Chapter 24 What does the fat man want to do
In the morning, a small caravan is entering the magic forest from the direction of Maple Leaf City.
The wheels rumbled, and there was a dead silence around. Except for the rolling sound of the wheels and the conversation of the caravan members, there was no other sound.
The captain of the caravan squinted and leaned against the seat to make up for his sleep. Originally, they were going to leave the city yesterday, but because of the sudden martial law in the city, the unrelated motorcade could not leave the city at all yesterday. It was also thanks to the active operation and good connections of the caravan captain last night.
The departure was delayed a day, which somewhat affected the morale of the caravan. The mood of the caravan members was generally not high, and it was also listless to walk on this path.
Suddenly, a burst of broken trees with sore teeth sounded. In the harsh sound of "squeaking", a big tree on the side of the road collapsed, and a thick dust fog floated up. The whole road was closed by big trees and dust. The strong horse walking in the front hissed and soared into the air. After several kicks, it stopped with a snout. In place. The groom in the car looked at the trees and dust that closed the road in a daze, and his eyes were at a loss.
"What's wrong? What's wrong!" The captain of the caravan woke up from his dream. He jumped out of the carriage, and the dust gradually dissipated, and the big tree blocking his waist blocked the way.
The same method is almost the same as what Bill used yesterday.
"Leave the horse, and you can go back."
The cold voice sounded, and the captain of the caravan's heart suddenly burst, and then his face regained calm.
The dust was scattered, a fat man holding an exaggerated axe, and the other was indifferent, but the tall and thin man who played with the dagger in his hand with cold eyes, but the two dared to stand in front of this small caravan with more than 20 strong men, although on a small scale!
It is close to Maple Leaf City. Even if there are roadblocking robbers, most of them are scattered soldiers. The captain of the caravan guessed secretly and was relieved at the same time, but the businessman paid attention to harmony and making money, and there was still a habitual smile on his face.
"You two, it's really unfortunate that we just came out of the city and haven't made a single deal yet. Brothers also want to eat. Well, I have two gold coins here. Can you take them to buy a bowl of wine to eat and drink?"
Two gold coins are purely to send begrets. If this robber really robbed only two gold coins at a time, it would be a shame.
The members of the caravan all craned their necks and jokingly wanted to see the two fat and thin robbers make a fool, but the two robbers didn't seem to know what's good or not, and still stopped on the road, looking indifferent and arrogant.
"Let me say it again, leave the horse, and you can go back."
The pale fat man, who looked a little pale, took a step forward, and his voice was full of indifference. It's just that the second time he didn't know how to advance and retreat, he finally annoyed these caravan members who were originally licking blood with knives. They shouted out of the carriage, rolled up their sleeves and pulled out their weapons one after another, trying to teach the two new young robbers who didn't know the depth.
The fat man carrying an exaggerated axe on his shoulder was unmoved at all. He smiled contemptuously and said coldly, "Do you want more people to bully less? Then let's have a try."
With a "bang", the fat man held the huge axe on the ground, and then gently patted the palm of his hand three times. The members of the caravan were a little surprised, but suddenly they were shocked to see on both sides of the road. I don't know when 70 or 80 ferocious Tibetan men appeared quietly!
"Don't, don't... I have something to say. It was my fault just now. It's all my fault." The captain of the caravan had seen sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that there would be so many robbers so close to Maple Leaf City. He was thinking about how to resolve the crisis, but the fat man showed an impatient look and said, "I'll count three times. If you haven't made a decision, let us help you make a decision. We Just your horses."
After saying that, the fat man did not give the captain of the caravan any time to bargain, and directly quoted: "One, two..."
The 70 or 80 Tibetan men on both sides have pulled out their weapons and grinned with a ferocious smile. The head of the caravan's mind was almost blank. At this time, the fat man had already read 'three'!
"Do it!" The fat man ordered the attack without hesitation, but the captain of the caravan suddenly woke up from his confusion: "Wait, let's give it, let's do it, don't do it!"
"Hmm, it's your acquaintance." The fat man's tone was cold, but there was an imperceptible smile at the corners of his mouth.
*
"What! Did he really say that?!"
"Yes, Your Highness, the villain dares not lie. The fat man said that he would flatten Maple Leaf City tomorrow. He also asked the villain to tell His Highness, saying, saying..."
"Quickly, what did he say!"
"He said that if His Royal Highness is not an eggless woman, then go out of the city to fight him to the death."
"Papa! Stop it!!" The eldest prince's face was full of anger. Hearing the abominable words of the captain of the caravan kneeling on the ground, he raised his hand and slapped him fiercely. The captain of the caravan was hit in the face, and the corners of his mouth were full of blood, but he did not dare to wipe it. He kowtowed his head to the ground and raised his buttocks, but he did not dare to open his mouth randomly.
The eldest prince Jed looked at the frightened captain of the caravan in front of him and felt even more angry. He walked over and kicked the other party's buttocks. After kicking him to the ground, he scolded loudly, "Say, keep telling me, what else did the damn fat man say!" You can't miss a word!!"
