A pair of jade hands picked up the long-necked wine jug, and the transparent liquid in the spout flowed into the white jade-colored wine glass, and for a while, the strong aroma of wine with the fragrance of cereals filled the room, refreshing people's hearts. www.biquge.info The sound of men's laughter and women's laughter came from next door, and the sound was in his ears, causing Wuren's heart to beat and his whole body hot.

"Your Excellency......" Takehito whispered to Governor Olaf in front of him, "Your Excellency, please listen to me......"

"I'm not a grown-up, I'm Cliff, the most handsome, the most beautiful singer, the most melodious bard in the Empire. The governor in front of him touched his fake mustache, and the red hat with feathers was very conspicuous, "Boy, it's your blessing to meet me today, hey, girls, fill the lad's wine." ”

In front of Takehito, three girls with fancy flowers, they looked to be the same age as him, twisting their waists as they walked, one skillfully wrapped his arms around Takehito's neck, one skillfully poured wine, and the other picked up a glass and poured it into Takehito's mouth.

"Come on your own, I'll come on my own, ahem. Wu Ren waved his hand again and again, but he was poured a glass, and the strong aroma of wine penetrated into his nose, and his throat suddenly burned like a fire. He coughed several times and immediately sweated.

"It's really refreshing, it's stuffy. Fill him up again, boy, the girls love you. Governor Olaf winked at Takehito.

"Cliff...... My lord, didn't you say that you came to observe the feelings of the people?" Takehito was not used to calling the person in front of him "Cliff".

The Governor shook his glass and wrinkled his nose: "Where did you learn the words? Yes, you must have heard it from the mouths of those bureaucrats." Please, they are looking at the flowers, rubbing oil and looting, and they call it 'understanding the people's feelings'. I'm different, I call it 'poetry collection'. ”

Wu Ren pushed away a girl's hand and said with a wry smile: "But didn't you say that you have something to do with me?"

"Yo, this little brother, come here, what are the two big men talking about?" a girl moved skillfully, fiddling with Takehito's collar, "Leave our sisters aside? ”

Olaf pretended to come to his senses, and he stroked a girl's hand: "Hey, I didn't even touch Xiaoyu's hand. Well, girls, I have some personal matters to talk about with him. ”

"Hate," the girl named Xiaoyu glanced at Takehito, then waved to Olaf, "Cliff, remember to come to me later." ”

After the door of the private room closed, Takehito faintly heard the sound of laughter and laughter next door. He sighed: "My lord, I really thought you were here to observe the people's feelings. Results ......"

"There's also a lot of sentiment here. Governor Olaf took his glass and shook it, "Tell me, what do you see?"

"Indecent places, indecent things. Takehito's face was hot, and his heart was pounding.

Olaf tilted his head and sighed, "Eyes can deceive people, you have to look hard." In my opinion, the remnants of the Rising Sun Empire here, these lovely girls, are no different from the white-skinned women of the brothel of Thundercastle. They laugh and sell meat, and their hearts are miserable. They are unable to support themselves by other means, and they are forced to live without a choice. ”

Takehito was stunned, he thought that Governor Olaf would say things like a yellow-skinned girl being petite and delicate, and a white-skinned girl being plump and powerful.

"They don't have a choice," Olaf lifted his chin, "unlike you, you're a magician. It's not like those famous families, who either have power or money. ”

Takehito looked at Olaf, today's governor was unusual.

"The governors of the other provinces are the inspectors, and they report to His Majesty the Emperor and the Imperial Council what they see and hear about the provinces, and it is the responsibility of the lords to govern the provinces well. "I'm different," Olaf said, filling his glass, "though I'm a governor, but I also have the duties of a lord. It is a shame for me to have a large number of poor people. ”

"My lord, I've always wondered why you can call so many famous families to participate in the memorial event, and how do you know that there can't be a riot when the event is held?" asked Wu Ren eagerly, the question that made him puzzled.

Olaf raised his eyebrows: "I personally wrote a letter to Han Xianwang, in which I expressed my deep condolences, saying that the governor of the province wants to pay tribute to Ruolin and the other victims. In my letter to Xu Rong, I said that if he did not participate, I would investigate his tax evasion and punish him for bankruptcy, on the contrary, if he donated money and materials at the mourning event, I would not blame him in the past; I praised Fang Derui's silk as a treasure, and Her Majesty the Queen liked it very much, suggesting that Xu Rong also participated. ”

"Isn't this provoking the contradiction between Xu Rong and Fang Derui?" Wu Ren touched his head, "They have been fighting openly and secretly for the position of the president of the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"So, they worked hard to turn the donations into auctions. Olaf shrugged, "What's not to do, it's the poor who benefit anyway." ”

Wu Ren was deeply impressed by Olaf's sense of justice: "Then how did you win over Qiu Xiaotian? Also, how do you know that the mourning activities will not cause a big riot? Are you not afraid that the Fuguo faction will assassinate you inside?"

