The crowd clamored for Lyanna to be taken back, and the giant man triumphantly watched Rhaegar and Sir Geralt Hightower and Sir Oswell Ha'an beside him (shēn). He raised his eyebrows, as if to say, "Look, there are only three of you, see what you are capable of against me!" Why don't you hand over the little girl obediently? ”

"Good sister, look at this little white face that fascinates you!" The giant man sneered, then turned (shēn) at Rhaegar and said to the crowd, "Folks, it's this little white face who coaxed my sister with sweet words!" She was coaxed by him to not even want home! Folks, kill this (yòu) kidnapping woman's little white face and save my sister from his clutches! ”

The crowd roared towards Rhaegar and the two guards behind him (shēn) and Lyanna, who was in the middle of them, the giant man was so cunning that he did not rush up himself, but instigated the ignorant civilians to run to their deaths, just to put Rhaegar and them in a desperate situation.

Killing civilians? Do you have what it takes? Besides, if you kill, you will be a murderer, and the Town Watch will not let you go! Don't kill? You have to watch the people of your heart (ài) being taken captive by a group of foolish people who are unwittingly acting for the tiger!

"None of you want to get close to Lyanna! Over my dead body! Come, if you have the guts! "Rhaegar has made a decision that he will use his life to protect his (ài) people.

There are actually reasons for the bias of the crowd, on the one hand, preconceived opinions, and on the other hand, jealousy of Rhaegar and Lyanna, which is a very easy to breed (qíng) thread, and anyone, more or less, will have a little bit in their hearts.

Maybe not much, not even even aware of themselves, but this jealousy affected their subconscious, and the ugly giant seemed more real and more like a normal person than Rhaegar and Lyanna, who were like golden boys and girls.

When there is no factual basis, people are more inclined to choose the outcome they like, and a bloody elopement drama (qíng) is clearly more appealing than the fairytale finale of Rhaegar and Lyanna. Or from the bottom of their hearts, people love lace news and gossip more than a serious news hookup.

The crowd began to pour into the four of them like a tidal wave, and it was ridiculous that they were shouting loud slogans, thinking that they were doing the right thing, but in fact they were aiding the abuse, and the faces of the despicable villains hiding in the crowd were full of pride.

Although the three of them are all first-class warriors, there is a good saying: "A good tiger is afraid of wolves!" No matter how powerful they are, they will have a day when they are tired, not to mention killing innocent people? Besides, if you kill someone, you're a wanted criminal! Even if they killed these civilians, how much strength would they have to deal with the giant man and his accomplices?

At this moment, Rhaegar had already decided to go on a killing spree, but suddenly noticed a group of guards approaching. The chaos in the center of the market apparently caught their attention.

"What are you doing?" The leader of the guards asked, as defenders of law and order, they played a role similar to that of modern police.

Lyanna's eyes lit up with joy at the sight of the guards, who were upright, brave, and reliable, who might not be knights, but who were more chivalrous than knights.

"Captain! We need help! My husband and I went shopping, but I was pestered by this thug who called me 'Stacy', called me his sister, and slandered me and my husband for eloping! Lyanna Pear Blossom complained to the captain of the guard about the crime of the giant man, which really made the listener cry and the listener sad.

When the leader of the guard heard Lyanna call him "Captain" (captain, captain, captain, captain, an honorific title for a mid-ranking officer, such as Captain America, this is the word), he immediately felt that he had a good face, and Lyanna looked pitiful, which greatly aroused his protection (yù). Unlike the crowd, the captain of the guard immediately sided with Lyanna.

"You don't pee either, look what you look like! You escaped a toad, how could you have such a beautiful sister as a swan as this young lady? The captain of the guard stepped forward and pointed at the giant man and mocked.

"Look at this sir, with his long silver hair, his impeccably smooth, perfect countenance, and purple eyes, and such a person may be a relative of this young lady! Besides, look how close this young lady and this lord are! The captain of the guard gestured to Lyanna, who was holding Rhaegar by the waist.

"Captain, it's better to listen to what the other side has to say before deciding!" A voice came from the crowd, needless to say, it must be the giant's accomplice again.

The captain glanced at Lyanna in embarrassment, and in the face of the pressure of the crowd, he had to listen to the giant man's tearful description of the "process".

"They're just a couple of little (qíng) people who eloped! Captain, you need to find out the truth about things (qíng)! The crowd began to yell at the captain.

