Chapter 227 How to face it

"Uh, I don't know how to deal with it. Maybe knowing the other party's secret may not be a good thing! Sometimes, the other party keeps a certain secret, maybe it's because he has to!"

Juliana answered Zhao Fubo's inquiry with an ambiguous answer. While answering, she listened carefully to Zhao Fubo's reaction. Is it true that Juliana has any secrets that she doesn't want to be known?

In the darkness, Zhao Fubo could not see Juliana's expression, but felt that his words seemed to arouse the other party's doubts. He stretched out his hand and held Juliana's waist.

"Yes, dear Juliana, maybe you are right, maybe the other party has unscrupulous difficulties and has to keep his own secret!"

This sentence not only answered Juliana's doubts, but also made her know that she had just answered it right. Juliana leaned her face against Zhao Fubo's chest and looked at the light on Thira Island. It was like the hope in her heart, and it was also so vague.

The two of them did not talk any further along the way, but just felt the love in each other's heart and thought about the future.

The night in the hall of the Aden Fortress is much more brilliant than in the past. The bright light of the gas lamp makes the hall of the Governor of the Aden province look particularly brilliant. However, only under this bright light can one find that the embroidered curtains that hold many embroidery were smoked black by candles.

At this time, people did not know how to use boric acid soaked candle wicks, so that black smoke would not appear and would fade away with burning. The candles used by nobles often require servants to constantly use scissors to cut off the too-long candle wicks, otherwise the already dim candle light would sway. Perhaps the swaying candle light is one of the sources of legends in the Middle World and Europe.

This is still a treatment that only a rich governor can enjoy. Ordinary people use oil lamps that will emit black smoke at home. Over time, a black mark of a connection will be formed near the walls where the candles are burning over time.

But here, when the car lights illuminate the entire hall, all the servants of Ashlever, the governor of Aden, realized how dirty the hall was.

Gong Zi, who is used to living on the Island of Felek, was at the dinner table, criticizing Ashlever, the governor of Aden without hesitation.

"Well, if I live here in the future, the house will be brushed with white ash, and the floor will be repainted with the tiles from our place. There are also curtains and windows... Oh my, the governor in the past was really dirty than a pig, so why can this place live in? But let's talk about it first. If I want my sister to guard the castle, this place will have to be decorated as I want, and you have to pay for it!"

Zhao Fubo had nothing to say about this. Gong Zi, who likes to cut vegetables for money, will naturally be clear. He has become accustomed to living in the White Fort on the Island of Felekai, and has seen the white walls and the tiled floor. The rooms in this fortress are really unacceptable.

"Forget it, Sister Gong, after guarding the city this time, I will throw this place to Teacher Martin and others. I don't think the teacher cares a lot. This fortress is full of large ones, so let them live in. If you want to be clean, just live in the naval fortress on Thira Island. The place is newly built, so you can't look good!"

Zhao Fubo is telling the truth. No matter what Martin or his subordinates are, the scholars invited are probably too addicted to the research of new affairs, so they are not very particular about food or accommodation.

"That's not OK. Although they don't care about it, we can't ignore it. Sister Gong is right. The living environment here needs to be well organized, and it is precisely because they don't care that we have to help them pay attention. Otherwise, if Teacher Martin gets sick, see who will do things for you that no one else can do!"

Juliana's words were immediately approved by Gong Zi. These little women were really picky about the living environment. Zhao Fubo raised his hand and said surrender, not wanting these little women to continue to pursue hygiene. Otherwise, they would inevitably pursue themselves in the end. Wouldn't that cause trouble?

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about those. Now I have squeezed out some of the people. The original archers and some gunners on the ship can come to the fortress. In this way, our own people in the fortress can be about 500. But Sister Gong, even if they are added, the fortress will not exceed 2,000 defenders. The only thing left is the prisoners who have been recruited, and how many there are. Do you think these forces are enough to guard the Aden Fortress?"

Faced with the likely siege, it should be said that no soldier seems redundant. The reality is that Zhao Fubo will take away his absolute main force, and most of the people left in the fortress are from the Aden Province. These people may suddenly become enemies when the war situation is reversed at any time.

