Chapter VI: Closing the Net
After a while, the fifth child on the second floor ran down with a wicked smile on his face, "Boss, guess who led the people to attack the city." Qiubai took a sip of water, "Tiger Knights." Lao Wu's excited face just now froze suddenly, "It's boring, you should guess a few more." As he spoke, he snatched the cup of Black Moon on the table and took a sip of it.
The man in black, who had been outside just now, walked in, but now he was less nervous than before. "The patrols in the city have gone to the main road." Qiubai got up and stretched, "Let's go, shouldn't we, as parties, go out and join in the fun?" As he spoke, he led a few people to the main road slowly.
At this time, the main thing can be said to be unlively, the knights of Flandos fell to their knees on both sides of the road, and each of the knights guarding them had a tiger head embedded in their armor. Residents on both sides of the road leaned out of their windows and looked downstairs curiously. At this time, the castle lord knelt on the main road and was clamped by the neck with spears by two knights, and opposite him was the smiling Princess Liuzakura and his squire Falgar. Qiu Bai led a few people slowly through the crowd to the back of Princess Liuying. Not far away, the two apprentices of Black Moon were also rescued and rushed to the teacher's side. It looks like he was quite frightened.
"Ryu Sakura has seen His Excellency Black Moon, Grand Karcist." Princess Liuying saluted. Black Moon just nodded. Then he looked at the people next to him, "Mr. Qiubai has also worked hard these days, and there are two nightingales." When the work is done, you will be given the reward you deserve. "Yes." The brother and sister naturally saw that the person in front of them must be a person of noble status, so they immediately knelt down to accept the favor.
But all this was naturally seen clearly by Enlil, who was not far away, only to see him laugh hysterically and roar a few times, "Princess Liuying is a good means, she can actually reach the two of them." Princess Liuying smiled indifferently, "I haven't been in contact with the two of them by you, and the Nightingale organization of Your Excellency the City Lord is indeed difficult to penetrate, but has the City Lord ever thought about how you passed the order to the Nightingale, and whether this microphone is flawless." Enlil was taken aback, and then said viciously, "It's hard to prevent thieves." But he couldn't understand how he made a mistake, "Princess Liuying, I don't understand, why did you think it was me?" I don't think I've had any problems doing things in the past six months. Princess Liuying smiled even more happily as she looked at the city lord with a puzzled expression, "Well, yes, there is really no problem. As he spoke, he fell into the ear of the city lord and whispered, "Because, this move is coming to an end, and you are unfortunate enough to be the outcast." After saying that, Princess Liuying got up, leaving the city lord with a confused face.
Then a crisp sound echoed, followed by the sound of a hidden weapon cutting through the air, and a flying needle pierced straight into the forehead of the city lord, his face was still the same as just now, his eyes were full of incredulity, but he didn't breathe anymore. "Protect the princess." With the knight's roar, the whole street was in chaos again, and everyone of the knights raised their shields and swords around the princess, and not far away was the fallen city lord Enlil.
……
"Miss, Mr. Qiubai asks to see you." Outside the door, Falgar knocked on the door and said.
"Please come in."
After receiving permission, Falgar leaned sideways into Qiubai and closed the door himself. At this time, Princess Liuying was leaning on the head of the bed, dressed in a pale pink nightdress, the window was open, and the breeze rolled up the curtain and her hair, looking so beautiful. So much so that Qiubai was stunned for a few seconds. It wasn't until Princess Liuying coughed lightly that the embarrassment was interrupted.
"I'm here to confirm the princess, tomorrow's departure or a few days of rest, after all, the princess is also frightened."
The girl smiled and looked at the young man in front of her, "It's okay, I've been delaying my trip for a few days, and I can leave tomorrow morning." ”
Qiubai didn't leave in a hurry after getting the answer, and still stood in place looking at the girl in front of him.