Seeing that the consensus of the people was going to disagree, the captain looked struggling, as far as he was concerned, he wanted to help Rhaegar and Lyanna. Without him, he had seen more people than ordinary people, and ordinary people could know what kind of person this person was at a glance, this was the experience he had accumulated over the years of maintaining his work, and he could see at a glance that Lyanna was sincere and innocent, and that giant man was obviously not a good person.

Seeing that the captain of the guard hesitated, the giant man came to his ear and whispered something, and then imperceptibly stuffed a heavy small pocket into the guard captain's arms.

The captain of the guard sighed, and with a gloomy expression, he took one last look in Lyanna's direction before planning to turn (shēn) away. He didn't dare look Lyanna in the eye because he didn't want to see her disappointed look.

"May God bless you, poor girl! I can't help you anymore! The captain of the guard thought to himself with shame that he had not abandoned his principles for the sake of the sack of gold. Instead, the giant man gave him a condition that he couldn't refuse:

"The new lord of Sweet Springs, Sir Anton O'Neill, is my friend, he is a popular man in front of the Earl, and even Baron Albrecht would not dare to snub him! If you dare to help them, won't it be easy for Sir O'Neill to clean up your little guard leader? You'd better think clearly, it's to get out of here with this bag of gold! Or put your life and errands on the line! ”

This multiple-choice question is easy to do, at least for the captain of the guard. He has experienced too many arrogant and reckless things (qíng) of the aristocracy, and he is a little person who has fallen into it, and it is always himself who is unlucky! So he made a choice that went against his conscience.

Seeing that the captain of the guard, who had been regarded as hope, was about to leave, Lyanna immediately became anxious and cried, "Captain, aren't you a defender of justice and fairness?" Aren't you an umbrella for the elderly, the weak, the women and the children? In my eyes, the only difference between a guard and a knight is that they are not awarded, they are unsung heroes, but they are even more chivalrous than knights! ”

Hearing Lyanna's words, the captain hesitated, and even the two guards behind him (shēn) hesitated, tears glistening from the corners of their eyes. The captain remembered his youthful rhetoric, how honored it was to be a guardian, and how proud he was to be a guard, and his oath rang in his ears. But in a blink of an eye, he became a twilight old man who was bent by reality.

"How many compromises I've made! How many innocent people have pinned their hopes on mine (shēn) in the hope that I will bring them fairness and justice! But I let them down! I gave in and abandoned my principles, and what was left of me? A walking corpse tainted by money (ròu)? I have tarnished my oath and my honor as a guard! ”

The screams of despair and the distorted faces of the once innocent resurfaced in front of the captain's eyes, and tears glistened in the captain's cloudy eyes.

He seemed to feel that the strength of his youth had returned to this decaying **, and he cheered up, trying to redeem his mistakes and give himself salvation, so that he could no longer be tormented by the nightmares of the night.

"Let me do the right thing (qíng) once! I don't want my people to end up! Even if the price is powder (shēn) broken bones, I am willing (qíng) willing! He strived to straighten his waist and encouraged himself in his heart.

However, when he turned his head slightly and saw the agitated crowd (qíng), his momentum weakened again, and he still chose to give in to reality, and the impulse just now only lasted for a short time.

"I've been impulsive, I've been persistent, but what have I gained? What can I gain? Letters of intimidation, panicked family members, and bruises all over my body, that's what I got! ”

The captain of the guard sighed with a sad expression, "Those I helped disappeared after I helped them!" I can't even get a 'thank you'! And I, a fool, stay here and face the wrath of those people! Now that I am nearly fifty years old, I have found a little captain, with the garrison commander on top and a bunch of hairy young men below, always waiting to replace me, like rats in bellows—angry at both ends! ”

"The way of the world is that big fish eat small fish, small fish eat dried shrimp, the nobles are the sky, as long as they have a relationship with them, they are so black that they can be said to be white, and white can be smeared as black! Poor girl, I can't help you, I really can't help you! The captain of the guard finally turned his head resolutely.

Suddenly, Rhaeggar's voice rang out behind the captain of the guard (shēn), "We are the honored guests of Count Segard of Paderborn!" Hearing this, the captain of the guard stopped. Rhaegar was far more witty than Lyanna, and thought of a way to move out of Han Xing's mountain.

He turned his head and asked suspiciously, "Really?" "The reason why he didn't dare to get involved in this matter was because the other party's backer was a knight, a noble nobleman, and he couldn't afford to mess with it! But if Rhaegar and they also have backers, and they are stronger than each other, then it is two different things!

"Why should I lie to you? We can follow you to the Tower of Guards, and wait for Count Segard's men to come!" As long as the Count of Segaard is found, the truth will naturally be revealed! ”
