Southwest Rain (7)

The fat man's eyes were unusually bright, with an interested expression, looking at the farce that was happening across the street, although it was not yet possible to determine the identity of these few Central Beians who suddenly appeared, but it could be clearly seen that after the leading Central Beans took out something that seemed to be proof of identity, the atmosphere in the store changed suddenly,

The clerk at the counter just now was unceremoniously driven to the street by a few Central Biyans, and a few clerks stood there with angry faces, looking like they dared not speak, and the customers who were still selecting goods in the store also left the store in a panic because of this sudden incident.

The shop, which was crowded with people just now and occupied almost half of the street, suddenly became empty.

A few Central Belgians smashed things fiercely inside, and there were several horse-drawn carriages full of goods parked at the door, and the two Gallic merchants sitting on it were holding the bills to be checked in their hands and were a little dazed and at a loss, one of them wanted to enter the store to ask, but was stopped by a companion and kindly reminded him, "Are you crazy? Don't you see, these people ......!"

"Are we just watching?" the merchant glared at his companion

"I'm sure Lord Lisa Roque will handle it," the companion cautiously looked left and right, and said in an unusually deep voice, "Don't forget, who we are!"

At this moment, a rush of footsteps came from the corner next to him, and a dozen sturdy young thugs rushed out of the alley behind the shop, holding short sticks, wooden sticks and other weapons, standing menacingly outside the shop, like a group of hunting dogs surrounding their prey, but no one dared to step forward, in front of them, a tall Zhongbian man, squinting his eyes, holding the hilt of the sword at his waist in his right hand, stood in front of a dozen young people like a door panel. The powerful momentum shrouded the area three meters in front of him, and the indifferent and murderous eyes all showed that as long as the gangsters on the opposite side really dared to come up, the sword in his hand would definitely not hesitate to split the people who rushed up

"It's someone from the army?"

His gaze swept over the slightly curved sword on the opponent's waist, and the thugs' eyes flashed with fear, and their steps even retreated

Everyone knows that in the Falcon Empire, you should never run into someone in the army, and those who can wear this kind of sword are often the masters of the army. The appearance is the same, it may be a young and immature teenager, or it may be a middle-aged person who has become an accident, because the recruitment age of the Falcon Empire is fifteen to forty years old, but those who can survive the cruel battlefield are often the characters who kill people on the battlefield, and killing people is just like breathing and eating for these people!

"No, there are no Central Bayians in the army!" said one of the thugs

"yes. I have never heard of Central Beians in the army!" The dim eyes of the thugs lit up again, gathered again, and waved the wooden sticks in their hands in a demonstrative manner.

Riyadh has strict weapons controls. In a normal fight, if a metal weapon appears, it will immediately attract the Admiralty city guards, but if it is just a weapon such as a wooden stick, the city guards will often ignore it. Since they are all cities made up of the families of the Imperial Navy, it is common to be brave and ruthless, just look at the Imperial sailors who are drunk and make trouble in the taverns. Picking quarrels and provoking troubles is so frequent in the city that the thugs have tacitly given up the right to use metal weapons

"Rush up and beat him!" the thugs emboldened themselves,

"Whoever comes over again, I'll kill him first!" The leading Zhongbian pouted disdainfully, and he asked several of his subordinates to put the young clerk in front of him, and then slapped the young clerk in the face with a hard slap

"If you still want this shop, let that slut come to see me!"

Zhongbiya looked away from the face of the clerk who was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, let go of the hand holding the clerk's collar, the clerk sat on the ground with blood on his face, and the Zhongbia man swept over the dozen gangsters outside the store, several gangsters hesitated, and finally one of them turned around and walked away in a little panic, the corner of Zhongbia's mouth showed a sneer, and he gestured with his eyes to a subordinate who had already lurked in the crowd, followed closely behind the gangster who turned away, and followed. "Alright, let's stop!" The Zhongbian raised his hand to several subordinates, he was so blatant in smashing the shop on the street, just to alarm the woman, after all, this city is not the territory of the Gauls, it is impossible to let herself come at will, and that woman has always been good at hiding, if she really wants to hide, the situation will become unfavorable to herself, so this Zhongbian can only gamble, according to the style of that woman, at such an important contact point, in addition to the people in the store, there must have been other eyeliner arranged nearby, and he performed such a good show so hard, just to let the news of his arrival, as fast as possible to the ears of the woman whose heart is like a femme fatale,

For two whole years, I endured humiliation, came to this strange country from the Central Empire, and finally got the whereabouts of that woman through several interest transactions, how could I give up lightly!

