Chapter 273 Chapter 243 "Hunting"

Du Wei immediately saw the stern-faced young knight behind Lu Gao, who was the guy he saw on the road in the middle of the city when he came yesterday. This young knight was still handsome and heroic, but there was a faint, obviously elegant smile on the corner of his mouth, but it always contained a bit of discomfort that made people feel chills. "No need to introduce, General Lu Gao." Du Wei smiled: "The Major General and I met yesterday. Your Excellency Sebasta, I saw you rushing out of the city yesterday, and I didn't want to come back so soon." The young major general - Sebasta smiled lightly and said: "It's just that the subordinates are neglected and lazy, and they are taken out to exercise their muscles and bones. But I heard that at the banquet yesterday, His Excellency the Duke surprised everyone, even me General Shrek, the number one sharpshooter of the Northwest Army, is willing to bow down. I never imagined that besides being a magician, the Duke is also so good at archery. It seems that you will definitely win the first prize in today's hunting."

Lu Gao smiled, and then he waved his hand: "Bring the 'prey' up!" As soon as the voice fell, a cart was pushed out from behind the tent. On top of the cart was a huge square iron cage. The iron cage was originally covered with cloth vines, but after being lifted by several Northwest Army cavalry, The "prey" inside was exposed. When Du Wei saw it, his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help frowning... ... In fact, when the cage was pushed out just now, Du Wei vaguely heard whimpering and crying from inside.When a few cavalrymen used their lances to pierce the curtain above, Du Wei's guess was confirmed!

Where is the prey in this huge square iron cage!It was clearly a dozen young girls! Judging from the appearance and skin color of these girls, they must be the batch of Nanyang female slaves that Duotuo said he bought.It seems that what happened yesterday with that female assassin of Ai Lu really made these poor female slaves unlucky. Originally, it was said that these dozen or so female slaves were used to reward the generals of the Northwest Army, but they didn't want to end up like this because they were involved in the assassination incident! Several soldiers opened the cage, and under the threat of scimitars and lances, the dozen or so girls were driven out of the cage in a state of panic and panic.Then under the threat of sabers, they lined up and knelt in front of the horses of Du Wei and Lu Gao.

These girls were crying miserably, and what made Du Wei sigh even more was that all the girls were naked, and there were quite a few bloody welts on their youthful and delicate bodies. Many people have suffered. From the age point of view, the oldest female slaves will not be more than eighteen years old, and the youngest even has an immature look on her face, making Du Wei unable to bear to guess their ages.Everyone's face was full of fear and horror, and everyone's eyes were full of misery and sadness, like a group of frightened little rabbits, looking in horror at the weapons full of cold light in the hands of the cavalrymen of the Northwest Army.

"General Lu Gao...this is..." Du Wei asked tentatively. "Hmph." Lu Gao raised his eyebrows, and said calmly: "The origin of the assassin yesterday has not been found out, but it was hidden among these bought female slaves. I don't bother to torture these people one by one, I would rather kill them by mistake. Don't let it go. Instead of trying to identify them one by one, why not all of them..." Speaking of this, Lu Gao's eyes showed a trace of evil spirit. Du Wei sighed secretly, but the expression on his face didn't change. He just closed his mouth and didn't say anything.

But he said in his heart: This Lu Gao is ruthless enough! Looking at these young and beautiful girls, although they are all naked, but at this moment, with the sound of crying, how can Du Wei have the mood to look at their delicate bodies?I couldn't help feeling a little pity in my heart, but after thinking about it for a while, seeing the firm murderous intent in Lu Gao's eyes, I finally didn't open my mouth to do something that wasted my efforts. "Listen up, everyone!" A cavalry officer of the Northwest Army raised his saber high, and after threatening, he shouted loudly, "Listen up, everyone! The general has an order. You comrades of the assassins should have Kill them all! But the general is merciful and merciful to you, and I will spare you a way to survive!"

