"Alas!" Xia sighed, walked up, lifted Philip on the ground, put it on the carriage first, and then looked at him: "Okay, talk about it, Mr. Philip, I haven't seen you for a long time. , you seem to be a bit miserable right now."
Philip's face was like dust, his expression was miserable, and he suddenly felt sadness from his heart, and cried out: "I was blind in those days! Today I was plotted against by that shameless and despicable bastard!!"
It turned out that Philip was beaten by Xi Ya in the ring that day. He was severely injured and his bones were broken. That's okay, Xi Ya also hated him for being vicious and cut off his thumbs! Even if it is to abolish him!
This kind of samurai practiced all swordsmanship. Without thumbs in both hands, he could no longer hold weapons, and his skills were at least half discounted.
Even worse, he was abolished on the spot, and after he was brought back to his subordinates, he originally wanted to heal the injury first, and then slowly think of other ways. But after he was carried back by his subordinates, when others saw his injury, the situation had undergone some subtle changes.
The first day, he was lying in bed, and a doctor came to treat his injury. He didn't feel any change, but the next day, the situation was not right. There were originally two or three henchmen under his direct line, but they disappeared the next day, and the people around him who were in charge of taking care of him also changed a few. He was seriously injured and couldn't get out of bed. Lying on the bed was like a dead person. He felt bad in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.
Gradually, I felt that the attitude of his subordinates became more and more indifferent to him. In the past, he was the leader, calling for him and holding him back. Someone brought tea and water. Now lying on the bed, his subordinates started to take care of him, and then gradually he stopped listening. Don't ask. Fortunately, he has been the leader for many years, and there are always one or two people who are nostalgic and quietly give him medicine.
Philip was also a cunning and scheming person. He hid the medicine and secretly took the topical application, but he deliberately pretended to be seriously injured and could not move. The food delivered by the food delivery person gradually became rough. Starting from the third day, he threw a piece of dry food every day. Bread was on the bed—these Philips also endured.
It was only later that he learned that in the days when he was seriously injured, after everyone found out that he had been abolished, his subordinates became dissent!
Originally, these samurai groups depended on their martial skills to eat, and their martial skills were abolished, so how could they convince the public? What I didn't expect was that the first one to show his fangs to him was Xavier, his most reliant deputy before.
This Xavier has been with him for many years, and even his martial arts are all trained by him. He is like half an apprentice, but this person has a different heart. When Philip was in bed, two or three of his confidants were already A group of traitors led by Xavier was killed directly.
Then Xavier coerced and lured in front of the hospital bed, forcing Philip to hand over power.
It turned out that Philip was a cunning man and had always kept his hand in things. Fortunately, he finally saved his life: he kept most of the property of the Silver Python Warriors in a reputable large chamber of commerce in the imperial capital. In the Silver Club, the wealth that was deposited accounted for more than 70% of the wealth accumulated by the Silver Python Warriors over the years. Such a sum of money is stored in that chamber of commerce, and only he, Philip, can take it out, and there is absolutely no way for others to claim it.
If it wasn't for the wealth that the Silver Python Warriors had accumulated over the years, Xavier would have killed him with one sword while he was on the hospital bed.
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 injury was better. His loyal subordinates secretly gave him the wound medicine before, so he secretly recuperates, and when there are people, he deliberately pretends to be seriously injured - it is considered that he is cunning and changeable, but he actually deceived Xavier.
And the people who were secretly loyal to him also helped him cover up a little bit, which forced him to delay it for a while.
Finally, after a few days of delay, Xavier came to persecute him every day. Seeing that the other party was getting impatient, if he didn't pay the money, I was afraid that the other party could not help but kill him. Philip finally agreed.
Then Xavier brought a group of cronies and hijacked Philip to go to the trading guild in the imperial capital, and went to the chamber of commerce to cash out the property.
The next day, I went to the trading guild to withdraw the deposit. In the chamber of commerce, I got the property and installed two large cars. Philip suddenly had a seizure. He had recovered a lot from his injuries, although his true strength could never be recovered. , but it was no problem to deal with a few ordinary warriors, and Xavier was concerned about money, so he was less vigilant about him, a waste man. Philip took the opportunity to cut down a few people, and then grabbed a carriage and rushed out of the street.
