Chapter 218: The Banquet on the River Forth
Three-masted sea ship on the banks of the River Foss.
William Wallace finally took a hot bath and put on some men's perfume.
He wore his new Scottish costume and attended a banquet on board the sea with little Walker and Olibi Populen.
The two guys also took a shower, at least their hair was not always dreadlocks due to sweat and dirt as they used to be, and there was no smell on their bodies.
In the eyes of these two guys, the sea ship was simply a royal palace, even though they had never seen it at all.
They sat in the splendid dining room, with their hands on their knees, obediently listening to the owner of the ship saying something they did not understand.
But their noses are so good that they can smell the faint smell of perfume on William Wallace.
The two of them gestured to each other, William Wallace, this guy smells better than a woman...... There is also the smell of the food on the table.
Orientals are noble, they even eat what they eat!
Red, green, yellow, many have never been seen.
The two of them gestured to each other that we were really hillbillies.
They didn't dare to speak, for fear of being laughed at...... But little Walker's stomach growled.
At this time, Li Ao just ended his speech before the banquet to congratulate him.
The two guys smiled, but it was over, it was time to eat.
But William Wallace stood up with his glass in his hand...... He also started talking endlessly!
The two looked at his side with resentful eyes...... The man who can fight and talk is quite handsome, but don't talk so much, okay?
Olibi Poplan's stomach began to growl...... It's not that they're rude, it's that hunger can't be controlled!
They didn't know what William Wallace had said, but the people at the banquet gave him a round of applause, which, judging by their smiles, was a compliment.
They didn't understand anything, but they puffed up.
William Wallace raised his glass and bowed slightly in thanks...... He's done talking, and it's time to eat.
But the Scottish merchant stood up again, and he began to speak!
Little Walker looked at the back of his head and really wanted to find something to hit him hard to see if he could still speak!!
Fortunately, he only said a few words------ he was finally able to eat.
As he was eating, William Wallace poked his head over and said, "My brothers, eat slowly, eat slowly, there is a hot dish ------ behind."
Hot dish? What do you call a hot dish?!
William Wallace turned out to be able to eat with two small sticks, just like the Orientals, they only had knives and spoons.
The two of them did not dare to use force when they ate the food, for fear of breaking the fine porcelain, and when they saw them for the first time, they even carefully pinched them when they drank water, for fear of breaking them.
…… They were puzzled by a plate of white reed roots, which were everywhere on the banks of the river, and how could the noble Orientals eat it......
The two of them boldly picked up one and ate it...... Ah, it turned out to be sweet and sour, and there was a special fragrance!
They had passed by the river countless times, seen it countless times, and never thought it would taste so good!
They quietly poked William Wallace and told him it was good...... But William Wallace took one look at it and whispered, "It needs vinegar and sugar as a seasoning......"
Well, they don't understand both spices.
The noble Orientals are extremely wealthy...... They put the pepper that was said to be tasted by the aristocracy on the table casually and let others use it.
They saw that the Scottish merchant had used it three times, desperately pouring pepper into his little plate.
They also used it three times in a row until they couldn't stand the spicy anymore.
In fact, no one cared about the two of them, everyone cared about the conversation between Li Ao and William Wallace.
Li Ao's speech shows that on behalf of his company, he has pledged to do his best to help the great Scottish nation rejuvenate in an all-round way...... and was willing to give comprehensive support to the peasant rebels represented by William Wallace in the military, industrial and agricultural fields...... After signing a long-term contract, Ao's company will launch an aid package within three months...... Of course, during this period, the peasant rebels also needed to actively cooperate in terms of manpower and other aspects.
Li Ao believes that the Scottish people have long resisted the oppression of the English aristocracy and pursued the spirit of freedom worthy of learning from all oppressed nations in the world.
As a citizen of the Federal Empire, he will always take the initiative to help those who dare to resist.
He believed that his actions were in line with the ideals of the Federal Empire...... Because it's common sense.
William Wallace's statement shows that the people of Scotland are forever grateful for Ao Lee's help...... This has gone beyond simple friendship and reached the highest level of humanity in the whole of humanity.
Great compassion.
Selfless help.
Genuine care.
The people of Scotland will not forget hatred, let alone gratitude.
The words of the Scottish merchant indicate...... The merchants had renounced their cooperation with Duke Robert the Bruce because his actions had seriously harmed the interests of the people of Scotland.
Scottish merchants would instead work with the peasant revolt, led by William Wallace.
Well, this banquet is a banquet for everyone, and it can be regarded as a banquet of celebration and farewell.
What really matters is the private conversation between the two people.
Li Ao advised William Wallace to get rid of the Bruce family, and no nation would forgive the betrayer.
The charges and offenses are ready-made.
In the final battle, the peasant rebels captured all the musketeers...... In fact, they saw that the defeat of the English was decided, and they did not resist too much at all.
William Wallace was silent for a moment and said, "If you want to clear it, it will have to clear too many people...... Back then, I just wanted to live my own little life and didn't care about anything...... Banish the Bruce family and send them all out of Scotland, as a warning to the other nobles. ”
Li Ao sighed, this guy has a brave heart, but he is also a soft-hearted man.
He said: "You need to hit a group of nobles in the name of colluding with Edward Long-legged, and then bring a group of ...... closer"
"As long as there are nobles of fame, they have all colluded with Edward Long-legged...... How to strike, how to close? ”
Li Ao smiled, this guy has only learned the skin of oriental culture.
"Now the power is with you, and whoever you say is a conspirator, who is a conspirator...... It would be better if they all had a real conviction of collusion with Edward Longlegs, and you could just expose his crimes and condemn them...... Otherwise, what's the use of this power?
For the nobles you need, you can choose to avoid talking about it! ”
William Wallace's eyes widened and he said, "...... It's not fair! ”
Li Ao said lazily: "The art of scheming is like this, it has no fairness, no beauty and ugliness, only winning and losing!"
You've won now, and you're going to win forever, and of course you have the right to do that......"
William Wallace's face was full of distress.
Li Ao patted him on the shoulder sympathetically and said, "I very much appreciate your decision not to cross the border to hunt down the long-legged Edward, the whole of Scotland is now a big mess, if you don't integrate well, it will be useless for you to achieve a big victory...... From now on, it's all your internal affair, and I only have the right to suggest...... And I'll be leaving here soon to go to Liberty Island in the Federal Empire. ”
William Wallace reluctantly said, "If there's something, I'll go there and find you......"
"Of course, we're friends! The Governor has always been a warm-hearted host......"
