Chapter 69: Into the City
In the evening of the same day, Lin Qiu and the others drove two carriages towards the steel city in the night under the grateful welcome of the villagers of Morning Dew Valley. Under the popularization of the village chief, they also have a comprehensive understanding of the steel city, in general, the east can be called a deformed country, it is different from the general aristocratic politics of Helutia, Dima's soldiers are only loyal to Dima, the aristocratic class in the royal capital is far inferior to the knights, a knight at the level of a non-commissioned officer is far more than ordinary nobles, so in such a constitution, the nobles are only a reputation at best, and they can't even form a knight order.
In the royal capital, except for a small number of nobles of the older generation and foreign merchants, most of the rest are soldiers of different ranks, and the steel city looks more like an amazingly large barracks, and it is in this way that Dima firmly maintains his iron power.
In general, the military was the first, the nobles second, and the merchants were considered to be the lowest level. So before leaving, the village chief warned Lin Qiu and others not to quarrel with the soldiers in the city.
However, the truth is often regrettable.
Because Lin Qiu had not yet entered the city, he had already had a dispute with the soldiers of Wang Cheng.
Several people parked the carriage in front of the towering entrance to the royal city. The walls of black iron enclosed an impermeable circle, covering everything in the royal city. At first glance, Lin Qiu thought that he had broken into the Attack on the Giants crew by mistake, but unfortunately they were not giants, so they couldn't observe what the scene was like in the mysterious royal city on the city wall.
And before he could speak, he was stopped by the guards.
In their opinion, Lin Qiu, these outsiders who claimed to be merchants, were too suspicious, the so-called caravan did not even have a single guard, but the merchants wore swords, and they couldn't see the fatigue of running all the way on their bodies, but those girls looked white and clean, and their outfits looked more like the deep ladies of aristocratic families.
"Honestly, what are you here for?" asked the Captain of the Guard, warily.
"They are helping me assassinate ......" Before the honest Angel finished speaking, the back of the head was hit by Lin Qiu and Ophelia. Angel had tears in her eyes and squatted down with her head in her hands.
"Don't you see? We are the merchantmen of laughter who bring joy to the whole East. Lin Qiu explained.
"I've never heard of anyone like that. Get out of the way, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, you shouldn't mind if we check your goods, right?" The guard captain's eagle-like gaze forced Lin Qiu, and his subordinates saw his eyes and surrounded the two carriages.
"Wait a minute, these goods can't be easily shown......" Lin Qiu blocked the head of the guard with his body, and his movements couldn't help but deepen the suspicion in the other party's heart.
"Get out of the way, I won't repeat it a second time!" the captain of the guard grimaced.
It can't be wrong, these two carriages definitely contain prohibited items that were smuggled into the royal capital. He took a sharp step forward, and with a flick of the broadsword in his hand, lifted the black cloth that covered the goods. Look, these are your testimonies against Prince Dima......
His victorious smile froze on his face, his face flushed for a moment, and the guards around him who tried to find out showed similar expressions.
It's so shameless! There should be such a shameless caravan!
"Fruit...... Sure enough, he is a businessman who brings happiness to people. The captain of the guard coughed lightly and covered the black cloth with him. There was also a great change in attitude: "It's really hard for you to come all the way to bring these things...... However, these things are too exciting for the people in the east, I am afraid that the two truckloads of goods will make the people in the royal city lose their breath, in order to avoid this kind of thing, we will detain the next car first. ”
As he spoke, the captain of the guard wiped away a nosebleed that betrayed his actual thoughts. Shouted at the surrounding caravans: "Don't embarrass them, everyone, these guys are veritable 'laughing merchants', open the city gates, don't embarrass them anymore!"
Lin Qiu parked one of the carriages near the guards' barracks according to the instructions of the captain of the guards, and the captain of the guards did them a great favor when he said this, and he was worried that it would be difficult to handle the goods after entering the city, so the captain of the guards who acted bravely shared a cart of goods by himself.
The rest of the car, just in time to save Zero, was able to hide her inside.
Lin Qiu drew up a plan in his heart, but when he came out, he suddenly found that Ophelia and the others had a strange teenager, and he noticed that the captain of the guard who was walking with him stiffened when he saw this smiling young man, and it took about two or three seconds to react.
The boy was dressed in rustic linen robes, and the sword at his waist looked like it had been rusting for a long time.
Instead, the young man spoke first: "Captain of the guard, what are you doing?"
"Nightmare...... We're just doing a routine inspection of the caravan!" The captain of the guard stumbled a little as he spoke.
"Oh, it's been a long time since a caravan has been in our country. ”
The young man realistically swept his gaze over the remaining carriage outside the city, and then his gaze swept over everyone, and finally stopped his gaze on Angel, who was holding his head and squatting: "Since you have the goods, there is no doubt that you should be a businessman." Recently, there have been fewer and fewer people who are willing to come to the royal capital to do business, so you should treat them well. ”
As he spoke, he passed by Lin Qiu.
"I wish you a happy business. ”
After leaving such a sentence, the young man walked quickly into the royal city.
"Into the city, into the city!" Lin Qiu didn't pay too much attention to this little episode.
So far, their plan is going very well, and the next step is to find the connector according to the location given to them by the village chief of Morning Dew Valley. Zero came out of Morningdew Valley, and after becoming Dima's guard, she had a great favor to Morningdew Valley, and the village chief said that even if there was only a glimmer of hope, the people of Morningdew Valley were willing to do their best to save Zero.
Once Lin Qiu and the others rescued Zero and transported her to the pick-up point, they didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, the connector was an old merchant in the royal capital, and he had already been familiar with the guards, so it would not be difficult to hide Zero in the goods and transport her out of the city. The difficulty is that they don't know how many guards are in charge of guarding Zero in the prison, and they not only have to rescue Zero, but they can't make much noise.
"If I'm not mistaken, the yellow mark on the back of the young man's right hand just now seems to be a magic pattern......"
When the smiling boy walked away, Judith reminded everyone.
"I know him. Angel glanced into the distance with palpitations, and was relieved to find that the other party was no longer in the distance. She didn't dare to get up just now with her head in her arms, because she was afraid that the other party would recognize her. She covered the little half of her face with her hands and said in a barely audible voice, "He's the guard next to my brother." ”
