Chapter 168: The Ritual (Part II)

Vincent frowned slightly when he heard Xiao Yi's question, of course he hadn't forgotten what he promised Xiao Yi!

That is the most important condition why Xiao Yi is willing to follow him to the front line in person, but if it weren't for the position of the monarch of the country, Vincent was almost 100% sure that he would go back on his word. ? n?en? ??? .?r?a?n?? e?n `o?r?g?

In the army, he openly resigned himself to Neuer Vallai, the deputy of the scout battalion of the former field army who cooperated with the royal spy organization "Dire" to carry out the secret orders of the military headquarters four years ago, and the 145 people who died heroically in the mission together.

Not to mention how much repercussions will be caused by uncovering a public case that has been buried for a long time, but those who are unwilling to help people redress their grievances are not entirely for ugly purposes, but they cannot avoid someone taking responsibility for this, and with the growth of time, the number of people responsible for this and the culpability often increase year-on-year.

After all, in addition to the loyalty of the courtiers, if the announcement of this matter in the army has a bad impact on morale and the prestige of the commander, it will definitely not be worth the loss.

"When do you want to do it?" asked Vincent, muttering.

"If you can do it as soon as possible? I heard that the number of dead in our army is approaching 10,000, if possible, I want to pay tribute to the scout camp brothers who died unjustly before tomorrow, they are all hot-blooded men who defend their homes and defend the country, even if they can't return to their hometown, at least it's worth enjoying the thoughts of the living, Your Majesty thinks it's okay!"

"In principle, I don't have any opinions, but it involves the military affairs and personnel of the camp, and the detailed arrangements should be more cautious. It just so happens that all the generals are here, so let's discuss this matter!"

Vincent knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he simply announced the content of the agreement between him and Xiao Yi directly, and briefly recounted the relevant events four years ago relatively fairly, and finally closed his voice silently folded his hands between his mouth and nose, covering the expression on his face, and waiting for a cadre of generals in the camp to speak.

Xiao Yi didn't expect Vincent to bring this matter to the surface, because in his eyes, this matter has a bit of conspiracy from beginning to end, so it was secretive to mention it before, and he vaguely pointed out in front of everyone this time to force Vincent to promise to give Neuer them a name, as for the so-called black hand behind him, he was not interested in asking and pursuing it, but he really didn't expect it to be thrown out for everyone to discuss, and the next development made him see something different。

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that it is impossible! Our army has just returned from a great victory, this move will inevitably cast a shadow on the high morale, the entire Xizhen garrison has not felt so happy and dripping in the past ten years, at this time must not chill the hearts of the soldiers!"

A majestic general stood up and said, Xiao Yi remembered that he was one of the generals who belonged to the same active main battle as Wright, who had been killed before, and was called Jason.

Immediately after, Evans, known as a wise general, also stood up and announced:

"It's true that the deceased soldiers do need to pay tribute, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to take advantage of this time to overturn the case for the people in the field army scout camp, and besides, there is a lot involved, so it's best to think in the long run!"

Francisco, who was a non-voting representative of the military staff and other civilian officials, also took the opportunity to interject: "Mr. Xiao, although we are grateful for your timely assistance and merit this time, but one yard is one yard! Let's not talk about whether it is appropriate to announce this matter, but as far as the facts are concerned, this practice is also open to discussion, and you have only listened to one-sided words about what you really want to do about this matter, and since there was a public opinion four years ago, it has proved that it is not entirely unreasonable!"

Of course, I'm not saying that you have been deceived, but I personally have reservations about whether it is rigorous to do so without figuring out the truth!"

Shocked, absolutely shocked! Xiao Yi was not shocked why everyone was against him, but shocked that he had indeed imagined this matter a little too simplistic before! In fact, he understood what these people were thinking at the moment.

First of all, judging from the speed of these people's reactions, it almost didn't take a few breaths, which can only show that everyone present was not surprised by Vincent's true thoughts, in other words, most of them were actually pretending to understand. There are scruples about purely military purposes, as Jason said, once a soldier loses trust in the general and the military department, the consequences are not something that anyone can afford.

Moreover, as the hidden signal released in Evans's words, in fact, from the perspective of the Western Army itself, they are not without opinion on the deployment of the field army back then, running to the territory of their border guards and acting without authorization, even if it is all out of public interest, it is necessary to distinguish between factions and immediate interests, and in terms of the current situation, this is a somewhat long-standing case that cannot be moved, but it is not as important as the recent brother Robe.

and then to a figure like Francisco, who bears the obvious mark of a politician, has even begun to use political sophistry to pour dirty water on the sufferer in order to achieve his own goals, and he has a cautious and fair face on the surface, but in fact it has a disgusting hypocrisy.

Xiao Yi hated being involved in such complicated relationships and battles, but he had to stand his ground, because this matter was raised with his current prestige in the Western Army and Vincent's status, and if someone else wanted to overturn the case, it would be impossible to say that the souls of Neuer and his hundred or so brothers would never be able to turn over, which was definitely not the result he wanted to see.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yi continued to say to Vincent: "Your Majesty Mingjian, I am just a small businessman who knows a little bit of alchemy skills, and I don't know any big truths. But my teachers have always taught me that 'no one can stand without faith', and I just ask you to keep your promises and don't care about anything else. But at the same time, I can also understand your difficulties, if you find it difficult, just refuse on the spot, I, Xiao Yi, will immediately set off for the royal capital, and never mention this matter again!"

The man at the table was speechless, for he had already pointed out that this was strictly a private promise, and that the key to a king's promise to his subjects was not whether it was appropriate but whether it was fulfilled or not.

Therefore, after some muttering, His Majesty immediately issued a strong order and agreed to Xiao Yi's request.

And then among the people who were silenced by the dictatorship, only Evans continued to admonish:

"Since Your Majesty's holy will has been decided, we should obey it, just to minimize the impact on the soldiers, the last general earnestly asks for the execution of the Mainke captives at tomorrow's sacrifice to strengthen the prestige of our army, and please ask Your Majesty's permission!" )
