sleep forever

Hearing the hostility and anger in Claude's words, Chen Xiansong looked at the other party in a puzzled manner, not understanding what he meant when he said that. Confused about everything, he quickly dropped the shovel, ran to Chen Xiansong's ear, and told the general things.

Hearing that those people came to assassinate him, the result was indeed as Claude said, indirectly killing many people.

Chen Xiansong was very guilty in his heart. He looked at the corpses in the distance quietly for a while, and then asked softly: "Balfe, I heard that the association will give a pension to those who died in the battle and those who were seriously injured. We Add one more, I remember we still have a sum of money left in the association, take it out, and put it down three times the amount of the association. This is my identity certificate, please come to Qingxi City to handle this matter Come here again."

Balfe held Chen Xiansong's soul meditator Wenzhang, and said cautiously: "Three times the amount, isn't it too much?"

"Go." Chen Xiansong said softly.

Seeing that Chen Xiansong had made up his mind, Balfe didn't say any more, and directly took two or three people on horseback and rushed to Qingxi City.

The surrounding guards are all very strong, so their hearing is quite good. After hearing what Chen Xiansong said, they felt a little more moved.In the job of guarding, once a person fails, the family will lose a pillar of support. Although the pension from the association is expensive, it is only a temporary relief, but it is three times the amount added by Chen Xiansong. A total of four times the pension, is not a small amount.

Calculated in this way, the family members of the dead can get about [-] gold coins, and the seriously injured can get about [-] gold coins.With these two sums of money, being a guard does not eat or drink every month. The former takes about five years, and the latter takes two years.Even if there is no pillar in the family, with this small sum of money, ordinary people can live frugally, and even a few more can go out to start a small business, and the family can eat, drink and live for decades.

In this dark age, not many people are afraid of death, they are only afraid that if they die, their family members will suffer.

It's just that some people are dissatisfied with such after-the-fact appeasement measures. Claude said slowly, "Your Excellency, do you think people are dead, so what's the use of more money? Can you buy their lives back? I hope you can Do it more sincerely!"

Claude's words "did not arouse any sympathy from others, in this dark time money" noble status is high.Chen Xiansong's behavior is actually very "close to the people" and "kind." If it were any other nobles with no conscience, they might even find excuses to deduct their pensions.

Chen Xiansong looked back at Claude: "Please tell me, what should I do?"

This question was asked by Chen Xiansong sincerely. After all, it was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He felt that he might not be considerate in handling it. It's just that when he asked the question, his tone was too low and Or, Claude has a deep prejudice against Chen Xiansong, and when the other party heard this, he thought he was being sarcastic.

"How to do that is something you should consider. I'm just making some suggestions." Claude dropped this sentence dryly, and then returned to his carriage.Now there is only one guard left who he brought, looking at the empty space around the carriage, and thinking about how he hugged himself when he left, he hammered the carriage hard with his fist.

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by many people.Some people hope that Chen Xiansong can give some more gold coins. No one likes money, but some people are worried that if what Claude said annoys Chen Xiansong, not only will they not add more money, but they will also take back three times the gold coins What to do!After all, in this era, nobles have the right to life and death over civilians, which has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The guards stood under their feet, using their eyes and body to communicate in secret language. In the end, the rational faction prevailed. Three times the pension is already very good. If people are too greedy, they will often be in bad luck. Especially to snatch food from the "Garfield" of nobles is even more dangerous behavior.

Udyr naturally also saw the situation of the two of them in his eyes. He was naturally inclined to his own student, but Claude was his old friend's student, so it was difficult for him to persuade him.He was in favor of Chen Xiansong's move to triple the pension, and felt that he was a kind-hearted student and a good boy.

No one wants their relatives and friends to be a heartless person. If he can be good to outsiders, he will be better to his own people.Any normal person would think this, no one is stupid.

After listening to Claude's words, Chen Xiansong thought for a while, but did not come to a conclusion, so he went to Udyr to find the answer.

Hearing Chen Xiansong's slightly distressed question, Claude became more and more sure that this is a child who was isolated from the world and raised by educational methods.Sometimes he is extremely ignorant of some common sense things, but in terms of knowledge, he is higher than almost everyone Udyr has seen, or even comparable to the president Artemis.

"My child, the problem you are troubled with does not actually exist." Udyr pointed to the guard beside him: "Yu Qing, they are members of the association, they work for the association, and it is their duty to risk their lives: Yu Li, you It is the soul thinker, the protection of the soul thinker, and it is the job of all mercenaries, even civilians. Maybe you will think I am arrogant, but part of the knowledge that appears in this world now is The Sun Temple flows out, and the other part is the credit of our soul thinkers."

