Chapter 163: Forced Marriage


Regardless of whether the information provided by Philip is accurate or not, it is better to have a hope than to let Dotaro run alone to the Chaos Lords in the east to try his luck.

It's just that, according to what Philip said, the Devil's Kiss Taro may exist in the Zaku tribe in the Wildfire Plain, so the journey from Yanjing Osgilia to the Northwest Border Wildfire Plain, thousands of kilometers along the way, if you follow such a slow walk, when Char came to Yanjing before, he walked for nearly two months And this time I went back, anyway, there was no specific deadline for taking office, and there was such a pregnant woman as Yulia in the team, who couldn't stand the bumps, Char originally planned to walk slowly, even if it was two or three months, it didn't matter.

But not now.

After all, the mage trial in Tatara has a deadline for completing the task: 100 days Ten days have passed since I accepted the assignment in the Magic Guild that day, which means that there are only three months left.

In these three months, you must rush to the Wildfire Plain, the Zaku Turen tribe, find the magic kiss taro, and then rush all the way back to the Yanjing Magic Union to register and complete the task.

After discussing it, everyone simply divided into two teams.

Char took Dodoro and Philip, plus Sharpa, a group of four, each equipped with two horses, and rushed all the way to the wildfire field.

For the rest, Alfrecat took the original Wolf Tooth Warrior Regiment, plus the meticulous quartermaster Cato, and Hu Cong Soyt, protecting Yulia along the way, and slowly moving forward.

With Alfrecat's force, Cato's finesse, and Soyt's care, if you want to protect Yulia along the way, there shouldn't be any stubble.

After the separation, Char and the other four went on the road first.

Hurry up along the road, just go northwest along the road, and if you miss the place to stay, you can simply sleep in the wilderness.

Anyway, Char used to be a hunter in the mountains, and Sharba was born as a hundred cavalry of the Rhodria Cavalry Regiment, and he was already used to marching in a hurry.

It's that Philip, who was silent all the way, eating and sleeping with Char and others, but he didn't say a word, didn't show the mountains and water, got up early and greedy for darkness, but never fell behind, even if he slept in the wilderness, what kind of things like raising a bonfire and setting up a tent to feed the horses, he was actually very skilled.

Originally, Char remembered that this guy was always bright, his beard was neatly trimmed, and he was dressed like a nobleman, and he despised this kind of flashy guy in his heart, but this time, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised: this guy could also endure hardship, but he was not as straw as he thought before.

In fact, Philip's original strength was quite good, really calculated, his strength before he was injured was even higher than Char's, Char defeated him in the Yanjing Arena, quite a bit of a special reason in it, Philip was preconceived, thinking that he was not Char's opponent, and was attacked by Char's unreasonable onslaught, and crushed Philip in momentum, the so-called indiscriminate punch to kill the master, as a result, Philip was planted in the hands of the turtle.

Otherwise, how could a guy whose strength had reached the level of a high-level samurai be so unbearable Along the way, Char was really a little impressed by Philip, and after four days of driving, he walked at least more than 2,000 miles, and even the Sharpa, who was used to marching, was a little unbearable, this Philip was silent, although his face did not hide his tiredness, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter The eyes that were always a little cunning gradually erased a trace of the previous frivolity, and a little more tenacious.

"Perhaps, after people are cornered, they should break and stand up."

On the fourth day, everyone finally stopped to trim, otherwise, even if the people could eat, the horses would not be able to stand it.

Two horses per person, running non-stop day and night, and only resting for a few hours a day, even if Char's horse was a high-grade war horse, he saw that his spirit was a little relieved.

On this day, everyone came to the entrance of a small village and stopped in the afternoon, Char looked at the sky, patted the horse's back that was already soaked in sweat, and said loudly: "Stay here today, rest for the night, and get up tomorrow and hurry again."

When Tatara heard this, he was really relieved, he was the worst of the several people, and if he continued like this, he was afraid that he would fall first before he reached the wildfire field.

