Rody frowned, originally just wanted to teach the other party a lesson. But if Tare dared to verbally insult Qiaoqiao's sister, he would definitely not survive. Who is Qiaoqiao's sister? That is Her Majesty the Queen of the current empire! If you insult the royal family, will you still live
Tare smiled coldly: "No nonsense! Come on!"
More than a dozen men swarmed forward, and Rody's eight soldiers from the Wolf Fang Army immediately stopped them. All I heard was the clash of swords and a few miserable screams, and two of Tarre's men were immediately killed on the spot!
Rody's men are all bloodthirsty warriors who have fought in the northwest battlefield. They are merciless and kill without blinking an eye. Although there were many of Tare's men, after two people died, some were timid and did not dare to step forward. Ta Lei was furious. He rampaged through Xiqiu and never met anyone who dared to resist him. After shouting loudly and promising a heavy reward, his men rushed forward again.
Rody stood beside Qiaoqiao with narrowed eyes, just carefully protecting Qiaoqiao. They didn't take any action, but occasionally two people who wanted to take advantage sneaked over and tried to attack, but Rody kicked them all away.
Seeing the screams and blood splattering everywhere, Tare's men were chopping melons and vegetables. Only two or three of the dozen people were left in sight. Rody's men, however, only received some minor injuries. There was blood on the scimitars in their hands, and they looked at Tare with a murderous look on their faces.
Tare was so frightened that he knelt down as soon as his legs gave out. A soldier from the Wolf Fang Army came up and dragged him in front of Rody. Tare was sore all over and was just lying on the ground shaking.
Suddenly, a whistle was heard in the distance, and then a group of soldiers from the public security station separated from the crowd and rushed in.
Tare was relieved, and his face shone again: "Boy! You are dead now!" Then he raised his head and shouted to the pair of security soldiers: "Idiot! Come and save me!!"
Seeing that Tare was captured, the leading security soldier captain waved his men to surround him. With the sword in his hand, he walked towards Rody.
Rody looked stern and shouted: "Go away!" He commanded thousands of troops, and his words were naturally full of momentum. The captain felt shocked and couldn't help but stop, not daring to go up.
"As a police station! It's your duty to arrest people indiscriminately!" Rody's face darkened.
The captain's face turned red, and then he said harshly: "Nonsense! How dare you carry weapons and commit murder on the street! That's a capital crime!"
Qiao Qiao said with a smile: "His men dared to take weapons to the streets! Isn't it a capital crime? The imperial decree states that except for soldiers and samurai, others are not allowed to carry weapons! When it comes to committing crimes, they were the first to do it. Why don't you catch them? them"
The captain's face darkened: "Nonsense! If you dare to offend Mr. Tare, you are seeking death! Arrest him!" The soldiers from the public security station drew their swords and surrounded him.
These people were no better than the ragtag group of people under Ta Lei. They were all well-trained soldiers from the public security station. They were also large in numbers and formed a vague formation, trapping Rody and the others in the middle.
Rody frowned: "Why is this how the Xiqiu Public Security Station handles things? Is this how your garrison commander controls you!" After saying this, Qiaoqiao looked strange and couldn't help but glance at Rody.
The captain said harshly: "You look like a bumpkin when you talk! Xiqiu is the capital of Xilin! There is no garrison in the entire Xilin, so how can there be any garrison commander! Our Xiqiu Public Security Station only obeys the orders of the Auxiliary Government! Mr. Tare is the Auxiliary Government My dear brother, be obedient, put down your weapons, and let Mr. Tare live!"
Rody snorted, looked at Tare who was lying at his feet, and said calmly: "Are you the auxiliary's brother?"
Ta Lei just thought that the other party was afraid, and said loudly: "That's right! Let me go quickly, otherwise, you won't be able to get out of Xiqiu City alive!" He groaned and tried to get up, but was stopped by a soldier from the Wolf Fang Army. Kicked down.
Rody said coldly: "Even if you are an auxiliary officer, you can't cover up the sky with one hand! Xiqiu is the capital of Xilin and a place directly under the governor's jurisdiction. Are you allowed to do whatever you want?"
The captain was impatient and shouted: "Where is the governor in Xiqiu! Let Mr. Tare go quickly!"
Qiaoqiao secretly pulled Roddy and said softly: "Sette, do you really not know, or are you just pretending not to know and toying with them? Where is the governor in the entire Xilin Province? Don't they all listen to your words?"
"What did I say?" Rody was stunned.