"The whole human race is like a huge flock of sheep, and our association and the Temple of the Sun are the leading sheep inside, responsible for leading the lambs to the rich and beautiful grassland. Along the way, we will meet lone wolves, ferocious animals like Garfield , while they will sacrifice themselves, use their flesh and blood to satisfy the beast's appetite, and protect us, so as to ensure that the whole flock can walk on the right path.

This is their fate. "

Chen Xiansong always thought that Udyr was very kind, but after hearing these words, he finally realized that Udyr had a kind of indifference that saw through the messy things in the world.

Similar theories also exist in the 22nd century, and Chen Xiansong has also read them. For example, there are similar questions: A great scientist who can promote human progress is in danger. In order to save him, he may sacrifice a hundred civilians, and vice versa. Of course.The question is very clichéd, if you are an important member of the Commonwealth government, will you save the people on that side, great scientists, or 100 people.

This question was raised in the 200th century, but the content and characters are slightly different. It was finally classified as a "false proposition" after more than 22 years of discussion, because in that case, what to do is actually right, and at the same time It is also wrong, this is a contradiction in itself.Finally, in the [-]nd century, philosophers divided them into the rational school and the emotional school, claiming that no matter which one is chosen, it is correct, and no one needs to feel guilty and uneasy about their choice.

According to this statement, Udyr should be a member of the rational school, while Chen Xiansong is inclined to the emotional school.

It is easy for rational people to understand one thing, but it is much more difficult for emotional people.Although after listening to Udyr's persuasion, Chen Xiansong's feeling of guilt improved slightly, but he still had a knot in his heart that he couldn't get rid of.

After all, I killed them.This kind of psychology more or less existed in Chen Xiansong's mind.

After about three hours, the convoy from Qingxi City finally arrived.Unexpectedly, Suoxi, the head of the Qingxi City Association, was also in the crowd.He first got to know the situation with Udyr, and then ran to visit his disciple. After seeing that he was safe and sound, his tense expression really relaxed.

Originally, Udyr planned to spend the night here, but Suoxi said, "No one knows if those people are still nearby. You can escape unharmed. Only some guards died. It is already very fatal. If the enemy It will be hard to tell if you attack at night while you are sleeping. Old friend, you go back to Qingxi City with me first, stay a few more days, and calm down. I will call two hundred top mercenaries to escort you along the way. Go to Wangcheng, let me see who dares to touch you again."

When he said this, there was a kind of cold sternness in Suoxi's eyes: "How dare you touch our soul thinker, the person behind the instigation, is the person who eats shit so stupid that even the Temple of the Sun and They can do things that even the Dragon Clan would not know how to do, how courageous they are!"

Udyr felt that what the other party said made sense, safety first.He thought for a while, and agreed.

The corpse collector brought by Suoxi moved all the corpses of the guards onto the cart, pushed them with his hands, and walked slowly towards Qingxi City.Chen Xiansong was sitting in the carriage, looking very disappointed. Bai Min watched from the side, her little face wrinkled with worry. She knew that for a natural person, such emotions hurt the body, but she didn't know how to persuade him , In her brain chip, there is no such knowledge reserve as psychological enlightenment.

Because the corpses were transported by ordinary manpower carts, they walked very slowly this time, and when they returned to Qingxi City, it was already midnight.As for Claude, he made his only remaining subordinate to hurry up very early on, and took a step ahead.

There were many people standing outside the gate of Qingxi City, with dozens of torches held high.

In this battle, 14 guards died, seven of whom were Claude's subordinates, local mercenaries from Qingxi City.Their family members received the news in the afternoon and waited here early.

The two parties contacted, and the family members of Qingxi City rushed into the team. It didn't take long for the mournful cries to ring out.

Sitting in the carriage, Chen Xiansong's mood had already eased a lot, but when he heard these cries, he suddenly became even more depressed.Seeing this situation, Alex, who was driving the car, increased the strength of his horsewhip, wanting to enter the city quickly so as to leave this disturbing place.

Claude, who came back early, stood on the city wall, looking down at the convoy below, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

When Alex was about to enter the city in his carriage, two women suddenly rushed out from the side and rushed in front of the horse.

Alex was so frightened that he pulled the rein hard, and the carriage almost ran into the two people.

And the two women rolled on the spot and cried: "You plague god cursed by the devil, if it weren't for you, my husband Jack wouldn't have died. I don't want to live anymore. You should trample me to death too." , I don't want to live anymore." a.
