They didn't even notice Midori's arrival.

Anyway, for them, when there were footsteps outside, either the jailer was carrying someone out to whip them, or they were delivering food, and the latter only appeared once every three days, and would never deliver an extra meal, so it was only the jailer who carried the person.

However, this time it wasn't.

Green gripped the golden shield hard, and he aimed the blade at the wooden fence of the cell, and then slashed, split, click, click, sawdust flew sideways, the fence broke, and the prisoners suddenly woke up.

"What's going on? How is ...... You ......" When the awakened prisoners saw Midori, they were first frightened by Midori's sheer size, then stared at his face carefully, and finally, they recognized who he was.

"I'm here to save my son," Midori said, "and I'm going to get you out too." ”

As he spoke, he split the wooden fences of the two cells, which seemed to be strong enough to hold the powerful fat silver carp, fragile like a piece of paper under the golden shield.

"Get us out ......" A neighbor was shocked and said, "How can I save it?" How many people did you bring? ”

"It's too late to say so much! Come out and come with me! Little Green shouted, the voice was loud as if to blow up a hole in the cell, and several prisoners were shocked by him, and without asking anything more, they poured out of the cell one after another.

"Good Samaritan," Suddenly, a voice came from the dark cell next to him, and then some water tribes of different shapes threw themselves on the wooden fence of their cells, stretched out their fins and claws at Midori, and pleaded, "Save us too, we will definitely repay you!" ”

Midori glanced at it hurriedly, and he saw lobsters, carp, and other aquariums, all of them skinny, but their faces were still very vicious, and Midori immediately turned his head away, taking their pleas as a deaf ear.

He knew that these guys were not good birds, they were all real criminals, people who had caused great harm to the Fat Silver Carp clan, and he was only here to save the innocent neighbors who had been wronged, not to liberate the bad guys and let them go out and continue to plague the Fat Silver Carp clan.

Seeing that Xiao Lu was indifferent, soon, the pleading of the criminals turned into swearing, unbearable cursing, and some criminals began to shout loudly, shouting that someone had robbed the prison, and for a while, the originally quiet black prison became very noisy.

"Let's go!" Xiao Lu took the lead in front, and a few fat silver carp that were tortured and out of shape staggered after him, and it could be seen that they had exhausted all their strength to barely keep up with Xiao Lu's footsteps.

Soon, Midori returned to the narrow passageway, which was where the cast iron cell was located, and the real felons were imprisoned, and if they wanted to get out of the black cell, they had to go through this narrow passageway.

However, at this time, more than a dozen guards slowly walked from the opposite side, all of them clad in stubborn and stubborn eyes, staring at Xiao Lu vigilantly, and the look on their faces showed how they were like a great enemy.

suffered, Xiao Lu secretly told himself in her heart that it was still too late, and she was blocked here.

If I hadn't saved those neighbors, I would have escaped from the black prison with my son at this critical juncture, and Xiao Lu couldn't help but think like this.

No, of course I should save them if I had the chance, they are all innocent people, and they should not suffer in vain in this kind of stench and dead place.

"Death to those who stand in my way!" This time, Xiao Lu didn't talk nonsense, he directly held the golden giant shield in his hand, waved it, and rushed towards more than a dozen guards.

He knew that there was only one opportunity in front of him now, and that was to take advantage of the fact that the guards were in a narrow passage and could not set up a formation to besiege him, take the initiative to attack, beat the guards to pieces, and then rush out in one go, otherwise, as long as the guards retreated to the open area and lined up the formation, he would not be able to protect himself or the people behind him with his shield.

As it turned out, he made the right choice, and most importantly, the guards didn't seem to have any intention of retreating to the open area, and in the narrow passageway, two guards held their guns and knives to meet Midori, shouting and killing.

Xiao Lu rushed over, with the experience of fighting with the shield a few times before, this time, he directly turned sideways to the shield and rushed to the front of the two guards, regardless of three seven twenty-one, one fierce, first flew a guard, and the other guard exclaimed, he had already smashed the shield on one side of the wall with his shield, smashed a blur of flesh and blood, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"Follow me!" Midori shouted and motioned for the neighbors to follow him.

