9. Enter the city
These are two slender and tall women about twenty years old, both of them are thoroughly oriental faces, both have black and shiny hair, just a long hair shawl, and a short hair to the ears, but both are fair-skinned, picturesque eyebrows, one in a hundred beauties!
The two women, one left and one right, followed Ash's horses on foot, they were covered in armor like the rest of the armored infantry, these two women were the results of Ash's first step towards the path of no return to evil before leaving today, and finally couldn't hold back the darkness in his heart**, and took the first step towards the point of no return for evil.
Although these two women are extremely beautiful, their facial features are also very similar, but their temperaments are completely different, the one with long hair gives people a feeling of eleven points of enchantment and charm, a suit of armor is worn on her body, as if she is no different from wearing only a light veil, that charm can not be concealed, and another short-haired woman, but with a full of wildness and heroism, just walking on the road, you can make people deeply appreciate the wild beauty that she exudes, It's like an unruly and beautiful female leopard.
Like the rest of the soldiers, the two women also hold long swords and shields, but they are not as bulky as the rest of the soldiers, their shoulder armor and cuirass are very close-fitting, and the smaller one, without reducing the due protection ability at the same time, but also to ensure the beauty of the appearance and the dexterity of action, although the long sword on their backs is also sharp, but it is slightly shorter, lighter and thinner than the rest, very suitable for women, and the shield is not so bulky, It was a small round shield the size of only one-third of the shields in the hands of the rest of the soldiers, and they hung firmly behind the waist, and this appearance really did not have the slightest feeling of the rest of the soldiers' fierce iron blood, but it could be regarded as a different scenery in this large group of people, and it was very beautiful.
"If the master feels tired, he can ask Captain Johnson to send someone to cut down some trees, cover some branches, and make a small sedan chair waiting for the sun, and sit on it, and it won't have to be as hard as it is now."
A soft and glutinous voice came, and it was the long-haired beauty on Ash's right hand who was not flattering, and she was wiping the sweat on Ash's forehead with a hand towel with some distress, her big eyes were full of care, and she didn't remember that she was also hot enough at this time when she was fully armed and rushing on foot.
Her name is Aina, and the short-haired woman's name is Die, in the memories of the two sisters, 'Prince Ash' never suffered this kind of hardship when he was in that 'hometown' that never existed, and their twin sisters have been waiting by Ash's side since they became sensible, treating him as the top of the sky, the flesh of their hearts, seeing him ragged and sweaty at this time, where would they be willing to give up?
"That's it! If you want me to say, Johnson's stupid big guy has only been promoted to captain of the guard for a few days? I saw that he was being used in vain, and I was so dizzy with joy that I didn't even have a decent garment for my master, and for such a thing as going into the city to trade, I didn't need your master to go out in person, so he could bring some people himself? Or do you have to ask your master to suffer with him? ”
As soon as she saw her sister speak, Ai Die, who had been holding back all the way, couldn't hold her breath and complained loudly, her good-looking brows were furrowed tightly, and she glanced at Johnson who was closely behind Ash from time to time when she spoke, which made the latter extremely speechless, but the movements under her hands did not slow down at all, and a pair of dexterous little hands actually got into Ash's open collar very skillfully and wiped the sweat off his upper body.
"Okay, don't talk about it, this time I entered the city, I gave my own order, and what does it have to do with Johnson? Concentrate on the road, and when you get on the gentle avenue, you will be ordered to get on your horse, and it will be too time-consuming to walk on foot. ”
Seeing this, Ash, who was enjoying the two beauties waiting, hurriedly waved his hand to stop them from continuing to complain, as the saying goes, it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift! Where is this, I am going to sit in a sedan chair to be a young master? If he really wants to enjoy it all the time, after a long time, he is not afraid of the fatigue of his subordinates, he is afraid that he will be one step ahead, and he still wants to break out of the world in this world, how can he be so early**?
As soon as Ash said this, the second daughter naturally wouldn't say anything again, so she had to look at Ash with a distressed expression on her face while silently rushing to the road.
In other words, women's physical strength and endurance, after all, are a little behind men, from the departure to the present, it has been more than two hours, and the same is fully armed, many soldiers in the team are all breathing smoothly, without any sense of exhaustion, at most because of the hot weather and leave a little sweat, but Aina and Adie The two women are not so relaxed, I saw that although they didn't say it, they had been wet with sweat, their silky hair stuck to their foreheads, panting, and they looked tired.
This also made Ash feel good, saying that the two axles of villager No. 1 and villager No. 2 were busy all day without showing a trace of tiredness, and Aina and Die's two daughters had only been on the road for two hours, and they were tired like this, is there really so much difference between male and female units?
In fact, Ash thought badly about this, those soldiers, including those villagers in the base, are not really tireless, but they are much stronger than ordinary people in terms of physical strength and spirit, and even if they are tired, for the sake of Ash, the master, they will not call even a sound, not to mention that Ash does not treat them as human beings, and will always order them to rest at the right time.
It's just that women are different.,Women.,In front of people close to you.,It's inevitable that there will be some coquettish weakness.,To say that Aina and Adie at this time are really too tired to walk.,That's impossible.,To talk about their marching and fighting,The system is the same.,They are not even a point worse than those male soldiers.,That is, Ash is here now.,They show their weak side without any scruples.,The steps that should have been taken in one step are about to take two steps.,Even the small body movements have become sluggish., That means 'you see that even we are so tired, master, you should feel sorry for yourself, find a place to rest'.
