At about noon, the port of Barbad was crowded with poor people who had heard the news, and the thieves who had been sent to incite the people before mixed in the crowd to spread rumors by adding fuel to the chaos, which made the riot intensified. The army protested loudly.The bodies of the dead thieves had been loaded onto mule carts in batches, but they could not be transported out of the port because the road was blocked by excited crowds.Among the poor in the Eastern District, as long as they are middle-aged men, most of them have done crimes with the thieves, wanting to get more rations for their families, and they are still ordinary people after taking off the thieves' sweater. Many people participated in this attack on the port, so even Some daring women and children surrounded the wagon carrying the corpses looking for their families.Occasionally, the family members of the dead thief recognized the appearance of the corpse, and the scene became more chaotic, with wailing and cursing everywhere, and the usually bustling and bustling trading port was filled with gloom and mist.

At this moment, a group of Wang Jun from the outskirts of the port escorted a group of thieves Yu Yu.A few sharp-eyed people recognized the leader of the captives and exclaimed, "Qasim! It's Qasim!"

The exclamation caused the surrounding people to look over one after another, and many people immediately recognized that this group of prisoners were all senior cadres of the bandit group, and it was Kasim who walked in the front.The crowd immediately gathered around, and the leader of the army, Wang Jun, reined in his horse and stopped. While urging the soldiers on the outside to resist the crowd, he raised his hand and issued an order. The soldiers carrying boxes in the queue at the back opened the lids of the boxes one by one, and put the fog knives in the boxes. All the metal objects and magic weapons included fell to the ground!

The commotion of the crowd subsided, and the common people watched this scene in amazement.

"Everyone," the leader of the king's army signaled the soldiers to pick up the magic weapons and show the blue military pattern on the inside for the common people to see, "these weapons were seized from the thieves last night. After the king's verification, We are ordered to tell the people the truth. The righteous thieves you are dedicated to protecting are actually traitors instigated and used by other countries." He pointed to Kasim and others behind him.

……

"The magical weapons provided by your country as 'evidence', we will return after the rebels in the port are dismissed. As for the metal objects seized from the bandits, we cannot return them."

"I understand. Let His Majesty Abumado decide."

The herald gave Lamir a slight salute, "I'm going to report back."

After a hasty salute, Lamir turned back to the pier, commanding the sailors who were widening the sampan.Standing on a high place, Xiaodou looked away from the officer's back, and turned to look in the direction of the port not far away.

After Kasim and his group appeared, the crowd that had been raging just now gradually gathered around to the other side. Wang Jun, who was in charge of spreading the message, stepped onto the high platform and was reading the so-called "truth" to the people.

Xiaodou's expression became complicated.With such a butterfly wing, the plot is completely off track.Abmado fully accepted her plan, and as soon as the riots in the port subsided, all the thieves would board and make the ship leave the port.

... what will happen next?

What to do next, she is also a little confused...

When they were in a daze, a small group of people under the high platform seemed to be agitated, desperately trying to get close to Kasim and his party who were surrounded by the king's army.Xiaodou gathered the cloak on her body to cover her head and face, and whispered to the female officer behind her, "Karma, let me go and have a look."

The female official came with the envoy ship and was specially sent by the king to take care of her daily life. It is said that the princess has been serving her personally since she was young, and it was no surprise that she answered in a low voice and followed silently.Along the way, the female officers and soldiers didn't stop her when they saw her going out, and they didn't say much except that a few people were automatically assigned to follow behind her to protect her safety.

In order not to ooc, Xiaodou is still collecting information on character design. She didn’t talk to Karma too much before, and now she has a little bit of magic. Probably the character setting of this princess is also an adventurous type who can’t stay still. figure……

A group of people slowly approached the high platform where Wang Jun gave a speech from the path, and Xiaodou chose a high place where he could hear the people below.As a result, when she looked down, she was stunned—it was Sally Yeh who was leading the charge to the high platform.

Sally Yeh was held tightly by the two kings. Although she stopped struggling, she still screamed with tears all over her face: "Shut up, my brother is not a traitor!! He is here to keep us alive, She died to protect us, to overthrow you nobles who sucked the blood of common people..." As she said this, the Wang Jun who restrained her covered her mouth.

Encouraged by Sally Yeh, many people shouted with red eyes. "Miss Senup, what's going on here? Are these guys lying?!" "Mr. Kasim, you're talking!—"

The cadres of the bandit group standing on the stage wore handcuffs and covered their faces with hoods so that their expressions could not be seen, but some people could still vaguely see their hands trembling slightly due to emotional agitation.

At this moment, Kasim, who had been keeping his head bowed and motionless, suddenly raised his hands and took off his hood.

The crowd fell silent for a moment.

The young man's hands never trembled, his expression was calm and repulsive, his eyes fell on the crowd in a resolute way, and after sweeping half a circle, he said lightly:

"it is true."