Then, he continued to charge forward, the guard who was flying above him hit the body of the person behind him, and coincidentally blocked the attack route of the person behind, and the guard behind cursed for him to get out of the way, at this moment, Xiao Lu rushed up and flew directly against the two guards.

The third guard shouted and slashed at Xiao Lu, but as everyone knows, Xiao Lu left him on purpose, you see that he didn't care, jumped up violently, and the golden shield smashed down again, with a loud bang, the guard's head deflated, and he lay down on the ground.

"Back off, back off!" The guards in the black prison were all elite and immediately realized what was wrong, and two of the guards shouted for their companions to back off.

"Retreat to the open field!" Another guard shouted, "Lay siege to them!" ”

Damn, Xiao Lu secretly cursed in his heart, worthy of being an elite force.

He also knew very well in his heart that as long as he was retreated to a wide area by these guards, his huge shield would not be able to form an effective protection against himself, and the so-called two fists were invincible to four hands, and at that time, he was afraid that he would die under the sword.

So, he rushed forward as fast as he could, "Where to go!" Little Green shouted, the muscles up and down his body were tense, and the hands holding the shield were even more pale, and his heart was nervous, and he pinched it a little too tightly.

At this time, in order to prevent a sneak attack by cold arrows, he hid his entire body, including his head, behind the shield, so that although he would not be attacked by sneak attacks, he could not see the situation in front of him clearly.

But he heard exclamations.

"Defend quickly!"

"Poke him in the foot!"

"Bump him!"

……

The strange screams of the guards came and went, and they were close at hand, coming, Xiao Lu thought to himself, and the next moment, the golden giant shield hit something soft, and after a muffled "bang", some guards screamed.

Midori really wanted to lay down his shield and see how he was doing, but this was not the time to slack off, he told himself, and then charged again.

"Bang ......"

The muffled sounds continued, the screams came and went, the guards screamed, roared, and roared, and it seemed that in an instant, everyone was using their loudest voices, and Midori felt like her ears were going to explode......

The narrow passage was not too long, in fact, it only took a few seconds for Xiao Midori to pass through just now, but now he felt that the passage was extremely long, he kept charging, and kept breaking the bones of the guards blocking the road in front of him, several times he thought that the passage was coming to an end, but there were obstacles in front of him......

The walls suddenly stretched to the sides, and the light in front of them lit up, and the narrow passage finally came to an end, and Xiao Lu looked around, which was already not far from the gate of the black prison.

He lowered his shield and looked ahead.

"Whoosh!"

As soon as he put down his shield, two cold arrows shot at him, but fortunately, he reacted quickly, and with a wave of his arm, the golden giant shield sent the cold arrows flying.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Lu also witnessed his own results, in front, more than a dozen guards fell to the ground, wailing and rolling, some guards vomited blood, and some simply did not move.

There are only two guards in the open field, the two who released the cold arrow just now, and they are looking at Xiao Lu with fear at the moment.

"Don't do it," Midori said, "or I won't spare you, and you'll just don't see these things, okay, let's go." ”

He let a few neighbors walk in front, he held a shield behind the side, at this time, the wisdom that came out of nowhere, let him keep locking on the two guards with his eyes, and did not let down his vigilance for a moment, his neighbors staggered forward, and the two guards did not dare to move at all.

The road from the narrow passage to the black prison gate seems to be longer than the narrow passage, hurry up, Xiao Lu urged in her heart, hurry up.

He couldn't help but pray to the river god that nothing would happen and escape with a group of prisoners who had been tortured to death, knowing that the slightest accident would leave these poor people with no place to bury.

At that point, he would regret saving them.

Fortunately, there was no accident, the two guards were shocked by him and did not dare to move, although the guards on the ground rolled around, crying and shouting, but none of them took the initiative to provoke them, they walked out of the black prison, Xiao Lu quickly closed the door, at that moment, he saw the two guards directly paralyzed, am I really that scary? He asked himself, and he was unimpressed.

