Chapter 63: The Harvest and the Journey Home (Part II)
I opened the back door and opened the door to a storage room not far from the back door of the hotel. And quickly rushed in.
"Fourth! Are you sure it's here? When everyone withdrew into the storage room, Xu Fei asked Fei Yun in a low voice who was knocking on the cabinet in the storage room.
"Of course! That's the news I asked Andora that the fat dead man paid 10 gold coins to buy! But it's a pity that the dead fat man has really become a dead fat man now! Fei Yun's face showed a sad expression, although Andora was an aborigine, he was the most temperamental innkeeper Fei Yun had ever seen. He always has a happy smile on his face, and his fat flesh does not give people a bloated feeling. On the contrary, it makes people feel very gentle, but it is a pity that the chubby boss Andora has now turned into a dead body in the cellar not far away.
After a few taps. Fei Yun seemed to have discovered the expected mechanism, and gently moved a hidden button that looked like it was fixed to the closet, and the originally closed closet slowly opened to reveal a passage in the sound of the machine. Everyone quickly rushed in through the entrance of the passage. Then the closet was quickly closed. Less than a minute after they fled the inn, hundreds of soldiers in City Guard armor broke open the door and rushed in, led by Viscount Miranda, the head of the noble senate in the Redstone Fortress.
"Damn! Why not?! Where did those outsiders go? Viscount Miranda roared angrily at the soldiers beside him, he had paid a great deal for this operation, and the poison coated with the dagger used by the assassin alone was worth ten thousand gold. But they didn't expect that the assassination was unsuccessful, and the poisoning was also dodged by Chen Kai and them. However, the reason why he spent so much effort to deal with Chen Kai and them was not because Chen Kai and Baron Zaf were relatively close, but because he suspected that Baron Zaf would start Asma? The key to the Fury of Purgatory was secretly handed over to Chen Kai. Of course, this is completely Viscount Miranda wronged Chen Kai and them, although Chen Kai and Baron Zaf have a good relationship, but they are not good enough to make the other party believe unconditionally. It's just that Viscount Miranda trusted his own judgment under the misdirection of Baron Zaf, and thus took the current measures.
Of course, this is not entirely Viscount Miranda's stupidity, but Baron Zaf's design is too clever. He even handed Chen Kai something very similar to the activation key of the magic cannon in front of Viscount Miranda. And this thing is really just a valuable handicraft made of gold and precious stones.
Chen Kai didn't know it himself, and they unwittingly became a shield for Baron Zaf to transfer the power of the aristocratic senate. After escaping from the inn, the group hurriedly fled towards the eastern part of the Redstone Fortress, not daring to go to Baron Zaf or anyone else, but chose the most correct way to escape the Redstone Fortress without contacting anyone. Although this practice is a bit dangerous. They had to get out before Viscount Miranda sealed the fortress, but in fact this was the best way to go. Because it is impossible for Viscount Miranda to blockade the entire Redstone Fortress unless he already holds the command of the fortress, and in fact it is already his limit to mobilize hundreds of soldiers.
As a result, under the condition that Chen Kai himself couldn't believe, they successfully passed through the eastern fortress gate of the redstone fortress and successfully escaped from the redstone fortress. Of course, on the one hand, Viscount Miranda was left behind by Chen Kai and they didn't know the whereabouts of the group at all, and on the other hand, it was because some of the aboriginal soldiers guarding the gate of the East Fortress happened to know Chen Kai. The most important thing is that these soldiers belong to the local military forces of the Red Stone Fortress, and they are very directly let Chen Kai and them go by the hint of Baron Zaf. Wait until Viscount Miranda chases him to the fortress gates. Chen Kai: They have already run away. …,
"Damn it! Why did you let the fugitives go?!! Viscount Miranda roared angrily at the soldiers guarding the gate, but his roar was not over, and he suddenly found that the soldiers around him had drawn their weapons and pointed the tips of their weapons at him.
"What are you doing? Want to rebel? Bastard! I'm the Viscount of the Empire, you can't do that! No!! Please spare me! Beg... Ahh And the soldiers around him were honeycombed by the dense barrage of crossbow arrows. After the death of Viscount Miranda, the entire Redstone Fortress subordinate to the Noble Senate was completely purged by the angry Redstone Fortress military and noble mages. As for the reason, it is very simple, because these two parties do not want the poisonous snake of the noble senate to hide in the redstone fortress again, and the assassination of the three ** divisions has made the entire noble mage class completely angry, and they are not only attacking the forces of the noble senate in the redstone fortress. Attacks that have also been carried out elsewhere.
