I met true love in my dream

Has this majesty had such an aura before?

Doubts arose in John's heart, but it was actually the first time he had come into close contact with this Highness. In his opinion, this young Highness was just a flower in a greenhouse, how could it possibly withstand the wind and rain outside? , let alone governing the entire huge Starry Night City.

The existence of Starry Night City is extremely special to the entire empire, to a certain extent, it has broken away from the empire's jurisdiction and become an independent territory.After the young city lord came to the throne, his Barus family undoubtedly had greater privileges than before, which made his ambition even more inflated.

But now, this His Highness has come to the subordinate territory without warning, and his words and deeds can feel a kind of unfathomable in addition to being decent and elegant. His smile and words are not at all like a child who has been living purely in the castle. Sure enough, did he underestimate this little genius?

A look of panic appeared on John's face, "These are just rumors that came from nowhere. These snow sturgeons were just bought outside by chance, and they were taken out of the warehouse to entertain His Highness."

"Really? It seems that Lord John's luck is really good. If you don't mind, please tell me where to buy it. After all, I also like snow sturgeon very much." The arc of the corner of his mouth did not change, and his eyes fell on On the agate and gold decorations behind him, "These decorations are also extremely luxurious."

John laughed: "I bought them all with my savings. After all, my hobby is these beautiful things. As for the way to buy snow sturgeon, I will ask the kitchen steward when the time comes."

Mila stood quietly behind Chu Muyu, her eyes fell on Chu Muyu, and she suppressed her surprise in her heart. This was the first time she saw His Highness's dignified posture, as expected of His Highness.

However, she shifted her gaze to John Barus, this guy who looked respectful on the surface but was actually extremely rude, a cold light flashed in her eyes.As a maid, her first task is to take good care of His Highness, but if necessary, she will also eliminate all factors that are unfavorable to His Highness.

John didn't realize that the girl standing dignifiedly behind Chu Muyu had murderous intentions towards him, and he still found excuses with ease.

Chu Muyu didn't continue to ask any more questions. After dinner, Chu Muyu and his party left the mansion under the watchful eyes of John Barus. They had their own mansion in Bustan, but it was not as good as this one.

Watching the carriage gradually go away, Manfeili asked her father: "Will His Highness come here again tomorrow?"

John: "Tomorrow probably won't come."

In the carriage, Forsythe was dissatisfied with what he saw in Barus's mansion tonight, "Your Highness, what are you going to do about John Barus' overstepping the distance?"

As the second son of the Brown family, Forsythein received an orthodox education since he was a child, and now he has become Chu Muyu's personal knight. His political stance is undoubtedly on this side, so he cannot accept Baloo Such a move of the Si family.

Chu Muyu looked at the building standing quietly in the dark night, and replied: "Tomorrow I will go back to a place outside the city."

He wants to see how far the Barus family has gone.

-

The next day, Chu Muyu and his party set off after having breakfast in the mansion, and left the bustling city. As the carriage drove slowly, the scenery outside gradually changed.

If the central city of Bustan is compared to a young and fashionable beautiful woman, then the suburbs of Bustan are an old man who is dying.Most of the houses built on the yellow soil are stone houses and wooden houses. Many houses have wooden fences in front of their doors. Occasionally, a few horses are tied at the door. People outside are wearing simple and plain clothes.

It is like two worlds with the people living in the city.

Since the appearance of carriages is relatively rare in this suburb, Chu Muyu can clearly see the curious eyes of the people on the side of the road looking over from the side of the road—doubt, puzzlement, surprise, envy.

——Why would nobles come to such a place?

The sun was hot, and the direct sunlight shone on the land, and it seemed that strands of white smoke could be seen rising from the scorched land.There is a magic device to adjust the temperature in the carriage, so Chu Muyu can't feel the heat outside.

"The person sitting in the carriage is a nobleman, why did he come here?"

"It can't be the master of the Barus family, right? It's really shameless."

Some people showed resentment. The Barus family imposed high taxes on them, and even restricted their access to the city. There was a clear distinction between the rich and the poor. How could they not hate it.

Wearing light armor, Willie and Ender were tall, tall and majestic. Most people dare not approach this carriage.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

A group of five or six-year-old children rushed up from the side, and the carriage had to stop.

