Section 44 arrangement

Io chuckled. "Lyle, so you don't understand the cause and effect of this. ”

"But big brother, as long as you can buy Ashrufat, then this matter will not be a matter at all. Lyle said unrelentingly. "If he comes forward to report to the church......

"I can't afford to pay for it. Io replied. "Lyle, do you remember the time you tricked him into gambling?"

"What's wrong?"

"Although the mercenaries are outlaws who want money and don't want to die, you have to convince them to cooperate with the dark magician...... You'll have to pay a price for everything. And at an unusual price. Io replied. "What kind of price, you say, will make Ashrufat join willingly instead of leaving?"

"What is it?"

"Of course, it's my Aunt Mary's entire legacy. You should know that my aunt has no children...... When she dies, you say, who will her inheritance belong?"

"You mean......" Lyle snapped into his eyes.

"That's right, that's what it means. Besides, didn't you say before that a mercenary who was supposed to be a poor man suddenly came up with a staggering sum of money. In fact, you don't need to ask the answer to this question, it must have been given by my aunt. Compared to this, I really don't have the chips in my hands to buy him. Forget it, don't talk about that, go to the church guys. I have to meet with them as soon as possible. ”

"I don't know if it's too late for ...... today," Lyle said.

"If it doesn't work today, it will work tomorrow. ”

"Tomorrow? But tomorrow is the first day of the Jockey Club......"

"It doesn't matter. Then again, I haven't been to a jockey club in a long time. Since he left...... It seems like it's been almost ten years in the blink of an eye. ”

Lyle came out into the street. Today's weather is very good, the sun is warm on the body, and even the mood is better. Actually, it's not appropriate to say that, because Lyle has been in a good mood lately. Now he can wander the streets without worrying about meeting someone and embarrassingly saying things like "I'll pay back next time."

"Lyle!" a voice suddenly sounded. The voice was so harsh that he couldn't help but shudder. But after a few seconds, he realized that he didn't have any need to be afraid. So he stopped, turned his head slowly, and looked at the one who was shouting.

This one is indeed an acquaintance.

"Oh, isn't this Mr. Gray? Good day, Mr. Gray!" Lyle greeted with a smile. But Gray doesn't look "peaceful" at all. At this moment, Gray's face was pale, his expression was serious, and his whole body seemed to be trembling slightly. "What, you're looking for me?"

"Lyle!" Gray's voice was unceremonious, completely devoid of the gentleness of a businessman. "You actually lied to me!"

"You can't lie to you, how could I lie to you?" replied Lyle, still smiling. This out-of-town guy actually wants to question him?!

"You're lying to me that the Governor is on his way to debriefing!" shouted Gray. "Obviously, it's a transfer! And this letter of introduction you gave me," he pulled out a document from his bosom, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it with his foot. "It's no different from butt wipe!"

"Oh, there's no conflict between debriefing and transfer. Was it wrong for me to say that he went to the royal city to report on his work?" Lyle still smiled. "As for the transfer, that's not certain. There has never been any explicit provision that the governor will be transferred when he returns to the royal city to report to his duties. ”

"Nonsense! This has been the habit here for many years! It has always been like this!"

"Well, Mr. Grey, we are all civilized people. Civilized people speak with evidence. You say I lied to you, so at least make it clear where I lied to you, don't spew blood. Is there any provision that says that the Governor's return to report on his duties is tantamount to a transfer? If there is such a provision, then I apologize to you because I do not know enough about officialdom. He replied with a nonchalant expression.

"You bastard! Did you know you're hurting me?!! because of you goddamn shit, I've reported the wrong progress to headquarters! and now I'm not doing anything!" Gray was furious and punched me. Unfortunately, although Lyle was completely vulnerable to Ashrufat, he was younger, stronger, and more agile than Gray. The punch was easily dodged.

"Is that good? Mr. Grey. Lyle said. "Although I'm not averse to having a boxing fight. But this is on the street, and there are people from the security team at any time. ”

Gray was furious and pounced again. This time, Lyle was not so polite. He dodged his opponent's fist and landed a hard punch on Gray's chin. The latter was beaten backwards and lay on the street with his face facing the sky.

"It's going to calm you down. Lyle whistled, then turned around and left.

There were a few people around to see the excitement. But this conflict process is really short, so there are few people watching the excitement. Of course, none of them helped Gray, who had fallen.

