Chapter 111
"Your Excellency, it seems that there is something wrong with your actions, we came here first. The other party saw Char interject him, with a dissatisfied expression on his face, this person was about thirty years old, relatively short and thin, but he looked very sturdy, wearing a winter leather robe, with an emerald gemstone ring on his thumb, and the two whiskers on his lips were cleanly built, but his eyes were a little darker.
Char looked at this guy and smiled: "It's all out of the house, since you don't seem to want to have a room, then you might as well let it go to me, anyway, there are three of us, and one yard is enough to live." ”
Let's say it, Char gave Soyte a direct look, Soyt immediately took out a gold coin from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper, the boss took it with both hands, his face was full of joy, and he was about to respond, but suddenly he saw the faces of those Lantis people next to him who sank to the extreme, and couldn't help but hesitate.
"Your Excellency. The other of the two Landis men who were discussing with the boss spoke, with a kind smile on his face, a little chubby and a somewhat friendly look, dressed more carefully than the other thin man, the collar of the silk gown lined under the leather robe was exposed, he carried a horsewhip in his hand, shook it casually, and smiled: " Anyway, after all, we talked first, our number is a little larger, this yard is not enough to live, but it is also settled first, just ask the boss to find a way to vacate two more rooms...... Look, are you looking for another one?"
As he spoke, he suddenly stretched out his hand, and gently took the gold coin from the boss's hand, although his movements seemed random, but the shot was very fast, his fingers were clamped, the boss had not come to his senses, the gold coin had already reached his hand, this man with a smile on his face, stuffed the gold coin back into Soyt's hand.
Char's heart moved, and he couldn't help but be a little curious: this guy's action of taking out money is so quick, if he goes to do Goldfinger, he won't starve to death!
Char snorted, he looked at the two of them coldly - he didn't have much of a good impression of the Landis people in his heart, and frowned and glanced at the boss: "The store is yours, what do you say?"
The boss saw that Char and the others were dressed luxuriously and generous, so he was naturally willing to rent the house to Char, but there were many people in Lantis next to him, and he didn't dare to offend, so he was a little embarrassed for a while.
At this moment, among the few Landis people sitting next to him, two tall people stood up, with anger on their faces, snorted heavily, deliberately bumped into Char, and said loudly: "Where did you come from, don't you know the truth of coming first and coming first!"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand and was about to push Char, Char has been in Wildfire Town for many years, what arrogant and domineering person has never seen it? Secretly laughing in his heart, he deliberately stood there, letting the other party's hand push on his chest, the man hit hard, but Char didn't move at all as if his feet were rooted, and he heard Char laugh and said, "Speak and speak, do you move roughly?"
He twisted the other party's wrist at will, twisted it slightly, the man suddenly screamed, and Char twisted his wrist over, ouch and knelt down twice, Char was not polite, and as soon as he gave it away, the man fell back and sat on the stool, Char turned his head and put the gold coin back in the boss's hand: "That's it, I want that yard." ”
Seeing that Char was so arrogant, the rest of the Landis people were suddenly furious, and they all slapped the table and stood up, glaring angrily at Char, Char was not afraid, but with a sneer on his face, a trace of evil flashed in his eyes.
The leader of the two Landisians, the fat and the thin, looked at each other, and the thin man shouted, "What are you doing when you all stand up, sit back honestly!", the fat man looked at Char, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Okay, in that case, we won't argue with you." They are all away from home, seeking wealth rather than anger. ”
The man endured it, and Char didn't talk nonsense with them, so he strode inside, and then Soyt and Dotara beckoned the boss to come and help clean up, and called the young man in the shop to lead the horses outside to the back and feed them carefully.
Although those Landis people were annoyed, but the leader spoke, and he could only endure it, the fat man saw that the guy had led the horses of Char and others, and his eyes lit up at that time, the war horses in this army were naturally very different from ordinary horses, and there was also the imprint of military horses on the back of the horses, people with a little experience could see it at a glance, not to mention that those guys helped carry the baggage of Char and others, the burden was heavy, and it was obviously very difficult to carry, and there was a clanging sound during the handling, obviously it was not wrapped in iron or something like armor, thinking of Char's ability, and the other party was immediately expected to be afraid that the other party was only afraid of being a person in the Byzantine army。
The two looked at each other, then walked to the side of their companions, and looked at one of these Landis warriors, this person was in his twenties, and his clothes were no different from the other Landis people around him, but sitting there, he was surrounded by him in the middle, and he glanced at this person, and he didn't say much, the young man smiled faintly, nodded, and the two suddenly understood: "Let's go!"
