"Your Excellency, your behavior seems a little out of place. We came here first." The other person saw Xia intervene with a dissatisfied expression on his face. This person is about thirty years old, with a stature of Relatively short and thin, but it looks very strong, wearing a winter leather robe, with an emerald gemstone ring on the thumb, the two beards on the lips are neatly trimmed, but the eyes are not. A little gloomy.
Xia Ya looked at this guy and laughed: "It's all out of the house, since you don't seem to want a room, you might as well give it to me, anyway, there are only three of us, and a yard is enough to live in. "
Let’s just say, Xiaya directly winked at Soyite, Soyite immediately took out a gold coin from his arms and threw it to the store owner. But suddenly seeing the extremely gloomy faces of the Lantis people next to him, he couldn't help but hesitate.
"Your Excellency." The other of the two Lantis people who were discussing with the boss said. He had a kind smile on his face. His face was a little plump and kind of friendly. He is a little more particular than the other skinny guy, the collar of the silk jacket lined on the inside is exposed under the leather robe, he is carrying a horse whip in his hand, swaying it at will, and said with a smile: "Anyway, we talked first after all. , we have more people, and this yard is not enough to live in, but it was decided first, just ask the boss to find a way to vacate two more rooms... Look, are you looking for another home? "
As he said that, he suddenly stretched out his hand and gently took the gold coin from the boss's hand. Although his movements seemed random, he shot very quickly. With a pinch of his fingers, the boss has not recovered. , the gold coin was already in his hands, the man put a smile on his face and put the gold coin back into Soyite's hand.
Xia Ya's heart moved, and he couldn't help but be a little curious: this guy is so quick to pay for money, if he goes to the golden finger, he won't starve to death!
Xia snorted, and he looked at the two of them coldly - he didn't have a good impression of the Landis people in his heart, and frowned at the boss: "The store is yours, what do you say?"
The boss saw that Xia Ya and the others were dressed in luxurious clothes, and their money was generous, so he was naturally willing to rent the house to Xia Ya, but there were so many people in Landis next to him that he didn't dare to offend him, and he was a little embarrassed for a while.
At this moment, two of the Lantis people sitting next to him stood up, with anger on their faces, snorted heavily, and deliberately bumped into Xia Ya. Loudly said: "Where did you come from, don't you know the principle of first come and last arrival!"
Saying that, he stretched out his hand and was about to push Xia Ya. Xia Ya has been around in Wildfire Town for many years, what arrogant and domineering person has not seen before? He laughed secretly in his heart, and stood there deliberately, letting the opponent's hand push on his chest, the man slammed it hard, but Xia Ya didn't move as if his feet had taken root, and he heard Xia Ya laugh and say: "Speak when you speak. , are you rough?"
He twisted the opponent's wrist at will, twisted it lightly, the man screamed suddenly, and Xia Ya twisted his wrist over, and knelt down twice, Xia Ya was not polite, gave it away gently, The man fell back and sat on the stool. Xia turned her head and put the gold coins back into the boss's hands: "That's it, I want the yard."
Seeing that Xia Ya was so arrogant, the rest of the Landis people suddenly became furious, clapped the table and stood up one after another, and glared at Xia Ya. Xia Ya was not afraid, but there was a sneer on his face, and a trace of evil spirit flashed in his eyes.
The leader of the two Landis people, the fat one and the thin one glanced at each other, and the skinny man shouted, "What are you doing, stand up and sit back!" The fat man looked at Xia Ya and hesitated for a moment. , finally said: "Okay, since that's the case, we won't argue with you. They are all out of the house, seeking money but not anger."
The man endured it, and Xiaya didn't talk nonsense with them, and walked in with big strides. After Soyte and Dodoro called the boss to come and help with packing, they also called the little guy in the store to come in. The horses outside were led to the back for careful feeding.
Although the Landis people were annoyed, but the leader had spoken out, so he could only bear it. The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw the man lead the horses of Xia Ya and others. The war horses in this army are naturally very different from ordinary horses. , and there is also the brand of a military horse on the back of the horse. Anyone with a little experience will know at a glance, not to mention that the few guys helped to carry the luggage of Xia Ya and others. The burden was heavy, and it was obviously very difficult to carry. There was a rattling sound during the transportation, and it was obvious that the package was either iron or some kind of armor. Thinking of Xia Ya's ability just now, he immediately assumed that the other party was probably a member of the Byzantine army.
The two looked at each other, then walked to their companions, and looked at the person surrounded by these Lantis warriors. There, he was surrounded by those around him in the very center. He glanced at the man and said nothing. The young man smiled lightly and nodded, and the two suddenly understood: "Let's go!"
