Section 218, Providence makes people
Alas...... At that time, it was a mistake to rush on the road without inspecting the goods first......
The journey went well, and along the way, Baroque brought enough wine and meat to eat and drink. This comfortable life soon made Aleuzer relax. He remembered the dashing life he had had with his comrades in the Order.
Although the snow was falling non-stop and the road was slippery, Baroque and the maid were very well prepared. They chose a very hardy breed of horse, and the carriage was specially oiled with antifreeze and the wheels were equipped with anti-slip chains.
The large box was placed securely on top of the carriage, and it looked very ordinary. The chest was made of wood, sealed with iron bars, and the lid was locked with iron chains and two large locks.
What's inside this big box? Aliuzhe noticed that there were many tiny holes in the chest, which seemed to be used for ventilation, but the holes were too small to get into the contents of the kang.
Although Aliuzhe has a strong curiosity about the chest, he is a seasoned warrior after all, and he knows right from wrong, and will never try to look at it. At this time, if anyone else wants to see it, they will have to ask Aliuzhe if the long sword in his hand is allowed.
However, on one occasion, while walking around the carriage, Aleuzer accidentally touched a box. Judging by the sound that came out, the box was not full, and it seemed that there was still a lot of space.
This one...... What the hell is going on?
"Hey, Aleuzhe, be careful!" Seeing this, Baroque hurriedly reminded Aleuzer, "Don't knock that box under the car!" In case we break the contents of it, we all get big mold! ”
"I know." Seeing that he was so nervous, and guessing that he should know what the goods were, he asked, "Boss, after walking for so long, don't you say where the goods are going?" Where are we headed now? ”
Baroque thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I agreed with the owner that I would never tell you the destination in advance, but you are all the people I trust the most, so I'll say it now." We're going to get this big box to Shadowfang Castle. ”
"What? Shadowfang Castle? When Aeryuzhe heard the word "Castle of Shadowfangs," he was secretly shocked. He knew about Shadowfang Castle, where the most murderous prisoners in the kingdom were held. In the past, as the leader of the knight team, Aliuzhe carried out many missions to hunt down murderers, and all the murderers he caught, as long as they did not die, were all thrown into Shadowfang Castle. It's hell on earth.
"How?" Baroque saw Arius looking thoughtful and asked, "You should know about Shadowfang Castle, right?" Mr. Captain. ”
"Don't talk about the past." Aliuzhe waved his hand and said disapprehantly, "I do know that Shadowfang Castle is not a good place to be. Is this box full of weapons and equipment? ”
"Hey, why are you talking so much now?" Baroque reminded him, "Don't ask the owner what the goods are, even if it's a human corpse...... Speaking of this, he seems to realize that he has a bit of a big tongue, and hurriedly changes his words: "I'm just making an analogy, even if the gold wants us to transport people's corpses, as long as we give money, we have to do it." ”
“……”
Listening to Baroque's words, Aliuzhe glanced at the large box, and suddenly had a not very good feeling in his heart.
"Boss, there seems to be someone chasing after you!" At this moment, one of his subordinates suddenly pointed to the back of the carriage and shouted, "Look, it looks like a group of knights!" ”
"What?" As soon as these words came out, everyone in the car was shocked. Aliuzhe and Baroque hurriedly looked back, and sure enough, they saw a group of knights quickly chasing after the carriage!
“……”
When Aliuzhe saw the knights who were quickly chasing this way, the uneasy feeling in his heart rushed up! He couldn't help but look at the big box and wondered, could it be ......
"Stop, you guys! Stop! ”
A total of fifty knights came, and the captain of the knights who led the team knew Aliuzhe and was his former comrade-in-arms in friendly units. The captain of the knights rode to the front of the carriage, stopped the carriage, pointed to the people in the carriage, and ordered everyone to get out of the carriage.
