Chapter 184: Yiguan
“Are you teaching me how to do things?”
The bald boss stood up from his chair, walked over, raised his hand and slapped Gaozi hard in the face.
With a bang, Gao zi fell directly to the ground.
“When did I need a piece of shit to tell me what to do?”
“I dare not, sir, I don’t mean that.”
Gao Zi covered his slapped face with his hands, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, then crawled up again. A trace of blood could be seen flowing from the corner of his mouth.
This shows how hard the slap was just now.
Seeing this, the dwarf couldn’t help but shrink his head, fearing that the bald boss would slap him in the face.
However, the bald boss did not hit the dwarf, but went back and sat down.
“Someone come here.”
The door opened and a strong man walked in.
“Boss, what are your instructions?”
“Quickly gather a group of people to search for the whereabouts of that birdwoman and make sure to capture her.”
Then, the bald boss raised his hand and pointed at the two people kneeling on the ground and said,
“Take these two losers with you.”
Although he really wanted to kill those two losers, the bald boss knew very well that without them to identify the direction, finding the her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
“Yes.”
The man responded quickly, then turned to look at the two men and urged.
“You two, come here quickly.”
“Thank you, thank you, boss.”
Having barely managed to save their lives, the two men quickly expressed their gratitude to the bald boss, then stood up and followed the man at the door away.
After the people left, the bald boss still felt angry and angrily pounded the table next to him.
The birdwoman was accidentally discovered and captured on Gorge Island. She was originally going to be transported to the capital and sold at a high price to the new king White for his enjoyment.
It is common knowledge that White is fond of women. He accepts all beautiful women, whether they are human or female sub-humans.
If he came across a rare and beautiful female sub-human, he would not hesitate to spend a large sum of money to buy her.
That birdwoman is a sub-human race that has never been seen before. Not only does her appearance conform to human aesthetics, she is also very beautiful. She will definitely be able to be sold at a good price.
In order to sell her for the highest possible price, they also planned to save the first time for White.
To this end, the birdwomman could only be tamed through whipping and other methods.
Unexpectedly, she was extremely tenacious and refused to surrender even when she was almost whipped to death.
There is no other choice but to transport the birdwoman here first.
Since the second princess in the southern border is currently at war with White, the route of transporting the goods directly to the capital via the mouth of the Weishui River is relatively risky.
To be on the safe side, they chose a relatively safe route.
It is first transported north to Laifeng Port, then sent to Dongsheng Fortress by land to be transferred to water transport, and finally transported to the royal capital.
As a result, the birdwoman managed to break free from the cage and escape on the way to Dongsheng Fortress, and the opportunity to make a fortune was lost.
The bald boss became more and more angry. She escaped in the area he was responsible for, so he had to take the responsibility. His superiors would definitely blame him.
“It’s all the fault of those two losers. If I didn’t need them to find that birdwoman, I would have killed them both.”
Just then, there was a loud commotion outside.
“Who are you? Please show me your permit if you want to enter Yi Pavilion!”
“We are here under the orders of our Lord to conduct a thorough investigation of this place. Anyone who dares to interfere will be shot on the spot, depending on the circumstances.”
“Lord? Even if he comes in person, he must show proof of permission! If you dare to force your way in, you must first consult the weapon in my hand.”
Bang!
“What’s going on?”
The bald boss was shocked.
He immediately stood up and walked to the window, secretly checking the situation outside. He found that one of the two guards guarding the gate was dead and the other had surrendered. A group of people wearing uniform leather armor and holding short sticks forced their way into Yiguan.
Of course the bald boss recognized those people. They were the soldiers under the command of Marquis Eisen, who had been in the limelight recently.
Marquis Eisen led his army to defeat Duke Eddie’s army head-on, occupied the lord’s castle, and announced to the outside world that Dongsheng Fortress had become his.
However, the bald boss couldn’t understand why Marquis Eisen wanted to attack Yiguan. He had clearly sent the permission certificate.
If Marquis Eisen wanted to enter Yiguan to buy women, he could just come directly. What’s the point of sending soldiers over?
“Fuck! Kill them!”
Immediately afterwards, a commotion broke out on the first floor as well. The men seemed to pick up their weapons and rushed forward to fight without saying a word, and several loud noises were heard in succession.
Bang bang bang!
Hearing the familiar screams coming from downstairs, the bald boss knew that his men were no match for the opponent and were being unilaterally crushed by the other side.
“If you don’t want to die, put down your weapons and raise your hands.”
A soldier shouted.
What powerful weapons were they using? The bald boss finally understood why Duke Eddie lost to Marquis Eisen.
At first, he thought Duke Eddie was a war idiot and that his blind command of the army led to the disastrous defeat.
How could an army of 2,000 men be defeated by a mere 400? It was simply ridiculous.
It now seems that the military strength of the two sides is not at the same level at all.
“Boss!”
The man who had been called in to search for the birdwoman came running in, his face filled with fear as he said.
“The enemy’s weapons are too powerful. We can’t defeat them at all. They’re almost taking control of the first floor.”
“We can only run away.”
The bald boss made a judgment immediately.
He didn’t want to be caught by the other party, as it would definitely not be a good thing.
Originally, there was a secret escape passage leading to the outside on the first floor of Yiguan, but in the current situation, running to the first floor would undoubtedly be a trap, so they could only escape through the window.
So the bald boss walked out of the room and gave a death order to his men on the second floor, asking them to guard the stairs leading to the second floor and not let the enemy come up.
He himself and a few confidants hurried to the innermost room, where there was a window at the back of the house and a ladder for going up and down.
Normally, this window is locked and can be used for escape in an emergency.
Taking advantage of the last chance for his men to hold back the enemy, the bald boss and several of his confidants climbed out of the window and climbed down to the ground with the help of a ladder.
Marquis Eisen’s sudden attack on Yiguan was also an opportunity, he must escape successfully.
When reporting the matter to his superiors, the bald boss could also put the blame of the birdwoman’s escape on Marquis Eisen to cover up his own mistake.
As he climbed down the ladder, he had already made up his mind.
However, just as the bald boss landed, several soldiers suddenly rushed out and surrounded them.
The soldiers held muskets with fixed bayonets and pointed the tips of the blades at their chests.
“Put your hands up and don’t resist in vain.”
Why are they here? Damn it!
“No, don’t kill me, I surrender.”
At this point, the bald boss and his confidants could only obey the instructions from the other side and raise their hands high.
