Esdeth squatted by the carriage and stroked the hare left over from last night, and then stabbed the hare in the back of the neck with one finger to kill it immediately.

In order to prevent the excrement from contaminating the meat, she wants to give the hare the illusion of being alive.

"There are guns and arrows in the haystacks of the back panel truck."

Xia Ge nodded, otherwise, why would he go with this caravan? It probably contains military equipment from the border. Caravans are probably no exceptions, all of them are members of this interest group, slowly lying on the empire's finances to suck blood.

But it has nothing to do with them, so Xia Ge just nodded to show that he knew.

"Add some chili." Xia Ge threw her a small bottle and turned into the carriage.

Estes took out a flint from his breastplate and lit a fire. The hare was skinned, boned and gutted, and then a bowl of solidified ointment was put on the fire to be roasted.

While waiting, she looked at the small bottle in her hand, which contained red powder with a very pungent taste.

Considering that Shager didn't need to poison, she dipped a little bit into her mouth with her finger, then frowned involuntarily.

……

More than ten days later, the caravan arrived in Beijun, which was a majestic giant city.Even among the three counties of the North Road, it is the core one. The city wall is thick and simple, with scratches from sharp weapons and scorched black left by the fire. In history, the most foreign peoples in the north have only been here before, and then they were blocked by it. .

The number of people in the caravan was obviously less, people kept leaving in the towns along the way, and the only outsiders left were Xia Ge and his wife.

"My lord, the prefect hopes that you can attend his dinner tomorrow." Laide said respectfully, as early as the day Xia Ge promised, he had already sent someone to return to the prefect's mansion to report the situation, and it was scheduled tomorrow to refresh Tegu. time.

"Okay, but I have to buy clothes for my sister first." Xia Ge said with a smile.

Do you want to make it more obvious, money!house!

Laide slapped his head, then said apologetically, "Your accommodation has been arranged, and the remaining gold coins are also in the mansion."

"It's work..."

"Don't dare."

Lai De asked his deputy to lead the caravan to hand over the supplies, and he took Xia Ge and the two into Beijun City.

The streets are wide and full of people. There are listless old people begging in the sun, and there are also noisy children chasing their partners. Young people squat in the corner and watch the bustling people in front of them. Pets wandered behind the attendants.

"I don't know your name yet."

A cold question came from behind.

"Xia Ge, Xia of summer, Ge of style, how about you?"

"Esdes, Esdes of the Baluts clan."

"Um……"

Chapter 95 Detecting the bottom line

The new residence is a mansion with a garden. The overall scale is not too big. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the pool and fountain. On both sides are green plants that only reach your waist. The mansion is surrounded by tall walls. The center is the second floor tall castle.

As the sun set, Estes stood in the garden wearing a newly bought white dress. She seemed to like this snow-like color very much.

On the opposite side, Xia Ge took off his shirt and waved at her. Now that he is free, he should give her a beating first to see what happened.

"Don't underestimate me."

"How can..."

Esdeth lowered her body and sprinted forward like a leopard. When she was still a few meters away from Shager, she kicked her legs into the air. At this moment, her center of gravity was concentrated on her chest, her arms swung naturally, and the power was transmitted from her waist to her. Right leg, then twist and pull out like a whip.

Xia Ge's left leg was like a javelin on the ground. Before Esdeth's kick came, his upper body sank to the right and rear, and his right leg drew a half-arc from behind. His upper body just missed the opponent's attack, and his heel was precise. It hit her lower back, and the strength of her legs drove her body. In the end, Shager stood still as if he didn't react at all. Only Esdesh was kicked out.

"It's too obvious. Humans are different from wild beasts. We must learn to hide our attacking intentions."

Esdeth rolled a few times and stood up, but the opponent barely exerted any force.Otherwise, the complete paralysis of the spinal column is the best result.

Shager walked up to her and kicked his right leg high and sideways. Esdeth supported it with his left elbow, and then bent his right arm at a right angle to hit his right leg. If it was an ordinary person, the reverse fracture would probably be the lower It's a matter of a second.But she sensibly did not worry about the safety of this opponent.

