"My lord, tell me, what do you want me to do?" The brainwashed Gironde seemed to have become a different person.
"As long as you do this, then do it again … I promise that you and your brothers will survive!" Jiang Fei whispered into Gironde's ear.
"As long as my brothers survive, I will do whatever you say, my lord!" Gironde took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.
After Jiang Fei had arranged everything, he quietly left the slave camp.
After Gironde returned to his shack, he did not speak for a long time. If there were cigarettes in this era, Gironde would have smoked one after another.
Although he had just promised Jiang Fei, as a slave, he and his brothers were still under a lot of pressure to assassinate the herald.
However, the emperor's order was too decisive, leaving them with no way out. Although Gironde did not know if Jiang Fei's plan would work, it was at least a chance. Once it succeeded, he and his brothers would not only gain freedom, but also wealth and status that they could not even dream of!
"Phew!" Gironde took a deep breath. At this time, because he was nervous, the grass in his mouth had all been chewed up. The bitter taste filled his mouth, but it also made him completely calm down.
Speaking of which, Gironde was also a very capable person. He became a slave only because of his poor background. His parents were slaves, so he became a slave the moment he was born. However, this did not prevent Gironde from having wisdom that ordinary people could not imagine.
Soon, Gironde made a simple action plan in the dark, and then he woke his brothers up.
"What's wrong, second brother …"
"Yeah, it's only the middle of the night, second brother."
"Stop it … stop it, I'm dead tired, I want to sleep!"
After several days of rushing, and not eating or sleeping well, Gironde's brothers were all exhausted. They all hoped to sleep at night to recover their strength.
"Get up, all of you. If you want to live, hurry up and get up," Gironde said in a low voice.
"Swoosh …" Gironde's five brothers suddenly shivered, then all turned over and sat up. At this time, if there was anything that tempted them the most, it was undoubtedly survival.
"Second Brother, are we going to escape in the middle of the night?" A short guy asked.
"Second Brother, didn't you say that we wouldn't be able to escape from the cavalry?" another person asked.
"We won't run! When the sun rises, you just need to act according to my mood. I guarantee that not only will you be able to survive, you might even be able to live in a brick house, eat delicious food, and marry a wife! " Gironde didn't tell his brothers about his plan. It wasn't that he didn't trust them, but rather that they hadn't seen much of the world. Even if he told them the details of the plan, they might not understand. Furthermore, they weren't smart and would easily spill the beans.
"Second Brother, you're not lying to us, right?"
"Yeah, how is that possible! It's already good enough that we can survive. How could we dare to ask for these things … "
"Second Brother, have you lost your mind because you want to live?"
The Girondins obviously didn't believe in such a good thing.
"As long as you do as I say, I promise to keep my word!" Gironde said seriously.
"Second Brother? Are you serious? "
"If that's really the case, we'll do whatever you say, Second Brother!"
"But Second Brother, what do you want us to do?"
Seeing Gironde's serious expression, the Girondins also woke up from their sleepiness. They didn't care at all what Gironde wanted them to do. They were people who were going to die anyway. As long as they could survive, they could sacrifice everything. Moreover, the beautiful future that Gironde promised them was unimaginable!
"You don't have to worry about the specifics. Just cooperate with me when the sun rises. When the time comes, do whatever I tell you to do. No one is a coward, no one is a weakling!" Although they might be able to embark on a wonderful journey after dawn and obtain the benefits promised by Jiang Fei, the risk of this matter was equally great. If the operation failed, they would face the fate of being cut into a thousand pieces.
"Second Brother, don't worry. We're all going to die soon. What's there to be afraid of? Tomorrow, even if you want me to fight with those soldiers, we'll do it!" One of the Girondins said with a smile. Although he had inadvertently made an analogy, he did not expect that this analogy was exactly what Gironde had planned!
The night passed quickly. As Gironde's subordinates did not know what was going on, they quickly fell asleep again. However, Gironde had something on his mind, so he did not close his eyes for the whole night.
The next morning, the soldiers began to drive the slaves away. Before they left, under Jiang Fei's bewitchment, the messenger decided to give the slaves another lecture.
When the slaves lined up, the messenger brought the loudspeaker to a high platform.
"You lowly slaves, hurry up and get on your way. Otherwise, I guarantee that you'll be executed before you even see the walls of Marat!" The messenger shouted loudly. Although he was holding a loudspeaker in his hand, his voice could only be heard by the slaves nearby. Most of the slaves had to rely on word of mouth to know what he said.
"Tsk! If we don't dare to reveal ourselves, we'll be executed. We'll still be executed when we reach Marat. We're going to die anyway. Why are we still working so hard? "A strange voice suddenly came from among the slaves.
Swoosh! In an instant, all the slaves turned to look at the owner of the voice. It was Gironde!
"Second brother, are you crazy?"
"Second brother! You! Sigh! "
Gironde's subordinates were scared out of their wits.
"Who said that? Bring him here! "The messenger shouted angrily.
"Yes!" Very soon, the soldiers beside the messenger arrived among the slaves below and were about to bring Gironde up to the platform.
"Don't touch my second brother!"
"Let go of my second brother!"
Not to mention, Gironde was still very important in the hearts of his subordinates. Although his subordinates knew that they might be implicated if they stood up for Gironde at this time, they still stood up for him.
"You're really rebelling! Bring them all here! "The messenger was furious. He had never seen slaves who dared to resist.
"Yes!" More soldiers rushed down the platform. They were holding weapons and whips in their hands. After a round of beating, Gironde and his subordinates were quickly brought up to the platform.
After going up to the platform, Gironde could not help but look at Jiang Fei, who was behind the messenger. If it were not for Jiang Fei's guarantee, he would not have taken such a big risk.
Jiang Fei nodded without a trace, indicating that Gironde could rest assured. At the same time, he was very happy because his plan had begun as scheduled!
