Chapter 739: Suppressing Bandits (3)
Everyone in the Plantagenet family was laughing happily, but then suddenly they all stopped.
From the bustle to the quiet, the atmosphere is a little weird.
A sense of foreboding arose in the depths of their hearts, as if a chill had instantly penetrated their bodies.
They felt that there was something strange about their surroundings, as if they were not the same, but they didn't know where the blow of death came from.
Everyone couldn't help but look at each other for a while.
I don't know who it is, and muttered, "It's so quiet......"
The rest of the people also came to their senses at once, looked up in panic, but nothing unusual appeared, and followed them one by one with bated breath and listened carefully.
Yes, it's really too quiet. Unusually quiet.
The originally harsh and noisy banquet in the distance had stopped for some time, and the screams of the red men and green women had disappeared.
There used to be some insects and crickets singing low around the tent, and they would normally make people sleep all night, but now they have disappeared without a trace.
Even the eternal, lingering wind on the prairie seems to have stopped.
Time seemed to freeze, and the whole world fell silent. It was as if they were all dead. The air was oppressive and dreary.
The hearts of the people in the tent were like a big stone pressed against them.
"What the hell is going on?" the crowd was momentarily confused, and looked at each other in amazement.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone has a premonition that something is going to happen, but they don't dare to seriously think about what might happen.
They wanted to find out, but they didn't dare to make a sound, like lambs standing beside a sleeping lion, lest the slightest noise would wake the beast awake, and then pounce on it and tear itself to pieces.
Everyone's breathing became heavy.
If someone has ever had experience in the army, they will understand in an instant that it is the calm before the big war, the calm before the storm. This is the power that is being prepared and brewing, accumulating the power to deliver a fatal blow.
Behind the calm, there must be a thunderbolt. A fatal blow that turns everyone into powder.
Experienced people will be alert immediately, and even if they can't escape in time, they can take some precautions.
It's a pity that these people have been sī traders for many years, and they have already been sorted out by their ancestors, and the vast majority of them are rich N generations who do nothing.
They do not have the courage of their ancestors to pioneer and start a business, they do not have the courage to fight for interests in blood, and they do not have the wisdom to plan for the future.
will only lie on the merits of the predecessors and enjoy themselves, and in the arms of the alcoholic beauty, he has completely lost his vigilance.
They don't even know how to actually run the business, it's just that the housekeepers who have been trained by the family are in charge of it.
Just when they were terrified, someone appeared, and before they knew it, Zhou seemed to be much brighter.
They can't help but wonder: 'What's going on here?'
But that didn't make them wait long, just a few seconds later, with a terrible shout, the answer was revealed.
"...... It's on fire," the voice shouted.
Several others also shouted, "It's on fire, come and put out the fire." ”
The crowd was shocked, they looked at each other, and then they all jumped up and rushed towards the door of the tent.
They all know that fire and water are ruthless, and as long as the fire starts, it is not something that ordinary people can extinguish.
The tents here are so tight that if the fire burns, all the tents around it will suffer, and then one person will run out.
They all had to break out of their tents and flee the fire.
The men rushed to the door of the tent, and someone lifted the curtain and was about to rush out.
Then I heard a low and cold voice outside: "Release the arrow"
Immediately afterward, there was the sound of a bowstring rattling.
The sound of the bowstring "boom, boom" converges like the sound of a swarm of bees flying.
The sharp arrows tore through the air, let out a terrible scream, and then burrowed into the target's body, and the bright red blood flowers immediately splashed up, and bloomed under the fiery red firelight, showing a poignant color.
At the same time, the arrows even tore through the thick tabernacle and unceremoniously burrowed into it.
Horrific casualties were inflicted immediately.
The few people in front of them immediately flew backwards a few steps under the heavy blow of the sharp arrows, and then fell on their backs and lay on the ground, not moving.
By the brighter and brighter light of the fire, it can be clearly seen that their bodies are like porcupines, full of dense arrows, and even the human form is no longer miserably.
Smelling the strong smell of blood, everyone couldn't help but tremble for a while, and they cried on the spot.
This is completely different from the fact that they usually sit in the luxurious living room, holding red wine, hugging beautiful women, and then talking loudly, planning all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, and determining the life and death of others.
At that time, they didn't need to risk their lives, they only needed to pay gold coins, and naturally someone would work for them.
