Northland Office Supervision Bureau.

Several men sat around a rectangular table in various poses.

"If you don't avenge this revenge, you won't be able to let go of your anger."

"Alva, have you done what you were asked to do?"

The man named Alva nodded: "The people have been found, and they will lie in ambush on the road they must pass."

"This matter must be kept absolutely confidential. Except for the four of us, no one else can be told."

"Don't worry, my lord," Alva said, "except for one of my direct subordinates who pointed out the person, everyone else is a vicious person found from a remote village. They will take money to do things without asking the employer, and they will never touch us. here."

"As long as you know it in your heart." The man who spoke at the beginning said.

"Master Bowen was arrested and imprisoned, and he has been implicated in a lot of ways. The chain of contacts in the south has also been broken. That lord has played well." A man in red said.

The man in the main seat with a short mustache in a black dress also smiled, he licked his lips, with a gloomy expression on his face: "The one who won't let us have a good time, cut off our money, absolutely Don’t blame us for being unkind.”

The only one sitting in the corner was the short-haired, short-haired man who was a little timid: "Is this really going to go wrong? After all... After all, that is the Earl..." His chubby cheeks were covered with a smile. The thick cheek flesh looks a little funny and comical.

The man in red sneered: "Bagur, look at you, what can you do? No wonder you are still a small adjutant of the Food and Grass Department after working for so many years."

The man named Bagur thought to himself, even so, don't you still need my handprint and seal?But he squirmed his lips, but he didn't say it after all.

Besides, Martin and his party, taking advantage of the bright sky and their horses riding vigorously, quickly followed the main road to the nearest town, Wagang City.

The castle is located in a remote forest area, and no one has visited the city yet.

Wagang City is a famous lumber city in the north. The largest lumber factory in the empire is built here, and tens of thousands of people are doing lumber-related jobs.

On the side of the road, there are iron shops, preserved fruit shops, fruit shops, and fresh fish shops. It is a relatively large commercial center in the Northland.

Martin and the others left the horses at the post station, and His Royal Highness Bremen finally had the opportunity to get off the narrow saddle and straighten the sultry clothes and fur hat.

Antoine was in charge of negotiating with the people at the post station, and Breman glanced in Martin's direction, thinking that he would go back in the afternoon, so it's better for the two to separate, lest he can't hide his emotions and be seen.

He told Rhodes to pass it on. After listening to Rhodes' speech, Martin glanced over and nodded.

So they separated.

Martin and the others hired a carriage, wandered along the road, and sent people down to buy a lot of food and entertainment.

Tamu.

Martin looked at the educational toy in Xiao Sheng's hand, and said, "I also have a toy like this, and I've been carrying it since I was a child."

Xiao Sheng smiled, and fiddled with the mechanism of the building blocks with his fingers: "I also made something like this when I was young."

"Did you do it yourself?" Martin asked.

"As I told you, my father is the most famous carpenter in the village. Anyone who needs to make furniture or small wooden objects will come to him."

"Oh, a family of carpenters." Martin suddenly realized.

"It's a bit too much to say that the family is old," Xiao Sheng said, "The craftsmanship was passed down from my grandfather's generation, but I didn't do this anymore."

Xiao Sheng naturally didn't do this business again, and the two looked at each other, everything was self-evident.

Martin's green eyes were soft, he looked at him seriously, and suddenly smiled: "You can do it for me in the future."

Emphasis is placed on "I".

There was a kind of gentleness in these words, but also a masculine possessiveness, Xiao Sheng's ears turned red: "But sir, why do you need wooden utensils..."

"I said need is need," Martin put up a pale index finger, and gently pressed it against Xiao Sheng's thin lips, with a gentle tone, "Can't you use it for fun?"

"Okay..." Xiao Sheng lowered his head, his light-colored thin lips moved slightly, and said softly, "It's just as long as you are happy."

The man's black eyes were filled with bright broken stars, and he just smiled.Really good color.

Martin couldn't help but leaned closer and kissed her thin lips lightly.

Just as they were in love, the carriage shook suddenly, and the two of them were startled.Martin put half his arms around Xiao Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "What's going on outside?"

The coachman replied: "My lord, the monkeys from the circus in front ran away and are chasing them all over the street. Things are scattered all over the ground, and there are too many people, so we can't leave for the time being."

What is this, Martin laughed angrily.

The carriage was blocked and unable to go, Martin said, "Why don't we come down and take a stroll."

Xiao Sheng nodded, and the two got out of the carriage.

After Xiao Sheng paid the money to the coachman, the coachman raised his whip, turned the horse's head and left.