Where to go next? Walking on the road, Xiao Lu thought worriedly, escaping from the black prison was only the first step, and it could even be said to be the easiest step, because he only had to face a dozen guards, next? Is he going to run away again? The leader of the new party would not let him go so easily, then he would have to face hundreds or even thousands of guards, and at that time, the golden shield would be of little use.

Hide? This is also a road, however, where to hide? He knew no more about the rockery he lived in than the silver carp, but he knew that others knew the same, and if the leader of the New Party launched a search, he would soon have nowhere to hide.

The last way left is politics.

To be honest, in the more than ten years before today, Little Green never thought that he would have anything to do with politics, however, the reality is in front of him, and the best way to deal with his current crisis is to use political means.

What kind of political means? Taking advantage of the situation, Xiao Green told herself, who is the momentum to borrow? Only His Majesty the Little Crocodile and Lord Old Trout.

There was no doubt that he, as well as the son on his shoulder, and the group of neighbors behind him, were all victims of the Thorn Ball, in other words, the Tyrant Zheng who used the Thorn Ball to make the Sea Spirit Water, and His Majesty the Little Crocodile was going to oppose his father's assurance.

So he can borrow the momentum of His Majesty the little crocodile, completely can.

However, he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, would His Majesty the Little Crocodile and the Old Trout really help him? It stands to reason that this should be the case, however, he has no bottom in his heart.

Because the opponent is too strong, now standing on the opposite side of him is the leader of the new party, the guy who commands hundreds or even thousands of guards of the fat silver carp clan, it is said that His Majesty the little crocodile is ready to make him a great general, there is no doubt that His Majesty, who has just been crowned king, relies on this great general, because he needs the warriors of the fat silver carp clan to work for himself.

If you want to help me out, Your Majesty will have to risk offending the Great General, will Your Majesty really do this? For the sake of a big fat silver carp that is insignificant and has no weight in his speech, to offend the general on whom he depends? The more I thought about it, the more Midori felt that this matter was very unreliable.

However, does he have any other options? No, he only has this way to go, for the sake of today, only by being upright can he give His Majesty the little crocodile the greatest room for operation, if he escapes at this moment, then he will be charged by the leader of the new party at will, saying that he is absconding in fear of crime, in that case, he will never be able to turn over.

"Which way?" A neighbor turned around and asked him, at this time, after what happened just now, in the eyes of these neighbors, he Xiaolu seemed to be already a heavenly man, and he had to ask for his opinion if there was something.

Ahead was an intersection, one leading to the residence of the Fat Silver Carp and the other to the Chief's Palace, now the residence of His Majesty the Little Crocodile.

"Go home," Midori said, "hide, keep hidden, and try not to be discovered." ”

"What about you?" A group of neighbors had no objection, apparently, and that's what they were thinking.

"I'll go this way." Midori stepped on another road, and for a moment, he felt that the road was muddy, muddy. Perhaps, it's still narrow, but for me, it's the only way.

"Where are you going? You're going...... Do? A neighbor asked.

"All the way to the end," said Midori lightly, and at the end of the road was where the head of the New Party worked, which everyone knew, "to you, to my son, to all of us to avenge our grievances." ”

"Are you crazy?" A neighbor said, "Now that the New Party is in charge, they have been wanted by you, and if you dare to go to them, you must ...... Nothing good. ”

He wanted to say that he would definitely be killed, but Midori thought, but he was a little more tactful.

"It's different now, anyway, there's a guy who has become the new boss, and now he's the one who leads the Fat Silver Carp clan," Midori said with a pause, "at least nominally, so if he's just and reasonable, we'll be able to clear our name." ”

"Will he?" A neighbor asked with hope.

Midori thought of the few experiences he had with the little crocodile in common, and then, he nodded, "He will," he said, "I trust him." ”

Hopefully he will.

Little crocodile

The leader of the New Party brought him to inspect his troops.