Xiager's right leg changed from a straight kick position to lying on the left side, and at the same time retracted the calf and thigh together. Esdesi's blow only made the right leg sink, and then Xiager took advantage of her exhausted strength to continue With the knee as the fulcrum, the lower leg swept upwards obliquely, just hitting Esdesh's defenseless rib due to the attack.

Esdeth felt only half of her body paralyzed, and the force from her left forced her to stagger to the right.Just when she was about to stand still, Xia Ge leaned on his shoulder and knocked her to the ground.

It turned out that Xia Ge immediately retracted his right leg after the calf was swept out, and then walked slowly in front of siders. He was still hesitating whether to punch the other party, but after thinking about it, he decided to save some face for her.

"Are you playing turn-based? Since it takes so long to stand firm, it's better to just fall down. It's better to fall into a disadvantage than to die directly."

Bullying people... Esdeath could clearly feel that his buttocks had lost feeling.Not only this fall, but also the impact left by the previous lower back.

"Come again..."

Estes stood up abruptly, as if shielding her body from the negative state, she concentrated all her strength on her right fist and swung at the opponent's head, in an attempt to directly determine the outcome.

Xia Ge took a small step to the right, then turned his head slightly to avoid the imposing punch, Esdeth was driven forward by inertia because he missed the hit, and before she had time to brake, Xia Ge hit her chin with the palm of her right hand, and at the same time clasped her fist on her shoulder with her left hand. She turned around and fell over her shoulder, causing Esdeth's back to hit the ground hard.

The direction of force of pushing and clasping hands was completely opposite, and Esdeth's right arm was already dislocated.

"How dare you, isn't this a gift? Whoever taught you how to use it will start at the head." Xia Ge's complexion was not so good that his tone became yin and yang. Under the premise of changing direction midway.

Even if the enemy is of comparable level, it is not difficult to judge the location of the landing point as long as they are calm.Except for the adrenaline-fueled street fights, there are basically no restraints and cover-ups.

"Father..." Esdeth's voice was broken because of his difficulty in breathing.

"Sorry, it's my fault." Xia Ge pinched his earlobe with his hands in embarrassment.

The original white clothes were covered with broken leaves and dirt, Xia Ge took her arms back, carried her back and walked into the gazebo.

"Regular hunting of wild beasts makes your way of fighting the enemy more wild, in other words it is rough. If you have absolute strength, then it is natural enough to only use strength and speed. But you are not yet the top, you need skills Let's make the transition."

"Yes……"

"In the future, you must maintain a regular schedule. If you want to improve your physique, you must cherish your body, especially your diet. It is a taboo to eat when you are hungry and eat when you are full. Your previous living conditions have slowed down your progress."

Estes stared at the receding ground and remained silent.It is difficult for even the best hunter to achieve satisfactory results when there is a lack of prey in winter.Even if she had a good harvest in other seasons, she still couldn't watch her clansmen starve to death.

In the gazebo, Xia Ge used the dark light to cover the place, then put Esdeth on the stone table, and took off his shirt.

There are varying degrees of bruises on the shoulders, ribs, and lower back.

"Don't worry, I don't think it's decent to force something like that."

"It's up to you..." Estes said with a reddened face.

"It's wise to retreat to advance."

Xia Ge shook his head, and used Doctor Crow's healing ability to heal the broken capillaries and tiny bone cracks in her body, which was equivalent to cold compresses and self-healing, and then heated his palms for massage to evacuate the blood stasis.

"It's done..." Xia Ge wiped the sweat from his hands with his sleeve. It is understandable that the other party sweats under the high temperature after a lot of exercise, and there is nothing to dislike.

Estes put on his clothes and moved his body, but there was nothing serious except for a little pain.

"Thank you..."

"Forget it, I'll go with you to the eunuch's dinner party tomorrow night."

Estes asked suspiciously, "What am I going to do?"

"Help me out of trouble, if there is a woman who is entangled, you can show off your force."

Xia Ge replied calmly, as long as he is not an enemy, he is generally unwilling to argue with the opposite sex.But just as there is no shortage of smart people in the world, and of course there is no shortage of people who can't figure it out, there will always be jaw-dropping existences among the decadent nobles.And the methods used by the prefect to tie up a Teigu envoy are all the same.

