Chapter 175. Act III, East and West Lentinium

Do you think that after the catastrophe, there will be great blessings, and your girlfriend will be gentle and considerate, and from then on she will walk to the pinnacle of life and enjoy a lifetime of happiness?

No, you're in trouble.

Zhou Jinru hasn't figured out how to deal with Chen yet, there is absolutely innocence between him and Shuangxing, only the grace of saving his life and the grace of a meal, and there is absolutely nothing else.

But these answers did not convince Chen Xin, who was standing on the steps, and she looked at the man condescendingly: "Zhou, what I am dissatisfied with is that you participated in the actions of the Jacobins, you know that it is very dangerous. ”

Before Zhou Jinru could speak, Yelena on the side couldn't help but say: "What is Zhou willing to do, that is his freedom, even if you are his lover, you can control his life?" ”

Chen didn't react for a while, and when she figured out what was going on, she suddenly became angry, you said it didn't matter, why did I just say a word, this woman just said three sentences?

"Can you be quiet?!"

Zhou Jinru really couldn't stand the chatter of two women in his ear, especially when both sides could stand their ground, this kind of quarrel could be noisy until the end of the world.

"I'm your girlfriend, and you won't help me?!"

Chen stared, she stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Jinru's arm hard, looking at Yelena with an expression that you are an outsider.

Yelena was dumbfounded, how could she have a chance to fight back, so she lowered her head aggrievedly.

Xingxiong, who had watched a good play, took out a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, and unexpectedly there was a Pocky in it, she took out one and put it to her mouth, and quipped: "Zhou, what kind of expression do you have, this is a happy trouble." ”

is still happy, Chen will be dumbfounded when he stabs him, in reality Chen can't do this, but here, she is not easy to mess with.

It felt really good to be held by Chen, Zhou Jinru was a little reluctant, and finally pulled out his hand and explained: "At that time, the situation was very complicated, the faction's operation failed, it seems that someone guessed the rescue operation, and the people we want to save were transferred out of Voller Prison in advance. ”

Zhou Jinru was referring to Yelena's father, Dr. Vassim.

"No, Dr. Vasim has been rescued and has regained his place in the faction, and is currently the number three man in the faction, at the top of the royal bounty list."

Zhou Jinru heard Xingxiong say this, and immediately turned his head to look at Yelena, this girl had never told him these words.

Yelena turned her head sideways, her eyes didn't dare to meet Zhou Jinru, and her voice was extremely low: "He is a stubborn person, and we are no longer a father-daughter relationship." ”

Family conflicts, daughter running away from home?

Zhou Jinru immediately thought of such a plot in his mind, but it seems that the relationship between Yelena and Vasim is not just a stubborn father and a runaway daughter.

"If nothing else, Miss Yelena is actually Vasim's heir?"

Yelena looked up suddenly, and the star bear just looked at her calmly.

At this moment, Shi Huaiya's voice came from the second floor of the bungalow, and the little tiger standing by the balcony railing shouted in a Victorian aristocratic tone: "Everyone, you are going to spend a cold night at the door?" ”

Chen snorted, "We can go to my rental house, it's just as warm and safe there." ”

Xingxiong said lightly: "Chen, your rental house has been monitored for a long time, and now taking Zhou back is tantamount to throwing yourself into the net." ”

"I ......"

"This is the safest place, you have nowhere to go but here."

The eldest sister from Dongguo didn't leave any affection, and directly said it clearly.

Yelena hesitated, "Then can I leave?" ”

"Please, if you go out of this door, who will it fall into, and what kind of fate will it be, it's not my eldest lady's business, after all, there are many people who want to deal with Vasim now, but your legs are on your body, and you are free."

Then there is no way, Zhou Jinru does not resist Shi Huaiya's kindness, it is better to stay in a safe place than to run around.

He was given the best care of, not only did he change into clean clothes, but he was also invited to the living room for a sumptuous dinner.

"Zhou, are you eating so fast?"

When Zhou Jinru finished destroying the food on his plate, Shi Huaiya started a little bit, Chen and Xingxiong had similar speeds, Yelena was slower, she ate very seriously and carefully, and there was not even a little food residue left.

