The name Valletta is also a name that Duan Qing has not heard for a long time. Even this guy who has been away from the principality for a long time did not remember the meaning of this name for a long time. He found it: "Valletta... remember this is where Anweina works, right?"
"You actually know this name?" He looked at the other party with a surprised look, and then the old iron camel's voice returned to its previous coldness: "Oh, by the way, you are the representatives of the empire. It is still possible to find out some information. possible."
"No, no, no, the empire will not pry out the information to such an extent." Duan Qing waved his hand with a wry smile: "I just know these situations better myself, and it has nothing to do with the empire... She Are you okay now?"
"It's very bad, very bad." The old iron camel's eyes were full of hatred: "Thanks to that prince of your family, she is still lying on the bed unconscious."
"...Why, that prince is still beating someone in the hospital?"
Finally realizing the central part of this story, Duan Qing frowned deeply: "Why?"
"Why? I also want to know why!" The voice suddenly amplified to the point of madness, and the old iron camel said excitedly: "Why can the lion emperor of the empire raise such a waste! Why should we treat such a waste with courtesy? To this extent? Why has this waste been able to dominate the principality for so long without anyone resisting? We must wait until——"
"Do you have to wait until a tragedy occurs before you wake up?"
His voice became louder and louder, and finally it seemed as if he wanted to lift the entire ceiling of this small shop. Duan Qing, who endured the screams, then released his hands that blocked the ears of Enyu Ninglan, The frown never relaxed: "Calm down and tell me what he did."
"He tried to rape #anweina."
The air froze for a moment with the old man's silence, and then fell into deeper silence with the old man's next words: "Anweina resisted desperately, and in the end... she was seriously injured, and she has not woken up until now."
"..."
Scenes of the relationship between Silanke's widow and him suddenly flashed through his mind. Duan Qing didn't say a word for a long time, until the wind blowing the wheat waves beside him seemed a little overwhelmed, he Then he made his own suppressed voice again: "Then, the prince was arrested by you?"
"To be precise, he was beaten violently and then arrested." Lao Tietuo sneered: "Don't ask me who beat me. We couldn't tell who did it at the scene. The situation at that time was very chaotic. , the crowd was so excited that even Pamir could not calm down later.”
"Where is Pamir himself? What is his attitude?"
"It seems that you know the relationship between our Principal Parliament Speaker and Anweina." Looking sideways at Duan Qing's face, the old iron hunchback's tone became a little calmer: "Don't worry, our Speaker. So far, he has not shown any anger, and he is the only one in the principality’s parliament who is trying his best to restrain his emotions and handle the conflicts between the principality and the empire in the proper way, but——”
"Don't worry, no one will forgive your empire this time." He looked at Duan Qing's silent expression with contempt: "There is an old saying: You can't bully others too much. Your so-called prince has been In our opinion, the practice is worse than a pig or a dog."
"If all this is true, I admit that it is a bit too much." Trying to separate from the same emotion, Duan Qing replied in a calm voice: "No wonder everyone in your principality is unwilling to talk about this matter. , if it were me, I wouldn’t want to say another word.”
"It seems that you are a reasonable person." Lao Tietuo's gaze lingered on Duan Qing for a while: "The envoy from the Frei Empire who stayed here pretended to be arrogant for the prince. He argued and was beaten into a sandbag by the angry people on the spot, and as the exposure of the prince's actions increased, more and more people from the principality joined the wave of resistance."
"We no longer want to discuss the authenticity of this story. I hope you and the rest of your empire can understand." The old man gestured towards Duan Qing: "Otherwise, there is almost no need to talk about this upcoming negotiation."
"How do you know - okay." Duan Qing blinked his eyes: "I understand, I will convey your suggestion to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"I'll give these things to you too." Pushing the things Duan Qing returned before him again, the old iron camel sighed and shook his head: "I really don't want the things that have been used by you. , and compared with the money you earned me, these things are worthless at all."
"I hope the losses you have suffered can be compensated in this way." Duan Qing replied in a low voice: "But I still have a question."
"What do these things have to do with the Fool's Adventure Group?" His voice paused for a moment, as if he was organizing the question he wanted to ask next: "Why did they become wanted criminals?"
"When that Chris was roaming freely in the principality, he hired several adventure groups." Changing the topic to a certain point in time before, the old iron camel replied expressionlessly: "What he asked for at that time was the principality. The best adventure group, so the Fool Adventure Group is naturally on the list."
"For some reason, that bastard prince kept bringing the Fool Adventure Group with him." His voice gradually became deeper, as if he was recalling the darkest story: "It is said that when Chris was in Valletta Hospital... , that Fool Adventure Group is at the scene."
"...They didn't do anything?"
"have no idea."
Faced with Duan Qing's questions, Lao Tietou replied in a low voice: "During the subsequent investigation and trial, the members of the Fool's Adventure Group refused to answer any questions. They even tried to resist the pursuit of the principality and wanted to Get out of Tania’s reach.”
"Where are they being held now?"
"have no idea."
Waving his hand, the old iron camel moved his deep gaze away from his face: "You just need to know that they didn't escape successfully and were captured in the end... By the way, you Imperial people Why are you so concerned about this traitorous adventure group? Do you have any intentions? I warn you—"
"Please, I'm probably the only one here who is from the Empire." Pointing to his nose, Duan Qing blocked the other party's loud warning with a helpless expression: "And if we really have anything to do with them , we won’t be asking for news about them here."
