【gentleman……】

I repeated these two words helplessly, lying on the bed and closing my eyes.

The next morning, after having breakfast, I left the village with some bread that Lucius gave me, and walked towards the direction of the nearest city that Lucius pointed out to me.

When leaving, Mira hid behind Lucius, looked at me resentfully, made my back feel hairy, and left the village quickly.

I don't dare to stay any longer, although I'm a little reluctant to part with such a cute girl, but I can't stand her asking me to take her away!It would be wrong to be labeled as a human trafficker!

After leaving the village and walking a few hundred meters forward, I saw a group of soldiers walking towards the village.

"Soldier?"

When I looked back, there were about ten of them. Could it be that they were the soldiers who came to collect taxes as Lucius said?

Didn't you say it would take a while to come?Lucius and the others haven't collected enough money yet, what will happen if they don't pay enough?

Seeing this group of soldiers made me hesitate, should I go back?

If I don't go back, the village might suffer. Looking at Lucius and the others, I can tell that the soldiers from Wangcheng don't think well of them.

But if I go back, what can I do?Is it possible to kill them with a gun?Judging from their appearance, they don't seem to be able to use magic, and it shouldn't feel good to be shot.

And with a pistol, can I beat ten people?If you want me to kill people...it's too crazy. In the original world, I haven't even had a real fight. How can I kill people?

"so troublesome!"

While I was thinking, the soldier had long since disappeared, so I turned and chased after him.

Lucius and the others definitely didn't raise enough money to pay those soldiers. If they suffer because of this, at least I will intercede for them and the soldiers. At least they let me stay for one night and let me eat there. At least I have to repay them.

When I ran to the village, the soldiers had already clashed with the villagers!

"Damn! It's late!"

I cursed and ran over.

"I beg you, don't do this! We must raise enough money! Besides, it's not even tax time yet!"

Lucius knelt on the ground and grabbed the soldier's clothes, crying and begging.

Mira also knelt aside and grabbed Lucius's hem, crying.

Unable to receive money, the soldiers began smashing things in the village and killing livestock.

The villagers dared not speak out, so they could only stand aside silently, or kneel on the ground begging the soldiers for mercy.

"Brother, these villagers are indeed poor. How about giving them two more days?"

I walked over, gave Lucius and Mira a look, and said to the soldiers with a smile on my face.

Seeing me pleading, the soldier glanced at me and turned around.

"This is Minister Gardner's will, do you want to go against it?"

The soldier said disdainfully and pushed me away.

My physique was not considered strong, but I was pushed hard by a strong soldier and fell to the ground.

Seeing me being pushed down, Mira and Lucius hurried over to help me up.

"Paying taxes is the obligation of everyone in this country. As for how much to collect and the penalty for not paying, you all know in your own minds, right?"

The soldier snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, other soldiers continued to smash things in the village.

I was pushed to the ground, a surge of anger welled up in my heart, and I wanted to draw a gun immediately, but thinking of Mira and the others behind me, I suppressed my anger.Stand up and continue to smile.

"Let's make allowances, how about just one day, just one day? By this time tomorrow, I must pay the full amount!"

"Why are you so annoying?"

Seeing that I didn't learn the lesson, the soldier came to intercede again, pushed me away again, and pulled out the saber from his waist.

This time I wasn't pushed down by him, I just took a few steps back to stabilize my figure.

"Looking at your attire, you should be a noble from another country, right? Do you know the consequences of forcibly interfering in other countries' affairs?"

The cold light of the soldier's sword reflected in my eyes, making my hands tremble a little.

This is the first time I have seen this kind of cold weapon at such a close distance, this kind of sword that has been sharpened and even seen blood.

[Chen Tong, your heart rate is too fast, please calm down as soon as possible]

[To put it simply, I am an ordinary citizen. It is not clear why a scholar meets a soldier]

[A scholar with a gun and a soldier without a gun? 】

The sound of zero reminds me, yes!I still have a gun!I don't believe this guy can block my bullet with a sword! ?

A M1911 appeared in my hand, and I lifted it up and pointed it at the soldier's arm.

If possible, let him suffer. There is no need to kill people.

In the final analysis, it was because I didn't have the consciousness to kill people at all.

"What are you holding? Put it down! Want to rebel against the kingdom's army?"

The soldier pointed his sword at me and said angrily.

"boom!"

Bullet into the flesh!

#7 Take Mira

Scarlet blood burst on the soldier's arm, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground.

"AH!!! MY HANDS!!! MY HANDS!!!!!!"

The bullet stayed in his arm, which directly made him lose his mobility.

The other soldiers rushed over upon hearing the sound, and were stunned by the scene in front of them. They looked at the leading soldier who fell on the ground and kept screaming.

I hit someone!Hit him on the arm!

