"Why are you here?" The poor worm finally found out that Xia Ya was coming, put down the unfinished long skirt in his hand, and looked at Xia Ya with a smile, a look of bright eyes and white teeth, which made Xia Ya's heart Unexplainable trembling.
He took a deep breath at random, walked over slowly, first embraced Adeline, then leaned over to kiss his fiancee's red lips lightly, and then smiled: "It's nothing, just come here when you have time. look at you."
Adeline's face was blushing - a woman is really strange. In the past, she was able to escape from Wildfire in a female escort as a man. Later, in order to go north to find Xi Ya, she went all the way north from the imperial capital. Such a girl who dares to love and hate. , Before getting married, she became shy, and when Xia Ya kissed her so gently, Adeline's face was on fire, and she exclaimed before gently pushing Xia Ya away, begging for mercy: Don't… here…"
Xia Ya laughed and was proud, but then she saw the unfriendly eyes of the elves in the room-these elves were really "honest", and they dared to be so famous when they were eating and drinking here. expressed his dissatisfaction without concealing it.
On the other hand, Sophie was finally Xia Ya's official, she coughed lightly, took on the appearance of a chief of staff, first bowed to Xia Ya, and then smiled: "General, you came by coincidence, I was about to Go to the garrison to find you…”
Xia Ya hurriedly waved his hand: "Okay, I'm not working today. If you have something to do, you can handle it. Anyway, I can trust you."
Sophie was stunned for a moment, then pursed her lips and nodded, "Yes, the general's wedding is imminent, and the subordinates really shouldn't bother you with those tedious things."
Saying that, Sophie was quite winking, and quickly found an excuse to leave.
As Sophie left, the elves managed to hide their unhappiness, and the words "Impatient" were clearly written on their faces, and they were about to accuse Xi Ya of interfering with their work.
Xia Ya was too lazy to look at the faces of these elves here, so he pulled his fiancee and said with a smile, "Let's go."
Adeline is a little reluctant to unfinished skirts - these elves are really amazing, and even Adeline, who came from a royal family, has never seen such exquisite and beautiful dresses, but Xi Ya has never seen such gorgeous dresses. Immediately, he gently hugged Adeline's waist and hugged his bride directly.
After leaving the room, Adeline sighed softly, snuggled into Xia Ya's arms, and said softly, "Why did you come here? The day after tomorrow is the wedding. According to tradition, we won't be able to meet each other for two days."
"Where do so many taboos come from?" Xia Ya waved his hands indifferently and smiled broadly: "Your husband and I have no taboos in doing things."
Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "I miss you, so I'll come and see you."
Adeline's eyes narrowed immediately, she raised her hand and hooked Xia Ya's neck, and lightly pecked on Xia Ya's cheek: "You are the commander-in-chief of the entire army now, the overlord of the north, so you can't be so ignorant. There are many things, big and small, but I can’t let my temperament come—I don’t want to be called a disaster for the country and the people before I get married.”
Xia Ya laughed, pinched Adeline's nose, and whispered, "You are my trouble!"
Immediately, he touched his own Xiaya, looked at the poor man, and suddenly said: "I just remembered that your teeth were lost on the Wildfire Plain, and I also said that I would put gold teeth on you, But now that I think about it, you didn't listen to me. Come, come, my good wife, after I get married, I will definitely find a few goldsmiths with superb craftsmanship to give you a good inlay..."
Adeline spat and scolded with a smile: "Bullying me again... What a golden tooth, it's ugly."
Xia Ya immediately said loudly: "How can it be! My wife must be unparalleled beauty, even if it is a mouth of gold teeth, it must be extremely beautiful."
After teasing with Adeline, Xiaya was in a good mood. She wanted to have a good time with her fiancée here, but unfortunately someone came over.
Xia Ya's bodyguard ran in quickly, and brought a person with him. Xia Ya saw from a distance that the man running behind his bodyguard with a sweaty sweat was his former servant Irent.
Since this farmer has made contributions on the battlefield, he has been sent to serve in the army by Char. Originally, Xiaya also had a good intention to give this guy a future, but he never thought that this guy Ylent was a scumbag. He used to be lazy when he was a farmer. When he was in the army, he was still not his true character. material.
But thinking that this guy is still a little clever, Xiaya simply threw him to the General Administration of Logistics and handed him over to Cato for training. This guy has a little peasant-style cleverness and shrewdness, but he does a bit of a job in the General Logistics Administration. I heard that even Cato appreciates him very much.
This time, I sent people to meet the subordinate officials from the imperial capital, and this task was handed over to Irent.