In the square of the fat silver carp clan, the guards lined up in a row, and they were overwhelmed.

The little crocodile took the old trout, followed by the leader of the new party, and slowly walked towards the square, and the warriors of the fat silver carp clan immediately looked at them.

The guards were dressed in dark gray armor, all of them were fully armed, the weapons in their hands were of different styles, and they were equipped with all kinds of weapons, and the eyes of the guards were fierce and vigilant, even if the leader of the new party had already announced the news of his allegiance to the new king of the Great River Valley, there was still not much awe in their eyes when they looked at the little crocodile, and there was even a trace of ...... Look down on.

I was too small, the little crocodile thought to himself, they think I am deformed, a monster, a stunted waste, so they look down on me, how can I deter them? He thought to himself.

They stopped in the middle of the square, and the little crocodile turned to face the black guards, his eyes scanning the room.

It was still the same, and the little crocodile saw that even with the old trout and the leader of the new party with him, the guards still did not obey him in their eyes.

"Men of the Fat Silver Clan, " The leader of the New Party was the first to speak, "This is our Majesty, the Fat Silver Clan has decided to pledge their allegiance to him, the war is about to begin, and the Lobster Clan will surely take refuge in the unrighteous king who inflicted the tyranny, and we, each of us, must defend the throne of our allegiance to Your Majesty with the sword and our lives, for under his rule our compatriots will not have to roll on the ball of thorns, and when we finish this war, the tyranny will end with the coming of victory, And the beginning of all this is that His Majesty and we are closely united, and we want to support him all around, and then we will be invincible, do you have confidence? ”

No wonder this guy can be the leader of the new party, the little crocodile thought to himself, there are indeed two brushes.

He noticed that when the leader of the new party finished speaking, the eyes of many fat silver carp looked at him changed, no longer vigilant and disdainful, but with a touch of respect.

I have to rely on him, the little crocodile thought to himself, even if the presence of the old trout can deter him, I must rely on him, I must have a general to lead the army, and he is very good, and almost the only option.

Does the father need this? Of course not, as long as the father wears a fine costume, puts on the crown, and stands here, the soldiers below will be respectful and afraid, and the father only needs to say a few words softly, and the soldiers will be excited, and the father does not have to rely on anyone, he himself is the real head of the army.

How old are these soldiers? Seventy? Eighty years old? A hundred years old? A hundred years is too much, my father? Hundreds of years old, from the moment these people were born, they knew that their majesty was called the Ancient Dragon King, and they grew up listening to the legends of their fathers.

I'm too young to deter them, and I have to rely on the guy next to me who is talking, the little crocodile thought a little depressed.

He felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was imprisoned, although the leader of the new party submitted to him, but not long ago the sword and soldier confrontation was still vivid, there was a gap between him and the leader of the new party, and he had to rely on the leader of the new party, if the other party did something that he did not like, what should he do? What should he do if the other party disobeys him? What if the other person is acting in a way that is not in line with his philosophy?

Every problem is a potential threat, and he must be cautious in dealing with these threats, and he must be careful in his words and actions when dealing with the leader of the new party on which he depends.

So tired, thought the little crocodile to himself, at this time, he felt that being the king was more tiring than the battle of life and death, because the pressure on his body was too heavy, and sometimes, when he thought that he would soon meet his father's sword soldiers, and fight on the battlefield, he felt like he was carrying a mountain.

No, what he fears is not battle, nor death, he is not greedy for life and afraid of death, he is afraid of defeat.

He is really carrying too many things, and the deepest passage of Hualong Pass is related to the lives of tens of millions of water tribes, as well as the last wish of his grandfather...... The cost of failure was so great that he could not forgive himself even if he died.

Therefore, for him now, it is necessary to maintain a good relationship with the leader of the new party, and he must win the support of the fat silver carp family.

After the leader of the new party finished speaking, the guards below immediately cheered, they shouted at the little crocodile in the center of the square, Your Majesty, some kept waving the weapons in their hands, as if cheering for the upcoming war, some people shouted "Down with the tyrant", however, some people only waved their hands symbolically, and the little crocodile keenly noticed that there was only indifference in their eyes.