When he saw Ariuzhe sitting in the car, he was surprised and said, "Ariuzhe, why are you here?" ”
"Ahh How did you guys get here? Seeing this, Arius was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say. The atmosphere suddenly became very tense.
"I should be asking you, right?" The captain of the knights, Yīn, calmed down and asked Aliuzhe, "What?" Are you the bodyguard who came to transport this box? ”
"Ah, hahaha, hey, this captain!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Baroque hurriedly walked up to the captain, nodded his head, and said with a smile, "We are just transporting this box to the designated place according to the client's orders." We don't know what's in this box, or what we're going to do with it. ”
"Get out of the way!" The captain of the knights did not buy his account, jumped off his horse, walked to the chest, knocked on it, listened carefully, and shouted loudly to several knights around him, "It should be here!" Get a tool to pry the box open! ”
When Aliuzhe saw this scene, he "chuckled" in his heart, thinking, no, what's going on?
The knights seemed to have been prepared, and brought the tools to pick the lock, and at once they broke the chains and locks from the chest, and opened the lid of the chest. The moment the lid of the box was opened, the knight captain shouted, "Found it!" It's Her Royal Highness the Princess! ”
The four words "Her Royal Highness the Princess" reached Aliuzhe's ears, making him suddenly feel dizzy, as if five thunderbolts had hit the top!
Sure enough, the knight captain leaned down and took out a beautiful woman from the box! That woman, with her pretty and charming appearance, is the princess Gerard that Arius had been thinking about for a long time!
"Run!" Baroque screamed, threw a smoke bomb on the ground, and pulled Aliuzhe into the forest by the roadside. In the midst of shouting and scolding, the two of them fled into the forest, while the other four subordinates did not follow, and did not know whether they were dead or alive.
……
Arius and Baroque sat in the snow in the forest, exhausted and out of breath. When people flee in panic, they feel that their physical strength is always used up faster.
"You bastard!" Aliuzhe knocked Baroque to the ground with a punch, grabbed him by the neck, and yelled, "You actually hurt Gerald, I will kill you!" Ahh ”
"Let it go...... Let go ......" Baroque struggled desperately, and with a fierce force, kicked Aliuzhe away, and then pointed at him and said, "Aliuzhe, calm down!" I didn't know it was a princess! If I knew, you said, would I dare to make this order? ”
"You fart!" Like an angry lion, Aliuzhe drew his sword and wanted to rush up and kill Baroque, but unexpectedly, Baroque took out a one-handed musket from his clothes at great speed, pointed it at him, and said loudly, "Don't move, I don't want to kill you, don't force me!" ”
“……”
Ariuzer was pointed at a gun, and then he stopped, staring at Baroque with his eyes blazing, and said, "Say, tell me everything you know!" ”
Baroque was choked by him for a while, and he couldn't breathe for a long time, and he coughed for a while before he recovered, and said, "Aliuzhe, I really didn't know that the princess was in the box. The woman didn't say any of these things. She just said to transport the box to Shadowfang Castle. ”
"What are you doing transporting the princess to Shadowfang Castle?" Having lost his mind, Aliuzhe yelled at Baroque, "You know what the hell Shadowfang Castle is. Who the fuck are you entrusted with? Isn't he doing you harm? You're still protecting him? ”
"I ......," Baroque was speechless, thought for a moment, sighed, and said, "It was Arugao who gave me the job." ”
"Arugao! You ......" Ariuzhe heard the words "Arugao" and completely collapsed. His mind was in a mess, his consciousness could no longer be awake, and he sat on the ground.
"Ahh
At this moment, Gerald's screams suddenly came from the direction of the carriage!
"Oh my God!" When Baroque heard this, his face was like dirt, and he got to his feet, and said, "This is a mess." I had to run for my life. With that, he ran away, and soon ran away without a trace.
"Gerald!" Aliuzhe looked in the direction of the carriage and trembled with nervousness. He stood up and walked towards the carriage without hesitation...... (To be continued.) )
