Chapter 106: Meeting Memories (I'm Sorry)
The sea breeze blowing on the coast was full of cold that made people feel cold, and the soldiers of Sparta were building defenses day and night, and Guo Jia, as their king, was constantly calling his soldiers to have a small meeting after dinner. In his words, it is good for you to listen to other people's opinions.
"Carl Hughes, you come in with me." At the end of the meeting, Guo Jia walked out of the tent and walked in front of Carl Hughes, a man who had just walked to his tent and was about to go in to rest.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Carl Hughes immediately got up and followed Guo Jia back to the king's tent.
"Your Majesty, is there anything important to discuss with me?" Carl Hughes didn't sit down, he was a little nervous now, standing behind Guo Jia stiffly.
"It doesn't matter, you sit down first. I'll pour you a drink. Talk to me. Guo Jia looked at Carl Hughes with some melancholy, and his five years in Sparta made him have some memories. After going through so many things, he needed someone to talk to him about it.
"Your Majesty, let me come!" Carl Hughes, who heard that his king was going to pour himself wine, was even more nervous, but Guo Jia directly held him down with his hand and shook his head at him.
"You sit." Guo Jia said lightly, and the words that sounded approachable were like orders, making Carl Hughes unable to resist.
Guo Jia took out two wooden cups and a pot of wine from the box next to him. He walked up to Carl Hughes and sat down cross-legged, and poured a glass of spirits into the glass like this.
"Carl Hughes, talk to me." When Guo Jia said this sentence again, Carl Hughes could clearly feel the melancholy and sadness in his tone.
For a man to feel what was going on, out of concern and curiosity, Carl Hughes picked up the glass and took a big sip. This is the one thing that Spartans would do to their closest friends. And Guo Jia was not ambiguous, and after two bites, the strength of the liquor rushed to his head.
"Carl Hughes, you tell you the truth, isn't it a little incompetent for me to be the king!" Guo Jia opened his mouth and began today's conversation.
"Your Majesty, what are you talking about, how can Your Majesty be an incompetent king?" Carl Hughes was stunned for a moment, then responded.
"Don't Your Majesty, Your Majesty called it that. How ugly, I call you Carl Hughes, and you call me Guo Jia. There is no such thing as a monarch today. Guo Jia shook his head, picked up the spirit again, and took a sip. Honestly, am I a worthy king after all! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, oh no. Guo Jia! As a king, you are already very competent, but some of your actions are confusing. Carl Hughes simply drank with Guo Jia, and he could see that the king of Sparta was looking for him and drinking with him today.
"Here's an example!" Guo Jia nodded.
"Guo Jia, many of your actions are different from those of other city-state empires, and even the kings of Sparta."
"You have felt the folk customs of Sparta since you were a child, and the policies and regulations were formulated by the kings in the past, but you are good, you break them one by one, and those who do not obey will go to prison." Carl Hughes emboldened himself and spoke.
"You mean the Spartan Council that was abolished after I took office? Liberation of the Helots? Guo Jia lowered his head and looked at the cloudy liquid in his wine glass.
"Yes, think about it, for so many years, the Spartan parliament has never been shaken at the highest point, and who knew that you would be abolished soon after you took office. More than a dozen high-ranking officials were ruthlessly slaughtered by you, and I still vividly remember you killing those who opposed you in our dueling arena one by one. Carl Hughes had palpitations, and he still felt a little frightened when he thought back to what Guo Jia had done in the past.
"Huh, they? One by one, it was like moths eating away at the power of Sparta, if it weren't for this group of damn guys who raised people's taxes, the people of Sparta would have encountered a situation of lack of food and clothing! One by one, the dogs would rather keep their precious food in their own warehouses and get moldy than distribute it to the people of Sparta, and you say they deserve to die! Guo Jia spoke directly, angrily scolding the person who had been killed by himself.
"Carl Hughes, tell me what the conditions are necessary for us Sparta to send troops!"
"It's with the consent of the council."
"And what are the conditions for our Spartan reform?"
"With the consent of the council!"
"Who is the king of Sparta?"
