Chapter 162
,
"Alas!" Char sighed, walked up, picked up Philip on the ground, put it on the carriage first, and then looked at him: "Okay, let's talk about it, Mr. Philip, you don't seem to be a bit miserable now." ”
Philip's face was like dust, and his face was miserable, and he suddenly felt sad from his heart, and wailed: "I was blind back then! Today I was plotted by that shameless and despicable bastard!!"
It turned out that Philip was defeated by Char in the ring that day, and his whole body was seriously injured, and his bones were broken I don't know how many - even if it was, Char still hated him for being vicious, and cut off the thumbs of both hands!
This kind of samurai is all practicing swordsmanship, and without thumbs in both hands, he can no longer hold weapons, and his skills are discounted by at least half.
What's even worse is that he was abolished on the spot, and after carrying his subordinates back, he originally wanted to heal the injury first, and then slowly think of other ways. But after he was carried back by his men, others looked at his injuries, and the situation changed subtly.
For the first day, he was lying in bed, and a doctor came to treat his injuries, and he didn't feel any change, but the next day, things were not right. He originally had two or three henchmen under him, but they were all gone the next day, and the people around him who were responsible for taking care of him were also replaced. He was so badly injured that he couldn't get out of bed, and he lay on the bed like a dead man, feeling bad in his heart, but he couldn't help it.
Gradually, he felt that his subordinates became more and more indifferent to him, he used to be the leader, he hugged each other, someone brought tea and water, and now he was lying on the bed, and his subordinates began to take care of him, and then gradually ignored him. Fortunately, he has been the leader for many years, and there are always one or two people who miss the old and quietly send him medicine.
Philip was also a cunning and scheming man, hiding the medicine and quietly taking it externally, but deliberately pretending to be seriously injured and unable to move, and the food brought by the food delivery man gradually became coarse, and from the third day onwards, he threw a dry dough cake on the bed every day - all of which Philip endured.
Later, he learned that in the days when he was seriously injured, after everyone found out that he had been abolished, his subordinates had different hearts!
Originally, these warrior regiments relied on their martial arts to eat, and their martial arts were abolished, so how could they serve the public? What they didn't expect was that the first one to show his fangs to him was his most relied on deputy Xavier.
This Xavier has been with him for many years, and even all his martial arts have been trained by him, which is like half an apprentice, but this person has a different heart, when Philip was bedridden, two or three of his henchmen have been directly killed by Xavier leading a group of traitors.
Then Xavier coerced and lured Philip in front of the hospital bed, forcing Philip to hand over power.
It turned out that Philip was cunning and always kept a hand in doing things, but fortunately this finally saved his life: he stored most of the property of the Silver Python Warrior Regiment in the Silver Association of a very reputable large chamber of commerce, and the property stored accounted for more than seventy percent of the wealth accumulated by the Silver Python Warrior Regiment over the years. Such a sum of money is stored in that chamber of commerce, and only he, Philip, can take it out, and others will never be able to claim it.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to get the family money that the Silver Python Warrior Regiment had accumulated over the years, I was afraid that when he was in the hospital bed, Xavier would kill him with a sword.
Philip vomited blood in his heart, but he could only deliberately show weakness, deal with the other party, delay time, and just want to wait until his injuries are better. He had a loyal subordinate who secretly gave him medicine for his wounds, so he secretly recuperated, and when someone was there, he deliberately pretended to be seriously injured - even if he was cunning and changeable, he actually deceived Xavier.
And the people who were secretly loyal to him also helped him cover up some of them, so he barely delayed for some time.
finally delayed for a few days, Xavier came to persecute every day, seeing that the other party was gradually impatient, if he didn't pay the money, he was afraid that the other party couldn't help but kill him. Philip finally agreed.
Xavier then took a group of cronies and took Philip hostage to the trading guild of Dìdū, where he cashed out the property.
