Chapter 196 Separation
There is only one main road in and out of Xiangmu City in the south, but it splits into four roads at the port, each leading to a city gate.
Each city gate has an inspection post, where a team of soldiers with live ammunition stand to check the pass or residence permit of people entering the city. Those who don't have it need to explain the purpose of entering the city.
In fact, the inspection is just a show. The soldiers don't care what you do in the city. As long as you pay the money, you can enter.
There are many people waiting to enter the city in front of the South Second Gate, but these people are expelled to the edge.
The entire South Second Gate is lined with knights wearing black leather armor or armor, with resolute and cold faces, cold eyes, and the symbol of the family emblem on their right chest.
The knight sword is tied around the waist, and the black metal scabbard is shining with a cold luster. They don't say a word and are neatly arranged in a battle formation of hundreds of people. There is a strong murderous atmosphere around them.
"Why did the Soros family's knight team appear here?" A fat man who looks like a merchant asked the captain of the soldiers checking the door in a low voice.
Although the captain knew the fat man, they were just nodding acquaintances. He opened his mouth to say something.
However, after seeing the fierce-looking one-eyed knight standing in front of the knights, he made a simple gesture to keep quiet and glared at the merchant sternly.
It seemed that he was welcoming someone, not a big deal, but he didn't dare to say it.
One-eyed Ente was a ruthless man. He had been in Xiangmu City for only half a month, but he had suppressed the two nobles, Savoy and Bach, and made them obedient.
He also killed some forces that tried to do something wrong to the Soros family's spice processing factory.
Among them was a long-established knight.
The fat man's curiosity was not satisfied because he didn't get any information. He was a little disappointed, but he could only shut his mouth.
But he didn't leave, but stood aside and waited.
Most of the other people who were expelled from the city walked away with unhappy faces and lined up again at the other three gates to enter the city.
They were all bad guys, cursing and cursing, and in their hearts they cursed the Soros family from top to bottom. Some of them even planned to force their way in, but they resisted the urge after they felt the murderous momentum of the knights.
At the same time, they were also curious about who the Soros family knights were welcoming with this scene.
Ten minutes later, several carriages slowly drove in.
Clang!
The city gate was usually a noisy place, but at this time, the crisp sound of long swords being unsheathed was clearly audible. The knights drew their swords in unison, saluted solemnly, and their eyes were bright.
Because the carriage was the master of the family they were loyal to.
With their right arms across their chests and the swords pointed straight up, the knights spread out on both sides to form a passage.
This was the ancient knight etiquette, which was a greeting salute from the subordinate knights to the object of their loyalty.
The fat man was beating his heart.
The others were also shocked, and there was silence at the scene.
This sudden battle was really shocking. Xiangmu City had no traditional nobles, let alone a knight team that still adhered to the ancient knight etiquette. Everyone saw it for the first time.
The captain was startled, and his right hand subconsciously reached for the revolver on his waist, but the moment he made the move, a ray of murderous intent was firmly locked on him.
He broke out in a dense sweat on his forehead, and his whole body was stiff and dared not move. He smiled flatteringly and moved his hand away.
Lu He did not get off the carriage.
The window was opened by Nicole, and he nodded slightly to the knight team, and said lightly that he would enter the city and stopped talking.
He was still very satisfied with the knight team of the Soros family in Xiangmu City.
They were in good spirits and full of momentum, and they were faintly filled with bloody murderous intent. Even if there were only a hundred people, their actual combat power was estimated to be no weaker than five times the number of enemies.
As the convoy and the Soros family left, the city gate was noisy and lively again.
The fat man also left with regret. His curiosity was not satisfied in the end. He stood on the right side of the convoy and did not see who was in the carriage.
Someone saw it, and the captain saw a pair of red eyes and black hair through the window.
Obvious signs of the Soros family bloodline.
"So it is Count Sauron who is here..." The captain frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice.
He paid special attention to the Soros family. He knew that this generation of the Soros family had only one master, the Imperial Count Sauron. Combined with the actions of the knights, the answer was obvious.
After a little thought, the captain asked a sergeant next to him to take his place temporarily, and then left in a hurry.
