Chapter Forty-Nine: Vofez's Ambition
Wait a minute. Fate, please wait.
Zhou Yu ran wildly all the way, and everything around him seemed to turn into shadows, and he couldn't see or hear anything.
Galloping to the palace gate, there were already hundreds of sergeants here with swords and heavy guards. This time when he entered the city, Zhou Yu did not bring too many sergeants, and the soldiers of the fifth battalion and Lao Jiamei's army were waiting outside the city gate. He came in with only the high-ranking generals and the 500 members of the Einsatzgruppen. Just now, the Einsatzgruppen has been led to rest and eat by Wolfis.
It's better to be careful if you don't know what's going on. Zhou Yu took off his clothes, turned them over and put them back on, touched the mud from the ground and smeared it on his face, and hurriedly walked forward.
"What? Who? The guards drew their swords and stopped him.
"Oh, I'm a scout of the army outside the city, and the army priest has a message for the little one to bring it to tell the governor."
"Oh, wait a minute. Let's give you a briefing. With that, a heavily armed soldier turned and went into the palace. After a while, he hurried back again.
"Come with me!" The man led the way. Although the palace of the Wind Catcher City was magnificent, carved beams and paintings, pavilions and pavilions everywhere, and brilliant inside and out, Zhou Yu did not have the heart to covet this beautiful scenery at this time. He was worried about the dozens of lives he had.
"Let's go! You! Before he finished speaking, the soldier who had just turned around to urge received a heavy blow to the left side of the head, and he fainted with a thud on the stone wall. Zhou Yu has observed before and after, this is a corner, it is a blind spot for the front and rear guards, and it is the perfect choice to kill him here. He dragged the guard into the grass and changed into the guard's clothes. Taking advantage of the fact that the patrol soldiers had just passed, he lifted the guard up and threw him into the well.
"What are you doing?" There was a loud shout from behind.
Zhou Yu's heart was beating fast, and he turned around without saying a word.
"Why don't you go to the parlor to help, why are you standing stupidly? Millennials have found these stupid people with sick brains! A fat man in a slightly luxurious dress blew his beard and glared at him and scolded.
"Hmm!" Zhou Yu lowered his head, pressed the helmet, and walked forward with small steps.
"Over there!" The fat man screamed again.
"Oh!" Zhou Yu straightened his waist and ran in the direction of the fat man's fingers.
As soon as he stepped into the living room, the scene that caught his eye made Zhou Yu's heart tremble. There are dozens of people lying here in all directions, all of them their own men.
Are they poisoned? Zhou Yu felt that the world was spinning for a while. Dozens of soldiers were in groups of two, inside and out, carrying the bodies of Bai Qi and the others, and they looked pale and lifeless.
"Damn, you let that thief run away!" A voice rang out in a rage. Listening to sound is millennium.
"Haha, if you can run, the monk can't run the temple. Besides, didn't he just save the dog's life temporarily? When he returned, it was the moment of his death. "A vicious voice, none other than Wolfis.
Sure enough, it was a trap, Zhou Yu was shocked, and was told by the girl.
"If we hadn't let that dead girl ruin our good deeds, we would have sent a message to Lord Tuwang to ask for a reward right now!" Millennium sighed.
"Don't worry, how many times have I told you? The eagle in the desert endured because the time had not yet come, and if it broke out, it would definitely hit with one blow. You've endured it for so many years, and it's still a little bit away? Wolfis's voice was still cold.
Zhou Yu pretended to walk towards a body, which was Tuda's. He probed his hand around his neck and saw that there was still a pulse. That means that this group of people was only temporarily fascinated and did not die. His hanging heart was half lowered.
But the people who went back and forth were all in groups of two, and he was the only one who was left alone. Millennial and Wolfes were shouting and directing, and they were about to patrol him. What to do? What to do?
Zhou Yu's heart sank, and he touched the dagger on his waist. If you are recognized, you can only fight to the death. With his own strength, it all depends on luck that he can pass a few levels.
Just as he was about to make a move, he ran towards Wolfis. A hand tapped him on the shoulder, and the man pulled his helmet and said angrily, "Work!" ”
Although the person who came changed into the clothes of the Praetorian Guards and wore a thick helmet, Zhou Yu could still see at a glance that this was the girl. He hummed, picked Tuda up with her, and walked out with the group.
It turned out that these people were thrown into the dungeons under the palace. Zhou Yu went back and forth twice, carrying Tuda and Heizhi Changzhi respectively. When he was done, he and the girl followed the army out of the parlor.
As soon as he went out, Zhou Yu climbed up to the attic with a monkey, went up to the roof in three or two clicks, and hooked his fingers downward, and the girl also climbed up with him. Then, the two of them crouched down in a backlit place.