There was indeed some confusion ahead, many people were picking up things on the ground, and the voices of cursing were also mixed in.

Martin and the others didn't get involved, but chose another road, took a detour in a detour, walked for a while, and somehow came to a small alley.

The small alleys are full of stone masonry walls, which seem to be more like residential houses in the Northland. The alleys get narrower and narrower, and finally go around behind a building, and there is an empty field ridge and a small dirt road in front of you.

The Earl was a little shocked.

"Oh my God, Xiao Sheng, we may have lost our way."

He was rarely childishly amazed, not as if he was frowning, but more as if he was a little surprised by this situation.

Xiao Sheng: "..."

Back on the road, sir, we're saved.

The Earl suddenly became interested, and strolled along the ridge of the field, admiring the semi-rural scenery.

This area is near the edge of Wagang City. Many villagers live here. There is no need for farming in winter, and there are no people in the field. There is only an old farmer with a hoe walking slowly along the wall.

The old farmer was a little surprised when he saw them, and looked away after a while.

After a while, when he got closer, the old man stared at them again.

Xiao Sheng became a little vigilant, afraid that he would meet someone with malicious intentions in this remote place. Robbery would be fine, but if he killed him, it would be very dangerous.

He silently walked to Martin's left side, separated between the two, and secretly grabbed Martin's sleeve with one hand.

Fortunately, the old farmer was just a little curious, and soon passed by them.

Xiao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when he pulled up Martin and was about to leave this remote place quickly, a voice suddenly came from behind:

"—Odin? Is it Odin?"

The two looked back in amazement, and saw the wrinkled face of the old man carrying the hoe slowly showing a pleasant smile.

Martin was a little suspicious, and stared at the person in front of him for a while, but still didn't recognize who it was: "You are?"

"I'm Uncle Carter. Have you forgotten? You slept in my house when you were a child." The old man happily walked up to him, looked him up and down happily, and said to himself, "Look at me Good eyes, after so many years, I can still recognize you!"

"Uncle Carter?" Martin still couldn't remember who he was, and he asked, "Did you live in Kasai before?"

"Isn't it? Speaking of which, I haven't been back since the fire burned down the village. By the way, you... Where did you become a high-ranking official? How are you doing?" How is your mother?"

"Mother?" Martin was even more surprised, "My mother died of that epidemic 16 years ago."

Uncle Carter was stunned for a moment, showing his slightly white teeth: "Why? She recovered from her illness! She also said that she would look for you after she left? Didn't you see it?"

? !!

leave? ! !

Martin was shocked in his heart. He clenched the hem of the robe with his hands under the cloak. He took a deep breath to keep calm: "You...you mean, she...she didn't die in that epidemic. , but... but came to me?"

What happened to the small grave bag behind the house, is it fake?A Li's name was clearly written on it.

If she came to him, why didn't he know the news at all?

Martin's mind was in a mess, and he heard the old man respond:

"Yes, the town I personally sent her to. You really haven't met? My God, it's been so many years, this..." Uncle Carter exclaimed.

"Sir, what the old man said just now..." Coming out of the old man's house, Xiao Sheng mentioned cautiously.

"What he said is true," Martin said.Yali did not die of the plague as he always thought, but left Kasai before the village was burned to find him.

This means that there is another possibility that Yali is still alive.

If she was still alive, why didn't she come to him?

How the little boy missed his mother when he was surviving alone in the castle, but his mother did not come.

Let him live there alone, helpless, resentful.

But his biological mother abandoned him.

This thought made Martin fall into the silence of knowing the truth after many years.

"Sir... we can send someone to find out the news." Xiao Sheng looked at Martin who lowered his head, and persuaded in a low voice, "We will find a way to know what happened back then."

Martin nodded and said nothing else.

Back at the station, Breman and the others were already waiting there.

Martin just received a big news, but pretended to be calm.

His Royal Highness obviously didn't have much thought to go shopping in the market, so he returned to the station to rest after a quick glance. Antoine was quietly guarding beside him.

After a few people greeted each other, they were ready to set off back to the castle.Breman bought a new bay horse at the horse farm near the city, which was just in use at the moment.

The road back to the castle gradually became remote, and the winter birds cooed in the woods.

Antoine also felt a little uneasy.He has a keen intuition for danger after he has experienced at the border for a long time.

He glanced at a snow slope in the forest.

No one's footprints, looked very quiet.The snow on the branches is still hanging, it doesn't look like someone has walked around.

But at this time, the more quiet the more wrong.

He stopped.

"Your Highness, my lord, why don't we go another way?"
