Chapter 486: To the Fiefdom
After thinking about it, Rudolph said to the knight who had just been recruited: "As long as he is willing to fight for me and die for me, he will have everything." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info I promise, horses, swords, including women! Now let's go! ”
"Good!" The knights immediately applauded loudly, and their dream was, of course, to have meat to eat, wine to drink, and women to be better and better. Those who have horses get on their horses, and those who don't have horses get into the carriage first.
Cheng Qianxun in the carriage hurriedly got out of the way, but was picked up by Rudolph and put on the saddle.
"Here, this is for you!" When Rudolph got on his horse, he threw a bag of about ten copper coins to the guard.
"Thank you, sir!" The guard was so excited that he even took off the helmet on his head, saluted Rudolph, and watched Rudolph leave with the group. Such a generous lord is also rare, and today he got fifteen copper coins, enough for him to buy enough meat to eat for a week, or drink a little wine and hug a woman.
Now there is also a box of copper coins, and this box alone is worth about 200 gold coins, that is, 20,000 copper coins, which is the harvest of a fief for two or three years. Even if 1,800 gold coins were exchanged for title deeds and letters of assignment, the way back would still be dangerous.
To stay alive, you have to spend money. Otherwise, you won't die, and you won't be able to spend money.
On the way, someone came forward and wanted to set it up, after all, it was the new master. Rudolph had a cold face: "Look at the road, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it when you drink at night." ”
As soon as I heard about drinking, even if there was any unhappiness in my heart, it immediately disappeared.
Hurry up, hurry, you still have to live in the wild at night. Rudolph took out all the stocks, and while he was waiting to recruit knights, he bought black bread. Things in that city were very expensive, and strangers even more demanded prices, and only black bread laws could not raise the price, so he bought two black bread of twenty pounds each. He also roasted all the fish that had been frozen into chunks, and gave them two bags of wine to drink. As long as you return to the fiefdom, there is meat in the forest to provide, although you can beat it.
Rudolph hugged Cheng Qianxun and walked into the forest: "You eat first, I'll go and make it convenient." ”
It's night again, and not long after Rudolph lets her go, she transforms into human form.
Immediately a pair of shoes were handed to her, and Rudolph took out another thick cloak from under the cloak, tucked between the armpits, and helped her cover her. I put on my shoes and covered them with a strip, and although it was cold, it was not so cold that I would freeze to death.
Rudolph walked back with his arm crooked, and she hesitated, but did not refuse. After all, if she wants to follow Rudolph in the future, she must be protected by him, otherwise when he figures it out, why should so much money love a mute woman, and it is still so dangerous. Then just wait for you to fall into the dilemma of being caught everywhere.
The knights had begun to drink wine and eat meat, and the appearance of gobbling up showed how scarce resources were in this era. The beasts in this vicinity are not free to hunt and eat, because it is not known whether they have an owner. Hunting in aristocratic territory, commoners and serfs were whipped, and nobles were paid money. Fishing is allowed, so there is a fisherman's trade, but in this era, you don't know how to use large-scale fishing nets and pesticides and electric shocks, so fish are too lazy.
The knights watched their new employer come with a woman in his arms, mostly laughing, some whistling, but they knew that no matter where the woman came from, it was their master's and had nothing to do with them.
Rudolph sat by the bonfire with Cheng Qianxun in his arms, scooped a bowl of fish soup for her with his own hands, and brought her a skewer of grilled fish.
She shook her head, gave the roasted fish back to Rudolph, took the brown bread and ate it with the soup. To feed and drink ten people, black bread is enough, but some fish and meat are not enough even if they are boiled in soup.
After eating, Rudolph still began to lay out the carriage, intending to spend the night in the carriage. And the knights took out their sleeping belongings, and if Rudolph felt that it was not enough, he lent each other a few pieces of animal skins.
After laying the carriage, Rudolph took her hand and pulled her to the side of the carriage: "Sleep in peace, they will be on duty." ”
But just slept like that? Let's sleep, it's a day.
Lying on her side in the car, she still put the dagger in a place where she could reach it, although she shouldn't need it, there were already eight knights by her side, and it had become a habit.
Rudolph didn't touch her, he didn't hook up, but Cheng Qianxun was not optimistic, as Rudolph said, there will be time in the future. Perhaps Rudolph is better than her in terms of patience, but she can only grit her teeth and hold on, otherwise Rudolph and her will be eliminated, and the three teammates who have passed the test may have a more difficult road ahead. She can't let her teammates fall into a catastrophe because of a moment of laxity.
Falling asleep in a daze, and suddenly flickering with the figure in front of him, Cheng Qianxun pulled out the dagger violently, and Rudolph also pulled out a short sword, the tip of which was pointed at the comer.
It was a knight, who was startled, his face was completely sleepy, and he raised his empty hands and explained, "I'm going to make it easier." ”
Cheng Qianxun inserted the dagger back into the scabbard, lay down and continued to sleep, as if nothing had happened.
Rudolph reminded: "If you get up and speak first, don't say a word, be careful of being killed by mistake." "I also lay down and slept.
