Lorraine took hold of him and asked him everything she wanted to know. He stayed up until it was time for lunch before letting Lord Buckley meet at his house. Lorraine had no intention of keeping him to eat and sent him away directly.
.
When Buckley left Lorraine's camp, he was still so dizzy that he had forgotten how he got home.
After sitting on the chair at home, Buckley's mind became more alive and he thought carefully about what happened today.
He thought of the majesty of that army and its murderous intent, especially the calmness and coldness of the officer leading the army, with a temperament that made people tremble at the sight of it.
Standing in front of him, as if he would kill him at any time, Lord Buckley was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe. He asked what he said and didn't even think about whether it was appropriate to respond like this.
After asking him questions and letting him go, Buckley turned around and left without even staying a second.
Buckley recalled what he had said and thought about it carefully. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Fortunately, I didn't say anything wrong.
While he was drinking tea, he sighed: Damn it, sir, I have been honest all these years, and we are not greedy. We can just make a small profit to satisfy our hunger, and we have not done anything to feel guilty about, let alone anything that is harmful to nature, or else we would really return.
Not coming. Those murderous bastards would really cut off their own heads on the spot.
He is holding a fatal emergency flag in his hand. If he is really killed with a knife, no one will make the decision for him, a powerless and powerless little city lord.
Thinking of this, Buckley stretched out his hand and patted his head thankfully. A smile appeared on his face, and he smiled secretly: Little people are as good as little people. If they don't do bad things, they won't be afraid of ghosts coming.
The maid who brought hot water over to soak his feet looked at it and couldn't help but smile: "Sir, you went out for a run and picked up your wallet. Why are you so happy?"
Buckley laughed loudly, stretched out his hand and twisted the maid's butt hard. The maid screamed "Ouch", and then looked at Lord Buckley with a flushed face and a charming look.
Lord Buckley smiled intoxicatedly, then slapped him hard as if appreciating it, and then said: "What do you know? Master, I saved my life today. Just now, I almost couldn't come back."
He paused for a moment, then leaned back on the chair and stretched his feet comfortably into the hot water basin. Feeling the temperature of the hot water, he let out a long sigh of relief and hummed: "
Comfortable~~”
You know, those few miles were all covered by feet. Ever since he joined the government as a civil servant at the age of eighteen, Mr. Buckley has never suffered like this. He was huffing and puffing even after walking around the yard.
After resting, I felt that my foot bones were about to break, and the whole leg felt like it was not my own.
He looked up at the beams and sighed: "This is a good saying. 'Just watch the thief eat, don't watch the thief get beaten.'
At first, when I saw those sons of bitches snatching this and that, the money came in so much and so fast. My grandma made more than me, the city lord, and I was so damn jealous... I will definitely lose, sir.
Thanks to my strength, I was not roped in by them. Otherwise, my life would have been lost this time.
Haha, those gang of thieves are usually pretty dignified, they enjoy the food and drinks, but they never take me seriously. Retribution is here, now when the soldiers arrive, won't they all be dead...
"
As he said that, he held his head in his hands, fell back, and sighed: "What a man! The most important thing is to be content and understand that you are eating a few bowls of dry rice. It will be too late to understand after you lose your head.
…”
As soon as he said this, he heard another rapid sound of horse hooves outside the door. Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of chickens and dogs.
Then, the red door was kicked open again.
All the guards and servants were immediately furious: Damn it, we can't afford to offend those bastards of the Imperial Guards just now, and we can't imitate them. Who is this? Such a big dog has the guts to kick in the door.
What is this place...
But before they could raise their heads, they could clearly see who was coming.
Immediately afterwards, a loud voice shouted: "Where is the city guard of Sarazan? I am ordered by the deputy commander of the second division of the Imperial Guard to order you to run ten miles south of the city and report to the main account of our army. It is due.
Those who don’t come will be killed!”
As he spoke, he threw down a command flag. Then without even looking at the crowd, he turned around and flew away.
The crowd looked at the flag nailed in the courtyard as if in a dream. They looked at each other stupidly, almost unable to believe it.
What on earth is going on? Haven't you already gone there once? Why do you want to go out again? What kind of good day is today?
If the Praetorian Guards are not all staying well in Arkadelin, what are they doing in this little place like ours?
Buckley looked down at his feet, then at the command flag, and almost didn't cry. He thought to himself: "I have to run away from my feet this time~!"
However, despite the military order, he did not dare to argue with his own head. He immediately put on his shoes again, then took the order flag, shook his fat butt, and ran outside with a bang.
