Don't vote for me if you have a vote, vote for my Supreme Scoundrel!
The imperial capital is still unusually prosperous. 【Reading.com】
At this moment, Roddy led the horse slowly. This is not inside the imperial capital, but has just walked to the outer towns outside the imperial capital. The roads here are already much wider than those in the smaller cities in the south. In the imperial capital, which has been in operation for hundreds of years, the bluestone pavement is unusually smooth and atmospheric. There are many pedestrians on the road, and the various commercial ports on the street are also noisy.
Roddy took a deep breath, the smell here seemed to be a little more intimate than in the south. He walked cautiously forward, his golden head already dyed black with potions. Roddy just hung his head, just looking around from time to time out of the corner of his eye.
The majestic city walls were in front of them, and beneath the huge gates, a group of brightly armored soldiers stood with spears in hand. Several officers scanned the crowd with wary eyes.
Roddy immediately lowered his drooping face and led the horse through them. Fortunately, the Northwest War had already been fought, otherwise a few months ago, the inventory of the city gate would definitely not have been so lax.
Luo Di entered the city and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but before his heart could fully land, he suddenly felt someone slowly following behind him......
Roddy's mind immediately became vigilant, and he had not yet figured out who had done the thrilling assassination in that inn.
The Bloodline who caught it also said that it was the order of the Bloodline.
Although Roddy couldn't figure out when he had gotten married to the Bloodline—there must have been some grudge between the Tulip Family and the Bloodline...... I might have to ask Nicole when I get back...... Well, maybe Nicole doesn't know, but Mark Sr. should know a little bit about it.
He was avoiding the crowd and cautiously moving towards the road leading to the Duke's Palace, when suddenly a young child next to him ran up to Roddy and shouted: "Sir!"
Luo Di frowned, glanced at the child, dressed very shabby, with mud on his face, thinking that he was a beggar who stopped people and begged on the streets of the imperial capital, he was afraid of being recognized, and kept moving forward under his feet--there are many people who knew him in the imperial capital! When he went out to the northwest and returned victoriously, almost all the people in the imperial capital came to see the new duke of the tulip family. If someone gets recognized here, it's over.
"Sir!" the kid behind him quickened his pace and caught up in front of Roddy.
Roddy sighed and said in a low voice, "I don't have any change, I'll give you this." He took out a gold coin and threw it to the child.
The child took it, and although his face showed surprise, he didn't let go, took something out of his hand, and handed it over.
"Sir, this was given to you by someone. ”
"Huh?" Roddy was stunned for a moment, and with a strange feeling in his heart, he looked at the child's hand, which was a scroll of paper.
"What is this? for me?"
The boy nodded, "It was a gentleman who told me to come to you, and he gave me a gold coin! You gave me another one! The gods must be bless me today!"
Luo Di showed a vigilant look in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Who told you to give it to me?
"There it is!" the child turned and pointed to a nearby alleyway. But there was not a single figure there.
The kid had a strange look on his face: "It was still there just now." ”
"What does that guy look like?" said Roddy, taking the scroll of paper with one hand.
"I don't know. He wore a cloak and wrapped his head up, and looked a little like a foreigner. The kid finished the character and ran away giggling.
Roddy was in doubt, turned into a path, looked at no one around, and opened the scroll of paper to look at it.
I wrote a simple sentence with charcoal: My home has been surrounded, don't go back!
This sentence seems to have been written in a hurry, and the handwriting is also a little sloppy. It's just that after Luo Di glanced at it a few times, he always felt that the more he looked at it, the more familiar it became, as if he had seen it somewhere.
He thought about it for a while, and felt that this matter was a little strange. I came back secretly, but as soon as I arrived in the imperial capital, someone sent such a note to me. It's obvious that he's watching himself enter the city! Maybe he's staring at himself around right now!
Roddy held the hilt of his sword with one hand and looked around, but behind him was the depths of the alley, surrounded by walls on both sides, and only beyond the mouth of the alley was a lively street.
He took a deep breath, thought about it in his head, and still couldn't help but want to go back to the Duke's Palace.
Who knows who sent this note! What if the Bloods did it? They want to kill themselves, and most of them don't want to go back!
Roddy shook his head. He was bent on seeing Nicole as soon as possible, and the closer he got to the door at this moment, the stronger the thought in his heart became, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
After passing two avenues, you can already see that you are getting closer and closer to the Duke's Palace, and as long as you turn this street again, you can see the gate of the Duke's Palace. Suddenly, there was another shout behind him: "Sir!"
Roddy looked back and saw another child running behind him, this one looking slightly taller than the previous one. Panting, he ran to Roddy's side, handed over a note, and said, "This is what a gentleman asked me to give you." ”
Roddy had a look of surprise on his face, but the kid handed over the note, turned and ran away.
"I know you don't believe it, wait in old Mark's house at night!"
With this sentence on the note, Roddy immediately stopped.
Old Mark's house in the city is something that ordinary people absolutely don't know! Nicole doesn't know! Even if it's herself, she only went there once before going to the northwest! No matter who the other party is, since he knows that Old Mark's secret house in the city, it must be his own person-most likely it may be Old Mark himself.
But why don't you come out and meet yourself?
Roddy thought about it in his heart, but still didn't continue to move forward. Trying to suppress the urge to rush back to see Nicole at this moment, he turned and left.
Old Mark's house is in an alley south of the imperial capital. Roddy happened to be passing by there just now, and now he had to turn back. Turning left and right from the sparsely populated paths, Roddy finally looked at the buildings on the left and right, and there was nothing wrong with that. Affirmed that the place was right. Standing in front of a medium-sized house.
With a little nervousness, he knocked lightly on the door......
There was no answer. Luo Di's heart moved, and the force of knocking on the door was a little stronger, but he didn't expect that this time the force was too strong, and the door itself opened gently. It turns out that there is no lock!
