Chapter 165: Not all the way
Just as Snow Scar was embarrassed, Hemod suddenly put down his glass and spoke, "Do you want to know about the piano? ”
Snow Scar breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately it wasn't "treat my daughter well." He nodded hurriedly and sat upright.
Hemod opened the wooden box, took out the cigar, cut off the seal and lit it, and took a deep breath, the smoke rising like steam.
"There is a girl whose father is the Grand Duke of Northern Ao, one of the three princes of the Emperor, and her mother is a princess of the royal family of Sulla, who is married. ”
Although I don't know why Hemod tells the story in the third person, this so-called "one girl" is obviously the piano.
Hearing this, Xue Scar was shocked, and it turned out that Jean's mother was a princess of the Sula royal family. She's really rooted.
He knew that Sulla was Curry's country, bordering North Olympics to the east.
In 917, Sulla declared war on the Northern Austrians, a disparity against aggression, and on the first day of the war, Sulla advanced 30 kilometers to the capital of the Northern Austrians. The opponent took the lead with the capable, and the three corps of the Northern Ao suffered heavy losses, and the defense line was almost completely routed.
"The girl was in the capital with her sister and mother at the time, and it was no longer safe to evacuate, so it was important to evacuate as soon as possible.
Instead of returning to Fort Carlyle by land, they chose to take the water, and the girl's mother took her south to board the ship at Port Vebao.
But when the ship left the port, the girl and her sister realized that the ship was not bound for the hinterland of North Austria, but, on the contrary, to Imperial Sulla.
It turned out that their mother saw that Sulla's army was in full swing and had no hope of winning the war. Hence the decision to defect. I can understand her choice - she was originally the princess of Sula, and it is better to return to Sulla after the country is ruined, and it can be understood that she will return to Sulla. ”
Speaking of this, Hemod took a deep breath of cigarette, and from the smoke, the snow marks seemed to see the steel-like good man Hemod's eyes showed a trace of loneliness.
Snow Scar seemed to understand why he was telling this story from an outsider's point of view, because this story was also a very unpleasant memory for him, and only by telling it as an irrelevant third person could he not touch the pain in his heart.
"She is a woman who understands politics very well, and she is very calculating, and her arrangements are so seamless that she has gone from the capital to the port of maintenance, and even the knights of the family I sent have been bribed or disposed of by her, and they have successfully boarded the ship and gone to Sula.
"The girl who had already boarded the boat knew that her mother was going to take her to Sula, so she could only choose to accept it, after all, the daughter still had a better relationship with her mother. Of course, this is not the only reason. What's more, she saw the unstoppable momentum of Sulla's army along the way, and also saw the scene of the defeat of the Northern Austrian soldiers, and saw the devastated land by the war. She was desperate. ”
Snowmark imagined a large ship carrying Jean and Suvia, sounding its whistle, leaving the port, leaving her ruined homeland and going to her grandmother's house, the enemy country that had waged a war of aggression and brought all this pain upon them. That ambivalent mood made Snow Scar feel a little sad.
Qin's impression in Xuezhen's heart has always been cold, upright and even omnipotent, and now when he hears that Qin was forced to make such a choice, he regrets that at the same time he also feels that Qin has some human touch, she turned out to be an ordinary person, with the joys, sorrows, sorrows and forced compromises of ordinary people.
"Then my sister asked her, 'We are going to leave our country and go to the enemy country, don't you resist?' She said: 'The war will end, and we will come back as soon as the war is over, but by that time, it may be that the Northern Austrian Empire has already been incorporated into the territory of Sulla...... So I don't refuse, I've made my choice. ’”
Snow Marks imagined that Suvia, who didn't care about the world, asked Qin how uncomfortable it was to be forced to make such a choice.
"My sister said, 'Sulla will not win this war. When the girl asked why, the sister said, 'Because Sulla is waging an unjust war, and the gods of justice are on the side of North Ao, they will surely lose......!'
