Chapter 872 Knights

It was getting late, and Nanyang Port, which had been noisy all day, was not calmed down, but became even more lively. The docks and streets were full of hawkers selling goods. The reason why it was so lively was mainly because the weather was hot in Nanyang Port, especially when the sun was hanging in the sky during the day, it could simply dry people. It was not until the sun set that it felt cooler. So those who stayed at home to avoid the scorching heat came out one after another, and the vendors naturally had to seize the time to do business.

Gerry picked up the towel on his shoulder to wipe his sweat, then took the dough handed over by the vendor opposite and turned around and left. Although it was not the first time he spent money to buy something, he was still very surprised in his heart. Why could the Song people treat paper as money? Although this kind of paper is very exquisitely made, no matter how exquisite it is, it is just paper. How can it be compared with gold and silver?

Unable to understand the truth, Grissus stopped thinking about it and began to sort out the situation he had learned today in his mind, but his feet were constantly passing through alleys and finally came to a very dilapidated yard. When he came to the door, he did not push the door directly, but knocked on the door with a special method outside, and finally a sound came from inside. Then the door was opened, Gris immediately squeezed into the door, and then the door was immediately closed.

"Gerry, why did you go so long before you come back?" As soon as Gerry entered, he immediately saw a big bearded man with brown hair and blue eyes asking him with an anxious look on his face.

"I went to earn some money and bought some noodles. We have to eat enough, otherwise how can we save people?" Griyang explained the noodles in his hand.

When he saw the dough cake, the big-haired bearded man's eyes lit up immediately. He grabbed a dough cake and stuffed it into his mouth. As a result, he was choked and rolled his eyes because he choked. Fortunately, there were other people in the yard, so he hurriedly brought him a kettle. The big-haired man took a few mouthfuls before shouting: "It's delicious. This is the first time I have found that the dough cake is so delicious!"

In fact, it was not that the noodles were delicious, but that he was too hungry. At this time, the others in the yard also came out and Grey distributed the noodles. In addition, he had a total of eighteen people, and he only bought eighteen noodles. This was the money he earned after working for a long time. Although the noodles were made very rough, it was said that this kind of noodles was made of a fruit on the tree and tasted a little sour. However, it could barely satisfy his hunger.

"Gerry, have you heard of any news today?" At this moment, a tall middle-aged man covered in blood slowly ate the bread and asked Gerry. The middle-aged man was named Furus, the leader of their group. In order to escape from the human trafficker Hu San, they suddenly launched an attack on the dock. Although they finally escaped, many people were injured. Furus was cut seven times to protect his brothers. If he hadn't been strong, he would have fallen down long ago.

"I heard some very useful news!" Gerry immediately spoke when he heard Furus' inquiry. "I had been monitoring the trafficker who detained His Highness Agnes. Yesterday, His Highness was bought by a young man and taken away from the trafficker. Now he lives in a small courtyard near the port. I originally wanted to get close to rescue His Highness, but I found that the yard was very tightly defended and I could not get close. This morning, I went to the yard to monitor again, but I didn't expect to alarm the guards there and almost got caught by them."

Gree and others were Agnes's guards. These people were originally caught by Hu San with Agnes, but when they were in the port, they launched a sudden attack and wanted to escape with Agnes. However, at that time, Hu San had too many people under him and Agnes was not imprisoned with them, so they had no way to take Agnes away in chaos. In addition, the guards of the port arrived immediately, and they were about to be wiped out. But at this moment, Furus decisively gave up the plan to rescue Agnes and led the people to escape first before making plans. This broken yard was their temporary place to settle down.

"Who is the other party? He actually has such strict protection?" Furus couldn't help but ask in a deep voice when he heard this. When he escaped from Europe, there were only one guard and three large ships. However, after the first escape from the sea, most of them died in various shipwrecks. In the end, they were only one ship and dozens of people left. When they encountered pirates at sea, most of the people on the ship died in battle, and now there are only a dozen of them. It is harder to rescue Agnes in a foreign country like Nanyang Port than to climb to the sky.

"I asked inquired this afternoon that the owner of the yard has an extraordinary origin. It is said that he was a servant of a nobleman from the Song Dynasty. He mainly runs some business for the nobleman. It is said that the nobleman has a great influence. Just a servant has become a famous figure in Nanyang Port. In addition, the location of the yard is also very bad. It is surrounded by the families of the Navy officers of the Song Dynasty. There are people patrolling the streets, so it is probably very difficult to rescue His Highness Agnes from there." Grie drank at this time. Among the eighteen living people, only he spoke the Song Dynasty's words best and was not injured. Therefore, the task of inquiring about the news naturally fell on him.

When they heard the news that Gerry had found out, Furus and others frowned. Although they had just entered Nanyang Port, as an excellent knight, they had collected all the local information as much as possible. So they all knew that Nanyang Port was an enclave of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was the destination of their trip. However, according to their plan, they should have protected His Highness Agnes to arrive at the capital of the Song Dynasty and then make plans. But now they are in trouble here in Nanyang Port. They can't find anyone if they want to ask for rescue. Moreover, they don't believe in anyone, so they can only rely on themselves.

After a long silence, Furus, the leader, finally spoke again: "As a knight, it is a great shame to be unable to protect the safety of His Highness Agnes, so no matter how difficult it is, we must not retreat!"

