    When the guy lamented that the two stewards took so long to fall down, another figure appeared at the door.

    "If you want me to say kill them directly when they come in, it's just that you want to drug them for so many things, and it took so long."

    The new person is a tall man with a beard. This kind of beard is rare in Sathya. The climate of Sathya makes it easy for fleas and lice to grow in their hair, so although they will grow beards,But it's the kind of goatee that only leaves a pinch on the chin, and most of them are fake beards, which are decorated like wigs.

    And the beard of this beard is not only long, it almost covers the entire lower half of his face, making it difficult to see his appearance, but even so, it can be seen from the outline of his eyes and nose that this is a foreign country.The appearance of a person, and it is still the appearance of the Caucasian on Mio's side.

    "What if we make noise to attract other people during the killing? And what if we accidentally stain their clothes? We rely on them to get out of the city."

    The guy replied to his companion, and began to rummage through the things on the two stewards, and soon found what they wanted - two passports produced by the palace.

    The pass issued by the palace is not the same as the ordinary pass in appearance. Now the pass issued by the clerk outside is just a piece of ordinary paper, but the one from the palace has a cover made of thick paper on both sides.There are special lines, and basic identity information such as name, age and position are recorded in the middle. Recently, due to the closure of the city, some appearance records have been added in fear of being used by others. It can be said that the content is very detailed.

    But this detailed content is not what they want.

    The buddy opened and read the contents of the two passes, picked up one of them and shook it in front of his companion: "I can use this, but you can't. It seems that I can only wrong you to be my follower."

    He took the share of the tall steward, which recorded the steward's height and general appearance description. Although he was not like a buddy, in the age when there were no photos, it was not too difficult to pretend to be like the above, andThey were about the same height, and this was a passport issued by the palace. The soldiers guarding the gate didn't dare to look at it too much. The man was very confident that he could deceive them.

    But his companion can't do it, even if he shaves off his beard, he can't match his status.

    "Then I'll use the pass I got before, and they shouldn't check too much with you." He stroked the beard on his chin, his eyes were fierce: "If it wasn't for that guy Claude who leaked the secret, it is impossible for us to fall to this point.”

    The bearded man and the man are Oston, the leader of the bandits who assassinated Lucis, and his cousin Alger, and Alger is not only Oston's cousin, but also his brain trust, and alsoAlthough the existence of military divisions in the bandit group is not among the three leaders, their status is not lower than them.

    Auston and the two deputy captains of the bandit group, George and Claude, accepted the order of King Gebitran together, and brought a small group of soldiers who did not know the inside story to Sathia, and absorbed the local bandits to form this bandit group.The purpose of the bandit group is to wait for an opportunity to destroy the peace of Sathia and to provoke the relationship between countries in the African continent.

    So apart from the soldiers they brought, the remaining members of their bandit group are basically wanted bandits from other countries on the African continent. They absorbed these people and brought them to Sathia.Burning, killing and looting everywhere, doing all kinds of evil.

    It was also Alger's idea to contact multiple missions and ask them to pay for murder. This would not only allow them to gain more benefits, but also get the cooperation of these missions, so that their plan would be implemented more smoothly.They can also use these missions as scapegoats, making Sathya and other countries hate each other, or even fight directly, and Gebitran can take the opportunity to occupy the most fertile delta in the north of Sathia, and use it as a base to continue to attackSathya, strengthen Gebitran.

    But even this military adviser did not expect that those missions would suddenly change their minds because they wanted to negotiate business with Sathya, and they were worried that they would be betrayed by these missions who had changed their minds, so they had to carry out an assassination in advance.

    In this assassination operation, Oston and Claude were respectively in charge of a line to ambush, and George, who was not good at bows and arrows, hid with the rest of the people, waiting to meet them.

    And Alger, as Oston's cousin, naturally followed this cousin, but the road they chose was not the route back to King Sathya, and after receiving the news, they immediatelyReady to meet Claude.

    It's just that on the way they discovered that Sathya's soldiers had surrounded the area where Claude and the others were, and the opponent's number was much larger than them. Alger immediately understood that this was actually King Sathya's conspiracy.Persuading Auston to take the rest of the people to prepare to go out of the city, but failed, so he had to turn around and join George again, waiting for the next news.