Although Xavier struggled to catch up, at this time, several of Philip's loyal subordinates were desperately delaying. After Xavier killed all of Philip's loyalists, Philip had already driven away.
He was really cunning. He drove to the city gate in broad daylight to escape. He figured that in the imperial city, as long as there were city guards patrolling the streets and beside the city gate, Xavier would not be able to catch up. He dared to openly act in chaos and murder, but he was so desperate to escape from the imperial capital. Xavier and others chased after them on horseback, but after all, they were a bit slower. Until they ran out of the imperial capital, Philip was finally caught up.
"It's my own greed to blame." Philip lay on the carriage and panted: "If I leave the city and throw the carriage away and dig into that path or the woods, they won't find me. But I'm running away now, and people don't find me. It’s a waste, I just want to save the property of this car so that I can support myself in the future, but the carriage is heavy and slow, and it still leaves wheel marks when it travels all the way…”
He drove all the way to the east in a car, but he didn't expect that at the east of the fork in the road, just after Dodoro rode on his horse and separated from Xi Ya and others, he met Philip who was walking east.
Although Philip didn't recognize Dodoro (when he was ambushed, Dodoro immediately rolled down to the wheel), but Dodoro separated from Xia and others this time, but changed his equipment and wore an extremely arrogant dress. The magician's robe!
Although he did not wear a magician badge, how could Philip not know the style of this magician's robe? Seeing that the horse that Dotolo rides is a good horse, there are also several exquisite luggage hanging on the saddle, and the saddle and whip are all high-quality goods. !
Knowing that his situation was in crisis, Philip deliberately became friends with Dodo Luo. Originally, Dodo Luo did not recognize that Philip was the leader of the Silver Python Warriors, but as a result, the two of them said a few words, and they immediately became identities and recognized each other.
It's good to recognize this. Dodo Luo is not a good stubble. If he saw a master like Philip in the past, he would naturally hide away. Now that the other party is so embarrassed, he can't go up and beat the underdogs. reason
Although Philip's strength has been greatly damaged, there is no problem with dealing with Dodo Luo, but he knows that Dodo Luo is a person from Xia, how can he dare to do it to Dodo? He could only beg and beg for mercy, and when he heard that Dotolo was out looking for the "Magic Kiss Taro", Philip immediately swore that he could find the Devil Kiss Taro, and he didn't need to take risks in the Chaos Territory! As long as Dodoroken lets him go, then ten magic kiss taro, he promises to serve it!
When Dotolo heard this, he was so happy that a flower appeared on his face.
But before he was happy for a few minutes, the pursuers behind him came to kill him. After some melee, Philip fought with all his might, and Jiache and Dodoro rushed out of the encirclement, crossed the fork in the road, and headed west.
"Then we were rescued?" Afre Carter couldn't help sighing when he heard this, and the sadness of the rabbit died and the fox flashed across his face.
Although he had a grudge with Philip, but at this moment the other party was at the end of the road, seeing the arrogant enemy in such a hurry, there was really no hatred in his heart.
Seeing Philip's disheveled face, he no longer had the domineering appearance he used to lead a large group to besiege him, Afre Carter hesitated for a moment, looked at Xia Ya and said in a low voice, "Sir, this guy already looks like this, and he is considered an old man. God punished him, why not…”
"Well, I'm too lazy to trouble him." Xi Ya pouted: "However, Philip, you told my people, you know where you can get the magic kiss taro, is this true?"
Philip nodded and said solemnly: "I dare not hide the baron." At this moment, he is facing Xia Ya, he is a down-to-earth person, and he already knows Xia Ya's identity, and he doesn't dare to make mistakes. The attitude should be more respectful and more respectful. .
"Very good, if you say it, I will bypass you, and... I will save your life! Don't go east this way, follow us west, anyway, I think 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 wherever you go, you can follow our motorcade to the west, if someone chases you on the road, I will help you stop it, how about it?"
