At noon, it was the time of the inn to eat, and there were guests at every table, and the maids were busy with the smiles of laborers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The door was slammed open, and a stocky man with a big belly walked in, followed by six guards and the like.
The ladyboy boss's face changed, and he greeted him and sneered.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Qiu Liannu?"
Qiu Liannu stroked his beard and examined the guests.
"Business is good." The fat man touched his beard and said.
"It's just that there are no guests. It's full now. Can you come back next time? "The owner was embarrassed.
"Huh?" The fat man glared at the boss and raised his hand behind him.
The six men he brought with him all sneered and whipped out their wooden wands.
As soon as they saw this posture, the faces of those guests changed dramatically and they left.
"Hahahaha, there really aren't any guests." Smirking, the fat man sat down. "Serve your best wine and best food. Then have Jessica come and serve me. The amount of tax paid to the queen should not be less, well, I think, it is 100 gold coins. The fat man pinched his beard, squinted and said coldly.
"That, Master Qiu Liannu, we only gave it last week. Are you mistaken? The boss's face changed, and he smiled again.
"Is there one?" The fat man pretended to be puzzled.
An attendant behind him said, "No, my lord." ”
"So, you don't want to give it?" His eyes widened, "Do you need me to teach you the consequences of not paying taxes to the queen?" Well. ”
The two attendants drew their wands, and the tip of the wand glowed with red magic.
That's a sign, there was a shop that insisted on refusing to give money, and it was burned down by this fat man, and the civil court only treated it as a fire accident, and did not dare to touch the fat man and the minister behind him.
The boss turned pale and bowed his head dejectedly: "I, I'll pay." ”
"Yes, this is the good people of the Queen." The fat man was very proud.
The retinue dispersed the magic prepared and sat down in other seats with a smile.
"Where's my food and wine? Isn't Jessica here yet? The fat man shouted at the maids again.
The maids shivered and hid in the distance.
Suddenly looked at the door, revealing a hint of hope.
It turned out that Jessica saw the fat man coming, so she slipped out of the hotel and went to the market not far away to find Haotian back. Louise, who was with Haotian, heard that there was such an undishonorable nobleman who oppressed the commoners in the name of the queen, and she also followed angrily.
Haotian pushed the door in, casting a shadow on the fat man in the sun.
"Who?" The fat man turned his head to look.
"The knight canonized by Her Royal Highness the princess personally, Haotian."
"Her Majesty?!" The fat man was a little jealous. "What are you doing here?"
Louise stepped out from behind Haotian and pointed her wand at the fat man.
"I can't forgive you for collecting taxes in the name of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Babbling Phil Albrick."
While a few of her followers were preparing for the spell, Louise had finished chanting the spell and unleashed the magic.
"Ahhhh
Instead of a fireball flying out, it caused an explosion on the ground next to the table. A fist-sized pit was blown up, and the gravel hit the fat man's forehead, and blood was dripping with blood.
"I'm hurt, ahhh
"Kill her, you guys." The fat man shouted at his men.
After this moment, there were already four people ready for the fireball. A half-head-sized fireball gathered at the tip of the wand, pointing at Louise.
At this time, they heard the fat man's order, looked at each other, hesitated for a while, and beat Louise out.
Louise wasn't panicking, she knew it was going to be fine.
Haotian pulled out the Dale Flinka from his waist, "It's going to be up, sword." ”
"Oh, leave it to me, buddy."
Haotian blocked Louise, the back of his left hand was engraved with light, and his right hand brandished his sword to hit the four fireballs one by one. The blade glows and devours fireballs continuously.
"Uh, it's unpalatable." Absorb four fireballs, Dale Flinkado.
The attendants looked at each other and stepped back in some panic.
Haotian rushed up, reversed the blade of the sword, and struck the back and neck of these people with the side that did not open the blade, knocking them out with one blow. Then he lunged at the remaining two henchmen, who screamed and shot out.
Haotian swung his sword, and the amount of two shots was released from the sword body, colliding with the opponent's attack in the air. The "bang" explosion spread to a radius of two meters around, and Haotian rushed through the explosion area to force the two in front of him, and knocked the two people out with the hilt of his sword in the frightened eyes of the two.
In less than a minute, the retinue brought by the tax collector was all knocked down by Haotian.
"Ahh The maids screamed.
Haotian heard the sound and saw that just as he knocked down the six people, the fat man had already rushed out from under the table and pounced on Louise and Jessica at the door.
Louise held her wand, a little flustered, not pronouncing the incantation.
Jessica suddenly kicked the fat man in the forehead with a high kick, kicking him away.
Haotian arrived, put the sword on the fat man's neck, and with a slight force, he cut out a shallow wound and blood flowed out.
The fat man was drenched in cold sweat, his face was pale and he exclaimed, "Don't kill me, don't kill me." I, I'm a nobleman, I, I have a lot of money, I can give you a lot of money, don't kill me. ”
Haotian snorted: "Shut up." ”
The fat man hurriedly covered his mouth with his hands and looked at Haotian in fear.
"Are you alright, Louise?" Haotian turned his head and asked.
"Well, I'm fine." Louise shook her head.
Louise walked over and looked at the fat man.
"We are going to hand him over to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and let Her Highness decide how to punish him." Louise Road.
The fat man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded again and again. "Uh-huh."
Haotian looked at the fat man, and added another point of strength to the sword, and the wound on the fat man's neck became a little bigger, and he was so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky. The crotch was wet, and I was actually scared to pee.
The maids around them all covered their mouths and laughed.
"Until then, get the money back that you extorted."
"Yes, yes, yes." The fat man was afraid of Ji Haotian, so he quickly took out all the money bags from his arms and put them at Haotian's feet.
"Jessica, how much money you have been extorted, get it back yourself."
"Well, thank you, Haotian." Jessica crouched down and counted 200 gold coins from a purse. "That's all."
There were four or five money bags left, and one money bag was full of 500 gold coins, about two thousand gold coins.
"As for the rest, Louise, you can take it." Haotian Dao.
"Me?" Louise was a little surprised.
"Yes, you and Jessica go and return the money to the nearby shop that was extorted by the fat man. As for me, I brought this fat man to Ann Rietta. "Haotian Dao.
"Well, alright." Louise thought about it, and it didn't seem like a difficult task. For Haotian, this incident is not dangerous to Louise, and it can make Louise do something to make her happy.
Haotian glanced at the entourage that he had knocked down again.
"Tie them up first, and deal with them when I get back from the palace."
The maids shouted, "Yes." Emotionally, he tied up his retinue, who had lost the will to resist, and locked him in a room.
Haotian kicked the fat man, withdrew his sword, and pressed the fat man away.
Louise also leaves with Jessica.
