Chapter 494: Make a big deal
Those two people left happily with the money, they were very relieved about the snow fox, after all, a beast is a beast, no matter how smart it is, what can it do?
Rudolph walked over and picked up the chicken, looked at it, and then threw it on the ground: "Tell the cook to get this, and eat this at night." The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info told her to pluck her hair, and she roasted it whole. ”
returned to the snow fox, picked it up, entered the house, and touched its head: "If you are not in a hurry, you have to say more, I don't understand it, take care of your injuries, and talk about it at night." ”
I love this fox too much, and even stealing chickens and hurting people is blamed, if it was someone else, I would have peeled it a long time ago, and even if a skin is cut, it can be worth five gold coins.
Cheng Qianxun wanted to say, but he didn't know how to speak, thinking about it, except for the screaming, who could understand, even if he made it clear now, he couldn't find a helper for a while, and he could only talk about it when he transformed at night.
Rudolph didn't say anything about her, not a word about the forty copper coins. He put her on the table, listened to the chatter of the other knights who were not on patrol, and when it was almost evening, he carried her upstairs.
He laid her on the bed and untied the bandage that had bandaged the wound. Rudolph's movements are so gentle that it makes people's hearts soften for a while.
When the last rays of sunlight shining on the window from the west disappeared, Cheng Qianxun finally transformed into a person. But looking at Rudolph, she still couldn't say, damn it, why did you have to make her dumb.
After thinking about it, she got out of bed, put on her shoes and cloak, and went outside.
Rudolph knew there must be something wrong with her, so he followed her. When I passed through the hall, I saw a knight at the table preparing a meal, and I saw Rudolph standing up when he went downstairs.
But Rudolph didn't sit down, and followed Cheng Qianxun all the way outside, so the knight also walked out of the house with him.
Standing in the courtyard, she looked left and right, and finally pointed to Rudolph's short sword at his waist.
Rudolph quickly understood, drew his sword, and gave it to her. A knight's sword will not be given to anyone except in an emergency or by someone he trusts the most.
Cheng Qianxun held the short sword and did not move in front of the still open door.
"What's wrong?" A knight couldn't help but ask, it was very cold outside.
As if guarding against something, could someone from outside come in? Rudolph was so clever that he understood, and asked, "Is there someone who wants to attack us?" ”
Cheng Qianxun turned to Rudolph and nodded, she couldn't speak, she could only use this method to inform.
"Impossible, who's going to hit us?" There are people behind him who don't believe it.
The drawbridges outside were all hoisted, and Rudolph thought for a while and then asked, "Is there someone inside who wants to rebel?" She nodded.
"How many?"
Cheng Qianxun used a short sword to write a number "30" on the snow, Arabic numerals were invented in India, first introduced to Arabia, and only introduced to Europe in the twelfth century, but they only knew that they were introduced from Arabia, so they became Arabic numerals.
Those knights couldn't read it, but Rudolph could understand it, and he frowned slightly: "When?" ”
How do you express this? After thinking about it, she shook her head slightly, maybe in the middle of the night, but there was no guarantee that they would attack immediately.
Rudolph only thought about it for a few seconds, then took the short sword from her hand and inserted it into the scabbard: "Go back to eat first, be fast." ”
Two roast chickens were served, and after a while, no one ate them. And Cheng Qianxun deliberately didn't eat it, to see what Rudolph would do.
In fact, Rudolph is also waiting to see how the knights react. Those knights ate other things, but they didn't touch the roast chicken, the roast chicken that was bitten to death by the fox, it must feel weird to eat, anyway, there are other meats here, and we will talk about it when the other meat is finished.
After Rudolph saw it clearly, he smiled at Cheng Qianxun, ripped off all the chicken thighs, put two on Cheng Qianxun's plate, he put two on the plate, and poured some honey on her. Then push in half a jar of honey and push it out some: "Eat roast chicken to use honey." ”
Honey is a good thing, and I don't usually have much to eat, but I am a little unhappy to match the chicken that the fox bites to death.
One of the knights finally touched the honey jar, and he tore off the chicken breast. The three of them, right in front of the other knights, feasted on roast chicken.
After eating, Rudolph smiled and asked, "How does it taste?" ”
"Good!" The knight wiped his mouth, and the two roast chickens were left with an empty shelf. But the neck and the head, not eaten, stood up, brushed his fingers off the neck area, and sat down again.
What's going on? The other knights looked at them in a daze, and finally one of them understood and cried out, "The chicken was wiped to death." "The sharp knife wound on the neck, even after being roasted by the fire, is why Rudolph asked to be roasted, not cut and cooked.
Like an initiation, the knights finally understood and talked about it. Since Rudolph knew that the chicken was not bitten to death by a fox, why did he still pay?
Rudolph smiled slightly: "We're going to do a big job tonight." ”
More than 20 knights who wanted to kill Rudolph, become their own masters, and divide the tax money here, came to the castle in the middle of the night.
