Chapter 137: Civil War (10)

The two warriors nodded and walked away, and I watched them disappear into the dark hallway before continuing up with the rest of the men.

The rooms on the second floor were the quarters of the clergy and some distinguished guests, in the middle was the lord's hall for the usual meetings, and at the end of the corridor there was a chapel for the confession and mass of the people whose souls were in need of salvation in the castle, and in the small chapel that looked simple and narrow from the outside there was actually a secret door, and there was a staircase leading to the stable behind the castle, which could be used as an emergency escape if necessary in case of our critical situation.

I sent soldiers to investigate the rumors first, also out of this consideration, saving people is important, but saving a small life is an important prerequisite for rescuing hostages, after all, no one is the omnipotent Zorro.

The third floor of the castle is mainly my living space, under normal circumstances, there will be no other idle people waiting to disturb me, the location here is the highest, relatively speaking, the view is relatively wide, in my high-sounding disgusting words, it is also close to God on the top of the clouds, it is convenient for me to examine the fallen soul, of course, everything is beautiful except for the winter freeze to death through the hall.

The prison where Miss Crescenti was held was a jutting tower above the back of the castle, accessible only by a spiral staircase, where the previous lord had hidden his mistress, and where the last lord had hidden his mistress, an inaccessible and winding place, the ideal place for all men to get their hands dirty.

"You stay at the top of the stairs for a while, to ensure the safety of the retreat, and once our whereabouts are discovered by the enemy, we will immediately warn and warn us, understand?"

The chosen soldier followed silently, and the bull's long and harsh training of him made the soldiers obey the orders and prohibitions, and became a trustworthy trump card in my hands, for these people, the important thing is not how impossible the task is, but how to order them to do it.

Just as I whispered an order, a pair of patrolling enemy soldiers suddenly appeared on the side of the corridor, and the soldiers immediately nervously clenched their weapons and prepared for battle, as if facing a great enemy, and fine beads of sweat appeared on my forehead, and in my heart I cursed God who likes to play tricks in the most vicious language.

"It looks like a lot of bad luck, and I'm going to add a few ghosts and wild ghosts to the damp hallway." I thought as I slowly slid my hand back and touched the hilt of the dagger.

However, the enemy did not seem to notice the stiff row, and they probably thought we were another group of soldiers who had just patrolled, and the light of the two rows of torches gradually converged to illuminate the darkest corners of the corridor, and a fat rat screamed and ran away.

By the bright light, I could see the face of the first enemy soldier on the other side, and the other party walked solemnly in the head with a tiger face, but he could not hide the drowsy and tired expression under the pretended fierce mask.

We passed by the enemy, time was so slow that it seemed to be deliberately playing tricks on us, almost frozen for a moment, close enough to even smell them, the sour smell of bathing for a long time, coupled with the undried blood stains and the disgusting bad breath in the mouth full of messy beards, smoked so much that I almost lost my breath, and barely concentrated to stabilize my body and walk past them step by step.

Just when I was relaxing and relieved when I thought the danger was over, a voice that I didn't want to hear suddenly sounded behind me: "Stop! ”

Damn, it's exposed, it's inevitable to fight after all!

At that time, such a sentence suddenly popped up in my mind, a nervous chill flashed in my back, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword was about to draw the sword out of the sheath, and the other party walked over and made up the second half of the sentence unhurriedly: "Brother, did you just come up after enjoying the kitchen lady who was locked in the stable?" I've never seen you after so many years of going back and forth, God forbid, tell me quickly, did the lords let you come up and replace us? I'm going to suffocate my brother this night! ”

The cooks and maids who used to live on the first floor of the castle were all imprisoned in the stables for the enjoyment of the enemy soldiers, no wonder there was not a single figure on the bottom floor that was once chaotic and noisy, these beasts!

