Hearing the hostility and anger in Claude's words, Chen Xiansong looked at the other party with some confusion, not understanding what he meant. Balff saw this situation next to him and knew that his master had committed anything again, he was confused. He quickly threw down the shovel, ran to Chen Xiansong's ear, and told the general matter.
When I heard that those people came to assassinate him, the result was indeed, as Claude said, indirectly killing many people.
Chen Xiansong felt guilty. He quietly looked at the corpse in the distance for a while, and then asked softly: "Balf, I heard that the association will give a pension to those who died in battle and seriously injured. Let's add another one. I remember that we still have a sum of money to stay in the association and withdraw it, and pay it three times the amount of the association. This is my identity certificate. Please go to Qingxi City to get this done before coming over."
Holding Chen Xiansong's soul-thinkering emblem, Balff said carefully: "Isn't three times the amount too much?"
"Go." Chen Xiansong said softly.
Seeing that Chen Xiansong had made up his mind, Balph didn't say anything more, and directly took two or three people to the Qingxi City.
The guards around them are very strong, so they have very good ears. After hearing Chen Xiansong's words, they felt a little more grateful. In the guard industry, once the person falls, there will be quite few pillars in the family. Although the association's pension is expensive, it can only solve the urgent problem, but with the additional three times the amount Chen Xiansong adds, there will be a total of four times the pension, which is a considerable amount.
In this way, the dead family can get about fifty gold coins, and the seriously injured can get about twenty gold coins. These two sums of money can be used as guards every month. The former takes about five years, while the latter takes two years. Even if there is no pillar at home, ordinary people can save money and go out to do some small business even if they can eat, drink and wear for decades.
In this dark era, not many people are afraid of death. They are afraid that they will die and their families will suffer.
But someone was not satisfied with such post-comfort measures. Claude slowly said: "Your Excellency, what's the use of sending some money when people are dead? Can they buy their lives back? I hope you can do it more sincerely!"
Claude's words did not arouse any empathy from others. In this dark age, the status of aristocrats was high. Chen Xiansong's behavior was actually very "people-friendly" and "kind". If it were other nobles who had no conscience, they might even find excuses to deduct the pension.
Chen Xiansong looked back at Claude: "Please tell me what should I do?"
Chen Xiansong asked this sincerely. After all, it was the first time he encountered such a thing. When dealing with it, he felt that he might not be considerate. However, when he asked, his tone was too low, or perhaps Claude had a deep prejudice against Chen Xiansong. When the other party heard this, he thought he was sarcastic.
"How to do it is something you should consider. I just make some suggestions." Claude threw down this sentence dryly and returned to his carriage. Now the guard he brought was only one person left. Looking at the empty situation around the carriage, and thinking about the rushing and urging when he set off, he hammered the carriage with his boxer.
Many people could hear the conversation between the two clearly. Some people hoped that Chen Xiansong could give more gold coins, and who would not like money, but some people were worried that what if Claude said angered Chen Xiansong, not only did he not add money, but he also took back three times of the gold coins! After all, in this era, the nobles had the right to kill civilians, which was deeply rooted in people's hearts.
In private, the guards communicated with their own eyes and body secrets, but in the end, the rationalists took the upper hand. It was already good to pay three times the pension. If people were too greedy, they would often be in trouble, especially in the aristocrats' "Garfield" who snatched food from the mouths of food, which was even more dangerous.
Udir naturally took the situation of the two, and he naturally favored his students. However, Claude was a disciple of his old friend, so he was not easy to persuade him. He agreed with Chen Xiansong's behavior of paying three times the pension, and even felt that he was kind-hearted and a good child.
No one wants his relatives and friends to be heartless. He can be good to outsiders and better to his own people. Any normal person will think of this, and no one is stupid.
After listening to Claude's words, Chen Xiansong thought for a while, but without drawing a conclusion, he went to Udir to find the answer.
When he heard Chen Xiansong's slightly distressed question, Claude became more and more convinced that this was a child who was isolated from the world since childhood and was trained by educational methods. Sometimes he was extremely ignorant of some common sense things, but in terms of knowledge, he was higher than almost everyone Udir had ever seen, or even comparable to President Artemis.
