The main tent has a huge space. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a huge gauze curtain hanging from the top of the tent. The color ranges from lavender that is so light that it is almost white, to soft purple-red, and then as deep as ink. Purple and black, layered on top of each other, vaguely blocking the scene behind the scenes. Garlic-shaped floor-to-ceiling lamp posts were scattered beside the door, the wall, and behind the gauze tent, illuminating the tent dimly and filling the air with a scent.
Minte frowned slightly. This aroma was different from the one in Frido's store. It had no aphrodisiac content, but it could make people relax and lower their vigilance. It was easy for them to muddle through and say what they wanted to hide, or to Say yes to something you wouldn't otherwise say yes to. Did Mrs. Ziya light this kind of incense in her tent on purpose
However, with such a strong scent, it must have been lit for a long time. Could it be used to deal with Esparo
Minte followed Frido as he walked inside step by step. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a dozen young women hidden behind the veil. They were veiled and could not see what they looked like, but they all had graceful figures. They might be holding fruits in their hands. They were holding a golden pot, or holding a lyre and playing softly, chatting in a low voice. Occasionally, they would secretly glance at the visitor, smile crookedly, and send a few glances at them.
Minte quickly looked away and secretly looked at the furnishings in the tent. You can vaguely see behind the gauze curtain. There are gorgeous hangings hanging on the surrounding tent walls, and a large soft carpet on the ground. The center is woven with a dozen different shades of purple wool into a complicated pattern, and the edges are soft and fluffy white. Mao, there were low wooden tables on both sides, carved with exquisite grape patterns, and soft pillows were thrown aside casually. There were wine sets and fruit plates on the table, all made of gold, and the gold was dazzling.
Before they reached the center of the carpet, they were blocked from going any further. The layers of gauze in front covered a thick soft couch, and a woman could be faintly seen lying on the couch, lazily. Casual, but exuding a kind of temptation. She gently picked up a red fruit from the crystal fruit plate in front of her, took a bite casually, looked up at Frido, said nothing, but glanced to the side.
Only then did Minte realize that there was a man sitting next to him, who looked familiar. If you think about it carefully, it was when you escaped from Tuli Camp and went to Mongli to find Frido. The man who is the boss of "Friedolf" turns out to be Mrs. Ziya's subordinate.
The man received Mrs. Ziya's signal and asked Frido with a smile: "You haven't been here for a long time. What do you want to do today?"
Frido smiled with a stiff face: "I haven't been here for a few months, but your rules are much stricter. What? I can't see Mrs. Ziya?" He already knew what she looked like. Why are you pretending to be mysterious
The man smiled: "Madam's identity is different now." He glanced at Minte: "Who is this?"
Frido held back his anger, pulled Mint to sit next to him, and said with a smile: "This is my nephew. He has been a swordsman since he was a child. He is very good at swordsmanship. He wants to make a career in Mengli. I heard that Madam is short of people here, so I wanted to Let him try."
The man chuckled: "Frido. I've never heard that you have a brother. When did you have such a big nephew?"
"It's not kissing the ground. Can't you?!" Frido glared at him. "When I ran away, I saved my life thanks to the help from his family. Now his children have to find work. How can I not help? What a good kid. Better than most of you here! "
Men don’t believe it. He looked at Minte's thin figure with some contempt: "Are you really good at skills? It doesn't look like it. Frido. We are old friends. Your nephew is looking for a job. You can just come to me directly. Don't bother me. lady."
Frido sneered: "I only know that Mrs. Ziya is the owner of the entertainment oasis." He turned to Ziya behind the gauze curtain: "This kid's skills are not bad. If you don't believe it, you can ask someone to try it." In fact, he Not sure about Xiao Mingna's skills. But since it can scare the store clerk. It shouldn't be bad, right
Ziya was noncommittal. He whispered a few words to a maid next to him. The maid then went out. Soon. Bring in a tall, strong man. muscular. His face was full of ferocity. He bowed awkwardly to Ziya and the man. Then he glared at Minte and asked, "Is that you? You want to be a guard. Get through me first!"
