Chapter 18: Hideous Edge
Adjutant Liu's face darkened, and he raised his voice and shouted, "Presumptuous! How dare you resist the order? Come on, grab it! ”
The military discipline officer, who had long been ready to go, immediately received the order and walked straight towards Yang Shou. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Whoa!"
Almost at the same time, the people in the tavern stood up at the same time, glaring at the two of them, and a fierce battlefield aura came to their faces!
The two military discipline officers are usually high-minded, and they use all kinds of methods to control these ordinary soldiers, and they are extremely arrogant. Now feeling the iron-blooded aura of the soldiers in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little weak in his legs, his footsteps stopped involuntarily, and he looked back at Adjutant Liu helplessly.
The corners of Adjutant Liu's eyes twitched slightly, and he habitually tightened his beautiful gloves, and then held the hilt of his sword.
The atmosphere in the tavern suddenly became tense, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides became stronger and stronger. Adjutant Liu intended to put pressure on Yang Shou, but he still didn't believe that a small soldier from the countryside would have the courage and ability to instigate a mutiny!
"Oh, what is Adjutant Liu doing, do you want to turn your face with me?"
Yang Shou clapped his hands and laughed, and then slowly turned into a sneer, stared at the other party and said, "Who can't turn their faces, come and try?" ”
Adjutant Liu took a deep breath, his face was solemn, and he raised his hand and pointed to the hall of the tavern: "Yang Shou, do you want to rebel, or do you all want to rebel?" Don't you think about your relatives who have left behind in your hometown, and don't you think about your parents and children? ”
"******, what kind of big hat do you button, Lao Tzu has already seen that you are not pleasing to the eye!"
"Damn, when Lao Tzu is muddy, bullying people and bullying people into the tavern, don't talk nonsense, you have the ability to come over and compare twice."
"Look at your cowardice, what are you pretending to ......"
There were boos in the tavern, and Adjutant Liu's face was blue and white, and his ears were full of unbearable swear words. Those who are doing it are veterans of the army, or soldiers of the new barracks who have a long-standing grudge with the pro-guards, who will buy his account.
At this time, there was a creaking sound on the stairs on the third floor of the museum, and someone coughed in a little pain.
"Ahem, Adjutant Liu, your hat is too big to bear,"
Bill was carried by someone, walked down from the upstairs step by step, and looked at Adjutant Liu meaningfully, "Besides, even if I want your life today, it has nothing to do with rebellion, right?" ”
Seeing Bill, Adjutant Liu chuckled in his heart, and Bill's words were punns, and Adjutant Liu's pupils shrank when he heard it.
This guy didn't even die?
At the first glance of Bill, Adjutant Liu knew that this matter was difficult.
Many people saw Yang Shou carrying Bill back to the Qingteng Tavern, and Scarface was killed in the cave, so it must have nothing to do with these two people.
But if you want to find out the facts, it is bound to involve the disappearance of Lao Chang's father and daughter. If Bill had died, the whole thing would have been simple, Yang Shou was not there at the time, and no one else would know the inside story.
But Bill didn't die, and he appeared on such a special occasion!
Even in the barracks, Adjutant Liu could directly arrest the two under the name of Viscount Thomas.
And there is one thing that Adjutant Liu can't figure out, how Yang Shou found Bill and how he rescued this old thing.
Is it really what it seems on the surface, Yang Shou single-handedly caught up with Scarface, and killed the other party cleanly, executing Scarface in an extremely cruel way and rescuing Bill.
No one will believe it, and neither will Adjutant Liu.
Bill walked downstairs and came to Adjutant Liu, looking at the murderer who killed his old friend and daughter, the corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and the resentment and anger in his heart could barely be suppressed, and he could rush out at any time.
Yang Shou was keenly aware of Bill's mood swings, walked over, patted Bill's shoulder, and said to Adjutant Liu: "Adjutant Liu, I bother you to go and tell Master Thomas, this matter is over." In the future, let's think about it in the long run, okay? ”
Listening to the threat faintly revealed in Yang Shou's words, Adjutant Liu was full of anger.
He suddenly had an urge that with just one sword, he could completely solve these two troubles, and no one knew what happened this afternoon. Destroying corpses and destroying traces, killing people and killing people, Caroline's arrival will not help.
But he quickly put the idea down.
Viscount Thomas has a death order, and all actions must be based on the premise of not causing a mutiny, and this afternoon's incident has already spread in the city, and if something happens at this time, it is likely to affect the real plan of the Viscount.
Damn, you're in luck!
Adjutant Liu's cold eyes swept over Yang Shou and Bill, and he snorted coldly, just as he was about to leave, Yang Shou suddenly spoke.
"Adjutant Liu, can you tell me where that girl's body is?"
