[Count of Monte Cristo] Love and hatred

r104

Plum Tess froze for a moment before taking the gun.

"Rogi Vampa is willing to serve you," Vampa said immediately.The robbers under him also expressed their views.

Plum Tess lightly stroked the exquisite pattern engraved on the gun stock, and looked at Vampa and his companions with some surprise.All the robbers looked at her with serious faces instead of the previous hippie smiles.

She finally realized the seriousness of the matter.In fact, her original intention was to ask Vampa not to kill Mera for the time being, but they really wanted to elect her as the leader, not joking.

"Miss, from now on, you will be our new captain." Vampa showed no emotion on his face, "I don't know what to call you yet."

To show her sincerity, Plum Tess also revealed her real name. "But listen to me, I can't be your leader, I just..."

"Miss Maisy Tess, the moment you defeated me, you were already our leader, and they will not listen to me again, unless you ask me to be your vice-captain", Vampa spread his hands , interrupted her.

"Of course." Mei Tess frowned slightly, "but I was thinking, can I re-appoint you as the captain?"

"No, this is against the rules of robbers." Vampa smiled sternly, "Have you heard about Gu Gu Mi Tuo?"

Plum Tess shook her head blankly.

"How is it possible? Aren't you a Roman?" Vampa asked in surprise.After all, Mei Tess spoke very pure Italian, and he hadn't thought of this possibility before.

"I only came to Rome five years ago," Maisie Tess explained.

"Then you are really ignorant," Vampa said with some pride, "Ancient Mito once caused a great upheaval in Naples, and he went to Rome a few years ago and became the leader of the local bandits. Few people in this generation have not heard of him. name."

Plum Tess pursed her lips, trying to guess the meaning of Vampa's words.

"The reason why they chose me as the captain," Vampa said proudly, "is precisely because I killed Gu Gu Mi Tuo."

Mei Tess immediately understood that these Roman robbers, like pirates, followed the ancient way that the strongest is king.If she directly gave up the captain's position to Wampa, the bandits under her hand would not obey, unless one day Wampa could regain their hearts with his strength.

"Alright then." Plum Tess stepped forward, trying to make her tone firm, "I am willing to lead you, but you must obey my command."

"If anyone dares to disobey your order, I will beat his brains out with my own hands!" Vampa said in a majestic tone.

Plum Tess shuddered. She glanced at Vampa, wondering whether to be grateful or afraid.But Vampa didn't seem to notice it at all. He folded his arms and continued, "Captain, I would venture to mention that Mai Tess is a beautiful name, but I think our leader needs a better name."

"How about the Robber Queen?" said a voice.Another person immediately said that it was not good and should choose "Bloodthirsty Demon".

As the names of the robbers became more and more outrageous, Mei Tess couldn't help interrupting their discussion, "I will dress up as a man. And Vampa has already made a name in Rome, we continue to use his name." act."

The robbers finally fell silent.Vampa seemed very satisfied with this proposal, after all, Mei Tess agreed to use his name, but he still stared at her suspiciously for a long time, as if he was a little worried about the effect of her dressing up as a man.

Mei Tess dispelled their doubts with practical actions.She remained in a separate chamber for a full hour when Vampa's men retrieved what she wanted from the London Hotel.When she reappeared in front of this group of robbers, all doubts disappeared in an instant. Now she looked like a tall Roman youth, and the faint majesty in her eyebrows and eyes gave her a sense of belonging. The temperament of the leader.

After finishing all this, Mei Tess returned to the city of Rome with a few of her men to find Haidee and the captain.

Haidee had not dared to go back to the hotel all night, and when they found her in the Colosseum, she was hiding in a nun's box, and if she hadn't seen Plum Tess dressed as a man, she would almost have thought It was "those people" who had come to get her.

However, when they arrived at the ruins, the captain was no longer there, and it seemed that Busani had rescued him.Mei Tess had no choice but to order her subordinates to continue searching according to her description.

They returned to San Sebastian's mausoleum together, and Vampa, who stayed behind, keenly noticed the "bracelet" on Haidee's right hand, the exquisite wooden crown.

"Hey, I seem to have carved that thing," Vampa said subconsciously.

"No, it was given to me by Roger," Haidee retorted immediately.

"But I am Roger," Vampa said with a smile, "my name is Roger Vampa."

Haidee stared at Vampa, her eyes flickering, and she said in disbelief, "You are...General Roger?"

Wampa was stunned for a full two seconds before recovering his lost voice, "You are a little princess!"

In this way, the little princess met the boy who gave her the crown.Mei Tess also recalled some things at that time, "Wampa, is Teresa the shepherd girl who was with you back then?"

Vampa nodded and talked about the past.

He and Teresa have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.They grew up together and agreed to marry when Vampa turned 20 and Teresa 19.

