This is unusual.
But Dectel didn't want to say more, and Jiang Lu couldn't follow up.
So he asked again: "Then what kind of person is our king Conchieber?"
"Did the prophet say something else?" Dectel asked.
"No, no, it's just my personal curiosity."
Jiang Lu replied:
“You know, I’ve been traveling a lot and only recently came back to Ulster, so I wanted to learn as much as possible about Ulster.
And the monarch is your brother. Of course I will need to deal with him in the future. It will not be wrong to understand him earlier. "
"Wait a moment."
Dectel, who had been so angry just now, suddenly turned his head when he heard what Jiang Lu said, and looked directly at Jiang Lu with a serious face:
"Who said you'd have to deal with him?"
Jiang Lu was stunned by this reaction.
"But we are not..."
"Don't get me wrong, we are just underground lovers. Do you know what underground lovers are?"
Dectel sighed:
"I am the Princess Dectel of Ulster who was betrothed to Surtem by my father and was chosen by Luger, the God of Light. Now I am the mother of Cu Chulainn, the hero of Ulster. I have such an identity. , you can’t have a bard as a lover, let alone a husband, do you understand?”
"but..."
"There are no buts." Dectel warned categorically: "You can only be my personal musician, and you have to say so wherever you go, whether in front of the king, in front of Setante, or in front of your friends You can’t tell us about our relationship in front of us, but as long as you abide by the agreement, I will give you whatever you want.”
"This..." Jiang Lu hesitated for a long time, then nodded.
He didn't expect that the script he wrote would turn out like this.
This puzzled Jiang Lu, who had always been unfavorable.
Is my knife dull or my heart softening?
Seeing the heavy look on Jiang Lu's face, Dectel couldn't say anything more and continued to go back to deal with the wound.
Just when Jiang Lu was about to change the topic and ease the suffocating atmosphere, he suddenly noticed something strange.
Perhaps Dektel herself did not notice that there was a hint of panic and fear in her eyes reflected in the mirror.
why?
Jiang Lu was confused.
What is she afraid of? fear me?
Probably not. Before this topic was brought up, she wasn't even angry when I mentioned Luger, the God of Light, in her late husband's bedroom. Even the insulting words I said to her in the study only made her more excited.
She should love me to death.
So who is she afraid of?
Conchieber...
When Conchieber was mentioned, she suddenly became nervous.
She was afraid that I would meet Conchieber, or rather...she was afraid that our relationship would be exposed to Conchieber.
Is she afraid that I will be executed by Conchieber for this matter?
wrong...
If that was the case, she could have just told me that I would die if exposed, but she didn't.
She is afraid that she will be implicated!
Is this involvement really just because of the identity Dectel mentioned?
Jiang Lu thought silently, but except for more and more doubts, he still couldn't draw any conclusion.
He suddenly remembered another thing Dectel said just now——
What had she been through led to her predilection for pain.
So Jiang Lu asked tentatively: "Well... so, your private musician before was also..."
Jiang Lu didn't say it clearly, but Dectel still understood what he meant.
"No, you are the only person who has such a relationship with me. You can rest assured about this."
Dectel lowered his head and said calmly:
"My previous personal musician was named Addison. He is a highly respected bard who is now over eighty years old and now serves as a ceremonial official in the court."
Isn't it because of his criminal record...
Jiang Lu's conjecture was denied, which made him confused again.
Conchieber...
What kind of person is this key figure, Conchieber?
At this time, Jiang Lu suddenly remembered the two good brothers.
Didn't Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon follow Cu Chulainn to see Conchieber last night?
They must have known something about Conchieber.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lu pretended to be happy.
It seemed that he didn't care whether he could stand in the sun with Dectel, as long as he was her only personal musician, he was content.
"I'm relieved about this," he said, "I don't care about the rest."
Hearing this, Dectel was suddenly moved.
She raised her head, looked at Jiang Lu's face in the mirror, and reached out to touch his face gently: "Really, that's great, I thought we would stop here, since you don't mind just being mine. Lover, I also swear to you that I will give you whatever you want."
"All I want is you." Jiang Lu reached out to lift Dectel's chin, lowered his head and kissed her forehead gently.
"But I have to go out for a while now."
"Where are you going?" Dectel asked.
"I'm going to meet my two companions. I think I have to tell them that I found a new job." Jiang Lu replied.
"You have to tell them." Dectel nodded: "I asked the servant to prepare breakfast. Let's go after eating."
"Well, I'd better eat with them."
Jiang Lu smiled and said:
"I missed my appointment last night and didn't wait for them at the tavern. Of course I can't let them go hungry now, otherwise my conscience will feel bad."
"Okay, then be careful on the road, I will ask the servant to prepare a horse for you." Dectel secretly praised Jiang Lu's loyalty in his heart.
"Okay, I'll trouble you then."
When Jiang Lu walked to the door, Dectel suddenly remembered something and reminded him: "By the way, remember not to tell anyone about our relationship no matter what."
"Okay! Don't worry!"
......
Tavern Rooms.
"So you slept with her?" Ghost Faced Fox looked incredulous.
"Yes." Jiang Lu nodded: "I am now Cu Chulainn's wild father."
Chongpao was speechless: "How to do it?"
Jiang Lu pointed to the harp in the corner that he finally dragged back: "It depends on talent."
"I studied history before and said that before the advent of the spiritual realm, musicians could easily date girls. I still didn't believe it. How could actors have such a high status? Now I'm really convinced." The ghost-faced fox sighed.
Jiang Lu corrected him: "Not an actor, but an artist, a singer, and an idol."
"Good good."
When they just opened the door to the guest room and saw Jiang Lu dragging a harp, the two of them were unhappy because Jiang Lu was cheating on them. Who knew what this guy with a mysterious look on his face said, and the news leaked out.
As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Lu said that Dectel would take it, which shocked the Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon for a whole year.
The two of them felt a pity when they thought about the gnashing of Jiang Lu's teeth when they came back from the palace the night before and drank with Cu Chulainn in the tavern.
The capture of Dectel was probably at the same time, right?
Poor kid...
After the opening king exploded, Jiang Lu got to the point: "But this is not the point. The point is Conchie Erb. I feel that Dectel is very afraid of this monarch, and Dectel seems to know something about the curse. What a hidden secret, so I urgently need you to tell me what happened last night when you met Conchieber."
With that said, Jiang Lu told the two of them his analysis and the doubts he discovered.
In fact, if he could, he didn't want to tell what happened last night. After all, Brother Jiang was a decent person to the outside world, and playing poker with the widow was somewhat disgraceful.
However, it would be too troublesome to resolve the doubts he discovered if he didn't tell them all at once.
So after probing and discovering that the two of them didn't seem to have any special opinions about what they were doing, Jiang Lu showed off his cards openly.
After listening to his words, Ghost Faced Fox and Heavy Cannon also fell into deep thought.
"The meeting last night..."
The ghost-faced fox recalled carefully:
"Conchieber asked Cu Chulainn to go back, just to ask about the situation of the war ahead, and then told him that Maeve seemed to have gathered two other countries, and Ulster would soon face a siege from the three countries.
Then Cu Chulainn introduced us to Conchiebo, and Conchiebo also expressed his welcome to us. Anyway, it was just some praises, cakes and other pretentious remarks.
After that, he asked us to join Cu Chulainn's team to resist the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
Finally, we came back and drank with Cu Chulainn until midnight.
As for Conchieber... he seems quite normal and kind, which seems to be somewhat different from the violent image described in history."
"Is that so..." Jiang Lu rubbed his chin.
There don't seem to be any valuable clues.
