Chapter 13 Who will judge the merits

Yanosh's roar shook the entire hall into dust, and hundreds of guests were stunned. Segolena was grabbed by him tightly, and he couldn't struggle, so he had to ask, "Young Master Janos, what happened?" Janos said angrily: "You are still pretending to be a good person here!...... My father was poisoned by you dog thieves who killed a thousand knives!"

When this sentence came out, the faces of everyone in the hall changed greatly. The Duke was in high spirits when he left just now, and how could he have been shocked in the past few minutes. Capistrano was the calmest, he went over to Yanosh and asked, "What is the matter with the Duke?" and "Just now my father returned to the common room, and I personally took the Bazlisk worm from the chapel and put it in a box with the four-leaf clover, according to the instructions of Dr. Ibenza. When the insect saw the leaves, he came and munched on them, and after a while they ate them and died. I was afraid that others would not use it properly, so I took the head of the grinding vessel and ground it with my own hands, made it into a pile of powder, and mixed it with freshly boiled hot water for my father to serve. Who would have thought that after eating for less than half a minute, his father's face suddenly turned pale, his abdomen cramped, and he pointed to the hall with his finger so painful that he couldn't speak. I quickly fetched another emetic agent, but before my father could eat it, he lay down and didn't move......"

After he said this, his voice gradually became like a whimper, and a tough guy like an iron tower was about to cry. When Capistrano heard this, he frowned and said, "Could it be that the Turks poisoned the four-leaf clover?" But I have obviously sent it to the doctor for examination, and I also tore off a piece and fed it to the dogs, and now I am fine." Janos gritted his teeth and said, "Who knows what kind of poison they used! It was the thief Segolena who colluded with those two people to do this!"

Capistrano was stunned and said, "The young man Segolena repelled that Arab dancing girl, we all saw it." What does the Turkish Sultan have to do with poisoning him?" said Janos: "You don't know! A few days ago, this thief sneaked into our castle with a magic hand painter to steal the Bazlisk worm and harm my father, but fortunately he was stopped by some friends of Simon's gospel. This time the Turks poisoned him, and he came again to pretend to gamble. You see that he began to deliberately cover his face with his hat, isn't he a thief!"

Segolena was so angry that he was about to tell the difference, but there was a sound of wind in his ears, and he turned his head to look, but saw that Romulus, Cherie, and Rosemary had already drawn their weapons, and their faces were solemn, and they cut off their retreat. He thought to himself that if he wanted to leave, the three of them would not be able to stop him for a while, but in this way, if he confessed his sins, he would not be able to talk about himself, and even Mama Gabriella would not be able to get out of it, so he stopped and secretly wondered what to do.

At this time, Mama Gabriella saw that Segolena was about to be besieged, and stepped forward, but saw Provenzano also get up and stand side by side with her, faintly in a state of resistance. Provenzano said respectfully, "Mama, how did you know this Segolena?" Mama saw that he had come to question herself, and said a little unpleasantly: "He is a friend of my Beguin. Provenzano said: "This person has an unknown origin, strange martial arts, and now he is involved in the major matter of poisoning the duke." This chair is the Inquisition, and there is no right to deal with worldly matters, but Belgrade, as a matter of Christendom's safety, can not be ignored? God is the most just of all, and he will not teach a good man to be wronged, nor will he allow a bad man to escape. ”

He spoke with a needle in his mouth, lest Mama Gabriela be partial to Segolena. Mama Gabriella didn't understand his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "That's nature, don't let a bad person escape, and don't teach a good person to be wronged." The order of the two words is slightly reversed, and the meaning is very different.

Provenzano said again: "If there is a fight, I am afraid that there will be damage, and the misunderstanding will be deeper." Mama, since you are friends with him, you might as well persuade him to let him stay for the time being, and it is not too late to argue. Mama felt that what he said was reasonable, so she said aloud, "Segolena, come to me." Segolena heard the greeting and was about to leave, but Cherie raised the mace and shouted, "Little thief, where do you want to go!" Segolena glanced at her and said coldly, "This new hammer looks stronger." Cherie looked a little embarrassed when she thought that this guy had smashed her weapon with her bare hands three days ago.

Provenzano saw that Beguinhui had taken the initiative to take responsibility, so he was relieved, and if Segolena escaped at this time, he could ask Mama is question. So he flicked his fingers and told his disciples to let go of their weapons, and Cherie had to get out of the way. Rosemary, beside her, was expressionless, but her eyes did not leave Segolena for a moment. Segolena glanced at her and felt that the little girl's eyes were cold. Unexpectedly, Rosemary suddenly said, "Where's my dagger?" Segolena didn't expect her to ask this question, she was angry and funny, and immediately replied: "It's collected by the Beguin Society, it's not with me, you can go and ask for it." ”

Seeing that Segolena was called by Mama Gabriella, Janos hurried to rush over. At this time, Capistrano grabbed him and said in a low voice: "This matter has not yet been clarified, young master, you can't be so noisy in front of the public." The guests are all looking at the old duke's reputation, aren't you shouting and ruining the defense of Belgrade?" "Yanosh is known as the "little lionheart king", after all, he has some ability, after being reminded by Capistrano, he calmed down a little and asked: "Then what should I do now?" Capistrano was as careful as a hair, and first asked rhetorically: "Is the old duke really dead now?" Yanosh blushed slightly and said: " As soon as my mother cried, I thought of the despicable deeds of the thief of Segolina, and rushed out, and I did not see it clearly. ”

Capistrano glanced around and said to Arnos: "The plan for the present time is to gather these relevant people in the neighboring room first, and determine the cause of the duke's life and death, and then it is not too late to discuss." Those two are martial arts seniors, and there will be no favoritism. Mo wronged others because of his momentary anger, causing unprovoked chaos in the city. Although he is also concerned about the safety of the duke, he has a realistic temperament, and if he puts the overall situation first in advance, although there is a shocking thunderbolt of the duke's death, he can still be orderly and comprehensive.

