Chapter 17 Doubts

During the days of recuperation, Chu Tian was in pain and happiness.

After being carried home, His Royal Highness, who had just learned the news, came to visit Chu Tian in person. Her affectionate eyes, gentle and considerate language, and Serena's meticulous care completely trapped Chu Tian in the grave of love. Xiaobai surprisingly did not cause trouble for the princess, but ran around and followed Serena to bring water and deliver medicine.

Ludi III even canceled the court convention the next morning, personally visited Chu Tian with a large number of gifts, and said in front of the accompanying minister: Marquis Vladino is a pillar of the empire, and must be treated well, and strive to recover health as soon as possible and continue to contribute to the empire!

The chief court sacrificial ceremony, the assassination of Marquis Vladino, and the ministers and nobles of the empire also learned the news at the first time. Originally, these bureaucrats just sent servants to send some nutritional supplements, but after Ludi III expressed his importance to Chu Tian, ​​no guests were left in Chu Tian's Marquis' mansion. Seeing the great people in the imperial capital asking about their well-being and the thick gift list in their hands, Chu Tian's recovery schedule was immediately extended several times.

Chu Tian’s old friends were even more concerned about Chu Tian: Canas searched the murderer day and night in the imperial capital, and was very busy. Damar ran to Chu Tian’s home and said that he would protect Chu Tian himself. By the way, he also let Marquis Fradino teach him a little more of his way of becoming an official. Dior stopped teaching at the academy and served the teacher in disguise, acting like a filial son!

The only thing that surprised Chu Tian was that Reggie, the best friend, never appeared. Speaking of which, he was assassinated because of the playboy's dinner.

Now Chu Tian is lying on the hospital bed, covered with bandages. While teasing Xiaobai, he is receiving the right prime minister Andorra who is coming to visit.

"Haha, Mr. Marquis is very lucky this time, and he is safe and sound in such a dangerous situation. It's so gratifying!" Andorra, who was smiling, was still the same, with a gentle look on his face.

"Praise the goddess of life, maybe the goddess thinks there are still many important things that I need to do, so she saved me at a critical moment." Chu Tian recalled Dirk who suddenly appeared that night. The time when Dirk appeared was so coincidental, and the alley where he had an accident was far away from the residence of the Right Prime Minister, and he had no reason to appear there late at night.

Although my heart was full of doubts, Chu Tian still looked grateful to Andorra: "I was so sorry for the right prime minister who was so tired of visiting this little thing."

"What's the matter? Now you are a pillar of the empire. Even Your Majesty has a lot of things to rely on you. It's up to me to visit you." Andorra leaned forward, as if he wanted to observe Chu Tian's wound. But he only found bandages and pungent medicine. He sighed: "The injury is really bad!"

Chu Tian laughed in his heart, I'm fine for a long time! However, for the generous gift, the injury has to wait two days before he can heal!

Andorra looked at Chu Tian's blood-seeking bandages again, and asked casually: "The imperial guards in the imperial capital are so incompetent that they can't even catch an assassin! By the way, Vladino, do you have any clues?"

"I was drunk at that time, and there were no clues. I couldn't even see what the assassin looked like!" After saying that, Chu Tian lowered his head and patted Xiaobai, but his eyes were staring at Andorra in secret.

However, Andorra's expression did not change anyway, and he said with a smile: "This is really cheap that assassin. Then I won't disturb you. You can cultivate with peace of mind. Your Majesty is still waiting for you to serve!"

After saying that, Andao got up and said goodbye, leaving the ward.

Watching Andorra walk out of the room, Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, but he was thinking in his heart. Does it have nothing to do with him?

Since being injured, Chu Tian has been making money in the name of recuperating his injuries, while also planning the recent events: he has only been in the imperial capital for three months and has not formed enemies, so he has no reason to be assassinated! If he has to find some reasons, he can only offend many young nobles when he pursues Princess Serena, and some of them are Anderson.

However, the most suspicious Andorra did not need to get rid of himself for the sake of his son's feelings. If it weren't for him, then Dirk's appearance at the right time would be unexplainable.

Thinking of this, Chu Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and found that he had missed a big problem. He shouted: "Page, come in!"

After Chu Tian's accident, Ludi III cursed the generals of the Imperial Capital Guard Corps. The dignified imperial officer was assassinated under the emperor's nose. This was really a shame for Caesar's Iron Cavalry. Therefore, the combat minister in charge of the national army proposed to strengthen the protection of Chu Tian, ​​and sent thousands of guards to follow Chu Tian based on Chu Tian's title. This was already Makoli's limit. You must know that even a marquis with territory could only recruit 3,000 private armed forces.

After Chu Tian learned the news, he remembered Paige, the commander who left a deep impression on him, and called him to serve as the captain of the guard.

Hearing Chu Tian’s call, Page immediately pushed the door and came in, “Sir, what are your instructions?”

The captain of the guard Paige is still very dedicated. Since he was sent to Chu Tian, ​​he has been inseparable from Chu Tian and even sleeping outside Chu Tian's door. This makes Chu Tian sigh: I have picked up a good labor force.

Chu Tian signaled Peppa to sit down, and then asked, "Haha, nothing big, I just want to ask, are you familiar with Dirk, the butler of the Right Prime Minister? It is the old man who appeared the night I was stabbed."

"Reporting to the master, I can't say I'm familiar with it, but I know it a little. Dirk often follows the right prime minister to inspect the military camp, so most of the officers of the guard regiment know him,"

Chu Tian nodded, satisfied with Page's answer, and then asked, "How is his strength? What level of profession is it?"

"His strength?" Page was stunned for a moment and replied: "Dike is just an ordinary old man."

"Ordinary man? Then is it possible for him to hide his strength?" Chu Tian still refused to give up.

"It should be impossible. There are many masters in the guard regiment. They didn't feel that Dirk possessed magic or fighting spirit!" Although they didn't understand why the Marquis asked such a strange question, Page still answered Chu Tian conscientiously.

"Oh, that's fine, you go back first!"

After Page left the ward, Chu Tian was even more confused: Page could not lie, then Dirk could not be the murderer, if this is the case, Andorra's suspicion was much smaller, so who was going to get rid of himself?!

Can't think of it! Chu Tian shook his head.

"Woooo~" Chu Tian, ​​who was still thinking, was pulled back to reality by Xiaobai's cry. He looked down and found that Xiaobai was holding a small medicine jar in his mouth, swaying on the soft mattress to his ear, blinking his big eyes and reminding himself: It's time to take medicine!

After taking the medicine can and throwing it into the trash can, Chu Tian rubbed Xiaobai's head, "My injury has been cured long ago, so there is no need to take medicine!" After saying that, seeing that Xiaobai was still relentless, Chu Tian curled his lips again, and said proudly: "Don't forget, I am the 8th-level priest tutor!"

"Woo!" Xiaobai rolled his eyes and looked at Chu Tian angrily, with an angry look as if he said again: Don't think I don't know the origin of your title!
