077 Garfield's Caravan (2)
There were a lot of medical supplies in the cellar of 'Pinhuaju', and Chen Xiansong sent someone to take them out. After watching his subordinates being ointended, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the wounded were separated and moved into the houses of Greystone, for which the caravan paid a small fee, of course.
The personnel of this group of caravans are all black-haired and black-eyed Aurora people, their clothes are mainly robes, and the middle-aged man in the lead is wearing something similar to a step armor, Chen Xiansong has seen patterns in history books before. Next to the middle-aged man, there was also a young man in a blue and white silk robe, who was staring intently at Bai Min behind Chen Xiansong.
"Thank you, sir." The middle-aged man arched his hand, the name of the nobles in the Aurora Kingdom was different from that of other countries, he took a money bag from his subordinates, handed it over, and said at the same time: "A small thank you gift, not a tribute." ”
This bag is full of gold coins, about a hundred or so. The medical supplies that Chen Xiansong gave to the other party were probably worth twenty or thirty gold coins, and he was about to decline, but Bai Min, who was standing behind him, suddenly stood up and took out the money bag in the middle-aged man's hand.
Bai Min is so beautiful that most men are attracted to her, such as the young man who is still staring at her. But this middle-aged man, sweeping Bai Min's gaze looked extremely bland, as if Bai Min was just an ordinary woman in his eyes.
The two sides were polite, Chen Xiansong invited the two into the house to talk, and the middle-aged man readily agreed.
Compared with other nobles, Chen Xiansong's 'home' is very simple in terms of luxury, except for a set of exquisite tableware and tea sets sent by Udier on the day of his stay, as well as some golden silk nanmu furniture sent by the lord's mansion, there are no other valuable things. When the young man saw this situation, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes, and the middle-aged man sighed, he found that the layout in the house was quite interesting, and there seemed to be an inexplicable connection between things, and he thought about it for a long time, and when his head hurt and was almost confused, he finally thought of a word: convenience.
Bai Min and Alice served flower tea together. Bai Min didn't speak, so he stepped aside, but Alice said very kindly: "Master, please use it slowly." ”
Although Alice always quarrels with Chen Xiansong, she is actually very knowledgeable, and when there are outsiders, she will always give Chen Xiansong enough face. The young man's gaze swirled around Alice, and then returned to Bai Min. Chen Xiansong took a sip of hot tea, and the wind and snow outside just now froze him enough.
Next, the names of the two sides were reported, the middle-aged man's name was Chen Zeyi, and the young man's name was Chen Guangrong, who was the nephew of the middle-aged man.
Chen Xiansong also said his name.
When the middle-aged man heard this, he said, "Oh, Mr. is also surnamed Chen, maybe we were a family five hundred years ago." ”
Chen Xiansong laughed a few times. He had seen this kind of dialogue in historical TV dramas before, and when he heard it in reality, it was really a bit fresh. In the new human era, the world is the same, there are no boundaries between countries and nations, and race represents more of a culture than something else. However, because Chen Xiansong grew up, there are still mostly Asians with black hair and black eyes, so he feels that Chen Zeyi is a little kind.
"The Kingdom of Aurora is quite far from here." Chen Xiansong asked curiously while drinking tea, "There is still the Kingdom of Owa in the middle. Now that Uwa and Tachibana are at war, the border around here is very dangerous, so why don't you travel thousands of miles to the Kate Kingdom to do business. ”
Chen Zeyi smiled bitterly: "No matter how chaotic and dangerous it is, can it be compared to the current Aurora Dynasty?" ”
Chen Xiansong nodded: "I have heard someone mention this matter, saying that it is the great famine of the Aurora Kingdom, and many people have fled. ”
"Sir is not from the Kingdom of Aurora?" Chen Zeyi asked curiously.
Chen Xiansong shook his head: "No." ”
Chen Zeyi sighed sadly: "The great drought that occurs once in a thousand years, the six southern provinces have no harvest, and the six southern provinces were originally the granaries of the Aurora Kingdom, but now the ordinary people have even eaten up the moss in the shade, and they are even hungry to eat." But the relief food distributed by the imperial court was deducted layer by layer, most of it went into the pockets of corrupt officials, and the hungry victims had to rise up to fight, at first they played the banner of eliminating corrupt officials and clearing the monarch's side, but it didn't take long for the number of rebels to increase, and it became 'the prince and the general, rather there is a kind of', and they began to rebel nakedly. ”,
Chen Zeyi continued to say slowly: "The rebels caught the gentry, that is, the nobles mentioned by the Kate Kingdom, whether they were good or bad, loyal or treacherous, they were all killed, and the female dependents were used as military prostitutes, and the men were tattooed on their faces, and they were enslaved forever. As a result, the gentry had to flee en masse. ”
Chen Xiansong said: "In this way, you are also ......"
