Chapter 168: Triangle Formation
"You slave knows divination?" Count Mekne, who was very curious about Qin Dong's conclusion that her husband was dead, slowly sat opposite Qin Dong with her skirt and asked.
Qin Dong didn't know divination at all, he just said it casually based on experience, but he didn't expect him to be right, which also made him very strange. Count Meknezyelina has a noble temperament on her body and face, but at the same time she has a very strong wind and dust, so Qin Dong deduced from previous experience that this woman must be a noble lady of the upper class, and without a husband, a woman with a husband will not have such a temperament.
Qin Dong didn't answer her question, he took another bite of the apple and ate it, and didn't say until he finished eating, "Venerable madam, I think you can tell me your intentions!" ”
Count Mekne, Count Jielina looked at Qin Dong, took a bottle of red wine from the side, poured two glasses, pushed a glass to Qin Dong, and then got up and walked to the door to listen for a while, making sure that only soldiers were standing guard outside the door, and no one eavesdropped, before turning around, reaching out and dipping a little red wine in the wine glass, and drew a strange pattern on the table, the pattern was exactly the same as the pattern drawn by Qin Dong dragging the wolf corpse in the gladiatorial arena performance arena.
Qin Dong looked at the countess expressionlessly, he wasn't sure if this woman had come to connect with him, and he had to say the code words to determine whether it was true or not.
Sure enough, after finishing the painting, Count Meknezylina suddenly said a code word, Qin Dong immediately faced it, and when he saw that the code words were right, Count Meknejielina sighed: "I saw you leave a secret mark in the performance field, I didn't expect you to be a person in our organization, why did you fall into this step?" ”
"The world is unpredictable!" Qin Dong said. After eating the apple core, he took a sip from his wine glass, "Hmm." This wine is good, I haven't drunk it in a long time! Time is pressing, I'm not going to talk nonsense, I want you to find a way to get me out. ”
Count Meknezylina took a sip of wine, pondered for a while, and said, "To be honest, I haven't received orders from above for months, and I don't know if there's something wrong with them. If it weren't for your presence, I would have thought that our intelligence point in Constantinople would have been abandoned, otherwise it would not have happened that the superiors did not give orders for such a long time. I'll figure out how to do your thing, I think you should sue me if there's something wrong with it? ”
Qin Dong had long known that due to the death of Constantius, it would definitely cause a situation where the Black Mist Organization would be leaderless, but he was entangled in trivial matters. And there is no competent person to provoke the backbone of this intelligence organization. Besides, with just a list and related contact codes, it is basically impossible to fully grasp and receive the Black Mist Organization in a short period of time, but it doesn't matter, as long as there are contact codes and related codes in hand, it is only a matter of time before the Black Mist Organization is completely taken over.
Qin Dong pondered for a while and said: "I came this time on behalf of the above, and I will tell you in detail about the specific situation after I go out, the time is too tight now." I can't say a word or two, we'll talk about it in detail when I get out! ”
"Okay. Do you have any thoughts about escaping? Count Meknejelina asked.
Qin Dong raised his hands bound by thick iron chains and said: "Actually, these things don't have much effect on me, I can easily break the iron lock and open the iron chain, but I don't wear armor with defensive power, and I can't stop the bow and arrow from all around, they all know this, so every time I escort me, a large number of archers follow, I have no chance to escape at all, and when I am locked in the dungeon, the door of the prison door is useless to me, but the gate in and out of the dungeon is a heavy iron door, You can't use brute force to open it from the inside, the only way is to open it with a key from the outside, but unfortunately to attack the dungeon, you need a lot of manpower, and there is a beast fence outside the dungeon, if at the critical moment, the person guarding the dungeon opens the fence where the beast is imprisoned, and a large number of beasts rush out, and the rescuers will definitely not be able to resist the attack of a large number of beasts, I have thought about it carefully, this matter must not make a big move, you can only buy a person from their inside, let this person steal the key to the door of the dungeon, and trick the guards to open the gate, As soon as the door of the dungeon is opened, I can rush out as fast as I can, without giving these guards a chance to besiege! ”
Count Meknejelina thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, I'll figure out a way for this matter, you give me five days, if there is a result, someone will naturally inform you to get ready!" ”
As soon as Qin Dong was about to respond, the door of the room was pushed open, and Kebro walked in from outside with the soldiers, and he said with a smile on his face: "Dear Earl, the time has come, have you finished talking with him?" ”
Count Meknejielina pointed at Qin Dong: "You can take him away, but you'd better not abuse him!" ”
"Of course, of course!" Kebro looked lewd. Swinging appearance, he said with a smile: "The man that the noble earl likes, how dare I abuse it casually?" I'm expecting the Earl to abuse me, hehe! After speaking, he waved his hand to the soldiers behind him, and those soldiers immediately stepped forward and escorted Qin Dong out of the room.
