Chapter 199 The best way to hitch a ride

If you want to do it, you have to do a big vote!

With the help of the warm monsoon in October, the merchant ship departing from Shimo Island returned to the south of the chaotic sea after only six days of sailing. Christine and Juya changed the boat halfway and left, headed to Shimo Island with great enthusiasm to summon the kidnapping gang. Hei Tu also took a dense list to summon the black merchants to buy and collect various supplies, leaving only Mr. Crent on the merchant ship in tears, writing his suicide note early in fear...

Well, in fact, Mr. Crent thought too much. Lin Taiping was not brave enough to enter Lisbon alone, but caught fish on the nearby island for half a month. It was not until early November that he used magic to change his appearance, mixed with several merchant ships coming to trade, and successfully boarded Lisbon Island.

Speaking of which, this is not the first time Lin Taiping came to Lisbon Island. Just half a year ago, when he was teleported to the chaotic waters, he appeared in a small alley on the island. He also met the fleeing mermaid sister, who was hunting for several streets by a large group of demon wolf knights. Finally, he inexplicably joined the orc pirates...

Now, returning to this original starting point, especially when seeing the reward notices from herself and Angelina on the street, Lin Taiping was really moved. Of course, he couldn't help but complain, why Angelina's bounty was three times higher than her, would be favorable to beauties?

"Stop kidding, are you still in the mood to think about this?" Seeing him standing in front of the reward notice and commented happily. Mr. Crent, who followed him, couldn't help but sweat desperately. Until now, Lisbon Island was full of murderous armed soldiers guarding and patrolling. In just half an hour, five or six guards were on high alert.

"Okay, I've put on makeup." Lin Taiping gently touched the fake beard on his face and looked around with a smile. "Anotherwise, in less than half a year, it seems that this place is much depressed. I remember when I came last time, there were at least a few hundred shops on the main street. Why aren't even half here now?"

Is there any more to ask? Mr. Crent couldn't help rolling his eyes, feeling that this question was redundant.

Among the six directly-governed islands of Duke Xuesai, Lisbon, located on the golden route, is undoubtedly the most prosperous commercial island. Over the past decades, this commercial island has created countless commercial taxes, like a huge gold mine that never drys up, continuously delivering wealth to Duke Xuesai, and is therefore called "the Duke's Money Bag".

However, in recent years, with the ambitious expansion of the Duke of Xuesa's army, under his crazy exploitation of fishing in the dry pond, even the prosperous island of Lisbon began to be unable to bear it, and the business tax that was so high that a large number of merchants were forced to go bankrupt or move away, and fewer merchant ships were traveling to and from the port, and the trade volume dropped sharply. Even the shops in the city went bankrupt and closed.

Especially in the past six months, Baron Mills, who succeeded his father as the consul, was simply extortion and making all-out use of all kinds. Not only did he add dozens of tax items in one go, but he also asked merchants for donations in various names, such as the Duke's birthday and the Baron's presidency celebration. Last month, he even forced merchants to donate a large sum of funds, because his beloved Gaul horse had just given birth to a foal...

In this case, Lisbon Island was filled with public grievances from top to bottom, but no one dared to express dissatisfaction publicly, because the previous big businessman who expressed dissatisfaction had now been hung on the dock and dried up, which was enough for anyone to shut up and change his words to praise the Duke and his son for being kind and wise.

"Is that so? He is really kind-hearted!" Lin Taiping immediately respected the Baron Mills when he heard this, "Wait, when it comes to hanging on the dock and drying, I suddenly remembered the guys from the Golden Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that they have been hung now... Um? Wait, what is this?"

Standing in front of the bulletin board in the street, he was still admiring his wanted announcement, but after a few casual glances, he found a new bulletin in the middle of the bulletin board. The content of the bulletin board was very simple, and he just announced that Baron Mills would hang a group of smuggling black-hearted merchants in public this evening...

"Uh, the so-called black-hearted businessman means?" Lin Taiping and Mr. Crent looked at each other and suddenly had a very bad premonition. In other words, those guys are now hanged in minutes because they are unwilling to cooperate with Mills, or because they have signed a magic contract, they cannot reveal their secrets.

"Damn it, Mills butcher!" Mr. Crent imagined the tragic scene and trembled all over his body with anger. He grabbed Lin Taiping's arm tightly, "Lin, we must not watch them hanged like this. We should... leave Lisbon Island now!"

