Eric looked at the burning banknotes, and then lit the cigarette with the flame generated by the banknotes. Turin loosened his hands. Half of the burned banknotes rolled with ashes fell to the ground, slowly curled, slowly burned, slowly extinguished and turned into two pieces of black ashes.


    "Is a cigarette that costs 200 yuan a time more mellow?" Turin smiled before Eric answered the question. "Eric, can we be friends?"


    Eric took a deep breath of smoke and slowly spit it out, which made him more relaxed. He was ashamed of his fear of death, but this ease of living defeated his guilt. He raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "you want to buy me!"


    "Buy?", Dooling couldn''t help laughing. He shook his fingers. "No, no, no, the word buy sounds insulting to you and me. I never buy anyone with anything. I only make friends with others, friends, understand?"


    "You said that your child is about to be born... That''s good. A family with children is a complete family, but have you considered your family''s happiness in living in this society? When you walk with your family on the road, watching people like me drive luxury cars, wear expensive luxury goods, go in and out of high-end places, and make friends with powerful people, maybe Just because we talked with great interest and said some irresponsible words, but some things began to change. "


    "Will you and your family have some helplessness?" Turin''s tone became deeper, "You sold your life to the security committee in exchange for a small amount of money, but you can only make your family live like an ordinary person. Maybe you have some savings, but those savings are not even one tenth or one percent of what my friends and I spend one night."


    "Eric, life is so precious. Your God let you have the luck beyond everything and came to this world, but you sold your luck to some people who are similar to me but wear different clothes. Is this really your pursuit?"


    "Is it all worth it?"


    There was a struggle in Eric''s eyes. He closed his lips and listened to durin''s words. After thinking for a long time, he replied, "I didn''t work for anyone. I just gave my loyalty to the Empire!"


    At the moment when his voice fell, Turin waved his hand and denied his answer with a very firm voice, "Empire, empire is a concept, not a specific person. You know the chairman and vice chairman of the security committee, the top officer of the Ministry of defense, and even margus. They are all specific people. They can''t represent the Empire, let alone surpass the Empire. You say you are loyal to the Empire. I want to praise your love for the Empire, but have you considered it?"


    "If the new party steps down and the old party comes to power in the general election, do you want to continue your so-called loyalty?", this question is actually very sharp, because the new party has been in power since MARGES overthrew the rule of the old era, and everyone in the government regards MARGES and the new party as a "country" But as Dooling said, if the old party defeats the new party and comes to power, will they continue their loyalty?


    Their leadership is likely to be replaced by those of the old party, some people who have very different values and world views from those of the new party. Their governance ideas and even their political aspirations may be contrary to those of the new party. In this case, should they do this as they do today and work hard for the ruling old party?


    In fact, this is not the first person who felt this and said it. After the mid-term election, many middle and senior levels of the imperial government were at a loss.


    Yes, the new party has brought many changes to the Empire, making the society more friendly, people have freedom, and the sun also brings justice. But this does not mean that the new party can defeat the old party 100% and continue to suppress the old party in the general election.


    In the general election six years ago, the new party successfully defended the scepter of power with 67% of the votes, but today, the support rate of both sides is getting closer. You know, in the second general election, the support rate of the new party is 93%!


    There are many reasons for this phenomenon, such as the old party''s theory of social elites, such as their "adherence to conventions" The design of the framework, for example, gives people a visible ladder, so that everyone has a possibility to step on others'' heads and climb up. Many factors have caused the new party''s governance concept to be recognized by many social middle classes. These middle classes who can''t wait to cross the threshold and enter the upper class are more inclined to the decadent upgrading system of the old party than the new one The party''s survival of the fittest.


    Some people are willing to support and maintain decadent things, which only shows that some things are still very tempting. If the new party steps down and the old party comes to power in the general election two years later, what should these people who have served the Empire for more than ten or twenty years and have grown up in the soil of the new party?


    Is it against the old party or obedience without a stand?


    I''m afraid the choice is a problem anyway!


    "If you choose to resign or transfer to another place, it will prove that the loyalty to the Empire you said in front of me today is just an excuse for you to deceive yourself and others. If you choose to stay in the security committee to serve the old party, you can distinguish right from wrong and do things according to the instructions of the old party. What do you think others will say about you ？”


    Eric fell into silence. He didn''t know how to answer Turin''s question. At the same time, Turin''s question also made him feel very embarrassed and even shook his faith!


    After a moment of silence, durin said in a relaxed tone, "in fact, it''s easy to solve these problems!" and Eric immediately looked up at him to see what he would say next.


    "I say it''s very simple, it''s really very simple. When you climb high enough and won''t be shaken by some changes, you are really qualified to do something for this country, instead of floating around like a helpless boat on the sea."


    "It all depends on your choice."


    "You said, will we be friends?"


    When Dooling came out of the room, it was sunny outside. Dover immediately came over and said something in his ear. Just when Dooling was chatting with Eric, Dover had gone to investigate what Eric said. With Dooling''s means and contacts, it is not very difficult to find out the information of an "ordinary person". Eric didn''t lie. He said everything he could, which satisfied Turin.


    Death is the most feared thing of mankind. Even he is afraid of death, but what he is afraid of is death in ordinary peace. If one day his death can bring change to the whole world, he will gladly leave the world - in fact, it is not better to live than to die. As long as he lives, he will have the opportunity to find a breakthrough.


    "How are those people?" asked Dooling suddenly.


    Those people refer to the gold miners who came to town not long ago. Now someone is staring at them.


    These people entered the town in three groups. They thought they were hiding well, but they ignored an especially important thing. They didn''t ride a horse. Horses are second only to their lives for gold miners. Without horses, there is no way to travel in the wild west. Coupled with durin''s previous orders, they were found as soon as they came in.


    At this time, Brest did not know that his disguise had been seen through. It was not his fault. He was just a gold digger without much culture. He believed that the gun in his hand was better than the head full of knowledge. He sat at a round table with a glass of wine and listened to the chat of the people around him.


    Life in the town is monotonous, and everyone''s fun is often only ridicule of women, ridicule and gamble with each other.


    "We have to find someone to ask where Amun went just now. Damn it, I said I couldn''t drink. If I didn''t get up late, I wouldn''t be so passive as now!" Brest seemed to forget that he was the first to drink and fall down, and he took the initiative to drink too much. No one forced him to drink. As a result, when Amun''s carriage left for about 20 minutes in the morning, these people remembered that they still had something to do today. Fortunately, their people in the camp saw the whereabouts of Amun''s carriage, and the wheel prints in the field had not disappeared, so they found this place.


    His companions looked away when they saw him complaining. At this time, the guy sitting next to Brest beat his arm with his elbow and threw his mouth aside. "Do you think we can ask anything in the toilet?"


    Brest looked in the direction the man pointed out. A drunk guy staggered towards the toilet. He immediately stood up. "Why not? I think so!"


    The guy next to him also stood up and followed Brest towards the toilet.


    The toilet of the tavern is not big, only two single rooms. The drunken drunkard pushed open a door, went in, zipped up, took out his guy, aimed at the urinal, raised his chin, closed his eyes and hummed an out of tune tune tune tune. He suddenly felt a gust of wind behind him. His unresponsive head realized that someone had come in after his body trembled. He scolded impatiently: "get out, there''s someone here!"


    However, the guy who squeezed the urinal with him didn''t get out. Instead of leaving, he showed his treasure.