The eldest prince was so happy and grumpy. The ministers in the room knew what the eldest prince was, so no one dared to come out to persuade him. Looking at the help cast by the honest captain of the caravan, they also looked away one by one as if they had not seen it.
The captain of the caravan was really unlucky today. First, he was unfavorable to go out and was robbed of his horse by the fat man and Bill. At this time, he came to report to the eldest prince. The thought that he wanted to reward had faded long ago. It was lucky to ask the eldest prince not to be angry with him. He wanted to bite his mouth to death and didn't answer, but under the eldest prince's fierce eyes, there was no room for him to hesitate. After gritting his teeth, he could only say it out.
The captain of the caravan said all the words. Fortunately, the eldest prince Jed was not angry with him in the end. Of course, he did not dare to mention any rewards. After the eldest prince asked a few more words, he withdrew from the door in frustration.
"You have all heard what he said. Let's talk about what you think." Seeing the merchant leave, the eldest prince looked at his courtiers all over the room and said with a cold face.
Dept wanted the eldest prince to look at it differently. Seeing that the others did not speak, he said carefully: "Just now, the businessman said that the people who followed the fat man Zhang Biao were all the underground forces of Maple Leaf City who were driven out of the city by us, but as far as I know, Zhang Biao should not know any underground forces, and he It's even more nonsense to say that Maple Leaf City will be flattened the day after tomorrow. What does he rely on? Even if he really received seventy or eighty, would these people dare to say such a big word? I guess he must have other plans. Maybe this is his suspicious plan. They don't want Wang Debiao's body and bluff at all. They just want to escape from our pursuit in chaos.
The more Dept said, the more he felt that it was not bad. He glanced at Edmdo, where the old god was there, and a trace of joke flashed in his eyes, and then lowered his head again.
After Dept's words, before everyone could figure it out, the bodyguard outside the door came to report that the captain of the caravan who met the robbers came out of the city to see him.
After letting the businessman in and listening to his tearful and snot telling the story, the people present couldn't help looking at each other.
The businessman's words are much the same as the previous businessman's words, but new information is in the businessman's words. According to him, the team led by fat Zhang Biao has more than 70 or 80 people, but nearly 200 people. What's more exaggerated is that in addition to the team led by the fat man Zhang Biao, I heard that there are 17 or 18 teams of similar numbers are gathering here, and their goals are all the eldest prince Jed who set off bloody killings in Maple Leaf City!
"17 or 18 teams? If each number of people is 100, it will be about 2,000, and if it is 200, then..."
Someone's eyes widened, which can indeed form an army that is enough to destroy the city! But... just by those naughty villains? How is this possible!
"That fat man Zhang Biao must be bluffing, it must be! He is just a dominion. How can he be able to organize such a huge manpower? Besides, those naughty villains are just to be majestic against those parables. How dare they really resist the army of the empire? Deput still strongly denied it, but he was more or less uncertain in his words.
Brent, a fire magician who had been watching coldly, suddenly said, "This fat man Zhang Biao is a little strange. It's not as simple as an ordinary parable. It was not just luck that he was able to escape from me the night before yesterday. He is an illusionist, and he is also a very profound illusionist! Deput, did you know this for a long time?"
A slight cold sweat appeared on Deput's forehead, and Brent's eyes seemed to be slightly hot, which made him dare not look at each other.
"He... I don't know if he is an illusionist, but... but he does have some strange skills."
"Humph!" Brent snorted coldly and no longer looked at Deput with his head down. He looked at the eldest prince anxiously and said, "This fat man Zhang Biao is very strange. Since the eldest prince has become a sworn enemy with him, no matter whether he can win the golden-winged roc young bird in the end, this hidden danger must be completely eradicated."
The eldest prince Jed nodded and turned his head to Edmendo, who had always been calm.
Edmondo smiled faintly, stepped forward and said calmly, "In fact, whether Zhang Biao is bluffing or really wants to flatten Maple Leaf City, what we have to do now is to wait until the day after tomorrow's so-called decisive battle."
After a pause, Edmudo looked at the confused eyes of the crowd and said, "Actually, if it's really like those businessmen said, the fat Zhang Biao gathered those naughty villains and wanted to make a big counterattack. Even if the number of them is doubled, in the face of these unorganized skin splashes, what can we be afraid of? On the contrary, it is convenient for us to catch all the nearby splashes, which also saves us the effort to find those rebellious guys. However, this is just a 'if'. In fact, fat Zhang Biao can't conjure up with a splash army at all. Even if there is, the number can never be as huge as thousands of people. Maybe he just did this just to disturb our sight and achieve his purpose.
EdmUNDO's eyes are sharp and deep. He has been operating in Maple Leaf City for many years. Naturally, he will not believe that the fat man can gather underground forces of such a large scale in a short time. Edmudo is the best at speculating people's hearts. With his understanding of Fatty and Bill, he knows that they will never let Wang Debiao's body be exposed and run for their lives. What's more, even if they really plan to escape, Edmudo is confident that he can find the trace of the two.
It's just that although he has an extremely clear understanding of the situation, Edmdo still has an unsolved doubt: what do fat people want to do?
