Viscount Baihua was still struggling, but his adviser had already come to the door.
"Sir, what do you need from me?"
The first thing the counselor said was:
"Sir, you are in danger."
Viscount Bai Hua's expression suddenly changed and he quickly asked what was going on.
The counselor then spoke and said:
"Then Xu Kuang hasn't shown up for several days."
Viscount Bai Hua smiled and said:
"Isn't this normal? He's been like this every day these days."
But after he left seclusion in the rain last night, he never came back.
Viscount Baihua's expression finally changed. He looked at the counselor and asked:
"Sir, if you have anything to say, just say it. I can bear it."
The man smiled bitterly and said:
"Don't you know where he is going when he leaves Mushroom Ridge now?".
Viscount Baihua's face turned ugly, and he said to the counselor:
"Is this guy planning to file a complaint first?"
The counselor ignored Viscount Baihua's blow and said with a wry smile:
"I'm afraid that's exactly what happened.".
Viscount Baihua finally couldn't sit still and said to the counselor:
"Prepare your horses, I will go to Moriel City immediately."
The counselor smiled bitterly:
"I'm afraid you have to hurry up this time. You can't take anyone who can't keep up with you."
Viscount Baihua did not hesitate at all and only said one sentence:
"good.".
Three hours later, Viscount Baihua left Baihua City quickly.
At this time, Xu Kuang had left Mushroom Ridge for three days.
It has to be said that Longyue Qinghui is really a magical horse. For three consecutive days without a moment of rest, it did not show any signs of fatigue, and its physical strength dropped by 45 points.
Xu Kuang was also generous and fed it directly with magic crystals. When Xu Kuang was sleepy, he would sleep on the horse, and when he was hungry, he would eat on the horse. The people and horses did not stop along the way.
It was precisely because Xu Kuang kept rushing that he was ahead of Viscount Baihua. In just three days, he had already walked four-fifths of the distance.
It will arrive tomorrow, and Xu Kuang did not dare to neglect at all, and walked quickly all the way.
And Viscount Bai Hua was also running wildly alone, with more than a dozen horses, and he was also preparing to stop the horses and the people.
However, he was far behind Xu Kuang. Although Baihua City was closer to Moriel City, it would take at least five or six days to walk all the way.
At this moment, Viscount Baihua was extremely anxious, but it was useless to be anxious. The horse's speed had already been stretched to the limit by him, and any further urging would have the opposite effect.
The next day, Xu Kuang hurriedly changed into a set of clothes and went to visit Count Moriel.
Count Morel accepted Xu Kuang's invitation and let Xu Kuang in directly.
When Xu Kuang saw Count Morel, he was so surprised that he almost forgot what happened here.
Because Moriel is too young, she looks smaller than Hathaway, and she is very beautiful.
Of course, Xu Kuang did not forget the business, but after sighing in his heart, he hurriedly began to explain the situation to Count Moriel:
"The Viscount Baihua saw that I had a way to make money, so he sent an envoy to threaten me. I read his letter, and I felt angry and worried. I killed his envoy in a fit of anger. As a result, he brought people to beat me. However, My men still had some strength and fought him off. I was worried that he would retaliate against me, so I came to ask you for help."
Xu Kuang knelt down with a plop, his nose burst into tears, and he didn't care about his image at all.
Xu Kuang understood very well that now was not the time to worry about his image. After gaining Moriel's trust and the right to fight back legally, he could logically take over Baihua City. If he didn't get this right, he would have run wild for four days. It's of no use at all.
Moriel was also a little confused. She was not a fool and could tell that Xu Kuang was not telling lies, but she couldn't just listen to one side of things like this. She still wanted to hear what Viscount Baihua had to say.
"Why don't you stay here first, and I'll send someone to ask Viscount Bai Hua to confront you?"
Xu Kuang heard this and secretly thought that it was not good. If this was the case, then the opportunity he had gained would be meaningless.
He quickly rushed to Moriel's feet, hugged her feet, used up his lifelong acting skills, trembled all over, and cried loudly:
"You can't just listen to the confrontation between the two of us. You should go to Mushroom Ridge to see for yourself and see the battlefield where the smoke has not cleared. There are 40,000 people. If we hadn't sneak attacked their military camp at night, you would be here now. You can’t see me anymore…”.
"You... let go first.".
Count Morel's pretty face turned red. She had never encountered such a situation before, and she didn't know what to do for a moment.
However, the housekeeper next to Moriel stood up. He pointed at Xu Kuang and angrily said:
"Baron Xu Kuang, please let go, or I will ask the guards to kick you out."
Only then did Xu Kuang let go and looked at Moriel with a harmless look on his face, begging for her help. At this moment, Xu Kuang's acting skills have surpassed those Oscar-winning actors in his previous life and reached the state of perfection.
When Moriel saw such an expression on Xu Kuang's handsome face, she couldn't bear it for a moment. She sighed and said to Xu Kuang:
"Okay, I'll go with you for a while.".
Xu Kuang quickly thanked him.
Moriel blushed and said to Xu Kuang:
"You get up first...".
Xu Kuang stood up, and Moriel had time to look at the man who knelt down as soon as he entered the door.
I saw that Xu Kuang had a tall and straight figure and a handsome face. He had a bit of youthful clearness and a bit of heroism. In short, Count Moriel felt that Xu Kuang was quite pleasing to his eyes.
Moriel thought for a while and said to Xu Kuang:
"In that case, how about we set off in three days? I have to make arrangements, right?"
Xu Kuang smiled bitterly and said:
"It's raining heavily for days. If everything is properly arranged, all traces will be washed away."
Moriel was a little embarrassed, but then she made up her mind and said to Xu Kuang:
"Okay, I'll go with you and wait while I change my clothes.".
Xu Kuang couldn't say anything more, so he just waited quietly. But the housekeeper said nothing during the whole process, and seemed to have no intention of stopping Duke Morel.
Xu Kuang directly clicked on the favorability system and checked the butler's favorability towards him.
It's 80 points, a relatively high favorability score, but in this situation, this favorability score is very wrong.
How could a housekeeper let his master run around with outsiders? Especially a beautiful female lord. Normally, the housekeeper's favorability towards Xu Kuang should be very low, and it shouldn't be so high.
There's something wrong with this guy.
Moriel returned to the house and put on a military uniform. She said to Xu Kuang:
"Let's go, I will only take a team of cavalry. When we get to Mushroom Ridge, you will be responsible for safety."
Xu Kuang said quickly:
"Yes, but the housekeeper should follow you, right? After all, there are some rules that I don't quite understand."
"The housekeeper's favorability towards you has dropped by 80 points and is currently 0.".
