After the Legend Chapter 116: The role of gossip

Mint quickly imitated Shade, taking two steps back, bowing his head slightly, and acting like a competent subordinate Jada noticed this, smiled slightly, and turned his head to look forward

Jeda's housekeeper was already waiting in the courtyard, bowed respectfully to the master, and said softly: "I just received an order from the palace, Your Majesty wants His Excellency the Duke to enter the palace on time at nine o'clock in the morning, and report this paragraph. The self-comprehension of life in the process of self-reflection, His Majesty specifically stated...I want you to see him alone"

Jada squinted, nodded slightly, and said something in a low voice, then turned around and smiled at Mintel: "I want to go to the palace to see your majesty, you can stay here for two days in peace, rest well, if If you have time, just make some potions. If you have any requirements, just ask the housekeeper. I'll excuse you." After that, he strode towards the main room.

"As a bodyguard and potionist specially invited back by your Excellency, I must know what kind of medicine you want to prepare, right?" Minte looked at Jada who disappeared in the hall, and replied patiently

"I will ask your Excellency about this, please come here." The butler did not move his eyebrows, and gestured for the east entrance: "All the foreign guards live there"

Minte turned to look at Xie De, but the latter swaggered towards the west entrance. The housekeeper saw this and said, "Mr Xie De grew up with Your Excellency since he was a child, with a unique identity, never with other people. Live together" So he's going to live with someone else? Minte frowned. If it was earning money with others, it would not only be inconvenient to do things, but it would also be difficult to track Jada's whereabouts. He raised his eyes and looked at the housekeeper: "Are you sure? There is enough space for me to put it where I live. Potions cooking station, after all, that's why you invited me"

The housekeeper still smiled politely: "Of course, you don't have to, you have a separate room, and it is very convenient to see you Despite mentioning it to me" Minte was helpless, so he had to follow him into the east gate

The stone building is very cold in winter, but it is very cool in summer Halfway up the mountain, backed by a large mountain wall, in front of it is a whole green hillside, you can vaguely see a large area of ​​white-grey, khaki-yellow and brown buildings at the bottom of the mountain, dotted with colorful flowers

"Good morning, gentlemen, it's really early today, this one... is the new Mr. Mint"

He heard the voice of the housekeeper, Minte turned his head to look, and saw three or four men of different ages standing at the end of the corridor, all of them with the appearance of Kong Wu and powerful, bearded faces, and tigers and tigers. /

Glancing at the living room behind the corridor, there seem to be a few swaying figures whispering

What does this mean? Get off the horse?

But unlike what he imagined, those men didn't say anything harsh to him or made any threats to him, they just greeted him politely and seemed to welcome him very much, but they were intentional inside and out Inquiring about his origins and expertise, his eyes swept over the calluses on his hands and then moved to the waist knife he carried with him, even the position where he stood with his hands on the handle of the knife, and his reaction when he was questioned by the crowd. They all observed it very carefully, among them, the Jiao who was standing at the very edge kept silent and looked at him with a bit of unwholesome meaning

When he introduced himself, he explained that he was invited by Jada because of his ability in potions. After that, the charming face became uninterested and made an excuse to leave with another companion, but the remaining two were still not interested. Ken quit specially invited Mintel to the living room to "chat" with him with several other men in samurai costumes sitting on the sofa. He had to work hard to deal with it

This chat made him break out in a cold sweat. It turns out that one of these people was born in the southern part of Weisha but has been living in Shaonan for many years. Fortunately, he has lived in both areas, famous places, customs, etc. I know some details, otherwise I might wear it.

It seems that he has to deal with more than just a few high-ranking people. These little people can't be underestimated, and they will reveal flaws if they are not careful. This hidden mission seems to be far more difficult than imagined. Can he successfully complete it?

For this group of warriors who have worked under the Duke of Jada for many years, the arrival of Minte has a very complicated meaning. Most of them are traditional martial arts practitioners, and many of them have left their original posts for various reasons. Most of the good soldiers in the army People are outspoken, but they inevitably have a utilitarian heart. As time goes by, they know each other's skills, so they have been at peace with each other, but suddenly a stinky little brat has not grown, but the boss personally invited him back. I heard that they seem to be paying more attention to how to convince them?

