The night may be deep, but Ajaccio has no shortage of sleepers.

Xicheng District, the headquarters of the dock workers' union.

"Shhhhh

One-Eye suddenly woke up from his bed and sat up alertly. The habit of licking blood and struggling on the death line every day makes the slightest movement make One-Eye vigilant.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the room, and then someone gently pushed the door open.

Through the moonlight projected from the window, One-Eye recognized that it was Ciro Russell, who pushed the door in, and even he had to retreat.

Ciro smiled and lit the candlestick, and asked with a seemingly caring feeling:

"How's the rest?"

One-Eye twisted his neck, snapping between his muscles and bones, and said, "I might have slept better if no one bothered me." ”

Ciro looked down and smiled, and quipped, "It's better than you stay in a dungeon." ”

One-Eye didn't speak, and glanced at Ciro by the dim candlelight, the fellow's mind as unpredictable as ever.

"That's right, I owe you this time." One-eye leaned back on the bed and sighed.

Although he didn't know what the consequences would be if he owed Ciro, One-Eye didn't want to stay in that dark, damp cell and get moldy.

"In that case, I need you to do me a favor." Ciro still smiled faintly, as if he had guessed that One-Eye would say that.

"Help? What are you going to do? One-Eye asked vigilantly, though he was simple-minded, but not to the point of stupidity. It's definitely not easy to get Ciro to say that he needs help.

"Lawrence Bonaparte is going to be angry when he knows that you and your men have escaped from the dungeon with such a swagger." Ciro abruptly turned the conversation to Lawrence.

"Hmph, you didn't mean to." One-eyed glanced at Ciro with three points and seven points of fear, and said:

"With your abilities, it's not easy to get me out quietly. Deliberately let me break out in broad daylight, not to disgrace that Bonaparte. ”

"Yo, the old saying in the East is really good." Ciro said with a little surprise:

"It's called..."Shibei should be impressed in three days", you squat in prison for a few days, but you squatted your brain smart."

One-eyed bared his teeth a little unpleasantly, and couldn't see Ciro beating around the bush here, so he said directly:

"What the hell are you going to help with?"

Ciro was a little more serious and analyzed:

"That Lawrence was slapped in the face, and tomorrow he will definitely come to Xicheng to find out your traces."

"So what, he still dares to find out if he can't come to the union headquarters." One-Eye waved his hand inappropriately.

"No, no, no," Ciro stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of his one-eyed nose, and said:

"I'm not going to harbor you, on the contrary, I want you to take the initiative to lead someone to attack Lawrence. Of course, not a single hair of mine is involved. ”

One-eyed couldn't help but exclaim: "You want me to attack and kill a Poly's cronies in the street?!" ”

Ciro buttoned his nails disapprovingly, and said:

"After escaping from prison, a fugitive led people to attack the commander who came to investigate. How natural it is, I'm sure it's happening somewhere in the world right now. ”

Seeing that One-Eye was still a little hesitant, Ciro stopped talking nonsense, and directly threatened:

"If you don't say yes... That's saving you in vain, so I might as well send you back to the dungeon before dawn. ”

One-Eye shuddered, and if anyone else said that, One-Eye would have taken it as a joke. But when these words came out of Ciro's mouth, One-Eye believed that he would definitely do what he said.

If I refuse, I'm afraid that when I open my eyes again, I will see the same darkness in the damn dungeon again.

"I see, I'm going to gather my men tomorrow morning." One-eyed closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the bed and said helplessly.

"Very good," Ciro nodded with satisfaction, and did not forget to ask as he left the room:

"Remember, don't get a hair out of me."

"I see, what are you doing with such a mystery, it's not that Lawrence kid can't guess." One-Eye muttered impatiently.

"Idiot!" Ciro shook his head again and again and said:

"Even if he knows that I instructed him, what I want is that I can't leave any open handles, understand!"

......

The next morning, since it was already past 2 a.m. when he returned home last night, Lawrence couldn't help but squint a little longer in bed. By the time he got up and dressed, Anna had already returned from a trip.

She wore a light yellow headscarf today, and when she entered the door, she had a large basket hanging from her arm, which was stuffed with fresh fruits and vegetables, and even stained with morning dew, which seemed to have been just picked.

Carrying the basket into the kitchen, Anna's expression was a little worried, and she said to Lawrence:

"Sir, is there something going on in the patrol? I heard people outside discussing. ”

Lawrence laboriously buttoned the sleeves and asked casually, "yes, what are you talking about?" ”

The one-eyed escape caused such an uproar was not surprising to Lawrence, after all, a murderer with blood on his hands had escaped from prison, and such a topic would always cause panic in the neighborhood.

Anna pushed her chin with her hand and recalled:

"Everyone in the market said they were going to close the stall early tonight, and they all said that One-Eye and his men had escaped from prison."

Lawrence slung a dagger and pistol to his waist, and although he was not really gifted in combat, he was always more comfortable with a weapon.

"Did they say anything else?" Lawrence was fully dressed, his clothes and equipment were fully dressed, and he continued to ask Anna.

"Hmm... That's right," Anna suddenly remembered, and said with a smile:

"As scared as everybody is, everyone believes that sir, you can bring One-Eye to justice soon."

Lawrence smiled wryly and shook his head, not knowing whether to be happy with the people's opinions, after all, he didn't have a clue about catching One-Eye.

In the patrol station, old Sean had already distributed the muskets and bullets and gunpowder, and twenty gunmen were neatly lined up in two lines.

With their crisp uniforms and shiny barrels behind their backs, they were at least as impressive as the Wehrmacht in Corsica.

However, Lawrence also knew that in terms of combat effectiveness, these patrols were not half a star worse than the regular army that had been in a hundred battles.

At Lawrence's special request, Ya'an, the young man with unlimited potential who had been rejuvenated last night, was also specially summoned to act with Lawrence.

Lawrence glanced specifically at Ya'an, who was standing behind him, the trace of cowardice that was still in him last night had completely disappeared without a trace, and now his eyes were as clear as ice, and he could not see a trace of confusion.

"Ya'an, you can still give up following me now. The price to pay for your goals may be unimaginable. ”

Lawrence put his hand on Yaan's shoulder and whispered.

Yaan's eyes were straight ahead, even though there was nothing there. His lips trembled slightly, and the voice he uttered was soft, but resolute:

"My vow has been made, and I will have nothing but atonement and revenge for the rest of my life, and I am willing to give everything I have for this."

Lawrence closed his eyes, took his hand off his shoulder, nodded heavily, then turned and ordered:

"All obey the order, march to the west city!"
