The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword
Chapter 49
This strange scene scared pizco back three steps and leaned against the next table.
"Take it easy, it''s a dead man," said the man behind. By this time, he had stepped aside his cloak and lifted its hat. It was an old face. The old man was very tall and exuded the temperament of only those who had been on the battlefield for a long time. Half of his earrings were missing. It was obvious that he had been shot off.
Pizko stood up trembling. He squatted down tentatively and leaned over the noses of the people lying on the ground. He really didn''t have a breath. He was a dead man.
"You, what are you doing bringing the dead in?" pizko was a little afraid. The Tatar woman had repeatedly promised that the rescue action would not endanger pizko, otherwise pizko could refuse, which made pizko promise to help the prisoner escape. But now the two men even brought a dead man in, which was completely beyond pizko''s imagination.
"You don''t have to worry about it. Anyway, we''ll take care of it," said the old man in a commanding tone, as if he were the master here.
"I refuse, I want to quit." pizko became more and more frightened, and he began to retreat.
The old man was unmoved and just looked at pizko with a sneer. When the Tatar woman saw the change of pizko''s attitude, she was afraid that pizko would really repent. She looked at the old man with worry. Then she stepped forward and said to pizko, "come and have a look. This dead man is our plan, and we will guarantee everything."
Then she turned over the body of the dead man on the ground.
The man, who had fallen to the ground with his face down, was turned over, and the face pale with loss of blood suddenly appeared in front of pizko.
It was a face very similar to Catherine''s. The same face, the same blonde hair, even the nose and mouth are somewhat similar.
"Do you want to use this body to remove the bag?"
Pizko was not a fool. He soon understood these people''s plans. Li daitaojiang, a plot that only appears in drama and blind old artists'' playing and singing, now actually appears in front of him. Pizko thought it was magical.
"You''re not stupid," said the old man, not knowing whether to praise or ridicule when he saw that pizko understood so quickly.
"But why don''t you get a living man in?"
Pizko didn''t realize how stupid he had asked. In this treacherous world, how many people, even loved ones and friends, are willing to exchange their lives for those of others?
The old man was no longer ready to answer pizko''s question. He pointed to the body on the ground and ordered, "you go in behind him."
With that, the old man strode towards the dungeon.
Pizko dared not disobey the old man''s orders. Fortunately, he often saw dead people in the dungeon, so after carrying the body, he soon got used to it except that he felt sick at first.
So the old man walked in front, pizko walked in the middle with the body on his back, and the Tatar woman walked last. After a while, the three stood in front of Catherine''s prison door.
"Open the door."
Pizko put down the body, took the key from his pocket and opened the door.
"Mr. Catherine." the Tatar woman was the first to go in.
"Nahan, where''s your miss?" Catherine called out the Tatar woman''s name and asked about Miss Helena. These days, it was this woman named nahan who came in to pass the news pretending to be a prisoner''s relative.
"Miss Helena is still locked up by the master. He will be sent to the monastery soon. Miss hope you will go back to England after you escape. Forget her and don''t come back again." nahan said sadly.
"No, I''m going with her. She can''t go to the monastery, even if it''s God''s will. She goes back to England with me, back together."
On hearing that Helena was going to be sent by her father to be a nun, Catherine immediately turned pale, and he shouted in an awkward manner.
"Boy, if you want everyone in the prison to notice you, shout." at this time, the old man also came in.
"Who are you?" asked Catherine.
"This is..." nahan wanted to tell the identity of the old man, but he was stopped by the old man.
"My master is Miss Helena and your friend. You just need to know that," said the old man.
"I won''t go unless Helena is with me."
"Then you stay. But I want to tell you. If you give up this opportunity, we won''t take care of it in the future. I want to tell you that even if you rot in the dungeon, Miss Helena will go to the monastery."
Catherine was silent.
When Catherine stopped talking, the old man knew that he had acquiesced to the fact. So the old man turned and dragged the body outside the door in.
"Who is this?" asked Catherine.
"This is you." the old man turned over the body''s face.
Catherine looked at the corpse''s face carefully, and even he had to admit that he was indeed very similar to himself.
"How''s it going?" the old man asked.
"You can still tell by looking closely."
"Then give him another facelift."
With that, the old man grabbed the body''s face and slammed it into the wall of the dungeon. After a few, the body''s face became bloody.
As a result, no one can tell the man''s appearance.
"Tomorrow, when your head asks, you''ll say that Catherine went crazy and killed herself by hitting the wall," the old man said to pizko.
"OK, OK." seeing the old man''s means, pizko lost his last courage. He quickly agreed.
Now, nahan took off the body''s clothes and put them on Catherine, and then put Catherine''s prison clothes on the body. When everything was right, the three got out of the prison door, and pizko quickly locked the prison door.
So when he came, there were three living and one dead, but when he left, there were four living.
When the four returned to the duty room, the old man said to Catherine, "stand on my instep and tie the rope around my waist."
At this time, pizko found that the shoes on the old man''s feet were modified and had something like a pedal on them. Obviously, that''s how the body came in.
Catherine Yiyan stood up and tied the tape. The old man put on his cloak. The size of the cloak seemed to be prepared for giants. The two people were as straight as a giant inside.
"Mr. Catherine, you''re my nephew now. We came to see Tada. You''ve got gigantism since you were a child." nahan introduced Catherine to the fabricated identity.
Catherine kept them in mind.
Nahan turned to pizko again. She took out a small leather bag and threw it to him.
"Pitzko, we appreciate your contribution to the rescue of Mr. Catherine. This is an extra reward for you. We hope you keep it a secret, which is good for us and you."
Pizko lost his lost bag, estimated how many Taylor were in it, and nodded with satisfaction. Of course he knows what "all right" means.
After the three made a final check to make sure everything was safe, pizko opened the inner door.
"God bless."
As nahan and the old man walked outside, pizko silently said. He is praying for peace for them and for himself.
Fortunately, the guard of the outer gate did not embarrass them. They just talked a few words and were released.
