The negotiations failed to continue after all. Of course, no one, including those on Joshia's side, left immediately.

After all, I killed a nobleman. Even if there was a reason for the matter, I wouldn’t clap my hands, throw away the crossbow, and say casually, ‘Let’s go and leave’, and you can swagger away.

And it is indeed not the time to leave now. Although Alex was penetrated by an arrow, the family soldiers in his room caused quite a lot of trouble. It should be said that Powells' arrangement was still fine. He blasted the crystal and forced the door, rows of archers blocked the gap, and killed turtles in a typical jar.

But the family dead soldiers did not disappoint their names. They continued to push the arrow rain one after another, and used their flesh and blood to push a gap, and finally rushed out four high-level warrior-level dead soldiers.

This made it lively. The dead soldiers were seriously injured. Under the entanglement of Powells and Bernie, they could not leave the hotel area as soon as possible. But Powells and his men fought against two, and their cavalry were not helpful at all, so they could not take the other side at this time. In the end, both sides rolled in the attic and fought, which made the owner of the hotel rush to jump straight into tears.

In the end, Ronald couldn't bear it and gave an order to the Royal Guards, two senior warriors with captain status and two intermediate peak warriors. After these people came forward to help, they finally killed the four family dead soldiers. However, even with such an absolute advantage, Bovis and the others paid the price of minor injuries, while the Royal Guards were even worse, with two deaths and two serious injuries.

Such a result also made the look of the nobles around him look ugly. Dead soldiers are not uncommon. A powerful noble will raise such troops that are easy to use or to get rid of cannon fodder, but there are very few who can reach the level of high-level warriors. At least, with the ability of the Alex family, it should not be able to be raised. In this way, the situation here is enough to make people think deeply...

However, the nobles had no time to consider this issue for the time being, so they changed to a side hall and discussed it for a long time. Finally, at noon, Joshia led people to say goodbye.

In the next few days, the wind was calm. Shanxi City neither caused any strong earthquakes because of this incident. The two sides did not continue to hold open negotiations. As if nothing had happened, they returned to the calm state of the previous few days.

Of course, the absence of open negotiations does not mean that the new nobles and Joshia have no secret communication. It can be said that the negotiations in the past few days have not been cut off, but there is even a tendency to increase in frequency.

...

At noon that day, the roadside tavern.

"You're leaving so soon? How many more days aren't you staying?"

"Oh, it's a matter of time sooner or later. Bovis is here, and my business will not be open at all. Why not leave earlier to avoid being hit by his hands."

"kindness……"

On the table, Don, Philip, and Jack sat each on one side and raised their glasses from time to time. In the past few days, Don, took the time to introduce Jack to Philip. The two people with vulgar qualities were really good, but in a few days, they had completely evolved into an acquaintance, and they thought they had met too late.

But today is the time to part. After staying in Shanxi City for a few days, Jack decided to change places. After all, the pressure on him was too great, and staying here for one more day made him feel worried.

This is personal freedom, so Tang En naturally would not force it. He raised his glass and asked, "Where will go next?"

Shaking his head, Jack touched the cup: "I don't know! Maybe I'll go back to the south. The north is too poor, and the nobles are the same. It's not worth it." He paused and drank the wine in one sip. "Tsk tsk. But I can't say it, let's see it later."

"I think you'd better go to the capital, where there are nobles and wealthy businessmen everywhere. With your skills, you can walk around the streets with everything." Philip, who was standing by, did not express disgust with Jack's profession. On the contrary, he lazily proposed and did not treat himself as a rich man at all.

Jack touched his chin and had some hope: "Well, wait until you have the opportunity to see it."

"Then I'll make a decision. If you come to the capital, you can report my name. It will definitely work. Maybe someone will give you money."

"Damn, there's something wrong?" Jack's eyes widened, obviously shocked.

