Chapter 3 Entering the City
Two days later, Emperor Gate and Linda finally came to Pente City, looking at the twenty or thirty-meter-high city wall emperor
The door didn't feel strange but familiar, yes, he still knew something about the city
。 Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info when he was working as an intelligence officer under Dalil when he spent half a year in the city
Now, two or three years have passed, and I'm afraid his original connections in the city will not be useful
Finish.
"Emperor, is this the city of Pente?" Linda's curious voice came from the ears of the emperor, sitting
In the back seat of the bullock cart, she kept looking at the procession entering the city, "Why are there so many slaves?"
”
"Didn't I tell you before, what? Don't remember? Emperor Gate looked at the rules of the queue
Mo estimated that it would be a while before he could enter the city, so he took out a small cloth bag and prepared the silver that had been prepared in advance
The coin is stuffed into a cloth bag, and the cloth bag is stuffed until it is bulging.
"How long ago was that, how can I remember?" Linda said a little coquettishly
。
"The geographical location of the Enka Military Region is very special, the north is the country of elves, and the northeast is the demonic beasts
The infested area, and to the south is the Nineveh Empire, which has always had a small friction with the Kingdom of Tari, plus
The recent revolutionary army, it can be said that it has never been clean here. The big battle is 369, and the small battle is every day, no
There are many remnants of war in the conflict between the parties, and most of them have become slaves
Scribe. The city of Pente was the main city of the Enka Military Region, and naturally became a huge center for the slave trade
What's so strange about the fact that there are more slaves queuing up to enter the city? ”
"That's right." Linda tilted her head as if she was listening to the story.
"None of that is going to happen, Linda, what I'm going to say is important, and you have to do what I say."
The emperor suddenly became serious, which made Linda nervous.
"This city of Penta is a pool of muddy water, and after entering the city, you are not allowed to go out casually without my company, special
Don't be Dongcheng, it's full of flesh-and-blood cannibals, and if you go, I'm afraid I won't be able to save you. ”
Although the words of the emperor are a bit alarmist, they are generally correct.
"Cannibal flesh?! Is there still a monster in the city? Or maybe it's an orc? Linda clearly didn't understand
The meaning of "cannibal flesh" in the words of the emperor asked, with an incredulous expression.
"There are indeed orcs in this city of Pent, but they are not necessarily the ones who eat human flesh and blood, and there are others
It could be those with whips, swords in hand, or even roadside hawkers. Emperor Gate sneered
After a sigh, he explained to Linda again.
"You mean, the people in the east of the city are not good people?" Linda wasn't stupid and reacted quickly
Come here.
Emperor Men just nodded and didn't say anything more, and he turned around when he thought he would be in line for a while
Only to find out that it was about to be my turn to be examined.
According to the custom, the emperor stuffed the cloth bags to the soldiers who inspected them, but the soldiers did not eat this set
The old will open their luggage for inspection. Fortunately, the emperor had already thought of this and put some contraband in advance
The items were hidden near the outskirts of the city to be retrieved later, and the rest of the things were irrelevant, and they were taken away
No big deal. The soldier gave them a strange look, but let them go.
The Emperor Gate and his party entered through the East City Gate, and before they entered the gate, they heard all kinds of things coming from the city
All kinds of noise. Once inside, Linda began to look around curiously, and she found this Pent
The city was not only a distribution center for the slave trade, as the emperor said, but also a comprehensive trade center
In the center, there are many different merchants selling spices, fruits, furniture, etc., etc
In the shop, in the stall, sell their own goods. The wide streets are bustling with people, shuttling through them
There were all kinds of people, men, women, slaves, nobles, mercenaries, soldiers, and so on
This kind of situation should be enough to be called prosperous.
Linda felt like a kitten scratching at her, she was curious about these new things, but after passing by, the emperor
The intimidation of the door, she was still a lot more honest, and she obediently followed the emperor along the way and did not have any moths
Child. Emperor Men was glad to see this, at least he bought three good horses along the way.
He also taught a thief who wanted to make a move on his money bag.
Through the hustle and bustle of the east of the city, Emperor Gate and Linda came to the much cleaner west gate of the city, which is said to be the city
The West Gate is actually the gate of the inner city, which is where the nobles live. Enter here
The people are either the officers and soldiers guarding the city or the children of the nobles, and the emperor is not any of them, but he is early
I thought of a countermeasure.
Emperor Gate took out one of Count Veron's most cherished medals, handed it to Linda, and instructed, "Wait."
When the soldier asked you about your identity, you said that you were the daughter of Wei Lun and had escaped from the revolutionary army
Here we are, and I'm your bodyguard, understand? “
"Well, it's just Dimen, I'm originally Wei Lun's daughter." Linda said helplessly.
"Leave that alone, just don't say anything wrong when the time comes." Dimen didn't care about Linda's complaints, since
Gu Zidi explained.