Although the soldiers around him were at war with each other, Qiao Qiao had a relaxed look on her face. She held Roddy's hand and smiled: "I said you had changed just now, and now you are pretending to be glib with me! The entire Xilin Province is the fiefdom of your Tulip family. , your Tulipian family's fiefdom is naturally decided by you, the Tulipian family? Xilin is your Tulipian family's place, how can there be an imperial governor? The tax revenue of Xilin Province belongs to your Tulipian family! The soldiers, the auxiliary officials in Xilin and the local officials are all supported by the money and food of your Tulipian family. Speaking of which, these people are all members of your Tulipian family. "
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Rody's face immediately became weird, and he didn't know whether it was better to cry or laugh. This is actually the fiefdom of the Tulip family? ? It's just that although Rody became the fake duke, he really didn't know much about things like family fiefdoms. Even if someone told him occasionally, they would forget it in the blink of an eye.
Seeing that Rody looked weird, the captain couldn't wait any longer. His soldiers shouted threats, waved their swords, and took two steps forward from time to time. The captain was covered in sweat. If Tare had any accident today, his life as a captain, let alone his position, might not be guaranteed...
Qiao Qiao chuckled: "How is it? My Lord Duke, isn't this kind of private visit in disguise very interesting?"
Rody shook his head and was about to speak and tell the other party his identity.
The crowd in the far periphery suddenly burst into excitement, and then someone shouted loudly: "The Auxiliary Lord is here!"
Immediately, a hundred soldiers occupied the perimeter of the square outside, firmly surrounding all the people in the middle. A group of soldiers in local garrison uniforms strode in, holding long swords in hand, separating the crowd. Then a group of cavalry opened the way. Behind them, on a black horse, sat a middle-aged man dressed as a local official from the empire. He looked similar to Tare does have a three-point resemblance.
Qiao Qiao curled her lips and whispered: "For a small auxiliary officer, he is accompanied by so many soldiers when he travels. It's so impressive! In the imperial capital, even the Minister of Military Affairs does not have such a grand display as him."
The man was full of anger and shouted loudly: "Who dares to arrest my brother! Are you all just losers!"
His soldiers led the horse to lead him to the front. He sat on the horse, his face originally full of anger, but his eyes suddenly fell on Rody's face. His originally arrogant face suddenly turned pale, and the sweat on his forehead could be heard. coming. He immediately rolled off his horse, then strode to Rody, knelt down on one knee, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty the Duke! I don't know you are here, damn it!"
Rody was stunned for a moment: "Do you know me?"
The auxiliary officer immediately put on a smile: "I remembered that I went to the Imperial Capital to visit the Duke and Miss Nicole the year before last! Have you forgotten?"
Rody responded vaguely, and then the auxiliary officer stood up, turned around and shouted: "Put your weapons away quickly! Do you want to die if you are so rude to the Duke?"
Rody smiled coldly: "Are you rude? I'm afraid your brother has been rude a long time ago!"
The auxiliary officer was covered in sweat. Seeing his brother paralyzed on the ground, he cruelly kicked him twice and cursed: "Idiot! How dare you offend the Duke! Why don't you get up and beg for mercy from the Duke!"
Tare almost fainted, shivering and got up to kowtow, but Qiaoqiao said coldly: "It's not even possible to beg for mercy. He insulted me, and even more insulted my sister. He will definitely not be able to escape if he dies. I see. You don’t look like a good person! Your brother is so arrogant here, and it’s because of your influence!”
The auxiliary officer's face was pale, but a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He didn't know Qiaoqiao's identity, he just thought she was the Duke's lover or something. Thinking about my status as a Duke, I don’t mind scolding me a few times. You, a little girl, dare to scold me!
However, Rody noticed the other person's eyes and sneered: "I will take your brother away, you stay and disperse these people, and then go to me in the military camp outside the city to take the blame!"
Tare was so frightened that he couldn't even breathe and shouted: "Brother, save me." Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.
The auxiliary officer's heart was tumbling, knowing that this matter could not be solved. Seeing that this matter had offended the Duke, he, the auxiliary officer, might not be able to save himself. I have done a lot of evil in Xiqiu, and there are at least a dozen serious crimes that are worthy of beheading. If the Duke finds out, he will probably die or die... Besides, even though his biological brother is all bad, he has always been a bad person since he was a child. How could a grown up brother watch him die? Besides, he knew too much about himself. If he was taken away, if he said anything, he would be dead!
