Chapter One Hundred and Four

They stayed in the town for two days. The guards began to think that it was better to find a local garrison to escort them. If there were a hundred and ten troops to escort him, no matter how bold that assassin was, he would never dare to come and pick up the tiger's whiskers.

But before the proposal could be spoken, it was privately rejected by several guards. They all had one thought in their hearts: the dignified Duke Tulip's guards couldn't protect the Duke in the face of a single-handed assassin, and they had to find local defenders to protect them.

Roddy stayed in the room for a long time that day, and when he came out, the gloom on his face was swept away. But they ordered them to stay in the town for two days, and to keep vigil outside no longer while they were staying.

Duck was actually lurking around Roddy and his party. Hide in an abandoned attic not far from where they stayed. In the past two days, he has been secretly observing the movements of Roddy and his party in the attic every day. Seeing that the other party is extremely guarded, no one is left to keep vigil every night, and he rarely goes out to do activities during the day. They were all hidden in the room, and all the daily necessities were sent in by people. For two days in a row, Duck didn't find any chance to start.

It's just that Duck is very patient, he is often in the grassland, in order to hunt a wolf, he can chase for seven or eight days, and he is not too tired to sleep in the open. This time, in the face of his enemy, he was even more energetic, and he waited patiently for the opportunity, not to mention two days, even if he waited for twenty days, he would not be irritable. Anyway, you Duke Tulip can't hide in this place for the rest of your life, right?

By noon on the third day, something strange had happened to Dark!

Seeing that the door of Duke Tulip's residence was open, Duck only thought that the other party was about to go out on the road, and two horses ran out, but they were the other party's guards. The two men rode out, and the two guards whipped their horses and went far south of the town. After waiting for a while, he saw two horses running out of the door, and the two guards rode away to the east of the town.

After waiting a little longer, he saw two guards running out of the courtyard on horseback, but they were heading north.

Duck was shocked in his heart, after all, he was only one person, and after hesitating for a long time, he still decided to calm down, anyway, there is nothing wrong with following Duke Tulip, right?

But seeing that in the afternoon, the guards who ran out during the day did not come back, which made the mystery in Dark's heart even thicker.

Just when Duck was restless, a carriage finally came out, and the remaining guards rode to the front and left of the carriage, hugging the carriage towards the south.

Duck gritted his teeth, waited for the carriage to go away, came out of the attic, hid his tracks, and followed from a distance.

Above, Darker obviously felt that the other party was advancing extremely fast this time. Duck sneered in his heart: What's the matter? Are you afraid to run?

With a slight sneer, Duck followed from a distance. I saw that the carriage in the distance was running faster and faster, and finally suddenly turned into it from a horizontal lower road.

Want to take the path and get rid of me? Duck sneered in his heart: I can catch up with even the most cunning wolves, let alone so many people!

Without thinking about it, he immediately followed.

Seeing a few horses and carriages in the distance running into a small forest, Duck followed, a little alert in his heart, watched from a distance for a while, and finally gritted his teeth, or quickly followed.

After running a few steps, the carriage was parked in the middle of the woods, and the guards were gone.

Duck frowned, and his heart was alert, and he hid behind a tree and carefully observed it for a long time. Suddenly, I realized in my heart: the other party abandoned the carriage and rode away quickly!

He had this thought in his mind, but he cautiously jumped up the tree, and then touched the tree from the tree, and slowly approached the carriage. When I got closer, I saw that the door of the carriage was wide open, and it was really empty!

Duck was startled, and whispered in exasperation, "What a tulip duke! The horse's hoof marks were carefully examined, but at first glance, they felt strange - it turned out that from the horse's hoof marks, these people were scattered in all directions and ran away!

Duck hated so much that he couldn't help but pull out his scimitar and slash at the carriage, turning pale with anger.

Just as he was getting angry, suddenly a voice came from a distance beside him: "Mr. Dark, are you looking for me?"

Duck turned around suddenly, and saw a person standing beside a tree in the distance in the woods, with an indifferent face, it was the Duke Tulip who wanted to kill him quickly!