"Of course it's you!"
Guo Jia had a smile on his face at this time, and he reached out and patted Carl Hughes on the shoulder.
"Me? The king of Sparta was me? Shouldn't it be parliament! Every time I want to make a decision, they block it for their own interests infinitely, they want to block it for the reform of Sparta, they want to block it when I want to travel, you say that the king of Sparta is me! Then every time I decide, they will intervene to stop me, can I be king! Am I just a poor puppet! Guo Jia's eyes were a little red, I don't know what the situation is, he can't bring the problem of bad wine anywhere, even the king of Sparta will not be spared.
"I abolish the council, slaughter the members of the council, everyone has to stop it, I fight them in the dueling arena with my bare hands, isn't this the most primitive method of my Sparta! Besides, Carl Hughes, tell me if Sparta has become more prosperous after my change! Guo Jia drank all the wine in the wine glass, picked up the wine jug and poured another glass.
"Yes, since the parliament was abolished by you, and the new law came into power, Sparta has indeed developed more rapidly. Moreover, to abolish it is to exterminate those corrupt insects and pervert the law, and to leave many fair and just members of the council. Although those guys have also caused you a lot of trouble. Carl Hughes had no choice but to raise the glass in his hand and drank it in one gulp.
"The freedom of the Helots? Carl Hughes, I ask you, are you human! ”
"I am!"
"What about Helot? Is there a difference with you? Are they slaves? Born slaves? ”
"This ......"
"Look at you, you can't tell." Guo Jia smiled and continued to drink.
"They are also human beings, and they have bright red blood in their bodies like us, so why should they be slaves? I gave them this chance to prove themselves, and as you can see now, the Dark Souls Legion can almost compete with my personal guards, even stronger than them! Helots, their contribution to Sparta, pick out a random one that you can compare? Guo Jia drank heavily, word by word, so that Carl Hughes could not refute.
"But, what about Hades! Containing mob fugitives, you say you're a little stupid! Carl Hughes was also made out of the real fire by Guo Jia, and he directly moved out of the black history of the army that resisted the Spartan regime in the past.
"I admit that I did something wrong about this, but fortunately they were suppressed, and now they are almost all owned by me Sparta, alas." Guo Jia let out a long sigh, recalling the story of the farmer and the snake that he had realized.
"Actually, I'm not a worthy king." Guo Jia shook his head and poured himself a sip of wine. "Sparta is prosperous now, it is all about preparing for war, I want to start a war, but I am afraid of putting the people in a sea of misery. Oh, contradictory. The soldiers can now be said to be all obedient to Sparta, they are for the glory of Sparta, the black soul is for their own freedom, and the Hades is for their own interests, what about the dark clouds? It's the glory of Sparta, but who would willingly go to war for me? ”
"Actually, you don't have to!" Carl Houston paused, and sorted out the words in his mind in response to Guo Jia, "You must know that you are the king of Sparta, a symbol of great glory." The source of your glory is Sparta, and the warriors did all kinds of things for Sparta, so isn't it for you! Recall what kind of world you led Sparta to since you became king, and the people lived in peace and contentment. Everyone in the army has armor and weapons, which one of them was not made by you? ”
Guo Jia raised his head and glanced at Carl Hughes, then picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one go, he put the quilt down, and Carl Hughes picked up the wine jug and poured him half a glass.
"Fill up!" Guo Jia scolded, doesn't this person want to make him happy when he drinks?
"Drink less!" Carl Hughes said so, but he acted very honestly.
"Alas, Karl Hughes, do you think we can really stand in the way of the Persians?" Guo Jia looked at the wine glass and didn't drink it.
"Yes! We're in Hot Springs right now, we have an army of 10,000 people, and I can definitely stop them! ”
"But there are hundreds of thousands of them, and they can kill us with a heap of heads. I can't even guarantee that I'm completely blocking their tracks, and let's not forget that there's a tiger staring at us behind us. ”
"Greece? Rest assured, Greece is also the place where the gods were born, and they will definitely abide by morality and will not take advantage of people's danger. ”
"No, you're wrong. Carl Hughes, Greece is an empire no matter how it is said, and there are some means to say that they can win what they are today. It is difficult to draw the skin of a tiger and draw bones, and you don't know your heart! Guo Jia shook his head, and his sad expression was put in Carl Hughes's eyes.
