After all, this negotiation failed to continue. Of course, including the people on Joah's side, neither People leave immediately.After all, he killed a nobleman, and even if there is a reason for the incident, it's not like clapping your hands, throwing away the crossbow, and casually saying "let's go", and you can swagger and leave.
And now is really not the time to leave. Although Alex was pierced by an arrow, the dead family in his room caused a lot of trouble. It should be said that Bowen's arrangement is still no problem, blasting the crystal to force the door, rowing the archer to block the gap, and killing a turtle in a typical urn.
But the dead men of the family did not live up to their names. They went up against the rain of arrows one after another. They pushed out a gap with their fleshy body, and finally rushed out of the four Advanced Martial Artist levels. of the dead.
It was so lively that these dead men were all seriously injured. Under the entanglement of Bowens and Bernie, they failed to leave the hotel range at the first time. And Bowens and the others have one against two, plus the cavalry is not good at all, and they can't take the other side for a while. In the end, the two sides tumbled in the attic and made a move, causing the innkeeper who hurried to the hotel to jump on his feet, and almost burst into tears.
In the end, Ronald couldn't stand it any longer, so he ordered the Imperial Family guards to come out with two Captain's Advanced Martial Artists and two Intermediate Peak Martial Artists. After these people stepped forward to help together, they finally killed the four dead family members. However, even in the case of occupying such an absolute advantage, Bowens and the others still paid the price of minor injuries, and the four Imperial Family guards were even worse, with two deaths and 2nd layer injuries.
Such a victory also made the surrounding nobles look very ugly. It is not uncommon to have dead soldiers, and powerful nobles will raise this kind of troops that are very easy to use or get rid of as cannon fodder, but very few can reach the Advanced Martial Artist level. At least speaking, with the ability of the Alex family, it should not be raised, so the situation here is enough to make people think deeply...
But the nobles have no time to think about this issue for the time being. In a side hall, everyone discussed for a long time, and finally at noon, Joah led the people to leave.
A few days later, calm and tranquil. Shanxicheng did not cause any strong earthquake because of this incident, and the two sides did not continue to hold negotiations on the surface. As if nothing had happened, the calm Condition of the previous days was restored again.
Of course, there is no negotiation on the surface, it does not mean that there is no secret contact between the new noble and Joah. It can be said that the negotiation in the past few days has not stopped, and even has a tendency to increase in frequency.
......
This afternoon, the roadside tavern.
"Leaving so soon? How many days to stay?"
"Hey, sooner or later. Bowen's here, my business simply won't open. It's better sooner Leave, so as not to bump into his hands."
"Well..."
On the table, Tang En, Philip, and Jack each sat on one side, toasting and drinking from time to time. The past few days, Tang En took the time to introduce Jack to Philip. The two people who both have wretched qualities really got along very well, but in a few days, they have completely evolved into mature people, and it can be said that they meet each other too late.
But today is the time of separation. After spending a few days in Mountain Creek City, Jack decided to change places. After all, Bowens put him under too much pressure, and staying here for another day made him feel nervous.
This is personal freedom, Tang En naturally won't force it, he raised his glass and asked, "Where are we going next?"
shook the head, Jack touched the glass: "I don't know! Maybe I will go back to the south. The north is too poor, and the nobles are the same, so it's not worth it." After a pause, he drank his drink, "tsk tsk, but I can't say for sure, I'll look at it later. ."
"I think you should go to the capital, where nobles and rich businessmen are everywhere. With your craftsmanship, you can walk around the street and have everything." Philip on the side did not tell Jack. The occupation expressed disgust, on the contrary, he was lazily out of ideas, and did not take himself as a rich man at all.
Jack touched his chin and looked forward to it: "Well, wait until you have a chance to see it."
"Then it's settled, you only need to report my name when you come to the capital. , it's definitely useful, maybe someone will send you money."
"Damn, what else is there?" Jack's eyes widened, obviously shocked.
