I'm really not an NPC

Chapter 435 Is this Dugu Li familiar?

441 chapter

Once the battle was won, the earl's army fell apart, and naturally he was not qualified to fight with himself.

At that time, it was time to deal with the earl.

How to deal with this old rival?

The city lord thought about many answers.

Killing is definitely not killing.

After all, a long-established aristocrat.

That would be nothing but humiliation.

There has to be a level of humiliation too.

Don't be too presumptuous, otherwise this is challenging the aristocratic system.

The method should not be too light, otherwise the earl would not be hit.

How about this, first pull out the pawns he arranged in the city.

Then eat the count's troops.

He was left with a group of old, weak, sick and disabled.

In addition, compensation cannot be taken lightly.

At least four-fifths of the earl's property must be swallowed up.

How about leaving him a fifth for retirement?
Maybe it's not enough. Is it enough to leave a tenth?

Thinking about it, the city lord couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

But when he thought of his daughter, the smile on his lips disappeared.

"Alas! Poor Vivian! For the sake of your father and the sake of your family, just sacrifice yourself!"

Lord James sighed with emotion.

He expressed deep sympathy for his daughter's plight.

But it's just sympathy.

In the face of righteousness, family affection is nothing.

……

Just as he was thinking, there was a loud knock on the door.

"Lord City Lord! I have something urgent to report!"

The butler's voice came from outside the door.

Lord James frowned: "What can happen early in the morning? The wedding is also held in the afternoon?"

He opened the door and walked out.

The housekeeper knelt down on one knee and said with fear: "To inform you, Lord of the City, our uncle, Master Hall, was beaten in the izakaya..."

"Slapped? Hall?"

The city lord thought he had heard wrong.

But the butler repeated it again and gave a general description of what happened.

When the city lord heard this, his face became a little ugly.

Is there really such a person who dares to beat Hall?

"Where is Hall now?"

"In the nursing home of the Church of Light!"

"Prepare the carriage! Take me there!"

"Yes!"

……

The Guangming Church is a church organized by the pastors of Guangming.

The church does not belong to any kingdom.

They belong to the private sector, but because of the large number of light believers, they have penetrated into various countries.

Nowadays, almost any developed city has a stronghold of the Church of Light.

The reason why the Church of Light is so popular is that every city they visit opens a Bright Sanatorium.

Light magic has a magical effect on healing.

Therefore, nursing homes are very popular.

Lord James came to a special ward in the Guangming Sanatorium. Before seeing Hall, the first thing he saw was his father, Lord Nighthawk.

The Lord of Nighthawk stood at the door with a serious face.

"James, here you come."

"Murphy, how is your son-in-law?"

Lord James said with concern.

Although in his heart he had identified Hall as a piece of shit.

But he still called it very kindly.

"The situation is not very good! The injury is serious! The pastor said that although the bleeding has stopped now, it will take a while to recover!"

City Lord Nightingale's face was icy cold.

Seeing his expression, James felt a little uncomfortable.

Your son was beaten for his own trouble. What's the use of showing such a face to me?

However, he still blamed himself and said: "My son-in-law was injured in my territory, I will never escape responsibility, I hope Brother Murphy can forgive me once..."

"No! This matter has nothing to do with you. I am my son and I am incompetent."

City Master Nightingale showed a trace of anger: "It's just that the murderer is too ruthless! I..."

Crunch!

At this time, the door opened and the chief pastor of the Bright Church came out: "You two, the patient is awake now. You can go in and visit him."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Pastor."

The two thanked each other and entered the ward.

On the hospital bed, Hall was bandaged all over his body, looking like a mummy.

The Lord of Nightingale City said angrily: "When we found him, he had at least seven or eight arrow holes in his body! I just want to know, how cruel is this murderer to do such a thing?"

Lord Jaime's heart moved slightly upon hearing this.

Shot seven or eight arrows?
Then this murderer is a bit ruthless!

But Hall is still alive after being hit by so many arrows?What a fate!
But it’s good that he’s not dead, so he can still get married.

In order to express his anger, Lord James deliberately distorted his face: "My son-in-law! Tell me! Who is the murderer!"

On the hospital bed, Hall's eyes were wide open, and he roared with a ferocious face: "It's a guy named Dugu Li! That guy is sneaky! He only knows how to attack me with a bow and arrow! Besides! He also has a relationship with Edward and Donald. A bastard came very close!"

Hall roared, touching the wound, excruciating pain, sweating profusely.

But there is no doubt that after each injury, the hatred in his eyes became stronger!

"Edward? Donald? Isn't this the queen of those nobles?"

Lord Jaime's heart trembled.

He didn't expect things to be a little tricky.

He is not afraid of these nobles, but the problem is that there are many nobles, and it is not good to take their sons with a knife, right?

"My son-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter, and now I will send someone to arrest the murderer!"

Lord James made a promise that he would only target the murderer and not include Edward and others for the time being.

City Master Nightingale nodded, "Then I will trouble you, James!"

……

Later, Lord James arranged for the soldiers to send the intelligence from last night.

Outside the ward, after reading the detailed description, he fully understood the cause and effect.

It turned out that Hall was looking for something again.

This guy beat up those three dudes by himself.

The three dandy friends acted righteously and injured Hall.

However, Lord James was still a little annoyed.

You guys are fighting, so why are you using weapons?

According to the description, then Dugu Li seemed to be planning to do something ruthless?
"No! It's just fighting, do you have such deep resentment? And that Dugu Li seems to be a master of archery! A young master of archery, is there such a person in Black Wolf City?"

City Lord James shook his head subconsciously.

He began to doubt Dugu Li.

City Lord Nighthawk asked: "How, do you know who it is?"

Lord James shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, there really isn't a single person named Dugu Li in Black Wolf City..."

"No? It's unreasonable, my son and the witnesses said so. That guy is a good archer, and his appearance..."

City Master Nightingale was talking when a soldier came with a portrait.

The man in the portrait is Dugu Li.

Lord James took a look and was even more confused.

This person is by no means a queen of any nobleman.

Lord James can understand it very clearly!

So, where did this Dugu Li who appeared out of nowhere come from?

Then, Jaime's spies brought some news.

City Lord James has known about it and probably understands why Dugu Li knows three dudes.

Were they doing business together?

But the business convoy seems to come from outside the city?

It is not difficult to investigate such a huge convoy.

Only half an hour later, the intelligence appeared again.
