Chapter 177: Into the City
When he was about to enter the city the next day, Yu Wuming saw Jack, who had not appeared for a long time, this one was dressed with him, a black SS uniform, but there were only two copper triangles on the left collar, but when Vivian came out, Yu Wuming was very sure that his military uniform represented a captain officer standing here.
Vivien wore a female version of the SS uniform, but the breeches were replaced by a one-step skirt, and the blouse did not have a style button like that of a man, but a suit with a small lapel, and her rank was also on the neckline, and she had three golden horizontal bars on her left collar, and a golden five-star on the horizontal bar, which was obviously a general's uniform.
The collar of the shirt was fastened, and there was an Iron Cross there, which was also very German, and the women's calfskin boots covered Vivien's calves, making her legs look very slender and straight, making people look like they had to think of something else.
"Jack, why are the three of us in the city? Captain Julian didn't send out a guard?" "Well, if you deal with something too tempting, you naturally have to find something else to distract you.
"Ahh Jack's eyes were looking around, looking for something to distract himself, just to explain it carefully to Yu Wuming.
Vivian doesn't care about them, for Jack, just a domestic servant, what are you afraid of? For Yu Wusheng, the woman is happy and self-conscious, she is eager to make herself more tempting, and naturally she is not afraid of Yu Wusheng's eyes, but now the two guys don't dare to look at her, which shows that their temptation is too strong? The effect is too good!
"How shall we go?" asked the princess.
"It's not far from the city, and it's only a matter of ten minutes on horseback. Jack said hurriedly.
"I don't want to ride a horse, it's too tiring. Vivien smiled and looked at Yu Wusheng.
"Okay, let's go by car. Yu Wuming read Vivien's smile and ran to the stables to lead the Ryoma Hummer out, and five minutes later, they were already at the gates of Karlsruhe.
The rank of major general on Vivian's collar is very useful, and the soldiers of the complete squad guarding the city gate may not necessarily see a general for ten years, let alone a female general, and the uniform with a black one-shoulder trip tells them that these three are not something they can offend, offend these black dogs, and the black dogs have a hundred thousand ways to make your life worse than death.
They suppressed their curiosity about this fast car, which could run without horses, and watched the three of them enter the city, but none of them dared to come forward and ask them about the purpose of their visit.
On the other side, among the group of people standing at the gate of the city waiting to enter the city, two men and a woman wearing magic apprentices looked enviously at the three people who entered the city directly, and a person dressed as a mercenary on the side said to the man: "Brother, do you see, the one sitting on the left side of the front row of the car is the head of our mercenary group, Your Excellency Yu Wuming." ”
"Yu Wusheng, is it the one who clashed with you?, you joined his mercenary group?" the man in the magic apprentice costume asked three questions in a row.
"That's right, brother, I joined his mercenary group, and this time I went to the border to rescue an agent team that went deep into the Angsa Empire, and our head and deputy head also joined this agent team!" Char excitedly said briefly about his participation in the border battle.
"Char, aren't you afraid that your captain will give you little shoes?" asked the girl next to the male magic apprentice.
"Sister Qili, don't worry, our head of the regiment is very good, the conflict was my problem before, our head didn't take it seriously at all, and he took care of me afterwards. Char wanted to say more, but the three of them had already reached the city gate, and they were stopped by the city gate official.
"How many people?What profession?What are you doing in the city?" The city gate officer squinted at the three people, two magic apprentices, and one junior mercenary, who should not be some unattainable master.
"Three of them, my classmate and I are all students of the Brussel School of Magic, and this is my younger brother, a mercenary of the Bauhinia Mercenary Regiment. Charlotte walked up and spoke to the gatekeeper.
"Well, what are you going to do?"
"My brother happened to be passing by here on a mission, and he came to see me, and it just so happened that I was free today, so I took him to the city gate. Charlotte bent slightly, and said to the gatekeeper, who was very useful to see that a future magician was so respectful to him.
"Okay, the three of you, pay the entrance tax of six copper coins!" The city gate official felt that he was very merciful today, and only asked them for six copper coins, which was too cheap for them, if it weren't for their respectful to themselves, how could it be the same as usual, that was twelve copper coins, as for how much money went into his pocket? The city gate official suddenly felt a little lost, you know, usually he had to put four copper coins into his pocket, but now, naturally, there are only two.
"Official, do you want to see if you can charge less? These two poor students and a poor mercenary ......."
"Hmm?......" The city gate official deliberately snorted and interrupted Charlotte's words, this magic apprentice is so eyeless!
"It's okay, it's okay! It's six copper coins!" Char didn't wait for the city gate official to speak, he had already taken out a money bag, counted six copper coins from it, and threw it into the money basket by the city gate.
Looking at the face of the city gate official, who didn't stretch much, Xia Ya counted four more copper coins and stuffed them into the hands of the city gate official: "Official, this is the money I invited a few people to drink, smile and smile!"