"Let your Majesty feel your morale," exclaimed the leader of the New Party, "this will be the great king who will lead us into a new era!" ”

Will I be a great king? The little crocodile asked himself, maybe, but I have to rely on this fat silver carp next to me......

The old trout turned to look at him.

The little crocodile understood, and then, with a wave of his hand, the square fell silent, and all the fat silver carp looked at him.

I'm going to make a speech, and the little crocodile is telling himself that I'm going to convince these guys with words, and even though the power of words may not be that strong, it's our first communication.

In fact, when he came back, the old trout had already prepared a set of rhetoric for him.

"Be concise," the old trout told him, "be cautious, and don't try to conquer others at the first time, for you may use too much force and cause them to lose their trust in you." ”

The old trout's set of words for him embodied the principles of simplicity and prudence to the extreme, and the little crocodile memorized them completely and memorized them, but at this moment, he suddenly did not want to say those words.

Tell them how much I love them, tell them how much I fight for justice, tell them how evil my father is? No, I don't want that, I can't be cautious, because then the leader of the new party will overshadow him, and then I will have to rely on him more, no, I don't want that.

"Warriors of the tarpon clan, my people," said the little crocodile slowly, "it will not be long before you will face a formidable enemy, my father, and his army, and I can assure you that it will be a bitter battle." ”

His tone was not excited, even a little gloomy, and the emotions of the soldiers could not help but be restrained, and some of them had already looked at each other.

Steady, the little crocodile told himself that he wanted to be promoted first.

"In all fairness," the little crocodile continued, "I'm not familiar with any of you," he paused, and then added, "I don't even know the names of any of you. ”

The guards began to talk to each other, whispering, and the little crocodile could see the expressions on their faces, some of which already had disapproving and resentful expressions on their faces.

I'm making mistakes, and the little crocodile tells himself that he feels his heart pounding.

"Remember," said the old trout, "never take the initiative to distance yourself from anyone, especially your men, even if he is a nobody, you don't know him, and he may die on the battlefield tomorrow and become a pile of dry bones, but you must close the distance between him, and you must make him feel your presence, so that he will die for you." ”

Obviously, what he just said was taking the initiative to distance himself.

"Your Majesty?" He heard the old trout call him softly, in a flat tone, but with some doubts.

He didn't answer, he continued.

"Therefore I am troubled that you should go into battle for me, or that you should lift up my throne with your life and blood."

The voices in the square became noisy, the faces of the soldiers became ugly, and the little crocodile even saw that some of them were mouthing as if they were insulting him.

I'm making mistakes, the little crocodile tells himself, step by step into the abyss, but I can't stop, I can't turn back.

"But I have no choice," he continued, "because you, all of you, and me, the old trout by my side, and your chief, are the last hope of the Great River Valley. ”

The noise subsided, and some of the soldiers made silencing gestures, as if they wanted to listen carefully.

"I'm by no means alarmist," the little crocodile continued, "and the Thorn Ball will not only hurt the Aqua, but it will also make the Aqua lose its life power, in other words, the Thorn Ball will make the Aquarium shorter lifespan." ”

The soldiers looked at each other again, and their voices became noisy again.

"Don't believe my father's statement, he is a king who is desperate for his own desires, no, he is not a true king, the true king makes his people hold up his crown, and he will return the favor and shepherding of his people."

There was cheering in the square, and some soldiers began to wave their weapons again.

"Thorn Ball will damage the life of the water tribe, make us short-lived, and will also affect our fertility, once the plan to make the sea spirit water is implemented, in the next two or three generations, many of our bloodlines will wither, the great river will become a stagnant water, the strong in the sky and land will invade, snatch away our only remaining weak offspring, humiliate, enslave, abuse, that is the possible future."

The voices in the square grew loud, and many soldiers shook their fists vigorously, shouting for the stabbing ball to get out.

