Chapter 102: Son of Sunshine and Beach
"This..."
Even Justice Envi, who is both beautiful and wise, is a little sluggish for a while in the face of this kind of problem.
"We need to discuss it among university scholars."
Don't talk about her, I'm afraid all university scholars need to think carefully about Luden's words.
Of course, the more immediate reaction is: you TM fool!
Luden's nonsense just now, even the patriarch would not believe it.
Justice Envy's remark politely rejected Lutden.
Like an incomprehensible piece of wood, Ludon insisted,
"It's okay, I can wait!"
JUSTICE NVIY: ......
"That's right, Mr. Luden."
Justice Envy had put her veil back on, changed the subject, looked at Ludon and asked,
"The Senate is busy today."
At this time, a waitress stepped forward and brought Ludon a cup of flower tea.
The treatment here is much better than that of the greedy palace.
Lu Deng bowed his head slightly, blew away the heat on the flower tea, and said casually,
"Oh."
Justice Envy raised her eyebrows and asked puzzled,
"Aren't you curious, what are they doing?"
"You misunderstood me, the Senate is too high and too far for me."
Lu Deng said solemnly and confidently,
"I only care about myself!"
When encountering such an opponent, Justice Envy didn't know what to say for a while.
Mr. Ludon, when it comes to being a straight man of steel, never disappoints.
Emotional intelligence is flexible, IQ is flexible, bottom line... It's also flexible.
To be exact, so far, there has been no sign of Mr. Ludon's bottom line.
Justice Enwei simply finished what he wanted to say in one breath,
"Ponger has gone to the Senate, and he proposed to the Senate that the rewards that should have been given before be changed and given the status of citizens of the Divine State to some of the legionnaires."
After speaking, Justice Envy looked at Lunden and asked curiously,
"I don't know who gave Ponge the idea, but it's a viable option."
Under the existing framework, this is a brilliant move.
"I don't see it that way."
Lu Deng took a sip of flower tea, felt the fragrance echoing between his mouth, and said casually,
"The person who came up with this idea provoked the relationship between the Senate and Ponge, with ill intentions and evil intentions!"
Justice Enwei looked at Luden quietly, even if her face was hidden under the veil, she could read her helplessness from her eyes.
Ludon launched the first attack,
"Don't try to slander me, there are a lot of people who slander me recently, and I'm bothered."
Justice Envy sighed and asked rhetorically,
"Mr. Luden, do you think Ponger's proposal will fail?"
"No, failure is not the worst-case scenario."
Luden's eyes sank, and it seemed to rise and fall with the flowers in the tea,
"The worst-case scenario is that Ponge succeeded, but not completely, and was humiliated..."
Justice Envy sighed, his tone full of resentment,
"As Ai Sheng said, [if there is a possibility that things will go bad, no matter how small this possibility is, it will always happen]"
Luton looked at Justice Envy with helplessness in his eyes.
Are you serious?
This sentence is also said by Ai Sheng? …
I'm afraid Mr. Mo won't agree too much!
The father of the Qiyun Kingdom, who borrowed Mr. Mo's original words, even if he is hung on the gallows, will fight for the copyright for Mr. Mo!
Needless to say, Ludon could have guessed.
It must be that after he was hanged, Ai Sheng spent money to buy this sentence, which is one of Ai Sheng's favorite things to do: turn other people's credit into his own.
Although this sentence, Ludon also plagiarized it from Murphy.
But... Can the traverser's business be called plagiarism!
Ludon has always been very reasonable.
I, the traverser, too!
He sat in the garden, accompanied the beauty, drank flower tea, and waited quietly.
Waiting for the Senate to have a settlement.
Waiting, Ponga came to the door.
...
On the stone steps outside the Senate, Pang Ge accompanied an elder on his way up slowly.
Elder Sirui had a smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were filled with smiles,
"Pong, you're doing a great job this time, very good! Ryan, that kid is small and ignorant, and he can say such nonsense as the fortune contract, and he doesn't listen to it, what the people outside have scolded Luden!
Fortunately, you took care of it, so I was able to support this family..."
As he spoke, Elder Sirui yawned, a little sleepy.
Holding on to his spirits, he continued,
"What's wrong with losing some money in the family? When I entered the Senate, I understood a truth, the Miso of the Holy Descent family is used to lose!
