During the days of recuperation, Chu Tian was in pain and happiness.
After being carried home, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who had just learned the news, came to visit Chu Tian in person.
The affectionate eyes, gentle and considerate words, and Serena's meticulous care made Chu Tian completely fall into the tomb of love. Xiaobai surprisingly did not find trouble with the princess, but followed Serena back and forth. Water delivers medicine.
Ludi III even canceled the court meeting the next morning, personally visited Chutian with a large number of gifts, and expressed in front of the accompanying ministers:
Marquis Fradino is the pillar of the empire. He must be treated well and strive to recover as soon as possible and continue to contribute to the empire!
The chief palace priest, Marquis Vladino, was assassinated, and the ministers and nobles of the empire also learned the news immediately.
Originally, these bureaucrats just sent servants to deliver some nutritional supplements and the like.
But after Lu Di III expressed his importance to Chu Tian, Chu Tian's Marquis Mansion never stopped having guests.
Seeing the dignitaries in Yanjing greeting him and seeing the thick gift lists in their hands, Chu Tian's recovery process was immediately extended several times.
And Chutian's old friends were even more concerned about Chutian: Kanas was busy searching for the murderer in Yanjing day and night.
Damar ran to Chu Tian's home and said that he would protect Chu Tian personally. At the same time, he also expressed his gratitude to Marquis Fradino to teach him some more ways to be an official.
Dior, on the other hand, stopped teaching in the college and served the teacher with all his clothes on, acting like a filial son!
The only thing that surprised Chu Tian was that Reggie, his best friend, never showed up. Speaking of which, he was assassinated because of the playboy's dinner...
Now Chutian is lying on the hospital bed, his body covered with bandages, teasing Xiaobai while receiving the visiting Right Minister Andor.
"Haha, Mr. Marquis has been lucky this time. He is still safe and sound in such a dangerous situation. It's really gratifying!" The smiling Andor is still the same as before, with a kind face.
"Praise the goddess of life. Maybe the goddess felt that there were still many important things for me to do, so she saved me at the critical moment."
While he was talking nonsense, Chu Tian's mind recalled Dirk's sudden appearance that night. The time of Dirk's appearance was such a coincidence, and the alley where his accident happened was far away from the right-hand Prime Minister's mansion. Any reason to be there late at night.
Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Chu Tian still showed his gratitude to Andor: "I bother you to visit personally for such a trivial matter. I am really ashamed of your right minister."
"What are you talking about? Now you are the pillar of the empire. Even His Majesty has many things to rely on you. It is right for me to come to visit."
Andor leaned forward, as if to observe Chutian's wounds.
But all he found was bandages all over his body and the pungent smell of medicine.
He sighed: "The injury is really serious!"
Chu Tian smiled secretly in his heart, I will be fine a long time ago! However, for the generous gift, the injury had to wait two days to heal!
Andor looked at the bleeding bandage on Chu Tian's body again, and asked casually: "Those imperial troops in Yanjing are so incompetent that they can't even catch an assassin! By the way, Vladino, do you have any?" Any clue?"
"I was very drunk at the time. How could I have any clues? I didn't even see what the assassin looked like!" After saying that, Chutian lowered his head and patted Xiaobai, but his eyes were secretly fixed on Andor.
However, Andor's expression did not change much, and he still said with a smile: "That's it, that assassin is really advantageous. Then I won't bother you, you can rest in peace and cultivate yourself, His Majesty is still waiting for your service!"
After saying that, An Daoliu stood up, said goodbye, and left the ward.
Watching Andor walk out of the room, Chu Tian narrowed his eyes, but secretly thought in his heart, could it have nothing to do with him?
Since being injured, Chu Tian has been amassing money in the name of recuperating from his injuries, while also thinking about recent events:
I have only been in Yanjing for three months, and I have not made any enemies. There is no reason for me to be assassinated!
If I had to find some reason, it would be that when I pursued Princess Serena, I offended many young nobles, especially Anderson.
However, there is no need for Andor, the most suspicious, to get rid of himself for the sake of his son's affection.
If it hadn't been for him, Dirk's timely appearance would have been unexplainable.
Thinking of this, Chu Tian suddenly had a flash of inspiration and realized that he had missed a big problem.
Shout: "Page, come in!"
After Chutian's incident, Lu Di III cursed the generals of the Yanjing Guard Corps.
It is really a shame for Caesar's cavalry that a dignified imperial official was assassinated under the emperor's eyes.
Therefore, Ma Keli, the war minister in charge of the entire [***] army, proposed to strengthen the protection of Chu Tian, and dispatched thousands of guards to follow Chu Tian based on Chu Tian's title.
This is already Macori's limit. You must know that even a marquis with a territory can only recruit a private army of three thousand people.
After Chu Tian learned the news, he immediately thought of Page, a captain who had left a deep impression on him, and named him to serve as captain of the guard.
Hearing Chu Tian's call, Page immediately opened the door and came in, "Sir, what are your orders?"
Page, the captain of the guard, is still very dedicated. Ever since he was assigned to Chu Tian's subordinates, he has been inseparable from Chu Tian. He even slept outside Chu Tian's door. This made Chu Tian sigh that he had found a good labor force.
Chu Tian motioned for Page to sit down, and then asked: "Haha, it's nothing serious. I just want to ask, are you familiar with the right minister's butler Dirk? He is the old man who showed up the night I was assassinated."
"Replying to your lord, I can't say that I am familiar with him, but I have some understanding. Dirk often follows the right minister to the military camp for inspections, so most of the officers in the guard regiment know him..."
Chu Tian nodded, very satisfied with Page's answer, and then asked: "Then what is his strength? What level of profession is he roughly?"
"His strength?" Page was stunned for a moment and replied: "Dirk is just an ordinary old man."
"Ordinary people? Is it possible for him to hide his strength?" Chu Tian still refused to give up.
"It shouldn't be possible. There are many experts in the guard group, but they don't even feel that Dirk has magic or fighting spirit!"
Although I don't understand why the Marquis asked such a strange question.
But Page still answered Chu Tian dutifully.
"Oh, that's okay, you can go back first!"
Paige left the ward, but Chu Tian was even more confused: Paige couldn't lie, so Dirk couldn't be the murderer.
In this case, Andorra's suspicion is much smaller, so who is going to get rid of him? !
Can't think of it! Chu Tian shook his head.
"Woooo..." Chutian, who was still deep in thought, was brought back to reality by Xiaobai's cry.
Looking down, it turned out that Xiaobai had a small medicine jar in his mouth, swinging on the soft mattress and crawling to his ear, blinking his big eyes to remind himself: It's time to take medicine!
Taking the medicine jar and throwing it into the trash can, Chu Tian rubbed Xiao Bai's head, "My injury has been healed long ago, there is no need to take medicine!"
After saying that, seeing that Xiaobai was still unwilling to give up, Chu Tian curled his lips again and said proudly: "Don't forget, I am the eighth-level great priest instructor!"
"Woo!" Xiaobai rolled his eyes and looked at Chutian angrily, his angry eyes seeming to say: Don't think I don't know the origin of your professional title!
"Marquis Reggie is here to visit, sir!" While Chu Tian was still comforting Xiao Bai, Peppa Pig's voice came from outside the door.
Following his voice, Reggie, the scumbag, strode in, "Haha, boss, why are you so unlucky! You can be assassinated even after drinking!"
