C3183 Blanqui was trapped (2/2)

This was the Severn Mountains, and the terrain was gradually rising. The barn was on a sloping platform, and the surrounding hills were covered with grape fields.

What were the villagers doing now? They began to pile stones on the rise of the barn, collecting stones of all sizes and carrying them to the top of the hill.

”They are going to smash us to death! They're gonna smash us to death... ”No, I want to negotiate with them, I want to negotiate with them when we open the door!”

”Teacher is too dangerous, let's go!”

”None of you can do it. They won't believe it. I'm the only one who came forward to negotiate …” Just say that Blanqui is here, and request to negotiate with the other party's superior! ”Go shout …”

In the nick of time, a civilian pushed open the door of the barn and beat on his white shirt as he shouted, ”Negotiate! The leader of the commune, Mr. Blanqui, has requested to negotiate with you and has sent someone to talk to you … ”

”We have two thousand francs in cash. As long as you agree to negotiate with us, we can share it with you …” After saying that, the officer placed a money bag on the ground in front of the entrance of the barn and looked at him warily.

Two thousand francs shook the poor guy across from him, and the squad leader slapped the back of one of the villagers' head, ”Fire attack?” Explosives? Damn it, I didn't expect them to have money on them, right? What if it burned up? ”It's even attacking with fire …”

That veteran was also a scoundrel on the battlefield, he didn't need any protection so he just casually walked up to the door of the barn and picked up the money bag.

When he opened it, he found a portion of the gold coins inside, along with rolls of franc notes. Fortunately, there were no fire attacks, or they would have to be burned.

Blanqui appeared at the entrance of the barn in a flash and said calmly, ”Good courage, you came alone, aren't you afraid that we'll capture you as a hostage?”

The old soldier's eyebrows jumped three times, and the scar on his forehead looked extremely ferocious. ”Hostages?” ”It's up to you. I've been fighting for my entire life, and I'm just a bloody mess. Why would I be afraid of such a small matter?”

Sha of Crimea is much more vicious than you. When have I ever been afraid of him? Just tell me what you want to talk about! ”

Blanqui slightly nodded his head, ”I didn't expect that you would be a veteran who fought Crimean War before. From the looks of it, you should be only around ten years old back then … You are a warrior of the nation, and I salute you! ”

After saying that, Blanqui actually nodded his head and bowed slightly!

The old soldier was stunned. ”You think I'm a warrior?” [Didn't you all scold His Majesty the Emperor for his militaristic prowess?]

Blanqui shook his head: ”Don't say it like that, you just heard a bad rumour about us … We have an objection to the Crimean War, and say that the war spent too much on it, and wasted too much research, education, and people's livelihood … ”It's just that!”

”We are in awe of the military's glorious overseas actions, every single soldier on the battlefield is a hero, you guys have made the France famous, we can only admire you!”

”What we don't approve of is the French Emperor's wrong strategic plan. We spent too much money on that war and the one who received the most benefits in the end is the United Kingdom … ”In terms of strategy, we've made some mistakes, and that's all we're attacking!”

The old veteran frowned and said, ”I don't understand those great truths, I just want to ask you, what are you going to talk about today?” ”For the sake of these two thousand francs, I will give you a chance to speak!”