"Fortunately, at this critical moment in history," the little crocodile's tone suddenly changed and became agitated, "There is a group of people who have stepped forward," His gaze slowly swept over everyone, as long as the faces of the soldiers he saw turned red, "They are willing to fight for the blood of their ancestors, they are willing to fight for future generations, they are willing to fight for the future of the Great River Basin!" They may bleed, they may sacrifice! But will they be afraid? ”

"No!" The guards screamed.

"Kill them!" The guards were waving their fists and weapons all over the sky.

"Fight for His Majesty the Little Crocodile!" Some of the soldiers began to shout his name.

"Our opponent is indeed strong," the little crocodile repeated in the midst of the noise, "I have indeed just met you, but I choose to believe you." I believe in you, neither because I chose you, nor because you chose me, but because history chose us! The fate of the Great River Basin is in the hands of our group, and no matter how strong our opponents are, we must defeat them! And I," he glanced at everyone again, then raised his short front paws into the air, "I'll lead the charge!" ”

The soldiers' shouts turned into roars, and the five words "Your Majesty the little crocodile" soared loudly into the sky, and for a moment, the little crocodile felt that the entire rockery was echoing its name.

I did, the little crocodile told himself.

Then he turned and walked along the route that had been laid out for his temporary stay, with the old trout and the leader of the new party following him, and no one said a word all the way.

The place where he temporarily lived was the residence of the leader of the fat silver carp clan, and the leader of the new party made people vacate the room non-stop, this is a wide room, the bed is incredible, the little crocodile thinks of the previous fat silver carp leader, that guy is five meters long, like a small building, and he really needs such a big room, such a big bed.

The leader of the new party was busy with many things to deal with, and only the little crocodile and the old trout were left in the room.

"Your Majesty," after confirming that there was no one around, the old trout finally spoke, "The old man is really stunned, alas, the old man's heart is no longer good, and he can't stand His Majesty's fright." ”

"What do you mean by Old Trout?" The little crocodile asked, feigning surprise.

"Ha, Your Majesty is a natural king," said the old trout, "and there is no need for the old man's things, but the old man is so worried that he still wants to teach His Majesty how to speak, alas." ”

"It doesn't have to be like this," the little crocodile hurriedly said, "I will have to rely on adults more in the future, I just ......"

"Your Majesty does not want to be held back by the leader of the new party," said the old trout, "yes and no? ”

The little crocodile nodded.

"Sometimes, the reality is so heavy that even the smartest people have to bow their heads," the old trout suddenly sighed, "As Your Majesty said, our opponent is so strong, and our actions are so hasty, we must rely on this guy, this is a reality that no one can change, however, Your Majesty has done a good job today, and it can be regarded as establishing a recognition in the hearts of the soldiers, the old man believes that once the battle starts, His Majesty will really move forward bravely, fearlessly rush and kill, and then act justly and reasonably, Then we will definitely be able to convince these soldiers, and at that time, we will not have to worry about being held back by the leaders of the new party, and once the war is won, Your Majesty will enter the Hualong Pass and open the formation to save the people of the Great River Valley from fire and water. ”

The little crocodile nodded slightly, and he couldn't help but feel excited when he thought of that scene.

"Provided," went on to say the old trout, "that the silver carp must be appeased, and only if they go to war will we be entitled to wrestle with your father." ”

The little crocodile nodded, and he thought of the scene in the square just now, and everything was like a dream.

Suddenly, a guard came in from outside.

"Your Majesty," the guard stumbled in, and then, in a panicked manner, "the one you brought...... Big guy, here! ”

"It's coming," said the little crocodile a little suspiciously, "what are you making all this fuss about?" ”

The big fat silver carp went to pick up his son, and the little crocodile thought to himself, at this time, the father and son should be reunited, what are you doing here?

"He ......" The guard stammered, "He's covered in blood, and he's ......."

Covered in blood? The little crocodile was a little shocked, what's going on? Big fat silver carp and people fighting? Hung the lottery?