Roddy frowned, led the horse and walked in carefully. Glancing around, I only felt that there was no difference between this place and the last time I came, the two courtyards were quiet, the ground was a little dirty, and there were a lot of fallen leaves, as if no one had swept it for a long time. Even when Old Mark showed him how to use the Spotlightsword, the stone table that had been split in half was still lying there crookedly.
Roddy felt a little strange in his heart, but he tied his horse to the tree. Cautiously walked into the room.
The door of the room is not locked, and it opens when you push it, but the inside of the room is quite clean. Several wooden tables were spotlessly clean, and Roddy looked at the kettle on the table, picked it up and shook it.
There's water in there, so most people have been here.
He sighed and smiled bitterly in his heart: "At least old Mark won't harm himself......"
His physique is not as good as before, he is already tired from running all the way, and his body is sore and weak at the moment, so he found a chair to sit down, and he was still a little worried at first, but gradually he was a little sleepy.
A voice beside him suddenly said, "Are you tired......?" If there's anybody, I'll tell you. ”
Luo Di smiled bitterly: "You are still following me, but you are always so invisible and don't let me see it, it feels a little awkward." ”
Light Moon Dance's voice was calm: "My mission is to follow you." You're a dragon possessed now, and I have to keep an eye on you all the time!"
Roddy sighed, and continued, "If necessary, kill me when you find an opportunity, right?"
Pale Moon Dance was silent and did not answer.
Roddy sighed, "You wouldn't have killed me at all." Well, if you want to get your hands dirty, there are just so many opportunities. And why lie to me with such words?"
The figure of the Light Moon Dance slowly appeared behind him.
"Because I'm ......curious," she said slowly, "I'm curious, what is the magic of you, the Duke of Tulip, that can make so many people willing to die for you! I wonder why so many people value the glory of the Tulip Battle Banner more than their own lives! Do you know? There was once a person who fought hard for you, regardless of his own safety and those blood clans, and he didn't think about how he could escape at the most dangerous moment, but felt very sorry because he couldn't fulfill the agreement with you!"
Roddy nodded: "That's it?"
Light Moon Dance smiled, "Do you need anything else? It seems to us that the people of our Silver Moon Clan will only have such respect and devotion to the true god Kara! And you tulip family did it! Even the hunter who secretly followed you, he did the same! I think he's a very strange man, and with his kind of person, he doesn't have any worship or devotion to anyone. But for you, he is willing to protect you with his life!"
Luo Di smiled bitterly and said lightly: "That's because you don't know what the agreement between me and him is." ”
Moon Dance didn't answer him, but slowly closed her mouth.
Roddy sighed, his body was really tired, and he felt a little helpless. In the past, when I was in the northwest, I could hold on to a few days and nights of rapid marching, but since I turned into that dragon, I feel tired when I walk a little more. The only thing I rely on is the sword in my hand...... It's just that he has lost the ability to wield his sword, how can he fight with the emperor, how can he get his own woman back?
Perhaps, when you get home, you should ask Andy carefully......
There was a mess in the child, and I thought of Nicole from time to time, and finally Roddy closed his eyes.
In the evening, Roddy was woken up by a hurried voice: "Someone is coming!"
Roddy opened his eyes and stood up, only to hear footsteps outside the room.
The footsteps were unusually brisk, as if the walker already knew he was in the room. Without stopping, he walked straight towards the room.
The door to the eye room had been pushed open, and a slender man walked in.
He was exactly as the kid on the street had said, with a large cloak that covered his head. A face was also deeply hidden in the shadows under the cloak.
The man walked in slowly, first turning around and closing the door. Then he seemed to look at Roddy again and let out a chuckle.
"Yes, yes, you look a bit like a duke now. ”
Roddy frowned and whispered, "Who are you?"
The man didn't answer him, walked around Roddy's body from a distance, and said with a smile: "But it's good." Looks like Nicole trained you well. You look good now. It's a bit of a duke's temperament, and if you don't say it, who can tell that you're a fake?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Roddy's face immediately changed.
"Who the hell are you! How do you know......" Roddy's heart suddenly moved: "Are you a friend of old Mark? He told you? How could he tell you this?"
The man laughed as if he was very happy: "Well, that's not good. Still so impatient. That's not going to work. As Duke Tulip, how many big things do you have to go through, and you can't hold your breath...... It's a small shortcoming for you. But it's good, and it looks like a kind of mighty general--why is your head black?Did you dye it yourself?No wonder, you come back secretly, always to avoid being seen......"
"Who the hell are you!" Roddy took a step forward, his voice a little cold.
The man seemed stunned, and then burst into a loud laugh: "......You haven't seen who I am?" and after a pause, he seemed to say to himself, "No wonder, he has only seen me once...... But that's not right, doesn't he look in the mirror every day......? But I've only heard my voice once......"
With these words, he finally removed the cloak from his head, and then looked at Roddy with a smile on his face.
His golden head was like the rays of the sun, his dark blue eyes were as deep as a lake, and his handsome face was almost the standard version of a girl's dream lover......
Roddy's eyes widened as he looked at the young man in front of him.
"It's you!!Seth!!" Roddy yelled suddenly, looking like he would pounce on Seth at any moment!
The smile on Seth's face remained unchanged, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and the smile became a little more strange: "Another beautiful young lady in the room, why don't you speak? Do you want me to have the privilege of hearing your beautiful voice? Or are you shocked by what the two of us just said?"
After a pause, Seth bowed elegantly and said in a low voice: "I, the contemporary heir of the Tulip family, Setrudolph, Duke of the Imperial Tulip." May I ask the name of this beautiful young lady?"
Don't vote for me if you have a vote, vote for my Supreme Scoundrel!
