The mercenary who had talked to Rick before quickly walked out. Rick didn't move, and he didn't want to move. Fortunately, the admiral in the carriage was also very anxious. The mercenary had just stepped out of the door with one leg, and the big man with red face had already supported an old man with a vulgar appearance.

This is the Nine Gate Admiral? Rick was greatly disappointed. He didn't expect that the person who managed Boint's city defense would look like this, which was too far from the tall and mighty in his heart.

The Admiral of the Nine Gate and the Red-faced Man both saw Rick. They didn't know him. In fact, in the imperial capital, there were not many people who knew Xia Hua and Permon who actually counted it. Most of them just heard that there was such a person.

"You are the young man who said he had found someone?" asked the big blushing man with a loud voice.

Rick nodded. He was too lazy to answer such boring questions again. Fortunately, the other party didn't care. The little eyes of the Nine Gate Admiral condensed, and he said something as if he was about to breathe for a while and said, "Young man, lead the way!" Rick vaguely saw the light flashing in his condensed eyes, and couldn't help but put away his contempt.

Rick led the mercenary from the mercenary guild, and a group of people came to the large house of the Permon family, which is the current Duke's Mansion (formerly the Marquis' Mansion, Ingus Permon was posthumously named Duke, and naturally became the Duke's Mansion). After being informed by his servants, Qin Xin brought Falli out to greet him immediately. In terms of etiquette, it can be said that he had given enough face to the Admiral of the Nine Gate. The Admiral of the Nine Gate and the Red-faced Man had obviously seen Qin Xin, and they all called the Duchess when they met. Qin Xin was quite surprised to see Rick following the Admiral of the Nine Gate. However, she was very calm and pretended not to know anything. She asked the Admiral of the Nine Gate: "Why will the Admiral be with my uncle?"

"Uncle? You mean it-" the Admiral of the Nine Gate looked at Rick in surprise and said. "He is Master Xia Hua? No, it should be Earl Xia Hua." The Admiral of the Nine Gate showed a flattering smile on his despicable face. Rick could not have imagined that Xia Hua's identity would be so noble, and even the Admiral of the Nine Gate would be flattering.

Qin Xin called Rick over and said, "When Powa rebelled, my uncle was lucky to have not been present, so he was able to escape the disaster. He would rely more on the Admiral in the future."

The Admiral of the Nine Gate hurriedly said, "What are you saying? You should be the one who relies on the Earl." After that, he laughed. However, Rick could not associate his smile with kindness and kindness. He always felt that there seemed to be a mysterious conspiracy hidden in his words, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Qin Xin still wanted to invite the Admiral of the Nine Gate, but the Admiral of the Nine Gate said he would report to Her Majesty the Queen immediately, so he said goodbye immediately without staying for a long time. As for the people from the Mercenary Guild, Rick called him. Rick extended his hand to him, and the other party immediately handed a gold ticket of 99,000 gold coins into his hand. Rick looked at the numbers and asked: "Why aren't it a hundred thousand gold coins?"

The other party cleared his throat and said, "You don't know that whenever you receive a bounty in the guild organization, the guild will charge a handling fee of one percent according to regulations. The handling fee of 100,000 gold coins is exactly 99,000 gold coins. If you just asked the Admiral directly, the 100,000 gold coins can be fully cashed. Unfortunately -"

Rick looked at him steadily, his eyes full of definition words such as "black shop", "trap people", "scammers", etc. The other party was not bad, and the expression on his face clearly stated: the most hopeless person in history, the most shameless person, the most worthy person, the most worthy person, etc. It is no wonder that he defined Rick like this. He has been the head of the Mercenary Guild for decades. He has never seen anyone like Rick who finds his own family but in turn makes money from others.

After the mercenary left, Rick stuffed the golden ticket into Qinxin's hand and said, "If you are short of money, take it first, it is the Queen who is kind to reward it."

Qin Xin stood there in a daze, not moved. She had seen it completely. This guy was completely hopeless. He was so bold that he dared to make money from the queen, and he made so blatantly that it was clearly like blackmail. However, she was a little excited because she was indeed short of money. The Permon family was destroyed in Fenghua City, and there was not much money she and Falli could bring out. She sold the old house in Qingcheng and barely raised 30,000 gold coins to bring to Bowente. She just gave her a salary of 3,000 gold coins at one time. Now this gold ticket can be said to be a timely help for her. She felt a strange feeling in her heart, but after a moment, she suppressed another anger. She called Rick aside and asked, "You went out just now for this?"

Rick nodded and said she was right. Qin Xin's face changed and she almost yelled at him, but she still suppressed her anger. After all, there were servants not far behind her and could only whisper: "If you don't get familiar with these servants quickly, it will be easy for them to see through."

Rick smiled: "Don't worry, since I'm the master, there's no need to ask them for their names. I have my own way to deal with it. If you feel it's necessary, find an opportunity to introduce it to me one by one."

