Lord: Married To A Countess At The Beginning
Chapter 23 Holding The Countess And Riding A Horse
Just as Gray expected.
Orders for cement and green bricks are increasing every day.
Gray doubled the price of cement and bricks the next day.
Harry and others secretly scolded Gray for being shameless.
But when Gray said that they could enjoy the previous friendship price, they praised Gray for his righteousness and his conscience among capitalists.
The industrial zone is under construction in full swing.
Because of the addition of Little Yellow Riding Hood, businessmen were extremely dissatisfied with the work efficiency of the coolies composed of fake refugees.
So Gray took away the fake refugee prisoners and assigned the little yellow hats to work on other lands.
Gray asked the little yellow hats not to be lazy when working, especially when building the dormitory building. They should repair whatever they can and look at it, including bathrooms, showers, sewers, water pipes, etc.
Anyway, merchants will pay for the materials.
These are the places where the little yellow hats will live in the future, so we can’t be careless.
Seeing the little yellow hats working diligently and enthusiastically, compared with the feeble appearance of the shackled prisoners before, it was a world of difference.
The businessmen immediately felt more comfortable.
He kept praising the professionalism of the construction team hired by Gray.
And Gray didn't do anything to those fake refugees.
Instead, they raised them.
These people have indeed been tortured recently, and they all look haggard and anxious.
Gray placed them in a temporary camp, which was still closely guarded by soldiers.
However, Gray treated them better in terms of meals. At least in addition to basic food, they also got a piece of bread and a bowl of broth every day.
This made this group of fake refugees feel more grateful to Gray.
People's hearts are so complicated. A few days ago, they hated Gray so much that their teeth itched with hatred.
But after being tortured, they became more afraid of Gray.
Now that they had eaten enough and even drank broth because of Gray, they felt extremely satisfied, and their hatred for Gray had dissipated a lot. Some were even very grateful to Gray.
Gray didn't interact much with them.
He just said a few words lightly.
The first sentence: "I know some of you hate me, but you have to think clearly that the root cause of all the pain you have suffered is not because of me, but because of your own laziness and greed."
Second sentence: "Now the punishment is over, but your sins are not forgiven."
The third sentence: "Someone will bring you food tomorrow."
After saying that, Gray left, completely ignoring the many people in the crowd looking at him longingly.
On the way back, in the carriage, Tina looked at Gray curiously.
"You didn't seem to want to deal with the prisoners directly, but instead provided them with delicious food."
Tina didn't believe it was because Gray was soft-hearted.
This man was standing on the city wall, drinking and laughing as he watched the soldiers massacre the fake refugees.
Such a man has absolutely nothing to do with being soft-hearted.
If it wasn't because he couldn't do it, it meant that Gray kept them for other purposes.
Although Tina had not counted them, she could roughly estimate that the number of prisoners was probably close to 10,000.
With so many people staying here and coaxing them to eat and drink, it costs a lot of money.
With Gray's temperament, how could he waste his money?
Listening to the maid's question, Gray just smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked another question.
"Isn't Miss Anna in the castle these days?"
Tina was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded.
Lady Anna is indeed absent these days, she went to the royal capital.
But counting the time, it’s time for Lady Anna to come back.
Tina looked out the car window at the brand new street and the repaired stone arch not far away, and fell into deep thought.
It will definitely be a surprise when Lady Anna comes back.
"I don't know if you still remember the agreement we made before, which is to let Miss Anna and I meet after the refugee problem is solved."
Gray called the countess Miss Anna in a polite tone, with a sense of alienation in her politeness.
Tina frowned slightly when she heard this.
But looking at Gray's calm look, she didn't know what to say.
She suddenly didn't know whether she should think Lady Anna was lucky or unlucky.
It would be great if nothing happened to Black Rock City that night.
Tina thought to herself that she probably understood what Gray was thinking.
It's a pity that God's will plays a trick on people.
Tina spoke softly: "Don't worry, Lady Anna has not forgotten. In fact, Lady Anna has wanted to meet you for a long time."
Gray was stunned when he heard this: "Really? That's good. I thought Miss Anna didn't want to see me."
Tina shook her head: "That was just a misunderstanding, actually..."
Just as Tina was about to explain to Count Anna, she heard a violent sound of horse hooves.
Gray felt the carriage stop beneath him.
Gray and Anna turned to look at the end of the road at the same time.
This is the intersection of two main roads.
That direction is the east gate of Thorn City.
I saw a group of armored knights majestically riding horses, following a red figure at the front.
At the front of the team, there was a woman wearing a white slim-fitting knight's uniform. She came on horseback, with a bright heroic spirit in her eyebrows, and something seemed to be beating in her dark red eyes.
The long dark red hair was tied into a ponytail, swaying as the red horse ran.
She smiled wildly and openly, not like a powerful countess, but like a lawless little witch.
The afterglow of the setting sun fell gently on her body, and finally on Gray's heart.
Soon, the countess's horse stopped outside the carriage.
She looked down at Gray in the carriage.
Gray looked at her too.
Just like in the memory, she was still a breathtakingly beautiful woman, a kind of noble and wanton beauty.
It seems like nothing can restrain her beauty.
"Want to get on the horse? I can hold you and ride!"
Anna looked at Gray and then extended an invitation to Gray.
It's like an evil witch seducing an inexperienced little boy.
Gray glanced at her, then stepped out of the carriage and jumped behind the countess.
The grumpy red horse suddenly became agitated when he felt his master's unexpected person falling on him.
But before it could do anything, Gray reached out from behind the Countess's waist and grabbed the reins.
Feeling the restlessness of the horse beneath him, Gray frowned slightly and subconsciously said in a deep voice: "Just calm down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the big red horse that was about to become furious suddenly became quiet.
He even turned back to Gray and snorted meekly.
Anna's eyes widened, and she was a little unsure if this was still her horse.
How could this guy have such a good temper?
It's incredible.
She thought Gray would be in a hurry.
I didn’t expect this big red horse to be taken care of so quickly.
Anna looked back at Gray, and then at Gray's arms that were almost hugging her.
"I'll hold you and ride."
Gray's faint voice rang in her ears, and then the sound of horse hooves sounded. Under everyone's gaze, the two of them galloped towards Rose Castle.
There were also some knights who were in a daze. After the initial confusion, they immediately came to their senses and started chasing the two people in front of them with all their strength.
Tina sitting in the carriage:...
A certain countess was so obsessed with sex that she didn't even look at her. She forgot everything when she saw Gray.
A certain man was even more outrageous. A second ago he was calling Miss Anna, as polite as a guest coming to the field. As soon as he saw Lady Anna, he immediately became rude. He got on his horse and hugged Lady Anna and ran away.
Tina was a little tired.
Just now she was naively worried about the future of these two people.
Now she begins to worry about her future.
A woman who says she doesn't expect love seems to be talking about a very novel kind of love.
I really believed her lies at first.
Tina curled her lips and asked the coachman to move on and return to Rose Castle.
