Chapter 1631 Family Unity

This family cell has not been used for a long time. Zhao Hu is relatively lenient with the farmers in his territory, and will not lock up ordinary prisoners here. The local magistrate is responsible for handling them. Captured enemies are locked in the dungeon of the castle.

The assassin still wanted to bow in the same posture during the day, curled up like a hunchbacked shrimp, and when he saw someone coming in for interrogation, he yelled excitedly, "My lord, I am Li Suo from East Luxi Village, and I am here for pilgrimage. Why lock me up here, I'm just an ordinary farmer."

"Ordinary farmers! Why does an ordinary farmer have marks left by armor on his shoulder blades, waist and legs for years of friction? A farmer will attack the artifact. If you refuse to tell me, I will tell everyone outside about your blasphemy. , I think they will skin you alive, or nail you to a wooden donkey frame, and make you howl for three days and three nights before you die!"

Zhao Hu looked at the pale "Assassin" with a cold face. His indifferent tone seemed to lower the temperature of the entire cell. The small stones he was playing with made the Assassin's face extremely ugly. That was the Assassin. The water chestnut stone still facing porcelain

"Or maybe we made a mistake, you may really be just a pious ordinary farmer, we should let you go." Zhao Hu's words changed, and there was hope in his tone, which made the assassin nod excitedly.
Suddenly Zhao Hu's tone paused, taking advantage of the assassin's slackened will when he saw hope, he increased the strength of his speech, and secretly mobilized the sense of energy in his body. The voice was directly and deeply imprinted in the assassin's mind, like a bomb that exploded suddenly.

"Do you know why you can't stretch your body? Because this is God's punishment for blasphemers! If you still don't tell me, I believe you have been curled up in pain all your life, just like a poor bug! Your allegiance Your master will not care about you as a useless and crippled monster. Your subordinates will take everything from you! Your lover and your territory will belong to others. Even if you die, your soul will also belong to you. Be burned to ashes by the raging flames of hell! God will let you be tortured in darkness forever!"

Reminiscent of all the weird imaginations he encountered in front of the artifact and the tragic state in the future, the assassin, who had almost collapsed, could no longer bear it, and said in a miserable voice with obvious crying, "No, you can't do this, I am a knight, you You can't hand over a proud knight to those pariahs outside for execution, I say, I say everything."

"I've left it to you guys here. It's really boring. I thought I'd encountered a hard bone, but I didn't expect it to be such a frightening thing. I'm so disappointed!"

Zhao Hu looked at the messy assassin curled up and crying on the ground with little interest, stood up and patted the moldy smell on the cell wall stained on his body with his hands, his face was full of regret, and he moved his fat buttocks. Twist out of the cell door.

Starn, who was following Zhao Hu, looked at his lord with a pale face. Was it really just to scare him?Starn knew too well about his eccentric master.

Just now when I told my lord the news that the assassin refused to confess, the extremely excited expression on the lord's face left a deep impression on Starn.

Along the way, there are more than a dozen kinds of "torture" that burst out from the mouth of his excited lord, most of which meant to be tested on the assassin.

"Speak, noble knight, if you don't want my master to deal with you as he said, telling the truth is your only way to survive! You should be very grateful for your timidity, otherwise I don't know if you will A soul has slipped from my master's grasp!"

Starn bent over in the presiding judge's seat and said.

"My lord, the assassin has already confessed. I didn't expect that the bastard Lord Zhao Hui from the north of the family sent to make trouble. Zhao Hui ordered him to enter the castle with the pilgrims and take the opportunity to destroy the divine artifact bestowed on the family by the heavens in order to spread rumors." Those who slander the Lord are spurned by the gods!"

Not long after Zhao Hu returned to his bedroom, Adjutant Starn excitedly knocked on the door of his bedroom. It seems that the interrogation process went smoothly.

Zhao Hu took the record from Starn, flipped through it casually, and put the report on the low table beside the bed in the bedroom, which surprised the excited Starn.

"It's nothing surprising. The northern Zhao Hui family and Zhao Ming family that split off from the family have been looking for opportunities to invade our territory. The hunter leader Mengda who just returned to the team told me the day before yesterday that these two restless families Yuedu has recruited a large number of soldiers in its own territory. It is said that [-] soldiers and a squadron of knights have been assembled. When the family army goes to the north to serve in the army for His Majesty the Emperor, they will seize the most fertile Pinghu in the territory from us. town area.

