Chapter 176: The Deflected Search Team
Southern border, Longjiao Province.
A team of search officers, more than a hundred people, walked through the mountain road. They were wearing black cloaks and armor, long swords around their waists, and carried crossbows and arrows. They were extremely elite.
In this team, the lowest-strength members also have Sequence 2, while there are about 60 people above Sequence 3, more than 20 elites in Sequence 4, and the leader is a Sequence 6 major search officer.
He is about 30 years old, with a solemn face, and a tall bamboo-shaped hat on his head, which is quite majestic.
"Is Viscount Winlani's collar in front?" The black war horse raised its front legs, stepped in the air, and then stood there. This was a mixed-blood horse-type monster. Although it only has Sequence 2, its endurance and speed are far superior to ordinary horses.
"Yes, sir. Now the person in charge of Viscount Winlani is the daughter of the former Viscount, Gerveer..."
"A girl who is not married yet?" The search officer frowned when he heard this.
"Yes."
"There must be a demon. How can she, a girl who doesn't know the world, manage a good territory? I'm afraid she is a puppet from a dark force, hum."
"Let's go and have a look." After saying that, the commander waved his whip again and led his people forward.
The horse's hooves splashed with dust, and a group of black-clothed cavalry gradually headed towards Shanying City.
In the lord's mansion in the city, Lu Bin was busy and orderly commanding everyone.
"Have the fields outside the city been arranged?"
"After the arrangement, I have been trampling on the cow several times. It looks very messy and no longer as neat as before."
"The street has also given special instructions. It has not been cleaned for a week and has thrown a lot of garbage into it, which makes it look dirty."
"Let a few flexible old fried dough sticks be prepared and they will cause trouble and protest at that time, which will make our governance worse."
"The soldiers who are usually trained are disbanded and returned home to farm, and temporarily recruited a group of people to be soldiers, which seems a little more 'normal'."
"Several other towns around have made similar arrangements and have sent people to take action."
"Don't worry, boss, what the other party can't see is all true performances, haha." Several dark old farmers said with a smile to Lu Bin.
"Of course I feel relieved to you, but who knows what extraordinary actions those people will do then." Lubin shook his head and then breathed a sigh of relief.
"Then let it be. Everyone goes home first, just as we agreed."
"No problem!" After saying that, everyone dispersed.
"Miss Jialan, look?" After Lu Bin finished explaining, he was still a little worried and asked Luo Lan Hill beside him to see if there were any missing places.
"No, you've done a good job." Lorran Hill raised one hand, spread the hair on her shoulder, then walked to the middle of the courtyard, closed her eyes and prayed.
Then a gust of wind gradually blew up, slowly rolling across the entire city, covering up some imperfect details to make it more natural.
In the afternoon, a rapid sound of horse hooves stepped into the city, and these elite cavalrymen stopped in the square in the city and looked around.
"Hello, sir, who are you?" A soldier nodded and asked.
"Where is your lord? I am ordered to patrol the counties in the province." The search officer held the reins in one hand, glanced across the square and asked about the local situation. The streets here are similar to other places, and they are still a little messy, and it is indeed a small city.
"The Lord's Mansion is on the other side of the street, where Miss Gerveer currently lives." The soldier pointed to a wide street.
"Very good, let's go." After saying that, the group continued to move forward until they arrived at the lord's mansion and did not turn over and dismount.
Seeing these people coming in full force, the guards at the gate hurried in to report, and soon a young housekeeper brought people out to greet them.
"Hello, sir, is there anything wrong with the sudden visit? Miss Gerveer asked me to entertain you."
"It's something." He said as he walked, and kept looking at the situation in the lord's mansion. Seeing that the beautiful environment here is completely different from the streets outside, he knew it in his heart.
It turns out that he is a noble lady. She doesn't care about the situation outside, but only cares about the environment she lives in.
Up the steps of the mansion and before entering the hall, the search officer asked his subordinates to wait outside, and he brought only 10 people into it.
"Welcome to you, I am Gwiel, and the owner of the territory today." A girl in a crow-green dress saluted and then asked the maids to come and serve tea.
"Hello Miss Gervere." Although he didn't care about this weak noble girl, the surface etiquette still had to be maintained. After a few simple greetings, the search officer asked about the recent situation.
"I heard that there was a fierce rebellion in the territory at the end of last year, so that the previous viscount passed away. I wonder how you survived such a crisis in the future?"
"This has to start with a hero passing by the territory."
Gerveer began to tell how the nameless knight saved the city on that night of flames and how he surrendered the evil rebels.
Her words were filled with praise and praise for the knight, like a girl who was addicted to love, although she did have a good impression of this hero.
Looking at Gwiel's appearance, the search officer judged him as a stupor girl who lacked the knowledge of the outside world in the boudoir. It was probably because he had read too many novels of the Knight Princess and was addicted to such similar characters.
Such noble girls are not uncommon. He can meet several of them every year, so he has long been used to it.
