Chapter 112 III. Returning to China
readx; Elda, who set foot on her homeland again, is thirty-six years old. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The tall, handsome Admiral of Palci is now in middle age. Elda was undoubtedly the freest of the entire Parci hierarchy, and at the same time the most experienced in life, because he had traveled all over the world, holding in his hands the wealth of the rich country and the huge fleet of the Li family, and he was the only one who had never formally pledged allegiance to Queen Alfrit. He is Li Tianhao's personal minister, and he doesn't pay attention to the position of Palch Admiralty at all, because strictly speaking, the family background of the Second and Third Fleets of Palchi is actually his Li family's fleet in terms of hardware and software, and even the First Fleet that has not yet been formed was formed by him. He would accept the position only because there was currently no suitable general for the position in Palci. This time, he set sail again to return to his homeland with the heavy responsibility of signing a treaty with the Paz Empire.
Due to the competition with Arubania for sea supremacy, Elda's trip did not set off with a large fleet as usual. However, as soon as he left the area where the two countries were at war, Elda, as the top executive of the Li family's merchant group, immediately had four armed merchant ships come to greet him and escort him to his destination. Along the way, he also dealt with a large number of affairs of the Li family's merchant group, and it can be said that there was no time to rest.
Seeing that Lijiacun was in front of him, Elda couldn't hide the excitement in his heartβhe kept drawing in his mind the face of his wife, who he had been thinking about day and night, looking forward to the scene when he would meet his wife again.
However, far from his expectations, today's Lijia Village is obviously very different from the past, and Elda sensed that the situation was not right, because there were many seabirds gathered on the rooftops, and it was obvious that there was no one in the village anymore.
Elda immediately pulled out the scimitar at her waist and fanned out towards the village with several of her men.
An arrow pierced the air and screamed towards Elda's group, who struck the arrow away and shouted in Pas, "Sims, it's me!" Elda! β
When the other party heard Elda's words, he immediately jumped out of his hiding place, and respectfully knelt on the ground and waited for Elda's arrival: "The villain is clumsy, and he didn't even recognize you." β
"Forget it," Elda's mind wasn't on at the moment: "What's going on?" What about the people in the village? β
Sims hurriedly replied, "This matter is a long story, and the villain will try to explain it briefly as much as possible." When Ponuncar conquered Songres, the army of Songgris discovered the existence of the village and forcibly expropriated money and grain, and Madame led us to defeat it, but then encountered Pononcer's army. Although Madame handled the crisis properly, Madame felt that it was always a hidden danger, so she moved the whole village to a summer resort on the edge of the White River. Since the ship has not been here these days, the lady left the villain and the other five people to take turns to stay here, just to report to you. β
Hearing this, Elda let go of a big stone in her heart, Baihe is a place fifty miles away from here, this used to be the summer vacation place of the Li family, although the scale is much smaller than the Li family's village, but it is no problem to live these people. It's far from the sea, it's more remote, and it's easier to hide, but it's more inconvenient to communicate. Since the whole village is fine, Elda is not in a hurry to rush there immediately, after all, it is already late, there is no need to walk there on the mountain road at night, and the right to stay in Lijia Village for one night.
Everything in the village was the same as it had been seen when I was a teenager, except that the food had been carried away. Sims and a few of his brothers took out the hidden rations and cooked them, and waited for Elda and her group to eat them, and Elda couldn't help but ask, "Is this village going to be abandoned?" β
Sims laughed a few times dryly, and said, "How can it be, this is Lijia Village, even if Madam intends to do this, the old lady can't get mixed up." Madame is just just in case, now that Penoncal has won, if the Paz army does not come to harass for another half a year, who wants to come here to harass with the small place of Lijia Village? It's about collecting taxes, and we're going to give them them. Madame said she was only doing it to guard against someone. β
"Alone? Who? β
"It is the captain of the horses of Paz, whose name is Dadaran. This guy is a Sindra man, and it's really evil that he can be the captain of Paz's Ten Thousand Horsemen. Madame said that she saw that Dadalan was by no means a good stubble, and if our Lijia Village remained in his heart, then he would definitely come again. Fortunately, the last time his wife gave him an idea, as a price for not entering Lijia Village, so he didn't know the exact location of the village, even if he came, he would die when he saw that the village had been abandoned. If you want him to be a captain of ten thousand horsemen, how can you have the time to study it deeply? But a year and a half has been left behind. β
Elda frowned and muttered for a long time, then asked Sims to explain the details of the matter in detail, and then lay down and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Elda and his party got up, said goodbye to Sims, and headed for the White River. It was already close to noon when she found the White River Summer Village, and Elda couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head: it seemed that she was really pampered during her time in Palchi, and she felt a little tired even after walking fifty miles. Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a murderous aura rushing towards him, Elda hurriedly flashed to the right, and a snowy scimitar slashed past the position where he had just stood!
Before Elda could adjust her body posture, the scimitar brush brush continued to slash at Elda, Elda dodged left and right, and didn't even have a chance to draw her knife to fight back, so she had to retreat all the way to dodge.
But at this time, Elda had already reacted, this move was really familiar to him, and suddenly Elda reached out and grabbed the wrist holding the scimitar, and said with a smile: "What is the reason for murdering her husband when you just met?" β
The "assassin" on the opposite side was Li Tianyu, and when she saw that she was caught by her husband, she snorted and said: "For a man who doesn't know how to come back as soon as he goes out, he should be slashed a few times!" I said, are you old, why did you react with so many tricks? β
Elda strained her wrist and snatched the scimitar with her other hand, feigning anger, "What words! Why don't you say that you're sneaking up on it? It's a shame that I reacted quickly, otherwise I would be a fool if you were hacked to death. β
"If such a few knives can kill you, I really don't have a husband like this." Li Tianyu said and threw herself into her husband's arms. (To be continued.) )
