After all, playing Infernal Affairs is a highly technical job, especially if something goes wrong, your life will usually be lost.
While the bandit was nervously thinking about the consequences of being exposed - he would definitely be cut into pieces by his colleagues, he was also thinking about the poison in his stomach.
He didn't know that Young Master Leo had grown up vigorously under Catherine's hands and was now a proven veteran.
That little ruffian has known since he was three years old that a lie must be 70% true and 30% false. Only in this way will he not be easily seen through and won't get slapped on the butt.
Therefore, when he drugged the bandit, he carefully chose Catherine's cosmetics. Since Catherine wiped it on her face every day and nothing happened, it should be enough to kill people. Even if it dies, it should be considered
I am contributing to women’s beauty career~!
And that country bumpkin bandit had never seen high-end cosmetics before. When he smelled the fragrance coming from the pills, he thought he was some kind of poison. But he was very frightened at the moment. He could only obey his orders.
from.
What's more, even without the pill, he was still thinking about his little ninety-nine.
Although until now, the bandit has not figured out who Lorraine and Leo are, but from the attitude of the brightly dressed soldiers around him, he can clearly infer that those people are great people.
.
Moreover, Lorraine gave him a golden promise. If the matter was done well, not only would he be exempted from guilt, but he would also be cleared and given a job as a civil servant.
Although this bandit did not know the famous saying, "If you want to be an official, kill people and set fires to attract peace." However, it is really blessed by the gods to transform from a shady bandit to a public servant who eats royal food.
Even if you risk your life just for the sake of your status as a civil servant, it is worth it.
Under such an extremely complex psychology, it is simply impossible for this bandit to act natural.
The bandit leader looked at the second-in-command who was sitting in a high position and stared at him with his green little bitch eyes. He felt weak in his heart and lowered his head involuntarily, looking at the ground.
He calmed down slightly, and then he followed the script prepared by everyone in Lorraine and said as exaggeratedly as possible: "No, it's not the officers and soldiers. Those officers and soldiers were just passing by and didn't pay attention to us at all."
The leader who stayed in the village was the second in command of the village, a dog-headed strategist or something like that.
After hearing what the little leader said, he slapped his thigh and shouted loudly to the thieves around him: "How about it, how about it? I just said that those officers and soldiers must be passing by and won't cause trouble for us~!"
They all have enough to eat and drink, and money to spend. They all value their lives more than gold. Why would they come to this place and fight for us?
Besides, there are people above us. If they had trouble with us, someone would have come to report them long ago."
Although the bandits did not hang out in the officialdom, from a certain point of view, the structure of this cottage is not much different from the officialdom. It is even better, but not worse.
Because in the officialdom, you can put in as many restless brothers-in-law as possible, and since the environment is relaxed, you can let them hang out there.
However, this kind of cottage with a harsh environment cannot tolerate idlers. Everyone has to rely on their own hands, work hard to get rich, and earn a living based on their ability. Because of the fierce competition, if you are not careful, you will be betrayed.
It was hung up.
Therefore, in the long years of struggle, everyone has developed excellent qualities. After seeing the proud expression of the boss, they immediately flattered him and made a flood of flattery.
"The wise second in charge~!"
"Seeing thousands of miles clearly..."
"Heavenly talents..."
"..."
Everyone slapped him hard for a long time. Although most of those words were words he had used to slap the boss, but this did not prevent the second boss from closing his eyes and enjoying the pleasant feeling of being flattered by everyone.
.
After a while, until he was satisfied, he waved his hand to ask everyone to stop.
He opened his eyes and saw the little leader who came back to report was still standing in front of him. He couldn't help but be startled, and then said: "Oh, by the way. Why did you come back alone? Where are the boss and the others?"
The little leader immediately grinned and said with a wry smile: "Second in charge, please take the brothers down the mountain quickly. The boss has someone take care of them~!"
Everyone was stunned.
The second-in-command also became nervous. He leaned over and looked at him intently, saying, "What on earth is going on? I was shocked."
The little leader sighed and said, "Didn't our leader like the daughter of the hotel owner in Lushui Town and want to snatch her back as the thirteenth roommate?"
The second-in-command blinked and said, "Yeah, that's right. Didn't you go down the mountain early? What happened? Did you make dumplings when you met the army? Are they all dead?"
All the bandits also became nervous.
The second master immediately started beating his chest, "I told you a long time ago that I won't let the boss come down due to such a big movement down there. But he is so obsessed with lust... Oh~! What a lesson, a bloody lesson~! Brothers..."
Seeing him talking to himself like this, the little leader immediately put on a grimace and interjected: "That's not true. The boss has not been arrested by the army."
The second-in-command immediately hesitated. But he cursed secretly in his heart: If I didn’t tell you earlier, I would have been happy for a long time in vain~!
He paused and said: "Please explain it carefully to me~!"
The little leader said: "That's right. Although the passing army didn't care about us, that damn shop owner...
