Rody's expression changed slightly, he glanced at the servant, took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "Where is your master? Is he on that carriage?"
The servant looked solemn and nodded respectfully.
Rody sighed, slowly dismounted, followed the servant to the carriage, calmed down, gritted his teeth, opened the door and got into the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious. A young woman was sitting on the soft fur, wearing a long white silk dress. Her eyebrows were as hazy as distant mountains, and a pair of eyes like cold stars were looking at Rody. , his face seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Rody immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile: "It turns out to be you! Miss Miu Ge, you really shocked me."
Miu Ge smiled lightly, her tone was still so cold, but there was a bit of enthusiasm in her voice. She said slowly: "The Duke has made great achievements in the northwest, and I am afraid he has forgotten the previous agreement."
Rody was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had promised to see her when she came back. His face turned slightly red, and he said with a wry smile: "I just came back a few days ago, and I'm too busy these days, so I didn't see you."
Miu Ge smiled faintly: "The Duke just went to the cave a few days ago, and he didn't see me either."
Rody's face turned red and he whispered: "There were others around me that day, and I met people from the Big Moon Kingdom, so it was inconvenient to see you."
Miu Ge nodded and smiled: "Okay, I don't blame you. It's just that you have been back for so many days, and I feel a little worried, so I came to see you. I'm afraid you have forgotten me as a friend. "
Rody sighed and smiled: "Of course not. You are my friend, and I will naturally never forget you." After a pause, he added: "How are you doing these days?"
Miu Ge looked a little gloomy and said slowly: "Bayan has looked for me several times, but he has always been stopped. You are far in the northwest, and he is getting bolder and bolder."
Rody frowned and said, "Bayan? Doesn't he know that you are... your relationship with Seth?"
Miu Ge smiled and said: "Don't forget, you are Seth now. It's just that you are far in the northwest, so he is naturally more unrestrained than before."
Rody frowned and said nothing, while Miu Ge smiled: "I came to see you today not because I wanted to tell you this. It's just that I don't have many friends in the imperial capital. I knew you were coming back, so I came to see you."
Rody also smiled and said: "That's fine. I don't have anything to do today anyway. I remember that the wine you have there is very good, and you can't easily drink it. I just want to taste it today."
Miu Ge also smiled and said: "Okay, you didn't abide by the agreement to see me when you came back, but you wanted to take advantage of me." He smiled, ordered his men to set up the carriage and headed towards the cave. Roddy's horse naturally had a servant tie the rope behind the carriage to follow.
The two of them talked and laughed along the way, and Rody felt relaxed. He was tired of being this fake duke and having to disguise himself all the time in the imperial capital. Only when I go home every day and face Nicole can I relax a little. Seeing Miao Ge now, I feel very happy. Anyway, the other party knows his true identity, so there is no need to pretend in his speech and behavior, and he feels extremely relaxed.
When they arrived at the cave, Ms. Shafei saw the Duke coming back with Miu Ge. She had a smile on her face, but she was secretly frightened in her heart. She thought that the Duke would cause trouble every time he came. Just a few days ago, There was a big fight here and many customers were scared away. It would be best not to cause any trouble again today.
Rody ignored her and followed Miao Ge directly into the room. Miao Ge smiled and took out a good wine. The two chatted and laughed, talking about the customs and customs of the northwest. Rody was most relaxed in front of Miao Ge.
Although I had been chatting freely with Nicole at home before, I didn't know why, but I didn't mention a word about the encounter with Black Veil Saint Miaosi in front of Nicole. I just feel that the feelings between me and Miao Si are extremely subtle. When facing a couple who are deeply in love, I subconsciously hide these things.
But it was different in front of Miao Ge. When he first met Miao Ge, he had some reverie in his heart, but after his experience in the northwest and the ups and downs, that reverie had already faded a lot. The other party knew his true identity, and he felt a little closer to him. Unconsciously, I poured out all my experiences in the northwest.
When Miao Ge heard the danger, her color changed slightly. However, she was cold by nature, but she was not like Nicole Jojo who would turn pale and exclaim.
Rody's face turned red, and he slowly told what happened when he met Miaosi. Miao Ge just smiled and said nothing, listening to him calmly. Speaking of the two people leaving sadly outside Watt City, seeing Rody's gloomy expression, Miao Ge felt touched in his heart and comforted him: "The black gauze saint is right, you have a different status now. The overall situation always comes first. ”
Rody smiled bitterly: "I don't want to be this Duke for a long time. I just hope that Nicole can get Seth back soon."
