I was beheaded in the Middle Ages for 20 years

Chapter 97 Departing from Tamubao!

No, Ella is going to do this little trick again?

Xu Siling sat on the bench, covering half of her face with a book like yesterday, revealing her brown eyes and looking at the two girls.

Ella clearly knew that Falina knew everything, but now she still asked, what exactly was she trying to do.

After all, even if she didn't say anything today, Xu Siling would still sleep in the same bed with her.

Ella's expression was very indifferent, her gray eyes seemed lifeless, and she didn't seem to be intentional at all, but more like the host's concern for the guests.

The two had evil intentions, and Farina was hesitant about what Ella asked.

"What's wrong."

Falina's mint green eyes flashed with determination. She really didn't expect Ella to ask herself the same question as yesterday.

Last time, she said she wanted to sleep more tightly, so she slept alone in a small bed. Seeing Ella and Xu Siling sleeping in a big bed together, she felt resentful in her heart.

So this time I want to sleep a little wider? Can I sleep with Mr. Siling?

She said with a joking expression.

"I slept in a tight space yesterday, so I'll sleep a little wider today~"

Ella nodded: "Okay, today you and I will sleep on the big bed, and my husband will sleep on the small bed."

Ok?

Falina and Xu Siling were both a little surprised.

"Why do you and I sleep on the big bed?"

"Don't you want to sleep wider? We don't have the same stature as my husband, so it will be very comfortable to sleep on a big bed together." Ella blinked, "Or Falina doesn't want to sleep with me, she wants to sleep with her husband. "

As soon as these words came out, Xu Siling quickly blocked the book from his sight and stopped reading.

And Falina’s expression is also wonderful.

Her face was flushed, her red lips were slightly open, and she hesitated for a long time before answering.

"Of course not. I don't want to sleep with Mr. Siling either."

Xu Siling, who was standing next to her, was so impressed that she even wanted to give him a thumbs up.

The three people in the whole room knew that Farina was interested in him, but it was impossible for Farina to admit that she wanted to sleep with him like Ella.

There is no reason to admit that you want to sleep with the other person's husband in front of his wife.

It’s not okay to admit that you are biased against Ella and don’t want to sleep with Ella.

So Farina had no other choice but to accept it. It has to be said that Ella still had Farina in her arms.

It's just strange that Ella didn't want to sleep with her today, but chose to sleep with Farina. Is this part of her plan?

Xu Siling doesn't understand, and Farina doesn't understand either.

"How about I sleep on the bench, and Ella can sleep on the crib." Xu Siling pretended to cough and said as if nothing had happened.

"No, it's the same as yesterday. There is no reason for a husband to sleep on a bench."

Faced with Ella's unhesitating rejection, Xu Siling was convinced that sleeping with Falina must be part of the plan.

Even if she gave up the opportunity to sleep with him, she would sleep with Farina.

Xu Siling looked at the small bed. It was a bit difficult for him to sleep on it, but it was better than sleeping on a bench.

Falina did not refute, but started to pack the bed. She still didn't understand that Ella was teasing her, she just thought that Ella was weird.

Seeing this, Xu Siling sighed softly inwardly. It's not like he hadn't thought about telling Falina everything Ella knew. Even Ella knew she was in his bed yesterday, but still chose not to say anything or reveal it.

Instead, he deliberately said many things in front of her that were meant for her to hear.

What he said last night seemed like a provocation, but also more like Ella’s confidence in herself.

Logically speaking, for the sake of fairness, Xu Siling should tell Farina everything and not keep Farina in the dark.

Just thinking about telling everything to Farina, wouldn't this be a harm to Farina?

And Xu Siling still doesn't understand what Ella said about leaving Farina to her to deal with.

Now that he is around anyway, he is not worried about what will happen to Farina, which is okay.

After making the bed, Xu Siling slept on the small bed, which had the faint body fragrance of Falina and Ella.

Smelling this pleasant smell, Xu Siling was distracted and found it difficult to fall asleep.

The room with the lights blown out was very dark, and he saw Ella and Farina under the covers, talking to each other in whispers without knowing what they were talking about.

It could be seen that the conversation was quite lively, but the voice was too low. Even though they were so close, they couldn't hear anything.

After torturing herself for a while, Xu Siling slowly fell asleep.

