It is said that after Miller and Mompot left Dragon City with a large convoy, they detoured Nedo from the Hwaseong territory on the south side, and when they were at the border of Sunshine Waters, they did not turn to the territory of Reesburg on the north side, but parked the convoy in a small town.

In the evening, Mompot came to Miller's room and asked Miller puzzled, "Lord Miller, how long are we going to stay here, and when are we going to go to the barbarians?" ”

Miller replied very sadly: "No, we can't just pass it like this, I don't know how many barbarians will be intercepted along the way, and every level is very dangerous." ”

Montpot sighed and said, "That's not it, this task is almost impossible to complete, didn't Thatcher send us to death?" ”

Miller thought about it in his mind, he touched his chin and thought for a long time, and then he estimated it and said, "We have flour and wine, these are the good things that the Tubis people dream of, and if they can be transported to Visa, the imperial capital of the barbarians, they will definitely be sold for a good price." Coupled with the 5,000 gold coins given to us by Duke Thatcher, it was more than enough to sell 10,000 war horses. ”

Montpot sneered, "Alright, Lord Miller, the things bought and sold are definitely not the same, the question is how we can successfully complete this transaction." ”

"Hmm!" Miller nodded and said, "This is the biggest problem, you have to think of a complete plan." ”

Montpot asked slowly, "Lord Miller, you said that we should prepare some gifts for those barbarian officers and bribe them when the time comes, is this method feasible?" ”

Miller looked at Montpot seriously after listening, and then nodded slightly and said, "Well, there is only this way at present, it depends on who the other party is." If we were to encounter Borda, who slaughtered the North, they would not only take all our possessions, but also drive us to the end of the day. ”

After hearing this, Mompot panicked, and he asked in a daze, "What should I do then?" Are you familiar with the Knights of Tubis? ”

Miller shook his head and replied, "I'm not familiar with it, I just know that their Prince of Warkas is very powerful, and now he is engaged in a policy of appeasement against our Knights. ”

"A policy of appeasement?"

Miller nodded and replied, "Yes, since the barbarians slaughtered the entire Fengdu territory, the people of Knight in the other fallen territories have raised the banner of resistance, and recent riots among the people have occurred from time to time. Especially in the territory of Victorian, where farmers attack the barbarians' quarters with farm tools all day long, there are few places in the entire territory of Victorian that are peaceful. Prince Warkas was most concerned about the grain production in the Victorn Territory, and he was overwhelmed by the farmers' trouble, so now Warkas realized the importance of the people, and ordered a ban on killing ordinary people everywhere, and appeased the people of Knight to work in the fields with peace of mind. ”

"Oh!" Montpot suddenly realized: "If that's the case, then we have increased our chances of success." I think that since Warkas knows the importance of the people, he must respect the Knight caravan like us, right? ”

Miller smiled and said, "It stands to reason that if the Knight caravans are willing to send food within their empire in exchange for leather, I think Varkas should be looking forward to such a thing." Therefore, the most important thing for us at present is how to gain the trust of Waqass, without the help of Wakas, we are afraid that it will be difficult for us to reach Visa. ”

"Assist from Vacas?" , Mompot shook his head and said, "Vacas, this old fox, he is the most shrewd in the entire Tubis Empire, how can he help us." ”

"yes!" Miller got up and paced and thought: "This person is the real ruler of the Tubis Empire, and it is not so easy to get through under his nose." ”

"Well, everyone has weaknesses, and I don't believe that this Warkas is perfect," Montpot asked. ”

Miller said: "The weakness has not yet been discovered, but the prince has a hobby, which is that he is particularly fond of our wines. So I was going to get some Uba wine before I set off, so I stopped the convoy here for the time being. ”

Montpot nodded and said, "Got it!" But since the fall of Uba Town, there is not a single person left in the town, where will I get Uba wine at this time and a half? ”

Miller touched his chin and said, "In June, he sent more than a dozen carts of Uba wine to the Duke of Cologne, and this guy shouldn't have drunk it so quickly." I'm going to take a trip to the sunny waters myself and buy a few more big barrels from him. ”

"Okay!" , Mompot has a bold personality and does not hesitate to agree with Miller.

As he said he would, Miller left the town early the next morning with a few guards disguised as coachmen, and they galloped all the way to the south side of Sunshine Water City.

Among the nobles of the entire knightly kingdom, Cologne's greed and corruption are unmatched, and it is difficult to get something out of his hands.

Miller had already been mentally prepared, and he led a few people into the city of Sunny Waters and went directly to the Duke's Palace to meet Cologne. Hearing that Miller from Dragon City was visiting, Cologne came to greet him with his big fat belly and his son Spart.

