With the addition of Kieran and the nearly four thousand people he brought, the team became larger and larger.
Especially when traveling in the valley, it looks like a long snake, looking from head to back as if there is no end in sight.
Because there were too many people, Li Yu did not break up the two groups for the time being. He still let Jilan lead the refugees who joined later to follow him. He just sent a team of guards to help him, and the leader was Qiu
Germany.
Li Yu also gave Kieran a horse because the latter gave the old horse he rented to an old man with inconvenient legs and feet.
As a result, Kieran quickly let the new horse out after returning. He still walked with his legs holding the lyre, and kept walking through the crowd to solve the problems encountered by everyone.
Even the hard-hearted Jude couldn't help but feel a little moved when he saw this scene, thinking that there are indeed people with noble moral character in this world.
The ugly-faced man was sighing in his heart when he saw the Saturday poet walking straight towards him, changing his previous upright and awe-inspiring attitude.
He became a little sneaky, with a sinister look on his face, and kept looking around all the way.
After confirming that no one was paying attention, he quickened his pace, taking three steps and two steps at a time, and arrived in front of Jude.
"I heard that you are the deputy commander of the Black Dog Guards and one of the most trusted people by Lord Prophet." Kieran said.
"Yes, what do you want from me?" Jude frowned.
The bard lowered his voice a little more and said mysteriously, "It's like this. There is something that may threaten the reputation of our church."
"What's the matter? Didn't you tell me when you went to see the Prophet before?"
"There are some things that we subordinates just need to know. There is no need to tell the prophet anymore," Jilan said. "This is also a kind of protection for the prophet."
"What's the meaning?"
Kieran looked around again and continued, "Actually, the reason why that group of robbers followed my advice was why they looted like crazy."
"Um?"
Even though Jude was well-informed, his mind was a little confused for a moment.
But he soon figured out why Kieran did this, and his eyes changed when he looked at the bard, "Are these people... displaced because of you?"
"People are like this. They always tend to maintain their original traditions and are afraid of change. Unless something major happens to push them, they will move forward and welcome a better future." Kieran said plausibly.
Jude snorted coldly upon hearing this, "You made those people lose everything."
"I don't deny it, but this is also the reason why they follow Saturday and the prophet Merlin now. When they look back in a few years, they will be grateful for what happened that day."
"I was almost deceived by your previous performance. You are an out-and-out bastard." Jude said, "It reminds me of myself before I converted to Saturday."
"Ha, is this a criticism or a compliment?"
"No, I'm just stating a fact. I guess you chose to share this dirty little secret with me for a purpose."
Kieran took a deep breath and said, "Yes, as I said before, if this matter spreads, it may have some adverse effects on the weekend holiday."
"They are robbers and no one will believe them."
"Yes, yes, but what will those people think when they hear such rumors?" The bard pursed his lips behind him, "Even if most people don't believe it, even if only a few hundred people are affected, it will still be a problem."
"If you have any suggestions, just tell me." The deputy leader of the Black Dog Guards said bluntly.
"We can solve this possible hidden danger in advance."
"How to do it?"
"I know where the bandits will spend the night."
Jude raised his eyebrows, "Why do you know where they are spending the night tonight?"
"Because they were worried about encountering a battle, before they came to see you, they made an appointment in advance where they would meet after being separated. Moreover, they looted many villages along the way and collected a lot of goods. It is not convenient to carry them all with them.
To take action, we must choose a place to hide..."
"That's not what I'm asking, but why do you know this?" Jude's eyes gradually turned cold as he looked at Kieran, "Maybe you are not a bard at all, but one of them."
"No, I am a genuine bard." Kieran quickly defended, "You can ask about Golden Voice over there in the Golden Valley. Many people have heard my songs. As for why I know where they will go, it is very simple.
.”
The bard did not lie any more, "The bandits were afraid that I would run away halfway, or that Prophet Merlin would not believe what they said, so they arranged for a pair of brothers to mingle among the refugees and watch me.
"According to normal development, once things changed, they would kill me and escape quickly. But I persuaded them to take all the property for themselves.
"It's not accurate to say that. I should say that I discovered that they were particularly greedy for money, so I tried to contact them. I found that they had this idea in mind, so I gave them some ideas.
"That's a lot of money. Especially if it's divided between two people, each person can get more than ten times more. It's worth the risk for anyone."
"For them, the difficulty of the whole thing is how to seize the goods without triggering crazy revenge from other robbers."
"The dead will not take revenge." Jude's eyes flashed.
"That's right." Kieran clapped his palms lightly, "That's the key, and the best thing is that they have been hiding among the refugees and don't know what Hawkeye and I said.
"Our cooperation can help each of us get what we need and get rid of the troubles we have. Now there is only one problem left. You seem to have a little less people on your hands."
"That's quite a few," Jude said. "Twelve people are enough."
"Are you sure? Their manpower is twice that of yours."
"It's just a group of bandits. My men are all the elites of the Black Dog Guards, and I have several holy weapons given by the Lord Prophet. If I can't deal with those guys anymore, I, as the deputy leader of the Black Dog Guards, may as well stop working.
Jude sighed, "Besides, if there are too many people, being noticed by them in advance will cause unnecessary trouble. Just tell me the location."
"Okay." The bard was also unambiguous and immediately told the whole place where the group of robbers met tonight.
Jude was not worried that this would be a trap, because he also had a three-eyed bird on hand. With this strange bird, there was no way to escape any ambush.
Moreover, the captain of the Black Dog Guard also adopted Kieran's suggestion and quietly left the main force with a group of people without alerting Li Yu.
They returned to the team again early the next morning. Except for some residual blood stains on their bodies, they looked no different from when they left.
Moreover, Jude also brought back a small bottle, which contained a hundred pieces of dragon's blood that Li Yu had paid previously.
