Chapter 24: Undercurrents
The street in front of the fighting field, a three-carriage avenue, flanked by bustling shops and flamboyant slave girl platforms, the courtyard of the white building, from time to time drunken aristocrats laughed on the side of the road. With this street, it is much more convenient to go from Qifeng Mansion to Pingyu Mansion.
Robert showed his flaws by exposing his bronze hands, but rather showing his wealth. People call the one-handed Robert the bronze hand Robert, one is that he does have a bronze hand, and the other is that the Ruitian War Chronicle written by him is really wonderful, bringing a feast to the dignitaries of Pingyu, so he is also worthy of the noble title of "Bronze Hand".
After greeting a few acquaintances, two strong men in gray suddenly burst out of the door of a brothel and dragged Robert in. When Robert broke free in a daze, he was already in a small room, but the two people in front of him were somewhat familiar. "Who are you?"
"Lord Robert has such a good memory that he forgot about my two brothers so quickly?" said the eldest of the two, in Kelling.
When Robert heard the voice, he was shocked, looked at the two people carefully, and immediately bowed his hand, "It turned out to be the two generals Rees and the Tiger, you are still alive, how dare you run to Pingyu City?" These two people are none other than Rhys and Tiger, who escaped, he has seen these two people before, because they were in armor at that time, so he didn't recognize them when he first saw them this time, and I don't know how these two people got mixed up in Pingyu City.
"Hehe, let's take a look at your good life and avenge Roy. The tiger grabbed Robert by the collar and drew a dagger in his hand, making a stab.
Robert looked indifferent, looking like he was out of the realm of life and death. "Why don't you two listen and explain first?"
"Mr. Robert is so daring. Rhys gave the Tiger a wink and motioned for him to let go.
"Roy is not dead, he is in the Dada Ministry, the two of them don't know it, Ba Xun chased and killed Lady Anna in the Dada Ministry, was trapped and killed by the Dada Ministry, and has avenged Lord Su Scale. I think it must have been Lord Roy's doing. Robert said unhurriedly.
"What a purple star, I saw with my own eyes that you hung Roy's head on the Yuhua city wall, and you still dare to quibble. The tiger waved the dagger in his hand, not believing it, but remembering that Robert was not afraid of him, he put the dagger back away.
"Hmph, if you are like a tiger general, when will my subcontinent be recovered? In another two hundred years, when the Iron and Fire Beast withers, everything will be revealed, and I have no enmity with you for killing my father and wife, why are you in such a hurry?" Robert said sarcastically.
After the two brothers calmed down, Robert revealed his original agreement with Roy. and poured out Su Annie's trapped in Yuwu's house, and the two of them conspired to promote the tax burden and the county system through the script. Naturally, it also includes the news that Baal has been hidden by the Feather Witch.
Seeing that Robert was right, the two Kellings became convinced that their purpose in seeking Robert was to inquire about Barr and the captives of the subcontinent. Now that Robert has made a compromise, and has figured everything out clearly, the two of them are beginning to feel guilty about their attitude towards Robert.
"I have to go to Lady Anne, and I must not delay here too long, lest something go wrong, and I will take my leave. Robert went out, put his arms around a young slave girl, pinched her on the waist, threw her a copper coin, and then laughed and walked out into the street.
After Robert left, another man moved into the room of the two heroes, and the three of them greeted each other.
"Karn, what do you think?" Rhys asked the visitor, who was none other than Karn the Wise, who was sitting in the Kelling Council to observe.
After Karn surrendered to Pingyu at that time, although he did not become a slave, he did not deal with Qifeng very much, so he became a minor nobleman and opened a brothel on this street, but he also lived comfortably. And often in the name of drunkenness, he talked in the crowd about how he passed the army of the god of war of serfdom and fought hundreds of battles. These are naturally the exploits that Barrang Oria gave to the Kailing Serf Army.
Karn's eyes flashed, and he said, "I underestimated Robert, how could he kill Roy with revenge when Roy spared his life? We can't be idle, you two are here first, and we'll wait for the opportunity. ”
"No, I have an idea to expand our power quickly. Rhys's eyes were resolute, and he looked in the direction of the Colosseum.
