...... Smooth passage through Ledica, thanks to the star gods......
...... Looking at Moore in the distance, I breathed a sigh of relief, this time of the journey was really uncomfortable, but after walking through a city, I was one step closer to leaving this land, hating war. ......
...... I couldn't walk to Mishura before the arrival of winter, so I could only stop on the road, it was not easy to find food in this winter, and I was a little unwell, I was afraid that I was going to get sick again, maybe it was because I was frightened a few days ago, and the star god blessed me not to get sick......
...... I was sick for a winter, I didn't keep a diary for a winter, and now I can't write anymore.
I remember the last New Year's Day when I was in Huanai, when the fireworks in the sky were so dazzling, and I blamed their brightness for disturbing my sleep, but now I miss those brilliant fireworks, the warm color, not like now, only silver-white ice and snow accompany me.
The peasants here are also miserable, the war has crushed them, but God knows when the war will end, may I never experience war again. ......
Chapter 14: Fantastic Experience
While passing through Mishura, we accidentally walked into the encirclement of Ami's army, where they were preparing to ambush the bandits, and as a result, they used us as an outpost of the bandits and launched an attack on us, which turned out to be a false alarm. After an in-depth friendly exchange between the two leaders of the caravan and them, they made a friendly decision to let us go and prepare to withdraw our troops.
However, just as they were retreating, the real rebels charged at them, and the scene was immediately chaotic, and after the confusion, I unfortunately became a prisoner of the rebels and left the caravan.
Now this part of the notes is retold by me from memory after I returned, and I ask for your understanding if there is any difference between it and my real experience.
First of all, although it may be hard for you to believe what happened next, I swear to the gods of the stars in honor of the Stimpep family, this is the true story of what I have experienced, and it is the most coincidental thing that has happened to me in my entire trip, and even I think about it now and it feels unbelievable.
[By the way, how Ma Weiji got separated. In fact, Dante, who was too arrogant, wore a fancy armor and rode a tall horse to make a gesture of seven or eight people, and was ambushed by the Yami official army as the vanguard of the bandits, but was exchanged by Dante and Mei Yi with their fists, and then softened. 】
[Just when the Yami official army was in chaos, the real bandits happened to pass by, and then took advantage of the chaos to rush in, rushing the officials and soldiers to a sparse uproar, and after harvesting the heads, they retreated with the captives, including Ma Weiji. 】
[During the whole process, Leng Yi leaned forward and leaned back, and by the way, Mei Yi was banned, so that she could not use extraordinary strength, so Mei Yi could only helplessly watch Ma Weiji being taken away. 】
I was taken by the bandits to their lair, where I ate a cell for several months. Because I was, after all, a nobleman in Goshogues, and nobles stood out from the crowd wherever they went, and the bandits quickly recognized me as a nobleman.
They felt that they had found a treasure, so they didn't abuse me too much. At first, they desperately wanted to find out which nobleman I am, probably to get the ransom, God can see mercy, how do I know what nobleman Ami is!
However, in order to vent my anger in the anger of the bandits, I wittily made up a story, which seemed to suddenly appear in my mind, and it should be blessed by the star gods.
I said that I was the illegitimate child of a noble nobleman, and that I had been raised in a luxurious house and received a decent education, so that I could have decent clothes and elegant manners.
But the nobleman never told me who he was, so I don't know what the title of honor this nobleman had, and of course, if he had come before me in person, I would have recognized him—if only you bandits had invited him to me.
As to why I am in this army, for a few days ago one of my faithful servants suddenly told me that he had been ordered by my father to leave the house at once, because there was a great man who was going to work against me, and it was not convenient for him to come forward.
So under the arrangement of this servant, I was temporarily in the army, and I met you in a few days. That's my answer to the bandits.
After listening to my story, the bandits began to quarrel, mainly arguing about whether my words were correct or not, some thought it was right, and some did not believe it.
The person who ended the quarrel was a small leader who looked like a tootheater, and he said that he remembered a person who was a suitable person, that nobleman was a side branch of a family, married to a woman who could not bear children in the main branch, and I must be his illegitimate son outside, and the big man who wanted to harm me must be the jealous wife of the nobleman, so it was inconvenient for my "father" to come forward to protect me.
Then they perfected the story I made up, and added many details that I didn't expect, which made me stunned, and I couldn't help nodding.
Finally, when I had finally fabricated my identity perfectly, they were finally satisfied, and decided to send an emissary to demand a ransom from the hapless nobleman.
