If time went back a few days, Lina would also be wearing gorgeous aristocratic clothes, with a corset around her waist, and her hair tied up as high as she could, just like a true aristocrat, no less inferior to the woman in front of her.
But now she is just a woman carrying a basin of water and wearing a rough apron to take care of her disabled sisters.
"Miss, please come back. His Majesty the Demon Emperor will not receive any guests now."
Lian Guang judged based on her appearance that the status of the woman in front of her must be high, so she slowly saluted: "Hello, my name is Lian, I want to meet His Majesty the Demon Emperor..."
The grooms have already begun to carry the gifts on the carriage, most of which are daily necessities, but they also have the medicines they are most in need of, and the particularly important disinfectant alcohol.
The women who were milling around in the yard also stopped what they were doing and looked at the things that the grooms were carrying. These things were not valuable, but they were in short supply.
"Miss Lian, please come back." Lina was afraid of attracting wolves into the house at this juncture. In other words, she believed that these nobles would do anything to achieve their goals. She was afraid that they would take advantage of the situation when the Demon Emperor was away.
Maybe there was nothing of value or anyone in this yard, but she was just afraid.
Lian still did not give up. As an out-and-out businessman, she still politely said: "Please don't worry, I only brought this groom, no one else.
Can't you just think that I'm here to express my condolences to the victims of this fire? Wouldn't it be okay to let me in for a sip of water and then drive me away? "
After talking about this, Lina actually cared about the gifts they brought, and finally nodded and said: "Thank you Miss Lian, Miss Lian, please come in, but I am telling the truth, the Demon Emperor is not in the yard now. .”
Although Lian was disappointed in her heart, she remained calm and calm on the outside. She acted like a typical good Samaritan and began to hand over items to these poor women one by one.
To be honest, Yu Fukiyun had been here for a while and had watched a noble like Lian pretending to be here for a long time.
"Look, you clearly despise the other person in your heart, but you still have to pretend to be a kind person and care about everything. Isn't it disgusting?"
Maya excused the other party: "Master, what you said is true. At least they gave me real gifts."
"Yeah, if it's gold and silver, I can't just kick people out. This woman has put a lot of thought into it. It's rare among the demon clan."
You Chuiyun clapped his hands: "Welcome distinguished guests."
Lian turned around and saw a young man with a maid. This young man's eyes were like lightning, and he walked with a high head and a demeanor that he had never seen a few times in his life. He was indeed a big shot, and he guessed the identity of the other person. Lian bowed slightly: " I have met His Majesty the Demon Emperor."
"Well. You can go." Yu Chuiyun seemed indifferent and indifferent. Even Lina and Maya were a little surprised, but the Demon Emperor had his own opinions, so why interfere.
Lian Gang held back what he wanted to say. As expected, big shots were extremely unkind and difficult to deal with.
When You Chuiyun passed by her.
"I know who started this fire." Lian had no choice but to use her biggest bargaining chip.
As expected, You Chuiyun stopped, then sneered, and continued walking. Lian became anxious: "He's from the Shelby family!"
For the sake of the medicine, You Chuiyun turned around and said, "I know."
Lian stared at her beautiful eyes in disbelief, already a little lost her temper: "How did you know?"
"I saw the murderer. He looks about the same as Old Tom. They suffered losses in Novigrad. With your demon people's vengeful character, I think this must have been a good fire."
You Chuiyun had no expression on his face, turned around and walked away, murmuring to himself: "There are several grandsons of the Shelby family, isn't it too many?"
"I can help you!"
This time, regardless of his manners, Lian rushed forward and grabbed Yu Chuiyun's arm. Maya's expression changed and she blocked half of Lian's body: "Please respect yourself."
"I can help you kill Robin."
Lian's eyes were firm and she tried her best to lower her voice. She could only have three thoughts.
People can hear clearly.
You Chuiyun looked at this stubborn woman who was unwilling to give up, pursed his lips, and after a while, he said: "I'll give you half the time to burn the incense, Maya, and watch the tea."
The three of them came into the house. Maya closed the doors and windows and poured the hot tea she had prepared for them.
"Robin, he is the real murderer." Yubuki Yun put down the cup after taking a sip and said straight to the point: "Yeah, how do you know that?"
"Because... I am also a member of the Shelby family." As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, but Yu Chuiyun had no intention of taking action immediately. Instead, he squinted his eyes and looked at her like a wolf.
And Maya had already reached out and touched the knife on her waist.
"The family heir Robin and I are already incompatible. If given the chance, he will get rid of me. I am a collateral clan, but the old man said that the collateral clan may not be unable to be the head of the family, as long as the family can continue to prosper.
