Chapter 166
Regardless of the accuracy of the information provided by Philip, after all, there is one. Looking forward, it is much better than letting Dodoro run to the chaotic leader of the East alone.
However, according to Philip, the magic kiss taro may exist in the Zaku Shang tribe in the wildfire field, so from Emperor Oscilia to the northwest border wildfire field, thousands of kilometers above the road, if you follow this If you walk slowly, when Xia Ya came to the imperial capital before, he walked this road for nearly two months, month!
And this time back, there is no specific time limit for taking office, and there is a pregnant woman like Yulia in the team, which can not stand the bumps. Originally, Xia was going to walk slowly, even if it was two or three months.
But not now.
After all, the trial of the magician of Dodoro has a deadline to complete the task: one hundred days!
Ten days have passed since the day of accepting the mission in the magic meeting, that is to say, the remaining time for the Seal of the Seal of God is only three months. In these three months, Xinxu rushed to the tribe of Zaku, the wildfire, to find the sweet kiss taro, and then rushed back to the Imperial City to register and complete the task. If you walk at such a slow pace as before, it is absolutely too late .
After discussing with the dogs, they simply split into two teams. Xia took Doodor and Philip, plus Shalpa, a team of four, each equipped with two horses, and rushed all the way to Wildfire. And the rest, Afrecate with the original Mace Tenth Regiment, coupled with the carefully-minded quartermaster Cato, and from Soyt to protect Yulia along the way, slowly forward.
There is the force of Afrecat, the fineness of Cato, and the care of Soyt. If you want to protect Yulia here, there should be no stubble.
After the separation, Xia and the other four went on the road first.
This horse whip, hurriedly hurried, just along the road to the northwest, if you missed the place to stay, simply go out and eat in the wild. Anyway, Xia Ya was once a hunter in the mountains. Shalba was born of a hundred cavalry of the Rhodes Cavalry Regiment. The days of rushing to march were already used to him. As for Todoro, although he couldn't stand it, everyone rushed for Help him, even after hard work, he can only hold on to his teeth.
But Philip didn't say anything. He and Xia were eating and sleeping together, but he didn't say a word, didn't show up, didn't show up, didn't dew, he got up early in the night, but never left the team. He is also very skilled in such things.
Originally, Xia Ya remembered that this guy was always bright, his beard was trimmed cleanly, and he looked like a nobleman. He somewhat despised this flashy guy, but this time, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. It ’s hard to eat, but it ’s not as grassy as I thought before.
In fact, Philip's original strength was quite good. In fact, his strength before injury was even higher than Charya. Charya defeated him in the imperial arena with a special reason. Philip was preconceived, thinking that he was not Xia ’s opponent, and was attacked by Xia ’s unreasonable onslaught, which overwhelmed Philip, so-called punching and killing the master. As a result, Philip was planted in Shang's hand.
Otherwise, how can a guy who has reached the level of a high-level samurai be so bad?
Here, Charlie really looked at Philip quite a bit, and hurried for four days and walked for at least two thousand miles, and even Shalpa, who was used to marching, was a little bit fed up. This, Philip said nothing. No noise, although his face did not hide his tiredness, but those eyes were getting brighter!
That was always with a bit of sly eyes, and gradually wiped away a little flick of the past, but a little tougher.
"Perhaps, after people have nowhere to go, they break and stand up." When we rushed for the fourth day, everyone finally stopped to repair, otherwise, even if people can't afford it, the horse can't stand it. Two horses per person, running around the clock, and only resting for a few hours a day. Even if Char ’s horse is a first-class war horse, it seems that his spirit is somewhat frustrated:
Everyone came to a small village to stop in the afternoon that day. Xia Ya looked at the sky and patted the sweat-soaked horseback. He said loudly, "Live here today, take a rest, and get up tomorrow. Let's hear it, Dodoro is really relieved. He is one of the few. He has the worst bones in his body. If he keeps going like this, he'll be afraid to fall before he reaches the wildfire. Hearing Chardonna ’s almost restful tears when she said "Night a night", she suddenly saw the mocking look that Chardonna sneered at herself, and Dudro hurriedly laughed: "That ... Master, I ’m not afraid of suffering, but we can still insist. If the horses are tired, they can just say, “Xia Ya smiles.” Do you also know that it hurts the horse? I do n’t think this town is small, and maybe you can buy it After a while, we went to the hotel to take a rest. You went to the town to find out if there were any horses for sale. I think both of your horses are a bit useless. Huh, you ’re riding too badly, and you do n’t know how to be considerate when driving. , Everyone walks the same way, but your horse is the most strenuous. "Dodoro's face was afraid to refute, but his heart was helpless: I am a magician! After my magic advances in the future, a wind-based flying technique will fly out dozens of miles! horse riding? Humph!
