Volume 2 Text Chapter 22 The Purple-Clothed Man's Choice
Zhou Feng was stunned and didn't take the gold coin.
"I'm not angry, I'm just thinking about something else, I can't ask for this money. Zhou Feng said.
Lisa directly stuffed the gold coin into Zhou Feng's pocket.
"You didn't send Boss Moussa to Rogue this time, but you brought him back safely in danger, and the mission has been successfully completed! Don't abandon your employer in that situation, the Adventurers' Guild needs people like you very much! This money is rewarded by the guild. Miss Lisa said to Zhou Feng.
Indeed, at that time, if Zhou Feng had fled when he saw that there were many enemies, maybe he could have survived, but the boss of Musa and the coachman would definitely die there. However, this is not how high Zhou Feng's sense of honor is in the Adventurer's Guild, let alone for the reward of that one gold coin. No matter who it is, as long as Zhou Feng promises, he will do his best to protect him, which is an innate sense of responsibility.
"It's too much to praise, I was too angry when I entered the door just now, so my behavior was a little reckless, I hope you don't mind. Zhou Feng said to Miss Lisa.
Miss Lisa giggled, brushed the hair from her ears, and said to Zhou Feng: "It's okay, it's okay, I've seen people who are more reckless than you, and compared to them, you're good enough." It's a good thing to come back safely, can you tell me about the strength of those barbarian warriors? ”
Zhou Feng thought for a moment and said, "The leader of the barbarian clan is probably the strength of the peak of the Second Heavy Heaven, and the other subordinates are all First Heavy Heavens. "He's not quite sure.
Miss Lisa took out her quill and registered all this, put away the paper, and was about to say something, when several cavalry guards walked in.
"Commanders, what are you doing here? Our taxes have already been settled. Lisa, the lady at the counter, said loudly.
These cavalry guards were the ones Boss Musa and Zhou Feng met just now, and when they heard Lisa say this, they hurriedly said: "Miss Lisa, we are here to find Boss Musa and Zhou Feng, not to ask you for taxes." ”
The cavalry captain took a bag of gold coins to Zhou Feng and said to Zhou Feng: "Brother Zhou Feng, this money was exchanged for the ears of the barbarians in the City Lord's Mansion, a total of 60 gold coins, you count." ”
Zhou Feng didn't count the money, handed the money to the captain of the guard, and said to him: "It's not easy for a few brothers, you can take the money." ”
"How can this work, the brute soldiers were killed by Brother Zhou Feng, not only to remove the scourge for the civilians, but also to eliminate the enemy for us, I can't take this money. The cavalry captain refused in every possible way, but insisted on not accepting it.
Zhou Feng saw that the cavalry didn't want it, so he had to grab a handful of gold coins from the bag, ten or twenty of them, and stuffed them directly into the hands of the cavalrymen, and said, "I'll accept this money." But you can take these, and I'll ask my brothers to drink. ”
The cavalry captain still wanted to excuse himself, but seeing that a few of the soldiers had already taken the money in their hands, it was difficult to say anything, so he had to accept the money.
The soldiers chatted with them for a while about Rogue Town and went out.
"Woo......." Musa, a profiteer, couldn't help but cry out loud after hearing the tragedy in Rogue Town.
Lisa was comforting Boss Mousa in words.
Zhou Feng took two jugs of wine, opened the lid, handed a jug to Musa, and said nothing.
Moussa took the wine and drank it with a grunt, Zhou Feng accompanied him to drink all the time, two men, just like this, you and I drank one sip at a time, without words, but it was like a thousand.
Farewell to Boss Musa, it was already dusk, Zhou Feng should also leave to return to the inn, although he left a note for Wu Qianyu, but it was getting late, so he had to go back early.
After picking up the stored things from Lisa, folding the letter paper with the address written on it before Moussa was handed to him, and bidding farewell to the Adventurers' Guild, Zhou Feng slowly walked towards the Guqing Inn.
......
The residence of King De, the main hall.
The vermilion lacquered wooden pillars support the building, which is four or five meters high, and is surrounded by several screens with gold trim and tassels, red candles are placed on silver plates, and several maids gently light the candles, illuminating the hall with golden brilliance.
Directly north of the hall was a throne seated by a man in a purple robe embroidered with a golden python.
The man put his right hand on his cheek and closed his eyes and listened to the guzheng playing.
Under the throne are two rows of tables, each with six in each row, and behind each table are kneeling two courtiers, on the left are the twelve ministers of the German Palace, and on the right are the twelve military generals of the German Palace, all of whom are currently the red men of the German Palace.
In the middle of the table is a singer in a red dress, her slender hands playing beautiful music, and the sound of the guzheng is crisp and inspiring.
"Newspaper ........" a herald shouted and ran to the hall, kneeling in the doorway, holding a military newspaper in his hand.