"What's wrong with my brothers?"
"If I'm right, they've been poisoned by psychedelic grass. Ignite a mixture of psychedelic herbs and three other herbs to enchant people in a matter of moments. The effect can be up to 2 days! The woman said.
"Since the Millennial is the number one poisoner in Windcatcher, why didn't he kill them? But did he leave a living mouth? ”
"Still don't understand? It's clear that they only want your life, and as for these minions, they will be escorted back to Dream Slayer as trophies, and the Earth King will torture them. ”
"Thank you!" Zhou Yu scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for saving my two lives in a short time!"
"It's less smelly and beautiful, I didn't like you when I saved you, but because I hated that old fox of Wolfis. If the City of the Windcatcher falls into his hands, the inhabitants of this city will suffer. The girl's eyes darkened, and she lowered her head.
"By the way, I don't know what your name is? My name is Stephen Chow, and others call me the Grand Duke. You, just call me Fourth Brother! Zhou Yu said and stretched out his hand to shake hands with her.
"Why, why do you call you Fourth Brother?" The girl asked in surprise.
"Because I got four big mouths from you!" After speaking, the two laughed together until they were angry. didn't dare to make a sound, they all covered their mouths, and almost held Zhou Yu out of his fart.
"My name is Nika!" The girl reached out and shook his hand gently.
"Nika, how do you see how I can save my brothers?"
"In this situation, they are waiting for you to throw yourself into the net. If you show up, you will be threatened with the lives of your subordinates, and you will be killed. If you don't show up, they're not in a hurry. All of your high-ranking generals are imprisoned in the dungeon by Wolfis, knowing that you are a mouse-thrower, and it is impossible for you to lead an army to attack. ”
"Then according to what you say, I can only sit back and die?"
"It's not like there's nothing to be done!" The girl sat down, obviously tired from squatting.
"What's the solution?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, the only person he could rely on and trust at present was this little girl who had just known him for an hour.
"The priestly office can be subdivided into the doctor, the curse, the poison, and the ghost. The so-called medical priest is a priest who has a lifelong pursuit of curing diseases and saving people, and seeking medical treatment. ”
"Well, please hurry up, Ms. Ni. I have other classes in a while, why don't we press the class? ”
Nika gave him a blank look.
"A priest is a priest who knows all kinds of spells, calls the wind and rain, and scatters beans into soldiers; The poison department uses poison to harm people invisibly, and it is incompatible with the medical department. As for the Oni Division, legend has it that he can manipulate the Yin Soldiers and make the ghosts and ghosts in hell sacrifice themselves for themselves, but I haven't seen it this big. ”
"What's the use of telling me so much? Isn't it too late for me to learn at my age? ”
"I'm not asking you to learn, I'm telling you the origin of the millennium. Millennial was my father's only disciple and studied under medicine. But as he gradually received the true inheritance of my father, his desire for power swelled day and night, and he began to stop obeying his master. In the end, he betrayed his master and switched to the Poison Division. Therefore, he is proficient in both medicine and poison. My father was also devastated by his betrayal and died of depression. Zhou Yu rarely saw a trace of warmth in the eyes of this bohemian tomboy.
"Shouldn't you inherit your father's mantle?"
"Hey, you don't understand the priesthood. There's a lot of twists and turns. I'm telling you so much to tell you that your sister Nika is also the Poison Division. If you want to save your subordinates, maybe I can help! Nika habitually looked for grass roots on the ground, and she didn't realize she was on the roof for a long time.
"Say it earlier! Dead! Zhou Yu slapped her with his shoulder.
"Since Millennial can use psychedelic grass, I can also use Seven Soul Grass. The efficacy is largely the same. Poison will always add some special ingredients to their recipes so that others cannot crack them. ”
"Understood, it's the password. Your password is known only to you! The Governor pretended to understand.
"I don't even understand what you're talking about. However, I only have one pair of these Seven Soul Grasses, which means that I can only use them once. Tonight, we can take the opportunity to get into the dungeon, poison the stunned guards, and save your men. Nika said firmly.
"Yes, yes. Not my men, though. The target is - Wolfis. Zhou Yu rubbed his chin.
"What? What is he doing with poison? You're not trying to save people? Nika asked, surprised.
"You think, even if I can save my dozens of brothers, I still have 500 rangers in their hands. Even if they are all rescued, how can they get out of the city? How to get out of the way? If I don't have chips in my hand, where do I have the initiative? ”
"You mean? You're going to kidnap Vofes and force Millennial to release him? Nika's eyes lit up.
"yes, you don't just have a pair of pills! If you have more viagra, I'll give each of these grandchildren a pair, so that they can't eat and walk around. Zhou Yu said viciously.
In the dark night, above the palace walls of the Storm Catcher City.
