Chapter 185: I Want to Meet the King!
Without saying a word, Baye took the handwritten book from the two of them and looked at it with a frown.
“…… This is indeed a handwritten book from Camelot. ”
After a moment of examination, Baye said with a blank face.
"It's good to understand, get out of the way, don't stop us from carrying out our official duties!" Hearing this, the two soldiers suddenly became proud, and their expressions became more and more unscrupulous, "And everyone present must pay taxes according to the head!" This is the king's command, and anyone who dares to disobey it will be treated as treason! ”
"Wait, I'm not done yet." However, at this moment, Baye strode in front of the two soldiers, his strong arms wrapped around him.
"Baye, you...... Still have questions? Isn't it already confirmed that it's Camelot's decree? ”
Feeling the extremely oppressive momentum of Baye's body up close, and touching the latter's cold eyes, the bodies of the two soldiers also trembled involuntarily.
"It's true that this decree was issued by Camelot, but ......," Valle's tone was a little harsh, "we don't accept it!" Even if the king really gave such an order, we would not be able to obey it! ”
"W-what?!"
Baye's words fell, not only the two soldiers were stunned, but everyone in the restaurant was shocked at this moment.
"Valle...... Do you know what you're talking about? With your words now, we can inform our superiors to send an army to arrest you! The two soldiers spun their heads several times before they could react, and then they shouted loudly.
"Oh my God, Baye can't be crazy!"
"I think most of it. No matter how reluctant he was, since it was an order from Camelot, was there a second option but to obey? ”
"Alas...... Baye is really impulsive, and now he has a handle in the hands of Lehman and York, and he will be able to bear the ...... in the future."
The people around were talking to each other.
There are those who are shocked and admired, and there are those who gloat, but most people shake their heads and sigh.
After all, many of them have not been taken care of by Baye on weekdays, and now seeing that Baye is about to fall into a disadvantageous situation, they are naturally sad in their hearts.
"Baye, take back your crazy words! We know you're doing it for us, but we can't let you be punished for it. The owner of the restaurant said anxiously to Valle as he took out another bag of coins from the counter.
"Two adults, I am willing to pay double the tax this time, which is also the entire business income of the small store this month......" The owner grabbed the money bag and planned to stuff it into the arms of the two soldiers, "I just ask the two adults, I didn't hear anything just now......"
"Will, it's because you're so timid and afraid that these moths are becoming more and more unscrupulous, eager to suck you clean!"
The owner of the restaurant was completely kind, but he didn't expect that Baye not only did not appreciate it, but reprimanded him with anger on his face.
"I ...... I ......" was suddenly reprimanded by Bayer, and the owner of the restaurant lowered his head and snorted.
"All of you, I have something to say to you today, and I would like to listen to it." With a solemn expression, Baye turned to everyone, "We are Britons, loyal subjects of the king, and there is nothing wrong with that. From birth, we are taught to always be guided by the king's commands, and our ancestors have done this for generations. ”
"In the final analysis, we support the king because he has our interests at foresight and has personally protected us from disease, poverty, and external troubles." Baye pressed his hand to his chest, and his tone was very sincere, "Britain has just experienced war, and everything is still in a stage of ruin, and many of us can barely fill our stomachs. At such times, the king did not allocate money and food for relief, but even collected taxes from us, who already had nothing. Everyone asks themselves, do you feel reasonable for this kind of thing? ”
"......" The people present bowed their heads in unison and remained silent.
Obviously, not everyone is as frank as Baye, who dares to express his thoughts recklessly.
No matter how much dissatisfaction they have in their hearts, they will at most use silence as a weapon.
"I know that people have scruples in their hearts and dare not express their thoughts directly." Baye nodded understandingly, "However, if you don't stand up today and tell the king that we can't accept this unreasonable decree, we will continue to be unreasonably oppressed in the future." Even if you could endure it, would you bear to let your children, and the children of your children, be treated unjustly? ”
There were already a lot of people below, and they couldn't help but raise their heads to look at Baye.
"I'm not you, and I can't call the shots for you, but at least I, Baye, can't get used to all of this, and I'm going to say it out loud!" Baye puffed out his chest and said proudly, "I, Baye, am only a British citizen, and I intend to go to Camelot to confront the king in person!" I will tell the king the truth of the situation here, so that he can truly understand our situation and make a lovable act! ”
"Bold, no one is allowed to enter the Carmellot without permission, this ban that all Britain puts in the first place, have you forgotten?" Lehman and York's expressions turned fierce in vain, "Don't say that when you see the king, just your demagogic remarks just now can be regarded as a rebellion!" None of the defenders here will allow you to leave this place alive! ”
Qiang Qiang Qiang –
As if accompanied by their words, dozens of heavily armed soldiers burst into the restaurant, encircling Valle.
Looking at their appearance, they seemed to be full of jealousy of Baye's plan, and they wanted to kill the latter on the spot.
"Really? If citizens in Britain don't even have the freedom to express their own opinions, I don't think the so-called holy city of Camelot should be either! ”
Valle smiled coldly and waved his arm.
Dozens of masked men in burqas rushed out from the shadows with short knives in hand.
The two sides looked at each other vigilantly, and confronted each other from a distance.
The restaurant, which was originally quite spacious, was instantly crowded with this vain extra crowd on both sides, and it was impossible to get through.
"Baye, are you really planning to rebel?" Among the soldiers, a man who looked like a captain walked out slowly, looking at Baye with a grim expression.
"As I said, I'm just going to go to Camelot to meet the king and tell him what is going on here." Baye calmly faced the other's gaze.
"That's impossible, the king is extremely noble, where is it that people like you can see it when they say it?" Without hesitation, the captain waved his hand and rejected Valle's proposal, "If you are smart enough to make your men surrender now, there is still room for things to turn around!" ”
