Chapter 4: The Whisper of the Wolf and the Witch

Staggering out of the warehouse, even the sunlight made Emmiway feel particularly uncomfortable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Another person rushed over, and according to the time calculation, he was probably the last living person in the family.

"I'm fighting with you!"

Rushing out was a bloodied adult male, armed with a woodcutter, and he seemed to see the little boy lying outside the warehouse shake up and swing the hatchet at Emmyway.

The prey is already a desperate person, and only in this case will Emmiway take it seriously.

With two horizontal slashes in a row, Emmivi saw the opportunity and slashed the man in the back.

The man, who was already wounded, staggered a few steps and leaned against the wall panting for breath. The blood made the man extremely angry, as if he was about to burst out at any moment with the last bit of strength.

With a whoosh, a sharp arrow hit the man's chest, causing the man to lose his last breath.

"Li Ying, what's wrong?"

Turning her head to see the murderous killer Li Ying, Emmiwei seemed to have guessed a bad outcome.

"The king is dead. The man pierced his left lung. ”

The young man named Li Ying rushed to the man's body with a kitchen knife after speaking. Knife after knife, Li Ying, who was affected by anger, kept slashing at the corpse in front of him. Emmivi finally calmed down and slowly walked to the living room.

As soon as I walked in, I saw Mahmoud and two Mongolian robbers roaring inside, saying something, and I could guess that they were passing the buck to each other without asking. In any case, every killer is a killing tool directly under Guka, because it is very humiliating to lose one on a patrol.

"It's hopeless. The wound hurts the lungs and a lot of blood goes into the wound unless the miracle doctor is reborn. Elith stopped bandaging with the other killer, and at their feet lay the king. After Elias said this, he stabbed Wang Min in the heart. Wang Min, who was still holding on in pain, poured out of his mouth with a mouthful of blood foam, and then died of breath. This boy, who was only fourteen years old, struggled to death with an unwilling expression.

"Anyway, this has nothing to do with me! Yes, this kid did it himself! He didn't look behind him, and he was poked in the lung, who is to blame!" Mahmoud seemed to have found an excuse to explain, and the gloom on his face was half gone. "Remember, say so. Mistress Guka doesn't blame us. ”

Seven men then collected sixteen bodies and buried them all in the woods. Killers such as Emmiwei are very skilled in this, and they have been doing rough work since they were seven or eight years old.

After disposing of the blood stains in the house, Mahmoud lay on the cover of the master bedroom. "You guys go cook, and by the way, see if there is any wine in this house. ”

Mahmoud's "you" naturally did not include Elis, and the other two robbers had a lower status, so they had to run to kill chickens and sheep to get food. Although Li Ying and the other killer were not happy to serve Mahmoud, they also followed the two robbers under the signal of Eli's eyes.

"It's remote, but you can't stay long. Be sure to leave tomorrow morning. ”

Faced with Eli's suggestion, Mahmoud, who was resting on the bed, was unimpressed. "Okay, I'll get some sleep first. Call me when the meal is ready. ”

There are only two left, Emmivi and Eliza, it's not that Emmivi wants to be lazy, she basically has no ability to take care of herself, if she is hungry, she can even eat raw meat, and the others know this, and they don't expect her to cook dark food.

Everything was watched by Emmiway, who followed Elith out of the farmhouse, and the two of them seemed to patrol the surroundings.

"Alright, Elis, what kind of medicine are you selling in your gourd, why didn't you save Wang Min, he is our kind anyway. ”

"Kind?" Elith paused, sneering. "Don't be naΓ―ve, Emmy, who do you think poisoned the food you eat in your cell? The Mongols are not as stupid as they think, and Wang Min, this kid, stupidly listened to their orders and killed you. Count your fate, you didn't get poisoned. ”

In fact, it was poisoned. Emily naturally won't say this, but she doesn't feel guilty about Wang Min. "Don't get off the hook. What does it matter to you whether I live or die? You just watched Wang Min die for this reason?"

"You're a stupid woman. No, maybe that poor nourishment has gone somewhere else. Elias looked around, then stared at Emmivi and said, "You shouldn't remember what I said today." I said, what if...... If ......"

As if tempted, Emmivi wondered what Eliza wanted to make him decide to woo her.

"If you have the chance, would you like to leave the earthen fort?"

Absolutely shocking question, Elias, who is obviously not low in status in the earthen fort, would actually say this. Emmiway wondered if she was in her sanity.

"What are you tempting me to do?"

