After the Legend Chapter 40: Frido’s Bar

In order to find out the truth, Xiao Tianjian simply picked up his granddaughter and quickly left the store. He still has a house in this town, not far behind the shop, just across the road, but this is a remote place on the outskirts of the street, and there are no neighbors around.

The house is very big, with a large courtyard. The house is white with gold edging and carved, with an onion-shaped roof. The courtyard is densely covered with flowers and plants, but they are all half-dry, and it seems that they have been left unattended for a long time. The beautifully shaped fountain is covered with moss and the water is dry. carcass of fish.

Ming Na covered her nose and walked across the pool, into the living room, and saw her grandfather wandering around the room, trying to find the traces of the people who used to live here, so she found a sofa by herself and removed the dust cover Big white cloth, sit down and wait.

Although the furnishings in the room are covered with dust, they can still be seen to be gorgeous. All the vases, decorations, clocks, candlesticks, furniture, etc., are not ordinary objects. The crystal wine glasses and white china in the cupboards, even a little girl like Minna, knows that they are very expensive things.

The sofa she is sitting on now is made of some animal skin. It is moderately soft and hard to sit on. No one has taken care of it for so long, and the surface of the leather still has a faint luster. And the carpet under her feet is woven from scenes from ancient legends and stories of the Light God Sect. The lines are vivid, the colors are rich, and the characters are lifelike. When you reach out and touch it, it feels fluffy and very soft. I don't know what material is used? Ming Na remembered the rug in her Edun house. It was bought by her mother from Maiton with great effort. It only woven a simple flower and grass pattern. It was said to be expensive. ?

However, is this really Grandpa's house? Ming Na looked at the light pink or lavender gauze curtains fluttering in the wind, and the delicate silk embroidered pillows on the sofa. No matter how she looked at it, she felt that this place was more like the house of a noble lady as her mother said.

But in the middle of the living room hangs a portrait of my grandfather. It should be his home, right? In the portrait, the grandfather is wearing a black robe with a stand-up collar and buckles. I don't know if it's Weisha's or Nuojia's clothes, but the hem of the clothes is embroidered with long animal patterns with gold thread. Ming Na remembered that Grandpa once mentioned that it was the totem of their family, an oriental mythical beast called "dragon". She didn't understand why the creature, called a dragon, looked different from the dragons she knew, but admitted that it did look imposing.

While holding her head, she was thinking about why this house seemed to be occupied by women, when Ming Na saw her grandfather pounding down the stairs, and hurriedly greeted her: "Is anyone there?"

"No, but there should have been people living here half a month ago." Xiao Tianjian looked a little anxious, "The master bedroom has probably been unoccupied for a long time, but there are traces of people's activities in the servant's room, and there are leftovers in the kitchen. Some flour and food, judging from the degree of decay of the meat, the servants have only been away for about half a month, which is about the same time as the people in the business." He glanced at the situation in the living room and thoughtfully: "Although I don't know why they They left suddenly, and I don't know who took them away, but it doesn't seem like they resisted, and the other party didn't have any idea of ​​hitting the things in the house..."

"So...are those people good people?" Minna asked.

"I'm not sure about this." Xiao Tianjian pondered for a moment, then said, "I know who might know the news, you wait here, I'll ask someone." He turned around and walked out.

Ming Na rushed up and grabbed his clothes: "I want to go with you! I don't want to stay here alone!" She didn't want to experience the nightmare of being found in the secret room again.

Xiao Tianjian looked down and saw the determined look on his granddaughter's face. He knew that the child must have had a heartbreak because of his experience in Nomonka. Thinking that she had seen a lot of things with him, and that he was protecting him, he probably wouldn't If someone hurt her, she relented and agreed.

Ming Na happily followed behind her grandfather and re-entered the street. She turned several corners before she came to a building. There was a signboard of "Friedorph" hanging on the door. She knew at a glance that it must be a pub or bar or something. After pushing the door in, the scene in front of her confirmed her guess.

However, unlike the pubs and bars she had seen before, this store was very large. Although it was broad daylight outside, the interior of the store was dimly lit. All lighting was oil lamps or candles, so there was a kind of smoke filling the air. Choking made her cough twice, and soon, she smelled a strange fragrance again, and felt a little confused.

There are many customers in the store, all sitting around the round table, but here are not ordinary tables and chairs, but large sofas, on which the men are spread, stretching their limbs comfortably, touching each other Wine glass, talking in a low voice. About 20 beautiful women with graceful figures and revealing tulle dresses shuttled through the crowd, bringing drinks or food to the guests, occasionally flirting with people, and their long jade arms wrapped around like snakes. around the necks of men.

