My name is Ren

Chapter 36 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, you still can't be too explosive

I was really drunk. When I got up to work in the morning, I would walk like a float, and I would hit the wall when I walked.Alcohol is really not a good thing, but you can't live without alcohol when you are with your brothers. Watch my little Kuaishou four more.

===========================
Barto's mind was still buzzing, he never imagined that in just one day, Kent was dead and Pulce was missing.If he was just those small forces in the city who were still struggling in the mud, he might have laughed out loud.After all, the two Tai Sui who were riding on their heads suddenly disappeared without a trace, and a round of reshuffle of forces is inevitable. In addition to the territory left by Huth and Rice, there will be several brand new forces slowly. Rise up and become a part of the decent people in this city.

But he couldn't be happy, the inherent sphere of influence was broken, the coveted companions, the eager challengers, their glasses were all staring at this mu three points, even on him.And what made him feel fear and fear the most was the bone-chilling coldness behind this incident.If it was said that this matter had nothing to do with the city lord, he wouldn't believe it even if he was killed.

His face was gloomy like the night at this time, and he let out a heavy groan from his nostrils, "Let's go back first, what the hell."

A dozen mercenaries drove two carriages, and when they were about 100 meters away from the city gate, two teams of cavalry greeted them with torches.Barto just glanced at it, feeling a little troubled in his heart. If Kent was still alive, these people would definitely not be so active, and they would not dare to be so active.He thought about a lot of things for a moment, where did Puershi go, who would take over as the captain of the guard, and whether he would be selected from the guard or appointed directly by the city lord.

After Kent's death, the capital will definitely come to investigate. No one will believe the absurd and funny thing that a city guard officer was bitten to death by a dog. Will they directly appoint a city defense officer after they come, or will they come from the city? Send someone over from the capital.Whether there is room for meddling in this, and whether there is any possibility of tampering, all need to be carefully considered.

In short, it will cost another sum of money.

Seeing the knights getting closer, Barto raised his hand to stop the convoy. He glanced back, and when he looked back again, his expression suddenly changed. The businessman who hired them to deliver the goods was gone.Not long ago he was sitting on the side of the carriage, but now he has disappeared without a trace.He asked sharply, "Where is the employer?"

A new mercenary in the regiment explained: "The employer said that it is convenient to go, and said that this place is not far from the city gate, so there is no need to wait for him, he will rush over when he is ready..."

Barto cursed loudly, and drew out his long sword with a choke sound, and the entire convoy suddenly became tense.

This **** is also a bureau!

He pulled the rein and turned the horse's head, shouting loudly: "Go, go, I don't want anything!"

Most of the mercenaries in charge of escorting supplies are young and strong who can't get along in the city. They don't want to work hard in exchange for three meals a day. They think that they can become masters one day and join various forces. is the only way out.Perhaps in the eyes of people in other cities, these young people are hopeless, and even if they are starving, they cannot join these underground forces to do evil, but here, in Ortrenburg, becoming a member of a certain force, instead It's something to keep the whole family happy.

Having a child in the family walk on this road means that you can avoid the protection money extorted by street gangsters all day long, and you can also avoid the insults that women in your family may encounter when they go out, and you still have a sufficient salary every month .In the imperial capital, it is worth celebrating for a child to be successfully admitted to the Imperial College of Higher Education, but here, being selected by those big shots as a subordinate is like being admitted to a higher college.

These young people were still in a state of ignorance, they subconsciously drew their long swords, followed Barto's instructions, turned their horses around or ran away.As for why, they don't know, and dare not ask.

In the dark night, the knights holding torches didn't seem to have any intention of speeding up. Instead, they held torches and surrounded the two carriages.One of them, wearing the captain's armband, pointed to the first carriage and said, "Open it!"

The two soldiers dismounted from their horses, raised their long swords to smash the lock, and opened several boxes with a tug.Inside are some ordinary goods, such as clothes and spices needed for daily life, and a few odds and ends of gold jewelry.The two city guards handed the gold jewelry to the squad leader. The squad leader hesitated for a moment, and left two rings inlaid with broken gemstones, which looked pretty delicate, and put them in his arms, and threw the rest to the squad leader. "Go back and change the money, and share it with everyone."

Every knight grinned. Of course, they knew very well that this was not the captain's style. What he did now was to win over his subordinates and support the captain when he was competing for the city defense officer.Anyway, who do you work for?Get the benefits first.

