She didn't know where she should go. She had lost all face anyway, so why did she care about this?
She ran aimlessly along the road south.
She didn't know why she ran here, maybe because it was here that she was rescued by Matthew.
At that time, Matthew had a vassal under his command, Baron Fran.
Sistine's father offended Baron Fran and was killed by the baron's housekeeper. Poor Sistine was also targeted by the baron.Just when she fell into despair, Matthew appeared and not only saved her, but also helped her get revenge.
From that day on, Sistine followed Matthew wholeheartedly.
She knew that she was from a humble background and never expected much.All she wanted was a little tenderness, even the false tenderness after rough possession, but unfortunately there was nothing.
She wants to go home.
Although she no longer has any relatives in her family, it is her home after all.
Sistini ran thirty miles without looking back, and finally returned to her old home.
She has almost never been back here since she moved into Matthew's mansion.Looking at the mottled door of the old house, Sistini burst into tears, unable to control herself with sadness.
Pressing her hands on the door of the old house, she opened the door with the key tremblingly.
When she walked into the courtyard, she didn't notice that it was neatly tidied, nor that there were flowers and plants growing in it.
Now she just wants to find a place to cry loudly.
Just as she walked into the bedroom and lit the oil lamp, she finally came to her senses.
Something's wrong, there's obviously someone cleaning here!There are no cobwebs in the corners and no dust on the table.
Who is it?
She felt a chill on her back and turned around suddenly, only to see that lovely yet hateful face.
Matthew was standing not far behind her, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Sorry, I should have paid attention..."
He was only halfway through his words before he couldn't finish them.
Sistine threw herself into his arms and covered his lips with her slightly cold lips.
The head maid flicked her finger, the oil lamp went out, and the room fell into darkness.
The corners of her mouth raised slightly. Although the room was dark, her heart was exceptionally bright.
PS: Six chapters were updated today, and there are still 32-4=28 chapters left.
Chapter 068
The morning light awakened the sleeping city of France.
To be precise, there is very little rest time in this busy port city. Even late at night, there are cargo ships coming in and out of the dock.
Matthew's light tax policy allowed more and more merchant ships to use this place as a transit node for Southeast Asia.
Unlike other lords who were short-sighted in charging high transit fees, Matthew was eager to pay merchants to pass through his territory.
Business is the circulation of money and goods. As long as there are people willing to come and goods are transferred, are you still worried about not making money?Even a tiny place like Singapore can make a lot of money. Matthew is sitting in Port Franca, so he can naturally follow suit.
As long as the guiding ideology is correct, the road will be extraordinarily broad.This dilapidated port, which had been plagued by Baron Fran for many years, gradually developed into the second largest port in the southeast of the empire within three years.
Like Port Franca, Matthew and Sistine were busy last night.
Some things become addictive once you try them, like the thing they fell in love with last night.
After enjoying the ultimate happiness, Matthew suddenly felt that his more than 20 years of life were in vain.
If he could do it all over again, he would have held Sistini in his arms long ago.
Fortunately, it is not too late.
Holding the head maid, who was as soft as a cat, Matthew closed his eyes tightly and enjoyed the lazy feeling of the sun shining on his body.
Sistine curled up in Matthew's arms. Although her whole body was aching, she was surrounded by a feeling of happiness.
There was resentment and grievance on her brows during the meeting last night, but now these emotions have disappeared.
She didn't envy Surante at all. Although she was robbed of her first time by this guy, so what, Matthew last night was really great.
She just couldn't figure out why Mr. Matthew was so unfamiliar last night, and he couldn't even find the door home as if he was drunk.
Although she still wanted to sleep a little longer, it was already three o'clock in the morning and the diligent head maid had to get up.
Matthew left a soft kiss on his cheek, and just when she was about to stand up, a big hand reached out from the side and dragged her into the bed.
"Ah, Master, there will be team coordination training this morning. It's time for us to set off."
"It doesn't matter, there's still more than an hour, there's still time."
"But..."
"I'll fly you there later." Matthew interrupted her hesitation.
Sistini wanted to say something more, but her lips were blocked and she couldn't say anything.
No matter, since Matthew likes it, let's continue.
After Baron Fran was killed, the Sistine family's old house occupied by him naturally fell into Matthew's hands.
Baron Fran's misbehavior gave Matthew a reason to deal with him.
After all, Baron is a serious title. If he has not committed rebellion, there is really no reason to deal with him.
However, he charged high transit fees at the port, which led to stagnation of commercial exchanges and prevented Matthew from making money, which seriously trampled on Matthew's bottom line.
Offending Matthew is nothing, as long as he sincerely apologizes or pays compensation, it can be solved; but blocking Matthew's financial path is definitely a dead end.
From the moment Baron Fran blocked the implementation of Matthew's business revitalization strategy, he was included in Matthew's death list.
The death of Sistini's parents was the straw that broke the camel's back.
As an elector, Matthew has a strong claim to all the baronies in the territory (only one). After learning that Baron Fran killed a well-known scholar (Sistine's father), Master Ma became furious. He summoned a meteorite to kill Baron Fran, and revoked the baron for the legitimate reason of [this meteorite was divine punishment].
Anyway, he is the elector. He has the final say in the territory of more than 3000 square kilometers, and no one objects.
Baron Fran's son might object, but no one cares about a powerless loser.
This old house is Sistini's last spiritual comfort. Matthew has been sending people to clean up and clean the place, just to give Sistini a surprise one day in the future.