I gritted my teeth and tried to squeeze out a contrived expression, and greeted it with a hippie smile: "How should I describe it to you, brother, those cooks are so delicious, their white fat thighs can definitely hold your ********, unless your thing is smaller than a chopped sausage, what can be more exciting than playing with a chick without spending money?" Go down, some of the weak ones have been tortured in turn and are dying, and you won't even be able to survive any later, and you won't be able to enjoy the feeling of condescending conquest, let's replace the patrol, don't worry, good brother! ”

The soldier who led the other side laughed when he heard this, and his subordinates were also swearing, and came over and patted me on the shoulder affectionately, and his cheap appearance made people want to punch me hard at the big pie face, he tacitly looked at me***** opened his mouth and said:

"Then thank you, brother, may God bless your generosity, if God can hear the lingering words of the cook in my ooxx, haha......"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and beckoned his men to prepare to leave, and just took two steps, as if remembering something, he suddenly stopped, turned to stare at me playfully, and asked:

"But then again, brother, your accent is a little strange, more like those Lorraine people who have suffered from the plague, the lords have made rules, you know, the soldiers above have broken their legs, although they don't have a good time, but at least they have to be reasonable, and they just go through the motions."

While stretching out his voice, the other party stretched out his hand and scratched the itchy back, and asked me absentmindedly, "What's the password tonight?" I don't think you'll be made to lose your memory by the below, right? That's crazy. ”

Password? Don't tell me that in this barbaric era, there is such a post-modern anti-infiltration method, is the enemy lord also a traverser? I opened my mouth and licked my dry lips with my tongue, and my mind raced to think about what to do next.

Whimsical luck has proven to be extremely irresponsible.

When I leisurely spit out the word turkey, I realized how unreliable it is to teach primary school history by a Chinese teacher, and I don't know anything about history, I don't know anything about turkey in this era, even the ancestors of Turkey have not yet entered the field of vision of Western Europeans, this time I really can't eat and go around.

I watched the other party's face, and suddenly changed to horror and hostility, and Hulala pulled out his sidearm to surround us, ten vs four, very good, there is a certain chance of turning the tables.

Just as I was thinking nonsense, a seemingly inconspicuous soldier on the other side put away his weapon, came over to greet me loudly, and hooked his shoulders as if he was very familiar:

"God forbid, it turned out to be you, little Dirk, it's all to blame the logistics officer who slammed the door for not giving too much tarpaulin, and the light of the torch can't completely illuminate your face as big as a horse's butt, haha, it's been a long time since I've seen my friend!" As he spoke, he enthusiastically gave me a bear hug and rubbed my shoulders with his oily dirty face, so that I couldn't refuse.

"You know?" The leader of the other party asked, looking sideways at his soldiers, as if they had found their own father.

"He and I are partners in the same village, we have played together since childhood, and this time we have been recruited by the lord to be soldiers, he was kicked by a horse when he was a child, and it is a little difficult to use, but thank God for his kindness to save a small life, and it is not bad to be stupid, this kid must have forgotten the password......"

The soldier he didn't know made up a logical lie with a blushing face and a heartbeat, deceiving his immediate superior, and the other party shrugged his shoulders and looked at me, as if he was sympathetic to this unfortunate encounter, Zhang Luo's subordinates put away their weapons, and a group of people lewdly talked about the kitchen girl's riddle-like bust and walked away.

"Who are you? Why help us? "When all the enemies disappeared at the staircase downstairs, I grabbed the soldier who was also observing the movement around me and asked.

"Adults don't have to know my name, I am a nightingale, belonging to the endless darkness, and only the birdcage is the last and only destination."

The other party saluted humbly and showed his identity: "A long time ago, Lord Kohler, let me go into the Low Countries to collect information, and I created a false identity for myself to sneak into a small lord's farm, and took advantage of the favorable conditions of the merchants there to collect a lot of information about the Low Countries. ”

"This invasion is led by the Earl of Amersfoort from Utrecht, and brings together Utrecht, Flefland, Gelderland, and most of the minor lords to participate.

"Please forgive me for my dereliction of duty, the expedition was completely a temporary and urgent call-up, at first it was said that it was to gather to defeat the bandits in the north, and then after two days of marching, it suddenly turned to the southeast, and after I reacted, there was no time to send a message in advance."

Looking for something? I touched my chin and fell into deep thought, so I said that there are mysterious objects in the castle that make outsiders worry, and I don't know exactly what it is as a lord, but these are not too important things, I quickly prioritized for myself, grabbed his shoulder and asked, "It doesn't matter, at least most of the people are still alive, I have more important things to ask you, where is Miss Crecenti now, do you know?" ”

He was speechless for a long time, which made me even more unconvinced of Miss Crescenty's current situation, and my mood immediately fell into the ice cave.

"I'm afraid it's not very good, she's locked up in the tower above, and there are two soldiers guarding outside, you better go and see for yourself!"