This town is really small, but there are only a few hundred households across the two streets. The only hotel in the town is at the intersection of the east side of the town, and a small square is next to it. A few people inquired. Although there are also There are horses and horses, but only horse-driving horses, but the crossbow horses are not suitable for long-distance Mercedes-Benz. This is to save Dodoro's troubles. He happily moved into the hotel to rest with everyone, just divided. When he was in the room, Charlie hesitated a little, Doodor and Scharba, while he lived with Philip.
Hearing this decision, Philip raised his eyebrows and said nothing. When Charlie returned to the room with him, he did not cover it up, and said frankly, "I told you clearly, I'm not quite assured of you guy, you are cunning and changeable. You have to change Dodoro and Sherpa. I do n’t worry about whichever one lives with you. Shalpa's head is simple and straightforward, and I attach him to you to be deceived.
Totoro is a bit delicate, but you are too far behind. So I had to look at you. Philip heard it, silent for a while, and whispered to Xia Ya, "Thank you, Lord, for frankly, there is nothing else I can understand. "Suddenly, he smiled bitterly." I am a dead man now, and speak pitifully. With you, I am safer. If I am personal, in case those guys don't give up and catch up, I will die. Already. "
After listening to this, Charya looked at Philip intently, but looking at it this way, the guy's face was calm, without any falsification.
Philip faced Charya's eyes, his voice was a bit obscure: "Master, I know the grievances before, you have a bit of disdain for this person. After I escaped from the capital this time, like a wild dog in a bereavement, in the past two days, in my heart I just understood a lot, alas, I had experienced the days of eating and sleeping like this. When I started in the early years, I brought a group of brothers to guard the business group and worked as mercenaries for a few years. At that time, though Life is bitter, the poor is poorer, but everyone is not fighting with each other. Every day is to practice martial arts to hurry. When you are free, you can have wine and meat to eat, and you can have two small, money gambling, as if gambling. It's like heaven.
But later, it gradually disappeared. When I had money in my hand, I wanted to have power. The original group of old brothers also had a gap. Gradually, later, even a true brother was gone. This time I went out. After the incident, the white-eyed wolf **** betrayed me. Except for a few loyal subordinates who have followed me for many years, the other leaders of the Wu Shi regiment did not have any one standing in my movement. Two or three of them However, the old man who had been a mercenary for more than a decade was an old man. Hum, betrayal! "
Xia Ya turned her mouth: "Oh, so you're so angry?"
Philip smiled bitterly, "There is no resentment. My lord, maybe you don't believe it, but these days, I have already thought about it. We have an old saying in Byzantines: Planted eggplants do not grow pumpkins. I plant them myself The bane of this is how I behave on weekdays, and the people below naturally learn from it. After this incident, I have been preparing for a business that has been in business for more than ten years, and it has disappeared. What reputation status is completely gone. The good result is just holding the savings for many years, finding a place where no one knows me, hiding, eating and drinking.
Moreover, I have done a lot of bad things over the years. Six has also been officially convicted but not a lot of enemies. Like Lei Carter, there are ten or eight less. If those people encounter them, I'm afraid it's worse than falling into the hands of those traitors. In the past two days, I have followed you, and I have already reached this point anyway. I do n’t have to think about it so much. I rush to the road and suffer every day. Although I have some bodice, I feel quiet in my heart. Yes, at least it's simple. "
Xia He laughed twice and squinted his eyes at Filippo. "You're enough to be a wolf. Occasionally live the life of an ox. I think you have these ideas now, and I believe you are sincere at this moment. In the long run, it will depend on your performance in the future, people, after the scenery has tasted that taste, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear loneliness in the future. "
Xia Ya naturally wouldn't let this Philip say a few words to really believe him, and he still had some vigilance on this guy.