"Ahem." Gervere's expectations and praise for the knight for the time being, and the search officer asked about her whereabouts of the knight.
"Lord Wuming left Longjiao Province some time ago and went to other places."
"Other place? Does he have any description?" The man frowned slightly. Such a powerful person was an unstable person wherever he went.
"I don't know, but before he left, he said that he would go and defeat some evil organization in the dark."
"Is there still such an existence? Why haven't I heard of it?" In fact, as a search officer, he has heard of many similar things, but most of them are not true. Either he can exaggerate the enemy for his own sake, or because of the one-sided observation, the inferred things are full of errors.
"It should be because my father may have died because of them." Gerveer sobbed slightly, telling how the evil housekeeper confused his father, corroded the power in the territory step by step, and finally led to civil unrest.
"Oh, is there any other drug? Is there any sample left? I want to see it."
"I don't know this, I usually ask my servants to deal with it." Gerveer said according to his previous explanation.
"Where is that housekeeper, where is the others?"
"It's in the dungeon, if you want to see him, I can have someone lead you." Gerveer said he didn't care.
"Hmph, go and meet me, maybe you can find some clues about your father's death."
Shortly after saying that, several guards, led by Lu Bin, took the men in black to a low cell.
"The former butler is detained here, Bows." Lubin stopped at the intersection and asked the search officer to take the three of them to face the arrested butler alone.
The butler locked in the cell yelled in surprise when he saw someone coming.
"I was wronged, I was wronged. It was all those people who were blamed for the missed lady and arrested me. I was the one who was loyal to the Winlani family."
"Shut up!" A black-clad sergeant whipped the railing with a whip, which scared the butler, and his voice suddenly disappeared.
"I ask, you answer." The search officer stood in front of the iron railing wearing a heavy and black cloak, staring at the butler with a cold look. Behind him were a group of soldiers in black, with an extremely solemn aura.
"Yes, yes, you ask." The butler's voice softened and became weaker.
"Did you confuse the former viscount with the potion?"
"No, I didn't, that's a false accusation, a false accusation!"
"Shut up!" A sergeant shouted again, interrupting his quibbling.
The gloomy magic overflowed from the bodies of these search officers and slowly invaded the cell, causing the butler to feel cold all over his body, as if a sharp knife was scraped across his body.
The short few seconds were like ten years, and it was particularly long, and finally he couldn't help it.
"I said, I said, I did buy some special spices, uh, perfume, right." His voice trembled.
"But those are just to please Lord Viscount, and you should also understand that servants like me can only survive if they please the master."
"I did not do anything to murder my master, I was loyal."
"You are lying." The cold eyes were staring at the butler, and the search officer clearly noticed that the other party was not telling the truth.
As a professional search officer, he has a lot of lie detection skills and abilities. Such poor deceptions cannot be hidden from his eyes and ears.
"I'll give you another minute. If you still care about your side, don't think about going out alive." The voice was slow and cold, making the butler's voice stiffen like a stuck and his body was still motionless.
Seeing that he didn't reply, a sergeant began to count it slowly.
“48,47,4621,20,19”
As the deadline approached the time, the housekeeper's forehead began to sweat and his hands were trembling. He began to suspect that these people really dared to kill him, regardless of the face of the lord Miss Gevier.
"No, no, no, I said, I said, I said," he raised his hand in pain, and then began to explain some things from the past.
For example, how to get on that line, how to buy special potions, how to get the Viscount trusted, and start hoarding money, etc.
After everything was explained, it was several hours later.
These people walked out of the cell with the records they had made, and then they asked someone to say hello to the lord's mansion and then turned over.
"Don't the adults stay for a day, it's almost dark today." Seeing these people leaving, the butler played by Lu Bin came out to try to keep them.
"No, next time." The search officer made a simple gesture, then waved the whip, and took the group of people away from the city again, and embarked on another road in smoke and dust.
The rumors before Viscount Winlani were just boasting and exaggeration among the nobles. However, everything the former housekeeper told was very interesting. If he could capture the secret organization, it would be a great achievement. And the nobles made small moves in private and saved money and were greedy for money, that would be a trivial matter.
"Go forward, accelerate, and arrive at the next city before dark!" The leading search officer shouted immediately, and then the black-clad cavalry came with a continuous response.
"Yes, sir. For the Empire!"
Under the dusk sky, the purple sunset was spread across the horizon. Lolan Hill sat on the city wall, her legs and skirt swaying in the air. She looked at the team that was leaving, and her heart felt light.
It was considered that these people were successfully sent away, which saved a lot of trouble.
If they really found that the territory is now organized and managed by the rebels, I'm afraid they would have to take action at that time.
Although they won't kill them all, returning home is a big trouble. Lolan Hill cutely stuck out his tongue, indicating that it was too difficult to kill. Then he jumped down the high city tower, like a light kite falling down.
Take advantage of the present, step up construction and "farming", and you have to quickly explode the troops.
