059 Surprised
readx;
Liang Lidong discovered that Rex seemed to have been trying to anger himself for unknown reasons. Now he actually wanted to use words to use him as a subordinate. This is another disguised ridicule. Because of the talent of "noble temperament", most people will treat Liang Lidong as a nobleman without any doubt. If there is no relationship between superiors and subordinates, and if there is no huge gap in titles, a nobleman is regarded as someone else's subordinate for no reason, which is itself a great discrimination.
Liang Lidong looked at Rex, with a curvature of his mouth, and his eyes curled up with a smile, like a malicious fox: "Oh, Lord Emma, how do you plan to let me cooperate with you?"
"There are also several professionals in my family. They are clan guards trained since childhood." Rex leaned forward slightly, as if he wanted to put pressure on the other party: "If you can cooperate with our clan guards to act together, it will not be difficult for me to eliminate the enemy's assassinators."
The so-called tribe guard is actually a dead soldier trained by a family since childhood. They are absolutely loyal to the family, and if they make a high contribution, they can even become part of the family, turn from slaves and become masters. The subtle meaning of Rex's remarks is that Liang Lidong will become his tribe guard. Anyone with a little self-esteem will not be able to stand this kind of open view without any problem, but in essence there is a hidden suggestion of sinister intentions.
As expected, as soon as these words were said, the city lord Uther looked a little ugly. This was not because he was looking towards Liang Lidong in his heart, but now that the foreign enemy was about to be in trouble. If they still fought openly and secretly within themselves, it would be like half of the output. The other two nobles looked a little excited, and seemed to have a rhythm of watching the show.
Liang Lidong became more and more sure that the triangular eyes seemed to want to anger himself. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency Emma's suggestion is good, but there is a small place that needs to be modified. In terms of identity, your clan guard should accept my command. Your Excellency, just stand behind and watch the show. I will find a way to solve the enemy's assassination. What do you think?"
Since the other party had bad intentions, the less Liang Lidong wanted to make the other party feel good. He wanted to force him to get angry, but he was calm. Moreover, when he noticed that when Rex said those words, the guard behind him moved back a little, as if he wanted to do something, but when he saw Liang Lidong was not angry, he stopped.
Since the other party wanted him to take action, Liang Lidong deprived the other party of command. Because Liang Lidong is a player, his worldview is very different and he does not have the so-called noble dignity, so using this method to force him to get angry is tantamount to ignite in the mud. It is impossible. Seeing that Liang Lidong was not angry, Rex himself became a little angry: "Hmph, when will it be the turn of outsiders to command the guards of my family?"
"Haha, then, I am a spellcaster. When will it be my turn to assist several clan guards?" Liang Lidong said lightly and even smiled, but there was a sarcastic look in it: "As far as I know, the highest title in the border city should be the earl, but Lord Rex's style is full of momentum, and even the city lord cannot reach it. I guess he should be the duke."
Rex jumped up in anger and pointed at Liang Lidong and kept shaking. Then Liang Lidong continued, "I heard that people are prone to stroke when they are old. People with strokes will keep trembling... Lord Rex, since you are old, don't come out and sway, go home and have a good rest. Isn't it better to let the juniors in the family do these hard work for you? Or do you think the position of patriarch is comfortable and you don't want to let them sit?"
Liang Lidong's words were a bit vicious... But the other people in the room smiled when they heard it, as if Liang Lidong's words had reached their laughter.
Rex's reaction was even more exaggerated. He shouted with a red face, slapped the table hard, and cursed: "Betta, you bully people too much. Do you really think that my Emma family is easy to bully? Don't think you have the city lord to support you..."
The city lord Uther coughed and interrupted, "First of all, Lord Rex, I will not ask about the personal grudge between you and Beta."
Liang Lidong continued to smile and said, "Since it is a personal grudge, Mr. Rex, how about we have a duel for honor?"
