Chapter 163: Two Big Fish
Outside the Duke's Palace in Liverpool Harbour, heavily armed guards were standing and heavily guarded, and horses carrying messages from the gates of the Duke's Palace were constantly carrying the latest news. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info Anyone with some eyes will surely find that among these heralds, a few people who obviously did not look like 'Great Eagles' were mixed into the Duke's Palace, and those doormen who seemed to be waiting for the battle were allowed to let them go without even asking. At this fateful moment, if anyone who dares to go out and fart and make a sound, if they are found by the duke's cronies, they must have died worse than Zhao Si and his father, even if they really have any conclusive evidence, it is not something that ordinary people can control.
Haoran took Michelle and Xiaobei all the way, and saw that the shops on both sides of the street were all closed and fled with their families, and the strong laborers in the homes of ordinary residents, all the dukes were recruited and sent to the docks to carry supplies, leaving the women and children in the family, supporting the elders, with simple utensils and household goods, and fled in a hurry towards the inland direction. The rich nobles and gentlemen can take their money and their families, and drive the carriage all the way to shout and drive the pedestrians on the road to avoid, so as to provide them with more time to run, and the fleeing pedestrians will be whipped by the raised whip if they can't avoid it, and some of them will be directly hit by the carriage and fly out, but then look at the carriage that caused the accident has no intention of stopping at all, and roars away in an angry scolding, completely ignoring the life or death of the person who was knocked off, for a while, the sigh of the old man, the cry of the child, the shouting and scolding of the woman, The moans of the unfortunate ones who fell and were trampled under their feet, and the urging of the gendarmerie guards, were intertwined. It forms a post-apocalyptic scene of the war-torn city......
"Mouse, these people are so pitiful, let's find a way to help them!" The most unbearable thing to see these wives separated and the tragedy of the world happened, and she was overflowing with love, so the first thing she did was to ask this 'almighty boyfriend' out loud to see if he would miraculously come up with some good ideas.
"Xue'er, is it true that your grandfather is the reincarnation of a 'true god'? Nor can it change the fact that war is about to break out. If there is a war, there will be victory and defeat, life and death, and separation, and these things are beyond your control and mine. ”
"And. According to the information provided by Sister Na's intelligence department, this time the Three Kingdoms came to attack, and it was definitely not as simple as extorting a huge amount of gold or cutting land. I am afraid that there is a powerful force that is making waves from this. It's just that I don't know what he's trying to do yet. "Haoran is no longer the hot-blooded hairy boy of the day. Of course, he is willing to obey the request of his girlfriend, but it depends on whether it is within his own ability, take these ordinary civilians who have fled, how do you let him deal with it, give them gold and silver as travel expenses? I am afraid that this is not helping them, but harming them, otherwise the civilians with gold and silver will only be killed by those 'soldiers and bandits' with spears and swords. Or maybe you were ransacked by bandits when you fled inland, and those who raised bandits don't care if you were a refugee or not. If you have money and a woman, they can do anything. Or follow them all the way to escort them to evacuate safely? This is even more unreliable, he has a heavy responsibility, and the kindness of the woman will only invite greater trouble, and this disaster is this Duke William, if this person is not removed, the 'Great Eagle' will not be monolithic, so the old king after learning the actual strength of Haoran, resolutely decided to use this immature newcomer, let him come here to carry out the 'tiger mouth tooth extraction' plan.
Originally, the old king still counted on the town guard here to give Haoran some help, but the old king obviously overestimated the strength of the town guard here, this person can be loyal and commendable without being bought by Duke William, but he is not capable of controlling his own men, and he cannot compete with the actual rulers here. Knowing this, Haoran and Michelle would not have to slaughter an 'official bandit' in one fell swoop.
"Well, people know that what I'm talking about is unrealistic, but I really can't bear to see so many human tragedies that can only be found in books. Looking at this situation, Michelle pouted tears in her eyes, but she was also like a mirror in her heart, only the strength of the two of herself and Xiaobei could not give these civilians much help, so it is the king to remove the 'tumor' as soon as possible, work together to repel the invaders, and give these civilians a stable life as soon as possible!