Janos listened reasonably, wiped away his tears, and walked over to the crowd. Provenzano and Mama Gabriella both found the proposal reasonable, and called the three apprentices and Segolena on the other, and the group left the hall and went to the adjacent lounge, leaving Capistrano in the hall to maintain the situation and receive the guests. Conrad, Guigero, and the professors were surprised and did not want to ask each other, so they had to drink themselves.

The lounge was originally a prayer room, with few decorations, except for a small honey painting of the crucifix on the walls. There were several wide deerskin chairs and a round table in the room, and the old duke leaned on the chair motionless, while a woman wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and bowls and cups were scattered on the floor.

When the woman saw Mama Gabriella, she threw herself into her arms and wept. Mama Gabriella rubbed the top of her head lovingly, and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, isn't the old body here to administer justice for you?" The woman listened, and silently let go of Mama's embrace, but she still sobbed.

At this time, everyone entered the room, and it was crowded at once. Romulus was the most careful, lest Segolena make any moves, and be the last to come in and guard the only entrance. When they went to see the old duke, they saw that his face was pale, his beard was all open, his skin was faintly green, and his limbs were stiff and motionless. Janos let out a "grunt" and knelt on one leg, his shoulders trembling violently.

Mama Gabriella walked up to the old duke and reached out to try his breath, but he was not breathing, evidently out of breath. Her heart sank, she wanted to tell the Duke about the theft after the birthday banquet and ask him for forgiveness, but now the Duke died suddenly, and Segolina's sin was even greater, and he couldn't tell the difference.

She was quite unwilling, and pinched the two star points behind the duke's ear and the back of her neck with her hands, and carried the Virgin Mary's blessing divine skill, driving her true qi to circulate the twelve star palaces in the old duke's body. Her internal strength has reached the realm of kindness and intangibility, and this delivery can be described as meticulous, but now everywhere she goes, it is silent. She circulated several zodiac weeks, and suddenly thought that Arnos said that the duke's abdominal pain was unbearable, so she let her energy turn less, penetrated into the two palaces of the virgin and the scale, searched carefully, and suddenly felt that there were three star life points that rebounded slightly, and it was actually a ball of vitality, but it came and went.

Mama Gabriella was overjoyed, if it was a dead person, it would not have any breath, and now that she can have this reaction, it can be seen that the duke is still saved. With a twist of her fingers, she sent out four internal energies in a row, pouring directly into the maid's palace, oscillating layer by layer, wanting to stir up the vibrancy, like blowing the mouth to fuel the combustion. But that vitality was like playing hide and seek with her, flashing in the lower maiden palace for a moment, and running to the junction of the Libra Palace and the Cancer Palace in an instant, wandering between the star fate points. So that Mama can't do anything, let alone adjust the four liquids.

Everyone saw Gabriella pointing at the duke, her expression was frightened, and there was a slight mist rising above her head, and they didn't dare to breathe on the side. Mama searched for a while, felt that it was difficult to support herself, and slowly turned her head to Provenzano and said, "First seat, please come and help me." Provenzano knew that Mama would not ask for help easily, and that something strange must have happened, so he walked over and put his palm on the duke's back.

A master of internal learning, without words, Provenzano only had a few weeks of luck before he understood what was going on. He said to Mama, "I'll urge you to cover up." Mama nodded, approvingly. The strength of Simon's Gospel is so strong that it is right to drive out that vibrancy and drive it into the net of mercy of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

When the two masters in the world had a tacit understanding, they were able to move in the old duke's body at the same time, one rigid and one soft. The strong internal force traveled along the two branches of the twin branches to the 144 star points of the whole body, and the spear was big, sweeping all the way, while the feminine and gentle force weaved a soft and dense net in the Libra Palace, waiting for it to be thrown.

They looked solemn and did their best, and this luck lasted nearly half an hour. The old duke suddenly bent his legs, his neck suddenly went all the way, he opened his mouth and let out a long breath, and then he stopped moving. Janos and his mother were surprised and delighted, happy that the Duke had come back from the dead, and surprised that he was only angry, but there was no other reaction.

Mama Gabriella and Provenzano withdrew their palms at the same time, and each took a step back, gasping slightly. Janos asked eagerly, "How is my father, two seniors?" Gabriela said: "The Duke is worthy of being God's favorite, and he is extremely lucky, praise God! He was so poisonous that he could not live, but the Duke was suffering from the cry of Medusa, and his internal organs were petrified, but he was blessed by misfortune and kept a trace of vitality in the Virgin's Palace from being invaded. Just now, Lord Provenzano and I have protected that group of vitality in the Libra Palace, and we can save the Duke's life for the time being. ”

Janos was overjoyed and was about to bow his head in thanks, but Mama Gabriella helped him up and said, "Don't worry, now this vitality is like a candle in the wind, and Lord Provenzano and I must work together every day to instill true qi in order to barely maintain it, not to save the duke." "Janos knew that Mama Gabriela was the head of the Beguin, and Provenzano was in charge of the Inquisition, and both of them were busy people, and it was rare to be able to come to the banquet today, let alone stay in Belgrade every day to renew the Duke's life. It's just that his father's life is at stake, and Yanos cried hard: "Please two seniors for the sake of my father's life and save his life!"