The next day, he went to the trading guild to withdraw the deposit, and in the chamber of commerce, he got the property and loaded two large carts, Philip suddenly had a seizure, he had recovered a lot from his injuries, although the real strength could never be recovered, but it was no problem to deal with a few ordinary samurai, and Xavier was concerned about money, so he was less jǐng ti for him, a waste man, and Philip took the opportunity to cut down a few people, and grabbed a carriage and rushed out of the street.
Although Xavier tried his best to catch up, at this time, several of Philip's diehard subordinates desperately delayed, and after Xavier killed all Philip's diehards, Philip had already driven away.
He was also really cunning, he drove to the city gate to escape in broad daylight, he calculated that in the city of dìdū, as long as he was on the street and next to the city gate, there were city guards patrolling, even if Xavier caught up, he did not dare to openly cause chaos and kill, so he was so desperate that he actually escaped from dìdū. Xavier and the others rode after him, but after all, they were a beat slower, until they ran out of the dìdū, but Philip was finally caught up.
"It's my own greed. Philip lay on the carriage and gasped: "If I leave the town and throw it away, and go down the path or into the woods, they won't find me." But now that I have fled from the moor, and I am abandoned, I only want to save this cart of belongings so that I can support myself in the future, but after all, the carriage is heavy and slow, and it has left the mark of the wheels along the way......"
He drove all the way to the east, but he didn't expect that on the east side of the fork in the road, behind Dodora had just separated from Char and the others, and on the way he met Philip who was walking east.
Although Philip didn't recognize Todoro, but Totaro was separated from Char and the others this time, but he changed his equipment and wore an extremely arrogant magician's robe!
Although he didn't wear a magician's badge, how could Philip not recognize this style of magician's robe? Seeing that the horse that Dodora was riding was a first-class horse, and there were several rather jīng bags hanging on the saddle, the saddle and the horsewhip, all of which were high-class goods, and he decided in his heart that this must be a great magician with great strength!
Philip knew that his situation was in crisis, so he deliberately befriended Todoro, and originally Todoro didn't recognize Philip as the leader of the Silver Python Warrior Order, but as a result, the two of them said a few words, and they immediately identified each other and recognized each other.
It's good to recognize this, Totaro is not a good stubble, if in the past, he saw a master like Philip, he naturally avoided walking, and now the other party is so embarrassed, does he still have the reason to go up and beat the water dogs?
Although Philip's strength was greatly damaged, there was still no problem in dealing with Todoro, but he knew that Totaro was Char's person, so how could he dare to do anything to Dodoro? He could only beg for mercy, and heard that Totaro had come out to find the "Magic Kiss Taro", Philip immediately swore that he could find the Magic Kiss Taro and not have to go to the Realm of Chaos to take risks! As long as Todo Roken let him go, then ten Magic Kiss Taro potatoes, he Philip promised to give them!
When Tatara heard this, he was so happy that he almost smiled a flower on his face.
But before a few minutes of rejoicing, the pursuers behind him came to kill. After a scuffle, Philip fought desperately, and the cart and Tatara broke out of the encirclement, crossed the fork in the road, and came to the west.
"And then we saved you?" Afrecat couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and the sadness of the rabbit's death flashed across his face.
Although he has a grudge against Philip, but at this moment the other party is at the end of his rope, seeing that the arrogant enemy is so panicked, there is really no hatred in his heart.
Seeing that Philip was unkempt and no longer had the domineering appearance that he had led a large group of men and horses to besiege him, Alfrecat hesitated, looked at Char and said in a low voice: "My lord, this guy is already like this, and God has punished him, so it's better to ......"
"Well, I'm too lazy to trouble him. Char pouted: "But, Philip, you told my people that you know where you can get the Devil's Kiss Taro, is that true?"
Philip nodded and said in a deep voice, "Don't dare to hide it from Lord Baron." At this moment, he faced Char, he was a down-and-out person, and he already knew Char's identity, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, and his attitude should be more respectful and respectful.
"Very well, you name it, and I'll bypass you, and...... I'll save your life! Don't go east this way, follow us to the west, anyway, I see that you also brought a carriage of belongings, you must not be able to go back to your hometown, anyway, you are alone, as long as you have money, you can live everywhere, you follow our convoy to the west, if someone is chasing on the road, I will help you block it, how about it?"