"Your Excellency sees?" Chen Zeyi's face was full of bitter smiles: "Our Chen family is also a member of the fleeing gentry. My nephew and I were in charge of exploring the road ahead, but I didn't expect that not far before passing through your land, we suddenly encountered a night attack by more than a dozen Garfield cats when we stayed overnight, we suffered heavy losses, and there were not many wound medicines on the road, and everyone in the caravan was our Chen family's children, and in a hurry, they collided with your territory, please forgive me. ”
Chen Xiansong waved his hand: "It's okay, what are your plans next?" I took a look just now, many of your wounded are seriously injured, and it is not easy to travel far, and besides, it is freezing now, and if you go out, it will not be very good for the injured to heal. ”
Chen Zeyi thought for a moment and said cautiously: "Your Excellency, we want to stay here for a while until the children's injuries are better, and then we can leave." As he spoke, he took out a money bag from his body and put it on the table, judging from the muffled sound caused by the collision with the table, there were at least about 100 gold coins in this money bag: "I heard that the Kingdom of Kate is different from our Aurora, the land of the nobles is private, even the royal family cannot be violated casually." Follow the local customs, this is some of our little care, and please accept it. We hope that we can set up a tent outside the village for a while, and that my husband will grant this small request. ”
It's just a few days to stay in the villagers, it's not a big deal, of course Chen Xiansong agreed, he was about to ask the other party to take back the money on the table, but at this time, Bai Min suddenly stretched out his hand, took the bag away without saying a word, turned around and went to the secret room where the gold was stored, Chen Xiansong had to touch his nose and give up.
After getting the permission of the master here, Chen Zeyi was obviously relieved, and the two sides were polite for a while, Chen Zeyi left after saying that he was going to deal with the caravan's stay, and the young man seemed reluctant, and kept looking back at the door that Bai Min had opened and left first.
In the evening, Bai Qianxin, who loves to sleep as lazy as Chen Xiansong, came down from the third floor to have dinner. She took a bite of vegetarian food in her mouth and asked, "Just now at the window on the third floor, I saw that there were more guys who looked like caravans outside, what happened?" ”
Chen Xiansong told what happened. Bai Qianxin smiled when she heard this: "You are indeed a good person, I should praise this, you are worthy of being a child taught by the new human race." It's just that...... It's actually very dangerous for you to do this, do you know the way but don't you know the way? ”
"Dangerous?" Chen Xiansong was a little puzzled.
Bai Qian said earnestly: "In such an era of dark civilization, only a small number of people can be called human, and the others are more beasts in human skin, and no one knows what they will do in the next moment." I've seen a lot of people who are smiling at you one moment, but stabbing you in the back the next. You shouldn't let them live outside the village until you know the details of others. ”
Chen Xiansong was a little unconvinced: "It's just that they have a lot of wounded, and we also have our own armed escort team...... If it does, it won't do them any good, and I don't think they will be so stupid. Besides, to be convenient with others is to be convenient with oneself. ”
"It seems that you also made a decision after thinking about it." Bai Qianxin nodded and said, "Then I'm much more relieved, but I still think it's better to drive them away." ”
Chen Xiansong was about to speak, but at this time, Bai Min stood up, and she stood in front of Bai Qianxin.
"Cyborgs are not allowed to interfere with the decisions made by new humans and natural people." A data stream flowed through Bai Min's eyes, and his eyes looked at Bai Qianxin lifelessly: "Biochemical people don't have the right to suggest. If you question Xiao Song's decision again, I will see you as an enemy. ”
Alice looked at the two of them, her expression was a little overwhelmed, she liked her sister Bai Min very much, but she also liked Bai Qianxin, she felt that if she had such a sister, it would be a pretty good thing. Now that the two seem to be arguing, she doesn't know who to help.
Bai Qianxin was stunned for a while, and patted her head with some annoyance: "Damn, I was so emotional, I almost forgot this rule...... You're right, Xiaomin, I was negligent in this matter, and I admit my mistake. But...... Xiao Min, you are too fond of Xiao Song like this, you can't question him a little! ”,
"Not allowed." Bai Min said coldly.
