Chapter 204 Illegal assembly?
"What about the others? Why are these people left?"
At an intersection not far from Tianhuo Tower, Helen swept over the dozen people standing in front of her with an ugly expression and asked sternly.
Scott already knew some of the situation, and immediately stood up and explained:
"We didn't expect that the Gossip City will investigate us foreigners so strictly. The rest of them will be temporarily taken to the government to check the information and should be back soon."
"For the time being? Should? Soon?" Helen glanced sideways, her eyes stayed on Scott's face for a second, then turned to another holy wizard in front of her, pointed at the staff in her hand, and said:
"What did you say?"
The Holy Master who was pointed out was also a golden woman. She likes to imitate Helen's style and dress on weekdays. Helen doesn't care, but instead admires her very much.
"We followed your instructions and searched for the players and the elf in the Bagua City. We met the inspectors and soldiers and asked to check our ultimatum. The four of us were worried that something would cause, so we didn't dare to say too much. After showing the ultimatum, we left, but..."
The woman glanced at the two paladins standing behind Scott with a timid look, and continued under Helen's somewhat impatient gaze:
"However, when we were about to leave, Sam and Macaulay and the five Paladins were also nearby. They seemed to be dissatisfied with Panchao. They seemed to have a conflict with the officers and soldiers, and then... were taken away by the officers and soldiers."
"So, you women have been watching the behavior of those savages all the time? They have never planned to come out to explain it to us?"
The knight standing behind Scott said coldly that he was lucky to be let go by the officers and soldiers, but his other three brothers were taken away by the hateful Chinese officers like escorting prisoners.
This is an insult they have never been!
The Paladins in Gaia 6 are a symbol of courage and loyalty, and are also the embodiment of the power given by God. Even if the princes and nobles of various countries see them, they must bow to them politely, sincerely ask them to stay in the palace, and willingly make a high position equivalent to a great minister of a country.
After coming here, these noble knights were insulted by some lowly mortals, and they were helpless against these mortals because of the system's biased protection. Those people were obviously fragile enough to be twisted off by them!
"We, we just want to think about it again. After all, we should take the instructions of His Excellency Helen first, and you are indeed a little impulsive. Isn't it just for you to undergo a check..."
The woman stammered and vaguely passed the part that the officers and soldiers were forced to take off their armor and be examined.
At that time, the four women were a little gloating, especially because they had all taken the initiative to invite these Paladin players to be their exclusive guardian knight and were rejected. At that time, they felt very happy when they saw these arrogant guys being embarrassed in public. They also secretly looked forward to these people being able to really take off the annoying armor.
and--
"If we really stood up and explained the situation at that time, we might be arrested. It is obvious that the Chinese officers and soldiers were deliberately targeting us."
Having said that, the golden woman suddenly felt that her words made sense. She looked at Helen with a worried look and raised her voice a little:
"Your Excellency, we are probably targeted by those officers and soldiers. They not only investigated each of us, but also seemed to be deliberately annoying us and causing some of us who are not calm enough to conflict with them, so that they have an excuse to take those people away."
Helen didn't say anything, and everyone else who heard this was a little dissatisfied. What do you mean by people who are not calm enough? Is it our own fault that we were investigated and humiliated for no reason? Did we not get a legal ultimatum? Since we are all people who entered Bagua City legally and reasonably, why should we be treated so contemptuously by local servants?
"Hmph! It's true that it's a nation without fear in my heart. Even the laws and regulations can be trampled on so easily!"
"We are also called Hu from Fanbang. They are all ignorant mortals, but they dare to threaten us noble priesthoods with swords?"
"So you ran away in shame? It was just that those mortals pointed at them with their swords, and you three could not help but beg for mercy in a low voice?"
"You! What are you talking nonsense! You were all knocked to the ground at that time, and you didn't see clearly how hard the three of us tried to persuade the officers and soldiers to let you go!"
"You are persuading me? I think you want to separate your relationship with me, right?"
"You guys! I clearly saw that you stuffed several gold coins to those servants, and they were so self-deprecating. How could you be so embarrassed to talk about awe?"