Count Meknejelina smiled: "It's a pity, Lord Kebro is not my type of person, in fact, you are a good man, but you can't satisfy Mrs. Ben, seven times in one night, can you be competent?" ”
After hearing this, the fat on his body couldn't help but tremble, and his heart was stunned, seven times a night? I rub, the iron man can't stand such a toss, it is estimated that it will become skin and bones in a few days, I still want to live a few more years, no wonder you, a sassy woman, want to find the strong type just now, ordinary men really can't hold you!
Kebro sneered, "Well, forget it, honorable Earl, please don't forget to send an invitation tomorrow!" ”
"Of course, I, Count Mekne, Gerina, am the one who speaks!" She got up and left.
Qin Dong was escorted and quickly returned to the cell of the dungeon, he sat on the hard bed and pondered the way to escape, from the perspective of his inner feelings, he did not trust Father Anatorius and Count Meknejielina too much, Anatorius was too old and cunning, the reason why he agreed to cooperate with this old guy was to let this old guy attract the attention of the emperor. Distract the Emperor's attention.
And the Count of Mekne, who was not familiar with this woman, had just met. Although she is a member of the Black Mist Order, the top management of the Black Mist Organization has not contacted her for several months, and he doesn't know if this woman is still loyal to the Order, he just wants to take this opportunity to test whether she can save him with his blood.
The next morning, another man was drawn from the dungeon to fight the beast, this time from cell 23. This is a veteran, but unfortunately, the opponent of number 23 is a middle-aged lioness. The middle-aged lioness is very hungry, and in order to fill her stomach, she no longer cares about what the occasion is, and she has a lot of experience in hunting. Number 23 is also a veteran. One man and one beast fought for half an hour in the arena, but in the end they were both defeated, and Twenty-Three pierced the body of the lioness with a short sword, and the lioness scratched Twenty-Three's neck, ruptured the carotid artery, and bled to death after struggling for several minutes.
In the afternoon, Qin Dong's luck was very bad and he was drawn again. He even suspected that someone was secretly manipulating the lottery, and in fact he guessed correctly. Emperor Marcian had already given special instructions on this matter, trying to make Qin Dong confront the strong, and the audience didn't know that Qin Dong was very powerful, but the emperor and empress knew that they used this to make money.
Even if Qin Dongming knew that the emperor and empress had this kind of thinking, he also did it, he had to cooperate, because he couldn't lose, and the result of losing was death, and he couldn't deliberately lose the duel, otherwise he would be killed.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when it was Qin Dong's turn to play, under the gaze of the death row inmates, Qin Dong slowly walked out of the cell with a heavy iron chain, plus Qin Dong, there were a total of thirty-seven people in the dungeon, and in less than a week, Qin Dong was drawn twice in a row, this probability is a bit high.
In this dungeon, there is almost no one who can not be drawn for a month, according to the normal probability calculation, there should be someone who can not be drawn for a long time, after all, there are thirty-seven people here, there were thirty-six before, only two people are drawn every day, no matter how you calculate, in fact, everyone's appearance rate is a bit high, that is to say, the gladiatorial arena has long been thinking that the control zhì lottery.