As long as there is a sign of the Holy Descendant, Miso, sooner or later it will still be ours, the Divine State... Ours too. ”
Ponger nodded perfunctorily, not paying much attention to what the other party said.
The legion under his command is the legion of the Divine State, and it cannot be rewarded by the Jager family before, but must be paid by the Senate of the Divine State.
The Jagers were even forbidden to have direct economic relations with these legions.
The Senate, on its part, has been issuing the lowest level of reward according to the Ponger, within the scope allowed by the Holy Code.
He even forced Pang Ge to make a fake bandit to come out, snatch 150,000 bags of grain, and sell it to Luden.
The money from selling grain, in front of the legion, is just a drop in the bucket.
Besides, Miso will always be spent, and no amount of Miso will be able to satisfy the growing appetite of the warriors.
What the soldiers under Ponge want most is: land, land and land!
This is a condition that the Senate absolutely cannot meet.
Over time, the contradictions between the two sides gradually intensified, like a huge explosive barrel.
The lead is burning! The lead is burning!
Not long ago, Ponger was ready to use his sword and shield to fight for his own interests.
Even if he fails, becomes the biggest sinner in the history of the Divine State, and becomes a disgrace to the family, Ponger doesn't care.
As for whether after success, whether to reach the pinnacle of power and turn the Republic of God into an empire of God...
Ponger did fantasize, but he also knew very well that the probability of his success was not great.
Even the Jager family cannot fully support themselves, and there will be many different voices.
Ponge has been planning for a long time, ready to make a desperate bet at the critical moment when the orcs attack...
That's when an accident happened.
Pang Ge heard that an interesting guy had come to the Divine State, shuttled between the dinners, became famous, and soon became a popular figure in the Divine State. …
What's even more interesting is that this guy was chosen by the scholars and justices to collect money and food from the Holy Descent family - the Hanged Man.
In the Saint Family, that's what they call the person who did it.
The Hanged Man, in the tarot cards of the Qiyun Kingdom, is the one who executes justice, but he is hung upside down.
If the hanged man survives this catastrophe, he will truly become the embodiment of justice.
If you can't get through it... It becomes an upside-down hanged man in the physical sense.
After all, no one cares, how the dead are hanged.
Before returning to the Divine State, Ponger wrote down the name of the Hanged Man, Ludon Brown. Y. WeGood.
Sending Elder Sirui into the Senate, Pang Ge stood outside the Senate, watching the clouds in the sky drift, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the Senate, there was a constant sound of gavels, noises, cursing ...
All voices appear and disappear, and eventually everything falls silent.
Obviously, they discussed the results.
Ponge didn't care.
This time, even if it failed, Ponge didn't care.
Could it be any worse?
Senate: Yes.
There is a joke in the state that if you want to mess up something, send it to the Senate.
In the hands of those idiots, anything will be screwed!
They just have this amazing ability.
The bell rings and the meeting ends.
When he walked out of the Senate, Elder Sirui's expression was no longer as calm and optimistic as before, and even vaguely angry.
He lowered his voice and said,
"Pong, there's good news and bad news."
Ponger looked straight at each other without any hesitation,
"Let's start with the bad news."
Beads of sweat began to ooze from Elder Sirui's forehead, and he said in a panic,
"The Senate agrees to give you 200 places. 200 people, you can have the citizenship of the Divine State forever! ”
200 people?
Ponger frowned slightly, this number greatly exceeded his expectations.
If the Senate was really willing to be so generous, Ponge would be able to suppress the restless hearts of the legionnaires.
The news was so good that Ponger's hunch was getting worse and worse for the bad news.
Otherwise, Elder Sirui wouldn't have been scared like this.
Elder Sirui's voice trembled slightly, swallowed and spit, strengthened his courage, and said,
"To be fair, these 200 will be randomly drawn from your 992 professional soldiers..."
Ponger nodded slightly, which was fair.
It would be an anomaly if the Senate gave the place to Ponger, allowing him to allocate it freely.
It seems that this random selection is not very random.
How many places will the Senate give itself in the end?
Ponger began to guess, 150? 100?
His bottom line is 100, and below that, things are a bit more difficult.
The further back he went, the quieter Elder Sirui's voice became, already like a mosquito, buzzing,
“... In the end, out of the 200 people selected, 156 were originally citizens of the Divine State, and as compensation, they will be awarded the Order of Honor of the Divine State, and the remaining 44 will receive the Divine Citizenship..."
