Chapter 1118: Loyalty reward

The first thousand and eighteen chapters of the return of loyalty (seeking monthly ticket)
That girl was the only little maid who was guarding Hadu before he died.
Before that, there were a lot of people around Hadu, guards, doctors, servants, and hundreds of people in the whole house circled Hadu.
But when the peacekeeping force's full-line offensive started, all these people disappeared, leaving her as a teenage girl.
I was alone when I was scared. At this time, I suddenly saw all these fierce soldiers. For a moment, my face turned pale and trembling, like a lamb that had encountered a wolf. , Involuntarily hugged his arms to protect himself.
The Grand Duke glanced at her and found that although the little girl was still standing there forcibly, he could clearly hear it. Hearing the crisp sound of her teeth hitting, the whole person was shaking slightly, as if at any time Can be scared to pass out.
Grand Duke couldn't help but frowned slightly: Are we too scary? Or is this girl a bunny?
Although Grand Duke Julian has been in the army for decades, he has always claimed to be gentle and elegant. He will write two sour poems from time to time, trying to position himself as a deep and wise middle-aged uncle. Rather than a fierce old soldier.
But he didn't know that the world had long given him the title of Bloodhand Butcher, and his face was a little dark, it would scare the nobles nearby to death.
However, Grand Duke Julian always thought that his image was still very gentle, and maintained his gentle image in public.
The little yellow-haired girl in front of her was obviously frightened, no matter what the reason, but since she suddenly appeared here at this time, there was definitely a reason.
Immediately he slowed down his voice as much as possible, took out an uncle's style, and said softly and cheerfully: "Is your name Lindy? Don't be afraid. We are all good people, and no one will hurt you."
"Okay... good person..." Lindy raised her head up courageously, glanced at everyone quickly, and then hurriedly lowered her head timidly, drumming in her heart, and secretly said: good person? Do good people hold swords and run into other people's homes to scream and kill? Obviously it is a group of legendary bandits~!
But she didn't dare to refute, the group of people in front of her was too terrifying, so it's better not to offend them. The little maid's eyes rolled slightly, just echoing: "Yes, good man, good man..."
However, listening to her tone is still full of panic, obviously this is extremely unconvincing.
The Grand Duke smiled bitterly, and said to himself: It's all these soldiers who have a bad image.
Then he said: "Little girl, why are you here?"
Lindy tremblingly stretched out her hand on her nose and wiped a snot of clear water, then put her hands in her arms and squeezed her body as much as possible before she trembled: "I...I...I live here... …"
A cold light flashed in the eyes of the Grand Duke, staring at the little maid, and said solemnly: "Speak clearly."
Ordinary people are still scared to death before the grandduke's domineering aura, let alone a weak little girl.
Lindy was taken aback and couldn't help but let out an exclamation. She hugged her head tightly with her hands and shrank on the ground and shivered. "It's terrible, Lindy is so terrified."
Only then did Grand Duke realize his gaffe.
He smiled awkwardly and stroked his beard embarrassedly. Although the ears of the people next to him are erected like rabbits, they do not squint, just as if they did not see them.
Archduke Julian then continued to say softly: "Little girl, don't be afraid. I don't mean anything. Tell me now, who are you? How do you live here? Haddou...General?"
Lindy squatted on the ground, peeked out from the gap between her elbows, and found that the grand prince's expression was very gentle, and there was really no malice. Unlike the soldier behind him, carrying a sword in his hand seemed to kill at any time.
The little maid couldn't help but hesitate.
At this moment, a young officer next to him couldn't bear it. He stepped forward, leaned his hand on the hilt, and shouted sharply: "My lord is asking you something, hurry up!"
Lindy shivered again immediately, shrieked "Ah" and shrank into a ball again.
When the Grand Duke saw this, he was immediately furious: , you are a dead soldier. Laozi has worked so hard to be a good person. You have not been comforted yet, you ran over again to make trouble.
He lifted his leg and hit the officer's with a kick, sternly: "Go away."
The officer was kicked and staggered immediately, and he dashed out a dozen steps away in disarray.
Lindy looked at his embarrassed look and couldn't help being laughed for a while, ‘puuch’ laughed out loud.
Although her face is full of smoke and dust, black, white, and dirt, her hair is also unusually unkempt, as if she had just been fighting with someone and was grabbed by a dozen shrews, and her hair was still stained. A few stalks of soot.
But when she laughed, she also showed her natural beauty.
Seeing her natural innocence and some silly look, the Grand Duke couldn't help but smile, and then said: "Okay, can you tell me now?"
Lindy glanced at the Grand Duke and found that although the uncle smiled slightly, it was much better than the fierce soldiers next to him.
She cut her hair and stood up slowly.
At this moment, Lindy suddenly felt a soft sound of ‘gu’ in his stomach.
The sound was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, and the generals and soldiers could all stare at her again.
Lindy blushed involuntarily and lowered her head.