The first time I shot at someone, my heart was beating wildly and I couldn't calm down, but I didn't feel guilty, because when I saw Mira and the others being persecuted by these soldiers, I didn't care, that made me feel guilty.

"Is this magic?"

Mira looked at the gun in my hand and said in surprise.

"You guys! What are you looking at! Rebel against the kingdom and take him down!"

The soldiers who fell on the ground saw that the others were standing still, and waved vigorously to let them do it.

The soldiers were pulled back to reality. Although they saw that I was still holding a gun in my hand, they could only rush forward.

Nine people, let’s not talk about whether there are enough bullets in my gun. If they surround me, I don’t have so much time to aim and shoot. If I don’t aim, I may kill people.

"boom!boom!boom! 』

In desperation, I raised my pistol and fired three shots into the sky.

The soldiers around were frightened immediately, they had never seen this kind of magic before, they could only hear a deafening sound, and then the soldier's arm was injured.

[They should think your pistol is a high-level magic, so they are hesitating, your deterrence is effective]

"If you don't want to be like the one on the ground, back off! Take the one on the ground away, and don't come back again!"

I said intimidatingly.

The surrounding soldiers backed away slowly and looked at each other, neither daring to step forward nor leaving.

"Just hitting one is not enough!?"

Seeing that they were not moving, I immediately pointed my gun at them and said angrily.

The soldiers were startled, and immediately backed away. Two people were separated to pick up the wounded soldier who fell to the ground, and quickly left the village.

"They're gone! Grandpa, they're gone!"

Seeing those soldiers leaving, Mira exclaimed excitedly.

The rest of the village came up to me too, applauding and cheering, all dedicated to me.

"You're welcome! You're welcome! Everyone, this is what I should do!"

For the first time, I felt this feeling of being admired by everyone. I smiled happily and waved.

"Mr. Chen Tong, you... Alas! Aren't you harming us? Alas!"

Of the whole village, Lucius was the only one who was not happy but sad. Looking at me, he didn't know whether to be angry or worried.

"Village chief! How can you say that about Mr. Chen Tong? He saved our village!"

"That's right, I should thank him!"

"Mr. Chen Tong, come sit at our house for a while!"

Seeing that Lucius didn't thank me, the villagers all spoke up.

"You guys! Oh! Think about it! Today they smashed our things, we bear with it, and this matter will be over. But Mr. Chen Tong made such a fuss, the kingdom blamed it, and it was us On the head of the village! At that time, there will be more than 370 people in our village, all of whom will be headed to the ground!"

Lucius frowned, took a deep breath and said.

As soon as Lucius' words came out, the others fell silent.

"It is true"

"Then what shall we do?"

"Mr. Chen Tong, you have to think of a way!"

Suddenly, the finger was pointed at me.

But this is normal, I did cause this matter, but if I don't care about it, wouldn't it be worse for a village that is already poor to be beaten and smashed by soldiers like this?

"Village Chief Lucius, listen to me, this kind of thing is unbearable. If you bear it for the first time, he will definitely have the second time, and there must be the third time. You can bear it all, and it will never last." Endless!"

I turned to Lucius and said.

"Then what can we do? We are just ordinary civilians, no matter what, we can't fight the kingdom!"

"But……"

"Don't do it!"

Lucius cut me off with a wave of his hand.

"I don't blame you for this matter. We will raise enough tax money. As for today's matter, it's just a foreigner who has never met passing through here to intervene."

After Lucius finished speaking, he turned and entered the room.

"Tsk tsk, old man"

I shook my head, and walked in with him, and Mira behind me was with the village people to clean up the ruins left by the soldiers.

Lucius sat at the table with a haggard face.

"Village Chief Lucius..."

"Hey! Don't talk about it, Mr. Chen Tong. You really don't blame this matter, and we also want to thank you!"

Lucius waved his hand and said.

"Just, there is one thing I hope Mr. Chen Tong can help with."

"What's busy? Please tell me"

"I hope you can take my granddaughter Mira away!"

"what!?"

I was taken aback, wondering if I had misheard Lucius' words.

He asked me to take Mira away?What are you kidding?Last night, Mira asked him to take her away, but he still didn't agree, so why did Lucius let him take her away today?This grandpa and grandson mix and match to fuck me?

"I implore Mr. Chen Tong to do me this favor!"

Lucius said seriously, making me sure he wasn't joking.

"Well, why? I have known you for less than two days, and you entrusted your granddaughter to me and asked me to take her away. Isn't it inappropriate?"

I asked tentatively.

"You have also seen the appearance of the village. If you don't pay taxes, you will be so poor. If you pay taxes, you can hardly even eat! Mira is 14 years old this year, and she is still young. She can't be allowed to stay here all her life. In a small village, right? More than ten years ago, when there was a war between the kingdoms, all the young people in the village were taken away as soldiers, and so was the child’s father, who was just born at that time. Look at Mira, there is no one of her age in the village, She should be let out to open her eyes!"