This bloody scene directly hit their nerves, and some people almost fainted.
They immediately let out a miserable and piercing howl, and they were all stupid, not knowing what to do, but like headless flies, they hid in their tents.
Someone was lying on the ground, someone was under the table, someone was hiding behind someone else...... Shouting, wailing, swearing, trembling, all sorts of ugliness.
When the patriarch of the Plantagenet family saw this, he couldn't help but be furious, and with the cane in his hand, he shouted: "Don't panic, don't panic"
He watched a certain member of the clan in a dazed state, and even went straight to him, and immediately became angry, raised the cane in his hand, pointed it at the man's head, and knocked it on the ground.
The man was immediately knocked on the head and broke the blood, screamed, rolled his eyes, and collapsed to the ground.
The patriarch had a lot of strength in his hands, and seeing that there seemed to be something white flowing out of the man's head, the old man faintly felt that he was in a rage, as if his hands were a little heavy, and the brains of this guy were all out, and it was estimated that there was more than one luck.
But at this time, he could only hold on, snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Don't panic, everyone." The fire hasn't burned yet, so they're all honest. Whoever runs around again will all end up with him, block the window, and put the table down to block the arrows. ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the man on the ground.
At his roar, everyone came to their senses.
Although they did not dare to disobey under the power of this patriarch for many years, they still felt a flustered heart when they saw the flames around them and the corpses lying on the ground, and their faces were all pale and their whole bodies trembled.
The patriarch looked at their appearance and couldn't help but snort coldly: "A bunch of useless waste things"
He paused for a moment, and when he saw that everyone was frightened, he leaned towards him and blocked the way as if they were all frightened and rushed towards the old mother Jī Chick. waved the cane in his hand at the moment, and shouted angrily: "Get out of the way for me, let me go out and have a look"
The crowd looked at him apprehensively and got out of the way.
The patriarch snorted coldly, put on his crutches, and then walked to the door of the tent step by step with steady steps.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help grinning, the fire here had burned to their eyebrows, and the old guy was still there to compose music.
They secretly prayed in their hearts: Ancestors, you should be faster. Don't play with your general's demeanor here, it's a hell of a slow thing, and the whole family is going to die.
One by one, in a hurry, they were almost about to come out.
This old man is not showing his demeanor, he is just trying to appease everyone's feelings, if at this time, even he panics, busy with farts and flows, in the next moment, those people will definitely be scared again.
At this time, the patriarch took a slow step, and finally walked to the door.
He didn't go out either, but stood still and looked out the door.
In the darkness outside the door, countless soldiers saw his appearance and couldn't help but raise their bows and arrows in unison.
The sharp metal at the tip of the arrow shone with an icy cold glow in the firelight, like the snow on the top of the Kalmakaro snow-capped mountain.
The patriarch looked at those soldiers with cold faces, and suddenly his heart set off a huge *. He finally knew where the blow of death came from
Really people from the military.
These people are coming so fast
At the same time, he also felt a burst of regret, what Fixes said was right, he really should have listened to him.
I never took this threat seriously, thinking that it was just a rash competitor, as long as it was suppressed.
It's just that I didn't expect a wrong step and a wrong step, and a stunned young man actually forced their family to death.
But then I was relieved.
These people came so fast that as soon as Fixes left, they arrived. It's simply thunder and lightning, and the legend says that the thunder can't hide the momentum of stealing the bell.
I just listened to Fix's words and immediately asked everyone to evacuate and escape, but it was absolutely too late.
At this time, the fire outside the tent had already risen into the sky, and the flames rose and crackled. Standing in front of me, the boiling heat was burning, and the sweat was already dried before it could flow out.
But the patriarch of the Plantagenet stood at the door of the tent, looked at the people outside the tent, took a deep breath, and cried out, "I am the patriarch of the Plantagenet family, Portes, who among you is in charge, and may you come out and see him?"
He paused for a moment, saw that no one answered, and then said mockingly: "Why? If you have the courage to start from behind and do such a despicable thing, don't you have the courage to meet me, an old man who has no power?"
The soldiers let out a low, angry roar.
The roar was so intimidating that even a hungry lion would run away with his tail between his legs.
Portus's face turned pale, but he still held on, stretched out his hands, and said, "Come on, you cowards, cowards, soft eggs. There is a kind of shooting all your arrows towards here, if I frown, I am not a hero."
