Chapter 140: It's all about acting
After a few cups of horse pee, Theodore seemed to have let go of his courage, not only expressing his dissatisfaction with the king marrying a princess at will, but also seemed to be worthless for the duke, and even made suggestions to persuade Archduke Edmund Dundees to usurp the throne.
"Presumptuous!" Archduke Edmund Dundees looked at him deeply.
"Yes!" the last general was drunk and lost his word. Theodore clenched his fists and bowed his head respectfully.
Dundees stared at the other party carefully with a serious face, and did not see any remorse or inappropriateness in the other party's expression, and secretly said in his heart: This person is available.
"Hahahaha...... You...... It's been good! I don't blame you for that. ”
After the temptation, Archduke Edmund Dundee burst out laughing and began to confide in his ambition: "What you say may not be unintentional to me. I have taken the opportunity of "recuperating from my wounds" over the years to secretly contact some reliable personnel in the army. However~ Your Majesty also has the use of Your Majesty!~ I want to recover the port of Kuawati, which is inseparable from three elements! One is the life of the shadow, helping us to hold down the Governor of Timoses. One is His Majesty's compromise of external appeasement, and the long period of peace numbs the Syndicates. There is also a patriotic and hot-blooded man in the army such as you! Wouldn't it be nice for me to drive out the invading army of the foreign colonizers for the country! I will be in this room again, strategizing, watching you act separately and recovering the territory for me!? Hahaha......
Edmund Dundees, Grand Duke Edmund Dundees, seems to be ambitious, but his actions are already biased towards obscenity and darkness, and his laughter is rampant and hoarse.
"What about after the reconquest?" said Theodore, quietly and softly, the question of his greatest concern.
"I'm king, you're going to be a duke. Archduke Edmund Dundees finally promised.
"Shadow this man...... Is it reliable?" Theodore's heart was pounding, but his years of experience in marching and fighting made him quickly suppress his excitement and calmly check the barriers one by one again.
"Rest assured. He's always been firmly in my hands. Although my wife has always pitied him, she once persuaded me to let the shadow go home. However~ how can a woman be kind to anyone who does great things? ”
Grand Duke Edmund Dundees pointed at the other party and earnestly instructed: "I called you here today to tell you. The reinforcements from the sea that I am waiting for are almost there! I have already arranged for the army to be mobilized, and I will personally take command when the time comes. And you will lead this strange soldier in the cave for me, and when the time comes, you will seize ships from the harbor and bombard the governor's palace, and join forces with the army that has risen. In one fell swoop, he took the military port, the governor's palace, and the relevant governor's subordinate yamen scattered throughout the port and stationed a certain number of troops. and the shopping streets where the 'royal merchants' of the syndicate gathered. ”
"Yes!" Theodore immediately replied.
The duke took out an obsidian stone tablet from his bosom with his right hand, and he used the battle qi to urge it to cover it up slightly, and a powerful aura and spiritual coercion that was difficult to imitate immediately flashed on it.
He handed over the magic card in his hand and instructed the other party again: "Bring this card in, once it is urged, they will know that you are their leader, and they will completely obey you." ”
"Everything is according to the Duke's arrangement. Theodore calmly accepted the token with both hands.
A moment later.
Theodore calmly walked out of the forest path and met a shadow standing quietly outside the mountain path.
"I'm sorry~" Shadow apologized for hiding his identity earlier, and made a slight gesture.
"No! Usually, you look more like a marshal than a marshal~!" Theodore stared at the shadow's face for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled and said, "In an instant, I really don't know how to face it." ”
The shadow also had a calm smile on his face, and replied indifferently seemingly casually: "I was your marshal before, and I will still be your marshal in the future." That's it!"
Theodore nodded silently on the surface, but in his heart~ he was a little disappreciative of this low-born stand-in, so he walked away from the mountain trail.
The shadow hung its chin slightly behind him, squinting his eyes, and there was no trace of sadness or joy on his face.
......
Inside the royal palace.
King Samuel leaned on the handrail of the terrace and looked out the window at the sparse rain.
The rain grew heavier, blurring the distant boats, sounds, and fires.
"Even if the sky is cloudy and rainy~ the mist is misty, it wins!" "The king of AIDS did not show it on his face, and his heart was also full of eagerness to recover the port of Kuawati. "It's been raining for four days, hasn't it? If it rains for another three days, the river will rise, and it will overflow the outer wharves and low-lying areas of the port city of Kuawati!~ When the sea is covered with a thick fog, the people in the city will definitely be completely unguarded. ”
He turned to the eldest princess, who was stinking at him and said nothing, "The Marquis of Dundee will definitely choose to fight Emperor Moses at this time. Win or lose, the time has come!" said King Mak, full of ambition and a strange smile on his face. It's like playing chess ~ just ~ the difference between who is the chess piece and who is the chess player. Until the end, it will never be fully revealed. ”
"Then you let me marry a fool?" the eldest princess suddenly turned her head and asked with a sad look on her lips when she heard this. "It's also your move?"
"That's just an expedient measure!~ How can I be willing to marry you to a fool~" King AIDS still has some sincere and deep feelings for his sister who has depended on him since childhood, and when he saw that she was petty, he hurriedly waved his hand to apologize and said: "Your move is fake! Brother Wang lied to them." ”
"Then you didn't even talk to me in advance. You used to tell me everything, but now you hide everything from me! I'm not a vase~ I'll definitely prove my usefulness. Woo woo woo ...... "The eldest princess felt that her ability was being despised and inexplicably felt tears welling up, and she ran away after yelling at Brother Wang like tears.
The eldest princess ran away.
The king who left AIDS Mai sighed helplessly, frowning alone, he was really helpless against his naïve sister.
But this may not be the only way left by the previous king's foresight to avoid the sparse royal lineage, power struggle, and fratricide between brothers and sisters......
Wait until this time is over.
It's time to really find a good in-law for my sister to take care of~
Samuel rubbed the nerve at his temple with one of his index fingers, feeling a slight headache.
The watchtower pavilion is full of wind on many sides.
And the sea breeze is always slippery.
The king of AIDS has black eyes on his cheeks, and he patrols his land without blinking, just the luxurious placket and sleeve robe that sway back and forth, rubbing and swaying with the wind.
The king, who was alone, finally had a feeling of being overwhelmed by the coldness of the heights.
......
Approaching the three poles of the sun.
In order to show his piety, Hegel prayed to the gods in gratitude to his only lunch—two slices of half-rancid black bread left over from the previous evening, two thin slices of transparent carrots, and a few cauliflower sticks hanging with crystal droplets!
