Chapter 355: Tavern
On a trade route in Chongjiang Province, there are many convoys coming and going.
On the edge of the road, there is a somewhat obtrusive new tavern, and a slightly humble stable.
It was noon, and the stables next to the tavern were already crowded, and the horses of the caravan were almost full.
Outside the door, there were only a few servants who were packing their goods, and the tavern was already full of people and commotion.
"Hahaha, I have long thought that a tavern should be built on this trade road, or Lord Harvey's good vision, knowing our merchants' thoughts!"
"Yes, this trade road is relatively remote, and the wind and sand along the road are really a bit big, and you really need a place to rest! It is indeed good to build such a tavern! It's just that this tavern is too much, my lord Harvey, why don't you build this tavern bigger?"
"Yes, yes!"
......
For a moment, many of the merchants in the tavern began to echo loudly.
At this time, the tavern was already overcrowded, and some merchants who came relatively late had no place to sit, so they could only stand in the corner with wine glasses
Inside the counter, a middle-aged man with a somewhat fat figure had a smile on his big face: "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to! There is nothing else here, the place is definitely big enough! It's just that I have just opened my business, so I can only do this business first! Please be considerate." ”
Another person said: "Lord Harvey, I listen, you are from the imperial capital, how can you have no money?"
Hearing this, although Pump Harvey was silent on the surface, he chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't be like this! At that time, the imperial capital city has been completely destroyed, and if we leave the imperial capital and come here, it can only be regarded as a refuge, where is there any big money!"
At this time, a somewhat yin and yang voice suddenly sounded in the crowd: "Listen to what Master Harvey meant, there is no place for you in Fulong City today?"
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to answer indiscriminately, waiting for Pump Harvey's response.
Pump Harvey touched his fat belly: "Of course not! The Imperial Capital City was destroyed, and the construction of Fulong City will also take a certain amount of time! The reason why we came here is because our family business was destroyed, and our hearts are somewhat sad, and secondly, because we perceived the business opportunities on this trade route! Otherwise, where would you go to drink such fine wine?"
Someone laughed loudly: "Hahaha, Master Harvey's words are true! It's not that I mean to brag, your wine here tastes really good, at least among the wines I have drunk in the past two years, it is relatively pure and catchy!"
For a while, there was another burst of praise in the tavern, and the originally subtle tension was quickly resolved with the staggering of everyone.
Harvey smiled and bowed his head as he continued to wipe the glass in his hand.
He looks relaxed on the surface, but his heart has already been turbulent, but all these years of business have allowed him to be quiet at any time.
On such a relatively remote trade route, where there would be so many passing merchants, this is obviously a bit abnormal.
Obviously, not all the guests in this tavern were passing merchants, and among them there must have been guards sent by Fulong City.
Although he was a little nervous, he was not too worried, because his son was now a high-level wind magician, and there were two members of the Vail family in the back room of the tavern, even if something really happened at that time, he should not be worried about his life.
Now Pump Harvey has already seen a lot, he knows that his son and Dylan Green are brothers in life and death, and Donald was also involved in that dungeon rescue at that time, so he knows very well that the new king will settle accounts with their father and son sooner or later.
However, unlike in the past, the pump no longer cares so much about the quality of the family business, but more about affection.
Dylan Green has also helped the Harvey family in the past, and the pump still attaches great importance to this kindness!
Just as everyone was talking, raising their wine glasses and drinking, the door of the tavern, which had been closed, suddenly opened.
Everyone looked outside, and saw a legionnaire in a white robe standing at the door, judging from the general appearance of his robe, it seemed that he was an officer of no low status.
It's just that the sun is just right at this time, and the face is hidden in the shadows with the light on his back, and he can't see clearly.
All the merchants stopped laughing and looked curiously at the officer outside the door.
They all wondered in their hearts why there were officers of not low rank on such a remote trade route. After all, it was far from the city, and far from the barracks of the guards.
The man at the door propped up his hands and pushed the two doors open: "Irrelevant personnel, hurry up and get out of here!"
One of the merchants seemed to have a hot temper, he slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table, raised his voice and said, "Your Excellency Officer, we are just drinking here, and it doesn't seem to be in your way!"
The officer snorted, and then stepped into the tavern Zheng
At this time, everyone saw this face clearly, and saw that there was a very conspicuous scar on the man's face, which looked a little hideous.
"Again, get out of here!" As soon as the voice fell, the legs of three wooden tables in the tavern broke at the root, and the wine glasses on them fell to the ground and shattered.
At this time, most of the merchants walked to the counter with great interest, ready to settle the bill and leave.
The pump smiled and said: "Everyone, all the drinks today are counted as my treat, so you don't have to pay, I hope you can often come to take care of business in the future." ”
A few of the merchants seemed to be reluctant to leave at first, but as the guards in the tavern disguised as merchants revealed their true colors, the last few merchants could only leave the tavern in disgrace.
It didn't take long for only Pump Harvey to be left in the tavern, along with eight soldiers disguised as Shangrao, and the officer.
There was a "squeak" and the door was slammed shut.
"Let's get straight to the point, get your bastard son out of here!" the officer said unceremoniously.
The pump had a smile on his face, but he didn't reply.
Seeing that the pump didn't move, the officer snorted coldly and glanced at the three soldiers not far away.
Just as the men were about to bypass the pump and walk to the back room, they heard a "whoosh" sound, and a thick log flew out of the back room.
With a "bang", the three of them were hit together by the flying logs, and they flew out upside down at once!