Adjutant Liu looked at Yang Shou with some surprise, and sneered: "I don't know what you say again." But even if I knew, why should I tell you? ”
Yang Shou's expression was very solemn, and he said word by word: "Because if you let her be buried in peace, I promise that I can make your death a little more painful in the future, at least not as painful as Scarface." ”
As if he had heard some big joke, the other party raised his head and laughed, leaving Yang Shou with a cold look, flicking his cloak and turning away.
Yang Shou shook his head and sighed softly.
Amid the boos and curses, the guards at the door of the tavern looked embarrassed and left in disgrace. Seeing that the other party was coming violently, but now they returned in vain, the soldiers in the tavern were in high spirits and started another round of carnival.
The third floor of the tavern, in a small clean and tidy room.
Bill lay on the bed, Danny sat on the edge of the bed to check Bill's wounds, and Young Shou peeled apples on the side.
"Lao Chang was known when I first joined the army, he was the captain of the recruit battalion who took me, and my cross swordsmanship was taught by him, although his swordsmanship was also very lame at that time, hehe~"
"This guy has a worse temper than me, offended the chief, and later settled in the northern outpost, and I came to see him every year...... When the little girl was young, she liked to call me fat uncle......"
Bill muttered in a low voice, no expression on his vicissitudes of life, only a faint sadness in his eyes.
Yang Shou handed the apple to Bill, smiled and said, "Heal the injury first, this matter is ...... It's not over yet. ”
Bill took the apple, looked at Yang Shou with a calm face, and nodded.
"Brother Yang, why don't you tell everyone about this, so that everyone can know the true face of Adjutant Liu?" Danny next to him saw that Bill's mood had improved, and finally couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart.
Bill slapped Danny on the head angrily and explained, "We are taking advantage of the situation, not to really rebel, if it really develops like that, even if Lord Caroline wants to help us, there is nothing that can be done."
"That's right." There was a crisp sound outside the door, and Caroline pushed the door in, followed by Jane, dressed in black.
Raising her hand to stop a few people from giving a salute, Caroline said meaningfully, "Bill, I don't think you're so careful." Can you still think of hiding in the tavern as soon as possible, letting the veterans come over and press the field, and not see each other for a few days, and be resourceful? ”
Hearing this, Bill lowered his head and coughed twice in embarrassment, looking honest and silent.
Seeing that the eyes of the two girls kept turning to him, Yang Shou also wisely chose to shut up and pretend to be stupid.
Seeing the two of them behaving like this, Caroline shook her head helplessly.
This matter could have been big or small, and Caroline's biggest fear was that the situation would get out of control, which would inevitably hurt both sides. With her knowledge of the people in the court, Thomas received a few reprimands at most, but the fate of Yang Shou and Bill was unpredictable.
No one would want to see that outcome.
Because of this, Bill's forbearance, or Yang Shou's calm and spicy, impressed Caroline.
The men let Bill get a good rest and leave the room, and Danny leaves with a sense of humor.
Yang Shou wanted to sneak back to his room, but when he saw the two girls staring at him directly, he didn't mean to go home at all, so he knew that it was not so easy to get out today, so he simply took the two to the balcony on the third floor.
The night breeze is slightly cool, without the scorching of the sun, the temperature in the city is at least ten degrees lower than during the day, and the light wind hitting the body makes people shiver - it is too much to wear one layer during the day, and ten layers are too few at night, which is not an exaggeration at all.
Standing upstairs, you can vaguely hear the noise of the tavern, the pale yellow light shines through, and the bright stars reflect each other, and the scenery is very good.
"Just now, Viscount Thomas invited me to inspect the city walls, but I couldn't come in time." Caroline explained first.
Yang Shou nodded, indicating that he understood.
"You killed the four people in the underground cave?" Next, Caroline didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
"Yes."
Yang Shou answered neatly, without a little hesitation, Caroline was stunned, and forgot the next question for a while.
"Three heads fell off. One was crushed in the river, probably gnawed by leeches, and might have struggled to climb ashore before he died, but he was also dead,"
Yang Shou thought that Caroline didn't believe it, and added with a relaxed face, as if he was talking about some short things in the parents: "If you ask Bill, he must say that he did it, but you must know that he is lying~ That old man is a few pounds and a few taels, Lord Lord, you know better than me~"
Caroline looked at Yang Shou's side face and twisted her eyebrows slightly.
Although she had long vaguely felt that Yang Shou's heart was far more mature than her peers, it was still difficult for Caroline to accept that an eighteen-year-old recruit would say such a thing, which was not the ignorance and recklessness of young people, but the confidence after careful consideration.
Jane on the side heard this, and couldn't help but speak: "I also know your swordsmanship level, even if it is a sneak attack, how can you kill four pro-guards?" ”
Yang Shou grinned at Jian, then pressed his thumb slightly, and ejected the broadsword from its scabbard.
The faces of the three of them were immediately reflected red by the sword.
The fiery red sword qi was uncertain, sometimes wrapping the hilt of the sword, sometimes caressing the back of Yang Shou's hand, as if it was alive.
