European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 5
Li Peijun couldn't stand going to bed without taking a shower, thinking that it would be great to find a place with water and get some water to wipe his body.

In the castle at night, in addition to the sentinels who had been on guard in the walls and towers, there were still sporadic patrols walking around the streets. Li Peijun planned to sneak out in order not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Li Peijun used his fingers to open a gap in the door. First, he observed the paths of the patrolling personnel for a long time, and then took advantage of the gap between shifts to go out in the dark. Only a few public places on the street were still lit with turpentine oil lamps. Residential areas It's already pitch black here.Under the guidance of the moonlight, Li Peijun searched all the streets in the city, but he still didn't find anything like a well.

"Could it be that the guys here use wine instead of water? Water should always be used for washing clothes, and it must be in an inconspicuous corner."

Li Peijun turned his attention to an inconspicuous place in the corner of the city, and found a well under the city wall near the mountain.Li Peijun took a bucket of water and stumbled back. I don’t know if there was too much water in the bucket or Li Peijun was too weak. After a few steps, a lot of water was sprinkled, and there was a lot of movement. Li Peijun saw several places in the distance. The light source is coming towards me.

"Not good, they noticed this." Li Peijun thought silently, and in a hurry, he directly lifted the bucket high and bathed from top to bottom without too much wiping or unnecessary movements. It should be the simplest bath that Li Peijun has ever taken.After finishing the work, Li Peijun quickly dropped the bucket and ran back to Bernard's residence.

Even if Bernard is a knight in the inner palace, his life is quite poor. The house is also made of wood like ordinary residents, but it looks stronger. The furnishings inside are extremely simple, with a few tables and chairs, a wooden cabinet, A couch and a simple fireplace should be built with dodge.

Li Peijun moved lightly for fear of disturbing Mr. Bernard. He finally sat down on the chair and put his hands on the table to support his head that was beginning to swell. Li Peijun rubbed his sleepy eyes and held on. After concentrating on wringing out the water on his body, he fell asleep.

It's late at night, and Li Peijun still has too much bitterness to pour out. Everything in the Middle Ages seems incompatible with him from the modern society. There are too many places that don't suit him. He can only hope for a chance to turn around soon. , although it can't change the general environment, but at least it can make yourself live a decent life.

"Bruno, wake up, get ready to work."

Startled by the sound, Li Peijun rolled off the bed and fell heavily on the ground.

"Stop dawdling, and quickly change into this dress."

Bernard threw a set of spare parts to Li Peijun, and Li Peijun weighed it in his hands. It was much lighter than the set last night. It should not have much protection, but it is still better than the crappy robe. few.Li Peijun put on loose pieces, and it is true that there are only two thin armors on the chest, and the rest are made of cloth and leather.

The good news is that Li Peijun can finally wear shoes, so he doesn't need to feel the nature with bare feet like before. Although they are just simple leather straw sandals, Li Peijun, who was born as a commoner, is already very satisfied.

"Son, you need to eat something before you do big things, so you can have strength." Bernard handed Li Peijun a piece of bread, which looked black and moldy, and it felt like chewing plastic. Hard to swallow and tasteless.Li Peijun swallowed it with restraint, but couldn't help but spit it out later.

"Damn couscous bread, I'd rather eat ten hamburgers than eat these anymore." Li Peijun suddenly missed the goodness of hamburgers. Compared with these couscous breads for hunger, the meat and vegetable burgers are like delicacies from mountains and seas .

Bernard handed Li Peijun a short sword, and then led Li Peijun to the gate to be inspected by Baron Mona. There were not as many knights gathered at the city gate as imagined. Except for those who stayed behind, they participated in the robbery. There were about 80 to [-] people who were plundered, and only a dozen of them had horses. The other knights were just like Bernard, essentially infantry.

Some knights are also accompanied by retinues. It feels like Li Peijun was recruited and trained by Baron Mona. Li Peijun feels that this person's mind is not simple, and he doesn't seem to be a master who eats and waits to die.

Baron Mona came out of the inner city with a few personal guards. Although it was still in pieces, the obvious piece of armor was denser. The same was true for the horse he was riding. , which is the top-level configuration here.Baron Mona was also the only cavalryman in the entire army who wore a helmet. Although it was an ugly conical iron helmet, there was an iron piece hanging from the front brim to protect the bridge of the nose.

"My knights, today is the day when we fight bloody battles. If we win this battle, we will have good wine and good days in the future. I hope you can cheer up and win this victory." Baron Mona said impassionedly. After delivering an important speech, he finally drew his sword out of its sheath and kept waving it non-stop. Others saw it and followed suit, and Li Peijun also pulled out his dagger and waved it stupidly.

"Let me go, this sword is so short, it is used for peeling apples." Li Peijun saw in the light of the sword that he was waving that his dagger was only half the length of other swords, and he began to worry about his personal safety.

The suspension bridge was slowly lowered, and Baron Mona led his knights out of the city to prepare for today's looting operation.

In the middle ages of the 10th century, there was no unified regime. In many cases, the big princes could only manage their own fiefdoms, and the lords under them only supervised them to pay taxes and fulfill their obligations on time. The small princes had a lot of freedom, so internal fighting Very serious.

The property that Baron Mona is going to loot on this trip belongs to a certain lord on the Ile-de-France. I heard that the situation in Frank is a little turbulent recently. The knight is responsible for protection, after all, in this dark age, everywhere except his own castle is in danger.

Baron Mona and his knights passed a piece of farmland. This piece of farmland is on the back of the mountain. The place is not big but the soil is very fertile.The baron and his tenant farmers greeted warmly. It is the time for planting in early spring, and the knights carefully walked through the muddy path in the field, trying to avoid stepping on the crops in the field.

Passing through the farmland, facing the sparse forest and bushes, Baron Mona and the others found a good hiding place according to the plan they had made in advance, and prepared to wait for work. Li Peijun was both happy and scared hide inside.

"I'm so excited. God, please let me turn over quickly." Li Peijun kept panting, his hand firmly pressed on the scabbard on his waist.