The soldiers' eyes were red with anger, and their hands holding their bows and arrows could not help but move, and at that moment, Podes thought that they would definitely shoot the arrows, and his eyes could not help but close, waiting for death.
However, these soldiers were clearly absolute elite warriors, and due to strict military discipline, they were angered by Jī when there was no order, but they still did not release the arrows in their hands.
Immediately after, a tall shadow in a cloak stepped out of the darkness.
Lorraine walked slowly to the opposite side of Portus, then stood still not far away, looking at each other coldly.
I saw that he was white-haired, thin, and looked like a retired priest, and if you didn't know who he was, it would be easy to think of him as an old man who would give candy to friends on the street.
Lorraine's heart couldn't help but soften, but then, the tragic death of the seventeen cronies made his heart hard again.
The story of "The Farmer and the Snake", he didn't need to go to a certain degree, he had already learned it when it was light. And the cruel society has more than once sued sù Lorraine for the truth of this story.
He looked at each other mockingly, and exclaimed: "At such an old age, it's not good to go home to take your grandson, and you still play this hand of hooligans." What an admirable thing, old man. ”
Portes narrowed his eyes, glanced up, looked at Lorraine carefully, and then said astringently: "Sure enough, it's you"
Immediately afterwards, he stretched out his hand and shouted: "As a dignified Praetorian Guard officer, you actually lay down a soldier and attack your hands behind your back, don't you feel despicable?"
Lorraine laughed angrily and said: "At the beginning, you made trouble with me, arrested my brother, and then you killed me, robbed my goods, and wanted to kill me, not only to provoke the duel according to the row, but also to ambush the assassins, don't you old gentleman feel despicable and shameful?
You old thing, you get more and more stupid the more you live. You are only allowed to harm others, and you are not allowed to harm others?
Do you think you have two jjs? If you really want to, take off the kùzi and let the masters open their eyes. ”
The soldiers present suddenly burst into a burst of ominous and arrogant laughter.
As the patriarch, how could Podes have been ridiculed like this, and his old face was immediately blue and white, and his whole body trembled.
He trembled, pointed at Lorraine, and said, "You...... You ......"
Lorraine laughed and said, "What am I? old man." Sue sù an old saying, when you come out of the soul, you have to pay it back as soon as possible. Fucking no one, don't think you're great. Everyone has a life, a knife piercing hurts, and a gun kills. ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and coldly shouted, "All ready"
With his order, all the soldiers raised their bows and arrows in unison, and there was a 'boom' sound.
In Podston, I was terrified. He knew that as long as Lorraine's hand was waved, those soldiers would immediately kill all of them with ten thousand arrows.
In the face of this ruthless rascal, he was also dead for a while, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word.
But suddenly, it was also blessed.
He immediately took half a step back, and then, ignoring the glory of the nobles, fell to his knees with a thud. He raised the cane in his hand high above his head, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, please have mercy and let our whole clan go down a life path." We are willing to give half of our possessions. ”
When the soldiers saw it, they couldn't help but look shameless.
Grandma's, when is this, these dead businessmen raised by dogs* are still picking their butts and sucking their fingers, and they only take half of the family property to buy their lives.
We killed you, and then we charged you with another crime, and all your family property is not ours, so why should we leave you half of it?
Lorraine also frowned, and said, "I really don't understand the heavy profits of you businessmen. I'm about to die, and I still have to leave half of my property behind, who are you going to spend it on?"
He paused for a moment, looked at the appearance of the old patriarch, sighed, and then said, "Patriarch, at the beginning, if you weren't so arrogant and maliciously smashed my field. Maybe we can work together.
No one can make enough money. We people can't spend all the money we earn, so why be too greedy, let's come together, wouldn't we make more money.
Later, when you arrested my people, at that time, if you were sincere and took the initiative, we could still make peace. If you can do it together, if you can't get along, it's nothing more than doing your own thing. The Semitic people are so big that neither you nor I can eat it.
Later, however, you took great pains to find the people who killed me, robbed me of my goods, and got rid of me, and arranged for assassins.
To tell the truth, I am a real Semitic top ten young masters, if I change people, it is estimated that the corpse will be cold this time.
In that case, then I can only be sorry.