At this moment, the boss came over. He had already collected the gold coins that Xia Ya gave him, with a happy expression on his face and a bit of cunning in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Several guests, our city is currently celebrating the founding of the city. , I'm afraid that the hotels in the whole city are already full. If you go to other places, I'm afraid that you won't be able to find a place to live... Well, if you don't dislike it, there are still a few rooms behind my store, but they are a little worn out. They were originally piles of firewood. If you don't dislike it, I will ask someone to clean it up immediately, which is a hundred times better than sleeping in the rough. I see that you have brought several large trucks of goods, and you can barely stop the trucks in the yard. Is it just the price…”
The skinny man was immediately furious: "Why didn't you say it just now! Are you playing tricks on us on purpose!"
The boss didn't say anything just now, he just deliberately manipulated the heat and wanted to raise the price. It was also a means of doing business. He said it now because the business can make money as soon as he can, and the big money uncle gave a gold coin. It is already a lot of money, but where is the money too much, a few firewood houses, it is also good to make a little more money.
The fat man pulled his companion and looked at the young man among the group of warriors. The young man did not make a sound, and the fat man said: "Okay! Let someone clean it up!"
After speaking, he took out two silver coins and put them on the table: "Get some food and send it over."
The boss quickly took the money and went down happily.
※※※
The yard where Xia Ya lives in is fairly clean and delicate, and the furnishings in the room are also good. He took a rest at will and came to the yard to take a look. The yard of this residence is not big, and the walls of the yard are only as high as a person's chest. But I saw the yard next door, which was originally the firewood warehouse of this hotel. It has been emptied at this moment. The group of Landis people lived in. The yard next door was slightly larger. Several carts were pushed into the yard. The cart was loaded slowly, and the wooden barrels and boxes were bundled and covered with large canvases. The Landis were busy taking the horses down.
When Xiaya saw this scene, he couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect these Lantis people to still live in and become neighbors.
Just watching, the fat man in the group of Landis came out of the room and saw Xia standing next to the courtyard wall. She was stunned for a moment, and then came up with a smile on her face. The two were just separated by the wall. Nodding to each other, the fat man smiled, as if he had forgotten about robbing the room, and said casually, "This gentleman is also on his way? I don't know where it came from?"
"North." Xia answered vaguely and asked, "Are you from Landis?"
Fatty laughed: "Yes, we came from the sea."
Xia squinted at the carts in the other party's yard, pointed at them, and asked casually, "Are you a business group? Where are you going to sell the goods?"
The smile on the fat man's face seemed to be that of a standard businessman, and he said in a kind manner: "We are from the Gallens Chamber of Commerce. This time, we have obtained some goods and are preparing to send them to the south. Alas, it's all just to earn some hard money. Otherwise, in such a cold winter, who would want to come out and walk."
Char nodded: "Galens Chamber of Commerce, 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, and the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic: "My name is Gu Luo, but I'm just a small deacon, I don't know what your Excellency is called? I see your appearance, but you have the bearing of a warrior in the army. Woolen cloth."
"Well, my name is Xia Ya." Xia Ya replied casually: "I'm also planning to go south."
Probably because of Ruhl's relationship, Char Ya will have a little more affection for Fatty.
"Then, you must be a general in the army." Gu Luo deliberately complimented and said with a smile: "I can be considered a traveller. I dress up in your attire and have a bearing, so I must not be a mortal. If you have a chance to meet, please do more care."
"I'm not a general." Xiaya shook his head.
There was a glint of smugness in that Gu Luo's eyes. After all, Xia Ya had no experience. He only said that he was not a general, but did not deny that he was a soldier.
In Gu Luo's heart, he was even more convinced that Char's identity was extraordinary - not a general? In the Byzantine army, how many can dress like him? Besides, his few good horses are not generals, so I'm afraid they won't be able to ride them.
The two chatted for a while, and then Xia Ya went back to rest.
This Gu Luo also turned around and went back. The room had already been cleaned, and the thin man was standing there respectfully, while a young man dressed as a servant was sitting there leisurely, holding a bowl of hot tea and drinking lightly.
"Is it clear?" The young man put down the bowl in his hand.
"Well, that guy is indeed a member of the Byzantine army. His name is Xia Ya, and the name should be true." Gu Luo lowered his hand and replied: "Looking at his dress, I'm afraid his level is not low."
"Xia Ya..." The young man frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes moved: "Yi, I've heard of this name... Could it be that the guy who caused Byzantium's troubles in the military a few days ago? I heard that this guy was on the battlefield. It made Hastings suffer, but it would be very interesting to meet this guy..."