Although Philip had already made the heart of death just now, but if there is a way for people to live, who wants to die? At this moment, suddenly a way of life is in front of him, his eyes moved, and he looked at Char with wide eyes, the god was complicated, and the sun was dark.
After all, the person in front of him is the murderer who abolished himself! He is so downtrodden today, it can be said that it can be regarded as Char's actions, if his skills are still there, where do his subordinates dare to rebel?
But at this moment, at the end of the road, Char saved his life again today...... "Thank you, Lord Baron." Philip rolled out of the carriage and threw himself into the dust on the ground, Char stood still, just looked at him coldly: "Don't thank me, equal deal, you provide the magic kiss taro, and I will keep you safe all the way." It's fair, but if you do evil again, Lao Tzu will kill you, and it's just a matter of moving your fingers. ”
Philip smiled bitterly: "My lord, I have seen through many things through this incident...... If it weren't for my vicious behavior and teaching by word and deed, the people around me would not have followed the same example and been ungrateful to me...... Besides, I'm already a half-wretched person, where can I still do evil?"
Char nodded: "Get up, I saved your life!"
Philip got up, and without waiting for Char to ask, he took the initiative to say, "This thing of Demon Kiss Taro was originally only produced in the territory of the Chaos Realm outside the eastern frontier of the empire, the Jīng Spirit Clan. However, I know that there is another place on this continent where there is also a magic kiss taro!"
"Where?" Char's eyes flickered, and Tataro next to him also stared at Philip.
"Wildfire Plain!
When Char heard this, his eyes moved.
He grew up in the wildfire field, how did he not know the tribe of the Zakutu people?
The Zaku Turen tribe is another race in the wildfire field in addition to the dwarves and the jīng.
However, the Zaku Turen, although they are natives, are also human beings after all, they are just a group of uncivilized savages, and their births and customs are different from those of the Byzantine Empire and the Odins. These indigenous people are uncivilized, living in groups, deep in the eastern part of the wildfire field.
The eastern part of the wildfire field passes through a savage jungle, and further east, you can reach the tribe of the Zakutu people, in a secret forest. Although these Zaku people are not civilized, they are also human beings after all. The dwarven tribe and the land jīng do not interact with humans, but the Zaku tribe has a lot of connections with the human civilization world. The tribe of the Zaku tribe is rich in some rare goods, which are the best things to live in in the civilized world.
For example, the tobacco produced by the Zaku people is a good thing loved by the nobles, and it is said that those tobaccos are all cigarette rolls made by the young girls of the Zaku people with tobacco leaves on their smooth thighs - not only the taste of tobacco is mellow, but thinking about the charm of it, it is a little more interesting.
In addition, near the Zaku tribe, there is also a gold mine, rich in gold, and the local jungle is rich in magical beasts, and the Zaku people are brave and good at fighting, especially in the jungle walking like flying, elusive, better at driving wild beasts, and using all kinds of poisons. Therefore, even though there are gold mines near the tribe, for a long time, the humans of the civilized world outside did not dare to invade each other, so they could only run to trade with the Zakutu people.
Fortunately, the Zaku people do not hate humans like the dwarves, and they are also willing to make some trades with human caravans, using their special products tobacco, gold, spices, and monster fur and demon cores in exchange for some goods in the human world.
"The tribe of the Zaku Turks, I know that place. Char squinted his eyes: "But how do you know that there is a magic kiss taro in that place?"
Philip said slowly: "My lord, many years ago, my Silver Python Warrior Regiment did not have such a climate as it is now, and my brother and I also used to take a group of subordinate warriors to serve as escort mercenaries for some large merchant groups and earn some money for food. Once, with a caravan traveling to the Wildfire Plain, he followed him into the tribal territory of the Zaku Tu. The Devil's Kiss Taro was something I saw with my own eyes in the Zaku tribe! The merchant group that went to trade at that time said that they saw this plant in the room of the chief of the Nazaku tribe and were very surprised. ”
Saying that, for fear that Char wouldn't believe it, Philip probably told about the appearance characteristics of the Magic Kiss Taro. Char listened and looked at Todoro, who nodded slightly, thinking that what Philip said was good.