The door was closed, but the little door was still open. It's been like this every night since Rudolph arrived, so it proves that he hasn't noticed it yet.
One by one, they crept in through the small door, and when they all arrived, they looked left and right, and there was silence, except for the firelight in the hall, and it seemed that the hired knights were all sleeping in the hall, leaning against the fireplace.
One by one, they all quietly drew their swords, and then they held their swords together and looked at each other, and then rushed forward.
Soon after, the silence in the courtyard was broken by the howl of ghosts and wolves. Of the more than 20 people, the seven or eight who walked fast in front of them all covered their pierced and bleeding feet and screamed, and they couldn't restrain themselves and fell even worse. There is a half-foot-long nail board on the ground, but it is buried in snow, so it cannot be seen.
If you come in the evening, you might still be able to see it. But they had to come in the middle of the night, for there were knights patrolling according to the rules, and from their sloppy appearance they must have been absent-minded, but if they were killed, they would alarm the people in the castle. Even if the number of people is relatively small, once they close the door, they have to climb over the wall to enter, all the way to conquer, for such a strong castle, they may not have the confidence to rely on more than 20 people to fight down.
Before he could come back to his senses, a random arrow shot down from the second and third floors of the castle. They had to run to the side with their swords, because they couldn't get out, and the small door that came in was closed with a "bang", and they couldn't open it no matter how they opened. It's really a dog shut!
In this second round of tossing, the casualties were halved. But the remaining dozen or so people still have to fight, and there is no way out. The planks and barrels became shields, covering their bodies, and finally rushed into the hall.
Seeing that the hall was empty, only the fire in the fireplace was still burning, so let's go upstairs.
They were almost running to the second floor, when suddenly two knights appeared in front of them, and they slashed at them condescendingly, and behind them stood Rudolph and the woman, who stood there with cold eyes, holding swords in their hands, and as long as the people in front of them had an accident, they took over.
Running back, no, there are also six knights on the first floor, and whoever dares to come down will have one sword.
More than a dozen people were blocked on the narrow stairs, you pushed me, the long sword and heavy sword were useless, and the opponent's light short sword was like a poisonous snake's attack, fast and fast, and only corpses could be left.
Cheng Qianxun and Rudolph stood at the top of the stairs and watched as the knight carried all the corpses to the courtyard, and the wounded in the courtyard were also tied up. The cook and the servants began to fetch water and wash the stairs. The water in the well was mixed with blood and flowed downstairs, and the cook smeared it with a cloth a few more times, and the smell of blood became much lighter.
Buckets of blood squeezed out of the cloth poured directly into the courtyard, staining the snow a pale red.
It took less than half an hour to wipe out more than 20 people. On his own side, except for a small injury and a small cut on his arm, the others did not even break the skin.
Sitting in the hall, Rudolph handed out a reward of fifty copper coins each.
After the last knight finished, Cheng Qianxun walked over and stretched out his hand.
Rudolph was stunned, and the knights who were counting the money next to him laughed. But Cheng Qianxun is serious, her hand is still outstretched, since she has reported the news, then she should be rewarded.
Rudolph smiled and shook his head: "Okay, then count you fifty dollars, I'll help you remember." ”
Cheng Qianxun shook her head, she should have the most credit, if it wasn't for her to report the news, it wouldn't have become the current situation.
"I have clear rewards and punishments, so count you as a hundred coins." Rudolph said slyly: "But the indemnity of forty coins will come from you." ”
This time Cheng Qianxun is angry, one hundred minus forty, ten more than the original!
She nodded angrily, and then jerked out. Everyone stood up curiously to see what she was doing.
I saw her walk quickly to the courtyard, walk to a pile of corpses and start to turn over. There were really people with money bags, and they turned over four bloody corpses and found a money bag from one corpse.
Shake it, there are so many money, continue to flip.
Rudolph smiled bitterly and asked, "You didn't think about searching the pockets of the dead?" ”
The knight smiled and said, "Of course you will receive the reward first, these poor ghosts can't carry a wallet of fifty dollars with them, right?" ”
The others were not brought, and Cheng Qianxun panted and set his eyes on the captives behind him. The ruthless light in his eyes made the hearts of these four guys who were injured and not dead beat wildly.
One of them also cried out: "I don't have any money, but I have a chest under my bed with five silver coins, and I will give it to you if you take my life." ”
The other three also cried out, wanting to use money to save their lives.
Seeing Cheng Qianxun turn around and run to the door, Rudolph shouted: "Close the door, the money is mine!" ”
As a result, of course, the money belonged to Rudolph, and Rudolph asked the knights and servants to go to the homes of more than twenty people to raid the houses, and take back everything that was valuable. The four men who were alive were hanged at the city gates on charges of assassinating nobles, and hung with other corpses until the snow melted. Not torturing them is already considered forgiveness.
After a day and a night, there were more than 20 people. (To be continued.) )
