Chapter 763: Pride and Prejudice
When the curtain moved, everyone only saw the palm and half of the arm, and the white long-arm gloves were still wearing on them. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But the Ivan cavalry on the horse saluted in unison and shouted in unison.
The Rouran slave translated beside Li Yongsheng, "In the car is the youngest daughter of Grand Duke Tiefu. ”
The eldest duke's youngest daughter, the shelf is also very large, she doesn't poke her head out at all, and she mutters a few words in the car, her voice is a little low and hoarse, far less beautiful than the herbs, but it brings people a vague charm.
The Rouran Slave continued to translate faithfully, "Miss Haifeisi hopes that you, as a decorated soldier, can help her out of her predicament like a true warrior!"
Li Yongsheng snorted coldly in his heart, he didn't even get off the carriage, so he asked me to help you push the carriage, I owe you something?
Not to mention, you beg people to talk to others without even showing their faces, do you really think you have a big face?
Then, he glanced suspiciously at his interpreter, "How do I feel, the tone of her voice...... Not as polite as you?"
A hint of embarrassment appeared on the face of the Rouran slave, and he explained in a low voice, "My lord, I thought it was ...... The other party is Miss Haifeisi, so let's not conflict with her. ”
Li Yongsheng snorted coldly, "You tell this noble young lady that the fearlessness of a warrior is reflected in the battle with the enemy, and she ...... me There seems to be a lack of respect. ”
The interpreter hesitated, but he still trembled and translated these words, but he stammered and what he wanted to express, completely different feelings.
You are a gray animal, how do you want to be respected? Ivan's cavalry had a look of disdain on his face.
But the people in the carriage listened, and after a moment of silence, a human head slowly poked out of the window of the carriage.
This person wears a wide-brimmed sunshade veil hat, behind the white veil, the clear and beautiful face is faintly visible, the upper body is wearing a light purple dress, and the shoulders and chest are full of tassels, which is a very formal dress at first glance.
She raised her left arm and swung at Li Yongsheng, the long white tulle gloves that reached her elbows looked extremely dazzling.
She whispered a few words, and the Rouran slave immediately translated, "She apologizes to you, it's too muddy here, or she'll get out of the car...... Are we going to help her?"
Li Yongsheng didn't have to listen to his translation, he guessed what the other party meant, and not only that, but he also felt the arrogance from above—as if she greeted him with a greeting, how generous and benevolent she was.
Is it the arrogance of a superior person? Li Yongsheng was an immortal monarch when he was in the upper realm, but he really rarely treated people like this.
At this time, he finally understood why Paul Kochakin, who was building the railway in Siberia, had a very strange feeling when he met Tonya who was riding a luxury train.
However, he is not Paul Kochakin, and the other party is not Tonya - of course, whether she is Tonya or not is actually very.
So he replied very simply, "Don't hope for our help until her guards dismount and push the wagon...... I mean, all the guards. ”
"It can't be," Tonya ...... No, it was Helphysis who replied proudly, "They are also responsible for our safety, and as honorable knights, they can't do such menial work." ”
This old man couldn't even speak, Li Yong rolled his eyes angrily, "As a noble and honored soldier, it is impossible for me to do such a rough job." ”
"No, you are not noble," cried one of the Ivan officers, "but you are brave in battle, you will not be able to get a ticket to the high ball, and you will even sleep with your own horses...... Look, you're not aristocrats!"
"Fool, the highest honor of a knight is to guard, not some bullshit upper-class ball," Li Yongsheng replied loudly, then rummaged in the package for a while, threw a half-gray sackcloth at the other party, and said proudly, "I want to duel with you!"
He had always believed that duels were a fool's errand—and there was a saying in Middle-earth that they would do the last one, but many times it was just a fight, not a fight.
However, the other party's retarded mind made him close to intolerable.
Officer Ivan was stunned at first, but immediately reacted, and there was no need for an interpreter at all.
But he still patiently listened to the Rouran slave finish his words before he spoke coldly, "We are personal guards, in the middle of the mission, we will not accept a duel, otherwise I will gladly cut you into two parts." ”
Li Yongsheng snorted disdainfully, "Since you don't have the guts, then, get out of the way!"
He was full of momentum, and although this group of Ivan cavalry was very angry, they could only watch them leave.
Iwan is actually very violent, often killing people if they don't agree with each other, but to understand that what they are doing now is just to recruit two people to push the carriage, and most of them will only watch from the sidelines.
This is really not a big deal, two more people may not be able to push the carriage out of the quagmire, for this matter, killing the mindless Rouran barbarians, it may lead to more serious consequences, it is really too much to do.
So they endured.