"It turns out that my lord has already known the origin of the assassin, what should we do now, the deadline stipulated by His Majesty's call-up order is not long, even if we send troops to attack Zhao Hui's Zhao Ming, the time limit may not be enough. "

Starn looked at his lord worriedly. Starn, who had always devoted himself to training soldiers outside the castle, did not expect that the family had fallen into such a dangerous situation.

This time the emperor's call-up order was only issued to the patriarchs of the various families. For the Falcon family that has declined, its lord has already lost the power to order other branches. A rare opportunity for branches to compete for the patriarch of the family.

"So, let's kill chickens and monkeys! You immediately mobilize all the troops gathered outside the castle. I want to take back the Zhao Ming family's Harbin city. I want to let these lifeless family offshoots know that the emperor has not yet agreed to their noble independence. Before applying, I was still the patriarch! If you want to be a stable lord, please be honest with me!"

Zhao Hu raised his head with a gloomy expression. The stars were twinkling in the black sky outside the castle, and the mountains in the distance were lurking in the dark like dark behemoths under the night.

The assassination incident this time made Zhao Hu feel very angry. Zhao Hu has never taken it seriously when the side branches of the family peeped at him, but this time the side branches of the two families openly recruited large-scale troops against him. When I came back from the northern front line, the patriarch of the family may have changed. It seems that such a blatant call-up of the army really regarded myself as a "fool"!

"But my lord, if we openly attack the territory of the offshoot of the family, we are afraid that we will be punished by other forces morally!" Starn reminded his lord worriedly.

According to the imperial decree, as long as a branch of a family has its own territory, it is also within the scope of the nobility. It is also illegal for the main family to attack its own branch without authorization. Even if it occupies the territory of a branch family, it will not be officially recognized by the empire, so Many main families adopt the method of supporting puppets to control the branch families.

"This confession is the reason for us to send troops! Those who attack the lord's side will be punished by the lord no matter what the law is!" Seeing his lord showing the interrogation record on the bedside, Starn said It suddenly dawned on me that my lord had already planned it for a long time!

"Yes, my lord, I believe that the family army will definitely defeat all enemies under the leadership of my lord! Let the Falcon's battle flag fly proudly in the ranks of the first-class families in the empire again."

With an excited expression on his face, Starn bowed respectfully to his lord and performed a chivalrous salute. His sparkling eyes were burning with the desire to fight, and he turned and disappeared into the night in the castle corridor.

The long queue of winding torches is like a giant dragon marching on a winding mountain path, and the light leather armor worn by the soldiers passes through the gaps in the leaves of the mountains, making a rustling sound.

"My lord, good news. The hunter team in front reported that there are only 150 soldiers and [-] knights from the Zhao Ming family stationed in Hacheng. Zhao Ming, the patriarch of the Zhao Ming family, led the [-] guards of the family two days ago The Zhao Hui family's castle, this is really good luck brought to us by the gods."

Starn rode back from the front of the team with a joyful expression. This time, including the family's own guards, Zhao Hu brought out a huge army of 400 people and assembled overnight to attack Zhao Ming's family's Harbin city. , such a huge queue made Starn very excited.

Most of the hunters in charge of the vanguard are hunters who hunt for a living in the nearby mountainous area. They are very familiar with the complex environment of the mountainous area. Therefore, under the cover of darkness, 400 people bypassed the Zhao Ming family through a hidden mountain road to set up At the checkpoint on the border, people unknowingly entered the hinterland of the Zhao Ming family's territory, and the overnight raid had already touched the outskirts of Harbin City.

In the dark night, the lights in the beautiful city of Harbin twinkle like stars. Harbin, where the Zhao Ming family is located, is the closest city to the castle of the Falcon family. It was one of the three most prosperous commercial towns before the Falcon family split. one.

Hacheng's real name is Kasha Town and Feishui Town and Pinghu Town directly under the jurisdiction of Zhao Hu. They are also known as the three pearls in Falcon's mouth, and they have always belonged to the territory directly under the leadership of the patriarch.

A year ago, the Zhao Ming family near Hacheng took advantage of the opportunity that the new patriarch was an idiot and his army was disbanded, so they forcibly sent knights to Kasha Town to announce the management of Kasha Town, and renamed Kasha Town to Hacheng as an opportunity. The family's new home.

"boom!"

A huge ball of fire shot from the black darkness in the distance to the tightly closed wooden gate of Harbin.