On this day, the governor of Buckley City suffered a terrible fate.
He ran out staggeringly, and was so tired that he stuck out his tongue for a long time like an old dog. Then he went to the large tent of the Guards and told the officers the history of blood and tears of the cruel oppression in the past, and then came back.
But as soon as I sat down and before my butt was covered with heat, another imperial guard came to deliver the order.
According to the rules of the officialdom, because there are previous examples there, these gentlemen are of course unwilling to lower themselves. Regardless of the distance, they will all ask Lord Buckley to run over.
Otherwise, looking back, Lord Buckley ran to your place and came by car to my place, showing that his status is not enough and that he is inferior to others.
The only one who was unlucky was Lord Buckley. Even though everyone knew that Buckley was at the friendly camp, they still had to wait for Lord Buckley to come out and go home before calling Buckley over, otherwise they would lose points, especially with the deputy admiral.
During the critical period of selection, we must not make such political mistakes.
As for the life and death of Lord Buckley...
Grandma, there was such a big case under the rule, and a small group of our guards were killed. If you didn't chop off his head, it would be an extrajudicial favor. The uncles are in a good mood.
If you don't know your head, don't understand the truth, and dare to make a fuss, then you can only force the uncle to kill people.
Anyway, I came here to demonstrate with murder.
Therefore, every time the order came, Lord Buckley had to throw away everything, shake his big butt, and run out no matter what he was doing.
The only good thing is that Sarazan is a small city and the Lord Buckley was not allowed to run twenty or thirty miles in one breath. Otherwise, the Imperial Guards would behead him, and Lord Buckley himself would have died of exhaustion first.
Seeing the city lord working as hard as a bee, the people in the city couldn't help but admire him.
"Look, it's our Lord City Lord. Not to mention anything else, just sticking out his tongue and puffing out his breath makes him look so handsome..."
At the same time, everyone was also wondering: Who did those damn water thieves offend? Armies came one by one, and they were all the most elite royal guards.
These are all tiger and wolf warriors who kill without blinking an eye. Couldn't this dispatch have crushed all those water thieves into powder?
Damn it, I might have a good time this time.
"If you want to be an official, you'll kill people and set fires to recruit people."
This sentence is not the original saying of the Semitic continent, but it is widely spread. Nowadays, people who do business without capital like to talk about this sentence, as a way to find a legitimate reason for their business.
Among the water thieves in Twelve Links Dock, the first and most powerful one is Black Wind Village.
Thorn, the leader of the Black Wind Village, is sitting on his big tiger-skin chair, crossing his feet, humming a little tune, holding a wine glass in his hand, and thinking happily: This time the business is going well, it's really
If it doesn't open for three years, it will last for three years if it opens.
Although we lost a lot of good people on this trip, as the intelligence said, there were really a lot of good things on the ship~!
Even if dozens more people die, it's still worth it.
Not to mention anything else, there was silk in that cargo, silk~!
The leader of the village, Thorn, didn't recognize it as silk when he saw it for the first time. A person like him had never seen what silk looked like in his life.
It is said that only a big shot at the level of chief executive can have a silk dress for his wife.
That kind of thing can no longer be measured with money.
Not only silk, but all kinds of trinkets coming from the human continent dazzled Thorne's eyes. Thorne knew the market. The same weight of gold was not as valuable as this cargo.
The leader of the village, Thorne's heart quickly became hot, and he was thinking about looking for an opportunity to talk to Mr. Fix. It was not that he had an uncle who was a high-ranking official in the inspection department, and he sold this thing.
Get some money yourself, then send gifts and stock the goods.
It's impossible to say that I'll clear my name later, and then I'll be able to get an official position. After I sneak into the ranks of feudal officials, and then I'll do it up and down, I don't even think that Arkadelin can go there...
What the ancients said is true. If a person like me, who has no power and no background, wants to be an official, I have to kill people and set fires until I can be recruited.
Being a thief is hard, but being an official is not as comfortable as it is.
At that time, we can legitimately take money from the common people, and then we will also marry a fair and tender aristocratic lady.
While he was making calculations, someone came to report and said: "Boss, boss, good news, another big fat sheep has appeared at the foot of the mountain."
Thorne suddenly became energetic and shouted loudly with bright eyes: "Tell me, what's going on?"
The young man said: "Boss, it's like this. I was hanging out at the inn by the river today. I saw that there was no business again today, and I was worried. Some brothers were even about to close their doors.