"Let him in," the little crocodile decided to ask, "hurry up." ”

The guard nodded, then hurriedly turned around and ran out, just then, a loud shout from a large fat silver carp outside, "Get out of the way!" Little Green's voice was loud, followed by dull footsteps, and the little crocodile couldn't help frowning.

As soon as the guard walked to the door, Midori had already broken in, and just happened to collide with the guard, poor where was the guard's opponent? At that time, he was hit and took several steps back, and sat there with his ass.

Little Green rushed in and saw the little crocodile, but he leaned over, knelt down on one knee, and saluted the king with respect, "Your Majesty," said the big fat silver carp, "please call the shots for the little people." ”

The little crocodile saw clearly, the big fat silver carp was covered in blood, there was a wound under the left side of the rib, the blood had already congealed, a small fat silver carp sat on his shoulder, and he held a huge golden shield on his right hand, which was incredibly big, and could cover most of the big fat silver carp's body.

The little crocodile looked at the golden giant shield and suddenly felt a little familiar, why?

"What's going on?" The old trout asked, but the little crocodile did not speak, as a king, he always had to be quiet and could not express easily.

"I killed the two guards who took me to the Black Cell," the big tarpon said in surprise, "and killed a dozen more guards of the Black Cell." ”

The little crocodile "soared" from the chair.

"What did you do?" The little crocodile walked up to Xiao Lu and asked with an incredulous face, "Killed a dozen guards, why?" You are crazy? ”

"They want to kill me," said Midori, and then he looked around, "or rather, the leader of the New Party wanted to kill me, and he pretended to release my son, and sent someone to take me to the black cell, and when he arrived, the guards he sent tricked me into a cell fenced with pig iron bars, and while I was not paying attention to my son, the two guards locked the door of the cell from the outside. ”

At this, the big fat silver carp paused, and he carefully examined the expression on the little crocodile's face, as if he wanted to see something in it.

"And then?" The little crocodile finally spoke, and he asked, glancing at the little fat silver carp on the little green shoulder, "And then what happened?" Are they just trying to lock you up, or what? ”

"Then they took out their bows and arrows," Midori said coldly, "and they wanted to kill us." ”

Silence, death-like silence, after the big fat silver carp finished speaking, no one spoke, the little crocodile bit his lip, and the old trout shook his head slightly.

"And then?" Finally, the little crocodile asked in a trembling voice.

"And I took this," the big fat silver carp grinned, and his smile was very cold, and at the same time, he weighed the golden shield in his hand, and showed it to the little crocodile and the old trout, "This thing is not something that feather arrows can shoot, and it is very sharp, I took this thing, blocked the arrows they shot, and then broke the iron bars that surrounded the fence, and rushed out." ”

"And then you killed them," said the old trout, "is that so?" ”

"Am I doing something wrong?" "Maybe I should spare them and let them bring someone to kill us." ”

There was a dead silence again, and the old trout didn't say anything, but his eyes became very blank.

Little crocodile, at this time, he felt like he was facing an abyss, the abyss was covered with ice, very thin, he walked on it, step by step, carefully, the slightest carelessness, the thin ice would break.

"Tell me," said the old trout again, his throat a little dry, or perhaps his restlessness, or in short, his voice was a little bitter, "and then what happened?" How did you kill a dozen other guards, our brave and invincible big man? ”

"I'd love to tell you, my lord," Midori said, "because they heard the movement, and they came running against me." ”

"Until then," the old trout said in a deep voice, "you can run away." ”

"But I don't want to run away," said Midori coldly, "because they have mistreated my son, my lord, Your Majesty, please see how this poor child has suffered." ”

With this, he lowered his son from his shoulder, "Oh, I forgot," said the big fat silver carp, "he has not seen His Majesty yet, come, son, meet this Majesty, King of the Great Valley." ”

The little crocodile's eyes were sharp, and with a sweep, he had already seen the wounds all over the child's body, criss-crossing whip marks, bruises and purple blood stasis, and some burn marks, damn it, the little crocodile thought to himself, how old is this child?
