Nangong Long stroked his chin in a state of contemplation, then looked at Ai Lian beside him and said seriously:

"Are you talking about me"

"Yes, yes," Eileen agreed with a chuckle.

They chatted until Eve came to remind them that it was time for dinner, and Nangong Long and the others stopped. They were basically chatting, but Sophie would also inadvertently test Nangong Long's true thoughts.

After dinner, Nangong Long went to the study, while Sophie and the others wandered casually, and he did not limit their range of activities.

"There are other reasons why you don't unite with neutral nobles." Ai Lian hugged Nangong Long from behind and whispered in his ear.

Nangong Long held Ailian's hand, asked her to come to the front, and then let her sit in his arms to hold her, Ailian blushed, but did not refuse.

"You are right, because one day I will abolish the aristocracy and centralize power".

Chapter 12 The undefeated legend in the mercenary world

When the time came, Lim came to the study to call Ai Lian. When she saw Ai Lian sitting in Nangong Long's arms, she felt bad.

Ailian got up as if nothing happened, and went to the bathroom on the first floor with Lim.

"What happened to Ailian?" Lim asked in a cold voice with a straight face in the corridor.

"It's just what you saw." Ailian replied with a smile, without making excuses for her behavior.

"Don't you like Yinhui? Have you changed your mind?" Lim frowned and said in a bad tone. She knew how much Ailian liked Yinhui, no less than herself.

"No, he is the only one who can let me down my guard and make intimate gestures." Ai Lian replied as a matter of course with a slightly red face.

"Then you still..." Lim's expression froze halfway through the words, and he froze in place, looking at Ailian mechanically.

"It seems that you guessed it, he is Yinhui." Ai Lian tilted her head cutely and said with a smirk.

Eileen must have confirmed it in detail, and Lim doesn't need to doubt it, but it's just because of that.

"What to do, what to do... Is my attitude very cold this month?" Lim asked Ailian in a panic. They had lived in the Earl's Mansion for more than twenty days.

"Yeah, but you're usually like that." Ailian looked like she didn't need to care, but it made Lim feel depressed and gloomy.

"Will he hate me?" Lim asked anxiously.

"How come, you have had close contact with him, so be more confident." Ailian comforted Lim by patting Lim's shoulder, resisting the urge to laugh, such a Lim is rare.

"Ah!!! You don't need to say that kind of thing!" Lim shouted with a flushed face, and immediately put the previous anxiety behind her.

Three years ago, when Lim was a mercenary fighting the enemy in the forest, she was accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, which happened to bite on her chest.After Nangong Long killed the enemy, he carried Lim to a place far away where others could not see, took off Lim's clothes, sucked out the snake's venom, and followed Ai Lian to watch the whole process with a blushing face.

Although it is possible to drink the potion for Lim directly, the benefits will be gone. Of course, Nangong Long gave Lim a bottle of healing potion afterwards while no one was paying attention, otherwise Lim would not recover so quickly.

"Okay, let's go, Sophie is still waiting for us." Ailian took Lim's hand and walked to the bathroom on the first floor.

Just like that, Lim walked into the bathroom with a complicated girlish heart.

"It's so comfortable. It's much more comfortable than taking a cold bath in the river when you're on your way." Sophie said with emotion after soaking in the large bath with a suitable temperature.

"How can such a remote territory have the funds to build such a luxurious mansion, it must be another lord who oppresses the people of the territory," Mira, who was leaning on the edge of the bath, criticized displeasedly.

"This kind of behavior of convicting others indiscriminately, you are really a sensible nobleman." Ailian sneered and looked at Mira with mocking eyes.

"Isn't it?" Mira retorted without showing any weakness.

"Could you go and see for yourself tomorrow, this town is not big"

"Oh, don't quarrel." Sophie showed a gentle smile on her face, as if she was scolding a mischievous child, without feeling any courage.

But both Ailian and Mira kept their mouths shut, and they both noticed that Sophie's willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, which was a symbol of Sophie's anger.

There is absolutely no good fruit to eat if they continue to quarrel, and the two of them have experienced personal pain in this regard.

"Really...every time we meet, we have to quarrel."

"It's not her..."

Ellen and Mira shouted in unison while pointing at each other.

Seeing that the two were about to stare at each other again, Sophie looked at them with a smile, and Ailian and Mira immediately turned their heads away from each other.

Lim on the side looked at them speechlessly, and sighed deeply, she had (babg) nothing to do with Ailian and Mira.

"Okay, let's talk about Earl Nangong. The bathroom is very convenient, it's spacious enough and there's no maid around," Sophie said softly.

The empty bathroom can't hide people at all, and because it's relatively large, it can't be eavesdropped through the wall.

"What do you want to know, just ask, Sophie," Ailian said.

"You and the earl know each other, or you became friends in less than a month."

"It's such a sharp question, am I that obvious?" Ai Lian looked at Sophie with a wry smile.

"Obviously, the way you look at him is very gentle, which is not the attitude a prisoner should have, and you allowed him to call you by your nickname"

Hearing Sophie's words, Ellen showed a resigned expression.

"I said, we know each other, but I only found out about it recently"

Sophie looked at Ai Lian puzzled, since she knew her, why did she only find out about it recently.

As if understanding the doubt in Sophie's eyes, Ailian explained.

"The undefeated legend in the mercenary world, you should have heard of it"

Sophie nodded, and Mira also nodded subconsciously.

Of course they have heard of it. Four years ago, they suddenly appeared in Jistad and wiped out a bandit gang of hundreds of people by themselves, so they became famous.

After that, he was active in large and small battles, but the lord who hired him never lost, even if there were other mercenaries holding him back.

