The 930th Chapter Earl South (2)

There were as many as forty or fifty people in this caravan, and they rushed into Jingtie Town at once, and the town suddenly became lively. ═.［． The caravan drove through the main road in the town, and there were a dozen elite riders in front, and all the knights on horseback were elegant. The most outstanding one is the man on horseback, wearing a snow-white cloak, surrounded by a black fur collar, and inside is a fire-like vermilion armor, plus he hangs a dark blue spear hanging by the side of the horse. Extraordinary.

The number of riders behind him also has its own characteristics.

On the left is a big man lying on his horse who doesn't know whether he is asleep or awake, reeking of alcohol. In such a cold day, he was only wearing a light black iron armor, his arms were bare, and his skin was dark red whether it was from nature or from the snow. The man reeked of alcohol and carried a thick battle ax behind his back. The ax was black and heavy, and it weighed heavily on the horse he stepped off. The knight on the right looked much leaner, with black clothes and black armor, and fair skin like a woman's. There were three swords and two knives hanging from the horse's side, and there were quite a few weapons.

Although the riders in the back were not as good as the three knights in front, they all had a dignified air, sharp eyes, and a sturdy body.

There were several carriages behind the dozen or so knights, and the three in front were pulling goods. The goods were all tightly wrapped in tarpaulins, and nothing could be seen. The first two cars behind were also wrapped in tarps, but it could be seen that it was a cage. From time to time, the deep roar of wild beasts came from the cage, God knows what kind of beasts are inside. One of the cages kept gushing out misty frost, covering the cage and the car boards with a layer of hoarfrost, and it was unknown what was inside.

Next came several carriages carrying people. There were more field equipment in the back of the carriages, but they were no different from other caravans.

The caravan came to the Zimulus Hotel in the town.

There was a clever boy squatting in front of the hotel lobby. He was bored and looked at the avenue covered by the wind and snow with a sad face. Suddenly he saw such a team coming towards his hotel, and he was overjoyed. ◊┡┠┟═╡.＜. This person is also used to seeing scenes, and he has seen all caravans. I saw that most of the merchants were warriors, especially because the three cavalry were not like ordinary warriors, they were mostly masters. Looking at the few goods they escorted and how many cages they had, they made up their minds. From his experience, such caravans were either slave catchers or beast hunters.

However, there are only forty or fifty people in the team, and most of them are probably the latter. After a while, he heard the roar of the beasts in the cages, and the young man knew that he had guessed right, and his face was quite smug. At this moment, the caravan stopped and dismounted for the knight, and the young man hurried over to lead the horse for him. The knight was very satisfied with the young man's cleverness, and casually threw him a gold coin and said, "We are the Ice Moon Mercenary Corps, and I am the leader Fares. As you can see, we need to rest here for a day, please give Let's open up some rooms."

"It's simple, please come with me." The young man said immediately.

He made several gestures towards the lobby, and naturally someone came out to lead the caravan to the goods yard behind the hotel. Fares said "wait a moment", then walked to the black knight and said, "Ruijie,

You arrange some people to keep watch on our goods. He patted the drunkard's head again and said, "Lick, how long are you going to sleep, get out of here quickly." "

The drunk man named Rick raised his head and asked half asleep, "Where's the wine?"

"You'll die of alcohol sooner or later." Fares cursed angrily. He drew the spear from his horse, and followed the young people in the hotel into the lobby to check in.

The black knight Ruijie took off the sword, put the three swords on the back, and the two swords on the sides of the waist, and then ordered two knights and most of the warriors, and asked them to follow the hotel staff to pull the goods to the rear cargo yard. The last few carriages carrying people also got off one after another. Compared with the knights and soldiers of the caravan, these people who got off the carriages looked much weaker. All of them were dressed in fur and wished they could put another blanket on their bodies. The few people smelled like copper, but they were a group of serious businessmen. When these businessmen got off their horses, they naturally gathered together, talking and laughing, but they kept their business. ┢╞╪╪╪.?〔. c

As they passed a carriage, the groom jumped out, knocking a tall, thin, middle-aged man to the ground. The middle-aged businessman fell on the snow with an "ouch", and the snow covered his fur coat. The man immediately yelled: "You bastard, are you blind! I bought this fur coat from the imperial capital, can you afford it if it gets dirty?"

When Juzi scolded endlessly, his eyes dimmed. The unusually tall groom said fiercely: "Who are you scolding? Believe it or not, I twist your head off and drink it!"

The merchants were stunned by the groom's arrogance. At this time, the door of the carriage was pushed open, and a petite young woman jumped out of the carriage, helping a man wrapped in a dark red long coat to get down. The man got out of the car, and glanced at his groom indifferently: "Will you die if you don't say a few words? How can I teach you, if you knock someone down, you have to help them up."