As he spoke, he galloped to a fire next to the tent, took out a turpentine torch, lit it on the fire, then thrust it into the ground, and shouted loudly: "From now on, you can go as far as you can." Escape in the woods! Before the torch burns out, as long as you can escape from the woods without being caught, you will survive!! So..." Speaking of this, the cavalry officer showed a sinister smile: "Start now, escape with all your strength!" Let’s go! There’s a chance of life, you can only live if you catch it!” After he finished speaking, he made a look, and the cavalry around him went up, raised their sabers, and heard the clanging sound, cutting off all the shackles under the feet of these naked girls.

These girls were probably all stupefied. They stared dumbfounded at the wolves and tigers in front of the Northwest Army, and each of them seemed to be at a loss.There were even people who had a little luck in their hearts, but knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly to Lu Gao and the others until blood came out from their foreheads, and they cried out. After all, Du Wei still felt pity in his heart, sighed, glanced at Lu Gao, gritted his teeth suddenly, pulled out his sword, rode up to the first crying girl, snatched it, and stuck the sword in the ground. In front of her, she intentionally yelled: "Why are you crying! I'm so annoyed by crying! If you really want to live, run away!!"

The girl saw the cold sword's edge sticking to her face on the ground, and then she woke up suddenly, looked up at Du Wei's eyes, suddenly seemed to understand something, suddenly struggled and staggered to stand up, and looked at Du Wei in panic. He ran out into the depths of the woods. Some were the first to run, and some were the second... Soon, more than a dozen girls roughly understood their fate, and rushed towards the depths of the forest.Their delicate bare feet stepped on the hard ground. Many people's feet were scratched by sharp stones, and some people's calves were cut by branches, dripping with blood, but they couldn't care about it at the moment...

Du Wei watched a dozen girls running into the woods, sighed in his heart, and thought to himself: I am afraid that the chances of survival are less than half of the ten percent...but I can't save your lives, so I can only save your lives. It's come to this point. Lu Gao laughed, sat on the horse and raised his hands to cover his brows, looked into the distance for a while, and said with a smile: "Okay! Brothers, get ready to hunt!!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at Du Wei and said with a smile: "Du Wei, you should have played hunting in the imperial capital. However, hunting those beasts...where there are hunters, it's more interesting!"

Speaking of this, Lu Gao was eager to try. He had already taken off the bow from behind, and was about to draw an arrow to hit it, but Du Wei's heart softened. Going out, he was shot to death, and he couldn't help but go up and put his hand on Lu Gao's arm holding the arrow: "General, please wait a moment." Lu Gao frowned, raised his head and looked at Du Wei: "What's wrong?" Du Wei smiled easily, and said lightly: "Since it's hunting, it must be more difficult to be interesting... They haven't run far yet. It will be more interesting when they run farther and hunt down." A cold voice came from the side: "Unexpectedly, His Majesty the Duke is so pitiful." I only saw the major general Sebasta riding his horse towards the front, he couldn't help but take out his bow and arrow suddenly, this time he was far away from Du Wei, Du Wei didn't have time to stop him, he saw the major general raising his bow and arrow, whoosh sound... A spike pierced the sky like a silver light, rushing into the depths of the forest... In the distance, a shrill woman's scream came from the forest. Sebasta put down his bow and arrow, stared at Du Wei, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth under the iron face: "It is indeed more fun to run farther... But, Lord Duke, shoot someone to scare them to death first." , they will run even harder." Seeing the other party's eyes shot at him, Du Wei clearly felt a faint murderous intent.He couldn't help frowning: This major general is a vicious character!It's just... I don't seem to have offended him, so why do I have such a murderous intent towards myself? Behind him, Hussein was riding on the horse, and suddenly snorted coldly, and slowly came to Du Wei's side, with one eye, staring at Sebasta coldly, his eyes slipped all the way from his face to his waist. Sebasta was stared at by Hussein, and suddenly felt a faint sense of oppression. He shook his body and looked at Hussein in surprise. The sneer at the corner of Hussein's mouth was full of indifference. Looking at the sword on Sebasta's waist, judging from the appearance of the scabbard, it was indeed a slender handle, quite similar to "Beauty under the Moon" place.
