[This chapter, 13,000 words!! It exploded! Now I have the confidence to ask everyone for recommendation votes!]

The last sentence was determined and shocked Lan Lan.

She looked at Chen Daolin in surprise, as if it was the first time she recognized him.

Facing Lanlan's eyes, Chen Daolin felt a little painful in his heart. He took a deep breath, tried to raise a smile, and then tried to keep his voice calmer: "Can I leave now?"

Lan Lan opened her lips, but she still didn't say a word.

Chen Daolin glanced at her deeply, took Barossa's hand, turned around, and headed south.

There were originally a samurai from the Tulip family around him. When they saw the two of them leaving, they seemed to hesitate for a moment and did not come up to stop them.

Chen Daolin's steps were getting faster and faster. After walking about ten steps, he suddenly heard a sound from behind him: "Wait a minute!"

Lan Lan tightened her body and felt a warm body pressing on her back. Messiah's palm resting on her shoulders. Lan Lan turned her head and Messiah smiled at her. The afternoon sun was shining on her face, with soft curves on her face, but her eyes were as deep as the sea.

The Messiah cried softly.

Chen Daolin naturally heard it. Although he didn't want to pay attention, this place was someone else's place. After hearing the voice of the Messiah, the Tulips warriors came up and blocked their way.

Chen Daolin looked extremely ugly, turned around, looked at the Messiah, took a deep breath, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart: "May I ask, do you have any advice?"

Messiah's face was still pale, as if her spirit had not fully recovered. She looked at Chen Daolin, then looked at Lanlan beside her, smiled, and whispered: "Old Daling, I just woke up and realized what happened last night. These are all my lack of control and offended you. I'll apologize to you here."

As she said that, she raised her hand to Chen Daolin seriously and bowed seriously.

Chen Daolin was a little surprised. He didn't expect that this big man from the Tulips family would really bow to such a small character.

The Messiah looked calm: "I heard that you were treated unfairly last night with my subordinates. I have heard about this matter briefly. I will definitely give you an explanation."

"Geyan." Messiah's face was calm and she shouted softly. Geyan immediately walked from behind to the side of Messiah and lowered her head and said, "Young Master."

"It was yours, call people." Messiah's face was neither happy nor angry, and her tone seemed to be very plain.

However, Ge Yan's expression changed and she couldn't help but say, "Young Master, I've taught me a lesson last night..."

The Messiah frowned slightly and didn't speak. She just squinted her eyes and looked at Geyan. Geyan suddenly showed fear on her face. She quickly closed her mouth, bent down and took two steps back.

He took a deep breath helplessly, turned around and walked away.

In less than a moment, Ge Yan brought Charlotte back.

Charlotte went straight to the Messiah and knelt there on one knee. This guy was arrogant before, but now he was trembling and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Your name is Charlotte, right?" Messiah pondered for a moment: "Northwest?"

Charlotte took a deep breath, raised his head, his face nervous: "Yes."

The Messiah's tone seemed calm, as if she was not angry at all: "Did you acted without permission to commit this guest?"

"..." Charlotte closed his mouth, as if he didn't know how to answer.

Ge Yan interrupted, "Young Master, he is also worried about your safety. You were unconscious at that time. He just wanted to leave Mr. Daling to ask clearly, so as not to..."

After Geyan said this, the Messiah suddenly laughed.

Such a smile appeared on her face, but her brows were frowning, and her tone seemed to be very relaxed, and she said lightly: "Well, Ge Yan, I can't ask about your person, right?"

This light sentence suddenly made Ge Yan look like a slight look. He shook his body, quickly retreated, lowered his head and said, "No, I dare not!"

"You dare very much." Messiah sighed, still kind and said calmly: "As the leader, if you hadn't been disciplined strictly and indulged in their behavior on weekdays, how could he dare to act arbitrarily, be arrogant and bully others with power?"

Ge's complexion became increasingly ugly.

But the Messiah no longer looked at Geyan, but looked at Charlotte in front of her again: "I will only ask you one question. You should know that when we set out from the Elf Tribe, Mr. Darling was already a guest invited by the family to accompany us, right?"

"...I, I know." Charlotte gritted his teeth.

"Well, since you know it's a guest, where did you dare to do so randomly?" Messiah chuckled and said, "Is it because he has the title of "Tulip House" above his head? You know, Mr. Darling is our guest, and you dare to face each other with swords. If you are an ordinary stranger, wouldn't you do it even more out of the ordinary?"

Speaking of this, the Messiah finally turned her head and looked at Ge Yan: "As the leader, how did you deal with it?"