Seeing that Ilent ran back, Char knew that the mission must be completed, and this guy came to return to him.
Xia sighed immediately - she really couldn't relax before getting married.
He gave Adeline an apologetic look, but Adeline smiled softly.
The guards and Ilent ran to their side and saluted Xiaya. After all, Ilent was born as a servant next to Char. After salute to Xi Ya, he immediately gave a big salute to Adeline.
The poor worm smiled slightly, raised his hand, and whispered, "If you have something to say, I'll go first."
Saying so, he went back to the house.
Xia tsk tsk, a little helpless, looked at Ilent: "It's done?"
Irent nodded quickly with a flattering look on his face.
Xia Ya was actually a little speechless in his heart—whether Ilent or Dodo, the two closest servants beside him were all Dexing, who looked like a dog's leg and a horse.
"Did it go well?" Xia Yaduo asked.
"My lord, those guys from the Imperial Capital, I think they are all stupid." Ilent smiled: "Whatever I say, they will believe what I say. They are more obedient than children."
Xia Ya frowned and said lightly: "Don't be so careless, you are thinking too simply. These guys have been messing around in places like the imperial capital for I don't know how many years, and their knowledge is a hundred times better than your country boy! In fact, none of these people are fools! They let you knead them, but they are just unfamiliar with life, and they have no choice but to listen to your nonsense. If you underestimate these people, you will suffer in the future. "
"Yes, yes! It's my fault." Ilente naturally regarded Xi Ya's words as a holy voice, and did not violate it at all: "Master, I'm just here to ask you for instructions, as we expected, those guys Knowing that you are going to get married, you are not in a hurry to take office. You will come to Denzel City to watch the ceremony. Master Green arranged the carriage and sent them over. I rode a fast horse and came back to report this matter to you first. , those guys, are expected to arrive in Denzel City tomorrow morning, when..."
"You can do what you want to do then." Xia Ya said lightly: "You go to Sophie's chief of staff about this matter. Why don't you arrange a welcome banquet? After all, there are hundreds of officials from the imperial capital. But I will I won’t attend, anyway, the day after tomorrow is the wedding, and I don’t have time to attend before the wedding, so this excuse is justified.”
Every time Char said a word, Irent nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
Xia Ya pondered for a while, and suddenly smiled: "You still have to come forward for this reception. Be smart, and show great courtesy to the masters of the imperial capital in person, no matter what they say or ask. Just follow them. Turn your face away and ignore them. Well, you know what it means to do one thing in front of you and another behind your back? . Delay the wedding first, and spend a few more days after the wedding. Let the local brothers finish things, and then let these gentlemen take office. "
Illent wrote them down one by one, this guy's dog's legs are his dog's legs, but he is still very dedicated, otherwise Xia Ya will not reuse him. Immediately afterwards, Irent left to go to work.
Xia still wanted to relax again, but then a few things came to her door, but it was Cato who sent someone to say that the dwarves from outside the city sent people into the city to see him, and it was probably about the forging of weapons. Any differences have to be decided by yourself.
In fact, Xia Ya was a little speechless.
It stands to reason that he really shouldn't be so busy, even two days before the wedding.
However, this matter really has something to do with those subordinate officials in the imperial capital.
In order to "welcome" the officials assigned by the imperial capital, Xiaya dispatched all his capable people to various places in the early morning.
For example, Reinhardt, such as Dax and others, even Philip and Affleck and others have all been sent out. Now, except for a few teams of guards, all the subordinates are not around, making big and small matters. He has to deal with it himself.
As for what those people were sent out to do, it was simple: prepare to meet.
In order to welcome the subordinate officials of the imperial capital to take office, Char's welcome job is to empty all the local finances and inventories! Taxes are collected in advance! Don't say it's a bag of grain in the warehouse, if you can find a grain of wheat, it's your skill!
Even some of the ruthless, I heard that the door panel of the local administration office was torn down and carried away.
In a word, before the gentlemen of the imperial capital took office, the government treasury in their jurisdiction was basically clean, and there was not a single hair left for them.
In order to complete this "big move", Xiaya's powerful subordinates were basically dispatched to various places, and even the strong riding battalion around him sent most of them out, leaving only the small half to serve as guards.
However, after dealing with a few more things, the last official business made Xia Ya frown and pinch her teeth, also with a helpless look on her face.
The reason is very simple. This is a report from the city defense cavalry of Denzel City: their immediate boss, Nene, has called for sick leave, and he doesn't care, so the officers guarding the city came to ask Xi Ya who should take over.
Xia Ya was helpless.
