Led by a 'kind-hearted' centaur girl.
The Duke destroyed the Assassin's Guild's stronghold in Central City in one fell swoop.
The branch president of the Assassin's Guild resisted to the death, and was finally beheaded by Duke Leng Jade himself.
Even though there were hundreds of bloody heads hanging in the central square, the Duke, who was in a thunderous rage, had no intention of stopping.
There was peace in Constantinople, but the castle was much more tightly guarded.
Li Aili sees the knights patrolling back and forth every day, and she has to say that she feels very safe.
Because the person behind the hired assassin has never been found, Li Aili cannot go to Central City for the time being.
Bajin Oxtail is very happy to come to Constantinople every day to report on his work.
Of course, the bubbles above his head told Li Aili that what he loved more was the craftsmanship of the cook here.
"Ah, speaking of which, when I came here today, I saw the Duke returning with a group of knights, dragging a half-dead man back."
Ba Jin showed off the tender beef tenderloin in his mouth while making a small report to Li Aili.
Li Aili didn't even know that Arthur Leng Feicui was back.
In the past few days, he has been leaving early and coming home late.
After finishing the meal, Ba Jin wiped his mouth and said, "Ahem, I also have a 'business plan' that I would like you to take a look at. Can we change places?"
After saying that, Ba Jin smiled naively at the few silver knights guarding Li Aili.
A yellow "bubble" appeared above his head:
【Eh! Alice, don't pinch me, now! Right now! 】
Bajin Niuhozi secretly winked at Li Aili.
Li Aili: "..."
"Ahem, um, let me talk to him alone."
A knight asked: "Madam, your highness means that we must protect your personal safety at all times."
Li Aili said: "You guys just stand outside the door. I will shout for help when I encounter danger."
Finally, the knights agreed.
Li Aili closed the study door.
I saw a familiar little guy emerging from the thick cow hair on the top of Ba Jin Niu Hoo's head.
"Ugh, Ba Jin, you should take a shower!" As soon as the flower fairy came out, she lay on the carpet and retched crazily...
Ba Jin scratched his head and said, "Hey, this is called manliness."
The flower fairy rolled her eyes, turned her head and flapped her transparent wings to fly towards Li Aili.
"Ah! Boss of the Alchemy House! I heard that Jasmine was detained at your place?"
Li Aili had a question mark on her face, "What kind of flower?"
The flower fairy flew around anxiously, "Jasmine! A centaur girl, her name is Jasmine!"
"Her brother is my ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend!"
Li Aili: "..." Girl, do you know that the range of your boyfriends is a bit wide.
"Is she here?! Oh my god! Don't tell me she's gone!" The flower fairy almost fainted from anxiety.
There is only one man in the castle.
Li Aili's mouth twitched slightly, "He's still alive, don't worry. But he's locked up in a secret cell under the castle."
The flower fairy flew into her arms, "Help me rescue Jasmine! I am your half-sister!"
Li Aili: "..." No need to.
"Her brain is somewhat abnormal, but the Duke is very angry this time. I can only help you intercede. Whether you can impress him or not depends on you."
Li Aili got up and walked out of the study with Ba Jin Niu Hoo.
"Where is the Duke?" she asked the knight guarding the door.
Several people looked at each other and said, "We are dealing with some things. If you have something urgent, we can help you tell it."
Li Aili understood.
I'm afraid he's still in a secret prison.
"I have something urgent. I'm very anxious. Please tell me. Thank you."
After saying that, she clasped her hands and asked the tall knights.
The knights all took a step back, sweating.
Not long ago, the scenes of several recruits becoming incontinent at the banquet were still before my eyes.
"No, no, no, this is our responsibility!" After saying that, several knights ran away.
Then they bumped into each other, and finally they punched and gestured twice, and the winner seemed to run away to send a message to Li Aili.
The remaining three came back dejectedly.
Li Aili: "..." Are you polite?
Dark prison.
Snapped.
Snap.
The crisp sound of the whip hitting the flesh kept coming.
The man's screams echoed throughout the dark cell.
The centaur Jasmine huddled in the corner, covering her pointed ears with both hands, shivering.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu, Brother, come and save me. I won't be an assassin anymore. Uuuuuu." Her nose drooped like noodles, and then it was sucked back.
A burst of hasty footsteps came from the failed stone staircase.
A knight hurried past the cage where Jasmine was imprisoned.
Jasmine wiped away her tears and opened her eyes, which were swollen to the size of walnuts, until a crack was revealed.
She saw two reflections on the wall in the firelight.
The standing man bowed down and whispered a few words to the sitting 'devil'.
The 'demon' man immediately stood up and strode out.
Scared, Jasmine plunged into the rotting haystack, leaving only the horse's butt outside.
The footsteps hurried away.
Only then did Jasmine tremble and pull out her head.
However, inside, the sound of the whip hitting the flesh never stopped.
…
"What do you want from me?" The Duke came to the study in the South District.
