Law of the Devil

Finally, after finishing the dressing, Princess Louise felt that her heart was beating so fast that she was about to suffocate, so she quickly took two steps back, bowed her head, and did not dare to say anything.

After a while, Hussein whispered: "...Thank you."

The princess trembled in her heart, but she heard Hussein whisper again: "Remember, this is already the third thank you I said to you after waking up, Your Highness."

Princess Louise's face changed slightly: "You, you call me Your Highness? Do you know who I am?"

At this moment, the princess suddenly remembered what Delly said to herself in the carriage when she was just arrested: These people definitely don't look like ordinary horse thieves!

Thinking of this, Louise became nervous again, and she took two steps back: "Who the hell are you?"

Seeing that Hussein didn't answer, Louise suddenly turned around and wanted to run, but after only two steps, she felt a tightness in her body and a pain in the back of her calf and knee, and she sat down on the ground immediately.

Hussein sighed, threw away the two remaining stones in his hand, looked at the tired Princess Louise, and smiled wryly: "I'm sorry, Your Highness."

Louise felt so wronged in her heart, she turned her head and looked at Hussein: "You, you are not a horse thief! You are not a horse thief! I am stupid... I should have thought that you would not show up sooner or later, but you came to ambush It must be heading towards me! Also... I heard that the territory of the Desa province has long been wiped out by the Duke of Tulip. How could there be horse thieves! Not to mention. You... a holy rank powerhouse. How is it possible Bow down and be a horse thief! Tell me. Who are you!"

Hussein didn't answer. His face was serious. But he supported himself to sit up, and casually climbed up a tree next to him, and broke off two branches that were as thick as an arm, and tried to find that the length was just right. Hold it in your hand as a crutch. Staggering to the side of the princess, he said in a deep voice, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. I can't answer your question right now. However, I promise I won't hurt you. Now, please come with me."

Louise was terrified. Tears fell drop by drop. Looking up at Hussein: "You... can you let me go? I will definitely not say it... If you want to be paid, after returning to the imperial capital. No matter what you ask, my brother can satisfy you .Besides, you are still a strong man of the holy rank. My brother is now vigorously rectifying the imperial army. There is an urgent need for talents. With your ability, he will definitely use you...Can you let me go back?"

She begged loudly. With pathos. Let the paladins listen. I can't help but soften my heart. But then he suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said seriously: "Your Highness, I said that I will not hurt you. This is not a lie. I have no malice towards you, on the contrary, the guy who chased us down last night , is really coming for you! I think he probably wants to kill you. So, I can't let you go now! You have to follow me, and only by following me can I protect you!"

Although his voice was indifferent, it was involuntary. His tone softened a bit. After hearing this, Princess Louise stared blankly at Hussein's face. She could tell that this man must be extremely proud by nature—a man with such a proud temper usually disdains to lie.

Thinking of this, the princess's heart calmed down a little. But he asked again: "Then...you can at least tell me your name!"

The paladin hesitated for a while, and finally dropped a short sentence in a low voice: "Hussein!"

"Hussein?" The princess was stunned for a moment, and said involuntarily: "Yi, you also have this name? Once upon a time in the temple of the imperial capital, there was a genius knight who was recognized as the number one knight in the mainland. His name was Hussein." Because, it's a pity that later he... ah!!"

Said half. The princess finally came to her senses suddenly, and after exclaiming, she stared at the man in front of her in surprise. He covered his mouth with one hand, and pointed at the paladin with the other hand!

"You're right, I'm that Hussein." Hussein's face was indifferent, and when he talked about the past of the temple, this was a secret pain in his heart.

"Yes, yes, but..."

"Hmph, what is it!" Hussein felt a little irritable when the sad thing was mentioned, and his tone became stiff.

"But..." The princess's voice was very soft, but she heard her whisper: "But, I don't think you seem to be a bad person. Why, you want to betray the temple, why are they chasing and killing you?"

Hussein froze.

"I... am I not a bad person?"

The princess hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said seriously: "When the winged man was about to kill me, I saw you blocked the shot with your back! Moreover, you thanked me. A truly vicious I don’t know how to say thank you to someone. I don’t understand... Knight Hussein, why does the temple want to hunt down good people?”

"Because the temple itself is not a good person." Hussein said coldly, and the next sentence made the princess exclaim again: "The guy with wings last night was sent by the temple to kill you! And those The enemies I fought with my subordinates were all holy knights in the temple!"

"Ah!!" After the princess exclaimed, she shook her body: "Impossible! The temple..."

"You have too many questions." Hussein looked around impatiently.

The forest was still very quiet. After taking a breath, Hussein recognized the direction: "Let's go east."

"East?" Princess Louise's eyes lit up.

"That's right." Hussein nodded, frowned and said, "Although I barely escaped in the end, that guy will definitely not let me go easily. We are not too far away now. I am worried that he will Come after me! However, he will definitely think that I am running west..."

That's right! That angel sphinx will definitely believe that Hussein will flee westward, towards the city of Loulan.