The four had a good rest in the hotel. In the next room, Shalpa and Dodoro fell down as soon as they entered the room. They snored before they were even tickled, and even Dodoro slept like this. Like dead pigs.
After all, Xia Ya was very strong and physically strong. She wanted to get the two up for dinner, and heard the sound of thunder outside the door. She smiled and stopped, and brought Philip to the hotel to eat.
The hotels in this town are not delicious. The hotel is very small. "There is no buddy. Only the owner is busy. Fortunately, the town is too small." Caravan travellers rarely stay here. Therefore, there is not much business. For example, today, there are only a group of guests in the hotel.
The hotel owner was wearing a linen dress, but he wore a leather hat, and his face was wrinkled like a knife. It seemed that he was doing this business and ushered in. It should be a smile on his face, but the hotel owner With a frown on his face and standing in front of Xia Ya's wait, she looked sullen.
The dinner was originally humble, a rude food in a small place, but it was a plate of boiled green beans, a few pieces of dry bread, and a plate of meat sauce soup.
But it turned out that the boss probably had something to do. The dinner was cooked, the beans were cooked for a long time, and the bread was burnt, but the plate of meat sauce soup even forgot to put salt. Slap the table and drink: Boss, come here! "
The boss was still sitting there with his hands on his chin and looking at the door. Hearing Xia ’s anger, he was shocked, and hurried over to laugh at "Master, what do you want?"
Although he tried hard to laugh on his face, the sadness in the wrinkles could not be concealed.
Xia Ya dropped the spoon on the table, and said angrily, "What kind of pig food did you make! Are you afraid that I will not give money!"
Having said that, I found a silver coin from my arms to remake it in a small town like this on the table. A silver coin is enough for a family to eat for a month or two.
The boss saw the silver coins on the table, but there was no joy, just his face frowning:
"Sorry, sir, this meal is not ready, I'll go in and redo it."
After finishing speaking, he quickly put the plate on the table and turned around, but walked in two steps. He was restless and hit his foot on the side of the table next to him. The two plates smashed to the ground and dishes were scattered everywhere.
Xia Ya tightened her eyebrows and finally sighed. In the past, she bit the bite, and the boss lifted it and pressed it on the table next to him, frowning and said, "Sit down! I think you guy is also ridiculous, so what are you doing in such a panic Business. Have you encountered anything? "
The boss's expression suddenly turned bright, he looked out of the door, and then there was a hint of frustration in his eyes:
"No, nothing."
,Oh shit! Open your eyes and talk nonsense! Xia was furious, and slapped a palm on a table next to her. She immediately took off the table top with a single palm, and the wood broke into a ball!
The boss was startled, looked up and looked at Xia, it seemed a bit surprised, but then he still shook his head: no, sir, don't hit my table. "
What else did Charlie say? Philip next to him came up. He pulled Charlie a little, then a smile appeared on his face. Looking at the boss, slowly, what do you think? Don't worry, you just have to say it, maybe it will be good. Do you know who this old man is standing in front of you? "The boss shook his head blankly.
Philip gave Charya a "don't worry, look, then raised his chest, loudly" This is the army's master Xia Ya, our master is agitated, but kind-hearted, likes to be upset. He was a well-known master in the army. Last time he fought with the Odins. Those fierce Odins were in his hands. There were no hundred or eighty dead! No matter how fierce Odin madman, our master reached out and pinched to death! And our lord is a senior official now. What are your grievances? Now let ’s talk, our lord may be happy and help you. "The owner of this hotel suddenly heard his eyes widened. In the original blank eyes, there was a moment of vitality, and he looked at Charya for a while, and there was a look of hope in his eyes, but Then, the air in that eye finally faded, sighed, and shook his head, "No, no, this master, you look like a capable person, but I'm afraid that's not enough." !! "What?" Charlie frowned, glanced at Fibonacci, and suddenly deliberately made an annoying look, jumped up, pulled a dagger out of her boots, and pinned it on the wall next to it. "You guy! Lao Tzu kindly asks you, push three and stop four! Don't say, I care about your troubles, and provoke me, I will ignite the fire of your broken shop first!" The boss was frightened White and stunned, he hurried to the ground "" Oh, cry out, begging for mercy.
"Afraid, let's talk!" Xia Ya snorted and sat down with a stern face.
