325 Tough (I)

After all, it was a person who had seen blood and had gone through the battle array, and the middle-aged man laughed at himself twice, and then threw one of the noodle bags on the other table. The gold coin collided with the table with a thud, attracting the attention of everyone in the tavern. Moxibustion heat, greed, possession, and other negative eyes are all expressed.

"Jie, everyone gets a gold coin, and the tavern owner can also get one, and you can keep the rest of the gold coins for me, and I'll pick them up tomorrow." The middle-aged man shouted at a bald strong man with a sunken left cheek, then stood up and said to Chen Xiansong: "Noble lord, please come with me, this is not the place to talk, besides, there are some things, you have to ask my younger brother about it." ”

Chen Xiansong stood up and followed behind the middle-aged man. It's near the equator line, and the midday sun is unusually hot, and unknown bugs are chirping outside. The middle-aged man led the way and walked into an alley, where there were different trees on both sides that were not too tall, but had a large crown, and it was unusually cool to walk underneath.

"Although I don't understand why you are looking for a lord, I have a piece of advice, I must mention it to the noble lord." The middle-aged man threw a small bag containing gold coins with his right hand: "For the sake of gold coins!" Our city lord is very lustful, as the local master, he has the power of the first night, so ......" He glanced at Bai Min, and naturally understood the meaning of his words.

Two little boys in shirts walked past them, one of them silently touched Chen Xiansong's pocket, but before he could weigh Chen Xiansong, a small white ball of light hit the hand he stretched out, and after screaming in pain, the little boy turned around and ran away, and the other boy also ran away.

Bai Min didn't chase. When the middle-aged man saw this scene, he smiled and said: "Noble lord, don't blame them, our city will fight with the gang of shit in the south every month, sometimes two or three battles, there are many deaths, no one is bothering to farm the land, and there are no merchants coming, everything is lacking here." It's not easy to survive as a child today, and when I was a child, I stole a lot of people's money and stole the neighbor's chickens, so it's not too easy to survive here. When I was a kid. Just a little rascal. ”

This is an act that makes people feel good, and it is called self-deprecation. In interpersonal communication. It's often used.

Chen Xiansong smiled and expressed his acceptance of the other party's overtures, and he said, "We have also walked all the way, and I don't know your name." ”

"Johan." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "There are not fifty people with this name in the city, but also thirty. No way. Ordinary people like us don't have the opportunity to read at all, and if they can't read, they don't have knowledge. Help your children come up with names. You can only start with others, and if it sounds pleasing to your ears, you can start that. ”

"My name is Chen Xiansong and I am from the Kingdom of Kate."

"Isn't it the Kingdom of Aurora?" Johan looked back as he walked, and he was a little strange: "Look at your and your wife's hair, eyes, and skin, I always thought you were an Aurora. ”

"But we're from Kate's kingdom." Chen Xiansong smiled: "Well, people like us are indeed easy to be misunderstood. ”

Bai Min was also a little happy in her heart, she had always hated chimpanzees, but this chimpanzee was not too annoying, because he said that he was Xiao Song's wife, which was very good and made her happy. Of course, she was still cold on the surface, except for Chen Xiansong, who could feel that she seemed to be a little happier, and the others didn't know what her mood was.

The three of them walked slowly in the winding alleys, chatting casually, and after a while, the atmosphere between the two sides became more harmonious. Johan's family lived in a low, low, mud-brick row of houses, including the one with the newly painted red door.

Compared to the surrounding mud houses, Johan's house is noticeably better because it is made of stone bricks and has two floors.

After walking here, before entering the door, Chen Xiansong found that he was being watched. There is no way to do this, onlookers are a characteristic rooted in human instinct, and under the premise that there are not enough sources of information, they are illiterate, and they cannot read books and intelligence, onlookers are one of the means by which human beings obtain information.

A large group of patches on their clothes, barefoot adults and children followed behind Chen Xiansong and Bai Min, their characteristics were obvious, that is, their hair was messy, their whole body was dirty, and there were few clean people, if their eyes were sharp, they could see some blood-sucking little bugs burrowing through their hair.

The people in Chen Xiansong's territory, although they are not extremely wealthy, but at least everyone is very energetic and clean, generally speaking, what kind of character of the lord is, what kind of state of the lord. Chen Xiansong people look clean and clean, and they do things cleanly, and the people learn from each other, so they are naturally clean.

Surrounded by strange smells, Chen Xiansong and Bai Min entered Yohan's house, and a little boy heard the sound of the door opening and rushed out, and when he was about to cheer his father home, he saw Chen Xiansong and Bai Min, and with a whoosh, he got behind Yohan, poked out a small head and looked at the two outsiders.

