666 Internal and External Troubles

No matter which world you are in, as long as there are too many people who know about one thing, you will definitely not be able to hide it for long.

What's more, Nadette also blocked the entire city and the cavalry went out in large numbers. Not long after, almost all the noble families with great prestigious knowledge of Lux's disappearance.

Because Nadette imposed a curfew, it was certainly impossible for other nobles to send a large number of people out, but some of them were good at operating in the shadows, but they seemed very active. Moreover, three carriages slowly drove towards the city lord's mansion late at night.

After hearing the news in the military camp, Nadette frowned and thought for a while, returned to the city lord's mansion and received the three of them.

Three old men in gorgeous clothes, one of whom was so old that he could hardly walk, his face full of old men was tattooed on the face that was wrinkled like thin paper.

"City Lord, do you need our help?" an old man smiled and said, "If you don't say anything else, my search team is still good. But I don't want to destroy your curfew order."

Nadette shook his head. This sounded kind-hearted, but Nadette knew too much about these old people. As long as he dared to agree, this old guy would definitely treat the chicken feathers as a command arrow. He would not be careful about searching matters at that time, but he would definitely use this opportunity to suppress dissidents and frame them. In the end, these things will affect the reputation of the City Lord's Mansion and destroy the interpersonal and social relationships in the City Lord's Mansion.

The old man with an old man with a face full of old spots was carrying his waist, looking like he was about to die. His eyelids were collapsed like two hanging orange peels: "City Lord, Miss Lux is missing so big, you cannot hide it at will. You should mobilize the whole city to search. If the other party dares to do this, he will definitely make complete preparations. If you are too impulsive, you may fall into the trap of the other party."

Another old man continued: "I agree with Anderson's statement. At this time, it should be time for us to unite in Echo City. Lord, I hope you can allow us to act."

"Thank you for your kindness, three old masters." Nadette still waved his hand and refused: "I have thousands of cavalry and thousands of infantry. If so many people cannot be found, so many hundreds of you can't find them. Could it be... your manpower will be more and stronger than me?"

As soon as the second half of the sentence came out, the three old men stopped talking.

"I have to go to the military camp to command now, so I won't continue to entertain the three of them."

After saying that, Nadette left first.

The three old men left behind. They slowly walked through the city lord's mansion, stood at the door for a while, and looked at each other with a slight regret and helpless expression.

Just as they were about to get on the carriage and leave, officer Judd came to the gate of the lord's mansion, but was told that the lord had just left. He turned around and wanted to leave, but the old man named Anderson suddenly called him.

"Mr. Judd, I want to talk to you about something."

"Please say it." Judd turned around.

“It’s not convenient here.”

Judd looked like a punishment, then smiled and followed Anderson into the carriage.

In the dim carriage, Anderson's voice was low but erratic: "His Excellency Judd, how long have you been in the lord's mansion?"

"It's been ten years."

"Ten years, our Philips family has also supported you for ten years. The workers have been working together for a happy time." Anderson slowly opened his eyes. In the darkness, his pupils reflected light like a wolf: "Now, we want to support you further."

Judze smiled and said, "I am very grateful for your support over the past ten years. So, what does it mean to go one step further?"

"For example, the next city lord is named Judd, what do you think?"

Judd's expression remained unchanged, but his chest was obviously faster. He said slowly: "Lord Nadette is strong and I will be old when he dies."

"Nadette has no son, only daughter." Anderson said in a sad tone: "He spoiled Lux ​​very much. He was obviously such a fair person, but because of his spoiling his daughter, he even relaxed his bottom line of being a human being. It can be said that Lux is his heart and his life."

"What does this have to do with what you said by your elders?"

"What if Lux is dead? You also know that Lux is a man who is cruel and vicious. If she dies, it will be a good thing for the entire Echo City, but for Nadette, it..."

Judd understood what Anderson meant. He took a deep breath: "This is a knight vow that carries me."

"The opportunity is just one time... If you want, I will send someone to secretly assist you. Lux will die in the confrontation between Nadette and the gangsters. If you don't want to... we have other supporters, such as Assh."

Anderson closed his eyes, and the reaction sources that seemed to be like pupils disappeared into the dim carriage.

Judd did it quietly for a while, then he opened his mouth and his voice was hoarse: "Okay, I get it. I accept your support."

"Very good." Judd stood up and took his hand to send Judd off the carriage. Finally, he said softly in the latter's ear: "When you become the city lord, we do not need military power, nor do we need the territory in the city. You just need to pass the forest farm in the northeast to me."

Judd was a little puzzled. The forest farm... this couldn't make much money. Such a small return on profit is nothing compared to what Anderson has paid in the past ten years and the price he is about to pay.

As if he understood Judd's doubts, Anderlin said: "The forest farm is a renewable resource and a good place to produce gold coins for thousands of years. Our Philips family does not value immediate interests, we only value long-term interests."

After Anderson finished speaking, he nodded slightly, and then got on the carriage and left, giving Judd enough face, as if the latter was now the city lord.

Watching the three carriages drive away, Judd stood there for a while, calmed down, and then went to the barracks as if nothing had happened and reported to Nadette.

"I didn't see anyone after searching the whole city?" After hearing Judd's report, Nadette felt a little more anxious: "Where is the suburbs of the city?"

"We have expanded the search scope, but the suburbs are too large and there will be no results for a while."

Some of the big cities in the Francis can even be comparable to a micro country. The area of ​​Echo City is also ranked among the Francis.

In this case, Nadette had to wait. He was so anxious that he was so anxious that he had bubbles on his mouth, but he still looked calm. At least from the surface, he could not tell that he was nervous or anxious.

But when it was lightly dawn, he couldn't wait to go to Nabiya Manor first.

The creed left by the housekeeper said that the kidnappers would be there and negotiate with Nadette.

Nadette stayed there and waited, and the kidnappers were very punctual. When it was light dawn, they appeared, four white robes, one of whom was carrying a woman.

Nadette was a little surprised to see them: "Heavenly Provoker?"
