"Is it exactly what I expected?" Yulia bit a dark purple grape, and listened to Linghua in front of her report to her about the specific situation of the spring town she had found.

"Yes. The young lady is smart and quick-witted. Expect things like God. As the young lady said, Su Lange was declared dead, and the great changes in Chunse Town were indeed related to the highness who appeared when the great changes occurred in Danfeng Town and the group of people in his mercenary group.

This time in the spring town, there were only two people who came at first, the prince Peng Xiu and the deputy head of the group, Riying, and the others came later.

After they came out of the Foundry Treasure Pavilion in Sulange, they announced Sulange's death, and then the prince Peng Xiu forcibly reorganized the town of Chunse, turning the town from Sulange's private property into a terra nullius land owned by the state. The people of the town chose their own managers, with the Sulange family assisting. Ling Lace peeled a grape and handed it to Yulia's mouth as she spoke.

"No one saw Sulange's body?" Yulia said as she ate the grapes that had been handed to her mouth.

"Nope. Some people say that it is possible that Sulange did not die, but was imprisoned by them in Sulange's own foundry pavilion, and some people still say that Sulange's screams can be heard from outside Sulange's foundry pavilion. And after the death was announced, they also sealed the Foundry Pavilion and did not allow anyone to enter. ”

Reika peeled another grape, but Yulia didn't seem to want to eat it. She continued.

"Although I know that there may be something wrong with this, Master Sulange has a very bad character, and everyone has a lot of grudges against him, so no one has pursued this matter, including the current heir of the Sulange family, Thor. ”

"However, a few days ago, there was a break-in, saying that two women had broken in, and they had also injured the guards and Thor. They were also wounded during the siege, but the men escaped. In the end, there was no trace either. It is not known whether it has anything to do with the changes in the spring town. ”

"What kind of woman?"

"I don't know. I only know that it is the master and servant. Reika explained.

Yulia nodded, no praise or criticism, she was still quite convinced of Linghua's ability to investigate, if she couldn't say it clearly, it was that the people in this place were basically unclear, and there was no need to delve into it.

She was actually more amazed by what she had seen and heard as she walked around today.

"Linghua, what did the brothel here look like before?"

"Aren't all brothels in the world the same? my subordinates have never been there, but I read the description when I was in the Holy Court of Light. ”

"I've read about it too. ”

"Yes, the breadth of Miss's reading and knowledge, there is no saint in the Holy Court of Light that can compare with you. ”

"I'm not asking you to be a sycophant. I mean, I don't think it's the same as described. The women in the brothel in the spring town don't seem to be completely forced by life, but more like they choose independently, and their attitude towards customers is also very casual, and some are beaten in the street. Their faces were full of freedom. ”

Freedom is the only thing that the Holy See of Light does not have.

"I've heard about the current situation of the brothels here that the young lady said. That may have something to do with the historical problems left here and the restructuring of His Highness. It is said that this master of Sulange is really very good at collecting beauties, and he has seen the transaction of power desire and money, and many people who have failed in the power struggle of the family have been sent here to be slaves and maids, not only to eradicate hidden dangers for the family, but also to exchange for more precious weapons for the family. And most of the men and women in this brothel are like this. They were betrayed and abandoned by their families, and even now that Sulange is dead, most of them are homeless. His Royal Highness knew this very well, and when he reorganized the town of Spring, he kept the brothels and casinos, which were once the properties of Sulange, and distributed them as equal rights to everyone who wanted to stay. They can choose to continue to work as prostitutes or women, or they can choose not to do it, and do some self-supporting work, so that they will not have no way to survive. ”

"What about those who left?"

"Most of the people who chose to leave respected their opinions, some were sent back to their families or hometowns, some took a sum of money and left on their own, and the guards and the like were incorporated into the municipal hall or the army. By the way, there are also some people from the mercenary group who took them to the imperial capital. Basically, it was handled with respect for personal wishes, but in a short period of time, everyone's wishes were collected and properly handled, and I have to admire the speed and ability of this highness to handle affairs. is also worthy of being the real power prince of the Purple Kite Empire. ”

"A person who wants to become the king of a big country in the future, what is it to deal with such a small town, it is rare and strange. Yulia said coldly.

