1123, conspiracy
Late at night, there were drunk people lying sporadically in the camp, and Ren Xiaosu leaned on the wheels of the carriage and pretended to sleep.
At this time, no one was moving, Ren Xiaosu opened his eyes slightly and observed everyone, and then wrote down all those who were drunk.
If, as he had judged, the caravan consisted of many Berkeley soldiers, it was absolutely impossible for the soldiers to get drunk during their mission.
So, these drunk people can be excluded in the first place.
As a result, after observing this circle, Ren Xiaosu was stunned to find that there were probably fewer idlers in the caravan than he imagined.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised, don't the Li family and the Liu family urge Mei Ge to set off quickly, it's a conspiracy in itself, right?
And then Mei Ge, the stupid white sweet, didn't think much about it, and directly agreed?
Ren Xiaosu manipulated Lao Xu to quietly circle around the outside of the caravan, and as a result, he was more certain of his judgments, seeing that the carnival had just ended, and there were still people on duty next to the vehicles loaded with wine barrels in the caravan.
One of Yorkshire's main businesses is winemaking, and the main cargo that the Chamber of Commerce shipped to Root City this time was also wine.
The caravan consisted of hundreds of ox carts and wagons, a quarter of which were oak barrels full of liquor.
An ox cart can load six barrels of wine, this is the limit of the ox cart, Ren Xiaosu is very suspicious that those oak barrels contain other things, otherwise there would not be someone guarding them in the middle of the night.
It's just that Ren Xiaosu is thinking, is the person in this caravan led by Qian Weining, or is there someone else in command?
The caravan set out again at dawn the next day, and Qian Weining said that they would arrive at the first town on the way, Vaduz County, in the afternoon.
When Ren Xiaosu was on the road, he asked Mego: "Does this Waduz County belong to the control of the Berkeley family?"
Mego nodded: "Yes, and it is one of the important towns of the Berkeley family in the south, half of the Burning Knights are gathered here, and further north, it is the territory of the Winston family." ”
"What is the relationship between the Winston family and the Berkeley family," Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"The Winston family doesn't really have a great wizard, so the Winston family is in front of the Berkeley family...... It's more like a courtier," replied Mego, "and once upon a time the boys of the Berkeley family went to study in Ghent, and the boys of the Winston family only circled around them. If the Berkeley family fights with other families, the Winston kid will also be the first to join the Berkeley kid. ”
"Is there anything else," Ren Xiaosu said curiously.
"Oh, by the way, some say that the Winstons have secretly sworn allegiance to the Berkeleys, but these are rumors," Mego replied.
"I'm afraid it's not a rumor," Ren Xiaosu said suddenly, "Remember, don't trust anyone other than me along the way, including the two sheep people, especially the knights sent by the Li family to protect you, such as Mox." ”
Meigo was puzzled: "What's wrong?"
"I won't tell you for the time being, you are stupid and easy to be talked about," Ren Xiaosu said.
Mego: "......"
In the evening, when the caravan arrived outside the city of Waduz County, Ren Xiaosu frowned: "The towns of Yorkshire do not have city walls, how can there be in Waduz County." ”
"It was built decades ago, saying it was to prevent wild beasts from harming its subjects," Megohun said nonchalantly.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not think that this strong city wall was to protect against wild beasts.
The appearance of the walls of the wizarding kingdom looks quite different from the Middle-earth ramparts, the main structure is more like a castle, with a forest of watchtowers and arrow towers, and it looks like a spear pointed at the sky.
The walls were made of gray monolithic masonry, and on top of them stood smug soldiers holding the banner of the Berkeley family lion in one hand and the hilt of a long sword at his waist with the other.
"What does the flag of the Wizard Kingdom look like," Ren Xiaosu asked.
Mego remembered for a long time, but she didn't remember it for a long time, and it wasn't until a few minutes later that she replied: "It's a pattern of two long swords crossed together, and on top of the long sword is an eye of true sight." ”
"Didn't your family live in Ghent City before, why can't you even remember this," Ren Xiaosu said strangely.
"The flag of Ghent City has long been removed, at first the Normans replaced the flag of Ghent City with their shield banner, and then the Tudors wanted to replace the city with their Haidongqing flag," Mego replied with a shrug of his shoulders, "and the end result is that no one in the city has any flags, and there is nothing bare." ”
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, he said in his heart that the struggle within the wizard kingdom had already been fierce to this extent?
Obviously, the Normans and the Tudors are not dealing with each other, which is very good news for me.
When the caravan tried to enter the city gates, the soldiers on duty at the gate stopped them, and the sergeant major in iron armor ordered the soldiers: "Check their vehicles!"
As a result, at this time, Qian Weining drove the horse and stepped forward and said loudly: "I am Qian Weining, the vice president of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce, all the customs clearance documents are ready, and there is still the respected wizard Lord Mego in the back, do you want to delay his time?"
The soldiers at the door glanced at the back of the convoy, and Qian Weining pointed to Mego's carriage for the sergeant major: "The carriage is the sign of the Eye of True Sight, you can go and send your greetings to Lord Mego." ”
With that, the sergeant major walked towards Mego's carriage, and as he walked, the armor on his body rattled.
He came to Mego's car and knelt down on one knee: "Dear Lord Mego. ”
Mego lifted the curtain and said, "Please get up, I'm just passing through Waduz this time, and I'll continue to the northern city of Ghent tomorrow." ”
"Understood," the sergeant major stood up and beckoned to the soldiers at the city gate, "Release, don't delay Lord Mego." ”
The caravan moved slowly again, and they were to be repaired at the post station north of the town, where they had shelters, and horse feed and hay for the cattle.
Ren Xiaosu watched all this silently from the side, and he suddenly understood why this group of people urged Mego to go on the road.
The people at the bottom of this wizarding country have a deformed worship and belief in wizards, and no matter how many customs clearance documents a caravan brings, it is not as good as a wizard sitting in charge.
The wizard is in the team, and when he passes through many towns, he can even save time to inspect the goods, and even the town defenders who insist on checking will not check too carefully.
Therefore, Mego's stupid white sweetness was used by others as a pass.
As for Mei Ge, he whispered triumphantly to Ren Xiaosu on the side: "How about it, seeing that people respect me so much, do you want to become a wizard more?" Don't worry, I will definitely help you choose the True Eye this time." ”
Ren Xiaosu rolled her eyes, if she hadn't followed her this time and helped Mei Ge bless the "protagonist" life, I'm afraid Mei Ge wouldn't even know how she died......

There is also a chapter that will be very late, so I recommend that you go to bed early and read it tomorrow
