For the sake of a woman, the crown prince left his army behind and rushed back to the imperial capital alone.

The people are all talking about this romantic story, and the tavern owner is also foaming at the mouth when he tells the inside story.

It turned out that the untouchable robber Chang Le, when he was pretending to be a civilian to study at the military academy, deceived Fanny, the most beautiful in the school, and it is said that he also got married, and there was undue intimacy.

And when the crown prince went to the military academy to preside over the graduation ceremony, he also fell in love with Fanny at first sight, and did not care about the other party's past, and worked hard to pursue it from then on.

During the war, Fanny was appointed by the crown prince as a staff officer and joined the Westward Legion to follow her.

In the process, Fanny witnessed the heroism of the crown prince, was impressed by the wisdom of the crown prince, and in the final battle of Cessnek, in the face of the stray arrow, the crown prince sacrificed his life to save him, which deeply moved the beautiful girl, and finally chose to be with the crown prince.

And the despicable and cowardly untouchables Chang Le, who fornicated with the enemy army during the war in an attempt to frame the crown prince, betrayed the empire after the war, occupied Fort Stanley and became a robber.

When the tavern owner said this, his face turned red, and he stretched out his hand and pointed outside, and shouted:

"Those untouchables in the outer city, I heard that they are Chang Le's subordinates, who came to take refuge during the war, and now they rely on the master to protect all residents equally, and dare to sit on an equal footing with commoners and nobles, and they are really as despicable as their leaders!"

The beautiful wine girl suddenly interjected:

"I've heard that the Rogue Fury, who was very active before the war, is the pseudonym of the untouchable Chang Le, is this true?"

The boss snorted:

"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, a robber is a robber, and he can still be a good person! A thief? Phew! Whose money isn't hard-earned, why should a rich nobleman let him rob it?"

Chang Le couldn't hold back any longer, there was no good mood left just now, and the wine glass in his hand was heavy:

"Straight down, the crown prince is gone, what about the army, going to fight Fort Stanley?"

He now finally knows how the common people talk about his emotional disputes with the crown prince and Fanny.

The tavernkeeper's smear is also reasonable, and the other side represents the opinion of the common people, who want to believe that the noble crown prince is a war hero, and the untouchable Chang Le is a vile and cowardly speculator, although the opposite is true.

Those subjective comments are like farts, and Changle only wants to listen to the basic facts.

The tavern owner was displeased, with a slightly confused expression on his face, and continued to tell the rest of the story with a smiling face.

In this crusade against Changle, Fanny was reluctant to fight against her old lover after all, so she didn't say hello to anyone and left the team alone, reportedly leaving a resignation report and going home for a while.

Because of this, the crown prince hesitated with his army, and finally held back for fear of annoying Fanny.

"He's just afraid of losing the battle!" Chang Le couldn't help but sneer.

"Don't say that!" The escort girl beside her shook Chang Le's arm, "The crown prince is a great hero, he defeated more than 100,000 enemy troops in the Battle of Sessnek, how can he be afraid of a robber?"

Chang Le snorted contemptuously:

"How did I hear that Chang Le defeated more than 100,000 enemy troops with more than 20,000 people, and the crown prince finally arrived at the scene and posed as a winner?"

Hearing this, the tavern keeper and the escort girl looked at each other, and then laughed at the same time:

"What a humorous you are, sir!"

"Go on, don't talk about anything else!" Chang Le decided not to entangle anymore, drank the wine in his hand, and suddenly pushed the empty cup in front of the boss, signaling to refill the cup.

The boss glanced at Chang Le in surprise again, he didn't understand his emotions, poured him wine, and paused before continuing:

"Needless to say, the crown prince left suddenly, and the troops had to stay in place and wait, and that despicable bandit took the opportunity to attack at night, and the empire's army of more than 10,000 people ...... in a blink of an eye"

Speaking of this, he pinched his five fingers and raised them into the air, and then suddenly opened them, making a soap bubble bursting motion:

"Poof!"

"Annihilated?" Chang Le asked.

"A few people died, and the whole army was scattered when the robber cavalry rushed and roared! I bet that if the crown prince hadn't left, this would never have happened!"

"Hmm!" the girl nodded as well, "If the crown prince personally commands the army, he will definitely not lose!"

Chang Le snorted coldly, not to mention the waste of the crown prince, even if he was commanded by Marshal Fontaine, those poorly trained peasants would not be able to withstand the cavalry assault of the "Tyrannosaurus" Lola.

Lola and Skinny Monkey obviously didn't want to kill too much and save face for the Empire, otherwise the light cavalry would pursue and crush the marchers, and it would be a one-sided massacre, and few of the entire Seventh Division would survive.

After all, Lola was originally scheduled to be the commander of the Seventh Division, and although she didn't take office for a day, she still had a little delicate feelings for this unit.

In any case, Fort Stanley was in danger of crushing twice as many raiders in one fell swoop, and according to the boss, the Empire never launched a new offensive again.

The tavern girl held Chang Le in one hand and held her cheeks in the other, and suddenly sighed after a while:

"You know what? The crown prince rushed to Fanny's door, and Fanny cried on the spot, she was such a lucky woman! The crown prince said, 'I don't want an army, I don't want a victory, I don't even want the throne, I just want you!'"