"Will you not be self-deprecating when you are pressed on the wall by the soldiers like you? We are just using the useless things in the world to preserve our dignity as a priest!"
"Useless things? Then don't worry! Is it your dignity to bargain with those officers and soldiers?"
...
"Enough!! Shut up all of them!"
As these dozen people criticized each other more intensely, Helen finally couldn't help but roared, her voice a little sharp.
Helen was a little scared at this time because she had already realized that this was an intentional plan:
Anyone who was arrested must have another group of people present at that time without any harm; any person who was arrested must have at least one of the small groups he belonged to successfully escape, and the situation of the other group was observed.
This "surviving" person may not resent the officers and soldiers, but he will definitely be dissatisfied with those who are lucky and watch the scene coldly, and will inevitably be dissatisfied with the commander who lets them act dispersed.
Letting his subordinates compete with each other in the form of small groups was originally a method of control that Helen was proud of, but now this cold relationship that she deliberately guided has created the greatest crisis at this time.
Looking at the Holy Masters and Paladins who were still a little contempt and resentful in their eyes, Helen was still graceful and calm on her face, but she was already regretful in her heart.
In order to cover up the embarrassment that Shi Sui teased, she temporarily deployed this task of scattering everyone, but she did not expect that she would take advantage of the local government...
It's the year! It must be him!!
This must be his trick!
"I'm afraid this is all a conspiracy to move the world. From the meeting between the mountain gate, the president was planning to plot against us as soon as he was a year old."
Helen concluded lightly, her still elegant and stable voice seemed to have a sense of wisdom. Looking at the thoughtful people, she felt relieved, but she didn't explain much, but said:
"Even if we are not dispersed and we get together from beginning to end, we will probably be targeted by the local government."
As if to prove her words, hundreds of fully armed officers and soldiers suddenly emerged from the four streets at this intersection and surrounded them.
For some reason, Helen actually felt relieved.
The man looked at Helen and the others arrogantly, snorted coldly, and asked:
"What are you gathering here for? Without permission, you dared to gather so many people privately and discuss our court's laws in public. Do you, the Hu people, want to rebel?"
Helen, who was detained for no reason, couldn't help but curse in her heart that she was so vicious that she wanted to kill them? Is it to let them know what they want to leave here?
But Helen was absolutely unwilling to admit defeat and leave in shame. She must walk to the age of dynasty, appreciate his regret, ruthlessly reject his apology and flattery, and finally proudly give him his own forgiveness.
"Hello, gentleman, we are just the mercenary group that has just come here for the first time. Because we made an appointment to meet with the president of Xingtianxia, we stayed here for a while and waited for other companions to come and meet. As for any inappropriate remarks, this is probably a misunderstanding. We are just discussing some of the national political situation of our Gaia 6."
Helen stabilized her mood, with a faint smile on her lips, took two steps, and the silk robe on her body flowed from her waist to her legs with her steps, showing her mature/female charm.
Facing such a gentle tone, the leading officers and soldiers were not ready to speak rudely anymore, but nodded reservedly and replied:
"I have heard of Xingtianxia's guild. Since you said you had an appointment, why should you gather here? Would you still have to bring the whole group of people to the appointment?"
Hum, I really want to use this method to weaken our number of people! However, since I dare to bring only one person to the appointment, then too many people here will seem inadequate?
Helen smiled and replied, "We are ready to leave now. It's just an ordinary meeting. In fact, I only need to be alone. The rest of the people should continue to play in the city."
After saying that, Scott, who was behind her, had already stepped out and directed calmly:
"Knight Macaulay and I stay, so the others should go away. Be careful not to cause trouble. You can find a place to rest and wait for those who have left temporarily."
Scott has seen Helen's unwillingness and believes that the talks today may not be more beneficial than fewer people.
Moreover...Scott looked at the people who had just broken up and blamed each other, and knew that even if there was a conspiracy theory as an excuse, the conflict that had just broke out would not be smoothed out so quickly. At this time, these people might not be able to cooperate with each other.
