CHAPTER XIII
The two of them were located higher than Sulfona's house, on a small hillside. www.biquge.info Looking down from here, you can see a path stretching out of the house of the Sulfur family. There were several dark shadows on the path, one tall and one short, walking in front, followed by a large number of people, and in the middle a man was sitting diagonally on his horse, rubbing his buttocks. Sulfona's eyes were sharp, and she immediately saw the high hat on the man's head.
"It's Gregory!"
When she looked closely, she found that the person walking in front was also a familiar face, it was yesterday's tall thin man and Scarface. The three men arrived at Sulfona's house with soldiers in their arms and began slamming down the door. After a while, Sulfona's parents came out. Sulfona's father began to talk to Scarface, and Sulfona's mother walked briskly back to the house. Sulfur looked at it for a while, and suddenly a thought popped into her head.
"Are they coming for me?"
Tifa gave Sulfona a surprised look.
"You're a little enlightened today. It did come to you. ”
After hearing this, Sulfur immediately couldn't hold back. She wanted to go back as soon as possible to protect her father and mother. She knew that she had chopped off Gregory's face yesterday, and that he must have come to find her bad luck. My father was just a farmer, and my mother was even more frail and sickly, so if there was a conflict and there were deaths and injuries, how could I get it?
"Don't worry, don't worry!"
Tifa grabbed Sulfona, but Sulfona broke free. Tifa pressed her whole body down, but Sulfona held herself up little by little. Sulfona suddenly had a wit, because she realized that her current posture was exactly what the Great Sword had taught her yesterday to "crouch down and pick up fruit".
Sulfona suddenly felt a loss of strength, and Tifa finally suppressed Sulfona.
"Gregory saw you for the first time yesterday, and he doesn't know who you are. If you go out now, you will be exposed. ”
"Then why did he come to my house?"
"He would go to all the homes of people who had daughters and then come and recognize them in person. As long as you don't show up, he can't be sure if it's you. ”
Sulfona relented when she heard this. Sure enough, Sulfona's mother came out of the house again, shaking her head. It seems that Sulfur was not found. Gregory angrily yells at Sulfona's father and mother, but the tall and skinny man and Scarface remain motionless. After scolding for a while, Gregory got back on his horse and continued on his way. There are still many families who have given birth to daughters in this area.
"He may decide to come back to your house after walking around. ”
"So what to do?"
Sulfona suddenly ran out of ideas. If the opponent is still the same three people from yesterday, Sulfona feels that she can still handle it. But they still have a large number of soldiers with them, and that number of soldiers alone can crush Sulfona to death.
"That's why I'm here!" Tifa puffed up her chest, "I snuck out this morning when I found out that Gregory was coming to hunt you down. You wear my maid's uniform, and then you go inside the castle. Gregory has been out all day, and no one will recognize you. ”
Sulfona listened to Tifa's words and was a little moved in her heart.
"But...... What about my parents? He can't find me, maybe he'll do something to my parents. ”
Tifa glanced at Sulfona slightly.
"Your family relationship is so good. ”
It was then that Tina remembered that Tifa didn't like her father, and that her mother had died young.
"I have an idea. Tifa said, "We've been cornered now. I could die at any moment, and Gregory could poison your parents. So we have to resist!"
"Resistance?"
"That's right. Tifa's eyes narrowed, "Kill that slut...... This is the only way out for us. ”
Sulfona thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't think of a better way. Then she was suddenly stunned.
"Why don't you ask about that big sword?"
"Ah, yes, I should have asked about that greatsword. ”
Sulfona frowned.
"You knew she was leaving, did you?"
"Listen to me, Sulfona, I've read my father's notes, some of them. I've had some guesses, those things are complicated, and I'll tell you when the right opportunity comes......"
Tifa's face was very embarrassed, and Sulfona just stared at her blankly, completely unable to hear Tifa's words. Before, Sulfona felt that Tifa was the perfect girl, or closer to her own definition of perfection. Every word Tifa said, every smile she smiled, Sulfur would be seriously engraved in her mind. But now that she listened to Tifa's words, the missing Simona came to her mind. Sulfona had never seen such a maverick, and her feelings for Simona were even more complicated.
