Chapter 257

    Then, Chechen saw a foot in deerskin boots sticking out of the carriage, followed by white trouser legs and yellow cloak.


    This is a young girl, about the same age as Chechen. The girl is tall and thin, looks very delicate, but the expression on her face is extremely firm - a man''s suggestion.


    Beside the girl stood a man who could not see his age. Between the ages of twenty and fifty. The man was wearing an inlaid lock armour and a fur with female feathers, which made people know that he was an aristocratic soldier at a glance.


    Everyone in the tavern was attracted by the two men who appeared at the door. When they entered the tavern, they automatically made way.


    Instead of looking for a table to sit down, they walked onto the stage where Oksana danced just now.


    The stage was originally higher than the surrounding area. They stood together, and everyone in the tavern could see them.


    "We need to recruit thirty people who are brave, obedient and have fought."


    It was not the man who spoke as a servant, but the girl. Her voice was small but crisp, and the whole tavern could hear it clearly.


    "How much?" asked a mercenary.


    "Two Tylers a week and three veterans," the man replied for the little hostess. In order to increase the feasibility of speaking, the man pulled a table from the side, and then scattered Taylor in a small leather bag on the table.


    Looking at Taylor still rolling on the table, the eyes of the mercenaries around him seemed to light up.


    "I, Robert from Germany, would like to work for miss!" shouted a mercenary with two pieces of leg guards tied to his legs. While talking, he plunged his head into the table and held three Taylor in his hand.


    More people couldn''t stand the temptation of money. They reported their names that few people had heard of and asked to join.


    "Hey, Captain Chechen. Won''t you join in the fun? I heard you were fired by the mercenary regiment. What''s the name of the current captain? Picro." Oksana curled her long hair with her slender fingers and joked to Chechen.


    "The current leader''s name is Pedro, my uncle, not picro. But oxana, your news is very well informed." Chechen and sparsokukotsky have decided to make a pilgrimage to Daguangming mountain, so they won''t be mercenaries. But Chechen wondered how Oksana knew about leaving long ago. According to the calculation of time, when she left her job, Oksana should no longer be in Werner.


    "Gypsies in the world are one family. As long as there are Gypsies, I can get the information I want to know. If you need this in the next Chechen regiment war, you can come to me and I will give you a discount." Oksana smiled mysteriously. Then she threw the ten Tylers into the sky and caught them again. After showing a winning expression to Chechen, he left proudly.


    On the other side, the lady and her servant also chose the mercenaries to hire. Chechen found that the mercenaries chosen by the female employer were basically mercenaries using short and wide swords and firearms. This configuration is generally used by caravans or valuable travel to prevent thieves.


    "It seems that he is also a fugitive aristocrat." Chechen couldn''t help thinking. When leaving Warsaw, Cherchen and priest saw many such nobles. They fled to the countryside with their families, servants and property. In order to protect their families and property from the invasion of green robbers, they often hired a team of mercenaries to escort them. However, sometimes mercenaries who are motivated by money will also change from protectors to predators. In this case, the only thing employers can do is pray that mercenaries will save their lives after they are satisfied with their property.


    After hiring enough people, the girl and the attendant were ready to leave. Before leaving, Chechen felt that the girl seemed to look at herself. But when Chechen looked back, the girl had gone out of the tavern.


    The girl left, but okzna came back. He sat in the seat he had just sat, opened his mouth and said to Chechen, "I''m going to go with you."


    "What''s the matter? We''re going to chenstohova." chechenqi said. What does a gypsy do when he goes to the holy land of Catholicism? Father sparsokukotsky also looked at Oksana strangely.


    "I''m in trouble. The drunken mercenary named Lev was a scoundrel. When I went out, Lev and his men looked at me with evil intentions."


    Chechen finally understood that Oksana wanted to ask herself and the priest to protect her.


    Chechen stretched out a flat hand to Oksana.