The city gate official's face immediately turned cloudy, and he nodded and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." He waved for them to go.
The three of them entered the city smoothly, and Charlotte said to Char, "Brother, how can you be so lavish? ”
"Brother, don't worry, our mercenary group is not one of those mercenary groups that do not enter the stream, our salary is quite high, and the subsidy for this border operation is also very high!" Char smiled at Charlotte and explained.
Yu Wuxing's car entered the city, under the guidance of Jack, he drove around to the backyard of the aristocratic administration in Karlsruhe, Jack jumped out of the car, and slapped three times on the back door, and then "pop, pop" slowly slapped twice, and soon, the door in the backyard opened, Jack whispered a few words to the person who opened the door, the one nodded, and made a gesture to everyone to invite in, regardless of whether a few people followed him, he had turned around and was in the backyard.
Yu Wuming and Vivian saw the door open, and immediately jumped out of the car, Hummer immediately followed and restored the appearance of Ryoma, the one who opened the door did not show any surprise at such a change in Hummer, Yu Wuming looked at it and said secretly in his heart, this guy has such a high concentration, he actually saw Hummer transform, and he was indifferent.
Several people entered the yard, and naturally someone took the Hummer away to take care of it, and the three of them followed this person into the stationmaster's office. The stationmaster was also wearing a black uniform, which showed that he had been carefully prepared for the meeting.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, the head of the aristocratic administration of Karlsruhe, Captain Hohenheim reports to you!" the stationmaster stepped in front of Vivien in three steps, stood upright, and reported himself to the door first.
"Captain, we don't need to be polite, let's talk about things directly, you should know the purpose of my visit today from Lieutenant Jack, tell me about the situation!" Vivien got straight to the point, sat down in the stationmaster's office chair, and asked the stationmaster, while Yu Wuming sat in the stationmaster's reception sofa, and Jack stood behind Vivian.
The stationmaster carefully looked at the positions of the three people, he already knew that this one sitting on the sofa was the main one today, and this Karlsruhe city belonged to this one, I really didn't expect him to invite the princess to stand for him in person, I really don't know what energy this one has.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, the contact person of the Prime Minister's Office in Kacheng, has returned to the imperial capital three days ago, and it seems that the Prime Minister's Office has given up its efforts to bring Kacheng into their sphere of influence. Speaking of this, the stationmaster paused, looked at Yu Wusheng who was sitting on the sofa and continued: "This should be His Excellency Count Petrovich, and the departure of the contact person of the Prime Minister's Office this time should be the reason for seeing Lord Count come back." ”
"Hehe, Linton is not the kind of person who lets go easily! The reason why this secretary of the Prime Minister's Office ran away in advance is that I am afraid that something has happened in the imperial capital! Jack, remember to check it out. Vivien did not agree with Hohenheim's judgment and asked Jack to find out what was going on with Linton.
Jack nodded, did not move, indicating that the matter was not urgent, Hohenheim continued to report: "We have checked the order to recover the Earldom of Petrovich, this order was issued from the Prime Minister's Office, and did not have the consent of the headquarters of the Management Office, therefore, the order of the Prime Minister's Office did not use a categorical order, the order only appointed Karn as the acting city lord, and he will only be officially recognized as the city lord after the Earl's disappearance has expired, or when the Earl officially returns, his appointment will automatically become invalid." ”
"This Linton still has a bit of common sense, and he didn't show his ambition easily, but it gave us a chance. ”
"I wonder what are all the opportunities of Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Hohenheim immediately offered Vivien a chance to show her intelligence.
"The reason why I entered the city with such fanfare is to tell the one in the city lord's mansion to get down from the city lord's position immediately, and take the initiative to welcome the real city lord back, otherwise!
"I'm afraid this Karn doesn't want to come down, Her Royal Highness Princess Chen Bing has been under the city for three days, Karn has not made any moves, but has secretly strengthened the defense of the city, and he has already transferred all the garrisons of several towns east of the city to Karlsruhe. Hohenheim gave a brief overview of what had been going on in the city in the past few days.
"Well, then how are we going to take back the rights here? I think Karn already knows that we're in the city at this time, right? I wonder how he's going to react?" Vivien smiled slightly, she really wanted to see this Karn's face at this time, thinking about it, it must be very bad.
Vivien was right, Karn was circling around in his office at this time, Lucas ran away, he didn't even have anyone to complain, he didn't know if Lucas ran away himself, or the Marquis Linton recruited Lucas back, anyway, there was one thing he felt, he was abandoned by the Prime Minister's Office, but he had to continue to be here, if the Prime Minister's Office could help him strongly, then, the one outside the city...... Oh, no, that Petrovich had already entered the city, just now, in a very high-profile car that would run on its own without a horse.
