CH.42 It's Hard to Ride a Tiger
"Blood Rose? What Blood Rose? Shafi frowned slightly, showing a puzzled expression, and asked Goyle. The other party's reaction is really strange,
"I'm sorry, I was wrong, I wouldn't have come here if I had known you were here......" Goyle took two steps back as he looked at the seemingly delicate woman across from him in horror, hammer in hand.
An Rui was in the room, listening to the conversation very clearly, and the orc in front of him seemed to know Sha Fei. If the orcs were allowed to reveal Shafi's true identity, it would be a bit of a bad thing, and it would definitely arouse Shafi's suspicions.
If Sha Fei knew her previous identity, she would probably be angry because of An Rui's lies, and she might even recover her previous memories and turn back into the murderous female pirate!
"No, I can't let him go on." An Rui immediately made a decision, pulled out the long sword placed in the corner, and rushed to the door, while shouting, "Shafei, this orc is a killer, he wants to kill the two of us, don't be polite to him, do it with him!" ”
"But what he said was so strange......" Shafi looked at An Rui with a twinkle in her eyes, but she was not in a hurry to make a move.
The orc Gore standing next to him was in a hurry first, and when he heard that An Rui asked Sha Fei to do it, his face suddenly changed drastically, and he couldn't care much anymore, so he directly held the hammer and rushed to the window on the side. He leaped forward, shattered the glass, and jumped headlong out of the coffin.
Outside, Goyle straightened up, covered with shards of glass and small wounds, and ran into the distance without looking back, his back fading away.
"Don't run!" Sha Fei hurriedly stopped and took a step, wanting to chase after her, but her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Anrui grabbed Shafi's wrist and pulled her back into place.
"Why are you pulling me?" Shafi turned around and asked anxiously.
"In this situation, I have to pull you, I can't let you run out of the road to chase people like this." An Rui lowered his head slightly, and made a gesture with his eyes.
Sha Fei was stunned for a moment, and then followed An Rui's gaze to look at Lu Xia, and her face turned red all of a sudden, as if two fiery clouds had risen.
Due to the urgency of the matter, after hearing the sound from next door, Shafei wrapped a bath towel in her hand and hurried over, not even wearing shoes. At this time, she only had a bath towel wrapped around her body, but there was nothing else to hide, and there were signs of loss up and down.
Under the wrapping of the white bath towel, the two crisp breasts showed a round arc, squeezing out a deep cleavage*. The water-stained wheat-colored skin has a charming glow that makes people a little dazzled. The area of the bath towel is limited, and the bottom can only cover the root of the thigh, and then pull up about three fingers, I'm afraid it will be a big leak.
A tattoo of a red rose stretched out from the base of the right thigh, wrapping around the smooth sun-kissed skin, winding down the cheeks like a real rose.
I don't know if there are any other clothes in this bath towel that can cover the body, if it is completely in a vacuum, it will be even more thoughtful.
"I'm going to get dressed...... "Sophie whispered, and fled back to her bathroom and closed the door. After a while, there was the sound of rustling clothes.
Things seem to be stabilizing. An Rui breathed a sigh of relief, retreated to his room, wiped himself briefly, and quickly got dressed. He was already almost washed, and after such an accident, he was in no mood to wash it anymore.
While getting dressed, he thought about two things. The first thing is how to deal with Shafi and continue to hide the identity of the other party; The second thing is to speculate on the identity of the hired murderer. The orc just said clearly that he was caused by people and received money from people, and there must be a main messenger behind the scenes.
For the first thing, An Rui felt that he had to hide Sha Fei from her no matter what, and not let her know the truth, otherwise the consequences would be very serious, so serious that he could not bear it.
An Rui deceived Shafei and lied that he was Shafei's captain, which was too risky, but now it is difficult to ride a tiger, even if he knows that he is taking risks, he still has to continue to deceive. Letting Sha Fei know the truth and regain her memories would not do him or Sha Fei herself any good.
As for the identity of the hired murderer, An Ruisi thought about it, and could only think of the scar man's gang. During the time he and Shafi came to Iron Cannon Harbor, they had only made a feud with Scar Man's gang, and only that gang hated him and Shafi so much.
Thinking of these two things, An Rui's eyes condensed slightly, hurriedly put on his clothes, packed his things, and walked out of the room.
The owner of the bathhouse had already rushed over after hearing the news, and was worried about the broken wooden door. As soon as he saw An Rui walking out, he immediately stepped up, opened his mouth to ask this and that, and his tone revealed that he wanted An Rui to pay for the loss.
Anrui didn't bother to entangle with this boss more, so he just threw a few copper coins over, and then asked a few questions, such as whether the orcs had accomplices or something.