Although Philip had already made the intention to die just now, if there is a way for people to survive, who would be willing to die? At this moment, a way to survive was suddenly in front of him. His eyes moved, and he stared at Xia Ya with wide eyes. His expression was complicated, suddenly bright and dark.
After all, the person in front of him was the murderer who abolished him that day! It can be said that he is so down and out today. It can be said that it is Xia Ya's work. If his skills are still there, how can the people under him dare to rebel
But at this moment, at the end of the road, Xia Ya saved his life again today...
"Thank you, Lord Baron." Philip rolled over and rolled off the carriage. He threw himself in the dust on the ground. Xiaya stood still and just looked at him coldly: "Don't thank me, equal trade, you provide the magic kiss taro, I'll keep you safe all the way. It's fair, but if you do anything wrong, I'll kill you, it's just a matter of moving your fingers."
Philip smiled bitterly: "My lord, I have seen many things through this incident... If it wasn't for my usual vicious actions, precepts and deeds, the people around me would not have been immoral and ungrateful to me... Besides, I am now You're already a half-dead man, how can you still have the ability to do evil?"
Xia Ya nodded: "Get up, I'll save your life!"
Philip got up, and without waiting for Xia Ya to ask, he took the initiative to say: "The magic kiss taro was originally only produced in the Chaos Territory outside the eastern border of the empire, in the territory of the elves. However, I know that, There is still a place on this continent, and there is also a magic kiss taro!"
"Where?" Xia Ya's eyes flashed, and Dodoro, who was on the horse next to him, also stared at Philip.
"Wildfire! Zaku tribe!"
When Xia Ya heard this, her eyes moved.
He grew up on the wildfire, how did he not know about the Zaku tribe
The Zaku tribe is another race besides dwarves and goblins on the Wildfire Plains.
However, the Zaku natives, although they are natives, are also human beings after all. They are just a group of uncivilized savages. Their nature and customs are different from those of the Byzantine Empire and the Odins. These indigenous people are not yet civilized and live in groups, deep in the eastern part of the wildfire.
The eastern part of the wildfire plain passes through a savage jungle, and goes all the way to the east, and you can reach the tribe of the Zaku natives, in a secret forest. Although these Zaku people are not civilized, they are still human after all. Dwarves and goblins do not interact with humans, but the Zaku tribe has many connections with the human civilization world. The Zaku tribe is rich in some rare goods, which are good things that can be found in the civilized world.
For example, the tobacco produced by the Zaku natives is a good thing that the nobles love. It is said that those tobaccos are the young girls in the Zaku natives, who use tobacco leaves to rub the cigarettes on their bare thighs - not only tobacco The taste is mellow, but thinking about the charm in it makes it a little more interesting.
In addition, there is a gold mine near the Zaku tribe, which is rich in gold, and the local jungle is rich in monsters, and the Zaku tribe is brave and good at fighting, especially when walking in the jungle, they are elusive, and they are better at driving Beasts, and the use of various poisons. Therefore, even though there is a gold mine near the tribe, for a long time, the human beings in the civilized world outside did not dare to invade, and could only go to trade with the Zaku natives.
Fortunately, the Zaku natives don't hate humans like the dwarves, and they are willing to do some deals with human caravans, using their specialty tobacco, gold, spices and Warcraft fur and magic cores in exchange for some goods in the human world. I heard that in Zaku Among the native tribes, the most popular commodity in the human civilization world is wine! The Zaku natives do not know how to grow food or make wine. They especially like the mellow wine brewed by humans, as well as silk utensils and ironware, which are very popular among the Zaku native tribes.
"Zaku native tribe, I know that place." Xiaya narrowed 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 Warriors did not have the climate they are today. Back then, my brother and I also brought a group of warriors to serve as guard mercenaries for some large business groups, earning some money. Money for food. Once, I went to Yehuoyuan with a business group, and also entered the tribal territory of the Zaku natives. I saw the magic kiss taro in the Zaku native tribe with my own eyes. Yes! The business group that went to trade at that time is said to have seen this plant in the room of the chief of the Zaku tribe, and was very surprised. Later, I heard from the Zaku that this plant existed in that forest. Moreover, it seems that the number is not in the minority."