    "What do you mean?" Oksana asked with wide eyes. She knew the meaning of the gesture, but she couldn''t believe it.


    "Protection fee." Chechen said with a smile.


    "Black eat black!" Oksana thought gnashing her teeth.


    But the situation was stronger than others. Oksana finally reluctantly handed the ten Taylor to Chechen.


    "Let''s go."


    After receiving the money, Che Chen stood up. He and father sparsokukotsky walked out of the tavern next to Oksana.


    At a corner next to the tavern, Chechen really saw the mercenary named Lev looking at this side with several people. Chechen slightly lifted his robe and made the action of revealing his waist pistol. Lev and his men hesitated.


    "Walk slowly, don''t let them see you''re nervous." Cherchen whispered to Oksana.


    "I know! You don''t need a child to teach me." Oksana''s voice was still angry. She was still angry about money. She was really a miser.


    Chechen and sparsokukotsky took their horses and took Oksana away at their usual walking speed.


    Oaksana''s convertible is in the corner of the wall in vadovace Town, where Gypsies gather. There are more than a dozen families who live in the convertible.


    Oksana came to her convertible. Her cabriolet was small, with three buckets on it in addition to some necessities. She fed a handful of dried beans to the pack horse pulling the cart and was about to leave town. When the other Gypsies saw that Oksana was leaving, they put down what they were doing. They made Chechen''s incomprehensible gestures, like saying goodbye to Oksana.


    "Where are you going now?" Chechen asked.


    "Of course, we go to the next town. We Gypsies are dandelions and can survive anywhere," oxana said. There was pride in that tone.


    "But we''re going to chinstohova," said father spasokukotsky. Going to the so-called next town is not in their plan.


    "I don''t care. You took my money and of course you had to escort me to a safe place." Oksana took it for granted.


    Father sparsokukotsky looked at Cherchen and asked the head to make up his mind. Chechen felt that he didn''t have to say that he had told Oksana. Anyway, he was not in a hurry to go to Daguang Mingshan monastery. Chechen decided to send Oksana first.


    In this way, they just entered the town and left again soon. Along the way, Chechen met another group of people in the same direction as them. Some of them are going to Warsaw. These people who don''t know the truth are mainly aristocrats. They mistakenly think Warsaw will be a pure land; Others, like Cherchen, are going to qinstohova. Most of them are poor and little nobles. According to them, King Carl x once issued a royal decree to order the Swedish army not to enter Guangming Mountain Monastery.


    Go to a fork in the road, which leads to chinstohova on the left and to the town of oxana on the right. Here they met a group of Swedish dragoons. The Dragon cavalry wore red uniforms, long swords hanging from their waist, carbines and wide brimmed hats behind them. Behind them were several carriages full of food. It seemed that they had just collected supplies from nearby villages.


    It was only a very ordinary encounter, but it didn''t happen. They caused trouble. It turned out that Kraft hosson, the captain of the Dragon cavalry, was a horse lover. He couldn''t help being greedy when he saw the horse riding by Chechen and father sparsokukotsky.


    Kraft Hawthorne stopped in front of oxana''s convertible.


    "Stop!" shouted kraft hosson.


    Seeing that it was not themselves who caused trouble, other pedestrians passing through the open carriage hurried to speed up their steps and stay away from the land of right and wrong.


    At this time, the convertible and Chechen were surrounded by the Dragon cavalry.


    "What can I do for you, my lord?" father spasokukotsky asked respectfully. Neither he nor Chechen wants to get into trouble.


    "Your two horses have been requisitioned by the Swedish army. But rest assured that we will pay," said kraft hosson. His men laughed ill intentioned.


    "Sir, we are all good people. And His Majesty King Carl x once announced that he and his army would not invade anyone''s property," Chechen said to kraft Hawthorne.


    In fact, the most effective way to deal with such people is to take out the pass order given to him by King Carl x, so that no one dare to be rude to him. But Chechen chose to be reasonable.