He knew that the news would soon spread throughout the city.
...
Entered the city.
Viscount Phil was going to his old friend.
Therefore, Lu He had to part ways with his newly recognized good sister Sisi.
"Count Sauron, thank you for your care these days. I will come to visit you when I have time after I finish dealing with Sisi's affairs."
"We are now relatives. We must visit each other more often in the future!"
Viscount Phil expressed his sincere gratitude.
It's not that he is hypocritical. Anyone who is with such a powerful family will do the same.
Although the process is a bit inexplicable, the specific reason is still unknown.
But this does not prevent him from expressing his joy.
He suspected that Sauron coveted Sisi's beauty, but later he felt that it was unlikely.
A powerful earl can get any beauty. As long as he calls, he can line up from the beginning to the end of the city. He can be the groom every night, and the bride is never the same all year round.
He didn't see the man's unique possessiveness in Sauron's eyes. In addition, Sauron also sent three knights to protect him.
If you really want to pick up his daughter, the cost will be too high.
"Viscount Phil is very polite. You and Si Si are welcome to come at any time. I should be in Xiangmu City for a while. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me."
Lu He smiled and nodded, rarely saying a lot. Then he looked at Du Tan and said solemnly:
"Knight Dutan, protect my sister, don't let her get hurt at all!"
"Yes, head of the family!"
Du Tan's eyes narrowed, and after receiving the order, he led two Earth Fire soldiers, one in front and two in back, to stand around Si Si's carriage.
"Count Sauron, thank you!"
"Then we'll leave first."
Looking at the three knights who came over, Viscount Phil's face flushed and he was very excited. With them, the safety in Xiangmu City was greatly guaranteed, and he could even do whatever he wanted.
The gray carriage gurgled and turned its wheels, slowly leaving towards another street next to it.
Sisi poked his head out from the car window and stared intently at the carriage where Lu He was.
Seeing that only Nicole greeted her, she couldn't help but feel a flash of disappointment in her eyes, but then there was a slight softening.
Mark also drove away.
The Soros family has a manor in Xiangmu City.
The manor covers an area of nearly a hundred acres and is surrounded by dark and towering walls more than five meters high. Every few crenellations have a family flag fluttering in the wind.
There are guard towers at the four corners of the wall, and various defense facilities at regular intervals.
The innermost part is the residential building.
The iron chain rolled and stretched, the tall iron gate was pulled up, and the motorcade arrived directly in front of the main house without stopping.
Lu He stepped out of the carriage.
In front of the main gate of the main house, two rows of beautiful maids and upright servants stood, all saluting him.
"Master, you are tired from the journey. I have asked someone to prepare lunch. Please enjoy it."
Accompanied by the butler Luo Guli, Lu He walked into the hall on the first floor. The entire hall was bright and brilliant, with long dining tables neatly arranged and a variety of expensive delicacies placed on the table.
There was also a line of musicians standing next to him, and as he came in, he immediately played beautiful and light music.
Lu He naturally sat at the top.
Ent, Fleet, Rudy and others who followed closely behind also sat down in an orderly manner.
The first one on the right is Rudy.
He is the family knight in charge of the Soros family spice factory in Xiangmu City. Lu He met him for the first time.
A gentle-looking middle-aged knight.
He has a shaved head, wears a red outfit, and has a meticulous expression and posture, giving people a very energetic feeling.
At the gate of the city, Rudy was the first to draw his knight's sword and led the knights here to salute him and show their allegiance.
Next to Rudy is Fleet.
He was the second knight who was successfully promoted to the knight level in Lu He's will experiment, and he was looking at him enthusiastically at this time.
The first one on the left is Ent.
He was still immersed in the group of black-armored knights outside, unable to extricate himself, his one eye filled with excitement and shock.
Unlike the other two, he knows the goods.
Because they were all unfamiliar faces, he was very wary. He had sensed their aura at close range. Although he couldn't tell the specific rank, it gave him a great sense of threat.
It's unbelievable.
You must know that he is following the promotion path of knights in ancient times. The ordinary knight level will basically not make him feel any threat, even if he faces multiple people at the same time.
Could it be...
Thinking of this, Ent felt excited.
