According to Zhang Tie's instructions, the car in which the three people were sitting did not drive over, but turned off the lights and stopped, Zhang Tie stayed behind to protect Olena, and Kita walked towards the castle alone.
Soon, Kita came to the drawbridge below the castle.
The drawbridge was closed, and a moat more than 20 meters wide protected the castle, and that moat was also the last warning to trespassers, in the castle's defense system, anyone who crossed the moat without permission would have the right to attack, because you had crossed the castle's defenses and entered someone else's private territory.
Kita, who came to the edge of the moat, looked up at the several steam ballistae on the high city wall on the other side of the river, and his heart was slightly cold, although it was late at night, but the lights on the city wall could still let Kita see clearly the muzzles of the steam ballistae shining with a cold light, and they were intentionally or unintentionally facing the drawbridge under the castle. And even the cannon jacket of a honeycomb ballista with a scattering strike that is not usually used much has been lifted, and the angle of the muzzle, slightly drooping, is also facing the castle.
In Kita's memory, on weekdays, the muzzles of those steam ballistas were flat, and today, under Zhang Tie's reminder, he carefully observed these details that he didn't care much about on weekdays, and sure enough, he felt the murderous aura on the castle floor.
"I'm Kita, Lady Olena's chief guard, lower the drawbridge!" Kita, who took a deep breath, stood on the edge of the moat and screamed at the castle with all her strength. In the old days, as soon as the people on the castle saw Lady Olena's convoy coming, the drawbridge would be lowered automatically.
In the same way, Kita shouted twice below, and at first there was no movement above the castle, and after an interval of more than ten seconds, a somewhat arrogant and lazy voice sounded above the castle tower.
"Who's screaming down there, this is La Merca, irrelevant people get out of here, or you'll be unwelcome!"
This voice Kita was unfamiliar with, and even as Lady Olenna's chief guard, Kita could not have known the voices of everyone in the castle's merchant guards. But as soon as this voice spoke, Kita knew that there was really a cat on the castle tower, he was so loud, many people on the castle tower should have heard it, according to common sense, the response should be a captain of the guard on duty on the castle tonight, those captains of the guard are very familiar with themselves, they should also be familiar with their own voice, how could they run out of a small role to let themselves go away?
"Perryf, Kerry, Alexander, Kioka, Adilina, who are you up there tonight, answer me!" Kita shouted angrily from below, "You bastards, who is up there, can't you even hear my voice when you come out to speak?" ”
"Get out of here, call here again, we're going to shoot arrows!" The same voice appeared just now, but this time, the voice was obviously much harsher, with a feeling of lust and guilt.
"I'm Kita, Lady Olena's chief of guard, many of the brothers in the castle should know me, who dares to shoot me here, and Madame will not skin him when she comes back? Perif, Kerry, Alexander, Kioka, Adilina, who is on top, come out and talk to me! ”
Kita continued to shout loudly below the castle, and there was already some commotion above the castle walls and towers.
Finally, a familiar voice from Kita appeared above.
"Who's down there?"
"Kerry, I'm Kita, put down the drawbridge!"
"Kita, aren't you with Madame, why are you alone now, Madam?"
"Madame is in a safe place, someone wants to be bad for Madame, she asked me to come back first, let you bring the guards in the castle to pick her up!"
Hearing Kita's words, on the tower of the castle, the face of a man in his forties with a beautiful mustache and a slightly blue face changed, and several of his cronies and guards stood beside him, all of them looking at him at a loss.
The current situation was completely unexpected by everyone, and their arrangement was suddenly wasted.
The man in his forties gritted his teeth and shouted outside, "The rules of La Merburg, after dark, you are not allowed to open the city gate without Madame's order to let people in, and the mobilization of the troops in the castle requires Madame's personal order, Kita, what you said is your one-sided words, I didn't see Madame's order, even if we are very familiar, I can't break the rules in the castle for you, unless I see Madame coming in person, I won't open the city gate for you, let alone let you transfer the troops in the castle!" ”
"Perif, you bastard, if you don't come out quickly, the more than two hundred gold coins you owe Lao Tzu, tomorrow Lao Tzu will ask you to pay it back, and Alexander, Madame is in need of manpower now, are you still sleeping hard, Ji Gang, you miscellaneous man, in addition to molesting women, can you *** be used for a while, Adilina, if you don't come out again, Lao Tzu will be a widow after hanging you!"
The sound of Kita outside the castle grew louder and louder, ignoring Kerry, but below, across a moat, shouting the names of several other captains of the guards in the castle, shouting and swearing.
The faces of several people in the tower were completely unsightly.
"Captain Kerry, do you want to shut him up, at this time, just pull the trigger......" One of the guards beside Kerry quietly took a step closer and whispered.