After the boss took the money, his face immediately improved, faster than turning a book. He answered Anrui's question, claiming that the orcs had two other accomplices, one of whom was Scarface. However, after the orcs fled, the two accomplices also fled, and they were long gone.
Judging from the information provided by the boss, the main messenger behind the scenes is indeed Scarface's gang, which confirms An Rui's previous speculation.
"Hmph, it seems that you didn't clean up hard enough last time, and I didn't let you remember it for a long time, and the next time I meet you, I won't show mercy to my subordinates." An Rui touched his chin, his eyes narrowed, and there was a fierce look in his eyes.
It didn't take long for Sophie to get dressed and walk out of the room. After she saw An Rui, she immediately asked, "Did you hear that orc just say 'Blood Rose', and what does this word mean?" ”
"The Blood Rose probably refers to the tattoo on your leg." An Rui said perfunctorily.
"Is that all?"
"Probably. If you really want to know the way, let's go after the orc killer, catch him and ask if you want to. ”
"Okay, let's go get him together, he was so weird just now." Shafi nodded, tightened the scimitar hanging from her waist, and rushed out of the bathhouse first.
An Rui followed with a complicated expression.
Sophie ran ahead and chased a few streets along the road, but she never saw any sign of the orc, and she was delayed in getting dressed, and the other party had obviously run away. Unable to catch up with the orcs, she had to give up, looking a little disappointed.
……
As Sophie chased Goyle, the orc had fled home.
The house was more or less shabby, just a small wooden hut with very simple furnishings, all kinds of miscellaneous items piled up on the floor, and there were broken jerky and half-drunk wine bottles on the table.
Goyle rushed into the house, closed the door, and leaned against it, panting as if a dragon was chasing him from behind.
After a while, he adjusted his breath, walked to the table, grabbed the half-drunk bottle, and took a few large sips into his mouth, borrowing alcohol to suppress the shock.
"Bang bang bang......" Suddenly someone knocked on the door, startling Goyle in the house, and then a familiar voice came in, "Goyle, why did you suddenly run back?" What really happened in the bathhouse? ”
Goyle heard that it was Aru who was making the sound, and an evil fire immediately burst from his chest and rushed to the top of his head, causing his eyes to narrow. He walked to the door, pulled the door open, and without saying a word, grabbed Aru, who was standing at the door, into the house.
"You almost killed me, do you know the truth? You bastard! Goyle grabbed Aru by the collar and snarled at him, spitting a few bits of saliva in his face.
"Kill you? Why should I kill you? Aru said blankly.
"You hired me to kill those two people to harm me, do you know who that woman is? She's a Blood Rose! Blood Rose Shafi! That's a female pirate through and through, and she never takes a soft heart when it comes to killing, even more ruthless than an orc like me. It's a good thing she didn't chase me just now, otherwise I would have been dismantled by now! ”
"I've heard her name Shafi, but I don't know what kind of Blood Rose she is, and I haven't heard of the nickname Blood Rose......" Aru turned pale with fright, and his voice became lower and lower, like a mosquito.
"You lonely and unheard of fellow!" Goyle shook Aru's body a few times, then thrust forward and slammed into the wooden wall opposite, smashing the entire wooden house into a tremble, "Since you haven't heard the nickname Blood Rose, I'll tell you now." She is a female pirate leader, leading people to and fro on the Blade Sea, specializing in selecting lone merchant ships to attack. She has killed countless people, her hands are covered with blood, and there are countless dead souls under her knife......"
"Didn't you kill a lot of people too?"
"That's different! I've killed less than a tenth of hers, and I'll never laugh when I kill! That woman is a madman, you know? She takes pleasure in killing, and after killing someone, she will laugh and laugh, have you ever seen this kind of person? ”
Aru swallowed and shook his head.
"Being able to kill is not the same thing as liking to kill, and the latter is more terrifying than the former. And Shafei's strength is far above mine, even if there are two of them, I can't be her opponent. Goyle fumbled in his pocket a few times, took out a gold coin, and shoved it into Aru's mouth, "This is your gold coin, take it and get out!" This gold coin will bring me bad luck, I don't want it! If you still want to die, you can continue to find someone to deal with Shafi, but you have to take some money out, and five gold coins are not enough. To offer a bounty on Shafi's head, five hundred gold coins is about the same. ”
Aru's face turned even paler, and wisps of blood spilled between his teeth.
Goyle grabbed Aru by the collar and walked to the door again, kicking Aru out of the door with a hard kick on his ass* and slamming it against the door.
Aru fell a dog and spit out the gold coins in his mouth, and his butt * stock was kicked in a hot pain. He grinned, rubbed his buttocks, sat up from the ground, and muttered in a low voice, "Is that woman so terrible?" ”
