"What are you looking at, sir? Come and drink, don't you like their cider the most, we have two full pots for you, you must drink them all, this is our heart! “

Charles laughed and handed himself a wine glass, and said angrily, "Wow, you guys, you guys asked for two large jugs of wine!" You're trying to kill me and divide my bounty, right? I'm not going to let you get away with it! “

The soldier deliberately made an exaggerated appearance, dancing and saying, "How could we! Isn't it only twenty dinars, and we'll do it! “

Charles glared at him angrily, stretched out his hand and said, "Where's my money!" If I have one less dinar, I will come to your house, eat and drink your food every day, and beat your children, think for yourselves. “

Charles himself burst into laughter, and the soldiers burst into laughter after him, causing the tavern attendants to poke their heads out of the steps to see what was going on.

Finally, when they finished laughing, the soldier at the back took out a big box from behind him: "My lord, this time the bounty lord gave six thousand five hundred dinars, according to the custom, we soldiers take four hundred each, you can take nine hundred." The money is here, do you count? “

Charles took a sip of the fruit wine beside him, smiled and waved his hand: "Don't count, I'm still relieved of you." Oh, why are you here, the three of them? And what about Jessica? Where have they gone? “

Bill took a bite of the bread on his plate and said a little slurred, "Oh, the three of them, you know, the three of them don't look like us bachelors, they're all draggers." No, as soon as they received the reward, they couldn't wait to go home and take care of their wives and children. They also asked us to apologize to you, saying that we will meet again in a few days, and they have a treat! As for Jessica, she doesn't really want to come to this kind of place, didn't you say you wanted her to live with you before, and we had to let Hall take her to your house, you wouldn't mind, would you? “

Charles shook his head, "Well, then leave them alone, you were right to send Jessica to me." Come, drink and drink, finally have a holiday, now you have to relax and relax, this month I feel that this person is tired. ”

When the soldiers on the side heard him say this, they all began to vomit their bitterness. Charles looked at the group of obviously deliberate ones, and couldn't say anything about them, so he smiled wryly and drank the wine in his glass, and then looked at them with his glass up.

The soldier from before took the cup from Charles's hand very neatly, refilled it with a full amount of wine, and handed it back to him. Charles watched his movements with satisfaction, smiled gratefully, and tried to grab the food on his plate only to find it empty.

"Nikolai, what the hell, aren't you going to bring your damn sausage?" A cavalryman with scars on his face and chest shouted at the Charles' movements.

"I'm going to bet with all the dinars in Guise's purse that the meat of your sausage won't be rubbed out of himself by your brother Roman, if not, then how can you explain that we have been sitting here for a long time and you still won't serve it to us! Is it that your brother is cutting his own flesh in the back, that's fine, he has too much meat! Another horseman sitting next to the cavalry shouted.

All the soldiers present and the drinkers downstairs burst into loud laughter at the joke he had told him. But the Roman they called him, a tall and stocky fat man with a ruddy face and a cheerful face. Unhappy with his joke, he snorted and yelled upstairs, "You fart! I'm on the first floor, and I can hear everything you say! I'm strong, not meaty, not fat! ”

After saying this, he said loudly in a tone that was obviously vindictive: "Nikolai, my brother, listen to me, who is an elder brother: when this bastard called Faustin is dead, we will take his meat and make sausages, and when the time comes, we will taste it to all the guests in our shop, and see if this bastard's meat is as disgusting as his bad mouth!" ”

There was a deafening burst of laughter from his powerful retort, and the soldier named Faustin stood up with a red face and shouted downstairs, "Yes, you still want to eat human flesh!" If God's old man hears you say this, he will immediately send out a burst of thunder and fire that will turn you to dust at once! When I die, I'll stand in heaven and watch you bastard suffer in Hell, and I'll go to Heaven to be blessed! ”

When Roman heard him say this, he did not quarrel with him, but reverently drew a cross on his chest, as if he was really worried that Faustin's words would come true, and he could not help but provoke another burst of laughter in the tavern.

At this moment, his brother Nikolai finally made room for it, and ordered his hired attendant to bring two large bowls full of steaming sausages, and put some on the plates of each table. And the remaining large pot was personally served by him to the second floor.

Charles stared at him, raised his glass and smiled apologetically at him, as if to signal him to forgive his subordinates for their rudeness. Nikolai shook his head absently, said a few witty words to those present, and turned away.

Charles and the others didn't eat much in order to enter the city as soon as possible this morning, and the smell of the tempting aroma of sausages was even more appetizing. They stopped the sound and swallowed the sausages in the basin with a hundred times more energy. Charles swallowed the last bite of his mouth contentedly, and even though he had eaten their sausages many times, he couldn't help but secretly admire the clever and excellent cooking methods of the brothers Roman and Nikolai every time.

Eventually, everyone was satisfied, and the energetic bunch began to brag to each other again. To Charles's surprise, their conversation slowly shifted to him. Everyone praised him in unison, and almost blew his bravery and wisdom into the sky.

The first to speak was the cavalryman who had been the first to urge the meal, and he took a large sip of wine unhurriedly, and then said in an irrefutable tone: "As you all know, I have been in the army since I was fifteen years old, and now I am twenty-seven years old, and I have been in the army for twelve years. Yes, during my days as a soldier, I participated in all kinds of battles, and I had many holes in my face and body, and then they healed again, and these scars can bear witness to my words. In other words, God did not hesitate to give me strength and courage. But I must tell you that I have never met, nor have I ever met, and have never met, such a great nobleman, knight, or warrior as Lord Charles! To put it mildly, when Lord Charles first arrived, I used to look down on him a little. But now, I'm Gise, served! ”

"If Lord Charles had been born to be a Rhodok," said Faustin beside Guise, excitedly, "he would have become a hero to us Rhodocs, and perhaps he would have been an earl!" ”

"That's right!" Bill cried out with his glass, "Let's raise our glasses and salute our most respected Lord Charles!" ”

"To Lord Charles!"

"Salute to you!"

Charles looked at their raised glasses and smiled faintly, his mind suddenly recalled that when he was first assigned to the third cavalry team, this group of people did not have this attitude towards him at all.
