(5.7 Second Update)
As the sun sets, the riverside is a time for a leisurely stroll, and the crowd is watching Si Qi's unique understanding of wild barbecue, and almost no creature will be outside his extensive menu. However, it also provided me with space for a private conversation with General Rush, which was his own request.
"The beauty of the setting sun lies in the last tenderness before the light fades, and the fall of night is always the earl's favorite acrobatic arena, playing with the cheering spectators around it. Allow me to feel the sensationalism, your ferocity is gone, speeding away where I can't see. ”
After the clean-up cemetery, there are still stains of blood, the faint dead grass hides the smell of blood, and the fish that breathe close to the river bank every day have also fled, showing a crowded scene all over the other side.
"Flattering is not a habit that a warlord should have, but since it is your compliment, grateful acceptance is the attitude I need to show now, choose the moment in the artistic conception, not just to accompany me to enjoy the scenery."
The general smiled, but there was no hint of ridicule, it was very hearty.
"A separate tryst may cause some trouble to Princess Shaya. I thought about the Earl's words, and I made the decision of leaving the military for the first time in my life, and after transporting the Prince's body back to the imperial capital, I would resign to the general, and the farmer was an easy job. But if the Count brings despair to the country, I will come back without hesitation and strike back even more forcefully. ”
"Oh. Should I be excited about the exit of my rival, or should I be sad about the degeneration of suspense? It's just that I'm curious. According to the personality you have honed in the barracks, being strong when you are strong should be the benchmark against which you are measured. Why did you suddenly choose to give up resistance, I hope it is not an impulse to surrender without a fight. ”
Squatting down and flicking the imprisoned water, the ripples slowly spread, the cool taste also echoed in the heart, the sweat stains that were steamed dry, leaving white lines on the face, splashed with water, and disappeared.
"Perhaps it was a wise choice after the collision of inspirations, but of course it does not preclude reckless decisions. The Count's form of existence is unattainable to me. In my decades of career, I am also an executioner with blood on my hands, and I have even given orders to slaughter cities. But the Earl is different, I have always had the impression of being a teenager who likes to play with power, until what I have seen and heard today, the Earl's style of doing things has completely shocked me, and all the raw materials used up are destroyed, and the promise of renegligent renegment has laid the groundwork for the life of the people. I dare not imagine, a head-on conflict with you. My odds are in good percentage. ”
Some of the general's subtle expressions are even more beautifying the image, not a conspiracy against me, but a warning to those who come after me not to lose their precious lives in senseless battles. Of course, his shirk can still stand firm. But I'm still willing to serve as a springboard for his retirement, and I don't need a reason to give up.
"Perfunctory generalizations may deprive you of some of your material comforts, the role of a prince. He will not willingly be reduced to an inferior commoner because of a temporary wreck, so the promise is meaningless to him. But you're different. I promised the eldest lady to return her former home, and that was what the princess had heard. In chronological order, you can only dismantle the backstage and satisfy the former, which can help you complete the task by the way, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"The Earl's ambition will not be something that can be succumbed to a simple two interests, secretly killing the leader of the barbarians and blaming the government, the situation will be clearer at that time, an encirclement woven by a huge network can instantly shatter the solid land, this is the trap you laid around the chessboard."
"Shhhh The secret is perfect! ”
I made a quiet gesture to stop the general's right to speak, and instead of continuing the complicated topic, he threw a boulder into the river, and the huge splash of water scattered on my clothes, the cool feeling of summer was bone-chilling.
"Ahem, it's time to get to the point. I have heard the rhetoric of the Count's statecraft, which is challenging, but does not contradict the principles of nature. The great power, which was once strong and dominated one side, fell apart because of family strife, although that era is very old, but it is still worth remembering. ”
Before I knew it, I was at the root of a waterfall and the end of the land, where a towering ancient tree blocked the way forward, and I began to recall the memories of the past.