Hearing Char say "rest for the night", Tataro was so moved that he almost shed tears, but suddenly saw Char's mocking eyes glancing at him, and Dotara hurriedly laughed: "That master, I'm not afraid of hardship, it's just that we can still persevere, if the horses are tired, it's okay" Char smiled: "Do you also know that I feel sorry for the horse, I see that this town is not small, maybe you can buy a horse, we will find a hotel to rest in a while, you go to the town to inquire to see if there are any horses for sale, I see that your two horses are a little useless, your riding skills are too poor, you don't know how to be considerate of horsepower when you are in a hurry, everyone walks the same way, but your horse is the most difficult." ” Dodoro didn't dare to refute on his face, but he was helpless in his heart: I'm a magician, and when I make a big progress in magic in the future, a wind flying technique will fly dozens of miles to ride a horse This town is really not big, but the vertical and horizontal two streets, it seems that there are only a few hundred households, the only hotel in the town is at the east intersection of the town, next to a small square, a few people inquired, although there are also cars and horses in the town, but there are only horses for pulling carts, that kind of horses are not suitable for long-distance galloping, which makes Duoduoluo save trouble, happily with everyone to live in the hotel to rest, but when the room is divided, Char hesitated slightly, Duoduoluo and Sharba one, And he lives in a room with Philip.

Hearing this decision, Philip's eyebrows moved, and he didn't say anything.

After Char returned to the room with him, he did not hide it, and said straightforwardly: "I also told you that I am not very at ease with you guy, you are cunning and changeable, and I am not at ease with any one of you who lives with you."

Sharba is simple-minded and straightforward, and I'm afraid he will be deceived by you.

Todora is a little fine, but his strength is too far behind you.

So, I had to come and see you. ” Philip listened, was silent for a while, saluted Char, and whispered: "Thank you, sir, for being honest, I know in my heart that I won't have anything else in mind."

After a pause, he smiled bitterly: "I am now a person at the end of the road, to put it pitifully, with you, I am safer, if I am alone, if those guys don't give up and catch up, I will die." ” When Char heard this, he stared at Philip, but looking at it this way, this guy's face was calm, and he didn't look like he was fake at all.

Philip met Char's eyes, and his tone was a little obscure: "My lord, I know the previous grievances, and you have some disdain for me as a person.

After I escaped from Yanjing this time, like a wild dog that lost my home, in the last two days, I have understood a lot in my heart, alas, I have also experienced such a wind and sleeping in the open air, I have also experienced it, when I got home in my early years, I took a group of brothers to serve as a guard for the merchant group, and worked as a mercenary for a few years.

Every day is to practice martial arts and hurry, when you are free, you have wine to drink and meat to eat, and you can have two small money to gamble, it is like heaven.

But later, gradually made a fortune, with money in hand, I wanted to have power, the original group of old brothers, also had estrangement, and gradually later, there was not even a true brother around me, this time I had an accident, the white-eyed wolf bastard betrayed me, except for a few die-hard subordinates who have followed me for many years, the rest of the leaders of the samurai regiment, but none of them stood on my side, there were two or three of them, but the old man who was mixed up as a mercenary for more than ten years back then.

Hmph, betrayal, betrayal" Char pouted: "Oh, in this way, you are angry" Philip smiled bitterly: "There is no resentment.

Your Excellency, you may not believe it, but these days, I have already figured it out.

We Byzantines have an old saying: the eggplant you grow will not grow pumpkins.

The bane I planted myself, how I usually behave, the people below will naturally follow suit.

After this incident, the business that I had worked hard for more than ten years was gone, and all my reputation and status were completely gone.

The best outcome in the future is to hold on to my savings for many years, find a place where no one knows me, hide, eat, drink and die.

Moreover, I have done a lot of bad things over the years, and I have not offended many enemies, like Afrecut, there are ten or eight of them, and if those people touch me, I am afraid that the end will be even more miserable than falling into the hands of those traitors.

In the past two days, I have been on the road with you, anyway, I have fallen to this step, but I don't have to think so much anymore, I rush to endure hardships every day, although my body suffers a little, but my heart is quiet, I think this is good, at least a simple. ” Char laughed dryly twice, and looked at Philip with slanted eyes: "You are enough to be a wolf, and occasionally you have been a scalper, hum, you have these thoughts now, I believe you are sincere at the moment, but when it comes to a long time, it depends on your performance in the future, people, after the scenery, after tasting that taste, I am afraid that I will not be able to bear the loneliness in the future." ” Char naturally wouldn't let this Philip say a few words and really believe him, and he was still a little wary of this guy in his heart.

The four of them rested well in the inn, and in the next room, Sharba and Totaro fell asleep as soon as they entered the room, and in less than a moment they were snoring profusely, and even Dotaro slept like dead pigs.

After all, Char is physically strong and abnormal, and originally wanted to ask the two of them to get up and go down to eat, but when he heard the snoring inside outside the door, he smiled and gave up, and pulled Philip to the front of the inn to eat.

There is nothing to eat in the hotel in this town, this inn is very small, there is not even a guy, only the boss is busy, fortunately the town is too small, caravan travelers rarely stay here, so there is not much business, for example, today, there is only Char and a group of guests staying in this hotel.

