The first thing he did when he arrived at Zhuang was to count the number of people, and the result was that except for those soldiers who died when the battle of escape began, the whole team was reduced to one hundred and forty-nine, and the rest all arrived safely.

After deducting the number of soldiers killed, the number of victorious arrivals totaled 32,461.

In other words, the population of Orson Manor suddenly increased by more than 30,000, which immediately made everyone busy. Now the conditions in the village are not good, and after some hard work, this large number of people finally ate fresh food and drank hot soup.

Hawke took the list of fallen soldiers and was silent. Bruce and Xu Zheng knew that he was uncomfortable, so they didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

"One hundred and forty-nine are gone. Hawke whispered, his gaze fixed on the list. Among these names, there are a few that he is even familiar with. The Silver Arrow Warriors, who were alive a few days ago and could walk, run and jump, suddenly disappeared, and they would not come back to life, they would no longer salute themselves, and their voices would never be heard again, which made people feel great pain and loss, and their hearts were like being held tightly by their hands, and they were in pain and suffocation.

Silently rolling up the list and putting it in his arms, Hawke said, "I'm most afraid of hearing people cry." One hundred and forty-nine lives are missing, and I don't know how many more people will be added who cry quietly in the night. These soldiers are other people's children, brothers, lovers, husbands, or fathers. The outcome of the fight between me and Sean should not be borne by them. ”

"Hoho. Xu Zheng looked at Hawke and didn't know what to say for a while.

"It's a terrible feeling. Hawke said: "Others have died because of you, but you yourself are still alive and well, just like ...... It's like life is stolen. ”

"Hoho. Xu Zheng began to sigh. He understood Hawke's mentality, and during the war, the data of casualties was always entered into his database. I can't always treat them as numbers. When each number represents a place of life, this number is given weight, and it is overwhelming to weigh on the bottom of the heart.

Bruce looked down at his fingers, never before was he glad they were still clean and not stained with blood. Thinking of one hundred and forty-nine lives dying under his eyes, Bruce didn't think he could afford it.

The atmosphere is really low-pressure, and it is heavy in my heart. Xu Zheng hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't think about it, in addition to these one hundred and forty-nine martyred soldiers, there are more people here, isn't it? Not a single one died in vain, they protected their companions with their lives. Someone else would do the same. Besides, everybody will always remember them, right?"

"Really?" Hawke's eyes flashed with uncertainty: "Time always dilutes everything, and some things that should not be forgotten are forgotten." In a few years, or a dozen years, a few decades from now, who will remember that these 149 soldiers have protected others with their lives?"

"Will you forget?" Xu Zheng asked rhetorically.

"I won't. I can't forget. Hawke shook his head and said, "But others will." They should not be forgotten. ”

Xu Zheng's eyes lit up: "Then don't let people forget!"

"What is going to be done?" Hawke was also in good spirits.

Xu Zheng punched his right hand to his left palm: "Look at me!"

Hawke finally smiled faintly and said, "Okay." I believe you. Please give the soldiers the rest and honor they deserve. ”

Xu Zheng nodded and began to plan in his heart.

The next step is to take stock of other things, and this large force will be dissolved into Orson Manor, forming a situation where the structure of Orson Manor is reorganized, and everything will have to be re-examined.

After a while, both Ruthor and Reeves arrived.

The No. 1 butler of Orson Manor was visibly excited, his eyes shining and his cheeks flushed.

"Hey!" he said, "Guess what the results of my count with Lord Reeves were?"

"Reeves. You don't have to call an adult. Reeves laughed.

Lu Se slapped a piece of paper in front of Xu Zheng: "Look." ”

Xu Zheng picked it up and looked at it, and immediately gasped. He handed it to Hawke with a black line on his face.

Hawke glanced at it, the expression on his face was worse than Xu Zheng's, and he frowned: "Uncle Reeves, how much did you dig up Virgil's family?"

Reeves laughed, "Who said it was Virgil's family, now it's ours! I thought I could use it to recruit troops, or wait until you failed to make a comeback...... Now, it's a better choice to build a home and make a fortune. Hahaha!"

Bruce took the note from Hawke's hand, only glanced at it, and gasped like Xu Zheng, and whispered, "Three hundred and seventy-seven gold bricks are made of gold." 4,610,000 gold coins. Eighty-eight fine sapphires and one hundred and twenty-five fine diamonds. 314 fine emerald gemstones, fine ...... No wonder it's stuffed with fourteen balloons!well, and even the scepters of previous emperors......"

