Chapter 218 Once You Bow Your Head, You Are Not Far From Kneeling Down
Perhaps it was because we were about to leave the Shiwanda Mountains, the ubiquitous cold wind was extremely weak here, and the temperature had risen a lot. The grass is rejuvenated, and at first glance, it looks like an eye-catching green carpet.
Bosco was not in a hurry to speak, as if he thought the scenery here was good, and walked towards the mound not far away as calmly as taking a walk after dinner. Tang En was also indifferent and looked around habitually, without even guessing Bosco's intentions.
After a while, on the hill, looking far into the distance, there was still unchanging greenery.
"The scenery here is nice." Bosco spoke first, then turned around and asked, "What do you think?"
"It's not bad!" Tang En nodded, casually looked into the distance, and sighed, "It's a good place to bury people."
It happened to be a rare cold wind and greenery that was eye-catching, but Tang En's regretful tone made him feel ghostly.
Bosco raised his eyebrows in astonishment, then shook his head with a smile: "Haha, people say that Captain Tang En has murderous intentions. When I saw him today, he really lived up to his reputation."
"Just kidding, Minister." Tang En stroked his forehead as if he was embarrassed, "It's just a professional habit."
Although the conversation started, this topic is obviously not suitable for in-depth discussion. Bosco changed his words and asked, "What are Captain Tang En's plans for finding a place to purchase this time?"
"It's not about planning, it's just some habitual methods." This is the content of the work. Tang En naturally had to answer. He shook his head first, and then spread his hands, "These things can only be smuggled, so they have to be found in the hidden black market. As for This secret black market, haha, chat with a few local gang bosses, they will naturally tell me."
Things like city defense equipment are undoubtedly contraband. However, prohibition often represents huge profits, so naturally some people will take risks. It’s just that the specifications of the trading venue may be higher. It is obviously impossible to have a black market like the one in Liva City before. We must find some more hidden places.
"Although it is simple and direct, it is a good method!" Bosco nodded in agreement. Although those low-level gang members are not of much use, they are indeed good at gathering information and the like. Moreover, it is easy to ask them to help, just send some money. Of course, depending on Tang En's murderous intentions, it is also a feasible method.
"Smuggling, contraband..." Bosco murmured, his face a little ugly, as if he was remembering something. Then he walked down the mound, turned to Tang En who was following him, and said, "Want to hear a story? About the history of a family's decline."
"If it wasn't too long and boring..." Tang En shrugged without objection.
"Haha, let's put it simply!" Bosco calmed down his expression and chuckled, "You should know that I used to be a nobleman, Viscount Elvis."
"No matter what kind of aristocratic family you are, as the patriarch, you have only one goal from birth, which is to develop the family power and improve the family status in your lifetime. If you are not the one, no matter how bad it is, you must learn to maintain the status quo and not let the family decline. . I used to be more ambitious, and I wanted to raise my family’s status to a higher level in my generation. Haha..."
With a self-deprecating smile, Bosco continued: "I won't talk about the attempts. I finally chose the shortcut of smuggling. In fact, smuggling is a very normal thing in the aristocratic circle, and everyone is doing it. It’s not a surprise. It’s just that I played a big role... The things I smuggled were not prohibited, just food, but I worked hard to open up a private road and sold the food to the Northern Wilderness tribe."
Tsk tsk... When Tang En heard this, he couldn't help but smacked his mouth and praised Bosco's courage in his heart. The thirst for food in the Northern Wilderness is imprinted on the bones of every barbarian in the Northern Wilderness, and has been so for hundreds of years. Due to geographical reasons, it is almost impossible to grow anything in the Northern Wasteland, so you can only rely on robbing every time. Not to mention the big wars, the annual small-scale battles of Autumn Wind were launched by the barbarians in order to rob food.
As a result, the Bran Empire naturally tightened its grip on food. This Bosco actually dared to have such an idea and was able to pass all the levels. It was extremely audacious.