The innkeeper was wearing a linen dress, but he was wearing a leather hat and a leather hat, and the wrinkles on his face were like a knife, as if he was doing this kind of business, and he should be full of smiles on his face, but the innkeeper had a sad face, and when he stood in front of Char and waited, he was only willing to make promises, and his face was full of gloom.

This dinner was originally simple, and the coarse food of the small place was nothing more than a plate of boiled green beans, plus a few pieces of dry bread, and a plate of bolognese.

But it turned out that this boss probably had something on his mind, this dinner was made, the beans were cooked for half a lifetime, the bread was burnt, and the plate of meat sauce soup forgot to put salt, Char only took a bite, his face was unhappy, he slapped the table, and shouted: "Boss, come here" The boss was still sitting there with his chin in his hands, looking at the door in a daze, when he heard Char's angry shout, he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly ran over to laugh: "Master, what do you command" Although he tried his best to smile on his face, the sad look in the wrinkles could not be concealed.

Char threw the spoon on the table and said angrily: "What kind of pig food are you making, are you afraid that Lao Tzu will not give money?"

After speaking, he took out a silver coin from his bosom and slapped it on the table, in this kind of town, one silver coin is enough for a family to eat for a month or two.

When the boss saw the silver coins on the table, he was not happy, but he just bowed with a sad face: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this master, this meal is not ready, I'll go in and redo it." ” After speaking, he quickly put away the plates on the table and turned around and walked in, but after taking two steps, he was restless, and hit the table leg next to him with a kick, and suddenly fell to the ground with a thud, and suddenly the two plates in his hand smashed to the ground, and the dishes were spilled everywhere.

Char wrinkled his eyebrows tightly, and finally sighed, went over and lifted the boss up and pressed it on the table next to him, frowning: "Sit down, I see that you guys are also ridiculous, what kind of business are you doing in such a panic."

Did you encounter something?"

The boss suddenly looked panicked, looked out of the door, and then a trace of frustration flashed in his eyes: "No, no, nothing." ” "Damn, open your eyes and talk nonsense" Char was furious, and slapped a slap on a table next to him, and immediately slapped the table board directly through, and the wood was crumbling into a ball The boss was startled, raised his head and looked at Char, as if he was a little surprised, but then he still shook his head: "No, no master, don't hit my table." ” Char was about to say something, but Philip next to him walked up, he pulled Char a little, and then a smile appeared on his face, looked at the boss, and said slowly: "Well, you seem to have some troubles, don't be afraid, you just say it, maybe it will be beneficial."

Do you know who this old man is standing in front of you?"

The boss shook his head blankly.

Philip gave Char a "don't worry" look, then puffed up his chest and said loudly: "This is the fierce general in the army, Lord Char, our lord's surname is impatient, but he is kind-hearted, and he likes to fight unevenly."

He is a famous master in the army, the last time he fought with the Odin, those fierce Odin people in his hands, died not a hundred but eighty more fierce Odin madmen, our lord stretched out his hand and pinched to death and our lord is now a high-ranking official, what grievances do you have, say it now, our lord is happy, maybe I will help you. ” The innkeeper, hearing this, suddenly widened his eyes, and in his originally blank eyes, there was suddenly a wisp of vitality, and he looked at Char for a while, and there was a bit of hope in his eyes, but then, the spirit in his eyes finally dimmed, sighed, shook his head and said: "No, no, this lord, you look like a capable person, but I'm afraid it's still not good." ” "What" Char frowned, glanced at Philip, and suddenly deliberately made a look of annoyance, jumped up and pulled out a dagger from his boots, and nailed it to the wall next to him with a snatch, glaring and shouting: "You guy Lao Tzu kindly asked you, don't you say anything, I don't care if you have any troubles, and it angers me, I will first burn you to this broken shop."

The boss turned pale with fright and trembled, and quickly threw himself on the ground, screaming "ouch" and begging for mercy loudly.

"If you're afraid, just say it" Char snorted and sat down with a straight face.

The boss sighed, stood in front of Char with his hands tied, and said it hesitantly.

"My lord, although you are an officer, after all, you are just a passerby, and we have affairs here, even if you can't take care of it."

When the boss said this, Char glared at him, shrank his head in fright, and hurriedly continued: "Our town is called Jiaojiao Town, because our town, fifty miles to the left is the Golden Horn City, and fifty miles to the right is the Silver Horn City.

