205 a game of chess
When the Calais violently attacked the forward battalion, the heart of the military and political government hung in the air, but his heart was not for the war of the forward battalion, but for the conspiracy hidden in his heart. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the early hours of the morning after the reinforcement meeting, he received a mysterious visitor, who claimed to be an old friend of his hometown, and when he heard the name of that person, the whole person immediately became nervous, and his heart was even more chuckled, "Is the eldest brother really ready to do it?"
The battle in the forward battalion is tight, and someone will tell Archduke Julio that according to common sense, at this time, Julio should urgently transfer troops from all over the country and quickly reinforce it, but the entire principality is as calm as a pool of stagnant water, and there is no movement in the archduke, and at this time, what does this mysterious visitor mean?
Military and political Ri'an. Vest hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and walked out of the big tent to greet him, the mysterious visitor just nodded at him, and then flashed into the big tent, and the military and government looked around, and then ordered the guards, "You are so guarded, no one is allowed to step into half a step." Then he turned and followed.
The two went straight into the inner tent, and the military and political hurriedly moved a chair, but saw that the mysterious visitor was already sitting in his seat, slowly taking off his wide cloak and hat, and said to him in a sharp voice, "Rian, you can sit down too, tell me how the situation is on your side?"
The anger in the belly of the military and government, a small envoy of the Dharma Palace, turned out to be such a big pomp in front of him, he really wanted to blast this annoying person out, but when he thought of the powerful Dharma Hall behind him, he still patiently accompanied the smile and said, "Haven't asked this adult what to call him?"
"I am a close attendant beside the Great Elder, you can call me Pound, although I am a small inner temple mage in the Dharma Hall, but it is not an exaggeration for you to call me an adult here, now tell me about the situation on your side. ”
Listening to this Pound's duck-like cry, coupled with his arrogant attitude, the military administration was eager to strangle him to death, so he sat down forcibly, and tried to briefly explain the situation here with a smiling face.
Pound couldn't help but nodded, "Well, you did a good job, you will give an order in a while, let the people of Lille County stationed on the Shili Pavilion Trail retreat." ”
"My lord, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Jun Zheng said cautiously, but when he saw that Pang De's face suddenly sank, "Well, what, didn't I understand what I said? I asked you to withdraw the men and horses of Shili Pavilion." ”
"Yes, I understand here, but once the place is withdrawn, I am afraid that the Calais will take the opportunity to sneak attack the rear of our army, and I am afraid that 、、、 then" Before he could finish speaking, Pound slapped the table fiercely, "Bastard, now is for you to carry out the orders of the Great Elder, I am not here to listen to your excuse to push back." ”
The scene suddenly became tense, Junzheng's face couldn't help twitching for a while, Pound saw his strange face and couldn't help but ease up and said softly, "Rian, don't hesitate, all this is in the arrangement of the Great Elder, after you withdraw the army, someone will send this news to the Calais, and then they will not be interested in your army, but will go straight to the mercenary city, because now that annoying little Julio is there." ”
"Ahh
"Don't panic, the war is tight here, and it is reasonable for Shili Pavilion to transfer troops from Shili Pavilion, who has never made any movement, and besides, with the support of the Great Elder behind him, are you still afraid that someone will have objections? Wait until the Calais sneak attack the mercenary city and capture that Julio, and then we will send someone to rescue us, so that the two sides are in the middle of the competition, and a little accident occurs, isn't it all normal? At that time, the Grand Duke Julio has no descendants, so naturally this principality will be your West's family. After Pound finished speaking, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and gently pinch it with his fingers to wipe the corners of his mouth, and then fanned his nose again, his eyes looked around the environment in the tent, regardless of the shocked speechless military government, "The environment here is really simple, I want to live here for a few days, you arrange a clean tent for me, remember to pick a few people with clean hands and feet to serve me, I can't stand those rude soldiers clumsy." ”
Jun Zheng couldn't help gritting his teeth, trying to calm the anger in his chest, and forced out a smile, "Lord Pound is willing to appreciate the light and live here with me, it is really a great honor, I will definitely arrange it for you." ”
After sending off the messenger, the military administration returned to the back account, picked up a rag and wiped the tables and chairs fiercely, suddenly threw the rag on the ground, and then stepped on it angrily, and shouted again, "Someone," the guards hurriedly ran in, "Take out these tables and chairs for me and burn them." ”
"My lord, this is your favorite table and chair, it really 、、、" "Didn't you understand what I said, I'll let you take it out and burn it, and don't even leave the ashes!" The military and political lions roared angrily, making the guards tremble with fright.
