According to the agreement between Garcia and Nemea, the envoy group arrived in the county of Beishan the day after tomorrow, and this time point is still particular.

Nemea had less than two days to give, which allowed the new duke to verify Garcia's claims to a certain extent, but not completely.

The one-day cycle is enough to verify the news in the territory of the Duchy of Mia, but the imperial capital is too far away for the news to spread.

So the diorama won't be debunked, and it can look quite similar.

Of course, Lin Shuo's side has to be arranged and adjusted accordingly.

Therefore, that afternoon, under the leadership of Miao Chengyun, the head of the envoy group, the group stayed in an inn in the town of Xilan County with great fanfare.

Head Miao shook the prestige of the officials of the imperial capital, directly contracted the store, and then drove out all the original guests of the hotel.

The lord of this town, a baron affiliated with Garcia, hurriedly rushed over when he heard the news and wanted to make a wave of sycophants, which meant to invite the envoy group to his official residence for a while, but he was slapped by Miao Chengyun and slapped out two back molars, holding his face and crying and going back.

The chickens and dogs made a fuss for half a night, and when it was close to midnight, the scene finally stopped, and everyone knew that this group of imperial envoys was not easy to mess with, so they all hid far away.

Garcia's county of Xilan is close to the sea and has a port, which is considered a relatively developed place of commerce and trade, and has a relatively large foreign population.

And the specifications of this hotel are not high, and there are guests who come and go, which is also the reason why Lin Shuo likes this store, because the composition of people who come and go is different, and the boss here has a rich source of information, so he can inquire about something.

The store is not large, only two floors. The first floor is a tavern, which is mainly for drinking and eating, and the second floor is for accommodation.

After moving in and driving everyone away, Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun knew that the eating, drinking and accommodation here were just peripheral services.

The core business of this shop is actually the leather and meat business.

It was a bit late to learn the news, and it was too late to change the hotel, so although the second floor was not so clean, everyone had to make do with it.

When it was close to midnight, everyone else was resting upstairs, and Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun were still on the first floor.

The brothers drank and chatted.

At the same time, Lin Shuo also felt that tomorrow was estimated to be a fierce battle, and his state had to be adjusted.

Drink some wine and go upstairs to sleep, and the wine will rush to the bed, then you can really sleep, and the fourth lady will not be a demon.

The person who runs this shop is a woman, who is standing in the bar at this moment, waiting for Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun to drink.

Miao Chengyun shook the wine glass in his hand, and his eyes lingered on the charming proprietress who still had charm, which made Lin Shuo feel that it was superfluous to drink with him.

This Miao Gongzi Lin Shuo understands it, and he is kneeling at home.

But if you go outside and get out of the control of your cousin Yun Xiu'er, it will be lawless.

Not only can it be played, but the taste is also raw and cold.

Last time he ransomed himself in Borneo for a female technician who didn't look very good, it was Lin Shuo's money.

So when he saw this situation, Lin Shuo felt that he had better quickly dodge.

Otherwise, if the proprietress personally went to take over Miao Gongzi's business, Miao Gongzi would definitely ask Lin Shuo if he had no money.

Lin Shuo felt that whether he gave it or not, it was not so suitable.

As soon as he thought of this, Lin Shuo drank the wine in his cup with a clatter, and then spit out some wine residue into the cup.

The wine sold here is an ale wine, with a strong malt aroma, but the alcohol content is not high, the taste is bitter, and the filtration is not so clean.

After drinking the wine, as soon as he put the cup on the bar, Lin Shuo was about to withdraw, but was pulled by Miao Chengyun: "Why are you going?"

"Sleep. ”

"Why do you go to bed so early, there is something tomorrow, you can still let you go to Su Dongdong so early, turning back has affected the state, and things can't be done tomorrow, then it will be a big loss." Miao Chengyun smiled, "A few more drinks, it's better to go up dizzy." ”

"You have a mouth. Lin Shuo shook his head helplessly, and motioned for the proprietress to bring him another drink.

According to Lin Shuo's understanding in the past two days, the languages of Daxizhou are actually diverse.