"I..." Ge Yan's face was pale, and cold sweat came out of his forehead.

But he was here for a long time but couldn't say anything.

He originally wanted to say "I will punish you when I go back", but the young master of the family who is famous for his intelligence is not a fool. If he says such a deceitful word, he will probably make the young man angry.

"Well, it seems you didn't deal with him." Messiah nodded, her face was still calm, without showing any anger, and said lightly: "Since you don't deal with him, I'll do it for you. What do you think?"

"No, I dare not!" Ge Yan finally knelt down on one knee, his palm trembling slightly.

"Well." Messiah thought for a moment, looked at Charlotte and said lightly: "I know that the family is powerful. You who are outside are proud of your family and are proud of your family. You are inevitably more arrogant in your actions. These are also human nature. But the family has already set rules. If you rely on your family's identity and act recklessly, you will be punished according to the clan rules. Since your leader is soft-hearted and does not punish you, then I will do this."

"Young Master, Young Master." Charlotte trembled, raised his head and argued loudly: "I, I was just worried about the safety of the Young Master last night, so I... "

The Messiah smiled, and looked at Charlotte and said softly, "You are a little clever, but do you know that if you honestly admit your mistake and be punished, the matter will be over. But you still have to be clever. Using such an excuse to make excuses, I will only think that you are a person with a bad mind!"

She looked at Charlotte's face, suddenly smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll convince you."

She looked at the two Tulip guards around her and said lightly: "Come here."

The two guards around him immediately walked up and stood beside Charlotte with his hands hanging down.

"I ask you, after Mr. Darling was brought back last night, I heard that you were left to sit in front of the fire for a night, not allowed to walk around or give him food and drink. Is there anything like this?"

The two of them hesitated for a moment, but in front of the young master of the family, they finally had no courage to lie and nodded one after another.

"I was just curious. Last night, I fell into a coma. You were anxious and confused. Except for the people who were keeping the guard post, the rest of them were guarding my tent. But I didn't expect that you two would have such great leisure. Thinking of Mr. Darling, staring at Mr. Darling." The Messiah smiled faintly: "I just wanted to ask, why are you so 'hearted'?"

The two men's faces suddenly became ugly.

"Is it because of the leader of Geyan who told you to do this, and to take a closer look at Mr. Darling, and to remind you not to let him walk around and not to give him food and drink?"

The two of them were shocked and quickly shook their heads and said in unison: "There is no such thing! Brother Geyan never did this!"

"Well, then I'm curious, how can you have such consciousness?" Messiah said lightly: "Everyone cares about my safety and guards my tent, but you two stay by the bonfire and stare at Mr. Darling. Can you explain this thought to me?"

The two looked at each other, and finally the man on the left raised his head, looked at Charlotte first, gave a look of apology, then took a deep breath, and faced the Messiah: "Young Master, don't dare to lie in person! It's... Brother Charlotte told us to do this, and he said that Mr. Darling offended him, let us... give Mr. Darling a little bitterness."

The man on the right nodded as well.

"Yeah." Messiah sneered: "You two are wrong, you will get the punishment later."

She looked at Charlotte again: "Are you convinced? Do you still want to say it is out of public interest?"

Charlotte's expression was so hard to see, she lowered her head: "I..."

"You are domineering and bullying others. Although you violate the clan rules, I will punish you at most. However, you have done something wrong and intend to use such cleverness to cover it up with high-sounding excuses. I will not take such mental skills!" The Messiah said lightly: "You have such cleverness, but you don't have to be on the right path. If you do something wrong, the harm will be greater."

Charlotte trembled, raised his head, looked begging, and hurriedly said, "Young Master, I, I did it wrong! I... I'm asking the young master to read..."

"Do you think about your hard work for many years?" The Messiah interrupted him lightly, then turned his head to look at Ge Yan, and found that Ge Yan was also looking at him but stopped. She frowned and said, "Ge Yan, do you also ask for love?"

Ge Yan hesitated for a moment, finally raised his head and asked, "Young Master, although Charlotte is a little too extreme, he has worked for the family for many years, and has been through life and death, and has no credit and hard work..."

"So, do you think you can make up for the merits, right?" Messiah sighed. She looked at Geyan, her eyes gradually became colder: "Geyan, you actually have this idea, which really disappoints me. I came north this time and wanted to see how this trade route is doing in the north. The managers at home have recommended you to me, saying that you are bold, meticulous, smart and capable, and are a talent. But your approach really disappointed me!"

