After the Legend Chapter 6: A moment of peace

Dora breathed a sigh of relief: "That's great. It only takes half a day to ride the horse back and forth. I'll be relieved to return the gift he sent earlier."

Winnie asked inexplicably, "Miss, do you really want to return that dress? That is Master Chuloff's intention. Besides, aren't you planning to save face for the uncle at the May Day dance? ?"

Dora smiled: "I just want to know Yidong's most popular skirt styles, and I can also buy cloth. Although Anlong gave in, he must be very unhappy. Put things back, lest he think of it and blame me in the future." She looked at the two beautiful cardboard boxes on the table, opened the larger one, touched the unusually soft and smooth dress inside, and sighed. Tone: "A material woven from silk soaked in moonlight grass juice, I don't know if I'll ever have a chance to wear it in my life."

Winnie couldn't help feeling sorry for her: "Oh, my poor Miss Dora, you should be the most dazzling pearl in Ito City. If you hadn't married your uncle, you wouldn't have to endure this kind of life." Thinking of An Long, she felt a little dissatisfied: "Although my father is great, but with such a mother on the stall, it's no wonder that my uncle is not promising."

Dora interrupted her: "Don't say it!" She took one last look at the faintly radiant dress, and simply closed the lid: "This is only temporary, one day, Ann Ryu will come out on top and take our family out of this hellish place!"

The next day, Goodwin personally came to the door and took the gift back. Although he was very sorry, in the face of Dora, who kept apologizing, he still comforted her gently, expressed his understanding of her actions, and sincerely wished her husband and wife an early reconciliation. Dora watched him leave gratefully, and sighed in her heart, it's a pity that she didn't fall in love with him for such a good man.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian brought Ming Na back from the Qinggong practice, and when he saw the carriage that went away, he felt a little familiar. Dora only vaguely said that she was a guest, and didn't say much. She just wiped her daughter's sweat in distress and complained in a low voice, "Look how tired you are? What do girls learn from those?"

Minna shouted nonchalantly, "I'm hungry, I want to eat Winnie's biscuits!" Dora said, "Winnie is busy making May Day clothes, so I don't have time to make them. Snack, let Marshall make it for you."

Ming Na responded, shouting "Grandpa Marshall, I want some biscuits", and ran quickly to the kitchen to find the old housekeeper. Seeing him sitting beside the desk in a daze, he seemed to be out of energy, and asked: "Grandpa Marshall, are you sick?"

Marshall finally woke up and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, it's just that he's getting older and his spirits are a little worse." Suddenly seeing Xiao Tianjian who was entering the door with his granddaughter, he quickly stood up and bowed: "Are you back? Please? You and the young lady will wait a moment, I will make the small round cakes." Xiao Tianjian smiled lightly: "It doesn't matter, you can rest if you are not well, but I remember that you are two years younger than me, so early to serve It's not good to be old."

Marshall smiled, but insisted on measuring the flour. Seeing that he seemed tired, Ming Na felt a little sour in her heart, so she hurriedly persuaded him: "Grandpa Marshall, I don't want to eat, so don't do it." Marshall smiled and pushed her out of the kitchen: "Sit at ease, I'll be ready in no time." Then he turned around and went to work. Minna had to give in, but she didn't go outside, she just sat on the small tea table in the corner of the kitchen with a small stool, and helped Marshall to wipe the tea cup as usual.

Xiao Tianjian looked at this scene and didn't know what it was like.

Marshall was originally the youngest son of the old housekeeper of the Cardo family, and Mei Li, who was also a servant, grew up as childhood sweethearts. Everyone thought they would be a couple. But the appearance of Xiao Tianjian took away Mei Li's heart. In fact, Xiao Tianjian knew in his heart that Meili only regarded Marshall as her elder brother, and the latter did not prevent Meili from falling in love with others. He always thought that there was no relationship between men and women. Later, when he saw that Meili and Marshall were getting along well, he also There is a feeling of being deceived, so it will be ignored for many years.

Now he knows that Merry has always been with him, it's just Marshall's thoughts, but he can't figure it out. With his father's identity and Carduo's background, Marshall can have a better future, and it is also possible to become a noble housekeeper. Why is he willing to stay by An Long's side as a housekeeper and a servant? You even have to cook by yourself.

Xiao Tianjian couldn't understand Marshall's intention, but in any case, he never regarded this person as an opponent, but now this person has obviously become a part of this family, and even replaced him to some extent" The role of "Grandpa" made him a little uncomfortable.

A few days later, when Anlong returned to Chidun's house from the mountain where the dwarves lived, he was surprised to find that his father and his family had gotten along very well.

Daughter Ming Na is following her grandfather to learn simple sword tricks; Xiao Tianjian gave his daughter-in-law Dora the precious flower seeds he had acquired during his travels over the years, and helped her make a garden swing; He was very excited about Winnie, who enthusiastically and meticulously taught her more than a dozen gourmet recipes, and highly praised her ability to distinguish fine wines; even the temporary maid Brie received a pair of beautiful silk bows from him. , as an ornament at the May Day ball. If you ignore Marshall, who has rarely appeared in bad spirits recently, almost the whole family likes him, even the neighbors nearby. It is said that several taverns and bars in the city have rated him as the most welcome guest. Several local girls who are just in their prime also wink at him every day.