"You'd better not have anything to do with them." Giving Duan Qing a hard look, the old iron camel then turned around and moved his eyes to the back of the counter: "Otherwise, your hatred in the hearts of the principality will not only be It’s so easy now.”
"Thank you for your reminder, we will pay attention to it." Duan Qing shrugged his shoulders slightly, then turned and walked towards the door of the black shop: "To express our gratitude, I will give you a piece of information in return. alright."
"Be careful of Wiesel." His steps stopped in front of the door, and his movements holding Enyu Ninglan became much heavier: "He may not be him anymore."
"No need to say such nonsense, Old Tietou, I know the situation in the underground world much better than you, a layman among laymen."
Letting out a disdainful sneer, the old iron hunchback waved his hand behind him without looking back: "Hank has no time to care about him, and those people finally set their target on me. I won't let it happen." They succeed in vain, even if they really want to die, I will let them peel off their skin."
"Get out of this place now, Imperial."
*******************************
"Then let's say goodbye."
Some time later, at the exit of the underground world, the shadows belonging to Duan Qing and the wind-blown wheat waves were intertwined: "I thought it was just a simple journey, but I didn't expect so many things to happen in the end."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. After all, I am a guy who aspires to be a businessman." Grabbing the back of his head, Feng Chui Mai Lang smiled nonchalantly: "The toll, the hard work fee, plus the equipment usage fee just now...remember to pay the Just pay off all these expenses.”
"...I want to give you a sign that says professional businessman on it." So Duan Qing pulled the veins on his face and showed a smile: "If you don't have money now, can you settle the accounts later?"
"Of course, because favors are the most valuable thing." Feng Chui Mai Lang laughed and replied: "Do you want me to find another way to solve your beloved maid's physical problem? I don't mind charging more favors -"
"No need, you can't cure it anyway."
Raising his hand to interrupt the other party's words, Duan Qing took the lead in stepping out of the underground entrance and exit, and then while checking the surrounding situation, he slowly placed the body of Enyu Ninglan next to the corner: "She just consumed too much. It’s just a short break, it’s no big deal.”
"Really? Then why not just log off and take a rest?"
"Probably out of some selfish motives."
Carefully wiping the cheek of the maid player in front of him, Duan Qing asked the question hastily: "It's you - why do you want to help us to this point?"
"Didn't I say it? Of course it's for money -"
"I don't believe any player can remain indifferent after hearing the news just now."
The long-lost rain curtain returned to Duan Qing and others as the light of the reconstructed sky returned. Along with it was the slow murmur of the magic barrier surrounding Tania to block the rain curtain. The gray-robed magician in the corner suddenly turned his head at this time, and faced the businessman who was following with a big package with a serious look on his face: "And what are you doing when facing Wessel?" The calmness he showed...you don't think he is someone who has nothing to do with this incident, right?"
"What are you talking about? You don't even know who we are." Feng Chui Mai Lang gave his thumbs up with a stinking look on his face: "We are the Four Losers of Fars! We are a combination that wants to get involved in everything! Let alone such a trivial matter, even if the two countries really fight, it is impossible for us to lose our share!"
"..."
"Well, actually there is only one reason."
Looking at the other party's serious expression still looking at him, Feng Chui Lang gradually put away the exaggerated smile on his face: "You have been looking for the fool, right?"
"yes."
"I have some friendship with the people in that adventure group."
Seemingly getting the answer he wanted from the other person's face, the businessman player carrying a large package smiled again: "Since you are looking for them so wholeheartedly, you can be considered my friends."
"Don't you believe in their betrayal either?"
"There is nothing to believe or not." He shook his head slightly, and the wind blew the wheat waves and patted Duan Qing on the shoulder: "If they didn't do it, I would help them get out of this predicament. If they did, I would Then help them escape from here."
"If you think about it from your own perspective, isn't it that simple?"
Different from the exaggerated smile before, the smile that appeared on the face of the businessman and player now had a more brilliant feeling, and this also made Duan Qing, who had been looking at him, gradually retract his gaze and turn around. And he buried his head in the direction of Ciyu Ninglan again: "Finally, I didn't misjudge the person."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
Raising his voice slightly, Duan Qing replied without looking back: "Since we are on the same front, can we be a little more accommodating with the previous accounts?"
"How is that possible? There is an old saying: Brothers must settle accounts openly." Waving his hand, the wind blew the wheat waves and turned around and walked slowly towards the other side of the street: "What's more -"
"We are not brothers yet."
The originally deserted streets and alleys regained their tranquility with the departure of the businessman and player. At the same time, Duan Qing's back was revealed a little more clearly, until the raindrops hit the magic barrier. When the rustling sound completely occupied his surroundings, the man in the gray magic robe lifted his scarred body up little by little again. It seemed that he had only relaxed his guard until now. With a tired face, he then struggled to pick up the maid player's body. The next moment he wanted to leave this place, he suddenly stopped at the exit of this street. Accompanied by this was his sharp eyes as he looked into the darkness.
"It's you?"