"Hey! Next, why stand so far. The soldiers defending the city waved towards the imperial gate and shouted
。
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my young lady was frightened a few days ago and hasn't recovered, please do a lot
Haihan. After saying that, the emperor stuffed a cloth bag into each of the two guards, and the silver coins in the bag jingled
It makes a sound that the guards are very comfortable to listen to.
"It's okay, it's okay, since it happened for a reason, it doesn't matter. I just don't know who this young lady is
What son of a nobleman? After accepting the bribe, the guard naturally smiled, and his attitude couldn't help it
I have to be a little respectful.
"I am the daughter of the Count of Veron, Linda. Vinylon. Although Linda was still in the mood to complain about the emperor before
, but it's still a little nervous to act, even though she's really the daughter of Count Veron. Looked
Looking at the emperor's door, her tone was still a little trembling after forcibly calming down, and the emperor's gate on the side was really convinced
Miss, although he has long known that Linda is not good at lying, but the true part of the lie
It's all said so bluntly, he still didn't expect it. But luckily he's good at lying, just slightly
After thinking for a while, he interjected: "Miss Linda, don't worry, there will be no revolutionary army here."
”
"It turned out to be the daughter of Count Veron, no wonder, I received news not long ago that Count Veron
The territory was lost, and the count himself was killed on the spot, is it true? The guard asked curiously.
"Also, I heard that more than 20,000 people in the city died tragically in one night, and they all died with a smile on their faces
Rong, it looks terrifying, this is also true? Another guard also asked the Imperial Gate.
Hearing their words, Emperor Gate immediately made a painful and gloomy appearance and nodded slowly, Linda was a little surprised
He looked at the Emperor Gate in amazement, unable to imagine what the Emperor Gate had done at that time.
"That's true! Oh my God, that's so intoxicating, this Miss Linda is
Strong, if you change to other noble ladies, I'm afraid they will all be scared crazy. ”
Linda smiled stiffly in response to the guard's compliment.
"But routine still has to be done, and this Miss Linda can't show anything to prove herself
Things, such as family crests or something. ”
Hearing this, Linda immediately took out the medal given by the emperor, and the guard respectfully resigned himself from the horse
Linda took the medal with both hands and turned to walk into the guard behind her. Another guard saw this
The situation immediately smiled and invited Emperor Gate and Linda to the rest room of the guard to wait for a while, in the rest room
With a comfortable fur sofa and a coffee table with delicate refreshments, Linda, who was originally greedy, is now visible
There was a lot of preoccupation, most of it from the messages the guards had given her. Emperor Gate
What did the heavens do, did they kill someone? Or how many people did the emperor kill? Linda didn't want to be emperor
is in danger, and I don't want him to kill people everywhere for himself, the heavy feeling brought by this information is overwhelming
Linda was a little out of breath. She didn't want to think about the truth of these things, let alone dare to think about it, she was just confused
Confusion always surrounds her, making her unable to extricate herself.
Just as she was thinking nonsense, Emperor Gate gently held Linda's left hand with his right hand,
This made Linda's original uneasiness dissipate a lot at once, and after smiling sweetly at the emperor, Linda
Put your head on the shoulders of the emperor.
"Ah, sorry for the interruption." The guard came in and noticed the scene and said with a smile.
Seeing this, Linda immediately sat up straight, shook her head a little embarrassed, and said that it didn't matter, and the guards saw that the other party did not pursue it
After that, he bowed to Linda, then returned the medal to her and said, "Linda is small."
Sister, we have already tested the authenticity of the medals, now please follow me to get two passes through the inner city
Proof. ”
"Okay, let's go." Lindahuo stood up and walked out first, and the guards saw nothing
Nai had no choice but to quickly step forward and lead the way.
The time to make the pass is very short, but in the middle of it, you need to use a light and shadow camera to leave a video image
It's not common for things to happen, but she still suppresses her superfluous curiosity and ends the figure neatly
Photocopying of the image. Holding the golden pass with her face printed on it, Linda muttered a little in her heart:
"This is really bad, I'm much more beautiful than this, okay?" The pass of the Emperor Gate is not like Linda's though
It was extravagant, but it was also made of silver, and of course the cost of making it was paid for by the emperor.
However, this money is worth it, you must know that with this pass, you can save a lot of money from the imperial gate
Troublesome.
For example, in the future, the emperor can easily borrow a quiet courtyard.
The area of the small courtyard is not too large, but there is a small pond in the courtyard, a green meadow, and another one
Small two-storey building. The facilities in the small building are very complete, and the furniture is quite high-end, but there are them at home
Some dust accumulated, and it was clear that there were days when no one lived.
The melodious tune of the music box came from the quiet little building, and Linda hummed softly along to the tune
While taking care of this small building, looking at Linda's busy figure, Emperor Men smiled and said, "Linda,
I'm out for something and I'll be back soon, do you want me to bring anything? ”
"Well, let's bring some dessert."