"You mean?" Karn followed Rhy's eyes, guessing most of his thoughts, and then said, "No, that pseudo-iron fire beast is not much worse than the real iron fire beast, you go in, only afraid of bad luck." ”
"If I don't go into the tiger's den, I have to go in and unite my warriors, and with Robert and Lady Anne arranged, it shouldn't be difficult for me to avoid the pseudo-iron fire beast. ”
"Well, I'll take care of the contact with Robert in the future, we are both minor nobles, and we are both from the subcontinent, and it is only natural that we occasionally drink and be nostalgic. Karn nodded in agreement, and turned to signal the two women to take care of the Rhys brothers.
The starry sky is still beautiful, if it weren't for walking in the long desert for too long, he has eaten almost the lizard king's meat, Su Anna is a little fond of this clear and bright night sky, but now, he and Su Yun are facing a desperate situation without food again. Barbara aside, the Barbara lizard can maintain its physical strength without eating these days, so much to Su Anna's surprise, she discussed with Su Yun, and felt that it was the strange blue beads that gave the two beasts the ability to absorb the essence of heaven and earth similar to plants, because they always glowed with blue light from time to time.
Suddenly, the lizard stopped, shrugged its big nose, grinned, squatted, and began to run wildly. Su Yun, who had not fully recovered, was almost turned upside down. Seeing that Barbara did not move, Su Anna knew that there was no danger, but she was not in a hurry, but she couldn't be separated too far from Su Yun, she squatted down, jumped into the air, Barbara rolled her tail, rolled it up on her back, and followed closely behind Barbara.
In a moment, a wall of blue light appeared in front of him, and the points of light slowly creeped in it.
"Fluorescent bugs!" Suanna exclaimed, understanding why the lizard was so excited.
At this moment, the beast had already thrown Su Yun to the ground, wandering in the sea of insects, its long tongue dancing in a circle in the air, and the saliva at the corners of its mouth flowed all the way, with a posture of wanting to kill them all.
What excites Er Su is not actually fluorescent insects, but an endless low flower bush in the distance, where these fluorescent insects come from, and in the center of the grass, there is a lake, reflecting the starry sky and flying insects, which can no longer be described as beautiful. Some birds, like lizards, weave through the swarms to prey, but these insects do not care, and step on the nectar themselves.
Barbara's movements made him even more happy. You saw that he rolled Su Yun onto his back for the first time, rushed to the small lake with the two of them, bowed his back, threw the two into the lake, and jumped into it himself.
"It's so hot"
"Chirp"
Then there was the exclamation of two people and one beast, and they climbed ashore in embarrassment. The lake water was a little hot, and the two of them realized that the place was no longer cold, but so warm.
The lizard came to Su Anna's side with a round belly, and glanced at the two of them with contempt, as if to say, "You really don't know." And threw a strange little beast on the ground, apparently it had just hunted.
The good times didn't last long, Su Yun just gave a roasted beast leg to Su Anna, and Barbara, who was lying on the edge of the lake, exploded his hair, and the four tails began to howl at the surface of the lake. Looking at the lizard again, it had already slipped away from the lake and ran towards Su Anna, and the birds and insects in the air were also rioting and scattering.
In this case, the two already knew that a great enemy was coming, so they turned over the wide back of the lizard and let it run backwards.
"Barbara, go. When Suanna saw Barbara standing there, she knew that this guy was fighting again, and she had to fight everything before she stopped.
Barbara wagged his tail slightly, and his body slowly stepped back, without looking back.
At this moment, a whirlpool on the surface of the water burst out, and with a stroke, a conical head two or three feet in size rushed out, and two slender whips shot at the four-tailed blue fox Barbara with great agility.
"What a big snake. ”
Before Su Yun, who was sitting on Brazil's back, spoke, another whirlpool on the surface of the water, and a head that was half a minute larger than just now rushed out, and there was a sarcoma bulge in the center of the head. Two more long sides shot at Barbara, who had just avoided the attack.
"Two. ”
"Sanjo, how can this have horns?"
"Four, and claws. ”
"Five, two paws..."
"Barbara, run..."
Su Anna listened to Su Yun behind her and screamed, not knowing what was going on behind her. She turned her head and looked at the lake, and couldn't help but gasp, her newly warmed body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and then she also shouted "Barbara, run..."