Before Minte could speak. The man spoke first: "Madam, you are tired today. It will be more interesting for you to fight. Let everyone open up."
The big man responded loudly, but Minte frowned slightly. If he really came to apply for a guard today, he would definitely be angry. After all, the swordsmen are not jugglers, how can you ask them to "fight more interestingly"
While Minte was disapproving, he accidentally caught a glimpse of Frido winking at him, and then realized that the man was looking at him. He suddenly remembered that he was acting too calm. He had to know that he was playing a silent but characterful person. The gloomy and lonely young master will definitely get angry when encountering this kind of situation, but if he changes his expression now, it seems too deliberate. In a flash of thought, he already has a plan.
He stood in front of the big man, deliberately keeping a straight face, expressionless, but faintly exuding a cold air. Even the man put away the smile on his face, but the big man still raised his chin towards Minte with a nonchalant expression: "Come on, you take action first, lest others say I bully children!"
Min Te sneered in his heart, and obediently approached the big man. Before he could react, he kicked him first, and then quickly jumped back before the opponent could counterattack. He had already estimated the opponent's strength and ability to take a beating, and calculated his own The level of performance is required.
This was almost a one-sided competition. The big man was much stronger than Minte, but Minte relied on his flexible dodges to avoid every heavy blow. However, he could not prevent Minte from using force from time to time. He had black feet and black hands. After a while, he received twenty or thirty blows on his body and feet, and his face was also bruised. Minte considered that enmity with the other party might have an impact on his investigation work, so he lowered the intensity, but it was enough for the big man.
Finally, after a punch from Minte, the big man fell to the ground on his back, with blood gurgling from his nose, and the waitresses who were watching the excitement screamed in panic. Mrs. Ziya ordered in disgust: "Take him out quickly! Don't dirty my carpet." Everyone hurriedly carried the big man out of the tent.
Minte calmly returned to sit down next to Frido. The latter felt extremely proud, and asked with a proud smile: "How was it? Not bad, right?"
Ziya behind the gauze curtain smiled softly: "It's indeed good. The young man must have been studying for many years, right? It's not easy." Her voice was low and soft, with a hint of sadness, which made people feel like there was a feather. Gently scratched the heart.
Minte's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He felt very strange and took a few deep breaths to regain his composure. Frido was still stunned.
The man coughed slightly and said with a smile: "I can't believe it, but it seems that the strength is not enough, it is just relying on skills. Our guards here can't do well just by relying on skills."
Minte said coldly: "Skill is also a kind of power. If used well, it is much better than someone who just relies on brute force."
"Bang!" The sound of a gold cup and plate falling to the ground came from behind the gauze curtain. Minte looked over and saw that the woman behind the curtain had stood up and stared straight in his direction, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"Where did you hear this?! Tell me! Who sent you here?!" Mrs. Ziya's breathing was a little rapid. The expression is very fierce. She almost jumped out from behind the gauze curtain, and Minte could even see her face. Her skin was white and her appearance was charming. She did look a bit like Princess Fnoya of the Elf Forest. But his temperament is completely different, and he seems a bit older.
Minte looked puzzled. Is there anything wrong with this sentence
Ziya was still mumbling to herself: "I knew there must be someone like you who deliberately wears the clothes he usually wears, does the things he once did, and deliberately says the things he once said to attract me. Pay attention..." She gritted her teeth and said: "You think you can deceive me like this? You're dreaming!"
Minte blinked, guessing that what she just said probably reminded her of her grandfather, and asked quietly: "Madam, who are you talking about?" Frido also said: "Ziya, you think too much. ”
Mrs. Ziya turned around to look at him. After a while, she looked away. She lay back on the soft couch charmingly, took a sip of wine, as if nothing happened just now, and said lightly: "My skills are okay. , The action is quite fast. Go and help patrol the camp."