"What's the matter, panicked, what a system!" called a civil servant on the left, apparently dissatisfied with the herald who interrupted the playing, and at the same time wanted to show off in front of his master.
"Counselor Wang, step aside, there is no military subsection, let him say!" The man in purple on the throne was not angry and arrogant.
"Rogge Town urgently reported that a suspected barbarian soldier invaded, bloodbathing Rogge Town, and there was no one among the more than 17,000 townspeople in Rogge Town........ There is no life left. The herald knelt on the ground and bowed his head, and reported loudly.
"What, Rogue has been wiped out by the barbarians!"
"There are more than 17,000 people in Rogue Town, just say no, it's gone!"
"Damn barbarian, please allow me to be the vanguard, and the ministers will arrest those miscellaneous pieces to meet you!"
"What a tragedy, are the barbarians coming?"
There was a lot of talk in the hall, but the man on the throne did not speak.
After a long time, he finally clenched his fists, and the strong internal force crushed the jade cup in his hand, and a strong king's domineering aura wrapped around him and spread out in all directions.
The hall was silent.
"Zhang Yulin, you call Kellow back to me. The man in the purple python robe said.
"Lord Wang, do you mean....... Summoned Kello back? He's still in Clearwater City to help fight the war. An old man with white eyebrows asked, apparently he was Zhang Yulin.
"Well, let the adjutant help him temporarily lead the expeditionary force, that madman who likes to kill, I need him now. The man in the purple python robe said lightly.
He slowly got up from his seat, looked around, called Zhang Yulin to his side, whispered a few words, and went out.
"According to the order of the king of De, the civil officials and military generals will listen to the order, from today onwards, the whole city of the king of De will be on guard, the nearby towns will be stationed with infantry, and the whole army will step up training and expand the army and buy horses, and in five months, the king of De will fight to the death with the barbarians!" Zhang Yulin shouted.
"No!" everyone in the hall replied in unison.
......
The words were divided into two ends, and here Zhou Feng left the adventurer branch and came to the door of the Guqing Inn.
Wu Qianyu was sitting on the first floor of the Guqing Inn, the food on the table didn't move a few bites, obviously she didn't have any appetite, Wu Qianyu looked at the door, her eyes were dull, she didn't know what she was thinking, so that Zhou Feng didn't react when she approached her.
"Qianyu, why don't you eat?" Zhou Feng said in a low voice and walked to the table.
Wu Qianyu was frightened and said, "Didn't you say that you came back early, and you didn't see a trace for a day." ”
Zhou Feng asked the shopkeeper to add a pair of bowls of chopsticks and rice, and told her everything about today.
After listening to Wu Qianyu, she complained: "Okay, you don't take me with you when you go out to make money!"
"I don't know if it's dangerous, I want to take you with me later. You see, this first mission almost didn't come back. Zhou Feng said.
"You're embarrassed to say, if you can't come back, what will I do? Are you going to go to that adventurer's guild tomorrow?" asked Wu Qianyu.
"It should be, today's mission was directly judged to be silver-level, and the guild said that I could give birth to a silver medal by doing a few more bronze-level tasks. Zhou Feng responded.
Wu Qianyu pouted and said, "You, you still have to go, it's really hard! Then you have to take me, I also want to go out to see, it's going to be moldy here." ”
Zhou Feng was noncommittal and said, "It's very dangerous, let's go." After speaking, he took out more than 20 gold coins earned today and handed them to Wu Qianyu, saying, "This is half of today's reward, take it." ”
Wu Qian didn't want money, she insisted on going, and Zhou Feng could only agree in the end.
After eating and returning to the house, Zhou Feng suddenly felt a dull pain in his chest, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.
Wu Qianyu was taken aback by this sudden change, and hurriedly helped Zhou Feng to the bed.
Zhou Feng was lying on the bed, and Wu Qianyu wiped his mouth with trembling.
Zhou Feng said: "It's okay, don't worry." It should have been too heavy to be shaken during the day, and now my chest hurts a little. ”
"You're vomiting blood, and you still say it's okay, is this money stained with your blood really easy to earn! Wu Qianyu slapped Zhou Feng, Zhou Feng coughed, she hurriedly stopped, her eyes were full of self-blame.
"Okay, but it's so late today, it's probably closed, let's go tomorrow. Zhou Feng sat up, it was not as serious as Wu Qianyu imagined, but it should have been internally injured.
"If only I could heal spells, hey, I'll go get you water and wash your feet. Wu Qianyu got up.
"I didn't expect you to be so well-behaved!" Zhou Feng teased.
"I'm afraid that if you die, there will be no one to protect me. Wu Qianyu did not show weakness.
At the end of the author, there is a poem that says: "Xijing shines on the soil and smokes, and eight thousand children carry the coffin; ”