"That's necessary... I was dragged by my friends to drink flower wine a few times, but the waiter at the door wouldn't let me in. He was stuffing money and had to kneel. They said that I was afraid that I would kidnap the girl inside... What a goddamn!" Depressed slamming the table, Philip took a sip of his wine.
"Uh, haha..." Tang En and Jack were stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't help laughing.
After drinking a few more drinks and having several points of drunkenness, Jack simply stood up, waved his hand and left without speaking.
After watching Jack silhouette disappear quickly into the street crowd, Tang En withdrew his gaze and raised his head for a drink. There is no feeling at all. It is a blessing to meet the old man in the vast sea of people, and there is no need to ask for more.
Raising his eyebrows and looking at Philip who looked thoughtful, Tang En asked casually, "What are you thinking?"
Philip patted his forehead, a little distressed: "I don't know why. Yes, every time I see Jack, I feel that I have forgotten something, but I want to do not raise."
Tang En didn't care: "Then don't think about it, talk about it. It's about your hotel. Well, about Alex, I'm sorry."
"Eh? Oh, it's okay, I don't actually know him well, but there are too few alternative nobles in the capital. , so people like to put the two of us together to talk about things." Philip shook his head to explain after a moment's stunned.
"That's good, I'm still worried that Alex's death will have any bad effects on you."
He waved his hand, "How could it be, anyway, in name I am also a new nobleman, and he is a traditional nobleman, um, even if it is hidden deep enough..." After a pause, Philip continued, "But the identity of the traditional nobleman Alexis must not be exposed, Simpson, Luo The old foxes like Ronald can probably guess, but they don’t dare to say more... How could Simpson and the others admit that so many nobles died? And the origins of those dead men are suspicious, I guess Ronald will definitely go to the Eldest Prince. Thinking about the direction, when it comes to the struggle for imperial power, he didn't dare to mention it before returning to the capital."
"Both sides have their own scruples, and no one wants to lift the veil, so they have to dig some dirt to put it on the ground. Buried...hehe, to say that Alexis really thoughtful, he slaughtered all sides before, the traditional aristocracy and the new aristocracy have been wiped out, and now that he is dead, he does not belong to any side as it should be by rights... Well, I see the meaning of both sides, they both want to attribute the death of Alex to the previous assassination. As for the murderers, of course, those black-clothing men who have been completely wiped out. Ha, after all, it’s better to be dead, dead people can’t Talking is the most suitable for taking the blame..."
"Well..." Tang En nodded after listening, these complicated political struggles have nothing to do with them. Now that it is revenge without affecting the negotiation, it is naturally the best result.
"By the way, there was no negotiation on the surface in the past few days. Simpson and the others have no doubts?"
Philip laughed twice and said lightly: "hehe, doubt for sure. It is suspicious, but I think they are a little disheartened now. They came all the way with orders to sabotage the negotiation, but they didn't expect to hide a more ruthless person around them and even use the method of killing their comrades to sabotage the negotiation... Chilling. Ahh."
After a pause, smacking his lips, "tsk tsk, but Alex is not to blame for this. Remember what he said to Simpson and the others before he died...'Because you idiots Ah!' It's so resentful... Originally, if it wasn't for Simpson and the others being too bad, Alex would have no hope of completing the Quest after the second negotiation, and he might not have used these drastic means... Really , not afraid of demon-like opponents, but of pig-like teammates!"
Tang En heard the words lightly said with a smile: "hehe, why do I think this pig-like teammate is really likable? ?"
"Is your position different? If you are Alex, you also want to kill, at least find a way to kill with a knife... eh?"
The words suddenly stopped, Philip Zhang He opened his mouth, bang, slammed on the table, and grinned like a toothache: "Mom, I finally remembered, that Jack took my dagger before, and still hasn't returned it to me!"
"Tang En was stunned for a moment, then thought that when he first saw Jack, he really took the dagger under Philip's pillow... He stroked his forehead, his face speechless, "It's just a dagger. , although it looks sharp, but you still care about this? "
"Alas..." Knowing that it was hopeless to track now, Philip sighed sat down, shook his head, muttered, "That's not an ordinary sword..."