He was well aware of the importance of this shop, which was the most central point of contact for Gaul in the southwest, whether it was news from Gaul or from the southwest to Gaul, it had to pass through here as a transit, and he could not dismantle the Gallic station as part of the deal with the Gallic Ministry of Intelligence.

But it's a pity that the Gallic Intelligence Department seems to be very reluctant to see the storage of this shop, think about the just-concluded Gallic Emperor's imperial meeting, the scolded Gallic Intelligence Department knows how much they hate this intelligence line that is highly praised by the Emperor Xià, but has nothing to do with themselves, in the eyes of the senior officials of the Gallic Intelligence Department, this independent intelligence network is too good, too able to support their incompetence,

As this line of intelligence gradually showed its high efficiency, the salivating gaze of the Gallic intelligence department was also revealed,

However, this intelligence line was previously the exclusive authority of Philip, and Harun the Gallic intelligence minister had no right to intervene, but a secret letter from the Falcon Empire gave the Gallic intelligence department an excellent opportunity to seize this intelligence line.

I don't know what the reason is, not long ago, Philep, who was in charge of the intelligence line, suddenly and secretly left Gallic Kyoto, and then the Gallic Intelligence Department was very angry to find out. Along with the surrounding Philip leaving Kyoto, there are also 74 members of the Julils family who have been under close surveillance, this is a big event, as the emperor's special intelligence officer, Philip's move is undoubtedly a defection, and the shock caused by this information can be imagined.

The Gallic Intelligence Department immediately reported the situation to the Gallic Emperor, whose silence on the matter was like a signal that he could not wait to drive this opponent away and take over the Marquis of Harun, the Minister of Intelligence, who was extremely valuable in his intelligence line. Immediately secretly ordered the arrest of Philip's adjutant, attendants, servants, and even the janitor's dog in the intelligence department, and as a result of the day and night interrogation, he finally got the important news that the central hub of Philip's intelligence line was in the city of Riad in the southwest.

However, it was surprising that the person in charge of this intelligence line was a Central Belgian woman, Blood Pear Flower, the head of the Central Belgian intelligence organization in the Dongque region. Because of the impact of the war a few years ago, it is said that she has been secretly executed by the experts sent by the Central Bea intelligence organization Dragon Claw, and no one expected that this woman would be alive and sound thousands of miles away.

Marquis Harun, the Minister of Intelligence, who got the results of the interrogation, had a gloomy face, crumpled it heavily, and then threw it into the garbage basket, this woman. Reminds him of some unpleasant memories that he knows more than anyone else as Minister of Intelligence. He remembered that a total of 22 people who fled to Gaul from the East of Central Belgium were squeezed out of all the intelligence puppets, all of them were imprisoned, and then according to the agreement with the Central Belgian intelligence organization, they were secretly exchanged as hostages with the Central Belgian side, and it is said that these 22 people died very miserably after returning, 6 people were skinned, 7 people were divided into five horses, and the remaining 9 people suffered the legendary punishment of a thousand knives, and it is said that even the corpse of the middle and the little bit could not be found, and it was directly used as dog food!

For the fate of these sent back Central Beautians, the Marquis of Harun had no apologies in his heart, he was the Minister of Intelligence, and he did not open a shelter, these Dongque people themselves were enemies of Gaul, and they only came together because of the common interests of both sides, and the defeat of Gaul against the Central Bebian Empire was directly related to these people, the long-planned raid war, according to the plan, when the Gallic army stormed the Central Beautical border guards, the Dongque local army, which was located in the rear of the border guards, would also erect a rebel flag to Central Bia at the same time,

Attacking the border guards on both sides, even the Sino-Biya Frontier Corps, which is commanded by the famous general Long Yang, will be caught off guard and scattered and fled, but no one expected that on the eve of the upcoming launch, there was an accident on the Dongque side.

That night, a qiē was ready

The 60,000 men of the Dongque local army are ready to go at the gate of the city, just waiting for the order of the Dongque herdsman to arrive, and the army can swear, and then they can set off.

