Volume 7 Rise!Orson Manor 63 Victory Escape 01
Staring at the elven arrow in his hand, Sean's grace reversed to the twentieth day when Hawke returned from his mission to the imperial capital.
That day, Hawke suddenly sent his minotaur to bring a letter, and Sean had the letter checked and made sure it was neither poisonous nor threatening before opening him. To be honest, he was really a little curious about what was written in this arrogant brother's first personal letter.
When I opened the letter, there was only a simple sentence in it: "Brother, come to the small pavilion to drink." β
After thinking about it left and right, Sean still went. Because the location of the pavilion was very quiet, it was not conducive to assassination, and Sean thought it was safe, so he secretly took a few thieves to secretly protect him, and went to Hawke's appointment.
When I came to the small pavilion, I saw Hawke sitting alone in the small pavilion, with a few small dishes in front of him, drinking with the bull head.
At this time, it was the early autumn season, and Virgil's unique autumn berries had already borne fruit, and the pavilion was full of such fruit trees, and as far as the eye could see, it was all a field of deep orange-red fruit, and the branches were pressed heavily, and there was a kind of harvest scene that made people rejoice.
Sean waits for his men to signal safety, and at this time, he stealthily observes Hawke from behind a tree that he can't reach.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but when I saw Hawke this time, I always had a strange feeling in my heart, as if this younger brother had changed. ^^, UC e-books, debut^^ became a bit unpredictable.
I heard that after he returned from his mission, the first thing he implemented in the Silver Arrow Castle was the New Deal, which included increasing the welfare of civilians, increasing the welfare and security of soldiers, reducing taxes and taxes on goods, etc., and even paying for the construction of a water tower in the Silver Arrow Castle to learn from Cheng'an. What is surprising is that the location of this water tower is actually in a civilian area, not Hawke's private residence.
Abby scoffed at Hawke's approach, and unceremoniously pointed out that it was too late for Hawke to buy people's hearts. Sean has an inexplicable feeling about Hawke, and always feels that Hawke has changed a lot. I can't say exactly what has changed, and I can't say it, and I have a very weird feeling.
If, as Abby said, Hawke made a trip to Cheng'an, and after seeing the world, he decided to sell people's hearts, it was really too late. And now there is already an undercurrent between him, himself, and Abby, and the only ending is that two of the three will fall, and the one who survives will become Virgil's new emperor. It would be unwise not to accumulate armaments at this time, but to spend a large sum of money on the construction of water towers. It's not like shrewd Hawk would do.
Yes, of the three territories, Hawke is indeed the richest, but he is not so rich as to spend it on things like building water towers. Hawke returned that night. The thieves sent out by Sean successfully obtained a copy of the water tower information and studied this thing for a long time. Sean concluded that it was indeed a good thing, and that it would greatly improve the drinking water and irrigation systems within the territory. It is very advanced, very convenient, very conducive to the life and labor of the common people, but it will cost a lot of money. If you want to build it. The early investment is huge, and the returns will be slow. For a long time, the income and expenditure will not reach a balance, and the cost will not be recovered at all in three or five years.
So despite holding a copy of the blueprint in his hand, Sean had no intention of making this thing for anyone at all. Only two people in the whole of Virgil began to make it, one was the current emperor, the father of the three, and he built a small one for himself, located in the palace, for his own convenience. And the other one is Hawke, which is built in a big one. The location is in a civilian area.
If you buy people's hearts in this way. The cost is too high, far outweighing.
It is this approach of Hawke that is punctuating. Sean finally decided to go to this appointment. He really doesn't like the feeling that his opponent can't be mastered. ^^^^
Looking at Hawke from afar, he found that he was not wearing a royal dress that had remained unchanged for almost 10,000 years, but rather a set of civilian cloth clothes, slightly loose. Now he is rolling up his sleeves and putting his hands on the small table, smiling while looking at the fruit of the Qiufu raspberry and watching the minotaur eat. And the minotaur is simply unsightly, the cow's mouth is clattering, lying on the table and munching, and the little tail is shaking happily behind the buttocks.
The news came from his men that there was no ambush, and Sean emerged from behind the tree and walked towards Hawke. As he was about to walk up to Hawke, Sean took a heavy step and signaled that he was coming.
Hawke heard footsteps, withdrew his eyes from the Qiufu raspberry tree, stared at Sean for a while, and suddenly smiled lightly: "Brother, you are here." β
Sean paused, and then walked forward again. The first time I heard Hawke call himself like this, I felt unspeakably strange and uncomfortable. The first time I saw Hawke's smile like this, there was no arrogance or indifference, only enthusiasm to close the distance between each other.
It's just that this idea is naΓ―ve and unrealistic.
