Chapter 11 The Unpredictable
Masei led the troops all the way back in the direction of Lilisa's house. His troops marched on foot, so they were much slower than when he came. Along the way, he and his troops attracted many onlookers. Masei was embarrassed by them, after all, he didn't want to appear too flamboyant. However, with a force of more than ten people behind him, this is a fact that cannot be hidden. Generally only the children of nobles or wealthy families are treated like this, and they generally do not wander around the border areas. The journey back can be regarded as earning enough scenery.
But what Zhencheng didn't know was that when he passed through Harran Town, two people cast not envious eyes, but vicious eyes full of malice.
"Boss! Want to get your hands dirty? I think this kid should be the son of a rich family. A tall man sat at the table, staring closely at Makoto outside through the window of the inn with a wolf-like ferocity.
"I've been a little short of money lately, but the business in the town isn't done yet. This kid will send two fast-moving brothers to follow first, and we'll do it when the time comes! The man he was talking to was a stout man with a deep scar on his face. After the big man finished speaking, he picked up a large bowl full of wine and drank it. The aura exuded by the big man and the tall man made the other travelers around the restaurant avoid them, and no one wanted to touch these two living stars.
After a while, the innkeeper walked up to the two men with a smile on her face, and said coquettishly: "Two masters, the girls are ready." ”
"Got it!" The tall man looked back and forth on the proprietress with lustful eyes, and then said: "This mission is urgent, wait for the next time, Lao Tzu must love you well!" After speaking, I will start stroking the proprietress with my hands.
"It's really, nasty! ~" The proprietress pretended to be shy, but in fact, her heart was upset. Thinking that there would be some law enforcement agency to eradicate this scourge as soon as possible, he would come to her from time to time to rob the girl.
"Enough! Load these women into the car! The big man reprimanded the tall man's bestial behavior, allowing the proprietress to escape. Although the tall man was extremely reluctant, he was afraid of the temper of the big man, so he obediently led the hemp rope that tied the girls and walked outside. Among these girls, there was a red-haired girl who was very eye-catching, her eyes scanned back and forth smartly, and soon she also discovered the true inheritance outside. Isn't this the guy who stayed in the hotel a few days ago? I didn't expect it to be a rich family. The red-haired girl recognized Maseung at a glance, after all, she was also a woman who had slept with Makoto all night. Although he didn't really volunteer and didn't do anything, the red-haired girl still remembered him. This time it looks like it's saved! The red-haired girl gave a sly smile.
At this moment, Makoto, who was completely unaware, was still walking leisurely on the road, imagining the sweet life with Lilisa and Alice after he went back, and a smile unconsciously filled his face. Makoto is not an ambitious person, and if he is allowed to be with Lilisa forever in this world, he is also very satisfied. He put his hand on his forehead to shield himself from the sun and looked out for the rest of the road. He had already walked out of the town of Harran, and in half an hour he would be at Lilisa's house. As the sun continued to set, the time was approaching evening.
Makoto was watching Lilisa's house, and Lilisha was also looking in the direction of Maseung's departure in the morning. She folded her hands and her eyes were full of anxiety and unease. Will he come back? Why not say where to go? The past few days of getting along have made Lilisa, who was originally independent, dependent on Mako. Lilisa is a hurt woman, she kind of hates her current self, why don't she start relying on someone in a hurry. Alice was also in a very low mood today, and her little head hung all day.
"Did Daddy leave us again?" Alice asked aggrievedly, her words poking Liliza's heart.
"No, no." Lilisa kept denying it, but doubts and worries were already growing in her heart.
At this moment, a hurried sound of horses' hooves came from a distance. Is he back? Lilisa and Alice looked at each other, both of them very emotional. Alice ran downstairs with a puff of smoke, and she was the first to open the door to greet her. Lilisa followed, and at the moment she wanted to see Makoto so much.
Squeak, the door opened. However, the excited duo did not wait for the person they wanted to see, and their eyes changed from anticipation to trepidation. It wasn't Makoto who stood outside the door, it was Hogg.
"Hogg! What are you doing here? Lilisa instinctively kept Alice behind her.
"Humph! I'm looking for that kid! If he wants to stay here, he'll have to register with the superintendent! Hogg violently pushed Lilisa away, he was in an unusually irritable mood today, and he still smelled of alcohol all over his body.
"What are you going to do?! Admit he's not here! Lilisa didn't want to indulge Hogg any longer, and she grabbed Hogg by the clothes and tried to pull him out of the door. But just then, more horses' hooves sounded around. A dozen or so horseback riders gathered near Lilisa's house. They wore light blue uniforms with a baton around their waists. One of them flipped off his horse, walked into the house, saluted Hogg, and said, "Report to the captain!" The neighborhood has been searched and no suspicious characters have been found! ”
"Got it!" Hogg shook Lilisa away and said to the guards who entered the house, "You guys follow me and keep looking in the house!" ”
"What does that mean?! Hogg! Lilisa's tone grew angry, but she didn't expect Hogg to bring his garrison directly this time.
