After hearing Leo's bad remarks in the blink of an eye, Catherine agreed in her heart, but she knew that with Leo's adaptable temper, as soon as he was praised, he would immediately raise his tail to the sky again, and maybe stab him again.
What a flaw.
She snorted noncommittally, then looked at Lorraine and asked softly: "Lorraine, what's your opinion?"
Lorraine thought for a while and said: "Although technically speaking, it is a bit more difficult, but because of this, the enemy will not be prepared for unexpected situations. In my opinion, it is feasible. I just don't know this guy.
How are your acting skills?"
Catherine snorted coldly and said, "He has to do it even if he can't do it."
She turned around and said to the bandit in a cold voice: "I'll give you a chance to live. If you do well, you won't die. If you don't, there will be no shortage of your place on the gallows. Do you understand?"
When the bandit saw this, he knew that his life was saved. He kowtowed to the ground hurriedly, almost bowing to the ground, and said respectfully: "Yes, sir, as long as I can survive, I can do anything."
Catherine waved her hand and said: "Take him down first, hold him in solitary confinement, and keep him under control."
Seeing the Forbidden Army soldiers taking the bandits out of the tent, Leo jumped up and said loudly: "Where do you agree to my conditions?"
Catherine waved her hands casually and said: "Okay, okay, you say it, as long as it's not too much, I agree."
Leo wiped his little fists excitedly and said, "I want to play the hero of officers and soldiers catching robbers and saving the beauty."
Catherine was stunned for a moment, then fixed her gaze on Leo, which made Leo's heart tremble.
Leo said cautiously: "I'm just playing for fun. I don't ask for money or anything. Isn't this condition excessive?"
Catherine suddenly smiled and said, "See for yourself."
Leo was stunned and said inexplicably: "What?"
Seeing this, Lorraine, Adele and Vera sighed together.
Leo blinked his big eyes and suddenly understood.
He exclaimed "Ah", his face changed, and he slowly turned his head with a grimace to look at Melina, who was squeezing her white and tender hands with a sneer on her face.
Melina smiled extremely sweetly, and the two wine dimples on her pink cheeks almost turned into wine cups.
She smiled, looked at Leo without blinking, and said softly: "Leo, I didn't know you wanted to save that beauty?"
Although her voice was still extremely clear and crisp, like a silver bell, there was an extremely cold chill in it.
Leo looked at it and relied on his rich experience of being beaten in the past. He immediately knew that the little girl was on the verge of going crazy. He was so frightened that he immediately took two steps back. He carefully kept his smile on his face and said, "Melena, listen to me.
Explanation, I'm just playing games..."
Catherine stood up and said without looking back: "Leo, since you like to play, then the task of teaching this bandit how to do it will be left to you."
Adele glanced at Leo sympathetically, then hugged Lorraine's arm and pulled Lorraine out.
Vera's big blue eyes turned, and she didn't know what she was thinking. She also ran out in a hurry, not even noticing Leo's eyes asking for help.
Vera ran out of the tent, caught up with Lorraine, then hugged Lorraine's other arm and asked out of breath: "Master, when did we raid those bad guys' copycats?"
Lorlin asked curiously: "Copying a copycat? Why?"
Vera's little face turned red, like an attractive big apple, which made Lorraine want to grab it and take a bite.
Vera said: "I heard the old dragon at home...ah, no, it was the old man who said that if you go out and rob bandits or pirates of money, you will get it quickly and without any trouble."
Adele was very surprised.
She poked her head out from the other side, looked at Vera carefully, and said, "Vera, what do your family members do? Do you even dare to rob them? Are they really a bunch of ruthless people?"
Lorraine said with a smile: "The mountains and rivers are poor, and the folk customs in Vera's hometown are a mess."
If those old dragons, who have always acted on behalf of heaven and robbed wealth for themselves, knew that Lorraine had called them all unruly people, they would probably be furious, and these guys with greatly wounded self-esteem would be able to turn Lorraine out of his mind.
Eat it alive with soy sauce!
Lushui Town is the only town within a hundred miles, and there is only one street in the town. With the vast mountains and jungles at its back, being a hunter or running a hotel along the road are the only ways for people here to survive.
However, in recent years, a group of bandits have been entrenched in this neglected area and committed evil crimes. The residents of these mountains have been miserable.
And every time the officers and soldiers went on a campaign and were stationed here, they tormented everyone even more than those bandits, and they were also extremely useless. Each time they returned without success.
As time goes by, people here lose hope. The old monk rings the bell and counts one day at a time.
Due to the fierce robberies, those caravans rarely leave here. What was once a prosperous town has now become like a ghost town.
Lorraine was on a hillside outside the town, looking towards the town.
I only saw the hotel at the entrance of the town. The signboard was rotten, the doors and windows were full of holes, as was the roof. The building, which was originally covered with red tiles, was instead covered with patches of thatch.
The only thing that proves that this place is still popular is the clothes hanging in front of the house. However, most of those clothes are in tatters and have a lot of patches on them, not to mention that they wear luxurious clothes like the people in other places.
.
