Chapter 3: Affinity with the Enemy (1)
In the vast morning light, Anguiga stood on the wall of the beacon tower, looking in the direction of Lake Issyk-Kul and remembering the evil stars he saw on the day the war ended.
An Guijia will never think of the harbinger of the evil star until he dies, it was the younger brother Niutel who once worshipped in front of the sacred tree that caused thousands of people of the Wusupal family to die in Huangquan and fall into a catastrophe from which they could never recover, and Rob City also became a slave at the feet of Niutel, and the life-saving grace and brotherhood of the past have become useless.
Youran's death made An Guijia's originally rough face even rougher, and he buried her in a beautiful place at the Peacock River in Luobu City, and also built a small house-like tombstone, surrounded by a wall of stones, which looked more like a courtyard, surrounded by thousands of acres of poplars and red willows. Every two days, An Guijia would bring a pot of wine and a face that would never be able to smile, and sit all day long, and the wind like a flame would blow with him all day.
"You shouldn't have given your life at all, you should have been with me for the rest of your life. Facing a simple courtyard in front of him, An Guijia could only anesthetize all his thoughts with wine, and then called Wei Sen's name and asked Wei Sen to escort him back to the city, but when he turned around, it was the new personal guard Gu Qi who stood beside him.
Yes, on the first day back in Rob City, after dealing with the funeral, Wieson got on a horse and left overnight to go to the Frontier Legion. An Guijia probably understood Youran's desire to save his son, and Wei Sen just did it, but he wanted to be alive, the only woman he had ever loved in his life.
"King, you shouldn't always be by Madame Zuo's side. Gu Qi looked at An Guijia's sad face and said, "It's been more than two months since I came back from Fengwei City, and there are still many things in the government that have not been dealt with, so I can't delay." ”
"It's all about some town officials, and they don't do a lot of good things in the town. Saying that, An Guijia still got up and walked in the direction of the horse, "Whoever loses a sheep or a house that collapses must report it, and ask the king for appropriation, they have never thought about it, the water of the Peacock River is declining year by year, if we don't think about it now, in a few decades this will be a dry river, what can we leave to future generations? Also, after this war, how much money does our treasury still have to recruit troops and horses? Those trivial matters should be left to the officials of the towns and departments. ”
"There are still several lords and commanders whose positions are currently vacant, and you need to decide immediately, the barracks needs a new captain of the guard, the director of the stable yard said that he is old, and he is clamoring to go back to the country, and the new soldier manager should also be replaced, I heard the soldiers say that since he took office, he has deducted the salaries of many soldiers, and the soldiers are complaining. ”
"Your proposal is good. An Guijia said, "The three-month-long war in Fengwei City has cost me many generals and troops, give me two days, let me think about it, if the officials of the towns are not in their positions, they should think about giving them a good place to go, instead of continuing to sit back and enjoy their success." ”
"Your words, Your King, are very true. Gu Qi said, and An Guijia had already walked to the horse, and the two of them got on the horse and walked in the direction of the sunset.
Passing through a damp meadow, they saw an uncountable number of troops, a blue flag with a lion emblem fluttering in the wind.
"That's the Red Fang Army. An Guijia thought that he had a bottom in his heart, after experiencing the war in Fengwei City, he still had lingering fears about the army in front of him, and his fear was undiminished, "It seems that Verogo has learned about the demise of the Wusupal family, so go and gather the army." He said to Gu Qi.
"Don't touch a king. Gu Qi persuaded.
"The army is not gathered to fight hard, but to show our attitude of protest, go quickly. Anguiga commanded.
"And what about you, the king?"
"Leave me alone, go. Anguiga's voice was like a whip.
"Yes, King. Gu Qi dropped the horse's head and made a detour to let the horse gallop into the secret forest.
An Guijia rode into the army, dismounted sideways, and Velogo also dismounted, An Guijia looked at the countless troops, and said to Verogo sideways, "You came to my territory in such a hurry, do you already know that I have lost my right hand?
That's not true. "Everyone says I'm ruthless, and after the Holch incident, I think I'm much better than Newtle, and I at least know how to be a brother, and I know how to repay my life-saver." I am not here to attack the city of Rob with the army. He pushed the woman in a red robe to Anguiga's side, "I want to negotiate a deal with you, King Anguiga, and let my sister Xuanluonu be your right wife, and I will give you an army of two hundred men, just as my dowry for you." ”
An Guijia glanced at Xuan Luonu, her heart trembled, and she thought, "This woman is a little similar to Youran. So he turned around and asked Wei Luoguo, "This king already has a right lady, and her name is Chu Mei'er." ”
"Your right lady is useless to you, and my own sister with red teeth is the peerless treasure of your Luobu City. ”
"Is it to make me loyal to you?"
"Haha. Luo Guo raised his eyebrows and smiled, "We are a family after marrying us, how can we say allegiance? I don't want to be like Niutel, forcing you to sign some bullshit agreement, and silently recite the oath of allegiance." ”
An Guijia glanced at the army in front of him, and thought to himself, "This is an army of nearly 3,000 people, do I have any other choice?" The experience in Fengwei City has already cost me a terrible price, Rob City is full of my relatives and herdsmen, what are I going to do with him?" After thinking about it, he said to Verogo, "These troops are more than two hundred. ”
"That's right. Verogo nodded, "If you promise peace, my army of two hundred will be yours." ”
"If I don't agree, you'll be attacked?" asked An Guijia cautiously, "What's the difference between this and blackmail?"
"Of course there's a difference. Verogo said, "I don't want you to hand over the treasury property, army and horses every year, I want you to be a family with me, if you don't agree now, it doesn't matter, when my sister gives birth to you a son, you and I will be close to each other, if Niutel wants to move you, don't even think about it." ”
"A monarch killer who killed his father, a person who refuses to let go of his family, and still kisses and kisses? In his eyes, I am afraid that no one can become his relatives. But in the current situation, I don't seem to have a second way to choose except for my relatives. An Guijia thought, so he frowned, although his face pretended to be calm, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I promise to kiss." ”
"Refreshing. ”
"But I don't promise allegiance. ”
Verogo showed a serious expression, "Even if you are happy to hand over the silver tickets, horses, army and women to Niutel, I can't force you to do anything, and if you don't mention your relatives, you won't be loyal to you, and we will be a family from now on." ”
An Guijia frowned, very depressed, Vilogo laughed, and got on the horse, "I won't attend your wedding with my sister, remember to be grand, if I bring so many people into your city, I guess you must be worried that I will do something, let's say goodbye." With that, he ordered his men to shout, "Let's go." ”
