Chapter 39: Ambush
Quake saw Captain Roger's drunkenness and knew that it was almost done with a little more effort, so he quickly filled Captain Roger's wine glass, a full glass of 'Heart of Fire'. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Captain Roger was not pretentious, under the gaze of the three of them, he picked up the wine glass and gestured slightly to the three of them, and then drank all the wine in the glass directly.
With a "grunt", the liquor was in his stomach, and Captain Roger's face immediately swelled with a blush, and it took a long time before he exhaled.
"Good wine, good wine! Captain Roger slapped the table and said loudly.
Quake, who was on the side, hurriedly poured the wine full, and in this way, under the teasing of the three of Quake, Captain Roger had already eaten several glasses of 'Heart of Fire', and the whole person was lying on the table in a daze, and he didn't know what he was scolding and swearing.
"Captain Roger, I heard that the caravan was targeted by the thieves this time, and Lord Ewing seems to have changed the route of the caravan in order to avoid the attack of the thieves, I wonder if there is such a thing?" Looking at Captain Roger, who was already drunk and muttering on the table, Quake rolled his eyes and asked deliberately.
"Yes...... Yes, yes, the caravan was targeted by a group of thieves called 'Storm Bear' in Lucca Province for some reason, and Lord Ewing was assassinated some time ago, but fortunately there was Knight Aino present at that time, and Lord Ewing was in danger. So, considering the danger of the Red Rock Canyon, Lord Ewing and the Knight of Aino, after discussion, decided to take a different route by water, from the Serra River next to the town of Luther, down the river and through the Kra Mountains. I heard that some of the local specialty goods collected along the way in the caravan have been sold by the old butler Martin one after another. Moreover, the caravan has already sent a group of people to Luthor Town to buy wood for rafts, so the caravan has been a bit understaffed recently, so it has been mixed into the warehouse by outsiders. In the end, it seemed that Captain Roger remembered today's heartwarming incident again, and the already inaudible words began to curse again.
"Whew!" finally came up with some useful information, and the three of Quake were overjoyed. The three of them then kept knocking on the side, asking some more secret questions about the caravan, especially about the route of the convoy after the reroute. Captain Roger seemed to be really drunk, and in addition to answering the questions of the three Quakes, he also gave a clear answer to which slave maid in the caravan he had had an affair with, which maid he had peeked at taking a bath, and why he was dissatisfied with Samuel Knight. When the three of them heard this, they were still suspicious, for fear that there would be fraud in it, so they completely dispelled it.
Seeing that the banquet was almost underway and that everything he needed to ask was already in hand, Quake immediately pouted to Shaq and Yuri, signaling that they could help Captain Roger back.
"Captain Roger, I'm almost done with this wine, can I help you go back to rest?" Yuri whispered as he put his head into Captain Roger's ear.
"Go back to something, come, drink again. Captain Roger lay down on the table, waved his hand in confusion and muttered, then turned his head back to sleep.
Looking at Captain Roger, who was about to fall asleep, Yuri and Shaq had to hold one of Captain Roger's arms and frame him, and this time Captain Roger was very cooperative and was taken away by the two. It didn't take long for Captain Roger to be sent back to his tent, and he snorted after a while as he looked at Captain Roger, who was drunk on the bed.
"Phew!" Shaq snorted hard at Captain Roger on the bed, as if venting his past frustrations.
"Hurry up, don't be troubled, Boss Quake is still waiting for us. Yuri, who was on the side, hurriedly grabbed Shakdao, for fear of making another moth. Shaq also knew that it was an extraordinary time, and the two immediately left Captain Roger's tent.
Not long after Yuri and Shaq left the tent, Captain Roger, who was asleep on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and there was still a bit of drunkenness just now, which was clearly pretended. Looking at the direction in which the two were leaving, a sneer appeared on the corner of Captain Roger's mouth.
What departs three days later, what passes through the town of Cather, then to the town of Tulu, and finally through the town of Luther. These are all deliberately told by Knight Aino to Captain Roger and to the three Quakes. and told him to cooperate well in a good play, otherwise with Captain Roger's alcoholic temperament, how could he get drunk so easily, and he also prepared Master Anduin's hangover medicine in advance.
A day later, the thieves' spies arrived as promised, and once again came to the Quake trio's residence, but this time not just one, but two people pretending to be fruit and wine vendors.
"This is our three leaders, Lord Robin. The spies of the thieves pointed to the handsome blonde man beside him. Hearing the spy's words, the three of Quake were shocked, secretly thinking that this person was so bold that he dared to take risks alone, and the three of them hurriedly got up to say hello, after all, after the matter was completed, they would have to eat under other people's hands, so Quake was not too angry.