"More than a thousand years of confusion, nature has also re-given birth to different civilizations, over the years of estrangement between each other has worn out many similar properties, in fact, when it comes to the once glorious Ambitamsk Empire, I am afraid that few people know about it, and it is impossible to talk about the restoration of the country, perhaps it is a deep obsession that makes me return to my former origins. Now that the general has already done his research, he must have some idea of my specific operating philosophy. ”
"That's a novel idea! The alternative way of colonization is unprecedented, and to harness the mind without conquering the land is at least an abnormal move that our armies cannot understand. Although it has not yielded results so far, it must be a trustworthy way for outsiders like me to be confident. ”
The general's apparent explanation was in fact frank and honest, and my philosophy of statecraft had only been briefly expounded to that gentleman once since I entered the territory of the Turanian kingdom, and according to the warden's character, he would not freely share great secrets with anyone except in the case of an equally trustworthy friend.
"What are you thinking, Count?"
Seeing me in a trance, the general called out to me to go away, pulled back to the edge of the waterfall, and one step further was to fall into the snow-white abyss.
"Since it's all honest without scruples, I might as well say it directly, that gentleman should have arrived!"
"Hmph, nothing escapes the Count's sharp eyes, he is an old friend of mine, and he has saved my life from starving to death in the streets. His surprise visit in the middle of the night a few days ago made me realize the seriousness of the situation. As a soldier, I hope to die on the battlefield, and as an ordinary person, I also hope to repay the kindness I once had, and the dilemma made me have the idea of avoiding it. ”
"So you're not willing to fight alongside us, are you?"
"Yes, please forgive me for being selfish, but also please understand my difficulties, it is difficult to make a choice when I am a mentor and a good friend on the other, so giving up becomes the best decision."
The general looked at the waterfall that sank into the trough, paused his thoughts, and bit his lip helplessly, but it was no longer to help, the word pedantic was now a perfect match for him.
"Don't be too sad, although I don't understand the proverbs of the oath in the army, absolute obedience cannot be violated, but the original intention is for the good of the country. Although you will not be able to continue to participate in the rest of the work, I vaguely feel that this is not the end for you, no matter who the winner is, you will be reactivated, and that is when it is time for you to show your ambitions. There is no need to rush to deny, and when that time comes, if I am still alive, then continue our conversation that has not yet ended today. ”
I tried to pat the general on the shoulder, but once again I was limited by my height, and I could only touch his solid chest, and the strong muscles I had trained lost their former vitality.
"Earl, your actions may cause some misunderstandings among the princesses, and I don't want to take the responsibility of brewing a tragedy in my heart that I can't untie, whether it is close to nature or not, makes it clear and easy for me to speak."
"Then congratulations that you have escaped from the front line of chaos and disputes, the sky is the limit of birds, how fast you can fly with your wings, you are now a lost bird, fly at will. Can you tell me where I am? Your current leader must have commanded something. ”
"Yes, just let me finish one last service, including gratitude for your indulgence. The Earl has not yet been summoned by the royal family when he arrives in the Imperial Capital, so please allow us to slack off on our preparations and prepare the most splendid etiquette for you. Just last night, news came out in the palace that the princess will meet you tomorrow morning, and there will be a special ceremony, and I will go to the embassy at ten o'clock in the morning to escort the count, after all, there are many lawbreakers who covet the count's beauty on the road! ”
The general held my chin and looked at me affectionately, the shyness almost suffocated me, listening to each other's heartbeats fluttering.
"Cut, I didn't expect that a short contact would make you learn Siqi's set, and sure enough, you don't need too many reasons to pass on the fun?"
"Who knows!"
"Eh, what are you two doing?"
Xiao Yi, who came to call for us to eat, covered her face, couldn't bear to look directly at the exciting picture in front of her, and then hurriedly ran away, sure enough, the little girl couldn't understand the meaning, and I couldn't understand it either.
"Won't the Count catch up and explain the misunderstanding?"
"Since it's a misunderstanding, it's hard to explain clearly, leave the suspense, the eldest lady may prefer to listen to beautiful stories."
"Oh, it's the Wicked Earl."
