Chapter 211: Departure

A week passed quickly, and early in the morning, AndrΓ© Ucho returned to the inn where Viscount Bernabo was, and he looked like he had been through a lot.

"You're back just in time, boy, come with me."

As soon as he pushed the door open, Andrei Ucho heard Giannotto's voice, patted the wind and sand on his body, and he came to the table,

"Let me drink saliva first, I'll be exhausted along the way."

"Goo-goo-goo" took a few big mouthfuls of white water, which made Andrea Ucho feel better, and he came to Giannotto,

"Is there anything I need help with?"

Follow Giannotto to the stables, where there are several ponies with holsters on them,

"We're going to put some of the Viscount's stuff on it, and you can come over and get a hand."

In the blink of an eye, Andrea Ucho was shocked,

"So much? Did the Viscount go on vacation? ”

Giannotto's hand kept moving,

"This is the Viscount's habit, you don't have to ask so much, just follow me to do things."

"But it's going to be a lot of stress on our trip, and you don't know, I'm going to get to the Brona Pass with a lot of bandits, and if we still have so much cargo with us, we won't be able to get to Trento safely, we're looking for death."

Giannotto paused, and looked up, his eyes full of seriousness.

"This is a problem."

The smell of war spread to all corners of the continent early, and the Broner Pass was the main transportation route from the Eastern Alps to the Tyrolean region, so there were many merchants here, and it was easy to attract the attention of bandits.

"I'm going to talk to Lord Viscount, you come with me and I'm going to explain the details to Lord Viscount."

Giannotto actually felt that something was wrong for a long time, this week, Innsbruck City is also panicked, the flow of people is obviously a lot more than before, many new faces who don't know have appeared in front of him in the past few days, I can't help but say that this is a trend,

In addition, when Andrei Ucho came in just now, there were obvious dark blood stains on the arrow, which made him even more convinced of the level of insecurity on the road, it can be imagined that even Andrei Ucho, who had no property, would be stopped and robbed, and if they set off with a large number of goods, it would be easier to encounter danger.

"Lord Viscount, the current situation is very dangerous, we must either increase the number of personnel, or reduce the quantity of goods, otherwise I will not be able to set off with Your Excellency's team, it is very unsafe for me, of course, for you." m.

"Relax, Gianoto, relax, I don't know where you got the news, but my friend in the city, a very respectable gentleman, has spoken to me about it, and he is optimistic about the current situation, and you don't want to mess yourself up with something that doesn't exist."

When Andrea Ucho came in, he saw the two arguing, and when he saw Andrea Ucho coming in, Bernabo's eyes lit up and beckoned to him.

"Andrei Ucho, you're just in time, talk to Giannotto for me, he's worried about his fate, but you know we're going to be able to get off the road, right?"

Bernabo hoped that Andreu Ucho would be on his side to convince Giannotto, for whom the departure of Giannotto was a very heavy loss when he was about to leave, but he was reluctant to accept the goods, because it would make him a fortune.

"Unfortunately, Lord Viscount, I also think the situation is very dangerous, the number of bandits is increasing, this is no joke, I think we have to make adjustments."

Seeing that the two major forces of the team said this, Viscount Bernabo was also silent, Rao was reluctant, he had to make a decision now, no matter what he did, he needed to say a way.

"In this way, I will add an additional 100 gold ducats to each of you for the bounty of this operation, such conditions are not bad, right?"

Ducat, they have also heard of it, although it is still more popular in Florence here, but the name of the Venetian Ducate gold coin has gradually spread throughout the Mediterranean world, because of its characteristics that can be circulated in the Roman Empire, coupled with the official acceptance of the Roman Empire, the Ducate gold coin is still a hard currency in the Mediterranean world.

Seeing that Giannotto still had a gloomy face and did not speak, Viscount Bernabo gritted his teeth again,

"Well, add two hundred ducats per person, that's my last condition, if you don't think it's okay again, we'll go our separate ways."

Giannotto sighed, didn't say yes or no, turned around and went to the backyard, and continued to prepare for the previous work.

