Chapter 515, Chapter 516(1/2)

When Xie Feng said the words "letter from home," the guard guarding the door looked obviously startled, and then his face suddenly looked much better, and he said to Xie Feng: "Come here first."

The rules of the Royal Cavalry are second only to the Guards in Virginia. Each Royal Cavalry can only take half a month off every year. In other words, each Royal Cavalry can only take half a month at most every year.

Reunion with family members does not include the time spent traveling back and forth, as well as the time spent taking time off for other matters. In the Middle Ages, when communications were underdeveloped, the only way the Royal Cavalry could communicate with their families was through a letter from their hometown.

A letter from the family sent by the trustee. What happened at home recently? Which villager recently got married, which old man unfortunately passed away, the farmer has matured again, the children have grown up and can help with the work... Each of these things is not usually the case.

The small news and details that I was so moved by but now pay extra attention to, can only be conveyed through letters from home.

Most people in this era were not literate, and sometimes it was not possible to find a literate person in the entire village. Therefore, if their family wanted to write a letter home, they had to go to the town and find a local priest or teacher with a relatively high level of education.

Sometimes they even go to great lengths to ask nobles to help write family letters through connections. As a result, every family letter is particularly precious. Many members of the Royal Cavalry even write family letters when they receive them.

There will be excitement and tears of joy.

Therefore, when Xie Feng said that he was here to deliver a letter home, the guard guarding the door couldn't help but feel warm and his attitude became much better.

Xie Feng approached the guard and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm here to deliver a letter home."

The guard asked: "Whose letter is it for?" At the same time, there was a little hope in his heart: Could it be for me?

Xie Feng took out the yellowed and wrinkled letter and asked, "Is Vice Captain Arlia here?"

The guard took the letter and said, "Is it the vice-captain's letter home? Okay, I will send it to you."

Seeing that Xie Feng was stunned on the spot and had no intention of leaving, the guard suddenly realized: "Oh, I will send it to you now." With that said, the guard walked towards the depths of the military camp with the letter in his arms.

About ten minutes later, the guard came back, holding five silver coins in his hand. He handed it to Xie Feng and said, "The letter has been sent. This is the money the deputy captain gave you for your hard work."

The preciousness of letters from home is one thing, but the transportation of letters from home is another. Letters from home are generally not sent by one's own family, because after all, the journey is long, and farmers have few free days throughout the year, so they will look for them.

The traveling caravans passing by can help carry them if they are on the way, or if there are fellow villagers who want to go nearby, they can also help carry them. At the same time, there is also a profession on the mainland that specializes in helping people deliver letters home - errand runners. Errand runners

Similar to a postman, he buys a horse at his own expense, then runs to each village to collect letters home from local villagers who want to be sent, and then delivers the letters. Because he is worried that someone will pretend to be an errand boy to defraud money, the cost of delivering letters home is usually in goods.

Payment upon arrival is made by the soldier who receives the letter from home. If the price has been negotiated in advance, the family member will specifically indicate how much to pay in the letter from home. Of course, if they are familiar with each other, they will not negotiate the price, and the soldier who receives the letter from home will pay as he pleases.

Just send it off. When the guard saw that Xie Feng did not leave immediately after delivering the letter, he immediately realized that Xie Feng was running errands, so he immediately delivered the letter and gave it to Xie Feng in exchange for hard work money. Ordinary royal cavalry usually give

One or two silver coins would settle the matter, and if you were more generous, you might give three silver coins. Alya's hand was 50 dinars, which immediately made her look noble.

Xie Feng held the five silver coins in his hand. After being stunned for a moment, he realized what was going on and asked, "Didn't your deputy captain... open the letter and read it?" According to Xie Feng's words

I thought, if Alya found out that this letter was written by her childhood sweetheart, and the content was so ambiguous and disgusting, she would probably come out to meet the person who sent the letter - maybe it was the person who sent the letter.

The guard shook his head and said: "Vice Captain, she is quite busy now, but she has already received the letter. When it gets dark and the rest time comes, she will naturally open it and read it."

Xie Feng suddenly felt embarrassed. He couldn't wait here until dark.

Seeing that Xie Feng still had no intention of leaving, the guard asked: "What? Do you think you have too little money?"

Xie Feng immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, no...I just want...can you send a message to your vice-captain that we want to see her? You can just tell your vice-captain that you have an old friend to meet...or tell you

Captain Randy can just say something."

The guard immediately lowered his expression and said: "Let's go! There are rules in the military camp. This is not a place for old friends to reminisce. If you are really an old friend and want to see them, leave a note and make an appointment at a time and place."

Xie Feng was even more embarrassed. He was considering whether to announce that he was Xie Feng on the spot. After thinking about it, he gave up. Maybe people would immediately blast him out as a lunatic after saying this. Wait a minute... Rather than being blasted by others, I would still

Why don't I blast others?

Thinking of this, Xie Feng immediately punched the guard in the face.

The guard was caught off guard and was punched in the face by Xie Feng, causing stars to appear on his head.

After reacting, the guard immediately pulled out his weapon and shouted: "What are you doing?"

