Gudmundel stretched out his two fingers and gently pushed away the hidden sword on his neck. The person who sneaked into Suchen's room was the spy leader Iron Bone Bjorn.
"I didn't expect you to be such a vigilant person." Gudmundel said meaningfully to Su Chen, completely without the embarrassment of being caught.
"After all, you have warned me that Hrolf's men will cause trouble for me." Su Chen put away the hidden sword quietly and said to Gudmundle calmly.
"You're right. In fact, I got the news that Hrov's personal soldiers are coming to take your life soon. It's best to leave here with me now." Gudmundel said to Suchen.
"Where to go?" Suchen asked Gudmundel.
"Go to the temple to take shelter first." Gudmundel said to Suchen. The temple is the territory of Riksgorzy, the subordinate of Bjorn the Iron Bone, and will be protected by him there.
"No, I won't go to the temple." But Su Chen thought about it and refused. His refusal made Gudmundl very surprised. You must know that anyone who knows that Hrov has sent a killer will instinctively choose Accept Bjorn's protection.
"If you don't go to the temple, although Monceau Palace is safe, Bjorn can't always protect you. This will make him criticized by Hrov." Gudmundel frowned, and Iron Bones The relationship between Bjorn and Lord Hrolf is already very delicate. If it is not handled properly, it may lead to a war. This is not what Bjorn wants.
"You misunderstood. I will not stay here. There is no point in staying here. I want to return to East Hamar to win over supporters and seize the rights of the lord." Su Chen stared at Gudmundel and calmed him down. Xu said that the candles in the room had been lit at this time, but under the dim light of this candle, the light on Gudmundel's face appeared to be uncertain, and he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Maybe it's more dangerous there, no, it must be very dangerous." Gudmundel pondered for a moment and then said to Suchen.
"It is impossible to catch the wolf cub without entering the wolf's den. Hrov may not have thought that I would return to East Hamar." Suchen explained to Gudmundel.
Gudmundel stared at Su Chen in front of him. He did not expect that Su Chen would have such courage to return to East Hamar. That was Hrov's territory. If he failed to seize power, what awaited him might be more miserable than death. .
"If you have any other requests, you can make them." Gudmundel said to Suchen.
"Yes, there is something. I hope you can help me prepare it." Su Chen smiled. He also knew that his plan might be crazy, but after experiencing the attack on Gotland, he felt that something in his body seemed Begin to awaken.
"Just the same?" Gudmundel said in disbelief.
"Yes, these two things are enough to shake Hrov's rule." Su Chen said confidently.
At this moment, they almost heard the footsteps coming from the corridor at the same time. Compared with Gudmundel's light steps, these sounds were messy and heavy. They sounded like a group of reckless warriors. Suchen and Gudmundel faced each other. They glanced at each other and walked to the door in a tacit understanding.
"Ping." The door was kicked open by Su Chen and hit the face of the accompanying soldier who was close to the door. Blood spurted out from his nose. The other accompanying soldiers were suddenly attacked in the darkness. When they reacted, there was a flash of cold light, and blood and screams sounded in the narrow corridor in the darkness.
"Oh~~." The last standing warrior had a dagger stuck in his throat. Gudmundel suddenly pulled out the sharp dagger, blood spurted out, and the body slowly slid to the ground.
"The dagger is poisonous." Su Chen wiped the blood on the shoulder of a corpse with his hidden sword. He shook the wooden pipe in his hand and the flames from it lit the torch. He said slowly to Gudmundel.
"This sword is quite good." But Gudmundel smiled. He glanced at Su Chen's hidden sword thoughtfully and said in admiration.
"It's time for us to leave now." Suchen stepped over the body on the ground and said to Gudmundel.
The two left the corridor filled with the smell of blood. The killer sent by Hrov was killed. Then they heard a woman's scream from behind. Tomorrow, people at the Monceau Palace will talk about this attack. Special talk.
"Four horses?" Gudmundel stood in front of the stables. He did not expect that Suchen would ask him to provide four horses.
"Yes, we have to arrive in East Hamar before Hrov. It's too late to go by sea." Suchen licked his dry lips. When he and Gudmundl went to the dock and prepared to leave by boat, They found that Hrov, surrounded by his men, was riding in the longboat heading far away, so they immediately came to the stable.
"That's right." Su Chen turned over and rode on one horse, tying the reins of the other horse behind it.
"Okay, I've got what you want." Gudmundel had no choice but to follow Su Chen's method. When they ran away, Gudmundel said to Suchen.
The two of them ran wildly towards East Hamar. They now had to outrun Hrov and his group on the sea. This was a speed competition.
"My butt is about to bloom." Gudmundel, who is used to walking and running, couldn't help complaining. Riding a horse in film and television works seems to be a very pleasant thing, but in fact the rider has to step on the stirrups and his buttocks It is a distance away from the saddle, so it is almost a test on the rider's waist on a bumpy road without a road.
What's more, the Viking saddle is not a high bridge saddle, but a mat-like thing made of fur. Although it is very soft, it will be very uncomfortable when galloping.
"We must be quick." Su Chen gritted his teeth. He was also very uncomfortable, but at this time, the soldiers were very fast. He had to seize the priority before Hrov returned to Hamar.
"I don't care, but my horse is dying." Gudmundel complained. The brown horses he got off had sweat all over their manes, and sprayed out from the nose of the horse. heat.
"Change horses." Su Chen also noticed that the horse began to lose strength while galloping. He immediately tightened the reins of the horse, jumped off and turned over to ride on the horse he was holding behind. Not consumed yet.
"No wonder you have to bring two horses." Gudmundel suddenly realized at this time, no wonder Su Chen had to bring an extra horse. It turns out that this is the role. For the Vikings who are used to walking and sailing, this kind of Mongolian cavalry The marching method is extremely rare.
They kept exchanging mounts and traveled through the snowy wasteland, hills and forests at very fast speeds with almost no rest. The four horses were panting from exhaustion, and they were almost too tired to hold on. At that moment, Su Chen's body lay on the back of his mount, grabbing a ball of snow from the tree behind him and stuffing it into his mouth to relieve his hunger and thirst.
"Look, the village, East Hamar has arrived." Gudmundel said to Suchen in a hoarse voice, pointing ahead.
"Huh, are we finally here?" Su Chen raised his head and saw the villages and towns of East Hamar. He breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, the legs of the horse he was riding softened, and his two front legs knelt down, pulling Su Chen He was also thrown off his back, but the soft snow on the ground formed a buffer and he was not hurt.
"We don't have time to rest now." Gudmundel rode up to Suchen. He grinned and said to Suchen.
The people of East Hamar didn't know what happened at this time. For them, this was a very normal noon. The men were sitting under the eaves talking to each other, while the women were busy preparing dinner in the lord's kitchen. Even the lord's wife was among the women, kneading a ball of barley dough, while the children piled snowmen in the snow without any care, not caring about their red hands.
"I wonder how Ulf and the others are doing?" Vargas was wrapped in linen. His body had almost recovered, but he still needed to rest for a while, he said to Verside.
"My master has the protection of God Odin. He will be fine." Verside raised his old head, held a bone needle in his rough hands, and sutured the wound on Vargas's shoulder, plainly. said.
"Woo~~." Suddenly, a dull horn sound sounded, which was made by the guard on the sentry tower.
"It seems like someone is approaching here." Some vigilant people had already grabbed the axes around them and looked outside the village.
