Chapter 285: Fugitive Slaves
In fact, there must be a lot of flaws in such a move as Dip. To take the most obvious of all, how could such a gift-giving act not be accompanied by the officials of the kingdom of Bimon? It is not necessary to let a troop of human cavalry walk around the kingdom casually? Aren't you afraid that it will be a spy? Therefore, in order to prevent suspicion, Dipu made a gesture -- as if he was not willing to talk nonsense with the lowly Bimon people, and threw down the gifts and left.
And this kind of indulgence is quite common, and of course very effective. has already given gifts without asking for anything in return, so what else can you suspect?
Sure enough, Dipu's move worked. Regardless of whether it was sincere or not, Yorkshire always had to be polite and polite to show that he would stay, right? So Yorkshire chased after a few steps with a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, sir, would you better have a cup of hot tea before leaving?"
I didn't expect Dipu to wait for this sentence. He pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded, "Okay then! It's too cold this day, so let's rest!"
Then, Dipu signaled to his "butler" Salis, "Reward!" and Thares immediately threw over two money bags full of gold coins.
While taking the money bag, Yorkshire glanced at the coins in the money bag, and was immediately dazzled by a yellow can. He grinned and couldn't close his mouth, so he hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Thank you, master!
Dip jumped off his horse, handed the whip to Thares, and waved his hand casually to get Yorkshire "up," and commanded, "Send some hot water to the children outside, too, to keep them warm." Do you have bean feed, hay, and feed the horses. Don't worry, I'll pay for it. ”
"Don't worry, sir!" said Yorkshire's face was already blooming. Looking at the handwriting of this noble human being, maybe he can make a fortune today!
......
In the warm tent, Doug Beamon such as Dip and Yorkshire are happy. Although there is a strong smell of sandalwood in this tent and a very greasy milk tea, Dipu is still talking and laughing, showing a touching scene of human beings being close to each other.
"This is the reward of Her Royal Highness the Honorable Princess, just for the goodwill between humans and Beamon, and for the sake of resisting the demon invasion together in the future. So Elder Yorkshire, don't thank me again. I'm just giving it away. Hahaha!" said Dipp, laughing.
"Where, sir!" Yorkshire also kept boasting, "Look sir, you are young and promising, and you have to be so valued by Her Royal Highness the Princess." In the future, you must have a bright future, a prince for all generations!"
"I'll borrow your kind words, hehe!" said Dipp with a smile. Realizing that the greetings were almost over, Dipu began to get to the point, "I brought a lot of gifts this time, and I want to send them back along the way." I didn't expect this snow. The road is not easy to recognize. Elder Yorkshire, do you have a guide here who is familiar with the nearby roads and knows how to get to Thurland?"
"Yo!" Yorkshire's eyes lit up. He was immediately attracted by the phrase "brought a lot of gifts". If he can help, this generous human nobleman will have to pay some money, right?
So Yorkshire immediately recommended himself: "If the master doesn't dislike it, then the little one will go in person." The roads in this kingdom are quite familiar to the smaller. ”
"Then what's so embarrassing? It's freezing cold, and ...... you are so old?" said Dipu with a quick smile. Dipu is looking for a guide to escape, and it is definitely not fast to go with Yorkshire, which is a burden.
"That'...... Then the little son! Come here, come and meet ......" Yorkshire didn't want to let the benefits that had already come to the door fly away.
Amun, the son of Yorkshire, came to see Dipp, and after seeing it, Dipu thought it was quite good. The young man was quite energetic, and according to Yorkshire, he was quite familiar with the ways of the Beamon Kingdom.
"Very well!" said Dip, "send us to the city of Thran, and pay us fifty gold coins." Sarith, leave another hundred pounds of salt and two pieces of cloth for Elder Yorkshire. Do a good job, and when we break up. I'm sending you two horses. ”
"Thank you!", "Thank you, sir!"
At this time, Dipu was a little proud in his heart, but he didn't expect that he had just used a little trick to solve the guide problem so smoothly. But that's also thanks to Willy. At that time, he collected too much baggage. Even salt, wine, cloth, etc. were pulled a lot. Especially the apprentice knights and blacksmiths who remained, they even pulled two large carts of iron.
And these burdens, to be honest, are indeed a bit chicken on the way to escape. If you take it, it will affect the speed of escape, and if you throw it away, you will be a little reluctant. I can use it now. In exchange for a guide, this is also a big advantage.
Seeing that the task had been successfully completed, Dipu was not willing to delay any longer. He smiled and said, "Elder Yorkshire, then let Ling Lang prepare, let's leave immediately!"
"Good!" Yorkshire smiled and nodded. But then, he seemed to hesitate a little, and held back for a while before he asked, "Master, ...... Do you have a fugitive here?"
"Fugitive slaves?"
"Oh! Last night, a human thief was caught here, and he said he had just come to the kingdom. Say he can pay the ransom as long as he sends him back to the human ......"
"Wait, wait!" and the others were a little confused. After glancing at each other, Dipu asked, "What's that man's name?"
"I don't know!" replied Yorkshire very simply, "a madman, who says not to kill him, who says he wants to settle accounts with us, who says he wants to pay a ransom or something, is a madman." Judging from the small, he is a fugitive slave who pretends to be crazy and sells stupidity. It's just that I saw that he was human, so I wanted to ask the master!"
And Dipu is even more bizarre. Even if the human had run out of Guure, it had run in the wrong direction. And he shouldn't be as fast as he is? Could it be that he flew with wings?
Curious, Dipu asked, "Can you bring it to me?"
"Of course, of course. Someone, bring that fugitive slave here. ”
When this episode appeared, Dipu and the others stayed a little longer. Although it is almost certain that this fugitive slave is not from the visiting group, if it is really human, it may as well help to rescue it.
And those Doug Beamon also moved quickly, and soon dragged over a middle-aged man who was tied up and naked. Dipu looked at the middle-aged man carefully, but found that he had been beaten to the point that his nose and eyes were swollen, and his appearance was difficult to distinguish.
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man struggled to raise his head, and when he saw Dipu, he immediately became excited. He shouted, "Dip, help me, let them let me go." Hurry up, bunny!"