But I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, it's basically similar to Eurasia, but it's the opposite in direction.

The west side is dominated by Sino-Tibetan languages, and the east side is dominated by Indo-European languages.

The Principality of Mia is located in the northeastern corner of the continent and the local language is English.

The empire in which the Duchy of Mia is located, although geographically located to the east. But the royal family is foreign, and it was the result of a war more than a hundred years ago. Therefore, the official language of the capital of this empire was Chinese.

It was also like the high nobles like Artemis or Garcia, who were well educated and mastered the Chinese language, while the commoners and most of the lower nobles did not.

So Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun chatted and spoke Chinese, but the proprietress couldn't understand it, and the English in the proprietress was both understood.

Lin Shuo had just regained his seat, and the proprietress at the bar opposite threw an eyebrow at Lin Shuo and began to pour him wine.

Of course, Lin Shuo pretended not to see it, but just looked down at the wine glass.

Miao Chengyun said: "I can see that you didn't tell the truth in front of Garcia today, now let's talk about the two of us, what do you think." ”

Lin Shuo raised his glass and took a sip of wine, and asked rhetorically, "Do you think this trip is necessary for us to go through the muddy waters?"

"Yes. Miao Chengyun smiled, "Look at the wives in your family, I don't know your kid's taste, it's just a mouthful of exotic beauties, Dylan Godia, those are all Western women."

Just that Artemis, hey, it's good-looking, it looks different from ordinary women, this kind of peerless collection, don't you get one at home?

Is this still the Lin Shuo I know?"

"That means you don't know me at all. Lin Shuo rolled his eyes.

"Hey, it's still pretending to be with me. Miao Chengyun shook his head, "Anyway, this time I'm the head of the regiment, you listen to me."

Artemis, burn still has to be burned, otherwise she can't explain to others, and life is better than death.

But let's not let her really get burned.

Do you see this boss lady on the other side?

It's very well maintained, although there are a little more folds on the face, but the figure is not bad, similar to Artemis.

Didn't you get a sum of money from Garcia before, and you gave me some of it so that I could spend the night alone with this lady tonight.

My skill in disguise may be a little worse than that of the Tang family, but Artemis's face is easy to do because it is flawless.

A flawless face, few details, and a good imitation, you can rest assured, others will never see it.

In this way, it is a win-win situation for both of us. ”

Lin Shuo didn't understand: "So you succeeded, where did I win?"

"Whew. Miao Chengyun said, "After stealing the beams and changing the pillars, Artemis is suspended from death, and then she won't be able to stay in Daxizhou in the future, so you can take her home." Brother, I suffered a little loss, tonight with this fake and wronged, you take the real thing home, you see, how good I am to you. ”

Lin Shuo was almost angry: "I thank you." ”

Miao Chengyun stretched out his hand: "No thanks, just give money." ”

Lin Shuo put his hand in his pocket, took out ten copper coins and put them on the bar, got up and left.

There's no point in talking nonsense with this person, it's better to go to sleep.

Miao Chengyun was anxious behind him: "It's only ten coppers, it's not enough!"

"It's wine money. Lin Shuo said without looking back.

Just when Lin Shuo was about to go upstairs, the proprietress who had been silent in the bar suddenly spoke:

"Guest, please wait. ”

Speaking in English, Lin Shuo turned his head when he heard this, not understanding why she stopped herself.

"I'm not going to take money for the drinks of the two distinguished guests tonight, on the contrary, I want to negotiate a deal with you, and I will give you money. The proprietress smiled and said, "Please come back and sit down, and we'll talk slowly." ”

Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun glanced at each other with a puzzled expression, and then the head of the Hunting Gate sat back in his original position, wanting to see what kind of medicine this woman was selling in her gourd.

Miao Chengyun touched his face and said to Lin Shuo: "It's over, could it be that this mother-in-law has taken a fancy to the two of us and asked us to serve her at night?"

"Pull it down. Lin Shuo was choked with disgust and glared at Miao Chengyun fiercely.

As soon as the brothers were making such a joke, they saw the proprietress take out a cloth pocket from the bar and put it on the bar.