Zhou Jinru clasped his hands weakly, rubbed them gently, and said with a smile: "In those things I experienced, the speed of eating affects the next work, and we are more willing to squeeze out this time for work than to eat." ”

That's right, the person he's talking about is Kelsey.

"But then you won't be able to enjoy the food."

Holding a knife and fork in her hand, Shi Huaiya carefully cut off a piece of meat and put it in her mouth, chewing it slowly with an expression of enjoyment.

In Zhou Jinru's eyes, this style is an aristocratic style, but it does not conform to the values of an outstanding young man in the new era, and he really has no way to serve it like this when eating.

Yelena kept her head down, not looking at anyone, she was immersed in her own world.

"Guy who loves to perform."

Chen's voice was not low, Shi Huaiya was like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail, almost didn't jump up from the chair, her anger overflowed: "Chen! I'm standard Victorian aristocratic etiquette, do you have any grievances?! ”

"Don't be a nobleman, now there is a war between the nobles and the royal family, I remember that the Shihuaiya family is an important member of this city, whose side are you going to stand on?"

For a while, Shi Huaiya was stunned, but she didn't expect Chen to directly tell the fact that everyone was silent, her family was undoubtedly a standard princely faction, but she was always wavering in the matter of the Jacobins attacking the royal family.

Whether it is the Shi Huaiya family, many famous families in Victoria are watching, and they will definitely make their own choices before the dust settles completely.

Although the little tiger is sitting here, it is a pity that she cannot influence the family's decision, and can only make a beautiful vase, and the vase cannot decide where to place it.

This is the helplessness of the members of the big family, Zhou Jinru didn't say a word, thought everything through, and opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "So what is the state outside now?" ”

"The Jacobins and the royal family each occupied one side of the city, and they were bounded by the Saiga River, and Eastern Lentinium was under the control of the Jacobins, and they had a large number of workers and peasants, as well as small factory owners, and some small civil servants; Silentinium remained loyal to the royal family, and they were a number of nobles and social figures of high status, including scholars and thinkers. ”

Zhou Jinru nodded, and asked again, "Which side is the city guard force on?" ”

"On their own side."

Chen shrugged her shoulders, obviously she had already made contact with the other party, and said calmly: "They are all wall-riding factions, whoever wins will support whomever they want, the duty of the city guard force is to protect Lentinium from foreign invaders, as for the Victorians' own infighting, they refuse to participate." ”

Yes, it's Victorian.

Zhou Jinru swallowed his saliva, because the decision of those wall-riding factions surprised him, and he felt that it was expected that the Victorians, who were good at betting on both sides, would always have a bright future.

But have they ever thought about what if both sides lose, and the real winner is an outsider?

"Are there no outsiders near Lentinium?"

"No, the number of times the city has been captured can be counted on one hand."

"Great, have they ever heard the saying 'the strongest fortresses fall from within'?"

Shi Huaiya didn't understand what Zhou Jinru meant, she bit a piece of meat chop, and said nonchalantly: "It is impossible for those barbarians to capture this city, my father and some people who have far-reaching influence in the political field are preparing to send some hopeless prisoners to the wasteland in the west to clear the wasteland. ”

It is better to send it farther, because there is no way for a man to cross the long wilderness on his legs before the transport capacity reaches its peak two hundred years later.

The conversation ended with their exchange of words, and Shi Huaiya finished eating, flicked her sleeves, and turned to leave, leaving the four people present staring at each other.

"Ms. Xingxiong, can you please put me in touch with someone?"

Xingxiong listened to Zhou Jinru's request, and raised his eyebrows: "Male or female?" ”

Chen, who was sitting next to Zhou Jinru, immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully, for fear of missing a little bit of content.

Zhou Jinru couldn't cry or laugh, he wasn't a scumbag who harmed the girl, as for guarding it so closely?

