Chapter 4: Riverwater City
"Lord Chebman, why are you here!"
said flatteringly, just like seeing his own father.
"That slave, you said how the One-Eyed made me lose my benefits."
With Chebman's questioning, Lu Yu knew that he had made the right fight this time.
And seeing Chebman's question about Lu Yu, One-Eye suddenly became anxious, if Lu Yu was right, he would be unlucky.
"My lord, what does this slave know? You don't have to waste time with slaves! This slave knows at a glance that because he was beaten by me, he wants to attract your attention so that I don't hit him. ”
"Hmph, I'm asking this slave, are you a slave? Since you want to be a slave so much, I'll give you a chance to do this? ”
Chebman was annoyed by the man who interrupted him.
Seeing that Chebman was annoyed, and Chebman said that he would not let himself speak, if he spoke again, he might become a slave, so he dared to continue to speak, and hurriedly begged for mercy on the side.
"Adult, the little one is wrong, you bypass the villain! You slave, don't answer the questions of the adults yet."
The one-eyed said that he wanted Lu Yu to answer the question, with this fierce light in his eyes, threatening Lu Yu with his eyes, and seeing from the one-eyed eye, if he talked nonsense, he would die!
For Lu Yu, of course, he knew the threat of the one-eyed, but he had no choice, he was beaten two or three times, and he might die. So he can only give it a go, his plan has been planned for a long time, this is the only chance, if he misses it this time, next time Chebman will not necessarily listen to Lu Yu, Chebman will definitely not be wasting time on someone who has already wasted his time once. And I may not get the next chance.
"My lord, my friend was wounded by the war, although my friend was wounded, but I still took my friend with this caravan of yours, although we have all become your slaves, but at least we are alive. If each of your slaves is like me, with one wounded slave, you can at least double the size of your slaves. But taking one wounded slave will definitely make it to the end of the line, if One-Eye whips me again, there is a possibility that you will lose one wounded slave, and if One-Eye whips a little harder, you may be missing two slaves. Although some slaves were wounded, he would still recover if he was given time. My lord, do you say that the one-eyed is harming your interests? ”
As a shrewd businessman, Chebman immediately understood what Lu Yu meant. If each slave brings another injured slave, the size of their own slaves can indeed be expanded, maybe some of the injured slaves will die in the end, but there will definitely be more than these slightly injured slaves now! Thinking of the slave who was seriously injured and thrown on the battlefield to fend for himself, Chebman felt a pain in his flesh, this is all money!
After hearing Lu Yu's words, One-Eye panicked all of a sudden, and when he saw Chebman's painful expression, he knew that Chebman was moved, thinking of the consequences of Chebman's anger, his eyes looking at Lu Yu were also full of killing intent! His hand also leaned towards the long sword that rested on his waist.
"I'll Kill You"
One-eyed lifted the long sword and stabbed at Lu Yu.
And then Chebman also reacted.
"Stop, who allowed you to harm my interests"
Chebman roared angrily.
As Chebman roared, the guards on the side stopped One-Eye.
However, One-Eye was bent on killing Lu Yu, but fortunately, One-Eye's strength was not high, and he was stopped by the rest of the guards!
And Lu Yu was also frightened when the one-eyed stab came, but fortunately, Roger pulled Lu Yu back! Otherwise, he must have been hit by a sword.
"You shit, you dare to kill my slave in front of me. Someone will bind him up for me, and since I won't listen to him, go and be a slave!" ”
Chebman thundered.
When he heard Chipman's words, One-Eye was completely panicked and quickly knelt in front of Chipman.
"My lord, I was wrong, I was just carried away by anger, you can bypass me!"
"Hmph, if you don't even listen to my orders, what right do you have to beg me for mercy. Come on, pull down. ”
As Chebman finished disposing of the one-eyed, he turned around and came to Lu Yu.
"You are very good, I am very satisfied, as a slave actually thought of a good way for his master, and a slave is willing to keep his master's wealth for his master even if he is whipped, it is very good, what reward do you want."
"My lord, I want to follow you with my friends, a wise and kind master like you is too hard to find! So my friends and I hope to be your slaves and not be sold back in the city, like them. ”
Chebman was even happier when he heard the reward Lu Yu wanted!
"Haha, okay, don't worry, you can follow me in the future! I like smart people. You will be my Chebman's servants from now on, go to the carriage in front of you to help, as long as you do my good work I will not punish you!" ”
"Thank you, wise lord, and may your light shine on us forever!"
