Chapter 17: Doubts
In the recuperation of his injuries, Chu Tian was in pain and happy.
After being carried home, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had just learned the news, came to visit Chutian in person. The affectionate eyes, gentle and considerate language, and Serena's meticulous care made Chutian completely fall into the grave of love, and Xiaobai surprisingly did not trouble the princess, but ran back and forth with Serena to deliver water and medicine.
Ludi III canceled the court meeting the next morning, personally visited Chutian with a large number of gifts, and said in front of the accompanying ministers: Marquis Vladino is a pillar of the empire, and he must be treated well, strive to recover his health as soon as possible and continue to contribute to the empire!
The chief court priest, the assassination of the Marquis of Vladino, and the ministers and nobles of the empire also knew the news at the first time. Originally, these bureaucrats only sent servants to deliver some nutritional products and the like, but after Ludi III expressed his importance to Chutian, there were no more guests in Chutian's marquis' mansion. Seeing the big names in Yanjing shouting at themselves, as well as the thick gift slips in their hands, Chu Tian's recovery was immediately extended several times.
And Chu Tian's old friends are even more concerned about Chu Tian: Kanas searched for the murderer in Yanjing day and night, and he was very busy. Damar ran to Chu Tian's house and said that he would protect Chu Tian personally, and by the way, he was grateful to let the Marquis of Vladino teach him a little more about being an official. And Dior stopped teaching at the academy, served the teacher undressed, and behaved like a dutiful son!
The only thing that made Chu Tian strange was that Reggie's sworn friend never appeared, and speaking of which, he was assassinated because of the playboy's dinner
Now Chu Tian is lying on the hospital bed, his body is covered with bandages, teasing Xiaobai while receiving Andorra, the right minister who came to visit.
"Hehe, Mr. Marquis has a great fortune this time, and it is really gratifying that he can still be safe and sound in such a dangerous situation!"
"Praise to the goddess of life, maybe the goddess felt that there were still many important things that I needed to do, so she saved me at a critical moment. Talking nonsense in his mouth, Chu Tian recalled Dirk who suddenly appeared that night, the time when Dirk appeared was too coincidental, and the alley where he had an accident was far away from the mansion of the right minister, he had no reason to appear there in the middle of the night.
Although his heart was full of doubts, Chu Tian still put on a look of gratitude to Andorra: "I am really ashamed of the right minister to bother the Lord to visit me in person for this little matter." ”
"Where is this, now that you are the pillar of the empire, even Your Majesty has a lot to rely on you, and I should come to visit. Andorra leaned forward, as if to observe Chu Tian's wounds. But all I found was bandages and a pungent smell of medicine. sighed: "It's really not light!"
Chu Tian smiled secretly in his heart, Lao Tzu was already fine! However, for the sake of a rich gift, this injury would have to wait two days to heal!
Andor looked at the bloody bandages on Chu Tian's body again, and asked casually, "Those forbidden troops in Yanjing are so incompetent that they can't even catch a single assassin!"
"I was so drunk at the time, I didn't even see what the assassin looked like!" After speaking, Chu Tian lowered his head and patted Xiaobai, but his eyes were secretly fixed on Andorra.
However, Andorra's expression did not change, and he still said with a smile: "In this way, it is really cheap for that assassin." Then I won't bother, you can cultivate with peace of mind, Your Majesty is still waiting for you to serve!"
After saying that, An Dao got up to say goodbye and left the ward.
Seeing Andor walk out of the room, Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, but he was secretly thinking in his heart, did it have nothing to do with him?
Since he was injured, Chu Tian has been amassing money in the name of recuperating from his injuries, and he is also thinking about recent events: he has only been in Yanjing for three months, and he has not made enemies, and he has no reason to be assassinated! If he must find some reasons, it is only when he pursues Princess Serena that he offends many young nobles, among whom Anderson is even more so.
However, the most suspicious Andorra did not need to get rid of himself for the sake of his son's feelings, if it were not for him, then Dirk's timely appearance could not be explained.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that he had missed a big problem. Shouted, "Paige, come in!"
After Chutian's accident, Lu Di III scolded the generals of the Yanjing Guard Regiment. It was really a shame for Caesar's iron cavalry to be assassinated under the nose of the emperor, so the Minister of War in charge of the whole [***] team, Ma Cori, proposed to strengthen the protection of Chu Tian, and sent thousands of guards to follow Chu Tian according to Chu Tian's title. This is already the limit of Macori, you know, even the marquis who owns the territory can only recruit three thousand private soldiers.
After Chu Tian learned the news, he remembered Page, the commander who had impressed him, and asked him to be the captain of the guard by name.
Hearing Chu Tian's call, Page immediately pushed the door in, "My lord, what are your orders?"
Page, the captain of the guard, is still very conscientious, since he was transferred to Chu Tian's subordinates, he has been inseparable from Chu Tian, and even slept outside Chu Tian's door, which can't help but make Chu Tian sigh: I have picked up a good labor force.
Chu Tian motioned for Page to sit down, and then asked, "Hehe, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask, are you familiar with the right minister's butler Dirk, is the old man who appeared on the night I was stabbed." ”
"Lord Hui, I can't talk about familiarity, but I have some understanding, Dirk often follows the right minister to inspect the barracks, so most of the officers of the guard regiment know him,"
Chu Tian nodded, satisfied with Page's answer, and then asked, "Then how is his strength?"
"His strength?" Page was stunned for a moment and replied, "Dirk is just an ordinary old man. ”
"Ordinary people, is it possible for him to hide his strength?" Chu Tian still refused to give up.
"It shouldn't be possible, there are also many masters in the guard regiment, and none of them feel that Dirk has magic or fighting spirit!" Although he didn't understand why the Marquis asked such a strange question, Page still dutifully answered Chu Tian.
"Oh, that's fine, you can go back first!"
Page left the ward, but Chu Tian was even more puzzled: Page couldn't be lying, so Dirk couldn't be the murderer, in this case, Andorra was much less suspicious, so who was going to get rid of him?!
I can't think of it!" Chu Tian shook his head.
"Woo~" Chu Tian, who was still pondering, was pulled back to reality by Xiaobai's cry. Looking down, it turned out that Xiaobai was holding a small medicine jar in his mouth, swaying on the soft mattress and crawling to his ear, blinking his eyes and reminding himself: It's time to take medicine!
Took the medicine jar and threw it into the trash, Chu Tian rubbed Xiao Bai's head, "My injury has already healed, I don't need to take medicine!" After speaking, seeing that Xiao Bai was still unrelenting, Chu Tian pursed his lips again, and said arrogantly: "Don't forget, I am an eighth-level great sacrifice teacher!"
"Woo!" Xiao Bai rolled his eyes, looked at Chu Tian angrily, and said angrily: Don't think I don't know the origin of your title!
"Marquis Reggie is here to visit your lord!" Just as Chu Tian was still appeasing Xiao Bai, Paige's voice came from outside the door. With his voice, Reggie, the scum, strode in, "Haha, boss, why are you unlucky to be like this!