"Okay, okay, Xiaomin, let's eat." Chen Xiansong saw that the situation was not right, and immediately came out to play a round.
After dinner, taking advantage of Bai Min's time to wash the dishes, Bai Qianxin pulled Chen Xiansong to the storage room on the fourth floor, which was quite quiet and had a good soundproofing effect.
"Xiao Song, I was a little self-righteous when I spoke at dinner just now." Bai Qianxin said sincerely: "After having feelings, I can't always find a balance between reason and emotion, and I'm not trying to interfere with your decisions, I'm sorry." ”
Chen Xiansong shook his head vigorously: "Don't say that, there is one more person to help me refer to things, it's too late for me to be happy." ”
"Then I'm relieved, I'm really afraid that you'll have a nasty mood for me." Bai Qianxin patted her towering chest with peace of mind: "Actually, I'm more worried about Xiao Min, judging from the situation just now, she cares about you too much, in case something happens to you in the future, what hurts, I'm afraid that she will do something incredible." ”
"You mean?"
"Like, the Holocaust and stuff like that." Bai Qian said worriedly: "So, you have to be careful in everything, no matter what you do, you must carefully consider the consequences clearly, don't let Xiao Min have that kind of situation, otherwise the consequences will be difficult to clean up." ”
Chen Xiansong nodded, and suddenly, he felt a lot more pressure on his body.
Outside the entrance of the village, Chen Zeyi's caravan had already set up a tent to stay in. The uncle and nephew were eating dinner around a hot pot.
Chen Guangrong said suddenly: "Sixth Uncle, that guy named Chen Xiansong took away our two hundred gold coins at once, isn't he too greedy?" Two hundred gold coins, not two hundred silver coins, but he didn't even send a little food, and this person is too unreasonable, obviously just a small nobleman in a small village. ”
Chen Zeyi squinted at his nephew: "So you want to encourage me to kill that guy, and then you can rob the maid who looks like a fairy?" ”
Chen Guangrong's face became embarrassed: "Sixth uncle, I didn't think so. ”
"Guangrong, now we are 'the whole clan fleeing'. This is the Kingdom of Kate, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and it is worth spending two hundred gold coins to buy a peace. You'd better put away that little bit of caution. If a man wants to achieve great things, he must first give up women and gold. ”
After Chen Guangrong's careful thinking was exposed, his face was stunned for a while, but not long after, he spoke up again: "Sixth uncle, this person named Chen Xiansong is obviously a citizen of our Aurora Kingdom, but he has become a nobleman here, do you think this is a little strange?" ”
Chen Zeyi knew that although his nephew was very, he was not stupid, and from time to time he would have unique opinions: "Then what do you think?" ”
"Uncle Liu, that's what I think." Chen Guangrong put down the bowl in his hand and said slowly: "I think that I have seen the best people in the world before, but in our Qingyang City, what kind of woman is there." But it's really the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman, Sixth Uncle, don't you think it's strange? It is said that there are such beautiful women among the servants of the sun god, but how can the servants of the sun gods become the maids of ordinary people. ”
Uncle Liu frowned, his face was very disappointed: "You say it, it's still going around on women, you have to change your lustful problem." ”
Chen Guangrong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, please listen to the little nephew." I, Chen Guangrong, am also a seasoned person, but when I saw the woman, my first thought was to snatch her over. Kate's place is barbaric, and the wind of robbing people is even worse. I took a closer look, there are only about fifty guards here, and the lord of the manor looks even more cowardly and bullying, but no one came to rob the woman, why? Sixth uncle, you don't like women, so naturally you don't think it's strange, but in my opinion, this thing seems to be a bit boring. ”
Chen Zeyi held his black beard away: "Listening to what you said, there are indeed doubts in it, what do you think, let's say it first." ”
"This Chen Xiansong is very likely to be pretending to be a bull and eating Garfield." Chen Guangrong said slowly: "I can't be sure, he is a descendant of a certain big family, a big family, just like us, he escaped from Aurora, but they left early, built a strong force here, and even became a nobleman." What we see is only the appearance, and there may be their hidden strongholds not far away. ”
Chen Zeyi's eyes flashed: "Aurora Middle School, a family surnamed Chen like us...... Only the city of Le Losa...... Heluo Chen family. If it was really them, then Chen Shengwu, the leader of the rebel army...... Hehe, Heluo Chen family, it's so calculating, it's really calculating, our Qingyang Chen family is inferior to them after all. ”