Yulia felt that what was really admirable was the way he handled the matter. According to his identity, it is normal to only use drastic and casual treatment, and there is no need to waste his mind to pay attention to the wishes of these ordinary people. But he didn't deal with it like this, but was willing to put more energy into dealing with the most difficult wishes for the sake of these ordinary people he encountered, and he could still enforce it strongly. After getting used to seeing the faces of the high-ranking bishops, I can feel that this is a rare and precious thing.

But Yulia didn't want to praise her, she was now a privileged class, and it was her prerogative to enslave others and ignore the wishes of her servants. She doesn't feel anything wrong with such a privilege.

"Is there anything special?" asked Yulia, Reika was good at gathering information, but her ability to report was really not very good.

Linghua lowered her head and thought for a while. "Well, there's one more thing, I don't know if it's special. ”

"You don't have to think about it, you just report it. Yulia said disdainfully.

"Yes. Miss. Linghua nodded and continued. "There are many different information about the murderer, but they all mention one person, a male favorite of the Sulange family. They all think that this male pet plays an important role in this matter, but they can't say what role they play. ”

"What is there to say about male pets. Yulia despised such a existence.

"This male pet is very popular in the spring town, and he is basically half of the spiritual leader here. He also died in the Foundry Pavilion in Suranga. After his death, his mother was taken to the imperial capital by the deputy head of the regiment, Nikkage. ”

"Picked up by the Hikage?" this incident provoked Yulia's attention.

"Yes, miss. Because at that time, the Shadow had been searching in the town for a while, and it took her to find someone, and she was the only one who was taken away by the Shadow of the Sun, saying that she had also brought someone to serve the woman. Because of this incident, some of their male pet supporters also thought that Sun Shadow was the murderer of the male pet, and he was guilty of infecting him and needed to take care of the male pet's mother, and they originally protested, but in view of the power of Sun Shadow, they didn't dare to do anything. ”

"It's kind of interesting. Yulia stood up and paced two steps. "He's not a guilty person who will take care of others, according to his decisiveness, he will definitely kill the male favorite mother to prevent future troubles. Now, do you remember the look in the eyes of the sun shadow when you reported to the useless deputy steward in Danfeng Town, what a fear it was. ”

"Yes, miss, remember. The steward said that the deputy head of the regiment walked directly towards them as if he were an evil spirit, and frightened the priests to the ground, and when everyone did not know the murderer, they forced out the plotter Kevin and his priests by relying on their own oppression, and then killed him decisively. If you want me to say that they are really useless, so many people are still afraid of one person. ”

"When you can't match your opponent, you have to know how to fear your opponent. And they did the right thing. You know what. But the interesting thing is that such a person will take care of a woman and child for a male pet. Something must have happened between them. ”，

"It seems that Mademoiselle is very interested in his affairs. But there are only a few people who have entered the Foundry Treasure Pavilion, and the only one who is still alive and still living in Spring Town is the current head of Thor, and his subordinates have no way to find out more information from his mouth. But to tell the truth, this deputy head of the regiment really goes wherever he goes, chickens and dogs jump, and people die wherever they go. But in the imperial capital, there should be a stop. ”

Linghua's words made Yulia's eyes light up. Her small lips curled into a smile. How could she have forgotten that there was still a Morton waiting to die in the imperial capital. "Let's go, let's go to the imperial capital tomorrow, and we'll meet His Royal Highness the prince and this Sun Shadow for a while. ”

"Really? Miss has really decided to go to the imperial capital. That's great. I'm worried about where else you want to go. Subordinates, go and contact the guards and ask them to pick you up. ”

Yulia waved her hand and let Reihua go. She is looking forward to what kind of chickens and dogs will jump in the imperial capital.

In the dimly lit corridor, there is an upward entrance that bursts in. A look at the question is an inevitable choice.

Peng Xiu took the lead in the upside. The darkness of the room above was not much stronger than that below, and he glanced at it roughly, and crouched down to pull the shadow.

Sunkage looked at it, the warm and powerful hand stretched out from top to bottom, that hand was not like the fair-skinned and well-maintained hands of ordinary royal nobles, and even inferior to the hands of ordinary laborers, it was full of mottled scars left after healing, and the palms of the hands were calluses from practicing swordsmanship and martial arts.

