"Your Highness is really one of the best people in Shengkunde. You have a kind heart and are always so considerate of your subordinates. We, Shengkunde, are really lucky to have you here." The vendor looked at Noqi respectfully and immediately praised him.
Never stop talking.
Nuo Qi smiled and said: "You are exaggerating. I am not as good as my elder brother, nor can I compare with those brave and skilled soldiers who gallop on the battlefield. I can only contribute to small things and try to make them less worried."
He kept a kind smile and recalled what Mrs. Bai Ying told him: "Remember, the more grandly you take Abli's child out to play, the less likely anyone will believe that you used this child to threaten Abli. Even if Abli is used in the future,
Li confessed to you with a grudge, and I believe that the kind image you have created over the years will not be easily destroyed by his few words."
He patted Mina's head pleasantly, and a voice in his heart said: "Yes, the world will definitely trust me more than that reckless man Abli."
At this time, a cleaner passed by. He swept away the garbage on the ground and said, "Your Highness, please lift your feet and don't dirty your shoes and clothes."
"Okay." Nozzi looked at the light blue face of the cleaner and asked in confusion: "In the past, wasn't the job of cleaning the streets given to those Chuan Ning star workers?"
The cleaner said: "Yes, it's strange to say that someone summoned all the workers from Sichuan Star early in the morning. According to their opinions, this is an order from King Yuchuan."
Nozzi frowned and thought, and said to himself: "What on earth does father want to do by calling these workers?"
Mina held two pieces of sugar biscuits and ate them until her mouth was full of oil. She asked in a sweet voice: "Brother, what are you thinking about?"
Nozzi was stunned for a while, then said with a smile: "It's nothing. Mina, we're done playing, it's time for us to go home."
"Are you going back to Mina's own home?" Mina raised her head and asked expectantly.
"No, let's go back to big brother's house first. Your father will come to pick you up after a while. Don't worry, okay?" Nozzi hugged Mina and prepared to leave this lively and noisy street.
When they walked to a relatively quiet street, the gentle smile on Nozzi's face slowly disappeared. His brows were furrowed and his expression looked cold.
Mina wiped her mouth and said: "Brother, I can't finish eating." She raised the remaining half of the sugar cookie in her hand.
Nozzi was full of worries at the moment, and Mina's voice made him feel irritated. He said with a cold face: "You were the one who clamored to eat two, so just eat them all for me."
Mina was startled by his serious and indifferent look. She pouted her mouth, the tip of her nose was red, and tears were about to burst out of her eyes.
Nuozhi immediately put his index finger to his lips, forced a smile, and said: "Okay, okay, if you don't want to eat, don't eat. Big brother is just teasing you. Don't cry. If you dare to cry,
You will be captured by the resentful spirits on the street, and then you will never see your parents again, do you understand?"
Mina nodded repeatedly, with tears still in her eyes, but she didn't dare to cry at all.
When they returned home, Mrs. Boying was already waiting in the living room. "Please help me coax this child. I have to go to my father to ask something."
Nozzi put down the aggrieved Mina and was about to turn around and leave.
"Do you want to ask about the workers in Chuanning Star?" Mrs. Baiying walked slowly behind Nozzi on crutches.
Nozzi asked: "Did you also hear about father summoning them urgently?"
Mrs. Bai Ying nodded and said: "Yes, and I have inquired for you in advance. Those Chuanning star workers will soon be sent to King Andor's territory."
"Why is this?" Nozzi was a little confused for a moment.
Mrs. Boying said: "I heard that the Security Bureau kidnapped an important member of the Sand Sea. In order to negotiate with them, the people on King Andor's side need these Chuanning star workers in exchange."
"Why should we care about the Sand Sea?" Nuo Qi suddenly thought of something and said, "Could it be..."
"Because King Anduo also has someone that your father misses most. As long as we send the Sichuan Star laborers to Huailin City, King Anduo's people will release your eldest brother." Mrs. Baiying sat down and took a sip of tea.
The hands holding the teacup were very old and covered with interlaced wrinkles.
"Are King Anduo and the others crazy? No matter how brave and capable the members of the 'Shahai' are, they are just mere servants. And the life of the eldest brother is tied to the seven cities they want. How could they be willing to trade his eldest brother for it?
A servant?" Nozzi was shocked.
Mrs. Bai Ying said: "I can't figure it out either. King Anduo is eager for quick success and will never give up easy-to-get profits for the lives of his men. I'm afraid there is fraud in this. However, your father will naturally do the things we can think of.
Taking into consideration."
Nozzi asked the maid to take Mina away. He paced back and forth in the spacious living room, his face very gloomy. "No matter what, eldest brother can't come back so easily."

Lan was kneeling in the dark dungeon, and the rough and hard floor tiles made his knees hurt.
Two jailers stood behind him, one of whom held his shoulders and the other stepped on his calves, forcing him to remain in a kneeling position.
Lann was covered in bruises and blood. His right eye was black and blue and severely swollen. There was blood flowing through his hair and through his eyes, making his vision even more blurry. He was hunched over, his head
It was hanging downward, looking extremely embarrassed.
A basin of sewage mixed with sediment was poured over Lann's head. He suddenly felt bitingly cold, and his soaked clothes clung to his body. The sewage flowed through his wounds, making him grimace in pain.
.
One of the jailors pulled his hair and said viciously: "You didn't expect that you would be today, did you? Now you are worse than a street rat. Let me see if you can be as proud as before!"
The cold water in the basin just made Lan wake up briefly, but he was so weak that he quickly lowered his head and almost lost consciousness. His throat was burning with pain, and he let out a hoarse and slight moan.
Another jailer kicked him hard on the back and said angrily: "Wake up! Can't you bear this little pain? My brother died in the battlefield at the age of eighteen, and his body was covered with wounds.
There are hundreds of holes, half of the bones in the body are broken, and most of the skin and flesh are eaten by snakes, rats, insects and ants. He just died in your hands, didn't he? Compared with the torture he suffered, your pain is nothing.