But. Hussein knows his body. Go to Loulan City from here. distance is too far. I'm only afraid of using my own body. If you can't escape far, you will be caught by the opponent.

so. Hussein hugged the princess last night, and after running a little distance, he immediately arranged

..|

That angel must have never imagined that he would do this!

and. All the way to the east, then. It's not too far from the border of Desa Province. In order to deal with the Northwest Army. The Tulip family set up two military fortresses on the eastern border of the Desa province.

One of them is the military fortress that annihilated the tens of thousands of infantry of the Northwest Army brought by Gu Huaduoluo! .

and. That place is far from where I am now. Not too far. It is much shorter than going back to Loulan City from here.

That military fortress is now also stationed with many families' troops. If you can escape there successfully. That's safe!

Although in front of the holy rank powerhouse. Ordinary soldiers are unstoppable. But after all, if the temple wants to assassinate the princess. Never dare to act aboveboard. Unless they are determined to openly break with the royal family! The opponent is hindered by his identity. As long as he returns to the large army of the Tulip family. That's safe! !

Hussein's idea is undoubtedly correct. It was well planned.

but. When he said to the east. Princess Louise was stunned, as if she had guessed something vaguely.

But Hussein looked indifferent. The whole person is like a cold rock. Although the princess has doubts in her heart. But he didn't dare to ask.

"Let's go." Hussein pointed to the east: "I'm sorry, Your Highness. Now we are alone. There is no means of transportation. If there is a populated place ahead, I will find a way to find you a horse."

talking. Hussein threw the princess a cane made of a branch, and then took the lead. Go east to the woodland. Princess Louise at the back hesitated for a moment. Finally he sighed helplessly. Also followed.

\u0026#

Just dozens of miles away from where Hussein and the princess left.

On the edge of the woods where the battle was fought last night. Du Wei stood there quietly. His face was gloomy. Looking at the surrounding battlefield...

On the ground, many corpses lay dead in disorder. Looking at the clothes, Du Wei immediately recognized it. Many of them are Longbottom's subordinates. And Hussein's subordinates! !

Damn it!

Du Wei looked at the corpses of those family fighters on the ground, and when the corpses fell to death. Still maintaining a fighting posture. There were bloodstains that had solidified and turned black everywhere on the ground! One can imagine what a brutal fight they endured here last night!

But. Let Duvic go to another place, the corpse on the ground. I saw the soldiers of my own family, but not a single corpse of the enemy was left behind!

Du Wei immediately affirmed one point: the other party must have taken all the corpses away! Such an approach. Definitely in order not to leave any evidence behind! !

.

Around the woodland. Large areas of trees have been broken. The ground is still full of pits and cracks one by one! Obviously, there have been fierce battles before the masters here!

That large piece of broken trunk. Obviously it was caused by the impact air wave caused by the collision of the fighting spirit of the strong.

Du Wei quickly searched the battlefield, hoping to find clues.

finally. His patience paid off. On the edge of a broken tree trunk, he saw a shoe!

This is a typical court-style lady's small leather boot, with a noble and elegant shape. It is made of the finest leather, and two precious pearls are inlaid on the ankle.

Du Wei picked it up and took a look. Recognized immediately, this definitely belongs to Princess Louise!

Afterwards, Du Wei saw traces on the ground...

"Hmm. The traces of horseshoes. It seems that a large group of people have gone west. The traces of horseshoes are very messy, and they should be fleeing... I think Longbottom and Hussein led people to escape... Then I will come along the way, for sure Was in a hurry to fly, and they missed."

Du Wei thought of this. But he frowned even tighter!

But what about the boots? The most troublesome thing is, how did this princess come to the battlefield! And lost a boot?

It is impossible to judge whether the princess escaped with Longbottom's men?

Finally, Du Wei walked west along the woods for a while. I saw a line of footprints on the ground.

The footprints are deep and shallow, and they look very messy! Obviously it was when a master was injured and escaped. Unable to control his body, resulting in different shades of footprints!

Du Wei immediately made up his mind and followed the trail.

However, after a while. The footprints suddenly disappeared!

Du Wei thought for a while. Eyes lit up!

That's right! This footprint must be Hussain's land!

Because, obviously this is an injured master! If it is an injured enemy, then the opponent must run east if they want to escape. Impossible to go west! Because to the west is his base camp, Loulan City!

Since he ran west, he must be from his side!

This is Du Wei's first judgment.

But... why did the footprints disappear here?

Could it be that he was overtaken by the enemy? killed? Captured?

After thinking for a while, Du Wei suddenly thumped his head hard, and blamed himself: "Why am I so stupid! This place is so far away from Loulan City, if Hussein was injured. He was hunted down by the temple so much. Experience, the experience of fleeing is naturally very rich! He must know that he will not be able to travel long distances back to Loulan City with his injured appearance! He will definitely be caught up halfway! So instead of going west, it is better to escape to the border in the east Where is the military fortress!"

Having figured out this section, Du Wei no longer hesitated, and immediately sneered twice, his body was like a gust of wind, and he went east...