    And Claude not only failed to complete the task of assassinating King Sathya, but was also caught dead, and none of them escaped.

    The main members of the bandit group had also anticipated this result, and even discussed how to put all the blame on those missions if they were caught. In short, they must not let the Sathya know their real purpose.

    Originally, according to the plan, after Claude was arrested, he should push everything to those missions, and among the others, even the soldiers they brought didn't know that their real purpose was to assassinate SathyaWang, they all thought that this operation was indeed carried out by a mission that paid them a lot of money, so even if they couldn't survive the punishment after being caught, they would only confess the existence of the bandit group and the mission behind it.

    But now those missions are indeed restrained, but they have never thought that all the strongholds of their bandit group in the capital will be exposed. Otherwise, when those Sathya came to search, the deputy missionLong George and the others would not be caught without exception, and in the end only Alger, who was always cautious, and Auston, who was persuaded by him to leave those strongholds first, remained.

    The current tavern is one of Alger's secret preparations, and it is a hiding place that no one else knows except the two of them.

    After hiding here, Alger shaved off the beard that was used to hide his face, and made some hairstyles and clothing modifications, turning into an inconspicuous guy who was working in the store while inquiring about news, while OuStone has been hiding in the backyard of the tavern because he is too tall and easy to be noticed.

    Fortunately, they kept an eye out and didn't tell anyone else about this place.

    After even George was taken away, Auston and Alger realized that Claude must have rebelled, and told King Sathya all of their disguised identities and strongholds, because they were the only ones who knew all the hiding placesFour, if Claude didn't say it, Sathya couldn't have nearly caught them all, at least George shouldn't have been caught.

    Just don't know if he even told King Sathya their secret from Gebitran.

    But the most important thing now is to leave Sathya first. As long as they can leave smoothly, whether they return to Gebitran to report to the king, or change their identities to continue their activities, are all ways.

    But now that Sathia is under martial law, the fake pass that Alger prepared before can be easily found out, and the two of them alone cannot break through the defense of the city gate guards and escape from the city, so Alger has been in the city for the past few days.Look for those who have passes in the tavern, and they are more similar in size and appearance, and plan to take their passes from these people.

    However, it is easy for him to find a suitable candidate. Alger is not very tall, and he is also thin. Although his skin is a little white, he can disguise himself as a mixed-race Sathya after being painted black, but Oston has a strong physique.It is not easy to find a candidate for a tall appearance.

    They searched for a long time before they found two suitable passes. They found a suitable time to get the passes, and planned to pretend to be them and go out of the city today. Alger just happened to hear two stewards say on the road when he was observing the situation outside.Then, seeing that the tall steward was about the same size as him, he quietly followed.

    Alger followed them all the way, watched them enter the palace, followed them outside, and heard two stewards say they wanted to have a good meal, so he had an idea, rushed back to the tavern in advance, stopped them, warmly invited them, and succeededCaptivate two people.

    When his cousin Oston was angry, Alger was very calm. He put away the two passports, and went to pick up the clothes of the tall manager to give himself: "It's no use talking about it now, hurry up."Go and pack up, we'll leave later."

    It's just that Oston, who knew that Alger had obtained a more suitable identity, saw him urging him, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't it be safer to walk at night?"

    Originally, they wanted to wait until the city gate was about to close before going out. At that time, the guards were also in a hurry to get off work, and they would be a little looser in the interrogation, and they rushed out before closing the city gate.Unless the time is up, it can only be opened with the order of the general or the king. In this way, even if other people find something wrong and want to catch up, it will take a lot of time to open the city gate, and night is the best cover.As long as they are careful not to lose track, they can completely escape follow-up tracking by taking advantage of the night.

    Alger pointed to the two stewards and explained: "These two are the stewards of King Sathya. I listen to them. There will be other people joining them in the near future. If we don't leave now, they will find out that something is wrong later.The passport will no longer work."

    As soon as Auston heard that this was King Sathya's man, his gaze became dangerous, thinking whether to kill these two people to vent his anger.

    Alger knew very well the temperament of his baron cousin. Seeing the murderous intent in his eyes, he quickly stopped him: "Where are you going to hide if someone kills you? The house next door has a hyena, and it smells like a hyena.Get up, someone will definitely come over to check the situation immediately."

