030: The Sin of Arrogance
"No, no, no, this can't be done, it's too much—" Baron Cailliaud's first instinct was to stop and say no, after all, it was not easy, but his voice became smaller and quieter until it disappeared completely. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Is this really impossible?
Baron Cailliaud stood up.
If it was placed in the past, for the Reeves family, which was insignificant in Landnot's political arena, there was indeed no chance of plotting for this important position.
But... But now?
After a series of confrontations between the Herat family and the Marshall family, there are only a handful of people still standing on the military stage, taking the current two deputy commanders, the neutral Chloe is out of the game, and the deputy commander of Berg launched by the Herat family is only the strength of the golden swordsman, and the competition for the presidential collar is too far-fetched!
The position of the local military president must be reported to the Imperial Military Department, and the local government only has the right to recommend but not the right to appoint, and the military department also has strict requirements for the local military commander in terms of talent, strength, age and other aspects!
For now, the most qualified and closest to this position is naturally the Marshall family's candidate Baron Drew, who is in his thirties and has the strength of a great sword master.
But in the whole of Landnot, is he really the most qualified to compete?
"Except for Young Master Kane, who is famous for his reputation in Landnot, the eldest son of the Lord is already a mid-ranking Great Sword Master before he is thirty years old, isn't he?" Roshi said leisurely, pausing, he continued: "He is now the captain of the city guard, more than a hundred times stronger than that Drew, why should Lord Baron give away this opportunity?"
Baron Cailliaud remained silent, but there was hesitation in his eyes.
After a series of temptations from Roshi, it would be nonsense to say that he was not moved, but he was shouldering the entire family, and he had long been accustomed to weighing the pros and cons from all aspects.
If he can successfully win the position of military commander, it will be a blessing for the Reeves family in front of him, but what about after this?
Isn't this little ghost in front of you a typical example? If you are impulsive, you may get into such a miserable mess later, this is not groundless!
At this time, staying out of the matter can still protect oneself, and the slightest change will involve the power dispute of Landnot, neither the Herat family nor the Marshall family can cope with it, not to mention that this position is targeted by the two of them.
Timid old thing, no wonder the chief of the Elder Pavilion would be mixed up to this point, seeing the flickering look in Cayo's eyes, Luo Xi scolded in his heart, and on the surface, he still had a confident look and said: "I know what you are worried about, my lord"
After a pause, he continued: "I have a way, not to let you get what you want, but also to avoid the risk you should have taken"
"What way?" Subconsciously, Baron Cayo blurted out, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly realized that he had accidentally revealed his true thoughts to the original.
"Hehehe" Now that he has admitted the greed in his heart, Cayo also took off the veil of hypocrisy, looking at Roshi's smiling expression, he secretly sighed: "It seems that I am really old", paused, he sat back in his chair and said: "Say, Roshi, what do you want from me?"
"Promise!"
"Promise?"
"Can you tell me what kind of promise?" said Baron Cailliaud, curious
"I have a letter here" Roshi took out the letter he had prepared a long time ago: "I heard that His Excellency Baron has a distant cousin who is a junior tutor at Sheeran's School of Magic and Wizardry, I hope you can help me give him the letter"
The prosperous city of Valan did not fall into a deep sleep as night fell, like a noble lady with her long skirt stripped and naked, full of endless charm.
The hustle and bustle of the street bar is her moaning and self-conscious, the wine in the craft glass is the enchanting fragrance released from her body, and when the industrious and unpretentious laborer finishes his busy day and falls asleep, the idle harvesters are squandering the fruits of their regular scythe.
Lying in bed, Jeffrey couldn't remember when the dinner party ended, and after drinking too much, he only vaguely remembered that he was carried away from the Night Elves by his friends, and he didn't know where they went, and it wasn't a big deal anyway.
It's just that I don't know what's going on, today's body is unusually restless, and he hasn't felt this way for a long time after he has tasted all kinds of women.
How nice it would be if there was a chick by your side at this time?
