1123、Conspiracy
Late at night, drunk people were lying in the camp, and let Xiaosu lean on the wheel of the carriage to pretend to sleep.
No one walked around at this time. Ren Xiaosu opened his eyes slightly and observed everyone, and then recorded all the drunk people.
If, as he judged, this caravan was composed of many Berkeley soldiers, it would be absolutely impossible for the soldiers to get drunk during their mission.
Therefore, these drunk people can be excluded first.
As a result, after observing this circle, Ren Xiaosu was shocked to find that there were fewer idle people in the caravan than he thought.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu was a little surprised. Especially the Li family, the Liu family urged Meigo to set off quickly. It was a conspiracy, right?
Then Meigo, this stupid Bai Tian, didn't think much about it, and agreed directly?
Ren Xiaosu controlled Lao Xu to quietly surround the caravan, and as a result, he further confirmed some of his judgments. As the carnival had just ended, there were still people on duty next to the vehicle loading wine barrels in the caravan.
One of Yorkshire's main businesses is winemaking, and the main goods shipped to Ghent City this time are also wine.
The entire caravan had hundreds of ox carts and horse carriages, one quarter of which were oak barrels full of wine.
A ox cart can carry six barrels of wine, which is the limit of the ox cart. Ren Xiaosu is very suspicious that the oak barrels contain other things, otherwise it would not have been late at night that people would have been guarding them with full vigilance.
But Ren Xiaosu thought, was the person in this caravan led by Qian Weining, or was there someone else in the commander?
The caravan set out again at dawn the next day. Qian Weining said that they would arrive at the first town on the way, Vaduz County, in the afternoon.
When Ren Xiaosu was on the way, he asked Mego: "Is this Vaduz County under the control of the Berkeley family?"
Mego nodded: "Yes, and it is one of the important towns of the Berkeley family in the south. Half of the Burning Knights' troops gathered here. Further north, it is the Winston family's territory."
"What is the relationship between the Winston family and the Berkeley family?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
"The Winston family does not have a real great wizard, so the Winston family is more like a minister in front of the Berkeley family," Mego replied: "In the past, the teenagers of the Berkeley family went to Ghent City to study, and the Winston family kids would only revolve around them. If the Berkeley family members fought with other families, the Winston family kids would also join the Berkeley boys as soon as possible."
"Is there anything else?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.
"Oh, it's true that some people say that the Winstons had already secretly sworn allegiance to the Berkeley family, but these are all rumors," Mego replied.
"I'm afraid it's not a rumor," Ren Xiaosu said suddenly: "Remember, don't trust anyone other than me along the way, including two sheep men, especially the knights sent by the Li family to protect you, such as Mox."
Mego wondered: "What's wrong?"
"I won't tell you for now. You are so stupid that you are easily crippled," Ren Xiaosu said.
Mego: "…"
In the evening, when the caravan arrived outside the city of Vaduz, Ren Xiaosu frowned: "The towns in Yorkshire do not have walls, why does Vaduz have them?"
"It was built decades ago, saying that it was to prevent wild animals from harming the people," Mego said indifferently.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not think that this solid city wall was to guard against wild animals.
The appearance of the city walls in the Wizard Kingdom looks quite different from the Middle Earth barriers. The main structure is more like a castle, with whistle towers and arrow towers standing in a row, looking like spears pointing at the sky.
The city wall was built of whole gray bricks and stones. On the wall stood a strong soldier holding the Berkeley family's lion flag in one hand, and the other was on the hilt of the long sword at his waist.
"What does the flag of the Wizard Kingdom look like," Ren Xiaosu asked.
Mego recalled for a long time, but he didn't remember it for a long time. He didn't answer until a few minutes later: "It's a pattern of two long swords crossing together, and above the long sword is an eye of true vision."
"Didn't your family live in Ghent City before? Why can't you even remember this?" Ren Xiaosu said strangely.
"The flag of Ghent City has been withdrawn long ago. At first, the Norman family replaced the flag of Ghent City with their shield flag. Later, the Tudors wanted to replace the city with their Haidongqing flag," Mego shrugged and replied: "The final result is that no one's flag on the city is inserted, and there is nothing."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, thinking that the struggle within the wizard kingdom had become so fierce?
It is obvious that the Norman family and the Tudor family are not in the same way, which is very good news for me.
When the caravan wanted to enter the city gate, the soldiers on duty lined up at the gate stopped them, and the sergeant in iron armor ordered the soldiers: "Check their vehicles!"
As a result, Qian Weining drove the horse forward and said loudly: "I am Qian Weining, vice president of the Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce. All the documents for clearance are prepared. There is also a respected wizard, Lord Mego, behind. Do you want to waste his time?"
The soldiers at the door glanced at the back of the convoy, and Qian Weining pointed at Mego's carriage for the sergeant: "The carriage is the sign of the Eye of True Vision, you can go and send your greetings to Lord Mego."
After saying that, the chief sergeant walked towards Mego's carriage, and as he walked around, his armor clattered.
He came to Mego's car and knelt on one knee: "Dear Lord Mego."
Mego lifted the curtain and said, "Please get up, I'm just passing by Vaduz this time and will continue to head to Ghent, the north tomorrow."
"I understand," the chief sergeant stood up and waved to the soldiers at the city gate: "Let go, don't waste Lord Meigo's time."
The caravan slowly moved again, and they would repair the inn in the north of the town, where there were accommodation, as well as horse feed and hay prepared for the animals.
Ren Xiaosu watched all this silently from the side, and he suddenly understood why these people urged Mego to go on the road.
The people at the bottom of this wizard kingdom have a deformed worship and belief in wizards. No matter how many pass-through documents a caravan brings, it is not as useful as having a wizard in charge.
When the wizards pass through many towns, they can even save time to inspect goods. Even the town guards who insist on inspection will not inspect too carefully.
So, Mego's silly white sweetness was used as a pass by others.
As for Mego, he whispered to Ren Xiaosu on the side proudly: "How is it? Do you want to become a wizard when you see people respect me so much? Don't worry, I will definitely help you choose the Eye of True Vision this time."
Ren Xiaosu rolled his eyes. If it weren't for his followers and helping Mego with the fate of "protagonist", I'm afraid Mego wouldn't even know how he died...
