On the wide road, several carriages drove slowly, and suddenly, two people, a man and a woman, jumped out of a bush next to them, the boy was covered in wounds, but he still carried the girl on his back, and when he saw the carriage, as if he saw hope, he ran more vigorously to this side. Behind them, several masked bandit men chased after them.

"Help... Help" the boy seemed to use his last strength, fell in front of the horse pulling the carriage, "snort" the driver of the carriage hurriedly stopped the horse, felt the carriage stop, several people got down from the carriage, the thief saw that the other party was outnumbered, so he retreated.

"Please, please, save my brother, my brother is my only relative..." More often than not, a serious injury made them believe Akatomi's words.

There are more than ten deep and shallow knife wounds on his body, and he is still bleeding all the time, and his face is pale. When the people of the Lombatini circus were no longer loaded into the carriage, they did not realize that the corners of their mouths were slightly curled up, and the mission was completed!

Looking at the carriage that was moving away, Gozqi and the others walked out, and Guy and Nahaxiu were still dressed as bandits.

"Father, is the boss okay?" Tsukushi's face was full of worry. Before the mission, in order to make the mission go more smoothly, he proposed to draw a lot of wounds on his body. Originally, everyone unanimously disagreed, but they couldn't resist his temper, and finally obeyed his wishes.

"No problem." Gozzi seemed to be thinking of something, and replied cursoryly.

"Anyway, the boss has changed a lot since the first mission, and I feel much more mature and stable than before."

The city of Tyken in the northern part of the empire.

"Everyone, welcome to the performance of the Lombatini Circus, please enjoy the wonderful performance that the new member of the troupe, the red pupil, has never brought before."

The tacit cooperation between the two amazed all the citizens who came to watch, and the handsome Zawei and the cute red pupils feasted their eyes.

"Everyone, the next thing is the trick that has not yet been done - magic! Enjoy! ”

Arthur held a white handkerchief in his hand, and with a flick of it, a pigeon flew out of him. After hovering over the stage for two weeks, it landed on his shoulder. Without patting it lightly on the head, the pigeon flew up again, completing all kinds of difficult maneuvers in the air.

Then, a snow-white cat suddenly jumped onto the stage, and jumped directly on the head of Ji Wei, causing the crowd below to sigh, who is this not a ball? But at this time, Maruko should be with Nahaxiu and them, so it won't be sneaked out, right?

In order to save the embarrassing atmosphere, he didn't take the pill off his head, gave the red pupil a look, held the maruko in front of him, and glared at it with a look that wanted to kill the cat, and the maruko didn't have a conscience to scream, but as soon as he saw that she was holding something like a fire ring and a flying saucer in her hand, the cat's face immediately changed color, and she wanted to break free from her hand frantically, but it was too late, and the red pupil had already set up a fire ring and threw the ball over mercilessly......

The crowd erupted in loud cheers.

"Unexpectedly, these two siblings are quite capable......" The circus director looked at the two people who were performing hard at the front stage. And the skills are not bad, with tacit understanding, and the adaptability is also very strong. A hedgehog-headed man walked over.

"Perforation, what do you think of the two of them? Maybe you can ......," said the circus director to himself. "However, we haven't figured out the bottom line of the two of them, so we have the audacity to say who we are." Hole said worriedly.

"But such a good seedling... It's a pity. ”

Before he and Chi Hitomi finished their performance, they came to the back of the stage to rest, and Maruko immediately ran away, probably going back to Nahaxiu and them.

"Now, Red Hitomi, has your father been in touch?" "Well, the fish will be baited tomorrow night."

Is it going to be done tomorrow night? It seems that it is time for a showdown with them. I didn't look at the blue sky anymore, and I thought to myself.

Since the last mission, he has become more and more silent, and he does not fight back when provoked by Guy, and has a false smile on his face all day long.

"Gollum" Chi Hitomi's stomach screamed again, and before he took out a piece of compressed beef, he handed it to Red Hitomi, and said angrily, "Are you hungry again?" This is my last piece. ”

Red Hitomi scratched her head and blushed and took the compressed beef that had not been handed over. Because he knew that Akatomi would go hungry easily during the mission, he prepared a lot of rations before the mission, but he still couldn't fill Akatomi's stomach.