Johan touched the top of his head lovingly, and said, "This little fellow is not at all like my species. ”

Although he said this, he gently stroked the top of the child's head. After a while, a young woman with a good appearance came out from behind, she was much cleaner than the rest of the outsiders, although her clothes were a little old, but there was not a single patch on them, and she was also very clean.

"Here comes a distinguished guest, go and prepare some fruit wine and delicious things." Johan handed the small cloth bag to his wife: "Put it away." He asked his son to call his brother over, and said that there was a distinguished guest waiting for him here. ”

The child cheered and rushed out the door. When the young woman saw Chen Xiansong and Bai Min, she bowed a little stiffly, and then immediately returned to the kitchen to prepare a meal for the guests. Yohan and Chen Xiansong chatted, and after a while, the young woman began to bring some fruit wine and hastily prepared dishes, Chen Xiansong took a look, the dishes and chopsticks were very clean, and they were definitely washed again.

It is rare for commoners to entertain nobles, but in fact, Yohan is also a little empty in his heart, for fear of losing his manners. Chen Xiansong took a sip of fruit wine, took a sip of side dishes, and then said: "Home-cooked food, the taste is very warm." ”

Johan was relieved, and not long after, the child brought in a young man from outside. He resembles Johan, with a small flat head, a suit of soft leather armor, and a one-handed sword pinned to his waist. He came in and saw Bai Min at a glance, and after a few seconds, he insisted on moving his gaze to Chen Xiansong, and only then did he look at his brother and ask, "Big brother, I'm here, don't you want to introduce me?" ”

Chan remembered that Johan had said that his younger brother was a knight. It was a peculiar class, somewhere between the commoners and the nobility. They have some special small rights, they are considered members of the nobility, but they have no titles and no territories. Usually attached to the big nobles, do all kinds of things for them, of course, the benefits are still good.

Yohan introduces his brother's name, Jerry, which is also a popular name. He is one of the sixty knights of the city lord, has participated in more than a dozen wars, and commands a squad of twenty soldiers. From a civilian point of view, he is a very good person. There are many civilian girls in the city who like him, but he still has no intention of getting married.

Chen Xiansong also introduced himself, of course, he didn't say anything that should be hidden. Then, Chen Xiansong explained the intention, Jerry immediately became vigilant when he heard it, he looked directly at Chen Xiansong, and said: "Your Excellency, you are from the Kate Kingdom, why do you want to ask me about the city lord's preferences, and why?" ”

"If you have a request for others, of course, you must know each other's hobbies." Chen Xiansong said: "It would be great if you could introduce me to it. ”

Jerry was skeptical. Kate's kingdom is so far away, who can guarantee Chen Xiansong's true identity. Indeed, he undoubtedly looked like a nobleman, but what if it was a nobleman from an enemy country, and what if it was an assassin? As the knight of the city lord, Jerry thought about a lot of things with experience, and finally he shook his head and said: "Your Excellency, I can't help with this matter, we can't verify your identity, and we can't help you introduce the city lord." ”

"Really?" Chen Xiansong asked.

Jerry continued to shake his head. Chen Xiansong didn't care, and after chatting for a while, he got up and said goodbye. Seeing the figures of Chen Xiansong and Bai Min disappear into the depths of the alley, the two brothers returned to the room, and Yohan complained: "That's a big financier, as long as you reveal some news, and then say a few words in front of the city lord, you can get a lot of money, why don't you do it?" ”

"Big brother, this person is not simple, you should also see it, that woman is definitely a killer. As a knight, I must not expose the lord of the castle to such a danger. ”

Johan was silent. Jerry left the eldest brother's house, and then went straight to the city lord's mansion to meet his master.

The castle lord's name is Lancelot, and it is said that this is the name of a hero who does not know the details and deeds in the ancient magic era. The city lord liked his name very much, he sat on the high red throne, listening to Jerry tell what had just happened, and in the middle of it, he raised his hand to interrupt his subordinates and asked, "You just said that the women around him are beautiful?" ”

Jerry sighed, then nodded.

"How beautiful?"

"I can't describe it." Jerry said, "The first time I saw her, I almost couldn't take my eyes off it. ”

"That's what you have to see." Lancelot's eyes lit up, and his fairly handsome face was full of excited smiles.

"Master, I advise you not to do this." Jerry said, "That woman is strong, she smells of blood, and she has definitely killed more people than the two of us combined." In my case, there are few people in this city who are her opponents. In addition, the true identity of that Chen Xiansong is unknown. You summon them in case they have evil intentions......"

"It doesn't matter." Lancelot said: "I'm not stupid, I'll find a way to get what I can get, and I will never touch what I can't touch." There are too many dangerous people in this world, I know that. Jerry, I'm going to have a small banquet in the evening, and I'm going to invite the other three noble heads over, and you can go and bring them both of you too. (To be continued......)
