he didn't particularly expect this girl to be too familiar with his own family. In his opinion, in the current state alone, the contradiction with Daddy Elemy is difficult to resolve. If you become friends, some things can be quite difficult to deal with......
The sick princess didn't care about it, and told her to hear it. She still doesn't know much about this place after coming to this country for so long, but she can listen to everything here, and it is beneficial. And she doesn't have Zhou Shu's troubles, even if she gets acquainted with this girl, it won't hinder her anything. If Count Miaos does something excessive, the sick princess will not be relentless. (To be continued......)