Sean forced a smile to himself and responded, "Good mood, what about looking at the trees?"
Hawke nodded: "While looking at the trees, I will wait for you." ^^^^Don't you think it's nice to look so fruitful?"
Sean said, "There's no time to notice. β
Hawke chuckled: "I should find time to take a look, and this is the first time I've found this kind of image very beautiful." It heralds the arrival of a good harvest. β
Harvest? Whose harvest? Sean couldn't help but think sensitively.
"Brother, sit here and taste the wine I brought back from Zion. I know you don't like to drink, but this one has a very light flavor and a strong citrus flavor, more like a drink than like wine. β
Sean stiffened again and coughed lightly: "You still call me Sean." You don't like that, it's not used to sounding like that. β
Hawke's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "Sean, sit." β
Sean sat down, but didn't move his glass, and asked, "What's the matter with me?" frowned: "What about your gift? What do you look like in this dress? Remember, you are the second prince of the Virgil family, not a commoner." He turned his head to look at the bull head again, and said coldly: "When did you forget even the most basic etiquette?
Hawke froze and turned his eyes to look at the Cowherd with a pleading expression.
The Cowherd wiped his mouth, turned his eyes to look at Hawke, got up and stood behind Hawke nonchalantly, and only looked at Sean with unkind eyes.
Sean untied the sword and put it within reach on the table, stretched his waist, and said, "What the hell are you looking for me?"
"It's a pity Abby didn't come, I don't think she will come. Hawke whispered.
Raising his head, he looked at Sean fixedly, and said, "Sean, I think I should give you a notice." I'll be in the race for the throne!"
Although he knew that this was a sure thing, in an instant, Sean's muscles that he couldn't restrain suddenly tightened, and his eyes shot at Hawke like electricity.
"Oh, that's good. This is the ideal and ambition of the royal heir. Sean smiled and reached for his glass. took a slight sip, turning the shock and suspicion of hearing this sentence into invisible.
Hawke had been looking at Sean, and when he saw him like this, he had to sigh slightly and say, "You're not surprised, are you?"
Sean smiled and said, "You are my younger brother, how can I not understand you? Since you were a child, you have ideals and pursuits, and your eldest brother is very proud of you." β
Listening to these words, Hawke only felt bored, and the mood of drinking had completely disappeared.
Putting down the wine glass and standing up, staring at the fruit of the Qiufu raspberry in front of him, Hawke said, "Sean, I don't know if you can listen to it." But I still have to say, otherwise our brothers will never have the opportunity to speak again. β
Sean's pupils shrank, and the green tendons on the back of his hand suddenly burst out, almost instinctively grabbing the sword.
Before his hand moved, he suddenly found that the bull head was looking at him coldly, and Hawk didn't move, so Sean stopped his hand and took another sip of wine.
The wine tasted pure, but Sean was not in the mood at all, and his mind was all focused on Hawke's words.
Hawke stood under the pavilion dressed in cloth and said slowly: "I actually wanted to be an emperor since I was a child, because it is too beautiful and powerful. Who doesn't want to stand above everyone's head and look at it from afar?, so I've been working in this direction, and I'm convinced that I'm in the best position to become an emperor. β
Hawke turned his face back, and suddenly smiled again: "Then I went on an envoy to the imperial capital, and this trip was the biggest gain of my life. I met many friends and saw many things, and I suddenly realized that there was another kind of life, simple and interesting. I know a friend whose name is Xu Zheng. You know, he is the second prince of the Samuel family, but he doesn't look like a prince at all. β
He turned back and continued, "Then I realized that the kind of life he lived was much more interesting than the life I lived, and that was what I wanted. So I suddenly don't want to be an emperor again, and I think it's not bad to be like Xu Zheng. β
"Next, I saw more, heard more, and thought more. I realized one thing, if you want to live like Xu Zheng, you must first make everyone rich, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, and live happily. So, I thought about the race for the throne again. I want to be the emperor of Virgil, implement a new policy, and make everyone's life better! Big brother, I don't want to play despicable means, I won't give up easily, Virgil's emperor, I also want to be!"
Turning his head, his eyes were bright, and his calm and calm eyes made Sean dare not look directly.
Sean covered his face with a wine glass and forced a smile: "Very good, big brother will help you." β
Hawke's face became even more gloomy, and he said in a low voice: "If you really think that you are my eldest brother, you will not tell the truth and not say a word." Xu Zheng said that the friendship of friends is sincere. Brothers can't talk well, and even friends are not as good as friends?"
Sean had completely controlled his reaction at this time, and said with a frown: "Listen to that friend's nonsense, what is a brother is not as good as a friend? Don't think about those messy things, let alone let people divide our brother's feelings." What do you want to do, tell me in advance, and I will definitely help you.