"Rank, you go out first, and I'll talk to the three brothers alone. Robin nodded at Rank.
"Okay, three, this is Brother Quake, Brother Yuri, Brother Shaq. Since you plan to come out and fight with us 'Storm Bear', now is the time to show sincerity, I wonder if the three brothers have heard any useful news in the past few days?" Robin asked straight to the point.
"I don't know, what are the benefits of our three brothers after helping you succeed? What is your status in the group? If you just go to run errands and serve tea and water, with all due respect, my three brothers are not that interested. Quake didn't answer Robin's question directly, but asked for a favor.
Listening to Quake's words, Robin's pale blue eyes flashed brightly, his eyes stared straight at Quake who was speaking, very sharp, Quake looked at him without fear, for a while, when the atmosphere became more and more subtle, even Shaq and Yuri on the side thought that they were going to talk about it, Robin suddenly chuckled.
"I heard Ranke say that Brother Quake is also a mid-level knight and used to be an officer in the army, since this is the case, then I will make the decision to let Brother Quake be the four leaders of the regiment, and the other two brothers will follow you, I don't know what Brother Quake thinks?"
Listening to Robin's words, Quake's eyes narrowed slightly, and he thought for a long time, as if he was discerning the truth of the other party's words, before nodding in agreement.
"Well, since Robin's leader thinks so highly of Quake, then Quake is the leader of the four. ”
"In that case, those three brothers are their own people, can you tell me some specific news now?" Robin looked at Quake and smiled, not urging, looking very calm.
"Of course, since the Robin leader is anxious to know, how dare Quake hide his secrets. Quake then told Robin what he had heard from Captain Roger, as well as the few words he had collected from the others.
Robin listened to Quake's words, pondered for a long time, and then asked the three of Quake over and over again about the unclear points, and seemed very patient. Quake also knew that the other party was cautious by nature, for fear that there would be fraud in it, so he also took the trouble to explain. After most of the day, Robin finally ended the questioning, and seemed to have determined that what the three Quakes said was true, which made the three Quake angry, and the half day just now was more tiring than a real fight.
Seeing that the three of them were about to be amnesty, Robin chuckled and said, "The three brothers, don't be idle, this time is about me and your future, if it happens, the three brothers will be human beings in the future, and everything that once existed no longer exists, so I can't help but be careless." ”
"Of course, we can still tell the priority of the matter, and the leader of Robin only asks, since the three of us brothers have decided to join the thieves, then we will not hide our secrets. Quake quickly laughed.
"Okay, I've basically confirmed that the news that the three brothers said is true, and now there is only one problem left, that is, for the sake of insurance, the three of you must have one of you to come to the group as a hostage, so that I can rest assured, this is not a shocking scam you have laid out, I think the three brothers should be able to understand. Of course, you can choose not to go, then I will treat this transaction as a failure, if you want to betray me now, I believe that before I am caught, at least one or two of you can be pulled on the back, and in the future, 'Storm Bear' and a few others will not die. Robin said with a relaxed face, but his words were very decisive.
Listening to Robin's words, the faces of the three of Quake changed a few times, and finally Quake spoke, "Shaq, you escape first tonight, Yuri and I cooperate with you, and it just so happens that a group of caravan personnel have been transferred away." ”
Shaq's face changed, and he stopped talking, but finally didn't say anything, and agreed with Quake's words.
"In this case, then I and all the brothers in the regiment will wait for the Shaq brothers tonight, and it is not appropriate to stay here for too long, arousing suspicion, so we will leave first, and the others will act according to what we just agreed. Robin smiled and turned to leave.
Looking at Robin's departing back, the three Quake fell silent. For a moment, Quake seemed to want to lighten the mood.
"Shaq, the reason why I let you go is because you don't have so many scheming, and it's easier to convince the other party, and the three of us must not disappear at the same time, otherwise Knight Aino and Captain Roger will definitely notice something, so I have to wronged you first, but as long as things go well, you will not be in danger, on the contrary, you are safer than me and Yuri. ”
"Okay, I'll go, I'll go, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to sneak out at night, even if the caravan is undermanned, but the guards at night are even tighter than during the day. When Shaq heard Quake's words, he finally had to agree. But thinking about the defense of the whole camp at night, it seems that it is not so easy to escape, and if it is discovered, it will be in vain. The Storm Bears thieves will never trust them again.
"It's okay, who said you have to sneak out at night, during the day the camp is full of people, and a person disappears, and no one will notice it for a while. Quake smiled strangely, as if he had already made up his mind.