When the guards really came to move the tables and chairs, the sanity of the military and politics reoccupied his brain, "Forget it, set up the tables and chairs, and you all go out." ”
A feeling of powerlessness swept through his body, making him sit heavily on the chair, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, "Big brother, big brother, what are you doing all this for?" Although little Julio is wary of us everywhere, at least he still respects us very much, you see that this Pound today is just a personal servant of the Great Elder, and he is so arrogant to me, even if we really seize the authority of the principality, will we not be reduced to the house slaves of the Great Elder at that time? Are you willing to let such villains sit on our heads? I am afraid that it is better to be a governor under Julio and be feared by everyone. ”
Complaining is complaining, but things still have to be done, Jun Zheng quickly wrote down an order, called the most intimate guard, and asked him to hurry to the Shili Pavilion garrison, after doing this, Jun Zheng picked up a piece of military affairs next to him, but he didn't have the heart to look at it, he couldn't help but throw it on the table, walked to the side of the bed and lay down in his clothes.
Three days later, at noon, in the mercenary city, Grand Duke Julio walked into Grena's small parlor after lunch, "Grena, can you pour me a glass of your secret wine from the Rose Hotel?"
Grena hurriedly walked over and filled him with a glass in person, and politely brought it to him, "Grand Duke, why are you so interested today?
"Not only do I want to drink today, but I also want to find someone to play chess, I wonder if the beautiful Greiner is willing to appreciate it?" the Grand Duke sat there and picked up his wine glass, gently smelling the mellow aroma of wine, "Sure enough, I knew that your wine here is so good, I should have tasted it a long time ago." ”
Grena took the chessboard and gently placed it on the coffee table, and then skillfully arranged the chess pieces, "If you are interested, then I will reluctantly play a few games with you, but I am afraid that my chess skills will disappoint you." ”
"Why, you didn't get discouraged first? This doesn't look like the head of an SS-class mercenary group. Julio took a sip of wine, but sighed again, "Hey, I really miss the days when I was a child, when my best friend and I studied and practiced together every day, often sneaked into my father's room to steal wine, took it back to our small room, and played chess while drinking, although the chess skills were very bad at that time, but the momentum was quite like a master, think about those days are really beautiful, if I can go back to the past, I would rather not be this grand duke." ”
Grena suddenly shook her hand and almost dropped the chess pieces on the board, she couldn't help but quickly look at Julio's expression, and found that the other party was immersed in the good memories of the past, and couldn't help but ask carefully, "What's wrong with you, Grand Duke?"
"Oh, hehe, I was infected by your wine, and I remembered those old things and made you smile. Julio's words always felt so polite, but every word in Grenala's ears made her extra careful, lest she be infected by his tone and say something she shouldn't say.
"Unexpectedly, you still remember the events of many years ago, and I think this friend of yours must be very important to you. Grena asked cautiously, and Julio looked at her at the moment and smiled, "This friend of mine actually you know, do you want to know who he is?"
This sentence shocked Grena again, "He's Rega." Hearing Julio's words, Grena calmed down with a smile on her face.
"Why aren't you surprised?" Julio was a little surprised by this performance, and Grena said with a smile, "Actually, there is nothing surprising about it, with the temperament and extraordinary cultivation of Brother Regg, I think it is strange that you are not friends with him, Grand Duke." ”
"Oh? hahaha, it seems that you have already guessed it in your heart, but I seem to be stingy, okay, let's not talk about this, let's play chess." As he spoke, Julio stretched out his hand to Grena and motioned for her to go first, and Grena casually made a soldier before the king, and the Grand Duke also casually brought up the corresponding soldier.
In this way, the two started a battle on the chessboard, and gradually reached the middle game, which made Grena feel very strange that the Grand Duke never translegated the king, leaving the king in a dangerous place, and all his seeds also launched a crazy attack, and there was a great posture of never returning.
In the face of the Grand Duke's pressing step by step, Grena began to ponder, this game of chess she did not have no chance of winning, and she is now thinking about the question of whether to win, and finally she made up her mind, the queen moved a position, so that the whole battle situation will be completely changed, the Grand Duke is afraid that the attack behind this hand is a little unprepared, that knows that with the Grand Duke's horse jumping, finally formed a clever siege of Grena , although it is only dangerous now, but after careful thinking, she still chose to throw in the towel.
This game of chess made Grena feel strange, if the Grand Duke had transposed the king in advance, maybe he would have won more safely, from her face the Grand Duke had already seen her question, and couldn't help but smile while sorting out the chess pieces, while saying, "Do you think I am going too dangerous?"