As soon as Xiao Tianjian walked into the store, he attracted the attention of some customers. As he got closer and closer to the counter, more and more people turned their attention to him and stopped talking. The store was silent for a while. .

Standing behind the counter is a man who looks only in his twenties. He is tall and slender, with a rare fair complexion. His facial features are handsome. Compared with the strong and dark-skinned men around him, there is a kind of lethargy. The beauty of femininity that one cannot articulate. He was wearing a Wesher robe made of black silk, with a pair of slender white hands showing at the cuffs, and a palm-length silver jar flexibly turned between his fingers.

As soon as he saw Xiao Tianjian approaching, he stopped the movement in his hand, with a meaningful smile on his face, raised his hand and said hello: "My esteemed Count, it's been a long time, Frido greets you. Greetings." There was a peculiar rhythm in his tone, as if he was singing, which Minna thought was very nice, but why did that tone make people feel awkward?

Xiao Tianjian stopped in front of the counter: "It's been a long time indeed." He glanced around. Almost after Friedo had finished greeting, people began to whisper something, and they looked at him strangely. , It seems to have some gloating or watching a good show, is there something he doesn't know happened?

As he thought about it, he smiled: "I haven't been here for a few years. It's rare to see so many friends again. It's an old rule. I'll treat everyone to a drink and ask for the best wine." He threw out a bag. gold. Ming Na recognized that it was the purse in the secret room of the Nomonka branch. There were twenty gold coins in it. She opened her mouth and said nothing.

Friedo whistled: "You are so generous, how about a glass of ice and fire wine per person? I heard that your business is the largest ice and fire wine underwriter in the mainland."

Xiao Tianjian smiled and acquiesced. Two more whistles came from the surrounding crowd. Then two people stood up and bowed to thank him. He smiled back. However, the others just watched, with meaningful smiles on their mouths, exchanged glances, and made no sign of it, which was completely different from the situation where many people thanked him or toasted him in the past. Xiao Tianjian once again affirmed that something must have happened.

A glass of wine was brought up, the men were in a good mood, and the rewards were generous, and the women seemed to be more enthusiastic. A beautiful girl in a pink vest and a purple gauze skirt swayed her slender waist, and her jade hand climbed onto Xiao Tianjian's shoulder, almost sticking to it: "Generous guest, how about a drink from me?"

Minna smelled the pungent perfume on her body and fanned the wind with her hands in disgust. Friedo chuckled: "This is the new Sasha, our trump card, Lord Earl, haven't you seen it before?" Xiao Tianjian glanced at him unmoved: "I have something to ask you, let the unrelated people Go down." Friedo smiled and said softly to the girl, "Do you hear me? You are not qualified to serve this guest, get out."

The beautiful girl's face changed, and she straightened up and walked away. Minna dared to breathe vigorously. Frido ignored her and asked Xiao Tianjian, "What do you want to ask?"

"Where did the people from my business go, and where are the people who live in my family? Who took them away half a month ago?"

"You are such a humorous person." Friedo covered his mouth and smiled, "I'm not one of your people, how do I know where your family members are? Hehehe..."

Ming Na suddenly shivered and felt goosebumps all over her body. This person is really weird.

Xiao Tianjian's face turned cold: "You are the biggest intelligence dealer in Murray. Do you not know what happened in this town? I wonder how the underground duke would feel when he heard that from his subordinates?"

"Hehehe..." Friedo laughed a few more times and waved his hand, "You are too humorous, the Duke of the Underground has gone underground, how can you feel?"

Xiao Tianjian's face is almost frosted: "What do you mean by that?!"

"Hehehe... Your Count, you are so smart, you don't really understand what I say, right?" Friedo put on a smile that he managed to hold back, but his face showed sarcasm.

Ming Na thinks this person is really annoying. All the people she has met who run taverns are very welcoming to her grandfather and treat her very well, but this person, although he looks good, speaks in an odd manner Yes, grandpa spent so much money here, why does he still mock grandpa?

As she slandered, she suddenly felt a powerful aura emanating from her grandfather Xiao Tianjian, approaching Frido, and at the same time emitting a part of it on other guests. The hustle and bustle in the store fell silent again, and everyone felt the hero's power.

Xiao Tianjian knocked on the counter inadvertently and said indifferently: "It seems that I haven't been here for a long time. Everyone seems to have forgotten who I am, thinking that I can only stand here because of the power of the Duke."

Friedo was pale, his forehead was sweating, and his hands were shaking slightly. He hurriedly lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry, I offended."

Only then did Xiao Tianjian take back his aura. Seeing the admiration in the eyes of the little granddaughter next to him, he raised his mouth and said to the young man behind the counter, "It's inconvenient to speak here, let's change the place."