Cologne used to pretend to be very respectful, and said, "Ouch, this is not our honorable Lord Miller. Didn't you do the order of His Highness the prince and go to the barbarians to sell horses? How would you be interested in coming to see me Cologne. ”

Miller's first sight of Cologne was so polite, but he was a little surprised. However, Miller was calm, and he saluted with a smile: "Dear Duke of Cologne, I, Miller, have something to ask the Duke for help today, and this is also in order to be able to sell horses smoothly, so I have to come to ask the Duke to help." ”

"Oh?" When Cologne heard this, he was excited, and he asked proudly: "What is bothering Lord Miller, and how else can I help Cologne?" ”

Miller smiled and said: "In June this year, I remember that I sent more than a dozen carts of Uba wine from Uba Town to the Duke, and now there should be a surplus in the Duke's Palace, right?" ”

Cologne nodded slightly, he didn't expect Miller to ask about the wine, which made Cologne dizzy, and he asked rhetorically, "Yes, I only drank two barrels, and the rest are in the cellar." How? Mistress Miller is greedy? ”

After speaking, Cologne stretched out his hand and patted his clothes, stretched out his hand sideways and asked: "This is easy to do, please let Lord Miller enter the mansion, and I will immediately ask someone to arrange a banquet for Lord Miller!" ”

"No, no, no!" Miller shook his hand and said, "I am not here for personal matters, I want to buy a few barrels of Uba wine from the Duke and bring them to the car, so that when the time comes, when I get into trouble with the barbarians, I can find accommodation with the barbarian officers." ”

"How many barrels?" , Cologne said very calmly: "How big it is, let alone a few big barrels, even if you want dozens of barrels, it won't be a problem." ”

I didn't expect Cologne to be so heroic, Miller said with a smile: "Okay, Lord Duke, let's make a price, I'll only need eight barrels." ”

Cologne's face sank at this time, and this notoriously stingy guy immediately changed his tone and said: "At the beginning, I only used to drink these wines for myself, and I never thought that Uba Town would fall, but now my wine is a strange commodity, and it is estimated that I am the only one in the world who still has dozens of barrels hidden here, right?" This price, hehe, definitely can't be transferred to you at the price you sold to me before. ”

"That's that!" , After working as a trader for so many years, Miller naturally understands what this means.

Cologne looked at Miller, stretched out five fingers and said, "For this price, how's that?" ”

Miller's heart was cold when he saw it, and when he sold it to him two months ago, it was only a barrel of gold coins, and when he turned around, he opened it five times the price. Miller thought about it, anyway, he brought a lot of gold coins this time, so he had to swallow his anger and said, "Okay, just five gold coins a bucket!" ”

After hearing this, Cologne sneered: "Five gold coins? Hehe, I mean fifty gold coins a bucket! ”

After listening to Cologne's words, Miller felt dizzy, and he never dreamed that Cologne would take advantage of the fire to rob at this juncture, and actually offered a sky-high price of fifty gold coins a barrel.

However, while Miller was stunned in a daze, the righteous Spartt suddenly opened his mouth and roared: "Father, are you crazy? If you still think that you are the duke of the kingdom, please give Miller twenty barrels of Uba wine for free at once, or I, Spartt, will not agree to you doing this even if I die today!" ”

Spart's roar frightened Cologne's legs and feet a little, and he squeaked and said, "You, what are you doing, scared, scared to death." ”

Spat glared at his father fiercely, and he continued to yell at the guards at the door, "What are you doing here, why don't you hurry up and carry the wine for Lord Miller." ”

The guards were so shocked that they didn't know what to do, and they all turned their eyes to Cologne.

Cologne was indeed frightened, he reached out to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Miller very embarrassed. Then he glared at Spat fiercely and said, "What, the Duke's Mansion is your decision, you can send it if you say it?" ”

Spartt was furious, he seemed to be disgusted by his father's approach, and Spartt said coldly: "For this horse sale, Dragon City has almost stripped out all of his family. I don't know what you're just talking about, I just doubt my ears. ”

Cologne sneered, he waved at the guards and said, "Okay, okay, move, move." Twenty barrels of Haba wine for Mistress Miller, not a single barrel is missing. ”

Hearing Cologne's order, the guards went down to the cellar together in panic.

Spartt had the guards get two wagons, and sure enough, they filled Miller with twenty barrels of Uba wine.

Miller said gratefully, "Oh, Lord Spartt is so proud of the kingdom, I have finally seen it today, and I thank you very much for your help." ”

Spartt replied calmly: "You're welcome, I'm also a knight of the kingdom, and seeing the kingdom fall to the way it is today, I can't sleep day and night. I hope you can succeed this time, and you must get more horses for us Knight. ”

Miller suddenly felt a heavier responsibility on his shoulders, and he replied excitedly, "I will do my best, even if it is death." ”

The two were like-minded, and they chatted happily between them, and after an hour, they reluctantly parted.

Watching Miller drive away with the carriage and horses, Spartt stood quietly at the door of the Duke's Palace, his eyes full of hope.

Cologne walked out of the Duke's palace gate, stared at Spartt for a moment, and then said mockingly, "You're an idiot, and you help Miller." If he can really sell war horses this time, no matter how many there are, then he will be our knight's hero. And you? In addition to working with Lao Tzu all day long, can you have any other talents? ”

Spartt replied in a daze: "You give me a knight order, and I promise to take the royal capital." ”

After hearing this, Cologne mocked again and again: "You haven't woken up yet, have you?" It's up to you? Who do you think you are, and you can still beat William who died in battle? You save it. ”

After saying that, Cologne threw his sleeves and left, and he was extremely disappointed in his stubborn son.