Caroline remained silent, and Jane looked shocked.
Since he already possessed the sword qi, the death of the four pro-guards can be explained...... But how did this sword qi come about, during the duel a few days ago, Yang Shou had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?
The two couldn't help but be even more curious about Yang Shou's mysterious grandfather, what kind of veteran could cultivate such a genius?
"Why do you use that technique, you know that Viscount Thomas will definitely be angry." Caroline paused, digested the fact in front of her, and asked again.
"I know that Bill can't take revenge in a short time, so I can only let those dogs die a little more miserably and make the captain feel more comfortable."
Yang Shou turned his head sideways, stared at the girl's beautiful eyes that reflected a glimmer of light, and grinned: "Of course, the main thing is that I hate this kind of scum." ”
The two girls were speechless again.
Criticize Yang Shou?
No, the two girls have the same mind, and they don't think Yang Shou has done anything wrong, maybe it's just because the two have never seen such violent methods.
It seems that every time they come into contact with him, the two of them will be shocked and surprised......
"When I get back, I'd like to introduce you to my teacher, Master Duke,"
Caroline faced Yang Shou with appreciation in her light green eyes: "With your talent, your achievements in swordsmanship in the future will definitely be higher than mine." ”
Yang Shouyan's heart warmed when he heard this.
Duke, like Caroline's father, was the elder she respected the most, and Caroline said this by completely treating him as her own.
However, the decaying Empire of Steel is not in Yang Shou's plan, and even one day in the future, he may become an enemy of the Human Empire.
So Yang Shou couldn't agree to this matter.
Yang Shou made a flattered look, first thanked Caroline for her appreciation, and then said euphemistically: "You don't have to talk to me in front of Master Duke first, it's better to think about it in the long run, I want to ask my grandfather's opinion." ”
"Oh, as it should be."
Caroline looked unaware and didn't delve into the subject. Caroline didn't know that Yang Shou was now thinking about how to turn against her, wishing that she would break off the relationship with the Metal Empire.
"The expenses of the soldiers in the tavern for these two days are recorded in my account."
The three of them chatted for a while, and Caroline left the tavern with Jane.
Yang Shou stood on the balcony and watched the figures of the two girls walk towards the city gate, followed by two teams of cavalry, and the rhythmic sound of horses' hooves became farther and farther away.
Yang Shou sighed softly.
I don't know if what I did and said today scared them and made them think otherwise...... But now is the very time, and there is no room for him to have too many concerns.
Looking into the distance, the lights on the other side of the town were brightly lit, and there was the city lord's mansion of the northern outpost, where the orc kingdom mission was stationed, and Thomas should have lived there.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night~
In the castle lord's mansion.
"Bang!"
The exquisite vase grazed Adjutant Liu's ear, slammed into the wall, shattered into countless pieces, and fell to the ground with a "bang". Adjutant Liu lowered his head and didn't move, as if he didn't see the vase flying over.
"Rice bucket! A bunch of idiots! ”
Viscount Thomas roared angrily, unbuttoning his neckline, still feeling puzzled, and swept the things on the table to the ground, a ping-pong sound.
Thomas felt ashamed, very ashamed!
A commoner from the countryside has repeatedly challenged his authority, and if he was in the imperial capital, he would have let the other party die a hundred times!
But such a pariah, he is still alive and well, and he still killed his own men!
Scarface has been an attendant at Thomas' side for many years and is one of Thomas's most loyal dogs. How deep is Thomas's relationship with Scarface? Not necessarily, but Thomas cares most about his face.
Scarface was tortured to death by that method, and he was slapping Thomas in the face!
Seeing that Thomas gasped and stopped talking, Adjutant Liu straightened up slightly and said, "My lord, with all due respect, in fact, the key to the problem is all on Caroline, if it weren't for her, none of this would be a problem." ”
Thomas leaned his hands on the table, looked up at Adjutant Liu, and motioned for the other party to continue.
"According to my observation, Caroline and this Yang Shou are quite close, and I heard that Caroline organized cavalry to repel the sneak attack of the undead before, and it has nothing to do with Yang Shou."
"Huh?" Thomas frowned, his face surprised, he didn't expect such a thing.
Adjutant Liu continued: "I checked the duty records, and it was Yang Shou who was on night duty in the recruit camp that day, and that night, some soldiers saw Caroline go to Yang Shou's position on duty, and it took a long time to come back. In the middle of the night, lonely men and widows ......"
Thomas's expression grew cold, he straightened up and let out a long breath, and after a while, he sneered.
"This slut, I spoil her so much, she is with the son of a pariah...... Hmph, in that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. Adjutant Liu, you go and make arrangements, and send Yang Shou to that place tomorrow to carry out reconnaissance missions, and other things will go according to plan. ”
"Yes!"
When Adjutant Liu heard this, he immediately bowed down to receive the order, his head hung down, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
The surname is Yang, what about Caroline protecting you, you are not dead this time?
