Chapter 590: The Old Couple

Rui Wen looked back and was shocked.

An old man, holding a leather scabbard with scribbled runes and a heavy broken sword inside, was running towards her with his wife beside him.

"Daddy Comte! Old Mother Shava, why are you here, it's dangerous here, you get out of here! Rui Wen was anxious to shout back at them.

She spoke not in pure Ionian dialect, but in order to make Sellers understand, so that he could know that the two old men were innocent and not to harm them.

"Daida, I'm here to help you!" Father Conde didn't listen to Rui Wen's advice at all, went straight to Rui Wen, and handed her the leather scabbard: "Come, take it, this is your weapon, Daddy has always helped you keep it." ”

"Why do you still keep it......" Rui Wen's voice became choked, and a pair of eyes moved back and forth from the old couple.

Daddy knew that Rui Wen had practiced, because she had helped the old couple defeat the robbers of the Navoli Brotherhood more than once, and this murder weapon, which was originally used to kill Elder Suma, was also secretly hidden by Daddy at home, just to welcome the arrival of this day.

"Don't worry about it so much, you go quickly, Daddy will help you block this group of robbers!" Daddy quickly slapped Rui Wen on the shoulder twice with his wrinkled palm, and then walked between her and Cyrus: "Whoever wants to hurt this child must step over my corpse first!" ”

The two knights raised their crossbows, but Sellers stopped them with a gesture.

He looked behind this unknown old man, and Rui Wen, who had a heavy expression, had already taken off the leather scabbard, revealing a huge broken blade.

He knew the sword, even though it was broken, but Sellers still remembered the figure at the canonization ceremony, although Noxus spoke with strength, there was no gender discrimination, but female warriors were still inherently weaker in physical fitness, and it was more difficult for men to get promoted.

Most of the female soldiers are more inclined to special types of troops such as reconnaissance, logistics, and strategy, and only a few will charge forward like a warrior, so Ruiwen's canonization was a sensational thing at the time, and that time also involved the appearance of the Faceless in front of the people, so it's normal for Cyrus to remember it.

"Riven is it? I remember you, no wonder the name always sounds familiar. ”

He ignored the two unarmed old men, locked on Rui Wen with a dangerous gaze, and said unabashedly: "So have you made your choice?" Do you join the army to provide intelligence, or do you decide that you want to die here? ”

As soon as the words fell, the cavalry behind him showed their weapons in unison, and the sonorous sound of weapons striking echoed across the field.

"Wait?! What are you talking about? Father Conde panicked for a moment.

Although he couldn't understand Noxus's official language, he still saw some clues from the actions of the cavalry.

"Please, please, don't hurt my Daida, Riven is my only daughter. You've taken all my children, please don't take my last daughter away! The old woman knelt down and pleaded, feeling her sincerity even if she didn't understand the language, but the soldiers' expressions were indifferent, as if they were commonplace.

"Imai, get up, I'll tell them." Rui Wen helped the old woman up and said softly to her. (Ionian: Imaiyi for mother, father, Daida for daughter.) )

"As long as you live, you can promise them anything!" The old woman burst into tears, trembling and grabbing Rui Wen's wrist.

"Your life is more important than anything else." Daddy took a hard breath and quietly wiped his tears on the side.

Rui Wen nodded solemnly, then walked between the two of them and walked over to Cyrus.

"General, thanks to your love, Ke Ruiwen's body and mind are already like this broken sword, and she can no longer serve the empire." She laid the broken sword flat on top of her palms, held it high above her head, and offered it to Cyrus.

"Don't put aside glory and rank, and be willing to be an unknown small farmer here. Someone, kill her cow! ”

But Sellers is interested in talent, not this broken sword, and immediately becomes furious, drawing his sword to cut off Ruiwen's head.

Bang! The blade of the sword stopped sharply on Raven's neck, against her tanned skin, and Cyrus still couldn't bear to kill Riven.

The sword that is swung out can be stopped suddenly, but the arrow that is shot cannot be recovered.

The bowstring was activated, and the emaciated old ploughing ox fell to the ground, and it lay in the dirt, the crossbow arrows piercing its neck, and the blood rushing into its trachea, leaving it to hiss.

Moo...... Moo......

Rui Wen listened to the tragic cry of the dying old cow, and the tears in the corners of her eyes finally dripped into the dirt like a broken kite. Lao Niu has been with her for many years, and it is impossible to say that she has no emotion without a lot of work pressure that she has shared.

Every cell in her body was frantically pushing her to fight back, but she tried to suppress the urge because she knew it would doom the two old men behind her.

They killed the animals that my father was plowing the fields, and without the tools to plough the fields, my father would not be able to turn over the soil, which was a ruined life. Although Rui Wen is as powerful as an ox, she is not stupid enough to believe that she can stay and help her father with farming.

Now, Rui Wen also knows that she has no way back, and she is familiar with the process of the Noxian army, so she began to seek a relatively relaxed result from Cyrus.

"I didn't make any resistance, I volunteered to be a prisoner of war, and I just begged the general to let the two old men live."

Cyrus's eyes narrowed, he heard Riven talking about prisoners of war and not soldiers, so Riven was still subjectively unwilling to provide any help to the Imperial raiders of Ionia.

But Rui Wen firmly grasped the weakness of his love talent, he thought about it, and finally agreed to Rui Wen's request.

"Take him away." Sellers said.

Two soldiers came out of the corps to put Rui Wen in the rear, Rui Wen looked back at her father and mother, the two old men supported each other, and sat in the field crying silently.

Cyrus noticed this scene, and a trace of unbearability flashed in his eyes, so he asked someone to throw a gold coin in front of the two old men, and said, "We took your daughter, and the money will be exchanged for a strong ploughing ox." ”

The old man trembled with anger, and with a shudder, he grabbed the muddy gold coin from the ground and threw it in Cyrus's face, although he could not understand the Noxian language, but it was clearly to buy their last daughter with a gold coin, so he scolded:

"Noxus dogs! Who wants your stinky money! All we need is our Daida! Give her back to me. ”

Cyrus felt a pain on his face, and looked at the old man deeply, the other party's old age full of markings was flushed, and he might faint at any time due to excess.

In the end, he didn't make a move, didn't say anything, just wiped the dirt off his face, and then left with the cavalry regiment around the cultivated field that Riven wanted to protect.