Anlong's mind is a little complicated. On the one hand, his father seems to have the intention to make up the relationship with him and his family, which makes him a little happy, but on the other hand, his father is again messing around with flowers and drinking, which makes him very angry. Therefore, when facing his father, he couldn't help but sarcastically: "It seems that you are adapting well, you can find fun anywhere, and let me experience your unparalleled charm once again."

Xiao Tianjian coughed lightly and said a little embarrassedly: "This... just a little entertainment, I didn't do anything bad, I have no interest in those little girls at all."

"Is that so? That's a welcome congratulation! Should I be glad they got away with it?"

"Cough..." Xiao Tianjian felt that something was wrong, and quickly changed the subject, "That...you probably don't know yet? Ming Na is learning Qinggong and swordsmanship with me. I think she is quite clever, maybe He will be a master in the future."

An Long didn't know whether to be jealous of her daughter or her father: "Really? I taught her before, but she just refused to study hard. It seems that you are really charming, even a mischievous six-year-old. Girls are willing to listen to you. But unlike Bevin, she's a girl, so don't waste your time!"

"You can't say that." Xiao Tianjian muttered, "Although Ming Na is a little bit worse than Bevin, she still has some talent. She is still young, so she should just play and learn as much as she can. She learns easily, and I teach it easily, anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, so you can just pass the time."

Anlong had a gloomy face, but in the end he didn't object. He knew very well in his heart that a person with ability could control his own destiny more easily than ordinary people. Although this man had all kinds of bad deeds, he did have real ability.

Both father and son were silent. After a while, Xiao Tianjian couldn't help but say: "I almost forgot to tell you, the captain of your knights came once and said that he was going to **** a batch of goods to the northern fortress, soldiers. I'll leave the training to you. Why do you have to be a cameo delivery man when you're a knight? Could it be that your boss is making extra money?"

Anlong knew that the new batch of weapons was ready. The captain would first **** them to the northern fortress, and then the fortress would send people to each army. However, this kind of thing involves military secrets, and Xiao Tianjian, who has been withdrawn from the military and political circles for many years Shouldn't have intervened, he straightened his face and said, "This has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Tianjian couldn't ask questions, so he just smiled, hesitated, and asked, "That...you want to train soldiers, right? I don't know...can I help? You know, I'm not interested in this. Some experience..."

An Long was stunned when he heard the words, and his face became complicated: "This is my mission." He knew that this man was once a famous army commander, and he had taken a group of civilians, mercenaries, caravan escorts and soldiers. The brilliant achievements of training into an elite force in a short period of time, if the other party is willing to help, not only will his task be much easier, but it will also be of great benefit to the protection of the border.

However, he is unwilling to accept the help of this man. Could it be that he can't do well without this man?

"An Long, I know you hate me..." Xiao Tianjian looked at him, "However, you are a smart child and know what is right. Don't let your personal feelings overwhelm your reason. "As long as the child accepts his help, he will be sure to reconcile his son with him.

Anlong looked at him silently, and after a while, he spit out a sentence: "Well, then... I'll trouble you."

Xiao Tianjian was overjoyed. After that, he followed his son to the knight training center every day. In addition to training the soldiers with the training methods he knew, he also formulated a training plan for each person in the knight team, so as to win the victory for his son. Lots of friendships. Anlong's perception of his father has improved somewhat, but his attitude is still indifferent.

Xiao Tianjian didn't care, he carefully instructed his son's swordsmanship, not only corrected several mistakes, but also taught many clever tricks. Anlong's swordsmanship has rapidly improved. In addition to his happiness, he also has a little more admiration for this highly skilled father. Apart from sarcasm occasionally, he also gradually takes the initiative to talk to him. .

But Minna is depressed. Because grandpa is only concerned with teaching dad now, he doesn't pay much attention to her, and it takes a long time to give her a few pointers.

Xiao Tianjian noticed that his little granddaughter was throwing a tantrum, so he smiled and coaxed her while she was resting. Ming Na glanced at him, rolled her eyes, and said, "It's okay if I don't get angry, I want to learn the trick that Dad used just now, which is to use the sword to stir other people's swords and turn them around, then turn around and jump away. "..." She swung the wooden sword as she spoke, and gestured according to her father's movements in her memory, but she couldn't stand firm and fell to the ground, her little **** hurting from the fall.

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly stepped forward to check: "Isn't it hurt? This trick is too difficult for you. You can't learn it yet." look at grandpa. Xiao Tianjian looked embarrassed, so he had to say, "I really can't learn. How about grandpa buy you delicious candy?"

"I already have a lot of candy, and Grandpa Marshall said I'll lose all my teeth if I eat it again!" Minna was unmoved.

It's Marshall again! A trace of displeasure flashed in Xiao Tianjian's heart, and he decided to maintain his dignity as a grandfather: "Then... Grandpa will give you a few interesting little things, just like the mosquito repellent box last time, it's very fun."