As soon as they heard the Duke was coming back, and he brought such a person with him, they couldn't sit still. The childishness has not been taken off, and the body is thin and small. Although the calluses on his hands are a little thick, at most they have learned a little martial arts. How can they compare to them? When I heard that it turned out to be a potionist, I was relieved

However, for such a young potionist, they can't help but despise the child, and they are even more unhappy when they see that this child actually lives in a separate suite, or the first-class kind. Waiting to see his jokes and finding fault with him

But to their surprise, this little boy was taken seriously by the duke at a young age, and he was treated above all others, but he had no pride at all, and he had no airs about others. Duke Jada has since entered After the capital, he stayed in the palace for a long time and never came back. The child would get up early and go to bed early every day, and he devoted himself to making potions. I heard that they were all healing, hemostasis, supplementing physical strength, nourishing the body, calming sleep... I gave them a few bottles of inferior effect, but even this kind of inferior product is much better than what they usually use. Gradually, they will not be so dazzling to see this child.

Because of a chance, they had a horse competition with this boy, and they thought he was quite good at riding. When he gestured with a sword, he was obviously an expert, but his small body looked too sturdy, but think about him A potionist, with his age and shoes, these big men are all elders, why are they arguing with a child? So I don't think about finding fault with him

Among these few warriors, there are also two or three who have doubts about Mintel's identity and origin. I see that he has never been out of the castle except for two horse runs outside the castle with them, and never messed around in the castle. I didn't go to the small town under the mountain, nor did I pester people to ask questions. I felt that he should be quite honest, so I gradually relaxed my attention to him and focused on other things

If they have any dissatisfaction with the newcomer Mint, it is only one thing: this child doesn't know if he has not stopped breastfeeding, and seems to especially love to be close to the aunts and aunts in the castle, who are young and beautiful. Usually they don't pay much attention to them (this makes them feel that children are very eye-catching), but they only love looking for older ones, and when it comes to rest time, they go to the kitchen or the maid's lounge to help them work, make noodles, and make fires. , slapped his hands, sat on the edge with a shy smile, quietly, not talking much, just listening to their nagging, sitting for an hour and a half before going back to the room to continue making medicine

The maids were a little nervous at first, for fear of offending the duke's valued guest, but later found out that this distinguished guest was actually just a child, "honest", "shy" and "kind and considerate", so they As if he was a nephew, he let go of the big chat and chat with the housekeeper. At first, he thought it was too disrespectful, so he persuaded Minte a few words, but Minte said, "It sounds kind, like going home and seeing my mother, aunt and the others. It doesn't matter." Remembering that before the Duke left, he said that as long as his demands were not excessive, he would try his best to satisfy them, and the butler had to turn a blind eye

After hearing about this incident, the warriors secretly laughed a few times, saying that the children in the countryside were just ignorant, and when they came to the Duke, they didn't go out to make friends with talented and promising people, but mingled with servants and maids. , it's really worthless, after they finished laughing, they just let it go

Mint breathed a sigh of relief. His pretense should be considered a firm foothold in this castle, right? The medicine that has been dispensed in the past few days has been sent to Jada by the housekeeper. There is no reply. It should be effective, but Jada has not come back for nearly ten days. What is he doing?

