Taking advantage of the current road conditions, Luo Ming hurried to the road, and after five days, he arrived at the border between the Duchy of Lothar and the Anson Empire, the city of Motme.

His chariots and horses were so gorgeous that he knew at a glance that he must have been rich.

But the guards who followed the car were much more intimidating than tempting, and along the way they encountered only one robbery - a rebel army, not an ordinary robber.

There were about seventy or eighty people in that group of rebels, and they had a bit of discipline when they acted, they knew how to detect and outflank, and their equipment was much stronger than that of ordinary thieves, and the degree of threat was not ordinarily high.

But they also have no shortage of vision and judgment.

They followed Luo Ming's team for a while, and found that they were always heavily guarded, but finally did not attack, but gave up and left.

Even if Lormine and Grant didn't show up, and the Vanchy Iron Guard didn't show their superior strength, on the surface, they would have to pay at least half of the casualties if they wanted to nibble on this team.

They are no longer soldiers, but have become bandits seeking wealth, and only by living can they continue to make money, so naturally they are not interested in this kind of hard bones.

This time, Luo Ming did not lead the team to the secret path in the forest again, but walked through the main gate in a dignified manner.

One is of course to prevent the secret from being exposed, and the other is that it is not necessary.

The trail itself can accommodate a small number of people, and if you smuggle or sneak out of there, you can endure it.

But now that Luo Ming is on a trip, he is a nobleman, and he is above board, and there is obviously no need to endure the narrow and rough road conditions and make himself disgraced.

Speaking of which, Luo Ming came to this world, met Liz, killed people to save Liz, and then escaped from the empire, which is the end of the Duchy calendar in 981.

And now it is only the end of the year 984 of the Principality calendar, and it will only be three years since the full battle, and maybe the original wanted and bounty have not been revoked.

But what if there is no revocation?

Generally speaking, no one would associate a great nobleman with many guards with the white-clothed murderer of three years ago, and the mere suspicion of it would be a serious disrespect.

If a nobleman is offended in this way, it is not uncommon for him to kill people in the street even if he is angry—with this reasonable and legal excuse, he does not even have to pay a fine to kill a commoner.

Not to mention the great nobles, even a free citizen may ask the other party for a duel because of such an insult.

In some areas, duels are commonplace, and hundreds or thousands of people die in duels every year because of quarrels, which are not all nobles, and more than ninety percent of them are civilians.

A poet of common origin wrote in response to this trend: "If anyone opens his unobstructed hole (mouth) and spews out a sound that makes people angry, then hold your sword, let his blood gush out, and wash away his foul-smelling words." ”

Even if someone really noticed the truth that Luo Ming was the wanted criminal back then, would they dare to provoke a big nobleman for that reward?

The aristocracy was originally the ruling class, and in the face of the accusations of the commoners, it was not difficult to reverse black and white, and they would not know how to die when the time came.

For the sake of their lives, most people will probably pretend not to see it, at best, they are secretly tipping off the Plant family.

With sufficient strength as a guarantee, Luo Ming didn't care about these little things at all, the Plant family would know the news of his arrival sooner or later anyway, but he had made up his mind to show up openly from the beginning, and he never planned to hide.

The Count of Monte Cristo appears under a pseudonym because his enemies are powerful and he does not have enough force to protect himself.

But Login, the Earl of Schönbrunn, was different.

As a result, it was even smoother than Luo Ming expected.

Maybe it was because of Luo Ming's luxurious lineup, the imperial guards guarding the checkpoint didn't carefully inspect his carriage, and let him go directly.

Of course, these guards were not so lax that they turned a blind eye to the elite soldiers brought by Luo Ming, and they sent someone to guide the way and took Luo Ming and his party to the inn to rest.

Nominally a guide, at the same time, this person is also estimated to be responsible for keeping an eye on him.

The guards basically didn't suspect that he was a smuggling group - where did the smuggling group have such boldness, such strong financial resources and unhurried bearing, and could pretend to be a big nobleman with such fanfare?

At best, they pretend to be petty nobles, which is the limit.

As for the nobles themselves carrying a little contraband and controlled goods, it was a trifle.

Of course, occasionally I will encounter poor and crazy aristocrats who pull down their faces and engage in smuggling in person, bringing more than a dozen carts of contraband to cross the customs at a time...... At that time, the guards will take care of it, and if they don't care about it, it will be obvious dereliction of duty, and there will be other nobles to support them at that time.

Because trade is dominated by the local aristocracy, the smuggling of bulk commodities is to the detriment of the collective interests of the local aristocracy.

But Luo Ming has a total of four carriages, and it seems that he can't stuff many private goods into it, so naturally there is no problem.

But on the contrary, they were more afraid that Luo Ming would bring such a team of elite soldiers, not just for the sake of arranging and self-defense, but also for other attempts.

For example, if Luo Ming plans to seek revenge in Motme City, and specially brings this group of elite soldiers to fight with others, it will definitely cause a lot of chaos, and the guards will not escape the blame.

But it is impossible for them to turn away a big nobleman like Luo Ming casually, otherwise they will really make him angry, and directly let his subordinates break through violently, and it is the guards themselves who suffer.

Therefore, the final solution of the guards was to respectfully invite Luo Ming into the city, and then send people to keep an eye on them as much as possible to avoid making trouble.

Luo Ming and his party stayed here for one night, doing nothing but greeting a few nobles politely, and the next morning, they continued their journey.

There are not many unusual things about this city for today's Romín.

It's already snowing lightly today, and the road conditions will only get worse if you delay any longer, so even if you want to see the scenery and buy souvenirs, you can do it on the way back.

The guards quietly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the convoy leave, which made Luo Ming laugh.

Of course, there are some insignificant undercurrents that are starting to surge.

In the tavern, the thin young man looked at a yellowed bounty notice, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.

In the slum, a middle-aged woman with a veil quietly pulled out a black crystal......

But all this can't affect Luo Ming's smooth itinerary.