"Shut up, do you want me to bury him?" Kerry scolded in a low voice, but he was also a little entangled in his heart, he didn't know what the situation was outside, if he killed Kita in this situation, once a woman had nothing to do, when the day dawned, it would be himself who should lose his head, and Kita could come back at this moment, that woman might really be in a safe place as he said, so his insistence here would be meaningless. But if he was allowed to shout from below, and take the guards of the castle out to support the woman, in doing so, there might be some unexpected variables, and it was not what he wanted to see, and the promises made to him by those people would be completely unkept.
When Kerry was struggling, it was only a moment before several other captains of the castle's guards had climbed the castle walls, and the sound of Kita shouting below had reached the castle and been heard by many people.
"Kerry, what's going on?" With a thick brown head and beard, Periff was the first to storm the tower, "Why is Kita yelling outside, why don't you let him in!" ”
Kerry forced a smile, "According to the rules in the castle, no one is allowed to enter or leave Blue Castle at will after nightfall without the order of the lady, so ......"
Perif ignored Kerry, instead was on the tower and yelled at the bottom, "Kita, you bastard, ma'am, why are you alone?" ”
As soon as Kita, who was shouting by the moat, heard this voice, she immediately knew that her yelling had finally worked, and that Peter was right, that those people could not buy everyone in the castle.
"Perryf, Madame is in danger when she comes back tonight, and someone wants to disadvantage Madame, Madame asked me to come to La Mer Castle to bring a guard to meet her!" Kita cried out in a louder voice.
It was not only Perif who heard Kita's words, but Alexander, Kioka and Adilina, who had just heard the movement and rushed to the castle tower.
Alexander was in his fifties, the eldest of several people, a little chubby, with a bare head, more like a profiteer than a captain of the guard, Kioka was a young man in his twenties, with a golden head, but with a smooth and smooth type, handsome, a bit of a playboy temperament, with a long sword hanging from her waist, Adlina was a woman, with a strange tattoo like a flame on the left corner of her eye and eyebrows, a fiery red head, and a sac on her back, A woman of barbarian blood.
It only took a few seconds for the captains of the guards who rushed over to know what was going on. Kerry was explaining to several people why he didn't lower the drawbridge and let Kita in.
Alexander squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at Kerry, "What Kerry said makes sense, but Madame also said that if she is not in the castle, if she encounters a sudden incident, it can be decided by the five of us together, and tonight's incident is a sudden incident, and we will vote on it!" ”
"I agree to go out of the city and lead the castle guards to pick up Madame!" Perif was the first to speak up.
"I agree!" Adilina, who has barbarian blood, also opened her mouth without hesitation.
"Agreed!" Ji Gang smiled, "I have long hoped that Madame would give me the opportunity to save the beauty of the hero!" ”
"I agree!" Alexander also made a statement.
Only Kerry was left of the five, and Kerry only hesitated for a moment before he saw Perryf's hand close to the hilt of his sword, and Adilina's eyebrows raised dangerously.
"Since everyone agrees, then I agree too!" Kerry said hurriedly.
……
Kita only waited by the river for a while, then saw the drawbridge lowered, the main gate of the castle opened, Perif and other five castle captains rushed out of the castle with a large number of castle guards, with torches, and among those guards, many of them were actually led by Adrina in light armor.
"Kita, what about Madame, how is she now?" Perryff, who rushed over, was the first to speak.
"Madame is fine now, in a safe place, Adilina, Madame has let your men take over the defense of the gate tower of the castle outer fortress from now on!"
"Yes!" Adilina didn't question the message delivered by Kita, she just glared at Kita fiercely, "What nonsense did you just say down there, I'll settle accounts with you later!" ”
Adlina said a few words to the female warriors behind her, all the female warriors returned to the castle, and quickly took over the defense of the gate tower of the castle outside the castle, the order passed by Kita surprised everyone slightly, and Alexander glanced at Kerry meaningfully, at this moment, Kerry was already speechless, his face was already ugly, and he was even a little frightened.
"Do you need to send a convoy?" Kioka asked.
"No, come with me!" Kita glanced at Kerry, a cold light flashed in her eyes, and said lightly, "Kerry will come along!" ”
Kerry smiled a little unnaturally, and leaned in front of Kita with a slight humility, "I was just enforcing the rules of the Blue Castle, I hope you don't be surprised!" ”
Kita ignored him, turned and left, everyone with torches and hurriedly followed......
……
Olena wore a fox fur cloak, and Zhang Tie was waiting under a pine tree on the side of the road, and when he saw the fish in the castle with a torch lined up and approached the location of the two people, Zhang Tie knew that this time, he won the bet, and in the face of this situation, he would rather let others laugh at him for being too much in the end, rather than risk his own life to gamble on the character of those he didn't know.
