Chapter 21: Chariots
The next morning, the sky was bright, and the rain of the day finally stopped temporarily, but outside the imperial capital, the headquarters of the night attack was still cloudy
Two members were missing, and the atmosphere here was depressed all night, and even the next day, when the clouds cleared and the sky revealed a sunny day, it could not dispel the depression in everyone's hearts.
"Everyone cheer up, since we have set out to kill such a thing, we are ready to sacrifice ourselves or our companions, and this time we encountered this kind of thing, which is also a mistake of our intelligence." Na Jiexi said with heavy thoughts between his eyebrows, "I didn't expect the hundred-armed giant to be able to recover his combat strength in such a short time after he went berserk, and I don't know why it has become more ferocious, so I must avoid this mistake as much as possible in the future." ”
"Hill...... Ma Yin ...... "Tazmi clenched his fists, and his nails dug into the flesh without noticing" me...... If only I could be stronger......"
"Tazmi, it's not your fault, cheer up" Brand walked up to Tazmi and put one hand on his shoulder "You have this blood, but you can't solve the problem with all the blood!" ”
"I know, big brother" Tazmi gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, but tears still oozed from the corners of his eyes, "I know ......"
Meanwhile, Mayne and Ciel, who are thought to have been sacrificed, are sitting in the room of the Lion King's Pride, eating breakfast. Hill's wanted warrant was posted across the street from the inn, and Qiuchen had to keep them in the room. Although there are not too many in the hall, it is still easy for people to recognize a wanted criminal sitting here, and it is not easy to find a good stronghold, and Qiu Chen does not want to waste it
"Thank you so much for your hospitality" After Ciel finished eating, he put down his knife and fork in satisfaction, stood up and bowed to Qiuchen
"It's not that tasty, it's barely enough to swallow, Ciel, you're so polite," Ma Yin muttered as she pouted, but the knife and fork in her hand kept destroying the food on her plate. I have to say that it was a perfect decision to let Iaias become a chef, I once heard him say that in order to get ahead in the army, he learned a lot of useful skills, cooking is one of them, and Tazmi and Sayo are better than him
As for Qiu Chen, let's spare him for cooking or something...... It is estimated that only Yuyuko likes to eat it, and even Sakiya will be very moved after seeing the food made by Qiu Chen, and say that his master can finally help clean up a little of the Red Devil Pavilion's unused ingredients, and then resolutely dump it into the trash
In the end, at Ah Qiu's insistence, he had to give up the idea of raising his level of food handling from being able to only make instant noodles a level
"Well, since the two of you are almost recovered, can you talk about something before leaving" Qiu Chen swept over Mayne and Hill, who were sitting across from him. Mayin's fracture problem recovered on the day the treatment was completed, and Hill was able to get out of bed and walk normally after two days in bed, although his face was still a little pale due to anemia caused by excessive blood loss, but as long as he recuperated for a few more days, it would not be a big problem
"What do you want to ask" Ma Yin picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, "but first, I have the right to remain silent, and I can only say that I have no comment on some questions"
"I know you're a member of the Night Raid, but don't worry, I don't have any ill will towards you" Qiuchen thought in his heart and asked, "Can I know the location of your stronghold, I want to meet your leader and ask about you and the revolutionary army"
"No comment"
Qiuchen was choked for a moment, but when he thought about it, he was indeed a little abrupt, "Okay, okay, then can I ask you a question about your imperial equipment, such as how did your imperial equipment come from, and the revolutionary army gave it to you?" Your chief gave yours? ”
“…… No comment"
The corners of Qiuchen's mouth twitched, "Then, let me ask you, can I go to your base?"
“…… No comment"
"...... "Are you a White House spokesman!?"
"Mayne, should we take Mr. Dust to the base" Hill, who was a little natural on the side, looked a little embarrassed, "A good person like Mr. Dust is definitely willing to support our cause, and with his superb medical skills, no one in the organization will be injured, and everyone will definitely be able to go to the end together at that time" Hill's voice was not mixed with a trace of other feelings, as if a simple person was narrating a simple and beautiful wish, "You said that you want to be the final victor, Wouldn't that be nice, Main?"