It's not that the two of them are lazy and deliberately delay the journey, but mainly looking at Ash's appearance, they are always a little unhappy in their hearts, in their hearts, what plan, what deal, is not as important as their own master, if they are singled out, it may be faster than a donkey.
Ash, who has not been with the second daughter for a long time, naturally does not understand their true thoughts at this time, only if his guess is correct, but there is no trace of unpleasant thoughts, after all, there are two women under his hands in the future, and it is more convenient to do some chores in life. Is there a rich merchant who doesn't have two maids by his side...... Well, Ash admits that these are excuses, but he just thinks it's the price of his evil thoughts, eye-catching, and warm-up...... Ahem, he has no regrets about the appearance of Aina and Adie, and he is willing to ......
Ash's 'army' of fifty men walked under the scorching sun, and God favored them, and after half an hour, a gray cloud finally drifted from the sky, covering the corner of the scorching sun, making the hot weather a little cooler, and at this time, they finally left the rugged path and came to the wide and smooth official road.
This kind of road, no matter how bad the equestrian skills of the soldiers were, they would not fall off their horses and fall, Ash decisively ordered everyone to turn over their horses, slightly increase the speed of their horses, and hurried in the direction of Fit City.
It's just that even so, Ash didn't dare to run with all his might, because the equestrian skills of this group of soldiers who were defined by the system as 'armored infantry' were really not flattering, even if most of them had been trained by themselves in the base for a long time, but their current performance was the same as Aina and Adie's, and they really didn't have any talent, and I was afraid that they would regress after practicing for a long time...... So three hours later, when the sun was about to disappear over the western horizon, Ash led the crowd to the gates of Fit.
It was the first time for Ash to come here, and he saw that this Fit City had a high and thick bluestone wall, looking at the farthest end of the city wall that could be hidden behind the dense forest, the scale of this city was really not small, how could it be compared to the size of half of the third-tier city in the previous life, and from a distance, he saw a team of soldiers in silver armor and spears standing at the gate of the city.
Waving his hand to slow everyone down, and then all turned over and dismounted, Ash counted the number of people and goods again, and led everyone to the city gate.
"Stop, what are you doing?"
A soldier who looked like a captain at the gate of the city couldn't help but feel a little wary in his eyes when he saw that such a large group of people suddenly came before nightfall, especially when he saw that this group of people were all soldiers in bright armor, and the leader was a young man in rags, the wariness in his eyes was even stronger.
"My lord, we are merchants from Pasasun, walking along the official road along the way, passing through the city, and want to go in and do some business, you see, these horses are all goods we carry, you can check them at will."
Ash, who knew that his image was very bad at this time, did not respond, but Aina, who was on his right, took a step forward and walked in front of the captain of the city guard, and said with a smile, and at the same time, a small bag full of silver coins was quietly stuffed into the other party's hand.
After many inquiries before, Ash already knew that as long as the locals were born in Verte, they all had identity documents, and identity documents would be used whether they were entering and leaving the city or buying a house and doing business, and foreigners without identity documents, as long as they entered through official channels, would also have temporary warrants, otherwise without these, it would be difficult to move an inch in the Verte Empire.
Of course, there are exceptions to everything, and there is a group of people, although the official people are not allowed, but except for the capital city of Vertes, where His Majesty the King sits, they can still freely enter and exit every city of the empire, and will not incur the blow of the official government, that is, in order to avoid paying a large amount of transit fees, and the smuggling merchants who smuggle in from abroad, such people, often stuff some 'road fees' into the soldiers guarding the city, and they can easily enter, which has become an unwritten rule in various places.
In fact, in addition to weapons, food, clothing, daily necessities and other necessities, as well as some gadgets of low value, the entire Verte Empire, and even the entire New Yucca Continent, the rest of the sources of goods are often bought through these smuggling merchants.
Because similar to those antiques, treasures, high-end silk fabrics, luxury goods, if you buy from a serious merchant, because of various taxes, the price is very expensive, but in the smuggling merchant, there is no such cost, you can buy it at an acceptable price, and even now, there are almost few serious merchants who will sell these things thanklessly, for the only source of trade for this kind of items, the official is naturally blind to it--- as long as you just buy, Don't sell what you have in your hands to them.
The captain of the city guard lit up his eyes as soon as he saw Aina, and then he actually blushed a little, no way, he had never seen a few beautiful and special women like Aina.
It's just that this city gate is not just beautiful to be able to enter, and after checking the bag in his hand, the captain of the city guard looked a little hesitant, and cast a suspicious gaze on Ash, who was dressed in rags not far away.
Seeing this, Aina naturally didn't understand what the other party was thinking, and hurriedly said: "This lord, this is my young master, the reason why he is like this is actually because of our carelessness, he was kidnapped by the robbers once, and it wasn't until two days ago that we lost a lot of people and horses to rescue him, by the way, we also rescued a person at that time, and I brought him here." ”
As she spoke, Aina turned back to Adie and glanced at her, who immediately turned around and walked back into the group, dragged out Kazik, who was supported by two soldiers, and whispered in her ear: "Remember what I taught you before, if you say something wrong, I will break your legs!" ”
Little Kazik, who had already seen the power of this beautiful sister, could not resist this intimidation, nodded hurriedly, and then let the other party drag him over.
"Look, my lord, this is the person we rescued, he has a family in the city, see if you can find a way to contact us, so as to prove that we are not bad people......
As soon as Aina saw Kazik coming, she smiled and said to the captain, but she didn't expect the captain's eyes to widen and say, "You...... Are you a card ...... Master Kazik? ”