Provenzano and Mama Gabriella looked at each other, and they were both very embarrassed for a moment. It would be fine for them to do what they could to save the Duke, but if they were stationed here every day, it would be different. Seeing that the teacher's face was embarrassed, Romulus said, "Young Master Yanos, it is better to carry the Duke back to the room first, and the rest will not be too late to be discussed." He reminded Arnos with a word, and quickly ordered some of his able servants to carry the duke back to his chamber, and the duchess followed closely behind, and for a moment they all left.

It wasn't until everything was settled and his father was safe and sound that he regained some of his spirits. He turned his head and saw Segolena silent, and anger welled up in his heart. He knew that this kid had some relationship with Mama Gabriella, so he didn't want to go forward and reprimand him directly, so he said loudly: "Today, my father was poisoned, Mama and Master Provenzano, you have to make the decision for me!"

Provenzano spoke first: "This is nature, the old duke is my Europa barrier, the weight of the mountains. It is too deceitful for anyone to dare to attack me and Grandma Gabriella in front of me and Grandma Gabriella at the birthday feast!" Seeing that he had taken the lead, Mama Gabriella had to turn around and said, "Now that Sirenqin and the messenger have not gone far, they should send more men to chase after them, and they should have the antidote with them." ”

Yanos said respectfully: "I have sent an elite iron horse to chase after me, this does not need to worry about the seniors." It's just that we still have their internal responses in the city, and we have to arrest them and question them well. Everyone in the room knew that he was referring to Segolena, but he didn't say his name. Segolena was wronged, and he was already angry, when he heard Janos speak like this, he simply stood up and said loudly: "You're talking about me, right?!"

Janos sneered: "Who am I talking about, who knows it in his heart." If you go and steal worms three days ago, the three friends of Simon's gospel can testify. At that time, you escaped by luck, and you still dared to come to the birthday banquet!" Mama Gabriella muttered: "I know about this matter, in fact, I brought him here today to make him apologize to the duke and beg him for forgiveness, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”

Yanos said: "Mama, you have kindness in your heart, and you naturally think of people in a good way. Imagine what he and the magician had stolen from the Guards and the Chapel without stealing the treasures? They decided that I needed it urgently, so they used it as bait, pretending to provoke a gambling fight, and then deliberately deceived this boy. When we got this grass, we no longer had any suspicions, but we didn't know that people had already laid a fierce poison in it that couldn't be detected!"

When everyone heard him say this, they all felt that it made a lot of sense, and even Segolena was suspicious in their hearts: "Isn't that magic hand painter really colluding with the Ottomans?" and Janos added: "This Segolena fought with Abidella at the beginning, and drank her identity, as if he was full of hatred, how could he let it go lightly when he won later? Now when he pushes it carefully, it is nothing more than a trick - how can he really attack his accomplices!"

Mama Gabriella said, "If he has the intention of harming the Duke, why is it not his own death to stay in the city?" They had thought that the Duke would take it calmly after the birthday feast, and they would have fled far away by then. It's just that people are not as good as God, and this Segolena didn't expect the Duke to get the leaves, so he immediately took it and was poisoned on the spot, so he didn't have time to escape. ”

Her reasoning was sharp and coherent, and the girl's voice was crisp, as if Segolena was scheming. Everyone secretly admired that Simon had no weak hands, and even such a little girl was so shrewd. Mama Gabriella wanted to say a few words for Segolina, but when the little girl said it, she didn't know how to argue. Provenzano said, "Now it seems that the matter has been revealed, you thief, who is a servant of the infidels, what else do you have to say? Romulus, take him with me!"

Provenzano was self-conscious and unwilling to make a move, so he asked his disciple to step forward. Romulus knew that he was very good at internal strength, and that there were many people in the narrow room, so he reached out and pointed out his second cloister. Segolena frowned, his elbow tilted, and the two of them actually dismantled themselves. One of the two of them is a famous talent, and the other is a barren valley Yicai, and at this time, the fight will rise, and it is difficult to distinguish between them. Romulus has been in Europe for a long time, and he didn't know that Segolena used a Zimbabwean grappler, and seeing his strange methods and ruthless moves, he didn't dare to get too close for a while, and only used his own moves to fight him.

Seeing that his first apprentice couldn't defeat this hairy boy, Provenzano was greatly dissatisfied, and shouted in a deep voice: "Cherie, Rosemary, go and help your unsuccessful senior brother." This sentence was more uncomfortable in Romulus's ears than being punched in the chest a few times, and the momentum in his hand immediately accelerated. At this time, both of them urged the true qi in their bodies, and at this distance, it was like wielding a giant sword in the fighting room, and if they were not careful, they would be seriously injured and killed.

Seeing this, Mama Gabriella flicked her long sleeves, and a force of sleeves was silent, and both of them felt suffocated in their breathing, and they were separated by this force. Provenzano frowned and said strangely: "Mama, I respect you as the dean of the Beguin Society, and you should be polite." It's just that there shouldn't be any favoritism in this life lawsuit. Mama Gabriella said: "Since it is a life lawsuit, you should not listen to one side of the story, and you should not even give a chance to defend yourself." She glanced at Segolena and said, "Child, do you have anything to do with the duke's poisoning?"