After Qin Dong understood this, he understood Marcian's purpose, I am afraid that if he does not make enough money, Marcian will not let him out, which strengthens Qin Dong's determination to escape as much as possible.
Qin Dong is also a master of art and bold, if he changes to someone else, he will definitely not have such a good spirit, he can eat, drink and sleep in the dungeon, although he knows Marcian's purpose, Qin Dong does not dare not cooperate with Marcian to make money, if he does not cooperate, Marcian will definitely not protect him anymore, in this way, he will be in danger in the dungeon, those nobles who have lost money will definitely rush to make a move, maybe one day he will eat food with diarrhea, or eat highly toxic food, because only in this way, The outcome of the duel will change.
The weapons Qin Dong got this time were an iron spear and a fishing net, and when he went to the performance hall from the lifting platform, there were actually three gladiators in the performance hall, what was the situation?
"I believe the audience has noticed, this gladiator is a newcomer who has just passed a duel, but now he is not a newcomer, his maiden opponent is a wolf, he defeated the wolf to survive the novice period, and the current opponent is today's group champion, the audience has seen their combined combat strength before, so now please bet on it, you have a quarter of an hour!" The host held a big horn made of a large roll to his mouth and made a loud introduction.
After listening to this, Qin Dong immediately understood that today's duel was a three-person duel, which was between gladiator schools, but in the end, he was allowed to fight against this champion group alone, and the fool understood that it was extremely unfair, but the gladiatorial arena still did it.
The odds offered by the handicap are that Qin Dong wins at 1 to 3, and the odds for the champion trio to win are 2 to 1, there are too many gladiators in the gladiatorial arena and gladiator schools, and basically few people study the combat effectiveness of these gladiators one by one, which is too time-consuming, and the mortality rate of gladiators is too high, today before you can study the combat effectiveness of a gladiator, maybe tomorrow this person will be dead, therefore, many viewers who bet are to check the appearance record of a gladiator and the object of the battle, Of course, there is also the current dueling object, and the strength of both sides is comprehensively evaluated before placing a bet.
The quarter of an hour was over quickly, and the champion trio, who were still resting just now, had already come out of the rest area, and with the ringing of a bell, indicating that the battle could officially begin, the spectators in the stands began to cheer for the gladiators they supported.
There is almost only one voice of shouting and cheering, that is the champion trio, Qin Dong can't hear anyone cheering for himself, he knows that this is the case, in the case of one against three, and those three people are still a combination, I'm afraid that no one in the audience will buy him to win, in this way, after he wins, all the spectators here will lose money.
But it has nothing to do with him, he wants to fight, he can't lose, he wants to win, losing means death, either life or death, there is no choice here, only to end with the death of one of the parties, if the winner is injured, he will be treated after the end.
In this trio of champions, one of them holds a shield, another holds a short sword, and the third person holds a spear, the one with the shield stands on the left, the one with the short sword is on the right, and the one with the spear stands behind the two, forming an inverted triangle formation. This trio can be offensive and defensive, can be separated, can be closed, and is very flexible.
Qin Dong wrapped the fishing net around his waist, this time the anklets and bracelets on his hands were removed, maybe the gladiatorial arena was instructed by the emperor, in this case, if he was shackled again, it would be really unfair, and the audience would not agree, but in this way, the gladiatorial arena would have to take a big risk, once Qin Dong went crazy, it was not certain whether the gladiatorial arena could restrain him, after all, he was a person with a criminal record, and the deeds of killing eight hundred people were not blown out.
The champion trio began to form a formation to approach Qin Dong, Qin Dong is not very familiar with this formation, but from the perspective of the use of weapons, this is equivalent to the combination of long and short weapons and defense, Qin Dong half squatted his body, his knees were slightly bent, and an assassination stabbed the short swordsman, the speed was very fast, the shield hand immediately blocked it with a shield, and the spear behind it stabbed out, Qin Dong immediately swept the iron spear and opened the spear, and the short swordsman suddenly rushed up and slashed at Qin Dong's shoulder, Qin Dong finally understood the power of this set of formations.
