The originally planned script was messed up by this fat man, and Hussein was stunned on the spot.
It took him a long time to realize that at this time, even the hundreds of cavalrymen brought by Hussein pretending to be horse thieves were stunned. You looked at me and I looked at you. However, more people looked at them.
They turned their attention to their leader, Hussein, and waited for instructions from the leader.
Although no one knows the details of this plan, Hussein told everyone before setting off: This is just a military exercise. When the fight breaks out later, no one is allowed to make random moves, so as not to hurt their own bodies.
friendly forces.
result……
Finally, Princess Louise leaned out of the carriage and pulled Hussein out of his crazy mood.
"This... Your Excellency." Princess Louise was obviously very nervous, but after all, she had been trained by the royal family since she was a child, and her momentum was still there. She mustered up all her courage, barely keeping herself calm, and looked at the person in front of her.
"The leader of the horse thieves".
This guy looks a bit scary: he is sitting on a horse with his waist straight like a javelin. Princess Louise is a person who knows the goods. She can see that the way this guy is riding on a horse shows that he has been strictly trained.
A person trained by elites is definitely not the kind of temperament that a ragtag group of bandits can have. However, this guy is riding a black horse, wearing a black robe, a black turban on his head, and even his face is covered with a black mask.
He also wore a black leather eyepatch...
No matter how you look at it, it is so ferocious. This look is just like the legendary undead creature coming from hell: the "Black Knight"!
"Your Excellency..." The princess's voice trembled, and she took a deep breath: "We are already your prisoners, please don't hurt us. If you are seeking money, I can guarantee that you will get a lot of money.
Ransom! As long as you don’t harm us! My identity can give you the greatest guarantee.”
Hussein was so angry that he almost vomited blood. This princess actually thought of herself as a robber?!
He was angry at the moment, and his eyes were cold and hard. He glanced at the princess, and the coldness in his eyes almost made her shiver.
"Put her in the carriage." Hussein said coldly. Immediately, some of his men tried to put the princess back.
"Idiot! Didn't you see there are two carriages here? Get the two women together! We don't need to bring an extra carriage!" Hussein said in a gloomy tone. His subordinates knew that the leader was angry, so how could they dare to talk?
In this way, not long after the separation, Princess Louise and Miss Delly sat in the same carriage again.
Both women looked very frightened, but Miss Delly was a scheming woman after all. Although she had been beaten to the point of collapse by Du Wei before, at this critical moment, it actually stimulated her to calm down.
Although she was also scared, her behavior was different from that of the princess.
After the princess entered the carriage, she huddled in the corner, hugging her knees, with a worried look on her face. But Miss Delly looked out through the gap in the carriage window.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside. Soon, the two girls felt the body of their carriage move.
"Where are they going to take us?" Princess Louise whispered in horror.
Miss Delly's eyes suddenly lit up, she withdrew her gaze and sat down. She stretched out her hand to hold Princess Louise's hand. The princess dodged for a moment, but was finally held by her. After all, although she
She felt a little resentful towards this friend who had taken advantage of her, but she was really scared at the moment and needed some comfort.
"Louise, don't be afraid... maybe the situation is not that bad." Delly looked a little nervous, but she was more confident than the princess: "I found a few interesting details."
"Wha, what?" Although the princess was estranged from Delly, she still trusted her friend's wisdom.
"Have you noticed? Although they are robbers...but they behave very strangely. When those gangsters looked at us just now, there was no trace of greed or animal lust in those guys' eyes! You know, if it falls on the real
In the hands of the gangsters, we two women would be in dire straits! But although they drove us into the carriage very viciously, they did not take the opportunity to touch us."
Princess Louise said angrily: "Should I be happy that they didn't molest me?"
"Of course that's not the case!" Delly whispered: "Although I don't know who they are...but I suspect that these people are not horse bandits. Because they drove us into one carriage and took the other one.
The carriage was abandoned... However, they did not search the carriage, let alone check the salutes on the carriage... Normal gangsters would plunder the valuables in the carriage first! But they looked like...
Not interested at all!"
Princess Louise also felt moved and looked towards Delly.
Although Delly's face was still pale and haggard, her eyes were more thoughtful than those of a girl like the princess who never knew her intentions. She thought for a while, shook her head and said, "I can't see the rest for the time being.
But I think they must not be real gangsters...they should be pretenders! Could it be...that they are coming for us?"
The carriage bumped and the wheels rolled, but the two frightened girls in the carriage didn't know that all this was just a prank, and... it was also because the fat guy didn't act according to the script.
Just when Hussein was cursing Longbottom, that damn fat guy, and thinking about how to deal with this bastard, Longbottom was actually not too far away from Hussein's men.
In fact, after Longbottom led the people to escape quickly, he did not go all the way back. Instead, he only ran back a short distance, then suddenly ordered everyone to stop, and then did not lead the people directly back to Loulan City.
Instead, he ordered to turn around and still head east...