The common people in the town thought that the government troops had arrived, so the hotel owner gathered the people in the town and surrounded us. He beat several of us to death and even arrested the leader.
In the end, the officers and soldiers didn't care at all. I saw them escorting a few big shots and going directly to Freetown. These damn townspeople must be dumbfounded now."
The second leader had an angry look on his face, his little bitch eyes widened, and he cursed angrily: "These damn gangsters really need to kill a few of them to establish their authority~!"
And all the bandits were furious. They picked up long swords and cursed angrily.
"These damn guys have the guts to eat, and they dare to touch our people~!"
"Kill them, kill them all~!"
"..."
The language they used was extremely filthy, which is understandable. Although these bandits were vulgar, they knew instinctively that the reason why they were able to go down the mountain and run rampant and oppress the people was entirely based on the fear of them in the hearts of the people.
If the fear is gone and the common people are no longer afraid of them, then their mere few hundred people cannot compete with the strength formed by the huge population in those towns.
The second-in-command thought for a while, then shouted to everyone at the top of his lungs: "Brothers, brothers, listen to me.
If the boss is sent to Freetown, he will definitely turn us all in.
Our homes are all in the countryside. If the government seizes us, we will have no choice but to escape. We can rob the leader if we can, but if we can't, we will have to flee for our lives."
These bandits also knew that the situation was urgent and prepared in a panic.
The undercover agent finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that his plan was successful. Looking at his colleagues running around like headless flies in the cottage, he began to despise them in his heart. Being a bandit means that you can earn more or less, but you can't make enough money.
You have been corrupted by several big bosses, and you will be hunted down when you go out. There is no future at all. I will sell you, even if you set foot on the golden road.
Although Lorraine and Leo had a great time in Green Water Town, in order to confuse the bandits, they achieved the greatest victory at the least cost. According to Lorraine's plan, Catherine's escort of the imperial army never stopped.
Make your own steps.
In addition to the elites among Leo's personal guards and the suicide squad he personally selected, thousands of people from the rest of the large army followed Lorraine's prior orders, held high flags, and swaggered across the town, along the
Follow the road and keep moving forward.
After noon, when the sun tilted slightly to the west, the first team led by the local magistrate was already at the roadside and enthusiastically greeted the Praetorian Guards.
At first, the Imperial Guards and the others had some local officials responsible for receiving the eldest princess, but they could not leave until the team moved forward and the eldest princess's team was safely and satisfactorily sent out of their jurisdiction.
There were also people sent in advance by the local magistrate of the next stop to greet them. There were also a lot of these people, and they had been staying with Lorraine and his team, but Lorraine and Catherine didn't care about them.
After Lorraine and Leo caught the bandit yesterday afternoon, the group of petty officials accompanying the princess were the most flexible and they immediately saw the crisis here.
The imperial royal family is not very crowded to begin with. There are only four of them who pass through their jurisdiction. Even if they are hunting wild boars in the mountains, they will encounter bandits. How do you, the local officials, manage the security? This is no longer a security issue.
, this is a serious political incident.
What's more, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already reported the matter to His Majesty the Emperor. In a word, it means - big trouble.
Once the matter is reported, no one from the governor to the sheriff can escape responsibility.
The big shots above may only get reprimanded at most, but when it comes to the local level, this will lead to loss of official position and accountability.
Now there is no way to cover up the matter anymore. The only way is to behave well and strive for meritorious service in exchange for leniency.
Feeling that the situation was serious, these people quickly sent people back that night to report the news.
The local officials who received the news did not dare to neglect. The first local army of 300 people quickly joined the Guards team, but no one paid attention to them. General Philip just asked his men to tell them coldly - give way, don't leave.
Block us.
These people had no choice but to volunteer to serve as the vanguard for the imperial army, just to clear the streets and clear the roads.
Although these officials were frightened and frightened, Catherine paid no attention to them and left all these local officials in the cold. This made these local officials feel unsure and could only carry out the escort task honestly.
When the imperial army roared past in front of Lushui Town, the bandits who had descended to the mountains and hid in the ravines were relieved when they heard the news.
The second-in-command of this group of bandits was also afraid of long nights and long dreams, so he focused on a quick fight. He planned to go down, rob someone, and run away. If their leader was sent to the government, Baron Peter Anker, who they relied on, was poached.
If you come out, everyone will be doomed.
From now on, all I have to do is wait to be wanted and then hide around.
Although the army with unknown purpose camped for the night ten miles away, it would be very dangerous for them to continue like this, but they couldn't care less.
Waiting until after midnight, when there was no moonlight in the sky, Bandit No. 10 emerged from the woods and moved toward the town silently.
Lushui Town is no different from usual. In the silent night, except for the strange calls of night owls, there is no sound at all.
Only when you get closer can you see a little light from the houses at the entrance of the town.