At this time, my eyes suddenly flashed, and I remembered your tall and heroic image, boss, and your usual sincere teachings to us, and I immediately reprimanded them severely.
The brothers immediately remembered the care and love you always showed to everyone, boss, and each one of them suddenly came to their senses and corrected their improper work attitude.
Many brothers were so excited that they even cried bitterly and raised their fists and swore that they would live up to your instructions to us, boss, and that we would keep our loyalty to ourselves and move forward courageously..."
The other leaders sitting next to him couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts after hearing what he said. They all felt like vomiting. But looking at the pleased look on Boss Thorn's face, it was obvious that they were so flattered by the flattery, so
But they didn't dare to say anything. They just cursed in their hearts the little leader's shameless and despicable character.
At this time, Roy, the second-in-command next to him, heard that the young man was still talking, and immediately said impatiently: "Zur, please stop talking nonsense and just tell me what's going on. Otherwise, I'll wait for you...
After the flattery is over, the fat sheep will have already flown to the sky."
Thorne was feeling comfortable being photographed. When Roy interrupted him, he immediately glanced at him with dissatisfaction, but then he realized that something was wrong in the hall. All the leaders were sneering or showing disdain.
, or looked at the little boss with disdain.
He couldn't help but blush immediately, and cursed in his heart: These dead bumpkins really don't understand anything, and they only deserve to stay here and be thieves for the rest of their lives. When grandpa and I become an official, I will let you go away from the envy, jealousy and hatred.
When the time comes, I will take this kid Zuer with me. This kid is good at flattering people and is definitely a good candidate to be an official.
But having said that, maybe I have the chance to be like the loyal and brave Song Dajiang in "The Legend of the Kettle", and I will have to use the lives and heads of these brothers to dye my hat red, grandma, I know you guys
My grandson is always talking bad about me behind my back.
Thinking of being here at this time, he coughed lightly and said to the little leader: "Haha, Zu'er, tell me the key points, tell me the key points, haha, hahaha..."
The little leader then said: "Yes, sir. We were having a good time in the inn... Well, we were working seriously in the inn according to your instructions. At this time, a large merchant ship came outside.
, look at that ship, it looks like it’s at least five or six hundred tons.
Four people got off the boat, and a monster with a long nose.
At a glance, the four people knew that they were either rich or noble. They were extremely rich. They were all wearing luxurious silk...silk...silk~!
Moreover, the purse that was taken out to pay was decorated with gold edges and silver threads. The belt was set with a large diamond.
You don’t know, that diamond is as big as a pigeon’s egg. I have never seen such a big gem in my life, and it made my heart beat fast.”
"Pigeons...pigeon eggs...are so big..." All the villains present couldn't help but keep breathing in the cold air, not afraid that if they sucked in too much cold air, they would have diarrhea at night. Stars were shining in their eyes,
The face is fascinated.
That was a diamond as big as a pigeon egg, not a piece of rubbish. Just thinking about it made their hearts beat more than seventy paces.
How much is that worth?
The second-in-command, Roy, had some composure, and he woke up after just thinking for a minute. He wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and then asked: "What do those people look like, and the long-nosed monster you mentioned.
What does that look like? Please explain it clearly."
Zuer glanced at the headmaster and saw that he had no objection, and then said: "Those people... a fat little boy with fair skin and tender skin, and big black eyes. He looked like he was rich at first glance.
children at home.
The other was a young man, who looked about twenty years old. He had a smile on his face and looked like a playboy. At first glance, he was not a good guy.
There are also two beautiful girls. Those two girls, tsk tsk tsk tsk, one is competing against the other.
The skin is white and tender, just like tender tofu. The waist is thin, the legs are long, and the breasts are big...
Let's put it this way, even the most charming An Ji beside the Demon God is nothing more than this. She is just like a fairy descending to earth."
When he finished speaking, his eyes were filled with tears and drool dripped from the corner of his mouth.
After hearing this, everyone present could not help but raise their faces at a forty-five-degree angle and look longingly at the sky.
Roy also took a long swallow and said, "Where's that monster? What is that monster? Is it powerful?"
He has always been cautious and would not take action without fully understanding the enemy.
Zul thought seriously for a moment and said: "Well... that's not a good thing. The monster has a long nose, its body is as thick as a wall, and its legs are thicker than trees. It looks extremely powerful.
It's fierce.
It screamed for a long time as soon as it got off the boat, and everyone who heard the sound panicked and was always scared."
Roy and everyone couldn't help but look at each other, and then nodded in unison.
This is the right thing~!