"No, not a temptation. It's just a possibility to tell you, a possibility after success. I'm not kidding, and it's not like Guka wants me to test you. I just want to have one more partner to act with. ”

"One more person to do your job?"

In the face of Emmivia's taunt, Elias laughed it off. "Of course, you can't leave the earthen fort alive, but do you want to give it a try? Continue to stay in the earthen fort? You are a woman, and you should think about your future life. You don't plan to find a Mongolian robber to start a family, do you? There's no freedom in the earthen bunker, we're all working for a bunch of outlaws, will it end well?"

"That's better than dying right away. No matter how good you are, how many Mongols can you kill? The earth fort itself is a fortress stronghold, and if Guka exports a few of them, you are dead!"

"I, Elise, seem to be someone who doesn't know what to do? You get it? Even if you continue to work for Guka, you're just going to die in the valley with them. ”

If anyone can eliminate hundreds of bandits and a fortress stronghold, then only the current Ming Dynasty army.

"The earth fort is burning, killing and looting here, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty don't know? They just don't want to cause trouble, and they don't bother to care about the lives and deaths of the people in the border areas. ”

"Then why did they fight the idea of the earth fort this time?"

Elias already knew that Emmyway had taken the bait, and after a moment of thought, he explained why. "Chen Yanhong, you know, right?"

"Elder Murda's concubine. What's wrong?"

"Heh, her father is now the chief of the guard, and her father alone has two thousand armored soldiers under his hands, and with a few city troops, he can't step on the earthen fort?"

"I can't believe the woman's words. ”

Although Emmiwei did not understand the army structure of the Ming Dynasty, she estimated that if this happened, she would be able to see the spectacular scene of nearly 4,000 people attacking the earthen fort.

"His father's men have met with me a few times. If you don't believe, I'll do as you please. ”

To believe or not to believe is not something that can be decided by tossing a coin. Emmiway didn't want to die again, or rather, she was afraid of death. If it weren't for the miracle, a dozen souls from another time and space would have merged into her body, and Emmivi would have been reduced to rotten flesh and bones at this time. The thought of not wanting to die was deeply ingrained in her newly fused soul, and it was also an instinct that she had to follow at the moment, and her body could not be completely controlled by her.

"What do I need to do?"

There was another very important thing, which was also deeply ingrained in Emmyway's soul, and although she couldn't remember it, it was obviously not something that could be accomplished by staying in the earthen fort. She shouldn't be on the land of China.

"First of all, I don't care about Chen Yanhong's life or death. ”

"Of course, I didn't expect her to let us people go when she returned alive. I'll give you a specific plan later. ”

As Amiwei guessed, people like Elias are thoughtful, and they would not have expected Chen Yanhong to cross the river and tear down the bridge. In other words, the army of the Ming Dynasty will let go of a group of murderous maniacs before it is suspicious. At such times, there is still a pitiful trust left between the same kind.

"Eliez, I have a question. Why do you want to leave?"

"My fate doesn't belong here, you don't need to know anything else. ”

Fate?Such a mysterious thing, Emily doesn't believe it, she only recognizes what can be seen with the naked eye, smelled with the nose, touched by the hand, and what is really in front of her. For example, the two black beads in Elias's hand were blackened throughout, like pills from artificial hands.

"What is this?"

"Oriental Japanese stuff -- smoke bombs. That's what my people call it, and when you hit the ground, you can get a room full of soot, and maybe you'll use it. ”

"For me?"

Emmiwei was not polite, and hurriedly accepted the two strange projectiles.

"Let's go, don't arouse the suspicion of others. ”

――――

Due to Mahmoud's change of mind, the whole patrol mission became anticlimactic, and if Eli hadn't gone to the town alone to steal a few bags of silver, they would have gone back without being ridiculed by others. Mahmoud seemed eager to get back to the bunker and stop having anything to do with the troublesome killers he saw as a hitch.

In the April season, less than two months after the Spring Festival, most of the caravans are still in the preparation stage, not to mention that the rumors of demons here in Tubao have also begun to flow into the ears of outsiders.

But Emmiway didn't care, and on the way back, she kept thinking about the task Elias had given her.

If you want to get out of the castle, a few killers alone are obviously not enough, outside support is one thing, and finding a suitable escape route is more important.

Elias had already designed a relatively safe route, and all Emmivi had to do was keep an eye on the castle's outposts for the next few days. The elders don't have much power anymore, and the real voice of the castle is Guka, and he is the only one. If it is possible, it is better to use Guka's life as a threat to escape from the castle, and this is Eli's job.
