Hearing Li Yi's words, Margaret couldn't help but smile. He stared at Li Yi with a funny look. Margaret said jokingly: "Haha, General Li is really a lazy person. He didn't understand anything, but he just wanted to push these prisoners onto me. You're a good plan."
Despite Margaret's words, Li Yi did not change his mind at all. Pretending to let go of his hands, Li Yi said, "Hehe, there is no way. I'm a newcomer and don't know any rules. Mrs. Lol will be affected."
Seeing Li Yi's rogue appearance, Margaret could only shake his head helplessly. After that, he did not refuse and ordered these prisoners of war to walk at the front of the team with rules. After that, Margaret led Li Yi and others toward Wu'an City.
When Li Yi and his party arrived at Wu'an City, the sun had already set for a long time. In Li Yi and his group originally planned to settle in another city, but because they met Margaret on the road, the group walked forward and walked for a while. Finally, they arrived at Margaret's base camp, Wu'an City, after the future.
When entering the city, it was already night, Wu'an City was not particularly lively at this time. After all, the scale of Wu'an City has not reached the level of the city. And in this chaotic territory, it is difficult for the lives of the people to be guaranteed, let alone be carefree at night.
Walking quietly in Wu'an City, Li Yi looked around the slightly deserted streets and said to Margaret lightly: "Mrs. Lor, it seems that Wu'an City is not very rich." After all, where Li Yi lived before was a prosperous city like Lily of the Valley City. Even when he was in the Atlan Empire, the prosperity of the city of Nuoye was far from keeping up with this Wu'an City.
Hearing Li Yi's feelings, Margaret did not show any embarrassing expression. After all, Margaret knew the situation in Wu'an City. He looked helplessly at the deserted streets, and Margaret said calmly: "Haha, there is no way to do it. In this Jingchuan Province, it is already very difficult to find such a city with strict defense and place the people of Wu'an Country. And in fact, don't look at the situation in Wu'an City, the situation in other cities in Jingchuan Province is not much better than here. After all, it is a chaotic world and it is no longer comparable to the Shengyuan Da 6 ten years ago."
Listening carefully to Margaret's slightly helpless statement, Li Yi nodded understandingly, and then slowly said: "I think less. I think it's not easy for you to create such a foundation in this Jingchuan Province."
"It's not easy to say that there is nothing easy. Since we have reached the level of today, the people of Wu'an Kingdom have no complaints. This world is the prey of the weak, and if you want to blame, you can only blame those great empires for being too strong. But it is worth comforting that no matter how big the empire is, it will sooner or later die. Compared to the fragmentation of the Sai Empire, what is the current situation in Wu'an Kingdom worth mentioning?" Margaret said optimistically about the current situation.
In response to this, Li Yi just smiled and nodded, but said nothing afterwards.
The group talked about irrelevant topics and slowly walked to the city lord's mansion. Margaret first dismissed the guards that had survived the disaster with her, and then turned to Li Yi and said, "Li Yi, I can only arrange your people to live in the military hall tonight. After dawn tomorrow, I will arrange a place to change to a more comfortable environment."
Li Yi had no objection to Margaret's arrangements. His subordinates lived in the military every day when they were in the Flame Dragon Legion, so Li Yi did not show any dissatisfaction with Margaret's apology.
After letting his subordinates go to rest with Margaret's guards, Li Yi smiled and said to Margaret: "Then Li Yi will say goodbye first. Mrs. Lor has a good rest. After experiencing today's changes, I believe the wife should be very tired."
Seeing that Li Yi seemed to be ready to leave, Margaret suddenly said, "General Li, don't hurry to leave. I haven't thanked you for saving your life yet. Although it's already late, it's not late at night. Why don't you come to the mansion with your friends to talk to me, I believe our king should also be interested in getting to know you."
After hearing Margaret's invitation, Li Yi hesitated for a moment and turned around to ask Yadi and the others for advice. When he saw that they were all indifferent, Li Yi smiled and said, "Okay, since the wife is kindly invited, we can't let you take your face like this."
"Haha, that's right. Men, it's not good if they are grandma and mother. In fact, even if you don't talk about anything else, you should be given the attention of our Wu'an Legion based on the combat effectiveness of you. Also, before you take action today, did I promise to pay you? After entering the mansion, I will talk about these things carefully." After saying that, Margaret smiled at Li Yi, then took a step to lead the way for Li Yi and others.
When he walked into the main hall of the lord's mansion, a scholar dressed in a middle-aged man walked up to Margaret and said respectfully: "Madam, you are finally back. I have encountered trouble on the way. Why did you come back so long than planned?"
With a polite smile to the visitor, Margaret said lightly: "Haha, thank you Lord Cherieg, I encountered an ambush from the Rona Legion on the way, so I delayed for a long time. Fortunately, Margaret survived the disaster and saved my life and ran back." The situation that Margaret had encountered before could be said to be sinister, but at this time, Margaret said lightly. From this, it can be seen that this woman's scheming is indeed no less than that of some men.
Although Margaret was lukewarm, the middle-aged man seemed to have become accustomed to it. After listening to Margaret's story, Rigg still smiled and said, "Oh, Mrs. Lor was ambushed by the Rhone Legion. This is not a trivial matter. Mrs. should only bring five hundred guards when she went out this time. The other party ambushed you, probably because she dispatched a large number of troops. Madam is really a heroine, and she can still return safely when she was ambushed."