"I think we should now unanimously get past the current difficulties and then think about anything else. Tifa said, "The demon in that castle is the root of all evil, and we must deal with it!"
Sulfona was redirected to reality by Tifa's words. She has never been a good thinker, or a good choice. She chose the most direct way.
"If we kill that demon, will my life be able to go back to the way it was?"
"What is it like?" asked Tifa, confused.
"It's about chopping wood and carrying water every day, and then living peacefully with your parents. ”
"Aren't you already able to defeat the mercenaries?
Sulfona just looked at Tifa and didn't speak again. At this time, she suddenly remembered Simona's words.
"The higher the swordsmanship, the worse the mix. The more severe the person, the more serious the injury. ”
That seems to be the case. When Sulfona was not exposed to swordsmanship, her life was peaceful. After learning Tifa's swordsmanship, there were a few waves. When he learns Simona's swordsmanship and defeats the tall and thin man and Scarface, his life completely shatters into a different picture.
"Sulfona, you're a little weird now......" Tifa looked at Sulfona suspiciously, "You've become, a little different from yesterday......"
"It's no different...... "you haven't answered my question yet." ”
"Well, I promise you. If you kill that demon, that slut, life will become the way it was. Tifa sighed and said, "But I also have a question for you, how strong are you now, what does the great sword teach you, or what secrets do you have?"
"I don't know......" Sulfura shrugged after a moment's thought, "but I should be stronger now than I was yesterday." ”
Sulfona looked at her palms and muttered to herself.
"Stronger, in every way, stronger. ”
The two of them discussed it, and then quietly flowed into the castle. Sulfona had seen the castle from afar many times, but it was the first time she had entered. The castle was about dozens of times the size of Sulfona's house, and in front of it was a large arch. Guarding the door were two guards, with bright silver armor on their heads, who bowed their heads slightly when they saw Tifa approaching. Although she felt that Sulfur Na looked a little eye-catching, she was also wearing the clothes of a servant in the castle, and the eldest lady was leading the way, so she didn't dare to stop and ask. Tifa secretly pulled Sulfona's sleeve, and Sulfona realized that the way she looked around had aroused the suspicion of others, and quickly bowed her head and remained silent.
The two men did not take the main gate in the middle, which was very wide and opened to a horse path, which was used for hunting on horseback. The two men cautiously walked through the small door next to it, surrounded by the rain-eroded courtyard wall, which was made of blackened bluestone. Sulfur didn't dare to look more, and then looked at the floor tiles under her feet. The ground was neatly paved with stones for a boxy path, and Sulfona's bare feet felt a little chill on it.
After passing through the three doors again, Tifa breathed a sigh of relief. The two are now in the cloister of the castle. The cloister was pitch black, with only a little sunlight shining through the windows on either side. The windows are made of stone walls, each sunken down about half a metre deep, and the openings are slightly lower than the human head. The windowsill is so small that it can only accommodate one person to stand. Sulfona tried to lean over to look out, but was pulled back by Tifa.
"Luckily, there aren't many people in the castle ......"
"Usually there are a lot of people here?" asked Sulfona, confused. The two of them had been here for a while, and they hadn't met anyone yet.
"Usually there are a few, there are about a dozen male and female maids, but some of them are in charge of procurement, and they are not here now. Others were taken away by Gregory, the most timid of all, and if he didn't bring enough people, he wouldn't dare to go out at all. Now is a good time for us to act. ”
After hearing this, Sulfona's heart suddenly moved. She remembered that Simona had said that there were twelve male and fifteen maids in the castle, and two were in charge of purchasing. Although Sulfona thought she was lying to herself at the time, it now seemed that Simona did know something about it.
Tifa sneaks up with Sulfur to the third floor of the castle, which is the castle's bedroom and study. As soon as I got out of the hallway, I met a maid with a duster, dressed similarly to Sulfur, but she looked about thirty years old. The maid frowned when she saw Tifa.