Ma Yin looked at Hill with a blank expression, and Qiuchen laughed quietly, which made Hill a little confused
"Hmm... Hug, I'm sorry, did I say the wrong thing again, I'm really sorry" Hill bowed his head with his hands in his hands and apologized "Because I don't know how to speak, if I say it somewhere, so please don't take it to heart"
"No, no, no, you didn't say the wrong thing, Ciel" Qiuchen rubbed his eyes and let out a long sigh, "Hearing you say this, I feel like I'm really going to your headquarters."
"Hey, you have to think about it" Ma Yin stretched out his finger and tapped on the table, and said solemnly, "Once you enter the night attack headquarters, the empire will definitely see you as an accomplice, we are killers, and we have long been prepared to kill and be killed, if you don't have such thoughts, I advise you to forget all this as soon as possible, and when the new country is established, you will definitely be able to better exert your strength, instead of dying before"
"Ha~ you have to say this......" Qiu Chen waved his hand indifferently, but before he could finish speaking, a knock at the door interrupted his words
"Sir," Iyeas poked his head in with some confusion, "There is a member of the Imperial Capital Guard who claims to be Seleuc at the door, and he wants to see you."
As soon as she heard the name of Iyeas, Mayne's pupils shrank, "It's her?!" Her hand subconsciously touched her imperial tool, but Qiu Chen grabbed her hand
"Don't come out of the room two of you, I think Seleucai is just passing by" Seeing Mayin's inquiring eyes, Qiuchen smacked his lips, "I don't want you to destroy my shop...... Stay here and keep quiet, I'll talk about it when I get back."
After that, Qiuchen got up and walked out of the guest room, and as soon as he walked up the stairs, he could see Sai Leu at the door constantly looking left and right in the store, and the expression on her face seemed to be very happy
"Hi ~ Sai Liu" Qiu Chen walked down the stairs to the hall, and greeted Sai Liu at the door, "Why do you have time to come to me today, are you on vacation?"
"Of course not, I'm just patrolling to protect innocent citizens from the clutches of thieves," Seru waved in salute, followed by her little arms in the same salute. From the outside, this is just a cute thing, but after seeing what it looked like when it fought that night, Qiuchen no longer treats it as an ordinary pet, "By the way, I have one more thing, justice finally won the night before yesterday!" I managed to defeat two thieves! ”
"Yes, yes" Qiuchen scratched the back of his head as he pretended to be a little distressed, "But there are too many thieves in the world, just crusade against one or two, for thousands of thieves, it's just a drop in the bucket."
"But one day, the light of justice will leave all thieves with nowhere to hide!" Sai Leu still said excitedly, "Store manager, do you have anything to worry about, let me help you!" Helping the citizens is exactly what our Imperial Capital Garrison has to do."
"If you want to say that you are distressed, it is not nothing" Qiuchen sighed and took out the account book, "Obviously, this hotel paid taxes once at the beginning of the month, but in the past few days, people have been coming to the door and saying that they want me to pay more taxes, and if I don't pay taxes, I will close the store, but where did I go to find so much money just a few days ago, I am now worried about this matter." I didn't expect the imperial capital to have to pay taxes every day."
"Hey, but the store manager, the tax law of the imperial capital is to pay taxes once a month" Seliu asked suspiciously, "Could it be that some thieves came to forcibly collect taxes!?" Please tell me who they really are, and justice will not let them go"
"But they are indeed wearing the clothes of the Imperial Capital Garrison," Qiu Chen pretended to be embarrassed and said, "And they also have the documents and insignia of the Imperial Capital Garrison, I don't know what to do."
After listening to Qiuchen's narration, Sai Leu lowered her head, and the bangs on her forehead covered her eyes, as if she felt the anger of her master, and Xiaobi also let out a low whirl, "There must be thieves who have mixed into the imperial capital garrison!" Do they think they can get away with it in the garrison!? Don't worry, store manager, justice will punish them! ”