Lorraine looked at Leo next to him, and next to Leo, pouting and ignoring the little ruffian, but at the same time, it was Melina who never left.
Lorraine sighed and said, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Leo said excitedly: "Of course, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Lorraine nodded and said, "Okay."
As he spoke, he waved his hand behind him.
Four hundred well-armed knights spurred their horses at the same time, and the rumble of horse hooves shook the houses in the town to rustle downwards.
The residents of the town watched in panic as the pair of knights rushed into the town. People on the street hurriedly ran home, closed their doors, and looked at Lorraine and the others through the crack in the door, seeing the Ruman Empire they held high.
When the eagle flag was raised, the people in the town realized that these people were the imperial army.
Everyone grinned. Although they were afraid of bandits, relatively speaking, they were more afraid of the army. Although bandits were always brutal, coming to rob things and women, and even kill people, set fires and other bad things, but because of their limited manpower, every time
They are all whizzing by, and it is impossible to take care of every household.
Unlike the big men in the army, they have the time and manpower to steal all the chickens from every house in the town. After eating the pigs, they also tease the women all over.
Moreover, these gentlemen are also extremely ruthless. If they dare not go against their wishes, they might pull out the knife at the next moment and shout, "You are a bandit!" and then follow their usual procedures.
They ransacked the houses and wiped out the families. Then they chopped off the heads of some people and went back to claim military glory.
The residents walked out of their homes timidly and looked at the groups of knights in bright armor galloping past them in a majestic manner.
After circling the town, the Forbidden Army soldiers finally arrived in front of the hotel at the entrance of the town and surrounded the small hotel.
The group of attendants behind them quickly led out the long string of bandits tied with ropes.
The residents who were watching outside were shocked when they saw the bandits being led over in despair, and then they all shouted excitedly, "It's them, the officers and soldiers have caught them."
When the residents who were originally hiding behind heard this, they were excited. Then they swarmed forward and raised their heads to look inside.
The Imperial Guard soldiers outside waved their riding whips and shouted loudly: "Go away, go away."
The residents looked at their thick whips and did not dare to get close, but they did not want to stay away. They gathered on both sides of the street and watched carefully.
The attendants led these dozens of bandits into the Forbidden Army, and then cut the ropes that tied them into a bunch in the middle. The bandits' hands were still trapped behind their backs, and they were all watching in circles with big eyes and small eyes.
The hotel door slowly opened, and a middle-aged man with gray hair walked out.
He looked at the scene in front of him with fear, and he couldn't figure out what was going on?
Behind him, a middle-aged woman and a girl of eighteen or nineteen poked their heads out from behind the door, looking at him with fear on their faces.
Lorraine glanced at her and found that although the girl had an average appearance and a slightly dark and red face, she had the health and youthfulness unique to a simple country girl.
Leo looked at it and couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed. He turned to Lorraine and said, "The taste of that bandit leader is average~!"
Lorraine curled her lips. The little ruffian had been following Catherine since he was a child, and there were a lot of beauties around him. He had never met any brothers or sisters, and his eyes had long been cultivated. Really
I think all women in the world are beautiful.
He waved his hand disapprovingly and said: "It would be nice to have one in this big ravine."
The middle-aged man looked at Lorraine and Leo, who were guarded by a group of guards like stars holding the moon in the middle. He forced himself to stay calm and asked tremblingly: "I don't know if you are here, what's the matter?"
Lorraine glanced at him with admiration. Ordinary country people might have been so frightened that they could not speak after seeing such a huge formation. Then he said: "Our Imperial Guard, let me lend you a place.
I’ll lend you my personal life again, and you’ll be rewarded when the job is done~!”
He paused and then added: "Oh, by the way, don't be surprised if something happens later, I promise you will be fine~!"
As he spoke, he nodded to Leo.
Leo was impatient for a long time. He yelled "ouch", then jumped off the horse, pulled out his short gun and pointed it at the bandits, saying: "Start, start, be serious.
Go up and grab it, go up and grab it!"
You look at these bandits, I look at you, they all stay where they are, motionless.
Leo was furious and said: "Grandma, I told you when I came here, but now there is no reaction at all, a bunch of idiots~! Idiots~!..."
He cursed for a long time, but when he saw that the bandits were still staying in place, motionless, he waved to the imperial army behind him and said: "Catch them up~!"
The Forbidden Soldiers jumped off their horses, waved their riding whips with ferocious smiles on their faces, and cracked the bandits hard.
Driven by the imperial army, the bandits slowly approached the hotel with grimaces.
Leo looked at it and was extremely dissatisfied. He pointed at them and cursed loudly: "If you don't give me a good performance today, I will roll them all on the nail board and get on the tiger bench when I go back. How did you play last night? I will double it tonight~!"
The Imperial Guard soldiers behind them made a clicking sound with their fingers and looked at the bandits with smiles, as if they were looking at a group of pets.
Despite being repeatedly intimidated by Leo, these bandits still looked nervously at the surrounding Forbidden Army and the town residents outside, frozen in place with pale faces.
Leo sighed, shook his head, and waved his hands feebly.