Segolena reined in his moves and stepped forward, "I went to the chapel three days ago to steal, but what I wanted was not the Bazlisk worm, but to retrieve my chestnut staff. He took out the wooden staff on his back, and Provenzano's eyesight was so good that he could see the five-link scar on the wooden staff at a glance, and his eyes were shining. How could this fall into his hands as an elder of the dervish order? Thinking back to the young man's efforts to expose the Gospel of Matthew, he became even more suspicious, so he stopped interjecting and let Segolena continue.

Segolena then talked about how he met the Magic Hand Painter in Prahovo, how he was captured by Björzi on his behalf, how he escaped from prison and cooperated with Van Eyck, etc., without mentioning his own identity. After hearing what he had to say, Janos asked, "Don't you have a grudge against the Arabian dancer, and why did you let her go at last?"

Segolena hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a blood feud with that sirenqinji, and I can't wait to kill this woman. It's just that she has my father's whereabouts in her hands, and I can't do anything about it—it's not enough to say more, and Mama Gabriella knows all about it, and she can vouch for it. Provenzano said coldly: "With your words, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public." Cherie saw her junior sister in the limelight just now, and she also wanted to show her face, but when she saw that the teacher was in trouble first, she had the courage to scream: "You even cheated on the grandmother of the Beguine Society! What else would you not dare to do with that female devil?"

Hearing Cherie's shout, Mama Gabriella's face was covered with frost, wouldn't this be the same as saying in public that she was old and deaf and deceived? Romulus quietly tugged at the corner of Cherie's coat and signaled her to speak indiscreetly. When Segolena heard this scream, he suddenly remembered the phrase "You are afraid of the old lady of the Beguin, aren't you afraid of the female devil", and he heard the whisper of the person next door when he was on Björzi's boat.

Remembering this section, his heart suddenly brightened, and he spoke: "Young Master Yanosh's inference is not entirely wrong, although I have nothing to do with this matter, I know who is the traitor at this time. Cherie sneered: "You are poor at reasoning, so you just use these words to perfunctory, who will believe it." Segolena ignored her, turned to Janosh and said boldly, "If you don't believe it, you might as well give it a try." ”

......

Björkiz was quite uncomfortable when he saw Segolina, and his own men were indulging in eating and drinking at the table, but he leaned against the pillar with a wine glass in his hand, and pondered how this little thief had suddenly become a guest at the table. He was bowing his head and pondering, when suddenly a small servant came over and said to him: "This lord, Young Master Arnos has sent me to summon you and the brothers of the Holy Guard to the back hall, he has important matters to discuss. Bjooch thought that it must be the old duke who ate Cordyceps and recovered from a serious illness, and the young master was going to be rewarded with a great reward, so he called his subordinates to a place. The guards were overjoyed and shouted with their fists.

A group of fifteen or six of them were led to a backyard in the castle. There is an open area that was used to load and unload the caravan of horses, which were unloaded when the Holy Guards arrived in Belgrade. Janos was already waiting there, and when he saw Björzi, he stepped forward and took his hand and said, "This time, I will do more to protect you." ”

Björch said humbly: "This is all duty, there is nothing hard or not, the old duke is okay?" "He is very good, and he also asked me to prepare a batch of rewards, and told me to thank them in person, and everyone should be respected." With a wave of his hand, a servant brought a large plate, and a dozen glasses filled with red wine were placed on the plate.

Janos toasted with Björzi first, and then toasted them one by one. Most of the people in the Holy Guard were from civilian backgrounds, and when they saw that the duke's son had deigned to come to toast him, they were flattered and held their glasses in both hands. Every time Arnos toasted, he would first ask the other person's name and surname, and then wish the sentence "May God bless you be blessed", this carefulness made these men very excited, and they all replied loudly, lest the voice be small and lose face.

Along the way, Janos soon came to a horse-faced man, who poured his wine and asked, "What is your name, and where are you from?" The horse-faced man raised his glass in his hands and replied respectfully: "The little one's name is Fabruk, and he is from Salzburg." As soon as the words fell, there was an ethereal whistle from the nearby thatch, and Arnos frowned, suddenly clenched the man's right hand, and shouted, "Was my father killed by you!?"

Fabruk was waiting for a drink with joy, but he didn't expect this thunderbolt to suddenly come on a sunny day, and he was stunned in place. Yanos sneered: "You rat, don't say anything about killing my father, and you dare to take my glass of wine in a big way?!" Fabruck was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The Duke died of poison, what does it have to do with the villain?"

When Janos heard him say this, his pupils tightened, but he smiled instead, and smashed the wine glass with a "snap". Dozens of soldiers dressed in drapes suddenly poured into the backyard, and in an instant, they were surrounded by water. Björzi and the Guardians of the Sacred Guards were confused, their mouths wide open, not understanding what was going on. With a flick of his wrist, Janos grabbed Fabruk by the shoulder like a pincer and pulled him out of the queue.

