Chapter 40 Dragon Witch (2)(2/2)
"A very bad thing!" Baron York said in a deep voice, "I even suspect that this matter is related to you, but I have no evidence!"
Mr. Jacques looked at Baron York calmly.
Baron York gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Come here, watch them!"
With that said, Baron York hurriedly commanded a group of cavalry... I wonder if the people sent to chase the carriage have successfully brought the people back?
…
…
Drive!
Bertrand waved the reins, but the horse pulling the cart was not too obedient.
These are not horses that have always been domesticated on the farm... they were captured in the wild and have not been domesticated for a long time. Moreover, the road is not easy to walk at night, and Bertrand does not dare to turn on the light in case he will be discovered. .
But the carriage finally had to stop.
On the road ahead, a large fallen tree appeared. Bertrand had to tighten the reins and make the horse stop hastily. However, the huge inertia still caused the carriage to tilt and almost flip over.
At the same time, three figures suddenly rushed out from around the fallen tree.
They rushed in front of Bertrand at once. Suddenly, Bertrand was knocked off the carriage before he could react in time, and then two of them directly pressed him to the ground.
"Don't struggle, we don't intend to hurt anyone, we just want to take the people in the carriage back!"
“Are you from the Baron?” Bertrand said through gritted teeth.
Then the moonlight fell, Bertrand could vaguely see the cavalry uniforms worn by the three people, and he already had a guess in his mind... He didn't expect that Baron York's men came so fast!
He hasn’t even completely left the confines of the village!
At this time, a cavalryman walked directly to the door of the carriage and said loudly, "Miss Jeanne, please come out. We know that you are on top of the carriage. If you don't want the coachman to be injured, please cooperate with us."
No movement.
The cavalryman had no choice but to shout the same words again... However, there was still no response from the carriage. The cavalryman frowned and said loudly: "Sorry!"
As he said that, the cavalryman drew out his weapon and was cautiously on guard. At the same time, he inserted the weapon into the gap of the car door. Once he exerted force, he immediately pried the car and horse apart.
"what happened?"
After prying open the door, the cavalryman let out a low cry. He saw that the carriage was completely empty. He could see clearly at a glance and there was no way to hide anyone.
The cavalryman couldn't help being furious. He walked directly in front of Bertrand who was pressed down, stretched out his hand and grabbed Bertrand's collar, "Where is the person? Where did you hide the person?"
Bertrand said innocently at this time, "I don't know who you are talking about? I just followed the master's instructions and drove to a nearby town to pick up a friend of my master's as a guest."
"be honest!"
The cavalryman suddenly broke Bertrand's arm, almost breaking it, causing Bertrand to break out in cold sweat from the pain.
“I really don’t know who he is, and it’s useless even if you kill me.” Bertrand gritted his teeth and said with pain.
The cavalry snorted coldly and ordered, "Tie him to a tree. I have many methods to make him speak!"
They would not dare to return without completing the Baron's order... They could only take the next step by extracting information from Bertrand on the spot.
The three cavalrymen worked together and easily tied Bertrand to a tree nearby.
One of the cavalrymen broke off some thorny thorns from nearby, twisted them into a stick, and made a makeshift whip. He smiled grimly and said, "You can save yourself some trouble."
Bertrand gritted his teeth and turned his face away.
The cavalryman sneered and raised the thorn whip in his hand. Just as he was about to swing it down, a stone the size of a fist was suddenly thrown from the dark place and hit the cavalryman on the head instantly.
The cavalryman suffered a bloody head injury.
“There!” The cavalryman who was hit on the head covered his bleeding wound, his heart became ferocious, he raised his weapon and rushed into the darkness instantly.
The other two cavalrymen saw this and hurriedly chased after him.
Bertrand frowned at this time... He didn't know who was helping him. Logically speaking, no one would know that he was taking this route.
But at this moment, Bertrand felt that his hands tied behind the tree trunk seemed to be loosened a little.
“Who?” Bertrand asked in shock and fear.
“Shh, don’t talk...they’ll be back soon.”
"You are..." Bertrand couldn't help but be startled, because he recognized the speaker's voice, "Mr. Azaches? How could you..."