The Messiah's tone gradually became heavier: "You are lenient with your subordinates, and I won't say about you for your lack of discipline. But this idea of ​​making up for merits makes me disappointed with you! Do you know that my Tulip Family can establish itself in this world. Unlike other wealthy families, my Tulip Family has always been the most rules! When my ancestors founded the family, they left behind a message that there is no order without rules! Unfortunately, you all have forgotten them one by one!"

Her eyes were full of pity: "You probably think that Charlotte has been working for the family for many years. Now that he has made a mistake, he has to enforce the clan rules. It is too unkind, right? But I ask you, in the family, who has not served for many years! Who has not been born and died for the family? If he has made a mistake, he has to be merciless, then what's the use of clan rules!"

Her voice raised a little more, and her tone was even heavier. She said angrily: "As the leader, you make a mistake, you don't punish him, but you just want to make things easier! Improper! If you do this to you, what's the use of rules? Since the rules are established, they are used to implement them! It's not for you to make things easier!!"

Geyan's forehead was covered in sweat, and he lowered his head deeply, not daring to see the Messiah's face.

"Are you the leader like this? I'm really disappointed." Messiah shook her head.

She stopped looking at Ge Yan and looked at Charlotte: "According to the clan rules, you will be fined for half a year and you will be demoted to the third level. You don't have to do the caravan work anymore. After going back, go to the Military Law Department to declare yourself, and then go to the northwest to raise horses! If you make another mistake, you will be dismissed! If you perform well within three years, you will be able to climb again and slowly."

She finished speaking in one breath, squinting her eyes: "Are you convinced if I punish you like this?"

Charlotte's face was ashes, and he felt very depressed.

You should know that since he became an adult, he has been in the private army of the Tulip family. It has been more than ten years since he was promoted to the level of the deputy team. The private army of the Tulip family has always been treated very well, which is a little higher than the regular army of the empire and the private army of other noble families. What's more, the trade route of the Frozen Forest in the north is even more afflicted. It took him so many years to finally get to this position. The north trades in and out of the Frozen Forest once, and the private hunting can receive the goods for a year! The business trips are two or three times a year, and this income makes the old colleagues in the family's private army envious.

But now, the young master said he would punish him and he was reduced to three levels in one breath. This was almost a one-stop victory! He also lost his position as a caravan in the northwest and sent him to raise horses in the northwest...

What is there in the northwest? Just the barbarians on the grassland, what kind of oil can there be for selling cattle and sheep?

Charlotte felt very regretful, and the more he hated Chen Daolin. But the Messiah was right in front of him, and he didn't have the courage to do it again. He just lowered his head, trembling, and did not dare to look up, and did not dare to let the young master see his expression.

"Young, young master..." Ge Yan looked unbearable: "Is this punishment too severe..."

He knew that the young master was already very dissatisfied with him, but Charlotte had been following his old subordinates for several years. Even though he was trying to make the young master angry, Ge Yan couldn't help but ask for a word.

Although Ge Yan was wrong in this regard, he was indeed quite good to his subordinates and brothers.

The Messiah glanced at Geyan, but she didn't get angry anymore, and said lightly: "Geyan, what do you want to say?"

"He... our brothers in the caravan also work with their heads in and out of the frozen forest for the family. Even if Charlotte makes a mistake,..."

"As the head of the family, I naturally know that everyone has worked hard." Messiah looked at Geyan and said seriously: "But the family has never treated everyone poorly. Brothers in the northern caravan have always been treated the highest in the family. The family also allows you to take private goods back to the country for sale in the name of the family. These things, one by one, are all the rewards for everyone to work hard for the family. The family has never owed everyone! If you have any credit, the family has already rewarded them! Then when you make a mistake, use these credits to speak, Geyan, do you have any brains?"

The Messiah was really angry. She looked at Geyan and was angry at her for not fighting. Before she came north this time, she had carefully read the files and materials of the Northern Commercial Road and learned about some situations. The manager of the family also focused on recommending a few capable people from the north. Geyan was one of the people who was strongly recommended.

But today's incident deeply disappointed the Messiah. Even though Geyan has many advantages in other aspects, no matter how smart, capable, bold and meticulous he is, he can only see that he is so rewarded and punished and is not strict with his subordinates. Such a person is definitely not worthy of reusing.

Geyan was scolded by the Messiah and finally sighed, not daring to tell the difference.

"As the leader, Ge Yan is not strict with his subordinates, and he will be fined for half a year of salary." Although the Messiah said this, he made sure to pay attention. After returning, this person must not stay in such an important place as the northern trade route.

I am about to inherit the title and take full control of the family's power. In the Messiah's mind, this northern trade route plays an important role in the future development of the family. Such an important place, people like Geyan must not be placed here.
