Vol 3 Chapter 1031: Peace and love town

The hands of time go, the windmills of the years go round, the wheels of destiny go round ... in short, that's what it means, you just need to know that it is three years from now.
Well, three years later.
Outside a medium-sized town somewhere in the north, a convoy of troops came under the guard of more than a hundred well-equipped cavalry, and then came about three miles outside the town. With the whistling of the leading cavalry, the team's speed was suddenly It slowed down a lot, and the rider spread out, hitting the arrow and pressing the gun, and approached the town entrance in a hurry.
At this moment, a rush, the curtain of the luxurious carriage in the middle of the convoy was pulled open from the inside, "Ah ... a thousand miles, is it finally here?" There was a faint stretch of a figure in the carriage. Then, the window opened, and a young man with a charming male face protruded out. First, he looked away at the town in front of him. Then he turned his eyes and landed on a stone tablet beside the road. He narrowed his eyes and read, "Peace friend ... ... has love town? Isn't this a typo? "
I have to say that this young handsome guy has good observation. Of course, the way of thinking is even more bizarre. But unfortunately, no one answered him, but there was a question in the car. "This is the place where we are looking for this time? His Excellency, Philip, are you sure you are here?"
Young handsome guy, oh no, Philip smiled and retracted his head. Instead of answering the question immediately, he looked at a calm, middle-aged man sitting opposite and asked: "n, w⊥ww. Mandel Sir, do you know the geographical location of this new town in front of us? "
"Her Philip, are you going to test me?" The middle-aged man, known as Sir Mandel, raised his eyebrows, and then returned smoothly, "As far as I know. This town is backed by the city of fire. Facing the city of Pula This is where Muhawa is now. It is just at the junction of the Grey Army and the Northern Tribes. It is an uncompromising area ... I am right, Lord Philip? "
With applause, Philip admired and sighed, "It is indeed a negotiating candidate for Her Majesty the King. Sir Mandel has done a good job of homework ... But you know what we are looking for this time, the Grey Coat and the Northern Wilderness. Tribal relations? "
Mandel frowned. "That assassin? I heard that he is the husband of the Grey Army Chief Johia ... isn't that the main reason we came to him this time, did we?"
"Yes, but this is only one aspect." Shaking his head slightly, Philip seemed to remember something. There was some emotion in his expression, "That guy is the winner of personal life ... Well, now that we have reached our destination, there are some things that should be made clear. That guy, in addition to Josiah's husband, is also with the Northern Wilderness Royal Family. The only Highness, that is, the highest commander of the Northern Wilderness, who led a million brutal troops in the Leinau Theater to beat our emperor team, Lansha, has a great friendship. Even ... Well, anyway, I think this pair Dogs and men must be hooked up. "
Pouting. Make no secret of the look of envy and hatred on his face: "Oh, yes. He is not too close to the Bran Empire. Maybe Sir Mandel, you have heard the news, but you have n’t been sure, because some people are afraid Ashamed so he blocked it ... yes, he was the assassin who sent the pope and the great prince to the Father three years ago! "
"Hmm ..." Rao is the man with a very stable mind. He had heard the news and rumors before, but when he got affirmative confirmation from Philip at this time, he couldn't help but breathed in a cold breath, scalp. Micro hemp. It wasn't until the shock came that the surface calmed down and Shen said, "I heard that the assassin was dead."
"Hear? Hehe ..." Philip shook his head and laughed. "I'm sure you haven't heard how he died, right?"
