Chapter 45: Obstacles to Entering the City
After a night's rest, as the sun rose, all the members of the tribute horse team were in good spirits and ready to enter the core city of the empire in the most energetic state, showing the state of the city of Urs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoEveryone was excited, constantly checking their appearance, and even the horses were shiny.
I've come out of the carriage, and I'm dressed as a brand new guard, and although the injuries aren't completely healed, I'm still able to walk. This carriage was for Miss Catherine's entry into the city, and it would be unseemly if I relied on it any longer. The big tree is also like me, changing into a guard uniform, it seems that the whole person has a lot of temperament, plus the original figure is tall and stout, and he feels like a flag guard. In this way, under the order of Knight Steven-John, everyone drove towards the main gate of Luo Hui City.
Along the way, we moved in unison, with vendors and pedestrians stopping to watch and talk.
"Yo, which tribe is this, although the number of people is small, but this momentum is indeed very big!"
"Judging by their figures, they should be from the north, and they should be some big tribe fighting in the north. ”
"That's right, look at this tribute, there are more than a dozen boxes to say the least, they must be some rare treasures!"
In this way, in the eyes of passers-by, the group walked directly to the gate of Luo Hui City.
It's really magnificent, just looking at the city gate is several grades higher than the city of Urs. The whole inside of the door is made of heavy and hard solid wood, with iron edging, and there are many huge screws to tie the whole structure, and in the case of this door, it will take some effort for three or five people to push it open. The entire city wall is made of stone, which is about ten meters high, and the stone gaps are filled with sand and gravel rice slurry, which is extremely solid. The guards on the city wall are armed with hard crossbows and are patrolling and sentry.
"Who's ahead, stop quickly!" several heavily armed and armored guards stopped at the door, and were about to check and release.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are the tribute horse team of Urse City in the north of the Kaishi Empire, and we are here for the Empire's tribute day," after speaking, he pointed back and took out the supporting documents casually, "The following are all tributes that need to be paid in tribute, and this is a tribute letter and a letter from the city lord, please!"
The leader carefully read the tribute letter, handed it to one of them, and motioned for the other soldiers to check the horse team for a while, and said, "Please wait a moment, my lord, after all, the day of tribute is an important day, so be careful." When the receipt came, he was allowed to enter the city. Now you need to calm down and cooperate with the examination. ”
I was at the back of the line, like the countrymen entering the city, and I felt new to the whole place of Luohui City. I showed a strong interest in dressing, architectural style, and types of weapons, and even the old man selling fruit on the side of the road wanted to become an unborn master. After some curiosity, he felt that the line was still stagnant on the side of the road, so he involuntarily squeezed forward to see what was going on.
"My lord, may I ask why the receipt took so long? How could we wait so long at the door when we came all the way to pay tribute? Knight Steven grimaced, asking word by word.
Although the defender of the city was under the horse, his face was still expressionless, his nostrils were slightly open, and his face showed an expression of what can you do, and he said slowly, "This is a rule, no one can do anything, you just wait, no matter who it is, you have to wait here." ”
"How can this be reasonable," I saw that the white ghost on the side was about to be angry, and hurriedly pulled the reins of the horse, and hurriedly said to him, "Think twice, Lord Cathy, this is the capital, not our territory, so we have to keep a low profile." ”
"Hmph," he reluctantly whipped him with a horsewhip out of thin air to express the indignation in his heart, and then said to himself, "I'm afraid this Luo Huicheng is different from before." ”
As he spoke, the receipt was transmitted back by one of the guards, and after a few whispers, they prepared to open the door and let them go. But at this moment, the sound of horses galloping and passers-by shouting for attention came from behind the line. Who is so bold as to dare to ride a horse outside the capital?
A long neigh, greeted by a young man wearing a big red cloak, I saw that his legs tightened the horse's belly, his hands pulled the reins tightly, the war horse was bound by the reins, the front hooves jumped high, the whole person lay on the horse's back without moving, this stop action was even wonderful.
When the horse's head was straightened, it was clear that this person was dignified, and his body was full of male hormones, giving people an extraordinary attraction. Sure enough, this action made some of the girls next to them exclaim, and they all shouted like.
"Prince Sharif's equestrian skills are really getting better and better, and I'm ashamed of myself. The leading guard hurriedly put down his affairs, came over to assist the horses who were a little panicked, and took the opportunity to compliment.
"How can there be? With a little practice, these things will naturally not be difficult for Prince Ben. The young man was so grinning that no one paid any attention to it, and when he noticed us entering the city, he asked, "Where is this horse caravan, and why are there so many things?"
"Oh, this is the horse team of the northern town of Urs, who came to the imperial capital to pay tribute and make a pilgrimage, and they are all small places, but Prince Sharif cares about them. ”
"Oh, in the north, where my father fought, is also in the north. Urs, why is it so familiar?" the young man looked at the horse team carefully, and suddenly the corners of his eyes shrank, and a charming smile appeared on his lips, "It turns out to be him, interesting." ”
After saying that, he whipped up and walked directly to the front of the horse, and roared in a commanding voice, "Oh, isn't this Lord Theon-Casey, what kind of wind has blown you from the far and bitter cold?"
It turns out that he knows the white ghost, it seems that the white ghost has a lot of face, and there are acquaintances everywhere. However, the white ghost looked indifferent, and even a little disgusted, raised his eyebrows and didn't answer, just watched quietly.
"Why? It doesn't matter if you don't know me now, but," the young man said with a playful look on his face, "you can't forget what happened when you were a child, right?
The white ghost's palms were clenched tightly, and there was a slight anger in his eyes, but after his chest rose and fell for a while, he calmed down and smiled, "Of course, Prince Sharif is the same as when he was a child, he is infinitely beautiful, majestic, and everywhere he goes, he is like a pearl and jewel, which is eye-catching. Presumably, from now on, this city will also belong to you. ”
"That's self... Suddenly realized that he almost blurted out, and then changed his words in anger, "Naturally, it belongs to the empire, but you have become tongue-in-cheek, but this body, hahaha, I didn't expect to grow up but more... Hahaha!"
It seems that this prince deliberately came to laugh at us, and many people in the horse team felt that it was very inappropriate, and they were all angry, but because of the majesty of the capital and the false name of this prince, they did not dare to act rashly. However, the white ghost can distinguish the importance and laugh lightly. The whole caravan continued into the city, leaving behind the prince who was at ease and sarcastic.
In my heart, his somewhat chic image collapsed like this, what kind of person, and talking about other people's flaws, is not a good bird. Looking back, I saw that the white ghost frowned, and I didn't know what I was thinking.