The leader was a boy who seemed to be a little older. He stood in the front, opened his arms, raised his head and shouted loudly: "My lord, please help us!"

Yue Ze held the saber by his side, blocked Chu Muyu, and looked outside vigilantly.

Chu Muyu's heart warmed, she patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "It's okay."

He lifted the curtain and stood outside.A group of children stared at him dumbfounded, completely unaware that the imaginary nobleman turned out to be a child who looked only a few years older than them.

Ban Li opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at this noble young master in luxurious attire. He was as beautiful and clean as the little prince he saw in fairy tales. He had never seen such a good-looking person in real life. , For the first time, he felt a sense of self-failure.

Chu Muyu was not angry, and had a very gentle attitude: "What's the matter with you?"

Ban Li immediately came back to his senses, and responded, "Master, please forgive us for our rude behavior, but we really have nothing to do."

Banli is the only child in the orphanage in this place, and several children with him are also in the orphanage. Most of these children were abandoned by their parents and grew up in the orphanage.In the beginning, the director of the orphanage could barely afford the expenses here, but in recent years, the Barus family has continued to raise taxes, and the orphanage has gradually been unable to afford the high expenses, and it has become increasingly difficult.

Just last month, the orphanage, which has been unable to afford the tax, was warned by the army who came to collect the tax. If the fee is not paid, then they can only take back the land for other purposes.

"The older brothers and sisters have no choice but to go out and find something to do to make money, but there are no high-paying jobs here. If you go to the urban area, you have to pay. We have no way to pay that much money."

Chu Muyu and his group followed Banli to the orphanage. It was a small orphanage with fences surrounding the house and vegetables and fruits growing outside. Although it looked simple, it made people feel warm.

It was the first time for Yue Ze and Fuxi Saiyin to come to this kind of place, because Yue Ze had been wandering outside, although he was young, he had already tasted all kinds of hardships, and he was not very touched by the scene in front of him.However, Forsythein was greatly shocked, unable to imagine what kind of life these children lived.

The faces of these five or six-year-old children couldn't see the innocence that they should have at this age, and their sun-tanned faces were full of sorrow.

"If this place is demolished, all of us will have no place to live." Banley clenched his fists.

There are also younger children who cry directly.

Benli can be regarded as the most mature of this group of children, "I also know that our request is very rude, and I don't know if you know John Barrus, sir, I hope he can delay our tax payment by a few minutes moon."

"Or whether you need a servant or not, we can do it, and you can hire us."

Ben looked at him expectantly.

Chu Muyu looked at this group of children, his immature face was full of confusion and longing for the future, as well as pleading with him, enough to soften the heart of any hard-hearted person, not to mention, as the city lord of Starry Night City, these children It is his people, and he has a responsibility to these children.

Chu Muyu showed them a comforting smile: "Don't worry, I have friendship with the Barus family, and I won't let them demolish this place."

In fact, Banli knew that this was not an easy request. He knew the nature of most nobles, such as arrogance, conceit, extravagance and lust. Seeing a noble carriage in this suburb where there were only poor people, he also felt hopeless. Thought of giving it a try, although the noble inside was unexpectedly a young master who was not much older than them, after making the request, he didn't hold much hope in his heart.

Can such a noble young master understand them?Would you like to help them?

However, when this beautiful and clean young master smiled and agreed to tell them not to worry, Ban Li thought for a moment that he had heard wrong, and then the next second, tears flowed from the child's eyes.

"Master, thank you very much."

"Thank you sir!"

The children all opened their mouths to thank, with hope shining in their eyes.

The nobleman's words cannot be trusted, and Banli knows this truth, but looking at the noble young master and listening to what he said, Banli has no doubt that he is just talking, maybe he looks very trustworthy.

Banli wiped away his tears and smiled: "Thank you."

After leaving the orphanage, Chu Muyu didn't get into the carriage, he walked around and looked around.There are still a few families around the orphanage. On the left is a slope, and you can look down from the top to a house below, and there is a large piece of dense woods; on the right is the deserted monastery, and the door has already been covered with weeds. and moss.

Only the orphanage in the middle still showed some vitality.