Departure from Tamubao on the same day.

Xu Siling put on everything and sat on the horse, majestic. The clean burqa on her body made her look extremely energetic.

The burqas of the soldiers around him were all embroidered with the coat of arms of Raya Town, but his burqa was embroidered with the coat of arms of the Raya family, showing his status as a knight.

He was riding a large military horse, the horse's back was decorated with ornate bells and reins, and the clean horse clothes were also embroidered with the coat of arms of the Raya family.

The men of the Frofen family who followed him lined up in a neat queue, their clean chainmail robes shimmering with cold light. Although the robes on their bodies were embroidered with the coat of arms of Raya Town, they were blown away in the wind. The rustling flag is the style of the Raya family.

The quality of horses varies, and many are farm horses borrowed from various places, although farm horses are not easy to fight and walk for a long time.

Fortunately, Raya Town is not very far from Tamubao. Even if the journey is not fast, you can reach Tamubao on the same day, so the farm horses can still hold up.

After all, this trip is not a battlefield, and there is no need to use farm horses to rush on the battlefield.

Originally, the Frofen family did not have so many chainmail robes. Fortunately, Fei'er had guessed this in advance and sent several pieces of armor equipment in advance, allowing Xu Siling to make his own decision.

Although the quality of the armor weapons sent is not very good, some years are a little old, and the hair embroidery is difficult to cover up, but it is better than nothing. Take good care of it, wear it well, and wear the leather armor outside. Cover, and paired with a burqa, you will immediately look powerful.

In the Middle Ages, many soldiers still liked to wear leather armor with chainmail robes until the emergence of plate armor.

It's just that plate armor currently only has plate and chain armor, which is relatively expensive and even ordinary knights can't afford it.

The chainmail robe on Xu Siling was given by Fei'er. It was of high quality. It was not blessed by plate chain armor or leather armor, and it was extremely protective.

Many people's impression of leather armor comes from movies. The leather armor worn by the elves would break open with a single cut, and blood would flow out.

At the beginning, Xu Siling also had this concept for leather armor.

It wasn't until he actually came into contact with leather armor that he realized that leather armor was not as fragile as he thought, but was actually very practical.

Leather armor will become extremely hard after being soaked with a special formula. If you chop with a one-handed sword, if the force is not good, it will only make a scratch on it, but it may not directly damage the flesh behind the leather armor.

Three layers of hard leather armor are stacked. At a distance of twenty meters, even an English longbow that is fully drawn may not be able to shoot an arrow through it. Therefore, many soldiers still like to wear leather armor with chainmail robes, but the leather armor is under the robe and many people cannot see it.

Xu Siling was very satisfied with the team he had just established. After saying hello, Terry and others mounted their horses.

Everyone was very excited and happy about traveling to Tamubao.

Who would have thought that before leaving Tamubao, they were still executioners in the eyes of others, and when they appeared in front of the people of Tamubao again, they were already soldiers of the knights of Raya Town!

Xu Siling led a ten-man troop and rode down the hillside.

At the end of the team, there was also a transport carriage.

In the Middle Ages, carriages were widely used to transport people and goods. The carriages were diverse and simple in structure, adapting to various road conditions and needs in Europe.

Carriages were constructed of wood and iron to ensure their strength and durability.

The frame consists of beams and crossbars, resembling a simplified frame structure, and the wheels are wooden wheels with reinforced edges for added stability.

The carriages had no fixed doors but were covered with canvas or leather to protect the cargo from weather and weather.

The groom sat at the front, controlling the direction.

At the rear under the canvas, Ella, Falina and some of the accompanying servants were among them, as well as some supplies for travel.

Speaking of Ella and Falina, Xu Siling felt strange.

After the two slept in the same bed that night, they both seemed to be different people when they woke up the next day.

They often chatted together, and Farina became less hostile towards Ella. The tenderness and happiness in her green eyes were not fake.

Ella also accepted Farina a lot, and the two were like good friends, always staying together no matter what.

Even Falina was with Ella, working on the crafting table together.

This left Xu Siling confused.

You must know that two people should be incompatible with each other.

After all, Farina knew that she was being used by Ella, and Ella was an extremely possessive girl. How could she easily accept Farina's existence?