"What do you mean?"
"The guys in Greece. Hum! Let's pay a little attention. If we can hold out until the day when the Olympics are over, we will retreat and let the Persians in. lest the Empire send men to wipe us out! Guo Jia shook his head, he wasn't sure if his army would be able to hold out for so long.
"Carl Hughes, I want to tell you a story."
"I'm listening!" Carl Hughes nodded.
(The following is not dry goods, I had a quarrel with my girlfriend today, and I want to write about it.) )
"Once upon a time there was a gentle and beautiful girl who fell in love with an ugly and useless boy. With a better candidate in her own right, she decided to follow the boy. Both of them are in love for the first time and have little experience. The boy is even more emotionally low, and he makes the girl unhappy everywhere, and one day the boy is a little annoyed, he ignores the girl, and after a long time the girl cries and tells her thoughts. The boy silently swore at that moment that he would let the girl cry forever because of himself. The boy began to accompany the girl, but he was a little fat and a little homely, and he did not like sports, and he was tired of this life again, until one day, the girl cried again and was very sad. It took him an hour to explain this, and it was gratifying that the two were not separated. Gradually, the boy finds that the girl is getting farther and farther away from him, and no matter what he does, the girl will alienate him. He panicked and tried his best to win the girl's heart. However, it backfired, he became more and more extreme, and the girl cried more and more. He began to quarrel with the girl, trying to win the girl's attention, but every quarrel was his victory, and what won was the girl's own lonely tears, and the girl's friend had already asked her to leave the boy, he disagreed, firmly believing that the boy would change. Until now, the two are still together, but the boy finds that the girl is becoming more and more distrustful of him, he wants to cry, but dignity does not allow him to do so. Time flies quickly, three years have passed, and the boy wants to marry a girl as his wife, but he is afraid. He was afraid that the girl's parents would not agree, and he was afraid that the girl would not agree. All kinds of problems linger around the boy, he becomes more extreme, every time he quarrels with a girl, he wants the girl to forgive him, but no matter what he does, whether he beats himself or scolds himself, the girl never forgives him again. When the gap between the two was getting bigger and bigger, the boy was afraid, and he had another panic, that is, he was afraid that the girl would leave him. He didn't know how to express his feelings for girls, he had no money, no power, girls told him how happy their friends were, and yet in the ears of boys he heard how useless he was! The boy didn't know what to do, he didn't know what he had done wrong, he didn't know how to correct it. The pressure was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't release it, like a mountain slamming into his chest. Eventually, his quarrel skills deteriorated, and the girl learned more advanced techniques from her friends. Every time, whether he ignored it or not, he would be defeated, and he didn't want to quarrel anymore. Tired, sleepy, and want to sleep and forget about it, but maybe because of their quarrel this time, he may never have a chance to recover. How do you think this matter can be solved? ”
"I don't know, I don't understand, I can't understand, boys are wrong, girls are wrong, boys love that girl, but it hurts the girl's heart again and again, the girl may also be wrong, she also breaks the boy's heart again and again, man, it's so hard. Self-esteem keeps them from looking down and makes them lose something. ”
"Yes, no matter how it ends, I want the boy and the girl to be together for a long time. By the way, I forgot to tell you, the boy made a decision one day, if the girl left him, he would wish the girl happiness, and at the same time, according to his words, he would never find a girl like her again, and he would die alone from then on, just in time for the purity of his ears, and he would be able to repay something. ”
"Your Majesty Guo Jia, you are definitely not such a person anyway, look at you, tall and mighty, young and handsome, and you are still the king of Sparta, it would be really strange if you had no money and no power!"
As he spoke, Guo Jia was already asleep in front of Carl Hughes. Carl Hughes could see the tears in the corners of the tenacious king's eyes. , you are lonely, the young lady warms you with a movie
