Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 672
The stench of corpses mixed with the smell of blood wafted in the night wind.

The crows flap their wings in twos and threes in search of new bait. Their dark feathers are mottled silvery white by the moonlight. The breeze guides them, and the game and even the smell of wild animals.

In the dark of the forest there is a bonfire that flickers on and off.

Sitting around the bonfire was a group of heavily armed people wearing black two-haired cloaks.

"It was impossible at first, but I didn't expect Prince Ruby to find someone who wanted to fight with me. At that time, I was still wondering who was so reckless. After I inquired, I found out that it was that damned woman." Siles Teaga gnawed on the barbecued wild game in his mouth, and whispered.

"What?" The person on the side whispered.

It seems to be admiring the opponent's overreach.

With a sacred gesture, Celeste Agha said solemnly: "The next person who will fight with me is the Queen's Nightmare, the double body of the Crown Prince of Great Qin, and Rui He from the Phoenix Heavenly Sacred Dynasty who has fallen from the sky. Princess Rou, the insidious and cunning beautiful woman is the source of disaster for the country and the people, none of them can be left behind, she must die! Those bull-nosed members of the Holy Church preside over the gambling games of the Hansha Kingdom, and they shouldn’t be kept, they all have to die..."

When he spoke, his face looked very holy under the bonfire, as if their gathering, gathered around the bonfire, was just discussing how to purify the devil.

at the same time.

In the military camp outside the city of Cold Sand King.

The aroma of barbecue filled the tent, and the tent was crowded with more than a dozen or twenty people.

A lieutenant is roasting meat in the middle with beets and beans, and drizzled honey on the side.

Next to it are melons, pomegranates and some unnamed wild fruits.

Lamb loins were turned over the crackling campfire, dripping with fat and smelling from the roast.

The two lieutenants stood aside and polished their long swords with oilstones.

The rubbing sound of the stone and metal was very harsh, but it made everyone in the camp feel a strange sense of security.

"Really, that Celeste Aga is betting his life with me. I have a lot of money, but he actually said he wants my life. Huh~ I just gambled, it was just for fun, just to pass the time Who would care about this kind of country bumpkin who has neither the elegance of the 'town' nor the toughness of the 'border', and has a strong rural flavor?" The man in armor on the main seat shouted loudly, smelling the barbecue The taste is mouth watering.

Among the lieutenants, someone said: "But my lord, that gamble was presided over by the bishop of the Holy See..."

The general on the throne said angrily: "I don't care about bishops, who do they think I am? I'm Li Yuangen, the general of Hansha Kingdom, want my life? Don't think about it!"

"...My lord." The man wanted to say something but couldn't say it after all.

"Last time in the game, it was thanks to you that I escaped." Li Yuangen said solemnly: "Don't worry, I'll be fine with you here. You are all veterans of martial arts. What kind of shit bishop, come here Come on, I want to make him look good!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up and solemnly said to the people below: "Please, soldiers, raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for one hour. I have raised you for such a long time just for today."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was eager to express their opinions: "Yes, general, the last general will definitely go all out!"

While speaking, someone from outside came to report, saying: "General, the bishop is here."

Li Yuangen stood up abruptly, and asked anxiously, "What? How many people are there?"

The messenger recalled for a moment, and said, "Just one person, an old man... It seems that he didn't bring any weapons."

"Alone? Or an old man? Well, let him in!" Li Yuangen seemed relieved, and he sat back on his seat with peace of mind.

Not only he breathed a sigh of relief, but everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

Not long after, a soldier brought in an old man in red.

The old man was all red, and he was holding an old Bible in his hand.

As if coming to church, it doesn't look like anything special.

If such a weak old man came to collect gambling debts, one would really wonder if he could finish his sentence.

This person is Bishop Xun Zan who presided over the gambling game between Nan Surou and Princess Honglu.

Li Yuangen stared at this benevolent looking old man, his vigilance dropped again, he said cheerfully: "Here you are, hello, old man, I had a lot of fun with the gambling game a few days ago, I really thank you..."

"..." Bishop Xun Zan was silent. He walked staggeringly as if he was too old to see the road, and walked a few steps in the tent.

Li Yuangen only thought that the old man was just nervous and afraid of urgency, he continued to smile and said: "If there is still such a game in the future, I will definitely play with you again. May I ask why you are here today?"

"..." Bishop Xun Zan continued to remain silent.

The lieutenants around all showed a murderous aura.

However, the expression on Bishop Xun Zan's face did not change at all, he remained calm all the time.

Li Yuangen tried his best to pull out an arrogant smile, and said: "Haha, you don't think that the thing I bet on my life at that time was true, did you? I am a general of the Hansha Kingdom. I have a high position and authority. How could I really bet with you?" Fate? If you don’t understand such a simple and easy-to-understand principle, you might as well die.”

However, after Bishop Xun Zan walked around, he stared at the fragrant barbecue in the middle and exclaimed, "Barbecue...the eating habits in the army are really rough and unrestrained."

Hearing Bishop Xun Zan's irrational response, Li Yuangen was inexplicably elated.

Li Yuangen thought to himself, this old man probably thinks that it is impossible for him to collect the gambling debt, so he wants to ask for a bribe, right?

"Huh? It turns out that you, Bishop, just passed by here hungry. Come here, eat meat and drink in a big bowl. I'll fill it up for you." Li Yuangen smiled cunningly, and was about to pour wine for Bishop Xun Zan.

Bishop Xun Zan waved his hand very kindly and said, "I'm working, so I can't drink this wine, but looking at this fat and juicy roast chicken, it's too bad not to eat two bites."

Hearing the word "work", Li Yuangen immediately understood that although Bishop Xun Zan was an old man, he was indeed here to ask for debts.

Then Li Yuangen won't be able to see him.

Li Yuangen sneered: "Eat, eat, eat to your heart's content, this is the last lunch of your life."

Bishop Xun Zan also unceremoniously grabbed the barbecue and put it in his mouth. While eating, he said with a smile: "Hehe, today I am not a bishop, oh~ this barbecue is really delicious, it is soft to the bite. Juicy meat, with rich gravy oozing out of it, this craft is really good. Hansha Kingdom rarely experiences wars. The so-called army is only established to maintain order in the casino. It has been idle for such a long time. What he is good at is not fighting on the battlefield, but eating, drinking and having fun..."