The nearby soldiers heard such a shout and immediately gathered around. Seeing the guard drawing his weapon and pointing it at a stranger, they all put their hands on their weapons and were wary of Xie Feng.

Jamala, who was playing with the snowman on the ground, also saw the scene of Xie Feng beating the guard. She was so surprised that her hands shook and pushed the snowman down. She stood up and shouted: "Feng Xie, are you crazy?"

Xie Feng saw that the nearby soldiers immediately surrounded him, so he raised his hands and said unhurriedly: "I...surrender...surrender..."

The guard immediately shouted to the nearby soldiers: "He attacked me! Tie them all up quickly! Wait for the captain to be punished!"

There is a small and crude prison in the barracks of the Royal Cavalry.

This prison is usually used to temporarily hold prisoners when soldiers go out to clean up nearby criminals.

Although the prison is simple, there is a tall sentry tower next to it. The sentry tower will be guarded by five soldiers with extraordinary archery skills for four hours. If someone escapes from the prison, no matter how fast he runs, he will be killed within ten steps.

It was shot into a large hedgehog nailed on the snow. Even if someone escaped the arrow, as long as the soldiers on the sentry tower sounded the gong on the sentry tower, within a few seconds, the entire military camp would be destroyed by soldiers.

They surrounded them tightly, so that the escaped slaves would have nowhere to hide. At that time, the escaped slaves who were the initiators of such a big fight would not be punished as simply as death.

However, in such a terrifying prison, there was a cheerful voice.

"Three pieces."

"Five barrels."

"Sixty thousand."

"Bang... Hachijou."

"East wind."

"Four barrels...hongzhong."

Jamala drew a card, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she shouted excitedly: "Take it yourself! That's right! Give me money!" As he said that, he spread all the cards in his hand on the ground.

Xie Feng, Daniel, and Sherlock, who were playing cards with him, all looked worried. They threw all the cards in their hands to the ground unluckily, and then each reached for his own money bag.

Jamala made a lot of dinars all of a sudden, and she was so happy that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear, and then shouted: "Hey, Karian, why don't you play together."

Kalian, who was silent on the side, said: "I...I won't..."

"It doesn't matter." Jamara said: "I will teach you... Come, take my place, and I will guide you to play."

Daniel shuffled the cards and said, "It's already afternoon now, right? Why haven't we been given lunch yet? We're all starving."

Sherlock said: "Look at you, you don't look like you are in jail? You are playing cards here, and you are waiting for someone to bring you food over there."

Daniel shrugged and said: "It doesn't look like a prison here, okay? Outside the four walls, there's not even a prison guard or anything...Deputy Commander, I know you have a lot of things hidden on you, do you have anything to eat?"

?”

Hearing this, Xie Feng put his hand into his sleeve and pulled out a large bunch of sausages.

Looking at the string of sausages, Daniel drooled all over the floor and said: "Honestly, deputy commander, how did you hide these things? You can't tell at all from the outside..."

Jia Mala said: "Actually, I want to know why Feng Xie hid a bunch of sausages on his body for no reason?"

Xie Feng said impatiently: "Don't eat it if you keep chirping!" As he said this, he pretended to take the sausage back.

Soon, everyone was chewing sausages and playing cards.

Kalian said: "Hu."



Kalian said: "Hu."



Kalian said: "Hu."



Kalian said: "Hu."



Kalian said: "Hu."

"Holy shit! I'm not going to play anymore!" Xie Feng waved his cards and said, "I've lost all the hard-earned money I just got!" Then he angrily paused and drew circles.

Jamala was dumbfounded and said: "Kallian... is this really your first time playing?"

Kalian was stunned for a moment and nodded: "It is indeed the first time...it doesn't feel difficult at all."

Suddenly, there was a chaotic sound of voices outside the door, accompanied by the sound of a key being inserted into the keyhole.

Upon hearing the sound, Xie Feng immediately jumped into the middle of the crowd and swept all the cards into the inventory with a sweep of his hand. The others immediately swallowed all the sausages in their hands and mouths.

"Squeak..." When the door was pushed open, Xie Feng and others immediately pretended to be captured and decadent, except that there were still scraps of sausage meat left in the corner of someone's mouth.

A soldier walked into the door first and said as he walked: "Captain, it's them. They attacked the guards guarding the entrance of the barracks at noon today."

"Hmm." A magnetic male voice sounded, and then a man wearing plate armor walked into the prison.

Xie Feng looked up and saw that it was Randy.

Randy, Yamalandi, was a cavalry captain in Xie Feng's team. After Prince Wilson successfully returned to the country, he became the captain in charge of the Royal Cavalry.

After Randy walked into the prison, he said to Xie Feng and others: "Who are you? Why did you attack our soldiers?"

At the same time, the soldier next to him shouted: "This is the captain of our Royal Cavalry, Mr. Randy. You must be respectful!"

Xie Feng immediately stepped forward, extended his hand to Randy, and said, "Lord Randy, I have admired you for a long time."

Randy was stunned when he saw this, thought for a while, and finally stretched out his hand and shook it with Xie Feng.

Xie Feng smiled and said: "Lord Randy, look, it's starting to get dark now, and my companions and I haven't had lunch yet... Do you think it's convenient for you to provide us with food and drinks?"