But even so, when Li Yongsheng and the two left, Officer Ivan still asked loudly, "Honored soldier, what are you going to do when you come to Smuk City this time?"
Li Yongsheng was very annoyed in his heart, but he really didn't want to make any more trouble, so he could only answer lightly, "I have a little matter that needs to recruit a hundred warriors. ”
"Oh, is it?" said someone with a strange laugh, "you're going to recruit warriors too, aren't you going to take those gray animals?"
"Oh my God, what did I hear? The Rourans are going to recruit a hundred warriors...... Do the Rouran people have so much money?"
In the midst of everyone's ridicule, Li Yongsheng and Rouran left without looking back.
This Rouran slave was very weird, and after walking a long way, he began to tremble with anger, "It's really too deceitful!"
Your reflex arc is really long, Li Yongsheng looked at him speechlessly, "Okay, concentrate a little, and you'll be in Smuk soon." ”
The reason why Smuk is said to be a city is really not so much a small town, really, a very small town, resting in Middle-earth, and even saying that the town has lifted them, it can only be said to be a camp, and it can't even catch up with the military village of Rouran.
But Iwan's stronghold was still very strong, supported by five or six strong fortresses, surrounded by a low stone wall, and behind it was a high wall of logs, and that was all there were.
The stone walls and wooden walls are not the point, the focus is on the fortress, this fortress has a church, a private castle, and a military camp, all of which are built according to the traditional castle model of the Ivan Kingdom, it is easy to break into the city wall, but in the face of the comprehensive attack of multiple castles, it is the most test.
In fact, the whole city is very small, covering an area of only four or five miles, and now the city of Smuk is in the peak trading season, and there are probably no more than 20,000 people coming and going.
It is said that 20,000 people live in the city of Smuk, which is four or five miles round, which is more than enough, but things are not what everyone thinks, even if there is a place in the castle, it will not be provided for ordinary people to live in.
The hierarchy is reflected here, and most of the foreign population must live outside the city, that is, outside the stone and wooden walls.
Li Yongsheng and the others rode all the way and saw a large number of tents - these were all tents set up by people who could not enter Smuk.
And these people who came temporarily inevitably had some conflict with each other, that is, they talked with big fists, they saw at least two fights, and one, although it was only in a state of quarrel, but there was no doubt that it was going to be done in the next moment.
There are really quite a few people stationed outside the city, at least seven or eight thousand, but according to Li Yongsheng's analysis, it is normal to turn around.
Many people are out of sight, in tents, or in the wilderness.
The Rouran slave cautiously asked, "My lord, do you want to enter the city?"
Outside the city was very lively, with cattle and horses and cattle traders bringing in large numbers of cattle and sheep, and some people bringing slaves to sell them there - the city was a place where the superior people lived, and it was too vulgar to do anything in the city.
But in fact, the most lucrative business is still in the city, such as taverns and restaurants, small restaurants outside the city, which are only responsible for cooking the food - many times it is not necessarily cooked, and the meals are full of high-protein foods such as bugs and fleas.
There are not only restaurants in the city, but also escort girls in the restaurants, and you may even meet down-and-out aristocrats who come here to take risks.
Li Yongsheng thought about it for a while, and finally decided, "Let's live outside the city first, find a few local snakes who are familiar with the place, we have two days." ”
The city must be explored, especially the staffing of several castles, which must be clarified.
But it's a bit risky to go in so rashly, Ivan is not as soft as Rouran, after all, it is a big country, the documents and documents are relatively standardized, and he has an honest customs clearance document by his side, but it is fake after all.
Speaking of which, let's find some local land snakes first and understand the situation, this is good.
The two of them found a simple tavern and sat down, and Li Yongsheng asked the restaurant to get two leg of mutton, and by the way, get some firewood and salt -- the level of cooking for 10,000 people is really terrible, and there are too many times when half of the leg of lamb is not cooked for half a day.
The most pitiful thing is that they can't even sprinkle salt evenly, and it's really too common for half of their legs to die of salt without salt and half of their legs to salt.
Li Yongsheng got the leg of mutton, and he had to marinate it first--there are not many people in the country of Ivan who know how to handle mutton like this.
He felt that Middle-earth had inherited the tradition of the Great Foodie Empire on Earth, and it was not a little bit stronger than the natives of other countries here.
After the pickling was finished, it was almost the end of Shen, and he was sitting in the open space behind the tavern, roasting a leg of mutton in a leisurely manner, when he saw the Rouran slave coming with four or five men.
Rouran bowed respectfully at him, "My lord, I'm back." ”
"Sit down," Li Yongsheng waved his hand very casually, then raised his head and looked at him in surprise, "Your face is ...... What's wrong?"