The guards who patrol the camp are almost the lowest level of staff. The so-called patrol camp is actually dealing with those drunk guests who fall in the middle of the road and obstruct traffic. Or the customer who refuses to leave despite being unable to pay, the customer who gets into a quarrel with his wife and children over the issue of a showgirl and a dancer, causing everyone to feel uneasy...etc., and occasionally he also plays a guest role as a male waiter. As for security work, it is the responsibility of the guards stationed throughout or outside the oasis.
The candidate came from an ally and was a "nephew". He had already proven his extraordinary skills, but he still arranged it like this. He clearly didn't take Minte seriously. Frido's expression changed, and he suddenly stood up, but was caught by Min, whose eyes warned him not to act rashly.
In fact, this kind of job is more ideal for Minte. He doesn't want to be assigned to Mrs. Ziya and unable to move freely all day long.
Frido also thought of this quickly and said nothing, but he couldn't swallow it no matter what. When he heard Mrs. Ziya wave her hand casually and said: "I'm tired, you can go down." It seemed that he was regarded as a human being. After seeing the servant, he couldn't help it anymore and sneered: "Madam, are you tired? You really deserve a good rest. But why are you so tired? The guest just now is Earl Xiao's enemy. You worked hard to entertain him. In this case, I wonder what Earl Xiao, who left, would think if he knew about it?" After saying that, he turned around and left.
Minte couldn't help but roll his eyes. If he had known earlier, he would not have told him this. Could it be that the aroma in the tent caused his impulse
"Stop!" Ziya stood up and stopped him, "Speak clearly! What kind of enemy?!"
Frido sneered: "Ziya, don't you know? That person's name is Esparo Heda. His father once harmed Earl Xiao, and he almost killed Earl Xiao's son. The two families are considered to have a feud. I didn’t expect him to be your guest. But it’s no wonder, you are not Earl Xiao’s wife after all.”
"Shut up!" Ziya glared at Frido fiercely, "How do you know who he is?!"
"Of course I have my sources of information in this business, but I can't tell you this." Frido dusted off the dust on his sleeves, "It seems that the people under you are not good, they have been living here for more than a day. , they haven’t found out such an important thing yet. A layman is a layman.”
He just dropped a few light words and left, leaving Minte alone to bear the vicious looks from others. Minte couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seemed that Frido had a lot of resentment towards his colleagues in the entertainment oasis.
What a blessing to Tofredo, when Minte was assigned to patrol the camp, no one was willing to partner with him, and he was often tripped up by others. He came to block all the troublemakers and beat away all the troublemakers. Although he mostly used skills, as time went by, everyone knew that he was capable and did not dare to provoke him again, so he had more time. and freedom to investigate Esparo's affairs.
He quickly found out that Esparo lived in a medium-sized tent near Ziya's main tent, and there were two small tents where two maids lived next to each other, always enjoying the top hospitality.
Ever since Frido revealed in front of Ziya that he was the eldest son of Heda, Ziya had cut off all supplies of water and water, and arranged a large number of guards to guard around his tent, prohibiting him from leaving. During those two days, Esparo had to rely on the waitress around him to sneak in food.
Minte walked by outside his tent and vaguely saw him sitting on the lower side looking distressed, and felt a sense of joy in his heart.
But when he turned to the back of the tent, he unexpectedly heard two men's voices coming from inside. One belonged to Esparo, and the other had never heard of him before. Apart from Esparo, there were obviously only female waitresses in the tent, so how could there be any men
He quietly walked over and listened carefully, and vaguely heard the voice inside: "...We are ready. As long as...the order is given, it will be...Gail II is dead, and Noga's throne is ours...Jada is in the way." The Duke and several other nobles, as long as something unexpected happens..."
"That's good, but it's a pity that things are not going well here. It seems that someone has become suspicious and is investigating." This was Heda's voice.
"Ziya... is too much. She should... be taught a lesson. I will... tonight."
Minte got closer to hear more clearly, but he heard a loud shout: "Who is outside?!" The people inside had gotten up and rushed towards him.