Those people who dare to come out are not without some support. Otherwise, everyone along the way would have been robbed by others. Where can I get here? It seems that the monster has some background.
These water thieves have never seen much of the world. How do they know that there is an animal called an elephant in this world? Although there are also elephants in the Semitic continent, it is the wild jungle in the far south.
Thorne slapped the table and said loudly: "Why do you care about that animal? There are so many of us, no matter how powerful the beast is, we can kill it."
Seeing the confidence on his face, everyone nearby cursed in their hearts: Damn it, you are the boss, you just sit back and don't have to go forward to fight the monster, so there is no need to be afraid. We have to use knives to fight it hard.
Resistance. If it were a powerful beast that came up to eat people, how would the brothers be able to resist it?
Thorne ignored it and continued: "Tell me, what are they carrying on the boat? How many valuable things are there?"
Zul thought for a moment, and then said: "Well... I asked in a circumstantial way. It seems that all their ships are loaded with gold and silver. From their tone, it seems that they are coming from the Caribbean port. According to them, they are speculating on that
I made a fortune by frying tomatoes, so I plan to go to the imperial city to buy a job as an official."
Thorne's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Want to be an official? That means you are no longer an official~!"
Although he is a water thief, he usually carries the banner of "doing justice for heaven", but he also knows that in this world, it doesn't matter who he robs, murders and arson, whatever he does. But the one who cannot be robbed the most is an official.
.They all stick together as a team. And they are powerful and have younger brothers.
Once they are robbed, it will be a hornet's nest. They have to send troops to kill them.
Those who are thieves have bright eyes, and those who do not have bright eyes are already dead.
He immediately jumped up from the chair and shouted loudly: "You guys, what are you waiting for? Let's go, let's go down the mountain, grab money, things, and women. If other water villages find out,
We have no share in it. Damn it, last night I dreamed that the sky was filled with golden light, so I knew we were going to have good luck."
The rest of the bandit leaders were also stimulated by Zul's description, their eyes turned red. They jumped up one by one, waved their weapons, and shouted in a hissing voice: "Go together, go together. Grab money, grab things, grab women...
…”
Under the leadership of Thorne, they shouted, and then swarmed down the mountain regardless of the sky.
Everyone came to the foot of the mountain, and when they were still far away, they saw a three-masted ship parked by the river.
In the open space next to the tavern on the shore, several people were sitting around a table, drinking and resting.
There was also a pure white monster with a long nose, running around on the grass like a crazy person, rolling on the ground from time to time, looking very happy.
Xiao Bai has no choice. He knows that this time he comes out to grab money, and of course he will follow him life or death. If he doesn't let him come, he will keep cheating.
But since it is a land creature, it faints as soon as it gets on the boat and easily lands on the ground. Naturally, it needs to vent its energy.
Everyone looked at it and knew that the other party was not prepared. They immediately whistled and rushed out.
At the same time, the water thieves in the water village quickly rolled out several small boats and surrounded the three-masted sailboat in front or behind to prevent it from seeing the opportunity and raising its sails to escape.
At this time, the few people parked on the shore realized that something was wrong, turned around and ran towards the gangplank of the ship.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but became anxious and shouted angrily: "Hurry, hurry, they are going to escape. Hurry, hurry up~!"
Amid the hoarse shouting, everyone could not think much of it, and they had no time to think about it. The clerk in the store was also a water thief, and he was usually very clever, but why didn't he come out now and delay it for a while?
They took off their stride and ran away.
These water thieves ran down the mountain out of breath, with their tired tongues hanging out.
But fortunately, the boat was still parked on the shore, and those few people did not get on the boat, but leaned against the boat and stared coldly at themselves.
They looked at the four people and were surprised to find that two of the girls were indeed as beautiful as Zur said. One was innocent and lovely, the other was enchanting and charming.
When these water thieves saw them standing next to a young man like little birds, they were all filled with righteous indignation: It was this kind of hateful pretty boy who had seduced all the pretty girls, just by doing this
One piece is enough to kill him ten thousand times.
As for the little boy and the long-nosed monster next to them, their eyes were shining with excitement, as if they were looking at gold coins. Although their expressions were a bit strange, everyone didn't take it to heart.
They were half-surrounded and slowly pushed forward. One of them held a long knife in his hand and kept smiling evilly, deliberately creating a terrifying atmosphere and intimidating the other party.
However, they found that those people were not afraid, but looked at them coldly as if they had something to rely on. They couldn't help but feel that something was wrong, and then they all stopped at a safe distance of dozens of steps apart.
