Chapter 28: Harsh Conditions

Outside Wildfire Town, on a high slope, William rode his horse. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

He was condescending and looked out. As far as the eye can see, white military tents like yurts are set up on the plain in an orderly manner.

A cursory sweep is probably as many as 10,000, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers.

Although the scale is large, the scene is spectacular, but there is no chaos. Some of these tents are far apart, others are very close.

In each military tent area, the flags erected and the drawings are also different, and they are distinct.

Obviously, these armies are all managed by different leaders, each in charge of their own affairs, and they do not interfere with each other.

William watched for a moment, and as soon as he pulled the reins, the steed immediately galloped across the plain to the nearest barracks.

William was immediately spotted by a patrol of soldiers.

"I'm here to find someone. Excuse me, where is Sika?" William immediately asked when he saw the patrol soldiers coming forward.

"Schika, that guy is from General Carlo's side, not here,. ”

The patrol's leader's tone was full of malice.

William didn't take it to heart either. He rode his horse to another barracks, and finally asked for the news he wanted.

"Schika? You're talking about General Carlo's nephew, and he's in the middle barracks. If you go up the airway next to you, you will see a banner in the shape of an eagle, and the barracks is where General Carlo is, so go there and ask. ”

William thanked the man, turned around, and according to the route that the man said, he soon came to the position of the camp of the Chinese army.

In the area on the left, the flag is depicted with a green leaf. In the area on the right, the flag depicts an eagle.

When he saw the pattern of the green leaf flag, William was stunned, and something came to his mind, but he didn't think much about it.

Turning the horse's head, William headed to the right.

This time, William was also discovered by a patrol soldier who stepped forward and interrogated William: "What are you doing?

"I've got something to look for. William explained.

The soldiers were immediately cleared.

"You come with me, and I'll take you. ”

The leader stepped forward and said to William. At the end, he shouted at several patrol soldiers behind him: "Damn, don't be lazy for Lao Tzu." Cheer up and continue to patrol! Let the group of souls on the other side see that our General Carlo's soldiers are no worse than those souls!"

.........

Ten minutes later.

In a large tent, William met the young officer again. And it's not just him, William also meets an unexpected person, General Carlo!

This high-ranking and powerful General Carlo, who has thousands of private soldiers in his hands, is a middle-aged man in the golden period of his honest life.

He was born extremely white, with a medium to thin body, a pair of sharp eyes, and looked at William a few times without any scruples, which made William quite unhappy in his heart.

After some introductions, General Carlo sat aside with a smile and did not say a word.

"It's not even noon, and you're here. Have you figured out how to solve yesterday's incident?" the young officer, Schika, glanced at William and got straight to the point.

William Chen pleaded and said: "Yesterday's incident was because I used people inappropriately. I have prepared 6,000 gold coins to make amends to some of your soldiers. ”

After a pause, William continued to smile and said, "In addition, my Lester family has prepared an additional 20,000 gold coins......

The next words, William didn't say, but Schika is not a fool and can definitely understand.

In the final analysis, to put it bluntly this time, William's measures are the same as Crean's, with the same idea of dispersing money.

It's just that Crean took out hundreds of gold coins, while William took out 26,000 gold coins, and the two were not at the same level at all.

If Sika accepts the gold coin, then this matter will be over, although William is a little unhappy in his heart, but this is already the best way to spend money to eliminate the disaster.

Behind the Sika is the behemoth General Carlo, a small Lester family, even if they are rich, they can't afford to offend others.

However, what William never expected was that Xika did not accept the gold coins, but turned his face and said ruthlessly: "More than 20,000 gold coins, I want to end this matter? What do you want to eat? What we want is justice!"

William was stunned.

At this time, General Carlo waved his hand and comforted Sika: "Eh! It's a trivial matter, since people have shown sincerity, I think this matter is settled, Sika, you can't accept the gold coins given by people." ”

"Sincerity? I don't see any sincerity on his part!"

Sika sneered, "If it's really sincere, then well, I have a contract here, and if you sign it, I won't pursue this matter." ”

Sika said, pulling out a thick contract.

William took it, and the pleasant look on his face disappeared, replaced by a cold look.

The content of this contract is very simple, it is to unconditionally transfer the beer business of the Lester family, and then hand over the recipe for brewing beer, brewing process and so on.

At the end of the contract, Sika also took out 10,000 gold coins in his personal name as compensation for the Lester family.

10,000 gold coins to get the beer business of the Lester family?

"William, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that this kid Schika has really been blamed by me since he was a child. Alas, speaking of which, my brother left early, leaving behind such a child as Sika. ”

General Carlo was full of emotion, and said with some embarrassment on his face.

Looking at General Carlo's white face of extreme hypocrisy, William understood.

These two people are the ones who sing double reeds. One with a red face and one with a white face, this Carlo seems to be helping himself on the surface, but in fact, he is basically the same as the young officer Sika.

At that point, William was almost certain that the 'smashing of the tavern' that had happened last night was a malicious trap against the Lester family.

Even this contract has been prepared for a long time.

If this matter is replaced by someone else, nine times out of ten they will obediently sign a contract to offer the beer business and seek perfection.

Unfortunately, William was not willing to compromise.

He glanced at Sika coldly, although he wanted to turn his face, but when he thought of his father Viscount Bazado, who was bent on Jackie Chan, and when he thought of the Lester family, which was just starting out, as well as the old butler Bill, the upright and brave captain Dodora, the young and kind Kova, and the not bad nature of Master Rhine......

These people are all tied to the Lester family's cart, how can William refuse?

"The matter...... The Lester family needs to be considered!"

Taking a deep breath, William said word by word. His chest was like a raging wave, and his blood was unsettled.

Sika sneered and was about to speak, but General Carlo interrupted: "Enough Sika, don't be too unreasonable." The stakes are high, and it's normal for people to think about it. ”

As he spoke, General Carlo showed a hint of kindness: "William, you go back and tell Viscount Bazado first, let him think about it, and say hello to him on my behalf." ”

William tried to calm the anger in his heart, put down the contract in his hand, and turned to leave.

"Don't forget, you'll be given three more days at most. You can't afford to delay our army returning to the imperial capital to report on their work!"

"That's enough, Sika. You're acting so unreasonable, what should I say about you!" Behind William came the reproach of General Carlo.

William sneered in his heart and strode away.

lest you hear one more sentence and pollute your ears.

Leaving the barracks and heading back to Wildfiretown, William rode his horse to the outside of the Lester Family Tavern.

The door to the tavern, which was supposed to open only at noon, was opened by William.

He sat down at an unmanned drinking table and directly asked the tavern staff to serve several of beer, without using a beer glass, and poured a few sips into the beer bottle.

Soon, Crean arrived when he heard the news.

He sat in front of William, poured a glass of beer with him, and brought it to William, looking worried: "Young Master William, has something happened?"

"No, it's just a bad mood. William frowned, and explained without being salty.

Kerry sighed.

He heard from the tavern staff that William seemed to have just returned from the barracks outside Wildfire, that something must have happened, and that Crean couldn't do anything about it, as much as he wanted to help.

Something that even his young master, William Rest, couldn't solve, let alone him.

William drank it all in one gulp, and Crean poured it cup by cup.

"Young master, I'll get drunk if I drink again. Several more beers were poured in quick succession, and Crean worried.

William didn't listen.

Since he crossed over, he had never been so aggrieved.

Every time William thought about the troubles that happened today, he felt a little more anger in his heart.

It's tolerable, it's unbearable!

Uncle can bear it, aunt can't bear it!