It took a long time for the bandit to come back. He walked up to the leader and lowered his voice and said, "We found the leader. They are all tied up in a hotel in the town. Several people from the town are guarding them. I just
He was discovered when he got close, so he pretended to be meowing to hide away."
The leader asked nervously: "There is nothing unusual in the town, right? What do our people who are ambushing in the town say?"
The bandit said with a bitter face: "I don't dare to knock on the door in the middle of the night, but I looked at each house and there was nothing unusual in their house."
The leader rubbed his forehead and said anxiously: "Look, are those people in the town waiting for us in ambush?"
"No way. I walked around outside and there was no sound at all. There should be nothing abnormal. If they ambush us, there will be hundreds of people there, and there won't be any movement at all."
The leader thought for a while, then changed his mind and said: "No matter what, even if we can't defeat those who are fooling around in vain, we can still run away. Tell the brothers to use more force and let these people in this town remember it. Up!"
"
Leo lay down next to Lorraine's ear and asked in a low voice: "Boss, will they come?"
Lorraine said: "This is a group of desperadoes. There is nothing they dare not do. We caught their leader and strangled their lives. They had to come. The homes of these people are all in Freetown."
All around."
Leo said: "I still think they will run away directly."
A mage from the Guards next to Lorraine suddenly whispered: "Here we come, someone triggered the trap."
Leo waved his fist and said, "Okay, we're here."
The mage continued: "It seems that there is only one person. Damn it, he went back again."
Lorraine said: "This is just a scout."
"Our people won't show off their tricks. If they find out, there will be no fun." Leo said worriedly.
General Philip was wearing a helmet and armor, and his whole body was covered with armor. His sword had been unsheathed and laid across his knees.
Seeing Leo's worried look, General Philip said confidently: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Guards never make mistakes."
Lorraine was stunned by General Philip's proud words. After spending so long with them, Lorraine also had an intuitive understanding of their strength. Even the way the death squads usually didn't do good things, when it came to
The strength value of each one is also extremely strong.
All that was left was to wait patiently. Lorraine folded her feet, placed them on the table, and leaned back comfortably on the chair.
General Philip sat upright in his chair, with his eyes closed and his fingers tapping the back of his sword lightly, with a relaxed look on his face, showing the demeanor of an old soldier.
Leo was like a monkey whose butt was burned by fire, scratching his head and scratching his head. He glanced at the mage for a while, pulled at Lorraine for a while, and couldn't calm down for a moment.
After waiting for half an hour, Leo was so anxious that he almost pulled out his hair. The mage who had set up the warning trap stood up and said: "All the traps in the front have been triggered. It is estimated that there are more than a hundred people."
Lorraine put down her legs from the table and said, "Okay, you better come here obediently. I hate these robbers. They have no technical content at all."
General Philip smiled slightly and said: "Send the signal when you are ready."
The bandit leader led his hundreds of men along both sides of the road and headed into the town.
The hotel was at the very outside of the town. When the bandit leader approached, he saw the light emerging from the crack in the door and thought that this was it.
He took two fierce steps forward, picked up the sword in his hand and slammed it on the door.
There was a loud bang, and the hotel door fell down. In the middle of the hotel lobby, the bandit leader and a group of Leo's prisoners were tied up and sitting around on the ground, their mouths gagged. Several
The residents of the town are armed with hunting knives and sticks to guard these bandits on the ground.
The leader who broke in saw the leader of the bandits and shouted loudly: "Boss, don't panic, we are here to rescue you. Brothers, come on."
The bandit leader, who was gagged and bound, was whining and shaking his head desperately.
Seeing the leader open the door and shouting, the bandits also shouted and rushed forward, rushing into the hotel.
The residents who were guarding these bandits didn't say anything, they just dragged their weapons in their hands, turned around and ran away.
The leader ran up to the bandit leader, pulled off the cloth that was pouting, and said loudly: "Boss, how are you doing?"
The bandit leader coughed twice and said: "Quick...run."
Leo shook his hair, straightened his collar, pulled up his sleeves, and said to Lorraine: "I'm going out like this, do I want to go out or not?"
Lorraine curled her lips, then raised her foot to Leo's butt, and pushed lightly with the instep of her foot. Leo screamed "Ahhh" twice and was pushed out of the door.
At this time, several magic lights slowly rose into the air, illuminating every detail around the hotel.
Leo quickly stopped, put his hands on his hips, raised his head, and laughed "hahahaha".
Immediately afterwards, a large number of Imperial Guards swarmed in like a tide and surrounded the small shop!
Leo laughed a few times, then reached out his hand, took the roll of paper from the loudspeaker barrel of the imperial guards beside him, and shouted to them: "Listen to you bandits, you have been surrounded, know your identity."
Please surrender quickly~!"
The bandits gathered in the open space in front of the hotel in panic, looking around.
Beyond the light of the flares, there were shadowy figures in the gray shadows, surrounding them from the outside.