The thin man said in a low voice, "This... We're here this time, it's better to avoid some trouble on the way. Your status is honorable. Before arriving in Osgilia, it's really not easy to cause trouble. It doesn't matter if that person is a general or not. Anything is fine, I see…”
"Stupid." The young man shook his head, spit out a rebuke briskly, and the thin man hurriedly lowered his head with a respectful look on his face. The young man continued: "Have we forgotten what our purpose this time is? Since there is such a good opportunity, if this person is really the one who made trouble with the Byzantine military a few days ago... Hmph, if it is really this guy, Maybe he went to Osgilia like us. Such a good opportunity, we might as well have more dealings with him, maybe we can get some news we want to know. "
※※※
There was nothing to say that night. The next morning, Xiaya got up and finished washing under the service of Dodoro. Soit had already prepared the horses and was about to leave. As soon as he walked into the yard, he saw those Randy next door. The Sri Lankans are also ready to go.
The fat man Gu Luo greeted Char through the wall, and then laughed enthusiastically: "General Char."
Xia Ya stopped and frowned, "I'm not a general, so don't yell."
"Hehe, I'm used to seeing people. Even if you don't have this kind of bearing now, you will definitely be a general in the future." Gu Luo's face was full of friendly smiles, but it made it difficult for Xia Ya to reject people from thousands of miles away. outside. The fat man laughed loudly: "We are preparing to go to Osgilia. If it is convenient, let's go together together. Everyone is out of the house, so we walk together, and we also have someone to take care of."
Xia was still waiting to refuse, and Gu Luo quickly said: "We traveling caravans are most afraid of running into trouble along the way. Judging from your bearing, you must be a strong general in the army. If there is a hero like you accompanying you. , our hearts are also much more at ease, just take it as my cheeky request, with your tiger protection, we can also have a safe journey."
When the other party said so, it would be hard for Xia Ya to refuse. The turtle's temperament is to eat soft and not hard. If others are arrogant, he will become more domineering. If others are kind, the turtle's heart will soften.
After thinking about it, Xiaya said, "Well, I'm going to Osgilia too. It's not bad for everyone to go together."
Immediately, the two sides went on the road together. These Landis people brought six carts, full of goods, a dozen Landis people on horseback, and a few handymen such as coachmen in the business group. Twenty-six people. The three of Xia Ya joined the team, but they were inconspicuous.
It's just that the skinny guy never talked to Xiaya, and rode with other Landis people from a distance, but this fat guy Gu Luo was a bold person, walking side by side with Xiaya along the way, this guy said that he It's true that he travels from south to north, his speech and behavior, as if there is nothing he doesn't know, and he is eloquent. From time to time, he talks about some anecdotes and anecdotes that he has run around all year round and encountered in various places, but it makes Xia Ya listen to it with gusto. When he was a child, he liked to listen to the past merchants chatting and listening to the stories of the bards in the tavern in Wildfire Town, and this time it was his wish.
Hearing the end, I feel more and more that this Gu Luo is really a talent, and being a deacon in a business group is too unprofessional.
"By the way, that year, the caravan and I went to the Chaos Territory in the northeast of the mainland. Alas, that experience was extremely dangerous. We accidentally broke into the territory of the elves. If it was just an ordinary elves, elves The clan is docile and kind by nature, and will not embarrass us. It’s just that we met a group of fallen night elves. Those guys are like ghosts in the forest, hiding in the bushes, attacking us twice, accompanied by hired mercenaries. There were heavy casualties, and some people were captured by the fallen elves! Finally, fortunately, we met a few Druids passing by, and we managed to get out..."
"Well, there is also Wildfire! I once led a team to the tribe of the Zaku indigenous people, and exchanged iron for their indigenous people's tobacco. Those tobacco are good things, the best quality tobacco, one gram of tobacco is even equivalent. The same weight of gold! Do you know? Those natives look the same as us, but they drink blood, but the tobacco can only be grown in the valleys next to their tribes. Those natives dry the tobacco It was mashed and rolled up with a whole piece of tobacco leaves... Hehe, speaking of which, the tobacco was made by the young girls of the Zaku natives who put the tobacco leaves on their bare thighs! Those indigenous people The young girl is very eye-catching. The bronzed skin that emerges from her work is healthy and full of vitality. She usually doesn't wear long clothes, she wears short coats, small leather skirts, and her bare arms and thighs It's exposed, and that small waist... Alas, we all drooled a lot when we saw it..."
As Gu Luo said, he paid attention to Xia Ya's eyes. Sure enough, Xia Ya's face showed a look of longing, as if he was swallowing saliva.
(Damn, I have been in Wildfire Town for so many years, but I have never been to the tribe of the Zaku natives. I heard that those Zaku natives are more autistic than the dwarves... I would have known this earlier, and I would have Slipped in early and walked around.)
Seeing that Xia Ya's eyes were yearning, Gu Luo felt a little disdain in his heart, but the smile on his face became more and more enthusiastic.
(This young boy looks very simple, as if... it's not difficult to figure him out.)
Dodo Luo, who followed behind, caught the strange look in Fatty Gu Luo's eyes, and the magician sighed secretly...
This fat man is going to be unlucky...