The girl felt the change in her sister, but it was too late.
So, at this moment, my sister struck, and she stabbed her sister to death. Hemod took a sip of his wine, his tone flat as if he were saying something inconsequential, but he was actually talking about his daughter's death.
Wait, what?
Snow was confused and shocked, Jean was killed by Suvia?
How is this possible?
Hemod glanced at the snow marks and smiled slightly, feeling that he had succeeded in his prank: "I originally had three daughters, the eldest daughter Peggy and Jean are sisters, Suvia was born to my second wife, and Jean is a half-sister. ”
Snow Marks gradually realized that the girl was not referring to Jean, but Jean's sister Peggy.
Looking back on this story again, it's completely different.
It turned out that Peggy chose to defect to the enemy country, and Jean, as a younger sister, chose Beiao. Jean stabbed her sister Peggy to death on the boat!
This...... It's incredible!
"Yes, that's right, it's Peggy and Jean on the boat, Peggy has given up on North Ao, and Jean can't accept it, she stabbed her sister to death and jumped into the ice sea, swam back to Weibao Port, and returned to the land of North Ao, she came back because of her love for the motherland, because of her belief in justice. As it turned out, she was right, the North Olympics won the war against aggression, the Nord family became the head of the three families, and she is now the most important daughter of the family and my most important child. ”
The impact of this story on the snow marks was so great that he could not imagine that Jean was so ruthless, nor could he imagine that she had made such a great sacrifice for justice and the country, and he could not imagine that Hemod was so calm when telling the story of his daughter's cannibalism. He even expressed sadness when he told about his wife's defection, but he seemed indifferent to his daughter's death.
"I guess you're wondering why I was able to tell so calmly about my daughter's death. That's because Peggy is no longer my daughter, since he betrayed his country, she is no longer the daughter of my Nord family, she is no longer my daughter of Hermod. ”
In cold blood.
The room was hotter, and Snow Scar was restless.
Hemod drank the wine from his glass and stood up, his red face not knowing whether it was because of the wine or the hot air.
"Boy, you know who Jean is now. ”
Xuejin frowned, Qin killed his own sister for the sake of the motherland and justice, is this right or wrong? In Xuejin's opinion, it is incomprehensible, but in the eyes of Hemod and the people of Beiao, this is the right choice, and it is the choice that the county lord of Beiao should choose.
As soon as Houmen entered the sea, it was as deep as the sea.
For them, "sister" is sometimes just a political word.
This choice is incomprehensible, but Jean's ruthlessness is beyond his imagination.
Beneath her cold exterior, there was an even colder heart.
Snow marks are a little scared.
The most terrifying beasts in the jungle are not the big animals with their teeth and claws.
For example, white bears, although they are powerful, they are not crazy.
The most terrifying are the ruthless social animals, such as the winged monkey and the iron-jawed wolf, which ruthlessly chase away wounded or aged companions in order to keep the entire colony combative, which is brutal and effective, and thus they have thrived to this day.
Hemod looked at the stunned snow marks and smiled with satisfaction: "Understood, boy, Qin and you are not all the way at all, she is destined to belong to Beiao and belong to the family."
"Jean's good match is not a child of the Tass family, but it is even more unlikely that it will be you, she must marry a prince. When she marries into the royal family, we only need to use some special means...... It can even make her the queen of the North Olympics!"
What, Queen? I heard you right. Snow Scar was a little stunned.
"I heard Qin say that you are just a hunter in a small country in the East, and you can't reach the daughter of the Duke of Beiao at all with your identity. I advise you to give up as soon as possible, stay away from Jean, and I will give you what you want. ”
The atmosphere had changed, and Hemod was no longer the kind "old father-in-law".
Xue Zhen understood that his words had another meaning. He had never seen himself in the eye.
The reason why he told this story in this way was not because he didn't want to touch on the sad past, but purely to play with himself!