    It is obvious to all that Sathya people love to keep pets, especially the rich. From lions, crocodiles, hyenas, to monkeys and geese, there are no animals that they dare not keep. Sometimes they can even see them on the street.Some people are walking around with hyenas and crocodiles wearing hoods, and lions are even more common. After all, they are pets kept by the royal family.

    Next to the tavern, there is a family that raises hyenas. This kind of animal is very sensitive to the smell of blood. If it smells it, the family will find out that something is wrong immediately. Now the city is full of their arrest warrants.With that high bounty, they must be happy to run to inform the patrolling soldiers, and gamble on whether they have hit luck.

    Auston had no choice but to give up the idea of killing people, cursing in his mouth: "I don't know what these Sathyas think, they dare to raise anything, and they are not afraid of being bitten to death by hyenas at night."

    After scolding, he and Alger moved the two comatose stewards to a room in the backyard, tied them up with ropes, and gagged their mouths to ensure that even if the two woke up, they couldn't call for help.Just started to tidy up myself.

    Alston shaved off the conspicuous beard on his face, left a goatee, and asked Alger to help him shave his head, and then applied the prepared foundation on his face—they bought it at a high priceYes, it’s very useful for disguising his appearance—paint the skin under the beard into the same color as the upper half of his face, ask Alger to modify him, and finally change into a guard outfit that he had prepared a long time ago. Now heIt's a guard who escorts the steward.

    After Alger put on the tall manager's clothes, he modified his face a little according to his face. He was proficient in camouflage, and he had more cosmetics than before.At first glance, it looks almost like the tall steward.

    Although the traces of makeup can be vaguely seen on the faces of both of them, it is not only women who wear makeup in this era, and their skills are even more advanced than women. This effect is different in the eyes of other men who do not understand makeup.The paintings are not much different, and others will not doubt them because of this.

    After packing up, they took the prepared luggage, walked out of the tavern, and rode the steward's donkey to the city gate.

    At this time, there is still a long queue of people leaving the city. Now many caravans are leaving the capital after finishing their business. Although there are many waterways, the ports in the capital belong to the royal port, and ordinary small businessmen cannot use them.Go out of the city first and go to the civilian port outside the city to take a boat.

    These caravans still bought a lot of goods in the capital and prepared to take them to the next city to do business. Now that they have cars, they all use ox carts and donkey carts to pull goods. It is more convenient to bring more things than before. This teamJust longer.

    In comparison, the line for the nobles next to them is much shorter, but because those nobles always have a lot of entourage and guards around them, although they don't need to line up very much, it still takes a lot of time to pass the checkpoint.

    Seeing the posture at the gate of the city, Oston, who is a nobleman, was impatient to line up with a group of civilians, turned his head and said to Alger in a low voice: "Your pass should allow the soldiers guarding the gate to let us pass directly? SoThere is a long queue and I don’t know how long it will last.”

    Alger was a little tempted, but he was used to being cautious, and felt that it was too conspicuous to jump in line at this time, so he didn't agree to Auston's proposal, but the line was so long, of course they couldn't just wait.

    In the end, the two discussed it and decided to find a commoner to spend some money to exchange places with them.

    There were soldiers at the gate of the city to maintain order. In order not to attract attention, they did not go to the front. Instead, they chose two civilians who were almost in the middle of the front, and exchanged their positions with a few copper coins.

    The soldiers who maintained the continuation glanced at them, and seeing that there was no commotion, they withdrew their gazes.

    Alger led the donkey and stood in front of Oston, visually observing that they were about twenty people away from the front of the line. With the speed of inspection, it would not take long for them to have their turn.

    They looked ahead and waited for their turn, and the closer they got, the more nervous they felt. Although they had encountered this kind of battle before, they were all disguised as a large caravan at that time, and they brought aThere are a lot of people, even if they are found, they can try to force their way out, but now there are only two of them, even if they want to force their way in, they don't have the ability. If something unexpected happens in the middle, they basically can't escape.

    They were engrossed in staring at the checkpoint ahead, but they didn't notice that there was a special team approaching behind them, and they lined up on top of the noble team next to them.