"Going east?" A subordinate couldn't help but asked: "General, don't we need to go to the imperial capital? Why do we still have to go east?"
"Nonsense." Longbottom hit the subordinate's head hard: "Who said we should go to the imperial capital? The princess is gone, why should we go to the imperial capital! I only said to go east!"
Although the fat man was secretly feeling happy at the moment: Huh, Du Wei, Philip, and Hussein! You want to force me to marry the princess? If I don’t want to, you will take advantage of me? Hahahaha, I’ve been tricked by you now.
Already?
Thinking of the expression on Hussein's face hidden under the mask when he suddenly ran away, it must have been very wonderful, and Longbottom couldn't help but have the urge to laugh wildly.
However, we must not go back to Loulan City now!
I broke the Duke's "script", and now that things have come to pass, now that I go back, the Duke will be so angry that he doesn't know how he will punish himself!
It's better to go east for a few days to relax. After a few days, the news has passed, and this matter is over, then return to the imperial capital.
Haha, the worst I can do is beat me with dozens of military sticks. At most, I can reduce my title from general to commander...that's nothing.
Anyway, I'm thick-skinned, so I'm not afraid of being hit with a military stick. I don't care if I'm demoted.
Therefore, Longbottom took 300 of his men and continued eastward with the idea of "sheltering from the limelight". At most, it was just a long-distance training, and it didn't matter.
Therefore, less than half an hour after Hussein took away the princess, Longbottom had already led his people back. Then as usual, the three hundred riders headed east along the road.
Horse hooves swarmed, and Longbottom led 300 people down the road. The pace was much slower. Anyway, they were out to avoid the limelight, so they just thought they were out to have fun for a few days.
When it was getting dark, there was a forest in front of me. Its outline was vaguely visible in the dim sky.
Longbottom saw this and sighed. When he originally planned to do it, he had chosen a very remote place with no villages or towns in front or behind. It seemed that his three hundred people would have to sleep in the wild tonight.
But after all, they are all cavalry trained by themselves. This little hardship is nothing.
Longbottom thought of this. He felt better and pointed to the woods in the distance. He shouted: "Brothers, you will stay there for one night. Tomorrow I will take you to find a town and have a good time! Book a venue.
, let those brothers who have never eaten meat also find a few beautiful girls."
As soon as these words came out, his subordinates immediately cheered loudly and unconsciously urged their horses to go to the woods. For a moment, the team became more scattered. However, although Longbottom saw it, he did not say anything.
I was so happy that I couldn't help but lose a bit of vigilance.
And just as these three hundred people were galloping towards the forest in a chaotic manner, in the forest, a man stood quietly under the tree, squinting and looking ahead.
This man was also wearing a black robe, with a black mask on his face, and he exuded a fierce murderous aura! And just behind him, hundreds of riders were hiding in the woods in the dark and silent...
"Is it them?" The man's voice was as cold and hard as metal. A person next to him immediately squinted his eyes and looked into the distance, and immediately nodded: "Yes! The fat man in front is Longbottom, who is under Duke Tulip! We
We received news that he was the one who led the team when escorting the princess back to the imperial capital this time! Moreover, according to the intelligence, their route was correct... They were right!!"
"Huh!" A cold snort came from the man's mouth. Then he slowly pulled out a long sword and held it in his hand. Then his eyes showed a trace of excited bloodthirst:
"Do it! Order...including the princess, everyone will be killed without mercy!"
The cavalry of the Tulip family were still galloping happily, and suddenly, they heard a crisp "buzz" sound coming from the woods ahead!
Although the sound was not loud, it was extremely clear in the silent night! Some veterans immediately reacted subconsciously because they judged that this was clearly the sound of a bowstring vibrating!!
In the darkness, there was a roaring sound breaking through the sky!
Then, a cavalryman from the Tulip family who was running excitedly at the front suddenly let out a scream and rolled off the horse! His throat had been pierced by a sharp arrow! After falling off the horse, the man could not help but
He desperately grabbed his throat with both hands and struggled a few times!
In the darkness, the sound of piercing the air suddenly became more frequent! I don’t know how many sharp arrows were shot from the woods ahead! I’m afraid there were hundreds of them!
The cavalry of the Tulip family, who were galloping happily, were unprepared and were immediately hit by this round of arrows!
The screams sounded almost instantly at the same time! I don’t know how many people were hit by arrows. Some hit vital points and fell off their horses and died, while many more were shot and injured.
With a hula, I saw that dozens of people were missing from the horses. Many people fell off their horses, but were trampled to death by the hoofs of their companions following behind!
Longbottom was suddenly awakened by this sap! The experienced general immediately made the fastest reaction! His rich voice sounded like thunder: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, don't stop! Go to the woods
Li Chong! They are in the woods!!!"
Before the roar ended, he had already kicked his horse in the belly and rushed to the front! The general had already drawn his scimitar, and the fighting spirit on his body was also open. His huge body was at the front of the queue, like a barrier.
Same! The scimitar in his hand was swung left and right, blocking the sharp arrows!