Ming Na was a little moved, but said, "But that box was put away by my mother. If you give me something again, she will put it away again. I can't play it at all."

Xiao Tianjian was surprised: "Why did your mother put away things?"

"She said it was a very valuable thing, and she was afraid that I might break it, so she put it away for me first, and then returned it to me when I grew up."

Xiao Tianjian was dumbfounded, so he had to go to Dora to negotiate, but Dora said: "The child is still ignorant, how can she give her such a precious alchemy work as a toy? It's worth twenty gold coins, her father a month The salary is only thirty gold coins."

Xiao Tianjian hurriedly said: "Actually, it's just a very practical daily necessities. If you put it away and don't use it, how can it reflect its value? And it's only valid for three years. It's useless by then, isn't it a waste? Although Ming Na is just playing it, at least she can catch a few mosquitoes."

Dora insisted: "No, Minna will definitely break things and throw them everywhere. Such precious things cannot be played by children."

Xiao Tianjian was a little angry: "It was given to me by my friend. It didn't cost me a penny. I am happy to be a toy for my children, can't I?!"

Dora wanted to say something, but Winnie gently pulled her skirt, and she suddenly realized that although the man in front of her had a very young face, he was actually her father-in-law, and her attitude was too indifferent. After the ceremony, he finally gave in and handed the mosquito repellent box to Xiao Tianjian.

As soon as Ming Na got the box from Xiao Tianjian, she happily pulled him to play together.

This time they found other uses for the box. The few decorative gems are actually switches. When the red one is toggled, the box will emit a faint aroma, so that animals such as snakes and mice dare not approach; toggle the green one, and the box will emit soft and pleasant music, which will induce sleep. ;Pull the white one, the purple light in the box will disappear, just pour half a glass of water and close the lid, the box will vibrate loudly, after a while, just pull the bottom of the box open, Pour out the dirty water and you'll be able to clean off any mosquito blood or debris from the **** tied to the ends of the thread.

Minna was particularly interested in the function of the white gem and tried it over and over again. Xiao Tianjian looked at it and felt a little proud. You must know that it was his idea, although it was based on the washing machine. But to be honest, he was a little speechless about his little granddaughter's curiosity and thirst for knowledge. No wonder his daughter-in-law was worried. Minna not only tested the various functions of the box over and over again, but also poured different liquids such as tea and milk into it to "wash" it, and even threw biscuits or mud lumps in it to test the cleaning ability of the box. He couldn't help but secretly rejoice that the works of old friends are quality assurance and are not so easily damaged.

It's a pity that he said this too early. Within two days, the box broke down, because Minna took the box into the bathtub when she was taking a shower. The poor little box was soaked in water for half an hour and finally couldn't stand it. Living.

Xiao Tianjian comforted his frustrated granddaughter while taking out a new mosquito repellent box from his storage ring to coax her. An angry Dora was about to dry the bad one, and she became angry when she saw it. Xiao Tianjian hurriedly took out another one and said to her: "Don't be angry, I still have it, don't blame the child, she is already very sad."

Dora wobbled, took a deep breath, and turned around angrily. She pushed open the door of the study and angrily said to An Long, "Look at what your father spoiled the child?! Don't you just ignore it?!"

Anlong quickly pressed a piece of paper he was writing on with a book, causing his wife's suspicion: "What are you writing?"

"I'm just drafting an official letter." An Long looked as if nothing had happened, "What happened? Why are you so angry?"

Dora then remembered her purpose~IndoMTL.com~ hurriedly recounted the matter, and said, "It's all your father's used to, twenty gold coins, it broke in less than two days, you My father forbids me to scold my child, and he even took out more things for Minna to spoil!!"

Anlong frowned slightly: "Really? I'll talk to him."

Dora left with satisfaction. Anlong watched her disappear outside the door, and just then heaved a sigh of relief and took out the half-written letter again.

It was a letter written with the special password of the Security Agency. Veronica has been away for many days, and she should have returned long ago, but she has not been seen yet, and no news has come. He was a little uneasy, was something wrong? Thinking that she should have walked with Veronica, if she encountered danger, wouldn't it be her responsibility?

There was another sound from the door. He quickly put the letter away again, looked up and saw that it was his father.

Xiao Tianjian asked him with a slightly flattering smile: "What are you looking at? Did your wife come to file a complaint just now?"

Anlong said indifferently: "Dora also has her reasons. You are too indulgent to Ming Na, which is not good for the child."

Xiao Tianjian touched his nose and said, "It's fine for a child to spoil more, not to mention Ming Na is not a bad child." Seeing his son's face, he hurriedly shrank his neck and left quickly.

The peaceful days passed, and although the whole family was happily preparing for the upcoming May Day, Anlong's worries did not ease. The secret letter sent to the boss has never been answered, and Veronica is still missing. What happened?

One night, a strange businessman knocked on the door of Anlong's house. He not only sent back Veronica, who was seriously injured and unconscious, but also brought the bad news of the destruction of the entire army of the Maicheng intelligence station.
