Chapter 588: The Way Home (I)
Carol didn't leave for long, and returned with a simple linen suit and a pair of soft armor, and he himself changed into a fine dress and wore a mercenary service that looked quite capable.
Well, if you ignore the lifebuoy around Carol's waist that was created by sitting for a long time, it would be even more like that.
Luna's gaze circled Carol's slightly bouted abdomen for a moment.
Samuel didn't dislike the clothes Carol brought, took the clothes and pushed Luna out of the room, and when he came out again, the outfit on his body was no different from Carol's, compared to the gorgeous brocade robe he wore before, Luna looked up and down at her handsome glowing uncle, and felt that it was still pleasing to the eye.
After Luna told the steward of the mercenary guild what happened after the group left, Samuel turned around and went to the comptoir, and also told the steward of the comptoir, and the group left lightly and took advantage of the night.
Now the capital has imposed a curfew, and a group of dozens of people suddenly appeared on the street in the middle of the night, which was quite eye-catching, and they were blocked by the soldiers patrolling the city before they went far.
"What are you doing?" the soldiers of the Yu Kingdom in armor stepped forward and looked at everyone vigilantly.
"This big brother, we are the people of the four crown princes. Jon stepped out of the crowd, pulled a small metal sign from his waist, handed it over, and opened his mouth with a mouthful of standard birdsong.
"What are you going to do?" the soldier of the Yu Kingdom took the sign and glanced at it, confirming that it was correct, but still frowning.
"Our Highness has worked hard to get a batch of salt, but the road is delayed, and it is estimated that it should be ...... in the second half of the night" Jon's attitude was a little obvious arrogance, and he even said that half of the words were left behind, and the rest of the content was made up by the soldier's own brain.
Originally, the soldier really wanted to interrogate a few more words when he heard this, but he was indeed pulled aside by a soldier behind him and muttered quietly, and when the two of them muttered enough, Luna and his party were naturally let go.
"Where did you come from?" Samuel asked as he looked at Jon and frowned as he grabbed Luna.
Just now he was relieved that Luna was not deeply entangled with any forces in this country, but he must not be slapped in the face every minute.
"Stole ......" Luna explained in a low voice, pursing her lips as she looked at Samuel.
"Stole ......?" Samuel opened his mouth, a sharp glint flashed in Jon's eyes, and then swept towards the members of the legation.
He's not comforted at all, is he?
Although stealing is not a felony in all countries, orcs naturally despise this kind of behavior, and even in the eyes of most orcs, the seriousness of stealing, which is infinitely close to unearned gain, is more serious than blatantly robbing by force, which is why although banditry is raging in various countries, there are few thieves.
Although the studs on Jon's ears had been removed for convenience, the remaining piercings did not prevent Samuel from discerning the identity of his attendant, an unruly, even questionable waiter.
"I'll explain to you when we get out of town, Jon is my waiter, and his character is fine. ”
Sensing that his uncle was staring at Jon's eyes unkindly, Jon, who was walking in front, looked even stiffer, and he was almost the same hand and foot, Luna grabbed Samuel's wrist, she knew that stealing was not good, but in their current situation, what means did they choose, and getting out was the right way!
Besides, if you don't steal the token, don't you want to grab it?!
"I'll settle accounts with you later!"
Samuel glared at his niece, he also knew that the token could only be stolen, but when did his niece raise this kind of person around him, he felt that after leaving the capital city safely, he must take care of his niece and said, he couldn't pull everyone around.
"Good, good. With a little perfunctory and a little helpless to appease her own uncle, Luna took two quick steps to give Jon courage.
Speaking of Jon, he is also innocent, the idea was her, the thing was stolen by Lenny's cat, and the reason why the token fell into Jon's hands is only because he is a crow, and it is more logical to take out the token.
Along the way, everyone met several groups of soldiers patrolling the city, some were good at talking, and some were not good at talking, but fortunately, there was no danger, relying on Jon's acting skills of pretending to be forced and sometimes pretending to be cowardly, all the way to the city gate.
It was much easier to get to the city gate, the four crown princes had already arranged it because of the earlier transaction with Luna, in order to be able to go out of the city to get salt at night, so Jon just took out the token and shook it in front of the Yu soldiers who came up, and the originally closed city gate was opened a gap, allowing their group to slip out smoothly.
"Did you really have salt for the four crown princes?" Samuel asked as he walked out of the city gate, taking a sharp breath of the dry air outside the gate.
"Not only the fourth crown prince, but also the people of the third and fifth crown princes will also receive salt escorted by mercenaries in the other two directions. Luna said, looking up at the two huge moons above her head.
Although she used these three people to confuse the public, she didn't think about breaking her promise, and those salts were all issued by the steward of Samuel Comptoir under the guidance of Locke and Thorpe, and the three different snow wolf country mercenary unions in the city, the three families and three groups of mercenaries were not afraid of being checked afterwards.
"Tsk, it's a big loss this time. Samuel raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows when he heard this, although he said so, the distorted smile on his face was obviously painful and happy.
"Can I make you suffer, uncle?" said Luna, smiling slyly, as she followed Locke and Thorpe in the direction of the mounts they had quietly placed outside the city.
These were all arranged by Luna before entering the capital of Yuguo, when Calombo's mind was a mess mixed up by her, and the two had just reached the so-called cooperation, so many things Calumbo turned a blind eye to, or even didn't know at all.
That is, when he went to the capital of the Feather Kingdom, Carol saw that all the beast riders who rode or pulled the cart for Luna and the mission had been replaced with new ones, so he asked.
And the reason is also ready-made, because it is forbidden for any creatures other than the Feather Clan to fly in the capital of the Feather Country, and once it is discovered, they are all going to be shot down, Luna said that she didn't want to wronged them, so she asked the steward of the Arixing Trading House in the town to take care of it temporarily.
Although Calumbo was not unsuspicious of this at the time, in order to show the sincerity of the initial cooperation between the two parties, he did not ask any more questions, allowing Luna to take advantage of a big loophole.
It's just a pity that Luna's newly built expensive beast cart was thrown away again, but it was also because of that stupid but expensive beast cart that Calombo didn't explore further.
"Ali!" Before Samuel could continue to ask, Luna let out a low cry and pounced on Ali, who had been watching over the six Flying Tiger Beasts for days.
I miss her.
