Although von Bock had patted his chest and promised Pastor Jefferson that he would promote Dupont as the regiment commander, but that was in order to lure Dupont to come and tell the truth, he himself was just a battalion commander, so what could he do to protect someone else as the regiment commander? DuPont probably didn't believe much in this, and his requirements were not high, it would be good to be a battalion commander like Von Bock, as for the regiment commander, let's see the opportunity in the future.

Collie saw through Dupont's thoughts, he knew that if he was talking nonsense to others and promised DuPont to be the head of the regiment, DuPont not only didn't believe it, but laughed and despised them in his heart, maybe he would be suspicious, after all, a bandit, full of evil, became the head of the senior commander as soon as he surrendered, that is really too abnormal, there must be a demon when things are abnormal, DuPont will not know this truth, with his experience in the rivers and lakes, maybe he will see through their intentions at once, and bring them unnecessary trouble when the time comes, so he puts his hands on the table, rubbed it, and said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Dupont, with your qualifications, it is more than enough to be a regiment leader." That's what Brother von Bock and I reported. However, you should know that the head of the regiment is a high-ranking official in the kingdom. His appointment and dismissal of Governor Taylor did not count, and had to be approved by the king. So, look, do you want to get a battalion commander first, now our three counties in the north are vigorously suppressing bandits, according to your strength and seniority on the road, will you still worry about having no credit to make in the future? When you have credit, let's operate together, and it won't be difficult to get a regimental leader. "Since he said that he is a bad person, this kind of lower treatment should naturally be said by him.

Von Bock drank a large glass of wine, looked at Clifford a little disrespectfully and said, "Brother, can't you talk to your teacher, Governor Taylor, and get my big brother DuPont a regimental leader?" He was the governor of the three northern counties, and the king had high hopes for him, and he would appoint a regimental commander, and he would certainly not dismiss his face. I've already promised my old brother, can you bear to see me become a villain who doesn't care about credibility? ”

Collie sighed softly, looked at von Bock and Dupont slightly apologetically, and said, "Two old brothers, it's not that I don't help you, the problem is that I'm just a student of Governor Taylor, and I can't be his master." He said no, what can I do? If I were the governor of the three northern counties, let alone the regimental commander, even if I was a brigade commander, I would still give it to Brother Dupont. "Anyway, he put on an innocent expression, which means that you two don't embarrass me, I'm just a student of Governor Taylor, and I'm not his father, can I count it if I say it?

DuPont kept his pipe in his mouth, did not speak, smiled slightly, watched the performance of the two of them coldly, and waited until they finished the performance, then took the pipe off his mouth, knocked it gently, smiled bitterly, showed a great appearance, and said: "Okay, two brothers, don't bother with my affairs anymore." The battalion commander is the battalion commander, and the officer is no longer small. For a desperate person like me, it's good that Governor Taylor doesn't kill me, and what qualifications do I have to negotiate with others, okay, that's it, my brother won't embarrass my brothers. ”

"How's that going to work?" Feng Bock's eyes widened, and a pair of small eyes suddenly radiated an unwilling gaze, slapped the table, and said angrily: "It's too condescending for me to be a battalion commander with Brother Dupont." No, Brother Clifford, since you don't want to talk to Governor Taylor, then I'll go and talk to Brother DuPont about it. Otherwise, what face do I have to meet my former brothers! ”

Seeing his serious look, DuPont seemed to have really put on a posture to negotiate with Taylor, and an inexplicable warmth rose in his heart, after so many years, did this little brother really recognize himself as a big brother? waved his hand and smiled faintly: "Okay, brother." I appreciate your kindness. Earl Clifford has also done his best, don't force him, you two have done a lot for me, if I am not satisfied, if I have to force you to get me some kind of official position such as head of the regiment, wouldn't it be too brotherly? The battalion commander is the battalion commander, the battalion commander is not bad, you Feng Boke, are you the same as the spicy food? I admit it, and it's settled! ”

"What about then?" Von Bock still refused to let go of the opportunity to pretend to be forced, and said very regretfully: "I was brought out by you, how can I compare with you?" I'm a battalion commander now, so you have to be a regiment commander anyway. Actually, it's okay to say this, but Feng Boke's nickname "Wanxi" must be a habit of pretending to be forced to pretend, and this habit is integrated into his bones.

DuPont didn't speak, waved his hand, and said lightly: "Okay, okay." Drink, drink. Seeing what he meant, he was already very content, and he refused to dwell on this issue anymore.

Collifo smiled faintly, and said in his heart: This bandit is quite righteous, but it's a pity that he is about to die, otherwise it doesn't matter if you make friends all of a sudden.

"Hey." Feng Bock sighed heavily, raised his wine glass and saluted Dupont, and sighed: "Since my brother is so indifferent to fame and fortune, then this brother can only be sorry for you." But don't worry, my brother has a sentence here, if my brother has the opportunity to suppress bandits and make meritorious contributions in the future, then my brother will definitely support my brother and help my brother ascend to the position of head of the regiment as soon as possible. ”

Du Pont sneered, and said in his heart: You are the battalion commander, I am also the battalion commander, there is a way to be a peer and a rival, if there is such an opportunity, it would be good if you didn't rob me of my credit. He knew that this was what von Bock said, so he didn't take it seriously, and said a few words of thanks casually, and then continued to drink with Clifford and von Bock.

The three of them drank a few more laps, and they were all a little drunk. It is easy to get sleepy in the afternoon, and DuPont has the habit of taking a nap, so he can't help but stretch a big waist and yawn.

Seeing this, Feng Bock knew that the opportunity to do it had come, so he quietly gave Collifo a look, and then smiled at Dupont earnestly: "Brother, there is an inn opposite where you can smoke a lot, why don't we go and relieve our fatigue?" ”

Dupont didn't answer, but turned his eyes to look at Colford, smiled slightly, and his smile seemed to have a deep meaning, and said, "Lord Earl, is this good?" ”

"I don't smoke." Clifford flatly denied: "Just lie there for a while and watch you smoke." By the way, let my maid give me a shoulder press. With that, he gently smashed his left shoulder with his right hand. He knew that DuPont was testing him, whether a person smoked a big cigarette or not, he could see at a glance, if Clifford answered yes, then DuPont would definitely be suspicious, maybe he would find an excuse to leave, and let their plans be a bamboo basket for nothing. Fortunately, Lord Ben is not a fool.
