Xiqiu is the capital of the Xilin Province, the fiefdom of the Tulip Family, and is also an important city with prosperous commerce in the empire—it can be said to be the headquarters of the Tulip Family!
The entire Xiqiu area was in a state of excitement when they heard about the arrival of Duke Tulip!
In this place where the Tulip Duke is almost worshiped as a god, the large group of people received an unprecedented warm welcome! The only flaw is that the Tulip Duke didn't show up much.
On the first day alone, Roddy used the appearance of the Tulip Duke to briefly meet with some representatives of local officials - his performance was not bad, at least it seemed that people could fully feel a message: the Duke's health is indeed not good!
This is also thanks to a bottle of special potion that Nicole prepared for him. Drinking this potion can make the body sweat continuously. Seeing the Duke sitting there with a pale face, his voice was low, and at the same time While sweating, everyone couldn't help but feel a little worried about this pillar of the empire.
After the interview, Roddy ran to the back and drank a lot of water - because Nicole's potion had no antidote and would naturally subside over time. He just kept sweating, but the body consumed a lot of water. , can only be solved by drinking a lot of water.
After the performance, Rody immediately took off his mask, put on the costume of the Royal Guards, and quietly left the Tulip Family's villa in Xiqiu.
All the Wolf Fang Army and Royal Guards responsible for escorting the Duke were arranged in a military camp not far from the Duke's Mansion.
This military camp has a long history. Historically, when the Tulip Dukes visited their fiefdoms, they would bring some military guards with them - as the imperial marshal who never replaced the Tulip Dukes, this was indispensable.
Rody returned to the military camp, briefly assigned the patrol orders to his officers and soldiers, explained the assignment of guarding the Duke's Mansion, and prepared to take people to the annex to meet Nicole - starting from today, Rody will officially use My true identity is close to Miss Nicole!
But he had just reached the gate of the military camp. I saw several soldiers of the Royal Guards running in with bruises and bruises, and one of them couldn't help shouting. It seemed like they were gathering help.
Rody frowned, strode over, and shouted, "What's going on!"
When the soldiers saw their commander, they immediately stood up straight. The expression of the soldier who shouted just now changed slightly.
"What's going on!" Rody stood in front of them and asked in a deep voice: "There is a lot of noise in the military camp. What are you doing! Which battalion are you from!"
The soldier began to sweat on his face, but he still shouted loudly: "The Third Battalion of the 2nd Regiment of the Royal Guards! Sir, a few of us were patrolling on the street just now. Then we entered a tavern and had a conflict with a few people. ,Then… ."
Rody looked gloomy, looked at the bruises on the man's face, and said coldly: "Then he was beaten, right?"
His expression was a little unswerving—these Royal Guards were specifically responsible for guarding the royal family. He is also used to being arrogant on weekdays. Some people have developed some bad habits. Although Rody only stayed in the Royal Guards for a short period of time, he has already fully felt this.
These people rely on themselves as the exclusive army of the royal family. Naturally, the frame is much larger than that of the average army. Although Rody is a little dissatisfied, this phenomenon is normal. The status and treatment of the royal family's army have always been higher than those of other armies, even above the Thunder God's Whip. There is nothing strange about being arrogant, as long as they are strictly managed and do not violate military discipline. , but there’s nothing too out of the ordinary.
But now that he saw this group of people leaving the imperial capital and causing trouble on their first day in Xiqiu, Rody felt a little unhappy and just wanted to take this opportunity to properly discipline these arrogant guys. The only strange thing is that in a place like Xiqiu, there are people who dare to attack the Royal Guards? !
"Inspection? The inspection only went to the tavern?!" Roddy sneered.
The soldier's expression became even more awkward. He hesitated and then whispered: "We had a conflict with a few people in a tavern... and then..."
"who?"
Several soldiers looked at each other, as if they didn't dare to say anything.
Rody sneered and said lightly: "What are you looking at! You were beaten, but you don't dare to say anything!"
"It's... it's a woman! A beautiful woman..."
"Women?!" Rody's face darkened, and he said bitterly: "Are you making a scene in the pub?"
The soldier's face changed drastically, and he immediately understood what the officer was thinking about. He immediately shook his head and shouted: "No, no! Sir! We brothers are just going to have a drink. We definitely don't dare to do that kind of teasing with women." We will never dare to do anything that violates military regulations!”