But before that day comes, a wrong decision changes their fate.While they were still talking about their plans for the future, there were a few gunshots in the woods, and then a man ran towards them, begging them to hide him.

Vampa could see that he was a robber, but he didn't know that he was the famous Gu Gu Mi Tuo.But at that time, there was a natural sympathy between the Roman ten bandits and the Roman peasants, so Vampa did not hesitate to hide the bandit in a secret cave known only to him and Teresa, and to help him escape. Pass the cavalry.

After the robbers came out of the cave, they took out a bag full of gold and wanted to reward them.Vampa proudly raised her head and dismissed it, but Teresa's eyes showed excitement. She is a vain and beautiful girl, and this bag of gold can buy her many, many beautiful clothes and gorgeous jewelry.

At this time, they had learned the true identity of the robber from the cavalry.Gu Gu Mi Tuo is an old and cunning villain, and Teresa is recognized as the most beautiful girl at the foot of Shaping Mountain. Her eyes made him think that it would be very suitable to ask her to be the wife of the village.

Later, the local Earl of St. Felice held a grand masquerade ball for his daughter Carmela. Vampa asked the steward to allow him and Teresa to attend the ball among the servants of the village. After permission, they wore their best clothes. Came to the dance.

Miss Camilla, the host, wanted to dance an exclusive quadruplet, but lacked a companion, and she picked Theresa from the peasant team, who was holding Vampa's arm.

Under the circumstances, Vampa had to nod in agreement.Then he dances completely absent-mindedly, staring at Teresa and her aristocratic partner in the quadrille.When they talked, although Teresa listened timidly to her partner alone with lowered eyes, from the enthusiastic eyes of the handsome young man, Vampa could see that he was speaking of her praise, he I just felt like there was a fire burning in my heart.

When she returned to Vampa, Teresa also felt a little guilty. Although she had done nothing wrong, she always felt that she was to blame.At this moment Vampa asked her suddenly, "Theresa, what was going on in your mind when you were dancing opposite Mademoiselle Camilla?"

The young girl's nature was very frank, and she replied without thinking, "Oh, I'd give half my life for a dress like Miss Carmela's."

"What did your partner say to you?" asked Vampa anxiously.

"He said it's up to me, as long as I say a word."

"He's right," Vampa pondered for a moment. "Do you really want it as you say?"

Teresa nodded, "Yes, I want it!"

"Well, you'll get it."

Teresa thought Vampa was joking.But that night, the residence of the Earl of Saint-Ferris caught fire, and a whole row of wing rooms was burned down.Fortunately, Miss Camilla was rescued by a brave young man, but unfortunately she did not see his face clearly.

Early the next morning, Vampa brought Teresa to their secret cave, lifted the stone slab covering it, and placed pearl necklaces and diamond hairpins on a wooden table he made himself. On the chair next to him was a set of extremely gorgeous clothes.

With a cheer, Teresa slid into the hole that had become a dressing room.At this time, a passerby happened to be unable to find his way, and Vampa led him for a while.But when Vampa came back, she heard Teresa calling for help.

Immediately he loaded his carbine, and running up a hill, at last saw a man pursuing Beautiful Therese.That person was Gu Gu Mi Tuo, and he took advantage of Wampa's departure to strike, but he didn't expect that Wampa would come back at this time.

There was only a "bang" gunshot, and the robber Gu Gumituo fell to the ground in disbelief, clutching his chest.

After killing the bandit leader, Vampa tore off his clothes and put them on himself.He asked Teresa who was wearing Miss Camilla's gown, "Would you like to share my blessings and difficulties with me?"

"Oh, of course," Teresa said immediately, "this is what we agreed upon."

Vampa nodded in satisfaction, and brought Teresa into a forest, which was the base camp of Gu Gu Mi Tuo.In the presence of the robbers, he announced that he had killed their leader, Cucumido, and set fire to the palace of St. Felice, and got Teresa a wedding dress.Within minutes, he was chosen as their new captain, from farmer to bandit chief.

However, before he and Teresa got married, Countess G appeared.This person is actually Mera, the illegitimate sister of the Duke of Buckingham. After the Duke packaged her as a nobleman, he married her to a local count of Venice.After that, Mera was still active in Italy, scouting for the Duke of Buckingham and her castle on the water.

Because of Teresa's outstanding beauty, Mera fell in love with her at a glance.At that time Teresa's temperament of fondness for jewelry was still unchanged, and Meera easily tricked her into her carriage.It was too late when Teresa realized something was wrong, Satus, who had been hiding in the car, immediately held her down and began to tie her hands and feet.

Vampa, who was nearby, heard her cry for help, and immediately led his men to give chase.Mera realized that she had offended a great person, and pushed Teresa out of the carriage in a panic.

When Vampa jumped down from the horse and took Theresa in his arms, his lover was not breathing.