"Forget it, I'm on the street, are you coming?" He didn't stand up anymore and stretched. Red Hitomi hesitated, "Okay." ”

Because it was still early, he had slipped out of the circus with his red pupils and walked towards the city. (The circus is stationed outside the city)

The street is still relatively wide, and two carriages can drive side by side, and they have not pulled the red pupils, like a group of young couples. It was about half past ten in the morning, and there were many people on the streets, all of whom were running around and toiling for work.

It's late summer, and the city of Teken is in the northern part of the Empire, so it's already a little cooler, and there's still a light wind. There are clothing stores everywhere on both sides of the street, but there are very few people coming in and out, most of them are wives and ladies from wealthy families, followed by guards with large bags and small bags hanging on their bodies.

"Why don't you go in and have a look?" Didn't ask anymore.

Red Hitomi shook her head, although she was a woman, she only had meat in her eyes, so she had been quietly and had not walked.

"Gollum" Red Pupil's stomach screamed again, and Red Pupil clutched her stomach vigorously, her face crimson.

Looking at the red pupils, he didn't want to laugh very much, "Let's go, take you to eat." His pace quickened slightly.

The sun came out, shining warmly on his body, and he had eaten all the snacks in Taiken City without taking the red pupil, although the wallet was much flattened, but the red pupil's stomach was no longer called.

Every time I pay in front of the stall, I always feel like I have a tattoo in my body and a cold feeling in my back. If you think about it, you know that the rest of the assassination team is probably staring at themselves and the red pupil in the dark now.

After eating the snacks of the whole street, he took the red pupil and walked back, visited many clothing stores, and considering the limited funds, he simply bought a few trinkets, and when he returned to the circus, it was already time for dinner, and clusters of cooking smoke rose.

"Oh, I'm looking for you. It's almost time to start eating, and I can't find you two brothers and sisters. ”

At the dinner table, although he had just eaten a lot of snacks, Red Hitomi still added two more meals. I was afraid for a while, afraid that I would partner with the red pupil in the future, and my wallet would not be able to hold it.

The head of the regiment said that he was going to leave for the next city after eating, and the red pupil felt very strange, he had just arrived in Taiken City yesterday afternoon, and he was going to leave again so soon? He licked his lips unconsciously as he spoke.

In fact, you can't bear to eat the snack bar here. He said silently in his heart.

"It's because of the White Wave Bandits, you have to pass through there if you want to get to the next city, right?" He who had been silent no longer spoke.

"yes. If we go now, we'll be there before dark. Otherwise, if you run into a bandit or something, you will be in trouble. The head of the regiment said helplessly.

After eating, the circus quickly cleaned up and hit the road.

But it was still a little slower, and it was just after dark that I had just reached Baibo Mountain, and there was still some distance from the end.

Red Hitomi was a little sleepy and rested in the second carriage. None of the main members of the circus were in the first carriage. The big man Danguan teased her because she was ridiculed by Natalia for motion sickness, and the atmosphere in the whole carriage was still very harmonious.

Suddenly, the carriage shook violently and stopped.

It's finally coming, bandits of Baibo Mountain.

Everyone hurriedly got out of the car, and sure enough, a large group of people blocked the front of the convoy. At the front is a man riding a tall horse with a mustache, who should be the leader of the bandits in Baibo Mountain.

See the people getting out of the carriage, especially a few of the beautiful women. The bandits have all planned in their hearts, and when they are caught...... (Ahem, Mina-san, please make up for it yourself)

"It seems that this trip has not been in vain, so many beautiful ......" The thief boss looked even more confused, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted, "Be quiet, my sister is sleeping." ”

"What?" The bandit boss was dying but he didn't know it, a throwing knife cut the artery in his neck, "I said, be quiet, my sister is sleeping." "The voice was very cold, like a sharp knife." Plop," the bandit boss fell off his horse in response.