Fabruke was greatly panicked, and struggled repeatedly: "Young master, what are you doing?" Yanos said: "You killed my father, how can you not avenge this murder of my father?" Fabruck said: "I am the guardian of the Holy Guard, you can't tarnish people's innocence out of thin air." ”

Seeing this, Björqi stepped forward and said unhappily: "Young master, he is my subordinate, if there is anything that offends you, just tell me." Yanos sneered: "This time he can offend, poisoning the duke, what do you think of this crime......?" Isn't the Duke already healed?" said Arnos, "My father ate the powder made of the cordyceps and almost died, all because of the poison of this thief. ”

Fabrok shouted wildly, "What evidence do you have accusing me of killing the Duke?" Arnos shook his arm and kicked him on the stone floor: "When I was right to lie to you, I only said that my father was dead, but I never mentioned that it was killed by medicine. How do you know if you died of poison?

Farbrook was speechless as he curled up on the ground and stopped struggling. Björgzi said angrily: "Okay, you Fabruk, you are a Salzburg, I think you can be shrewd, so you are called into the Holy Guard! You, you did such a thing behind my back......" He was so angry that he couldn't speak, his right fist clenched, and Thor's hammer was about to strike.

At this moment, Fabruck suddenly jumped up from the ground, and in a strange way, he jumped up and down a few times, and rushed towards the door of the backyard. As if expecting this, Janos immediately drew a Roman javelin from the weapon rack on the side, shook its head, and pointed it towards Fabruk. The thirteen Roman javelins of the Hunyadi family were handed down by the Roman general Belisarius, and the javelin in his hand can be thrown or pierced, stable and fast, and has a classical atmosphere. Seeing that Fabruk was about to escape from the encirclement, Arnos bent his left leg forward, dragged his right leg straight, and flew out with a javelin in his hand in the posture of an ancient Roman spearman. When Fabruck heard the sound of the breaking wind, it was too late to avoid it, and the whole person howled miserably, and his left thigh was firmly nailed to the ground by a javelin.

At this time, Mama Gabriella, Provenzano, and the others came out of their hiding places, and Segolena also jumped out of the pile of thatch. He had just been in the haystack, and he had secretly looked through the cracks, and when Arnos had saluted the horse-faced man, he blew the emerald whistle and hit it with a try. The crowd gathered around Fabruk, and Janos thought that this man was the culprit who poisoned his father, so he couldn't help but grit his teeth, kicked him in the back, and scolded: "Good thief, you are still honest and good now." Provenzano said lightly: "If he doesn't recruit him, the young master can hand him over to me." The iron virgins and trolley beds in our Inquisition are gadgets for him to enjoy. ”

Although Fabruk had severe pain in his thigh, he was still in good spirits, and when he heard Provenzano say this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. The Inquisition is known to all continents, and all kinds of punishments in it are cruel and miserable, and they are no less cruel than the hell of Lusyphus, and they have fallen into their hands, and they are afraid that it is not their right to ask for death.

Thinking of this, Fabruk whispered, "Don't bother, I'll do it." Janos said, "Very good! If there is half a lie, be careful about your head." ”

Fabruk lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said slowly: "This matter has been planned for a long time. As early as when Zhu Ershan delivered the goods, I was held hostage by her and poured a stomach full of poison. She said that the poison would come in two months, and that if I listened to her, she would give me the antidote. What can I do but follow her plan? Sirenqin told me to wait for an opportunity to poison the four-leaf clover, and I fed it as I was told, thinking that when this thing was delivered to the Duke's palace, it would be fine. Unexpectedly, a magic hand painter was killed halfway through and stole the four-leaf clover. If this grass is lost, the Duke will not eat the worm alone. So Sirenqin Ji came to me again, and said that she had found another four-leaf clover, and that she had her own way to send it to Belgrade, but the Duke's Palace was strictly inspected, and I was afraid that I would not be able to do it, so I asked me to poison the Bazlisk worm, and said that the people in the Duke's Palace would only be wary of the leaves sent by outsiders, and they must be completely wary of this worm. ”

Mama Gabriella said: "No wonder the duke has taken the poison, and there is still a breath left - the Bazlisk worm is a living creature, and if you think of it, Na Qinji will not dare to drug it too violently and it will be self-defeating." Everyone knew the reason at this point, and they all thought that if it weren't for the magic hand painter to insert a lever, they were afraid that the duke would have died of poison at this time.

At the time of the accusation, Segolene was still wondering if Van Eyck had something to do with Sirench, but now he was relieved to hear Fabruck say this. Although he was not ashamed of Van Eyck, he had a good impression of the crazy obsession with art, and if it was actually pretended, his heart would be shocked.

Björk listened and remembered that one day Fabruck had offered to change his shirt on his behalf, and he must have done it at that time. He has been walking the guard for so many years, and he was put on a piece by his subordinates, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and he couldn't wait to go up and beat this dog to death with Thor Jiu.

Segolena then said: "I heard two voices in the compartment of the ship that day, one of them was you, and the other I couldn't hear, who is he......?"

Before he finished speaking, a fierce qi suddenly came out of nowhere, and it was firmly nailed to Fabruk's throat, and he died of anger. When I looked at it again, it turned out that what was stuck in his throat was a small wooden skewer used for bartending. Everyone was shocked, Fabruk was dozens of paces away from that group of holy guards, and there were several people in between, and this stick could actually penetrate the gap in the crowd and hit the throat, what kind of strength and accuracy it should be.

