A Tale of Strategies For the Throne - 27. Chapter 27

In the early morning, in an inconspicuous house in the city of Wiener, a middle-aged man with a rich body and a big belly has got up.

It is located in a civilian area but close to the wealthy area of the city. Most of the people who live here are wealthy businessmen who have become richer than one or two generations. The nobles looked down upon.

In this flood, this group of people suffered the most. Most of their houses were wiped out, and most of their wealth that was good at first was also lost, and even all of them were wiped out, so that their wealthy lives were all at once. In embarrassment. In addition, the officials of the city of Venar have been ineffective in responding to the flood. Therefore, this group of people, as well as some civilians, chose to leave the city of Venar to seek a living in other nearby cities.

At this moment, half of the house had been washed down by water and there were two rooms that were still intact. The rich middle-aged man gently knocked on the door of one of them.

After a while, with a creak, the door opened, and a blond child appeared at the door, looking up at the man.

The middle-aged man lowered his head slightly, looking a little cautious, and whispered: “His Royal Highness…”

“Call me Garr.”

The child looked at him with a pair of big golden amber eyes, and said.

“Yes, it is.”

The rich man coughed uncomfortably, replied, and then stood up straight.

He said, “Wang…cough, that, Garr, we should set off now.”

This man is not an ordinary civilian. He belongs to a hidden member of the Supervisory Office. He is a hidden line, using the identity of an inconspicuous middle-level wealthy businessman to investigate the things explained above.

This time, the issue of Venal City was also the news that he and a few colleagues tried their best to send out secretly. Most of the news that the people in Xiemur waited for these days to inquire about it came from them.

However, what didn’t make him think that King Camos had actually come in person, and what made him most anxious was that in order to rescue those missing children, his status was as honorable as Prince Gallan and would actually commit a personal risk.

However, despite the panic in his heart, this man must have certain abilities to be favored by the Ombudsman and developed into a downline. When Gallan said that, he coughed, controlled his expression, and then reached out to hold the hand that Gallan stretched towards him, holding his’little nephew’, and carrying two on his back. The burdened servant left.

He looks like one of the very ordinary wealthy businessmen who went bankrupt due to the flood. He took his nephew, and the only two servants and property left, and wanted to leave the flood-stricken city of Vynar and plan to go to another. A city restarts life.

When the man led his’little nephew’ out of this room, a black shadow flashed from the hidden door, and a person appeared at the door, looking through the crack of the door at the back of the child who was going away.

The young man stood there quietly, most of his face hidden in the shadows. Those golden-red eyes are hidden in the shadow behind the door, making people unable to see the look of the young boy watching the leaving child’s eyes at this moment. Only the light from the crack in the door fell on the bridge of his straight nose. , Falling on his thin lips tightened hard, giving people an unusually sharp feeling.

“Prince Huimos, we should go.”

There were other people in the room, and one of them stepped forward and said to Hiemos in a low voice.

“We must reach Ayr before them.”

The town of Ayr is a central town not far from the city of Vänar. It is not very large, but it is quite prosperous because of its location in the main traffic. From Vänar, it takes about half a day to ride a horse. arrive.

Especially during this period of time, thieves frequently appeared on the road from the city of Vänar to other cities, so many bankrupt wealthy businessmen and civilians who planned to leave Vänar city chose to gather in that small town to form a group. After that, the large teams would pool together money to hire the guards in the town or some vagrant rangers to escort them to other cities.

But even so, many small teams were attacked by thieves on their way to other cities from Ayr.

By the time Hiemos was waiting for the people to rush to the outside of Ayr Town, the outside of the town was full of people, almost all of them escaped. At first glance, the temporary tents were densely packed, and many poor people slept in the open air holding a few bundles of straw.

The crowd was very noisy, and when I got closer, I felt that my ears were constantly humming, and I had to talk loudly to the people around me before I could hear it.

They moved a little farther away, found the agreed marked spot, got off their horses behind a big tree, and someone immediately greeted them.

“Where is King Camos?”

Huimos asked.

“Wang went ahead to check, Master Xiemuer arranged the manpower to follow along the road.”

Huimos hummed and stopped talking.

The steed has been led away by his men and tied to the side to feed. The young man folded his hands on his chest, leaned against the big tree behind him, and leaned slightly, putting one pitch black boot on top of the other.

He lowered his head, and his drooping black forehead concealed his drooping eyes, revealing only the half of his face below the tip of his nose. The sun was extremely bright at noon, and specks of light and shadow fell on his dark hair through the dense canopy of trees. As the branches and leaves swayed, the light spots swayed on the handsome face of the lower half of the young man.

Hiemos, who was waiting quietly by the big tree, looked calm and calm, but the force with which his fingers wearing brown-black leather finger cots grasped his arm socket had completely exposed the teenager. An anxious mood at the moment.

After waiting for a while, he looked up at the sky, and suddenly frowned. Although they would come here faster on horseback, it was already this time in the afternoon. It stands to reason that Garlan and the others should have arrived.

It’s not here yet, something is wrong.