The groom rubbed his head, and reluctantly pulled the middle-aged businessman like a chicken. Only then did the man come back to his senses, and was about to yell at him. Unexpectedly, at the first glance of the man in red, the man's eyes were not sharp, but he felt cold all over. Then I heard him say: "Of course, if the other party is still entangled, it's not too late for you to unscrew his head and pour wine."

Then, under the arms of the petite woman, the man and woman walked towards the hotel gate Shi Shiran. The groom made a bad face at the merchants, then jumped into the carriage and drove the carriage to the freight yard. After they left, the air seemed to flow again. Although there were many people around the middle-aged businessman just now, no one dared to say a word for him. Now that the man is gone, they complain about the injustice, but the middle-aged businessman doesn't say a word, just shakes his head with a wry smile.

Fares just finished checking in and walked out of the lobby, and saw this scene. The pair of men and women came towards each other, and the woman, the little bird, held the man's arm like a human being, but there was no ambiguous atmosphere between men and women. The woman kept her head lowered, as if she was a little afraid of the man around her. But the man in red nodded generously to Fares and said, "Thank you, Captain Fares."

Fares handed him a key: "It should be, Mr. Ed. The journey is exhausting, you rest early?"

"It's still early, I want to sit down at the bar." The man named Ed pointed to the bar that was also operated beside the hotel lobby.

Fares nodded, and the two passed by. Ed, the man in red, and his female companion and the groom met their caravan in the dark place. After hearing that the caravan was going to Iron Gun Ridge, Ed, who claimed to be a businessman, asked to join them and paid The ice moon mercenary group is a considerable fee. Fares saw that there were only three of them, and Ed was indifferent on the outside, and there was a faint dignity in his actions and tone, not like a scout role of a bandit group inserted into the eyes and ears of the caravan, so he agreed.

Although there were occasional frictions with other businessmen along the way, they were all trivial matters. And it's strange, the mouths of those business masters are quite poisonous, but this man dare not even fart, and sometimes he just swears behind his back.

They didn't cause trouble for him, so Fares didn't have to pay too much attention to the faces of those businessmen, not to mention that Ed gave him a lot of commissions. But Fares doubted that he really needed a guard. At least he knew that the groom driving the car and the seemingly weak little woman beside Ed were not ordinary people. The aura on them made Fares feel threatened, and even Ed himself had a slight sense of oppression, probably a hidden master.

As long as the three of them don't go into those notoriously vicious places, the bandit groups that haunt the business roads are really no match for them. Fares was very puzzled by this, but since he paid enough commission, he didn't care about it, and was happy to give a small fortune that fell from the sky.

"Captain!"

At the entrance of the bar, Drunk Hanlick waved his hand: "Have a drink? I found a good seat!"

The black knight Ruijie also came back from the cargo yard, and nodded to Fares, indicating that everything was done. Fares looked at the increasingly gloomy sky, and simply called Ruijie into the warm bar. In this bar that is also run by a hotel, the businessmen who got off the carriage had gathered around two tables to drink, and there were a few chuckles from time to time. Ed and his female companion occupy a corner table, keeping a clear distance from the others.

Fares walked around among the merchants, drank a few glasses of wine to connect with each other, and gave them the keys to the room before walking back. Rick had called a table of wine and food earlier, and Fares sat down. The big man hurriedly poured Fares and Ruijie a glass, and he was not polite himself, and directly poured the rest into his mouth. Fares and Ruijie smiled at each other, quite speechless about Rick's drunken behavior.

"Drink less, I'm afraid I won't have you to drink when we get to Tieqiangling." Ruijie kicked the big man under the table.

Only then did Rick say awkwardly, "Isn't this still at Tieqiang Ridge?" He looked at Fares and said, "Leader, let's go to Tieqiang Ridge this time, that ice tooth can be sold for a good price, right? ? But let me tell you, although ice teeth are rare, we don’t have to transport them all the way to Iron Gun Ridge for sale, right?”

Ruijie rolled his eyes and cursed in a low voice: "Idiot."

Rick slapped the table and said, "Who are you talking about!"

Fares frowned, patted the table and said, "Shut up, Rick. Change your bad temper. The worst thing you can do in our business is to be high-profile. I won't let you drink for this reason, but after so many years You can't change it."

Rick touched his head, smacked his mouth and said, "I know that too, but Ruijie's mouth is too poisonous."

Ruijie sneered and said, "It's better for me to be venomous than to be stabbed by a knife. Don't even think about it. We Bingyue lived well in Sardinia. Why did Fares work so hard this time to send our mercenary group away?" Move to Iron Gun Ridge."

"Forget Ruijie, we've been brothers for so many years, what are you talking about?" Fares shook his head.