Grand Duke looked at her shy appearance, a little funny at first, but then he watched her thin body trembling in the cold wind, couldn’t help feeling a move in his heart, and looked at it carefully, then he suddenly realized why she Shaking constantly, it seems that it is not just fear, but also related to her thin clothes.
He turned to the attendant next to him and said: "Go, bring this girl a cup of hot tea."
The waiter couldn't help grinning: Where can I get hot tea at this time? The heat is everywhere.
But then there was a burst of rice fragrant with the wind.
It turned out that not far from them, a group of soldiers were preparing breakfast. They were actually fighting the fire. When the fire was out, they were busy turning over things. They were already hungry.
I saw the girl next to her sniffing her nose, then blinking her bright beautiful eyes, staring at the white rice gruel, obviously very interested.
The attendant had an idea and whispered: "My lord, I don't know about rice porridge..."
The Grand Duke immediately lifted his leg and kicked it on the attendant's ass, cursing, "Trash, do you want to ask me about this little thing?"
The attendant screamed, and then hurried out.
The Grand Duke immediately raised his hand and pointed at the officer who had just been kicked out, and made a gesture.
The officer grimaced, took off his cloak, and then put it on Lindy.
Lindy looked at the officer's reluctant expression, with a smile more ugly than crying.
Lindy rolled her eyes at him, then unceremoniously stretched out her hand, wrapped the cloak tightly around her body, and immediately jumped a few steps away, hiding far from the officer, and glaring at him. .
At this time, the attendant next to him had already brought a cup of hot porridge.
Lindy thanked him very politely, then took it, took a sip, and couldn't help but groan comfortably.
On this cold early winter morning, the hot rice porridge slid down the mouth, passed the throat, and fell into the abdomen. Dispelled the chill from the body. This feeling is almost comfortable to the bones.
Lindy held the rice porridge tightly with both hands, letting the temperature of the cup pass to her frozen hands, and then sipped the cup of hot porridge with a small sip.
Grand Duke looked at her and smiled slightly. Said: "What? Are you hungry?"
Lindy listened to his question and hurriedly reached out and wiped the corners of her mouth, then said: "Yes, this... this adult. I haven't eaten since yesterday afternoon. I hid in this maple forest again, It was messy outside, and many people ran around and hid for a whole night without daring to come out."
The public could not help but stunned. This is the weather that is going to freeze to death. She is a little girl, dressed so thinly, hiding in this maple forest all night?
How could they know that this little maid was alone, and although she ran out of it, she had nowhere to go. Moreover, it was panic outside, and it was too scary.
There were soldiers in Hadu's mansion all night. They could only stay in the woods for one night and find a shelter from the wind to squat until dawn.
Seeing that although the little girl was not elegant, she still gobbled up the porridge, the Grand Duke became more and more compassionate: the men started the war, but the women and children were always victims.
After she finished the porridge, the Grand Duke asked, "Yes, Lindy. You stayed here all night, so when this building was on fire, you were there? Where is General Hardu? You saw him go Where is it?"
Lindy's eyes dimmed for a while, then she lowered her head, and replied in a low voice, "General...The general is dead."
The Grand Duke couldn't help but lost his voice: "It's dead... is it really dead?"
Lindy sniffed, wiped her tears, and said sadly: "Yes, at that time... At that time, when I heard the shouts of killing coming closer and closer, I couldn't worry about the general, and then went inside.
At that time, the general was lying on the bed, and he asked me to set the small building on fire. He said that even if he died, he would definitely not fall into the hands of Ruman dog thief. "
Speaking of the words ‘Ruman Dog Thief’, the voice couldn’t help but aroused.
The group of generals Ruman next to them were suddenly unhappy, Qi Qi coldly snorted.
But the Grand Duke laughed a little, and said: "Ruman dog thief? That's a good word, did Hardu start it? What happened later?"
"Later..." Lindy sighed softly and said, "Later, the general said, I am free. Let me go. I ran out, but I was scared again when I heard the sound of fighting outside.
And I had nowhere to go. The house was all burned. There was no other way but to stay in the maple forest all night.
As a result, today, I heard that there seems to be no war outside. Just when I wanted to come out and take a look, I was discovered by you. "
The Grand Duke looked at the poor little maid and couldn't help being silent for a while.
He has always had some admiration for Hardu.
Although that person had led a large army and invaded the empire, the empire suffered heavy losses. But it is still a hero.
Even now, he led the army to come in, but he still felt that Hadu was a good guy. A worthy opponent.
Leading the Southern Army to fight until the last moment of his life, even if he died, he died on his throne.
Rather than taking his wife and children, he flees in a hurry. Such a person can be regarded as a person who dares to act.
Even if Hadu and the Demon Lich were in collusion, Archduke Julian did not feel much ill feeling. His two enemies would unite, which was not unexpected.
But at this time, I heard the story of this little maid. He couldn't help feeling contempt for Hadu, and almost spurned it.
What kind of person is this?
Actually treated that loyal subordinate so coldly and mercilessly.
You know, this stupid little girl will never leave, staying with him until the last moment, even his son has betrayed him.
