107 Books of Bad Reputation
On the second day of the outbreak of the 'Bloody Smoke and Dust' incident, at the same time as the previous incident, a grand mourning and commemorative meeting was held in the non-commissioned officer school of the Defeated Soldier City. The fake princess stood on a high platform to speak, took all the responsibility for the incident on herself, and bowed and apologized to the more than 500 wooden coffins in the square, including non-commissioned officers, attendants, and teachers.
Sir Cillin's coffin was mixed in and was nothing special, except for a bouquet of flowers presented by the sick princess herself, no different from the other victims.
Zhou Shu stayed in a room in the West Tower, looking down at the entire mourning party. Ula and Lilia stood beside him, and Smith was huddled alone in the corner of the room, looking like a master.
The three of them were subjected to a series of interrogations by Duke Torch outside of the plan, and Lilia was the nominal owner of the yellow race of Ula Mystery, so she was also innocently implicated. Because the trio failed to match their lines in advance, they were full of loopholes in answering questions. Even Ula Mystery was asked very wolf by these people, and in the case of all kinds of flickering words to avoid the question, she could only make up nonsense.
After picking up the three of them to this room, the fake princess smiled and said that even if this kind of topic is not right, it doesn't matter, it won't affect anything.
The politics are really difficult to understand! Ula Mystery emitted the same emotion as his own master.
Just a few hours ago, the Duke of Torch had come to the room and told the four of them something very powerful.
As we all know, the purpose of Sir Sillin's visit to the Defeated Castle this time is to form a new army to contain the forest country that is suddenly overwhelmed by a large army. Originally, the Baiyue military still wondered why his old opponent had made such an abnormal military operation. It was only after the bloody smoke and dust of last night that they realized that they had mastered a new weapon of revolution.
Duke Torch revealed to the four that judging from the current situation of the battle, the enemy had strange and powerful weapons and a fierce general who had been preparing for battle for a long time. Sir Sir Xilin, who relied on this side of the defeated city, had died, and a quarter of the non-commissioned officers who had finally gathered had been hung up. It's still the most jīng sharp part.
Based on the above factors, Duke Torch decided not to send troops to fight the forest country head-on, and even those strongholds and positions that had been occupied on the battlefield were ready to be destroyed and abandoned. In the next few months, the defeated city had to hold its gates, and meet the enemy with a strong wall in a turtle posture.
After saying this, the Duke of Torch left with a smile directly, as if he was just a talkative brother who was cutting state affairs with the passengers. After pulling the guests to their positions, the topic ended abruptly.
Ula pouted, obviously wanting Zhou Shu to convey these words to the sick princess. Besides, there was no reason for Duke Torch to come over and say so much, and there were none.
The fake princess then appears and asks about the Duke of Torch's conversation with the four. Guessed correctly by Ulla, the fake princess did not know that Duke Torch was preparing to defend the city against the enemy.
"This is just Duke Torch's personal plan, he will come to tell you, I think he wants to tell me through your mouth. He wanted me to support him......"
The fake princess pretended to hold the princess's tone, she couldn't make her own decisions about this kind of thing, and she needed to ask her big boss. However, she felt that the sick princess would agree to Duke Torch's battle plan. Let's not say that there is nothing wrong with this plan, just in the current state of the sick princess's complete loss of rights, it should also be recognized by this Gong Duke.
"Maybe it's not that simple......" Ula interjected halfway through. "The Duke of the People's Republic of China probably wants you to take the lead in this plan, and to propose in your name a plan that will definitely be criticized by the people. ”
Defending the city meant that for a long time, the gates of the entire defeated city were to be closed, and no one could enter or leave. If this is done, the impact on the people of the city will be very great. Don't say anything else. The disruption of trade with other cities and the fear of war alone led to panic buying, shortages of daily necessities, and soaring prices that would erupt resentment among the people at the bottom.
The people don't care if there are new weapons in the forest country, no matter how much damage will be caused by going out of the city to meet the enemy. They would only see twenty legions, and before they could kill a single shot, they would abandon all their strongholds and flee back into the city. The proponents of this plan will inevitably lose all the hearts and minds of the people in the defeated city.
With the political literacy of the fake princess, she can't understand this layer for the time being, but once Ula Riddle explains, she also feels that this matter will be very troublesome. Duke Torch has always paid attention to his family's prestige in the Defeated Soldier City, and he should not put forward such a proposal that does not care about his reputation, so it is very likely that he will be hit by Ulla's riddle. I just don't know if my big boss will be willing to sell his good name.
In fact, the sick princess didn't care about her reputation at all, and was more willing to sell her favor to the Duke of Torch. It was enough for her to save the White Moon Kingdom from the military disaster.
Lilia listened to the duke's description of the battle and felt a little unhappy. Isn't there no chance to go on the battlefield to kill the enemy if you do this way?
She didn't know that the Lantern Region wanted to rebel, and she thought that the only opponent that the Lost Castle had to deal with was the Forest Country, so she couldn't understand the difficulties of the Duke of Torch. The reason why Lilia, a girl, traveled thousands of miles from the country of birds to a foreign country to join the army. In order to kill the soldiers of the country of the forest. If you want to fall into a long-term defense war in the future, then as long as the forest country does not attack, you will have no chance to kill the enemy.