Mandel defaulted, Philip asked and answered, "He was burnt to death. The exact time was about the end of the month after the First Battle of the Temple. When he married that Josiah that night, he should have drunk too much and accidentally knocked over the candlestick. Oil lamp. Then after the wedding room was completely burned by the fire, he was not drunk. He rushed out of it ... Hehe, a peerless power who dared to sneak into the General Assembly of the Temple, assassinate the Pope and succeed. Is it true that you were just burned to death? "
Mandel shook his head with a bitter smile: "If it's true like you said, then whether you believe it or not, anyway, I don't believe it ... I understand!" Paid a moment, clamoring suddenly, "Get away by cheating! So ... he now Hiding in this town? "
"No, you still don't fully understand it." Philip waved regretfully. "Although he did a lot of angry things, the Empire, especially the Temple of Light, hated to kill him soon. But he has to say that his current The realm of strength, even though the world is so big, who can stop it and where can't it go? Where do I need to deliberately hide? "
"And the reason why he has to stay in this sensitive area and new town for three years ... haha ​​..." Speaking of this, Philip burst into laughter, gloating, "just because he was worried about the backyard fire. Think about it, Josiah is his genuine wife, Lan Sha is his open love. People. Such chaotic relations, if he is not here, the Gray Army and the North Wild Tribe may have already turned upside down! "
"So it is ... peace and love town, so it is ..." Well, even if Mandel claims to be a person who has seen big scenes, his experience is rich, but for now, this can only be achieved by the chaotic relationship between one man and two women. The ridiculous things that promoted and even determined the state of game between nations still greatly exceeded his imagination, and he couldn't help but sigh with regret and wonder.
But immediately, Mandel seemed to think of something, his eyes narrowed thoughtfully, his eyes flashing.
"If I were you, believe me, it would definitely clear the dangerous thoughts in my mind immediately!"
Suddenly in his heart, Mandel slowly raised his head, looking at the corner of his mouth slightly, just like Philip who smiled and looked at himself, paused, and spread his hand and smiled, "Her Philip, you think too much."
"I also hope that I think too much. If that's the case ... sorry, please forgive me for getting used to nature." Philip looked impassive. "Perhaps Sir Mandel knew that the Empire had done several times with the Grey Army. Negotiations, every time I it, I play the role of a middleman in it. What do I say? I am not bad. There are shadows ... So. I think it is necessary to remind Master Mandel here. "
Raising a finger, staring at Mandel's calm eyes, Philip said pressure in a deep voice, "Some dangerous thoughts are best not to move, otherwise no one can afford them ... Let's be honest, the guy is indeed a gray army The only bond with the Beihuang tribe, but this is the only way to assassinate him and create chaos in the two countries. It is undoubtedly the way to die! No one is a fool, and not to mention that this plan is simply impossible to succeed, even if it can, believe I, facing two crazy women who have lost their love, the first one to pay the price of death is bound to be the Bran Empire! In this regard, Master Mandel must also believe! "
Mandel did not evade the oppressive eyes that seemed to be good at negotiating. He had a very strong psychological quality and smiled calmly. Silently, until the body slightly paused. It was only after entering the town that it broke the silence of the carriage. Shaking his head and sighing softly, "Hi Philip, your position seems to be questionable."
"When you are more pitted, it will be like this ... Of course, I still believe in the professionalism of the Jazz, and I hope you can achieve a satisfactory negotiation result for the Empire this time."
"Thank you, and I hope you can face your own position. After all, you have the glory of the empire's attention!"
"Oh, good to say ..."
"To each other ..."
...
Mandel's homework is no problem, this strangely-named town does have some irrelevant qualities. For example, when this dazzling convoy and more than a hundred elite cavalry entered the town, they did not encounter any cross-examinations at all, and they could not see the presence of law enforcement officers such as guard cavalry in the field of vision.
However, if this is considered to be the area regardless of the three, it is also a bit misleading. Because the atmosphere here is much better than expected, the various shops with open doors on the street, and the street vendors who scream and drink, the pedestrians come and go, and they are in a constant stream. As they pass by the convoy, they face the cavalry. When we looked down at it with a little scrutiny, the pedestrians' expressions were mostly calm, and after a few glances, they looked boring and looked away.
As a result, when some of the eye-catching convoys entered here, it was like a clear spring converging into the lake, causing almost no ripples and calming down.
The noise is not chaotic. This is the first impression of the town. If you look closely, you will find that there seems to be an invisible rule here to ensure that the town is in order and vibrant!