However, if the family is left to a simple-minded person like Robin, the family will eventually perish. If a family is extremely prosperous and does not make changes, it will perish. "
Lian is worthy of being an elite, not just a noble. She explained the whole matter clearly in just a few words.
"What direction do you want to take the Shelby family?"
Unexpectedly, You Chuiyun asked such a question.
"Doing business."
Lian said without thinking: "Power, the Shelby family has been on this evil path for too long, so we have too many enemies. Everyone is eagerly waiting for the day when our head of the family ages and dies..."
Speaking of this, Lian seemed to be praying in her heart: "If one day, the entire family will collapse... It will be as unstoppable as the collapse of a mountain.
However, if we can use our current power and connections to build a business empire and use our interests to kidnap our enemies, we can also tie up our family itself. If the day comes when the old family leader comes, I don’t think the Shelby family will either. collapse. "
You Chuiyun nodded. He saw the shadow of Chuqiu on Lian's body. They looked very similar and looked like strong women.
Robin is the direct boss of the family... He must be killed so that Lian can take over. The reason is simple and the motive is established.
But You Chuiyun doesn't rule out the possibility of them joining forces to do something of their own, so Li Gang needs to conduct a secret investigation.
Although the Daxia spy network has suffered a blow, there are still remnants operating in the Demon King's City.
The Shelby family is a big family that the Demon Clan devotes itself to presiding over the national war. Because of its special nature in the country, it can respond to a hundred calls in disguise, and can even unite to fight against the Demon King. It is indeed no less powerful than the Flying Dragon King Constantine. Tom.
An empire of power created by one hand.
You Chuiyun, the dragon crossing the river, finally realized clearly what kind of enemy he faced.
No.
You can't label Old Tom as your enemy out of wishful thinking. What Lian means is that Old Tom's attitude is ambiguous and his current enemy is Robin.
"Can I ask, does Robin hate me so much?"
"Of course, the last time our family head was humiliated in Novigrad, there was a big fuss. The matter spread back to Demon King City. The Shelby family was attacked by many unknown forces. There were rumors in the neighborhood that Old Tom of the Shelby family was old. The tiger has lost its teeth and is dying, just waiting to die.
It was also difficult to run our family's business, and our former suppliers and old customers began to make things difficult for us... It was at this moment that I suddenly became alert in advance and sensed the danger.
Sorry, I'm going off topic... Robin's thinking is still above that of old Shelby, who believes that family honor requires blood and sacrifice to maintain, and anyone who harms the family or is an enemy of the family belongs to him. Enemy, either you die or I live. "
When Lian said this, she seemed to become nervous. It seemed that she was not as calm as she appeared. Under the mask of a strong woman, she was just a twenty-year-old woman.
You Chuiyun shook his head and said, "This question is indeed too naive for me to ask."
Then he looked at Lian and said
Said: "What is your plan?"
At this time, Lian asked back: "Are you sure you believe me? Trust is not one-sided. Your Majesty the Demon Emperor, I came to you for cooperation, but I had no choice. The die-hards are too powerful. I must unite." All forces that can cooperate.”
Lian took a deep breath at the end and seemed to think of the women in front of the yard: "Maybe I can survive until now because Robin doesn't bother to attack me directly. But if he wants to attack me directly, I can't stop him. .”
"This is also the reason why you haven't made a move until now. You are very courageous and you are worthy of being a businessman. You want to strike with a thunderous blow without giving the other party any chance to react."
You Chuiyun now admires this woman.
Lian blinked and said nothing. She suddenly stood up, carrying her handbag that had never left her hand.
"Your Majesty the Demon King, I didn't plan to say too much. I don't know why, but I actually trust you more than I thought."
Lian suddenly thought of something: "You saw me in the yard, condolences to those people, you must think I am fake.
But actually when I learned that you were protecting these poor women, I thought you were acting. "
After saying that, she no longer hesitated and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, you have to at least tell me something else, such as your plan, when will it be implemented, and what do you need me to do?"
"No plan."
Lian suddenly turned around and gave You Chuiyun a confident smile: "I'm still waiting for an opportunity."
You Chuiyun was also dumbfounded.
Lian looked back at the door: "If you don't hear from me in the future, maybe I will die. Then you don't have to worry about cooperating with me."
You Chuiyun almost spit out a mouthful of tea. .
"Also, you are younger than I thought. I am greatly relieved. You are finally not as difficult to convince as those old stubborns."
"By the way, if you need help, you can come to me at the largest shop in Demon King City."
You Chuiyun pointed to the half-open door: "This is a chatterbox."