While thinking about this, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the road. However, as soon as he looked at it, riots broke out suddenly near the road near the town.

Huimos felt his heart beat violently for some reason, and he ran in that direction quickly. The cavalry who were also waiting nearby looked at each other and chased behind.

The avenue at the gate of Ayre was in a mess at the moment, with some screaming other people’s names, some crying, and some making a hysterical mess. Huimos grabbed a few people and asked them, and finally learned from one person that two or three groups of people who came here from Venal City today had been attacked by thieves on their way.

In the past, thieves would only attack passers-by outside the town of Ayr and far away from the city of Venar, so everyone did not expect that this time the thieves would go deep into the city and attack people who fled. Now the gate is messy. In addition to some people injured by thieves who are rushing to call a doctor, some people who have escaped by chance are still crying about their abducted finances and relatives, and some people are begging for others to save themselves. Relatives and friends.

Throwing away the man in his hand, Huimos rushed in three steps and two steps, his eyes constantly searching among the chaotic crowd.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, he felt a little flustered when he watched Garlan nearly fall from the high platform before his eyes.

At this moment, a wealthy middle-aged man who looked embarrassed struggling to push aside the crowd and stumbled towards Heimos. He looked like he had been running for a long time, the cloth on his head was bleeding marks, and he was panting, his face was sweaty, and his face was panicked.

When Huimos saw that the man was alone, he suddenly felt a bit stunned.

He reached out and grabbed the man who staggered to him, and asked in a low voice.

“Where is Garlan?!”

The man glanced at him in dismay, as if he wanted to kneel down at him, but held it back again.

“Gal…no, the king, the prince…”

His mouth was trembling, and the voice he made was shaking more tremblingly.

“…He… was captured by thieves!”

The boy’s pupils shrank violently for a moment in the violent sunlight.

…………

……………………

Consciousness is dizzy, making people feel extremely heavy. Between half-awake and half-sleep, it seemed that someone was tapping his face gently, and there was a thin voice shouting something that made him unable to continue sleeping.

His face was patted lightly again, the voice became anxious, and his drowsy consciousness vaguely began to wake up, and he could feel a little dazzling light jumping in front of his eyes.

Gallan struggled to open his heavy eyelids, and the world in front of him went from blurry to clear. Someone lowered his head above his head, blocking the slightly dazzling red flame.

“Ah, are you awake?”

It was a childish voice, with surprise, the long linen ponytail hung down, and the tip of his hair fell on his cheek, making him itchy.

As soon as he sat up with his arms supported, he saw the little girl kneeling beside him shouting inside.

“Grandpa! Wake up—this little brother is awake! Come on, come and take a look—”

Garlan, who was sitting on the ground, was still a little confused, and what appeared before his eyes at this moment was an extremely strange place. He felt himself sitting on the cold stone ground, and he could feel a little wet with his fingers on the ground.

He turned his head and looked around. It was a small stone house, dark and damp. Under the faint light of the oil lamp hanging on the wall, countless mottled cracks on the blackened stone wall can be seen, as well as the moss that covers most of the wall.

A rusty iron door stood not far away, arched, and outside was a narrow corridor. The opposite is also an arched rusty iron door. The fire is too weak to see clearly inside, only a few children shrinking in the doorway…

Child!

Garlan’s eyes widened suddenly, and he got up and ran to the iron gate.

He stood by the iron railing, grabbed the rusty iron rod and looked out. Looking around, he could see that there were gloomy stone prisons along the corridor, and many children were locked in.

He finally remembered what happened not long ago. He and the man who pretended to be his elder were on the way to Ayr. There were about thirty or forty people with him. When he was approaching Ayr, suddenly there was a group of people. The rider rushed out.

He saw with his own eyes that the leader slashed those who were trying to resist to the ground. The man around him grabbed his hand in a panic and tried to escape, but was knocked out by a rushing horse, and he was hit by a rushing horse. The man immediately picked it up and fainted.

It seems that he has been taken into captivity by those pseudo-thieves.

Holding the rusty iron, Garlan frowned and thought.

It was a bit bad, the plan was disrupted.

Because those’thieves’ have always only robbed outside the city of Venar, Brother Wang and the others are arranged in the periphery, and now…Damn, I didn’t expect those’thieves’ to enter directly into the city without restraint. Robbed!

“child.”

Just when Gallan was anxious, a hoarse and old voice sounded behind him.

He turned around and saw a skinny old man approaching him with the support of the little girl with flax ponytail just now.

At the same time, he also found that in the stone cell he himself was in, there were four or five children huddled in the shadows.

It was probably Gallan’s dazed look that made the old man misunderstood, thinking that the child was frightened, and looking at Gallan’s eyes full of sympathy and helplessness.

The child looked white and tender, with a soft appearance. At first glance, he knew that he was spoiled and grown up, and he hadn’t suffered much. Now he was suddenly caught by these damn thieves. Maybe his relatives are…

Thinking of this, the old man sighed, but still tried to talk to Garlan in a kind tone.

