Mount and Blade
Chapter 79 The nobles’ ‘gift’
............
He quickly put on another shabby cloak in the space, which was a pilgrim's costume. To be honest, it looked much better than this group of refugees. However, there were still quite a few refugees wearing thick clothes, or they originally had, Or just pick out a few more pieces from dead people and wear them, which are just patches.
I heard that Master Laban and Yuris are going to give porridge to the refugee area in the city starting today. After the porridge is given this morning, the temporary tents in the city will have to be moved outside the city, otherwise they will be too much in the way if a war breaks out. Of course, if the Joda people also come calling in the middle of winter, they will have no choice but to wait and see their fate before they have time to escape.
Early in the morning, the refugees were standing on the street one after another, occupying a good position in front of the porridge shed and queuing up. Green also smoothly blended in. It was just dawn, and those who came to queue were all those with thicker clothes. and the woman holding the child. I did not see the arrogant and domineering villains in the front row. Some refugees were still talking about it, but it was normal for these villains to get up later.
Green looked for Best and others in the crowd. Best soon saw Green and waved him over.
"Where did your child run around? It's really uneasy to worry about the chaos outside." Best said in a relatively gentle tone, like a loving elder who was worried about the children at home.
"..."
Green walked over to him and squatted down next to him, acting quite like that. If he hadn't lived an extra life, he would have thought it was good for himself.
Best's keen sense of smell smelled a hint of blood, and he looked at Green with an evil look. As the man following Cady, there was no doubt about his ability.
"...What did you do again? I smelled it."
The nose is really good. Green was not prepared to answer him.
"Remember to take a shower when you go back. No matter what you do, it's best not to affect today's mission, otherwise you know the consequences."
Best said this just because Green accidentally saved the prince last time. If there was any special situation, he would still report it to Cady. If the mess Green made was not a big deal, he wouldn't mind helping Green clean it up once. butt.

The sky is getting brighter and it’s morning in a blink of an eye.
As the gate of the castle slowly opened, guards were guarding the left and right. The leader was Lord Laban, and on both sides were Yuris and Bulkan, the lord of Orr Castle.
After many discussions, the final decision was that driving the refugees out of the city was the safest way. Because of the frequent riots recently, the safety of the residents in the city could not be compromised because of pity for them. After all, the lord's main tax revenue depends on the surrounding areas of the city. of fort residents.
Today, in order to appease the restless mood of the refugees, the nobles above humbly followed Laban and others to the city to give soup. At the same time, they also wanted to gain a good reputation among the noble circles of Midland.
"Lord Laban..." "Lord Lord..."
"Mercy noble gentlemen, please give more porridge..." The refugees around were crowded, and in their blank and empty eyes, the desire for life had risen to the extreme.
"Get out of the way, if you get your hands dirty, see how I deal with you!!"
"Back off, back off! Wait in line, do you still want to receive the porridge?!" The guards drove the refugees away, looking at the gleaming swords and spears, even though they wanted to rush forward to beg for more food, they still cowered. Went back, endured the hunger and tightened our clothes, and lined up in an orderly manner.
"What? It's obviously me who was lined up here just now, get out!!" "It's obviously me!!"
Because of the commotion just now, some people's ranks were already in disarray, and it was already difficult to stand back. Even the people standing there refused to give in to each other, and they soon started fighting together.
"Damn it, do you want the old man to laugh?"
Soon, in order not to embarrass the refugees, the guards went up to arrest them without hesitation and greeted them with sticks. In order to quickly calm down the chaotic crowd, many guards directly hit them on the back of the head.
At this time, the place where the nobles cannot see will only become darker than before, and this is just to avoid staining the eyes of the nobles.
After seeing the guards' methods, the crowd quickly calmed down and stopped rioting. They lined up honestly. After all, the nobles had come forward and they would have something to eat, so they wouldn't worry about such a trivial matter. Put your life on the line.
Of course, there are also those who secretly push people aside so that they are beaten to death by guards, and then secretly laugh in a twisted way, look, this is what happens when you compete with me for a position.
"I believe everyone already knows that the tents outside the city have been set up. After the porridge is distributed today, everyone will move to the outside of the city. Please be patient and queue up to receive the porridge in an orderly manner."
Seeing that the crowd had calmed down the commotion, Laban spoke and went into the porridge shed to prepare porridge for everyone with his own hands. Bulkan and Yuris were attacking Laban, and a dozen white dragon knights and a dozen Asians were there. Knight Crow and twenty or thirty guards were guarding around them. Other nobles also entered the porridge shed to prepare porridge themselves. There were also dozens of private guards around to look after the porridge shed.
In fact, most of this group of nobles would only do it for a while and then ask their servants to do it for them. They would not be condescending and do such hard work all the time. They just wanted to do it.
The crowd also cheered in an orderly manner for the generosity of Lord Laban and the nobles. They lined up in front of the porridge stall with their bowls and expectant faces, as if a group of devout believers were waiting for the nobles' gifts.
Of course, this was only what the nobles saw. They thought they were well governed under their shrewd policies and the refugees were so grateful. However, in places they could not see, there was such real blood and darkness. Right under their feet, there were those secrets that could not be told.
The funny thing was that the nobles never looked down at their feet. At their feet, a series of human performances intertwined with blood and death were being staged, but unfortunately they could not see it.
The group of refugees was moving forward little by little. Judging from the expressions of those who received the porridge, today's rye porridge was much thicker than before, and there were a few pieces of meat floating in it, which was completely different from what Green saw yesterday.
As the crowd moved, Green followed Best's footsteps and moved forward. The crowd was very crowded and would be dispersed if they were not careful. Best held Green's wrist tightly to prevent him from being dispersed. Green had a high probability of success in this mission because children were inconspicuous and the easiest to succeed.
Looking at the people around Best and the others exchanging glances, Green tightened the bandage wrapped around his face again and checked the dagger on his waist. Although it was not the first time he did such a shameful thing, his hands were still cold due to the influence of adrenaline. Although he had not slept all night, he was still very energetic.
Absolutely can't show your face. Their mission is to assassinate the lord of Or City or Yuris. Looking at the porridge shed that is getting closer and closer, I don't know why Laban is not on Kadi's list. Maybe it's interesting because Laban is watching the two countries fight.
Kadi will not directly participate in this operation, because if the mission fails, he can continue to lie dormant, not to mention that Kadi does not think this operation is worth his personal action.