    Finally it was the turn of Auston and Alger.

    The soldier in charge of the inspection glanced at them, but found nothing, and stretched out his hand: "Pass."

    Alger took out the passport issued by the palace clerk, and explained with a bit of arrogance in his tone: "We are the stewards who have received orders from His Majesty to go to the land outside the city. Quickly look,Don't waste time."

    Alger didn't notice that when he said this, a group of people in the noble line next to him looked towards him.

    His pass was easy to recognize, and the soldiers recognized him immediately, and his attitude changed immediately, but the work that should be done still had to be done.

    The soldier opened the pass and looked at it, and called the name on it: "Aluke is in charge?"

    This is the person Alger is pretending to be, and he nodded reservedly after hearing this: "Yes."

    At the same time, the soldier captain who was in charge of serving the nobles also looked over after hearing the familiar name.

    The soldier captain originally only looked over because of his name, but his eyes widened in surprise when he saw the other person's appearance and the donkey he was leading.

    After the soldier saw Alger's pass, Alger turned around and pointed at Oston behind him, saying, "This is my guard."

    Auston handed over the pass, and the soldier took it, took a casual look to make sure it was genuine, and was about to let them go.

    But he saw his captain come over suddenly, took Alger's pass, and looked at it carefully.

    When Alger and Oston saw this change, their hearts jumped, and they couldn't help touching the weapon.

    After reading the contents of the pass, the soldier captain calmly returned the pass to the soldier and nodded: "There is no problem with the pass, let them pass."

    Seeing this, the soldier handed back the pass. The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and went to get the pass.

    The mutation happened at this time.

    The soldier captain suddenly raised the knife in his hand and slashed at Alger.

    Alger, who hadn't completely relaxed, subconsciously wanted to fight back, but realized that he couldn't do it now, so he could only hide aside before the knife fell, and said with a livid face, "What are you doing?!"

    "What are you doing?" The soldier captain sneered at him holding up his weapon: "Aluke is my friend. I know his appearance very well. Although you look very similar to him, you don't speak or behave like him.Same, and if Aluke sees me, he will definitely come to say hello!"

    Alger and Oston's expressions changed immediately, they didn't expect to meet that tall acquaintance in charge here, and now they were caught in a trap.

    As soon as the soldier captain's explanation came out, the other soldiers reacted and raised their weapons towards them one after another. The other people who lined up to leave the city saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ran away.

    Alger knew that they couldn't get out of this situation at all, so he argued: "I didn't pretend to be someone else, I am Aluke, maybe I have the same name as the Aluke you know, but I am not him, why do youSaid I was impersonating him."

    He said this because he was sure that only their basic information, names, positions, and appearances would be written on the pass, but not their specific information, such as their home address, and the name Aluke was very common in Sathya.name.

    But the soldier captain said: "The name is the same, the appearance is the same, the position is the same, and even the position of the bald hair on the donkey is the same. There are so many coincidences. If you say it is not impersonation, what is it? Say, you put AlukeWhat's wrong?!"

    Alger subconsciously looked at the path he led before. The gray-brown hair was very ordinary, but there was indeed a bald spot on the donkey's neck.

    At this time, another voice also intervened.

    "You said that you were the steward who received an order from His Majesty to go to the land outside the city, so tell me what order you received?"

    Alger turned his gaze over, only to realize that it was an ordinary-looking man in a robe, and behind him was a group of soldiers carrying things.

    Alger became more and more uneasy, and he thought of the group of people who wanted to make peace with the steward.He opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

    The soldier captain also looked at the man: "You are?"

    Taking advantage of the soldiers surrounding them being attracted by the group of people, Oston suddenly jumped up, swiped away the soldiers in front with the knife in his hand, broke through and ran outside, and Alger followed closely behind.

    This time, of course, he didn't call himself.

    The soldier captain immediately shouted loudly: "Stop them!"

    The man who spoke before - the palace envoy sent by Luxis also turned his head and said to the soldiers behind him: "You also go to help."

    Although Oston and Alger escaped from the encirclement, there were still guards and continuous soldiers outside the city gate, so they were surrounded by soldiers again before they ran too far, and they had no choice but to capture them in the end.