Zhao Fubo's worries cannot affect Gong Zi's mood.

"I'm leaving this matter to my sister. Isn't it just a siege? Don't scare me. I'm not scared! You have to give everyone a good head, just like Mr. Martin said, be hygienic!"

After talking and laughing, time passed quickly. After dinner, everyone had to go to work hard for everyone. Zhao Fubo thought that he could have a good talk with Amina while taking this opportunity.

Amina was "warned" about his invitation. And until now, she was still a little scared, and she refused with a very disgusting feeling.

"Are you still going to the city wall? There...it's not possible!"

Looking at Amina's cold and cold appearance, Zhao Fubo was really embarrassed.

"It's not that thing, but... it's something else, it's very important. I hope to talk to you privately!"

"I don't believe it, I'm a lie! You must be...I won't be fooled by you!"

When Amina refused, her face turned red. She thought that Zhao Fubo had something to talk about, but it was just an excuse, so she immediately showed that she was determined not to be fooled.

Zhao Fubo was anxious. There was almost no quiet place in the entire fortress except on the city wall. Moreover, he didn't know what Amina would react to seeing the letter, so it was better to always find a quiet place in his intuition.

"Really, I really have something to talk to you. Otherwise, you can find a secluded place!"

Looking at Zhao Fubo's anxious look, Amina gradually felt that something was wrong. The redness on her face slowly faded away, and even Zhao Fubo's appearance reminded her of the figure she saw during the day, which she thought was hallucination.

"If I'm right, is it..."

Suddenly, Amina's face turned pale, and the appearance of that figure reminded her of her true identity. This is a question that cannot be avoided. She has been escaping and now she has to face that thing.

Moreover, she was worried in her heart that if Zhao Fubo knew about the things she had been hiding, it would be like. In a daze, Amina instinctively told her that she should avoid this conversation. At least she did not have the courage to face Zhao Fubo after knowing the truth.

"No, I...I feel a little uncomfortable...I..."

After a few consecutive sounds of "me", Amina no longer knew what she should say. She looked at the doubts on Zhao Fubo's face, how to face him, but she could not give herself an answer. The huge fear grabbed Amina's heart. She didn't know how to face this matter, and turned around and just wanted to escape from a distance.

"Let me be quiet, I have to think of some things clearly!"

After a hurried explanation, Amina ran away without looking back. Zhao Fubo chased after him twice, but someone grabbed his hand and stopped him from his actions. When he turned around, he saw Juliana's careful eyes.

"No, don't force her. I'm worried that if she's forced too hard, she will really leave!"

Juliana was thinking about the letter along the way, and the final conclusion was that the letter might not necessarily reveal her secret. From Zhao Fubo's words, she guessed that it should be something related to Amina. As for her own secret, if she hadn't returned to France, then I'm afraid no one would know this life.

After thinking about this, she kept quietly observing the development of the matter. Zhao Fubo would definitely find out the fundamentals of this kind of thing, but unfortunately, talking directly with Amina may not be a good choice. Zhao Fubo looked at Juliana in a daze, knowing that this matter could never be hidden from her. He took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to Juliana.

"I just hope to talk to her in advance, and hope she understands that no matter what her secret is, it won't affect us."

After reading the letter in his hand, Juliana smelled the feeling of conspiracy. It seemed that someone was looking at them and sneering. It seemed that there was a huge crisis and was about to come to them.

After pondering for a while, she could quite understand Zhao Fubo's thoughts. They were now facing many crises in the province of Aden. If there were any problems between their relationship, if they were not resolved early, it would probably end up with a sad ending that no one would want to face.

"Yes, Fu Bo, I understand what you mean. But you should have heard that sentence, as the saying goes, the authorities are confused. If she is forced too tight, I am afraid that it will cause us to regret the things we all will regret for the rest of our lives. Otherwise, I will be optimistic about her here and not let her do stupid things.

You quietly go to the person who sent you this letter, as you said, no matter what kind of secret is, it is not a problem for all of us. But I am worried that this is another ambush plot, you have to bring some people and arrange them outside!"