Puff! Lin Taiping suddenly spitted blood, wait, did I hear it wrong? Seeing your excited, angry and trembling all over, I thought you were planning to rush into the execution ground to save people without hesitation?

"I want to save them, but the question is how to save them just by the two of us?" Mr. Crent replied with confidence, and wiped his tears and sighed, "So, since I can't save them, I can't bear to watch them hanged... Alas, maybe the only thing I can do is take good care of their legacy, which is really sad."

You don't look sad? Lin Taiping touched his chin speechlessly and grabbed Mr. Crent who was already ready to flicker: "Old Ke, I'm afraid you can't accept the inheritance, because I suddenly felt that we should go to the execution ground with great heroic spirit, and fight hard to live and die together under the siege of hundreds of armed soldiers... Cough cough, does it sound very passionate?"

You are so hot, Mr. Crent burst into tears. Don’t joke. Just two of us dare to say that we entered the execution ground to save people. Is this an active and enthusiastic delivery to our door? What’s more, it’s almost evening now, and we don’t know where the execution ground is. Even if we know, we don’t have time to rush over.

"Well, this is a problem." Lin Taiping touched his chin in distress. Mr. Crent immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He suddenly felt that he was too anxious and immediately took the hot iron suggestion and said, "So, since we don't have time to rush over now, it's better to get early...wait, what do you want to do?"

Before he finished speaking, just as Mr. Crent's horrified gaze, Lin Taiping suddenly cleared his throat, took a big stroll to the center of the street, then took a deep breath, waved his arms and shouted to the sky--

"Long live the Golden Chamber! Baron Mills, you are a bastard!"

In an instant, the whole street was silent, and everyone turned their heads neatly with the admiration and horror. After a few seconds, the roar of iron hooves suddenly rang out, and countless iron armored soldiers, demon wolf knights surged out like a black tide, surging murderous intent from all directions...

Then, a few minutes later, Lin Taiping was already sitting in the free carriage, staring at each other with big eyes and staring at each other, surrounded by the "entertainment" of hundreds of armed soldiers, happily heading to the execution ground.

"Look, isn't this very convenient?" Seeing the wilderness execution ground flying in front of the crows, Lin Taiping turned his head happily and looked at Mr. Crent who was crying. "No need to find a guide or pay the fare, you can reach the execution ground directly, and it is guaranteed to be in time."

Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo w

Well, whether it is resentment or regret, it is too late to say anything now. After just a moment, the carriage escorted the prisoner has arrived at the wilderness execution ground. This wilderness specially used for hanging is even bright red as blood. There are countless crows nearby who smell the smell of flesh and blood, hovering in the air with twitching twitching, waiting for the arrival of a feast of flesh and blood.

At this moment, as a new round of hanging was about to begin, hundreds of armed soldiers had already surrounded the entire execution ground layer by layer. These armed soldiers in black armor stood up expressionlessly pressing their swords, watching the two unlucky guys fall into the trap. The cold eyes were full of sarcasm and there was no trace of pity.

"Two idiots, get out!" Several armed soldiers opened the car door, pushed Lin Taiping and Mr. Crent off the carriage, and immediately sent someone to the execution ground to inform. Two or three minutes later, a middle-aged man dressed in a housekeeper rushed over and glanced at the two prisoners gloomyly: "What a guy who is not afraid of death. If you take them in, the Baron will be happy to see a few more bodies on the gallows."

"As for the order, sir." Several armed soldiers respectfully accepted the order and immediately drove Lin Taiping and Mr. Crent into the execution ground. Not far from them, a tall punishment platform had been built. More than a dozen blood-stained black merchants were dejected and forced to stand in front of the gallows, waiting in despair. They were waiting for the arrival of death in despair.

Perhaps it was unintentional that several of the black merchants reluctantly raised their heads. When they saw Lin Taiping and Mr. Crent who were being escorted over, they suddenly opened their mouths in disbelief. However, just as they were about to exclaim, Lin Taiping suddenly shook his head invisibly and made a hint of not saying anything.

However, at this moment, a rugged figure wearing a red cloak suddenly stood up among the dense group of black armed soldiers, and turned his head gloomyly, making a sharp and harsh grinning laugh—
