When Cherchen and Yuri fight back to zamoshya, Cherchen\'s uncle Pedro is also in trouble in zamoshya.

Originally, according to the agreement between Pedro and the robbers, he should take two thousand Taylor and prisoners to redeem Chechen and Yuri on this day. He also agreed with the leader of the caravan and the village head of Mikhail to exchange the tar and other items seized from the robbers for Taylor.

But since last night, the mercenary regiment has been divided over the issue of redemption. The initiator is Malone, who lost one ear in the battle.

Malone has a problem. He is greedy for money. Originally, when he joined Pedro\'s team, he took a fancy to the mercenary fee promised by Pedro for 20 Taylor every month in the future. If the booty is changed into money, everyone will not be less than 150 Taylor. Now this money has to be exchanged by Pedro for his nephew. How can Malone not resent it.

Malone agitated four or five mercenaries and strongly opposed Pedro\'s use of the captured booty to redeem people.

"Our mercenaries are all engaged in desperate business with their heads hanging on their trousers and belts. This time, the booty should belong to each of us. According to the rules, everyone should share the money and booty equally."

That\'s what Malone said.

This remark is indeed reasonable if it is in peacetime. Pedro doesn\'t care about these little money. Pedro combined these people, but also want to join one side in the war that will break out in the future to obtain greater benefits. He will even deliberately give more benefits to others in order to buy people\'s hearts and consolidate the team.

But this time, his nephew fell into the hands of the robbers. Without hostages, the property was the last bargaining chip for Pedro to negotiate with the robbers. How could he get rid of the money.

So Pedro proposed not to divide the property for the time being, and then robbed it from the robbers when it was replaced.

"Get it back? What if you can\'t get it back?" Malone was a little reluctant.

If Pedro had met Malone\'s naysayers in the past, he would have had an old fist. But now, his prestige in the team has not been fully established, and there are not a few mercenaries who listen to Malone\'s words. He had to restrain his anger and explain it carefully.

But no matter what Pedro said, Malone was against it. He has only one purpose, that is, money.

"If you hadn\'t killed the two prisoners, you might have changed them back without paying."

Listen to Malone being so unreasonable, Cadiz, who was originally unhappy with Pedro, stood on Pedro\'s side and choked.

Malone widened his ape like black eyes. If anger could burn a person, caddis would have been burned to ashes by the anger from Malone\'s eyes.

Unfortunately, caddis had no response to Malone\'s anger. After saying this, he lowered his head and wiped his sword.

"Yes, I also propose to rescue Chechen first. We are all companions who live and die together. Who hasn\'t been in danger yet. Let\'s think about whether you want others to save you if you are captured one day and have the chance to pay a ransom."

At this time, Fidel also said.

Fidel was a soldier and good at fencing. He also has great prestige in the team. He also spoke for Pedro and hit the point. The two mercenaries who were originally bewitched by Malone immediately wavered.

Seeing that his allies were less and less, Malone kept dripping sweat on his forehead anxiously.

Suddenly, he reached out and held his halberd.

This is to fire! The crowd could not help but get nervous.

Pedro and Fidel also put their hands on the hilt.

At the critical moment, Ruth stood between the two sides and acted as a peacemaker. He said that it was getting late and everyone went back to have a rest. We\'ll think about it in the long run tomorrow. That eased the situation.

By this, Malone certainly won\'t live in the same room with Pedro and Fidel again. He gave them a vicious look, then looked at caddis, picked up his halberd and went out of the door.

Originally, people thought it was over. Unexpectedly, Malone secretly carried a few velvet and other booty onto a pack horse that night and absconded with things.

This is a big trouble. It\'s nothing to leave a Malone, but what he stole is worth no less than 600 Taylor. These are the things that Pedro intended to exchange for ransom. There is a big gap in the 2000 ransom.

"Thieves, robbers, villains." Pedro cursed Malone with dirty and ugly words, and others were filled with righteous indignation. Such a thing of absconding with objects violates the taboo of mercenaries.

"I don\'t know if a thousand Taylor can redeem one person." after cursing, Pedro couldn\'t help thinking. He even thought of robbing the village - if conditions permit.

"Excuse me, gentlemen."

At this time, village head Mikhail opened the door and came in.

"Village head, what\'s the matter?" Pedro\'s voice was tired, and he was a little haggard.

"That\'s right. The noble master in the city sent a team of cavalry to collect the rent for next year. Although I told them again and again that we had no surplus food, they still didn\'t believe it and said they wanted to search. So..."

Later, village head Mikhail didn\'t say it clearly, but he obviously meant that the scope of the search also included the rooms where the caravan and mercenaries were located.

"Well, let\'s go out." the people didn\'t fight with the soldiers. Although they were in a bad mood, Pedro and they didn\'t embarrass the village head Mikhail and went out of the house very cooperatively.

Outside, the leader of the caravan was negotiating with the soldiers.

"We are a caravan belonging to the kingdom of Sweden and protected by the king of Sweden."

"Don\'t worry, Mr. leader. We have great goodwill to the kingdom of Sweden and the greatest respect to King Carl. We won\'t move anything as long as it\'s on the caravan list," said a young man like an officer.

So the leader stopped talking.

Pedro and others stood outside the house and watched the soldiers go in and out.

"Do you think these soldiers can find food?" Ruth whispered to caddis. The two performances of Cadiz made Ruth think that the cold faced man had been seduced by Pedro, and his attitude towards him was warm.

Cadiz didn\'t speak.

"Sir. We found something."

At this time, a soldier came out with two barrels of tar and wine. That\'s the booty Pedro got from the robbers.

"Put it down! These are ours." Pedro roared. The sound not only frightened the soldier, but even Ruth and them trembled.

I don\'t blame Pedro for the lion roar. Malone\'s abscond with things is enough to make Pedro angry, and now these stupid soldiers have the idea of the rest. If they succeed, Pedro will really have no hope to save Chechen.

"Not on your list." the young officer looked at Pedro with angry eyes and said without expression and salt.

"That\'s our booty against robbers," Ruth said.

"Indeed," said the caravan leader.

"That\'s the stolen goods. We\'ll take them away and return them to their original owners."

But the young officer remained unmoved and still wanted to take it.

"Stolen goods? I\'ll turn your clothes into \'dirty goods\'." Pedro couldn\'t bear it. He didn\'t care about anything, so he drew his sword and cut it.
