059 Surprised
Liang Lidong found that this Rex seemed to have been trying to provoke himself for unknown reasons. Now I actually want to use words to squeeze him and use him as a subordinate. This is already another mockery in disguise, because of the natural relationship of 'aristocratic temperament', most people will undoubtedly regard Liang Lidong as a nobleman, if there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, if there is no huge title gap, a nobleman is regarded as someone else's subordinate for no reason, which is a great discrimination in itself.
Liang Lidong looked at Rex, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and his eyes were crooked with a smile, like a fox with bad intentions: "Oh, Your Excellency Emma, how are you going to let me cooperate with you?" ”
"There are also several professionals in my family, and they are clan guards who have been trained since childhood." Rex leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to put pressure on the other party: "If Your Excellency can cooperate with our clan guards, it will not be difficult for me to eliminate the enemy's assassins." ”
The so-called clan guards are actually dead soldiers cultivated by a family since childhood, they are absolutely loyal to the family, and if their contribution is high enough, they can even become a part of the family, turning from a slave to becoming a master. The subtext of Rex's remarks is that Liang Lidong will become his clan guard, but anyone with a little self-esteem will not be able to stand this kind of suggestion that there is no problem with the clear view, but in essence, there is a sinister intention.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the city lord Uther's expression was a little ugly, it was not that he was facing Liang Lidong in his heart, but now that the external enemy was in great trouble, if they were still fighting openly and secretly within themselves, it would be tantamount to having already exported half of it. The other two nobles looked a little excited, and seemed to have the rhythm of watching a play.
Liang Lidong became more and more sure, this triangular eye seemed to want to provoke him, and he smiled and said, "Your Excellency Emma's suggestion is good, but there is a small place that needs to be revised. In terms of identity, your clan guard should accept my command, Your Excellency, just stand in the rear and watch the play, the enemy's assassin, I will find a way to solve it, what do you think? ”
Since the other party has bad intentions, Liang Lidong doesn't want the other party to be happy, and the other party wants to force him to be angry, so he is calm. And he noticed just now that when Rex said those words, the guard behind him moved back, as if he wanted to do something, but seeing that Liang Lidong was not angry, he stopped.
Since the other party wanted him to fight, Liang Lidong deprived the other party of his command. Because Liang Lidong is a player, his world view is very different, and he does not have the so-called aristocratic dignity, so trying to use this method to force anger is tantamount to igniting a fire in the mud, which is simply impossible. Seeing that Liang Lidong was not angry, Rex himself was a little angry: "Hmph, my family's guard, when will it be the turn of outsiders to command." ”
"Hehe, then I'm a spell caster, when will it be my turn to assist a few clan guards?" Liang Lidong said this lightly, and even smiled, but there was a hint of sarcasm in it: "As far as I know, the highest knighthood in the border city should be the earl, but His Excellency Rex's style is full of momentum, and it is difficult for His Excellency the city lord to reach, so it must be a duke." ”
Rex suddenly jumped up in anger, pointing at Liang Lidong and trembling. Then Liang Lidong continued: "I heard that people are old and prone to stroke. People who have had a stroke will have trembling hands and feet...... Your Excellency Rex, since you are old, don't go out to hang around anymore, go home and have a good rest, these hard work, wouldn't it be good to let the juniors in the family do it for you, or do you think that the patriarch is comfortable to sit and don't want to let you sit? ”
Liang Lidong's words were a bit vicious...... But the other people in the room smiled when they heard it, as if Liang Lidong's words had touched their laughter.
And Rex's reaction was even more exaggerated, he screamed with a flushed face, slapped the table hard, and scolded: "Beta, you deceive people too much, you really bully me Emma family?" Don't think you have the city lord to back you up......"
City Lord Uther coughed and interrupted, "First of all, Lord Rex, I will not ask about the personal feud between you and Beta. ”
Liang Lidong then smiled and said, "Since it's a personal vendetta, Your Excellency Rex, how about we have an honor duel?" ”
The so-called duel of honor is an extreme solution to the irreconcilable contradiction between two nobles. Each of the two families sent one person out, and in the presence of many nobles, a fair duel was dueled, and the loser had to give up one-third of the land to the winner, and when he met the winner in public, he had to take the initiative to avoid it.
