Hearing Li Yi's words, Margaret couldn't help but smile. () staring at Li Yi funny, Margaret said jokingly: "Hehe, General Li is really a person who likes to be lazy." You didn't know what was going on, and you wanted to push these captives on me, but you had a good plan. ”

Although Margaret said so, Li Yi did not have the slightest idea of changing his mind. Pretending to be helpless, Li Yi opened his mouth and said: "Hehe, there's no way, I'm new here, I don't understand any rules, so Mrs. Lohr will be tired." ”

Seeing Li Yi's scoundrel appearance, Margaret could only shake her head helplessly. After that, he didn't make any excuses, and ordered these prisoners of war to walk at the front of the team in a proper manner, and then Margaret took Li Yi and a few people to march in the direction of Wu'an City.

When Li Yi and his party arrived at Wu'an City, the sun had already set for a long time. Originally, in Li Yi's plan, they originally planned to settle in another city, but it was only because they met Margaret on the way, so the group traveled a distance further by touching the night road, and finally arrived at Margaret's base camp - Wu'an City later.

Entering the city, because it was already night, Wu'an City was not particularly lively at this time. After all, the scale of Wu'an City has not yet reached the level of a city. And in this chaotic realm, it is difficult for the people's lives to be guaranteed, let alone come out at night.

Walking quietly in Wu'an City with people, Li Yi looked around at the slightly deserted streets, and said to Margaret lightly: "Mrs. Lohr, it seems that Wu'an City is not very rich." "After all, the place where Li Yi lived before was a bustling city like Lily of the Valley City. Even later, when he was on the side of the Atlantan Empire, the prosperity of that Noye City was far beyond the reach of this Wu'an City.

Hearing Li Yi's emotion, Margaret did not show any embarrassed look. After all, Margaret couldn't be clearer about the situation in Wu'an City. Glancing helplessly at the deserted street, Margaret said calmly: "Hehe, this is also a matter of no way. In this Jingchuan Province, it is not easy to find such a well-defended city to place the people of our Wu'an Kingdom. And in fact, don't look at the situation in our Wu'an City, which is not very optimistic, in fact, in Jingchuan Province, the situation in other cities is not much better than here. After all, it is a troubled time now, and it can no longer be compared to the Shengyuan Continent ten years ago. ”

Listening carefully to Margaret's slightly helpless narration, Li Yi also nodded in understanding, and then said slowly: "But I think less, I think about it, it is not easy for you to create such a foundation in this Jingchuan Province." ”

"It's not easy to say that it's not easy, since it has fallen to the point where it is today, our people of Wu'an have nothing to complain about. This world is the law of the jungle, and the only way to blame is that those big empires are too strong. However, it is consoling that no matter how big an empire is, sooner or later it will perish. Compared with the fragmentation of the Sayy Empire, where is the current situation of our Wu'an Kingdom worth mentioning. Regarding the current situation, Margaret is very optimistic.

In this regard, Li Yi just nodded with a smile, but did not say anything after that.

The group chatted about innocuous topics, and slowly walked to the City Lord's Mansion. Margaret first dismissed the guards who had survived the robbery with her, and then turned back to Li Yi and said, "Li Yi, tonight I can only arrange for your people to live in the barn for the time being, and after dawn tomorrow, I will arrange a place for them to change to a more comfortable environment." ”

Li Yi didn't have any opinion on Margaret's arrangement, and when his subordinates were in the Yanlong Legion, they also lived in the barracks every day, so Li Yi didn't show any dissatisfaction with Margaret's apology.