The team leader pointed to the clothes, spices, etc., "These may be stolen goods, take them back and keep them under strict surveillance." In fact, these things will eventually be divided up after they are taken back. If the owners of these goods are not willing to face a huge amount If there is a loss, part of the money can be used to redeem these goods and sell them again.Although you won't make much money and may lose a little by doing this, it's better than nothing.

These are unspoken rules that have long been a practice. If you follow it, you come, and if you don’t, you leave. Ortrenburg has no reason to say.

When the team leader pointed to the second carriage, when the two city defense army team members cut off the lock and opened the box as before, everyone's glasses were wide open and they swallowed dryly.

In the smallest box, a cleansed head was placed upright on a delicate gilt shelf, the gray-white eyes were wide open, and the skin had completely lost its blood color, turning blue-gray.

It's Poole's head!
……

It was already late at night. At this time before, most people would choose to sleep if they were not in a casino or a technical service center.Ortrenburg is a place lacking in the entertainment industry, and it is difficult to compare with a highly developed city like the imperial capital.The only entertainment here in the dark is gambling, happiness, and making people, which is often chosen by ordinary people.Of course, you can also choose to do nothing, comfortably listening to the cold wind outside the window, while lying in the warm bed and enjoying the most rare comfort.

But today, in the whole city, anyone who has a little bit of status and whose words can be heard in the city will gather in the huge living room of the City Lord's Mansion at this very moment.A few chandeliers with cured lighting techniques illuminated the entire hall brightly, the wrinkles squeezed out of everyone's faces due to ugly smiles, and the fine lines on the forehead when they were worried were all clearly illuminated.Alma was wearing a flaxen dress and sat in the first seat on the left of the guest seat. She was holding a teacup and whispering with Harvey who was next door to her.

Many people are looking at this woman intentionally or unintentionally, and almost everyone who is well-informed knows that this woman has taken refuge in the City Lord's Mansion and has become a member of the City Lord's Mansion.They were outraged by Alma's behavior, which was a red flag of betrayal, a betrayal of everyone, of Ortrenburg tradition.But more or less, there is also a trace of envy in these people's hearts, a trace of jealousy.The strength of the City Lord's Mansion is growing day by day, and it is no longer possible to treat the City Lord's Mansion and the City Lord with old eyes.

If he can curry favor with this young big man at this time, maybe he will have some chance in the future?

The group of them gathered here because what happened today was really eye-opening.The robbery and murder in the casino, and then the officer of the city defense army fell to his death from a horse. At least everyone felt that the idea of ​​falling to his death from a horse was acceptable in terms of face, and it was better than being bitten to death by a dog.Then the captain of the guard disappeared, and when he was found, he had already turned into several large corpses. The most unbelievable thing was that the murderer was the fierce Sword and Shield mercenary group.

Scenes of the legendary drama are overwhelming, and many people have not recovered yet.In an instant, the most important forces in the city disappeared, and one of the two remaining forces joined the City Lord's Mansion, and the other seemed to cooperate with the City Lord's Mansion.This suddenly made many people tremble with fear. Even if they tried to use their stupid dog brains, they could still find the problem.

Those who have a good relationship with the city lord are still alive, and everyone else is dead.

Thinking of this, there are always some people who can't sit or stand, and the stove in the hall can't dispel the deep chill on their bodies.

After a while, Ren came in from the side door in formal attire, and Blair followed behind him with a long sword, staring at everyone in the hall, as if they were all the enemies of the mayor.

Ren took a glance and sat down directly. Alma and Harvey looked at Ren with awe in their eyes. As for the others, it seemed that they didn't even dare to meet Ren's gaze.

"It's because I didn't think well enough to invite everyone here so late this evening."

Ren's tone was very gentle, as if he was narrating gently in someone's ear, without a trace of arrogance and domineering belonging to the city lord, just like an ordinary relative or friend.

"Don't dare..., I will get up from the bed even in the middle of the night if the city lord invites you."

"How? I just feel honored!"

"My lord, you are too polite!"

Seeing the leaders of many forces who saluted and expressed their humbleness at the same time, Ren twitched his lips.He remembered how arrogant and domineering they were when they first came to this city.They joked about Ren and took pleasure in exposing his scars, and they didn't even pay attention to him, the young city lord.At that time, in their cognition, Ren was actually no different from a clown.

But now, look at these guys, they're going to rejoice with Wren's joy, be terrified with Wren's wrath, be upset with Wren's displeasure.They are like dolls in Ren's hands, being careful and trying their best to please him.

This is the charm of power!