Provenzano and Mama Gabriela glanced at each other, and suddenly struck at the same time, and the two forces rushed towards the guards in unison. Both of them are senior masters, and they can see through the direction of the wooden skewer at a glance. Before the strength of the qi could be reached, he saw a person in the Holy Guard jumping high, and said with a strange smile in mid-air: "The two of you are really good eyesight, I have tried my best to restrain my breath, but I have been seen through." ”

He spun around in the air a few times, and his body was so swift that he was about to float out of the backyard. Provenzano shouted, "Do you still want to go?" and a "Simon Boat" was divided into three forces to attack the man's body. When Romulus and Segolena were fighting, he also used this move, the same move, the same method, but compared with the teacher, the judgment was superior. The first time he saw him attack, Segolena thought that if this trick was used against him, he would never be able to dodge it.

The man had nowhere to borrow his strength in mid-air, and he put his palms in front of his chest and shook violently. only heard a "bang", and he collided head-on with the strength of "Simon Boat", and his body flew out with this force. With a flick of Mama Gabriella's sleeve, a silent wall of air blocked it. The man threw his right hand, and seven wooden sticks flew over. Where would Mama Gabriella put these things in her eyes, and with a slight shake, she rolled the skewers into her sleeves. The man took advantage of this moment and stretched his arms straight out, like a tuna slamming straight into the wall of air. His whole body trembled violently, obviously injured by his strength, but the castration of his body did not slow down at all, and he forced to break through.

It is necessary to know that the true qi is unbridled, and there is a flow potential. In an instant, the man caught a glimpse of Mama Gabriella's true qi flowing, and forcibly penetrated it from the slowest place where the flow was slow, requiring both courage and skill. Mama Gabriella was surprised to see that he had broken her barrier in such a way.

The man jumped on the courtyard wall and said with a smile: "The heir of Ximen is really powerful." Today I am willing to admit defeat and come back another day to learn the lesson. "I turned around and disappeared without a trace. Janos was about to order the guards to chase after him, but Romulus grabbed him and shook his head. Provenzano and Mama Gabriella can still escape under the attack of the two masters in the world, this person's kung fu is by no means simple, and what can those guards do.

Yanos glanced at the wall stupidly, turned his head and frowned and asked Björqi, "What is the origin of this person?" How did Björrzi think that there were still such characters hidden in his subordinates, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and then said: "He only joined the Holy Guards half a year ago, claiming to be called Julio, how can he not show his dew on weekdays, and his martial arts are mediocre, who ......knows?"

Provenzano also stared at the wall, his white brows furrowed, as if he had some thoughts. Romulus stepped forward and asked, "What did the teacher think?" Provenzano said: "This person looks at his body and voice, it seems that he is familiar with me, could it be ......" He suddenly lost consciousness, and quickly changed his words: "Xu is the person who has fought before." ”

At this time, Björch came over tremblingly, Provenzano raised his eyebrows, and reprimanded: "How are you a holy guard! This is in Belgrade, if you go to the Holy See, won't the Pope also be dragged down by you?" Provenzano, in addition to the Inquisition, is also in charge of the law and order of the Holy See, and is Björzi's boss. His words were chopped down, and a "human sol" in the hall of Björgy fell to his knees, and repeatedly called it a capital crime. Provenzano said: "This time you lost the treasure first, and you missed the inspection later, sooner or later you will be guilty." Now is not the time, so step down. Björth's face was as dead as death, and he walked back to the front of the group with trembling hands, and beckoned the stunned guards to leave.

Repulsing Björzi, Yanos suddenly walked up to Segolina, knelt on one leg, flattened his chest with one hand, and said loudly: "I was blinded by anger, I blamed Your Excellency just now, I violated the seven virtues of knights, please punish the young man." "He is worthy of being a tiger, frank and open, admitting his mistakes when he knows them, and he is not pretentious. Segolena was greatly impressed, and hurriedly helped him up and said, "I sneaked into the old duke's castle to steal, and I was at fault first. Brother Tai doesn't have to be like this. A misunderstanding has been dissolved.

Romulus was also very happy, he had been at odds with Segolena several times, but he could not raise his murderous spirit, and now although he was not a friend, he finally turned into an enemy. Cherie was disapproving, pouting secretly, Rosemary still looked cold, and her eyes seemed to be unfocused.

Romulus said to his teacher: "It is disgusting that the Ottomans are so scheming. It seems that the Tarot Blood Alliance is colluding with the Ottoman Sultan, and I am afraid that it will be very disadvantageous to my Europa Martial Arts. Do we have to hurry up and inform the Pope and the major sects to make a plan as soon as possible? ”

Provenzano said: "The holy women of the Beguin Society are about to leave the customs, and there will naturally be leaders at that time. There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone. Mama Gabriella pretended not to hear it, sighed and said, "These things are put aside for the time being, but now the life and death of the old duke is the top priority." ”

She reminded everyone with one word, and everyone returned to the old duke's bedroom. The old duke is still the same, and the two famous Belgrade doctors who came by order are helpless at the head of the bed, unless they let the two masters continue their lives, they will not be able to support it for three days.

By this time, Capistrano had already settled the guests and rushed over. He listened to Janos repeat what had just happened, hung his head and said silently, paced back and forth in the room a few times, and hesitated: "Now there is only one way, but I don't know whether to make it or not." Janos had always admired Capistrano the most, and when he heard that there was a method, his eyes widened, and he asked in a loud voice, "What is it?" and the others pricked up their ears to know what the dervishes had in mind.

