Chen Hansheng stood in his bedroom, leaned against the window, and lit a rare Chinese cigarette. In the dimly lit room with only the oil lamp, the red dot of the cigarette butt changed with his inhalation.

Karanda didn't like the smell and sat on the edge of the bed at a distance. However, she knew that every time this kind of moment came, it meant that Chen Hansheng was entangled in his heart.

Chen Hansheng sometimes closed his eyes, sometimes looked into the distance, as if he was constantly thinking about something in his head. Finally, he took a few sharp breaths, spit out a wisp of mist, and said: "There used to be a story in our hometown, called 'Hongmen Banquet', and later it became a word, called Yan Wu Good Banquet. ”

"Is it the story of inviting someone to dinner and then murdering the guest?" asked Kalanda.

"Clever! No one else knows how clever you are under the way you fight and kill. Chen Hansheng gave her a thumbs up, and then told the story of the Hongmen Banquet again.

After hearing this, Kalanda said, "Such stories are not uncommon in our country. Especially the aristocracy in remote places really did everything. People who believe in fists will always solve problems with their fists. By the way, there were people who hired us mercenary groups to be the 'knife and axemen' in that story. ”

"You must have refused?"

"No, we're not going to cut something good. I'm a mercenary, why don't you take it? It's just that the other party didn't come at all. Kalanda said with a worried look on her face, "Are you worried that the baron's banquet is a trap?"

Chen Hansheng shook the ashes and said, "The baron must not have a good heart. In a town with less than two thousand merchants, making forty or fifty friends means you know everything. I know that both of the baron's sons have returned, not only by themselves, but also with companions. The magician's side came to the Red Lotus Tower, and the baron's son-in-law also brought a capable team over, and there were actually twenty or thirty more warrior mages in such a small town. Who's this for, you say?"

"However, I have been thinking about whether or not I should take this opportunity to do it. Once we do it, we can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest, and there are many forces around us who will be offended, and maybe there will be a war on several sides, and the pressure will not be small. When Chen Hansheng said this, he looked at the baron's mansion in the distance outside the window in a daze, and forgot the cigarette in his hand.

Caranda came to him, leaned against the window, looked at him, and said, "I don't think you know enough about the virtues of the nobles, and if you show enough strength and make people feel that there is no profit to be gained, they will not avenge a nobleman who has lost power." ”

Chen Hansheng stared at her for a while, as if he had received some kind of encouragement, he pushed off the cigarette butt and closed the window, "There is still more than a day, enough for us to get ready." Now call everyone to a meeting! Lao Tzu's straw sandals this month are not made for nothing!"

The next day, Wang Xiaofeng walked into Lina's yard as usual, and then put the grass he was picking on the ground, and saw Lina coming over with a worried face.

"So?" he saw that Lena did not help carry the grass as usual, but stood beside him with her hands in each other's hands.

"You ...... Are you going to do something?" asked Lina hesitantly.

"Huh, why do you say that?"

"I'm ......," Lena struggled for a moment, "I saw that the fire in your yard was lit late last night. ”

Wang Xiaofeng looked left and right, closed the courtyard door, and said strangely: "Why are you staring at our hostel at night?"

Lena lowered her head and said, "I watch it every day, since you came here." ”

Wang Xiaofeng didn't understand at first, but then looked at Lina's face that began to flush, and finally came back to his heart. He said with some embarrassment: "Yes, there are some things, but you are a woman with children, just stay at home." ”

"It's a baron, right?"

"How did you think of the Baron. ”

"Don't be stupid! I don't know as much as you do, but I've heard you talk about it for so many days. I've also joined the Mutual Aid Society and the Women's Society, and everybody knows that you're here for the Baron, and that the Baron is not going to let us live a good life, but it's not going to be the time. ”

Wang Xiaofeng suddenly realized that he had been underestimating these locals, yes, who would be more stupid than anyone in this kind of human heart?

"Didn't you keep telling me a truth? The Baron has a grudge against me! I, I must do something. ”

Marreno is helping the old man Dominic chop wood again.

Dominic looked at him for a long time and said, "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have a fart, let it go." ”

"What?"

"You're only half as accurate as usual when you chop wood today, either you're stupid when you walk and hit your head, or you really have something on your mind to say. Dominic said.

"There's something!" Marreno admitted, nodding.

The old man snorted coldly, turned and went into the bedroom.

Lost in his movements, Maleno shook his head and had to continue chopping wood.

More than ten minutes later, Dominic reappeared. However, to Marreno's great surprise, he appeared at the door of the room wearing a leather armor and holding a long sword.

The old man's equipment looked a little old, but it was obviously maintained all year round. Maleno even noticed a visible patch on the right leg of the leather armor, sealing a large crack, which should be where Dominic was injured on the battlefield back then, right?

"It's been a long time since I've done it, so I'm really looking forward to it. The old man touched the blade of the sword, and then swung it forward vigorously, and the long sword slashed through the tip of Maleno's nose with a white halo of fighting energy, and at once split the firewood in half.

Situations like these two are happening in the homes of many local residents, and for the first time, many members of the working group have detached themselves from theory and realized from reality what they have done and what kind of rewards they have received in this month's work. For this, even Chen Hansheng expected it in his heart, but he was surprised by the initiative and cleverness of these townspeople.

In the hostel, Sova said seriously, "Mayor Chen, don't worry, I will do a good job of those members of the mutual aid association." Those of us may not have as much knowledge as you, but we all know who is good to us and who is really bad. You don't have to say anything, just tell us how to do it. We will not be ambiguous about what you want us to do. I know that whatever you do is for ourselves, so that we can live a better life!"

Doris on the side also said, "Yes." Although our women's union is still small, the sisters have no problem doing some logistical work. In the days of this month, we really learned a lot of truths that we didn't understand before. I understood what I was living for. ”
