060 Tachibana Thorn Cavalry (5)
Ripenjar woke up from his pain, first physiologically confused for a while, and then remembered that he had been knocked over with an incandescent ball of light by a girl who was too beautiful to talk about. He shook his head and tried to stand up, but found that his whole body was tied with a hemp rope so professionally that he couldn't move at all.
It was an empty rock house, and there was still a smell of rock and soil in the air, which should have not been built for a long time. Chen Bengel looked around, the sensation of his body was gradually recovering, he felt that his throat was very dry, and his chest was even more painful: "Damn, that is really ruthless...... But it's so pretty. ”
"It seems that there will be no right to inherit the title in the future." Ribengel sighed, robbed a village, was actually kidnapped, and put in the Tatebana Thorn Kingdom, which was proud of its military exploits, this is a big scandal, he observed the sunlight coming in through the window, sighed and said: "It should be noon now, and I don't know what the nobles of this place will do with me." ”
Then he waited until it was getting dark, and when he was so hungry that he wanted to curse, a middle-aged man finally came in outside, looking at the costume, he was a mercenary fighter.
"Finally here!" Ribenjel sneered.
"The master wants to see you." Balf grabbed the hemp rope behind Bengel's back and rudely lifted him up.
Ribengel was pushed out of the room, and he saw some of his men tied separately under several trees, surrounded by a dozen children, screaming and throwing stones at them, most of the soldiers were smashed to the point of bleeding, but it looked like there should be no danger to life.
He was then taken to what seemed to him to be a rather rudimentary wooden building. A teenager was sitting in a chair, wiping his mouth with a white towel, and two girls were cleaning up the scraps on the table, one of them was the beautiful girl sorcerer who knocked him out last night.
She's actually a subordinate? Ribenjel couldn't help but frown, this is also a waste of talent.
"Hello." The sitting young man smiled at him: "I'm Chen Xiansong, and I can be regarded as the lord of the manor here." ”
Chen Xiansong is now wearing civilian clothes, and he is not carrying a scepter that represents his identity, so Riben Gel thinks that he is just an ordinary little nobleman, or a descendant of a nobleman who has just obtained a small fief: "I am Riben Gel Dolan, the eldest son of the Tachibana Thorn Doran family, and you let people set those traps last night?" ”
Chen Xiansong nodded: "Indeed." ”
"Your family is a military family of the Kate Dynasty?" Ribengel looked at the other party's black hair and black eyes: "But your appearance is obviously a person from the Aurora Dynasty." I've never heard of a nobleman in the Kate Kingdom's army that looks like the Aurora Dynasty. ”
"I'm not an army man, in fact, I've only been in Kate's kingdom for a short time." Chen Xiansong looked at Ribengel who was tied up like a fish, and felt very fresh: "As for my noble title, I just got it. ”
"A nobleman who defected from the Aurora Dynasty?" Liben Gyer originally looked at Chen Xiansong's gaze with some respect, but now he has a bit of discrimination: "I heard that the Aurora Kingdom has recently been famine, and many nobles have fled, so it seems that you are one of them." ”
Chen Xiansong smiled at his words: "Sort of." ”
"Last night's rejection of horses, trap pits, and traps were all set up by you, so you should be proficient in war science." Lying on the ground, he twisted his neck with difficulty, glanced at Bai Min next to him, and then said: "Besides, you also have a very powerful sorcerer, it stands to reason that you should have a relatively high status, how did you come here and become a low-level little nobleman." ”
Chen Xiansong said: "I think this kind of life is good. ”
"Otherwise, if you let me go and return to the Thorn Kingdom with me, I can guarantee that I can give you a better title." Ribengel said with a straight face: "Anyway, you just came to Kate Kingdom, so you must not have any loyalty here." ”
Chen Xiansong looked at him for a while, and laughed: "Although I am still very young, I am not stupid, just now when you heard that I was a defected nobleman of the Aurora Kingdom, you already had a look of disgust, if I go with you to the Tatehuathorn again, maybe as soon as I cross the border, you will send your subordinates to kill me." ”
"Hahaha, Your Excellency really likes to joke, how could such a thing happen. If you don't believe me, I can swear to the sun god. Ribengel was not at all embarrassed by being exposed: "A talent like you who is proficient in the science of war, the Kate Kingdom actually doesn't reuse it, and even sends you to be a small manor near the border, which is clearly on guard against you." ”,
"I don't know how to study war." Chen Xiansong waved his hand: "I just happened to read some books on how to deal with cavalry." I don't need to mention the matter of going to Tachibana with you. ”
Ribengel didn't believe it: "The arrangement of rejecting horses and trapping horses are indeed a perfect reproduction of war books, but the traps in the back, step by step, are simply a stroke of genius, we have no chance to fight with your people at all, and the team will collapse, such an ability, even if you lead an army of a thousand people, there is no problem, Your Excellency is too modest." ”
"If you don't believe me, I can't help it."