    Huo song was amused when he saw that Chechen naively mentioned the king''s order.


    After laughing, Huo Song said to Chechen, "of course, we won''t infringe on your property. We''ll buy them."


    "We don''t sell?" Chechen refused.


    Seeing Chechen talking so seriously, Oksana felt defeated by Chechen. Why is such a talented person in military affairs so ignorant in human and worldly sophistication? These dragon riders didn''t know they were going to rob, but he couldn''t see it.


    "You can''t stop selling, or you''ll be against the Swedish army. Then you and your horse won''t be protected by the king''s orders," hosson said.


    This is the so-called paradox. If a person chooses to give his property to the Swede, he will gain worthless military tickets or white ious; If he chooses not to cooperate, he is the enemy of the Swedish army, and the army can take everything from him free of charge.


    Che Chen figured out the paradox. He was completely angered by the robber''s behavior.


    Seeing that Che Chen was furious and wanted to work hard with Huo song, the surrounding dragon cavalry soldiers were also a little nervous. They pulled out the long sword around their waist one after another.


    "Chechen, don''t be impulsive. We have ''that'' thing."


    At the critical moment, father sparsokukotsky reminded Cherchen. Cherchen has a pass given by Carl X. Cherchen hasn''t used it once before. Father sparsokukotsky also agrees with this move, because he doesn''t want to receive the favor of Carl x, but now it''s time to use it.


    After father sparsokukotsky''s reminder, Cherchen also remembered the pass. He quickly put his hand into his pocket.


    Just as Chechen was about to take out his pass, a sound of wheels and hoofs came. He and the Dragon cavalry were attracted.


    This carriage was the girl and her attendants who came to the tavern to recruit mercenaries. The attendant rode on a high horse, followed by the mercenaries they recruited, with 70 or 80 people. Obviously, they recruited more than one tavern.


    Chechen didn''t see the girl. Obviously, she should be in the carriage.


    Seeing such a large group of people in groups, Huo song was obviously a little flustered. Then he looked angry again.


    Huo song''s anger is also justified. Because according to the order of general alvid wiedenberg, no Polish nobleman is allowed to recruit so many mercenaries to swagger through the market.


    He put down the matter of Cherchen for the time being.


    "You two, go and ask the people in the carriage why they disobeyed general alvid Wittenberg and whether they wanted to rebel," Kraft hosson said to the two dragoons.


    Che Chen saw two dragon cavalry go towards the carriage. Then they talked to the man, and a dragon cavalry rode towards the door of the carriage.


    The emergency happened at this moment. Two mercenaries with a long halberd hooked the Dragon cavalry off the horse with the side of the halberd with an axe hook, and the Dragon cavalry who talked to the man on the horse jerked up, then shook twice and fell to the ground.


    Now, the stupidest people know that these people have bad intentions for the Swedish army.


    Although Kraft Hawthorne was greedy, he also showed the excellent military quality of a Swedish soldier. He commanded the remaining ten dragoons to dismount, take the horses as a shelter, and then began to fight back with carbines.


    Father sparsokukotsky had already pulled Cherchen and Oksana to hide under the open carriage. Father sparsokukotsky also slipped a stone under the wheels of the carriage.


    The exchange of fire lasted only one round. Lying under the convertible, Cherchen saw a horse jump into the Swedish dragon cavalry, followed by two screams. Then, Chechen saw two red figures fall to the ground.


    During this period, the pack horse of the horse cart was scared and jumped up, but the carriage didn''t move because of the stone placed on the wheel by the priest.


    More and more people rushed into the battle group. Chechen saw all kinds of shoes and boots stepping on messy footsteps.


    "Ah!"


    Chechen heard a cry of pain. It was Kraft Hawthorne''s voice.


    "Who are you?"


    Then, Chechen heard Kraft Hawthorne''s painful and angry voice.


    "My name is Natalie kishka."


    Che Chen recognized that it was the girl''s voice.
