Chapter 1368 Two-Person Trip (Part 2)

"...No matter where you want to go or what you plan to do, I actually don't care."

As Barrister spoke, he raised his hands, which were still tied with hemp rope.

"I only care about when you let me go."

"With my sword, I am no match for you with my bare hands, so I have given up and will no longer have any ill intentions towards your property."

"And besides the sword on your waist and the armor on your body, you don't seem to have anything else valuable."

"So I won't bother you anymore. Just let me go and I'll leave immediately and won't come back to trouble you again. How about that?"

"what are you talking about?"

Luo Xie, who was lying on his side on the ground, cast a doubtful look at Barrister.

"Didn't I just say everything? Now it's time to rest and sleep. We have to go on the road tomorrow."

"You must come with me to Tuli."

"Huh? Why?!"

Barrister growled.

"Stop joking! I'm not going to Tuli!"

"I want to go home!"

"If you plan to complete your mission, just go on your own!"

"I'm not interested in your mission at all, which sounds great!"

"I just want to go home!"

Luo Xie listened quietly to Barrister's roar.

After Barrister finished speaking, the corners of Luo Xie's mouth raised slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.

"...You are my prisoner now, right?"

"Since you are a prisoner - how I deal with you is all my freedom, right?"

After hearing what Luo Xie said, Barrister was speechless for a moment.

"As long as you follow me to Tuli, I will let you go when you arrive in Tuli."

"Not only will I release you, but I will also give you a sum of money and help you buy a carriage to help you get home."

"You have no right to refuse. Just follow me obediently."

"...Can you tell me, what is your purpose in dragging me to Tuli?"

"Just add some insurance to yourself."

"Insurance?"

"I'm the only one left now. If I had any chance, I wouldn't be able to spread the news that Orleans is still holding on to Touli."

“So I keep as many people as possible company.”

"If I have any emergency, my companions can take over my mission and continue to Touri to deliver the news that 'Orléans is still holding on' to the Central Committee."

Hearing this, Barrister understood what Luo Xie meant.

"That is to say - you want me to be your companion and follow you to Tuli. When you have no way to go to Tuli, I will take over your mission and continue to Tuli. Is this what you mean? "

"That's right. As expected of someone who has served in the military and heard military orders, his understanding ability is really good."

"Ah!"

Barrister sneered, and then said loudly in an unabashedly mocking tone:

"Don't be stupid! If you die, I will run away immediately! I don't care what your mission is!"

Luo Xie frowned slightly.

"Whether the news that 'Orleans is still holding on' can be sent to the central government - the matter is even related to the survival of this country, so..."

Before Luo Xie finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Barrister:

“The fall of Orleans, the fall of Tully, the fall of this country—I don’t care about any of this nonsense!”

"Anyway, for someone like me who comes from an ordinary peasant background, it doesn't matter whoever rides on our head!"

"Anyway, whether the emperor of the Luolin Empire rides on our heads or the emperor of the Britannia Empire rides on our heads, our lives will not change much!"

"You don't have to farm every day! You have to pay taxes every year!"

"If the emperor of the Britannia Empire comes to rule us, the annual taxes we have to pay will be reduced. On the contrary, I will welcome the emperor of the Britannia Empire to rule us!"

"Don't give me such nonsense! I don't care what happens to this country!"

"I just want to go home now!"

"If you insist on dragging me to Tuli—whatever you want!"

"Anyway, if you die on the way,

I will leave your body and go home immediately! "

After saying that, Barrister seemed not to want to talk to Luo Xie anymore. He turned around and lay down directly on his side on the ground, leaving only Luo Xie's back.

Luo Xie opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But after thinking for a long time, I still couldn't come up with the right words.

He could only sigh softly and lay his head back on the dead wood that served as a pillow.

At the same time, he tightened his grip on the hemp rope in his hand and the long sword in his arms.

The hemp rope in his hand was directly connected to Barrister's hands that were being tightly tied with the hemp rope, preventing Barrister from escaping.

As for the long sword in his arms... there is no need to say what it is used for.

...

...

The next day.

As soon as the sun began to emerge from the horizon, Luo Xie opened his eyes and shook Barrister awake.

After each of them drank a few sips of water, they embarked on their journey to Tuli.

"I said..." Barrister said angrily, "Don't you have anything to eat with you?"

"No. "

Luo Xie said bluntly.

"The little dry food we brought was lost in the battle to break out of the encirclement of the Britannia army."

"That's why I asked you to finish the pheasant last night with a grateful heart."

"Be patient for a while, maybe you can meet an outdoor tavern that specializes in bards and merchants along the way."

Barrister sighed lightly:

"Forget it if there is no food!"

He raised his hands that were still tied tightly with hemp rope.

"But can you help me untie my hands? My hands are tied, not to mention that it is inconvenient to move. My hands are very painful to be tied like this."

Roche's left hand supported the sword on his left waist, and his right hand tightly grasped the hemp rope connecting Barrister's hands.

Like a dog, he led Barrister forward.

"Didn't you tell me last night that once I die, you will immediately escape and go home?"

Roche smiled meaningfully and raised the hemp rope on his right hand.

"In that case, you might just run away if you get a chance, right?"

"So I have to keep a close eye on you."

"If I don't tie your hands like this, and don't 'hold' you all the time, I'll feel very uneasy."

"By the way, don't even think about regaining your freedom through violence."

"My sword is always ready to be unsheathed."

"Even when I sleep, I'll always keep an eye on the surroundings."

"So don't even think you can force your freedom back."

Barrister roared in a helpless and angry tone:

"Got it! Got it!"

"Let's go faster!"

"Hurry to Tuli! That way we can get away from you, you bastard, sooner!"