Miu Ge's face turned gloomy, he sighed and said nothing.
The two were silent for a while, and Miao Ge smiled again and said: "I have learned a song recently, but I haven't learned it all yet. When you come next time, I will sing it to you."
Rody smiled and said: "Okay! You dance so well, you must also sing well."
Miu Ge sighed: "I just don't know when you will come to see me next time." She looked a little lonely when she said this, and she slowly said: "I don't have many friends here. I just spend every day with myself. Locked up in the room. After Seth left, no one saw me. It's funny, I don't have many friends in the imperial capital, the only one I can count is you."
Rody raised his eyebrows and said: "It's enough to have a confidant in this world! Miss Miu Ge, after all, I, Rody, am just an ordinary boy. But I admire you as a person and admire your Encounter, I have long regarded you as my friend Roddy."
Miu Ge smiled again, held up the wine glass, and said: "You are the only man who has ever met me who treats me as a friend instead of a prey!"
Rody drank the wine in one sip and smiled: "I feel very ashamed to say these words. When I first met you, I was in a state of anxiety for a long time."
When the two of them smiled, they both felt that there was no barrier in their hearts. They just felt that they were happy to have such a good friend in this imperial capital where the undercurrent was surging.
Seeing the sun going down, Rody was already half drunk and stood up to say goodbye. Miao Ge was not polite and sent him out with a faint smile. However, he saw several guards under Rody waiting outside the door.
It turned out that although Lant and others were separated by Rody, they followed them from a distance. When Rody got on Miao Ge's carriage and came to the cave, Lant and others just smiled at each other, thinking that although the young master had become a duke now, his temperament was still the same as before.
He helped Rody mount his horse, and seeing the Duke's happy face, the depression of negotiating with the people of the Big Moon Kingdom these past few days was gone. Although the guard secretly smiled in his heart, his face still looked solemn.
Along the way, everyone rode slowly towards the Duke's Palace.
Roddy was blown by the cold wind and gradually calmed down. He saw the pedestrians around him pointing at him from a distance, their faces full of respect. Some pedestrians even stopped to salute him.
Rody was moved in his heart. Thinking of his mood in Victory Square today, he was moved in his heart.
Pity these civilians, who think that as long as Tulip is around, the empire will be stable and worry-free. But how effective can a tulip flag be
Rody was sighing, and suddenly his heart tightened, and he felt a faint warning sign. In his ears, he heard Lant suddenly growl and hit him hard. Roddy was immediately knocked off his horse. Hearing the sound of "swish" breaking through the air, Lant groaned and fell off the horse. A sharp arrow with a wolf fang was already inserted in his left arm! The arrow was so powerful that it actually shot through one of Lant's left arms!
Several guards shouted and immediately surrounded Rody. They all drew their swords and looked around.
Pedestrians on the street were also in chaos, but his guards stood firmly beside Rody and did not let anyone get close.
Rody got up from the ground and saw a figure carrying a long bow on a house in the distance and disappeared in a flash.
"Okay! He's run away!" Rody shouted in a deep voice and checked Lant's injuries. Lant was extremely tough. Although his arms were bleeding profusely and his face was pale, he didn't even make a sound.
Everyone got on their horses again, with the guards protecting Rody in the middle, and quickened their pace towards the Duke's Palace.
After running all the way home and sending Lant down for treatment, Nicole was extremely nervous when she learned that Roddy was assassinated on the road.
After everyone retreated, Roddy took Nicole's hand and said gently: "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Nicole's face calmed down a little, and she whispered: "Have you seen who it is? Who in the imperial capital would assassinate you? Is it someone from the Lionheart family? Or someone from the Big Moon Kingdom?" After a pause, Nicole But he frowned and said, "Normally speaking, he won't do it. Old Caroline is extremely cunning. Besides, although he doesn't get along with us now, he hasn't reached the point of breaking up with us. People in the Big Moon Kingdom won't do such a thing. After all, now Peace talks underway."
Roddy thought for a moment and his eyes lit up: "I know who he is." He took a breath and said: "Do you know a person named Dak? He seems to have been your father's subordinate. This time I met him in the northwest, and he seemed to have some grudge against the Tulip family. But I also asked Zig and the others, but they didn't know this guy... Do you know this guy?"
