CHAPTER XXII
Kazak laughed and scolded: "Stupid! Who told you to tie up Rhine? ”
Several of the robbers thought that Kazak had not yet perceived the danger, and they laughed knowingly. Kazak smiled and said to one of his nearest henchmen, "Let's go, let's go see our captive", and the subordinate of the second boss felt that victory was in sight, and the cat teased after catching the mouse: "Ah, my chief, I have seen our captive." ”
His humorous remark made the robbers laugh even more, and the stonemason's eyes were smiling into two slits, and the second master's wet face showed a playful smile.
Kazak walked over and patted the thief who was closest to him, and the thief looked back at the second master, whose mouth twitched, as if ready to speak. Kazak knew that the last chance to turn the tables came, and the thief captured the king first, if he could chop over this second master with one sword, he might be able to stabilize the situation while he was in the aftermath.
At this moment, Kazak adjusted his breathing, which was a habit left by Kazak on the battlefield.
Mental concentration. Heartbeat. Man and knife in one. Breathe.
At the moment when the second master gave the order, Kazak pulled out the waist knife of the person closest to him, and halfway through the draw, the knife jammed. Kazak kicked the bandit in the stomach with all his might, and the bandit fell backwards, with a knife in his hand, and pulled Kazak down with him. At this time, there was no need for the second master to give an order, and several bandits drew their knives and surrounded them, but the two people who looked at the dust on the ground had no idea where to start. The second master cautiously took a few steps back.
Kazak roared and punched the thief below him, causing the still dazed thief to daz. Kazak's roar gave him his own growing courage and rage, and in a wild impulse, Kazak's two thumbs like lead pillars pressed into the robber's mouth, and he pulled them sideways with all his might, all in a matter of seconds. With an ugly thud, like the sound of rags being torn apart, Kazakra shattered the face of the man beneath him, whose mouth looked horribly extended to the base of his cheek.
The bandit, whose face was shattered, was so frightened that he stood up and frantically tried to escape from the devilish Kazak. Several bandits looked at that face with a wave of fear and disgust, they knew that if they couldn't kill Kazak, maybe they would also have Kazak tear a big hole in his face. They gathered around, and Kazak picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground in the fight, and waved it feverishly. He repelled a few bandits who tried to get closer, and he counted where the nearest horse was, and he remembered that it was in a wooded area on the left, about 100 paces away. Too far?? But if he doesn't rush over, before his physical strength is exhausted, the courage he has been inspired will be exhausted, and a person who has been robbed of his will will be slaughtered like a coward.
Kazak screamed and ran between the two bandits, stabbing them as he knocked them apart. He continued to run forward, and rushed out more than 20 steps at once, except for a few people who were chasing him, the others began to take off the bows behind their backs, but their arrows were placed in the cave on the side, and one or two people began to run in and out with quivers. Kazak had already run to the side of an abandoned carriage by this time, he jumped behind the carriage, and after a second or so he heard a few arrows rattling on the carriage board, and he silently estimated the number of arrows in his heart, about ten of them were nailed to the carriage or passed by him with a whistling of tail feathers, he knew that the next round of bows and arrows was coming, he was estimating the time when those arrows were fired, and he had better run out when the arrows were fired, so that the arrows were aimed at this carriage, By the time the arrow arrived, he had already run a few more paces. He had to take advantage of the time difference. For a moment, he faintly heard the strings of arrows. He started running again, with another Kujit under his waist-------- Rhine.
Rhine was woken up in the afternoon by a loud noise, and the robbers themselves fought, far from the cave in Kazak. The robbers who had gathered in groups of threes and twos to be loyal to Kazak were purged, and all this was done without any sense of it. The second boss has been planning for a long time, but Kazak's henchmen don't know anything. This made nine of Kazak's henchmen passive. The remaining more than 10 thieves who swayed left and right chose neutrality under the coercion and temptation of the second master, and the second master promised that he would not take a penny of more than 3,000 ransoms this time, and all of them would be celebrated by the brothers. Stimulated by money, these people quickly forgot about Kazak's clear rewards and punishments and his charisma as a leader. They were silent all afternoon, watching Kazak step by step into a desperate situation. Rhine was washing the clothes of Kazak's nine henchmen while they were being caught, and she watched as they were beaten and bleeding from their noses and mouths and dragged away. She hid in a pile of dirty laundry. After the robbers dispersed, she crept to find Uncle Kazak. She could now basically distinguish between the factions within this group of good-looking bandits. She knew that those who had been knocked unconscious were Kazak's men, she knew that the care she had received during this time had been given to her by her fellow citizens, and now for the sake of her master, and even more so for herself, she had to find Kazak. But she didn't have a chance, she saw that the people around the cave of Kazak were all the same people who had just beaten people, and they were also looking for her, they knew that she had been doing laundry all afternoon, but now she was gone, and they were worried that something bad would happen to the Kugit imp. So in the cave of Kazak guards, waiting for the rabbit.