"This is an outdated custom, and I don't have to promise you." Rex said through gritted teeth.
"Alright, personal vendettas aside." Uther clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention to himself, and then he said, "Because there are many assassins on the side of the Temple of Life, I suggest that everyone stay in our city lord's mansion in the future, this place is heavily guarded, and there is Lord Beta in charge, so I think it should be very safe here." Of course, if someone has a better way, they can also say it, and we refer to it. Anyway, we just need to hold out for another three months or so, and when summer comes, victory will be on our side. ”
Liang Lidong listened to Uther's words, looked at Rex with his eyes, and saw that his face was red and blue, he must have been so angry, but he still endured it and didn't leave without brushing his sleeves. This made Liang Lidong feel more and more that this guy had some intentions, but what the hell is it, it must be stimulated to anger to have an effect! Thinking about it, Liang Lidong couldn't figure it out.
Uther had the people live in the castle first, which was also a viable option. Although the assassins also have a certain threat during the day, their home field is at night. As long as it is a human being, there is always a time to nap at night, although Liang Lidong can see through all illusions, he does not dare to guarantee that he has no time to relax. There is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, but here, because it is a military fortress, it is heavily guarded, even if the assassin wants to touch it, it is extremely difficult.
Besides, soon Fence Fence is going to contract with the magic pet, the feline is a nocturnal animal, and it has a specialty bonus in stealth and anti-stealth, and it has a strong sense of territory, which is very suitable as a night watchman.
So for this suggestion, Liang Lidong is naturally in favor. He didn't know how much advantage the Temple of Life had in the open and secret battle with the city lord, but as a weaker, it was a wise decision to stick to the existing resources and formation.
"Since everyone agrees with my judgment, let's ask a few of you to choose the floor you want to live in." Uther stood up: "When the decision is made, I will immediately bring your family members to the castle. Of course, your private soldiers can only live in the barracks. ”
The middle-aged fat man of the Althea family smiled, "It should be so...... I don't know much about the height of command in battle, since my private soldiers will be living in the barracks for a while, how about being under the command of the city lord for the time being? ”
Uther's eyes lit up, he liked this kind of person the most: "Well, I promise that I will definitely treat everyone equally." ”
"Then I'll pick the fourth floor." The middle-aged fat man stood up: "Now I'll go and see where I want to stay in the next three months." ”
"Please." Uther stood up and gestured.
The middle-aged fat man nodded, put his hands behind his back, and slowly left. Rex and Wood then chose the fifth and sixth floors, respectively, but they didn't say that they would hand over their private troops to the city lord's command. After they left, Uther snorted softly, and then asked Liang Lidong, "Where do you plan to live, there are only the fifth and seventh floors now. ”
"Where did Carl live when he was here?"
"On the seventh floor, there is the magic experiment type that he specially built a bank."
Liang Lidong replied: "Then I'll live there." ”
"It's not good, wouldn't it be too unlucky!" Uther's face was a little embarrassed.
Liang Lidong said with a smile: "The soul is just a kind of energy, Carl was not my opponent before his death, even if his soul wanders in this world, I am not afraid of him, the soul that has lost the protection of the body, and the combat ability is reduced by at least half." ”
"Whatever you want." Uther shrugged slightly.
Liang Lidong didn't want to be alone with Uther for too long, he went out of the room and went up the stairs, but instead of going directly to the seventh floor, he went to the fourth floor silently. Then he was in the corridor on the fourth floor and saw a middle-aged fat man standing in front of the window looking down at the scenery.
"What did you call me for?" Liang Lidong walked over and asked.
The middle-aged fat man turned his head: "You really can understand the code gesture of our Hibiscus family." ”
"Nonsense, this set of gestures is still what I came up with......" Liang Lidong was suddenly stunned, because he was thinking about Rex's question just now, and he didn't care, but now he felt that something was wrong. The gesture code he came up with should only exist in the game, why is the hibiscus family in the real world actually using it!
