Qiantang Village, main road.

"I heard that you haven't been in Qiantang Village for a long time!" Sen Xiao was quite enthusiastic, trying to make Eddie relax;

If it weren't for the two soldiers waiting behind him, Add would have felt more at ease.

"That's right, I'm here to hone myself. ”

You can't just deal with it that way.

"Today's knight is warmly invited, there must be something important to talk about?"

Take the initiative, speed up the pace and disrupt the opponent's pace, and it is easier to gain the initiative.

"This ...... Haha, you're really smart. Sen Xiao was slightly stunned, and then smiled:

"When we meet for the first time, where will I ask you for something......"

"Ahem, why is Lord Sen Xiao so polite?

I left my hometown to travel far away in order to improve my strength in all kinds of trials;

If you can give me this opportunity, I should thank you!"

Eddie noticed that Sen Xiao's mouth was slightly open and his gaze wandered, apparently ......

It's stuck.

It made sense, Eddie sneered inwardly;

It's as if a person is going to block the road and rob with a knife......

As a result, before he could touch the knife, the victim took the initiative to hand over the wallet and report the bank card password;

When the words come to his lips but become useless nonsense, he will definitely subconsciously organize the language;

This period of time is the best time to reverse the situation and change from passive to active!

"I'll take the liberty of guessing......

In this quiet and peaceful Qiantang Village, there is no invasion of demonic beasts, and there is no impact of war......

Well, the only thing you'll worry about is probably from ......

Inside, right?"

Add saw Sen Xiao's brow jump, and his face could barely suppress the change;

But apparently he couldn't admit it directly: "Haha, you're laughing, in this village......

How could there be any internal problems......"

"I've noticed that not everyone on the street is saluting you respectfully.

Some people are obviously quite concerned about your expression, while others are just coping with it. ”

Speaking of this, Eddie lowered his voice:

"So, you should have the other two knights...... Isn't it so pleasant to work with?"

"Uh-huh......!"

I can't even say what to say. Add sighed slightly, this guy's ability to resist pressure seemed to be worse than he expected......

Still, it is necessary to continue the inquiry.

"Generally speaking, a knight will have several soldiers as guards, servants, and so on;

You're probably not the only one of these two, right?"

“...... Exactly. The words he was about to say had already been finished by Eddie, and sweat began to seep from Sen Xiao's sideburns;

Add noticed that the soldiers didn't seem to be well equipped.

For example, the two escorts behind him were only wearing ordinary cloth armor and a few pieces of animal skin, not even serious leather armor;

The wooden gun in his hand didn't look like a high-end product, and even the rod was crooked.

"You want to be more powerful, right......?

So, I want to ask you, like these two soldiers behind you...... What is the origin?"

He ...... They. Sen Xiao seems to have finally found something to say,

"The one on your left, his father is a blacksmith, and he has no land at home, so he comes to me to eat;

The one on the right is the one with too many people in the family...... He had six older brothers, and it was not his turn to do farm work. ”

"They seem to be untrained people. Add nodded.

He noticed that Sen Xiao was leading himself and Orange Wind in the direction of the outside of the village:

"So, what about the others?"

"I have a few soldiers under my command, and they all come from similar backgrounds...... Alas. ”

It seems to have poked Sen Xiao's sore spot.

"Lord Senxiao, you really want to have a powerful person to help you...... Right?

Is he powerful enough to upset the balance of the village so that you can have a greater say......?

Hehe, I'm a little curious, how are the other two knights related to you?"

“...... That's what it looks like. Sen Xiao didn't intend to answer positively at all.

There are three knights in a village, and there is no threat worth confronting together;

Then the rest of their energy should only be used to-

Fight in the nest.

The size of the village will not change, but if there is a knight who admits intimidation or even disappears,

The remaining two will definitely get more taxes.

"So, that said, you'd rather want someone to join you,

Especially the kind that is powerful enough, right?

Do you think there are some things that are inconvenient to say ...... in such a public setting?"

“...... Ahem. Sen Xiao cleared his throat;

...... Sometimes it's not because it's really uncomfortable;

It's about delaying a little because there is nothing to say.

"The view outside the village is also good, let's go over there. ”

Sen Xiao, who had been robbed of his lines, could only point stiffly towards the forest outside the village.

"Everything is as you wish. Eddie said, glancing at the expression of Orange Wind following behind him;

Although I didn't understand what the young master was talking about, I felt like I was .jpg powerful

Predictable. Add nodded, and walked unhurriedly with Sen Xiao towards the outside of the village.

After leaving the village, the surroundings gradually quieted down;

At this time, the villagers are either busy in the house or in the fields, and have little time to wander around;

And Sen Xiao's demeanor also eased a lot, that kind of expression-

It's like a student discovering that the teacher who checked the evening self-study has gone away.

"This path...... Leads to Black Mud. After walking a few steps along the road, Sen Xiao motioned for Add to walk into the forest:

"Let's go into the forest and talk, it's more secretive. ”

He lowered his voice - as Eddie had described before, this kind of thing must not be obvious.

...... But there's no need to go into the forest.

The two soldiers didn't give Add the slightest room to manoeuvre;

Their expressions were rather stiff, as if Add was about to take action in the slightest bit of resistance.

"There are some things that we have to talk about privately. Sen Xiao's tone was much lower,

"And I do need your help. ”

Orange Wind heard the nearby branches and leaves rattling unnaturally—there was no wind at this moment;

Between the bushes and the grass, there seemed to be some unsettling dark shadow;

Only Eddie's steady pace could give the girl a little psychological comfort.

"It's a pity that what I need is not what you can give. After more than two hundred steps into the forest, Sen Xiao finally stopped;

"But I can trade you for it. ”

He jerked out his saber at his waist;

With the sound of metal and leather grinding, several figures emerge from the bushes, enveloping Add and Orange Wind;

These men are either armed with iron swords or spears—

"Don't try to resist. Sen Xiao couldn't suppress the smugness in his tone,

"After all, you are more valuable when you are alive. ”