The boss sighed and stood in front of Xia Ya, uttering a shudder.
"This lord, although you are an army officer, the guide is just a ding, passing by, and we are here, I'm afraid you can't control it." When the boss said here, Xia stared and scared him. Folded his head, and continued to say "Our town is called Jiajiao Town. Well, because of our town, go out fifty miles to the left, Golden Horn City ... go fifty miles to the right, Silver Horn City. .
However, our town is located in the middle of the two cities. It is a new town that has only been established in the past 30 years. The division of the jurisdiction has been chaotic for many years. The town itself has a small population and there is no oil or water, that is, no food is produced. There is no wealth, and there is a big trouble and scourge nearby, so the defense leaders of the two cities are not willing to control us here. Over time, the Seal of the Throne of God has been here for a long time, and it has become three no matter where it is. In the past, there were tax officials to collect taxes every month, but later they did not even collect taxes. Still willing to do this? "Xia Ya listened to the game and laughed:" The jurisdiction is unknown, the local defense forces do not care, it is not unusual, but even the tax is not collected, that is rare. Now that taxes are no longer being collected, I think you will be busy here sooner or later, there will definitely be many people willing to relocate here and be able to evade taxes. "
"Evacuate?" The boss stared at him, and then he bitterly said, "Have you moved in? In the past two years, there have been many people who have continued in 66, but everyone who has a way out has moved away from here." What is Su? "The boss grinned grinning, pointing away," Just because we have a scourge here! " After a pause, he sighed again and slowly said, "Not far from this town, there is a mountain called Tongjiao Mountain more than ten miles away." When Xia Ya heard it, she couldn't help but smile. "You have the Golden Horn City on the left and the Silver Horn City on the right. There is also a Copper Horn Mountain next to it. No wonder your town is called Jiajiao Town." "The boss shook his head." How many years has this name been called. On the Tongjiao Mountain, there was a black tribe. A group of mercenary warriors came to take up the mountain many years ago. At first we thought that they were mercenary tribes, but later they are a group of horse thieves. Knowing that they flowed from there, the leader of the group was an old guy at the time, and was very capable. I heard that the garrison leaders of Golden Horn and Silver Horn had once led soldiers to besiege, but they were all led by the horse thief. Defeated, these local defense officers, who had lost their battles and feared being blame by the Seven Divisions, deliberately covered up the matter. I heard that the horse thief is also a powerful guy. It is said that many years ago, the defense leaders of the two cities, I went to bed at night. When I got up in the morning, I found a box of gold coins next to the pillow, and a letter inside! The letter was written by the horse thief! If you think about it, the two leading adults are so frightened that they can run to your bed silently in the middle of the night to light gold. It is not gold that you want to send, but it is always given to you while you sleep. Sword, hey!
From then on, the guards in those two cities did not dare to provoke the gang, and every year they received a sum of money sent by the horse thief, they turned a blind eye to the gang, and even helped to cover up.
As a result, our town almost became the back garden of these horse thieves. However, these guys came to town to buy some necessities www.wuxiaspot.com and some other food and poultry are also bought in town. Speaking of which, we were here It's much more lively than it is now. At that time, a few leaves in the town, and rich families, only sold their food and supplies to these horse thieves. Later, the group simply expelled each and every tax collector who came here to collect taxes. I heard that there was some money paid for the defense of the two cities. Therefore, our town has not paid for many years. Taxes. When Xia heard this, she couldn't help but laugh: "So, these horse thieves are good people."
Do not bully you, do business for you, and finally help you get rid of taxes. "
"Oh!" The hotel owner sighed. "If it was the case, it would be like this. But what I said earlier is the old collar of this group. I heard that the old collar passed away a few years ago and died of illness. Now he leads the group of horse thieves. Collar, but this little collar, as a man to do things, is not as good as his father, it is too far away. As a result, after three years as a collar, they have done dozens of bad things, which hurt our town. Everyone was frightened. The last three years have been really bad. The old collar was pretty good to us, but this "small collar, it's much more arbitrary and arbitrary." "When it comes to this, the boss seems to be suffering from bitter water:" The year before last, when the leader was in power, in the spring, the small river in front of the town was barricaded, and he began to say that he would store water and do swimming in the pool, but the weather was drier , Farmland water shortage
Later ...