At the time of the letter, I was once again in danger, because they asked me to sign my name, and God could see mercy, how could I know how to write my name in Ami?
Thanks to the blessing of the star gods, the unlearned bandits did not notice the name of the city written on the paper, and they happily took the letter and went to the nobleman who had suffered an unjustified disaster to ask for a ransom.
As their big fat sheep, I was treated very kindly until their messengers returned, and I did not have to worry about food and clothing, but unfortunately I spent every day in fear, after all, once this letter was delivered to the nobles, all my lies would be exposed.
I was more afraid than they were of the first messengers that they had not disappeared, but they were very open-minded, and felt that it was a common thing for the messengers to be planted in the middle of the year, so they sent a second group of messengers.
A few months later, in the midst of their drumming, I heard voices like "the other party finally sent someone", and I was immediately frightened.
The second messenger came to my cell, and spoke to me with a bad face, and in an instant my heart rose to my throat, and I almost felt the urge to attack him. Eventually, though, I managed to keep my composure and walked out with him slowly.
After all, this person just had a bad expression, not a bad mouth, and I still had a trace of luck in my heart. On the way forward, I did not listen to the blessing of the star god, although I knew that the other party had already come, and my lie would be exposed after all, what would be the end of me at that time?
When I arrived at the lobby of the bandits, I saw an old man, whom I did not know at all, and at first I could only say hello in embarrassment, but the old man glanced at me like a poisonous snake from top to bottom, and finally muttered not "This is an impostor" but "It looks like a nobleman with a decent education." ”
What is going on? At this time, I look calm on the surface, but in fact I am screaming frantically inside, I may live! I may live!
Then the old man asked me some more questions, such as where I used to live.
Since the star god has sheltered me all the way here, he should continue to shelter me, right?
When I answered the question, the old man always had a cold expression on his face, which made me wonder if I had answered incorrectly or something, but the old man didn't say anything more than the question, which made me unable to judge.
When the old man's last question was finished, he ignored me, turned his head and left, but the bandits smiled with him and asked the old man to go out.
As soon as the old man came out of the lobby, the bandit leader's face changed, and he rushed towards me with an angry face, like an angry lion, at this time I thought that I would die with dignity, so I asked the bandit leader with my chest up, saying that you want to kill or chop whatever you want, and then the bandit swung his fist - smashed on the person next to me, that is, the second batch of messengers.
"* Your grandmother! Lao Tzu asked you to send him a blackmail letter, how did you send it to his wife!"
"The boss can't help it, he was called to the front line to fight with Yayocto, it's his wife who is at home, and the lame man (the first messenger) was deliberately detained by her, and then waited for me to throw himself into the net!
In an instant, my whole body relaxed, and I knew that I could live a little longer
It turned out that the old man was not the messenger of the nobles, but the messenger of the noble lady. The old man didn't know me at all, and the reason why he came here was only to judge whether I was a decent nobleman, not a fat sheep who had been found by bandits, and the poor nobleman had endured the disaster for me.
But then I became vigilant again, even if I got lucky the second time, what will I do next time? I am about to see the noble lady, and what will I do next time? If this lie continues, I can only make up for it endlessly, and the only thing I can do is to pray for the protection of the star gods.
After a few days, the nobleman's wife collected enough ransom money to deliver me, but asked the kidnappers to send me to their house. In this regard, the leader of the kidnappers who looked like a tooth-eater said very clearly, "The noble lady is planning to use me as a pawn to attack the nobles."
So with a sad face, I was placed among the servants of the noble lady, and I was going to be sent to the mansion by the noble lady and become a tool for him to teach her husband a lesson, this kind of future I dare not imagine.
In the middle of the way, a group of "robbers" suddenly appeared, and they attacked the servants who escorted me, and in the midst of the chaos, I was sent to the horse by a "robber", and the robber said to me, "Little young master, go quickly, as long as you are not caught by the lady, the master will take care of the rest." ”
The suspicion of the aristocratic lady of the nobility is really not groundless!
I rode away at a gallop, and halfway through the ride I was overtaken again by the nobleman's lady's servant, who did not dare to send his right-hand man against his domineering lady, so it was already the limit to do so.
Just as I was screaming that I was about to fall into the jaws of the tiger, the leader of the caravan reappeared, repelled the noblelady's pursuers, and I finally returned to the caravan. Star God Blessing, really Star God Blessing!