What is Fanny crying about? Is it crying that the crown prince has lost the battle and lost the army, and there will be problems with the inheritance, right? If he really loses the throne, how can Fanny still be the queen?

Every time he heard about the crown prince's "romantic" words and deeds, Chang Le would get goosebumps, and he couldn't help but sarcastic, and this time was no exception, but he still couldn't help but say nothing, and responded lightly:

"People who have money and leisure can play romance, but we poor people don't have that blessing. ”

"Are you poor?" the girl grinned and held up the gold coin he had given, "at least to me, His Majesty the Emperor is lovelier than the Crown Prince. ”

She was referring to the portrait of the emperor on the gold coin, and it was not known whether it was Robert V or the first emperor Bruno III.

Chang Le took out another gold coin and handed it to her:

"Give you another emperor, let me be quiet for a while. ”

The girl took the gold coin and was stunned for a moment, but threw the gold coin back in front of Chang Le:

"If you don't like me, if you want me to get out, just say it, why do you give back the gold coins?

"Don't even give money, you're the only problem!"

"I'm sick too, we're all sick!" the girl straightened her face, and her coquettish demeanor at first disappeared, "I can make you happy, you can give me money, fair trade and don't owe each other, since you are unhappy, I don't want money!"

After the girl finished speaking, she threw the gold coins she had collected earlier to Chang Le, jumped off the barstool and turned to leave.

"Hey!" Chang Le didn't take the gold coin, let it roll to the ground, and instead had a smile on his face, "What's your name?"

"Betty!" the girl turned around, still cold.

At this moment, Chang Le suddenly felt a little in a trance, this girl's expression became cold, and without the flattery just now, it made him feel familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Good, Betty. He finally smiled and patted the seat next to him, "Now I like you, sit!"

Betty came back with a straight face, but soon couldn't help but smile, pursed her lips, and sent her red lips to Chang Le's eyes:

"Prove you like me!"

Chang Le smiled:

"Be friends, you don't have to kiss, right?"

Betty blinked, then turned her head and leaned her cheek over instead.

There was no excuse at this time, Chang Le had to kiss her on the face.

Then he pressed his finger on the gold coin on the table and pushed it back in front of Betty.

Betty shook her head, blocked the gold coin back with the bottom of the cup, then raised her glass and drank wildly, wiped her mouth after drinking, and patted Chang Le on the shoulder:

"Friend, huh?"

She took out a few silver coins from the money bag around her waist and slapped them on the table, beckoning to the boss:

"I'll pay the bill, I'll invite my friends to drink!"

The boss pursed his lips and poured a full amount for the two of them, and at the same time approached Chang Le and whispered:

"Betty, this girl is very righteous, but she is very well-behaved if she doesn't drink, and she loves to beat people if she drinks too much, you be careful!"

"Hahaha!" Betty ripped the bow off her hair and shook her head vigorously, her long brown hair suddenly scattered in all directions, "I don't hit friends, I only beat bad guys!"

Chang Le couldn't think of any suitable pseudonym for a while, so he only smiled:

"You can't remember if you drank too much, so I'll tell you when I'm sober. ”

Betty frowned, and was about to speak, when she heard the boss whisper:

"Hell!"

It turned out that a new customer sat at the counter and looked at the boss with a little restraint.

Although the man was polite, he was very peculiar in his dress and appearance, and he was a pariah!

The boss couldn't hide his disgust, took another tattered porcelain bowl from under the counter, poured wine and pushed it to the untouchables, and then immediately retreated and returned to Changle and the others.

"Why did you give him a bowl?" Chang Le asked with a frown.

"For untouchables! If you give him a cup from an ordinary guest, will he not be able to do business in the future?"

This sentence is like a bucket of cold water, waking up the slightly drunk Chang Le. I have long stopped wearing untouchable clothes, coupled with a high nose bridge and big eyes, and the characteristics of untouchables are not obvious, so I have not "enjoyed" untouchable treatment for a long time.

However, the scene in front of him suddenly made him realize that no matter how much he ordered that "everyone is equal", and that the system allowed the untouchables to own land and have the right to enter any place of consumption, in the hearts of the people, "equality" did not exist at all.

The customers around them looked at the untouchable, their eyes also full of disgust, as if they had seen something disgusting.

Betty only glanced at him without looking too much, and got up silently from Changle's right side and sat down on his left side in order to be far away from the untouchable.

This is not an overt bullying, but an invisible spiritual oppression, Chang Le can't do anything about it, he can only grab the wine glass and drink it all, and then another glass.

"Hey, friend. Betty smiled and leaned over, "Do you have a wife?"

Chang Le didn't say anything, only shook his head.

"Is there a place to stay?"

Chang Le continued to shake his head silently.

"Then do you usually venture back and stay in a hotel?" Betty propped her elbow on the counter and put her cheek on her cheek, looking at him with a smile, "Why don't you go to my house, you bear half of the rent, I will cook and wash for you, and don't interfere with each other's private affairs, how about it?"