But Jada is not here, he is also happy and relaxed, at least he doesn't need to worry every day, for fear of revealing his flaws. Don't think he is really so leisurely, chatting with aunts and aunts every day, this is a good channel for gathering intelligence /

Not long after he arrived, he discovered that the servants in this castle, all over forty years old, almost all moved out of the palace with Jada's father, and many of them came from generations. The families who served the Noga royal family knew a lot about some of the palace secrets. In addition, they still had relatives and friends who were still serving in the palace or other members of the royal family, although they did not dare to communicate in public due to the position of each other's masters. Too many, but in fact, private contacts have never been cut off, some gossip, they know more than others

Among these servants, the more prominent ones, such as the housekeeper, or Mrs. Pell, the female steward—the one who specially greeted Junia, were very cautious in words and deeds, serving men and women in the study room, sword practice room, living room, etc. The servants are also very alert. Presumably Jada has put a lot of effort into these people. He is not a cronie, and will never be placed in an important position, but no matter how thoughtful he is, there will inevitably be some omissions

For example, the cook, the washerwoman who cooks for the subordinates and servants, the maid, the assistant to the gardener, the wife, the seamstress who makes clothes for the servants... Wait, these ladies who are very old and only occupy ordinary positions, Because no one pays attention, there is not so much taboo when talking about it. However, they also came out of the noble palace, and they once had a young and beautiful life, but now they have been buried in the dust of the years. , ignored by the superiors

Mint acted as a good kid in front of them--he seemed to be quite gifted at it--to make them stop guarding themselves, and after a few days, they got a lot of valuable information smoothly

He had doubts before. He was also the grandson of the previous King Murdoch I. Jada was obviously better than Lawler, but he failed to become the crown prince. Lawler has many shortcomings, as well as reckless and rash personality Mao Bo is also the son of Prince Mario, who is eyeing the throne. Why can he still be named a prince?

This is also what he overheard back then. Jada mentioned it in the conversation with the man named "Sargent"

Now from the mouths of these aunts, he knew the reason. It turned out that Jada's father was actually the eldest son of Murdoch I, and the other two princes who were killed and injured in the coup that year were Murdoch I. of the first queen, while Prince Mario and Gal II are the second queen, the son of the current queen mother

In that coup d'état, the situation was finally stabilized. The Queen Mother played a big role, so her prestige was very high. In addition, Gale II was too sad because of the death of his wife and children, and he had no intention to deal with political affairs. In the chaos, the queen mother chose her preferred grandson as the crown prince candidate. As for Jada, who is not related to her by blood, no matter how good she is, it is impossible to meet her wishes

According to the recollections of the maids and the one or two portraits he saw in the castle, Jada's father, although not as good as his son, seems to be a very calm person. Because of his mother, he takes good care of his younger brothers, and his character is relatively kind. He is the eldest son, and his father attaches great importance to him. If there is no accident, there is an 80% chance that he will become the next king, and his son Jada will naturally become the throne. heirs

In this way, what Jada said before, "Even if he doesn't intervene, he is a noble royal duke" somewhat discounts his status. If Prince Mario and his son are really in power~IndoMTL.com~ How could it be possible let him go? Even if he doesn't want to fight, he still has to fight for his life

Mint pondered in secret that there were constant internal disputes in the Norga royal family. If it could be maintained, maybe the war would not be fought. Now that Gale II is weak, Prince Mario has the upper hand, but if Gale II gets better If so, what will happen?

All kinds of gossip flowed into his ears continuously. He secretly wrote down the important information, then hid in the room, wrote down these information in the name of dispensing medicine, and stuffed it into the storage ring. Waiting for the opportunity to pass out

On the ninth day of Jada's departure, he learned from the milkmaid who had just returned from a family visit that the eldest young master of a certain noble family had been escorted by an officer from a garrison in the south to Nomonka a few days ago. He also brought back a beautiful Weisha dancer, so angry that his father beat him up. The eldest young master and Prince Lawler are very close friends. After the prince came to visit him, he actually took that mistress. I gave it to the prince. I heard that the prince was very happy. He specially arranged a leisurely and decent job for him. He also blamed his father for not beating his son. /

Mintel heard the news and knew that Namu had already touched the edge of Noga's power center, but he was still stranded outside Nomonka

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sighed. He had almost inquired about the gossip. He probably knew about the famous royal aristocrat of Nomonka, but when would he be able to meet Gal II?

The next day, the butler came with good news. Jada sent someone back from the palace and summoned Minte to see the king. Minte knew that the critical moment was coming

(It's so hot... typhoon season is coming, let's stop the thunder...)