Reeves shrugged: "That thing is worthless, in order for people to be able to lift it, it is the skin of the gold bag, and inside it is actually wood." ^^^UC eBook^Premiere^^ I mainly fancy the gems set on it. ”

Bruce mentally estimated the value of what they added together, a conservative estimate...... They are worth the income of the people of the country who do not eat or drink, but only earn and spend a total of three years.

Three-year ...... You have to eat or drink without eating, drinking, earning and not spending!

This Reeves is so tough! He can do such an earth-shattering thing quietly!

"Uncle......" Hawke was speechless, "it's a miracle you didn't bring Virgil down." ”

"Miracle?" Reeves sneered, "There's your mother's family's belongings in here. It took me twenty years to get my hands on the rest. Do you really think it's easy? If I don't do it, others will do the same, and instead of letting other people divide it up, it's better for me to get it and gather it together. Now that there are more than 30,000 mouths to eat, how many years do you think that money will cost?"

Ruther said, "Everyone, money is not for consumption. The biggest use of money is to make money! Let money make money, build here, and make more money out of money, that is the right way!"

"Reasonable!" Xu Zheng praised.

"It seems like a lot of money, but I'll tell you, Orson Manor is destitute right now, and you have to keep stuffing money into it to build it, especially when you're starting out," said Ruther. It's a bottomless pit, and you can cram it in as much as you can. Thankfully, we have a lot of start-up capital, and as long as we get started, no, it's a good start, and everything in Orson Manor can be put to work, and we can say goodbye to poverty! Thieves everywhere else are petty thieves, and Reeves has been stealing Virgil's treasury for twenty years!Oh, Lord Reeves, please don't be modest, you are well deserved, I admire you for ......"

Xu Zheng quickly answered: "Just like the river of Tuoliaodar that comes in the flood season, it is inexhaustible and endless! It is like the vastness of the endless sea, inexhaustible, endless, endless!"

Everyone froze, then laughed. Bruce leaned back and laughed, and exclaimed, "What a fart, what a fart, what a sycophant!" You should take that to your Uncle Dane, and as soon as he was pleased, he might immediately give you the throne to sit on. ”

Xu Zheng suddenly stretched his face: "Who likes to sit in that broken position?"

The crowd laughed and laughed and congratulated Reeves, and enthusiastically praised the most powerful thief in history---- whose great achievement was to guard a treasury and move it by all means for twenty years! Not only was it not caught, but it was also taken away from it for nearly three years!

Being a thief can be so ruthless that it is enough for all the people of Aris to kiss his toes and build a statue to make him up.

"Awards, awards. It's like having a huge loaf of bread the size of a mountain in front of me, and I only take a small bite at a time. Twenty years of biting it down, finally a little gain. Reeves bowed forward with a comical royal salute, the expression on his face very modest.

Is this called a bit of a gain?

The crowd couldn't stop laughing.

Hawke couldn't stop laughing: "Uncle, you are indeed amazing!"

"It's ok. What annoys me the most is that the crown isn't in it, otherwise I'd have taken it with me. ”

"I'm useless with that thing right now. It has lost its appeal and meaning to me. Keep it for Sean, I just hope it doesn't bend his neck. ”

"Definitely, because he likes to wear it to show off his power and status. The crown is too heavy, and wearing it for a long time will cause cervical spine protrusion and induce various cervical spine diseases. "Really?"

"Really. You see, the kings of the past had a lot of neck problems in their old age, right? That is, the crown was too heavy, and everyone liked to wear it and was reluctant to take it down. ”

Bruce and Hawke think about it, it seems like there really is such a thing. Both of them laughed out loud and said, "It seems that that thing is indeed a source of trouble, and it is better not to wear it." ”

"For the sake of my health, it seems that it is only wise to give up the throne!" said Hawke, with a timid expression on his face for the rest of his life. From contention to disappointment, to giving up, and finally to being able to tease and ridicule, Hawke really came out of the royal shadow, regained his spirit, and was no longer a slave to the throne.

Reeves looked at Hawke with satisfaction, and teased him casually, "What's so great about the throne? It can compare to my tough uncle? It can compare to the vast world of Orson Manor, unless you like to be bent your neck." ”

"It's still free. This living sin is left to Sean. Hawke: "I like to be with my uncle, bullhead, and friends. Build a home from scratch!"

"That's it!" Reeves said, "What a pity that such a beautiful neck is bent." A handsome face with a bent neck is really insulting to the face that my sister gave you. ”
