Chapter 11: Tracking "People and Goods"
Horn turned around and asked the boy, "Do you want to come with me?"
The boy didn't get on her thief ship so easily, and he said bluntly, "What good do you give me?"
Horn thought for a moment, "Hmm...... High-ranking officials, wives and concubines?"
After the young man heard the phrase "wives and concubines are in groups", goosebumps were about to rise, and he was afraid that Horn would say something shocking again, so he immediately waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, okay, let's go." ”
Horn quickly jumped away from the rockery after him, and the two nimbly walked through the central garden, unwittingly touching the hall.
The candles of the ball had been extinguished, the fountains no longer gushing, the notes no longer jumping, and the colossal statue of Moore I had watched it all with cold eyes, a little pale in the cold moonlight.
On the floor of the dance floor, men and women lay on the ground, and there were overturned wine glasses everywhere, and the strong smell of wine came to the face.
The able-bodied servants were rudely carrying sacks and loading these usually pampered nobles into it.
There is a problem with alcohol.
It should be a mi-medic or something.
From the moment Horn received the invitation, he made up his mind not to touch anything in the ball.
Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, if she had drunk that wine, she would have been put into a sack now.
The two waited patiently for the servants to finish packing, and then watched as they loaded the pile of "people and goods" onto the horse-drawn wagon.
This group of people was also very cautious and really put a lot of bags of goods up, mixing real and fake, and soon formed a convoy.
Hiding in the bushes, they saw the Marquis of Jace fluttering up, graciously got into the first carriage, and led the convoy to the west gate of the lookout city.
The two looked at each other and got up.
There are a lot of gorgeous carriages parked outside the central garden, which makes it very convenient for the two to hold the horses hand-in-hand.
Because of the cargo, the Marquis Jace's convoy did not move very fast, and the two followed, maintaining a distance that would neither be detected nor thrown off.
In this era, there was no advanced equipment for anti-tracking and anti-reconnaissance, and Horn easily followed them to the West Gate.
The plague was raging outside, and the imperial capital was always strictly controlling the carriages and horses entering and leaving, for fear of bringing in something ominous.
Therefore, even in the middle of the night, the west gate of Wangcheng is still heavily guarded.
The convoy was stopped.
The soldiers defending the city shouted: "Everyone, stop! Who are you?!"
Marquis Jace personally got out of the carriage, and after showing a certain token, he said: "I am Jace Trist of the Trister family!
The soldier took the pass, and after carefully sifting through it, returned the pass to Jace, "The token is real, please pass!"
Wangcheng now has strict control over the goods that enter, and not a single fly will let you fly in casually, but for those who go out, it is very casual.
Therefore, the cargo of the convoy was not inspected and was directly released.
Marquis Jace put away the token, got into the carriage, and the west gate of the city slowly opened, and the convoy passed in an orderly manner.
It was so far away that Horn could barely see that it was a token-shaped object, and he didn't know what it was carved and which big man it belonged to.
People are out, what are they going to do?
Her identity as a broken princess, will those soldiers buy it?
Not to mention the question of whether it will be released, come forward directly, the convoy in front is not far away, and maybe it will startle the snake.
Horn glanced at the boy and said, "This city wall is a piece of cake for you, right?"
The boy looked up at the wall, which was at least 30 meters high, and said, "What do you think of me?"
The rockery and the city wall are not at the same level at all, okay!
So stop at the West City Gate?
Of course Horn doesn't want to!
She weighed the dagger in her hand, and the horse under her crotch was startled by her sudden murderous intent, and paced anxiously on the spot, animals have always been more sensitive to death than humans.
When the young man saw Horn's forcible look, he sighed: "Ah! Can you not think about killing people at every turn? Maybe there is another way!"
Horn turned around and asked, "Something else?"
The young man smiled, revealing two small tiger teeth, and the green eyes in the shadows were crooked, and he almost laughed out loud, pointing not far from the West City Gate and saying, "Na, there." ”
Horn looked in the direction he was pointing.
- A ......
Dog hole.
Horn: "......"
In extraordinary times, I was afraid that the dogs outside would come in, and this dog hole had been blocked by a large rock.
The boy thought she was going to get angry.
Thinking that she is a dignified princess, how could she do such a disrespectful thing as drilling a dog hole, or she directly broke through with a dagger.
But she didn't.
In the boy's stunned expression, Horn directly turned over and dismounted, and pushed the stone without hesitation.
I pushed it twice, but the stone didn't move.
Horn said impatiently, "Why are you stunned? Why don't you come and help?" ”
The boy let out a "tsk" in amazement, and pushed the stone away from its place with a little force.
Horn leaned down and glanced towards the hole.
After confirming that her small body could drill through, she dropped a sentence of "love does not come" and quickly got in!
She's, really, really, done!
It's different from pushing a stone, when you see her get into it, it's a feeling...... Tut.
Immediately, the young man also got in, and said as he drilled: "Horn! You have to find a way to get back into the field when I fall down, why don't you go into the dog hole without saying a word!
Horn caught up with the convoy without looking back: "Why is there so much nonsense!"
The boy was stronger than Horn, so it took a lot of effort to climb out, and by the time he got out of the dog hole, Horn was already very small.
He immediately caught up, but fortunately the convoy was not fast with the goods, so the two did not lose it.
It's not fast, it's also a horse.
The two of them passed the dog hole, but the horses before could not pass.
A two-legged one can't outrun a four-legged one.
Horn has been pampered since he was a child, and after running for a while, he was out of breath, and when he saw the convoy moving away, he looked at the young man next to him, although he was disgraced, but he was breathing evenly, and it was obvious that he was at ease.
Horn said, "Quick, carry me! Catch up, I can't run." ”
Yes...... Damn it, this damn constitution!
One more run, and Horn felt like he was going to suffocate.
How can it be so weak!
She must strengthen her exercise, and she is too off the chain at the critical moment!
The boy spoke: "By ......"
Horn interrupted him and climbed directly on his back: "High-ranking officials and concubines, wives and concubines, wine ponds and meat forests! Hurry up! It's already far away!"
The young man saw that her promises were getting more and more outrageous, so he could only resign himself to carrying her.
Since he was going to be a hostage, he would definitely not be too far away from the imperial capital, otherwise it would be troublesome to transport it at that time, so the convoy stopped about two kilometers away from Wangcheng.
They entered a farmstead where there were no roosters or dogs, apparently dealt with in advance.
The servants carried the "people and goods" out of the carriage in an orderly manner, and then moved in several of each house to hide all the "people and goods".
INTERVIEWER I think the basement used by farmers to store and the sake brewery used by farmers to become a dungeon.
The two of them hid behind the haystack in the wheat field, and the boy ran so far on his back as if he had nothing to do, and he said to the languishing Horn, "Do you want to save them now? ”
Horn was about to vomit from his jolt, and she rubbed her temples with a headache, "No, of course not now." ”
The boy asked her, "Then you ran all this way just to take a look?"
Horn gave him a blank look, "You go steal a horse, hurry up, I'll rest for a while, I'm going to die, vomit ......"
Seeing her uncomfortable appearance, the young man shook his head and said, "Oh! You can't do this kind of physique of a madman! You won't be able to experience a lot of madness!"
Horn closed her eyes, leaned on the haystack, and quickly recovered her strength, as if chanting: "High-ranking officials and concubines, groups of wives and concubines, wine ponds and meat forests, three palaces and six courtyards, piles of gold and jade, ......"
Seeing that she still had a tendency to continue, the young man couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Stop, stop, stop, I'll go!"
