Chapter 398 The So-called King
Chapter 398 The So-called King
"Heart House?"
It was really unexpected that the other party would ask this question. The person in charge of Hearth House asked me what I thought of Hearth House. Did he want to hear my praise?
Jiang Xun shook his head. He had no interest in flattery.
"In my opinion, Hearth House is just a special orphanage. Well, it is much more cruel than ordinary orphanages."
Jiang Xun was not unaware of this. From the previous conversations with the Linni brothers and sisters, he could infer that the children in the Hearth House would carry out the tasks assigned by the servants when they grew up.
These include, but are not limited to, assassination, liquidation, and intelligence gathering.
This doesn't look like an orphanage at all; it's not an exaggeration to say it's an agent training base.
"You are right. The children of Hearth House are born without the ability to choose light. The meaning of their existence at home is to fulfill their responsibilities and contribute to the continuation of the family."
The servant did not refute. On the contrary, she was happy to hear such comments from the other party. This proved that he had some understanding of the Hearth House and saved the problem of cooperation caused by different ideas.
"How cruel."
"These are the rules of home. If they didn't have a home, they would have died long ago."
Alechino looked indifferent, but Jiang Xun noticed that she was hesitant about this matter when she spoke just now, as if she was thinking about a problem that had never occurred before.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun suddenly asked, "I heard that you took this position from the previous servant, right?"
Hearing this, Alechino stopped thinking, looked up at the stage, and for the first time, his pupils, which were drawing a blood-red oblique cross, showed some fluctuations.
"Yes, but I am a little curious about how you knew this. Most of the Fatui officers don't know this news."
"You don't need to know this. I just heard that the previous generation of servants was killed by her own child, and later, the child who killed her became the new Fourth Seat of the Fatui. The child killed his mother out of hatred and ascended the throne. Am I right?"
Alechino was silent for a few seconds, then he slowly nodded, and in his heart he had a new understanding of the information collection ability of the person in front of him.
"I am not interested in the conflict between the child and the mother, but I know that water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it. If the things Wang does are not popular, even if she is extremely powerful, she will eventually be deserted by her friends and family and end up alone."
"Sometimes letting go is also a strategy. Instead of bringing a group of people who have no ambition to do this, it is better to show the king's magnanimity and make her kingdom more solid."
Jiang Xun ignored the silent servant and started talking to himself.
He did not see the slight surprise on the servant's face, but he could feel that the other's stagnant heart was stirred at this moment.
The power of the original fetal sea is really useful.
With a slight snort, Jiang Xun patted her shoulder.
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. Goodbye, thank you for breakfast, I'll come next time."
She was left standing alone on the street in Fontaine. After a moment, she looked at her right hand, silent.
......
After leaving Arlecino, Jiang Xun was in a pretty good mood. Just a few words made a woman pay for him. Is this what a master of success is like?
At this time, Jiang Xun thought of Qianzhi's house. It had been several hours since he left. He wondered how Qianzhi was doing now and whether the problem had been solved.
So, with nothing to do, Jiang Xun came back here.
As soon as I reached the door, I ran into those three people.
"Hey, where did you come from? Why are you so dirty?"
Jiang Xun tried hard to suppress the corners of his mouth. At this moment, the conditions of Paimeng and Ying could not be said to be very good, but could only be said to be very bad.
The two people's originally fair and tender skin now became dirty, as if they had just been dug out of a coal yard. Combined with the expressions on their faces, it was hard not to laugh.
Chizhi on the side was in much better condition, except that her clothes were a little damaged, but it was nothing serious. She was much better off than the previous two.
"We almost couldn't get out just now."
Paimeng was still breathing heavily as he spoke, but there was still a lingering fear on his little face. He was probably thinking of the scene just now and was afraid again.
“Isn’t this coming out?”
"Hey, are you still talking nonsense here?!"
Ignoring Paimon's impotent rage, Jiang Xun turned his gaze back to Ying, who slowly began to explain upon seeing this.
It turned out that they had just found the source of these newspapers, and it was Usher who paid the newspaper to publish them, and all the photos printed in the newspapers were of his factory.
Upon seeing this, the three of them began to inquire about the location of his garment factory. After some hard work, they finally found a clue, but when they went in, they discovered that the other party had been waiting for a long time.
Not only that, there are also a large number of mechanical guards and mechanical police dogs around.
If it weren’t for the strong strength of Ying and Qianzhi, they would have almost been unable to get out.
"Garment factory? Let me take a look."
Jiang Xunzhao asked the two for a newspaper, and when he saw the pattern printed on the newspaper, he felt something was strange.
Isn't this the place he has been to before?
"Strange, are there a lot of mechanical guards there? There were only a few when I went there, and I took care of them."
Returning the newspaper, Jiang Xun asked in confusion.
But these words were heard by the three people, and then they looked straight at him.
Ying asked stupidly.
"So you are the damned invader that Usher was talking about?"
Jiang Xun: ? ?
"So it was you. If you hadn't secretly gotten rid of the mechanical guards in advance, Usher wouldn't have emptied his family's resources to purchase a large number of illegal mechanical guards, and we wouldn't have been so close to being unable to get out!"
Paimeng seemed to feel that just talking was not enough to vent his anger, so he flew to Jiang Xun's arm, raised his little fist and punched him over and over again.
But the strength was not even enough to tickle.
"Well, it can only be regarded as a coincidence. After all, I didn't know at first that it was the so-called garment factory."
Jiang Xun spread his hands, his tone innocent.
"That's right. Mr. Jiang didn't understand it at first, so this incident can't be blamed on him."
Qianzhi rarely interrupted on her own initiative. Perhaps it was because she had dealt with the villain who was secretly doing something, or perhaps it was because she had resolved this crisis, her mood was visibly better.
"Look, Paimon, the parties involved have forgiven me."
Seeing this, Paimeng, who was still doing useless work, could only retract her fist. After all, she didn't help at all at the time, and she only relied on the powerful force of the two people beside her to escape.
Otherwise, she might have been put into a sack by now, ready to be sold.
