Chapter 101: 【Assassination】

Chapter One Hundred and One.
Roddy's face changed slightly, he glanced at the servant, took a breath, and said solemnly, "Where is your master? Is it on the carriage?"
The servant looked solemn and nodded respectfully.
Roddy sighed, slowly dismounted and followed the servant to the carriage, settled, gritted his teeth and pulled the door and got into the carriage.
The carriage was very spacious. A young woman was sitting on top of soft fur, wearing a white silk dress, with two curving eyebrows as hazy as distant mountains, and a pair of cold star-like eyes looking at Roddy. , His face seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief immediately and smiled bitterly: "So it was you! Miss Miao Ge, you shocked me."
Miao Ge smiled lightly, his tone still so indifferent, but there was a bit of eagerness in her voice, only to listen to her slowly saying: "The Lord Duke has made great contributions in the northwest, I am afraid that the previous agreement will be forgotten."
Roddy was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he had promised to see her when she came back, his face flushed slightly, and he smiled bitterly: "I just came back for a few days, and these days are too busy, so I didn't go to see you."
Miao Ge smiled faintly: "The Lord Duke just went to the Ecstasy Cave a few days ago and didn't see me."
Roddy's face blushed, and he whispered: "There were others beside him that day, and I met people from the Great Moon Kingdom, so it is not convenient to see you."
Miao Ge nodded and smiled: "Okay, I don't blame you. It's just that you have been back for so many days, and I am a little worried, so I came to see you. I'm afraid you have forgotten my friend now. "
Roddy sighed and smiled: "Of course it won't. You are my friend, I will not forget." After a pause, he said: "How are you doing these days?"
Miao Ge's expression was a little bleak, and he slowly said, "Bayan has looked for me several times, but he has been stopped. You are far in the northwest, and his courage is getting bigger and bigger."
Roddy frowned and said, "Bayan? Didn't he know that you are... your relationship with Sete?"
Miao Ge smiled and said, "Don't forget, now you are Set. It's just that you are far in the northwest, so he is naturally more presumptuous than before."
Roddy frowned and did not speak, Miao Ge smiled: "I came to see you today, and I didn't want to tell you this. It's just that I am in the imperial capital, and I don't actually have any friends. I knew you were back, so I came to see you."
Roddy also smiled and said, "That's fine. I don't have anything to do today anyway. I remember that the wine you have is a good thing, you can't drink it easily, so I just went to taste it today."
Miao Ge also smiled and said, "Well, you didn't follow the agreement to see me when you came back, but you wanted to get me cheap." He smiled and ordered his men to move the carriage and head towards the ecstasy cave. Roddy's horse naturally had a servant tied the rope behind the carriage to follow.
The two talked and laughed along the way, and Roddy felt relaxed. When he was the counterfeit duke, he had to pretend to be himself in the imperial capital, and he was tired of it. Only after going home every day can I relax with Nicole a little bit. Seeing Miao Ge at this moment is also very happy in my heart. Anyway, the other party knows his true identity, so there is no need to pretend in his words and behavior, and his heart is extremely relaxed.
After arriving at the Ecstasy Cavern, Ms. Shafei saw the Lord Duke and Miao Ge come back together with a smile on her face, but she was secretly shocked in her heart, thinking that every time the Lord Duke came, something would happen. There was a big fight here, which scared many guests away, so don't make any trouble today.
Roddy ignored her and directly followed Miao Ge to the room. Miao Ge smiled and took out a good drink. The two talked and laughed, and talked about the customs of the Northwest. Roddy is most relaxed in front of Miao Ge.
Although I had a conversation with Nicole at home before, I don't know why, but I didn't mention a word about the encounter with the black yarn saint Mousse. I only feel that the feelings that I and Miao Si only see are extremely delicate, and when facing the lover, these things are hidden subconsciously.
But it was different in front of Miao Ge. When he first met Miao Ge, he had a bit of reverie in his mind, but after experiencing the northwest, through wind and rain, that reverie had already faded a lot. The other party knows his own details, and feels a little closer in his heart. Before I knew it, I confided all the Northwestern experience.
When Miao Ge heard the shock, she also changed her color slightly, but she was cold by nature, but she was not ashamed and exclaimed like Nicole Jojo.
Roddy's face was reddened, and he slowly said about Miaosi's encounter. Miao Ge just smiled and listened to him calmly. Speaking of the two people leaving outside Watt city sadly, seeing Roddy's face gloomy, if touched in Miao Ge's heart, he comforted him and said: "That black veiled saint is right, you are in a different status now. The overall situation is always important. ."