"Hmph, a group of red-eyed people have been circulating in the border area recently, and I suspect that the guy who was secretly hidden by you is also one of them!" Hogg said angrily, he was so drunk that he was a little shaky when he walked.
"You, you're a communiqué personal vendetta!" Lilisa opened her hand to give Hogg another slap.
"Do you want to obstruct public order?!" Hogg glared at Lilisa fiercely, he grabbed Lilisa's arm violently, and pushed Lilisa into the corner with all his body, Lilisa struggled but still couldn't resist the excited Hogg. "Since your husband disappeared, I have been helping you for so many years!" Hogg's eyes were bloodshot, and his physical desires were fueled by alcohol that invaded his brain.
"Let go of my mom!" Alice couldn't take it anymore, and she rushed up and bit Hogg's fat thigh.
"Oops!" Hogg let out a scream of pain, and he grabbed Alice's pretty blonde hair with one free hand, and threw Alice aside with all his might. His move frightened the guards who entered the house, but as his subordinates, the guards chose to turn a blind eye.
"Alice!" Lilisa cried out in horror, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart when she saw Alice who had fallen to the ground. Lilisa was close to scratching Hogg frantically, and she cried out as she scratched, "Hogg! Don't think I don't know what you think! For all these years, you have been controlling the merchants around you, so that they don't trade any poultry for us, and we can only raise your sheep! You cowardly bastard, this time ruining my life again with the name of the red-eyed people! I've had enough! I wish the red-eyed people were coming! Kill you brute! ”
"What's the use of all this?! You say I'm a brute? Okay, today I'll show you what a beast is! Hogg said with a grim face. Lilisa's words touched Hogg's heart, and the evil in Hogg's heart began to explode through the wine.
"As you wish, beautiful lady." Just then, a man's voice sounded in the room. The voice was hoarse and eerie, and the people who listened to it stood upside down.
"Who?!" Hogg stopped his beastly movements, he became vigilant, and his wine was half sober. But no one answered Hogg, and the room fell silent. Everyone looked around nervously.
Yes! Inside the house, a guard suddenly screamed, and he covered his neck with his hands in pain, and he didn't know when a playing card was deeply tied to his neck. The playing card cut an artery in his neck, and within seconds, he fell to the ground in horror. After he fell to the ground, screams rang out one after another in the house. One by one, the guards were hit by playing cards, and in a short period of time, nearly half of the guards were injured to varying degrees.
“TNND!” Hogg cursed, and he let go of Lilisa and drew the sword from his waist. Don't look at Hogg's fat head and big ears, he seems to be very stupid, but he is a 'swordsman'. Before he became fat, Hogg had the same combat ability as Levi, otherwise how could he be the captain of the garrison. Although Hogg hadn't used his sword well for a few years, his swordsmanship foundation was still there. Hogg quickly swung his sword and slashed down a few playing cards flying at him, shouting at the guards, "Get together, don't let that guy get out of the way!" ”
Hogg commanded the guards in the house, and when he heard the captain's order, the remaining active guards recovered from their panic and gathered together. They were back to back, forming a defensive formation with no dead ends. Playing cards flew again from all directions, but this time, the guards were prepared to defend. They brandished batons and knocked out the flying playing cards.
Seeing that the ranged attack was no longer effective, the man with a hoarse voice finally appeared. The owner of the voice was a thin man in animal skin armor. Although his body was thin and weak, a very powerful evil aura still burst out from his emaciated body.
"Brothers! Take him down! Hogg gave the order, and the guards rushed at the man in the fur.
In the face of the menacing guards, the man in the animal skin was not so nervous, he licked his purple lips and shouted, "Plum 7!" The Ace of Spades! With his summoning, two figures flashed quickly, one left and one right, appearing beside him.
"Yes, Boss." To the left of the man in the animal skin, a hideous-looking man with bloodshot eyes replied.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Ugly Emperor." On the other side of him, a seductive female figure also responded to his shout.
"Kill them! Leave the woman behind! The man in the animal skin gave the order, and two figures attacked the guards like wild dogs. Suddenly, blood splattered. During the battle, an oil lamp was accidentally knocked over, and the flames followed the kerosene and ignited a woolen chair on the side.
Lilisa protected Alice under her, lying on the ground with a pale face, watching the two gangs fight to the death at home. Zhencheng, where are you? Come back soon! Lilisa's blue eyes were filled with tears, and she looked out the window, praying silently in her heart.