After letting his subordinates go to rest with Margaret's guards, Li Yi said to Margaret with a smile: "Then Li Yi will also leave first, Mrs. Lore has a good rest, after today's changes, Mrs. must be very tired." ”

Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be about to leave, Margaret suddenly said, "General Li, don't be in a hurry to leave, I haven't thanked you for saving your life." Although it was already late to write, it was not late at night. You might as well come into the house with your friends, and I think our monarch should also be interested in getting to know you. ”

Hearing Margaret's invitation, Li Yi hesitated for a moment, turned around and asked Yadi for advice, and after seeing that they were all indifferent, Li Yi said with a smile: "Okay, since Madame has warmly invited, we can't save your face like this." ”

"Hehe, that's right, man, if it's too bad for a mother-in-law. In fact, even if you don't talk about anything else, with the combat effectiveness of your few people, you should also get the attention of our Wu'an Legion. Also, before you made a move today, didn't I promise to pay you, and after you entered the mansion for a while, I would talk about these things carefully. With that, Margaret smiled at Li Yi, and then took a step forward to lead the way for Li Yi and the others.

When he walked into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, a scholar dressed as a middle-aged man walked up to Margaret and said respectfully: "Madam, you have finally come back, but you have encountered trouble on the way, why did you come back so late than planned." ”

Smiling politely at the visitor, Margaret said lightly: "Hehe, thank you Lord Rig for your concern, I encountered an ambush from the Rhône Legion on the way, so I was delayed for a long time." Fortunately, my Margaret survived and escaped with one life. "Margaret's previous situation can be described as sinister, but at this time, Margaret said it lightly, which shows that this woman's city is indeed no less than that of some men.

Although Margaret was lukewarm, the middle-aged man seemed to be used to it. After listening to Margaret's story, Rig still smiled and said, "Oh, Madame Lore was ambushed by the Rhône Legion, which is not a trivial matter. Madame should have only brought 500 guards with her when she went out this time, and the other party should have dispatched a large number of troops to ambush you. Madame is really a heroine, and she can still return safely after being ambushed. ”

For the other party's sycophancy, Margaret's face showed impatience. smiled perfunctorily at the other party, and then said: "Hehe, thank you Lord Rig for complimenting, Margaret is just a woman, and it was completely luck that I was able to escape this time, so I met my old friend." Now that I've gotten out of trouble, I don't want to talk about it anymore. It's just that the fact that I went out on a mission this time was very secretive, and I was even able to be found out by the Rhône Army, and I sent troops to intercept it halfway. I'll be ready to check it out tomorrow. ”

Looking at Margaret's performance at this time, Li Yi watched it clearly from the sidelines. If you want to talk about Margaret, a woman, it can definitely be said that she is a master of communication from all sides, but now when facing this guy called Rig, Margaret's performance is diametrically opposed to the past. Calmly watching Margaret and Rig's respective conversations, Li Yi seemed to see some clues from them.

Although Margaret has always behaved lukewarmly since Rig appeared. But this Rig always looked unconcerned, although Margaret said in a loud voice that she would investigate it well, the expression on Rig's face did not change at all.

With a harmless smile on his face, Rig bowed his hand to Margaret, and then said softly: "Hehe, Mrs. Lohr is right, this matter must be investigated and dealt with, and you can't suffer this secret loss inexplicably." ”

"There's no need for Lord Rig to bother, I'll be able to figure out my own business." Looking at Rig coldly, Margaret still said lukewarmly. After finishing speaking, Margaret glanced at the empty main hall, and Margaret said with a little question, "Has Lord Lore already slept?" ”

Hearing Margaret's question, Rig's face also showed a slight expression of schadenfreude. Laughing lightly without a trace, Rig said lightly: "Lord Luoer went to Qingzhuxuan with several other adults tonight, got drunk, and was brought back by the guards in the mansion in the afternoon. I've been sleeping since I came back, and I haven't woken up yet. ”

After listening to Rig's narration, Margaret's originally tense face finally showed a slightly lost look. For her husband, Margaret is really disappointed.

