Chapter 559

In the hustle and bustle of cars and horses, Wu Ming came to the only cattle line in the town.

"Isn't this our dear little William?"

An old man in a shirt and straw hat was holding an iron fork to collect hay. He immediately put down his work and said with a smile, "what? William, do you want to buy animals? My old Kerry's cattle are the best. One head can support three people! And he's very docile, very... "

"Indeed

Wu Ming looked at the fences on both sides. The peculiar smell of fresh animals came, but for William, he was used to it.

"Ha ha... Since I heard the lark in the morning, I know there must be something good today!"

"I'll pick one for you. I'm sure it's the best in the town," he said with a smile

At ordinary times, he only had business of farming cattle and renting cars and horses. When he heard that Wu Ming wanted to buy big animals, his eyes lit up immediately.

Even though the real owner of this business is Baron house, if it is completed well, he also has a certain bonus.

"No! It's not... "

Wu Ming shook his head: "old Kerry, I think you've made a mistake. I'm not here to buy cattle..."

"Don't buy cattle?"

Kerry blinked. "Do you want a mule?"

"No! It's not a mule. I need a horse, a real horse

Wu Mingjing frowned in front of the only horses in the corral.

These horses tend to be small and thin, which doesn't meet his needs, but they have soft hair, and they eat grass slowly while snorting. It seems that they are well cared for.

"Ploughing with horses? That's not a good idea... "

Kerry endlessly recommends a farm cow to Wu Ming and promises to give him the best price.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, but in fact, I only need horses. It's better to carry knights and not panic when I see blood and guns!"

Wu Ming took out the proof of the free people and shook it: "I'm a free people already. I'm ready to go out and wander once!"

"Since... Free people?"

Old Kerry opened his mouth and bowed a little unconsciously.

For him, who has been the leader of the Baron all his life, to become a free citizen means that he can't be in debt, make outstanding contributions to the territory, and get the Baron's affirmation... This is almost impossible!

In his mind, he naturally took a look at Wu Minggao. Although he was not the "masters", he was also much higher than ordinary tenants.

"Free people... From then on, there will be no need for tax officials to strip them. Besides, there will be no military service or labor service."

In fact, there is a mistake in old Kerry's understanding. Being a free citizen represents more choices. He doesn't have to care about the exorbitant taxes and levies set by the tax official himself. He can't leave immediately, but the taxes set by the Lord should be paid.

This layer of identity, in Wu Ming understanding, some similar to Zhou scholar, has a certain status, and dignity!

When something happens, you can poke it to the Baron and ask him to rule.

Have the right to choose, have the right to reach! You can get rid of the exploitation of tax officials like Feder.

"What? Don't you have any horses here? "

Wu Ming looked at the horses in the barn and was not very satisfied.

"Of course... A real war horse must first be a good breed with a tall skeleton. It's better to be a pure blooded horse from the grassland, and to train their courage so that they won't be timid when they see the battle."

Kerry shook his head: "each finished horse can be sold at a high price of more than ten jindelong, and even if it has, it has long been accepted by the Baron..."

Obviously, he let Wu Ming put out his mind as soon as possible.

"War horses are not good, but ordinary horses are used for carrying goods and riding, right?"

Wu Ming's eyes swept, in the short tall one, selected a group of black horses out: "it's it!"

"You choose big Andy? He's the best guy I have here... "

Kerry's face showed a trace of reluctance: "but following you, a guy with a bright future, may be its best destination... A kingderon, you can take it away. God, don't let me see this scene..."

He turned around and wiped the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand. It seemed that there was still a little glittering.

"Come on!"

Wu Ming rolled his eyes: "how can I remember the last time uncle Tali came to buy farm cattle, you said the same thing? A golden dragon is not worth it unless you put on a saddle

"No way!"

Kerry shook his head: "don't you know old Kerry is still the best Tanner in town? If you want a saddle, you need at least five silver talers! "

"The price is too high..."

Wu Ming frowned.

Although he doesn't really care about the money, he has to be careful.

Omissions in any small place may lead to disastrous consequences in the end. Now he will not make this mistake.

At this time, he has really regarded himself as a little free citizen, integrated into it, and detached.

Old Kerry looked at William, who accurately picked out the problems of the horses. He had a headache and knew that he had met the smartest kind of customers.

