Weird story about rules: I rely on magic to kill people

Chapter 32 Windsor Castle (31)

"benefactor!"

After Xu Zhinian finished speaking, Sidney looked at her with reverence.

She is his savior!
……

Xu Zhinian just smiled, did not respond to Sidney, and walked to the door instead.

She reached out and grasped the door handle tightly, pressed it down gently, and then pushed the door open.

The countess was walking towards them in the corridor not far away. Xu Zhinian walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

*
"Countess, what a coincidence." Xu Zhinian waved his hand and greeted her.

The countess looked into the distance and saw Xu Zhinian, and answered her perfunctorily: "Well, hello, Miss Longguo."

The Countess answered without stopping.

Her purpose was very clear, she was here to find Sidney, so she continued to approach Xu Zhinian's room.

Seeing this, Xu Zhinian stopped hiding and walked directly to her side and asked again: "Countess, what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Sidney," the countess pushed Xu Zhinian, asking her to step aside and not block the way: "He is in the house, right?"

Xu Zhinian nodded: "Yes, he is inside."

The countess nodded silently and stretched out her hand to open the door.

Xu Zhinian greeted her with a smile and stopped her: "Is it because the countess came to him to give birth to piglets?"

Upon hearing this, the Countess was no longer anxious and asked Xu Zhinian: "You also know?"

Suddenly, he remembered that he had met Xu Zhinian at the north wall just now, and he said with a look of enlightenment: "Oh, you heard us talking there just now, right?"

Just when she thought her guess was right, she reached out again.

Xu Zhinian interrupted her in time, shaking his head and explaining: "No, I already knew what happened there. Even Sidney knew about it, and I told him!"

At the end, Xu Zhinian deliberately increased his tone and emphasized it.

Hearing what she said, the countess looked Xu Zhinian up and down quickly, staring at her with doubtful eyes: "Did you tell him?"

"Well," Xu Zhinian nodded lightly: "It's me."

This time the countess no longer wanted to reach out and open the door.

She thought: If Xu Zhinian knew something first and then told Sidney in Coconut Country, then it seemed more reliable to go to Xu Zhinian.

Especially just now, Sidney took her on a long circuit.

Too unreliable.

She paused briefly and then spoke again: "I originally wanted Sidney to take me to the scene. Since you discovered it first, then, Miss Dragon Kingdom, you can take me there."

Xu Zhinian cupped his hands and clasped his fists: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!"

*
"Why don't I understand what Sister Xu wants to do with all this trouble?"

"Me too. But Sister Xu must have her own thoughts when she does this!"

"Let me take a bold guess. Sister Xu is trying to collect information on how the countess poisoned her and want to find a countermeasure?"

……

In fact, Xu Zhinian didn't know where the pigsty was, and when he led the way, he was walking blindly.

The countess followed her closely behind her. Seeing that the direction she was leading was the garden, she asked in surprise: "Miss Longguo, are you sure this is the way to the pig pen? Why do I feel that this is the way to the garden..."

Before she could finish the question, Xu Zhinian rushed to answer: "The countess is right, this is the way to the garden."

"What!?" The Countess immediately stopped, her expression sinister and angry: "Xu Zhinian, are you kidding me?"

Xu Zhinian glanced at the countess with his peripheral vision. Looking in her direction, veins suddenly appeared on the countess's face. Her skin had begun to become rough, and it seemed that it was about to become strange...

She smiled and patted the countess on the back and walked forward: "Where are you talking? How dare I play tricks on you, madam! I took you to the garden to find the gardener and ask him for help to get the lights from the pig pen." That shiny thing!”

"Really?" the countess calmed down her anger and asked doubtfully.

Xu Zhinian nodded with certainty: "Really!" "Sister Xu is always cheating!"

""real""

……

In fact, only the first half of the sentence is true.

She didn't know the exact location of the pigsty in the castle, so she had to ask her "old friend" the gardener for help.

For the sake of the count and the former countess, and his "daughter," the gardener would probably help her.

I originally wanted to help Sidney settle this matter, firstly out of loyalty as a teammate, and secondly because I wanted to have more contact with the current countess.

Observe when she chooses to poison, what poison to poison, and how to detoxify...

She smiled and continued to lead the way.

The countess kept urging her, and Xu Zhinian had to speed up his pace.

When the two walked to the garden, the old gardener was watering the flower beds with a kettle.

The countess was humming from afar, making a "cough, cough, cough" sound.But the gardener was a bit blind and deaf, so he didn't know anyone was coming until she and Xu Zhinian approached him.

Holding back her anger, the Countess followed Xu Zhinian to the gardener, and then the gardener saw them.

Turning around, he saw Xu Zhinian for the first time. Just as the gardener was about to ask, "Why are you here again?", his eyes suddenly turned to the left and he saw the Countess.

He was so frightened that he seemed to have lost his soul.

The countess snorted "kekekeke" several more times before the gardener came back to his senses.

He quickly put down the kettle and saluted the Countess: "I have met Madam."

"I wonder if Madam came to the garden to ask for something from me?"

……

"I'm laughing, the current lady coughed and coughed for a long time, and the gardener didn't even hear or see her."

"Gardener: I'm old, my ears and eyes are not good, so don't cue."

"It's so funny, look at Sister Xu's expression."

It has to be said that gardeners are not very good at eye-catching.

The countess glanced at him, feeling very unhappy, and pretended to say: "Why, as the mistress of the castle, I can't come to the garden if nothing happens?"

The gardener waved his hands anxiously: "Of course not!"

"You are the countess and the mistress of this castle. Of course you can come as you please..."

"Stop flattering," the countess interrupted him, turning around and staring at Xu Zhinian: "What do you want to do with the gardener? Tell him and do it quickly. If you want to help or not, don't wait any longer."

Xu Zhinian raised his voice and pulled the gardener aside, and the two chatted quietly.

Gardener: "Miss Long Guo, why are you here again? Even if you bring the countess, my daughter can only be my daughter."

Xu Zhinian covered his face: "What are you talking about? I'm here to ask you to take us to the pigsty."

"Pigsty?" The gardener was startled, his voice suddenly became loud, and he suddenly realized and covered his mouth: "What are you doing in the pigsty?"

"It's a long story..." Xu Zhinian curled his lips helplessly: "In short, I do all this for the earl and the original lady. So, please help me."

"I……"

The gardener looked at Xu Zhinian and saw the innocent expression on her face, and his heart skipped a beat: "Okay!"

Xu Zhinian nodded to him, and then walked back to the countess.

She said loudly: "Well, uncle gardener, take your tools and let's go to the pigsty!"

"Ah?" The gardener reacted and pretended to pick up the garden shears from the ground: "Madam, Miss from the Dragon Kingdom, please come this way."
