Throne Steps

When Saenz's guards came to solve the crowd problem, people seemed to feel a little different from these white uniforms.

Or rather, different from before.

Many of the people crowded here are residents of the capital of the temple, and they have seen pure white guards many times.Although the law stipulates that nobles cannot keep private soldiers, when these guards wearing gold-edged white uniforms appear on the street, people seem to subconsciously forget that these people are actually mercenaries, and they are not really pure white in name.People looked at these mercenaries, just as believers saw the knights guarding the temple.

And just like the setting of the pure white color, the guard team in the past also gave people the feeling of being holy, kind and gentle.Secretly, a small group of young girls in the temple capital even voted on which one had the cutest smile and which one looked serious but was easily shy.

It can be said that if people still respect the pure white color from the bottom of their hearts, these pure white guards, which are mostly composed of handsome and handsome men, will probably be smashed all over their heads by various flowers, handkerchiefs and even fans every time they go out. full face.

However, the guards who came to maintain order this time seemed to be different.

Their attire is still the familiar white background and gold trim, but all of them are solemn, with a sharp look between their brows.When they came in line, what people felt was not the pleasing to the eye in the past, but a chilling atmosphere that was almost insulated from the capital of the temple.

The wild eagle's long cry came from the sky again, it didn't land or leave, it just circled above people's heads.

"Everyone obeys the command!"

The captain of this team climbed up a small four-story building from the outside with his bare hands, stood on the top of the building, drew out his saber, and held it up high: "Those who are not called by the guards, stay where they are! If a child is squeezed, pick it up and upload it from the top of the head to the inner circle, and hand it over to His Royal Highness Laelier!"

Lelier took the child who was pulled out of the crowd by Li Chen earlier, raised his hand and said in cooperation: "Please believe me!"

"If anyone is injured and can't walk, or the elderly have inconvenient legs and feet, immediately raise your hand and shout, let me see!" The captain of the guard on the roof swung his sword to the right, and opened his left hand, "Now, both ends Follow the command of the guards!... Those who have not been pointed out should not move!"

The slightly impatient person stopped in his tracks immediately.

The crowd slowly disbanded under the leadership of the peripheral guards. The chief guard stood on the roof of the fourth floor, monitoring from a commanding height.

"If someone is dizzy or dehydrated, please raise your hand to report immediately, or if you find someone next to you, please raise your hand immediately!" His eagle eyes carefully inspected the crowd, "Always pay attention, if someone is about to fall, you must help him! If you accidentally fall, immediately lie on your side and curl up with your head in your arms!"

Although these things haven't happened yet, the temperature is not low today, and the captain of the guard is worried that these people will be exhausted after being crowded for a long time.

Li Chen walked up to Lailier, said something in a low voice, Lailier nodded, and called her female officer over again.

After a while, the female officials began to use wind magic to send wind from the center of the encirclement.

After 10 minutes, the crowded crowd was finally untied.The mother of the child who had been being held by the hand rushed to Lerier, hugged her son, and then knelt down on one knee to salute Lerier.

Lailier waved his hand: "I didn't do anything, go thank him."

The woman turned her head and looked in the direction Lelier pointed. It was Li Chen who was talking and the captain of the guard who had just come down from the top of the fourth floor.

So she went to Li Chen and the captain of the guards, and knelt down with the child: "Thank you, sir."

Li Chen glanced at the captain of the guards, his mouth moved silently: I'm looking for you.

The captain in white replied: I was looking for you.

Neither of them spoke for a while, and the woman didn't get up, and continued: "Thank you, Lord Black Swan, for saving my child, and thank you, Lord Guard, for saving us all."

It sounds like Li Chen's contribution is relatively small, but in fact, the guards are only here to prevent crowding and stampede and maintain order, and it is true that Li Chen saved her child.

So the captain of the guards was not very good at answering this sentence: "You are welcome, we are just following the order of His Royal Highness Saenz to come to support His Royal Highness Lailier and the black swan."

To praise three in one sentence, how could it be his turn to lead the team to work in the capital of the temple.

Li Chen was thanked without burden: "You have to remember the lesson yourself, you may not be so lucky next time."

The woman quickly complied, and said a few more words of prayer for the adults and His Highness, and then she took the child and left with gratitude.

The captain of the guard continued to talk to Li Chen in a low voice: "Your Highness wants you to have fun today. If you want to eat and rest outside, remember to send someone back to the mansion to tell you, otherwise someone will be waiting for you. If you want to go to the main mansion, you can also Just ask someone to tell you in advance..."

There were people waiting ... the ladies and waiters, as if he himself were waiting.Li Chen sneered: "He's busy with his work, how can there be so much nonsense, will I die if I leave his long-winded words?"

The captain of the guards did not dare to speak between the two, and after conveying a few more words, he walked towards Lailier.

"Good day, Your Highness." The captain saluted her, "His Highness Saenz wants me to escort you back to the main house."

It is said to be "escort", but it is actually similar to the punishment of catching a bear child home.Lailier also knew the true meaning of it, and asked, "Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is quite fast...can't we talk about it after I finish shopping?"

The captain looked a little embarrassed: "Your Highness, this crowding is caused by the believers wanting to get close to you..."

"Okay, okay, I know." Laier turned his head to look at Lichen again, "What about him?"

"Your Highness only asked me to escort you."

"Oh, so it's the stocking mode in the circle." Lailier smiled lightly. If he hadn't heard her words, the captain of the guard might have thought she was saying something heart-warming.