However, this expression of loss did not last long on her face, and she quickly put it away. After recovering her cold appearance, Margaret said lightly to Rig: "Okay, thank you, Lord Rig, it's not early now, if you don't have anything else, please go back first." I brought back a couple of friends and wanted to talk about things here. ”

Hearing Margaret's eviction order, Rig first bowed down with great interest and prepared to leave. But when he was about to turn around, Rig couldn't help but glance at Li Yi and the others, and then opened his mouth to ask Margaret: "I don't know what the origin of these distinguished guests brought back by Madame Lohr, I don't think I will stay too, so that it can also show the importance of the distinguished guests, right?" ”

Seeing that this guy named Rig was so ignorant of current affairs, Li Yi couldn't help but smile as he watched from the sidelines. Looking at his performance since he appeared, Li Yi already felt that there must be some problems with this guy named Rig. Not only Margaret's attitude towards him, but also his slightly suspicious behavior.

And when Margaret heard Rig's last words, she no longer even maintained her previous indifference. Frowning slightly, Margaret said to Rig with a little anger: "Lord Rig, I wonder if you are too enthusiastic about the game, although these friends of mine are distinguished guests, but I don't think there is any need to trouble you, and they are not the kind of people who care about etiquette." ”

As soon as Margaret finished speaking, Li Yi also said on the side in time: "Well, Mrs. Lohr is right, we guys are just idlers and don't like the rules on those scenes, so this adult doesn't have to work hard for us." ”

Hearing this, Riege finally found an opportunity to take a good look at Li Yi. Although he glanced at Li Yi before, he didn't really see it clearly. Now that he had time to take a closer look, Rig found out. This man with a scar on his left eye turned out to be so handsome. Especially his golden pupils, Rieg just stared at his eyes, and he felt like he was about to lose his soul.

Feeling the strangeness on Li Yi's body, Rig didn't say anything. smiled politely at Li Yi, then bowed to Margaret again, and then said politely: "Since Madame Lore can handle this matter, then I won't participate here." So, let's take my leave. With that, Rig walked out of the main hall step by step.

Seeing that this guy named Rig had finally left from here, Margaret finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Rig's back, Margaret's face showed deep disgust and vigilance.

Seeing Margaret's strange behavior, Li Yi couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Madam, if I'm not mistaken, your impression of this person shouldn't be very good." Is there something wrong with him? ”

Hearing Li Yi's words, Margaret withdrew her gaze from the hateful guy, and then said to Li Yi with a smile: "Hehe, it's okay, this guy named Rig has been acting a little suspicious recently, and he himself is also very disgusting, so I don't have a good impression of him." ”

"Oh, I see, then I don't need to help you solve him, after all, it's not a wise choice to always have such a person by your side. Maybe one day he'll be able to deliver a fatal blow to you, it's a ticking time bomb. Looking at Margaret with a smile, Li Yi said lightly.

Regarding Li Yi's proposal, Margaret shook her head slightly, and then said lightly: "Such a guy always likes to be self-righteous, and if you keep him, you really can't tell whether it's a time bomb or a magic weapon to win by surprise." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? Hearing Margaret say this, Li Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Hehe, let's talk about these things later, after all, the relationship is more complicated, and it can't be explained clearly in a few words." Margaret said perfunctorily, it seems that she doesn't want to discuss this matter with Li Yi now.

After a moment of silence, Margaret spoke again and said to Li Yi, "Okay, now let's talk about business." Li Yi, first of all, I still want to thank you and your friends for saving my life today. This kindness, I, Margaret, will never forget. ”

"Hehe, it's easy to say, don't worry too much, it's just a gesture." Regarding Margaret's words of thanks again, Li Yi just said indifferently.

"Well, I always wrote it down. Also, Li Yi, you came here in Jingchuan Province this time to develop your mercenary group. To be honest, I'm still interested in war mercenaries like you. Since you want to develop here, it means that you want to participate in the power struggle in Jingchuan Province. Anyway, sooner or later, we will be hired, so it is better for you to help us with the Wu'an Legion. Circling around, Margaret finally said her final thoughts. After all, let's not talk about the strength of the three hundred soldiers under Li Yi for the time being, just look at Li Yi and the three people around him, they are an object that other forces in Jingchuan Province can compete for. The five-fold powerhouse is not something that can be hired casually. What's more, it's three fivefold powerhouses.