Looking at the migratory army of civilians in the city, Haoran couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Hey, in fact, these people know how to be satisfied the most, they can live in peace, have a mouthful of bread, dress warmly, sleep soundly, and have a good family, this is the greatest happiness." But if you look at these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they work scheming, cleverly setting up names, deceiving superiors and subordinates, and oppressing the people, not only to satisfy their own desires, but their ambitions will also continue to expand with the changes in their own interests and power in their hands, when this ambition reaches the extreme, they will eventually 'bang', and those who are burned by it are often those who are extremely ambitious, and in the end they will not have a good end, such as our Duke William, too. Let's go, girl, don't sigh and drink tears in life!"
Michelle touched her tears after listening to Haoran's words, nodded silently and didn't say anything more, and then Haoran took her little hand and walked around the back alley of the Duke's Mansion together......
In the Duke's Palace, Duke William was dressed in a purple and gold robe, and there was no expression on his righteous face, he closed his eyes like this, sat on his throne with a big golden sword, and the scepter in his hand kept knocking on the marble floor under his feet, making a rhythmic 'dong dong' sound, and after a while, the middle-aged Duke William suddenly opened his eyes, and a pair of golden eyes burst out with a terrifying light, and he said to a pair of men and women in front of him: " Go back and tell Eric's little rabbit cub that the price you gave is not enough to send a beggar, it is not enough to keep my original fief and treatment, it is not difficult for me to passively resist and let you into the hinterland of the 'Great Eagle', as long as the kings of your three kingdoms jointly sign an edict to promote me as the king of the 'Great Eagle', I will agree to your small request, and even let me turn against each other is not a problem, as long as the price you give is high enough, everything will be negotiable. ”
"Okay two, although this is my fiefdom, but it can't be ruled out that the old immortal sent eyeliner over, once the traces of the two are found, I'm afraid, hehe, I'm afraid it's not good for anyone, you two, please go back!" If the heart is not ruthless and not spicy, it will be difficult to rule.
As soon as Duke William's words fell, two people stood up in front of him, one was the 'Sea Blue' Caroline in blue armor, and the other was Van Gogh, the son of the marshal of the 'Giant Deer Empire', the two of them bowed slightly to Duke William, and then said: "If the Duke speaks, I will definitely bring it, but I hope that the Duke will remember today's conversation and fulfill your promise!" Public relations' came, so although it was armor, but the face was also powdered, and the whole person looked so heroic and extraordinary, so she didn't feel disgusted when she said this, but like a little girl who was coquettish to herself, the Duke laughed when she heard it.
"Hahaha, how can this Duke be a person who goes back on his word, as long as you can bring what I want, I can also take off the head of the old king of the 'Great Eagle Empire' and send it off to you!" Duke William smiled and reverted to a face of arrogance, he has worked hard for many years, he knows that the old king does not want to consume the national strength in the civil war, so no matter how out of line he does, the old king is also blind to the invisible, and the taxes he pays every year are not as good as a medium-sized city, but the old king has never said a 'no'.
In this way, the money saved from the old king's hands was invested in the expansion of his private army, all kinds of weapons and armor, ships, military supplies, etc., all consumed a lot of his funds, in order to collect funds as soon as possible, he did not hesitate to carry out smuggling activities with several other countries, so as to also get acquainted with several high-ranking people, slowly, they got into a relationship, often maintained correspondence, and the relationship was deepening day by day.
However, he originally planned to wait for the old king to breathe, and then he and his comrades elected him as the new king, but he never thought that just two years ago, the imperial capital actually tossed a farce of 'choosing a son-in-law in the ring', which made him see the determination of the old king, so he could no longer sit still, Duke William wanted to strike first, with the help of the other three countries to sit on the throne of the king in one fell swoop, and today, he has the qualifications to get involved in the 'big eagle'......
"Yo he, I didn't expect to see two big 'fish' here, Xue'er, do you want to go fishing for 'fish' with your husband?"
"Hehe, that's a good dare, it's idle anyway, let's go!" After speaking, Michelle learned Haoran's style, and walked out of the house with Haoran's arm on her shoulder...... (To be continued.) )
