Section 520 Escapism

After chatting a few words, the four of them sat down one after another. Cooks and maids serve a variety of dishes, including grilled steak, smoked pork knuckle, vegetable salad, juice and crispy roast duck. Old K, Jianyue Canglian and two maids served in the restaurant, helping everyone to divide the food and pour wine.

Seeing Yue Canglian standing behind Chen Xing. She doesn't move around like everyone else. Traditionally, court maids served only their own masters, and were not required to serve anyone else.

"Lord Chen's mansion is really full of talents, and even the maids around him are first-class." Bert looked at the moon canglian, "I feel that the spiritual energy fluctuations in her body are stronger than those of our two mayors, and her strength must be above us." ”

Chen Xing smiled and said, "Lord Bert, we are all friends, so you don't have to be so polite when you speak. As far as he knew, Mayor Bert did not marry a wife and have children, and most of the men around him were male servants, and he had not heard of any lovers, so he was probably not close to women and was bent on pursuing the way of the strong. Such praise for seeing the moon canglia must be out of compliment.

"If you have any needs, just put it forward, and Chen Xing, who can do it, will do his best."

was told by Chen Xing, Bert's old face turned red, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Lord Chen is quick to talk, so I won't go around in circles to show ugliness." Here's the thing, I want to buy a good liquid gold potion, but it is sold in sets outside, and it is rarely broken up and sold in parts. I don't have a way, so I want to ask Master Chen if he has it. He sighed, "I'm ashamed to say that I haven't experienced a breakthrough in many years. Mr. Chen often goes out, and his connections are definitely wider than those of an old guy like me who nests in remote places, so he is cheeky to ask for it. ”

"It's simple, I have a few here, I can transfer it to you if you want." Chen Xing said. The elixir of flowing gold is very expensive, and it is not suitable to give it away, but it is okay to transfer it. He brought back twenty sticks, and it was not a problem to transfer one or two, and he didn't believe that twenty would be used for a breakthrough.

"That's great! I don't want much, one is enough. Bert hesitated for a moment, then asked, "I just don't know how much it costs?" ”

"It's all partners, just look at it." Chen Xing said generously.

"That's not going to work!" Bert hurriedly said, "The gold elixir is worth a lot of money, and it's already very good to be able to transfer it, no matter how much you can't make it a loss." ”

"Okay, I'll have someone bring it after dinner." Chen Xing said dryly.

"Thank you in advance!" Having received a definite answer, Mayor Bert was elated and drank several glasses of red wine in one go.

"Old guy, are you tired, you are still learning young people to break through, don't accidentally toss and scatter the bone frame." Mayor Ambisi scoffed, but his tone was a little sour.

"Lord Ambisi, if you need it, I can also transfer one to you." Chen Xing said. The two mayors are partners, and they can't favor one over the other, lest they get upset.

"I'll forget it, I can......'t afford to pay tens of thousands of gold coins," said Ambisi, glancing at Yuecanglia, "If you have spare money, you might as well invite a palace maid back." ”

The fringe towns are characterized by poverty, and the mayor is no exception. When he was young, he had to buy an evolution potion, and when he reached middle age, he had to support his family, and although Ambisi had a noble title, he couldn't afford to pay the aid of a court maid.

The basic aid for the court maid is 20,000 gold coins, part of which is given to the maid's family for settling-in expenses, and part is given to the academy as the cost of training maids, and if there are competitors, the highest bid is used as the benchmark.

For small nobles with average economic conditions, court maids were very cost-effective. In a small place, 20,000 gold coins can marry several wives.

When Ambisi was young, he relied on bank loans to buy evolution potions to break through the town guard level, and spent another sum of money when he allocated the territory, and he was paying off his debts until he was thirty-five years old. After starting a family, as the children grow up, the family's expenses increase year by year, but the tax income remains the same, and there is not much spare money at all.

A fringe town mayor like Chen Xing, who has deep pockets, is extremely rare in the entire Red Earth Continent.

"Money is a small thing." Chen Xing comforted, "When our zombie park opens, the income will definitely rise!" ”

"Yes, I wish us a successful project and a lot of money!" Ambisi said, raising his glass.

The three mayors clinked glasses, and Suna was eating quietly, her face full of small happiness.

After a few glasses of red wine, the two mayors began to talk about current affairs.

"I've heard from merchants passing by that the situation on the other side of the Dragon River is getting more and more tense, and it may not be long before there will be a war."

Current politics was an indispensable part of the aristocratic table and has not changed for thousands of years.

"But isn't it, my unsuccessful son, who doesn't know where he heard the news, clamoring all day long to go out and make a contribution. I didn't read the book well, but I was making a fool of myself, saying that I wanted to give him a sum of money, that he wanted to recruit troops, and that he wanted to take advantage of the situation, which was really better than singing......"

Ambisi babbled, Chen Xing couldn't help but sigh, the mid-life crisis is really terrible.

"In fact, I think young people should be let out to wander around, how can they grow up without experience? I can remind you that your title of nobility is not hereditary, and when you stretch out your feet, Beauty Town will change its name. Mayor Bert advised.

