Section 71 Miller's Horse Trafficking Conceals the Sky and the Sea
With the permission of the king and the first duke, Miller and his party in the Tubes Empire were unimpeded, and the final trouble became Prince Wakas, who was stationed in the royal capital.
Vaqas is a shrewd man, and his power reigns supreme in the Empire, even with the permission of His Majesty the King, and he, Vaqass, can block the passage of convoys if he has a good reason.
After a few days of hurrying, there were no obstacles in Luo Khan's territory, and the garrison of the Imperial Fortress also knew Miller, so they naturally let him go immediately.
When the convoy arrived at Yuguan Fort again, the huge convoy immediately caught Jeffrey's attention. However, Jeffrey was more upright, and there were several truckloads of beef and mutton delivered by Pete in the convoy, and Miller sent him away with only half a cart of beef and mutton. Jeffrey hadn't eaten these beef and mutton for a long time, so he happily accepted the half of the cart and respectfully escorted the convoy out of Yuguan Fortress.
Originally, it was thought that after passing through the fortress of Yuguan, the convoy would be able to drive straight to the south of the plain, but not long after leaving Yuguan, Miller's convoy encountered Utores patrolling nearby.
There are no weak soldiers under the strong commander, and as the most powerful confidant of Prince Warkas, Utorres's caution cannot be ignored.
Seeing such a large convoy, Utores hurriedly led the guards to block their way.
Miller was a little nervous, the team had successfully returned to Knight, could it be that they would lose on this last stretch of the road?
Thinking of this, Miller hurriedly took out the token of the Prince's Mansion. Utorres was indeed a careful man, and he was most familiar with the things of the Prince's Palace. In order to check the authenticity, he took the token and carefully examined it, but he was still not at ease.
Utores ordered: "You give me a careful inspection of each carriage to see if it is all leather." ”
The guards were ordered to carry out the order, and they searched car by car, meticulously.
Soon a guard came to report: "Captain, we found several truckloads of dried beef and mutton at the back of the convoy. ”
"Huh?" Utores warily asked Miller, "What's going on?" Didn't you say that you only sold leather to sell, why did you sell a few carts of meat in turn? ”
Miller smiled and explained, "Oh, meat, that's what Master Pete gave us. If the head of the group likes it, then I will give you all these cars! ”
Utores nodded, saluted, and said, "This is what you want to give yourself, I didn't force you!" ”
Miller said with a smile: "Commander, where are you talking about this, I was going to take this to the royal capital and give it to the prince." It turns out that the head of the group likes it, so the head of the group will keep it for good, and I will go back to the duke and prepare some gifts to bring to the royal capital. ”
Utorres sneered: "Don't worry, I'll give it to the prince for you, and I won't be greedy for half of your meat." ”
After saying that, Utorres took a few steps back and looked at the tall carriage in front of him, the pile of leather on the cart was like a hill, and Utores couldn't help but sigh: "Ouch, you really have a lot of goods, no wonder you have to use six horses to pull it." ”
Miller replied with a smile: "No way, His Majesty the King asked me to pull a little more, otherwise the Imperial Ranch leather will not be piled up." ”
After hearing this, Utores said with a smile on his face: "That's right, my empire has a lot of leather. Alright, go, beware of bandits on the road. ”
After hearing this, Miller immediately ordered to drive left and right, and then turned back and replied, "Don't worry, sir, the bandits are interested in these leather talents, and this is not food." ”
Utores smiled and nodded, watching the convoy roll up in dust and disappear at the end of the road.
In order to appease Utores, one of the chief knights smiled and said, "These Knight merchants are really powerful, they even use six horses to pull goods. ”
Utorres sneered, "What's wrong with the six horses, that leather thing is worthless at all, and only they are the ones who want it." ”
The captain of the guard widened his eyes and said, "But the captain, they didn't just pull one car, judging from the size of their convoy, I estimate that there must be at least 3,000 cars." I've never seen such a big formation in my life, it's scary. ”
Utores glanced at him and said casually: "What's wrong with 3,000 cars, no one wants leather products in our empire, the price must be very cheap, even if it's 3,000 cars, it won't cost much." ”
While chatting, the two led the knights back to the royal capital camp. After the chief knight stretched out his hand and pondered for a while, he replied to Utores and said, "3,000 carts of leather, that is also a terrible cargo, at least it needs the capital of 10,000 gold coins, right?" These Knight vendors are really rich, not to mention these 3,000 carts of leather, it is estimated that it will cost a lot of gold coins just to buy those foot strength! ”
Utores listened, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly asked, "Not good! When you searched just now, did each carriage have the strength of six tall horses? ”。
The chief knight replied disappreciatively: "Of course, each one is a super carriage, and it doesn't take six horses to pull it?" Some of the cars are loaded too much, and they are pulled by eight horses! ”
Turnres was furious when he heard this, and he roared: "Rubbish, a bunch of rubbish! What kind of leather are they selling, they are obviously selling 20,000 war horses. It's so hateful, they stole 20,000 war horses from the empire right under our noses, and you don't hurry up and chase them. ”
The chief knight was Hansen, and after hearing this, he suddenly realized, and immediately picked up the horn and blew it desperately.
