Chapter 135: Negotiation

Taking advantage of the thick night, Keno, who had just finished dinner, sneaked along the winding mountain path to the homeless camp in the mountains.

I don't know if it's because he wants to concentrate on his work as an envoy, but he actually ate well-cooked fat meat for dinner tonight, and the portion was so large that he almost couldn't eat it.

Since the beginning of autumn, especially as the weather gets colder and colder, in order to bring the necessities of life to their family, the family has not known what the taste of meat is for a long time.

Thinking of this, he touched the papers and letters that he had hidden in the pocket of his left chest and chest, and couldn't help but take a gentle breath, and speed up his progress with the hope of the displaced people in the mountains.

This mountain trail was discovered by chance when he was hunting, and he knew that there were only two people here, he and his son-in-law, this time, because he was afraid of being hunted by the hunting team of the noble lord under the mountain, he took his family down this path in advance to join another noble lord.

Now that he thinks about it, he still feels a little guilty because he didn't inform his son-in-law of his movements in advance, and it is estimated that everyone in the camp now thinks that he has suffered a misfortune.

The trail was secluded, but it wasn't very long, and in about an hour Keno saw the camp with faint lights shining in the darkness.

Now, in order to prevent it from being found by the noble eagle dogs who are looking around for the specific location of the camp, and to save some fuel when winter is approaching, the faint light of the camp is not obvious in the deep mountains.

"Who?"

A low question suddenly erupted from the grass next to him, which didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary, and just as the words fell, a cold blade was already lightly resting on Keno's neck.

"It's me, Keno. ”

"Ah, it's Keno's father, everyone still thinks you're ......"

When the young man in charge of the guard heard that the person in front of him was the famous Daddy Keno in the camp, he hurriedly got out of the bushes where he was hiding, and looked at him in disbelief.

"I'm fine. Keno waved his hand to show that there was nothing wrong with him, "Where's Randy?

Randy is the name of his son-in-law, by far the most reliable leader the camp has ever seen.

"The leader has just finished his deliberations with the chiefs, so you can go straight to his room and find him. ”

"Counsel?"

"Yes, yesterday a brother was accidentally chased by those dogs, and tomorrow someone will come to confirm the situation. The young man and Kino, who had been missing for a few days, explained what had happened in the past few days, and according to his meaning, he estimated that clashes could break out between the two sides tomorrow.

However, he is very optimistic, because most of the outcasts don't train their armed forces much, unlike Randy, who actually mobilizes all the young men to participate in the training, and his own organizational skills are very impressive.

If the hunting team of these noble lords still treats them as ordinary outcasts, the side that suffers at that time will definitely not be the side of the homeless, and they can even take advantage of the carelessness of the noble lords to bite off a piece of meat.

"Tomorrow is going to be a fight?" Keno was a little surprised, originally he thought that he would have to wait a few days at the earliest, so that the transfer time was relatively sufficient, but he didn't expect to run into the other party so soon, "I have to talk to Randy quickly." ”

"Daddy, you're light, I'll continue to keep watch. ”

With a few soft rustling sounds, the silence returned to the area, but Keno knew that there were at least two other sentry watching over him.

Touching the paperwork hidden by himself on his chest again, Kino felt that he could not tolerate the slightest hesitation, and after taking a deep breath, he walked towards Randy's residence.

Randy's residence is located in the northeast corner of the camp, and like the dwellings of all homeless people, there is nothing special in the house, and he usually relies on his own hunting and small items made by his wife and daughter.

This is also what Keno admires about his son-in-law, removing his son-in-law's identity, such a leader is indeed worthy of everyone's trust and follow, so Keno has some confidence in persuading him to agree to Duke Duke's proposal for the sake of everyone's future, and the conditions proposed by the duke are not strict, and even excellent.

With this in mind, he gently knocked on the door of his son-in-law's house.

"Please come in, the door is unlocked. ”

Soon, Randy's familiar voice came from behind the door, and Keno regained his composure and gently pushed the wooden door open.

"Oh, you're back!"

In the room, Randy was removing his drape from his body, as he put on all his belongings for the pre-war meeting, and Keno was about to pull his sword from his waist as he pushed the door in.

Seeing that it was his father-in-law who had returned safely after being missing for a few days, he stopped his sword movement and smiled and came over to give Kino a big hug.

"Aisha and the children are asleep, let's tell them the news tomorrow, they miss you too. ”

Speaking of his eldest daughter and granddaughter, Kino suddenly felt guilty for running away with the others earlier.

Just thinking of the harvest of this adventure and the weight of the paperwork he brought, these thoughts in his heart were quickly dispelled by him.

"It's okay, I'm here mainly for you this time, and there will always be a time to meet them in the future. ”

"Oh, you're coming for me?"

Randy grabbed Keno by the shoulders and sat him down in a chair, asking in a flat tone, his voice devoid of his previous enthusiasm and the use of honorifics.

Sensing the change in Randy's tone, Kino probably knew why his son-in-law was so salty, so he preemptively spoke: "I went down the mountain this time and met a noble person......

"A noble lord?"

"Uh...... Speaking of which, it can be regarded as a noble lord. Kino couldn't deny this, "But Duke Duke, unlike other nobles, really wanted to do something for the outcasts. ”

Randy was silent, just drinking from the wooden cup, ignoring what Keno was saying.

"Randy, I left the rest of my family in the Northland, and they're doing well now, so I'm volunteering to come back to make sure that more of my siblings can enjoy it. ”

"Did you do it voluntarily, or did they threaten your family's lives?"

"Of course I did it voluntarily!"

"There's nothing more to say. ”

With a thud, Randy drew his saber, and Keno once again experienced the feeling of being held to his neck by a cold sword.
