Chapter 271 I’ve tolerated you for so long

The next day.

March 6th.

It's sunny.

Today's sky in the capital is no longer cloudless. There are a few more white clouds of different shapes on the horizon, falling there as if frozen.

The sun was shining down, reflecting the peaceful royal capital as before.

In the afternoon, Lu Qi's mansion.

"The weather has been pretty good recently."

Lu Qi lay on the rocking chair, staring at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling happy and relaxed.

"yes."

Lacus, who was also lying on the rocking chair, echoed, with a contented look on her face.

The two of them seemed to be back in the summer, when they lay on the rocking chairs and basked in the sun all day long.

I just feel like time flies by so fast, many things have changed, and many things have remained the same.

Lu Qi has been in a good mood recently, and rarely has he been in a bad mood. Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of the many people living under the same sky.

Vayne wrote a letter some time ago. They chased Evelin to the northwest border. In the last fight, they successfully injured Evelin again.

Lucian didn't know where he was, and the last letter he wrote was still a few months ago.

Lu Qi felt that he should have some correspondence with him. After all, this way he could know the progress of Brother Hei.

His progress is closely related to his love brain.

Maybe if there is a chance, it's time to go to the headquarters of the Sentinel of Light and find a way to get in touch with Lucian again.

You can ask about the progress at any time.

However, according to Lu Qi's prediction, Brother Hei will not be able to find a wife in a short period of time, and his love brain will not wake up.

Furthermore, I thought about Panis. I haven’t seen her for a while, but I often exchange letters.

Multiple people flashed through Lu Qi's mind one by one, and finally he thought of Silas.

It seems I haven’t visited in a while.

Thinking of this, he stood up from the rocking chair, stretched out his waist comfortably, and told Yourna: "Prepare the car."

Next to her, Lux heard the movement, opened her eyes, and asked curiously: "Where are you going?"

"Go out and be back soon."

Lu Qi replied casually: "The ice cream in the basement is almost frozen. You can take it out anytime you want."

"oh."

Lux knew as soon as she heard that this guy didn't want her to follow him, so she continued to lie lazily without even making a move to get up.

Soon, Yourna prepared the carriage, and after Lu Qi got on it, she headed straight towards the capital prison.

About an hour later, the carriage slowly stopped at the entrance of the prison.

"See His Highness the Prince."

Lu Qi got off the carriage, and the guard at the entrance immediately bowed and saluted him.

"No gift."

Lu Qi replied and walked straight towards the prison.

Not long after, a figure ran from a distance and said with a smile on his face: "Your Highness, welcome."

The person coming was naturally Deird.

Lu Qi glanced at him, said nothing, and continued walking towards the playground.

Deilde followed without mind and said, "Silas is currently building a library according to your instructions."

Lu Qi nodded and quickly arrived at the playground. From a distance, he saw Silas carrying stones.

I have to say that Silas has really mastered this.

Lu Qi still remembered Silas's skinny body when he first saw him, but now he looked much stronger.

Being able to practice like this in the prison's food environment is enough to show that Xiaosai's talent is extraordinary.

In the distance, Silas also noticed Lu Qi's arrival at a glance, and his eyes froze for a moment.

After not seeing each other for a while, the prince seemed to be the same as in his impression.

It's still obviously normal, but it always makes people feel very unbeatable.

"Hey, Xiaosai, long time no see."

Lu Qi walked closer and said hello with a smile on his face.

Silas looked at Lu Qi and gave a rare reply: "Yes, long time no see."

"It seems that you are in a good mood recently."

With a faint smile on his face, Lu Qi looked to the other side: "I didn't even notice before that this house is so big."

At this time, what appeared in his eyes was a house that had already been built and was beginning to take shape. It was about five meters high and six to seven meters wide. The stone bricks were closely connected and a fixed structure could be seen in the middle. wall material.

Although it's not big, it looks like it took a lot of effort.

He vaguely remembered his original request for running and building a library.