But our town is sandwiched between two cities, it is a new town that has only risen in the past 30 years, and the division of the jurisdiction has been chaotic for many years, the town itself has a small population, and there is no oil and water, that is, it does not produce food and does not produce wealth, and there is a big trouble nearby, so the garrison commanders of the two cities are not happy to take care of us here, after a long time, this place has become a three-regardless place, and the local garrison has never cared about us, and there used to be tax collectors to collect taxes every month, but then even taxes were not collected."

"Yi still has this kind of thing" Char laughed at the game: "The jurisdiction is unknown, and the local garrison doesn't care, it's not unusual, but even the tax is not collected, that's rare."

Since there are no taxes, I think you will be lively here sooner or later, and there will definitely be many people who are willing to move here and can evade taxes. ” "Moving in" The boss glared, and then said bitterly: "There are no people who have moved in, but in the past two years, many families have moved out one after another, but anyone who has a way out has moved away from here." ” "Here's why" The boss grinned wryly and pointed to the distance outside the door: "Just because, we have a scourge here" After a pause, he sighed again and said slowly: "Not far from this town, there is a mountain more than ten miles away, called Tongjiao Mountain. ” When Xia Ya heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "You have Golden Horn City on your left, Silver Horn City on your right, and there is a Tongjiao Mountain next to it, no wonder your town is called Jiaojiao Town." ” The boss shook his head: "How many years has this name been called?"

On that Tongjiao Mountain, there is a black tribe, many years ago came a group of mercenary warriors, they occupied the mountain, at first we thought they were a mercenary tribe, and then we found out that it was a group of horse thieves, and I don't know where it flowed over, the leader of that group of people, was an old guy, very powerful, I heard that the garrison commander of Golden Horn City and Silver Horn City once led troops to encircle and suppress, but they were all defeated by the horse thief leader, these local garrison officers, after losing the battle, are afraid of being blamed by the boss, I deliberately covered up the matter, and I heard that the horse thief leader is also a powerful guy, legend has it that many years ago, the garrison commander of the two cities, slept at night, and when he got up in the morning, he found a box of gold coins next to the pillow, and there was a letter written by the horse thief leader.

Instead, he took advantage of the people's sleep to give a knife, hey, from then on, the garrison commanders of the two cities did not dare to provoke that group, and every year they would get a sum of money from the horse thieves, so they ignored this group of people, and even asked from above, and helped cover it up.

As a result, our small town has almost become the backyard of this group of horse thieves.

However, these guys come to the town every once in a while to buy some necessities of life, and some grain, poultry and meat and other things, and they also rely on the town to buy, speaking of which, we used to be much more lively here than we are now.

At that time, several wealthy families in the town made their fortunes by selling food and daily necessities to these horse thieves.

Later, this group of people simply expelled the tax collectors who came here every month to collect taxes, and I heard that there was a sum of money for the garrisons of the two cities behind the scenes, so our small town has not paid taxes for many years. ” When Char heard this, he couldn't help but be happy: "In this way, this gang of horse thieves is a good person."

I didn't bully you, I gave you a business, and finally helped you get rid of your taxes. ” "Alas," the innkeeper sighed, "If it was back then, it would have been like this.

But I was talking about the old leader of the gang.

I heard that the old leader died of illness a few years ago, and now it is the little leader who leads this gang of horse thieves, but this little leader is not as good as his father in doing things and is too far behind.

As a result, he has only been the leader for three years, and he has done dozens of bad things, causing chickens and dogs to jump all day long in our town, and everyone is terrified. ” Speaking of this, the boss seems to be bitter: "When the little leader was in power the year before last, he built a water barrier on the small river in front of the town in the spring, and began to say that he wanted to store water and make a pool for swimming and playing, but the weather was less rainy and the farmland was short of water, so our town sent people to beg, and the little leader agreed, so he ordered the water barrier to be dug up, but this digging was too big, and the water was too fierce, so that the fields on both sides of the river were annihilated, and the grain harvest that year was less than half, but we had a poor harvest here.

But the little leader ordered us to continue to sell grain to them, you think, we have nothing to eat, where is there anything to sell to these people, so the little leader personally took people into the town and collected food from house to house, and as a result, more than 20 families in our town moved away that year.

In the second year, the little leader led people to the town, saying that he had found a way for everyone to make money, and he did not know where to get more than a hundred saplings, saying that he had obtained a fruit tree from the south, and that after planting it, the fruit could be harvested in the autumn, and the fruit could be sold for a lot of money.

But this sapling is so expensive, we can't buy it, the little leader said, if you plant the tree, you will have to pay half of the money to them when you sell the fruit in the future.

