Chapter 36. Walk in the snow 2

Horse-drawn carts laden with hay stopped on the side of the road, and from time to time civilians passed by with baskets, and in front of them, there was a long queue at the food distribution point, and I don't know how many people braved the wind and snow to collect food.

"It's in a hurry, and there aren't many police officers around who are in charge of order, so they can't stop the civilians who have received the food from receiving it repeatedly, it's more chaotic than expected, and it seems that the new nobles are not ready."

"I know they're not ready, and William isn't ready, because it's because they're not ready that the chances of success are higher."

Zhou Jinru didn't mean to get up, he was still lying on the haystack, his legs crossed, and his leather shoes dangling.

Kelsey shook his head: "The conditions are not sufficient, you and I have no ability to change anything." ”

"There is no need to change, just tell the new nobles that we have been here before, and the rest of the things, they will do it out of fear."

The number of people queuing to receive food is still increasing, and even families are dragged to the queue, the crowd is crowded, and the few police officers struggle to maintain order, but everything is in vain.

Zhou Jinru removed his top hat, turned over and jumped off the carriage, walked to Kelsey's side, and asked with a smile: "So far, how big do you think William's chance of winning?" ”

"Not high, at least not as high as you say."

It's not that Kelsey didn't point it out directly, after yesterday when the police station stormed the scene of the secret assembly, the winning side was already negligible, and it was impossible for him to win, but the man in front of him gave a seventy percent chance of winning, I really don't know what he was thinking.

"Kelsey, dear Kelsey, to be honest, you must think that William doesn't have any chance, not only is the strength at hand insufficient, but there are also problems within the assembly, he has to face a new nobleman who has the vast majority of the armed forces of Lentinium, or an enemy who has the power to interpret the law, right?"

Zhou Jinru put on the top hat, the brim of the hat leaned forward to cover the man's eyes, and said softly: "I think the same as you, and I also think that he has no chance, but I gave a fifty percent chance of winning at the beginning, not because of anything else, just because of you, because you Kelsey is still standing here, and you have not parted ways with William, you alone are fifty percent hope." ”

The lynx moved its lips, isn't it appropriate to say these things now?

She struggled to argue: "I personally don't have the ability to change the whole situation. ”

"I know, but you still have me."

Kelsey: "......"

Why is this guy so badly beaten?

"The same police station attacked the venue of the secret meeting, which added an extra layer of chance, because the fear was transmitted in the hearts of the new nobles, I went to two places, one is the Quiet Church, and the other is the Leon Mansion, people like me will definitely enter their sight, and then track down my specific whereabouts, one day is enough, I gave them enough time.

As for who leaked the news of the secret assembly, it doesn't matter, we can already confirm that the new aristocracy put their interests above the state, and they feel that someone wants to interfere with their interests, so they can't wait to jump out to defend themselves, which is a flaw in itself. ”

Kelsey reacted instantly: "We're going to the armory?!" ”

"It's not us, it's me, Kelsey, you go and help William, they must be trying to capture the armory."

In order to maintain the distribution point, the manpower of the police station will be scattered all over Lentinium, and Zhou Jinru's whereabouts of stepping on the point in advance forced the new nobles to strengthen the defense of those two places, and then, they did not dare to relax the blockade of Lentinium, so there will inevitably be some weak links.

That's the 7th chance of winning.

Zhou Jinru decided to add another fire to help the new nobles keep warm this winter.

"I'll take the carriage with me, and we'll talk about the rest when we meet."

With Mingyuexin as a helper, Zhou Jinru could easily get the map, and he drove the carriage all the way to the east.

It's because of you people that Vena can't go back to her home, and you have relatives from all over the world, so that the regent can settle in.

It was also providence that made people, the new nobles originally wanted to control the entire country, but they didn't expect the forces that supported Aslan to fight back, and in the end, they only got the embarrassing situation of aristocratic co-governance.

"Because of small profits and loss of righteousness, that's all there is to it."

The carriage gradually accelerated in the snow, the wheels splashed with snow, and through a curved street, a circular warehouse appeared in front of Zhou Jinru.

The Armory's signature appearance is its rounded roof, which is recognisable in the relatively old town of Lentinium.

Today was a special situation, and an extra team of defense personnel was added to the outside of the armory, all with weapons in hand, patrolling the ice and snow with difficulty.

The soldiers did not know what medicine the noble lord had taken wrong, so they ordered three teams of people to change shifts, patrol day and night, and in the event of an emergency, immediately call for support, for them, walking outdoors in cold weather will accelerate the loss of physical strength, so they need to replenish a lot of energy, that is, high-quality food.

However, Lentinium had not brought in food from outside for two weeks, and had been depleting the city's strategic reserves, which had been declining rapidly without being replenished.

Maybe something is wrong with the city.

A lot of people have this idea but don't know what's going on.

"My family went to collect the food on the street today, I hope they can get more, this winter is too cold, too difficult."

"Really? My family is somewhere else, and they shouldn't be in a food shortage, and I don't know what happened to our country that is causing a food crisis in the capital. ”

The patrol trudged through the snow, constantly lifting their legs, which were stained with a mixture of ice and snow, moving forward, consuming precious calories with each movement.

And because of the exercise, the soldiers were sweating, and the cold wind penetrated the cotton clothes little by little, and they could not let themselves stop, otherwise their whole bodies would freeze.

"You know, my brother wrote that people living in the slums had started dying because they didn't have food and no heating?"

"It's no secret, every winter there are poor people who can't survive, may God bless their souls."

One soldier envied: "I remember that your brother is still in college, right?" ”

"Yes, Lentinium City Public University, there's heating over there."

"Alas, I was supposed to continue my education, but I have four younger siblings at home and have to go out to work."

"Move, move, if you don't want to freeze, move!"

This was the end of the chatter, and the patrol ran along the original route, but just then, a horse-drawn carriage with billowing smoke appeared in the distance, heading straight for the armory!
