Chapter 165: Memories
I didn't expect to meet Fred here, I thought he had been ruthlessly abandoned by Arecio Heart, like the poor soldier.
"Hey, gentlemen." Fred greeted both of us very pleasantly, he seemed to be very healthy, unharmed, and it seemed that he had left while he was on the perimeter.
"Okay, Fred, my friend." Arecio looked around and asked Fred, "Why, what about our carriage?" ”
"Oh, my lord, here we are!" Fred said, and whistled rhythmically into the woods, thinking that the bush would respond in an instant. After a while, I saw two carriages, which were not very large and inconspicuous, slowly coming out of the bushes under the pull of two old horses, accompanied by four or five poorly dressed men, and this was the last of Arecio's belongings.
"Your Excellency, please!"
Fred stretched out his hand and led Arecio to the first carriage, and a soldier hurriedly ran to his knees, and Arecio stretched out his foot and stepped on his back, using this as a fulcrum, and with a sharp force, he boarded the carriage. The carriage in front was used to pull Arethio, his exclusive car, while the back was used to load goods, all of which were food, weapons and so on, and could not sit on people.
There was no way, only to follow the ordinary soldiers with their heads down, step by step.
"Give it! Keep these, and only after eating them will you have the strength to go on the road. ”
Fred handed each of us a kettle and two pieces of bread, which were baked a little dry. Taking the bread and kettle, I felt that I had a good feeling along the way.
"Hurry up, the slaves of Bagorda will not see me, they will definitely look around" Arecio sat lazily on the carriage and straightened the fur blanket on it, probably the blanket was not a precious animal, and the fur was not so comfortable, so it was not so pleasant for Arecio to lie on it.
"I'm very sorry to have wronged you, but for the sake of safety, I would like to ask the Governor to forgive me." Fred stood by the frame, bowing his head to Arecio, acting respectfully.
He, Arecio, was not an arrogant and unreasonable character, and when he learned that this was for the sake of safety, he did not pursue anything, but just lay down softly, muttering: "This is far worse than my bed, it is a pity that I knew to take it with me before I escaped!" ”
Fred heard it all, he just smiled, he knew that what the Governor said was angry, and he would not pursue anything, he hurriedly ordered the coachman, urging him to hurry on the road.
The coachman whistled skillfully, presumably the only "language" that the old horse could understand, and lo and behold, there was no need for the coachman to wave the whip in his hand, and the old horse had already begun to pull the cart forward.
"Hopefully, we'll be able to get to our destination without any problems."
Fred came to the side of the two of us, smiled at them, and soon trotted up to catch up with the carriage in front of us.
Bagunda's army apparently was aiming to attack Agripana, so they didn't see any scouts or patrolling soldiers along the way. The road always felt very familiar, until I passed a wooded field with a pile of bones, and I immediately understood this path, this is not the place I came ten days ago, and where I met Fred.
"We tried to get out here." Fred pointed to the bones on the ground, (The nearby wolves must have eaten the corpse cleanly, otherwise it would not have been possible for this to corrupt so many bones.) With a solemn face, he continued: "But there are so many slaves in Bagoda that they form a wall of people, like a great net that cannot be broken. There are too few of us to tear a hole in that net, no matter how well equipped we are. ”
"So, you've failed?" I asked him, and I could see that he was a little unhappy at this time, and he must have been haunted by that failure.
"So, the hurt on the Doge's face...... "I'm still curious about Arecio, after all, he really has a face that would make even young girls jealous, and such a look will inevitably make his master cherish it extraordinarily."
"No, the wound on the Governor's face, hmm......" Fred hesitated, it seemed that he was still a little difficult to say about my question, and it must be something difficult to say.
"It's thanks to Aetius!" At this time, it was no longer Fred who answered me, but Arecio, who was lazily lying in the carriage. "That's right, it's your marshal, the big red man Aetius next to Queen Regent Platitia!" Arecio spoke, his voice changing slightly, revealing resentment and anger towards Aetius.
No, could it be that our Generalissimo Aetius would also be jealous of this peerless face? I secretly thought in my heart, could it be that they still have other origins, they are also nobles named Flavis, and they are in the same room, so His Majesty the Emperor himself is not allowed to be here.
"If possible." I plucked up my courage and looked up at Arecio lying on his side, a sheepskin covering his chest to shield him from the stained blood. It was the ears that heard me calling him, and he slowly opened his eyes, staring at me intently with his blue eyes. It was as if listening very carefully to my next question: "I can see why you hurt your face because of Aetius, after all, this is really a very unacceptable loss." ”
After saying this, I was a little overwhelmed, my heart was beating wildly, it's over, it's over, it's over, did I say something wrong, I knew that such a beauty would be extremely interested in her appearance, even higher than his life. I lowered my head, not daring to look into Arecio's eyes, for fear that he would be angry at my rudeness. Will it poke his sore spot, such a nobleman who has lost his beauty, and he has gone to such a remote area, no matter how strong his character is, he will secretly cry. Thinking of this, I have a good answer to his behavior of not lighting the fire in the hall of the Governor's Palace, and staying in that bed all day long. No, no, no, that's not the main question right now, oh, what's going on in my head!
Probably seeing a slight discomfort in my expression, Arecio, who is well versed in the world, must be able to read my entanglements and guilt.
He let out a long sigh, then pulled the sheepskin blanket on his body, looked at me, and said slowly: "Such a long road, just walking without saying a word, is really boring, well, want to hear my story?" ”
"Your story!"
I looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, never expecting him to be angry, it was really good!
I looked at Arecio with a smile, and he also looked at me and nodded his head, and said, "So, let's get started, from the day I started......"