"Oh, with his strength, what else is he going to do, he has his share as cannon fodder." Ambisi said very ironcladly.

In order to prevent Mayor Ambisi from bringing family conflicts to the table, Bert changed the topic and said to Chen Xing, "Lord Chen, you just came back from outside, you are well-informed, what do you think of the current situation?" ”

"I can't say what I think, in essence, two women want to be kings, and the old king is dying but not dead, so the contradiction comes." Chen Xing said vaguely.

"In this way, as long as the old king dies, the country will be at war." Mayor Bert said.

"The dispute between the Queen's Party and the Royalists has been going on for a long time, and now that a princess party has emerged, it seems that the world is really going to change a lot." Mayor Ambisi said.

"I wonder what Master Chen's plans are?" Mayor Bert looked at Chen Xing, "Since ancient times, when the world is in turmoil, it is the year of heroes, and it is a good opportunity for men to fight on the battlefield and make contributions......

"Brother, are you going out again?" Mayor Bert was interrupted by a crying voice. Chen Xing turned his head to look, and Suna was looking at him with pear blossoms and rain.

"Well, my brother won't go out." Chen Xing reached out and touched Suna's head, and then said to the two mayors, "The world is in chaos, but what does this have to do with us?" ”

"We fringe towns, so poor that even ants take a detour, who would be interested in us? No matter how chaotic it is, it won't affect us, at most it's a little troublesome to buy. Chen Xing said leisurely, "It's windy and rainy outside, wouldn't it be nice for us to close the door and make a fortune in a muffled voice?" ”

Chen Xing's words made the two mayors fall into deep thought. After a long time, the two of them raised their heads, and their eyes sparkled.

"Lord Chen's words were like an initiation, which made An Mou's mouth open."

"We don't have any soldiers and no generals, what do we do when we go out to join in the excitement, when the time comes, the fame will fall apart if we don't get a handful of bones, it's better to concentrate on development in this acre and three points."

Both raised their glasses at the same time.

"In the future, An will take Lord Chen's head as a leader." "Yes, it's all up to Master Chen."

Chen Xingxing said, "Thanks to the trust of the two mayors, in the future, we will build the three towns of orchid, beauty and roast duck into an iron triangle, and help each other and seek common development in the coming troubled times." ”

"Good!" "Cheers!"

After drinking a cup, Chen Xing poured another glass, "Come, we won't get drunk tonight!" ”

After a cup exchange, the friendship between the three mayors is deeper.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Xing asked Lao K to take Mayor Bert to the side hall to get the elixir of flowing gold, and then called Mrs. Claire and her eldest daughter Ashahi.

"Good evening, Lord Ambisi!" "Ashahi has seen an adult." Lady Claire and Asahi saluted.

Claire's mother and daughter are the people in charge of the zombie paradise project, and during the construction process, the two sides have been in contact many times, so they are relatively familiar.

When he saw the two women, Ambisi's eyes lit up, revealing a look of greed.

And in the face of the more beautiful Suna and the moon canglian, Ambisi's eyes are pure and there is no greed. Because Ambisi is a wise and practical man, he knows that it is impossible to get it, and he will not move his mind.

It has to be said that this is an advantage that many people do not have. Although Ambisi is a womanizer who is full of lust even with the name of the town, he is also a principled womanizer who understands his position and does not have unrealistic illusions.

It is precisely because of this that Ambisi can live peacefully in this cruel world.

"Mrs. Claire, Mayor Ambicy has drunk too much tonight, and needs your mother and daughter to take care of it."

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Ambixi was ecstatic, but in the next second, he returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

Mrs. Claire paused for a moment, and looked back at her eldest daughter, who was also glazed over.

"If it's inconvenient, forget it." Chen Xing said lightly, his voice had no temperature, but it made people feel cold down his spine.

Mrs. Claire closed her eyes, took a deep breath, lifted her skirt and curts, "Lord Ambisi, if you don't dislike it, please go to the house and take a rest. ”

"W-how embarrassing is this." Ambisi rubbed his hands, his eyes lit up, but his mouth was full of excuses.

"My lord, please come to the house for a cup of coffee and sober up, Ashahi still has some questions about the construction of the park that I need to ask you." Ashahi curtsied, his eyes sparkling like water.

"Isn't it going to be too much trouble for you?" "It's an honor for our Claire family to come to our house."

"Oh, then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, haha......" "Your Excellency, please, your Excellency is careful of the steps, I will support you."

Later, Ambisi got into the car with the help of Claire's mother and daughter. The car drove slowly out of the mansion and disappeared into the night.

It didn't take long for an argument to come from the side hall. Mayor Bert insisted on giving 50,000 gold coins, but Chen Xing instructed Lao K to only accept 30,000 yuan, and the two sides disputed and stalemate, and the last person gave in and collected 40,000 gold coins.

After a while, Mayor Bert, who had obtained the elixir of flowing gold, left the manor satisfied.

In the courtyard, Chen Xing looked up at the night sky, and the moon was particularly round today.

It won't be long before he will make this his own little kingdom. In the coming chaos, resist the wind and waves, and survive in the troubled times.