Ribenjer pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed, and then continued to ask: "Your Excellency brought me, do you want to talk about the ransom?" ”
"It's not." Chen Xiansong shook his head: "I don't have any interest in the disposition of the invaders, in the morning, I have sent someone out to inform the lord here, saying that I have captured more than 20 cavalry scouts from other countries, presumably they should come soon to bring you to Black Earth City." ”
Ribengel was a little puzzled: "Then what is the purpose of your meeting with me......"
"Curious!"
"Curious?" Ribenjar asked.
"yes, curious." Chen Xiansong explained: "I have only seen the word captive in books before, and I have only read descriptions of captives in books, so I wanted to see with my own eyes what it means to be captive, and now I see it, and I am a little disappointed." ”
"Disappointment, you say?" Ribengel blushed, he felt that his pride had been severely humiliated, and he struggled on the ground like a fish, and at the same time shouted: "How dare you insult a descendant of a noble family with a long roots in the Tachibana Kingdom, one day, you will regret it!" ”
"Insults? It seems so. Chen Xiansong shrugged: "Okay, to tell you the truth, I do look down on you." The war between you and the Kingdom of Uva is a dispute between the two countries, and I am not qualified to say anything, but as a soldier, you actually went to other countries to rob unarmed civilians, hehe, do you think this kind of behavior can make me respect you? ”
"The law of the jungle, how can commoners compare with us nobles. You yourself are a nobleman, don't you understand our pride? ”
"It seems that there is a fundamental difference in our perceptions." Chen Xiansong shook his head again and again: "Now I regret seeing you a little, and I feel that the good mood of the day is gone." Balve, take him away, tie him up under a tree with the rest of the soldiers, I don't think there's any need to take any special care of him. ”
Balf whispered from the side, "Master, the nobles have such a privilege, they must ensure enough decency, you can tie him up in private, but you can't let him lose face in front of the common people, if you insist on doing so, it may affect your reputation among the nobility of Black Earth City." It may even be isolated. ”
"And that said?" Chen Xiansong frowned.
Balf replied, "Yes, it is an unspoken rule common to all nobles, and there are no restrictions on nations and nations. ”
"Then bring him back to the hut. When Verde came, he handed the person directly to the Lord's Mansion. ”
"Yes, master." Balf mentioned Ribengel: "After settling him, I will go to the entrance of the village to wait and receive His Excellency Verder. Is there anything else the master commands? ”
Chen Xiansong yawned: "After a while, Ferde came and told me that I was really sleepy, so I went to sleep first." He can do whatever he pleases with these captives, as long as he doesn't kill them in my place. ”
"Yes, master."
Ribengel's upper body was hung upside down, he tried to raise his head to look at Chen Xiansong, and said with difficulty and slowly: "If I have a chance to live in the future, I will look forward to meeting you for the second time, don't die too early, Your Excellency Chen Xiansong." ”
Chen Xiansong ignored him and went directly to the second floor.
It wasn't long before Verde was out of the village with his men. As soon as he got off his horse, Balf went up: "Welcome to the Greystone, Your Excellency...... Our master's territory. ”
"I heard you caught the squad leader of the Tatebana Thorn Scout?" Verde asked excitedly.
"Yes. Now he is imprisoned in a room, and please follow us, Your Excellency. "Balf led the way.
"How many of the enemy came last night?"
"It's estimated to be about sixty, and we didn't count them. Only more than twenty people were taken prisoner, and the rest were all dead. ”
"How many casualties do you have?" Verde asked as he walked, "Give me a detailed amount, and I can apply for a casualty pension from the Lord's Mansion for you." ”
"Not a single one." Balf replied.
"What!" Verder paused, he looked at Balf in surprise, somewhat unconvinced of what he had heard: "Are you sure you're not kidding?" ”