The team's goals were clear, or they found a good guide, Philip. So there was almost no detour. After crossing more than half of the town, the convoy finally stopped in front of a pub-like building in the town.
"Have a clear time ..." Stepping out of the carriage, Philip looked up at the concise sign in the store, and grinned, "Well, although I don't understand what Qing Qing is, I can be sure that I know the name of this strange town What happened? "
"What?" Mandel couldn't understand.
"It's nothing, but suddenly I feel understandable without taste, but the bad taste is not good ... let's go in." If he left a sentence that shrugged Mandel inexplicably, Philip would walk to this weird shop first. As soon as I stepped in, there was a gloom in front of me.
Don't get me wrong, this is not a quilt, but the environment inside the store. The semi-enclosed design makes the bright and sunny sun in the afternoon turned out, and the light in the store is not bright enough. In addition, the dim yellow wall lamps on the surrounding walls are a bit dim at first glance. However, if you take a closer look, you will find that the atmosphere here is like an old book with yellowing corners, giving you a sense of tranquility and tranquility.
These design methods were undoubtedly beyond the expectations of Philip and Mandel. The two paused for a moment at the threshold, and then their eyesight gradually adapted to recovery. Looking at the store, "What famous ..."
The interior decoration is also very unique, with tables and chairs, which at first glance looks like a pub hall, but if you look closely, you will find a world of difference. Those one-man tall bonsais, or colorful drawing boards, or the statues of the dagger Zoran, etc., separated each table into spaces, looking cluttered but well-organized, with a strange sense of balance and harmony.
"Well, that's interesting ..."
The above two contradictory statements of mixed criticism come from the mouth of Philip, and I have to say that the wolf of the imperial capital wolf is still very poisonous. Although it was a bit frowning at first when it was hit by this novelty, Quickly recovered again. And secretly pondering the charm of beauty. Really extraordinary.
"It's a bit interesting," Mandel echoed and nodded. However, his focus is not on the overall decoration design of the store, but on some details, such as the layout that is different from ordinary pubs, and the wine rack counter placed in the deepest part of the hall. "The money is collected so far away from the door, and you are not afraid of guests. Do you leave immediately after drinking? "
Philip smiled and shook his head: "Ha, believe me, no one will do this stupid thing."
Mandel sniffed. Immediately thinking of the horrible identity of the host here, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "That's true, I want to be bad." Isn't it? If the owner of this weird tavern is really the man who dared to assassinate the Pope, then dare to escape here, but he really doesn't know how to write the dead words ...
The wine rack counter is said to be in the deepest part of the lobby, but the area of ​​this weird tavern was not large, so it was only a dozen steps. Philip walked from the threshold to the counter.
But unfortunately, there is still a sturdy young man in gray clothes waiting in front of them. Not like guests.
Realizing that someone was behind him, the young man in gray clothes turned his head subconsciously. He looked up and down at Philip's clothing and looked up and down, then looked sideways at the luxury team knight parked outside the door, and frowned slightly.
At this time, "Sorry, little Kim, I have been waiting for you for a long time ..." The wooden door behind the counter opened, and a figure came out with a small cloth bag. It was also a young man, but it seemed to be more mature, and the public face was hanging on With a faint smile called harmless humans and animals. I was looking around, and I saw Philip with a slightly raised mouth and Mandel with a complex look and eyes. He couldn't help but hesitated and reacted instantly, raising an eyebrow at the former Philip to greet him.
"Brother Tang, you are so polite, I haven't waited long." The gray-clad young man calling him a little Kim, with a familiar and gentle attitude, even faintly respected, reached out and picked up the young man who was placed on the counter by the young owner. After pouching, he couldn't help but stun, "Well? This month ... more money?"
