Chapter 350: Calm Aftermath
After all, this negotiation could not continue, and of course, no one, including Josia's side, left immediately.
After all, it's killing a nobleman, even if there is a reason, it's not a matter of clapping your hands, throwing away the crossbow, and casually saying 'everyone disperse', and you can swagger away.
And now is indeed not the time to leave, although Alex was pierced through the head by an arrow, but the dead man of the family in his room caused a lot of trouble. It should be said that there is no problem with Bowes's arrangement, blasting the crystal to force the door, rows of archers to plug the gap, and a typical urn to kill turtles.
But those family dead soldiers did not live up to their names, and they even withstood the rain of arrows one after another, and they used their flesh and blood bodies to push out a gap, and Zuihou rushed out of the four high-level martial arts level dead soldiers.
In this way, the dead men were all injured in a lot of ways, and under the entanglement of Bowes and Bernie, they could not leave the hotel in the first place. And Boris and they are one against two, plus the cavalry under them is not helpful at all, and they can't take each other for a while. Zuihou and the two sides were tumbling in the attic, and the big fight provoked the owner of the hotel who came in a hurry to jump to his feet, and he almost burst into tears.
Zuihou Ronald couldn't stand it, so he gave an order to the royal guards, and came out with two senior martial artists with the identity of captains, and two intermediate peak martial artists. After these people stepped forward to help, they finally killed the four dead family members. However, even in the case of such an absolute advantage, Boris and the others still paid the price of minor injuries, and the four members of the royal guard were even worse, two dead and two seriously injured.
Such a result. It also made the faces of the surrounding nobles very ugly. Dead men are not unusual. The powerful nobles will raise this kind of it, whether it is used or not. It's still easy to get rid of the classes that are easy to be cannon fodder, but there are very few who can reach the level of a high-level martial artist. At the very least, with the ability of the Alex family, it should not be able to be raised, so the situation in this is enough to make people think deeply......
However, the nobles had no time to think about this issue for the time being, so they changed to a side hall, and everyone discussed for a long time. At noon, Josia took his leave.
In the days that followed, the weather was calm. There was no strong earthquake in Shanxi City because of this incident, and the two sides did not continue to hold talks on the surface. As if nothing had happened, the calm of the previous days was restored again.
Of course, the absence of overt negotiations does not mean that there are no secret contacts between the new nobles and Josia's side. It can be said that the negotiations in the past few days have not been severed, but have even tended to increase in frequency.
......
At noon on the day, a roadside tavern.
"Leaving so soon, not a few more days?"
"Hey. Sooner or later. Boris is here, and my business can't be opened at all. It's better to leave sooner. Save yourself from crashing into his hands. ”
"En......"
At the table, Donn, Philip, and Jack each sat on one side, raising their glasses and drinking from time to time. In the past few days, Don took the time to introduce Jack to Philip, and the two people with lewd traits really got along, but in a few days, they had completely evolved into mature people, and it could be said that they met too late.
However, today is the time of separation, and after Jack has been in Mountain Creek City for a few days, he still decides to change places. After all, the pressure on Bowes was too great, and staying here for an extra day made him feel a sense of trepidation.
This is personal freedom, and Don naturally won't force it, so he raised his glass and asked, "Then where to go next?"
Shaking his head, Jack touched the glass: "I don't know, maybe go back to the south, the north is too poor, and the nobles are the same, it's not worth starting." After a pause, he drank the drink in one gulp, "Tsk, but I can't say for sure, let's see when the time comes." ”
"I think you'd better go to the capital, where there are nobles and rich merchants everywhere. With your craft, you can walk around the street and get everything. Philip on the side did not express disgust with Jack's profession, on the contrary, he lazily came up with ideas, and did not look like a rich man at all.
Jack touched his chin and was a little longing: "Well, let's wait for the opportunity to see and see." ”
"Then it's decided, if you come to the capital, just report my name, it's absolutely good, maybe someone will send you money." ”
"What else is going on?" Jack's eyes widened, visibly shocked.
