Chapter 259: Trouble come

After Cook entered the Ceylon Empire, he was surprised by what he saw. The wealth here is extremely polarized. From the clothes of the people on the street, it can be seen that some wealthy people go in and out hundreds of servants, and some nobles. Even the knights of the brigade are accompanied by a large number of servants, these servants are equipped with weapons, and their clothes are extremely gorgeous.
On the contrary, there are very few civilians on the street. They are all dressed as slaves. The slaves have the clothes prescribed by the master and the badges owned by the master. These people are rickety, dressed in tatters, and look good. They are obviously suffering. Extremely.
"Oh!" No one in a caravan like Cook dared to make trouble. After all, the mercenaries who escorted it didn't matter and couldn't eat this bowl of rice. For the mercenaries, the robbers were certainly a threat, and these local people The nobility is also a threat.
Cook was also surprised to find that after the caravan entered the Ceylon Empire, the guarding mercenaries planted a flag in front of the caravan with a lily flower and a shield.
This is the coat of arms on the mainland. The origin of this family can be seen from the coat of arms, but Cook does not understand this, but Cook clearly sees some small cities directly let go, and medium-sized cities are just acting. Anyway, Cook The carriage being driven has not been inspected once.
However, Cook and his party were still in trouble. When they were in Niada, the southern important town of the Ceylon Empire, Cook and his party were subjected to extremely severe interrogation. Cook even heard a distance of more than 20 meters from the city gate. Locally, the dispute between the mercenary captain and the inspector.
"Do you see it, do you see it, we belong to the Silver Lily family, do you see it!"
"What's wrong with Silver Lily, this is Niada City, not Silver Lily's territory!"
"Hello, you are fine! Disperse, disperse, let the uncle check, but this uncle, I hope you don't come to the imperial capital in the future, hum!"
"Imperial capital, what about the imperial capital? I'm doing random checks according to the imperial law!"
"Captain, Captain, don't be familiar with this guy, he's, wait for the brothers to find out where his house is, we will slowly clean up him, let him know our silver lily mercenary group is powerful!"
"Yes, isn't it just a captain? If we weren't in the army anymore, this raised old man could kill him with one hand!"
"Humph!"
When Cook heard what these mercenaries said, he couldn't help being even more surprised. The mercenaries here are even stronger than the soldiers, and listen to the tone, the Silver Lily family is actually capable of pulling the army out to be mercenaries. Obviously they are extremely powerful. .
Fortunately, all the procedures of the Karoo Chamber of Commerce are complete, and the personnel also have procedures. Although the inspection team leader carefully checked twice, he still found nothing of value.
Of course, this time the leader of the Karoo Chamber of Commerce's two space bags next to the small soldiers could not be checked out. After a full delay of more than an hour, they were finally on the road.
On the subsequent journey, Cook finally saw what is called making things difficult. The patrol team conducts random checks. Even a village is also routinely checked by the sheriff. The caravan walked less than 50 kilometers in a day, because there were seven inspections on the road and four patrols. , Three villages and towns.
"Damn it!" The mercenary captain was already extremely annoyed, and if the goods could not reach the place, he would lose money.
"Captain, this Duke Lu Dongxi is simply too much. There are more and more tax cards. Look how many times you have checked this day."
"That's right, isn't Lu Dongxi relying on his daughter being the wife of the fifth prince, dare to be so arrogant? If it wasn't for the third prince, it would be his turn to be arrogant!"
"That is, Captain, if this continues, how will we do the task in the future?"
Cook's hearing is extremely sensitive, and the conversations of the guards have been overheard, but Cook did not say anything. You must know that he is the murderer of the three princes and that the Ceylon Empire is still offering a reward for himself. These people are not. Know who you are.
"Hill!" Cook aliased to Hill, which is Cook's surname. Of course, it is no problem to call Cook. The name Cook can be seen everywhere, just like Lucy and Nick.
"Come, here!" Cook saw that the captain called himself the coachman and ran over immediately.
"Hill, our itinerary is very troublesome now, so I want you to drive to Ceylon City first in the steward’s carriage. How about it? I saw that you are very talented in driving carriages on this road, so I gave you this opportunity. Yes, if you do a good job, you will be paid after you go back, and you will be upgraded." The coachman captain is a sturdy middle-aged man who is very experienced in driving horses.
"Thank you, Captain!" Although Cook is very reluctant, Cook can't say that he can communicate with horses, and he has a small arrow in his hand, a bone demon, and there is also Ka Ka. Cook has to pretend to be excited. Replied.
Coach drivers are divided into several levels. Cooks like apprentices have formal coach drivers, as well as coach drivers who lead the first carriage in front of them. Not only must they be familiar with the road, but they must also be able to understand the road conditions. The most senior is the coachman. team leader.