No one of us here has ever seen it, and no one dares to plant it, so we thought that the money for buying saplings was contributed to this group of people to buy peace, but this little leader didn't do it, and actually brought people to the town, and went door-to-door to showdown, and forcibly ordered us to fill in the farmland and plant those trees.

In less than two months, all the saplings died, and the farming time was delayed, and that year, the grain harvest was again poor, and a third of the people in our town were missing.

The third year, this year, was even more unlucky.

In the past, when the little leaders of other families did things, the most they did was to harm the fields, and in the end we lost a few dollars, gritted our teeth, and survived.

But this year, the little leader came out, saying that he wanted to get married, not only the little leader himself, but also the men and women of the gang of horse thieves, and many of them were single and did not have a family, saying that they were going to marry on the spot in our town, and ordered all the young men and women in our town to line up for them to choose, which was simply a robbery of the population, and this matter made a fuss, and there were almost half of the families left in the town, but those who had a way out moved and ran away. ” Speaking of this, the innkeeper cried with a sad face: "Other people's families are just that, at most the little leader of the horse thieves fell in love with their own girl, or married the daughter of a horse thief, but I was miserable The little leader, I don't know how to fall in love with my child, under the strong order, must marry with my family, pity my child, this year is only eighteen years old, after being persecuted by the little chief, he hid in his room at home all day, and woke up from his dreams night and night.

But the wedding date has been set, and today is tonight, and the little chief is going to bring someone over to pick up the kiss."

After saying that, the innkeeper cried loudly, beat his chest and patted his head, and cried breathlessly.

When Char heard this, he was also furious, and he got up and shouted: "Bastard bastard, this thing that occupies the place and molests the good family, Lao Tzu hasn't had time to do it, but this horse thief leader is more comfortable than Lao Tzu, it's too annoying."

Speaking of this, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words, and shouted with righteousness: "I am an imperial official, how can I see this kind of evil thing, let it go, don't worry, this matter Uncle Ben is in charge of when the horse thief will come to pick up Lao Tzu and not break that bastard's legs, I will be raised by you" The boss cried with a sad face: "It's almost time to calculate" As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from a distance on the street outside the gate.

When the innkeeper heard this, his face immediately turned pale and his face was full of fear, and he said in a trembling voice: "Ah, come, come, come."

When Char heard this, he laughed wildly: "It's good that I'm suffocating for the past two days, so I'll use these guys for pastime."

After speaking, he pushed the innkeeper: "You go to the back to hide first" "Your lord, can you do it" The innkeeper smiled bitterly: "Although this little leader is not very good, but his skills are stronger than the old leader, I heard that even the garrison commanders of the two nearby cities, the two of them together can't beat this one." cut Char pouted, how capable this kind of little thief leader in the poor countryside can be, but even Hasteen has seen it He pushed the boss: "Don't talk nonsense, go in and hide" After saying that, he strode over, moved a chair and stopped at the gate, and the big appearance was there, and Philip frowned next to him, and went over to stand beside Char.

On the long street outside the gate, a group of horseback riders galloped from the street like a whirlwind and clouds, rushed to the door of the hotel and suddenly stopped, for a while people shouted horses neighing, but there was really a bit of momentum Seeing these guys, everyone is fierce, all fierce, among them a black high-headed horse, from the horseback turned over and jumped down a burly and majestic figure When Char looked at this person, he couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart: What a fierce man This man was majestic, almost one size wider and taller than Char's side, the giant bull man Sharpa The shoulders are as broad as a mountain tiger's back, and he jumps off the horse, with brown curly hair scattered, showing his wild nature, a square face, a wide chin, an angular contour, and two horizontal flesh on each cheek, which makes this face like a tiger's head and a lion's head A strong man with a high-quality rhinoceros leather armor, painted blood-red, and two wide short-handled battle axes crossed behind him, stood in front of people, without speaking, naturally giving people a sense of shock as before approaching the peak I saw this fierce man like a bear and tiger, Long Xing strode to the door of the hotel, and saw Xia Ya sitting at the door, his face showed a wave of anger, and he shouted in a thick voice: "What's the matter, boss, come out" Char sneered, put on a posture, and was about to say a few words like "The thief is looking for death", but the second sentence of the horse thief leader directly shocked our Char Master and fell off the chair "Boss, bring your son out, I'm here to pick up my new husband" bang Char planted his ass in one fell swoop The boss's son, new husband Char turned her head to look at the "macho man" in front of her as if she had seen a ghost.