He naturally understood the reason why Nenewan disappeared. Moreover, as the big boss of the Northern Army, as a subordinate, Nene wants to report sickness and ask for leave. It stands to reason that he should ask him for instructions first, but he suddenly disappeared and left behind a mess of things—but Xia still happens to be It is impossible to punish Nene for this matter.
Stop joking, now Xia Ya feels guilty when she sees Nene, how can she dare to face Miss Nene
Knocked on the forehead and sighed, Xia first made a final decision to assign the responsibility of city defense to Sharba, and then sent the visitor away.
Nene... Well, I hope nothing happens to her.
※※※
Just when Char was having a headache, Nene himself had just entered the city from the north gate of Denzel City.
When entering the city, there was also a small episode.
Nene came back on horseback, but naturally the armor on her body was no longer worn. When Nene left the riverside, she found that with the recovery of her appearance, her body was no longer as thick as a monster like before.
She has become a slender woman, how can she still wear that large armor
Nei was only wearing a robe, although the robe was a bit too big, but she tied her waist a little bit, and with her current peerless demeanor, she looked more and more elegant.
It's just... that something is wrong with her horses.
Denzel City is a border trade base that Char is vigorously preparing to develop, so generally speaking, the city defense is relatively open. As long as there is no major incident, the city gates are basically open all day, and there is no need for a special pass to enter or leave the city. Everyone needs to pay a little city gate tax when entering and leaving the city, and then receive a sign, and then they can all day. With this brand, you can enter the city at will, and you will no longer be charged taxes.
Nei is an officer in the army, and he is a relatively high-ranking kind, so it is natural to pass in and out of the city.
But the problem is... Now Nei Nei's appearance has changed drastically. Who can recognize this beautiful and stunning beauty in front of her, who is the famous female general in the Northern Army
Nei was wearing a casual robe, and she was still a little uneasy. She couldn't help but caress her cheek along the way. She always felt that everything that happened today was like a dream, as if she only needed to touch the next moment. Face, you will wake up, this "face change" experience is just a dream.
But after walking all the way down, I finally realized in my heart: I really wasn't dreaming!
It was possible to go outside Denzel City, but Nei Nei's heart became more and more uneasy.
I... really want to go into the city, so I went straight to see Xia? see that guy
and then
Then what do you do yourself
Is to question why he doesn't like me
Or as the mysterious woman said, let him see his face, and then laugh at him for being blind
It seems... it doesn't seem right.
When entering the city, Nei Nei was unable to straighten out her thoughts. But when the guards at the city gate stopped her and asked her to pay the city entrance tax, Nene did not reveal her identity. Although the military badge and badge were in her arms, she was not in the mood. Branches at the gate of the city - how do you explain yourself to others? Said that he was the commander of Nei Nei, but he just walked out of the city and came back as a big beauty
Nene paid the tax for entering the city in a low-key manner. One person plus one horse was just two copper horns.
Originally, there would be no accident.
Although the soldiers guarding the city were very shocked by the appearance of the young girl in front of them.
Even when Nei Nei was collecting taxes, the soldier who took over the bronze horns that Nei Nei handed over was red-faced and didn't dare to look directly into Nei Nei's eyes! The guards at the city gate next to them all stared at themselves dumbfounded, and the pedestrians around also cast all kinds of strange eyes, some shocking, some envious, some admiring...
Nene has not been seen with such eyes for many years.
The little officer at the gate of the city was shocked by the beauty of Nei Nei, and even spoke in a more polite tone. He also "enthusiastically" asked Nei Nei what was going on when he entered the city. If there was any difficulty, he was willing to help Yunyun.
Facing the little officer who approached him with a clumsy mouth, Nene didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She actually recognized this little officer. When she led the troops out of the city to perform the previous time, the little officer guarding the city saw her and was so frightened that her face turned pale.
Nene rejected the kindness of this obviously admiring officer, but as soon as she entered the city, she found herself being targeted.
What made Nene laugh or cry was that it was her subordinate who was staring at her!
In order to welcome Lord Char's wedding and ensure the stability of public security in Denzel City before and after the wedding, the independent cavalry regiment of the Northern Army has urgently dispatched 500 cavalry troops to temporarily enrich the city defense patrol force of Denzel City.
Half of the patrols in Denzel City are now cavalry from the Independent Cavalry Regiment.
It was a team of cavalry patrolling the city just passing by the city gate who were staring at Nene.
The two headed, from afar, saw Nei Nei riding slowly into the city one by one, and immediately paid attention.
Soon, under a few secret gestures, this team of cavalry immediately surrounded.
