Chapter 528: The Secret Path
divlign="ener">
At night, the sky is clear and silent, and a little stars are shining one after another, and some cold light will fall. In the middle is the tall and vast transparent sky and the breeze that slowly cuts through the vast mountains, making people sigh out the stuffiness in their hearts and dissipate in the boundless tall air.
In the camp in the mountains below, everyone danced merrily around the campfire, passing the time with the dance of the countrymen and the shoddy songs, and getting some fruit for supper. Everyone was laughing and laughing as they ate, and they were all very happy - because the Green-robed Ancestor was discussing the skills of the Ancient Druids with the leader in the Great Tent, and if it succeeded, the people here, especially the many low-level mages, would have a lot of room for improvement. The mages are waiting with their necks stretched.
On the quiet edge of the bustling camp, the gray-haired middle-aged official and his pregnant woman sat with a lamentation, and although they saw the lively and cheerful scene in their eyes, their hearts became more and more uncomfortable: they all have a future to look forward to, and we? Now there is nothing left, not even the lowest of the soldiers! What will happen in the future?
Thinking of this, the middle-aged officials began to tremble slightly: I have no force, no spells, and no money, how will they treat me? What if I am too old to walk in the future, what will happen if I run in the mountains? Will I be bitten to death by a wild wolf, or will I be driven up by kobolds and dismembered?
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and in the end his hands and feet were cold as if they were in ice cubes. I was about to stand up and have a fever, but I saw the woman next to me whimpering and crying, and the more I listened, the more annoying I became. So he suppressed his frightened and irritable feelings, and whispered, "Don't cry! Later, I will ask the green-robed ancestor to ask them more blankets, and they won't freeze you!"
But the woman was still crying, and the more she cried, the louder she became, and repeated persuasion had no effect, until at last her heart was stirred up by the voice, and she said angrily, "What the hell are you crying about? What's the use of crying when you're crying?"
The woman sobbed as she wiped her tears, "Cry for what?!Cry for my sister and the child in my womb! I don't know when I will be eaten by wild dogs~~" She continued to cry and lamented: "What should I do in the future?"
The middle-aged official let out a long sigh of weakness, and even the strength to be angry and curse was gone. Lowering his head and sighing, "This is also something that can't be helped." You can only hurt your body when you cry, so it's better to be quiet and save your strength. Tomorrow I might have to follow them all over the mountain. ”
Who knew that the woman covered her face in sorrow and wept incessantly: "What can you do if you save it? You people who live in the city don't know what it is like to be a refugee! If you are really eaten by wild dogs, you will be hungry for one day and less frightened for one day! It is better to die!"
The middle-aged official's hair was blown by the dark wind of the night, and he suddenly felt that there were a few more gray hairs. sighed, sat down and pulled her shoulders again, and comforted her softly: "Don't think so, you are now my only relative, I will take care of you with all my might, and I will ask the green-robed ancestor to help us later." You don't have to worry too much either. And now that you have a child, crying too much is not good for the child. You say, how can I stop crying?"
The young woman wiped her eyes and sobbed, "I think sister, sister must have been dropped for public display now." I~~ I want to bury her. When the middle-aged official next to him heard this, he immediately cried and laughed: "How is this possible?!" The city must be heavily guarded now, who of us wants to go back and move the body out?"
The young woman was a little more steady, but still insisted in a low voice: "I don't want to see my sister's body being dropped there, waiting for the flies to gnaw." You haven't seen the starving people outside the city, you don't know how miserable it is! You don't know how I feel! You men in the city know you're happy, and you never really care about other people's feelings!"
The gray-haired middle-aged official was originally angry, and was about to scold this woman who didn't know how high or inferior she was. But in an instant, I remembered today's situation -- where did I still have dignity and status? What else could I hold on to except for the hypocritical face? Suddenly I was sad, and my eyes were red and weeping.
After holding back his tears for a long time, he whispered, "You will rest in the tent." I'm going to figure it out. With a dejected expression, he walked towards Grimm's camp. I have ridden a horse with Grimm, and the relationship is relatively iron.
