Chapter 7: The Careful Thoughts of the Leader of the Thieves

Unfortunately, Tamu was also unable to come up with a commission in exchange for goods, and merchants who came out to trade with merchants usually did not bring a large amount of money on the road if they already carried goods. This is a very pragmatic approach, if you encounter a robbery on the road, you will be unlucky to send the goods. Wouldn't it be even more than worth the loss if you lose a lot of money?

In the end, however, our merchant was able to pull away the goods, for which he made a convincing promise that he would give him a thank you gift as soon as he sold the goods.

After Mayfi sent off the merchant who had repeatedly thanked him. Aman and Yin have also returned to the mercenary group, and the merchant group of Tamu no longer needs their protection for the time being, but they must immediately organize some men to receive the captives who are still under the guard of the knights. For the rest of the journey, they will be tasked with guarding the thieves. It was not easy to get these thieves of more than two hundred people to arrive in Bishui City honestly and without trouble along the way, after all, the number of these people was three or four times that of them.

Aman was going to gather a few captains to discuss the countermeasures, and they had already planted them once in the hands of this group of thieves. If there is a fork in their hands again this time, then Aman, the mercenary leader, will be the end.

After the cameras left, Mayfield and a few of her guards planned to meet the thief leader, who was still asleep. He had heard a lot of interesting things from the ringleader's henchmen last night, and he didn't mind letting Mr. Victor live if the conversation went well.

————————————————————————————

When Victor came to his senses again, a young man with black hair sat in front of him, smiling and looking at him, while several knights guarded him.

Victor's first thought at this time was that he had met a nobleman, these guards were no more than the ordinary garrisons he usually dealt with, and this beautiful outfit alone could make him awe-inspiring, which was only a few of the great lord's guards could handle.

Where is this?

Just as he tried to stand up, he found that his hands and feet had been bound by ropes. So he paused for a moment and began to think back to his previous memory.

He remembered drinking some alcohol before losing consciousness and that there was a lot of movement outside. He thought it was the peasants under him who were still making trouble, and then he seemed to see the black-haired chick in a daze...

Then, he quickly contacted the sturdy rope on his body and the nobleman in front of him. Then a terrible conclusion was made———— he was probably captured by enemy reinforcements!

Before Victor could fully recover, Mei Fei had already opened the conversation: "Your name is Victor, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord. Victor looked left and right, and replied hesitantly. Thinking of the aristocratic guards in front of him and the fact that he had been captured, the leader of the thieves immediately realized that something was wrong with the situation at this time. He could be sure that without him in command, the rabble he had attacked was no match for these knights.

"So, Victor, do you understand where you are now? ”

"Don't, don't kill me. ”

Although the young nobleman did not have any expression on his face when he spoke, Victor was so frightened that he did not dare to breathe hard. If a leader of thieves like him fell into the hands of a local lord, he would normally be sent to the gallows. Of course, this is already the most painful way to die, if you meet those cruel nobles, it will make him worse than dead...

"Do you think saying such things will keep you alive? Mayfield laughed suddenly, he needed to put the leader of the thieves to a good test now.

Victor had planned to beg for forgiveness and probe the nobleman's tone first. But now the smile on the young nobleman's face made him shudder, and he immediately understood that this nobleman was not a young master who was not deeply involved in the world and was easy to deceive, which made his already lucky psychology suffer a huge blow.

"I am willing to give you all my possessions. Victor lowered his head, trying to save himself with the little money he had scraped.

"Do you mean what you've earned all these years as a bandit?" Mayfy's smile widened, "Before you woke up, that henchman who was drunk by yourself before had already taken my people to get it." Now they should be on their way back. ”

Victor's face turned pale, although he was extremely unwilling to believe it. can see these cruel realities in front of him, he is almost certain that his group of thieves has been destroyed, otherwise the mourning dog will definitely not betray him so quickly.

It's a pity that he has long been too busy to take care of himself now, and it is not his turn to worry about the situation of the thieves. At this moment, how to save his life is the most practical idea. He cautiously raised his head to look at the young man, and began to ponder the nobleman's intentions, and tried to gain some opportunities for himself: "I know some bands of thieves nearby, do you need me to convince them to surrender to you and serve you?"

"Oh?" Mayfield looked at the thief with some surprise, and the guy's mind turned quickly. But he immediately shook his head and rejected the suggestion: "Instigating me to collude with the thieves, do you want to ruin my reputation?"

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Victor's back for a moment, and he could even feel that his neck had begun to chill slightly because of the resistance of the blade, and he hurriedly defended himself: "My lord, I definitely didn't mean that!"

Victor couldn't understand what this nobleman who suddenly appeared in Koria County and defeated them with a thunderbolt was sacred. As far as he could remember, there was absolutely no young nobleman in the neighborhood who had such a physical characteristic. And generally speaking, it is not too unusual for nobles to collude with thieves to do something unclean. After all, for some dirty work, the thieves are the most suitable candidates.

Mayfield quickly withdrew his smile, he certainly understood Victor's thoughts.

But the leader of the thieves didn't understand, or rather ignored it selectively. Lords with large territories may keep a bandit or two in captivity. But things like colluding with thieves that insult their identities and violate the laws of the empire, those big lords don't need to do it themselves. He only needs to arrange two informants as agents to take care of everything, and he can achieve his goal without fear of revealing things in the future.

"That's good. Mayfield only glanced at Victor in a normal tone, not paying attention to what he had said earlier. I thought about it to myself and didn't continue to ask questions.

Victor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and didn't dare to guess anymore. But he knew that if this nobleman had nothing to ask for from him, or something to do for him, his life would not be saved. But if he just wanted to dispose of him, the nobleman didn't have to come to see him himself. Thinking of this, he raised his head slightly and glanced at Mei Fei hopefully.

"My lord, please tell me if you have anything to do. ”

Mayfield made up his mind, and he looked at Victor, who had calmed down. It could be said that the leader of the thieves was a very qualified candidate, so he opened the conversation again.

"I heard from your subordinates that you used to be an officer. He was expelled because he disobeyed his lord, didn't he?"

"It's... Yes. Victor froze, he didn't expect this nobleman to suddenly mention these things, his eyes suddenly became a little confused: "At that time, I was an officer made by Kavanar..."

"Well, that's enough. Mayfield interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "As for your story, let's talk about it later." ”

"So, what does the Lord mean?" Victor looked up, a little puzzled.

"I can clear your name, and even make you an officer again. Speaking of this, Mayfi paused deliberately, and waited for Victor to digest the information before continuing: "But these are not without a price. ”

Mayfield said unpleasantly, and at this time Victor stared at him with wide eyes, for fear of missing a word. He was convinced of what Mayfe had said, and if a nobleman was willing to clear his name, even if he was really heinous, he would be able to clear the wanted warrant for him, not to mention that many of the charges he had been charged with were unwarranted.

The thief leader's reaction seemed to be approved of by Mayfei, who thought for a moment and continued, "A few days later, I set off for Blue Water City. ”

"If you want to continue listening, then you can come to me in Blue Water City within a month. If you don't come during this time, I will assume that you have given up this opportunity. In the same way, if you come and can't give me a satisfactory reply, then you don't want to leave the city again. ”

After speaking, before Victor came to his senses, Mayfield walked outside with the guards, and whispered to the guards beside him as she walked out: "I will put him in a box and find a time to take him outside." ”

For Mayfei, the life and death of this leader of thieves did not matter. Even if Victor had escaped and had not been heard from at all, he would have lost a candidate. But if Victor is willing to die for him, then everything will go much better.
