When he returned to the camp of the escort team from the big tent of Vatur, Qin Dong held back the fire in his stomach, and reluctantly ate a piece of mutton before taking the escort on the road.

The entire cavalry of more than 50 people rushed to the outside of Saidika City in the evening, and since it was impossible to camp in the city, Qin Dong asked Batu to stay outside the city with his guards to camp in tents, and he led Liu San into the city to find a place to stay. Batu was worried about his safety, and he wanted to bring a few guards with him, Qin Dong came to Saidika this time to contact the person in charge of the Black Mist Intelligence Organization in Saidika, he didn't want Batu to know about this kind of thing, so he refused to let Batu bring someone to follow, and only brought Liu San into the city, bringing Liu San over because he wanted to hand over all the contacts of this organization to Liu San, and in the future, Liu San would be his confidential secretary, specifically responsible for intelligence collection.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, Qin Dong and Liu San rode horses and first found a tailor shop to buy two long black cloaks, covered this thing on the outside of the armor, and wrapped the whole body tightly.

The Black Mist Organization's stronghold in Saidika is located in a house next door to St. George's Church, the person in charge, Issurid, used to be a priest, and then the church was occupied by Modo, and he was driven out, Modo did not occupy the church in vain, and handed over an ownerless house next to the church to him to live in, Qin Dong originally wanted to contact Issurid when he first came to Saidika, but because the time was too hasty, there was no contact,

The two rode to the door of the house in this stronghold, dismounted and tied the horse to the side, it was a low stone house, it looked a little old, the stone of the wall showed the vicissitudes of antiquity, there was a very thick old tree in front of the door, and from the outside, there was no light in the window.

At Qin Dong's suggestion, Liu San went to knock on the door, "knock, knock, knock......" knocked several times in a row, and after three or four minutes, someone opened the door from inside.

Liu San walked back and said in a low voice: "Young master, no one!" ”

Qin Dong thought for a while and said, "Go ask the neighbors and see if this person still lives here!" ”

"Okay, young master, I'll ask!" Liu San said yes and hurriedly walked to the house next door.

It didn't take long for Liu San to walk back quickly and report: "Young master, the neighbor said that the priest may have gone out to visit the door, and I saw the priest go out with a Bible in the afternoon, so I should be able to come back tomorrow!" ”

Qin Dong didn't expect to pounce into the air, this black light is blind, and the two people can't wait here all the time with their horses, which is easy to arouse the suspicion of the Hun cavalry patrolling the city, the intelligence organization is originally mysterious, and it is not good to attract the attention of others, now I can only go back first, and come back tomorrow, he said: "In this way, let's find a hotel in the city tonight!" Come back tomorrow and go! ”

Hotels and taverns are very old businesses, just like spies and ** are one of the oldest professions, inns generally have the function of both taverns and accommodation, guests must eat and drink when staying, if there is no food and wine, business will definitely not be good.

It was already dark when I found the inn, which was a large courtyard with a tattered gray-white pennant on a flagpole at the entrance with the words tavern in Latin written on it.

The door was closed, Liu San dismounted and knocked on the door, and after a while the door did not open, but a small window opened on the door, revealing the face of a Thracian. Although the faces of Westerners are more or less the same, there are still differences between each ethnic group, and the appearance of the Thracians is different from that of other ethnic groups, and the Thracians are already a very old people in this area.

This man saw Qin Dong riding on a horse, and Liu San was also a meter or two away from the door, both of them were wrapped in cloaks, their heads were covered with hoods, the sky was too dark to see their faces clearly, so they asked, "What are you doing?" ”

Liu Sandao: "Drink, stay in the hotel!" ”

Qin Dong is very curious about this hotel, in a place like a tavern, the door is generally open to do business, the owner greets him with a smile, this shop is good, not only closes the door, but also interrogates the identity of the guests, is it true that the taverns and inns in Europe are now this kind of virtue?

This person looked at Liu San and Qin Dong again before saying, "It's okay to drink, but there is only one room in the hotel!" A horse needs 10 Ace (10 copper plates) to feed, you have two horses, that is, 20 Ace, 1 dinar (1 silver coin = 16 Ace) for one night in the room, a total of 36 Ace, drink and eat separately! ”

Liu San turned his head to look at Qin Dong, meaning to ask if he wanted to go in, Qin Dong, who was riding on a horse, nodded, Liu San turned around and took out three silver coins and handed them in and said, "Yes!" Don't look for the rest, feed our horses good feed."

"Please, please, please!" After the man took the money, he opened the door and immediately changed his smiling face, it seems that it is the same everywhere, no one does not love money.

After entering the courtyard, Qin Dong jumped off his horse, the man shouted, and a very short dwarf came out of the hut next to him and took away the two horses, and he took Qin Dong and Liu San into the tavern.

Gnomes are not uncommon in this era, mainly to live for the pleasure of people, for example, Attila has a special dwarf funny master Zeko for the ministers to laugh at his banquets, Zeko often dressed as a clown in a mixed language of Hu, Gothic, Persian, Latin, Greek, although the participants are different, but all can understand, Zeko's own life is extremely unfortunate, he was plundered by the Huns in his childhood, and later became a slave of Bulda, Bulda also married him a Hu wife. Persuaded by Edika, he switched to Attila, thus creating a conflict between the two brothers. Later, however, Attila sent him to Ravenna for diplomatic reasons in order to curry favor with Aetius. A few years later, Zeko missed his wife and fled back to the Huns, angering Attila. As a slave, he can only entertain others, not himself.

Qin Dong and Liu San entered the tavern and found that the inside of the tavern was completely different from the quiet world outside, there were oil lamps lit on every table around them, it was very noisy here, some Germanic mercenaries wearing leather armor and swords gathered around to drink and fight loudly, some were still laughing at the singing geisha who played the huqin, and some people looked like merchants passing by here, there were very few merchants, mainly how many mercenaries accounted for.

The appearance of Qin Dong and Liu San made the entire tavern quiet all of a sudden, everyone looked at them, the black cloaks on their bodies were too dazzling, no wonder they attracted the attention of these mercenaries.

Liu San was a little scared, this kind of mercenary tavern was too dangerous, the mercenaries who drank here would fight without saying a word, and it would be easy to cause casualties, Qin Dong walked in front and found a table against the counter and sat down.

The man who brought them in walked to the counter and pointed at Qin Dong and Liu San and said to a guy, "Arrange them in the third room on the second floor!" ”

"Okay!" The guy said yes and walked over and asked Qin Dong, "What do you two want?" We have beer and barbecue and bread here."

Qin Dong said: "Two beers and two barbecues!" ”

"Two silver coins!"

Liu San handed over two silver coins, and the guy took the silver coins and left, and these people in the tavern saw the faces of Qin Dong and Liu San and thought they were Huns, so they spoke noisily, but they didn't particularly care.

Beer has already appeared in this era, but in this era, beer is broken with bread, canned in water and waiting for fermentation, and then filtered out of the bread crumbs, so you can imagine how it tasted.

After the beer and barbecue were served, Qin Dong took a sip, and he almost vomited out of a sour and strange smell, but he couldn't bear to vomit it all over the place.

At this time, two more people came in from outside, Qin Dong inadvertently glanced at it, one of those two people caught his attention, that person was the official in charge of logistics who he met in Scheer when he went to see Modo in St. George's Church last time, Solka's current secretive appearance made Qin Dong very suspicious, he couldn't help but wonder if Solka was doing something unsavory here?