He directly ignored the tauren in the study who was smiling at him to please him, and asked Li Aili in a gentle tone.
Li Aili showed her hand hidden behind her back in embarrassment, "Actually, she is looking for you."
On her palm, a small flower fairy fluttered its wings and flew up, "Hey, brother-in-law~ I need to ask you for help."
The Duke's cold expression became warmer, his sword eyebrows slightly raised, "Brother-in-law?"
The flower fairy waved her little hand, "I hate it, this is my sister, you are not my brother-in-law~"
With that said, the flower fairy flew to Li Aili's cheek and rubbed it intimately.
Duke Leng Jade said calmly: "This is the first time I've heard that flower fairies and people can be sisters."
The flower fairy Alice said shyly: "Hey, brother-in-law, we are the kind of half-sisters~"
These calls of "brother-in-law" directly melted the 'ice slag' on the Duke's face.
The Duke walked to the sofa and sat down, tapping his fingers on the table, "I don't know, Madam's sister's name is..."
The flower fairy said very politely, "Brother-in-law, my name is Alice."
"It's like this. I have an ex-boyfriend..."
The Duke paused for a moment while tapping his hand on the table, and his expression changed slightly.
"He is the leader of the Centaur clan. Oh, brother-in-law, isn't it a coincidence? His sister, whose head was kicked by a donkey when she was little, happened to be a 'guest' in the castle. Hahaha~brother-in-law~ that..."
The Duke raised his eyelids and looked at her with blue eyes that made the flower fairy break into a cold sweat.
"You... your ex-boyfriend's sister, assassinated my wife, your sister."
"Now, tell me again what you are here for."
The flower fairy was so frightened that she got behind Li Aili.
Li Aili couldn't help but said, "Arthur, there might be something wrong with that child..."
The Duke did not look at her and said calmly, "My dear, let me talk to your 'sister' alone for a while."
Li Aili gave the flower fairy a look that said, "I'm asking for more blessings." She pulled the tauren out.
The two squatted outside the study.
Li Aili consoled him: "Duke, he won't be so cruel."
As soon as he finished speaking, Balk, whose dark mithril armor was full of the smell of blood, walked up.
"Madam, please tell the Duke that the guy below has been recruited. This is a confession."
The confession was covered in blood.
Li Aili: "..."
Balk wiped the blood from his hands and said, "Follow the Duke's instructions, just chop off that kid's head and hang him in the central square."
Li Aili: "..."
Ba Jin Niu Hoozi: "..."
When Balk left, Ba Jin's legs were trembling, "Boss, what did you say about the Duke...?"
Li Aili: "..."
Half an hour later, the flower fairy swayed out of the study with a blank look on his face.
She holds a piece of paper in her hand.
Li Aili asked in a worried voice: "Are you okay?"
The flower fairy slowly shook her head and nodded desperately.
Li Aili: "...Is there anything wrong with you?"
Flower Fairy vicissitudes of life said: "I'm fine, but my ex-boyfriend may have a serious problem."
She waved the paper on her hand and said, "Their entire family may have to 'sell' themselves to the bastards inside!"
Li Aili: "?"
The flower fairy cursed and said: "Kick this 'devil' quickly, I will introduce you to a bunch of things in minutes..."
Before he finished speaking, the Duke came out, staring at the weak, pitiful and helpless flower fairy with cold eyes, and his deep voice rose slightly, "Huh?"
The flower fairy trembled and carefully held Li Aili's hand, "Please be sure to lock up with your brother-in-law! You must have a happy marriage for a lifetime!!"
Li Aili: “…………”
The Duke whispered instructions to a knight, and the man immediately left with the flower fairy.
Li Aili speechlessly threw the bloody 'confession' to him, "You are really good at it."
The Duke lowered his eyes at the 'confession' and retorted: "Whether I can do it or not, you will understand it more deeply in the future."
Li Aili didn't react for a while.
With a "boom" sound, the confession was turned into powder by the gloomy-looking Duke.
Li Aili looked at the man's stormy attitude and guessed what the confession said.
The gloom in the Duke's brows receded, "In one year, I will give you a satisfactory answer to this matter."
The conversation ends here.
After returning to the room, Li Aili soaked in the bathtub and blew bubbles, going over the whole thing in her mind.
Guess what that confession might have been.
If the Duke were to say wait for another year... then the other party would be at least as powerful as Arthur Leng Jade.
In the Clark Kingdom, there are only those few forces.
First, the royal family.
Second, in the year 912 of the Cailong era, the "Three Kings Civil War" broke out in the kingdom, and the other two dukes participated in it.
"Wolf", the Demonic Wolf Duke of the Northern Snow Country.
and, "Brandon," the pomegranate duke of the south.
Both dukes are knights, with the same rank as Duke Leng Jade, and are both platinum knights.
Who is the one……
Li Aili walked out of the bathroom, threw herself on the bed, rolled up into a 'silkworm baby', and fell asleep deeply.