Andrea Ucho was dumbfounded, not even noticing that Viscount Bernabo's gaze had already looked at him,

"Do you have any questions? If you are not satisfied with this result, we can also discuss. ”

Although it was a discussion, the dangerous look in Viscount Bernabo's eyes clearly showed that if Andreu Ucho dared not be obedient, the Viscount would not care if he stayed or not.

"No... No, Lord Viscount, I'm the same as Gianoto, I... I'm going to help. ”

Andrei Ucho hurriedly responded, but he felt a trace of unreality in his heart, came behind the busy Giannotto, looked at the other party's back, and he approached the other party's side,

"Giannotto, why don't you explain it to the viscount? There is absolutely no falsity in what I said, the number of bandits on the road has indeed increased a lot, and along the way, I have encountered almost ten times more robberies than a year ago, don't you feel worried about this at all? ”

Giannotto put down his work, stood up and looked at Andrea Ucho, his eyes calm and unforgiving,

"All I know is that if I can't find a job, my creditors will come to my door and destroy my family completely, I can't stand such a thing, what else in this world is not risky? Isn't there a danger in going to war? Now that I have decided to go to war, I have to do something about it. ”

It has to be said that Giannotto's words are very much in line with the view of a pragmatist, that the spirit of adventure is not just the preserve of sailors, and that it cannot be said that people in the interior lack the spirit of adventure.

Led by Giannotto, although Andrea Ucho felt a little uneasy, the departure of the procession was not delayed in the slightest, and the procession that set out on schedule with three carriages, a total of twelve pack horses and three excellent war horses, stood at the gates of the city, causing the merchants to come and go without stopping onlookers, while Viscount Bernabo was talking to his so-called friend, the Governor of Intar, who was a noble but unfamiliar city,

"Thank you God and for the great Emperor for giving me a place to dwell, I feel like I am at home during these days in Innsbruck, and how enviable your good qualities are you, as the ruler of His Majesty the Emperor in Innsbruck, and the humility and generosity of the citizens of the city, show how enviable your good qualities are..."

Andrea Ucho was bored on the sidelines, a lot of nonsense that didn't have any nutrients, but as foils, he and Giannotto had to listen to this long paragraph in its entirety, and in his opinion, it was better to really provide them with some convenience.

For example... Slash their fees at the inn?

Andrea Ucho thought so inwardly, though he knew it was impossible.

The procession that departed from the inn early in the morning, however, did not leave until the church bell rang during the afternoon prayer, and it was a three-hour narrative from the morning service to the afternoon prayer, highlighting Bernabo's identity at the same time, it can also be seen that some of the etiquette is strict, and it takes time to complete the things about the ceremony.

Finally, after setting off, the team began to move forward slowly, because there was more goods, so they also hired a few long-term workers to prepare for loading and unloading the goods, but it is conceivable that if you count on these people as combat strength, it is completely overthinking, maybe they will leave at the beginning.

"It's starting to get dark, Giannotto, when are we going to stop?"

The viscount wiped the sweat from his face, although he was riding on a horse, but the sweat was like the source of the Danube, and he couldn't stop it.

Look at the sky, and look at the surrounding terrain, there are some plants, but they are getting more and more sparse and short, and the stony land is getting more and more, and it doesn't look like a good place to camp.

"If we proceed at this rate, we will not be able to reach the Bronne Pass until tomorrow, and if we reach Trento, it will be at least a week away, Your Excellency, Viscount."

Giannotto honestly told Bernabo about the situation, he was not willing to take this responsibility, the viscount said to stop, he stopped, as long as the place was safe.

Hearing Giannotto's explanation, Bernabo nodded, indicating that he knew,

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it's a little longer, the war on the front line won't end in a while, and we're not in a hurry at this time."

Since the viscount himself doesn't care, then Giannotto won't force it,

"Yes, I'll find a slightly safer place to set up camp, I've seen some traces of man-made along the way, but fortunately it's not too far from Innsbruck City, and no bandits should dare to come here to spread wild."

Saying this, Giannotto motioned for Andrea Ucho to stop and come to the Viscount,

"You're in charge of keeping the viscount safe, I'll take a look at the surrounding terrain, and then we'll decide where to camp, remember, protect the viscount."

Some people died, but not completely......
