325 Tough (Part 1)
After all, I have seen the blood and experienced the battle formation. The middle-aged man laughed twice and then threw one of the noodle bags on the other table. The gold coins collided with the table and produced a thud, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern. The negative eyes of moxibustion, greed, possession, etc. were all shown.
"Jie, everyone gets a gold coin, and the tavern owner can get one. Please help me collect the remaining gold coins, and I will take them tomorrow." The middle-aged man shouted at a bald strong man with a concave on his left cheek, then stood up and said to Chen Xiansong: "Master Aristocrat, please follow me. This is not a place to talk. In addition, there are some things that you must ask my brother."
Chen Xiansong stood up and followed the middle-aged man. This was near the equatorial line. The sun was extremely hot at noon, and unknown insects were chirping outside. The middle-aged man led the lead and walked into a small alley. There were strange trees on both sides that were not tall but had a large canopy. Walking below, it was extremely cool.
"Although I don't understand why you are looking for a lord, I have a piece of advice. I must mention it to the noble master." The middle-aged man threw a small bag containing gold coins with his right hand: "For the sake of the gold coins! Our city lord is very lustful. As the local master, he has the right to be in the hands of the first night, so..." He glanced at Bai Min, and naturally he could not understand what he meant.
Two little boys wearing coats walked past them. One of them touched Chen Xiansong's pocket silently. However, before he could reach Chen Xiansong's pounding, a small white ball of light hit his outstretched hand. After screaming in pain, the little boy turned around and ran away, and the other boy ran away.
Bai Min didn't chase him. Seeing this scene, the middle-aged man smiled and said, "Noble Master, don't blame them. Our city will fight the shit in the south every month. Sometimes there are two or three battles, and there are many people who die, no one wants to farm, and no businessmen come here. There are nothing here. It is not easy to be able to live until now. When I was a child, I also stole a lot of money from people and stole chickens from neighbors. Survival here is not easy. When I was a child, I was just a little hooligan."
This is a behavior that easily makes people feel good about it, called self-depreciation. It is often used by people in interpersonal communication.
Chen Xiansong smiled and expressed his acceptance of the other party's kindness. He said, "We have walked all the way, and I don't know your name yet."
"Ask a man." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "There are no fifty people in the city, and there are also thirty. There is no way. Ordinary people like us have no chance to read, and they cannot read, so they have no knowledge. They can only name their children. They can only call them to others, and they can listen to them."
"My name is Chen Xiansong, and I'm from Kate Kingdom."
"Isn't it the Zhendan Kingdom?" Ask Han turned around while walking, he was a little surprised: "Looking at your and your wife's hair, eyes, and skin, I always thought you were Zhendan."
"But we are from the Kingdom of Kate." Chen Xian smiled and said, "Well, people like us are indeed easily misunderstood."
Bai Min was also a little happy. She had always hated chimpanzees, but this chimpanzee was not too annoying because he said that he was Xiao Song's wife, which was very good and made her happy. Of course, she was still cold on the surface. Except for Chen Xiansong who could feel that she seemed to be happy, others didn't know how she was in any way.
The three were slowly walking in the winding alleys, chatting casually, and the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious. Yohan's home lived in a civilian area, and a row of low and low adobe brick houses were lined up, among which the door with red new paint was his home.
Compared with the surrounding earthen houses, Yohan's home is obviously much better because it uses stone bricks and has two floors.
After walking here, before entering the door, Chen Xiansong found that he was being watched. This is a matter of no choice. Onlooker is a characteristic rooted in human instinct. Onlooker is a way to obtain intelligence without enough information sources, illiteracy, and unable to read books and intelligence.
A large group of clothes were covered with patches, and barefoot adults and children followed Chen Xiansong and Bai Min. Their characteristics were obvious, that was, their hair was messy, their whole body was dirty, and there were not many people who were clean. If their eyes were sharper, they could see some blood-sucking bugs running around in their hair.
Although the people in Chen Xiansong's territory were not very rich, at least everyone was very energetic and clean. Generally speaking, the lords of the same personality would have the same state of leadership. Chen Xiansong was clean and did things cleanly. If the leaders followed suit, they would naturally be clean.
Surrounded by the strange smell, Chen Xiansong and Bai Min entered Yohan's house. A little boy rushed out when he heard the door opening. He was about to cheer his father when he saw Chen Xiansong and Bai Min. With a whoosh, he crawled behind Yohan, poked out a small head and looked at the two outsiders.
Yohan touched his head lovingly and said, "This little guy recognizes his life, and doesn't look like my kind at all."