Looking at the two men and women with their backs to them, one hand still pressed on the position where the sword was drawn just now, this knight was about to muttered in his heart, where did these two people come from, they were even more vigilant than professional thugs.
When it was about to dawn, Rudolph sat up, and at this time Cheng Qianxun also woke up. She has formed a biological clock, and every time before dawn, she wakes up automatically.
"It's convenient!" Rudolph got out of the carriage and took off the cloak that was covering the carriage.
Cheng Qianxun also hurriedly put on one and followed Rudolph into the forest. The snickering laughter from behind him, it is convenient to go together, and you will know what "convenient" is when you think about it.
When he got to the woods, Rudolph turned in front of her and looked at the place where he had just been, if anyone was peeking. Then he put his hand on her face, and his gaze was gentle and not murderous at all. It's rare to see him like this, but Cheng Qianxun has a kind of sadness that can't be expressed.
At last she kept her body down, from looking at Rudolph to looking up, and finally not in her own cloak, she knew that she had become a white fox again.
Rudolph picked up her cloak and shoes and headed to the makeshift station.
Seeing that the woman was gone, but the snow fox came back, of course some people would have doubts. One person smiled at the snow fox and asked, "Where have you been, why haven't you seen you all night?" ”
Another excused himself and said, "As a result, your master's bed was taken by a woman." ”
In the midst of a frolicking laugh, Rudolph calmly replied, "This guy will go out in the evening, and I don't know whether to look for food or other foxes." There was still a while before departure, and everyone hurried up to sleep. ”
Cheng Qianxun jumped into the carriage, just coiled on it, and planned to sleep with his head on his waist, but he was hugged by Rudolph and hugged him in his arms.
Pillowed on Rudolph's arm, his pointed mouth and nose exposed outside the blanket, inhaling the cool-looking air to prevent overheating. Leaning, pillowing, hugging, comfortable is comfortable, but with a little depression. Forget it, if you want to hold it and sleep, it's about to go, and besides, she's a fox now.
At noon he passed by the little inn again, and by this time Rudolph could not compare with the two days before, and he asked for the pig that he had killed two days before, and bought the rest of it, and threw half of it on the carriage, while the other half was roasted and boiled by the knight. I also bought some pickled and frozen vegetables, fruits, and a barrel of beer. The knights have to hurry on the road, and they dare not let them drink too much, and if they don't drink and sleep in the stables at night, they may catch a cold, and the wine must be bought. I also asked for a room, two copper coins a night.
The boss's attitude naturally changed greatly, just for the sake of buying all the pork left in the town, Rudolph was not a person who was only worthy of sleeping in the stable, not to mention that this time he also took eight knights, and in his hand he was holding a high-grade snow fox that ordinary serfs could not earn in a few lifetimes. He lit an oil lamp and led the way to the room himself.
The price is twice as expensive, and the facilities are different. The room was more than twice as large as before, not only did the bed change from four feet to more than five feet, but the blanket on the bed was much thicker and newer, and it was covered with a sheepskin that had been salted. There is also a wardrobe, a table and a chair. Although there is still the smell of urine in the room, it is much less, and it should have been mopped to the floor.
Rudolph nodded in satisfaction. And with perfunctory words, he sent out the shopkeeper who was verbose and introduced other money-spending facilities and services in the store.
After Rudolph put the oiled paper bag containing food on the wooden table, he put Cheng Qianxun on the bed, and then looked sideways at her and waited. When the last rays of sunset disappeared from the window, Cheng Qianxun slowly sat up, and she regained her body.
A hand was placed on her face, and Rudolph's gentle words came: "You feel comfortable at first sight, as if you have seen it before." I don't believe you're going to hurt me, but I don't want to disappear unless you can tell me what's in the other world. ”
No, could she pluck a few white goose feathers to imitate the action of flying, and tell Rudolph that there are winged angels in another world?
Angels may not be able to bring happiness and serenity, and when they go to another world, they will only find that this world is illusory, and if they want to move on to the next level, it will be another world.
Rudolph's voice came again: "The eyes are so sad again, as if there are many things in their hearts. Follow me, I will protect you in the future and let you have no worries about food and clothing. The only thing I can't do for you may be to say your name, and as a Sir I can still marry you. ”
He closed his eyes in pain, and it was only a while at most that he married her. Even if the patience of the Celestial Realm is better than that of the Underworld, it will not give much time. Will she be given a lifetime to live as husband and wife with Rudolph? It's impossible, it's impossible to think about it, if you can do it, you really misunderstand the heavenly realm, it turns out that the heavenly realm is so kind and benevolent.
There were gentle lips approaching her lips, and she jerked back, unable to accept Rudolph, and if she was sensible, she could only refuse.
She turned her head sideways, not daring to look at Rudolph again. Will Rudolph push her again? Now he is a nobleman, and she is a mute, even if she can scream, others will not care, thinking that the master is training the female slave.
But Rudolph did not go any further, and whispered as if nothing had happened: "Go to bed early, don't forget, hold the door, and if someone comes in, they will smash things and make a sound." (To be continued.) )
