Chapter 1122.
Originally, Ren Xiaosu thought that the caravan would become even more depressed because of this bandit attack, but to his surprise, those in the caravan not only didn’t become depressed, but instead, they laughed and laughed.
On the very night that Qian Weining repelled the bandits, many of them even sang and danced, as if to celebrate this victory.
Even the two Sheepmen joined in.
Ren Xiaosu asked Li Chengrui, “Aren’t you even worried that there will be bandits attacking us next?”
And Li Chengrui, this iron naive, replied, “With a divine archer like Chairman Qian around, what do we have to worry about?”
At this moment, Qian Weining had become the hero of the entire merchant team, or the superhero kind.
It had to be said that the people of this Sorcerer’s Kingdom were a bit more optimistic than the people of Middle Earth, even a bit outrageously optimistic.
The evening revelry lasted for four hours, and in those four hours hundreds of people wanted to go and toast Qian Weining, but fortunately Qian Weining himself was sober and didn t drink a single drop of …… wine.
Taking advantage of the crowd’s revelry, Qian Weining found Meigo alone, he glanced at Ren Xiaosu and then said to Meigo, “Honorable Lord Meigo, there are some things I would like to talk to you about alone.”
Mei Ge knew that Qian Wei Ning was trying to get himself to detach Ren Xiaosu, but he shook his head and said, “Don’t worry about my own followers, if there’s something you want to talk about, just say it in front of the two of us, there’s no need to avoid it.”
Qian Weining hesitated for a moment and eventually said, “Lord Meiguo, I suspect that when the bandits came to attack, someone was secretly helping us, before we figure out the identity of the other party, please keep it quiet for now.”
Ren Xiaosu skimmed Qian Weining from the side, saying that this Chamber of Commerce vice president’s sense of smell was quite sharp, and that he had actually detected ……
However, Qian Weining avoided the thousands of people in the merchant fleet to whisper, but accurately said all of his thoughts to the head honcho Xiaosu, it was also not easy.
Meigo, on the other hand, was puzzled: ”Someone is secretly helping us? Where does Chairman Qian start with that?”
“To say it Lord Meigo may not believe it,” Qian Weining said, “I know in my own heart what level my archery skills are, with my archery skills I may be able to hit 80% of the hits, but it’s absolutely impossible to hit 100%!”
On the side, Ren Xiaosu’s expression was odd, he thought to himself, “You call this your own heart? You know what the hell ah!
The old Xu help Qian Weining to shape the reputation of the sharpshooter in the process, Ren Xiaosu is very sure that the other party in the night of the hitting rate of even the damn 10% are not.
At first, Ren Xiaosu thought that this Qian Weining really have self-awareness, the results of their own or overestimated each other.
Mei Ge thought for a moment and said: ”President Qian, a hit rate of 80% in the dark is already very impressive, so why be presumptuous? Look at this personal follower of mine, he can’t even open a bow and shoot an arrow, he can’t even get on the target within five meters, you’re much better than him.”
Qian Weining hesitated for a moment and said, “…… That’s true.”
Ren Xiaosu sneered as he watched these two men, but never said a word from start to finish.
Meigo said, “Who does Chairman Qian think might be helping us?”
“I’m not sure,” Chairman Qian looked at Meigo seriously, “Is it you, Lord Meigo? I guess only a sorcerer would have such means.”
Meigo shook his head, “It wasn’t me, I didn’t make a move during your fight.”
“That’s strange,” Qian Weining bowed his head in contemplation, “Who would help us but hide their identity, and for what purpose?”
On the side, Ren Xiaosu said, “Why don’t you, Chairman Qian, open up and tell us what you’re going to do in Ghent City and who the enemy is, so that we can help you analyze it?”
As a result, Qian Weining fell into hesitation upon hearing this, and when the two Sheepmen returned from their revelry, he abruptly excused himself, “It’s getting late, Lord Mego take an early rest.”
“Playing God,” Ren Xiaosu looked at Meigo with a leathery smile, “Who do you think this bastard is really wary of?”
“That’s not clear, you also know that I left Yorkshire for two years, and this Chairman Qian only came to Yorkshire in the last two years,” Meigo said.
Ren Xiaosu pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, “How is the relationship between the Berkeley family and the great wizard family in the capital city? I remember you said that the Berkeley family controls six counties in the south, and four of those counties are the top grand counties of the Wizard Kingdom, right?”
“That’s right,” said Mego, “But the Berkeley family has always been a party of vassals, I haven’t heard that they have any dealings with the Capitol, and people from their family rarely go to the Capitol. I used to hear when my family was still in the Capitol that the Berkeley teens were a bit out of place there.”
“That’s the problem,” Ren Xiaosu said thoughtfully.
When the chaotic times came, ambitious people could smell the rotten scent of the dynasty, thus breeding huge ambitions.
Ren Xiaosu had only just come to the Sorcerer Kingdom not long ago, and he had seen so many sights of people living in poverty, and these sights had even made him think that the Sorcerer Kingdom had already been pulled far away from the 178 Fortress.
If one assumes that the Sorcerer Dynasty is about to change and the power will change, then what kind of role will the Berkeley family play in this chaotic world?
The land of lords was born to be the soil for cultivating lords.
Ren Xiaosu asked again, “What about the Berkeley family’s armament?”
“The Berkeley Family’s Burning Knights have always been one of the top armies within the kingdom,” said Mego, “None of this is a secret, and the number of Burning Knights has been increasing over the years.”
“I probably understand then,” Ren Xiaosu said, “But I still have to look for clues to see if I can corroborate my suspicions.”
“What did you find?” Mei Ge asked.
Ren Xiaosu casually pointed to a spot where young men and women were singing and dancing, “I’m afraid that Qian Weining has seized more than a hundred longbows from the bandits, and yesterday he distributed thirty of them to these young men, and I suddenly realized that these men were very skilled in opening their bows, and didn’t at all look like they were touching a longbow for the first time.”
“Yes, touching a longbow for the first time should be similar to you,” Meigo said seriously.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at Meigo in surprise, “It can be.”
“And I can’t just let you choke me can I?” Mei Ge said with a smile.
Ren Xiaosu didn’t intend to ignore him, but continued, “You told me before that bows and arrows are contraband, so where did these young people come into contact with bows and arrows?”
“You suspect that they came from the military?” Mego said.
“It’s not doubt, but certainty,” Ren Xiaosu looked at the group of young men and thought to himself that out of the more than a thousand people that made up the merchant caravan, he was afraid that half of them came from the military brigade, and that all they had to do was to disguise themselves as civilians and talk about the prosperity and ideals of the big cities, and then bring war to those big cities.