Grimm didn't watch the excitement outside, it seemed that he had been running for a day, and he was too tired to go into the camp to sleep. It's just that there is still a light in the tent, and I don't know what he's doing, maybe he's preparing a spell or alchemy. The middle-aged official directly opened the door of the camp tent and said, "Grimm, I want to trouble you to talk to the green-robed ancestor~~"
Before he could say it, he saw that Grimm in the tent was also crying in a low voice!
The middle-aged official said dumbly: "You~~ What's wrong with you?, why are you crying?" Grimm, who was sitting on a simple blanket, quickly wiped his tears and said calmly: "It's nothing~~ It's just a little sad." What's the matter with you? However, Ai~~Alas~~ The green-robed ancestor is not a casual person, and if you want him to help, you have to pay a certain price. ”
The middle-aged official, whose hair had already grayed, still asked, "Are you crying for the governor's 'distant niece'?" Grimm on the other side hesitated, then sighed and said, "Maybe, I don't know." What do you want the Green-robed Ancestor to do for you?"
The middle-aged official said what had just happened, and finally said, "I want to ask the green-robed ancestor if there is a way to get out the body of my woman, after all, she is not pregnant with a child for me." I also don't want my kids to fall high and be blown into jerky. ”
Grimm said, "The green-robed ancestor has a stand-in method, just like simulacrum to make a stand-in. Maybe I can help you with this method. But he may ask you to pay some price, depending on whether you take it or not. The middle-aged official on the opposite side smiled a little sadly: "I am like this, in addition to the clothes on my body, I can sell them for a few dollars, where is there any other 'price'?
Grimm, who was in the same sad mood as him, nodded solemnly, and said a little blankly: "When he and the leader finish their studies and return to their camp, I will take you over." ”
Their luck seemed to be good, and it wasn't long before Dong Hezi, dressed in a green robe, returned in deep thought. Grimm took the middle-aged official who was in a nervous mood and said the request just now. At the end, the gray-haired middle-aged official couldn't help but say with red eyes: "Now I can't take out anything, and I don't even have a gold coin on me." But please also help us once for the sake of our multi-day intersection. When I have the opportunity in the future, I will do my best to repay ~~" When he said the back, his voice was small and pitiful - if he didn't become a beggar or be gnawed into a pile of white bones by wild dogs in the future, he would be lucky, where would he have the opportunity to repay others?
After listening to this, Dong Hezi asked an inconsequential question to the middle-aged official: "Do you know that there are any weaknesses in that city? It is relatively easy to break through and attack the place in the city?" If these insurgents try to break through head-on, it will be useless to outnumber them by ten or twenty times!
Dong Hezi just nodded and said, "It's nothing." It's just that the conversation with the big boss just now was more speculative, and he told me that they have a strategic plan and will no longer do this kind of rogue battle with no future. Rather, it was through the occupation of large cities to obtain income, feed the army, and train talents. If possible, you can also bring the surrounding nobles over to at least keep them neutral. In this way, step by step, they consolidated themselves, and finally won the long-term struggle. Our city is not bad, backed by mountains and facing the great trade road, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and adjacent to the main commercial road. If you can stick to this place, maybe it's an opportunity to strengthen yourself? ”
When the middle-aged official heard this, he immediately found a life-saving straw! If he could make a contribution to this matter, he might still have hope of turning over! So he hurriedly shouted: "Wait! Actually~~Actually, there is a ~~ There is a secret passage for smuggling." He was a little embarrassed and said, "I know only one, but maybe there is more than one." Anyway, everyone dug it up and used it for smuggling. Some of them were dug by the king's army themselves~~ If ~~ If we can negotiate with the people inside and persuade them to accept them, maybe something big will happen! It's just that~~ I don't know what they will do with the officials and nobles in the city? I mean, if the killing is too heavy, I'm afraid that the people inside won't open the secret passage to answer. ”
Dong Hezi said lightly: "Is there really a secret way?hehe~~ You people have a lot of ghost things, digging hollow holes everywhere." Could it be that someone has secretly arranged for all their family members to be outside, and they will stay in the city as a 'naked official', so that they can slip away at any time?" Seeing that the middle-aged official smiled awkwardly again, he said, "No matter about your birds." Come with me now, let's go to the big boss to talk, and if they are willing to agree, we will do business and private affairs together, make a mock-up of you, and secretly go into the city to talk to those who have a heart inside. ”