More news came one after another, whether it was a caravan, an adventurer, or a pedestrian on the journey. Without exception, they all encountered robbers led by Fatty and Bill.
It's just strange that these robbers don't want gold coins or other precious goods, just horses or other living animals. Then he sent the robbed man to tell the eldest prince.
The robbery happened one after another. No matter how good the eldest prince Jade is, he will be angry, not to mention that the eldest prince himself is grumpy and immoral.
A phalanx of thousands of soldiers received the order and entered the magic forest fully armed.
Although Edmud also did not agree with the eldest prince's approach, he did not dissuade him. He was also extremely curious about the strange behavior of the fat man. Since the eldest prince had ordered the army to be dispatched, he might as well take the opportunity to see how the fat man would deal with it.
A thousand soldiers entered the magic forest with high morale. They were like a clenched fist, but it was a pity that the clenched fists were sometimes not unfavorable. They punched the empty place and searched all the places mentioned by the hijackers. In addition to being a cheap road cleaner and moving several big trees from the road. When they went out, they found nothing.
In the rumor, the number of robbers who were approaching 500 people suddenly disappeared like evaporation in the world. The soldiers even checked the scene of some hijacking incidents, but unexpectedly, they found nothing and did not find any clue.
When the general who led the army came back to report to the eldest prince, the eldest prince couldn't help getting angry again.
"How can more than 500 robbers not even find half a human figure? Look, keep looking for me! I can't find those robbers. What about the horse? What about those live animals that have been robbed? Have all these disappeared?"
A thousand imperial border defense forces could not even find the traces of 500 robbers, which made the eldest prince angry. At the same time, he also deeply understood the weakness of the imperial frontier defense army. He no longer believed in the defenders of Maple Leaf City, but instead sent his own bodyguards into the magic forest and continued to search for fat. The trace of Zi Zhang Biao and his more than 500 splashing robbers.
This time, the bodyguard's search speed was finally faster, but in the result, except for a large area of unexplained blood stains, the bodyguard also found nothing. More than 500 robbers disappeared out of thin air. It was unclear. No one knew where such a huge team had gone. The eldest prince Jade was stuck in his throat and looked at Edmudo again as if he asked for help.
Edmudo did not disappoint him. After thinking for a while, he said in a low voice, "It is impossible for the team of more than 500 people to disappear out of thin air. If there is such a team, the bodyguards of General Chisa and His Royal Highness will certainly find their clues. In the current situation, there is only one explanation..."
Prince Jed's eyes lit up: "What?"
"These so-called skin-plattering robbers are all the illusions of fat man Zhang Biao. These people don't exist at all!"
Edmondo's bold speculation was not only stunned by the eldest prince Jade, but also the rest of the room showed incredible expressions.
"Impossible! Those businessmen or adventurers have seen it with their own eyes. If it's an illusion, are those businessmen and adventurers all idiots!" Deput was the first to express his objections.
Edmudo gave him a cold look and asked, "Then who was scared by a group of fake monsters and turned around and ran away?"
"This, this..." Deput was tongue-tied. He had always regarded this matter as a great shame and kept his mouth shut, but he didn't expect that Edmudo didn't know who he got the news from and said it in public.
The people here are all human beings. They can roughly guess the beginning and end of the matter from the dialogue and expressions of the two. In the face of other people's ridiculing eyes, Deput's face was lightless, and his heart was even more jealous of Edmud.
"So, those more than 500 skin-popper robbers may really be transformed into illusions?" Prince Jed was skeptical, but he was still somewhat defensive. After thinking about it, he ordered, "Send someone else to search around Maple Leaf City. This fat man is extremely cunning. He has robbed so many horses. Maybe he just wants to use horsepower to fight around. Let people pay close attention to the surroundings of Maple Leaf City. As soon as there is any news, come and report it immediately!"
Although Edmdo was a little disapproving, since the eldest prince had ordered, although he was valued by the eldest prince, after all, he had just become the eldest prince's subordinate. He hesitated a little and finally said nothing. However, he became more and more curious: What on earth does that fat man want to do?
*
What are you doing? Hey hey, from now on, we will cut as much as this large piece of grass!" The fat man held a sickle with a proud face.
"Boo--" The thick-earth barbarian cow next to him raised his hair and howled. He looked at the fat man and Bill holding the sickle, shook the cow's head, and lowered his head again to eat grass at ease.
"Fat, can you really do it?" Bill knocked on the sickle in his hand with a dagger, with a puzzled face.
"I don't know if it can work, but I know. If we don't try it, we won't do it! We only have this chance, Bill.
"Okay, then do it." Facing the large green grass in front of him, Bill shook his head helplessly, lowered his lower body, and waved the sickle in his hand vigorously.
"Bing-" The little fly in charge of guarding the surroundings suddenly drilled into the dense forest from the sky, and one hovered down on the shoulder of the little demon hiding on the canopy.
Through the lush leaves, the little demon looked in the direction of the fat man, and his long and charming eyes were full of curiosity and doubt: "Master... What on earth do you want to do?"