"Miss Tifa, where are you going again? Mr. Gregory is looking for you, I'm afraid you've got something to do again. ”
This maid is actually the mistress here, Biyulai's personal maid. Now Sulfona's father, Zimmerman, is not very busy, and Bioulai is in this castle with one hand covering the sky. Usually the little maid in this house, the old deacon, is afraid of Biyulai. As the so-called one person ascends to heaven, this personal maid gradually becomes high-flying. It stands to reason that Tifa is the daughter of a nobleman, and her status is much higher than hers, and she can't speak in this tone at all. It's just that Tifa is usually in the castle, with great hatred in his heart, and he tends to be feminine and forbearing. This personal maid had been rude to Tifa many times before, and Tifa bowed her head and remained silent, which also fueled her arrogance.
But this time, Tifa ignored the personal maid. Tifa just turned to look at Sulfona.
"It's time to start. She usually doesn't go out of her bedroom, and now I'm afraid it's in it. Tifa gestured to the next room, "But this maid is a bit of an eyesore. ”
"Do you want to start with her?"
Sulfona raised her little face to look at the maid, and then suddenly with a single step, her hand rested on the maid's wrist. This step was abrupt, as if Sulfona was about to fall down when she was unsteady on her feet, and she could only reach out to support the person next to her. This is exactly one of the sixty-four swordsmanship that Simona taught to Sulfona: "Fall while walking on the road". These sixty-four swordsmanship can be used with or without a sword, and every movement is like a small action in daily life. The whole is connected together in a natural way, which is exactly what it is."
Lazy swordsmanship". The most important thing about this set of swordsmanship is to use it naturally, not to have too much scheming, to calculate and calculate, and it is most suitable for people like Sulfona who are not scheming. In addition, Sulfona didn't regard it as a swordsmanship at all, she just wanted to take the duster from the maid's body.
Beoulai's personal maid really thought that Sulfura had fallen down because of her unsteady footsteps, she had already looked at Tifa unpleasantly, and she was not even happy to look at Sulfura, and now she was trying to make a few sarcastic remarks. She didn't spit out her words before she could say them, and she felt a sharp pain in her wrist. Sulfona's fingers slammed down like small ingots, and the maid groaned. By the time she came to her senses, the duster in her hand was already lying in Sulfona's hand. The duster, said to be a duster, is actually a regular pole that is used to clean the windows in the hallway. The windows are very high, and if you wipe them with a rag, you might fall down, so you can use this very long duster, which is probably a little shorter than Sulfona's height. Sulfona took it and waved it, feeling like she had a short stick.
The maid's eyes widened in surprise when she saw that the duster in her hand was gone. She saw a gray shadow of a stick suddenly striking from underneath the blow, and then her eyes went black and she was unconscious. Sulfur waved the duster in her hand again, feeling that it was still very easy to use. She didn't really want to use Simona's swordsmanship, and the gap between her and Simona couldn't be eliminated in a moment. But Sulfona is now helping Tifa not only for Tifa, but also for saving her parents. As the saying goes, the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, and Sulfona now has to use all her strength. But she didn't do anything ruthlessly, she just wanted to scare the maid away. I didn't want the power on my stick to be amazing, so I directly beat the maid to death.
There was such a big commotion outside, and Biyulai inside also heard it. She didn't move, but her voice came.
"Who's making noise outside?"
Hearing this, Sulfona snorted coldly.
"Slut, you still pretend to be presentable. Tifa then turned to Sulfona and said, "Listen to me, that old demon is the best at deceiving people. You have to remember that we did what we agreed. Gotta kill that slut. ”
"Naturally. ”
Sulfona nodded.
Tifa rushed through the door with Sulfona. It was the first time that Sulfona had seen what Tifa's "slut" looked like. I saw this Biyulai sitting on a chair, wearing a white gown and decorated with lace. Her pale brown hair fluttered in the sun, and her big eyes set on her fair face, making her look kind. Judging from the wrinkles on his eyebrows and the corners of his mouth, he is about 30 years old, but he is still as beautiful as a flower. Beyolai has a pen in his hand and writes something on a piece of paper. Seeing Tifa come in, she put the pen down in her hand.
"It turned out to be Tifa. I always advise you not to cause trouble, not to go crazy. You said that a girl's family, how can you always cause so many troubles?"