Dongque Shepherd sat alone in the study, looking hesitant, holding the pen in his hand, trembling slightly, the pen was a rebellion agreement, according to the agreement, the Dongque region separated from the Central Bia Empire and became an independent province of the Gaul Empire, Dongque Mushou will become the first governor, and forever hereditary, except for the emperor's orders, Dongque has its own independent army, taxes, and the power to deal with government affairs, just like a small kingdom.

Just when the Dongque Mu Shou was about to put down the pen, the Mu Shou concubine walked into the study with tea, and without anyone else noticing, she quickly pierced into the heart of the Mu Shou with a cold light, and the soldiers who rushed in from outside when they heard the screaming sound, looked at the Mu Shou who was holding the blood-stained red chest, and looked at the blood stains on the corner of the mouth of the concubine with a complex and beautiful look with a suspicious, gratifying, and even relieved look. "Why do you want to? I know you're different from other women, but I didn't expect ......."

The corner of Mu Shou's mouth smiled bitterly, his hand held the dagger on his chest, his angry gaze, and he inadvertently saw the blood dripping from the corner of the concubine's mouth, falling into the brown tea that was served, turning into a cup of strong bloody red, faintly with a fishy smell that came to his face,

The concubine's fair and beautiful face, illuminated by the red candlelight, showed a dark red, like blood oozing from under the skin,

The pastoral guard's pity turned into a kind of horror and annoyance, and the finger holding the dagger was cut without noticing, red as sweat and blood, which was a sign of a poisonous attack called beauty blood in the Central Biya intelligence organization, "I'm sorry, if the adult puts up the flag of rebellion, the 176 people of my family will be killed by the organization! I will accompany the adult, and the adult will not be lonely on the road!" The corner of the concubine's beautiful and graceful mouth showed a trace of pitiful coldness, and the luster in her eyes was showing a dull gray color that had lost her life,

That night. A woman turned the whole situation around with a delicate body,

Because the local army of Dongque did not receive the order of the pastoral guard, the departure time was postponed to the morning of the next day, and it was also that night, according to the plan, the Murphy dragon cavalry raided the commander of the Zhongbia border army at all costs, Longyang's main formation, the wind swept the land, and the border guards of Longyang responded in a hurry, and the subordinates resisted desperately, and fought all night. The Zhongbian side suffered 30,000 casualties, but the commander Long Yang was able to survive the raid, laying the groundwork for the subsequent counterattack.

When the Dongque local army arrived, the battle of the raid on Longyang had already ended, and if the Dongque army could attack from behind in time, under the attack from both sides, the back road would be cut off, and there would be a large army in front. No matter how desperately Longyang's subordinates worked, all they got was the cold corpse of the commander, and the battle situation of more than 100,000 border guards of the Central Biya Empire was overwhelmed.

But now. Because the commander was taken off, the scattered Central Biya border guards who were shocked were immediately reorganized after the chaos. After retreating fifty miles, it finally gained a foothold, and three days later, the Longyang Army, which had been supplemented by a large number of backups, quickly returned to the army. Taking advantage of the fact that the attack power of the Gallic army could not be sustained, it pressed like a wave from the weak flank army of the Gauls, and easily completed the encirclement of the 100,000 Gallic troops who had no time to withdraw!

The Dongque intelligence organization, which received the news of the assassination of the shepherd, immediately chose to defect to Gaul.

Because the betrayal of the Dongque army is a huge mistake for the entire intelligence organization, the punishment from the top must be the execution of all those who are spared, and there are countless precedents for this in the Central Biya Empire, the local herdsmen rebelled, and the intelligence department of the entire region will be regarded as dereliction of duty no matter what, and according to the law, they must immediately assassinate the rebellious herdsmen at any cost to make up for their mistakes, but unfortunately the Dongque herdsmen are dead, and they don't even have the opportunity to make up for their merits! If you don't want to stay and wait for death, the only way is to defect!

Of course, there is also a claim that cannot be proven

The concubine who married into the house three months ago was actually a secret son of the Central Belgian Intelligence Department to monitor the border officials, because it belonged to the special department of the Central Belgian Intelligence Department, so even the intelligence of the Eastern Que side did not know, as the monitoring department of the Longyan, had already received the news that the Eastern Que Shepherd had frequent contact with the Gauls and there were signs of rebellion, so he inserted this secret son into his side three months ago, in order to stab the herdsman to death in one fell swoop at the last moment,

In this way, they can not only deceive the Gauls, start a war because of their wrong judgment, fall into the trap that the top leaders of the Central Beafer Empire have long laid out, and finally end up having to completely abandon the bitter fruit of the Seattle area, but also force the entire Dongque Intelligence Department, which is regarded as the biggest competitor by a certain high-level inside, into a dead end, which is a private struggle within the Central Bebian Empire's intelligence department, with the Dongque Province as the battlefield!