When Furus said these words, it seemed to cheer up Gri and the others, and he seemed to cheer up himself. So after he finished speaking, he also showed a firm look on his face, and then he ordered again: "Gri. You have a rest tonight. Amank will continue to monitor the yard. After dawn tomorrow, Gri will go to inquire about the news. Find out the opportunity to rescue His Highness Agnes as soon as possible!"

Furus is the leader of Gerry and others, and also their spiritual pillar. So after seeing him make a decision, everyone was shocked and their belief in saving Agnes was stronger. After all, people are blindly obedient, especially in such a helpless foreign country, they need a leader, and Furus happens to be the best candidate for the leader.

Amank was the blue-eyed bearded man who had snatched noodles from Gerry before. After eating the noodles, he left with two people who were not seriously injured. Originally, Amank was impatient and was not the best candidate to go out. However, Furus and the rest of the people were injured. It was really inconvenient to go out, so he could only let Amank and the others go. As for the words were unclear, it was nothing. Anyway, Amank and the others only needed to monitor from a distance and did not have to deal with others. Moreover, there were merchants from all over the country in Nanyang Port, and many people did not understand Song dialect. So as long as Amank was careful, it would not arouse others' suspicion.

But what Fruth never expected was that after Amank and the other three left, they would have come back the next morning, but the next morning they didn't even see a figure, which made him and his men very anxious and gathered in the yard to discuss.

"Gerry, Amank hasn't come back so late yet. Did something happen?" Furus asked with a frown. Gerry said yesterday that he was alarming the guards inside while monitoring the yard and was almost caught by the other party. That's why he sent Amankdo to take two people. Although Amank was a little impatient, he was very alert and powerful. If he was in terms of ability, they were ranked first among the eighteen people, so he was relieved to send the other party out so that even if he was discovered, he could escape.

"In my opinion, Amank is likely to have been discovered by the other party, but with his ability, he should not be caught by the other party. Could it be that they were panicked when they ran away and could not find the way back, right?" Although Gerry's words seemed a bit ridiculous, they were the truth. First, they had just arrived at Nanyang Port and were not familiar with the terrain here. Second, Nanyang Port is an emerging port. Although carefully planned, the roads in many places seemed a bit casual, especially like the place where they lived, which was a slum in Nanyang Port. The streets and alleys were like spiders' webs, and you might get lost if you were not careful.

Just as Gerry finished speaking, a strange knocking sound suddenly came from the gate of the courtyard. It was the code they agreed to knock with Amank, which made Fruth and others feel relieved. Gerry hurriedly ran to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he heard Gerry exclaim: "Why are you injured, Amank?"

When Fruth and others were also shocked when they heard Gerry's exclamation, they saw that Amank and the other two also entered the yard with Gerry. They all looked a little embarrassed, each with blood on their bodies, and everyone was very tired. It seemed that they had escaped after a fight.

"Fros, the opponent strengthened his defense again. We just arrived there last night and were discovered by the opponent. In the end, we finally escaped. In order to prevent someone from following us, we walked around the city for a night before daring to come back." Amank limped over, his face full of annoyance. In fact, he didn't say anything truthfully, that is, they should have been back long ago, but after walking around the city for a few times, they got lost and finally found their way back until dawn.

"It seems that the young man who took His Highness Agnes away had an extraordinary identity. He added guards again in just half a day, so it would be even more difficult for us to rescue His Highness." Furus couldn't help but feel very distressed when he heard this. The other party had more and more guards, but he only had these eighteen people in his hands, and most of them were injured. Even the tough-minded person felt a little discouraged.

"Fros, you can't wait any longer. I think we will sneak over tonight to rescue Your Highness, otherwise there will be no chance in the future." Amank said impatiently. He was very frustrated when he failed to rescue Agnes on the dock before, but now he can only watch His Highness Agnes be traded like a slave. This is definitely a great shame for a knight like him, so even if he loses his life, he is unwilling to endure this shame.

"No! The other party discovered us twice and would definitely strengthen the guards again. With our current personnel, not only will we not be able to save His Highness, but we will all die here. If we get there, His Highness Agnes will never have any hope. Do you want to see His Highness Agnes be a female slave here for the rest of your life?" Furus opposed sharply at this time. He was not afraid of death. As a knight loyal to his duties, life and death would have long been beyond his consideration. Otherwise, he would not leave everything and flee here with Agnes. For him, the most important thing now is to rescue Agnes, and they are His Highness Agnes's only hope, so they must not die.

Hearing Furus's reprimand, especially hearing the mention of His Highness Agnes, whom he protected, was actually traded like a female slave, Gerry, Amanke and others showed anger and humiliation.

Furus also knew that his words were a bit heavy, but if he didn't say this, his subordinates would probably run away with a hot head and try their best. This would not only not save His Highness Agnes, but would only harm him. Thinking of this, Furus said again: "Okay, this is not Europe, and His Highness Agnes' identity is useless here, so we can only save her by our own strength. Grey, you continue to go out to inquire about the news and earn some money to buy some food. The rest of the people will be safe in the rest of their injuries. Only when they are cured can we exert the greatest strength. And I also believe that the yard where His Highness Agnes lives cannot always maintain such vigilance, and we will always find opportunities!"