Sulfona felt as if she had been provoked by fire. This woman is not fierce, but her eyes seem to be like they want to eat people sometimes. Tifa just sneered and didn't talk. Biyulai felt confused in her heart, she naturally knew that she didn't like herself, but she usually had to reply to her words according to the etiquette. I don't know why I have become so arrogant and unruly today? Thinking of the strange movement outside, Biyulai suddenly stood up.
"What do you want to do?"
"What did you do?"
"I'm going to call someone in!"
Every time Biyulai asked, Tifa wouldn't fight, just sneered. Every time Biyulai asked, her face would be a point worse, and in the end, her face was as white as paper. Sulfona had never seen anyone whose face could change so quickly. Beoulai suddenly smiled.
"I see, even if I call someone, no one will come?"
"Of course. Your stupid brother has taken most of the people in this castle with him. Your valet won't be able to save you. Tifa sneered and said, "I didn't think you would be today!"
"Is it Gregory...... Beoulai sighed, "I often say that he can't make it, but he himself doesn't believe it. was praised by the people around him, and he didn't know how many pounds and taels he had. Why did he use so many people this time?"
Sulfona was stunned when she heard this. The Bioulai she heard was the evil slut in Tifa's mouth, and she always thought that Gregory's persecution of Tifa was all instigated by Bioulai, and that her parents would suffer because of Bioulai. But now listening to Beoulai, it seems that she has no idea what is going on.
"Don't you know what Gregory did yesterday? didn't he say it?"
"How do I know about him?"
Biyulai said lightly, and the surprise in Sulfona's heart was even greater. If Beyolai wasn't so bad, she might have been able to spare her parents, and everything would have gone back to normal. She was about to ask when Sulfona grabbed her hand.
"She's a demon! you're going to listen to her nonsense!" Tifa's eyes widened, tears rolling in her sockets, "she's the best at deceiving people." Think about it, what did I say to you when you came to this house?"
When Sulfona heard this, her heart softened. Although Tifa had lied to herself, she protected herself when Gregory and the two mercenaries raised their fists and swung their butcher knives at her. Anyway, compared to the stranger she met for the first time, Sulfona should still believe Tifa's words.
Beyolai sees the interaction between the two people clearly. She nodded.
"Little girl, did you kill my maid? Tifa's little three-legged cat kung fu, I can still see that she doesn't have that ability. She dares to come to me and have a showdown with me, you are afraid that she will rely on her. "You have so much power at a young age, so you must be cautious." I will also advise you to ask the truth before making a decision, and judge according to your own ideas. ”
Sulfura thought about it and felt that what Biyulai said also made some sense.
"Don't believe the old demon's nonsense!" Tifa glared at Bioulai fiercely, "Okay, you want to find out the truth, don't you?"
Sulfura turned her gaze to Biyulai, but Biyulai nodded calmly.
"Yes, I killed her. "I am your mother's personal servant, and we have lived together since we were very young. Although she is a master and I am a servant, our relationship is like that of sisters. The guide led us to meet the man, who was not a lord at that time, but just a knight of a declining family. As soon as we saw that person, our eyes couldn't leave. I ate with your mother, slept together, and fell in love with the same man together. There's no way around it. ”
"Is that why you killed my mother?"
Hearing this, Beoulai's eyes suddenly widened.
"It's all her fault. Obviously he was going to die, but he still made that man unrelenting. The man didn't even look at me squarely. ”
"Are you talking about my father?" said Sulfur with a cold snort, "wasn't he deceived by you and didn't even come when my mother died?"
When Biyulai heard this, his eyes widened as if he had heard something unbelievable. She looked at Tifa's face again and again, and after making sure that Tifa was not lying, Beoulai suddenly collapsed in her chair. It didn't look like a person sitting down, it looked more like it was being sucked into a chair. Biyulai let out a long sigh of relief, looking as if he had suddenly aged ten years.
"He's not with you? I see, we've been fighting for so many years, and it's all in vain. He doesn't like you or me, and none of us sisters won. ”
Note: I didn't update it yesterday because of some practical things, but I wrote more today. Actually, I like to write long chapters. Every time I divide the chapters, I get struggling.
Looking forward to everyone's comments.
