221 Preemptive strike
The sound of ticking and ticking resounded throughout the castle, and the guard drew his long sword, as if facing a great enemy, he protected Seth, who was covering his cheeks in pain, and the strange blow just now made this guard almost frightened, he had never seen such a strange attack method, not like the elemental secret method of the sorcerer, not like the elemental fighting spirit of the warrior, it was another new kind of energy.
'Rose' looked at the guard who was almost seriously injured by her, and when she wanted to continue the pursuit, she found that she found that her nose was a little itchy, she subconsciously touched it, and found the red liquid in her hand: "Damn, my sister's body is too poor to withstand my ability at all." ”
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, listening to the sound, the number should be no less than ten people, and if you don't leave now, you may not be able to leave. The green-haired Rose glanced at Seth hatefully, then rushed to the window and jumped down.
Seth, who was naked, stood up with his cheeks covered, ignoring the short bird under his crotch swaying in the air, and he cried out angrily: "Help me get her back, shit, I signed a contract with the city lord, and if I don't wait for tonight, I will not lose a lot to let her go like this." ”
The guard ran to the window, and saw a black image leaving from under the balcony of the castle like an arrow from the string, he returned to the room, looked at the angry Seth, and said cautiously: "Master, I think it is more important to protect your safety, that woman, very strong, if we all go after her, and she will kill again...... Then you're in danger. ”
These are the family guards, and their loyalty should not be questioned, and when Seth heard this, he calmed down a lot, and he exclaimed, "Bastard, how did that woman suddenly become so powerful. Just now it was a picture of resignation, as if she had changed someone, I heard that she used to be a very powerful mercenary, it seems that this rumor is indeed true...... I'm at a loss in this transaction, no, I'll have to make the city lord pay other costs in the future. ”
The guards stepped aside and did not speak.
Several of the guards rushed into the room, and Seth asked them to bring their own clothes, and when they were dressed, they snorted. There was a kind of bloodthirsty madness on the fat face, and he disappeared, and then left the City Lord's Mansion with his subordinates.
Rose, who escaped from the city lord's mansion, walked in the night, and the city was under martial law at night. When the time limit was reached, the lights had to be turned off, and the sky was full of dark clouds. The streets were pitch black. In such an environment, it is difficult to see the surrounding environment clearly, but she seems to be able to see any environment around her, whether it is a puddle or a pit on the road, she avoids them one by one. Walk as if it were flat ground.
The gates of the city were closed, and she hid behind a certain house, sniffing into the air for a moment, and quickly determined her direction. Then the whole person jumped up, like a gecko, clinging to the city wall and swimming towards the city, while a black energy substance around her enveloped her body, forming a protective color, causing her to quietly cross the city wall.
On the other side, Chen Xiansong was sitting in front of the fire at this time, boredly counting the stars in the sky. The temperature difference between night and day is also very large, and if you don't make a fire, it will be very difficult. But the fire was not made for him, but for the slave girls and grooms.
Chen Xiansong slept in the carriage, covered with two blankets, and there were two girls who were not afraid of the cold at all, and their bodies were soft and warm, so naturally there would be no problems. But the slave girls and grooms each had only one blanket, and if they were in the city or in the house, they could barely keep warm, but in the hinterland of the grassland, this little thing was not enough.
When the fire was raised, the slave girls and the coachmen and horses in thin blankets breathed a sigh of relief and no longer shivered with cold. Walking on the grassland, in addition to the extremely low temperature, the steppe lone wolf is also a very dangerous factor, but the fire can drive them away, and almost all nocturnal beasts will not approach the place where the fire rises.
And by nightfall, they had gathered enough hay to burn for a night. The slave girls and the coachmen were eating the dry food slowly, very slowly, and they didn't even have much to eat, so the time to let go of their bellies and eat like this was precious.
Chen Xiansong, who was really bored, walked to the side of the carriage, grabbed some wax meat from it, and then folded some branches in the low bushes nearby, and then stabbed a small cut in the wax meat with a knife, strung it with branches, and put it on the fire to barbecue. The sound of tar and the smell of meat were permeating, and all the female slaves subconsciously swallowed their saliva, but they still lowered their heads and did not look at the meat skewers in Chen Xiansong's hands.
After the meat was grilled, Chen Xiansong gave it to Bai Qianxin and Bai Min equally, when the former took the meat skewer, he was stunned for a while, and then smiled happily, hugged Chen Xiansong and kissed him on the face, and then took the meat skewer and chewed slowly, as if he was eating a very precious delicacy. And Bai Min was a little overwhelmed with the meat skewers, but Chen Xiansong could see that she was still very happy.
Two pieces of meat bought the hearts of two cyborgs, and the intimacy was greatly increased. Chen Xiansong sighed in his heart, from which he could see that he was usually a wolf-hearted dog, and he hadn't done anything at all for the two girls who were not relatives, but were better than relatives, so that simply grilling a piece of meat for them made them so happy.