The mourning activities in the square were still continuing, and Zhou Shu and his party rushed back to the dormitory directly when they saw that there was nothing to do with them here. Zhou Shu had already agreed with the sick princess that he and Ula Mystery would move out of the school tomorrow, and now he has no reason to stay here. As for Smith, he was retained by his master and lent to the army as an ordinary non-commissioned officer.
Smith, who was summoned by Zhou Shu as a bodyguard at the beginning, has already gained good strength by relying on his extremely high magical talent at this moment, but Master Zhou's progress is even greater, and he has been pressed several times in the martial arts level, and now Smith is no longer qualified for the role of bodyguard.
Smith's current position and situation are somewhat awkward, and he is not good at high or low. In any case, he is also a character with tens of thousands of summon points, and it is impossible for Master Zhou to summon him back, so let him do something he likes. It just so happened that he had a little sense of belonging to this non-commissioned officer school, and he made three friends, Nem and the lantern brothers and sisters, and it seemed that it was not bad to live in this world like this.
There is one more summoned person who has a greater sense of belonging than Smith. Arni also experienced the bloody smoke and dust incident, and he relied on the knowledge of Zhou Shu to recognize the bomb at the first time and dodge the impact of the explosion. It belongs to the part of the nobility that survived. From last night to now, he has been busy arguing with people, and it is only now that he has time to catch his breath when the mourning party is held.
There was a strong call for a public trial of Zhou Shu in the school, and about 30 non-commissioned officers believed that Zhou Shu's identity was suspicious, as evidenced by Sir Xilin's words and his fraudulent death in battle. This group of people put on a face of swearing to surround the defeated city, and jointly demanded that the school try and execute the sinner Zhou Shu.
Anyway, Arni is also a creature who was created by the Book of Summoning, and it is his duty to protect the interests of his master. He used his identity as a nobleman and an eyewitness to the events to gather a group of people to start a debate with the more than 30 radicals, trying to persuade or use his status to intimidate these people who had enough to eat and had nothing to do.
There were some results, and a few of the original thirty-odd people withdrew from the controversy that had nothing to do with them because of the identity of the little young master of the wings of light, but soon there were new people who filled their positions and began to denounce Zhou Shu.
Arni had inherited his own good at disguise and tricks, and he acted in the shadows, and soon became aware that these radicals were instigated and instigated by some people. It is not known exactly who is doing this. He wanted to tell his master the news. He was not found, and even Ula and Smith were nowhere to be found.
Isn't it true that the master forgot about me and left school on his own? Just when he was struggling to find Zhou Shu, he found Midali in the crowd of mourners in the square. He knew that this woman was quite familiar with his master, so he ran over and said hello to ask her to help him find it.
Midali's impression of Arni was a few months ago, when he had a conflict with Zhou Shu, who shot the Chancellor's son because of this. But she also knew that this young master had been very close to Smith recently. Then the contradiction between him and Zhou Shu should have been eliminated.
Arni saw that Midali was a little hostile to him, and remembered the good things he had done. I have a bad reputation in front of other girls. He asked her to tell her what he had discovered in order to gain trust.
"You mean, someone is gathering a crowd to spread rumors and frame Zhou Shu?"
Arni nodded, "I regret it, but it's true. There is such a group of people, mainly civilian non-commissioned officers, who have taken yesterday's events out of context and spread them around, as if they want to make things bigger. ”
Midali had just taken on a big job from Zhou Shu. Sell sugar to Duke Torch. The sugar effects of Zhou Shu are very strong, and the Duke of Torch values them very much, and even uses them as a means to fight against the new weapons of the Forest Country. Midali sold all the first batch of sugar she got from Zhou Shu at a fair price. In addition to a large amount of silver coins, there is also a network of incalculable human connections. The status of the Falcon Killer in the Defeated Soldier City was also raised to an unprecedented height in an instant.
Just got such a big benefit, Midali's xìng Zi of Zhi'en Tubao drove her to want to solve this trouble for Zhou Shu. She had never been one to be afraid of things, and immediately chatted with Arni about the details of the incident.
The two talked wantonly during the mourning activities, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the surrounding non-commissioned officers.
"You two want to chat and other activities are over, if you have anything to talk about now. A non-commissioned officer who was not used to seeing it spoke bluntly.
One of Midali's side interjected, "They seem to be talking about that yellow-skinned agitation." ”
"Oh, that Zhou Shu, who killed Sir Cillin. I haven't seen him all day, and it is said that he has been arrested by the school higher-ups. ”
"Really? It seems that the top management of this school is not useless, and it is not too late to make amends. ”
I don't know why, the two of them chatted with each other. Midali and Arni were speechless, they didn't expect that Zhou Shu's reputation would stink so quickly. It seems that if you want to clear this unwarranted disaster this time, I am afraid that the school will have to come forward to clarify. (To be continued.) )