Soon the 500 black knights turned around and followed Hansen in a frenzied pursuit of the countless chariots and horses. Utorres urgently mobilized another 1,000 knights from the royal capital and outflanked him from another direction.
When the two teams converged, a mountain pass appeared in front of them, and suddenly the group all stopped, and the horses kept roaring loudly.
Furious, Utores hurried to the front of the group. The sight in front of him startled him, the mountain pass was full of fire, the countless leathers were burning, and a strong scorching smell was emitted all around, and everyone who was choking covered their noses and kept coughing.
Utorres ordered like crazy: "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and put out the fire for me." ”
Hansen replied anxiously: "No, Captain, there are so many piles of leather here, the fire is too fierce." And there is no place to get water around, so there is no way to extinguish the fire. ”
Utores couldn't help but scold: "Waste, a bunch of waste. ”
On the east side of the valley where the flames were burning, a huge procession of carriages galloped eastward, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the dense forest in the distance.
Apparently Miller had heightened his vigilance against Utores, leaving men on the hill to keep an eye on the barbarian army. When Miller learned that Utores had sent men to chase after him, he had the idea of blocking the valley with this method, and Miller lost more than a dozen carts of leather in this process, much to Miller's heartache.
In order to prevent accidents, Miller had to desperately urge the horse team to keep rushing east. They chose to rest while walking in the dense forest during the day, and at night they sped quickly east on the main road, running to the direction of the northern fortress of Dragon City at the nearest distance.
Utores finally made a detour through the valley to the eastern plain, where he followed the trail and continued to chase after the convoy.
The convoy was never able to outrun the Mercedes-Benz Riders, and soon Utores caught up with Miller and his party at the Ritunburg boundary. But the convoy departed quickly before their eyes, and in front of them was a great river that flowed and a broken bridge.
Utores was almost mad, he didn't expect this young Miller to be so cunning, and let him escape easily twice in a row.
Further on, it is not far from the northern fortress of Dragon City, even if they detour to find a bridge to cross the river, the hope is very slim, and when they chase after it, they are afraid that the convoy has already entered the fortress. Urtores angrily scolded everyone, and finally he had to give up the pursuit and return to the royal capital with his team.
In the palace hall of the royal capital, Utores reported the situation and presented to Warkas a letter that Miller had left on the bank of the river, along with the token of the prince's palace.
Warkas angrily opened the envelope, only to see that the letter read: "On behalf of Prince Railton and Duke Thatcher of Dragon City, I would like to thank the Prince for the pass token and the 20,000 war horses for the Tubis Empire. Miller, the royal capital, and Montpot, the lion slayer of Reesburg, worshipped together. ”
After reading the letter, Warkas laughed instead, and he said happily: "What a Miller who went to the royal capital to sell wine at the age of five, and what a lion slaughtering boy Montpot. Your trick is very exciting, I didn't expect that when the Knights were at the end of their rope, there were still so many powerful young people! ”
Wakas picked up his glass, slowly took a sip of Uba wine, and then continued to smile: "Then I also thank you for the Uba wine!" ”
After saying that, Vacas took another sip and savored it, and then continued: "Interesting, I feel that fighting with these Knight people is getting more and more interesting. ”
Varkas then sat down on the throne of the Knight king and burst out laughing, leaving Utorres at a loss.
In October 471 of the year Nether, when Miller handed over 20,000 horses and countless leathers to Dragon City, His Royal Highness the Prince and Duke Thatcher were speechless with excitement.
In order to reward Miller for his outstanding performance, His Royal Highness the Prince held a knighthood ceremony for Miller and Mompot in public. In the admiration of the people, Miller was given the title of Viscount of Knight and Montpot was made Baron Knight and both were appointed under the command of Haba, who divided their fiefs in his own domain.
After receiving a new reward, Miller and Mompot received a new mission to go to Haba's territory to help Duke Haba settle the people.
Under the joy of everyone, Miller and Mompot took 10,000 gold coins, 5,000 war horses, and the 4,000 Tubis slaves bought in Tubis to drive the chariot, as well as hundreds of carts of food raised from all over the country, and drove to the south side of the Longcheng River.