"That's a must... There were a few times when I was pulled to drink wine by my friend, but the waiter at the door didn't let me in. He stuffed money and wanted to kneel down, saying that he was afraid that I would kidnap the girl inside... It's so fucking!" He pounded the table with a depressed blow, and Philip drank a sip of wine.

"Uh, haha..." Tang En and Jack were stunned when they heard this, and then they couldn't help but raise their heads and laugh.

After drinking a few more drinks and getting drunk, Jack simply stood up, said nothing, and waved his hand and left freely.

After watching Jack's figure disappear quickly in the street crowd, Tang En withdrew his gaze and looked up and drank a glass. He had no feelings. It was a blessing to meet an old friend in the vast crowd, so he didn't need to ask for more.

With an eyebrow raised and looking at Philip with a thoughtful look, Tang En asked casually: "What are you thinking?"

Philip patted his forehead and was a little distressed: "Somehow, every time I see Jack, I feel like I have forgotten something, but I can't remember it for a moment."

Tang En didn't care: "Then don't think about it now, let's talk about your hotel. Yes, Alex's affairs, sorry."

"Uh? Oh, it's okay. I can't really get along with him. But there are too few other aristocrats in the capital, so everyone likes to put us together and talk about things." Philip was stunned for a moment and shook his head to explain.

"That's good. I'm also worried that Alex's death will have any bad effects on you."

He waved his hand, "How could it be, at least in name, I am also a new nobleman, and he is a traditional nobleman. Yes, although it is hidden deep enough..." After pausing, Philip continued, "But the identity of Alex, a traditional nobleman, must not be exposed. Old foxes like Simpson and Ronald can probably guess, but they dare not say much... After so many nobles died, how dare Simpson and the others admit it? The origin of those dead soldiers is suspicious. I guess Ronald will definitely think in the direction of His Highness. When it comes to the struggle for imperial power, he would not dare to mention it before returning to the capital."

"Both sides have their own concerns, and no one wants to uncover the veil, so they have to dig some soil and bury it... Haha, if you want to say that Alex is really thoughtful, you have killed all the four sides, traditional nobles and new nobles in one go, and now you are dead, it is natural that you will not belong to either side... Well, what I think of both sides is all about to attribute Alex's death to the previous assassination. As for the murderer, of course, they are the men in black who were wiped out. Ha, it's better to be dead. If you don't talk, it's best to take the blame..."

"Yeah..." Tang En nodded after hearing this. These complex political struggles have nothing to do with them. Now that they have avenged revenge and do not affect the negotiations, it is naturally the best result.

"By the way, there has been no open negotiations these days, so Simpson and the others have no doubts?"

Philip laughed twice when he heard this and said lightly: "Haha, doubts must be suspicion, but I think they are a little discouraged now. They came all the way to disrupt the negotiations, but they didn't expect that someone was even more cruel to hide around them, and they actually used the method of killing their companions to disrupt the negotiations... I felt so heartbroken."

He paused and smacked his lips, "Tsk tsk, but it's no wonder that Alex is in this matter. Do you remember what he said to Simpson and others before his death... 'Because you idiots!' He was so resentful... Originally, if Simpson and the others were not too bad, Alex would have no hope of completing the task after the second negotiation, and he might not have used these fierce means... It's true that he is not afraid of opponents like demons, but teammates like pigs!"

Tang En chuckled after hearing this, "Haha, why do I think this pig-like teammate is really likable?"

"You have different positions. If you are Alex, you also want to kill people. At least you can find a way to kill with a knife... Hum?"

The words suddenly stopped, Philip opened his mouth, slammed the table, grinning with a toothache: "Damn, I finally remembered that Jack had taken away my dagger before and had not returned it to me yet!"

"Tang En was stunned at first, and then he thought that when he first met Jack, he did take away the dagger under Philip's pillow... He stroked his forehead and looked speechless, "It's just a dagger. Although it looks sharp, do you still care about this?"

"Oh..." Knowing that there is no hope of tracking, Philip sighed and sat down, shook his head, and murmured, "That's not an ordinary sword..."