Olaf laughed, he picked up a chicken leg, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Qiu Xiaotian is a rough man, I'll tell him that if he is not afraid of the Fuguo, let's come together." Of course, he wanted to save face, and he was provoked to hurry over. As for the Restorationists, if there is a bloody assassination in the cemetery or during a mourning event, will they still have supporters in the province?"

Takehito stood up and fell to his knees: "It's all within your plan. The subordinates admired it so much that they threw themselves to the ground. But why did your lord choose me as an assistant? If you do this, it is equivalent to directly transferring me in the army, and you have exceeded your authority, so Lieutenant General Dai Ken will not be furious?"

Olaf plucked the strings, and a trill, he closed his eyes, listened carefully, shook his head, and said, "It seems that this instrument still needs to be tuned." Boy, you have to look at the overall situation, just like the lute, no matter how good one string is, the other strings are not accurate, how can you play a beautiful tune?"

Wu Ren smiled embarrassedly and returned to his seat: "My lord, I'm stupid, can you tell me?"

"What does the surrender of the city lord of Jinsha City mean? Olaf's fingers slid over the strings, bringing a glissando, "We must unite the remnants with the Rhodes, govern the provinces, and consolidate the rear. ”

He straightened the piano and put it on his lap: "The Flower God Festival gave a hint, everyone is immersed in the light of the seven gods, regardless of race, old or young. The yearning for a better and happier life is the same for everyone. ”

Takehito carefully reflected on Olaf's words and nodded vigorously.

"Let Lieutenant General Dai Ken come to me. One less magician on the front, one more political icon, consolidate the rear, and let him choose for himself. Olaf cleared his throat, "Use your brain, assistant." This is politics, and it's harder than fighting. You have to learn to play this game. ”

Takehito picked up the wine glass: "My lord, listening to your words today, like an initiation, I will do it first as a respect!" To be honest, he didn't like to drink, but Olaf filled him with another glass, and he didn't even think about it, he craned his neck and drank.

"It's all my own fault, and ordered the officials of the Governor's Palace to cease all entertainment after the commemoration for three days. Suffocated me. Olaf plucked the strings and said, "Why didn't I see what you were talking about? ”

Takehito smiled knowingly.

The white feathers on the bard's hat were as neat as first snow, and his fingers slid over the strings, singing: "The morning breeze is blowing, and the blue mountains are misty." The girl's white clothes are fluttering, and my heart is already rippling......"

"Blue Mountain Minor", an imperial pop song. In Cliff's melodious piano sound, Takeren remembered his first encounter with Han Yan. His heart throbbed.

"My mother, which one is singing with a broken voice? from that room? Grandpa Blackbeard wants that private room. A rough voice came from downstairs.

"The guest officer, the private room has been booked, and the bard Cliff has paid 100 Reichsmarks. "It's the voice of the brothel owner.

"100 Reichmarks? Your Blackbeard grandfather will give you another 10 and let the poet fuck off. "The sound is getting closer.

"Your Excellency......" Takehito said softly, "the one who came is not good......"

Cliff raised his index finger and continued to sing: "The water in the mountains is murmuring, and the flowers are scorching." The girl is delicate......"

The door was pushed open, and a short man, with a thick neck, a round waist, and a very clean black beard, hung down on his chest: "Don't shout, duck throat." ”

"Cliff was the most handsome-looking, the most beautiful singing, and the most melodious bard in the empire. Cliff stood up and bowed.

"What? is it?" Blackbeard snorted, "I think you're the most stinky-looking, bad-voiced, and harsh ragged poet in the Empire. ”

Takehito tried to stand up, but Cliff stopped him.

"Originally, I wanted to give you the private room, but I'm almost done with it anyway. Now, I'm not leaving. First come, first served, that's the rule. Cliff sat down, crossed his legs, and glanced at the brothel owner.

"The highest price wins, this is the rule. I gave out 110 Reichsmarks. Blackbeard said to the boss.

“120。 Cliff didn't lift his head and took a sip of wine.

“150。 Blackbeard didn't blink an eye.

"Two guest officers, business is really booming today, the private room is full, can you take a step back and use the private room together?" the boss smiled, "Anyway, it's just a meal now." ”

"No!" Cliff said in unison with Blackbeard.

"160!" Cliff pulled open his purse and looked inside.

"188! That's an auspicious number!" Blackbeard patted his boss on the shoulder, "Isn't it?"

“200。 Double hundred, good things come in pairs, auspicious!" Cliff shook his money bag, lifted his chin, and looked at Blackbeard.

"More money than your Blackbeard grandfather?" Blackbeard laughed and threw the money bag into the boss's hand, "250!"

"Deal!" Cliff slapped the table.

"What?" Blackbeard turned his head and looked at Cliff, "What do you say?"

Cliff put away the money bag and said to Takehito: "The one with the highest price wins, this is the rule." Let's go, willing to gamble and lose. ”

As soon as Takeren walked out the door, Bard Cliff, the governor of Olaf, walked behind the small door of the lobby.

"Today, Blackbeard is in for a treat. Olaf winked triumphantly, "The boss's kickback is enough for our meal." ”

Wu Ren smiled: "It's all in the plan." ”