Chen Xiansong, who was a little distracted because of guilt, lost the idea of barbecue, and he distributed the wax meat, only to find that no one ate it on the spot, but silently put away the meat, as if it was intended to be used as reserve food. The slaves were hungry and consciously planned for their later lives, while the coachmen could not eat meat several times a year, so they planned to keep it for a while.
Linda's gaze stayed on Chen Xiansong from time to time, but she didn't dare to look at Bai Qianxin, nor did she dare to look at Bai Min, because every time she looked at it, she would feel inferior, so inferior that she felt that she was so ugly and had a poor background, and she was not worthy of living in this world. Fortunately, people's survival instinct is still very strong, so she will not commit suicide.
Chen Xiansong felt a little sleepy, and after arranging for the people to rotate the night watch, he climbed into the carriage and went to sleep. Originally, he himself tried what it was like to keep a vigil at night, but this opinion was opposed by everyone. Bai Qianxin and Bai Min needless to say, they like their own Xiao Song to sleep well and get in good health, and the other slaves are even more panicked, the reason is very simple, if the master does these rough work. What else do they need to do with slaves and servants!
Seeing the anger of everyone, Chen Xiansong had no choice but to lie on the carriage.
It's a four-wheeled carriage for Husso, and it's big enough to sleep with a blanket on it. Two cyborg girls lay next to him one on the left and one on the right, if there were three people, the space would be a little narrow, but it was very warm to huddle together, Chen Xiansong was used to sleeping with Bai Min in his arms, and this time he tried to hold Bai Qianxin...... It was just as comfortable and fell asleep quickly.
Bai Min leaned against Chen Xiansong's back. Although his eyes were closed, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed.
After seeing the master climb into the carriage, everyone in front of the fire was noticeably relaxed, in this era, the gap between classes was too great. Although Chen Xiansong has always behaved very kindly, no one dares to talk nonsense in front of him. Linda was still eating white bread. Compared to others. She eats more slowly and more comfortably.
The fire, the blanket draped over the body, the soft white bread, the fragrant waxy meat, and a kind host. In the eyes of a girl, the so-called happiness is these things, which can be touched. Visible, real.
Several slave girls consciously lined up candidates for the night vigil in turn, and Linda was not among them. Now the female slaves are obviously alive, and people know a lot about things. In their eyes, although Linda was a slave like them, she had been in trouble with her master yesterday, and they knew that this friendship was not comparable to her, so they regarded her as the little leader of the people.
Except for the two men of the night watch, a bunch of people lay down around the fire. In the middle of the night, the wailing of steppe wolves could be heard nearby, and occasionally one or two pairs of green eyes wandered in the darkness nearby, but there was a strong firelight, and they did not dare to approach.
As the night deepened, the fire was burning, the temperature was getting lower and lower, the flames of the fire were smaller, and the sleeping people subconsciously wrapped themselves in thin blankets and moved in. Linda couldn't sleep even though her eyes were closed, and the sweet taste of the white bread seemed to linger on her taste buds.
Originally, she should be in a good mood, but somehow, she couldn't sleep with some upset.
Then she saw the beautiful lady with a blank face come out of the carriage, fly into the sky, and go the way she came, and it was not long before she descended again, and got back into the carriage. After a while, Chen Xiansong walked out wearing Odin's sacred clothes. Linda had seen this suit worn by her new owner, and she had always thought that it was the most beautiful armor in the world, and it was also the most suitable armor for the owner's identity.
Seeing that the master was awake, the two slave girls who were on vigil hurriedly woke up the others, and after waiting for about a minute, Chen Xiansong said to the people who were still a little confused: "Just now Xiao Min and Sister Qianxin told me that there are many people coming from afar, it should be cavalry, and the number should be no less than three thousand, and it is very likely that they are coming for me......"
Hearing this, everyone and their friends were stunned.
"So, there's a good chance you'll be targeted." Chen Xiansong smiled apologetically: "So I have an idea, you guys should escape in the carriage first, I will give you a gold coin each for you to use on the road, my territory is in Graystone Village of Kate Kingdom, you can go there, of course, if you have a better place to go, go by yourself, I will not force you to stay." ”
No one spoke, and for these unidentified slaves, following their masters was the only way out. Linda stepped forward, she ripped open her collar, revealing her left shoulder, which had a flesh-colored imprint on it: "Master, we are slaves, we have been slaves all our lives, if we don't have a master by our side, we can't tell who our master is, if we are caught by the army or the law enforcers of the city, we will be unconditionally executed." ”
Chen Xiansong didn't know much about the slave system, he was still strange that the slaves didn't run away for anything, as long as they escaped, they would be able to live freely in the future, but now he understood what was going on. That is, if he sends these slaves away now, all that awaits them is death.
"In that case, we will have to preemptively carry out the decapitation operation." When Chen Xiansong finished saying these words, there was already a faint sound like a sea tide in the distance. (To be continued......)