Qin Xin thought about it and felt that he was making some sense. However, she couldn't see Rick's arrogant look the most, so she signaled Falli slightly, and the two of them immediately "bet" Rick into the house, preparing to communicate seriously. Rick really wanted to get rid of them, but there were so many servants present that he could not resist immediately. Moreover, since he agreed to Qin Xin and wanted to act in full, he could only feel wronged and go for "on-site training".

Just as Rick was enjoying the "friendly reception" of Qinxin and Falli, the red-faced man just now rushed to the palace in the north of the city with a carriage. At this moment, Queen Blue Moon was playing chess with the bishop of the Temple of Light. The Admiral of the Nine Gate did not dare to disturb him and kept lying far away. The Queen and the Admiral of the Nine Gate played a game of chess for an hour, and the Admiral of the Nine Gate also waited for an hour without any impatience. By the time the Queen was summoned, it was already dark, and the entire imperial city was immediately illuminated by various palace lanterns, showing a hazy colorful look.

Bowent is near the south, but the weather in winter is still cold. The Admiral of the Nine Gate stood outside for an hour. With his body that looks thin, it is amazing. However, the Blue Moon Queen believes that he is healthier than anyone else.

"I'm so proud to see Her Majesty the Queen." The Admiral of the Nine Gate fell to the ground, fully demonstrating his respect for the Queen.

The red-faced man who met the Queen of Blue Moon with the Admiral of the Nine Gate also had the red-faced man. He gave the military rituals and knelt on one knee and said, "I will see the Queen of Blue Moon for the first time." It seems that he met Queen of Blue Moon for the first time, otherwise he would not have to report his position and name. However, his rough appearance and a generous appearance made the queen a little surprised. You should know that the aide is a military position, usually a wise person, and his official position is generally two levels lower than the person he is loyal to. Zhang Zhi looks powerful and generous on the outside. He obviously gives people an incompetent impression. However, the queen is not interested in such trivial matters as big as sesame and green beans. She waved her hand slightly to let the Admiral of the Nine Gate and Zhang Zhi stand up.

"Your Majesty, I have just received the exact news that the wife and brother of Duke Gus have returned to Boint and are waiting for the queen's summons." The Admiral of Nine Gates bowed.

"Are you sure?" Queen Blue Moon asked, sitting upright.

"I am sure."

"How could Gus' younger brother not die?"

"According to the Duchess, when the Permon family was attacked, Xia Hua Permon, the younger brother of Duke Gus, was not at home at that time. Therefore, he was able to escape the disaster."

"Is that?" the queen said happily, "I have always been worried that there will be no successor to the Pemon family. It would be a pity that this is. Since Gus' younger brother is not dead, I have lost a little regret."

"This is your Majesty's great blessing."

The Blue Moon Queen smiled and asked again: "How are they settled now? The Permon family was robbed. Although Gus's wife escaped the disaster, she must have suffered heavy losses in terms of property."

The Admiral of the Nine Gate said with gratitude: "Your Majesty's concern for his subordinates, I believe that if you know the Duke Gus underground, you will be grateful. Your Majesty rests assured that only a few guards of the Duke's Mansion have left, and the others have been waiting for the Duke's return, so they have settled down. As for the property, the Duke's Mansion has just received 100,000 gold coins, so it should be no problem to maintain the expenses of the entire mansion."

"Where did the 100,000 gold coins come from?" the queen asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, you once offered a reward of 100,000 gold coins to look for the Duchess. As soon as the lady came back, the Duke's younger brother went to the Mercenary Guild to claim to have found the Duchess and received the bounty of 100,000 gold coins."

"Oh?!" Queen Blue Moon had never heard of such a strange thing. This Xia Hua Peimon actually made money to his own head. However, from another perspective, he did this in line with the rules and immediately resolved the current embarrassment of the Pemon family. Of course, this approach is also very arrogant.

The queen's face did not move and said, "Since that's the case, let the Duchess rest for a day, and I will summon them the morning of the next day. Before that, I will give you their safety."

The Nine Gate Admiral should have bowed and left.

Queen Blue Moon walked out of Mu Xueting and walked towards the imperial study. Before leaving, she instructed a palace maid behind her to go to Dugu Yinhong, deputy captain of the Xuanmi Love Team of the Ministry of War to see her.

Zhang Zhi came to the Duke's Mansion one by one and one horse, and conveyed the Queen's will to the next day to summon her and Xia Hua and Peimon. After conveying the will, Zhang Zhi suddenly asked with concern: "You must have lived a hard life in the past few months?" It seems that he and Qin Xin are old acquaintances.

Qin Xin touched her lips slightly, and said with a smile or emotion: "I finally got through it, what about you? It seems a little different."

Zhang Zhi smiled helplessly: "Instead of having a false reputation as a captain of a hundred cavalry in the Ministry of War, it is better to be a errand-running staff member in the Admiral's Office, at least have a formal place to settle down." (To be continued...)
