CHAPTER XIII
Cut a hundred slices of meat?!
The robber exclaimed, "I... I have no grudge against you, how can you be so cruel and !! to me like this"
Edmund felt ridiculous when he heard this, this robber had never seen him soft when he killed people and oversold goods, and now he has become a prisoner and says that others are cruel.
He looked at the robber kneeling on the ground and said, "I don't have the energy to spend it with you, so let's try the sharpness of the knife in my hand now." ”
The robber shuddered, and he glanced at Edmund with trepidation, and saw that the guy in front of him didn't look like he was joking.
At this time, his mouth was dry, and he forcibly swallowed a mouthful of spit, and said in his heart: "This master, if you are willing to let the villain go, the villain must be what you ask and I will answer." ”
Edmund didn't expect that the person in front of him was quite slippery, he didn't remember that he had promised to release him, and he dared to be surrounded by the robber in a few words.
Edmund didn't answer, he beckoned to the soldier commander and said, "Come and watch him, I'll go and save people first." ”
"Okay!" said the captain, striding forward, drawing his steel knife from his waist and swinging it a few times, and then resting it on the robber's shoulder.
The robber was confused, he really didn't know what Edmund wanted, but now he had to talk less anyway.
Edmund had already arrived at the carriage, and he asked Kaz to cut the chains on the cage, and then he jumped into the carriage and opened the prison door without hesitation.
Two women were trapped in the cage in the carriage, they snuggled up to each other but there was no movement, and Edmund's heart tightened, thinking that this man could not be already dead, right?
Edmund arrived in the cage and separated the two women, then hurried to see if they still had snort.
It's a pity that one of the women has died, apparently due to hunger and cold, but fortunately the other is still alive, but looking at her current condition, I am afraid that she will not live long if she does not hurry up and treat her.
Edmund leaned over and picked up the woman who was still alive and stepped out of the cage, and Kaz hurried to pick it up when he saw it.
Edmund jumped out of the carriage and said to Katz, "It's up to you to save people, it's best to save them." ”
Kaz didn't speak, just nodded, and then walked quickly to the fire with the man in his arms.
Edmund only then remembered Tedda, and said to Tedda, who was fine, "You also go and help Kaz, it's important to save people." ”
Teda shook his head and said, "You actually asked me to save people?"
Edmund persuaded: "Don't care about your identity at this time, I have to be busy interrogating the robber, go quickly, my good cousin." ”
Teda snorted, a little reluctant, but walked over to Kaz.
Edmund also came to the bandit, he directly took out a short knife and pointed it at the robber's face: "I don't want to threaten you, but only one of the people you have robbed is still alive, but I don't know if he can survive, so ......"
The robber felt extremely uncomfortable when he was pointed at with a knife, and when he saw Edmund suddenly pause while speaking, he subconsciously asked, "So... So what?"
Edmund said, "So I don't think a hundred pieces of flesh should be cut off of you, but a thousand!"
The robber trembled, thinking that a hundred pieces were not enough and a thousand pieces, it was really not as good as being stabbed.
"Leave me alone, let me go!" exclaimed the robber and begged for mercy, "I'm just a handyman!
"Stop!"
Edmund interrupted, "You can't be these women, right?"
The robbers kowtowed like pounding garlic, and cried: "Yes, yes, they are goods..."
Edmund was shocked: "Don't kowtow yet, get up and talk back." ”
The robber stood up tremblingly and bowed to Edmund: "It's a time of war, and the chaos in various places has long been out of order, even if they don't get taken captive, they won't end well, and they will still be sold by their parents in the end......"
Edmund asked, "What's your name?"
The robber quietly looked at Edmund: "The villain's name is Ulu, seeing that the little general is wearing the clothes of the Imperial Capital Forbidden Army, he may not have been to our poor country, and he doesn't know much about us, so he feels strange, now women in this world can sell, and boys can also sell." ”
Ulu suddenly said with a bitter face: "Everyone wants to live a stable life, the villain is also forced to be like this, even if there is a little way to live, who is willing to do this kind of immoral business, the little general please spare me, I... I swear I will repent!"
After listening to Uru's remarks, Edmund did feel incredible, he knew that there might be some tragedies in the war now, but even if the south of the country was chaotic, it would not be possible to sell sons and daughters, and besides, the south was close to other countries, and the border trade alone would generate a lot of taxes, so it was common sense that the people here should not be too poor.
The old fritter of the soldier chief was a little tired, and he patted Ulu on the shoulder with a steel knife and asked, "You said that you are a handyman, so who is your master?"
"This ......"
Ulu couldn't say why, and when the soldier commander saw this, he felt that there was a joke, thinking that this kid must have a lot of secrets not to say......
The soldier commander inadvertently smiled slyly: "Your Highness, let's kill him, it's useless to keep this kid, if Your Highness wants to investigate this matter, I have a way." ”
Edmund was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, does this soldier captain really have a way?
Although he had doubts, he still said in passing: "I think it's okay, in short, your identity has been exposed by calling me Your Highness, so please trouble you to cut it with a knife." ”
The soldier commander didn't expect His Highness to cooperate with him so much, he slapped Ulu's back with the steel knife in his hand, and said coldly: "I can't kill many people, and I don't have more than you, besides, you should thank me, if it weren't for me, our Highness would have cut off a thousand pieces of flesh from you." ”
Edmund was disappointed and said, "Let's cut it with a knife, and it can be regarded as a pleasure for him." ”
Uru looked blankly at the sharpening soldier and then at Edmund, who was a little disappointed, and then came to his senses and shouted, "Not happy!
Edmund's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Then cut the meat, and it will be a thousand!"
Ulu Khan's hair stood up, and his heart seemed to be tightly entangled by something, so he desperately begged for mercy: "Yes... It's the Marquis of Giles!!"
"Huh?" Edmund thought the name was familiar, but he couldn't remember for a moment who this Gilles was.
The soldier commander reminded: "My Highness, don't you know who the town king is here to crusade against this time?"
Edmund was reminded by the soldier commander and suddenly realized: "I see, I didn't expect it to be him." ”
The soldier chief was a little embarrassed: "Anyway, Gilles is also a relative of His Highness, and you don't have any impression." ”
Edmund looked a little embarrassed, and then said, "What kind of relatives, are really relatives still making trouble?"
Edmund didn't wait for the soldier chief to speak, and turned his face to look at Uru: "Where are you going to send these people you have stolen?" ”
Uru was now Edmund asked whatever he asked, and he replied, "Send it to the Chamber of Commerce in the city." ”
Edmund thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask Uru for you tomorrow." ”
Uru was dumbfounded and pointed at himself with his index finger: "Me?"
