Quick Transmigration: Ten Thousand Worlds Charter Woman

Chapter 788 Request from Larel 18
When they approached Ferro City, they finally exchanged pocket watches for an old carriage on the outskirts of the city.

He Xiaoman took out his "only" eleven gold coins and exchanged them for an old horse.

The unicorn's legs were still slowly recovering, and the newly grown legs couldn't use much strength, so they could only walk with a limp, naturally unable to pull the injured housekeeper.

With the carriage and horses, the lady of the York family finally did not have to walk in disgrace, and rode in the carriage with the injured housekeeper. He Xiaoman acted as the coachman, and their traveling speed was greatly improved.

Before dark, I finally returned to Ferro City, where I had been away for several days.

It's just that walls and roadblocks were set up in the originally loose urban area, and a group of soldiers in blue jackets and red trousers uniforms stood ready.

He Xiaoman's heart skipped a beat.

Jerome couldn't influence the military, but the June Lotus Association could basically represent the military. Could this be a conspiracy against him?

A fugitive slave, a lame horse, how could he go to war like this?
Just looking at the housekeeper who was seriously injured and almost died, and the young lady who was so scared that she looked like a quail, if it was really a conspiracy against me, then the acting skills of these two are too good, right?
But they probably don't know that no matter how many of them there are, no matter how lame the unicorn is, no one can stop an invisible monster from absconding.

He Xiaoman calmly yelled at the old horse and slowly approached.

really.

Seeing He Xiaoman, the soldiers with live ammunition in the Hemu warehouse quickly grasped the weapon in their hands, looked at him with unfriendly eyes, and shouted loudly in the local language for him to show the certificate of freedom issued by the governor.

Most of these people held flintlocks in their hands, and there were also two new-style Dreiser rifles. In short, no matter what kind of weapons, the dark wooden barrels were aimed at He Xiaoman and the carriage behind him without exception.

The unicorn limped over with a long neigh that didn't match the majestic neigh, and its huge body blocked He Xiaoman's side facing the Mu Cangkou.

Its front hooves kept pawing on the ground, snorting one after another, urging He Xiaoman to get off the car and run quickly, don't worry about it.

The soldiers couldn't help being envious. This horse looked really handsome, and it was so humane and protective. It's a pity that one leg was lame. Otherwise, this horse should be the most dreamed partner of all Lancers, right?

Someone with sharp eyes looked at He Xiaoman and then at the unicorn, and suddenly asked, "Are you Larel? Is that horse a unicorn?"

Before He Xiaoman could answer, the dazed butler in the car seemed to understand the danger outside. He opened the car door and held up the seal with the rose family crest of the York family in his hand: "I am the butler of Lord Albert of the York family. Hurry up!" Let go."

Mu Cangkou was still aimed at He Xiaoman and the carriage, but the atmosphere was not as tense as before. Someone ordered He Xiaoman to hand over the seal.

He Xiaoman complied.

Soon, the carriage was released, and no one commented too much on the man and woman in the carriage, but the soldiers looked at He Xiaoman with burning eyes, as if an old bachelor who had been away for many days saw the flower girl.

If this person is really the wanted criminal Larel, it would be a pile of walking gold coins!
But they only dared to carve up He Xiaoman with their eyes, but no one objected to stop them from entering the city.

The strength of the York family in Ferro City can be seen.

After that, the group of three people and two horses arrived at the York family's mansion smoothly. It was a five-storey building covering a large area. He Xiaoman didn't see the noble Lord Albert himself at the very beginning.

It was another white guy, about more than 30 years old, about Larel's age.

As soon as this person came in, he showed his identity: "I am Jacob the housekeeper. Master Albert has precious time and cannot meet you in person, but you must have saved the young lady of the York family, so if you have any requirements, just say it, I personally I hope you have a little self-knowledge as a slave, and asking too much is only bad for your current status, Larel."

Ah.

Such a condescending face.

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you saved two lives, and only our noble York family will negotiate terms with people of your status. Anyone else will hand you over to Jerome directly. I think he will be very happy. Willingly thank Dade for paying us a hundred gold pieces."

"No, you won't." He Xiaoman said in a calm voice, "When we entered the city, the soldiers all saw the chief steward of your mansion with me."

Claude's embarrassed appearance was obviously rescued by Larel. If Larel was taken away by Jerome, the first thing people would think of was that the York family used this slave in exchange for a bounty.

Can the York family afford to lose this man?
Almost all the land around Ferro City was divided between the York family and the Fairlade family, and the Lear family also got two remote woodlands, where He Xiaoman and Claude met before.

There are also some small estate owners like Jerome who get some insignificant land.

That's why the soldiers guarding the city were so afraid of a mere butler of the York family.

However, in Ferro City, another family, Fairlad, is also an untouchable emperor, and the jockey Jerome attached to this family is like a retainer. Once Larel is really returned to Gero Hum, it's impossible for the Fairlad family not to know.

This is also the reason why He Xiaoman dared to follow Claude to the York family to receive the reward.

"Hehe." Jacob said with disdain on his face: "He will be gone soon. Don't try to use his identity to blackmail the York family. How can Master Albert be seen by a lowly slave like you?"

He Xiaoman has already seen the ten gold coins he took out.

She suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "No, I don't want gold coins. I must see Master Albert, if he doesn't want to be ridden on the head by the Fairlad family."

He Xiaoman and Jacob insisted on their opinions. Even though Jacob later took out all the thirty gold coins secretly hidden in his pocket, He Xiaoman still refused to let go, but the sarcasm on his face became more and more intense.

It seems that the York family rewarded her with forty gold coins, but this unscrupulous butler sent her away with only ten gold coins, and then swallowed the remaining thirty gold coins.

He Xiaoman sneered: "I guess you will secretly tell Jerome about me, even if you don't get any reward, at least let him kill me, so that you will be completely unproven about your embezzlement of my bounty."

"I don't know what nonsense you are talking about, you lowly slave, you are not allowed to slander me with lies!" Jacob scolded He Xiaoman, but his voice was kept very low, and his expression changed from being superior to being exposed panic.

"How could I slander you? My request is very simple. As long as I see Master Albert, not only will I not talk nonsense in front of him, but those gold coins are also yours."

Jacob wiped the cold sweat off his face: "Okay, I'll go and see for you, but whether Master Albert will see you or not depends on your luck."

"You will let me see Master Albert, because you are the housekeeper!"