At this time, the boss came over, he had already put away the gold coins given by Char, with joy on his face, a little cunning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "A few guests, our city has recently been celebrating the founding of the city, but I am afraid that the hotels in the whole city are full, and you will not be able to find a place to stay if you go to other houses...... Well, if you don't dislike it, there are still a few rooms behind my store, but they are slightly dilapidated, originally piled up with firewood, grass and sundries, if you don't dislike it, I will immediately ask someone to clean it out, and it is a hundred times better than sleeping in the open. I see you still have a few cartloads of goods, and you can barely stop the car in the yard, but this is the price......"
The thin man was furious: "Why didn't you say it just now!
The boss didn't say it just now, but he deliberately took the heat and wanted to raise the price, which was also a means of doing business.
The fat man grabbed his companion and looked at the young man in the group of samurai, but the young man was silent, and then the fat man said, "Okay!
After speaking, he took out two silver coins and put them on the table: "Get some more food and send them over." ”
The boss quickly took the money and went down happily.
※※※ The courtyard where Char lived was quite clean, and the room was well furnished, he rested casually for a while, and came to the courtyard to take a look, the courtyard of this residence is not big, and the courtyard wall is only as high as a person's chest, but he saw the courtyard next door, which was originally the firewood warehouse of this hotel, has been emptied at the moment, and the group of Landis people lived in, the courtyard next door was slightly larger, and several carts were pushed into the yard, and the cart was loaded slowly, and the barrels and wooden boxes were tied up and covered with large canvases. The Landis were busy pulling the horses down.
Char couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene, and he couldn't imagine that these Landis people still lived in and became neighbors.
Looking, the fat man among the Lantis walked out of the room, and saw Char standing next to the courtyard wall, he was stunned for a moment, and then he came up with a smile on his face, and the two nodded to each other across the wall, and the fat man smiled, as if he had forgotten the matter of snatching the room just now, so he casually greeted: "This gentleman, also in a hurry?"
"North. Char replied vaguely, and asked rhetorically, "You are from Landis, right?"
The fat man laughed: "Yes, we are from the sea." ”
Char squinted at a few big carts in the other party's yard, pointed, and asked casually, "Are you a merchant group, where are you going to sell the goods?"
The smile on the fat man's face seemed to be a standard businessman, and he said kindly: "We are from the Gallens Chamber of Commerce, and we have got some goods this time, and we are preparing to send them to the south." Alas, it's just to make some hard-earned money, otherwise who wants to go out and walk around in such a cold winter. ”
Char nodded: "Gallens, I've heard of this name. "I remember that on the black street of Wildfire Town, there is a store of the Gallens Chamber of Commerce, which is also quite famous on the mainland.
The fat man seemed to be very good at dealing with each other, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic: "My name is Gu Luo, but I am a little deacon, I don't know what Your Excellency is called? ”
"Well, my name is Char. Char replied casually: "I am also going to the south." ”
Probably because of Ruhr's relationship, Char will have a good impression of the fat man.
"Then you must be a general in the army. Gu Luo deliberately complimented and smiled: "I can be regarded as going from south to north, with your dress and bearing, you must not be a mortal." If you are destined to meet, please take care of us. ”
"I'm not a general. Char shook her head.
That Gu Luo flashed a trace of smugness in his eyes, Char had no experience after all, and only said that he was not a general, but did not deny that he was a soldier.
In his heart, Gu Luo was even more convinced that Char's identity was extraordinary--not a general? In the Byzantine army, how many people could dress like him? Moreover, his good horses were not at the level of a general, so they couldn't ride them.
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Char went back to rest.
The Gu Luo also turned back, the room had already been cleaned, the thin man was standing respectfully aside, and a young man in the clothes of an ordinary attendant was sitting there leisurely, holding a bowl of hot tea in his hand.
"Clear?" the young man put down the bowl in his hand.
"Well, that guy is really from the Byzantine army, his name is Char, and this name should be true. Gu Luo lowered his hand and replied: "Look at his outfit, I am afraid that the level is not low." ”
"Char......" The young man frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes moved: "Yi, I've heard of this name...... Could it be that the guy who made the military department restless a few times ago? I heard that this guy made Hastings suffer on the battlefield, and if he met this guy, it would be very interesting......
The thin man whispered, "This...... We're here this time, it's better to cause less trouble on the road, your noble status, before you arrive in Osgilia, it's really not good to get into trouble, whether that person is a general or something else, I think ......"