Princess Liuying seemed to see Qiu Bai's confusion and continued, "Mr. Qiu Bai, is there anything else you want to ask? ”
Qiu Bai said lightly, "In my investigation, I clearly know that Princess Liuying arrived in Flandos half a year ago, just after His Excellency Black Moon was abducted. Princess Liuzakura looked puzzled, "That's right, I'm traveling with Falgar." Qiubai nodded with you, "This is strange, the time and place of the princess's trip are too coincidental, at the time when His Excellency Black Moon was kidnapped, the city-state that was hijacked, and this happened here." And I became the last piece of the puzzle. Princess Liuying looked surprised after hearing this, "Wow, there are so many coincidences, then this experience of mine is really very precious." Qiubai nodded, "I checked the materials in that warehouse, the type of goods is right, but the quantity is wrong, and all the materials are missing a large part." I talked to His Excellency Black Moon, they have been conducting research on secret element purification, and they are not mass-produced, so the consumption cannot be so large. Why do you think this city lord is so fanfare to transport so many rare materials? ”
"Who knows, maybe there was a loss in the transportation process, or it was stolen by a big mouse?" Princess Liuzakura shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
"And then, this philosopher's stone." The ring flashed in Qiu Bai's hand, and a fist-sized philosopher's stone appeared in his hand. was then thrown to the ground by Qiubai and shattered. "It doesn't seem like it's the real thing." Princess Liuying smiled slightly and opened the cabinet at the head of the bed, and a blood-red stone lay quietly inside, shining like a ruby, and like a beating heart, containing infinite vitality. "The real thing is here. You see this thing is so dangerous, how can I hand it over to you, at least after the danger is cleared. As she spoke, the girl handed the stone to Qiubai's hand. This time it's real, don't break it. ”
Qiubai shook his head helplessly, "I feel that the commission fee is going to be less." ”
Princess Liuying smiled slightly, "It's okay, if you don't think it's enough, I'll ask my sister to make it up to you when you get to the imperial capital." ”
……
"Miss, this man seems to have sensed something." After Qiubai left, Falgar entered the house and said, "Do you want to cancel this commission and change someone." Princess Liuzakura shook her head, "Why, if he couldn't find the problem, I wouldn't have entrusted him, it's more interesting, isn't it?" As he spoke, he got up and walked to the side of the bed, "He has courage, brains, and vision, and he will definitely be a good chess piece, but well, this chess piece still needs time to be polished." Oh yes, he is already suspicious, he has to find a way to eliminate it, and the data and samples are well preserved, so don't experiment during this time, you have to go the rest of the way first. Falgar answered, and was about to turn around and leave when Princess Liuzakura stopped again, "Wait a minute, you can accompany me to buy some clothes, I will leave tomorrow, and I want to relax today." ”
"Yes."
……
As soon as he returned upstairs, Qiu Bai sent that the two brothers and sisters in the room were listening to the fifth child talking. After seeing Qiubai coming, the brother and sister knelt on the ground and saluted, "Mr. Xie's life-saving grace." Qiu Bai hurriedly helped the two of them up, "Huh? This can't be considered a favor, after all, I also cheated you two to be like this. At best, it's a rip-off. "At this time, the two of them are no longer dressed in night clothes, but in leather armor, which looks extraordinarily energetic." Whatever you say, we have written down this kindness. Qiu Bai scratched his head, "I don't know what you two are called." ”
"Oh, I'll introduce you." Lao Wuyi lined his chest and pointed at the man, "This is my brother, my name is Ann." After speaking, he pointed to the girl next to him, "This is Jing, and she is my sister." Qiubai looked helpless and thought, "What a broken name, what the hell is quiet." The fifth child smiled, "Do you think this name is broken, hahahaha." Laughing out loud as he spoke, "When I heard these two names, I also felt that the brain that came up with the names was sick." As he spoke, he patted Ann on the shoulder, "Who gave you both?" Looking at Ann at this time, she was a little embarrassed, and squeezed out a sentence faintly, "I got up." As soon as he heard this, Lao Wuyi sat on the sofa with his buttocks, the cheap smile on his face disappeared instantly, and his face was serious, "A good name, it has connotation." “
This change almost choked Qiubai. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, he hurriedly asked, "Have you been incorporated into the Knights?" “。 Jing took you and nodded, "We are now the Flandos Ranger Scout, which is a sub-regiment of the Tiger Knights, and the current Flandos is also temporarily taken over by the Tiger Knights. Qiu Bai nodded with satisfaction, "Well, how good this is, don't be afraid, and the royal salary." There is hope for the days to come. Saying that, Qiubai looked at the corner of the house and packed the same luggage, "Let's go, I just have time at night, and the fifth child downstairs has a treat." “
Lao Wu smiled and shook the money bag on his waist, "Let's go, this time the stop is short, and the surplus food is sufficient, go." Go downstairs to eat and drink. ”
……
Early the next morning, on the main road outside the city, Qiubai and Lao Wu waited early in the power furnace carriage, and after a while, a luxurious white carriage appeared on the main road, and the window of the carriage was opened, and Princess Liuying leaned out half of her body and waved her hand, shouting, "Mr. Qiubai can go." "When the carriage walked in, I found that it was actually An and Jing brothers and sisters who were driving." Hey, you guys? The fifth looked surprised. I won't stay in such a place with such good guards, I'm going to bring them into the imperial capital. Princess Liuzakura said proudly, "You're right, Falgar." Falgar, who was riding a horse on the side, nodded solemnly with a tiger head chess. Then the two carriages headed off into the distance.
