Naruto: History of the Warring States Period

Chapter 633

Moonlight is like water.

Today’s day is extremely dark. At this moment, a bright moon hangs in the sky, and the soft and delicate moonlight is spreading evenly on the land. The white moonlight shines on the land and casts a piece of light on the earth.

On the road leading to the imperial capital, Yuzan and his team were driving slowly.

Under the moonlight, the convoy drove slowly, Yuzan was just as he was in the imperial capital, holding a thick book and looking attentively, while Yuzan sat quietly opposite Yuzan, looking at Yuzan quietly. I don’t know if it was because the temperature in the car was too high or because I drank some red wine prepared by Yuzan in the car. At this time, Yuuki’s pretty face was blushing.

At this moment, Charles, the steward in the team, ran over on horseback, knocked on the window lightly, and whispered:

“His Royal Highness, we are about to arrive at Calais, a small northern city closest to the imperial capital.”

Yuzan’s heart moved.

“Just to Calais? Then live in Calais tonight!”

Yuzan opened the window of the carriage, looked at the sky, and smiled.

Although it was already night at this time, even though the city gates were not allowed to be opened at night according to the imperial decree, this was only for the common people and those powerless little nobles. This kind of decree was for the great nobles and the high-ranking imperial nobles. For those with powerful hands, it is not very binding.

Therefore, when the entire team of more than 3,000 people arrived at the city of Calais, Charles had already gone to tell the city lord of Calais the identity of General Yuzan and Stockton in the team.

And the city lord of Calais did not have the slightest embarrassment. Even the guard, who was actually a regular Northern Army, was released. However, Yuzan thought that if all three thousand people were brought into the city. I was afraid that it would be difficult for the city to tolerate it for a while, so at Yuzan’s request, only five hundred Yuzan’s elites followed the team into the city, and the rest were camped outside the city.

After the team entered the city of Calais, under the leadership of the city lord of Calais, the team came to a building in this small city that was almost close to the height of the city wall. This was a hotel called Calais Hotel.

With white stone walls, this hotel is nearly 10 meters high and divided into four floors. The area of ​​the entire hotel is second to none in a small city like Calais. It is much larger than the city lord’s mansion. It seems that the background of this hotel is not simple.

The sign swayed gently in the night wind. Under the introduction of the lord of Calais, Yuzan and others checked into this hotel, which is the largest hotel in Calais.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The door had been opened long ago, and there was a short and chubby guy inside, probably the boss here, and he ran out quickly. He nodded and bowed, and sent a few people from the hotel to help pull the horse. .

Yuzan, Yuuki, Stockton and others walked into the hotel and saw that the environment of this place was not bad, very clean, but it seemed that the business was not very good, there were not many people, and there were not many people in the spacious hall.

But immediately after Yuzan thought of the diligence of the city lord of Calais, he was relieved. Now that I know of his arrival, with the diligence of this city lord at this time, it must have been arranged long ago. And dismissed all the idlers in this hotel.

Although he is only an unfavored prince, they have General Stockton, the former commander of the Northern Legion who is about to become the third person in the Imperial Military Command in their line, so they cannot tolerate this city lord not to fawn. .

However, Charles next to Yuzan discovered a detail, that is, the tables, chairs and counters in this hotel are all new. It seems that some paint hasn’t dried up yet, and it seems that no one is using it. But it made the butler, who was born as a scout, a trace of guard in his heart.

At this time, the short and fat boss had come up, his clothes were very clean, and his peasy eyes were full of shrewdness. Since Charles was on guard, he did not let the short and fat boss send him. Feeding the horse, but ordered a dozen guards to do it, and then ordered a dozen guards to clean out a few clean rooms.

Yuzan looked at the several grooms and waiters who came and went in this hotel. They were all physically strong. He couldn’t help but frowned. He glanced at Charles and ordered him to call the short and fat boss over.

“Your hotel is newly opened? In such a small city, you open such a luxurious hotel, don’t you find it wasteful?”

Yuzan asked casually.

The humpty boss listened to Yuzan’s seemingly random words, but his heart was tight, so he nodded and explained:

“His Royal Highness, the land where this hotel is located was originally left by the villain’s ancestors, but the original hotel owner owed a large amount of rent and was unable to repay it, so he mortgaged the hotel to the villain. Although the business of the hotel is not very good , But because Calais is, at any rate, the only way to the imperial capital, the hotel can still receive big people like you to maintain…”

Yuzan glanced at him:

“Your accent doesn’t seem to be a local?”

The chunky boss smiled and replied:

“His Royal Highness, I am also from Calais. It’s just that I went to the north to do business and only came back a few months ago. Because I’m out all the year round, so…”

Yuzan nodded, then looked at the waiters and frowned slightly:

“Your hotel has raised so many subordinates, and these people are strong and steady. They all seem to be soldiers, right?”

The chunky boss nodded, with a hint of helplessness on his face:

“I used to be in the local garrison when I was in the north. It was just because the north was unstable a few years ago, and I was injured in an extermination bandit, so I retired and received the retired placement fee in the north. Started a business.

Almost all of my subordinates are friends in the original army, either because of special reasons, or because they were injured or physically disabled, they were discharged from the army, but although the resettlement fees are a lot, there is always a day to eat. In the past few years, I have been doing business well, so I have gathered so many veterans who have been retired to come back, so that everyone can have a bite to eat. ”

Yuzan laughed and nodded. As he watched the boss walk, he was a little lame, as if his legs were not working well.

And those waiters, although they are all strong and strong, but when you look carefully, some of them have the right hand but the thumb and index finger can no longer hold the sword, and some have a palm and the wrist is broken. Others have very long arms. I thought they were originally archers, but they lost an eye. They had no arms, but they were unable to see. This was the reason why they were removed from the army by the army.

Although there was still a trace of doubt in his mind, Yuzan did not express it after all. He sighed and asked Charles to reward him with more money, and then took Yuuki into the room to rest after a casual meal.