In order to cover up the truth of the brawl, afterwards, the Central Belgian Imperial Intelligence Department did not hesitate to use 34 Gallic nobles captured in the Battle of Seattle in exchange for the personnel of the Eastern Que Intelligence Department who fled to Gaul, because of special reasons, the most important person in the Eastern Que Intelligence Department accidentally disappeared, and the Central Belgians searched for this for two years, and no one expected to appear in Philip's intelligence network, but also, the person who covered the defection of the Eastern Que Intelligence Department was the chief of the Gallic Eastern War, Philep, and the report he submitted to the Gallic Intelligence Department claimed that the head of the Eastern Que Intelligence Department, Blood Pear Flower, had been killed halfway by the Central Belgian Intelligence Department in the process of defection。 "You mean, the Gallic Intelligence Department sent a Central Byan to replace us?" In the Oros Manor, the black palace dress beauty who got the news obviously felt something, and behind her, Richie said with a solemn expression, "Master, these Central Beagles are really determined to track down here, and this time they are taking over here in the name of the Gallic Intelligence Department, so what should we do?" The network here is laid by us, more than 300 Gallic nobles and their vassals add up to more than 4,000 people, and there is no shortage of real masters in it, once such a network is used by them against us, we are afraid that we will not even be able to escape from the southwest region!

"We must plan ahead, even if it is the secret place that Lord Philip arranged for us, his subordinates will no longer think it is safe!" "You mean, Philip betrayed our agreement? This should not be very likely, Philip knows very well that if we did not preside over this intelligence network, he would definitely not be able to obtain such efficient information in a short period of time and betray us to the Central Bibians. Not a little good for him."

The beautiful woman in the black dress frowned slightly, and her eyes flashed a trace of hesitation and confusion, this time the Central Biya side used the Gallic intelligence network to find herself, to say that there was no problem with the Gallic intelligence department, it was absolutely impossible, this couldn't help but make her firm heart shake slightly, the sacrifice of 22 subordinates, or was it not able to hide the fact that she was still alive? Or could only be said by the loyal servant Richie, he should have made plans in advance. "The heart is unpredictable, master! and a selfish and indifferent man like Shadow Philep. It's never something that can be inferred according to common sense!Just like when the eldest sister was in love with him at the beginning, she didn't end up with a miserable end where his head fell to the ground!" Richie took a deep breath and said boldly.

"Enough!" The expression of the beautiful woman in the black dress changed, interrupted Rich's words, and said sharply, "I said, the original thing was also a last resort, my sister used her own death in exchange for me to be able to escape from Central Bia alive, and Philep just acted according to my sister's will. And in that assassination, Philip himself almost died! If there was any grudge in the past, it was offset the moment he risked his life to help us hide it from the Gallic list! Now no one owes anyone!"

"Okay. Even if we don't care about the previous grievances, but we have done so much for him, and he is going to sell us to the Central Belgians......" Richie looked ugly and said indignantly, "Stop talking nonsense. Inform the Five Tiger Guards that we will leave Leyard immediately!" The beautiful woman in the black dress gritted her teeth and made up her mind to say, "There should be something wrong with the Gallic side. Hide for a while, and then find a way, fortunately, I was prepared, and I used the activity funds to secretly buy a manor in the suburbs of the southwest capital, no one knows where I bought it, even if it is on the register, it is also a strange name that no one knows, it is a hidden place outside the Gallic intelligence network, fortunately, during this time, we have not seen other people with real identities and faces, and the organization will not recognize us except for chatting with a few people who know us!"

The rain fell on the roof of the galloping carriage, and as soon as he left the city of Riad, the sky suddenly began to rain densely, like a silent sky, and became a weeping woman.

It stands to reason that the scenery outside the window should also be more vivid and green in the rain, but as the carriage enters the gradually higher mountain road, the grass around the convoy fades into a tall tree that greets the road, and the leaves are not yet completely green, still leaving the solemn meaning accumulated in the spring and winter.