"Stupid. The young man shook his head, and spat out a rebuke briskly, and the thin man quickly lowered his head and looked respectful. The young man continued: "Have we forgotten what our purpose is this time......? Hmph, if this guy really is, he might be on his way to Osgilia like us. Such a good opportunity, we might as well deal with him more, and maybe we can get some news we want to know. ”
※※※ There was nothing to say that night, and the next morning, Char got up and washed up under the service of Todoro, Soyt had already prepared his horses and was about to leave, and as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw that the Landis people next door were also ready to go.
The fat man Guro greeted Char through the wall, and then laughed enthusiastically and loudly: "General Char." ”
Char stood still, frowned, and said, "I'm not a general, so stop screaming." ”
"Hehe, I'm used to seeing people, you have such a bearing, even if you are not now, you will definitely be a general in the future. Gu Luo's face was full of friendly smiles, which made Char difficult to reject people thousands of miles away. The fat man laughed loudly: "We are about to go to Osgilia, if it is convenient, it is better to go together, everyone is away from home, walking together, and there is also a care." ”
Before Char could refuse, Na Guluo had already said quickly: "We traveling caravans, the most afraid of trouble along the way, look at your bearing, you must be a fierce general in the army, if there is a hero like you with us, we are also a lot more down-to-earth in our hearts, just take it as my cheeky request, with your tiger protection, we can also have a safe journey." ”
The other party said this, Char didn't want to refuse, the turtle's xìng was originally to eat soft and not hard, if others were arrogant, he would become more and more domineering, and if others begged for words, the turtle's heart would soften.
After thinking about it, Char said, "Okay, I'm also going to Osgilia, let's go together, it's not bad." ”
Then the two sides went on the road together, and these Landis brought six carts, full of goods, a dozen Landis rode with them, and a few charioteers and other miscellaneous servants from the merchant group, adding up to only twenty-six people. Char's three members joined the team, but it was not remarkable.
It's just that the thin man has never talked to Char, and he rode with other Landis people from afar, but this fat man Gu Luo is a bold person, and Char and Char are side by side along the way, this guy said that he went south and north, but it is true, his words and deeds, there seems to be nothing he doesn't know, his mouth is like a river, and from time to time he says some anecdotes that he has been running around all year round, and then some anecdotes encountered in various places, which makes Char listen to it with relish. As a child, he had loved to listen to passing merchants gossip and bards tell stories in the taverns of Wildfire, and this time he got his wish.
Hearing the end, I felt more and more that this Gu Luo was really a talent, and it was too condescending to be a deacon in the business group, and if he was to tell stories full-time, he was afraid that he could also make a lot of money.
"That year, I went with the caravan to the Chaos Territory in the northeast of the continent, alas, that experience was extremely dangerous. We accidentally intruded into the territory of the jīng spirit clan, if it was just an ordinary jīng spirit clan, the jīng spirit clan heaven xìng was docile and kind, and it would not embarrass us. It's just that that time we encountered a group of fallen night jīng spirits, those guys were like ghosts in the forest, hiding in the bushes, sneaking up on us twice, the hired mercenaries with us suffered heavy casualties, and some people were captured by the fallen jīng spirit......s!
"Well, and the wildfire fields! I once led a team to the tribe of the indigenous people of Zaku, and exchanged iron for the tobacco of their indigenous people, and those tobaccos were good, the finest tobacco, and a gram of tobacco was even equivalent to the same weight of gold! You know? The natives did not look much different from us, but they drank blood, but the tobacco was only cultivated in the recesses of the mountains next to their tribe. The natives dried the tobacco and mashed it and wrapped it in whole tobacco leaves...... Hehe, speaking of which, those tobacco girls are all Zaku native girls, who put tobacco leaves on their smooth thighs and picked them up! Those indigenous girls are very greedy, and the bronzed skin that comes out of the work is healthy and energetic, and they usually don't wear long clothes, but they wear small short coats, small leather skirts, and their bare arms and thighs are exposed, and there is a small waist...... Alas, a few of us watched it at the time, and we all drooled a lot......"
Gu Luo said while paying attention to Char's eyes, and sure enough, Char's face showed yearning, as if he also swallowed his saliva.
Seeing that Char's eyes were a little yearning, Gu Luo felt a little disdainful in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.
Tatara, who was following behind, caught the strange sè in the eyes of the fat man Guro, and the magician sighed secretly...... This fat man is going to be unlucky......