The latter part is purely mentioned casually and has no other intention at all. Looking at the standing houses at this moment, I can also feel the passage of time.

It is not easy for Silas alone to build it to this extent.

"The construction is quite good. If you had followed this path back then, you would be a master architect now."

Lu Qi praised.

Silas naturally did not show much emotion due to his compliment, but he believed that he did have some talent in architecture.

Just by reading a few books, you can build such a stable house.

Still somewhat complacent.

Lu Qi waved his hand at this moment: "Such a good house, it must be very good if it is smashed. Deird, go call someone to smash it."

After the words fell, Silas paused on the spot, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

Dilde was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. Without asking, she immediately responded: "Yes, Your Highness."

Sure enough, he should have expected this result!

What is the difference between this and the original ordering Silas to copy the book, and then burning the things he had copied so hard?

No, there is still a difference, because this is more about the mentality.

Silas had spent months working hard to build this house, and now it was about to collapse.

Soon, Deilde called for help, and several guards held sledgehammers.

Before smashing, he still confirmed: "Then, Your Highness, get ready to start smashing."

Lu Qi nodded and ordered: "Smash it."

"Smash!"

Deilde immediately repeated it loudly.

Several guards immediately raised their sledgehammers and smashed them hard against the wall.

The hammer fell on the wall and made several "dong dong dong" sounds, which seemed to ring in Silas's heart. He just watched helplessly as several cracks appeared on the wall of the house.

Hammer after hammer.

In the end, it couldn't bear the knocking any more, and it suddenly shattered and collapsed completely.

"Rumble", the gravel fell to the ground, making a heavy sound and splashing smoke and dust all over the ground.

Lu Qi still had a smile on his face and looked at Silas: "How about it, the movement is not bad, right?"

Such a shameless smile fell in Silas's eyes, but it made him smile instead of anger, and his stubble-covered face smiled: "Prince, you are indeed different from most Demacia people I have met. , are all different.”

Lu Qi asked curiously: "How do you say this?"

Silas raised his eyes to the sky, his gaze was a little far-reaching, and then he looked back: "Demacians are usually not as in need of a beating as you are. There is something I have wanted to say to you for a long time."

Lu Qi was still curious and said, "Tell me."

"I've tolerated you for a damn long time!"

Silas turned around and watched Lu Qi shout loudly, then suddenly raised his hand, with a ruthless look in his eyes.

With a shaking sound, the chain hit Lu Qi hard.

Very fast.

His sudden rampage left many people unresponsive, but Lucci was not included.

He could have gotten out of the way earlier, but he still waited until the chain was close before narrowly dodging it.

With a "boom", the iron chain hit the ground with a loud sound. Silas rushed forward, waving his left hand, and the iron chain on it also swung towards Lu Qi.

Every blow felt like a surefire hit.

But this time, the surrounding guards reacted.

"Protect His Highness!"

Dilde shouted, drew his weapon and rushed towards Silas, while several guards swarmed over him.

Silas showed extremely strong combat effectiveness in a short period of time. He actually threw away two guards and rushed out of the encirclement of the guards, still staring at Lu Qi in pursuit.

As if he must kill him, and as if he wanted to vent the anger and resentment that had been held in his heart for so long.

The situation is completely out of control.

Ten seconds later, Silas was finally subdued. He was pinned to the ground by two guards, with his face pressed to the ground and unable to move, but his eyes were still filled with dissatisfaction and were covered in scarlet red. bloodshot.

Dilde walked up with a scared look on his face, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, are you okay?"

Lu Qi put away his smile, and there seemed to be a scratch on his clothes. He glanced at Deilde expressionlessly: "Do I look like I'm fine?"

The aura that was invisibly revealed directly made Deilde's bowed body lower: "I'm extremely sorry, Your Highness, it was my fault for improper care. I didn't expect that this damn prisoner would suddenly go crazy. I am willing to accept everything. Punishment, the first priority is to check on your injuries."