Thinking of this, his eyes rolled around, seeing that there were only eight guards around the other party. No matter how powerful they were, they would never be as powerful as the hundreds of people he brought with him...
Although there are many civilians onlookers in the surrounding square, the outside of the square is guarded by his own personal soldiers. The hundreds of people around him are all his trusted subordinates who usually eat and drink by themselves. They just don't do anything. Kill this Duke! He sneaked into the city anyway! Although there were hundreds of civilians watching around, we had no choice but to kill them all alive! There is no way to find out afterwards! Afterwards, he casually framed it on anyone. He just said that the Duke traveled incognito and was killed by robbers. He took a few death row inmates from the prison and chopped them... In Xiqiu, he can cover the sky with one hand. Even if the higher-ups send people to investigate, he will still be there. Who dares to say more here! No matter how much you think about it, you can't overturn the case!
Even if the emperor finally pursues the case, without evidence, the most he can do is to accuse himself of incompetence! It’s also dead without any evidence! He sneaked out without anyone else! It’s not my fault! If that doesn't work, find someone from the public security station to be the scapegoat!
Thinking of this, his eyes showed a fierce light, he slowly stood up and took a few steps back. He said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency, my brother has offended you, and it is not a death penalty. You can just give him a good beating and forget about it."
Qiao Qiao said loudly: "Nonsense! Who are you! How dare you plead for him!"
When it comes to this point, we have no choice but to break up. Rody's men picked up Ta Lei and were about to leave. The auxiliary officer saw it with hesitation on his face. He finally gritted his teeth and thought that giving it a try would be better than waiting to die! After waving his hand, his men got the order and immediately blocked the way.
Rody's face turned cold, he turned around and stared at him, saying in a deep voice: "What do you want to do!"
The auxiliary officer secretly gave an order to his confidant, asking him to go out and order the soldiers outside the square to hold the exit of the square, and no one was allowed to get out later!
He looked at Roddy and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty Duke! You forced me to do this, and I don't want to do this! As the saying goes, you have to take a step in everything. If you don't give me a way to survive, I have no choice but to... hum!"
With a glance, the pair of cavalrymen surrounded them and aimed their spears at Rody and the others.
Rody frowned and said loudly: "I am the Duke of Tulip! How dare you attack me! Aren't you afraid of the crime of rebellion!"
The soldiers were shocked, hesitated for a moment, and then heard the auxiliary officer shouting loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! Kill this kid! No one will be left alive! If he goes out, everyone will die!"
The auxiliary officer even shouted: "Brothers! Let's kill this kid today! No one of these people will be left alive! Everyone is safe! Everyone will be rewarded with a hundred gold coins!"
Several confidant officers of the auxiliary officer immediately ordered to urge them. Those soldiers were all personal soldiers of the auxiliary officer. There was no imperial governor in Xilin, and people from the Tulip family usually didn't care much about this place. The local garrison was all led by an auxiliary officer. Although the auxiliary officer also lost money from the air force and the local garrison was in chaos, these hundreds of soldiers were all soldiers he recruited himself. Although they wore imperial uniforms, they only obeyed the auxiliary's orders. With the transfer of political officials, these people followed him as the local overlord. They were used to being kings and hegemons in the local area. They almost became the personal armed forces of the assistant political officials. When they heard the officers' shouts and huge rewards, they no longer hesitated and stepped out one after another. Take two steps forward... Even if some of them are hesitant, seeing that everyone else has taken the leap, they can only follow the trend.
Seeing that the opponent's face was fierce and his face was torn, and the opponent's soldiers gathered around him, Rody felt nervous.
The eight Wolf Fang Army soldiers under his command also looked gloomy. Although they were brave, they were still nervous when facing these hundreds of people. They all thought that their own death would not be a pity. If the Duke was harmed here, even the Wolf Fang Army would be embarrassed!
Seeing the eight soldiers holding scimitars in their hands, they were forced back step by step by the heavy troops in front of them.
In the distance, a group of soldiers with weapons in hand surrounded the civilians who were watching. The civilians were scared and pale. Although they wanted to run away, they saw the dazzling sword right in front of them. How could they dare to resist when they were unarmed
Rody pulled out his machete and said to his subordinates in a deep voice: "You guys will protect Miss Qiaoqiao later! If you have a chance, run towards the military camp!" Qiaoqiao finally showed an expression of fear on his face, but seeing Rody's resolute expression, Drawing his sword to protect him in front of him, he couldn't help but feel moved, and a thought came to his mind: Even if he really died here today, it would be worth it to die with him!