However, he doesn't accept all the entrustments. He never pays attention to the cruel and unkind lords.

There were also lords who felt unhappy and wanted to teach him a lesson or even kill him, but he was still alive and well, but those lords died miserably for no reason.

His deeds gradually spread in the mercenary world, but no one knew about his origin, and he never even showed his appearance in front of people. Because he always wore silver-white full-body armor, everyone called him Yinhui.

He also has a good reputation among the common people, and he has never done anything to rob the village and oppress the common people.

The villagers feared the mercenary group as much as the bandits and robbers, because most of the mercenaries were of poor conduct, no different from robbers, they would even rob villages for supplies, and killing people was not out of the question.

However, this legendary figure disappeared two years ago, and no one saw him again, as if the world had evaporated.

"You don't want to say that he is that person, do you?" Sophie looked at Ai Lian with a surprised and unexpected expression.

"Yeah." Eileen nodded.

Now Sophie fully understands what is going on with Ailian's inexplicable gentleness, Ailian has often talked to her about Yinhui, it's strange that the undisguised love can't be seen.

Chapter 13 Shy Ellen

"What do you think of him, I mean now" Sophie looked at Ai Lian with a serious expression. She had only heard about Yin Hui, but had never met him, so she didn't know what kind of person he was. Good judgment.

"Very good. I am very kind to the people. I didn't impose heavy taxes, and I didn't rob women. However, I am merciless towards the enemy. I would like to remind you not to be hostile to him. Lim and I have seen two battles. First, when we were captured and returned to Alsace, we met a marquis on the way and asked him to hand us over, and as a result, 3000 people died, and the second was the fight with Tainati, you already know, and there are no survivors."

"Are Brunu's soldiers all fighting to the death?" Mira, who had been listening all the time, couldn't help but ask, what kind of military discipline must there be so that no one surrenders?

"Of course there are people who surrender, quite a few, but that's meaningless.

Yinhui’s order to the soldiers before the battle was to kill them all. As long as he didn’t stop, even if the enemy threw away their weapons and knelt down to beg for mercy, those armored soldiers would not hesitate to chop them down with their swords. Is it really possible for human beings to be so cold-blooded and ruthless?

However, they are undoubtedly the most qualified army, they have completely complied with the orders and prohibitions, and their combat power is outstanding," Ailian said objectively with a calm face.

"Master Zhan Ji, you have never seen cavalry and infantry confronting each other. The cavalry will be the ones who will lose miserably. The armored army guarding the mansion is that strong." Lim added looking at Sophie and Mira.

Sophie and Mira looked at each other, not knowing what to say, anyhow it would be too exaggerated.

"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it either." Ai Lian spoke out to prove what Lim said was true.

"For the sake of being a war concubine, I want to remind you that Yinhui usually has no airs and doesn't like to talk about the etiquette of nobles. Of course, it doesn't mean that he doesn't understand, but it's just troublesome.

You'd better put away your arrogance, don't look at everyone with that contemptuous look, the consequence of making him angry is not like arguing with me.And don't think that your status as Zhan Ji is much more noble than that of Yinhui's Earl." Ailian looked at Mira and kindly reminded her.

Although the nationalities are different, the status of the war concubine is much higher than that of the earl. Normally, it is impossible for the two to talk on an equal footing.

Even if Ailian is captured, Sophie and the others should negotiate with the king or the duke, but Brunu is in a state of chaos now, the king is ignoring the affairs of state, the duke is busy fighting for hegemony, and the most important point is that Nangong Long doesn't listen to the duke's orders at all .

Mira snorted coldly, she still didn't believe that a count had [-] private soldiers, so she retorted stiffly:

"Duke Thénati has many allies not only at home, but also abroad, and I am one of them."

Ailian's eyes widened in disbelief, Mira should hate people like Tenati very much.

"I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. Forget it, I don't know much about you."

Seeing Ellen sighing in disappointment, Mira showed an awkward expression.

"Don't look at me like that"

"Okay, okay, the relationship between the Duke of Tainati and the Principality of Olmiz started long before Mira was born, do you think Mira will give up decades of friendship because of personal feelings?" Sophie looked at Eileen explained for Mira.

Tai Nadi treats his subjects cruelly and ruthlessly, but when he makes deals with foreign nobles, he keeps his promise and never breaks the contract. He is undoubtedly the best partner for cooperation. The same is true for Gianulon, so he does not want the two dukes to fall There are not a few foreign nobles in China.

Even if these people only provide money, food, weapons, intelligence, etc., they can become a great help, and it is not ruled out that they provide military support.

There are also people who are so high in status that they can influence the situation simply by expressing their support publicly.

And none of these Nangong dragons, Mira is probably the guide palace dragon alone.

"So that's how it is," Ellen murmured as if understanding.

"Speaking of which, have you ever seen the [-] troops that the Earl said? I don't think this small town has room to accommodate that many people." Sophie changed the subject and asked the question she had been concerned about.

"I've only seen about [-] troops, that is, the time when the Tainadi army was wiped out. I think it's better to estimate more. In the battle of Dinant, Lim and I only saw about [-] troops. [-] may be just false information" Ailian thought for a while and said.

"Assuming that what he said is true, how did the food and grass for more than 2 troops be provided, and where are they stationed?" Sophie asked, frowning.

"I don't know about the problem of food and grass. I have never seen the Iron Armored Army take off their helmets. It may be because of the same appearance. I can't tell the difference between shifts and rest.

The place to be stationed should be the nearby Vosges Mountains”

"It's really mysterious enough, I'm getting more and more curious," Sophie murmured, resting her chest with one hand and her cheek with the other.