Char sighed: "Okay, believe you once." ”
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Tadoro: "You deserve your life!haha, if you go to the east alone, we all think you are dead this time, but if there is that thing in the wildfire field...... Haha! That's Lao Tzu's territory, if there really is, I'll find it for you! Zaku Turen tribe, although I haven't been there, but I have run through the nearby forest, but I haven't dared to approach the Turen tribe's territory, that place is not too far, but it is a little difficult to find, as long as you know the way, it is not difficult. ”
Totara was overjoyed in his heart, how could he be unhappy that he could get the magic kiss taro without risking his life?
※※※ In this way, Philip, the original enemy of the family, also joined the team of Char and others. Char separated two horses and pulled up Philip's carriage, which was heavy, the wheels clicked when it was driving, and there were several large boxes on it, and I don't know how much money this Philip has collected over the years.
Char thought of his recent nervousness, looking at Philip's cart of belongings, he couldn't help but think about it by chance: Anyway, everyone is friend or foe, such a good opportunity, do you need to eat him black?
Philip didn't notice it, probably in his mind, this Char-sama has a great reputation, is a nobleman, and a high-ranking official, where would he covet his "little money"?
But he didn't expect that Xia Ya's red eyes didn't know how many times he had turned around in his carriage.
Fortunately, Char is not so unbearable, this kind of thought, just think about it.
It's just that it seems that today's things are really one thing after another, and the group went east, and when it was night, they came to a small town to stay overnight, and when they arrived at the entrance of the town, they heard the sound of rolling wheels on the road behind them.
Looking back, a light carriage, drawn by four fine horses, came quickly, and a person in the carriage, looking from a distance, was a little familiar, a little closer, and heard the man in the distance shouting: "Ahead! Is it Baron Char! Please wait!"
The voice was thick and a little lazy, Char heard it familiar, squinted at it, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Roddy?!
The coachman of the Minas family...... Oh no!
The carriage was light, and it was four good horse-drawn carriages, and it was chased in front of him in an instant, and Roddy's face was dusty and gray-faced, and he was obviously in a hurry all the way, but when he came to the front, his appearance changed.
It turned out that when I first saw this little lord, he had a big beard, but today he came to take a look, but his face and chin were smooth, and the beard on his full face was actually shaved and slippery! He originally belonged to the elegant and delicate type, and he had to have a lot of beard before, which was really a bit nondescript, but now he has returned to his original appearance, but he is a handsome young man!
Jumping out of the carriage, Luo Di quickly strode towards Char, Xia turned over and dismounted, stood next to the horse, looked at Luo Di who ran over, and had a smile on his face: "Little lord, what are you doing chasing me?"
He made up his mind that if the other party regretted coming to get the house back, then he would immediately take the opportunity to return this hot potato to the other party!
"Haha! Lord Baron!" Luo Di walked in front of him, but solemnly made a courtesy, which made Char a little puzzled: "Yi, you are the future Duke, what kind of salute do you do to me." ”
"You'll find out later. Luo Di squeezed his eyes at Char, and then pointed to the carriage behind him: "I didn't expect you to go so fast, these things were packed up slowly, but fortunately I still caught up." Baron Char, this cart is a little meaning, please take it!"
Gifts?!
Char was really stunned.
"This ......" the turtle smiled and rubbed his hands: "This...... Why are you embarrassed?" said this, but his eyes kept glancing at the car: I don't know what kind of good things the Duke's family gave gifts? Well, it's better to have those things with golden portraits printed on them...... How smart Luo Di is, as soon as he saw Char's expression, he guessed the meaning of the other party, and glanced at Char, Char understood, and walked to the side with Luo Di, and Luo Di said in a low voice: "On the car is a box of purple gold coins! worth about 40,000 gold coins, and four barrels of good wine - first of all, I didn't give me the gold, but I found the wine myself." ”
As soon as Char heard this, where was there any problem with thinking about wine!