Avoiding the carriage of the avenue and driving on the muddy mountain road, a tense and oppressive atmosphere also enveloped the entire convoy, and everyone knew that the departure of the master this time was likely to disappear forever in the eyes of the world.

This genius in Central Biya's intelligence, thousands of miles away from his homeland, is still fleeing like a rootless ping, next to the avenue is an endless plain, and the beautiful woman in the black dress looks a little dazed at the dense forest on the side of the mountain road

The wheels splashed the water in the quagmire, and the convoy began to walk through the dense forest in the twilight raindrops, no matter from which angle you looked, it was getting farther and farther away from the danger, but there was no trace of relaxation on the face of the beautiful woman in the black dress.

Central Bia is not Gaul, a master secretly trained by the Central Bia Empire, nor is it comparable to the Assassins on the Gallic side,

These are two systems, the Western assassins are more interested in assassination skills, while the Central and Biya masters are more dependent on their own abilities

"Attention everyone"

The beautiful woman in the black dress raised her hand in the dense forest in front of her, and everyone became nervous, and you could vaguely hear the wind walking through the forest soaked in the rain, whistling and whispering, as if there was a ghost crying,

Sure enough, at a rocky position high in the dense forest ahead, a burly man wearing dark light armor appeared in front of the mountain road

"Defection is death!"

With a thunderous shout, his two arms, as thick as a big tree, suddenly lifted up, turning a heavy stone that he had picked up out of nowhere into a roaring stone projectile, and slammed it into the ornate carriage on the mountain road!

The heavy stone roared and cracked the air at high speed, and a branch touched a trace halfway, and the sound of snapping exploded into smashing,

The boulder unstoppably traversed a distance of more than twenty meters in an arc, hitting the first carriage with precision and coldness!, "There are assassins!"

The five attendant cavalry who followed the carriage reacted quickly, only to hear a muffled sound, the richly decorated carriage with a strong internal structure was hit, and immediately scattered into a cloud of waste wood and rags, with faint blood from broken limbs inside, the expressions of the five knights were still indifferent, and they didn't seem to see that the carriage behind them had turned into garbage, and they couldn't see that the target they swore to protect had been shattered, and they didn't even have a look of surprise on their faces, but even faintly could see a hint of relief and calm.

"Front, shoot!"

With a low shout, the five knights quickly raised the infantry crossbow in their hands, although the Falcon Empire is limited to military crossbows, but with the upgrading of equipment, many old old-fashioned crossbows still flow into the underground market, but the price is still expensive, the price of each crossbow is more than a thousand gold coins, the five cavalry maintain a steady balance in the gallop, and the flat-end powerful military infantry foot crossbow, aiming at the shadow in the depths of the forest, quickly pull the trigger.

Five crossbow arrows shot out from the white rain curtain, tearing through the air in front of them, shooting through the fallen leaves that were still slowly fluttering, and accurately hitting the body of the tall man.

Five consecutive sounds of sharp weapons piercing the flesh, poof, the blood turned into five scattered blood flowers blooming in the rain, the strong man who thought he was invincible looked at the crossbow arrow that pierced his body with a blank expression, stretched out his hand with difficulty, touched it, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, and his lips muttered, 'This, how is it possible!'"

Bang, the strong man's body was like a fallen iron tower, slamming into the pool below the ground, "Stupid guy, this is not Zhongbia! Brute force in front of the crossbow arrows of the Falcon Empire, it's just a joke!" The beautiful woman in the black dress dressed as a knight looked at the fallen strong man, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "It's really an accident, Nan Ning actually failed!"

At the other end of the dense forest, a Zhongbia warrior wearing a red lock slowly stood up from the rock, holding the hilt of the sword diagonally to the sky, and the black hair that reached his waist moved in the rain, like a black stream flowing in the snowy rope, the long sword placed horizontally at his waist began to hum, and the sword body in the sheath kept colliding with the inner wall, as if he was impatient to be born and drink blood. The long sword came out of its sheath on its own, turning into a pale cyan sword light in the young man's hand.

"Jian Ming! could it be him!" The corners of the beautiful woman in the black dress flashed a bitter smile with mixed tastes, and she raised her head to look at the raindrops rushing in front of her, as if she could see the sword light like the wind cracking the leaves through the rain curtain (to be continued......