"That's a must...... A few times I was dragged by my friends to drink flower wine, but the waiter who guarded the door didn't let me in, and he stuffed money and knelt again, saying that he was afraid that I would kidnap the girl inside...... What the fuck!" Philip took a sullen sip of wine as he slammed the table.
"Uh, haha......" Don and Jack were stunned when they heard this, and then they couldn't help but look up.
After a few more drinks, and after being a little drunk, Jack simply got up, did not speak, waved his hand and walked away.
After watching Jack's figure quickly disappear into the street crowd, Don withdrew his gaze and raised his head to take a drink. I didn't feel anything, I was already lucky to meet my old friend in the vast sea of people, so why do I need to ask for more.
Raising his eyebrows and looking at Philip with a thoughtful expression, Don asked casually, "What do you think?"
Philip patted his forehead, a little distressed: "Somehow, every time I see Jack, I feel like I've forgotten something, but I can't remember it for a while. ”
Don didn't care: "Then don't think about it yet, let's talk about your hotel." Well, I'm sorry about Alex. ”
"Oh, it's okay, I don't really know him well, but there are too few other nobles in the capital, so everyone likes to talk about the two of us together. Philip was stunned for a moment, then shook his head to explain.
"Well, I'm still worried about the impact of Alex's death on you. ”
Waving his hand, "How come, nominally I am also a new nobleman, and he is a traditional nobleman, well, although it is hidden deep enough......" After a pause, Philip continued, "But the identity of Alex, a traditional nobleman, must not be exposed, Simpson, Ronald and these old foxes can probably guess, but they don't dare to say more...... How dare they admit that the Simpsons have died so many nobles, and the origin of those dead soldiers is suspicious, I guess Ronald must think in the direction of His Royal Highness, when it comes to the struggle for imperial power, he will not dare to mention it before returning to the capital. ”
Both sides had their own scruples, and neither of them was willing to lift the veil, so they had to dig up some soil and bury it...... Hehe, if you want to say that Alex is really thoughtful, he has killed all sides before, the traditional nobles and the new nobles have been wiped out, and now that he is dead, it is natural that he does not belong to either side...... Well, I think both sides want to attribute Alex's death to the previous assassination, and as for the murderers, of course, they are the men in black who have been completely exterminated. Ha, it's better to say that it's still a dead man, a dead man can't speak, and it's best to top the black pot......"
"En......" Don nodded after listening, these complicated political struggles have nothing to do with them. Now that you have taken revenge, and it does not affect the negotiations, it is naturally the most haode result.
"By the way, there have been no overt negotiations in the past few days, and the Simpson they have no suspicions?"
Philip laughed twice when he heard this, and said lightly: "Hehe, suspicion must be suspicion, but I think they are also a little disheartened now." came all the way to sabotage the negotiation with an order, but he didn't expect that someone hiding around him was even more ruthless, and he would sabotage the negotiation by killing his companions...... It's chilling. ”
After a pause, he smacked his lips, "Tsk, but it's no wonder that Alex is here." Remember what he said to Simpson and the others before he died...... 'Because you fools!' was so angry...... Originally, if it weren't for the fact that Simpson and the others were too bad, so that Alex had no hope of completing the task after the second negotiation, he might not have used these drastic methods...... Really, I'm not afraid of an opponent like a demon, I'm afraid of a teammate like a pig!"
Tang En chuckled when he heard this: "Hehe, I think this pig-like teammate is really likable?"
"It's a different position, if you're an Aless, you also want to kill, at least find a way to kill with a knife...... Huh?"
The words were sudden, Philip opened his mouth, banged, slapped the table, and grinned like a toothache: "Damn, I finally remembered, that Jack took my short sword before, and he hasn't returned it to me so far!"
Don was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when he first met Jack, he had indeed taken the short sword under Philip's pillow...... stroked his forehead, his face speechless, "It's just a short sword, although it looks pretty sharp, but you still care about this?"
"Alas......" Knowing that the tracking was hopeless now, Philip sighed and sat down, shook his head, and muttered, "That's not an ordinary sword......
