Chapter 187: Goodbye, Run
The surprise on the faces of the soldiers was unconcealed, and the soldiers at the head widened their eyes and took the sword I handed with trembling hands.
1 Livy was the captain of Aetius's guard, and his status and status were naturally not comparable to those of casual soldiers. The dignity of status naturally has to be displayed in all aspects of life, and this sword is richly decorated, which cannot be defiled by rain and soil.
"This thing!" The face of the soldier at the head looked so surprised and incredulous, he held his hands in his hands, took two steps back, and let the soldiers behind him light it with torches. His trembling hands rubbed the hilt of the sword, stained with dirt and rain, over and over again, as if he had been found a treasure. Erase the dirt from it, revealing a silver sword adorned with precious stones.
I had this sword before, and when I saw it clearly, I couldn't help but think of the one that Levi had given me, but it was melted by the fire that burned on the banks of the Rhine.
"This is not a weapon that ordinary people can get!" The soldier at the head held Levi's sword and looked at Andrew and me with a serious face, "I want to know where this came from right now." ”
"As I said, it's the honorable Captain Li Weiwei." I said, getting out of the way so they could see the drunken unconscious Levi again. They're starting to falter, and I'm going to take this opportunity to add fuel to the fire. "Do you know his soldiers? Murderous and bloodthirsty barbarian, absolute loyalty to him and Aetius! To those who offend them—" I pointed to the soldiers,
"So, why is he here?"
"Presumptuous!"
I puffed up my chest, as if I had regained the momentum I had just lost. It was their indecision right now that made me think of ways I could coerce them.
"You can recognize this sword just because it is stained with a little mud, can it be said that this high captain of the guard will not be recognized after being beaten by a little wind and rain?" I asked them, "Are you really so blind now?" Do you even have to take care of a high-ranking guard captain who comes out in the night for a pastime, do you say that you don't regret it until Captain Li Weiwei wakes up and slashes his sword in half for you? ”
I said it one by one, and they were stunned for a moment, and their wide-eyed eyes were constantly feeding me the same information: whether this was true or false.
"Come on, I don't ask for your trust!" With a wave of my hand, I turned my back and turned my back, hesitated for a moment, and asked them in a very deep voice, "Did you just come?" ”
"Hmm!"
The soldiers nodded, then fell silent, apparently realizing the gravity of the matter.
"Then it is understandable that you do not know Captain Leviwei, after all, he has been fighting abroad for a long time, and has just conquered the Burgundians with Marshal Aetius. It's understandable to come back and take a break, and besides, you can work in this city with a salary and not starve to death, and that's also his credit, why, even such a small pastime, do you dare to say that it is not allowed? ”
"But..."
"Stop!" I didn't give them any chance to speak, "I know you want to ask us what our identities are, to tell you the truth, I am the retinue of Captain Levi's guard, my name is Odin, you also see, the respected captain of the guard is drunk, so let the two of us come here for recreation, if you spoil his nature, alas...... Ask for more blessings. ”
They were really blinded by my words, and the five of them looked at me with five pairs of eyes, and then at Levi, who was still snoring, with a look full of jealousy. They are soft-spoken, and do not dare to make decisions on their own initiative. If they offend a senior official because of this, it is a felony of killing their heads, and they must be careful and careful.
"Since we are the captain of the guard, then the entertainment of the pastime is indispensable, and we have no right to interfere." The soldier at the head of the group turned around and discussed with them a few words, as if he had finally come to a good conclusion, "Since the captain of the guard wants to have fun, then we have nothing to say, sorry to bother!" ”
This time it was neat, and the soldier at the head withdrew from the small room with the four soldiers with torches, without even taking the sword with him, leaving the four of us behind.
Holy, that's too fast!
Their speed made me not come back to my senses for a while, but after so many routines, I immediately felt that things might not be so simple, maybe it was intuition, and my intuition told me that these people would not give up. I hurriedly beckoned Andrew to help Levi back to the bed, took Levi's wallet, turned to Anai and said, "You clean up, let's go!" ”
"Let's go?" Anai looked at me with a flushed face, as if she hadn't recovered from what had just happened. "Where are you going?"
"Get out of here and go to a relatively safe place." As I spoke, I went over and picked up the iron sword that had been carefully placed by the soldiers, and went to the window, opened it, and looked around, and it was pitch black outside, and there was no suspicious movement.
"Luga."
Andrew came running and asked me, "What about this Levi?" Throw it here? ”
"Hmm!" I nodded, and Andrew immediately understood, without any delay.
I helped Anai hastily pack up some clothes and bread, and I was surprised that Anai didn't say anything in the process, not even asking me what my motives were, just buried himself in packing up, and then followed me on the road. I wanted to ask her if such a move was not suspicious? But when the words came to my lips, I didn't say them after all.
Levi was still snoring, as if he didn't know anything about it. I extinguished the oil lamp in the house beforehand, took Anai and Andrew, opened the door, and secretly walked out of the dark and muddy street under the cover of night.
Well, I'll admit that I miscalculated again this time, because it was curfew, and Ludinand's gates couldn't be opened, and he couldn't risk climbing the wall full of guards to get out of the wall, and it wasn't realistic to take Anai with him.
Back to the hotel? The boss looked like he was in league with Levi, and God knows if he would secretly report to the official when he went back. Unable to do so, he led Anai to an abandoned house near the Ludinan Gate.
The ground was full of standing water, and I finally found a relatively dry place under the eaves. The space here is cramped, and there is a lot of gravel and wood chips, because it has been abandoned for a long time. I cleaned up a bit, and then squeezed into the small space with Andrew Ana.
The heavy rain had long since stopped, and the sky overhead was now full of stars, and the gloomy dark clouds were gone, making it rare to see good weather. But I didn't have time to appreciate it from exhaustion, and just as Anai and Andrew were also Hacher, and the three of us huddled together and fell asleep in a short time.
