I'm working on infrastructure in Xihuan

When Ruffal woke up, he was already at the entrance of the Moon Mountain Range and was about to enter the mountain.

A silver-haired Hall threw him a set of light armor and a sword, urging him to change into it quickly and start early, regardless of the fact that Ruffal had just woken up and his head hadn't tied the string, and almost drew his sword when he got the weapon Give him a note and treat them as some kind of kidnapping gang.

... In fact, in terms of the nature of the behavior, it is not much different from kidnapping.

While thinking about it, Issie took out the duke badge that Lucien gave him to prove his identity, and said: "I left a corpse at the scene, and some of your blood and personal belongings, all that should be disposed of It's dealt with, and the rest of Lucy will be taken care of—the news of your death should be made public in a few days."

"I will escort you to the principality, and the new identity and residence will be given to you there."

Ruffal snatched the badge from Issy's hand and inspected every corner over and over again. He had to admit that it was the real thing. Hearing Issy's self-identification, it proved that Hall in front of him was Lucien. The man who stinky brother.

Ruffal threw the badge back into Izzy's hand, and asked in a vicious voice, "Where's that guy?"

After all the painstaking efforts to tie him up, according to Lucien's character, he should show his face in the end to comfort (chao) comfort (feng) him a few words.

Yixi carefully put the badge in the inner pocket of his clothes, and replied: "Lu Xi has gone to the imperial capital—you know, the sealing ceremony of His Royal Highness the First Prince."

As a duke with proper royal blood and a large fiefdom, Lucien belongs to the group of people who must attend the canonization ceremony. He set off from the fiefdom to the imperial capital early, and the itinerary is almost here now.

"..." Ruffal took a deep breath, stood up with a stinky face and began to put on the armor.At this time, there is no room for him to express his opinions. Not to mention that Yixi's strength is several steps stronger than him, and he can be pressed to death with bare hands. Even if no one supervises him to move freely, he will not May run out and deny his own death.

The risk of helping him escape by feigning death is extremely high, and Lucien may be implicated if there is even the slightest leak.This kind of struggle involving inheritance rights has never had any brotherhood at all, but if Lucien is so suspicious, everything he has worked so hard to manage will be in vain in an instant.

In particular, Rufar remembered that he had placed a large stack of their letters in the residence of the imperial capital, all of which could be used as evidence of the close personal relationship between Lucien and him.

Therefore, when "Ruffal" dies, he must die cleanly and thoroughly, without any reminiscent ghosts and undead wandering around.

Ruffal is someone who has been able to fight Luthers for so many years, so he made a decision in a flash of his mind.He changed into light armor and weighed the sword Yixi gave him. He drew the sword and swung two swords lightly.

"It's lighter." He commented, rubbing the hilt of the sword to familiarize himself with the feel of the new weapon as soon as possible.

The Moon Mountains are not a place that can be climbed just like traveling in mountains and rivers. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, the team only has him, Issy and another Hall.

Although with a prince-level guard, Yixi didn't have much expectation for this actual combat ability.

That’s right, when danger comes, you know how to run to a safe place, and listen to those who have experienced it honestly, and don’t try to force the theory into reality.

Dave, who was almost planted in the Moon Mountains, must have a good understanding of this.

It's a pity that he is now on his way to the imperial capital with Lucien, and he doesn't have the opportunity to exchange experience with Rufar.

Lucien returned to the imperial capital as a duke in a serious manner this time, and whether he wanted to or not, he still had to fight.The luxurious carriages that had been left in the warehouse for several years were taken out again, some less bright decorations that had been placed for a long time were removed, and some new ones were added. The colts pulled were descendants of the previous colts. Sean's aesthetic is not inlaid with extra gem decorations, and his thick and smooth pure black carapace is full of aura.

If Izzy hadn't been entrusted by Lucien to deal with Rufar, he would definitely have followed this trip personally—now is the moment when the situation is the most uncertain, and if Rufaer's side is not in order, he will be caught to death, Lu The people under Seth couldn't guarantee that there was no disagreement at all, and no matter which side wanted to attack, a weak person like Lucien would be the best target to attack.

Pick the soft persimmons and pinch them.

It's not that Lucien can't understand.