As he said that, for fear that Xia Ya would not believe it, Philip roughly described the appearance characteristics of the magic kiss taro. Xiaya listened, looked at Dodoro, and Dodoro nodded slightly, thinking that what Philip said was right.
Xia Ya sighed: "Okay, trust you once."
After a pause, he turned his head to look at Dodo Luo: "You deserve your life! Haha, if you go to the east alone, we all think you are dead this time, but if there is something like that in the wildfire... Haha! That's Lao Tzu's territory. If it really exists, I'll find it for you! Although I haven't been to the Zaku tribe, but I ran across the nearby forest, but I didn't dare to approach it. The tribal territory of the natives, 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."
Duo Duo Luo was overjoyed, how could he be unhappy if he could stab the magic kiss taro without risking his life? My life is my own, who would want to lose it in vain
※※※
In this way, Philip, the original enemy, also joined the team of Xia Ya and others. Xiaya separated two horses and pulled on Philip's carriage. The carriage was heavy, and the wheels rattled as it drove. Several large boxes were built on top of it. How much money did the group collect
Xia Ya remembered that he was nervous recently, and looking at Philip's large car of belongings, he couldn't help but accidentally think: Anyway, everyone is an enemy and not a friend. With such a good opportunity, do you need to blackmail him
Philip didn't notice it, probably when he wanted to come, this Mr. Xia was famous, a nobleman, and a high-ranking official. How could he covet his "little money"
But he didn't expect that Xia Ya's red eyes had turned around on his carriage for a long time.
Fortunately, Xia Ya is not so unbearable yet, such a thought, just think about it.
It just seems that today's things are really one after another. The group of people traveled eastward. At night, they came to a small town to stay overnight. Only 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, pulled by four good horses, came quickly. There was a person in the carriage. From a distance, he looked familiar. When he got closer, he heard the driver in the distance. The person in the room shouted loudly, "The one in front! Is that Baron Xia! Please wait a minute!"
The voice was thick with a bit of laziness, and Xia heard it familiar, and squinting at it, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Roddy? !
That Minas driver... ah no! The little duke! !
The carriage was light, and it was four good horse-drawn carriages, and it caught up in front of him in an instant. Roddy's face was dusty and gray, and he was obviously rushing all the way, but when he came to the front, his appearance changed.
It turned out that when I saw this young gentleman, he had a big beard on his face, but today I came to see it, but his face and chin were bare, and the beard all over his face was shaved! His original appearance belonged to the refined and elegant type. Before, he had to leave a large beard, which was really nondescript. Now that he has recovered his original appearance, he is still a handsome young man!
Jumping out of the carriage, Roddy quickly strode towards Xi Ya, Xi Ya got off the horse, stood beside the horse, and looked at Roddy who was running, with a smile on his face: "Little Sir, run after me. what?"
He made up his mind that if the other party repented and came back to the house, then he would immediately take the opportunity to return this hot potato to the other party!
"Haha! Lord Baron!" Roddy walked in front of him, but solemnly behaved politely, which made Xia a little puzzled: "Yi? You are the future Lord Duke, what kind of courtesy to me."
"You'll find out later." Roddy winked at Xi Ya, then pointed to the carriage behind him: "I didn't expect you to go so fast, these things were packed a little slower, but fortunately they caught up. Yes. Baron Char, this car is a small thing, please accept it!"
gift? !
Xia Ya was really stunned.
"This..." Tu turtle grinned and rubbed his hands: "This... how embarrassing?" He said so, but his eyes kept glancing at the car: I don't know what good things the Duke's family gave as gifts? Well, it's best to use those golden things with human heads printed on them...
How smart is Roddy, seeing Xiaya's expression, he guessed the meaning of the three-pointed opponent, winked at Xiaya, Xiaya understood, and Roddy walked aside, and Roddy whispered: "In the car It’s a box of purple gold coins! It’s worth about 40,000 gold coins, and there are four barrels of good wine—let me explain first, the gold didn’t come from me, I found the wine myself.”
As soon as Xia Ya heard this, there was no question of thinking about wine!
gold! Forty thousand gold coins! ! !