That night, with Chebman's arrangement, Lu Yu and Roger were arranged on a freight carriage, and Chebman also gave some ordinary injury medicine. So that the wounds of the two were at least treated. And the two of them are not as stinky as before, and fleas are rampant on their bodies. After Chebman had finished arranging, he gave the two of them clean clothes, although they were only the worst coarse cloth clothes, but they were better than the previous beggars who were full of gaps!
On the ninth day, Lu Yu and Roger were still dozing off in the carriage. The injuries on their bodies and the long journey during this time made the two of them exhausted, and they heard one of the guards shouting!
"The city wall, I see the city wall, I see the city wall of River Stream City, we are finally home!"
With the shouts of the guards, the entire caravan jumped with joy. And Lu Yu and Roger were also woken up!
They looked at the carriage and saw a hundred-meter-high wall on the horizon in the distance, standing on the plain, and there was a moat under the wall, and by looking at the moat, they knew that the city was built on water, and a river at least one hundred and twenty meters wide turned a bend here, and the city was built in the bend, surrounded by water on three sides.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountains runs dead horses. Although I saw the city, I still walked to the evening and arrived at the city when the city gate was about to close.
As the caravan entered the city, Lu Yu also began to observe the layout of the city, the houses were all made of stone, which seemed to be no different from the ancient buildings in Europe, and within the city gate was the largest street in the city, at least four carriages could go side by side at the same time.
There are shops on both sides of the road, and there are various signs in front of the shops, some of which are hammers, and there is the sound of iron striking in the store, and some of the signs are wooden magnums, and there is also the noise of drinking in the store. Some of the signs are scissors, and the sound of cutting cloth can be heard in the store.
From time to time, there are peasmen in rough clothes, fierce warriors in leather clothes with various weapons, and from time to time there are several aliens on the roadside. The caravan would also pass by several carriages, some of which were extravagant and engraved with esoteric runes that would appear in a variety of colors. Some of the carriages were dilapidated, looked as if they were about to fall apart at any moment, and were filled with straw.
Although Lu Yu had seen ancient European towns on TV before, he was still shocked when he faced it in person. Sure enough, it's good to cross over, if you want to go to this kind of place with ancient buildings in modern times, the price of the ticket alone makes Lu Yu's hands tremble.
As the caravan approached a mansion, he saw the porter shouting.
"Master Chebman is back."
With the shouts of the porter, servants continued to come out of the mansion to greet them.
And at this time, Lu Yu also knew that he might need to live for a long time in the future.
As the caravan reached the main entrance of the mansion, Chebman also stepped out of the carriage and entered the mansion after arranging for his men to load and unload the goods and manage the slaves.
And Lu Yu and Roger loaded and unloaded the goods with those slaves.
With the loading and unloading of goods completed, it was late at night.
Lu Yu and Roger also followed the servants into the mansion.
After entering the mansion, they heard the butler gathering all the servants, and Lu Yu and Roger came to the front yard with the servants to accept the butler's orders.
The housekeeper is a thin old man, and although he already has a lot of gray hair on his head, he is still dressed in good spirits.
With the appointment of the housekeeper, only Lu Yu and Roger did not work, and when the housekeeper ordered all the servants to disband, Lu Yu and Roger were specially left.
"Are you two the new servants of the master?"
"Yes, Mr. Butler."
"I heard that the master is very satisfied with you. As a slave, you can also make the lord unusually promote you to servants, and it seems that the lord values you very much. ”
"It's all taught by the master!"
Lu Yu said very shamelessly.
"Haha, yes, you know what your identity is, just understand how good the master is to you!"
The butler smiled and said, although he was very happy, he still taught Lu Yu and Roger what they should do as servants.
"Come with me, and I'll arrange a place for you to live."
Following the housekeeper, Lu Yu and Roger came to the place where the servants lived, and with the housekeeper's arrangement, we were assigned to one of the rooms, this is where you live, there are at least six people sleeping in each room here, but you happen to be the extra two, so this room is only occupied by the two of you, as for whether you work in the mansion or work in the workshop outside, it depends on the arrangement of the master tomorrow. Rest for now! After the butler explained some specific matters, he left.
And with the housekeeper leaving, Lu Yu and Roger also chatted.
"Lu, it's really you, it turns out that I'm still ready to be a slave! Who knows, you can turn us from slaves into servants with a few words"
Roger said happily.
"It's a trifle, but what should we do after we talk about it!"
"Indeed, we should at least plan for the future."
"Roger, can you tell me what your role is in this fight?"
"I'm the head of a mercenary group, and Silbaz Reilly is my deputy. There were more than thirty of us in all, and as you know, my best friend died, and so did all the members of my mercenary group. ”