He persuaded Issy to transport Ruffal with "this matter is very important, and you are the only one I can rest assured about". Now is the best chance to get Ruffal out, the danger is small and the concealment is high, and Lucy En was "sick" again due to the exhaustion of traveling and traveling. As long as Izzy did things cleanly enough, Lucien would be able to get rid of the suspicion as much as possible.

Lucien was sick and lay down in the carriage all the way to the imperial capital, with so many eyes staring inside and out, he didn't even pass out a letter except for his daily official documents, and the people around him were all honest In fact, I can't catch the slightest change.

After this time, his aesthetic orientation in the eyes of the public will really be fixed on the young, beautiful and powerful silver-haired Hall.

Well, proviso - male.

After all, Izzy, who was inseparable from him before, was a beautiful Hall, but now he has a new face, and he is also a Hall mercenary with delicate features and a light body.

But the style is different.

"They say Holroyer looks like a dog." Locke sat cross-legged on the soft and thick carpet, stretched out his hand to grab a plate of snacks from the table and ate them.

Lucien was flipping through the latest novel produced by writer Velvet, and gave Locke a little attention, and said indifferently: "I like dogs."

It's not this kind of kitten who has clashed with his attributes.

"I see—" Locke curled his lips and protracted the end of his voice, "I'm also forced by the mission, please bear with me, it's not far from the emperor."

He is completely different from Issy's sharpness and sternness. His eyebrows and eyes are so delicate that people can't tell the beauty of men and women. His long silver hair is braided into delicate braids. His golden eyes are always filled with a gentle and clear smile. There is also a very shallow dimple and a slightly raised lip line, which perfectly transformed Hall's mercenary's bloody hostility into a cute and lively one.

Especially when he was sitting on the ground sipping snacks like this, he looked like a lazy and coquettish cat on a lady's lap, one couldn't imagine his fierce appearance covered in blood, with sharp claws and fangs.

But he is indeed the master second only to Izzy among the younger generation of the Hall clan. His efficiency in stealth and assassination missions is much higher than Izzy's, and the success rate of single-player missions is also astonishingly high.

He is probably the best lone ranger of the Hall family. If there is a solo mission, there is no one more suitable than him.

Lucien snorted noncommittally, and acted coquettishly towards Locke's cat.Of course, it was impossible for Lucien to bring Locke on his own initiative, but Issy forced him to take the guards with him at all times. For this reason, Issie emptied most of his family fortune. After all, mercenaries of Locke's level are really expensive.

The only thing Hall can rest assured is his fellow clan, and if anyone in the world wants nothing to happen to Lucien, the Hall clan that has gradually prospered under Lucien's various policies must be in the top three.

There is no second lord like Lucien in this world who can treat them equally as his own people, not only respect their beliefs and customs, but also not overly guard against them, and sincerely hope that their Life can get better, and you don't have to leave your hometown to make a living.

Because it was the lord who wanted to protect, Locke thought he had given Issy a friendship price.

Then he saw Lucien turn over two more pages of that boring novel just by the name, yawned and stretched - judging by the degree to which they hit the characters, this was already It's extremely boring.

It is easy to cause accidents if the cat is bored too much. With the mentality of saving the innocent beating workers in the team (and he is really boring), Locke took the initiative to raise a topic that Lucien might be interested in.

"Speaking of which, the official brought out this time is the brown-haired one named Dave. I've seen him before."

"But he seems to have always regarded me as a girl. When I saw him in the hut a few days ago, he was so scared that he ran out without even fastening his pants."

Locke held his chin and showed a cat's cute smile, "It's quite interesting."

Lucien stopped flipping the book, and a few seconds later he threw the really boring novel aside and asked, "And then?"

"If I remember correctly, you seem to already have a partner?"

He vaguely had the impression that when he and Izzy wrote letters a few years ago, Izzy mentioned how close Locke was to his partner, and that they corresponded more frequently than them.

Since "partner" is used to describe it, it is an extremely formal relationship in the concept of the Hall family. According to the customs of the Hall family, there will not be any changes in the relationship at this stage, and it will basically be with the person around you. To spend a lifetime together.

But look at Locke's reaction to Dave...

Lucien was not sure what the situation was.

But it's going to sound interesting anyway - at least a little bit more interesting than that novel.