After some tossing, Cook drove towards Ceylon City in the carriage of the fleet manager. Two horses of medium strength were pulling the carriage. They were neither very good nor very bad. There was another one with Cook. Mercenary deputy captain.
Cook looked at the mercenary lieutenant captain next to him, using his to know that the Karoo Chamber of Commerce transaction was not so simple this time. Obviously there were some prohibited items, otherwise he would not do it, but Cook did not intend to do anything. It's enough to do your own duty with peace of mind. Cook can't help cursing Gerry, knowing that he has to do something important this time, and he will do it.
What Cook didn't know was that Gerry was earnestly persuading Murphy: "Daughter, how are you getting along with Mrs. Hill? Is Mrs. Hill satisfied with you? Look at how good the leader is. Not only to become a baron, but also to have huge assets. Although the team leader already has a fiancée, you have to hold onto it. This time the team leader is said to be looking for Connie. Obviously the team leader still doesn’t give up on Connie. , My daughter, you are...!"
"Father, are you annoying, the daughter is still young?" Murphy rubbed his forehead and closed the ledger. Gerry gave it to Murphy to see. Murphy was very depressed. His father was always Let yourself approach Mrs. Hill.
"Oh, President Gerry, why the two father and daughter are at odds again." Old Hill walked in at this time, looked at the appearance of the two father and daughter, and asked with a smile.
"No, no, Mr. Hill, please sit down, Murphy, don’t get Mr. Hill coffee!" Gerry saw that it was Cook’s father and immediately greeted him with a smile. Old Hill is now in the Chamber of Commerce. Warehouse manager.
"Haha! No, no, I'm here to hand in last month's warehouse account book..." Old Hill replied with a smile.
Seeing Murphy's back, Gerry said to himself: "Daughter, father, I can only help you this time, I hope the head can't find Connie back!" Then he chatted with Old Hill with a smile. Gerry has been a mercenary all his life, and what he says always makes Old Hill excited, and when it comes to being a fisherman in his life, Old Hill has been in contact with ordinary people throughout his life, while Gerry has dealt with everyone. , So every small chat Gerry always makes Old Hill happy.
Cook drove the carriage and galloped on the road. Cook finally found that something was wrong, because after changing the carriage, there were still people who tracked their carriage if they didn’t, and there were more and more people sitting there. The nervous heartbeat of the mercenary deputy captain beside Cook also proved this.
"Stop, check routine!" Finally, outside a town, Cook's carriage was stopped.
"This brother, this brother, my master...puff! Puff!" The mercenary deputy captain beside him crouched and smiled close to the two soldiers, but after the incident, even Cook was taken aback by the two soldiers. Was quickly assassinated by this mercenary captain.
"Puff!" The mercenary deputy captain pulled out two daggers and threw them vigorously. The soldier who was about to ring the alarm was shot in the throat by a dagger.
"Hurry up!" Seeing that Cook hadn't moved, the deputy captain of the mercenary immediately roared in a low voice, and then he was about to pounce on the remaining two soldiers. The patrol was five.
Cook said with a wry smile: "How to go?"
"Nonsense, directly..." Before the mercenary deputy captain finished speaking, he stopped immediately, because there were several heavily armed black knights on both sides of the carriage.
"Hehe, the knight captain of the Silver Lily family actually came to be a mercenary, and hey!" One of the knights with a silver badge on the black clothes hehe laughed.
"The black guard of the empire has become someone else's running dog!" The mercenary deputy captain replied without showing weakness.
"Haha, haha, what about the lackeys, my lackeys will live well, and you can only become a pile of rubbish! Kill me!" The man in black laughed, then ridiculed, and even gave orders. Order to kill the grid.
Cook smiled helplessly, then raised his hands and shouted: "I am innocent, I am innocent~EbookFREE.me~Can you let me go first!"
"Haha. Haha, I'll send you on the road first!" A black-clothed guard heard Cook's shout and laughed, then took a crossbow from his horse and shot it directly at Cook, obviously Said to kill Cook first.
"Oh! You people, there is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell!" Cook saw the black guard's behavior and slowly put down his hands and sighed.
"Aren't you afraid of the silver lily family's revenge? Are you black guards really not afraid?" The mercenary deputy captain was slowly surrounded by a group of black guard knights in front, and asked loudly.
The black guard wearing a silver badge laughed loudly: "Haha, haha, if you are all dead, then who knows that our black guard made it? You know that your silver lily mercenary group is still dozens of kilometers away. Outside!"
"Damn it, you did this on purpose, didn't you?" The mercenary deputy captain immediately woke up and asked with regret.
"Hmph, go to and ask! Except for the people on the carriage, the rest will be killed!" The black guard waved his hand heavily, and the black guards raised their weapons and rushed towards the carriage.
