Chapter 195: Conflict
As the capital of Xilin Province, the fiefdom of the Tulip family, Xiqiu is also an important and prosperous commercial city of the empire - it can be said that this is the base camp of the Tulip family!
When the entire Xiqiu learned of the arrival of Duke Tulip, they were already in a boil!
In this place, where Duke Tulip is worshipped almost as a god, the brigade was greeted with unprecedented enthusiasm! The only fly in the ointment was that Duke Tulip did not show up much. 【】
On the first day alone, Roddy briefly met with representatives of some local officials in the form of Duke Tulip - he performed well, at least it seemed that the Duke was not in good health!
This is also thanks to a special potion that Nicole has prepared for him, this potion can make people sweat constantly, and seeing the Duke sitting there with a pale face, his voice is very low, and at the same time he is sweating, everyone can't help but feel a little worried about this pillar of the empire.
After the interview, Roddy ran to the back and poured a stomach of water - because Nicole's potion has no antidote, it will naturally subside when the time comes, but it keeps sweating, but the human body consumes a lot of water, and can only be solved by drinking a lot of water.
After the play, Roddy immediately took off his mask, changed into the costume of the Royal Guard, and quietly left the tulip family's courtyard in Xiqiu.
All the Wolf Tooth Army and the Royal Guard, who were responsible for escorting the Duke, were arranged in a military camp not far from the Duke's Palace.
The barracks has a long history, and it has always been the case that successive Tulip Dukes have taken some military escorts with them when they visited their fiefdoms - which was essential as an imperial marshal who had not been a Tulip Duke.
Roddy returned to the barracks, simply assigned the orders for his officers and soldiers to inspect, explained the assignment of guarding the Duke's Palace, and prepared to take someone to the Annexes to meet Nicole - from today onwards, Roddy will officially approach Miss Nicole with his true identity!
But he had just reached the barracks gate. I saw several Royal Guard soldiers running in with blue noses and swollen faces, and one of them couldn't help but scream. It's as if you're gathering people.
Roddy frowned, strode over, and shouted, "What's the matter!"
The soldiers saw their commander at a glance and immediately stood up straight, and the face of the soldier who shouted just now changed slightly.
"What's going on!" Roddy stood in front of them and asked in a deep voice, "What are you doing in the barracks!"
The soldier's face began to sweat, but he still said loudly: "Third Battalion, Second Regiment of the Royal Guard! Then he went into a tavern, got into a fight with a few people, and then ....... ”
Luo Di's face was gloomy, he looked at the bruises on this person's face, and said coldly: "Then he was beaten, was he!"
His face was a little unswerving - these royal guards were specially responsible for guarding the royal family. I'm also used to being arrogant on weekdays. Some people do develop some not-so-good habits. Although Roddy had only been in the Royal Guard for a short time, he had already felt it fully.
These people are relying on themselves as the exclusive army of the royal family. Naturally, the shelves are much larger than the average army. Although Luo Di is a little dissatisfied, but this phenomenon is also normal, the status and treatment of the royal army have always been in other armies, even above the whip of Thor, there is nothing strange about being arrogant, as long as it is strictly managed on weekdays and does not violate military discipline, there is nothing too out of the ordinary.
It's just that now seeing that these people left the imperial capital, and on the first day they arrived in Xiqiu, they caused trouble, and Luo Di was a little unhappy in his heart, and he just wanted to take this opportunity to discipline these arrogant guys well. It's just that the only strange thing is that in a place like Xiqiu, someone dares to fight the people of the Royal Guard?!
"Patrol, patrol to the tavern?!" Roddy sneered.
The soldier's expression was even more embarrassed, and he hesitated for a moment before he whispered, "We were in a tavern, and we had a conflict with a few people...... And then....... ”
"Who?"
Several soldiers glanced at each other, as if they were afraid to speak.
Luo Di sneered and said lightly: "Look at what you see! I was beaten, but I didn't dare to say it!"
"Yes...... A woman! a beautiful woman......."
"Woman?!" Roddy's face sank, and he said hatefully, "Are you making trouble in the tavern?"
The soldier's face changed drastically, and he immediately understood that the commander was thinking in that direction, and immediately shook his head and shouted: "No, no, my lord! Our brothers, just go and drink some wine casually, we will never dare to do that kind of thing to molest women, and we will never dare to do things that violate military regulations!"