Dark's heart jumped violently, and then he looked around, but his heart was cold!

I saw people standing in the distance in all directions, and these people were in groups of two, blocking all directions in all directions. With a long sword in his hand, he slowly pressed towards him.

Dark's face changed greatly, and he immediately took off the longbow on his back, pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow from the quiver, and shot it at Roddy, only to hear Roddy smile coldly from a distance, and then he just dodged behind the trunk next to him, and the arrow shot into the air. Duck was shocked and understood that this was a trap! The other party lured himself into the woods just to make his most powerful bow and arrow unable to swing! In the dense woods, the power of the arrow was greatly reduced!

Seeing that the guards around him slowly approached under the cover of the trees, the circle around them became smaller and smaller. Darker took a deep breath, threw away his longbow, clenched his cutlass tightly, and said loudly, "Come on!"

Many guards gradually walked in, and the encirclement had firmly trapped Duck in the middle, but they all stopped, just glaring at Duck through gritted teeth, just waiting for the Duke to give an order, they were about to rush up and chop this guy into pulp.

Roddy sighed, separated the crowd and walked to the front, looked at Dark, his face showed a trace of helplessness, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Darker, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Duck snorted coldly, slashed with the scimitar in his hand, and said loudly: "What nonsense!

Luo Di frowned, and said lightly: "All the way, Mr. Duck wants my life, and I have never taken the initiative to provoke the mud!"

Duck snorted fiercely, stared at Roddy and said fiercely: "I said I would kill you!

Roddy pondered for a while, looked at Duck's face, and frowned: "Mr. Duck, that day under the Watt Fortress, you said that you were old...... My father killed your brother. What the hell is going on? I've asked the old men in the army, but they don't seem to know you. Can you tell me what's going on?"

Dark's face changed suddenly, his eyes were full of resentment, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What are you asking for?"

Luo Di smiled faintly: "Anyway, you have saved my life." If it weren't for you, I would have died on the Northwest Grasslands. ”

"Okay!" Duck said fiercely: "It's not a big deal to tell you! My brother was a cavalry captain under your father's command back then! And my military rank in the army at that time was not very high, so naturally no one would know! Your father commanded the army and killed countless people, so naturally not much would care about the name of the younger brother of a small cavalry captain!"

"Oh?" Roddy nodded, then asked, "Then why did your brother die?"

Dark's eyes were red, and then he glared at Roddy and said fiercely: "In a battle, because the cavalry led by my brother delayed the arrival time stipulated by the duke, the other military camps suffered heavy losses...... In a fit of rage, the Duke had my brother court-martialed! Hmph! The time was delayed! But he refused to listen to my brother's arguments! The enemy kept intercepting small troops along the way, and my brother fought all the way with his troops for 200 miles before he arrived! But ...... But your father still said that he had violated the military order and punished him with death! Poor my brother, when he was dying, he was covered with blood after fighting with the enemy! He served the country and fought to the death, did this end up?"

At this point, Dark's voice choked, and his knife-sharp gaze stared fiercely at Roddy's face. Rand beside him was alert, and immediately slowly stood beside Roddy, clenched the big sword in his hand, and looked at Duck vigilantly, guarding against him.

Roddy's heart was gloomy, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He didn't know anything about the things back then, but he had been in the army these days, and he vaguely learned from Zig and others that the old Duke Tulip led the troops very strictly, and the military law was strict. Listening to Dark's words now, I'm afraid that most of them are true.

Luo Di has experienced so much flesh and blood, and he has already deeply understood the truth of "military orders are like mountains" and "mercy is not in charge of soldiers". Although he felt that the old Duke Tulip was too ruthless, the guilt of delaying the fighter plane should be beheaded, but there was no room for maneuver at all.

After a moment of silence, Roddy slowly spoke, "Mr. Dark...... You...... Let's go!"

"What?" Darker had not yet spoken, but Rand had already let out an exclamation.

Dark's face changed drastically, and he looked at Roddy with a gloomy face: "Duke Tulip! What tricks do you want! Or do you want to use any way to fix me?"