"Child, the problem you are troubled about does not exist." Udir pointed to the guard next to him: "Yuqing, they are a member of the association. It is their duty to work for the association. Yuli, you are a soul-thinker, protect the soul-thinker, and the responsibility of all mercenaries and even civilians. Maybe you will think I am arrogant, but part of the knowledge that appears in this world is flowing out of the Sun Temple, and the other part is the credit of our soul-thinker."
"The whole human being is like a huge flock, and our association and the Temple of the Sun are the heads of the sheep, responsible for leading the lambs to the rich and fertile grassland. Along the way, we will encounter ferocious animals such as lone wolf and Garfield, and they will sacrifice themselves to satisfy the appetite of beasts with their flesh and blood, protect us, so as to ensure that the entire flock can walk on the right path. This is their destiny."
Chen Xiansong always thought Udir was very kind, but after hearing this, he finally realized that Udir had a coldness that saw through the messy things in the world.
Similar theories also existed in the 22nd century, and Chen Xiansong also saw them. For example, there is a similar question: 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. The problem is cliché. If you are a member of the consortium government, you will save the people on that side, the great scientist, or a hundred people.
This question was raised in the 20th century, but the content and characters were slightly different. Finally, it was discussed for more than two hundred years before it was classified as a "false proposition", because in that case, it was actually right and wrong, which was originally a contradictory issue. Finally, in the 22nd century, philosophers divided it into rationalists and sentimentalists, claiming that no matter which choice is right, no one needs to feel guilt and uneasy about his choice.
According to this statement, Udir should be a member of the rational school, while Chen Xiansong tends to be a sentimental school.
It is easy for rational people to make a thorough understanding of one thing, but it is much more difficult for emotional people. Although Chen Xiansong's guilty mood improved a little after listening to Udir's persuasion, he still had a knot in his heart that he could not get rid of it.
After all, I killed them. This kind of psychology exists more or less in Chen Xiansong's mind.
It was about three hours later that the convoy from Qingxi City finally arrived. Surprisingly, the president of Qingxi City Association Soxi was also in the crowd. He first learned about the situation with Udir, and then ran to visit his disciples. After seeing him safe and sound, his tense expression really relaxed.
Originally, Udir planned to spend the night here, but Sosi said: "No one knows whether that group of people is still nearby. You can escape the disaster. You have only died some guards. It is already very life-threatening. If the enemy attacks at night while you are sleeping at night, the situation will be hard to tell. Old friend, you go back to Qingxi City with me first, stay for a few more days, and I will summon two hundred top mercenaries to escort you all the way to the royal city. I see who dares to touch you again."
As he said this, there was a cold hostility in Soxi's eyes: "The one who dared to touch our souls and thoughtful, the person who was instructed behind him was so stupid that he could not even do something that the Sun Temple and the Dragon Clan could not do... Humph, he is so brave!"
Udir felt that what the other party said was reasonable, safety first. He thought about it for a while and then agreed.
The corpse-retainer brought by Soxi moved all the corpses of the guards to the cart, pushed them with his hands, and slowly walked towards Qingxi City. Chen Xiansong was sitting in the cart, looking very disappointed. Bai Min looked at it, worried that his little face wrinkled. She knew that for natural people, such emotions were very harmful to their bodies, but she didn't know how to persuade them. There was no knowledge reserve of psychological guidance in her brain chip.
Because the person who transported the corpses was an ordinary human push cart, this time they walked very slowly, and by the time they returned to Qingxi City, it was already midnight. As for Claude, he had already asked his only remaining subordinates to rush forward and take the lead.
There were many people standing outside the entrance of Qingxi City, with dozens of torches held high.
During this battle, the number of guards was fourteen, seven of which were under Claude and local mercenaries in Qingxi City. Their families received the news in the afternoon and waited here early.
When the two sides contacted, the families of Qingxi City rushed into the team. Not long after, the grief cried out.
Chen Xiansong was sitting in the carriage and his mood had already relieved a lot, but when he heard these crying, he suddenly became even deeper. When Alex, who was driving the carriage, saw this situation, he increased the strength of the horse whip and wanted to enter the city quickly so that he could leave this place where people felt restless.
Cloud, who came back early, stood on the city wall, looking down at the convoy below, with a sneer on his lips.
When Alex was about to enter the city in a carriage, two women suddenly rushed out from beside him and rushed to the front of the horse.
Alex was so scared that he pulled the reins hard that the carriage almost hit the two of them.