Capistrano hesitated for a long time before he said slowly: "Just one hundred and twenty miles south of Belgrade, there is a big mountain called Old Mountain. There was a famous doctor in the old mountain, whose methods were not inferior to the famous Arab doctor Ibn Sado. Janos hurriedly said, "In that case, I will prepare more gold and silver, and send someone to invite him in the starry night." Capistrano shook his head and said, "If it were that easy, I would have brought him here for the Duke a few years ago." No one knows the real name of this famous doctor, but because he was born with a haggy beard with dark blue roots, he got the nickname 'Bluebeard', and his personality is very eccentric. He has two hobbies in his life, one is to dissect human corpses, and the other is to fish and hunt beautiful women. ”

Romulus intercepted: "Although these two are not allowed by etiquette, they are not necessarily so strange. In our Inquisition, the doctors who secretly dissect corpses are burned to death for miles every year. Capistrano smiled bitterly: "What if the two become one? It is said that he married six wives successively, all of whom were stunning beauties, all of whom were killed by him by cruel means, and their bodies were hung in the cellar as treasures, and they were taken pleasure in **." Have you ever seen such a way to love beauty?"

The women present were all from the rivers and lakes, and they were used to killing, but they still shuddered when they heard such things, and even Mama Gabriella couldn't bear it, bowed her head and recited the mercy of the Virgin, muttering: "How can there be such cruel and strange people in the world?" Capistrano said: "That's exactly what I said." Because of his excellent medical skills, Bluebeard married his wives who were all famous and noble. When the mother's family heard that their daughter had been slaughtered in this way, they were all furious and gathered people to find him trouble. More than 100 people who didn't want to be sent entered the old mountain, and died completely overnight, and the death was extremely miserable, and no one dared to set foot in the old mountain area again. ”

Hearing these words made everyone feel cold. "This man is cruel, but what is his medical skills?" and Capistrano said, "The medical skills are wonderful, and he is chasing Galen." A few years ago, an elder of the dervishes fell ill and went to seek medical treatment. At that time, the elder was wounded by the enemy, his limbs and bones were broken, and half of his skull was shattered. Segolena said, "Isn't that a good thing? ”

Capistrano said: "Good is good, but the price is very high. After Bluebeard healed him, he took his twin daughters captive. The elder was so angry that he died. For this grievance, the dervishes gathered a group of friends on the rivers and lakes to crusade, but as a result, more than half of their lives were lost in the old mountains, and only a few people escaped by luck, and they were already scared half crazy. After Capistrano finished speaking, he tore his robe to the left and right, revealing his chest, only to see three narrow scars stretching from his chest to his neck, all the way to the back of his head and jaw, which was shocking.

Capistrano said bitterly: "I was on the team at the time. The bluebeard said that he wanted to study which muscles of the human body could affect the expression, so he broke a few tendons on my face, neck and chest, leaving these scars, and from then on there was no other expression except bitterness. When they saw his wound and thought of the pain they had suffered, they felt a tingling sensation on their backs.

Janos said, "But my father has been ill for a long time, why did you never mention this doctor?" Capistrano shook his head and said, "Although the Duke has the Weeping of Medusa, he still has Ibn Sado and the medicine he left behind. I think that since there are mulberry beads, why bother asking for them, so I never mentioned them. That old mountain, I don't want to go again in this life, I don't want to mention it again......" He sighed, pulled up his robe again, his face was still bitter, but it was slightly distorted and trembling, it can be seen that the horror of the day still exists today.

When everyone heard of this demonic doctor, they were all terrified, and there was silence in the room. Janos looked at the old duke, and could not help but be greatly depressed, and sat down in his chair, clasped his hands, and muttered: "This bluebeard is so dangerous, and Doctor Ibn Sado is far away in the Middle East, so my father is not saved......"

Segolena suddenly asked, "How many days will it take to get to the old mountain here?" Capistrano said: "This is all the way to the south, past the Madia hills, and it will be there in four days." Segolena let out a "hmm", and suddenly chanted aloud for no reason: "I worship the true God, God says that there is a place, save all suffering, and there is no great terror." I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.

This is a verse from Psalm 34 that says that Jehovah gives courage and prayer to those who believe in Christ. Everyone present knew that when they heard Segolena chanting such a paragraph, they didn't know what he meant. Segolena drew a cross on his chest and said, "The teacher taught me before my death, let me be cautious about protecting the Holy Religion." Today, when I saw the old duke convening a heroic conference to go to the martyrdom, willing to be a barrier for Christ, and repel the group of Ottoman Turkish barbarians, he was really a brave saint with a righteous heart, and I really admired it in my heart. Before going down, he was deceived into stealing things from the duke, and his heart was ashamed. Let me stop this errand, and I should apologize for the old duke. ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised, and they all looked over. Yanos was stunned and said, "What...... What kind of errand?" said Segolena with a smile: "Please lend me a horse, young master, and I will go to the old mountain and bring the bluebeard to Belgrade to treat the duke." This sentence was like a crisp cannon on a sunny day, and everyone in the room was dumbfounded, only Provenzano sneered.