Chang Le smiled:

"Sounds good, but is the rent expensive?"

"I live in the inner city, a great small building, and a yard, but the rent is higher, ten gold coins a month, you help me pay five, and the accommodation is much more comfortable than a hotel. ”

Chang Le still shook his head with a wry smile:

"In the same room with beautiful women, I definitely can't control myself. ”

"I have a lot of rooms, not in the same room. Besides, what if you can't control yourself? As long as you're happy, I'm happy, take off your clothes and be a lover, and when you lift your pants, you're still a friend. ”

Betty finished smiling, then turned to the boss and shouted:

"Wine!"

Chang Le frowned and asked:

"You and the man...... That one...... Have you stayed together?"

"One thing to say, if I do this, I am not a pure woman. She smiled drunkenly, "But I've never brought a man home, no boyfriend, no husband, let alone a husband, let you go to live, in fact, I'm very nervous, will you bully me?"

"Okay, then it's a deal! Go to your house!"

Chang Le pressed on the other party's hand and stroked it, and then leaned close to her ear, and added softly:

"By the way, I'm a pariah!"

"What?"

Betty's expression changed drastically:

"How could you be ......"

Of course, the matter of "cohabitation" came to an end, Chang Le got up with a sneer, drank all the residual wine, and threw a gold coin to the boss:

"I'll still ask for the wine, don't take her money. ”

At this moment, the boss suddenly yelled:

"Catch him!"

Of course, he was not yelling at Changle, but a pariahish child.

The kid was dressed in rags, and just now he stretched out his hand as if he was begging, and was "scorned, sneered" by the boss.

"The gold is not yours!"

"The gold is on the ground, and no one wants it!" the child shrieked in defense.

It was the gold coin that Betty threw back to Changle just now, which fell to the ground and rolled out a few meters, and the other drinkers didn't notice it, but it was picked up by the little beggar.

A strong man drinking at a nearby table grabbed a child by the collar:

"How dare you steal money!

"I didn't steal! I didn't steal!" cried the child, crying.

"These untouchables are getting worse and worse! The town's dungeons are full of untouchable criminals!"

The boss gritted his teeth and roared, and the people around him were also talking.

The strong man stretched out his hand to grab the gold coin, but was bitten on the wrist by the little beggar, and now the matter was even bigger, and the strong man slapped it, and several onlookers also had to do it.

"Don't fight! he's still a kid!"

Betty screamed, and with the help of the strength of the wine, she pushed the few people around the child away, and kicked the strong man in the leg, and then lifted her skirt and squatted in front of the child, just wanted to speak, and frowned and pinched her nose.

The child stinks!

Changle has a good nose and has long analyzed the odor component, which is the smell of the garbage heap!

Despite this, Betty also proved that she had a good heart, Chang Le looked at her and nodded, and then squatted in front of the child as well, and said with a smile:

"It's not a problem to pick up the money, the money is mine, and I'll give it to you. But why are you begging? Where are your parents?"

The boy replied that his parents had died of illness and that he had been begging in Kassel, but that he had heard that Paradise was a paradise for the untouchables, and that everyone could be fed and clothed, so he followed a group of untouchables on the road to the town in pursuit of a better life.

Unexpectedly, when he came here, he still had no food, and when winter came, he was still wearing single clothes, and he would freeze to death sooner or later if he begged outside, so he had to enter the tavern, so that there was a fireplace to keep warm.

The boy was strong enough to grow up in the untouchables of Kassel, where he saw many children starving to death after losing their parents.

The boss snorted coldly behind his back:

"Nonsense! If you have a job, you have food! These untouchables are illiterate and have no skills, Paradise Town is not a charity church!"

"He can at least brush the dishes and sweep the floor!" Chang Le glared back at the boss.

"Who else will bring the dishes washed by the untouchables to eat?" replied the boss coldly, "or you should open a restaurant for the untouchables, and serve the untouchables as long as they have the money to pay you!"

It is cruel to say, but it is true, as long as the inequality in the hearts of the public does not disappear, the system alone will not achieve true equality.

If a pariah opens a restaurant, even if it is open to all customers, which commoner or nobleman will eat it?

"This is my city, this is the ideal paradise that I have built?"

Chang Le gritted his teeth, was silent, wiped the dirt off the child's face with his fingers, and found that he was still a very delicate child, about ten years old, his eyes were smart, and he was very cute.

He leaned into the child's ear and asked in a low voice:

"Honestly, have you ever stolen money other than begging?"

"No!" the child was very firm, "only bad boys steal money!"

"Okay!" Chang Le patted him on the cheek, got up and grabbed his little hand, "I'll take you to a place where you can eat." ”

Under the complicated gaze of everyone, Chang Le left the tavern with the child and walked towards the inner city.

Along the way, I saw many untouchable beggars, shivering in the cold wind, stretching out their hands and begging in the crowd.

Once they get too close to the civilians and are suspected of being "dirty", they will inevitably be kicked and beaten and insulted, and the beaten untouchables dare not resist in the slightest, and the mercenaries who maintain order will also turn a blind eye.

Chang Le couldn't help but sigh again:

"Is this my Paradise Town? Is this what Paradise is called?"