"Quick... Shoot," said a bandit who had been around him, it should be a small leader, and as soon as the words fell, the rest of the thieves had not yet reacted, and had not held a dagger against his throat in his right hand. "This is the third time, be quiet, my sister is sleeping."

In the next second, the dagger opened an arc of blood, and the other thieves reacted, but found that a silver needle was inserted into the back of his hand holding the gun, and he had not turned his head, and made a "virtual" movement, and all the thieves fell to the ground. Black blood oozed from the wound on the back of their hand.

Poison on the needle!

Looking at the people who walked slowly, with an evil smile on their faces, two words unconsciously appeared in the minds of all the thieves - demons. I wanted to run away from here, but my body seemed to be drained, and I couldn't lift any energy.

He squatted next to a bandit, beckoned and said hello, took out the thief's money bag, and then the next ......

Just when his spoils had not been collected, the men of Lombatini's circus came to their senses. One by one, they couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"Commander...... Did you see that. Kong Ya said lightly.

The circus leader nodded with difficulty, "We're in danger." ”

I don't have such a strong strength, but I will be hunted down by a few bandits? Even if there is a red pupil, through this month's observation, her strength is also very strong. The only possibility, then, is that Haven and Red Hitomi are deliberately approaching them.

Before he finished humming a little song and finished packing up the booty, he paced to the carriage, "Yo everyone, I'm sorry, I didn't stop, it's all done." ”

"What is the purpose of you and Red Hitomi?" Danguan asked excitedly, and the eyes of the rest of the people were also full of suspicion.

"Don't you think it's cold outside?" He was still smiling and boarded the carriage first.

The others followed in disbelief, and had not yet gotten into the carriage.

No longer sitting on one side of the carriage, the rest of the circus sat on the other side, "Actually, I'm from the Empire." "I don't have a weird smile anymore, I live like a cunning fox." The goal is all of you. ”

The circus people had already guessed the identity of the unknown, so they were not so surprised, "So, what are you going to do?" ”

"This is where my biggest headache is," he said, holding his head and making a very helpless expression, "On the one hand, I don't want to kill you just because of the red pupils, and on the other hand, the task forces me to attack you." So......" didn't stop, clasping his hands together in front of his chest, "I can only ask you to sacrifice it, don't worry, it won't hurt." He kept his head down so that no one could see his tightly bitten lip.

"Really? So......" Holetooth exchanged a look with the other circus members, "and it's going to be hard!" Everyone in the circus pulled out their weapons and killed Arthur, "Pop" no longer clapped their hands, "Everyone, pay attention, the poison works." Everyone suddenly felt weak. Only Kong Ya was left alone, still standing stubbornly.

"You ......" looked at his companion who had fallen to the ground, his face turned fierce, and he picked up the big knife and slashed at him.

"Tear up" A bloody arrow splattered out, spraying his face with a perforated face, and he still couldn't believe what was happening in front of him.

He didn't stumble for a moment, his face turned pale, and he laughed miserably. Just now he was fully capable of dodging Kongya's crooked slash, but instead of dodging, instead, he hit Kongya's blade hard.

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to... I want to live with my companions, forgive us, we just want to live simply and happily. ”

"Dingling" Kongya's knife fell to the ground, "Why......" he muttered in a low voice, silent for a long time, "why do we have to be enemies?" Why? Why can't we coexist? Suddenly, he stepped forward to his side and shook his shoulders vigorously.

I no longer endured the pain of the wound tearing, "because... Because we don't have the strength to fight against fate, we don't have the right to control our own destiny. "Yes," he said, "......yes," he said, lost his mind, and fell back into deep thought.

Immediately, he suddenly hugged the crumbling Ji Wei, "No more, thank you, thank you for telling me how much, thank you for being with us, even if it is only a month........." It's true that I don't have the ability to fight against fate, so, so, so, so please live for me, don't, don't lose your companion anymore, please, please fulfill my wish for me. ”

With that, the hole put his head on the shoulder, and this time it was Arthur who hugged the hole. "Don't worry, I won't let the empire go..."

Really, my eyes are blurry again...... I felt a line of liquid running down from the corner of my eye, and I didn't bite my lip to keep myself from making any sound.