"Hmph......" Luo Di was noncommittal, and said coldly: "Really?"
Several soldiers next to him also hurriedly defended, and the one who was a little more bold said loudly: "Originally, we just looked at her twice, and didn't do anything else, just ......"
Luo Di raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "Babble and spit out!"
The soldier's body trembled, his mind became clear, and he spoke much more smoothly, and he told the story of what had just happened in a few words.
These soldiers were not on duty today, and according to custom, they went out of the barracks to hang out. They came all the way to Xiqiu, and finally had time to rest, not to mention that they came to the big city, this journey was hard, and these soldiers naturally wanted to have some fun (Speaking of this, Roddy's eyes widened, and the soldier immediately sped up. )
Then they found a tavern to have a drink, and there was a table of people sitting in the tavern, and two of the women were unusually beautiful, and the young soldiers could not help but look at it a few more times.
But a beautiful woman at the table seemed to have a bad temper, and she couldn't help but snort at that time. (The soldier's face turned a little red as he said this.) But it's the Royal Guard, after all. It's not a ragtag army of places, although these people are a little arrogant. But they really didn't dare to do the thing of molesting women, although they looked at people with unscrupulous eyes, but they just sat there and drank, and didn't come forward to cause trouble. (When he said this, Roddy's face calmed down a little, and he frowned: "Then why did you become like this again?")
But then, things turned out to be a little strange. The beautiful woman who had just scolded them. But he suddenly stood up. He walked towards a few of them.
Several soldiers were also a little surprised, just thinking that the other party was also a dusty woman in the tavern, and was trying to have some fun, but the woman opened her mouth and asked if they were from the Royal Guard.
These soldiers have always been proud of their status as royal guards, so they naturally affirmed it loudly, and a few of them couldn't help but puff out their chests and make a majestic appearance. I just want to attract the favor of beauties.
The beautiful woman seemed to be very happy at the time. He asked them if they were going to escort Duke Tulip to Xiqiu, and asked them about Duke Tulip.
"Oh?" Roddy frowned, "Ask Duke Tulip about it?"
A soldier nodded: "Isn't it! Originally, our Duke was famous, and these women admired it in their hearts." It's not strange to ask, but the more she asks, the more strange it becomes, always asking how the Duke is doing, and it seems to ask where the Duke lives, how is the situation in the other hospital, and so on...... Your Excellency, you know, we are the army responsible for guarding the duke, and when someone asks us this, we are naturally suspicious, who knows if this woman will be a spy of the steppe or a spy of the Rolands!
"Well, and then what?"
The soldier blushed and whispered, "Then we were going to catch the woman and interrogate her, but the woman was ......"
"What's wrong?"
"Before we could do anything, the woman turned back to her accomplices and said something as if to say: they would not say, should they arrest the soldiers and ask for clarification...... Your Excellency, you see, when such rebellious words have been spoken, how can we still sit......?
Roddy nodded, and there was a puzzled look in his eyes: "And then? And then you guys will do it?"
"Yes...... And then we got to work...... But ...... "Speaking of which, a few soldiers, you look at me, and I look at you." They were all full of shame and anger on their faces, the bruises on their faces and the embarrassed appearance of running in and shouting just now, who suffered just now and who took advantage of it, it can be seen at a glance!
"How many of them beat you?" asked Roddy in a deep voice. Although these Royal Guards are a little arrogant on weekdays, their strength is still good.
"That's it...... It's just one! It's that beautiful girl who does it with us alone...... "The soldiers are stumbling."
Luo Di was stunned and frowned, "Just one person? A girl will beat you like this? Is she a warlock?"
"It's not ......" the soldier hung his head, "she's not a warlock, she seems to be a samurai...... However, he did not see her wearing a samurai uniform or a weapon, so he ...... ...... empty-handed"
Luo Di nodded, although he had some doubts in his heart, but he said loudly: "Okay! A group of people, but they were beaten like this by a girl with bare hands! Take me to see! By the way, how many people are in their group? What do they look like?"
"My lord, there are three of them, two women and one man, both women are very young and beautiful, the woman who did it with us is very powerful, and several of us were knocked down by her in a few strokes...... The man in the back was probably in his thirties, and he didn't look too clearly......"