Lu Qi nodded lightly, glanced at Silas who was being held on the ground, and turned around.

Soon after hearing the news, medical staff rushed over and examined his arm.

Fortunately, it was just a false alarm in the end, just a little scratch.

In fact, there wouldn't even be a scratch.

Naturally, Lu Qi would not be injured so easily, but Silas' sudden attack on him would not be ignored so easily.

Although in the eyes of many people, this is purely due to Lu Qi himself.

People put a lot of effort into building a house, but you come over and smash it down without saying a word. After the smashing is done, you make a face and laugh at it.

No one would be able to hold back.

But there is no way, who makes Lu Qi a noble prince.

Moreover, Silas not only attacked Lucci this time, but also injured two guards.

That's right, he suddenly burst out with unexpected strength, catching the two guards off guard and being thrown away by the chains.

Apparently they all underestimated the prisoner.

Even after so many years, Silas still has a certain degree of danger.

This incident quickly alerted an official bigger than Deilde, who was the Justice Hall not far from the prison in the royal capital.

After a while, Giovanni, one of the eight ministers and the representative of the law, arrived in person.

He is the leader of the Hall of Justice and the central representative of Demacian law. He is known for being unselfish and ruthless. Many prisoners are transferred directly from the Hall of Justice to the prison here.

When he learned that a prisoner had attacked the prince, Giovanni was also surprised.

If we take it seriously, the problem is very serious.

After he confirmed what happened, he was speechless and helpless.

"How do you plan to deal with this prisoner, Your Highness?"

The strange look in his eyes when he looked at Lu Qi disappeared for a moment, and he soon returned to normal.

To be honest, this was the first time he had seen a prince who owed him so much.

When he first met the prince, his impression of him was not very good, because he always felt that the prince had a sense of cynicism, as if he treated many things very casually.

This is different from most Demacians who are meticulous and serious in their work.

But he was indeed a genuine prince, so even if he had any objections, he didn't have to say anything.

Later, the prince did several surprising things and was promoted to lieutenant general in a short period of time, proving his extraordinary talents.

But the cynical energy in him still makes people feel immature compared to his calm elder brother.

Recently, there are rumors that the king seems to have the idea of ​​cultivating this second son.

Now the apparent heir is still Jarvan IV, but the current situation has suddenly become unpredictable.

But no matter what, he was still more optimistic about the fourth generation.

At this time, Lu Qi heard the words and immediately said coldly: "How to deal with it. In your opinion, what is the better way to deal with it?"

The question was thrown back.

Giovanni thought for a while and said: "Silas himself is a serious criminal. According to my investigation of the case, he escaped the death penalty because he was a minor. Now he openly attacked the prince of a country and injured two guards. , it can be said that it is a crime plus one. According to the law, it should be punished by death."

Perhaps because he had dealt with too many cases and lives, there was no emotion in Giovanni's voice when he said these words.

When Lu Qi heard this, his eyes flashed: "Okay, then the death penalty will be imposed."

Simple communication determines how to deal with it.

The death penalty is not carried out immediately.

In Demacia, those who commit the death penalty will be escorted to the execution ground not far from the prison and be executed in public as a warning to others.

Of course Lucci had the power to kill Silas directly, but he did not do so.

Soon, he went to the dungeon and came to the cage where Silas was imprisoned.

Silas seemed to have been beaten, his body was thrown there casually like a corpse, and the dim light reflected several bruises on his body.

"Tsk, tsk, it seems they are not easy."

Lu Qi clicked his tongue twice, and then asked: "I'm going to the execution ground tomorrow. I want to interview you, Silas, how are you feeling now?"

"My mood is just so-so."

Silas turned over, face up, and finally waited in silence no longer.

A pair of eyes that were more lively than usual looked at Lu Qi: "At least I finally don't have to do things that others can laugh at just to survive. Do you feel it's a pity that I'm missing as a source of laughter?"

His hair was disheveled, but he looked in good shape.
