After the 'body' was taken away at the end of the season, Quintas went to Maximus and informed Maximus of the death of old Caesar. ? ?
Hearing such news, Maximus had no expression on his face, but he was shocked and angry in his heart. After following the other party to the king's tent, he checked on the dead Caesar and confirmed that the other party had been murdered. After a brief thought, The suspect was identified, Commodus.
So, when Commodus, the patricide, asked him to swear allegiance to him, he simply rejected him and rushed back to his camp. Just when he put on his armor, he decided to let this parricide beast When he paid the due price, Quintas followed his footsteps and came to his tent.
Looking at Quintus, who was fully armed, Maximus, who was instructing his servants to get his weapons, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Why are you fully armed?".
"You've already guessed it, haven't you?" Quintas responded and shouted softly: "Prætorian Guards!".
With a soft shout, several guardsmen rushed in and held down the unarmed Maximus.
Maximus glanced at Quintus coldly, shook his head slightly at the servant Sislo who wanted to rush out, and blinked his eyelids quickly.
Quintus, who noticed the little movements of the master and the servant and didn't even notice a single slave, said with a sinister aura: "Do you want your servant to go to Ji Mo? There's no need to waste your efforts. , he is already dead, and he is waiting for you on the road to hell now!".
Maximus's body trembled, his heart felt cold, and with astonishing anger in his eyes as he was sad, he shouted: "It's you!".
"Don't blame me, it's Caesar's order! Who told him not to agree to allegiance and seek death?" Quintus opened his mouth and ordered to the guards: "According to Caesar's order, ride west and be executed before dawn. he!".
"Quintas! Look at me!" Maximus roared softly. After the other party turned his head, he said with deep expectation: "Promise me to take good care of my family!".
Quintas raised his eyelids and said without any warmth: "Don't worry, your family will get together with you!".
Suddenly, Maximus roared like an angry lion, but as soon as he moved, several guards held him down.
"Take him away!" Quintas ordered and left first.
…
Under the silver moonlight, three fast horses were running quickly.
After silently counting six hundred times in his mind, Ji Mo grabbed the hilt of the sword on his chest with his hands hanging down. He let out a shuddering sound of flesh and blood tearing, and when the wound was bleeding again, he lifted the dagger in his hand. He took it out of his hand, turned over, and sat on the horse under the horrified eyes of the two guards.
He stretched out his hand, and the dagger in his hand directly passed through the head of a guard who was standing side by side with him. Just when the other guard had just drawn his sword, he jumped up slightly and landed on the ground to be killed by him. On the horseback of the Imperial Guard, the dagger in his hand came out and pierced the heart of another Imperial Guard.
After reining in the horse and letting the other two horses continue to move forward, Ji Mo pushed down the body in front of him and turned over to dismount.
"Quintas should still be waiting for the two of them to return to life. From the time they took my body away to the time they returned, plus the time to burn my body, it will take forty minutes to an hour. If this time passes, Being insidious and cautious, he will most likely send someone to look for it!”
Glancing at his chest, which was injured due to drawing the sword, the pale Ji Mo coughed slightly, pressed the bleeding wound, tied the horse up, and sat down.
"Such a wound would take about three hours based on my own self-healing ability, but after taking a pill, it only takes less than an hour to heal!"
"However, ten minutes have passed since I left. There is not enough time for me to wait for all my wounds to recover. Therefore, I will rush back after twenty minutes to allow the wounds to recover to the point where it does not affect my movements too much!"
After making up his mind, Ji Mo waited silently.
Twenty minutes later, after the wound had recovered to the point where he could no longer exercise strenuously, but it did not affect his journey, Ji Mo got up, got on his horse, and galloped away.
On his way back, he received a new system task.
"The third phase of the mission: Reunite with Maximus!".
Less than ten minutes later, because he was unsure about the current situation, Ji Mo got off his horse a hundred meters away from the military camp. Then like a shadow, he sneaked into the military camp and headed toward Maximus' tent. go.
Maximus's camp was still bright, Ji Mo sneaked in silently, and then looked at the empty bed, feeling a bad premonition in his heart.
"Lord Jimo!" Sislo, who had been praying for his master, stood up from Maximus's prayer platform, screamed in disbelief, and then reacted and hurriedly pressed his mouth.
"Where is your master?" Ji Mo took two steps and asked quietly.
"Lord Ji Mo, the traitor Quintus said that you were killed! But what is going on now?"
"Besides, where is your master!?"
Hearing this, Sislo hurriedly said: "Master, he was caught by Quintus and will execute him before dawn! Only you can save him now, Lord Ji Mo!".
"Do you know the direction?" Ji Mo asked calmly.
Sislo, who heard Quintus' words word for word, said without hesitation: "He said to let the Praetorian Guards take the master to the west!".
"Going west? I understand!" Ji Mo responded before turning around and leaving.
But at this moment, Sislo pulled Ji Mo and said, "Wait a moment, Mr. Ji Mo!".
After the words fell, Sislo hurriedly found a palm-sized leather bag, put the wooden figures representing Maximus's wife and children on the prayer platform into Ji Mo's hands, and said: "If the master is saved, , leave this to him!”.
"Okay!" Ji Mo nodded and held it in his hand.
"I'll give this to you, Lord Ji Mo!" As he said this, Sislo took out a small piece of leather, opened it and said, "This is the map that the master drew by himself after leaving his hometown, starting from his home. , if you fail to save the master, please go to your hometown and try your best to save his wife, Quintas said that he will not let go of the master's family!"
Ji Mo nodded, reached out to take it, then turned and left.
He came to the horse outside his military camp. On the road to the west of the military camp, he took a closer look under the moonlight. After discovering a series of new horse hoof prints, Ji Mo chased after him on horseback.