"Humph..." Rody said noncommittally, "Really?"
Several soldiers nearby also quickly defended themselves, and the bolder one among them said loudly: "Originally, we just looked at her a few more times and didn't do anything else, just..."
Rody raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "What are you hesitating about? Say it quickly!"
The soldier's body trembled, his mind suddenly became clear, and his speech became much smoother. He explained what had just happened in a few words.
These soldiers were not on duty today, and as usual, they went out to hang out in the military camp. They came all the way to Xiqiu, and finally had time to rest, not to mention coming to a big city. It was a hard journey, and these soldiers naturally wanted to have some fun. (At this point, Roddy's eyes widened, and the soldier immediately sped up. speaking speed.)
Then they found a tavern and wanted to drink some wine. There was a table of people sitting in the tavern. Two of the women were extremely beautiful. Naturally, these young soldiers couldn't help but take a few more glances.
But a beautiful woman at the table seemed to have a bad temper, and she couldn't help shouting at her. (The soldier turned a little red when he said this.) But they are the Royal Guards after all. They are not local ragtag troops, although these people are a bit arrogant. But they really didn't dare to tease women. Although they looked at people a little more unscrupulously, they just sat there drinking and didn't come forward to cause trouble. (When he said this, Roddy's face became a little calmer, and he frowned and said, "Then why do you look like this again?")
But then, things got a little strange. The beautiful woman who just scolded them. But suddenly stood up. He walked towards a few of their soldiers.
Several soldiers were also a little surprised. They just thought that the other party was also a prostitute in the tavern and wanted to have some fun, but the woman opened her mouth and asked them if they were from the Royal Guards.
These soldiers have always been proud of their status as Royal Guards, so they naturally affirmed loudly, and a few couldn't help but puff up their chests and look majestic. I just hope to attract the favor of beauties.
The beautiful woman seemed very happy at that time. He asked them if they had escorted Duke Tulip all the way to Xiqiu, and then asked them about Duke Tulip.
"Oh?" Rody frowned: "Asking about Duke Tulip?"
A soldier nodded: "Isn't it! Originally, our Lord Duke had a great reputation, and these women admired him in their hearts. It's not strange to ask, but the more she asked, the stranger it became. She always asked how the Lord Duke was doing, and seemed to ask where the Lord Duke lived. , asking about the situation in other courtyards, etc... Sir, you know that we are the army responsible for guarding the Duke. When someone asks this, we naturally become suspicious. Who knows whether this woman is a spy from the grassland or something? The Roland spies must figure it out!"
"Well, what then?"
The soldier blushed and whispered: "Then we were going to catch that woman for questioning, but that woman..."
"What's wrong?"
"Before we could take action, the woman turned around and said something to her accomplices. She seemed to be saying: If they refuse to tell, should we arrest these soldiers and ask them... Sir, you see, this kind of treason is unethical. After everything has been said, how can we still sit still? Of course..."
Rody nodded, with doubts in his eyes: "Then what? Then you started taking action?"
"Yes... Then we took action... But..." At this point, the soldiers looked at me and I looked at you. They all had expressions of shame and anger on their faces. The bruises on their faces and the embarrassment they had when they ran in and yelled just now. It was obvious at a glance who had suffered and who had taken advantage just now!
"How many of them beat you?" Rody asked in a deep voice. Although these Royal Guards are usually a bit arrogant, they are still quite strong.
"Just... just one! That beautiful girl is fighting against us alone..." The soldier hesitated.
Rody was stunned and frowned: "Only one person? A girl can beat you like this? Is she a warlock?"
"No..." The soldier lowered his head: "She is not a warlock, she seems to be a samurai... However, I didn't see her wearing a samurai uniform or carrying a weapon, so... she was empty-handed..."
Rody nodded. Although he had some doubts in his heart, he said loudly: "Okay! A group of people were beaten like this by a girl with bare hands! Take me to see! By the way, how many people are there in their group? What? What does it look like?”
"Sir, there are three of them, two women and one man. Both women are very young and beautiful. The woman who fought with us is very powerful. We were knocked down by her in just a few blows... Behind us The man was probably in his thirties, and I couldn’t see his appearance clearly... "