A group of cavalry spread out, back and forth, left and right, quietly leaning towards the position where Nei Nei was walking, in fact, they had quietly surrounded Nei Nei.
Then, the cavalry captain slowly rode his horse and leaned up: "Stop!"
Nene looked at these cavalry...
These cavalrymen, who are just immortal, are the horse thieves under their own background!
The cavalry captain approached and saw Nene's appearance clearly. He was also lost in a trance. He couldn't help but looked at it a few more times. Fortunately, he came back to his senses, and then stared at the horse under Nene's crotch, his eyes were got a little more serious.
"This lady." When the horse thief spoke, it was probably because Nene was too beautiful and his tone was extraordinarily polite - but Nene knew that his subordinates were never so well-bred on weekdays.
These guys are from horse thieves, and they have to make a three-foot wave when they have nothing to do. None of these guys is a bad thing. Although the military is strictly disciplined, everyone is very honest when performing military affairs, but when he is on vacation, he has done many things like fighting, drinking and making trouble.
Nene stopped the horse and looked at this guy: "Is something wrong?"
"Your horse." The cavalry captain's tone was serious: "Where did your horse come from!"
Nene sighed.
Nene immediately realized that these old subordinates who were born horse thieves recognized their war horses. As the commander of the cavalry regiment, Nei's horses are naturally high-quality horses, even in the entire army of the Northern Army, they are all among the best horses.
What's more, even if others don't recognize their horses, how can these old subordinates who came from horse thieves not recognize them
The eyes of these cavalrymen are very poisonous, they have long recognized their war horses, and some people have even stared at the marks on the horses!
Horses may have similarities, but the imprints can never be faked! The hot stamping on the rear of the horse is clearly the symbol of a cavalry horse!
There was even a horse thief whose eyes were even more poisonous, staring at a dagger in a small leather case on the saddle (also something Nene used to use on weekdays), his eyes never looked away, and his hands quietly Hold the handle!
Nene understood that if he couldn't tell the origin of the horses and things, these guys would never let him go.
But Nene still couldn't explain it.
Do you tell these people that "the old lady is Nei Nei!"? Saying this will definitely be caught by the other party as a lunatic.
"Well... it was given to me by a female officer named Nene to bring it into the city." Nene began to make up nonsense.
It's a pity that our eldest Miss Nene seems to be very bad at lying, and the lies she made up were very lame: "I met the female officer outside the city, she said that she would be away for a while, and when she met me, she invited me Help her bring the horses back to the city, I'm going to the garrison to return the horses..."
The cavalry captain who was a horse thief heard this, but his face softened, and he made a silent gesture to the people around him, with a smile on his face: "So that's the case, but I've turned you over."
Immediately, he glanced at Nene again: "You look very sharp, aren't you from this city?"
"I... I came from Wildfire." Nene hesitated.
"Hehe, it's not far." The cavalry captain had already moved out of the way and said with a smile, "Since you're from outside and you don't even recognize the garrison, our brothers will send you there."
Saying that, several cavalrymen had already leaned up from left and right, sandwiching Nei Nei on both sides.
She smiled wryly in her heart... These guys were brought out by her, how could she not know the ideas of these guys? It's obvious that he doesn't believe his own nonsense at all, but because of the large crowd here, he wants to take himself to a secluded place first and then take it down.
"Alright." Nene nodded. It was very cooperative and left surrounded by these cavalry.
The group went farther and farther, but it became more and more remote, and soon came to a narrow path with no passers-by. The cavalry suddenly stopped, and a few cavalry immediately circled around Nei, the captain. He had already pulled out the knife in his hand, with a cold expression on his face, he shouted in a low voice: "Hey! Little Nizi! Honestly tell the truth, how did you get this horse! Are you a fool to be me! Our eldest lady? If you want to go far, you need to use a horse! How can you send the horse back? What's more, our eldest lady is a horse lover, so how can we give our horses to strangers casually! Also, even if it is sent by someone else Horse! But the dagger on your saddle is clearly something that our eldest miss never leaves her body! How could it be in your hands! Tell me! Where did you come from!? Where is our eldest lady now?! She How did it get into your hands?!"
Nene sighed, then she smiled lightly, raised her hands, made a harmless gesture, and slowly dismounted.
The posture of dismounting with arms raised is extremely neat, but it makes the eyes of several cavalrymen even more awe-inspiring - they are all elite cavalry, and they live on horses all the year round. How can you not see how powerful Nene's dismounting action is
"If you don't believe what I said, I can't do anything about it." Nei smiled helplessly: "Since you don't believe me, I'll be unlucky for this matter. Well, I'll bring back the horse and the things on the saddle for you. It's done..."