"Haha, isn't it a bit unbelievable?" Bosco smiled and seemed a little proud, "Actually, my success was inexplicable. The most difficult thing about smuggling in the Northern Wilderness was how to pass the border guarded by the legion. I was also at a loss at that time. , but then I met a mysterious man in a border city. He was very energetic and managed my food... During that time, my family developed due to smuggling food. I was a little worried at first, but then my courage gradually changed. Big. Next... haha, just like the higher a monkey climbs, the easier it is for you to see its butt. Because my family was too complacent, and ended up being targeted by a count. "
He paused, glanced at Tang En, and then said, "You should have imagined that, yes, he also wanted to participate. In fact, I didn't need to worry about him reporting me at the time, because his family was not clean either. But In the end, I gave in and introduced him to the mysterious man. As a result, well, our family was reported and caught. Only the earl family knew about this secret... He did it more ruthlessly, leaving me alone and running a single line. Contact the mysterious person. And at this time, I can’t even report the count, because it has turned into revenge and slander..."
Having said this, Bosco shook his head and said with self-mockery: "See, this is the benefit of strength. The viscount is careful in every possible way, and the earl has no taboos. Ha!"
"Oh, it's over? Well, I don't want to say it. Although it's not long, it's really not very interesting." Tang En spread his hands out of boredom.
Bosco was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "Captain Tang En, what is your purpose of joining the Gray Army?"
"Kill people." Tang En replied casually.
"Huh?" Bosco was stunned again and said with a wry smile, "Maybe I should ask, what do you think of the Gray Army?"
"This is the question again..." Tang En frowned and said, "If Minister Bosco wants to say something, he might as well finish it in one breath."
"Okay!" Bosco did not object and looked up into the distance. "I am very optimistic about the Gray Army. It has the ability to directly change the rules. If my goal before was to raise the family to a higher level, now although the entire family has I have become a fugitive, but I am more certain of achieving a status that I never thought possible.”
"Sorry, let me interrupt." Tang En nodded his forehead, "I can probably understand what the minister means, but the Gray Army is not like the Bran Empire. Even if the Gray Army succeeds and you become a meritorious veteran, it seems You don’t get that status.”
Bosco's eyes flashed, and he nodded noncommittally, then changed the subject and said: "I heard that Captain Tang En is very interested in fighting spirit methods recently. Well, our family has collected some before. I can lend you one. Watch.”
"Tsk tsk, the minister's information is quite good..."
What Bosco said is true. In order to help the old housekeeper explore the Dou Qi channel as a reference, Tang En has indeed been collecting Dou Qi mental techniques recently. However, there are really not many of these in the Gray Army. After all his efforts, he has gained very little. And they're all pretty low-key.
"Yes, I do need this. However, I can understand that the minister is trying to bribe me?" Tang En narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
Bosco looked surprised, then shook his head: "Of course not, haha, I really can't come up with anything that can bribe Captain Twain right now. These fighting spirit tricks, well, they should be regarded as compensation for some previous misunderstandings. "
So he was waiting for me here... Tang En suddenly felt in his heart. If he guessed correctly, Bosco's idea was very simple, which was to make good friends with himself first. Although this may sound like a trivial matter, based on Tang En and Gray Space's current status in the Gray Army, they are really worthy of it. Moreover, Bosco's move can be regarded as putting an end to the previous matters such as Bo Lai. In addition, if the Bosco family does something in the gray army, Tang En will naturally not be able to interfere with it.
After understanding this, Tang En met Bosco's eyes and shook his head gently: "Although the minister's proposal is very tempting, I'm sorry... I can't forget the scene when I was being chased. I can’t forget Angus’s right leg, which is still lying with a shattered fracture. I can’t forget Felix’s death in the tunnel either… I will definitely investigate what needs to be investigated, and I will stick to it!”
"Finally, let me share a word of advice with the minister. As for people, it is best to stand with your head held high, so that you look comfortable. Once you lower your head, you are not far from kneeling..."