Xia Ge blinked, and suddenly felt a bit like green tea.

"I'll rub a pair of soft armor for you at night, and I'll take it as a reward."

Estes tilted his head, not understanding why he wanted to make another piece of equipment for himself. She hasn't figured out the name of the previous knife yet.

"Can that knife give me a name."

"Poison knife?"

Estes shook his head fiercely, the name ruined all the commemorative meaning at once.

"Green blade?"

"You deliberately."

"Then do whatever you want, there is no bonus anyway."

Chapter 96 Prefect

In the evening of the next day, the prefect's mansion.

The mansion is different from the official office as an office location, it is not serious to show authority, as if everything here is serving the mood of the prefect.

In the spacious reception hall, the crystal chandelier is like a pine tree hanging upside down from the ceiling, and the bright yellow light scatters from it. An orange flame burns in the two-person-high fireplace, and the heat gradually spreads to the entire hall, even if it is winter outside. In the twelfth lunar month, it can still keep warm indoors.

A long table runs across the middle of the hall, on which there are dishes made from dangerous species as well as seasonal fruits transported from the south.

The rewards for dangerous species in North County are to enrich the diet of high-level officials.Otherwise, the disappearance of a few villages may only be worthy of their after-dinner jokes, and with the transportation conditions of the current empire, fresh fruits from the south can be seen on the table, and there must be a bloody scene behind it.

The protagonist is a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. He has a good figure, at least he is not as potbellied as Ryder, and his temples have turned white.But the short straight hair makes him look very energetic.

Behind the prefect is a sturdy figure wearing a full body armor. If it weren't for the eyes exposed on the visor, the whole person would be no different from the decorations.

Xia Ge was sitting at the lower left of the eunuch. He cut up the steak with a knife and fork, and then sent it to the plate of Esthers next to him. He made no secret of his intimacy with her in his words and deeds. A girl in a long black dress had a gloomy expression on the opposite side. watching this scene.

There were only five people at the banquet, and the remaining one was Laid, who was acting as the atmosphere group, and he was telling jokes without any feedback with a smile on his face.

The eunuch put a piece of meat filled with brown sauce into his mouth and chewed carefully, then put down the tableware softly and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief.

"If you don't want to, my niece will be sad." There was just the right amount of regret in his tone, as if it was such a great loss to refuse the marriage.

Xia Ge shook his head with a normal face and said: "Thanks to the prefect's love, although I have always regarded Esdesi as a younger sister. But we grew up together, and there is no more suitable wife for me than her."

Beside, Estes was seriously sucking the sauce in the meat, which she often eats dangerously.But this salty and rich mixed seasoning brought the deliciousness of the meat to another level. She didn't care much about Shager's nonsense, after all, she was just beaten yesterday.

Under the table, Xia Ge stepped on her hard.

"I've always wanted to be my brother's wife." Estes pressed the piece of meat between his cheeks and teeth with his tongue, and said vaguely.

Can you swallow your meal before you talk... Shager secretly slandered that Esdeth was his designated tool man, and the promotion ceremony of Sequence 6-The Scarlet Duke is obviously more inclined to farming, and it takes time and energy Many, he is going to train Esdeth to accomplish this, and he is practicing knives behind the scenes, trying to improve his physique and knives skills to a higher level.

The cold wind beat against the glass windows of the mansion and made a shrill sound. A row of maids came up. The leader was a beautiful woman with black hair like a waterfall. She held a cup of tea with both hands. The prefect took it and began to rinse her mouth. , and then spit the mouthwash into the bowl.

He coughed lightly and said, "How long will Tegu envoy plan to stay in Beijun City?"

Since the other party was unwilling to be tied to death in his own carriage, he had to ask how long the other party was going to serve.

Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer Teigu left in the empire, and many of them have fallen into the hands of individuals and hostile forces. Coupled with the harsh conditions of use, Teigu envoys have indeed become rare.If you can have a Tegu envoy standing by your side, at least your safety will be well guaranteed.

As the big city closest to the border in Beijun, he, the prefect, is naturally a key member of the huge blood-sucking network. He knows the smog in the area better than anyone else, so he pays more attention to his own safety. Will care about his life, the other party should wait for the death of the old emperor to go further.