Last night, this surprise finally came true.
Although it was a bit inappropriate, with the cat in Matthew's arms, Sistine, who had a blushing face, still sighed quietly: "It's great, but it's a pity that Sister Surante got there first."
Matthew looked at Sistini in confusion and asked puzzledly: "What do you mean by preempting? Don't mind it. After she awakens, she will only be purple like you. The next time you awaken, she will be purple." With the gold level, she should be envious of you.”
Sistini raised her small fist and hit Matthew's chest angrily. She bit her lip and said in embarrassment: "You know what I'm talking about, how long do you keep pretending? I know I don't have the right to be angry. But you have to hide it from me, which makes me feel so uncomfortable."
Matthew looked at Sistine's resentment and looked confused. A woman's heart was so difficult to understand, and he had no idea what she was talking about.
Apart from awakening, is there anything else that puts Surante ahead of Sistine?
Facing Sistine's resentful look, Matthew decided to cheat.He grabbed Sistine's shoulders, and his burning eyes made the head maid look away shyly.
"Honey, tell me what you're thinking. There's no need for guessing between us."
Sistini sighed softly and whispered: "That night, we all saw..."
Listening to Sistine's story, Matthew was stunned.
No way, although the castle is small, it's not so evil, right? He carried Surante into the room and was actually seen by so many people?
No wonder Sistini and Shirley were behaving a little strangely during this period, that's why.
Matthew put Sistine's hand on his chest, with a solemn expression and a serious tone, "My Sistine, I will only say some things once, please listen to me. There is nothing between me and Surante that you can think of." That relationship.”
"Why did you only leave your name on the service list you gave me? Don't you think about it?"
Seeing Matthew's serious expression, Sistini also panicked. She hugged Matthew tightly and whispered softly:
"Sorry, I..."
"I know that you are afraid of losing because you care too much, right?" Matthew held Sistine's cheek, his voice as soft as the warm wind blowing from the sea.
Sistine looked up and saw Matthew's sincerity.
Yes, what a ridiculous misunderstanding.After three years of getting along, doesn’t she still understand Matthew?The misunderstanding was resolved and she felt a little better.
Thinking that this morning's training was about to start, and she would be laughed at by her sisters if she didn't go, Sistine reluctantly pushed Matthew's arm, bit her lip and whispered softly:
"We are really going to set off. If the master wants, we will continue tonight."
Matthew pressed his slender fingers on Sistini's lips, smiled and shook his head:
"First of all, you are not allowed to call me master in the future, call me Matthew."
"Secondly, you need to get some rest tonight."
"The days are long and we don't miss tonight."
Chapter 069 Anzi training troops
On the training ground, Andre wore a light samurai uniform and tied his long hair into a bun. He enthusiastically told the contractors standing in line about the basic team tactics taught by [Hidden Sword Master].
"Squad fighting is completely different from fighting alone. If we fight individually like we did against the Demon Bear last time, the result will inevitably be 1+1<2."
Before he could speak, Reina answered angrily: "But 1+1 is obviously equal to 2, you don't know how to do math."
It's not easy to meet someone stupider than herself, and Reina will not miss the opportunity to ridicule Andre.
Andrei: "..."
His handsome face turned red, and when he saw the other contractors suppressing their laughter, he flew into a rage, pointed at Reina and shouted:
"Who allowed you to speak without reporting? Get out of the queue!"
Reina was stunned. She turned her gaze to Matthew, who was also standing in the queue, and asked, "Master, what should I do if he asks me to step out of the queue?"
Matthew glared at her angrily, Are you a stone-head? Now Andre is the instructor, of course you listen to him!
"He is an instructor and carries out orders!"
Of course Reina obeyed Matthew's words and hurriedly got out of the queue.
Andre glanced at her, pointed at the giant stone hammer next to him, and said coldly: "Go and lift it a hundred times. The movements must be standard."
Since Matthew had already told him to listen to the instructor, Reina naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly ran to lift the stone hammer as required.
Seeing Andre's serious expression, Matthew nodded secretly.
This guy is pretty good, he looks like a grandson training the maids for King Wu.However, these maids are all contractors, so he cannot be pushed out to kill Liwei.
Just when he scored high on Andre, Andre's next sword accurately hit his heart.
"Matthew, who asked you to speak in the queue just now?"
Matthew was stunned for a few seconds before subconsciously saying: "It was Reina who asked me first, so I..."
He was interrupted by Andre mid-sentence, "Shout a report before you speak!"
Matthew quickly stood up and shouted: "Report, I just forgot it, it's my fault."
Andre nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Yes, you are the lord and the supreme commander of everyone. But in this team, you are a recruit undergoing training like them, do you understand?"
"Report, understand!"
Okay, this time it's completely back to the recruit training when I was in college.
But Matthew wasn't angry. It would be wrong if Andre couldn't treat everyone equally.Since he was the instructor he invited, he naturally had to obey the arrangements.
After Matthew finished answering, Andre nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the oversized barbell next to him and said: "Squat with the barbell one hundred times, execute it immediately!"
How could Sistini watch Matthew being wronged, but as soon as she wanted to stand up, Matthew stared back.
Andre did fine.
Each of these contractors is more powerful than the last, but they have never received formal military training. It is time for them to hone their skills.
Only strict discipline can create an elite team capable of fighting.
Matthew's gaze made Sistine retreat into the group and remain silent.
Of course she knew that Andre did nothing wrong, but she was a little unhappy because Andre was so harsh on Matthew.