She raised her hands and slowly leaned to the side. The few cavalrymen saw that she had no weapons in their hands, and just pointed at her with sabres. The two cavalrymen dismounted and leaned over cautiously, holding ropes in their hands, and said coldly: "It's not that easy to let you go. You can cooperate obediently, go back with us, and make things clear. If we make a mistake, we'll apologize to you, but if it's not clear, hum..."
Nei retracted cautiously, looked at the two cavalry soldiers approaching, and sighed in her heart...
Just when a cavalryman's hand was about to pull on the corner of her clothes, Nene moved!
She suddenly turned around, and her body quickly spun behind the cavalry. A hand knife slashed the opponent's neck, and the cavalry immediately softened. Immediately, Nene quickly kicked the leg of another cavalryman, and the cavalryman stumbled and fell out.
The surrounding cavalry suddenly exploded, and they rushed up with their knives!
In the face of the oncoming knife, Nei bowed her head and shrank, and the blade slid past her head, but Nei had already moved, and slipped from the crotch of the cavalry's horse to the other side, a cold light flashed in her hand. , but it was the dagger that she did not know when it was buckled in the palm of her hand. When the knife went down, the belt of the saddle was immediately cut off, and the cavalry captain on the horse immediately fell from the other side of the horse.
Nei's body had already rushed out quickly, and had already escaped the encirclement, shrinking under a wall, and jumping up high, jumping over the wall, and falling into a courtyard.
The cavalry on the road whistled and quickly dismounted to chase after them. Some people climbed over the wall and some hit the door, but after rushing in, the yard was empty, where is there any trace of Nei Nei
"Look!" The cavalry captain got up and looked at his subordinates. Although one was knocked out and the other was kicked away, none of them were injured. The horse thief shouted sharply: "Send someone to report the matter here, gather brothers and be good. This woman's origin is unknown, she is so powerful, and our eldest miss's things are in her hands again! Look for her! Even if you turn over Denzel City, you will find her!!"
※※※
Nei's physique is sharp, and he has already climbed over several courtyard walls in a few ups and downs. After a few moments, he has already jumped out of an alley, and then quickly ran out of another street.
She has lived in Denzel City for so long, the terrain is naturally overcooked, but the street that she ran out of is very lively. There are many shops along the street, but Nene has already heard the sound of whistling in the distance. , but the team patrolling the city blew the whistle, which was a signal to gather people to call their companions.
Nene knew that the interrogation was coming, and she immediately got into the largest store in front of her. A guy in the store saw a customer coming in. He was about to say a few words of welcome when he saw Nene's Appearance, immediately stayed on the spot.
Nene glanced at the young shop assistant, looked at the stunned look of the other party, and couldn't help but pursed his lips into a smile. Under this smile, it was even more incredible, and the shop assistant's face suddenly flushed red.
Nene was about to say something, but she heard a respectful voice from the shop: "Madam, what you want will be delivered by tomorrow at the latest, our chamber of commerce has always abided by its reputation, and in The business in Denzel City is under the care of Mr. Char. How can we not give our hearts to what you ordered? Don't worry, tomorrow afternoon at the latest, I will personally deliver the things you want. ."
As he said that, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, obviously looking like a shop owner, walked out with his waist on his side, but made a respectful gesture towards the other guest beside him.
And that guest was also a female guest, and the clothes he was wearing were not necessarily gorgeous, but the cuts were decent. I didn't see any precious jewelry on my body, but when I walked a few steps, there was an aura of its own, obviously not an ordinary person.
This woman looks only in her twenties, not in her thirties, her appearance is only medium-to-high, her figure is somewhat plump, she is obviously a woman, and her hair is neatly combed. Listening to the shop owner, she is only Picking the corner of his mouth slightly, he said lightly: "It's not that I can't trust you, it's just that the things I want are shipped from the south, and it's sea goods. I also know that it's not easy to transport all the way. It's just that you are two days late. If No matter how late, the wedding the day after tomorrow will be delayed..."
"Yes yes yes!" The shop owner wiped off his sweat again and again, bending his waist a bit.
"But you don't have to be too nervous. No one can say for sure about shipping by sea. If there really is a problem with shipping, I'm not unreasonable, and I won't blame you. It's just... this matter, I have to ask you to worry more. He is finally getting married, and I, as a sister-in-law, always have to express my heart well. "
"Of course!" The shop owner had already sent the female guest to the door.
Nene happened to see this woman head-on, and was immediately startled.
Nei knew this woman.
Yulia, the widow of Char's dead brother, was taken care of by Char's sister-in-law and lived in Denzel City.