Almost both eyes of the turtle have turned into the appearance of copper coins!
But after coughing, the turtle pretended to smile: "This... how embarrassing? You are sending the house and money..."
Roddy was stunned for a moment before he said: "I don't know about the house. It's natural that my father wants to give it to you. But you must accept this money. My Minas family doesn't owe anyone any favors! "
Um? Owe people
Xia Ya was stunned, Roddy leaned into Xia Ya's ear and whispered: "My sister, the concubine of the crown prince, but you saved it yourself! Our Minas family can't help repaying this kindness! "
As soon as he said this, Xi Ya suddenly poured a bucket of cold water on his head! With a change of face, Huo Ran stepped back and whispered, "You know that I know?"
This is a bit weird, but Roddy understood it as soon as he heard it, and smiled slightly: "We know you know, don't worry, it's just me and my father who know. Your Majesty and my sister don't know."
Having said that, he patted Xia Ya's shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't leak this matter, we all understand why you are acting stupid. But you saved our Minas family. The daughter of the clan, this kindness cannot but be repaid!"
After a pause, Roddy smiled and said: "Also, I heard that you didn't repair that house, and I think you have no money in your hands. I have already told my subordinates, that house, although you are no longer the imperial capital, but I I will send someone to take care of you, and I will pay you for the maintenance fee, so that you don’t have to run back and forth.”
Xia Ya smiled embarrassingly and raised his hand: "thank you, then. I really don't have any money in my hands now, so I'm welcome to accept these gifts from you!"
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm relieved if you accept it, and I will ask you to take care of me in the future."
Xia Yaqi said: "You are the future duke, I am just a baron, how can I take care of you?"
Roddy shook his head: "Father won't let me say it now, then you will naturally know later."
At this point, Roddy was about to leave when he suddenly looked back at Xia Ya with a strange expression: "That... Before I came, I heard that you have already worshipped Mr. Cavie Hill as a teacher?"
Xia Ya stared: "It spreads so fast? You all know?"
Roddy laughed dryly: "That... In fact, I also worshipped Mr. Cavie Hill as a teacher back then, but the teacher taught me for a few years, and then I quit."
"Yi? Why don't you continue to learn from him?" Xia was curious.
Roddy frowned and smiled bitterly: "Although my family is a Duke's family, my father has been strict with me since I was a child. After I was eighteen years old, I had a public office, and all the expenses were always borne by myself!! Mr. Cavie Hill Although I have a lot of knowledge, but... But the annual filial piety, asking for money is too cruel, brother, I can't afford it!!"
As soon as Xia Ya heard it, it was as if he had found the same sickness and pity for each other. He nodded repeatedly, sighed with emotion, and stomped his feet: "Not bad! That old bangzi is really not a thing, he made money by teaching disciples! I shaved him before I left the imperial capital. Ten thousand gold coins!"
As they spoke, the two held their heads, burst into tears, and shouted in unison, "Long live understanding!"
At this moment, the two cherished each other, sighed together for a while, and choreographed a few words from Cavie Hill together. Finally, they looked at each other and laughed, and they felt a lot closer.
It was the first time that Xi Ya was scolded Caviehir with him, and he was really happy, and seeing this Rhodey became more pleasing to the eye.
Finally, after speaking for a while, Roddy really said goodbye, turned around and left, took off a horse from the carriage, turned over and rode on it. He was born in a wealthy military family, and his riding skills were very good, even if the horse had no saddle. The reins didn't care at all. The man was on the horse and smiled at Xia Ya: "Take care of all the way here, you and I will have a chance to meet again soon!"
After speaking, the little duke turned his horse and ran away a few steps before throwing a sentence from a distance: "Xia Ya, don't forget that there are people in the imperial capital who still care about you day and night!!"
Throwing this last sentence, Xia Ya was originally moved, but suddenly her face became stiff. She opened her mouth and looked at the back of the little duke. After a long time, she suddenly shivered.
"Fuck! I thought he was a good guy! It turns out that his mother is a rabbit! Damn it! I don't want you to remember me! Get the hell out of there! Next time we meet, just punch him!"
