Chapter 13 Trade (8)

A few days later, the Duke of Brittany's team came to Baron Molai. The peasants along the way raised their heads one after another, wondering why so many lords would come to this small place these days. You should know that not long ago, this was a place where no one cared about it. Except for the individual tax collectors and a few soldiers who protected the safety of tax collectors, the safety of the governance was spontaneously maintained by the villagers during the tax collection.

The King of Mountains sorted out his clothes in the official residence. He was entrusted by Ella to receive the Duke of Brittany here for Ella. He was reluctant at first, but as soon as he entered the official residence, it was much more comfortable than his cottage. The house was large, three stories high, and it was made of stone and strong. Not only did there be a separate hall, but also a separate bathhouse. The ground was covered with soft carpets and various glass lamps hung on the ceiling, which made him forget it.

In order to make himself look like a character, he took a bath with rose water every day in the past few days, washed himself clean, and chewed mint leaves in his mouth for several days to cover up his bad breath. He bought a very expensive clothes from the passing caravan, and took out a gorgeous sword from the official residence, and matched it with him. Hey, he really felt like a high-class person.

Ordinary bandits who were also driven out of the camp by Ella were lined up in front of the gate.

"Stand up straight! Stick your chest! Don't act like you haven't eaten! Your current identity is a regular army, so be more arrogant!" The second boss of the counterfeit village disciplined the group of mobs, "When you see the officers and soldiers later, don't dodge your eyes, and don't turn around and run away. We are a regular army now, and those officers and soldiers will not arrest us! If they glar at you, you will glar back hard and don't lose your momentum! But if that duke glares at you, immediately bow his head to admit his mistake. Don't spit back with saliva like a quarrel in the camp. Who dares to spit? My mother will directly use needle and thread to sew its mouth! This matter is done, and the counterfeit village and treasure are all ours. If this matter is done, let alone money, we have to finish our lives! Do you understand?"

The bandits responded happily. In the past few days, their accommodation conditions have been several times better than those on the mountain.

The door opened, and the mountain king walked out swayingly. He glanced at his subordinates and scolded him in a pretentious manner. He saw a bandit leading a horse from the corner of his eyes, so he waved his hand proudly and shouted: "Go away and welcome the Duke of Brittany!"

The two teams met outside the village of Molei. The Duke of Brittany brought a team of five or six hundred people, while there were only less than thirty people on the bandits. In fact, the comparison of this number is reasonable. The Duke of Brittany is the head of a country, and the Molei who met was outside the border, so it is normal for the bandits to bring more people. The nominal envoy of Navarra, Navarra and Brittany are separated by an entire Almani Federation. This mission is also a secret, and it is not appropriate to carry too many people.

However, King Shan was inevitably a little scared after seeing it. He just hoped that he would not reveal any flaws. He recited what Ella taught him several times in his heart, and then took a few steps forward and came to the Duke of Brittany's army: "Is it the Duke of Brittany? We are..."

——"Catch him!"

Before King Shan could finish his words, the Duke of Brittany gave the order. Several cavalry immediately rushed up from both sides. King Shan was startled. He turned around and had not yet taken two steps to retreat and was blocked by the cavalry. He had to kneel on the ground and surrender.

"Don't panic - don't panic!" The second head of the army tried hard to stabilize the emotions of other thieves. This situation was within Ella's expectations. She was afraid that the bandits were too strong and were suspected. She had taught the second head of the army to deal with it: "Duke of Brittany! Are you trying to declare war with our country?"

"Declare war?" The Duke of Brittany raised his hand and pressed the soldiers behind him, "Are you people from Navarra?"

The second head of the house recalled what Ella taught him and said, "I'm afraid it's not convenient to talk about it here, right?"

The hidden meaning of this sentence is "We have a common secret." The Duke of Brittany secretly transports the princess of Navarra to come here, and this sentence is naturally deterrent.

"Sorry," the Duke of Brittany nodded, but there was still a hint of suspicion in his eyes, "I thought you were bandits."

Don't blame him for doubting: Although the clothes chosen by Shan Dawang were gorgeous, they were only worn by merchants; they were wearing merchants' clothes, but also wearing swords; they were wearing swords, but they were wearing etiquette swords for decoration; they were using etiquette swords, but the bandits behind him were all real swords and guns. These things were put together, just like putting the head of a cow on a sheep's body - only those who had never seen a cow or a sheep would do such a thing.

"What kind of bandit? If I were bandits, I would bring such a few people to stand in front of you? Looking for death?"

King Shan rubbed his waist and stood up. He saw that the Duke of Brittany held down the soldier and came back with courage. The Duke of Brittany frowned and stared at him and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who is it? Special Envoy! Come here to welcome you!"

"You are only a centurion at most." The Duke of Brittany's eyes added five more doubts. "I don't think there will be a country that will send a centurion to be the envoy. Where are your heads? Where are the local lords?"

This is also a must-have question within Ella's expectations. The mountain king honestly taught her words: "There is a group of thieves hidden here, occupying the mountain as the king. It is very powerful. He went down the mountain to rob him not long ago. In order to welcome you, Duke, don't have any accidents, they went to suppress the bandits, and they haven't come back yet. Please stay here for one day, two days."

The Duke of Brittany had indeed heard of a group of bandits here in Molai. However, at this time, the envoy and the local lord were not there, so he could not help but wonder: "What kind of bandits are they? Do you actually want you to go out with the local lord to encircle and suppress them?"

Ella had never taught this question, and the Shan Dawang could only write it randomly according to the actual situation: "Yes... the number of people is not very large, but it is extremely fierce. They use feathers as decorations and animal skins as clothes, and their skin is still dark, just like savages, and they have very strong magic..."

"So it turned out that the bandits who came to inquire about our information before."

The Duke of Brittany was relieved. A group of powerful bandits who dominated the local area were uneasy when they saw the army passing by, so it was reasonable to come to investigate. He knew that Molai's lord was a new leader and wanted to use the power of the Navarra to suppress the bandits by using the power of the Navarra. This also makes sense.

However, he remained a little vigilant after all.
