Chapter 44: The Robbery (Part II)
However, it was obvious that the other party would not rest on his laurels, and for a while, more "bamboo tubes" were thrown out of the surrounding houses like raindrops.
"It's a fog!" Yuan Cheng inadvertently inhaled a breath of mist, and immediately felt that his limbs were weak, and his mind gradually blurred, and he hurriedly sat down and transported the fighting energy, expelling the poison of the drug in the person's body, "Stop it for me, hold your breath!"
However, it was too late to shout at this time, and a large number of people and horses fell to the ground one after another, and even Yuan Cheng's lieutenant did not withstand the fog and fell asleep.
Yuan Cheng looked around vigilantly, even if he died, he wanted to know who was plotting against him, and sure enough, a large number of soldiers dressed in the robes of the Principality of Slim jumped out of the surrounding houses.
However, these soldiers of the Principality of Slim ignored Yuan Cheng's existence and ran straight to King Karl's prisoner car, which made Yuan Cheng, who had already been prepared to see death as home, feel great humiliation and roared: "You all stand for me!"
The Slim soldier led by him was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yuan Cheng, and then chose to continue to ignore him, turned into the prisoner cart, and stuffed a pill directly into King Karl's mouth, King Carl sobered up a lot after the pill was in his stomach, and carefully glanced at the soldier in front of him, his face did not improve in the slightest, and he said in a low voice: "You are not my people." ”
"At least for now. ”
The "Slim" soldier at the head blinked, and instantly swung several swords, and the cage was cut off along with the shackles on King Karl's body.
This skill...... King Karl looked at his freed hands and feet, and looked at the person in front of him suspiciously, "Sword Master?"
The soldiers of "Slim" did not take care of King Karl, and directly carried him on his shoulders, and if King Karl saw any clues, it would be worth the loss.
When the other Slim soldiers saw that King Karl had been taken away, they also followed suit, but no one, including Major General Yuan Cheng, noticed that a "stunned" man behind the prisoner car secretly took out a fragment of the battle suit of the Principality of Slim from his cuff. However, under the fragments of the suit, a piece of epaulettes of the soldiers of Summer Night County also "unintentionally".
Summer Night County is a large county under the jurisdiction of the Bright Moon County Lord, it is actually the largest county in the world, and the Bright Moon County Lord also relied on the power of this county to lay the name of the first county lord in the world, and every officer and soldier of the Summer Night County has such an epaulette on his battle robe.
The man dropped the pieces on top of the broken cart and continued to pretend to have fainted.
When the smoke cleared a little, Yuan Cheng also dissolved the poison of the fog in his body, at this time he was angry in his heart, the enemy rescued the prisoner without a single soldier, and even from beginning to end, the other party ignored himself, which was a shame that he had not experienced since he joined the army.
"These bastards!" Yuan Cheng angrily walked to the side of the prisoner car, looked at the remnants of the prisoner car, slightly stunned, as a general, he is very familiar with the sword wounds, he can sharpen iron as easily as cutting tofu, but it can make the cut of the remnant as smooth as a mirror, which shows that both the sword skills and the precise control of strength have reached a very high level, and it is not a mediocre hand to have such strength. Yuan Cheng thought about it, this person's strength is definitely not below me, and he must also be a sword saint.
What is it?
Yuan Cheng's eyes lit up, there was a bright fragment of the Principality of Slimm's suit next to the prisoner car, it seemed to be cut by the hook and angle on the prisoner cart, Yuan Cheng turned over the fragment of the suit, and saw the epaulettes of the soldiers of the Summer Night County at a glance, and couldn't help but sweat coldly, these soldiers who hijacked the key criminals were not from the Principality of Slimm, but were pretended to be people from the Lord of Mingyue County?
Thinking about it this way, many questions can be easily solved, the battle uniform of the Principality of Slimm has always been brightly striped, and it is undoubtedly self-defeating to wear it in the imperial capital that is fortified step by step, and it is undoubtedly self-defeating, and it can be worn so grandly in the imperial capital, indicating that there are very likely to be internal ghosts in the imperial capital.
It's no wonder that the county lord of Mingyue can safely escort King Carl back to the imperial capital from the hinterland of the enemy army thousands of miles away, it turns out that the county lord of Mingyue and King Karl have already colluded! Major General Yuan Cheng thought about it carefully, and was extremely afraid, if the county lord of Mingyue belonged to the rebel party, then His Royal Highness King Yuexian might not be able to get rid of it, and only one of the county lords of Mingyue was far from being able to deal with it by himself, not to mention the King of Yuexian behind him!
Major General Yuan Cheng no longer waited for his subordinates to wake up, and hurriedly turned around and continued to run to the execution ground, this matter is not trivial, it is estimated that only by notifying the generals sitting in the execution ground in advance, and only the two generals will go out at the same time, maybe they can turn the tide in such a situation.
"Drive!"
Approaching the south gate of Chiba City, a small group of men and horses led by the Lord of Mingyue County galloped on horseback, straight to the south gate, and soon, another team of men and horses ran over and joined them, and this team was led by the Sword Saint Tan Qiu Dao. Tan Qiudao caught up with Zheng Xianyue's mount and replied, "County Lord, the matter has been taken care of. ”
"What about people?" asked Zheng Xianyue quietly.
Tan Qiudao pointed to the black cloth pocket on the horse behind him: "The person has been brought." ”
"What about the casualties?" asked the Bright Moon County Lord with a frown.
Tan Qiudao patted his chest proudly: "The old man is doing things, the county lord can rest assured, whether it is our side or Major General Yuan Cheng's side, not a single soldier has been injured." ”
"Where the houses were set on fire, did the people evacuate?"
Tan Qiudao replied with a smile: "The county lord is like a god, and we have informed the people in advance, and on the grounds that we found that there is a criminal party of the Principality of Slim, we have dispersed the people there, distributed the money and resettled, so there are no casualties." ”
"It's the best," Zheng Xianyue breathed a sigh of relief, "It's just that I wronged them." ”
After a while, the team arrived at the south gate of Chiba Castle.
"Stop, who are you?" shouted the guards at the south gate.
"The main part of this county is to go out of the city, open the city gate quickly!" Zheng Xianyue looked at the guards indifferently, not angry and arrogant.
When the guards heard the voice, they felt a little apprehensive in their hearts, it was the Lord of Mingyue! All the guards guarding the gate also immediately made a respectful military salute.
"Get out of the way!" the Bright Moon County Lord ordered again, his tone firm and unquestionable.
"But ......" The guard led by the guard said very embarrassed, "My emperor has a decree, today is restricted, there is no general order, only allowed to enter the city, not out of the city......" Before the words fell, a gold medal flew over, and the guards caught the gold medal and looked at it, it was the gold medal of the Yuexian Palace.
Seeing this gold medal, the guards got out of the way, "Release!"
After leaving the city, the group traveled more than 20 miles in a hurry, and then came to Songpa Village, which had been agreed in advance.
This is a place that is inaccessible, but at this time, there is a group of people dressed in merchant casual clothes, who are handing over drinks here, talking happily, this group of people also saw the county lord of Mingyue and others, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they got up to greet them.