Roddy smiled bitterly: "I didn't want to be this duke for a long time. I just hope that Ni may get Set back soon."
Miao Ge's face was sad, and he sighed without speaking.
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 for you."
Roddy smiled and said, "Okay! You dance so well, and you must sing well."
Miao Ge sighed: "I just don't know when you will come to see me next time." She looked a little lonely here, she slowly said: "I am here, I don't have many friends. Locked in the room. No one sees me after Seth left. It's ridiculous to say that I don't have any friends in the imperial capital. The only thing that can be considered good is you."
Roddy raised his eyebrows and said: "In life, it is enough to have a confidant! Miss Miao Ge, I Roddy in the final analysis is just an ordinary kid. But I admire your personality and sigh for yours. Encounter, long ago considered you to be my friend to Roddy."
Miao Ge smiled again, held up the wine glass, and said, "You are the only man who has seen me as a friend, not a prey!"
Roddy took a sip of the wine and smiled: "These words are also very ashamed. When I first saw you, I also had a lot of trouble in my heart for a long time."
When the two smiled, they both felt that there was no barrier in their hearts. They only felt that the imperial capital that was surging in this undercurrent was only for use. It was all comfort to have such a good friend.
Seeing that the sun went down, Roddy was already three-point drunk and got up to leave. Miao Ge was not welcome, and sent him out with a faint smile. But he saw several guards under Roddy had been waiting outside the door.
It turned out that although Rand and the others were distracted by Roddy, they have been far behind. When Roddy got on Miaoge's carriage and came to the Ecstasy Cavern, Landt and the others just met and smiled, thinking that although the young master is now a duke, his temperament is still the same as before.
He helped Roddy on the horse, seeing that Lord Duke looked happy, and the depression of negotiating with the people of the Great Moon Kingdom over the past few days was wiped out. Although the guard smiled secretly in his heart, his face was still solemn.
Along the way, everyone rode slowly towards the Ducal Palace.
Roddy was blown by the cold wind, and his heart gradually calmed down. Seeing the pedestrians around him pointing and pointing at him from a distance, they were full of admiration. Some pedestrians stopped and saluted him.
Roddy was moved, thinking of the mood when he was in Victory Square today, and moved in his heart.
Pity these civilians, thinking that as long as the empire has tulips, it will be stable and worry-free. But how useful is a tulip banner?
Roddy was sighing, suddenly his heart tightened, and he felt a little warning sign. I heard Rand suddenly growl in his ears and slammed into him severely. Roddy was knocked off the horse immediately. Hearing the sound of "swish", Rand fell off his horse with a snorted sound, and a sharp arrow with sharp teeth was inserted in his left arm! The arrow was so powerful that it shot through one of Rand's left arm!
Several guards yelled, and immediately surrounded Roddy in groups, drew out their swords, and looked around.
The pedestrians on the street were also in chaos, but the guards guarded Roddy firmly, not allowing anyone to approach.
Roddy got up from the ground and saw from a distance above a house in the distance. A figure with a longbow disappeared in a flash.
"Okay! The man has run away!" Roddy snorted in a deep voice and checked Rand's injury. Rand was extremely hard, although the blood on his arm was bleed and his face was pale, he didn't even hum.
Everyone mounted their horses again, and the guards guarded Roddy in the middle, speeding up the pace toward the Ducal Palace.
Flew home all the way to send Rand down to heal his wounds. Nicole was also very nervous when he learned that Roddy was assassinated on the road.
When everyone retreated, Roddy took Nicole's hand and said softly, "Don't worry, I'm fine!"
Nicole's complexion was slightly calm, and she whispered: "Did you see who it is? In the imperial capital, who will assassinate you? Is it from the Lionheart family? Or is it from the Great Moon Kingdom?" After a pause, Ni But frowned and said: "It stands to reason not. Old Caroline is extremely cunning, and although he is not in harmony with us now, he is not to the point of tearing his face. People in the Great Moon Kingdom would not do such things, after all, now In peace talks."
Roddy thought for a while, and his eyes lit up: "I know who it is." He took a breath and said, "Do you know a man named Duck? He seems to have belonged to your father once. This time. I met him in the northwest. He seems to have some hatred with the Tulip family. But I also asked Zieg about them, they don’t know this Duck...Do you know this person?"
