Chapter Eighty-Six: Gift-giving
"Humph!" General Charlie flicked his robe and said angrily: "Collect the troops!" In the past three days, we have been eating, drinking, and watching a good show, watching how our prison lord subdues this group of bandits! With that, he turned around sharply and walked back to the tent.
In General Charlie's camp, several military leaders were very annoyed by this incident, and shouted and scolded one after another: "General, that Clifford is too much, the brothers are desperately trying to exterminate this group of bandits who are endangering the place, and he ran out at this time, isn't that obviously grabbing credit?" ”
"Yes, General Charlie, aren't the brothers bleeding and dying in front just for fame and wealth? Seeing that the credit and the wealth inside are about to arrive, that hairy boy actually dares to stab us in the back, is this simply unreasonable? ”
"That's it, General Charlie, this man is so hateful, I'll go and kill him now, and then the brethren will continue to break through the cottage, and I don't think Governor Taylor will dare to do anything to us?" A short, bearded general shouted with a broadsword, he was extremely enthusiastic about fame and fortune, and his temper was extremely irritable, and he was immediately angry when he saw that Clifford had robbed them of their business, and if General Charles agreed, he would dare to do something that others would not dare to do.
When General Charles saw that General Clifford was so unhappy, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice in his heart, didn't he give himself the opportunity to buy people's hearts, so he immediately stood up, smiled and comforted the brothers, and said, "All right, brothers." That kid from Clifford was too much, and if I had followed my temper, I would have killed him on the spot. However, after all, he is a prison sent by Governor Taylor, and Governor Taylor treats the brothers well, and I don't want him to be unable to step down, I am a very simple person, and I will never do anything to be sorry for my brother. You are my brothers, and Governor Taylor is my brother, so I would like to ask you to be calm and wait. ”
"Think about it, Joseph's bandits are rampant in this area, and they have long provoked the anger of the people, we want to exterminate them, which is also in line with the local people's will, not to mention, the Kingdom of Prussia has done a lot of bad things in our country over the years, and the people are also dissatisfied with them, and now the people of the Kingdom of Prussia have come out to be mediators, let us let go of this bandits, think about it, can the local people agree? Who doesn't know that Joseph was single-handedly pulled by the Kingdom of Prussia? Isn't this an obvious act of embarrassment and evasion of punishment? If Governor Taylor had agreed to their request, wouldn't he have been scolded to death? He, an old fox, has always cared a lot about his reputation, and I don't believe that he dared to risk the world's condemnation this time. ”
"Yes, that's right. It's still General Charlie's foresight, I think we can wait patiently, three days later, that kid from Clifford will definitely not get the order, and when the time comes, he will definitely not be able to run away from the charge of delaying the military plane. At that time, let's count his new hatred and old hatred together. ”
"Hahaha!" The generals let out a burst of laughter, as if they had seen the end of this young prison army, let you kid Lang, dare to provoke the anger of the public just after your debut, this time I will teach you how to behave!
In Coolford's camp, Olivia, the patrol chief of Chaoen City, was also worried, just now when Clifford and General Charlie were just face-to-face, Olivia was really sweating, today's incidents, others have thought that he is Clifford's person, and he himself has decided to follow Clifford to do a good job, if Clifford is planted this time, General Charles will not only not let go of the young earl, maybe he will also put the responsibility for the failure of the first attack on his own inaccurate information, At that time, he, the little patrolman, would definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and it was possible to be beheaded, so he couldn't help but say to Clifford with a melancholy face: "Lord Earl, do you say that the order of the governor of Taylor will come down?" ”
"How?" Clifford raised his eyes to look at him, and said with a hint of teasing: "You don't believe in this prison army? ”
"Of course not." Olivia sneered and said, "Of course I believe in the cunning of the Warden, but there is always a chance in the matter, should we leave a way out for ourselves?" ”
Collifer gently put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and walked two steps, and said slowly: "Don't worry, Governor Taylor is a man with great ambitions, he can tell which is more important, this bandit has nothing, whether it is suppressed or recruited, it will not affect the situation in the three northern counties." The key issue is the relationship with the Kingdom of Prussia, if this time the peace is hurt and the other party cannot get along with us, it will have an impact on our development. Governor Taylor would not fail to consider these issues. ”
Olivia was still a little uneasy, turned around, looked at Clifford, and asked tentatively, "Then will he stop us from recruiting security because of the problems of the people's will?" You know, the common people in this area hate Joseph very much, and if they heard that Joseph was recruited, they would definitely be unhappy in their hearts. ”
"Hehehe." Clifford looked up to the sky and smiled, with a hint of ease in his laughter, and said faintly: "Mr. Olivia, you have been a patrol for so many years, when did you see that the people's hearts really played a role, as long as Joseph no longer harms this area, they are already thankful, as for the resentment in their hearts, at most it is a few words of scolding to relieve anger, as long as it is appeased, there will be no problems." Governor Taylor understands the trick here. ”
Olivia didn't speak at all, he looked at this teenager with some doubts, he really couldn't understand, how did he have such insight and profound overall view at this age, this can no longer be explained by genius, this is simply a demon, after this incident, he made up his mind even more, in the future, he must follow Clifford and not let go, and the future of himself and his family will be pressed on this young man.
In the evening, Joseph sent a representative to Clifford's tent, and when he saw Clifford's "plop", he knelt down and began to salute, saying: "Thank you Lord Earl for your life, and our great boss has let the villain come to thank Lord Earl." With that, he took out a gift slip and handed it to Clifford.
Clifford can be said to be the life-saving benefactor of their entire cottage, receiving this gift from him, his heart is very calm, and he took the gift sheet in his hand to see that he was quite generous - five hundred taels of gold. According to the gold price of this world, this is about 25,000 silver dollars, which can be said to be enough to double the wealth in Clifford's hands, not including his small building in the royal capital, of course.