Mama Gabriella cared for his well-being, and reminded, "Son, how cruel that Bluebeard is, and you don't know the truth of his martial arts, you can't please go—it should have been me or Master Provenzano." ”

She and Provenzano are both seniors in the rivers and lakes, and they attach great importance to their identities, no matter how domineering Bluebeard is, one of them is enough. Segolena shook his head when he heard this, and said: "The duke is not in danger now, how can you leave unless you two can't continue your life?" The two seniors can only rest assured that they will be in Belgrade to promote the palace luck for the duke, and within ten days, I will bring Bluebeard back." ”

Romulus was ashamed to hear this. He has always pretended to be an apostle to protect the court, but now he is not as bold as a wild boy who does not know the details. He couldn't hold back the agitation in his heart, and even the teacher forgot to ask for instructions, and walked loudly: "I am also willing to go to Laoshan in the next place, and I will meet that bluebeard for a while." Cherie exclaimed: "Senior brother, you ......" Romulus remembered that he had not asked the teacher at this time, Provenzano was very strict on weekdays, and he would never allow his disciples to trespass and break the rules. Romulus hurriedly walked up to Provenzano, lifted the placket of his shirt, knelt on one leg, lowered his head and said, "Teacher, you always teach us on weekdays, and what we are guarding is not the Holy See, but the city of God in the hearts of all beings. Today is the time for apprentices to practice, please be gracious!"

Provenzano nodded slightly, but a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at Segolena. Romulus knew that the teacher had something to say to his face, and wanted to keep a close eye on the blonde boy of unknown origin along the way, so he hurriedly made a unique gesture from Simon's gospel to indicate that he knew.

Mama Gabriella pondered for a moment and raised a hand: "Even if there is one more person, it is only the two of you, which is not appropriate after all. I'll let Ethel follow you. Romulus frowned and said, "That Bluebeard is the most greedy for beauty, isn't it dangerous for Sister Ethel to go?" Mama said: "Ethel is practicing the Holy Gate of the Beguin Society, and he can best restrain these lustful people." With her by her side, she can take care of you. What's more, she also knows some medical skills, and if you are injured, you can be treated. ”

Before Romulus and Segolena could speak, Provenzano pointed to his hands and ordered: "She is the only woman on the road, it is not enough to be thoughtful." Rosemary, you go with your brother, and take care of Ethel on the way. Rosemary bowed slightly, and only replied briefly: "Respect the master's order." There is nothing else to say, there is no joy or anger in the eyes, and it is impossible to understand it.

Of his three disciples, Romulus was the first but too benevolent, Cherie was short-tempered and had little scheming, and only the youngest disciple, Rosemary, was moody, thoughtful, and straightforward, which most suited Provenzano's temperament. Sending her this time also implied Provenzano's sense of competition, and prevented Beguinhui from being in the limelight.

Yanosh's face turned red at this time, and he didn't know what to say, so he said for a while: "If it weren't for the responsibility of defending the city, I really want to go with you." Segolena said: "Young Master, you concentrate on defending the city, and the four of us will not disappoint you." Janos said, "I don't thank you for my great kindness. On the day of the return of the righteous soldiers, I personally led the whole city to welcome the soldiers and civilians. The tone was excited, and the heart was surging.

Capistrano admonished, "When you go this time, you must remember. Bluebeard is best at dividing people up with illusions, and then breaking them individually. This is how the dervishes of the Dervishes were defeated that day. Do not be deceived by him, for the four must not be separated for a moment. Romulus and Segolena nodded in unison, and looked at each other again, knowing each other.

On this day, everyone was busy. Capistrano and Janos were busy sending off the guests, and although Ethel had been poisoned by Abidella, she had a timely treatment of Segolena, a Galen elixir, and a tribulation of the Holy Gate Xuangong that she had practiced, and the miraculous effect of dispelling poison and dissolving yin, so she only had one night of recuperation. Segolena took advantage of this spare time to meet Augustine, and Arnos released him from the water prison and set up another room. However, the black man was seriously injured and could not follow his master. Segolena let him recuperate and wait for him to return from the old mountain. Some of the people in Simon's Gospel didn't come to trouble Segolena, and they didn't know what to do behind closed doors.

The next morning, Arnos had ordered four horses to be prepared, and all the utensils, food, and grass were ready. Romulus, Segolena, Rosemary, and Ethel went out of the south gate together, and the others only sent blessings at the city gate. Mama Gabriella took Ethel's hand and said, "This time is not trivial, you don't want to be sloppy and drag others down." At the beginning of his recovery, Ethel's face was still a little pale, flushed, and obvious, but he just lowered his head and twisted: "Mama, just rest assured, I will protect them." ”

Segolena and Romulus didn't hear anything, only the corners of Rosemary's mouth twitched slightly, as if they were a little disdainful. At this time, Capistrano took out two dark green pills from his bosom, let Ethel and Rosemary take them, carefully considered the words, and said: "Bluebeard is cruel and easy to kill, and if a woman falls into his hands, it will be extremely unbearable. There are two highly poisonous scorpion tail pills here, which will kill you at the touch of the tip of your tongue, just prepare for your emergency needs. Although his words were tactful, the meaning was clear and tight. Ethel and Rosemary took the pill and put it on their bodies, their mood indescribable. Romulus laughed and said, "Who in the world can make it difficult for the Gospel of Simon to join forces with the successors of the Beguinchurch." ”

When Janos saw that the hour was approaching, he carried a green branch in his hand according to Serbian custom, and sprinkled a circle of pure water back and forth around the horses for the warriors who were about to go on the march. He was about to speak. Segolena shook the reins and exclaimed, "Without further ado, let's go!" four horses neighed in unison, and sixteen iron hooves galloped out, kicking up a puff of smoke and dust. By the time the smoke and dust had cleared, the four of them had run hundreds of paces away. Provenzano stood at the head of the city with his hands in his hands, looking condescendingly at Segolena's figure, the two white eyebrows were intertwined like a sword, and the white robe was fluttering lightly, and he was silent.
