Chapter 412 Night Talk

When I found out that the stone was gone, I felt completely straight!

Like a water monkey, I twisted around in the water, rolled in various ways, and changed positions, trying to find the whereabouts of the stone I had exchanged for ten gold coins.

I searched inside and outside, up and down, but the eggs and stones were gone.

Zach looked at me puzzled for a while before asking, "What are you looking for?"

I made a few gestures out of thin air: "It's such a big, black stone. Well, it's vaguely transparent. Can you see it?"

Zach shook his head in confusion.

I thought about it and then said, "It's the one I put in my hand before. Oh, by the way, I was lying like this before. Didn't you see it when you came in?"

I repeated the lying position before, turned my head, and looked at Zach expectantly.

Zach wiped his face, thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I didn't see it. When I came in, I did look at your hands and there was nothing on them. Besides, Xiaoyi, I don't know when you got the tattoo." Know."

I chuckled twice and chose to remain silent.

Zach asked again: "Is that stone important? How about I look for it with you?"

I quickly denied it and said: "No, it's not very important. Well, I should say it's not important. Yes, it's not important at all. That stone just recorded a certain period of my life. Well, that's it."

"oh"

Zach smiled, and we fell into a brief silence.

At this time, several other people also came in one after another, and the topic was quickly transferred to other places, and the matter of Shizi was put on hold for the time being.

At night, the masked woman came to climb the wall again.

Jumping outside the hospital, we stood facing each other, and I asked: "Do you have any new information to say today?"

She rolled her eyes at me: "Can't I come over and see you without information?"

"Yes, why not?" I chuckled, "How about we still talk nonsense while looking at the stars like we did before?"

"What nonsense? You didn't say anything at all, okay?" she said angrily.

"Okay, you're right, look at my mouth."

"By the way, have you heard that Clark, the second young master's favorite general, is dead."

"oh"

"Looking at your expression, do you already know?"

"Yes, I understand."

She squinted her eyes and stared at me for a while, then said, "Let me guess who told you, was it Third Young Master Rodney?"

I shook my head: "Stop guessing. What's the use of guessing right? By the way, after Clark died, did the second young master behave in any way?"

"What else could he do? He was very angry, his face was ashen, and he even executed several servants who made mistakes."

"It's the fault of those in power to vent their anger on others," I said, "I feel sorry for the servants who have become victims."

"There is nothing we can do about it." She sighed: "Clark is one of the second young master's more outstanding subordinates. He is also a public figure and has the right to mobilize the city guard. Generally speaking, he is A very important chess piece for the success of the Second Young Master's coup was removed so suddenly, no one can accept it."

I nodded and suddenly said with a bad smile: "Guess who did this?"

The masked woman frowned slightly and said: "It's hard to say. After all, the second young master still has many political opponents. In addition to the eldest young master and the third young master, foreign forces are also threatening their status. If it weren't for the old city lord who is behind it now If we support him, at least two of these three young masters will die."

"Which two?"

"The eldest young master and the second young master."

"Oh? Rodney won't die?"

She shook her head: "This third young master is very low-key and likes to hang out in the underground city with his cousins. He does not seem to be a political or ambitious person. The more such a person is, the lower his chance of survival." The bigger.”

"In short, the Second Young Master's chess piece is considered useless. I don't know who he will find to replace it. Moreover, I don't know who the person who intends to undermine the Second Young Master's power is and what he will do next."

"You seem to be interested in politics~"

The masked woman suddenly approached me, her eyes glowing with allure, and the fragrance from her body drifted into my nose, making me feel relaxed and happy.

I spread my hands and said, "I have no interest in politics or anything like that. I just think about how to save my own lives in troubled times."

"Hehe" she laughed a few times, neither confirming nor denying, just raising her head slightly and looking at the night sky.

The stars are as bright as ever tonight.

She and I looked at the stars back to back for a while, then suddenly jumped up, lightly patted the dust behind her a few times, and said, "It's late at night, I have to leave."

"oh"

She tilted her head and looked at me for a while, then said, "Aren't you going to send me off?"

I smiled: "I'm very happy."

We walked several hundred meters side by side. This time, she didn't say goodbye to me, but just walked quietly.

I felt something was abnormal, so I asked, "You seem to be worried today. Is someone bullying you?"

She shook her head: "Who dares to bully me? I just..."

She remained silent again, leaving half of her words for me to think about.

However, there is a saying that goes well: A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea. You can't catch it, find it, let alone guess it. As long as she doesn't say anything, just wait quietly until she wants to say it.

So, I chose to wait.

After walking for a while, she turned her head and said to me: "It will be at my home not far away. Let's send it here first."

I nodded.

She had just taken a few steps, but turned back and whispered to me: "You must remember to pay more attention to the people around the third young master."

"Um?"

With my confused look on my face, her light figure disappeared into the night.

What does this sentence mean when you say it backwards?

Pay attention to the people around the third young master?

Who will be by Rodney's side?

Harold?

No, no, he is the city lord's man.

Yura?

That's not right. Although she is Rodney's cousin, she is Harold's subordinate.

Who could it be?

It must be those cousins ​​of Rodney, right, and his biological sister, the shy magician.

By the way, do these people deserve my attention?

After thinking hard for a while, there was no result, so I simply stopped thinking about it, turned around, and went directly to the casino.

After entering the gate, Mr. Renn was still playing with poker, whether he was telling fortunes or amusing himself.

Shan Yong and Fatty were bored, playing cards and drinking wine.

I stepped forward and said hello. Except for Shan Yong, everyone else stood in two rows of the venue obsequiously. The fat man even kindly gave me a chair.

After sitting down, Shan Yong stood in front of me and said in a natural tone: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Of course," I said, "Has the Second Young Master come to see you these days?"

He shook his head: "No, if I find it, I will contact you."

"Well, this is best," I said, "I guess it won't be long before the second young master comes to see you."

"Why are you so sure?" he asked curiously.

"It's simple, because his most powerful chess piece was pulled out."