"Female," Zhou Jinru quietly looked away from Chen's face and continued, "Adella, Adella Dawson, if there is news of her, I would like to see her. ”

In order to dispel the doubts in Chen's heart, Zhou Jinru further explained: "She was one of the members of the operation to infiltrate Vole Prison together, and only the two of us in our entire team survived. ”

At present, the Voller prison is still under the control of the royal family, and the number of citizens surrounding the Voller prison is increasing, and what is even more incredible is that the Voller prison tried to ease the conflict with the people, leaving only a few prisoners imprisoned on the tower, and the rest were all released.

"What about the invented?"

"No, the special prison for infected people has been in operation and there is no sign of any readiness for release."

Zhou Jinru pinched his chin, all he could think of was the prisoner who asked him to find a painter, who had probably been released.

He had no intention of continuing the conversation, got up silently, and asked casually, "Is there a guest room?" ”

"Yes."

Xingxiong's words proved that Shi Huaiya had announced that if Zhou Jinru was willing to stay overnight, then the guest rooms of the manor would be open for him.

Since Yelena hadn't spoken, Zhou Jinru also had to consider her thoughts, so he asked, "Miss Yelena, can you stay here for the time being tonight?" ”

"Huh?"

Yelena, who was thinking about the problem, looked at Zhou Jinru blankly, expressing her incomprehension of his question.

Zhou Jinru had to repeat it again, Yelena's expression was a little strange, and she muttered a few words in her mouth, she sighed: "We are enjoying a good meal in the warm living room, and those poor people are still starving, this is ridiculous. ”

It turned out that she had been thinking about this, Zhou Jinru pondered for two seconds, and replied: "There is really a limit to what we can do, and it is the Victorian royal family who should really take on this responsibility, not us." ”

Shi Huaiya did gather some nobles and wealthy people who were preparing to provide themselves with the rising prices of vegetables and grain, as a strong backing for the Foundation to solve the problem, but no amount of nobles could fight against the powerful lions, and the poor people could only fend for themselves until the situation was completely settled.

"Zhou, this is not the life I want."

The white rabbit said a word, drifted away, and followed the waiter to her room.

Chen crossed his arms: "Narrow-minded idealist." ”

After such a long time, Chen should have understood the reason for the high crime rate of the poor, so she said such an idealist, after all, she was also a warrior with lofty ideals, and then this ideal was ruthlessly shattered, and she began to doubt everything, doubting whether her life was worthwhile, and it was at that time that she chose to believe in Zhou Jinru.

With a faint smile on the corner of Xingxiong's mouth, he looked at Zhou Jinru: "Zhou, what about you?" ”

Zhou Jinru said sincerely: "I just ate enough. ”

Star Bear: "......"

She suddenly had an urge to put the plate on this man's face, others are saying their own opinions, but your opinion is "just full", don't let the eldest lady laugh to death when you say it?

Chen is also a black line, he didn't expect this man to say such a non-scoreful thing, obviously he provoked the words first.

"Rest early."

Zhou Jinru pretended not to see the faces of the two women who were about to turn black to the bottom of the pot, thirty-six strategies, turned into the wind, and hurriedly ran away with the waiter.

This meal is no less than the Hongmen banquet that will go down in history, and if you are not careful, Chen's forty-meter-long big knife will fall.

Throwing himself into the soft big bed, Zhou Jinru let out a long breath, his severe cold was about to be cured, and the acceleration given to him by Mingyuexin made the process of illness shrink again and again, and the problem was solved in just sixteen hours.

"Bright Moon Heart."

"You're finally remembering me."

Zhou Jinru: "......"

What's going on with this slightly resentful tone?

He coughed lightly and asked, "Can you find the whereabouts of Adella Dawson directly?" ”

Mingyue's heart was silent, like an active volcano with a hot face flowing inside, and her words swept back like bullets:

"Doctor, now Lentinium is still in the steam stage of vehicles, and the power generation is extremely limited, how can there be such a thing as public monitoring that is ahead of its time? If you want to find him, just go to the Quiet Church and squat, the place where she usually haunts the most is there, if you don't feel safe enough, you can let Shi Huaiya take you there. ”

Zhou Jinru was speechless for a while: "I asked a woman to take me to meet another woman?" ”