Jeffrey sighed in his heart with regret
I want to sleep, but as soon as this kind of thing comes up, it is difficult to control myself no matter what, **** finally overcame his tiredness, and he was ready to get up when he stood up.
Well?
The soft and soft familiar feeling in the palm of his hand made his heart move, and when he opened his eyes and vaguely saw the scene next to him through the moonlight, his heartbeat accelerated even more.
It turned out that next to him was sleeping a slim girl, with only a nearly transparent tulle on her body, and the warm fragrance of Wanyu was all over her body, releasing a charming fragrance.
Haha! Friends are really thoughtful!
With a loud sigh of praise in his heart, Jeffrey rolled over with all the clothes on his body, found the entrance with ease, and stabbed his gun into it.
"Ahh
A cry of pain exploded in Geoffrey's ears, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of a pained look between the eyebrows of the girl beneath him, and then she suddenly opened her eyes.
"You... Who are you? What are you doing?" as if panicked, her pretty face turned white, and she began to question in a panic, and at the same time began to struggle.
What is this? New tricks?
Jeffrey, whose head was completely filled with ****, subconsciously came up with such a thought, and the girl's defense made him feel strangely stimulated, and the male hormones in his body multiplied, where he could take care of answering the girl's question, and only knew that he was working hard to find the pleasure he had not seen for a long time.
"Woo... Whining... Help"
It wasn't until the drowning Jeffrey had finished venting several times that he finally heard the sound of the girl crying, and after seeing the crystal clear tears through the moonlight, Jeffrey began to realize that something seemed to be wrong.
And yet it was at this time
"Phew!"
The closed gate was slammed open from the outside, and then Jeffrey's color changed dramatically, and more than twenty brightly armored city defense soldiers poured in outside the door in an instant.
"You... What are you doing?" asked the startled Jeffrey subconsciously
"Yo hey, where did you get the courage to question us?" The leading soldier smiled coldly: "Damn bastard, you have done such a thing that has lost your conscience, why are you still stunned?
"You know who I am... Jeffrey, who was about to report his father's name, was gagged with a strip of cloth by the soldiers who came up before he could finish his words, and it was not until he was dragged out of bed that he understood what had happened, because suddenly from the bottom of the girl on the bed saw something that should not appear on the woman who could play with the woman wantonly.
It was a stain of Yin Hong's blood....
............................
After two hours of torture in a damp, dark rat-infested dungeon, Jeffrey finally saw a savior, his father, Baron Drew, at the door.
"Father... Father, save me, save me, I'm dying, this is not a place for people at all, this is hell! hell" he clung to the railing hysterically
Baron Drew, who had just heard that he was angry, suddenly lost his anger when he saw his son's tragic condition, especially after hearing the desperate wail, Baron Drew was even more like a thorn piercing his heart, and he barely thought about it and ordered coldly with a wave of his hand: "Open the door!
"But Captain George said..."
"Smack!" Drew slapped him and roared angrily: "George, he's something! After today, Lao Tzu removed him! Release me immediately!"
Baron Drew's arrogance lasted only until dawn the next day, when his cooled mind realized the gravity of the matter!
"Son of a bitch, get out!"
"Damn dog, just because you're a nobleman, you do this kind of unconscionable thing, what qualifications do you have to be the captain of the city guard?
"Hand over that whore!"
In the face of the ordinary people gathered outside the mansion gate, with all kinds of 'sharp weapons' such as hoes and sickles in their hands, Drew, who had the strength of a great swordsman, did not have the courage to raise the sword he relied on for a living anyway!
This is because there were not three or two, but tens of thousands, gathered outside the door, almost completely blocking several streets, and the denunciation shook Landnott like a wave!
The dawn of dawn fell quietly, illuminating the angry cheeks of the people, and after successfully provoking the anger of the people in the crowd, Roshi's gaze finally withdrew from Baron Drew's pale face, turned and quietly left, facing the sun, he left a long shadow on the bluestone slab behind him, and faintly, his deep voice came with the wind.
