The Emerald Tower

Chapter 12: An uneasy road

Like a driver with ten years of driving experience, Dean firmly grasped the reins, and allowed himself to have a very comfortable posture, so as not to be overworked; at this moment, Dean is following in the caravan of businessmen. Like those merchants, there was no flaw in the slightest, especially after he spoke the authentic Southern Three County accent, several merchants with the same accent approached him.

These merchants, like Dean, did not have any guards, and they only carried a small amount of goods-not only were able to carry so many goods, or could not afford to hire guards, at least, in Dean's eyes. , It is certain that a few of these businessmen who have talked with him are very valuable.

   And why do you do this?

   Except for the extremely precious items, there is only one possibility to open up trade routes.

And after about ten minutes, Dean was more inclined to the latter-after all, if you really carry an extremely precious item, even if you seem to be alone on the surface, you should secretly arrange some arrangements; at least, One or two good hands are inevitable; and obviously, there are no such good hands around him.

   "Ike, what are you carrying?"

   A businessman who also drove a solo cart and paralleled Dean asked like this——Ike, the pseudonym that Dean casually reported when the previous few people introduced each other.

   "Some herbs that are not very valuable, but enough to pay back!"

   Dean answered in the voice of a businessman.

   In fact, because of the competitive relationship between businessmen, their products are kept secret; therefore, vagueness is the mainstream way of talking between them.

"Is that right?"

The businessman who asked the question obviously didn’t believe Dean’s answer, but he didn’t pursue it either. Instead, he started talking with a few other merchants who spoke a southern accent; and then, after Dean’s deliberate avoidance, he gradually changed from He broke away from this circle and became a real marginal character.

   And this is exactly what Dean needs-if it is too compelling, if it disappears suddenly, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

Under Dean's deliberate maintenance, the time lasted until noon. In the face of the noon sun, most of the businessmen chose to rest, especially the caravans with escorts, and parked their carriages on the roadside. , And such an approach is to make more business people learn.

   Undoubtedly, following these caravans with guards makes these traders feel safer.

   However, some merchants are still rushing, hoping to enter the next town before the sky is completely dark-Horseshoe Town is also in charge of the second son of the Marquis of York.

The second son of the Marquis of York, is in charge of two collars, of which Tijiao is one collar, and the four towns including Horn, Horseshoe, Shield, and Mask are the other — Of course, judging from the names of these towns and cities, it is enough to show the love of the Marquis of York and the York family for their military career.

The straight-line distance between Horn Town and Horseshoe Town is less than 100 kilometers. For merchants who own horses, unless they are carrying heavy goods, they can arrive in one day; and the other people who make them hurry on the road One reason is because of the safe environment in Yorkshire.

   The Marquis of York has considerable enthusiasm for the suppression of bandits, and this is good news for most businessmen who cannot afford the price of the guard.

   Therefore, these lone traders dared to break away and chose to go fast alone.

   Otherwise, even if they have double the profit, they will choose to gather together and move forward-there are many courageous businessmen, but more cowardly.

Naturally, Dean’s carriage did not stop, joined the rushing member, and quickly broke away-his goal was not Horseshoe Town, or even a city under the second son of the Marquis of York. Four Any one of these towns; in order to be able to reach the camp of the Fecharen Knights within a month, even with horses, he must speed up, not to mention that when he arrives at the Fecharen Knights, he must Have enough preparation time.

   And this is undoubtedly destined for Dean's starry night, and must choose the best route.

Therefore, in the afternoon, Dean deviated from the original route, left the territory of the second son of the Marquis of York, and entered the territory of another baron. In that town, Dean only supplemented the dry food and water. , And the horse's fodder, set off again.

He stopped the carriage until it was completely dark; he untied the horse from the frame and put the feed on, and almost instantly, the horse's head came over—mixed with dried carrots. The first-class feed for mung bean cakes is generally fed to war horses; for the horses pulling carts, it is obviously a rare delicacy.

After tapping the horse's head for a few times, Dean took out the dry food and water-the dry food is a dry cake made from grated grains and steamed with water. There is some salt in it, which is not light and tasteless, but it is definitely not. What kind of delicious taste, especially the dry and hard touch, the teeth are almost always sore.

   seems to be inferior to horse feed.

However, Dean didn’t care about it at all. He had eaten food even worse than this. What's more, if you want a horse to run fast, you must need good feed. He doesn’t want to be on the way. Wasting time and money, changing horses again-although he is still rich now, Dean, who knows what he wants to do~www.readwn.com~, does not think that he can have the squandering capital, even if he is taken with him Everything is processed, but it is just enough for the initial expenses.

And it is precisely because of this that Dean thought about cooperating with Longlang to develop the smuggling channel-of course, in that letter, Dean didn't say much, but just made some vague suggestions enough for Longlang to understand The vocabulary, and a specific time.

   Two months!

Throwing away the time on the road, Dean set himself a one-month deadline to completely take over the Knights of Faichalun-of course it was a bit hasty, but for wanting to participate in a war in less than a year For Dean, it is a bit extravagant; especially now when Dean still has nothing.

   Therefore, Dean added a ‘thorough’ prefix before the deadline.

"It's October 1501. According to memory, the first Blood Moon War broke out in 1502.9...Xiti used about 40,000 infantry, 10,000 light cavalry, 5,000 heavy cavalry, and about 20,000 auxiliary troops. A total of nearly 80,000 troops raided York City, the center of Yorkshire... and the Fecharan Knights were just a local knights. The total number of troops, even the auxiliary soldiers, was only less than 50..."

   Dean sitting on the ground leaning on the car shaft silently recalled everything in his memory. The strong digital contrast made Dean frown, and his thinking almost fell into a stalemate.

   But, soon, the sound of horse hooves from a distance interrupted Dean's thinking.