40,000 gold coins!!
Almost all of the turtle's eyes have turned into copper coins!
However, after coughing, the turtle smiled and said, "This ...... Why are you embarrassed? You're sending houses and money......"
Luo Di was stunned for a moment before he said: "I don't know about the house, my father wants to send you, so it naturally has a deep meaning." But you must accept this money. I, the Minas family, don't owe a favor to anyone!"
Huh?
Char was stunned, Luo Di leaned into Char's ear and laughed in a low voice: "My sister, the crown prince's concubine, but you saved it with your own hands!
As soon as he said this, Xia Ya suddenly felt like pouring a bucket of cold water on his head! His face changed, Huo Ran took a step back, and said in a low voice: "You know I know?"
These words were a little weird, but Luo Di understood when he heard it, and smiled slightly: "We know you know, don't worry, it's just me and my father know." Your Majesty and my sister are not clear. ”
Speaking of this, he patted Char on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't leak this matter, we all understand the reason why you pretend to be stupid." But you saved the daughter of our Minas family, and this kindness cannot be reciprocated!"
After a pause, Luo Di smiled and said: "Also, I heard that you didn't repair the house, I think you don't have the money in your hand, I have already explained to my subordinates, that house, although you are no longer dìdū, but I will send someone to take care of you, I will pay for the maintenance costs for you, so as not to save you from running back and forth." ”
Xia Ya smiled and raised his hand: "Then thank you very much." I really don't have any money in my hand now, so I'm not welcome to accept these gifts of yours!"
Luo Di breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, if you accept it, I can rest assured, and I will ask you to take care of me more in the future." ”
Xia Yaqi said: "You are the future duke, I am just a baron, where do I have anything to take care of you?"
Luo Di shook his head: "Father doesn't let me say it now, then you will naturally know in the future." ”
At this point, Roddy was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly glanced back at Char, and his expression was strange: "That...... Before I came, I heard that you had already worshipped Mr. Cavihill as a teacher?"
Char glared: "It spread so fast, do you know it?"
Luo Di laughed dryly: "That...... Actually, I used to be a teacher with Mr. Cavihill, but the teacher taught me for a few years, and then I quit. ”
"Yi, why don't you continue to learn from him?" Char wondered.
Luo Di frowned and said with a wry smile: "Although my family is a duke's house, my father has been strict with me since I was a child, and I have a public office after I was eighteen years old, and all the expenses have always been borne by myself......! But the annual filial piety, asking for money is too ruthless, brother, I can't afford it!!"
When Char heard this, he immediately felt as if he had found sympathy for the same disease, nodded again and again, was very moved, and stomped his feet and said: "Not bad, not bad! That old man is really not a thing, and he is making money through his disciples! I scratched 10,000 gold coins for him before I left Dìdū!"
As he spoke, the two hugged their heads, burst into tears, and shouted in unison: "Long live understanding!"
At this moment, the two sympathized with each other, sighed together for a while, arranged a few words of Cavishir together, and finally looked at each other and smiled, and suddenly felt that the relationship was a lot closer.
The first time Char had someone scolding Cavehill with him, it was really heartwarming, and it was much more pleasing to the eye to see this Roddy.
Finally, Luo Di said something for a while, he really said goodbye, turned around and left, untied a horse from the carriage to turn over and ride, he was born in a wealthy family in the army, and he was good at riding, even if there was no saddle reins on the horse, he didn't care at all, he was on the horse, and smiled at Xia Yahaha: "Take care all the way, you and I will have a chance to reunite!"
After speaking, the little duke turned his horse's head and left, ran a few steps, and threw a sentence from afar: "Char, don't forget the person who hangs you in Dìdū and Rì Night!!"
When this last sentence was thrown, Char was originally moved, but suddenly his face stiffened, his mouth opened wide, and he looked at the back of the little duke, and after a long time, he suddenly shivered violently.
"Fuck! I thought he was a good guy! It turned out to be a fucking rabbit too! Damn! I don't want you to remember me! Get out! The next time we meet, just punch him!"
