Chapter 318: The Way Back
The maid's screams resounded throughout the town, but the ghost ugly said in a deep voice without care: "Come on, clean your hands." The screaming maids were immediately shocked by the ghost's voice, but none of them dared to step forward, and the ghost frowned slightly and said again: "Come on, clean your hands!"
This time the tone was much heavier than before, the maids who collapsed on the ground stood up with each other's arms, and finally a more courageous maid took the basin with a frightened face, came to the side of the ghost, looked at the bloodstained right hand, the maid trembled and fished out the handkerchief in the water, and then washed the ghost's hand, the water in the basin suddenly became blood red, and the ghost ugly turned his head sideways and asked, "What's your name?"
"Hui, Hui, my lord, slave and maid, slave and maid have no name. The maid lowered her head but saw that it was the round-eyed corpse of Teucer, this look frightened her to retreat again and again, the ghost ugly silently looked at the people around her with horror and despair in her eyes, and smiled in her heart, she didn't expect that such a remote place could still be governed by the temple, it seems that her way back may not be easy.
Teucer's concentration did make the ghost ugly feel interesting, but the ghost still did not hesitate to choke his neck with his hand, almost before he could react, he was already dead, Teucer was going to kill him, the ghost ugly had already known that his knife was smeared with poison, and as for why he wanted to kill the ghost ugly, as early as when the two of them were talking, the ghost ugly was already suspicious, because he said that there was no church here, which was impossible in the Kotler Empire, and when the ghost ugly began to enter the town, he obviously saw that there was a church, but the ghost ugly couldn't understand why he waited until the next day to do it, could it be that something was born last night?
"From tomorrow, your name will be Lan'er, and you will be responsible for serving me, did the mayor of the town meet anyone yesterday?" Ghost Ugly raised the handmaid's chin with his hand and asked, Lan'er shook her head and said I don't know, but there was indeed a person last night, but what it was, she really didn't know, and then she and the other two maids were ordered to wait for Ghost Ugly to get up before dawn, Ghost Ugly nodded, it seems that Teucer wanted to kill himself on a temporary basis, but no matter what, now that the person has been killed, he has to find out the person he met first.
Let Lan'er gather all the subordinates, and also bring out Teucer's family, the ghost ugly is right, although this Teucer is not very old, but he already has six wives, but he has never had a son, all the daughters were born, a total of ten, these people have long known that Teucer was killed, but when they really saw the corpse, there were still many people who fainted in fright, the ghost ugly glanced around and asked, "Who did Teucer see yesterday, who knows?" No one spoke, and the ghost snorted coldly and said, "It's useless to hide it, if you don't say it, it's the same fate as this corpse!"
Everyone's faces changed suddenly, and one of the subordinates couldn't help but speak: "It's from the church, but I don't know what exactly it said, because at that time, only the mayor and him were in the house, and I didn't hear anything." ”
The ghost ugly looked at the pale subordinate, nodded and said, "Now that Teucer is dead, you have divided the family property, leave here, my Crescent City army will take over the Balkan Province in the near future, pass this news to me, and in addition, find me a groom and a carriage!"
The things he wanted were quickly taken out by everyone, except for Lan'er and the two spare horses, the ghost ugly only took some silver coins for the road, but after leaving the town, he still went to the old man's house first, and after leaving some money, he left, and the harpoon was inserted in front of the door, thinking that in a short time, this place would become very safe.
All the way north, there have been a few checks on the road, but the ghost ugly is alert, often leaving in advance, after several tosses, the ghost ugly is to dismiss the groom, drive the carriage himself, only Lan'er in the car, plus also specially dressed up Lan'er, but it is like a wandering rich lady, the ghost ugly took off his mask, appeared in front of the checkers as an extremely ugly groom, until out of the Balkan Province, the ghost ugly did not show flaws, after all, ugly people, and this kind of poor and sour appearance, how can it be the provincial lord that the temple focuses on。
But what is surprising is that this Balkan province is surprisingly big, the ghost ugly walked for three days, and changed horses several times in the middle, but he didn't go out, and even the ghost thought he was lost, and the amazing thing is that the maid Lan'er was normal, and the ghost ugly couldn't help but ask some words curiously, but Lan'er had already been used to this kind of upside-down life, for her, it was nothing at all.
After all, what she thinks about is how to live, and then how to serve good ghosts and ugly, in her opinion, there are only these two things to do, what else can she worry about?
After walking for another day, I finally saw a small city, and when I entered the city, I learned that it had passed the Balkan provinces, but this blank area has never been divided into provinces, and naturally no one will build a city, and what the ghost didn't expect is that this is actually Barossa, the province of cotton and linen, so that is to say, he is only two provinces away from Crescent City, but how should this go next?