A Forbidden Army soldier hit the bandit leader's back with a whip, and there was a sharp crack. The bandit leader's clothes were torn by the whip, and the bandit leader screamed and fell to the ground, "Ah,
Ah," he yelled, bouncing his legs and shaking uncontrollably.
Lorraine looked at these bandits, driven by Leo, like a group of pure and innocent lambs, and couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous. It was indeed a human drama for evil people to torture evil people.
The onlookers of the small town were also confused by Lorraine's weird behavior, but no matter how many of them they were, as long as they saw the robbers being caught by the government, they were satisfied.
Leo pointed at another bandit and said, "Now that you are the leader, go grab my bride. Go quickly~ Master, my patience is running out."
The bandit pointed out by Leo was stunned for a moment, but after hearing the screams of the bandit leader, he immediately came to his senses.
He grimaced and stammered to the hotel owner: "Please...please...please...please...please...please..."
Leo snorted heavily, stretched out his hand and scratched his neck, making a kill gesture.
The Imperial Guards soldier behind stepped forward and struck the bandit with a whip on the back. This time it was even harder, and blood splashed out with the whip.
The bandit let out a high-pitched scream and fell to the ground, rolling around in pain. He couldn't even scream and could only cough and gasp loudly.
Leo said angrily: "I asked you to come here to steal the bride, not because I asked you to come to visit me, but because you are a bandit. I don't have any sense of being a bandit. You, just you, come here now..."
As he said that, he pointed at another bandit.
The bandit who was pointed out almost cried out of fright. After he turned his head and saw the fierce-looking Forbidden Army soldiers standing behind him, the bandit gritted his teeth, took two steps forward, and loudly said to the shop owner: "I'll take you."
My daughter calls out."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Leo nervously. Seeing that Leo had no reaction at all, the bandit secretly took a breath.
The innkeeper didn't know what song he was singing in front of him, but when he saw Lorraine and Leo, who looked like leaders, instigating these bandits, the innkeeper had no choice but to turn around and said to the door
: "Wife, little girl, come out, it's the Imperial Army, it's okay."
The proprietress of the hotel was like an old hen, hiding her daughter behind her, then carefully walked out of the door and stood behind the innkeeper.
The innkeeper kept bending down and said to Lorraine and Leo: "Gentlemen, my family is all here."
The bandit stepped back and glanced at Leo. Leo straightened his face, then looked up at the sky and snorted coldly.
The bandit hurriedly turned around, showing a dumbfounded expression, and said to the hotel owner: "I...we are here to steal the bride and let your daughter come out."
After hearing this, Leo said loudly: "Ka, ka, as a robber, this is how you talk to the victim? You don't have any common sense in acting. If you can't act like a robber, I will beat you to death."
"
The imperial guard behind the bandit swung the whip in his hand in a cooperative manner, and there was a loud crack. The bandit shrank his neck in fright and almost squatted on the ground.
The bandit plucked up his courage and said, "We are here to steal the bride. If you know what you are doing, hand over your daughter as soon as possible."
The hotel owner and his family probably understood what was going on. The girl burst out laughing behind her father's back.
The innkeeper scratched his head, not knowing what to do, but his daughter walked out from behind the innkeeper and said to the bandit opposite: "I'm right here. What can I do, Mr. bandit?"
The bandit turned to look at Leo. Seeing that Leo was still staring at him seriously, he only continued: "Everyone, arrest her."
Although the other bandits heard it, they still didn't know what to do.
Leo said loudly: "I want you to catch that girl, don't you hear me? Catch them up, catch them up." The latter words were addressed to the Forbidden Army soldiers.
A group of Forbidden Army soldiers stepped forward and kicked and lifted the bandits from behind and drove them up.
When the bandits came to the side of the hotel owner, Leo shouted loudly: "Ka, ka, okay, the preview passed, the official performance, if anyone makes another mistake, I will kill him. Do you hear that?"
?”
The bandit who played the main supporting role was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Are you going to do it again?"
The whips of the Imperial Guard soldiers behind him immediately hit him, and the remaining bandits immediately became more obedient.
Leo twisted his head and asked Lorraine: "Boss, how are you? My rehearsing skills are still good, right?"
Lorraine nodded and said, "If you give yourself a big beard, it will look more like him."
Leo put his hands on his hips and laughed proudly.
Milena snorted on the horse, turned her head away from looking at Leo's proud expression, and muttered loudly on purpose: "The acting is not vivid at all."
Leo said nonchalantly: "It would be great for a group of extras to be of this level. Okay, let's officially start the show."
Leo straightened his clothes, adjusted the holster on his waist, took out the musket and stuffed it back, then nodded with satisfaction.
The bandits followed the same routine all over again. This time they invested more in escaping the whips of the imperial army.
When the bandits surrounded the innkeeper with his hands trapped behind his back, Leo raised his head, drew his musket and stepped forward, shouting: "Hey, you bad guys, let that girl go."
The hotel owner and his wife couldn't help but look at Leo and the bandits in front of them, and his daughter giggled.
Leo looked at her angrily and said, "You're stealing a bride~! Be serious~!"