It has to be said that these words are quite surprising when the captain does not know that Lairier has "changed his personality drastically".Fortunately, this captain has a good flexibility, and he pretended not to hear what Lailier mocked Saenz.

How should I put it... Thinking about it carefully, the tone of Lailier and Li Chen still have a slight similarity - they both sneered at Saenz without any scruples.

"Okay, let's go." Lailier walked towards Li Chen and held out his hand to him, "Goodbye, little swan, see you soon."

Li Chen stepped forward to hold her hand, seemingly kissing the back of her hand, but actually kissed his thumb: "Respectfully, Your Highness."

In the middle of the night, the bright moon is in the sky.

There was silence in the mansion, most people had fallen asleep, and the heavy curtains cut off the moonlight.The guards on duty lined up and passed under the windows on the second floor without making a sound.

Suddenly, accompanied by a slight "swipe--", the curtain opened.

The bright moonlight shone into the room, casting a clear figure on the ground.

He jumped down and stepped on the carpet, as light as a breeze passing through a window.He plunged into the moonless darkness, coming and going as freely as if he could see in the dark.

He approached the big bed in the room, and stretched out his hand towards the tightly covered bed curtain——

Cold light flashed!

A dagger pierced out from the bed curtain that had just exposed a crack, and pointed directly at the throat of the uninvited guest!But the outsider moved faster. He sideways avoided the attack, and opened his hand to grab the wrist holding the sword.Just wait for the person to be caught and dragged out!

The moment he held it, he suddenly realized that he had been tricked——

The other party was wearing a bracelet made of some kind of cubes. The force he exerted to clamp the other party was too late to retract, and the square crystal was crushed in one fell swoop!

In an instant, the freezing effect covers the whole body.

This effect comes and goes quickly, but as long as there is a pause of this second, it is enough to reverse the situation!The outsider was overturned to the ground by the owner of the short sword, and the opponent was pressing on him, with the tip of the sword pressed against his neck.

The skin on the neck can almost feel the coldness from the weapon.

The people who were suppressed below seemed to be threatened with their lives, but they had no timidity or worry, but laughed instead.Hearing his laughter, the dagger was moved forward a little bit, and blood could be cut with a little force.

"Your Highness is visiting late at night, do you have any advice?"

Saenz's voice was deep, and the darkness seemed to add to its magnetism: "If I don't come, wouldn't it make you sleepless every night and wait for me like this?"

The dagger moved: "What did you say!"

"You never close the bed curtain when you sleep, don't you? You purposely close the bed curtain, isn't it just to block my sight from the night attack?" Saenz smiled clearly, "I wanted to come back to do this last night, but Too busy. Sorry to keep you from sleeping well last night, huh?"

Li Chen's anger really came up: "Shut up!"

"If you want to stab, just stab in and get angry." Saenz said indifferently, "I will heal myself before I go out tomorrow."

How to deal with a rogue?

More rascal than him, unfortunately Li Chen didn't want to do that.

Li Chen said with a cold face, "You just want to play tricks on me, don't you?"

"How come..." Saenz sighed, "I came to tell you about the current situation, but I came back really late, so I had to come at this time."

Li Chen simply didn't want to believe a word, it's okay to come back late, but what is the way to attack at night through the window?Speaking of which, Saenz was right, that is, last night Li Chen felt that after the news of "the black swan hits a dozen", maybe this His Highness is going to go crazy, so he did stay on guard all night.

Li Chen hates this kind of tacit understanding now, neither is it to guard against it, nor is it not to guard against it!

"Since you want to talk about the current situation..." The dagger in Li Chen's hand remained motionless, "Then say so."

"The current situation is that the black swan's reputation has been pulled back." Saenz didn't mind the other party's pressure on him at all, and was even very happy, "Say you have a good relationship with Lailier, and you must not offend Pure White. He must be a good person because of his color, and he can save children. From this point of view, there will be no problem for you to go to the ceremony as a black swan."

Li Chen stared at him, well, Li Chen, who is a bit night blind, stared in the direction of Saenz's face: "What else?"

Saenz replied: "Also, the Patriarch seems to be going crazy, you have to be careful of him. Lailier has been controlled by him."

Nothing unexpected, Li Chen said again: "Can you tell me something that I can't guess?"

"Things that can't be guessed? Yes, it's..."

Saenz made a sudden attack!A wind magic burst out from his hand, and Li Chen was thrown down by the wind.Li Chen turned over and wanted to get up, but was pushed back by Saenz who moved faster, and his whole body was suppressed to the ground!

This man is always taller, faster, and stronger, and it is impossible for Li Chen to win him over in a mere close combat.

The short sword fell again.

"I heard that you couldn't guess how you felt when you drove those women away." Saenz stared at him, and Saenz could really stare at him accurately, "I heard that you and Lalier walked together You can't guess the mood when we are together; you can't guess my mood when my eagle is summoned by you and brings your news again."

"Lairier and I?!" Li Chen exclaimed in surprise, "You are crazy, what can I have with her?!"

"I know." Saenz said with a smile, "but I would think this way, is it strange? You and Lalier went to the street in a grand manner, and you were seen walking together..."

Li Chen knew something was wrong, or in other words, he felt as if he had made a wrong choice when he just rode on Saenz. Now, this feeling of making a mistake is more obvious.

He frowned and said, "Let go of me first."

"That's not acceptable." Saenz leaned down, "You and Lailier, obviously able to predict today's crowded situation, but still indulged, and only came to ask for help when you were surrounded by water. Lailier was hurt You should be punished, and you should be punished."