Although he said this, he gently stroked the child's head. Not long after, a pretty young woman appeared behind her. She was much cleaner than other people outside. Although her clothes looked a little old, there was no patch on it and it was washed very clean.
"After coming, please go and prepare some fruit wine and delicious food." Yohan handed the small cloth bag to his wife: "Put it away. Let your son call your younger brother over, and then said there was a distinguished guest waiting for him here."
The child cheered and rushed out the door. When the young woman saw Chen Xiansong and Bai Min, she bowed a little restrainedly, and then immediately returned to the kitchen to prepare the meal for entertaining guests. She asked Han and Chen Xiansong to chat. After a while, the young woman started to bring some fruit wine and the dishes she had prepared in a hurry. Chen Xiansong looked at it and found that the dishes were clean and they had definitely washed them again.
It is rare for civilians to entertain nobles. In fact, Johann was also a little weak, afraid of losing his etiquette. Chen Xiansong picked up the fruit wine and drank it, then picked up the side dish, and then said, "Home-cooked dishes taste very warm."
Yohan then felt much more at ease. Not long after, the child brought a young man in from outside. He looked a little similar to Yohan. He had a small flat head, a set of soft leather armor, and a one-handed sword around his waist. He came in and saw Bai Min at a glance. After several seconds, he insisted on moving his gaze to Chen Xiansong, and finally looked at his brother and asked, "Brother, I'm here, don't you introduce me?"
Chen Xiansong remembers that Yohan said that his younger brother was a knight. This was a very strange class, between the common people and the nobles. They had some special small rights and were considered members of the nobles, but they had no titles or territory. They usually depend on the great nobles and did all kinds of things for them. Of course, the benefits were good.
Yohan introduced his younger brother's name, Jerry, also a popular name. He is one of the sixty knights of the city lord. He has participated in more than ten wars and commanded a 20-person military and infantry squad. From the perspective of civilians, he is considered a very promising person. There are many civilian girls in the city who like him, but he still has no intention of getting married.
Chen Xiansong also introduced himself. Of course, he didn't say anything about Cain's departure. Then, Chen Xiansong explained his purpose. When Jerry heard this, he immediately became alert. He looked at Chen Xiansong directly and said, "Your Excellency, you are from the Kingdom of Kate. Why do you ask me about the city lord's preferences and why?"
"If you want others, of course you have to know the other party's hobbies." Chen Xiansong said: "It would be great if you can introduce me to me."
Jerry was half-believing and half-doubted. Kate Kingdom is so far away, who can guarantee Chen Xiansong's true identity? Indeed, he seems to be a nobleman without a doubt, but what if he is a nobleman of the enemy country, what if he is an assassin? As the knight of the city lord, Jerry considered a lot of things based on his experience. Finally, he shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, I can't help with this matter. We cannot verify your identity, and we can't help you introduce the city lord."
"It really doesn't work?" Chen Xiansong asked.
Jerry continued to shake his head. Chen Xiansong didn't care. After chatting for a while, he stood up and said goodbye. Seeing Chen Xiansong and Bai Min disappearing deep in the alley, the two brothers returned to the room and asked Han to complain: "That's a big financial backer. As long as you reveal some news and say a few words to the city lord, you can get a lot of money. Why not do it?"
"Brother, this person is not simple, you should also see that woman is definitely a killing star. As a knight, I must not let the city lord face such danger."
When Han was silent, Jerry left his eldest brother's house, then went straight to the city lord's mansion and met his master.
The city lord's name is Lancelot. It is said that this is the ancient magic era. Someone who knows the details or deeds, the name of a hero. The city lord likes his name very much. He sat on a high red throne and listened to Jerry telling what happened just now. Halfway through, he raised his hand and interrupted his subordinates, asking, "You just said that the women around him are beautiful?"
Jerry sighed and nodded.
“How beautiful is it?”
"I can't describe it." Jerry said: "I almost couldn't move my eyes away when I saw her at first."
"That's a meeting." Lancelot's eyes shone brightly, and his handsome face was full of excited smiles.
"Master, I advise you not to do this." Jerry said: "That woman is very strong, her body is full of blood, and she definitely kills more people than the two of us combined. I think that there are not many people in this city who are her opponents. In addition, the true identity of Chen Xiansong is unknown. If you summon them, if they have evil intentions..."
"It's okay." Lancelot said: "I'm not a fool either. I will find ways to get what I can get. I will never touch things that I can't touch. There are too many dangerous people in this world, and I know this. Jerry, I plan to hold a small banquet tonight and invite the other three nobles' heads to come. You can also invite them."