"Is Baron Zaf okay?" A Baron Zizama stood behind Baron Zaf and looked at the Viscount Miranda who was killed under the city walls, even if he already knew that there was no turning back, Baron Zizama was still very afraid, after all, the noble senate had a very large foundation and strength in the Rohan Empire. The noble senators with eight slacks are considered to be the most competitive force for the throne of the Rohan Empire in the entire Rohan Empire, and now that the emperor of the Rohan Empire has gradually aged down, the royal family of the Rohan Empire without heirs is very likely to be replaced by a new Snort.
"Remember that the surname of the Emperor of the Rohan Empire will always be Zakolov!" Baron Zaf left behind these words and left the city wall directly. Simply ignore Baron Zizama, who was in a daze on the city walls. At this moment, the baron remembered that if the inheritance was really to be counted, then Baron Zaf's inheritance to the throne of the Rohan Empire was far higher than that of the noble senate. Because those slack marquis are not surnamed Zakolov, and the family of Baron Zav is called Zav's family. But in fact, just to avoid the imperial royal family's surname, the middle two words were hidden. At the same time, as the closest branch of the imperial family now, at least half of the blood in Baron Zaf's body is the blood of the Zachlov family.
The fighting between the nobles in the Red Stone Fortress is another example of the brutality of the political struggle, and although there were laws in place in the Rohan Empire, those laws did not restrain the fighting between the high nobles. In less than half a day after Chen Kai and the others left the Redstone Fortress, there were hundreds of nobles who died in the fortress, from viscounts to lords, not counting their families. It can be said that less than six days after the Redstone Fortress experienced the undead attack, a large number of personnel were "killed". Once the Redstone Fortress was completely secured, the commander of the fortress became Baron Zaf, or the new Earl of Zaf.
Of course, they didn't know about Chen Kai on the way to escape, and they didn't get the news of the Redstone Fortress until they fled to Carmelas. However, they had only gotten the news after they had been in Cameras for three days, and it had been two days since Baron Zaf had become Count and Commander of the Redstone Fortress.
"I'll it! I didn't expect that in the end, it was Zaf's fat man who picked up the cheap! Dry!! Fei Yun directly burst into a foul mouth after hearing the news, and after carefully sorting out their behavior in the Red Stone Fortress, Chen Kai and the others found that they seemed to be caught in some kind of conspiracy. After they sorted out some items, they found the golden key that Chen Kai had thrown in the space ring, looking at the special patterns on this key and the lines that seemed to be like secret patterns, Xu Fei, who was the first to understand, knew that they had been trapped. Because this thing was handed to Chen Kai in public by Baron Zaf in the hotel, everyone only regarded it as a small gift for shock, but they didn't know that this thing was actually the fuse that caused their wolf bèi to escape. Especially when Chen Kai thought that he had been poisoned and weakened for two days, he was furious, but now it was impossible for them to trouble Baron Zaf or the Earl, so they could only consider themselves unlucky. …,
"You dry hair! What are you doing? Now that fat man commands more than 100,000 troops in the Redstone Fortress, people can drown you with a mouthful of spittle! Be quiet, let's find a business, pull some goods, and go back to Hansting! Boss, can you lend me some money! I found that the price of cashmere in Camelas is very low, and I can at least triple the money when I pull it to Hansting.
"Get out! When you pull the cashmere to Hansting, the cashmere is rotten, just buy the cashmere blanket! Fei Yun also thought of making money when he heard Zhao Tiezhu's words, although they already had a lot of belongings saved in their backpacks, and they could be exchanged for hundreds of thousands of gold coins when they were transported back to Hansting. But people are greedy, and everyone wants to make a little more, but there is no way to make war money and make money from ordinary trade is really tiring. Cashmere costs three times as much as it does in the Holy City, but you have to pay at least two customs duties along the way, and seven or eight road taxes add up to 20 percent more than the cost. It is impossible to make a lot of money, unless you can transport a large number of goods, but the quantity of goods is low and the price is low, and the acquisition will be hindered by the local Chamber of Commerce in Cameras, so it is impossible for Chen Kai and them to transport goods on a large scale.
"Okay, don't fight! Let's take a look at the form first, try to buy something that can make some money, but in larger quantities! Xiaofei, you and I will contact the mercenary group, and we will hire a mercenary group to go back to Hansting! I don't want to be robbed on the road! Chen Kai ended the quarrel between Fei Yun and Zhao Tiezhu with a huge voice, took out twenty magic crystal coins from his pocket and handed them to the two of them to run to buy goods, and then took Xu Fei to the mercenary guild in Cameras to find a mercenary group for a mission.