Xu Siling didn't know what they talked about that night, and didn't even dare to ask, and Farina and Ella didn't take the initiative to tell them.

All I know is that the relationship between the two has improved a lot, which is at least a good thing. Xu Siling is too lazy to break it all.

Xu Siling took ten armed troops and a carriage to wait at the gate of Raya Town.

Raya Town will not accept new outsiders during this period, so tents have been set up on the edge of the city wall, which is only increasing.

These people were managed by the government officials of Raya Town, who deliberately distanced themselves and were not allowed to gather. For some patients who were not seriously ill with the Black Death, Raya Town would also provide some medicinal herbs to relieve them.

Seeing Xu Siling's flag and majestic appearance, they did not dare to get close and just watched from a distance.

Henry saw Xu Siling at the city gate and ran over regardless of the distance.

That warm and familiar smile made Xu Siling helpless.

"The knights of justice in Raya Town seem to be ready for today's trip." Henry glanced at the Frofen family soldiers behind him and couldn't help but nod in praise: "They are all very impressive, very good."

Xu Siling rode on the horse, looked at Henry and asked, "Miss Laya, are you ready?"

"Get ready, get ready to travel. You and your soldiers will start later. The carriage will stay at the rear of Miss Raya's troops."

Xu Siling responded, and Henry patted Xu Siling's thigh.

"You really need soldiers and knight retinues. Why don't you find your old friends in Raya Town and I can help you find a way."

Xu Siling looked at the excited-looking Frofen family soldiers behind her, then looked at Henry and shook his head with a smile.

“Aren’t they good enough.”

"It's enough to show off." Henry lowered his voice, "Xu, it's not like you don't understand. There are too many men waiting to eat in Raya Town. With their skills, they are more than enough to serve as your knight's retinue or as an errand soldier." , much better than the people of the Frofen family."

This is the truth. It's not that Henry was against the executioner. If he was really against the executioner, Henry wouldn't have had a good relationship with Xu Siling in these years.

But according to the standard professional quality of soldiers, the men in Raya Town are really much better than the men in the Frofen family.

Men in the Middle Ages had to learn the "Six Arts of the Gentleman" from the time they became sensible. Horseback riding, slashing, killing and archery were the basics.

Although the quality of learning and training methods varies from place to place, there are at least mandatory requirements every year and every month, so the physical fitness of men in the Middle Ages was pretty good, except for not having enough to eat.

As for the men from the Executioner family, because they are out of touch with society and they are not forced to train regularly, the children of the Executioner family can do whatever they want, just like being free-range.

Therefore, according to the professionalism of soldiers, normal medieval men would meet the standards better than men from the executioner family.

Henry's words were telling Xu Siling.

Today's trip is not to go to the battlefield. For this family of executioners, Florfen, the men act as soldiers, and there is no problem in supporting the scene.

But we should also consider the future.

The kingdom is still at war with England, although the Black Death and the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Crécy have resulted in a temporary truce between the two sides.

But everyone in the kingdom knows that the war with England will not end easily, and it is certain that the two sides will collide again.

There will always be a day when Xu Siling goes to the battlefield. If the soldiers around him are still members of the executioner family, what is the difference between delivering food to the enemy in the eyes of the enemy?

After all, by the standards of soldiers, men from executioner families are really not as good as men who grew up in normal families.

Xu Siling did not deny it.

"You said, I will think about it carefully."

Henry smiled and said: "Anyway, if you have any ideas, just tell me and I will definitely make arrangements for you. I don't know how many men in Raya Town want to work with you. As long as you are willing to speak up and the salary is high, they will be happy."

Because the troops stopped moving, Luoshui and Vali were also behind the transport carriage.

Vali peeked his head out of the carriage, saw his father, and waved happily to say hello.

He hasn't seen his father for many days.

Henry couldn't help but smile with relief when he saw his son.

"Xu, thank you for being willing to take care of Vali."

"Have you ever thought about it, Henry. It may not be a good thing for Valli to be with me."

"I know, but I don't care. Instead of letting this child Vali be a gangster in Raya Town, why not learn from you? At least I won't worry about him getting bad and getting into trouble. In the current state of the kingdom, there is no corner where there is no trouble. Give people survival.”

While the two were chatting, the city gate opened wide and Mayfair's team came out.