We have always been very courageous, if there is an enemy or something living in the world who always thinks about me, I must not eat well, sleep poorly, and have to die, so that I can live more comfortably. ”
When all the soldiers heard it in the back, they couldn't help but grin: their boss is really shameless. actually said this remark so dignifiedly. Sure enough, it is a generation of idols that have swept thousands of hooligans.
Portes stretched out his hand and cried out, "Please, sir." ”
Lorraine sighed and said, "I'm sorry, we must be trustworthy when we come out." I have promised the seventeen brothers who died tragically, that if you want your whole family to die, you must let your whole family die. ”
Everyone listened to Lorraine's words, and suddenly felt a chill. This is the real gangster, ruthless and ruthless.
If you say that you kill the whole family, you will kill the whole family, and there is no discount at all.
The soldiers secretly said in their hearts: No wonder the soul of the people is full of wind and water, and the principle of doing what is said is one realm higher than others.
After that, this famous quote of Lorraine also spread. While everyone was frightened, they also told each other that the hooligan was unusually vicious, and it was okay, so don't mess with him
Later, this sentence was borrowed by the street hooligans one after another, and if they didn't say it again when they smashed people's fields, it seemed to be old-fashioned.
Portes glanced at Lorraine in despair, suddenly his face changed, he jumped up from the ground, pointed at Lorraine with a resentful face, and hissed: "Okay, good, since that's the case, then let's fight a fish to the death of the net, I curse you......"
As he spoke, the cane in his right hand slammed into the ground.
I heard a soft 'click', and then a little black starlight flashed at the top of the cane.
Then a scream rang out.
Lorraine knew that it was not good, so he hurriedly flicked his left leg hard and rolled out sideways.
Suddenly, I felt a cold wind blowing in, as if something was passing by the side of my cheek.
Before he could stand firm, he heard a soldier scream behind him, and then rolled to the ground. Obviously, he was hit by the hidden weapon.
Lorraine took a breath, and then snorted, fortunately, his skills have improved a lot recently, and his reaction is faster than before, otherwise he would probably have been attacked by this old guy.
Portes revealed his original face at this time, and when he saw that the blow was missed, he immediately hissed and roared, and then waved the crutch in his hand again, aiming at Lorraine.
At this time, an officer next to him saw this, and immediately shouted in a low voice, saying, "Release the arrow, let the arrow shoot him." ”
Immediately, a canopy of arrows roared out and accurately hit Poddes' body. Immediately he shot a pair of piercings.
Lorraine could hear the 'poof' sound of an arrow passing through its body.
Under the huge inertia, the arrow shot Podes upside down and fell to the ground in the tent.
Lorraine got up from the ground and couldn't help but curse, "These dogs* really can't be careless."
Immediately, I heard a stir behind me, but I saw several sergeants surrounding the soldier who had been shot down, shouting something with their hands in hand.
Lorraine stepped forward a few steps, and when they looked at everyone, they saw that although the soldier was wearing heavy armor, the hidden weapon was still pierced into it, piercing the flesh.
Although he didn't hit the vital point, the wound was black and looked shocking. In a short period of time, it has swelled up to a certain height. Obviously, that is secretly coated with poison.
At this time, a witch doctor rushed over, sniffed the secret weapon with experience, and said with a big grin, "I can't die." "Take out the knives and scissors and start rescuing.
Lorraine saw it, and then she was relieved.
At this time, the fire at the Plantagenet tent was getting stronger and stronger. But everyone present, both officers and soldiers, watched the fire in silence and coldly.
If it is said that in the Plantagenet family, he smashed the field, instigated inspections and arrests, and later killed people and hijacked ships and goods, took the opportunity to provoke a duel with Lorraine, and finally assassinated by unscrupulous means...... If any of them still had a shred of sympathy for these people, that little sympathy would have disappeared long ago when Portes assassinated Lorraine.
Such a vicious and vicious family is still disappearing as soon as possible. Otherwise, we don't know who will be poisoned by them in the future.
Early the next morning, the fire that had been burning for half the night had been extinguished. Only a few faint wisps of green smoke remained wafting over the ruins.
The people watched the Plantagenet family's tent burned to ashes, and they couldn't help but wonder and ask each other.
The soldiers who were guarding were also sorry at the moment: look, look, just knowing that they were taking advantage of the public, and having wine that didn't cost money, they poured it desperately, and this time the cat Niao drank too much, and he didn't know if it caught fire, and as a result, he burned all the people to death.
The good-looking Plantagenet family almost died completely.