Half an hour later, Wu Ming walked out of the cattle line with a smile on his face. He was holding big Andy's rein in his hand. He was armed with a full set of good harness made of ripe cow leather and iron.

The price he paid for this was a golden dragon and a silver taler.

"Thank you, uncle Kerry!"

Wu Ming got on the black horse and laughed.

"Treat it well! And... Be safe! "

Maybe it's a rare revelation of father Kerry's true feelings when he knows that William's intention has been decided.

Step on!

Wu Ming rode slowly through the streets of the town on a black horse.

"Look, it's William!"

"It's said that he has been promoted to be a freeman by Baron and a knight of takur. He's really developed!"

"Good horse, I will become a knight in the future!"

……

In all kinds of eyes and discussions, Wu Ming came to aunt Roya's hotel and handed her the tax payment certificate.

"Oh! William... "

Aunt Roya's lips moved and she couldn't speak for a long time: "I really don't know how to thank you!"

"That's what William should do!"

Wu Mingyi pointed to a smile, feeling that the deepest part of the body like obsession is also dissipated, can not help but physical and mental ease: "also, I come this time, is the way to say goodbye!"

"Goodbye!"

"Yes, I'm going to leave nya and go further! Please take care and say hello to Sophia for me

He bowed and turned away.

"Alas..."

Aunt Roya sighed, as if she was worried about putting away the certificate. When she came to the back kitchen, she immediately saw Sophia hiding behind the door, with a gentle look on her face: "don't you say goodbye to William?"

"I... I..."

Sophia was stunned and suddenly burst into tears.

"Silly boy!"

Aunt Roya held Sophia in her arms: "my poor daughter... You know, if William was still that silly young man before, his mother would not object to you. But now, he is praised by the Lord. I heard that he is very good at martial arts, and he has got the identity of a free citizen. He is a person of two levels with you..."

"I don't believe it!"

Sophia suddenly looked up and said, "will he forget me when he leaves town?"

"The outside world is big..."

Aunt Roya sighed.

She knew that the outside world was much more wonderful than the small town. There were many kinds of women and warblers. Compared with them, Sophia was really just an ordinary peasant woman in the town.

It is unrealistic for William to make any promises.

She was speechless and knew that the girl in this situation was the most difficult to persuade. Instead of directly scolding or saying anything, she held Sophia closer

……

"Wei... Mr. William!"

Wu Ming came to his hut and saw a little boy waiting at the door. His eyes were uneasy.

"AVA..."

Looking at this young face, Wu Ming thought of the unfortunate guy Joey.

Although actively close to themselves, but in the siege of Ogres or too greedy, resulting in the death of the ogre siege.

After all, there are only a few team members who can survive. Wu Ming has seen many heartbroken wives and parents, perhaps children and younger brothers, who heard that their husbands or sons were killed in battle.

"What's the matter?"

He sighed in his heart, and some guessed what AVA had come for.

"Are you going to leave?"

Looking at Wu Ming's horse and sword at his waist, awa summoned up his courage and said in a low voice, "I... I want to follow you and become your retinue!"

"Ha ha!"

Wu Ming said with a smile, "I'm not a knight. I can't accept servants unless you want to be my servant or slave!"

He turned his eyes on AVA: "I heard that in Wuthering castle, teenagers like you can sell at a high price in the slave market!"

It can also be said that the squire and the knight have mutual obligations and responsibilities. But servants and slaves are the private property of their masters.

If he agrees, Wu Ming can really sell Ava.

So the little boy was scared and stepped back a few steps.

"Ha ha..."

Seeing the boy's appearance, Wu Ming laughed happily.

"Well... You want to be a knight's squire, why?"

After he finished laughing, he calmed down and looked at the silent Ava.

"I want... Power!"

AVA clenched his fist: "I want to avenge the ogre..."

"To fight for hatred?"

Wu Ming said: "in this way, you may stay in pain forever for the rest of your life..."

Looking at Ava's more and more desperate face, he suddenly changed: "of course... What does this have to do with me?"

Whew!

The long sword on his waist suddenly came out of its sheath and fell straight into the ground in front of AVA, leaving a hilt and half of the sword body: "pull it up, and I'll consider teaching you something!"