In fact, he didn't need this help at all, and he could easily go up on his own. But he did not refuse such gentle kindness.

But what he didn't expect was that if it was followed by the Migami key, Peng Xiu would not help him at all.

Holding Peng Xiu's hand, Sun Ying reflexively looked upward, and saw Peng Xiu's handsome face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes and gentleness in his eyes, but other than that, he also saw something that surprised him.

It was a pair of bloodshot eyes with endless killing intent.

A mass of black figures wrapped in black sticky attachment to the ceiling, at this time on top of Peng Xiu's head, I don't know whether to wait for the two of them to come up and leave, or to stay and ambush them, but no matter which one it is, the eyes between him and the sun shadow make this moment become an ambush time. The opportunity is fleeting, and the slightest hesitation will miss this good opportunity for a sneak attack and face a two-on-one disadvantage. The black shadow seized the opportunity to plunge down, and a short sword fell out of his bosom and rushed straight forward.

At this time, Peng Xiu had already read the danger in the eyes of the Sun Shadow, and immediately turned sideways to prepare for defense, but the time was later, and he saw the silver sword tip towards Peng Xiu's chest.

Sun Ying was startled and immediately reacted quickly, shaking hands while using the power of pushing away Peng Xiu, rushing straight up, and the side that did not shake hands offered a single sleeve sword, and the tips of the swords collided, without giving way.

bite

The point of the sword collides and the point of the sword deviates from direction, and both swords begin to change direction and attack each other instead. The hand of the black shadow that shook the shadow of the sun shadow was slightly numb, and the hand that stabbed again even trembled slightly, but the sword of the sun shadow was extraordinary, and the hidden blade went towards the black shadow's vital point, and the body was soft sideways at the same time to avoid the sword stabbed by the black shadow.

Sneak attack, counterattack, just a few seconds, between lightning and flint, in this narrow space has been completed. The two were extremely close, and Peng Xiu, who was pushed away, didn't even have time to see the movements of the two clearly, and the battle was already over.

The Black Shadow flew and landed not far from the entrance, and the Sun Shadow flew and landed lightly on the edge of the entrance.

At this time, the black shadow clutched his chest and could not stand. Sunshadow swung her Hidden Arrow to shake off the blood.

"Little Shadow. Peng Xiu immediately approached Sunshadow's side. He checked to see if Sunshadow was hurt.

I saw that the clothes on the right arm of the Japanese shadow were torn, revealing fair skin. "Are you hurt?"

Sunshadow looked down and saw a shallow mark of blood, the blade was too sharp, and even if it flashed in time, it made a slight mark on the tender skin. It doesn't hurt him. "It's fine, no injuries. ”

"You're bleeding. Peng Xiu's face became extremely ugly as he mixed his self-reproach and anger, and he clearly glanced inside, but found no one climbing the ceiling. It was his sloppiness and carelessness that hurt the person next to him again.

The warm hand pressed on Peng Xiude's eyebrows. It was as if in the churning hot water, letting go of a trace of coldness, calming the boiling lake water and calming the excited emotions surging in my heart.

"Hugh. I saved you. I am happy. Sunshadow said with a smile on her lips. Their relationship has always been equal in Hikage's heart, he has never been someone who needs to be protected, and his strength makes him strong enough to protect others. He doesn't need Peng Xiu's self-blame, he doesn't need Peng Xiu's anger, what he needs is Peng Xiu's reciprocal gratitude.

"Well, I owe it first. The anger and self-blame in Peng Xiu's heart subsided in an instant. Yes. The people in front of him he know are actually the ones who rely on him, and he also knows which superfluous emotions might as well calm down and face the present.

"Go home and ask Chef to make me a bigger crème brûlée cake. ”

"Hmm. ”

As they spoke, they turned to the dark figure clutching their chests in pain.

At that time, a short and thin man, wrapped in black clothes, his head, hands and face were even wrapped, revealing only a pair of bloodshot eyes, looking at the two of them with a bit of decadence and hatred.

"Who are you?" asked Sunshadow.

The shadow didn't answer, just watched.

"Do you know Kamel?" asked Sunshadow tentatively.

There was a hint of other emotion in those bloodshot eyes, which was a little anxious and worried.

It seems that they have acquainted.