Zhang Tie felt that the woman beside him breathed a sigh of relief.
"What will you do if Kita doesn't come back?" Seeing that the flickering fire was about to approach the location of the two people, Olina, who had been staring at the distance, suddenly asked Zhang Tie, "You know, that kind of may be a zài, they may not be able to buy all the people loyal to me in the castle, but they only need a small conspiracy and a bottle of poison, and it is also possible that there will be no more people loyal to me in the castle, at that time, I will really be isolated, and your situation will be even more dangerous, I want to know, will you leave me alone at that time?" ”
This question made Zhang Tie stunned for a moment, Zhang Tie rubbed his face, and was about to speak, when Olena, who was looking at him very seriously at this time, added, "I want to hear the truth!" ”
"Honestly?" Zhang Tie was silent for a while, no matter when, even if it was in bed, when a woman asked him to tell the truth, he would not tell lies, and not deceive women, it was his principle of life, "In that case, if you really can't fight against those who want to calculate you, I will run away with you, and it's a big deal to leave St. Hena Island!" ”
Zhang Tie's answer made a flash of brilliance flash in the woman's eyes, and she seemed to be very curious, and then asked, "Why, aren't you afraid that I will cause you trouble?" At that time, I may have lost a qiē and will no longer be able to give you any compensation! ”
This question suddenly made Zhang Tie a little embarrassed, even if he wanted to tell the truth, he didn't know how to say it or how to open his mouth, because to tell the truth, it was completely the most secret growth story in the heart of a miserable green boy.
Fortunately, Olena did not get to the bottom of this question, and when she saw Kita running over with someone, the woman glanced at Zhang Tie's embarrassed appearance, and a smile on her face flashed, and then she regained her majesty and indifference.
……
A few hundred meters away from the castle, the people who came out of La Mer Castle saw Olena, of course, and Zhang Tie, everyone was a little surprised, and everyone hurriedly greeted Olena......
When he saw Olena, except for the accident, the faces of several escort captains suddenly relaxed, only Kerry's face turned white all of a sudden, and his body trembled slightly, Mrs. Olena had obviously arrived outside the castle, just a stone's throw away from the castle, why didn't she go over, but call everyone over, could this woman already know......
At this time, not only Kerry thought of this problem, but even several captains of the guard next to him also thought of it.
Kita came to Olena's side and whispered something in Olenna's ear, Olena's eyes immediately fixed on Kerry, and said lightly, "Kerry, Kita has already sued me for what happened just now, I didn't expect you to be so loyal, good, good!" ”
"Yes, yes......" Kerry said dryly, swallowing hard.
"Ma'am, I heard Kita say that you want someone to be against you tonight? By the way, what about the other guards? Perif stepped forward and asked loudly.
"Let's go back to La Mercastle first!"
"Madam, who is this man, I feel danger in him!" Adilina's eyes never left Zhang Tie after she came, this young and delicate man seems to be harmless to humans and animals, but I don't know why, but it makes people feel a huge danger, at the first sight of Zhang Tie, the cold hair on Adilina's neck who has the most acute sense of danger stands up, this is the feeling that Adilina has when she encounters the most dangerous beast in the forest.
Adilina's words made everyone's eyes focus on Zhang Tie at once.
"This is Peter, from now on, he is my personal bodyguard, and his treatment and power in La Merburg are the same as Kita." Olena didn't explain much about Zhang Tie's origin, just said her decision, and the majesty of the superior was undoubtedly revealed, and then, she waved her hand, "Let's go back to La Merburg first!" ”
Under the support and protection of everyone, Olina returned to La Merca, Zhang Tie also followed everyone, into the castle, along the way, Zhang Tiexian Adilina was the most wary of himself, and the young guard captain named Ji Gang was a little repulsive to himself, just rejection, not hostility, Kita quietly pointed to Zhang Tie and pointed to the Kerry who had just spoken, nodded solemnly, Zhang Tie understood......
Zhang Tie was very curious about how the woman Olena would deal with the current situation.
……
The council hall of La Mercastle was lavish and luxurious, and upon returning to La Mercastle, the five captains of the castle's guards were summoned by Olenna.
In the council hall, Olina sat on the main seat of the hall, several captains of the guard stood in front of her, Zhang Tie, as Olinna's personal bodyguard, stood on the left hand side behind the woman, and Kita disappeared as soon as she returned to the castle, not knowing what to do.
Olena told everyone in a very calm tone about her assassination tonight, and after listening to it, the captains of the guards froze for a moment. Olena didn't give a few people a chance to ask at all, and issued a bunch of orders in a row...... (To be continued...!)