A look of impatient appearance appeared on Margaret's face when she flattered her. She smiled perfunctorily and said, "Haha, thank you Lord Cherieg, Margaret is just a female person. It was all luck that I was able to escape from danger this time, which made me meet my former old friend. Now that I have escaped from trouble, I don't want to discuss this matter anymore. However, the matter of going out for the mission this time is very secret, and I can still be found out by the Rona Legion and sent troops halfway through. From tomorrow, I will be ready to check this matter."
Looking at Margaret's performance at this time, Li Yi was watching clearly. If you talk about Margaret, a woman, she could definitely be said to be a versatile and good-for-all social expert, but now when facing this guy named Rigg, Margaret's performance is completely opposite to the past. Looking at Margaret and Rigg's conversation calmly, Li Yi seemed to see some clues from it.
Although Margaret has always been lukewarm since Rigg appeared, Rigg always looked like he was careless. Although Margaret said he wanted to investigate and deal with it carefully, the expression on Rigg's face did not change at all.
With a harmless smile on his face, Rigg bowed to Margaret and said softly: "Haha, Mrs. Lor is right. This matter must be investigated and dealt with carefully. You can't inexplicably suffer this secret loss."
"There is no need to bother Lord Rigg. I will definitely be able to understand my affairs." Looking at Rigg coldly, Margaret still said lukewarmly. After saying that, Margaret glanced at the empty main hall. Margaret then said with a little question: "Have Lord Lore already gone to bed?"
Hearing Margaret's question, Rigg also showed a gloating expression on his face. He chuckled without any trace. Rigg said lightly: "Lord Lore went to Qingzhuxuan with the other adults tonight. He got drunk and was taken back by the guards in the mansion in the afternoon. He was sleeping after he came back and had not woken up yet."
After listening to Rigg's story, Margaret's originally tight face finally showed a slightly disappointed look. Margaret was really disappointed with her husband.
However, this lost expression did not last long on her face, and she quickly put it away. After returning to her cold appearance, Margaret said to Rigg indifferently: "Okay, thank you Lord Rigg. It's getting late now. If you have nothing else, please come back first. I'll bring some friends back and want to talk about things here."
Hearing Margaret's order to expel guests, Rigg first bowed tactfully and prepared to say goodbye. But when he was about to turn around, Rigg couldn't help but look at Li Yi and the others, and then asked Margaret: "I don't know what the distinguished guests brought back by Mrs. Lol. I think I'll stay there too. This can also show my importance to the distinguished guests."
Seeing this guy named Rigg so ignorant of the current affairs, Li Yi couldn't help but smile. Looking at his performance since his appearance, Li Yi had already felt that there must be some problems with this guy named Rigg. Not only Margaret's attitude towards him, but also his slightly suspicious behavior.
When Margaret heard Rigg's last words, she no longer kept her indifference. She frowned slightly, and Margaret said to Rigg with a angrily anger: "Lord Rigg, I wonder if you are too enthusiastic about the game. Although these friends of mine are distinguished guests, I don't think there is any need to bother you, sir, and they are not the kind of people who care about etiquette."
Margaret just finished speaking, Li Yi said in time: "Well, Mrs. Lol is right. We guys are just idle people and don't like the rules in those scenes, so this adult doesn't have to work hard for us."
Upon hearing this, Rigg finally found an opportunity and looked at Li Yi carefully. Although he looked at Li Yi before, he didn't really see clearly. Now that he had time to look at him carefully, Rigg only realized that this man with a scar on his left eye was so handsome. Especially his golden pupils, Rigg just stared at his eyes and felt like he was about to lose his soul.
Feeling the strangeness on Li Yi, Rigg didn't say much. He smiled politely to Li Yi, then bowed to Margaret, and said politely: "Since Mrs. Lor can handle this matter, I won't join here. Then, let's say goodbye first." After that, Rigg walked out of the main hall with three steps.
Seeing that the guy named Rigg finally left here, Margaret finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Rigg's back, Margaret's face showed deep disgust and alertness.
Seeing Margaret's strange behavior, Li Yi couldn't help but go forward and asked, "Madam, if I read it correctly, you shouldn't have a good impression of this person. Is there anything wrong with him?"
After hearing Li Yi's words, Margaret pulled her eyes back from the hateful guy, and then smiled and said to Li Yi: "Haha, that's okay. This guy named Rigg has been acting a little suspicious recently, and he is also very disgusting, so I don't have any good impression of him."
"Oh, so that's it. I'll help you solve it. After all, keeping such a person by your side is not a wise choice. Maybe one day he will give you a fatal blow. This is a time bomb." Li Yi said lightly at Margaret with a smile.
Regarding Li Yi's proposal, Margaret shook her head slightly, and then said lightly: "A guy likes to be self-righteous and keeps him. I really can't tell whether it is a time bomb or a magic weapon to win unexpectedly."
"Oh? How do you say this?" Li Yi couldn't help asking curiously when he heard Margaret say this.
"Haha, let's talk about these things later. After all, the relationship is quite complicated, and it can't be explained clearly in just a few words." Margaret said perfunctorily. It seemed that she didn't want to discuss this with Li Yi yet.
After a little silence, Margaret spoke to Li Yi again and said, "Okay, let's talk about the important things now. Li Yi, first, I want to thank you for your life-saving grace today. I, Margaret, will never forget this kind of grace."
"Haha, it's easy to say, don't worry too much, it's just a slight effort." Li Yi just said indifferently about Margaret's words of gratitude for remarks.