Roddy shook his head, waved his hand to signal Rand not to speak, looked at Duck and said lightly: "Mr. Duck, you saved me and my companion that day, speaking of which, I owe you two lives! That time under Watt City, you couldn't kill me, I let you go once, and I have already paid back your life! I will let you go again today, and from now on the two of us will not owe each other!"

Dark's face was cloudy, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You really let me go?"

Luo Di nodded and smiled: "Although you hate me to the bone, I don't hate you." Although you attacked me and injured several of my guards in the past few days, you did not hurt their lives after all, which shows that you are not a person who kills innocents indiscriminately. If you kill someone, I won't let you go today!"

Duck shook his head in disbelief, still with a fierce face, and said in a deep voice: "Duke Tulip!!Don't say such things! I tell you, even if you let me go, I will never let you go! If I find an opportunity in the future, I will still come to kill you!"

Roddy nodded, suddenly smiled, and said, "Mr. Dark, I let you go today, but you must promise me one thing!"

Before Duck could say no, Roddy preemptively said: "Within three years, you must not come to trouble me again! After three years, if I don't die, you can come to me, and I will give you a fair chance to fight!"

"What?" Darker sneered at this, and was about to say no.

Luo Di immediately said: "Dark! I say a word that I can't help myself, you are also a citizen of the empire! You should know that with my current identity in the empire's influence! At this time, the northwest steppe Rochenthal is eyeing the empire all the time! The cholera of the southern mountain tribes is non-stop! The northern Roland 6 is also gearing up! The wind is surging in all directions! A great chaos is coming at any time! At this time, if I die...... Think about the consequences for yourself! If the tulip is here, the imperial battle flag will not fall! The powerful enemies of the Quartet will not dare to rashly make trouble! As soon as the tulip battle flag falls, it will be a heavy blow to the empire! Instead, there will be a great chaos, and tens of millions of civilians will be plunged into the flames of war, and countless families will be disintegrated! Hmph! Duck, can you bear to stand by and watch coldly!

By the last few words, Roddy's face gradually became stern.

Dark's body shook violently, and then a confused look appeared in his eyes. Luo Di's voice smashed into his heart like a heavy hammer, his heart was extremely complicated, thinking of the consequences of Luo Di's words, cold sweat gradually came out on his forehead, and his face was extremely pale.

Roddy said coldly: "Mr. Dark, you are also a warrior! You also have a lot of blood! Can you bear to see those things raw?"

Suddenly looking up, Duck met Roddy's gaze and said loudly, "Duke Tulip, so what do you mean by three years? Can you solve all these problems in two years?"

Luo Di sighed on the surface and said slowly: "I don't know...... But let's do our best!" he secretly said in his heart: "I am afraid that three years? I am afraid that ten years will not be able to solve these problems! It's just that after three years, I will have long since quit this Tulip Duke, and I will be gone without a trace by then, so you can go to the real Tulip Duke for revenge!"

A look of determination flashed in Dark's eyes, and the scimitar in his hand was thrown to the ground, and he said loudly: "Okay! I promise you!" After speaking, he glanced at Luo Di again, and said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will break my promise?

Luo Di laughed loudly and said, "I look at people with my own eyes! If I see you wrong, then even if you are killed, you deserve it!" But he secretly said in his heart: You come again? I have already repaid your life-saving grace, and I am not welcome to arrest you, hum, kill one or two people, will I still be ruthless?

Duck nodded, didn't look at Roddy, turned and walked to the left. At Roddy's gaze, several of the guards moved out of the way and let Duck leave.

Duck walked away about a hundred paces, suddenly stopped, turned around and said loudly: "Duke Tulip! I'm afraid three years is not enough for those things! I'll give you ten years! I, Duck, have clear grievances! Not that kind of untrustworthy villain!"

Finish, stride on.

Roddy smiled wryly and thought, "Ten years?" Ten years later, you go to the real Seth for revenge! You hate Duke Tulip, but you let me carry this black cauldron......

Someone who was far away in the imperial capital felt a chill in his back in his sleep, and then turned over and fell asleep again.

[It's a new week, everyone smashes tickets......]