"Not much, make up the money owed to you last month, just fine." The young shop owner shook his head with a smile and heard, "Little Kim, the monthly money has risen since last month, why didn't you tell your big brother? The result is that you pad yourself Let's go in. "
"Oh, is that still known by Brother Tang." The young man in gray clothing scratched his head with a smirk, diluting his sturdy spirit instantly, but his attitude was extremely firm and he pushed the extra coins back. "In fact, it doesn't matter, Tang Brother, you are kind to my family. If you did n’t accept my mother to work here a few years ago, you would always pay an excessive commission, and you also intentionally asked my mother to bring food back. My little Kim might have starved to the streets ... I'm already ashamed of your collection of this month's money. My mother beat me several times for this. I almost didn't let me in, so I really can't collect more money ... "
"Okay, little Kim, let you hold it. Just hold it. There are rules to help. Since you come out to do things, you have to have a bowl of water. This is a rule, you can't mess." Shaking his head again, the young shop owner forced the money. Stuffed into the hands of young people in gray clothes, "And our town has a bad geographical location, no one cares. The reason why we can be peaceful now is not because of your daily patrol management, to maintain order. So this money You deserve it, nothing else ... Well, if you really want to thank me, just come to me and sit and add some turnover to me, hehe ... "
"Eh, that's fine, I'm afraid I'll hit my mother and be beaten again ... And, brother, this place is good, but it's too clean and quiet, we are not comfortable here, we dare not speak loudly, drink happy."
"Well, co-author your kid is here to fight my brother!"
"Haha, how dare I have that guts. I mean, you are on the high-end route, you are all rich and noble, and we are rough people, so ... hehe ..."
Unhappy and waved, "Okay kid, hurry up with the moon money."
"Okay, let's go, let's go ..." The mouth said to go, but the young man in gray clothes didn't move, he glanced at Philip next to him, and asked with a smile, "Yes, These two look at each other, are they your brother? "
The young shopkeeper glanced at Philip, who was standing still, and nodded, "Yes."
"Really?" Asked the young man in gray clothing, seemingly pointing.
"Nonsense!" The young shopkeeper waved his hands again in a bad mood: "Rest assured, they didn't come to trouble me, so don't need to ask more."
"Oh, that's good, I'll just ask." The young man in gray clothes finally relieved, "Then I leave first ... no! Look at my mind, I almost forgot, there is one more thing to do with you brother Say."
"What's wrong with your boy today, is it still over?"
The young man in gray clothing scratched his head awkwardly: "The real thing, the real thing ... Well, I don't know if you have heard of Brother Tang. Recently, a new helper face has been added to the town, and his behavior is very arrogant."
The young shop owner thought for a moment, "You mean those people who live in the south of the town?"
"Yes, that's them. I heard that they used to be robbers, but now they can't mix anymore. In this group, they are called the Black Tiger Gang. A few days ago we asked our boss to come out and talk. This town ... Oh, of course, the result is unhappy. But they do n’t seem to want to stop at this point. So you have to pay attention recently. If they dare to make trouble, you will send someone to notify me in time, and I will take someone. Come and clean them up. "
"Okay, I wrote it down."
He waved goodbye, "That way, I'm leaving now, I won't delay your brother to entertain your friends." Maybe it is necessary to go elsewhere to collect money. After that, the young men in gray clothes will not delay, and politely nodded to the two of them. Then, turned and hurriedly left.
"Monthly money ... protection fee?" When the gray-clad youth who was supposed to be a gang member of the town disappeared at the door, Philip looked at the young shopkeeper with a strange look, his tone was scornful and incredible ~ EbookFREE.me ~ But The young shopkeeper was very calm and spread his hand: "No way, spend money to keep things safe. Small books can't afford toss."
"Pretend! You pretend!"
The young shop owner shrugged indifferently, then opened the wooden door next to the counter and greeted softly, "It's been a long time, Philip. You didn't die on the woman's belly, which really surprised me."
Philip stepped forward: "I'm also puzzled that you haven't been burned to death, really ... the gods don't open their eyes!"
"Hah, you mouth of the flower ... it really is still the same!"
"Everyone! Each other!"
With a bang, under the yellow wall lamp, the two figures embraced each other vigorously, hammering each other's back with each other, and the battle drums were squealing, as if there were postures to be hammered directly ...
