Ojero said bluntly: "Then I'll be blunt, the current Shenghui City is like a big quagmire, everyone is stuck in the quagmire and can't extricate themselves, and you are no exception. No one can stand on the shore all the time, clean and clean, not even His Majesty in the palace, let alone you, so stop stubbornly holding a neutral attitude, which will harm you in the end. ”

"Instead of being dragged into the mud passively, you should jump into it and find a tree to lean on, and you will still be glorious when you come ashore, and who cares about the muddy water on you?" said Augero.

"I see, do you want me to give up my neutrality?", Duke Leonard nodded knowingly, "Then who are you working for, Augerro? It can't be that you have sold me four times, and none of the three princes and princesses have a share?", he said with a slight sarcasm.

"I still understand that the end result of a long bet is that it doesn't please either side. Ogero smiled bitterly and said: "You don't need to be sneering at me like this, it is precisely because of my many years of friendship with you that I am here to analyze the benefits and disadvantages with you in a good voice and persuade patiently." Please don't forget, although you are the general of the City Guard, I am also the Chief of Staff of the City Guard, and you are not the only one who owns the City Guard. As he spoke, he straightened his waist, and his upright figure stood in the night, like a spear that would not bend, exuding a fierce momentum, but in an instant, the middle-aged man who was always smiling just now immediately became a battle-hardened warrior.

"I am working for the Grand Prince, His Highness Lance Grievous. Ogereo said solemnly.

"The Great Prince? Why did you choose this Highness instead of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is now gaining momentum and has the support of the Holy Sect? In terms of the possibility of success, this Highness is the most promising, isn't it?", Duke Leonard asked rhetorically.

To Duke Leonard's question, Augereau did not answer, but said firmly: "I think the eldest prince is the most suitable person, he has the means to carry this country, not to sell this country to others." ”

"I see, you still can't let go of the so-called noble glory?", Duke Leonard sighed, he bowed his head slightly and pondered for a moment, and then said: "I know why you chose the Great Prince, in addition to worrying that the noble class will be replaced by the priesthood system of the Holy Religion, the Medici family in the south has also given you a promise, right?"

He looked back at the bustling hall, "I just felt that something was wrong, why are all the people in your family gone, I'm afraid they are all in the south now?", Duke Leonard turned to look at Augereau again, "I really didn't expect you to choose this path." Perhaps it was the disdain and pity in his eyes that stung Ogereau, who began to gush on and on.

"Actually, you should be able to think of it, isn't it?Lord Duke, apart from a very small number of old men in the City Guard, few people know about the proud family of Pierre Augereau, the chief of staff of the City Guard, and the Pierre family was in fact nothing more than a broken family in the past. ”

With his back against the railing, Ogero looked deeply at the golden hall and the bustling lights inside, and continued: "I still remember the poverty and embarrassment of my family when I was a child, although the house looked magnificent on the outside, but on the inside it was dilapidated, and the skin of this hall was all cracked and peeled off, and it looked hideous and ugly. Because I can't afford to hire a servant, the house is big, and the corners are full of large and small cobwebs, as well as all kinds of cockroaches and rats running around, which are inferior to ordinary people. ”

"What's even more ridiculous is that I have a fantasist father who is obsessed with the glorious past of the family, and although the family is so poor that he can't even open the pot, he always maintains an aristocratic style, always going to those balls, dinners and hunts, and constantly selling the few possessions of the family to maintain the so-called dignity of the family, and for a while my mother even had to change her face and go to some tailor shop and pulp washing shop to find work, so that she can barely support the family's expenses. ”

"This dire situation lasted for a long time, and it was not until I joined the City Guard that it was alleviated. "As I rose through the ranks, the hall was renovated, and a fireplace was added to the house, and my mother, who had been ill from work, had no time stooping to mop the floor, but had the money to hire servants, and the family had at last been able to hold a ball, and my father could at last be the center of the ball, instead of a wretched wretched wretch." I married a noble lady and passed on the blood of the nobles, all because I became the chief of staff of the city guard. ”

"And if I lose this position, can I bear it, can my family? my father, my mother, my wife, my children, can they bear it?", Augereau looked at Duke Leonard and shook his head, "With a golden spoon in your mouth, you from a noble family will not understand." He repeated, "You won't understand." ”

"yes, I won't get it. Duke Leonard also stared at Augreau, "I'm just a very pure soldier, maybe you have your troubles, Pierre." I've said a long time ago that you're more like a nobleman than a soldier, and you may value your family, your family, and your aristocratic status, and I value only the same. ”

As he spoke, Duke Leonard pointed to the violet badge on his military uniform, "It's just the duty of a soldier." When the army is in the army, the shield of the state, the sword of the state, the spear of the state, and the army can only become the murder weapon of blood, not the hand holding the murder weapon, and cannot become the brain of the murder weapon. ”

"What's more, you just said that you want me to give up my neutral attitude, but I have never been neutral, and my attitude has been made clear from the beginning. ", said Duke Leonard.

"How is that possible? Which one do you support? I have never heard you say before? You used to be impartial to any prince you treated before. Augereau said in surprise.

"I have always supported His Majesty, Grievous the Great, who was, is, and will be. Duke Leonard said meaningfully: "The enemy's place is where my sword goes, and it is also where the sword of the city guard goes." ”