And the dog didn't even take care of it at all, and he drove her out.
This panic, for a lonely girl, no matter what kind of terrible things can happen.
That scumbag~!
I really thought I grew up with two small jj, as long as I shouted slogans, said beautiful things, and dissipated his arrogance, others would have to give him food, drink, money, effort, and work for him?
213 one~!
Deserve it~!
Really deserve it~!
No wonder, when he died, there was not even a person.
Such a selfish, ruthless dog thing.
How can you expect others to treat him in return for their loyalty?
Don't say it was defeated, even on the streets of death, no one cares~!
Such a character should be compared with himself, which is simply a shame.
Archduke Julian always believed that as a general who decided countless lives and deaths in one word, the loss of defeat is not terrible, but he must be worthy of following his men loyally.
The more he thought about it, the more he hated him, his face became more ugly. But then I found that the scared face of the little maid on the opposite side gradually turned pale, and then realized that it was wrong.
He took a deep breath, suppressed his resentment, and then said: "Lindy. You said, you set the fire and burned the small building, right?"
Lindy was taken aback, then nodded, and said, "Yes."
But then she hurriedly added: "At that time, the General asked me to let it go. If I don't let it go, he will order the house himself. It has nothing to do with me. I am just obedient.
I can swear to the God of Guangming, you... don't catch me. "
The Grand Duke smiled bitterly, and then said: "Don't worry, we won't arrest you. However, you also have to tell me, since the general is dead, which one is his corpse."
The Grand Duke paused and added: "We found two bodies in the ruins of the small building."
Lindy hesitated for a moment, and then answered honestly: "The man on the middle bed is the general, and the man in the outhouse is the old man. When I went, he was... already dead. I don't know who was killed. Killed."
The Grand Duke turned his head and looked at an officer next to him.
The officer hurried forward, attached to the ear of the grand prince, and whispered a few words.
The Grand Duke couldn't help but nodded slightly: The details are correct, it can be seen that the little girl was indeed present at the time. But this does not fully prove that it was Hardu who died.
He thought about it, and then said: "Does the general have any characteristics?"
"Features..." Lindy turned her head and thought for a while, then her eyes lit up and said, "By the way, the general is a little deaf."
Everyone at the scene looked at each other, and they were all a little dumbfounded. The man was burnt with almost only bones left. Who knows whether he is deaf or not?
The Grand Duke smiled bitterly, and said, "Anything else besides this?"
Lindy shook her head and said, "In addition to this... he also has a ring in his hand. Does this count?"
The Grand Duke winked at the attendant next to him.
The attendant turned and left without saying a word. After a while, he returned with a smoky ring and handed it to the Grand Duke.
Grand Duke held it in his hand, looked down at it twice, and then passed it on.
The aristocratic generals of the Southern Army took the ring in their hands, and they all recognized it very carefully.
It is understandable that they are more concerned about Hadu's life and death than the Duke.
In case Hadu did not die, but escaped. In the future, his primary target of revenge is not the Duke. And they are definitely betrayers.
They have lived in the shadow of Hardu for decades, and they have formed a terrible inertia. Even thinking of the military strongman, they would tremble with fear.
Hardu's almost omnipotent image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Only when it is confirmed that Hardu is really dead, and knowing that the guy will not appear to trouble them suddenly, can they sleep peacefully.
They gathered together, checked carefully, and discussed a few words in a low voice. Finally, General Rasauer came forward and returned the ring to the Grand Duke, and then whispered: "That is indeed Hardu's. Ring."
The tone was relieved, relaxed and somewhat exhausted.
That ring is not only a piece of jewelry, but also the personal seal of General Hadu. Always carry it close to your body. All important documents, such as the appointment and dismissal of officials, the transfer of the Corps... etc., can only take effect after the ring is stamped.
It is now in his own hands, which means that Hardu is really dead.
People like myself no longer have to worry that he will jump out of a dark corner and avenge himself.
The Grand Duke held the ring in his hand, then raised it high, and shouted: "Here, I announce that Hadu is dead. Our peacekeeping coalition forces successfully completed the peacekeeping mission. Boys, we are victorious~!
We can go home~! "
As his voice fell, the officers and men nearby raised their weapons and cheered loudly.
"Long live~!"
"We won~!"
"We are going home~!"
"..."
As their cheers spread ~EbookFREE.me~ all the officers and soldiers shouted and cheered.
The voices gathered together, resounding through the world like a raging tide of rivers and seas. Then quickly passed it to the distance.
The Grand Duke casually threw it to the attendants around him, and said calmly: "Take it away, and put it back in my loot room."
He turned his head, looked at Lindy, and said, "Girl, what are you going to do in the future?"
Lindy had a confused look in her eyes, and said, "I...I don't know."
The prince smiled and said, "Why... go to our house and work for me? Give you a salary on time."
Lindy was taken aback and wanted to refuse, but was surprised to hear her mechanical voice sounded: "Okay, sir."
Maybe it's because that cup of hot porridge is too warm. Lindy thought finally.