The so-called duel of honor is an extreme solution adopted by two nobles when there is an irreconcilable contradiction. The two families each sent out one person to the duel. Under the witness of many nobles, the loser must give one-third of the land to the winner, and in the future, he or she must take the initiative to avoid it.
"I don't have to promise you this outdated custom." Rex said gritting his teeth.
"Okay, let's put your personal grudges aside for the time being." Uther clapped his hands and attracted everyone's attention to him. Then he said: "Because there are many assassinators on the Temple of Life, I suggest that everyone stay in our city lord's residence in the future. This place is very vigilant and Lord Beta is in charge, so I think it should be very safe here. Of course, if someone has a better way, we can also say it, let's refer to it. Anyway, we just need to hold on for about three months, and when summer comes, victory will belong to our side."
Liang Lidong listened to Uther's words and looked at Rex. Seeing his face turned red and blue, he must have been so angry that he could not bear it, but he still endured it and did not leave. This made Liang Lidong feel more and more that this guy had something to do, but what exactly must be stimulated to get angry to be effective! After thinking about it, Liang Lidong couldn't understand.
Uther lets everyone live in the castle first, which is also a feasible method. Although the assassination also has certain threats during the day, their home court is at night. As long as they are humans, there will always be a nap at night. Although Liang Lidong can see through all the illusions, he cannot guarantee that he has not relaxed. Only a thousand days of thieves can be used to defend against thieves, but here, because it is a military fortress, it is very difficult for the assassin to touch them in.
Besides, soon the fence will be about to contract the magic pet. The cats are nocturnal animals, and they also have specialties in stealth and anti-submarine, and have a strong sense of territory, making them very suitable for being a guardian at night.
Therefore, Liang Lidong naturally agreed with this suggestion. He is not sure how much advantage the Temple of Life has had in the open and secret struggle with the city lord, but as a weak person, it is a very wise decision to stick to the existing resources and formations.
"Since everyone agrees with my judgment, please ask a few of you to choose the floor you want to live in." Uther stood up: "After the decision, I will immediately take your family to the castle. Of course, your private soldiers can only live in the barracks."
The middle-aged fat man from the Hibiscus family smiled and said, "It should be... I don't know much about the command height in combat. Since my private soldiers are going to live in the military camp later, how about the city lord's command during this period?"
Uther's eyes lit up. He liked this kind of tactful person the most: "Okay, I promise to treat everyone equally."
"Then I'll choose the fourth floor." The middle-aged fat man stood up: "Now I'll see where I'll stay in the next three months."
"Please." Uther stood up and made a gesture.
The middle-aged fat man nodded, put his hands behind him, and slowly left. After that, Rex and Wood chose the fifth and sixth floors respectively, but they did not say that they would hand over the private soldiers to the city lord to command. After they left, Uther snorted softly, and then asked Liang Lidong: "Where are you planning to live? Now there are only the fifth and seventh floors."
"Where did Carl live when he was here?"
"On the seventh floor, there is a magic experimental type he specially built the business."
Liang Lidong replied: "Then I will live there."
"This is not very good, wouldn't it be too unlucky!" Uther's face was a little embarrassed.
Liang Lidong smiled and said, "Soul is just an energy to put it bluntly. Carl was not my opponent during his lifetime. Even if the soul of the undead wandered in this world, I was not afraid of him. If he lost his soul protected by his body, his combat ability was reduced by at least half."
"It's up to you." Uther shrugged gently.
Liang Lidong was unwilling to be alone with Uther for too long. He left the room and walked up the stairs, but did not go directly to the seventh floor, but went to the fourth floor silently. Then he saw the middle-aged fat man standing in front of the window and looking down at the scenery.
"What are you asking me to come here?" Liang Lidong walked over and asked.
The middle-aged fat man turned his head and said, "You can really understand the code gestures of our Hibiscus flower family."
"Nonsense, I still thought of this set of gestures..." Liang Lidong was suddenly stunned because he was thinking about Rex's problem just now and didn't care, but now he felt something was wrong. The gesture code he thought of should only exist in the game. Why is the Hibiscus family in the real world actually using it!