The cloth pocket clanged, and the rope on the top was half loosened, revealing something glittering with gold inside.

"It's a hundred gold coins. The proprietress said, "Please count the two distinguished guests first." ”

The currency of the Great Western Continent is gold, silver and copper coins.

The purchasing power of a copper coin is basically equivalent to one dollar. 1,000 copper coins for one silver coin, that's almost 1,000 yuan.

Then one gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, which is ten thousand dollars.

The boss has a bag of 100 gold coins a year, which is about 1 million.

As soon as this bag of money was taken out, Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun immediately understood that this woman should not be an ordinary innkeeper.

Selling meat, whether it is the selling method of black spots or the selling method of Qinglou, a small shop of this grade can't save so much money.

It seems that the skin and meat business is not the core business of this hotel.

Miao Chengyun stretched out his hand and pulled open his pocket, took out a gold coin and looked at it, and then said to Lin Shuo: "Can you take it?"

"What can't I answer?" Lin Shuo was asked inexplicably.

"If you don't pick me up, I'll take it. Miao Chengyun threw the gold coin in his hand into the money bag, and then lifted the entire money bag and put it in his arms, "Who has a grudge against money, isn't it just a matter of one night, and besides, this woman is not bad." ”

Lin Shuo finally understood, and couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "You kid is poor and crazy, if you dare to take on this kind of business, I will cut off the brotherly relationship with you." ”

"No, you're unreasonable......"

Miao Chengyun was about to refute, but heard the proprietress say: "Since the honored guest has accepted the deposit, then we can talk about it." ”

"Is this just a deposit?" Miao Chengyun looked at Lin Shuo with a demented expression, "Am I worth so much for one night?"

Lin Shuo looked at Miao Chengyun with disgust: "Wake up, people are obviously not talking about that kind of thing." ”

"Oh. Miao Chengyun finally came back to his senses, reluctantly put the bag of gold coins in his arms back on the bar, and asked the proprietress in English, "Boss, what deal do you want to talk to us about?"

The proprietress leaned forward slightly, put her pretty face in front of Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun, and said softly, "I want to buy the woman you are holding today." ”

As soon as Lin Shuo and Miao Chengyun heard this, they couldn't help but be taken aback.

Artemis is now being carried on his way as a sinner by the emissaries, shackled to his hands and feet for the sake of realism.

This proprietress should be a knowledgeable person, and the backstage is very hard.

Of course, it may also be that you don't have long eyes, and at the same time you want to be blind.

So Miao Chengyun asked, "Do you know who she is?"

"Yes. The proprietress said with a solemn expression, "The eldest daughter of the former Duke of Mia, the claimant of the Duchy of Mia, Artemis. ”

"Knowing who she is, do you dare to ask for it?" Miao Chengyun asked, "Aren't you afraid of setting yourself on fire?"

"Naturally, I don't dare, but someone dares, I'm just passing the word on the line. The proprietress said, "This hundred gold coins is his sincerity, and this is just a deposit, the price is whatever you want, as long as someone hands it over to me." ”

"That person handed it over to you, how can we keep up with the boss?" Miao Chengyun asked again.

"Isn't it just to take this woman to Beishan and burn it to death?" said the proprietress, "I can provide you with a stand-in, which looks exactly the same, and then burn it, and if you don't say it, who knows?"

Miao Chengyun listened to the music and said to Lin Shuo: "Hey, this woman is a character, and she actually went with me." ”

Lin Shuo didn't pay attention to Miao Chengyun, but said to the proprietress: "Of course, the deal can be discussed, but who the buyer is, we must always know, right?"

The proprietress shook her head: "It doesn't matter who the buyer is, I advise you not to inquire." ”

"What if we don't do this deal?" Lin Shuo asked again.

"Then this fire is burning more than just a stand-in. The proprietress said with a sad face, "You, I, and everyone here, except Artemis, will be burned tonight." Believe me, he is absolutely capable of doing this. ”

"Huh. Miao Chengyun chuckled lightly and pushed the gold coins on the bar back to the proprietress.

Lin Shuo stood up and smiled at the proprietress slightly:

"Let him try. ”