The crowd was in an uproar!

As if in agreement, the leader of the king's army yelled and raised his hand to issue an order. The soldiers immediately set up their spears to separate the crowd and led Kasim and his party to the pier.

This time, only a few people who still refused to believe the truth obstructed it, and most of them stayed where they were.

Xiaodou bit her lip, turned her head and motioned silently to the guards and female officers behind her, and the group of people turned around silently and walked back towards the direction of the boat.

……

That is, near dusk, all the captured thieves had boarded the envoy ship and were placed separately on different ships in the fleet.The ship set sail and left the port. Lamir arranged the early core members of the bandit group on the big ship that Xiaodou was on. When Xiaodou boarded the deck, he saw the thieves sitting silently on the deck, surrounded by female guards. Take away the shackles untied from the thieves, or simply treat the wounds for the wounded.

Kasim was standing not far from the two of them, sitting on a pile of wooden barrels with slightly bent legs and looking at the sea, his expression could not be seen clearly in the backlight.Hassan, who was covered in bruises, was talking to Kasim emotionally, "Why did you lie, why did you do that!?"

Sennapu, who was supporting him by the side, grabbed his arm, "Otherwise, is there any other way to save everyone's life?"

Hassan choked, his robust body trembled, and his lips trembled for a moment, "...I know. Of course I know...but it's better to die there at that time...!!"

The big man's eyes dimmed, and he sat unsteadily on the deck, grabbing a cloth towel that blindfolded him. "We are obviously fighting for the poor in this country, and for the hometown we love. Why are we now driven out as traitors...you can see it too? When we boarded the ship, those people watched Our eyes..."

Kasim didn't look back, and lightly lit another cigarette, his voice was a bit vague.

"...So, what do you want to say?"

A leader of the thieves group blushed and murmured, "We haven't launched a war to overthrow the royal family, why should we just admit defeat..."

"I've already lost." Kasim replied in a calm tone. "The battle is not where there are swords and guns. This war began when the poor of Barbard put their hopes in us,"

He turned his head, and the pale golden eyes that melted into the sunset light fell on the thieves opposite, with calm hatred and self-pity on his expression.

"Then not long ago, the negotiation table in Barbad's palace came to an end. This time we have already lost."

Xiaodou froze for a moment, then gently stood behind the hatch.

Fork.Before breaking out of the cocoon, there is always a big abuse and injury. ... Bean God, I can hardly hold the slight pain in my chest...(:3っ)3

Really didn't want to look at the situation on the deck anymore, Xiaodou stepped on the human set and went back to the cabin to sit and sort out his thoughts.After sitting down until dinner time, when she came out, she bumped into Lamir and Kasim who were talking——

"...The port of the small country where the ship is moored does not allow foreigners to stay. If you haven't made up your mind about the next step, let's go back to the capital with us and make plans." Lamir said.

Kasim responded noncommittally, and caught sight of Xiaodou standing behind him.Lamir also turned his head, saw Xiaodou and greeted, "Your Highness."

The last sentence was still a godly assist, and the rhythm of the next sentence took a sharp turn... Xiaodou felt uncomfortable when he was called "Your Highness". Let's go." Then he turned and walked away.

Xiaodou turned her head and met Kasim's emotionless eyes.Before meeting Lamir, Kasim came out to smoke. He didn't leave intentionally, nor did he intend to speak. He glanced at her and leaned back against the railing to puff.

After a long silence, the sparks of the cigarette flickered in the twilight, and Kasim threw the burnt cigarette into the sea, turning around as if wanting to leave.

"..." Xiaodou almost swallowed a sigh, and called him, "Kasim."

Kasim stopped walking naturally, and half turned to look at her.

The setting sun had sunk below the sea level at this time, and the deep blue sky had darkened nicely, and the other party's face was already blurred, so it was not so hard to be unable to know his expression and look at each other.Xiaodou squinted his eyes to recognize the outline of his face under the faint light, "...Are you planning to go back to Barbad in the future?"

In the darkness, she heard his flat answer.

"of course."

"And before that," Xiaodou said with a frown, "draw a line with me first?"

After saying this, the two of them immediately fell into a sharp silence like needle pricks.When Xiaodou came, he had figured out the reaction he should have countless times. Without waiting for Kasim's answer, he took a step, brushed past him, and walked towards the cabin.Just after walking a few steps, footsteps sounded behind him, and his wrist was held in a moment.

Xiaodou paused, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Kasim approaching in the darkness.He held her wrist subtly loosened and tightened for a moment, and pulled her closer;

Then he lowered his head slightly, and his cold lips touched hers.

The icy and piercing sea breeze melted away the sweet tobacco breath on his lips, taking away the warmth of this kiss slowly and bit by bit.

Xiaodou slightly opened his eyes.

Under the night, the small golden characters popped out of his head suddenly, like an extinguished fire, gradually faded and turned gray.