Are you looking for the Provincial Lord Old Kyle? The first thing that Ghost Ugly thought of was naturally the old lord of this province, but he is now a loner, even if he could give a helping hand before, but the situation was not clear at that time, and maintaining neutrality was a very effective means, and now he must choose a side, otherwise he may be caught between two parties, Ghost Ugly can't make up his mind, so he has to go on the road alone, but Barossa Province is bigger than he imagined, and it took three days for Ghost Ugly to come to the dividing line between Winston Province and Barossa Province without danger, but surprisingly, in front of Ghost Ugly, there are already people waiting for him。
And it's not just one person.
At this time, the ghost ugly noticed that there was only one carriage on the entire road, and on the opposite side there were countless cavalry waiting quietly, even if he wanted to escape, I am afraid he would not be able to escape, and greeted Lan'er, the ghost ugly walked forward calmly, but when he got closer, the ghost ugly regretted a little, because the person standing in front of this team was none other than the lord of the Barossa Province, Kyle!
I was surprised, but the ghost was planning to take a risk, his face was not seen by Old Kyle, and his current dress should be reasonable, maybe he could pass the test.
Sure enough, when they came to the team, the ghost clown was stopped, the soldier interrogated a few words, the ghost clown pretended to be sincerely afraid to answer, and then the soldier thought about old Kyle and cast a look, old Kyle nodded and the team separated, and the ghost hurriedly thanked him, and drove the carriage away, while old Kyle continued to look ahead, looking anxious to wait.
When the ghost clown walked to the center of the group, a voice suddenly came from behind, and the cold sweat of the ghost clown instantly flowed down his head.
"Lord Ghost, you don't have to leave in such a hurry, do you?"
The movement stiffened slightly, and the ghost ugly continued to drive the car calmly, but he didn't want the soldiers from all sides to have already surrounded him, and surrounded him, and there were cavalry spears on his body, and the ghost knew that as long as he moved slightly, those long spears and short knives that flashed cold would inevitably stab themselves into honeycombs.
The ghost ugly turned around and changed his previous care, and his face returned to normal and said: "When did you know about me?" Along the way, the ghost ugly thought that he had not done anything out of the ordinary, even if Lan'er was present, he was also serving wholeheartedly, and there was absolutely no transgression, there should have been a lot of interrogation in front of him who had been evaded, and he was recognized at this time, and he was still waiting here, I am afraid that when he first entered this province, he was already targeted, and the Barossa province also had plenty of time to prepare.
"Speaking of which, Lord Ghost may not believe it, the Tork you killed is unfortunately my wife's cousin, and this Lan'er next to you was bought by my wife when she was a child and given to Teucer, Tork died, naturally I know that the Lord appeared in the Balkan Province, in that case, do you think you are still stealth?" There are rows of soldiers between the two, the ghost ugly body has not yet healed, and the space is restricted and he can't swing, he can only listen quietly, but what old Kyle said is what the ghost and ugly really didn't expect, who can say this kind of thing clearly, can only say that he is unlucky.
"So, what are you going to do with me?" Ghost Ugly sighed, clenched the whip in his hand, ready to strike at any time, not to mention anything else, at least it was okay to hold out for a while, if the enemy's strength was not strong, it was not impossible to kill Old Kyle directly.
"What can I do, the one in my family is crying and crying at me every day, I'm old, but I can't stand this kind of torture, so ......" Old Kyle paused, the ugly lips were closed, the knuckles were white, and the situation suddenly became tense.
"Please go and save His Majesty the Emperor as soon as possible!"
The ghost was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that he was hallucinating, but old Kyle waved his hand and said: "The old family is deeply trusted by the emperor, and it is a big crime for the new emperor to not be able to make a pilgrimage to the throne, and now that His Majesty the Emperor is in danger, I am afraid that in addition to the other two generalissimos, there is only Your Excellency." Old Kyle lined up the crowd and came to the ghost and said without pretense: "This is my Barossa's 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry, Lord Wanwang will lead them to save the new emperor and put down the rebellion." ”
The ghost who came back to his senses couldn't help but stutter a little and asked, "Me?"
Unexpectedly, Old Kyle's next words surprised the ghost even more, and he even thought that he was being tricked by the old man in front of him.
"In the Winston family, General Jamie has been prepared, and the two thousand strong troops of the Winston family will also go out with the adults, and the rebels will besiege Crescent Moon City for a full ten days, and they are in danger!"
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!