Two dark shadows swept by.
Zhou Yu followed Nika closely, she was as familiar with the upper three roads of this palace as if she was in her own home, and she was really a strange woman.
"Shh Nika made a gesture of silence. It seems that it is above Wolfis's bedroom. In the afternoon, Nika said that Vofes would never move to the reckless city lord's quarters, because he was an extremely superstitious person who thought it would bring him bad luck. Therefore, let people seal the dormitory early.
The palace of Storm Catcher City is made of blocks of marble, both up and down are mainly cut at right angles, and the roof is also a flat-roofed structure, without a single tile. Also, you are a place where it never rains, what is the use of a spire tile building?
I saw Nika pull out a rope from her waist, wrap the other end around Zhou Yu's waist, and sit down with him, and then a harrier turned over and hung down from the roof. Zhou Yu clung to the other corner of the roof, for fear that one would accidentally fall at the same time. I prayed silently in my heart, little girl, you must succeed, if your medicine expires or blows in the wrong place, we will never recover, and we have to drag more than 500 people to bury us.
In less than five minutes, two small hands grasped the roof, and a fish jumped up, blinking two large dark eyes on the covered linen towel.
It's done! Zhou Yu was so happy that he wanted to sing "Two Butterflies".
Mornings in Stormcatcher came later than in the interior, but they were unusually bright. The golden morning sun jumped into the room from outside the window, driving away the darkness while coating it with a layer of noble golden yellow, Zhou Yu stretched lazily, and sat down and slept for a night. Damn, it's all thanks to this old wretch.
"Alas! Get up! Zhou Yu kicked the bed hard, but the person on the bed did not react.
"Huh? My day your mother, you can really sleep! Zhou Yu took out the water bladder and took a big sip, ahh Nika was disgusted when she saw it.
"Huh? Yes! Wofes woke up from his sleep, completely unaware of what had happened last night. When I woke up, I found that my hands and feet were tied firmly, like a hairy crab.
"My lord, don't come unharmed!" Zhou Yu walked over and patted the cheek of Wolfis, who was lying on the bed, with his hand, and hit the old guy straight away.
"Y-What are you going to do?" Wolfe's eyes seemed to shoot fire.
"I'm supposed to ask you, what are you going to do?" Zhou Yu pulled out the dagger from his waist and slashed it with a brush, and a lock of white hair on Wolfe's head broke in response to the sound, and it took a long time to fall to the ground.
"What a good idea, Lord Vofez! Kill two birds with one stone, kill the reckless first and then kill me. Then invite merit and reward, and take advantage of the situation. Not bad! Not bad! Applaud your ingenuity! Zhou Yu said, and slapped twice in a fake way.
"It's a pity, you're not as good as the sky. How do you know that God sent such a big savior to rescue my grandson, why should I go to Hongluo Temple to repay my wishes. God willing, Bodhisattva appears, Allah is gracious! Zhou Yu spoke incoherently, snapping his fingers at Nika as he spoke.
"Now that you've torn your face, tell me about it, you horse thief. What are you going to do? "Wolfes really schemed, and guessed that Zhou Yu must have other plans to imprison him here.
"Well talked, each other! My lord, I just want to do business with adults. The business you love and I are willing to do, Tong Suo is not deceived and genuine! ”
"Oh? What business? ”
"Exchange your lives for the lives of more than 500 of my brothers!"
"Hahaha, you're dreaming!" Wolfes spat on the ground, he wanted to smack the Duke, but he didn't think he could get that far.
"Oh? How? ”
"I'm your only bargaining chip right now. You will never dare to kill me, and if you kill me, not only will you not be able to save your brothers and soldiers, but it will also be a problem for you to escape. Am I right? A shiver twinkled in Wolfis's eyes.
"That's right!" Zhou Yu stiffened his neck and nodded.
"And I can order the millennium to kill your men one by one, one by one. Let them be tortured to death before you. And you, on the other hand, can't do anything. I can only watch them step by step towards death! Ha ha! Wolfes laughed even more arrogantly than he did when he was free.
"Really?" Zhou Yu slowly pulled out the sword bag on his back and took off the sword sleeve. A jet-black sword was revealed, and both Vofes and Nika were unknown.
With a swipe, a sword slashed, and a white light flashed on Wolfe's bound left hand. There was little pain, and all four fingers except the thumb were severed from the second joint. Of course, that's not the point. The point is when the four severed fingers fall to the ground.
There were four clanging sounds, and four stone joints smashed on the marble floor, shattering into slag in an instant.
"What? What is it? Wolfe's eyes showed a desperate horror.
"The sword of atonement. I'm sorry, I can't kill you, I'm going to make you shorter and shorter, and more and more stones. Zhou Yu said, approaching Vofes fiercely.