At this time, Kazak was resting in the cave, waiting for the report of the stonemason.
Rhine slipped out after it was dark and hid near the entrance to Kazak's cave, where there was an overturned abandoned carriage, and she hid in it, trying to wait until it was dark to get in and inform Kazak. She didn't dare go to my father and Wright, and she didn't dare to go anywhere now. In the evening, she carried the torch by the cave, and saw the stonemason go in for a long time, and then came out with a sword, and she watched the stonemason exchange words with some of the men in the leggings around her. Subsequently, Kazak came out, and Rhine was in a hurry, but he could not inform him. Kazak looked defenseless and soon began to laugh. While Rhine was anxious about what to do, Kazak suddenly knocked over a robber and tore the man's face open, and then Kazak rushed at him after a barely visible fight, and Rhine was stunned, this happened so quickly.
Kazak aimed at the carriage and rushed over, jumping beside her. Rhine saw Kazak, and Kazak saw Rhine. Before he could say anything, Rhine only whispered, "Uncle Kazak." At that moment, a dozen or so arrows were fired. As if the wind brought in by Kazak had not stopped, Rhine was swept into Kazak's arms and ran towards a forest.
Between the second and third rounds of the archery, Kazak was already almost in the woods. Before he could throw himself into the woods, one of the second master's arrows flew away from the string and into the night, heading for Kazak. I don't know if the final shot hit Kazak.
Soon after, the sound of horses neighing faded away. The second master's face turned white for a while, and several robbers on the side comforted the rotten-faced screaming monster.
The stonemason walked up to the second leader: "Chief, I think we can leave for the station." Until then, what about the comrades left behind by Kazak? ”
The second leader's white face suddenly surged with blood. He liked the title of stonemason, and the stonemason was getting more and more obedient. If it weren't for the fact that the stonemason was too rude, the second leader would almost want to spoil him and show his approval. If the stonemason knew that the reward mechanism of the second leader was this, it was estimated that he would swear allegiance to Kazak to the death, after all, what Kazak gave him was also very rich. But then again, "it is better to accumulate favor than to make a profit for a while", and the stonemason decided to betray Kazak after a conversation with the second master.
The second leader sneered: "It's useless for these people to stay, it's a pity to kill them." I've heard that Aberon has a Salander slave trader Zaitsev (Zaytsev, welcome newcomer~—~), let's go do business with him. I have heard that his price is fair, 50 dinars for each innocent slave and 20 dinars for no identification. Take these nine men to-morrow, and give them 200 dinars. ”
The stonemason pondered and smiled, "Yes." ”
That night, more than twenty robbers drove away with a small group of slaves to Abelon. Among their captives, one was worth 2,000 dinars; One is worth 1,000 dinars; The remaining nine are worth 20 dinars each. The robber with little culture sighed in his heart that life was inherently unfair.
In the town of Ebron, Ruda got out of the car with a few people he had just brought from Suno, he let the beggar sneak into the town to observe the pedestrians, and led the girls into the tavern. He went to the tavern owner to book a room, and the owner asked him how many he wanted, and he said he wanted the largest one. The boss said that there was one on the second floor, and Ruda asked him if he had anything more clean, and as he spoke, Ludanu motioned to the boss to look at his four companions, and the boss showed a knowing smile, but still said: "Unfortunately, the one on the third floor is undoubtedly very suitable for your needs, but it is covered." Maybe in a few days they will be able to check out. The boss said that he stopped here, smiled lewdly and said to Ruda, "If you can survive until that time, I can change the room for you." ”
Rueda pretended to be angry and asked who had chartered the best room.
The owner said it was a balding man.
Ruda remembered the words of Mullet Roe: "The person I contacted was a stonemason, and he was a bald man. ”
Ruda laughed, "Okay, I like bald people the most, so I won't worry about them."
But I made a lot of tricks at night, and I was so loud that you put me with most of your guests, and I was afraid to scare them away. Ruda's words made several girls around him giggle.
The boss smiled obscenely: "I swear, no." That would only attract more people to my hotel. We have a law in Svadia that you can do anything on your turf, do it! ”
Ruda was very satisfied, hugged a few beautiful Suno hostesses left and right, and walked up to the second floor with envious eyes. When Ruda attracted all the attention, several patrols from Su Nuo began to enter the tavern in groups of three or five to find seats and sit down, dressed as travelers, without arousing any suspicion at all. Outside the hotel, a few patrolmen disguised as merchants nodded to two beggars and hurried into the town at night.
If Kazak had been a man of his word, he would have left people in Ebron, and he himself would have appeared in Lurens to trade.
Ruda was a very careful man, and he himself led men to wait for the captives in Ebron, while Lurens arranged for the remaining patrols to capture Kazak.
In the tavern, the slave trader Zaitsev looked coldly at the swaggering boy: "Ah, damn the gentleman. Sell it to me for nothing, don't give it for money. ”
With that, Zaitsev took a sip of ale, smeared a thick sauce on his braised pig's feet, and put it in his mouth.