Friedo hurriedly responded and led him to the back of the store. Minna quickly followed. As soon as they disappeared from the sight of everyone, they caused a heated discussion among everyone in the store, and many of them were thinking about their own thoughts.

Minna followed her grandfather and Frido to a small room at the back of the store. It seemed to be a bedroom. It had a completely different style from the previous one. The plant, with light yellow flowers the size of rice grains, exudes a faint fragrance in the sun.

Friedo asked Xiao Tianjian to sit down and was about to pour tea, but he stopped him: "No need, you answer my question first."

"Yes." Friedo stood carefully in front of him and replied respectfully, "The people in your business and the servants at home left Murray fifteen days ago, and they were picked up by a group of fresh faces. Armed with weapons, many of them are masters. I can't find out where they come from, but from what they say and act, they should be Easter's men. The steward in your store gets along very well with them, it seems that they are with them. It's an appointment."

Xiao Tianjian was slightly relieved, but when he heard Frido say "but", he became nervous again.

"But Mrs. Ziya in your family left that house three years ago and took her maid and a few guards to the oasis ten kilometers west of Murray. She drove there. Pubs, restaurants and casinos, because they do not have to pay taxes, attract a lot of people to play there, and their business is very good.”

Xiao Tianjian frowned: "Three years ago? Why didn't I know?" He didn't care much about that woman, she was just a singer given to him by the underground duke, and he had nothing to say about her feelings. He had already helped her sell it. The cheap membership gave her a large sum of money and let her live in his mansion. Now since she took the initiative to leave and has her own career, he doesn't have to worry about it too much. But this feeling of being kept in the dark is not a good feeling. Why didn't the business people mention it to him?

"I heard that she had some disagreements with the people in your firm. You haven't come back for a long time, so you left."

Xiao Tianjian nodded and asked, "What about the Duke? Is he really... dead?"

"Yes." Friedo replied cautiously, "It was seven days ago. His nephew colluded with those Norga people and set a trap when he came to Murray to inspect, After being poisoned, he arranged for an ambush. He was... but one of the guards escaped and went back to Westard to expose his nephew's conspiracy, and the guy killed himself. To seek justice, the duke's men and The Nuojia people had a fight, and the boss over there died in the chaos. No one in Westfield is in charge of the overall situation, and the chaos has become a mess. There are also several groups of people in Murray, but the market is still good. Peace."

Xiao Tianjian frowned, somehow remembering what he overheard in Nomonka: "His nephew is unreliable, I already knew it, but how could he be so easily fooled?" That person Always shrewd, I can't believe he just died like this.

"This... I don't know. There were several batches of goods that had an accident that day. The boss of the duke thought that I and the other people in charge were ineffective, so he whipped us and sent them to find out the situation. I didn't follow..."

Xiao Tianjian's face changed, he did not continue to ask questions, just asked where his old friend was buried, Friedo's head dropped lower: "The corpse is in Wester, not yet in mourning..."

Xiao Tianjian was stunned. Although he knew that when that person died, his subordinates would definitely fight over who would inherit the huge underground kingdom, but he didn't expect that he would not even hold a funeral. With a faint anger in his heart, he stared at the young man in front of him. This Frido was also that person's capable subordinate~IndoMTL.com~ I didn't expect that the master had only been dead for seven days, and he actually dared to be rude to himself as an ally of the old master.

Friedo felt the murderous aura on Xiao Tianjian's body, and his hands trembled slightly again, but he just gritted his teeth to support himself, thinking that he couldn't let him kill him no matter what.

At this time, Ming Na said, "Grandpa, that duke...is that the friend you said gave you the house?" Her question greatly reduced Xiao Tianjian's murderous aura, and there was even a faint expression on his face. Smile: "That's right, it's him. We used to drink together a lot. Although he was ruthless towards the enemy, once he recognized you as his friend, he would help you think about everything and be generous. He was a very nice guy. people.”

Minna felt a little pity: "Why did he die? I really want to see him..."

"Yeah..." Xiao Tianjian pondered for a moment, then said, "Ming Na, I'll send you back to my house later, you just stay there and don't run around, I'm going to Westfield. I'll ask this person to deliver the food."

Friedo was overjoyed and was about to say something, but Minna interrupted him first: "No! Is Grandpa leaving me again?! I want to go with you!"

"Be obedient!" Xiao Tianjian showed a rare stern look, "There will be fights at any time, not a place for children! Just stay in the house for me, and wait until I have a funeral for my friend. I will come back and take you away! If you are really sensible, you should be obedient!"

Ming Na bit her lip and stared at him. After a while, she nodded: "I know, I will be obedient..."

(Cough... I'm going to abuse again tomorrow~~~ But after the abuse, there will be a happy time~~ There are so few messages in these two days, is there really nothing to say?)
