Chapter 223:Conspiracy

The towering inner walls divided the king into two different worlds, and strict regulations were imposed on access, whether noble or rich, needed to be fully examined in the small room at the entrance, and once there were signs of illness, such as hot red and dark spots, they would not be allowed to enter.After leaving from the inner city, you must return in the evening of the same day, otherwise the sun will set, and after the city door is locked, you can only stay out for the night.

But this still can not stop the spread of the evil epidemic, yesterday he has heard the inner city of the nobles infected rumors, if not the church finally released the first batch of holy medicine, I am afraid the nobles will be the collective evacuation of the royal capital.

Just six days after the letter was sent out, the Marguerite Chamber of Commerce finally came to the news.He hurried to the agreed-made place, a tailor's shop, and was led into the basement by the clerk, where the master had been waiting for a long time.

I saw Margarice sitting at a low table, and there was a pot of ice water on the table, which was constantly emitting a cold.Tazar, full of sweat, went to sit cross-legged across her side and sat down, and suddenly felt a cool breeze rushing in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a spirit.

"Your Highness entrusts me to you," she handed over a stack of sheepskin envelopes, and the fire paint at the seal looked complete.

Tsusa couldn’t wait to open it and take out the paper—a brief account of the action plan of the departure of the First Army, and the tasks he needed to accomplish.After reading it carefully, he did not whisper the paper in his arms and looked at Marguerite, “Does your Highness ask you anything?”

“No, he just sent the letter to the messenger – of course, the delivery of the express message is a charge, and I have already recorded it.”

“Cough, that is,” Taza cleared his throat, “Your Highness needs to bring all the fugitives back to the West in a very short period of time, so he hopes that you will provide a large number of ships for uninterrupted transport, rather than a fleet or two.”

“Even if they’re infected?”Marguerite speculated with interest, "I think he certainly does not want to turn the whole of the West into a dead end, so... His Highness found a cure for the evil epidemic?"

"Indeed," he nodded, "there were in fact patients in the first fleet, and only when they did not break out at that time, and they were not found until they reached the town.Now they are on their way back to the royal capital, and all the crew are safe.”

“His Royal Highness Roland is an incredible person, and even the church is not so quick to come up with an antidote,” Marguerite said, “how many days does he plan to transport the refugees?”“One week?”

Tsace held out three fingers.

“This...impossible!”The businesswoman paused for a moment and quickly shook her head, "Even if these people die half, there are still more than five thousand people, and after three days, I need to prepare nearly a hundred sailing ships, even if the other shipping of the Chamber of Commerce stops for transportation, it is only enough to meet this number - but in this way, I may suffer losses above thousands of golden dragons, so the lost customers can not be counted, even if the steam engine can not offset this amount for free."So... please forgive me for refusing.”

"If everyone sits on the deck, instead of lying in the cabin with a bedboard, the number of people a ship can carry can be doubled," Tsas insisted, "if it is not comfortable, the two-masted sailboat carrying ore can also be used to transport people, as long as the lid is opened, it can load about two hundred people at a time."There should be a lot of such ships, your old friend Hogg, right?”

“In Yinguang City, he does have several such big ships...” Marguerite looked hesitant, “and, according to your algorithm, he could probably reduce the number of ships to about fifty.”But... it's not a good deal."

Taza also believes that in order to let dozens of ships converge on the canal, it takes a lot of effort to dispatch and coordinate, and the cost of chartering is not all in their own pockets, and it is difficult and laborious, and the harvest is not much work, so it can not be counted as a good deal.Then he can only do the last thing.

At the end of the letter, Her Highness wrote a small letter: If Marguerite is not willing to help, tell her that the lightning is coming.

This sentence makes people a little confused, does the businesswoman have any special relationship with that lively and lovely blond girl?It doesn’t look like it at all in appearance... but your Highness must have had his own reasons for saying that.At this thought, Thasa slowly began, "It is also a last resort to be transported in three days, and what His Highness has done is equivalent to eating, and if it is delayed too long, the church is likely to come to the door - and the lightning is also in danger of finding a witch in this process."

“What do you say?”Her voice was suddenly high, “The lightning is coming too?”

"In your Highness's letter, it is true," Tsada said, pretending to be an honest man, "preferably to guide the team and provide early warning."After all, this is the place of the new king Tiffico."

"I know," said Marguerite, rising, "when do you need a ship?"

“It should be four days later, if they don’t delay on the road.”

“I will try to arrange it,” she said, walking to her desk and beginning to write a book of ills, “but I have a condition, you must tell my Highness where my troops are stationed, and if they want to enter the city, I can also arrange enough rooms.”

Well, it seems that the trick does work, "I think it's okay," Tsah said, "and I have something else to help you."

“Say it,” Marguerite sighed.

“I need a convoy of tugging barrels, the better the number of barrels, but not rinse of wheat or wine, but fill the river or well.”According to Her Royal Highness's letter, the key figure in solving the evil epidemic is the witch Lily, who can turn ordinary water into a cure for the disease.But there’s a serious flaw in the plan, which is that the rats must not be brought to the first barracks—if they knew that there was a steady stream of energy in the camp to make “holy medicine,” Tazar would have bet that the next day the news would be known to the city.

“River and well water?”She raised her eyebrows, “Are you sure?”

"Rest assured, Your Highness will pay for it."Tsosa laughed.

For the sake of confidentiality and security, the journey from the team to the king's capital can only be transported by him.If you carry a water bag to eliminate the evil epidemic, like the treatment of the fugitives in the east, the efficiency is very low.He had to find a way to bring in as much purified water as possible at once.

The large barrel mounted on the four-wheeled carriage is obviously a good choice.(Not completed.)>
