Chapter 67: The Scramble
The soldier who rushed in was dressed in an old leather armor, with a bow and arrows on his back, and his broadsword unsheathed, and he was murderous. A pair of inverted triangular eyes swept through the hall, whether it was the tall and thin man who rushed in before, or the guys and maids who were originally in the hall, they were all shocked by his murderous aura, let alone speak, and they didn't even dare to move.
The soldier was not tall, and he felt a little short and strong, but the murderous aura on his body added infinite power to him, making him look like a giant, which was difficult to look at.
He held the sword, approached the tall and thin man without hurry, took two steps, the tall and thin man finally came to his senses, and hurriedly ran away, but heard him say coldly: "It's a desert outside, if you are not afraid to be a dry corpse, just flee." ”
Hearing this, the tall and thin man suddenly stopped running, and said with a sad face: "I'm all about to quit the rivers and lakes, what's the use of you chasing me?"
"Hand over what you stole and robbed, and I won't chase you. ”
"I've sold a lot of those things. ”
"I don't care. ”
"Then you just have to embarrass me?"
"It's you, not me, who is making things difficult for you. ”
The tall and thin man stopped talking, and a murderous aura gradually appeared in his eyes.
He is also a robber, although he is not a big thief, he is more or less a man with face. This pursuer refuses to give him face, so he can only give it a go!
The owner of this hotel knows him, and he is also a friend of the road. Coupled with the cook, the man, and the maid, five people beat this patrolman, and no matter how good the other party is, he will definitely be able to take care of it. The only question is, how many people will die?
This group of them is not a powerful overlord or anything like that, at best, they are "big people" at the level of ordinary towns. Ordinary reckless men with brute force can easily gather twenty or thirty of them, but they don't have any of them who can really fight and are qualified to mix the rivers and lakes.
Just like in this hotel, there are three people under the boss's subordinates in name, but in fact, he has no binding force on these three people. There is probably no problem with taking these three people to do business and make a fortune, but if you want to take them to fight with a veteran detective patrolman, I'm afraid it won't work.
In fact...... Even if it is the boss himself, the tall and thin man may not be 100% sure that he can be moved. It's just that the matter has come to this point, since the other party is biting tightly, then he has to fight to break the net!
He opened his mouth and shouted, "Old Ryan, the idea has come to the door, if you don't come out again, I'm afraid the reputation of this shop will be ruined!"
Before the words fell, a sigh came, and a slightly hunched middle-aged man walked out on crutches, followed by a big man with particularly thick arms and a kitchen knife.
"It's not good for you to come to the door, I've been open for many years, and I'm afraid I'm going to smash the signboard this time. ”
"Cut that guy is it!" said the chef coldly.
The innkeeper sighed and said nothing, but twisted and pulled his crutches into a pair of short guns.
He moved like a starting pistol, and the man drew a pair of daggers from his boots, and the maid pulled out a scimitar from under the counter.
In the face of these five robbers, the patrolman's face became more and more cold, but there was no fear, only a deep dead breath.
"Okay, I'd like to see how many of you are going to send a few men to die with me!"
He was so unscrupulous, but the robbers hesitated—as he said, to kill the patrolman, and he didn't know how many robbers he would bury with him. Most of the robbers are selfish, if there is a great benefit in front of them, they don't mind fighting desperately, but there is no great benefit in front of them, how can they be willing to fight hard?
At that moment, there was another sound of footsteps at the door of the hotel, and a bard with a harp on his back pushed open the door that had been hidden after the patrol had just entered, and entered.
The bard was not as good as an ordinary bard, so he glanced at them lightly, went straight to the corner opposite the panda and sat down, and said, "You do your thing, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
After speaking, he took out the dry food and gnawed it silently.
But being disturbed by him like this, the originally murderous situation suddenly eased a lot. The innkeeper sighed, and was about to speak, when he heard footsteps from upstairs, but it was the Baroness and the knight who had also come down—they had rested a little, and were now hungry, and had come to supper.
Interrupted twice, this battle really can't be fought again. The robbers weren't worried about the Panda Paladin's meddling - the Church of the Suffering God had an ambiguous attitude towards such things as "poor people for thieves", and often turned a blind eye, and most of them would not pay attention to it as long as they did not do evil in front of them—but the nobles and knights would definitely be on the side of the patrolmen.
Five fights and one win are sure, and five hits and four are sure to lose.
The patrolman did not want to do anything, and he pursued the robber who washed his hands of gold in order to seize the wealth and treasures that he had accumulated. If you fight at this moment, you can win, but those wealth and treasures will definitely be snatched away by the nobles, and you can only get a fraction of it at most.
Desperately for a huge sum of money, he was willing. Desperately trying for a little scraps of cold rice, he didn't want to.
So the two sides put away their weapons, the boss and the cook went back to cook, and the men and maids served hot water and soup to everyone to satisfy their hunger for the time being.
The dinner was fairly good, and the three nobles quickly went upstairs to rest, but the five robbers gathered in the hall downstairs to confront the patrolmen.
"I don't think you can fight, why bother spending like this?" The two sides confronted each other for a long time, and the panda finally couldn't help but speak, "You can't fight on one side, and the other side is reluctant to fight hard, so it's not a matter of consuming it like this." ”
His words hit the nail on the head, the two sides were entangled and disputed, it was a stalemate, and if it continued like this, no matter how long the confrontation lasted, it would not solve the problem.
"It's better to be like this, what kind of red goods do you have to fight for, let's discuss the number of points, discuss the price. How much is the price and how to divide the profits, just talk about it slowly. It's better than going on like this. ”
The two sides were already a little tired, and when they heard his words, they immediately found the next step, muttering "give face to this uncle" and muttering "It's not that I'm afraid of death", which finally ended the confrontation.
The confrontation is over, and the night is already late, this is a hotel, so everyone naturally finds their own rooms to rest.
Under the guidance of the man, the panda went to the room next to the stairs on the second floor to stay, he looked at the room that was still clean, nodded, and said to the guy who was about to leave: "Be careful tonight, there is death in this house, I am afraid that people will die tonight." ”
The guy was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "I stay in the hall at night, and I won't move around casually." ”
Panda smiled: "That's fine, be careful." ”
Of the five robbers in this hotel, this guy was probably the only one who was still worth saving, and he couldn't help but remind the other party when he saw that a mess was about to happen.
When the man left, he closed the door, but instead of lying down, he swung his fist and struck at a table next to him.
The fist was like the wind, and the table was suddenly pierced by a hole.
Panda nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
