Chapter 278: Concern from afar
The day after the Twilight Mansion was raided.
Thundercloud City Field Hospital.
I have to say that Bolton, a macho man, is simply iron, his shoulder was opened by Barrett, and he can get out of bed and move directly after the operation, but his left arm can't move yet, but with the physique of a transcendent person and the special medicine of this world, it should not take long to heal.
Burton was in an emergency ward at this time, and the bruised Niko was lying on the operating table, and four or five military doctors cooperated with each other to perform emergency surgery for her, and the blood had stained red with a few balls of gauze.
Niko was too badly injured yesterday, but thanks to Roman's timely rescue, there were also senior military doctors in the troops who raided the government residence, and there were sufficient reserves of blood bags and medicines, so she controlled her injuries along the way, so that her life was not frozen at the age of 16.
Roman was reporting the ins and outs of the whole thing to Bolton, and after listening to it, Bolton immediately frowned: "What the hell is going on?" Things are messed up enough, why did you bring in a woman wearing a mask again?! ”
Roman's tone was very cautious: "Your Royal Highness, although the incident happened in Twilight City, I have a gut feeling that this woman may have something to do with the assassination of you. As for the hunt for Administrator Chino, as Niko told me, we should find out more about it..."
"Shut your mouth!" Burton directly interrupted Roman with a cold face, and scolded mercilessly, "You are a personal guard who has just joined the army for less than half a year, what are you talking about here?" I haven't even held you accountable for harboring a suspect! For the sake of your friends, you dare to ignore my military orders, and you and this girl who tried to escape should be beheaded! ”
Roman's face turned pale, and he knelt down on one knee and said, "If you want to kill, kill me!" Please spare Neko..."
"Smack!" Bolton slammed it over, knocking Roman to the ground and half of his face swollen
Bolton grabbed Roman by the collar with one hand, picked him up, and said coldly, "Kill you? Oh, kill you, you have the reputation of a flower messenger, Lao Tzu is going to be scolded cold-blooded and ruthless, you think very well! Want to be a hero? You're not qualified enough. ”
Bolton pushed Roman away, turned away, and left a lukewarm sentence: "Guard Roman, I officially inform you that you have been demoted, and now you are a medical assistant, your only task is to cooperate with the military doctor here, take good care of this girl, and when her injuries improve, I will interrogate." If something happens to her, Lao Tzu will chop off your head with his own hands! ”
Roman was stunned for a moment, looked at Bolton gratefully, and bowed his head heavily: "Obey!" ”
After leaving the hospital, Bolton found a confidant and said in a deep voice, "Send out scouts immediately, and search for the masked woman around Twilight City according to the characteristics described by Roman, and everyone with similar stature will be immediately monitored." In addition, the search for the Chino administrator does not stop, he is still the first suspect. ”
"Yes." The henchmen are gone.
After dealing with the affairs of the hospital, Bolton walked to the residence, where he, Lorna, and Solandelle lived, surrounded by guards and sentry posts, and was the most heavily guarded place in the entire Thundercloud City.
As soon as Bolton returned, he saw Lorna sitting on the ground playing with crickets, and he immediately said angrily, "Lorna, didn't you let you ride the scarlet night in the sky to find Chino's traces?" Why don't you move? ”
"I'm not looking for him, the prisoner is not Chino, why am I looking for him?" Lorna's expression was clearly angry with Bolton, and she kept poking the crickets in the stomach with a twig, her face dreary.
Bolton said helplessly: "All the evidence points to him, what can I do?" Besides, I didn't say that I would be convicted immediately if I caught him, and I would definitely have learned from him what had happened before making a decision. ”
Lorna grabbed the cricket and threw it into the grass: "Whatever you want, anyway, Solan said she didn't believe it, then I didn't believe it either." ”
Burton laughed directly: "You listen to what Solan says, you are stupid!" Don't have the ability to make your own decisions? Solan told you to jump off the cliff, do you want to go? ”
"Go." Lorna said with a nonchalant face, "I often have nothing to do in Cold Valley, I have dragon blood anyway, and I am not afraid of falling." ”
“? ......" Burton felt that he couldn't communicate with this iron Hanhan, and shook his head and entered the mansion.
Burton walked up to the second floor and knocked on the door to enter Solandale's room.
Solandelle was lying in front of the window at this time, looking at the night in a daze, as soon as she saw Bolton, she suddenly came back to her senses: "Brother, is your injury better?" ”
The first sentence was to care about his brother, which made Burton feel very relieved, and he touched Randel's little head and said softly, "It's much better, why don't you sleep yet?" ”
"I can't sleep... When I thought that Chino was seriously injured and was still missing, my heart was very blocked..."Solandelle looked out the window with sad eyes, and suddenly, she remembered something, "By the way, brother, I have been thinking for a long time this afternoon and sorting out some doubts, why don't you take a look..."
Seeing Solandelle take out a small notebook from his arms, Burton shook his head, held her hand, and sighed: "Solan, you really don't want to be so stubborn. Have a little faith in your brother, okay? ”
"If Chino is the real murderer, he can't escape. If Chino is wronged, I will definitely clear him and work with him to find out the real culprit. I won't kill the good guys by mistake, and I won't let the bad guys go. But the primary goal of all this will not change - I must first find him, let him come to me, and restore the whole thing. ”
Solandale pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
"Alright, little one, it's really time for you to rest. The doctor said that your pulse is fast today, and you should be nervous after being stimulated, so you must rest well. Come, brother, take you to bed. Bolton grabbed Solandale with one arm, carried her to the covers, and covered her with the covers.
Although the mansion was surrounded by guards and was very safe, it was a special time after all, so Bolton took off the crossbow he wore on his waist and put it on Solandale's bedside table, saying, "I have instructed the servants not to enter the room while you are sleeping." But if you find someone other than me and Lorna coming in at night, whether you recognize him or not, shoot him with a crossbow and shout, I'll come to your rescue, and I'll sleep next door. How to use a crossbow remember? I've taught you before. ”
"Yes." Solandale smiled and said, "You taught me to play a crossbow at the time, and I was scolded by my father. ”
Bolton laughed and said, "He thinks you should be a quiet little princess, but the descendant of the royal family can't use weapons, how can you do it?" ”
"Uh-huh!"
Burton asked with concern: "Are you afraid to sleep alone?" Or I'll move over, you sleep on the bed, and I'll lay on the floor. ”
Solandelle patted Bolton's hand lightly: "I'm not afraid, you are so badly injured, sleeping on the floor is not conducive to recovery, brother, you must have a good rest and strive for an early recovery." ”
"What a little angel for me." Burton touched Randell's face, "Good night, then." ”
"Good night brother~"
After Bolton left, Solandale locked the door, washed and got into the bed, his blue eyes staring out the window at the night sky, as if he were looking through the night to someone.
"No, you must be safe," she muttered, closing her eyes and slowly falling asleep.