Scott has always followed Helen and followed all the instructions wholeheartedly. He is a well-known loyal and martial man. He is a relatively modest personality and often acts as a buffer between Helen and others. Therefore, he is very prestigious and popular in the Rose Knights. As soon as he said this, the people immediately restrained their emotions, saluted Helen and the other two before dispersing themselves. The officers and soldiers surrounding them did not make things difficult, and directly gave up a passage to let them leave.
Helen, with Scott and Macaulay behind him, also left, preparing to go to the Tianhuo Tower, but after walking a few steps, the three of them stopped together and stared at the officers and soldiers with a bad expression.
"What do you mean?"
Helen held the staff in her hand tightly, and the gems inlaid on the staff were filled with light, as if a terrifying storm was brewing.
The officer and soldier raised their eyebrows and said with a scoundrel:
"We are all guests from afar. We just disturbed your interest in enjoying the scenery. Now we naturally have to compensate, so why don't we escort three of us? Then we will stand guard for your meeting station? After all, I think you must have some little secrets that you don't want people to know, right?"
Escort? Standing guard? Is it necessary to monitor us throughout the process?
Helen suddenly became a little suspicious of the forces behind these officers and soldiers. Is Sui willing to let so many unrelated people intervene in their talks? Or is there someone else targeting them today in the Rose Knights?
Just as I thought of this, a familiar man's voice suddenly sounded outside the encirclement of officers and soldiers, and said with some surprise:
"Oh my god, I just said why can't I wait for Miss Helen? It turns out that it's here!"
Helen turned her head and looked at it. It was the man with a gourd hanging on the waist that she had just seen this morning. It was Zangjiu, the vice president of Xingtianxia.
Zangjiu only saw the situation of Helen and the other two, and swept over the officers and soldiers who surrounded the three of them in surprise, without knowing what to say for a moment.
Are you acting, or do you really don’t know what these officers and soldiers did today? Helen, who saw Zang Jiu’s expression, was thinking in her heart.
"This... Dear officials, Miss Helen and her mercenary group both received passes stamped by the court themselves. They did not enter the country illegally. Are you?"
Zangjiu asked carefully.
"We just heard the people's arguments. Some foreigners defame the laws of the national teacher on the streets and suspected of having illegal gatherings, so they hurriedly brought people over. After all, this brother must have known the strictness of the Hu-restricted Order."
Facing Zangjiu, who is also a Chinese, the official immediately became kind and explained patiently:
"Who thinks it's really our misunderstanding, so we plan to escort the lady and her entourage and temporarily protect their safety until they leave Gossip City, which is also a sign of apologizing."
Is there anyone who apologized like this?
Zangjiu tried hard to swallow the words that jumped to his mouth, smiled heartily, and said:
"That's really hard for you, but they are only three of them, you..."
Are these more than 100 people planning to stack personal walls to make mobile fortresses?
"This is to show our sincerity!"
The official smiled heartily, not thinking that there was anything wrong with this.
Zangjiu knew that it was impossible to drive these officers and soldiers away, so he stopped insisting, pointed to the direction of Tianhuo Tower and said:
"Then I'll ask you all to take a few more steps. My president has already booked the Tianhuo Tower. If you don't mind, why not go and take a break?"
After saying that, Zangjiu pretended to be the key to guide the way and walked a few steps ahead of these officers and soldiers. He thought in his heart that he was smart, at least it seemed that he was taking a group of younger brothers, rather than being escorted by someone as a serious prisoner.
Zangjiu turned his head and glanced at Helen, who was unable to see her face, and was even more fortunate that she was the foresight of the year. She asked herself to walk around the Tianhuo Tower, and perhaps she could help relieve the people in need.
When he thought of another Sanchi Shui who had been sent by Sui to wander around, he was even more grateful that his task was quite easy.
Zangjiu is not stupid. After a moment of thinking about the situation, he knew that these officers and soldiers were sent to make trouble on purpose. As for who this person was...
Zang Jiu glanced around vigilantly.