It took quite a while for Gray to slowly get up from the ground. He spat hard at the ground, his eyes flashing with resentment.

......

Spring horse racing in Brasian is different from other festivals in that it has a fixed time and a fixed venue. Specifically, on a hill on the outskirts of the city. There was a large enough open space to accommodate a large number of people for the party. Standing on the top of the hill, you can easily watch the horse race, which revolves around the hill.

At this time of year, a few local dignitaries come forward to organize the event, arranging tables with white towels and chairs in the open space. This lively rally does not require invitations, and everyone near them will come to attend.

When Ashrufat and the two sisters arrived at the rally, it was not too early. At this time, there were people and horses walking around everywhere. Almost all of these horses are the horses that will be competing tomorrow, and they are being brought in by their owners to show off at this moment.

According to a deep-rooted custom, the nobility and the commoners became two distinct circles. And the two circles are divided into countless small circles. Relatives or friends who can talk to each other get together and laugh.

Today the sun is shining, bringing the warmth of spring. In this beautiful weather, coming to the suburbs for a spring outing is undoubtedly a relaxing thing. Everyone was talking and laughing, exchanging all kinds of stories and stories.

More than one person greeted the two sisters, and both sisters responded with a smile. Although their smiles were a little reluctant. In fact, they are uneasy at this time, and they are just going through the motions of coming here today. However, when they go around a table, they are spotted by Ace.

"Oh dear, you're finally here. Lady Ace was overjoyed to see the two of them, and rose to meet them. "I thought you weren't well enough to attend. ”

"No, we're fine. Xingke replied.

"Oh, let's sit here. Ace invited. As one of the best gossip people, Ace had seven or eight women gathered around her at this time (they were discussing something before the two sisters arrived). This table, with the words of the two sisters and Ashrufat, just filled the table. In the face of this warm invitation, even the two sisters had to be perfunctory for a while. So the three of them sat down.

"Feelings are good...... Ace also returned to her original position, and through the keen insight of a woman's talent, she had noticed a small change. The distance between Ashrufat and the two sisters has decreased significantly. They had deliberately kept a distance from each other, but now there wasn't much distance left.

"Oh, Mr. Ashrufat, I heard that you have also signed up for tomorrow's horse race?" Ace immediately provoked this most sensitive topic. This is a topic that all women care about. Every year, horse racing is almost full of strong people, and the victory or defeat is a very suspenseful thing.

"Yes, I also participated. Ashrufat said with some embarrassment.

"So, what horse are you going to ride?" someone asked.

There was an uproar from the crowd, interrupting the conversation for the time being. Then Ashruphat saw a tall, fiery red horse approaching from the other direction, with a stranger riding on it.

"Oh, it's the famous 'Red Lightning'! last year's champion!" Ace exclaimed. "What a beautiful horse!"

"How am I ...... Haven't seen it?" Ashrufat looked at the stranger, and the stranger's eyes tightened.

"Oh, dear. Ace replied with a smile. "He's not a local, he's just here to compete. This time it's just to show off. ”

It's a fitting word to show off. The strange rider rode through at a very slow pace, causing the women to exclaim and the men to look at them with envy and hatred. It was clear that he was enjoying the feeling.

In the blink of an eye, the red horse had arrived not far from the table of Ashrufat. While a lot of people shouted at the rider, the showy rider turned around and waved to the crowd at the loudest spot.

He shouldn't have turned back, because in the next moment a uniformed servant happened to run past the side of the horse. Because he was running too fast, a gust of wind blew his hat away, and the red soft hat flew to the horse's head.

The red horse suddenly let out a neighing and leaped violently. This is inherently common for horses, as horses are easily frightened animals. If that rider is prepared, he should be able to resolve this accident into invisibility. Unfortunately, he was completely unprepared, so he didn't have time to react at this time, and he couldn't control the horse. The horses were surrounded by crowds, full of tables, chairs, and people standing. If the frightened horse flies out of the way, it will undoubtedly cause a great tragedy.

Ashrufaat rushed over in time. Before the horse tried to break out, he grabbed the horse's bridle from the side. Although the horse was leaping and struggling, Ashrufat was so strong that he grabbed the horse so hard that it only turned around twice and then quieted down. A tragedy is averted.

"Ahh They couldn't help but exclaim.

When Ashrufat returned, the women at the table applauded him, and then he realized that the two sisters were missing.