Grena nodded honestly, and the Grand Duke couldn't help but sigh softly, "Why don't I want to make my place safer?" But now there is no time or time for me to hide in a safe place, not only the fierce attack of the enemy outside against me, but also the potential enemies in the principality are also taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos, I can only take a dangerous move and rely on one step to solve the current crisis. ”
Even if Grena was stupid, she could hear the sound outside the strings, not to mention that she was an extremely smart woman, so she couldn't help but stop and look at the Grand Duke, "I don't know what I can do below?"
The Grand Duke couldn't help but stop when he heard this, he didn't expect that his short words would make Grena see through his thoughts, and after thinking about it for a while, the Grand Duke simply said directly, "I want to borrow troops from you." ”
"Borrow troops, Grand Duke, are you overestimating the strength of our small mercenary group? Even if I lend you the entire mercenary group, I'm afraid it will only be a few thousand. ”
The Grand Duke smiled, "Grena, we can be considered friends no matter how we talk about Regg, but what you said makes me feel sad, you have never regarded me as a friend in your heart." ”
Grena suddenly stood up nervously, but the Grand Duke smiled and waved his hand to signal her to sit down, "I know that your Rose Regiment has secretly developed at least ten subsidiary regiments, and the total strength is probably more than tens of thousands, and after Reg left, you mobilized all your forces around the mercenary city, just to prevent other mercenary groups from posing a threat to you, I am not wrong." ”
After saying this, Grena's face changed, but she immediately returned to normal, and couldn't help laughing, "I really can't hide anything from you, the Grand Duke, let's say, when do you plan to use it?"
"So you agreed?" "Of course, if I don't agree, don't you think I'm not a friend?" Julio didn't finally laugh until this moment, "I finally understand why Reg chose you in the first place, your cleverness is something I've never seen before, since we're friends then I'll tell you the truth, I'm going to have a few full of guards around me now, and there is no one left, and now the people who want to kill me are probably already on the way, if it's fast, I'm afraid I'll be able to see them outside the city tonight." ”
Grena couldn't help but nodded, then stood up and quickly opened the door of the small living room and shouted outside, "Go and call Wolf, besides, no one is allowed to approach the small living room today, the upstairs and downstairs are all shown to me, whoever dares to approach will be hacked to death." ”
The Grand Duke smiled and shook his head, and when Grena sat back on the opposite side, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't you even ask who wants to kill me, and just lend me the men and horses?
"What if you know, will you change your mind?" Grena smiled and looked at the Grand Duke, but saw him shake his head, "It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I can't die at this time, otherwise the Duchy will completely fall into the hands of others and become their slaves." ”
Grena waved her hand, and said with a mysterious smile, "I don't want to know any of this, because the more I know, the more trouble I will have, since you are my friend, then we will do everything according to the rules of friends, you tell me your conditions, we are mercenaries, of course, we can't all go out to help you without any benefits." ”
A sentence made the Grand Duke laugh at this, "You are really too smart, no matter when you choose a good retreat for yourself, such offensive and defensive tricks are no wonder your rose group will develop so fast, but sometimes people have to dare to fight, otherwise the great opportunity will be missed in vain, okay I will say what I can offer." ”
"What? you can't lie to me, these two mines and woodworks are a lot of money, and they are now owned by the Red Dragon Mercenary Regiment, you can't write empty checks. Grena couldn't believe her ears, the Grand Duke said that the wood mill was the best piece of wood, and this one alone already made her heartbroken, not to mention that there was another more exciting cuprite mine.
Dagong told her to calm down, "You heard it right, if the matter is successful, these two places will belong to your Rose Mercenary Group in the near future, and if you fail, you can also get a lot of commissions, are you satisfied with such conditions?"
Grena tried her best to eliminate the suspicions in her mind, and gradually a clue began to appear in her mind, and a smile slowly put on the corner of her mouth, "Grand Duke, you are really a rare good customer, you can rest assured that although my Rose Inn is small, I am still sure to keep you safe, but I want to grieve you to change places, it is too unsafe here." ”
The Grand Duke waved his hand, "I won't go there until the results come out, it's good here, there is good wine, and beautiful women like you play chess and chat with me, let's see whose hand is fast." ”
At this moment, there was a knock at the door, and Grena hurriedly stood up, only to see the Grand Duke handing her a piece of paper, "Just give this to your person, and let them do what is written on it." I saw a mercenary's power of attorney handed over, "You have already agreed that I will agree?" "Of course, I have always believed in my friends, and I will do it now." Hearing this, a big smile appeared on Grena's face.