“Child, don’t be afraid.”

He coaxed the blond child in a low voice. The child looked up at him with his eyes open, a small face as big as a palm wrapped in golden velvet hair. At the moment, he was shocked and stared at his little child. It looks cute and pitiful.

“It’s okay, it’s okay now.”

The old man comforted him.

The little girl next to her took the initiative to hold Garlan’s hand, as if she was also coaxing him.

“Brother, don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

As soon as this little brother was thrown in, she felt that this was the cutest child she had ever met when she grew up.

She originally hated those dirty and bully boys, but when the little boy looked at her, those big eyes were like gems, which immediately made her feel uncomfortable.

She coaxed the scared brother in a low voice.

“Sister is with you, don’t be afraid.”

The cell was too dark, and neither grandfather and grandson saw the corners of the child they were trying to comfort the child twitched.

Ah, I am a child.

A poor frightened child.

After repeating these two sentences to himself several times in his stomach, Gallan felt much better.

“Where is…where?”

After thinking about it, Garlan asked in a low voice.

He spoke very softly, and it sounded like he was scared.

“Why, those people want to arrest me? Are you also arrested?”

The old man sighed, stretched out his dry hand, holding Garlan’s hand, leading him to the depths of the cell, leading him to the corner of the wall with the oil lamp, patted Garlan on the head and let him sit. .

Because the elderly feel that children will no longer be so scared when there is light.

“Child, where are you from?”

Garlan, who sat down, hesitated for a moment, and answered softly.

“My uncle and I live in the city of Wiener. Mom and Dad sent me over and told me to read and write with my uncle.”

He said, “Later, afterwards, there was a lot of water, a lot. Uncle said that he would take me back to my parents. He took me out this morning. Then, I met a lot of people. They arrested me, and then I arrived. Here it is.”

Listening to the child’s stammering remarks, the old man who thought the child was just afraid had no doubt at all, just shook his head and sighed.

“These damn thieves.”

“Brother, we were also caught in. All the children here were caught by the band of thieves.”

The little girl with the ponytail continued, with an angry expression on her face.

“Grandpa and I have been arrested for two days and one night! There are even longer ones, both of which have been arrested for two days!”

She wanted to say something more, suddenly croaking, the iron railing was beaten hard a few times.

“time to eat.”

An impatient voice sounded, and the man hitting the iron railing with an iron rod put a few palm-sized basins in, and then walked to the next cell.

The few children who had been curled up in the shadows all rushed over at this moment, and one of them took a small basin, bowed their heads and started to gobble up.

Gallan hadn’t reacted yet. The little girl beside him rushed over like a tiger descending a mountain with a terrifying aura. He picked up two small pots and ran back. When the little girl ran back, Gallan was still stunned.

“Here you, brother, eat.”

Handing one of the small pots to Garlan, the little girl took the one left in her hand and looked at the old man with a bad face.

“Grandpa…” she said angry and sad again, “they didn’t prepare your share.”

The old man sighed and touched her head.

The little girl stopped talking, and sensibly shared the little food with the old man slowly.

In the two days after being arrested, those people would give them regular rations of food for these children, but they never gave her grandfather, as if they didn’t care about her grandfather’s life or death.

In the past two days, she shared her share with her grandfather, but the portion was originally small, and now she has to share it with two people. She is already too hungry.

This little bit now is not enough for her to fill up her stomach, and eating it is the same as if she didn’t eat it.

When she finished eating, she saw that the little brother was still holding the small basin, and the smell of the food inside made her swallow a mouthful of water, with an urge to grab it.

But she resisted, swallowing to persuade the other party to eat quickly.

“Eat, brother, only two meals a day. If you don’t eat, you will be hungry by noon tomorrow. You should eat as soon as possible.”

Holding the bowl in my hand, it looks like gruel, but it has a vaguely rotten taste, and there is pitch-black food that I don’t know what weeds are. I look at the one who persuades myself to eat, while staring at the gruel in my hand and drooling. Little girl, Garlan was a little bit dumbfounded.

Ah, I can’t eat it.

He thought so, looking at the greedy look of the girl and the skinny old man, he reached out and passed the bowl of porridge.

“For you to eat.”

“No, no, I can’t eat my brother’s food.”

The little girl swallowed and shook her head vigorously, and the ponytail was thrown into flight by her.

“I ate a lot with my uncle not long ago, and now I’m not hungry at all. Give it to you.”

“Really? Can I really eat—”

“Well, let’s eat with Grandpa.”

The blond child said, with a smile that was so cute to the little girl.

“Thank you, brother.”

After receiving the bowl that Garlan handed over, the little girl was so grateful that she suddenly leaned in and gave Garlan a hard kiss on the cheek.

“Sister will repay you!”

She said, “You give me this bowl of porridge today. When we are all out, I will support you for a lifetime!”

After she finished saying that, and then even if Garlan was stunned by her kiss, she ran to find her grandfather with the food in a hurry.

Gallan: “???”

A look dumbfounded.

and many more.

I always feel that this section is so familiar.
