In an instant, there was no one standing in the tavern except Locke, his men and the slightly dull proprietress. At this time, Locke slowly walked up to the leading middle-aged man, stepped on his waist and asked, "Who gave you the courage to rob the Faustin Kingdom's army?" But no, this tavern earns all the money. It's all money from the soldiers in the army of the Kingdom of Forstan. Isn't this the money of the army?
"Sir, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again." The middle-aged man was very sensible. He covered his bleeding mouth, bent down and begged for mercy in a low voice. He did not dare to explain anything anymore, and with this group of fierce Faustin soldiers There is no reason to argue. Now that he has admitted his mistake and these people have been taught a lesson by them, Locke cannot continue to pursue the case. Their camp is under strict military discipline under the management of the Baron. The Baron requires that they not disturb the people 'too much', so Locke cannot kill all these people.
"Get out!" Locke kicked the groveling middle-aged man and told him to get out. The middle-aged man left in a panic and with his men, and the tavern instantly became quiet again. Looking at the tavern proprietress who was still in a daze, Locke coughed lightly and woke her up.
"Sir, thank you...I, I..." The proprietress suddenly woke up and quickly thanked her at a loss. The arrogance of these soldiers just now frightened her, and she was still panicking. However, these soldiers helped her, so she hurriedly thanked them.
"It's okay." Locke had a good impression of this beautiful landlady, so he helped her. "Since there's nothing wrong, let's go." Locke waved his hand, interrupted her thank you, and began to signal to his men. leave. It's almost completely dark now, and torches have been lit in the military camp outside the town. It seems that dinner has already begun. I hope I can save some for people like myself, Locke muttered.
The soldiers of Locke's team all walked out of the tavern and walked towards the military camp outside the town. Locke walked at the end, and when he was about to leave the tavern, there was a faint sound of crying behind him. Locke looked back and saw that the charming proprietress was lying on the front desk of the tavern, sobbing softly. Locke hates seeing women cry, especially women who are older and more beautiful than him. Locke asked his men to leave first, then turned around and walked back to the bar, gently patted the boss's wife on the shoulder, "Stop crying, if you have anything to say, I will help you." Locke comforted him helplessly.
The beautiful proprietress lowered her head and cried even louder, lying on the bar sobbing. Locke was helpless. He had a way to deal with enemies, especially gangsters, but he had no way to deal with women. Although he is not a junior brother, he does not know how to comfort women. Can you expect a young man who has been hanging around in the military camp since he was just an adult to comfort a crying mature woman?
His men were walking further and further away, and they were almost out of sight. It was obvious that these guys had bad intentions when they walked so fast. They thought that after the hero saved the beauty, it was the time for the two of them to develop their relationship, so there was no point in intervening on their own. So, these guys left their boss in the tavern without loyalty. Locke was very embarrassed at this time. He had no choice but to face this mature woman who ignored him and just buried her head in crying. Let's go. It's not appropriate. She is still crying. Don't go. It's nothing for a grown man to watch a woman cry here. Something happened. Those who didn't know thought they had done something outrageous. Although Locke is not a good person, he has never done anything like robbing a girl.
Time passed slowly, and the crying of the landlady also slowly stopped, but she would still sob from time to time. She secretly glanced at the man who would not comfort her, but just sat there with a stiff face for a long time, and couldn't help but burst into laughter. Only then did she realize that this officer of the Forstan Kingdom was actually just a young man younger than herself. Locke's calm and cold appearance actually contained a slightly younger nature.
Locke was also broken by this laughter. Different from the formulaic smile of the landlady when paying for drinks, this smile that seemed a bit playful and cute made Locke feel shocked. The beautiful proprietress Xia Qian also felt the changes in Locke. She blushed and lowered her head to say "Thank you" to Locke again.
"Well, it's okay." Locke didn't say goodbye. He was not in a hurry to leave now. There was probably no dinner in the camp. As for checking in at night, he is not afraid of being a team leader alone, as he has his subordinates to help him. He couldn't tell his attitude towards the landlady now. Anyway, his intuition told him that he couldn't leave now. The two of them just stared at each other.
Just when the two of them were competing to see who could open their eyes wider, Locke showed an inexplicable smile first. The beautiful proprietress Xia Qian was confused by Locke's inexplicable smile. She followed Locke's gaze and looked to the side of the bar. Several pieces of women's underwear and clothes in simple colors were scattered there. "Yeah!" Xia Qian screamed, blushing and threw herself at the pile of clothes, using her upper body to block Locke from continuing to look.
Locke rubbed his ears, which were shaken by Xia Qian's scream, and smiled at Xia Qian, "Stop blocking it. You can see it anyway, and..." Locke was about to continue talking when he suddenly saw Meiyan. The proprietress was lying on the bar at this time, although she used her body to hold down her clothes, but her slightly loose clothes obviously couldn't hold down her plump body, and a piece of spring was exposed on her chest. Locke was so shocked that he forgot what he wanted to say. He muttered the words "It's so big."
Xia Qian obviously discovered something, she screamed again, and hurriedly put the clothes in her hands in front of her chest, but this exposed her hot underwear to Locke again. This shrewd boss lady is like a frightened rabbit at this time, trying to block herself and hide her clothes. She is very cute.
After a lot of fussing, the glamorous proprietress Xia Qian finally put away her scattered clothes and held her chest tightly. Please, don't lie down anymore. Even if you don't cover yourself, I can't see clearly, Locke complained in his heart. "Since there's nothing else to do and it's so late, I'll go back to the camp." Locke glanced at the beautiful proprietress and said, he really didn't know what else he could do if he stayed here.
"Well...Okay, sir, thank you for today..." Before the boss lady could finish her words, "Gu..." A stomach growl came from Locke, and Locke was extremely embarrassed. "Sir, you haven't had dinner yet, how about... why don't you eat at my place tonight?" Xia Qian looked at Locke's embarrassment, and the nervousness in her heart was relieved a lot. The shrewd boss lady came back, and she She immediately invited Locke to have dinner with her. She felt like hugging him tightly. This was also to thank Locke for his help today.
"Then... Okay, just make something." Locke thought that there would be nothing to eat when he went back now. He probably could only eat wheat cakes or black bread, so he might as well eat some here first. He didn't ask the landlady to cook casually, not to be polite, but because he knew the current situation of the civilians in the Charlo Kingdom that they had captured. Most of them didn't have enough to eat, let alone eat. Even if she ran a tavern, Seeing as she was being blackmailed by these local gangsters today, her life might not be much better.
"Well, okay, I'll help you do it now." Xia Qian first walked out of the bar, walked towards the door of the tavern, pushed a wooden board on the side of the door of the tavern, blocking the door of the tavern, which meant it was closed. Then he walked to the back kitchen of the tavern and went to cook for Locke. Locke observed that the beautiful landlady had a blush on her face when she closed the door. She looked like a beautiful mature woman about to have an affair, which was very tempting. She is indeed a mature woman, but she is not trying to have an affair, Locke thought.
Watching the proprietress Shi Shiran walk to the back kitchen, Locke stopped sitting. He helped the proprietress pick up the copper coins that had been spilled one by one and re-wrapped them in the original package. It was already dark and there was no lighting. Utensils, this was one of the reasons why the landlady only put away the clothes before and didn't pick up the money. Locke could only pick it up with his pair of night eyes that he had trained over the years.