What?
Pongge's face hadn't changed, and the adjutant beside him had turned into a coffin face.
The reward of 200 people, three-quarters of which turned into ashes and became a worthless medal?!
Pang Ge laughed angrily, looked at the adjutant beside him, and asked casually,...
"How many of my legions are citizens of the Divine State?"
The adjutant replied coldly,
"156 people."
Above the Senate, Ponger's unbridled laughter echoed.
"Haha... Hahaha.."
156 people?
156 people!
Out of 992 people, in the 'fair' random selection of the Senate, 200 people drew all 156 people?
It's really random!
Even with the brains of the patriarchs, they can see that this thing is not normal!
Ponge himself thought it was funny enough.
The remaining 44 places are not so much a reward as a humiliation!
Such a senate, such a divine state... What is the need for allegiance?
"Prepare the car."
The voice that came from Pong's throat, full of suppressed anger, glanced back at the Senate,
"Sons of Sunny Sands."
This sentence is a swear word in Gu Qiyun's language, and the meaning is simple and rude:
Bastard.
Elder Sirui wanted to reach out to grab Pang Ge but caught it empty, and the other party turned around and strode away, without giving Elder Sirui any face.
"Ponger!"
Elder Sirui ran two steps and couldn't catch up with Ponge.
The angry Elder Sirui looked back at the many colleagues in the Senate, all the elders stood on the steps, their faces gloomy, and the scene just now was watched by them.
In this matter, the Senate really did not handle it properly.
Who would have thought that the result of the draw would be like this?
Under the witness of the Chancellor and the Holy Code, the wood is in the boat, and there is no room for manoeuvre.
If Pang Ge is a little more generous, more aware of the overall situation, knows how to forbear, and is more considerate of the difficulties of the Senate, he will suffer a little more...
Things won't get to this point!
A blatant provocation to the dignity of the Senate?
This is something that has not been done in 800 years!
"Trouble! Keep making trouble! ”
Ignoring etiquette, Elder Sirui pointed at more than a dozen patriarchs and scolded,
"Did you force Pang away and break the sword of the Divine State, and burn the shield of the Divine State, so that you could sleep soundly?!"
“......”
Listening to Patriarch Sirui's cursing, the faces of many patriarchs became even more ugly.
One of the patriarchs said with a gloomy face,
"Do you want to send a legion across the river..."
They were afraid that the ponger dog would jump over the wall and make some radical moves, such as mutiny.
Without waiting for Elder Sirui to speak, the Grand Elder stood up.
"Tune your mother!"
The elder pulled the other party's collar, and the foaming star smashed down like raindrops, scolding him bloody,
"Fool, the next time I hear such stupid words, I swear I'll hang you with my own hands! A guy like you, living is a shame on the Senate! Get out of the way! ”
Even if Ponge is angry again, he still plays under the framework of rules. In other words: he is a rule-abiding.
Now that you are transferring the army to the Divine State, what do you want to do?
Others haven't broken the rules, so they should prepare to flip the table first, especially in this sensitive period to transfer the army into the Divine State....
Even if your head grows on your ass, you can't say such stupid things!
Loosening the man's collar, the Grand Elder pushed him aside, and turned to Elder Sirui,
"Sirui, if you continue to scold, the old man can accompany you here for a day!
Anyway, everyone is a veteran, and there is nothing else to do except waste time! ”
The Great Elder was menacing, and Elder Sirui's arrogance dropped a lot in an instant.
But the current situation is still a stalemate.
The Grand Patriarch asked the question that everyone was most concerned about,
"Where is Ponger going?"
A name came to the back of the mind of the elder Sirui, an absurd option.
Pong... Aren't you going to find Luden?
How did he get involved with the hanged man!
Even if you mix it together, what can you do?
Elder Sirui's face sank, and he decided not to answer the question and change the subject.
He scolded at the Grand Elder,
"You son of the sun!"
Not to be outdone, the elder scolded back,
"You're a son of the sunny sands!"
“.......”
The two immediately had a friendly exchange, arguing about who was the real son of Sunshine and Beach.
By the time the elders were scolding, Pong's carriage had disappeared at the end of the street.
A man in a strange bird mask stood quietly in a dark corner, watching the carriage leave.
He used his pen to write lines on the dossier:
“... Enraged by the Senate, Ponger Jager gave up the only chance in his life to become emperor.
He made the best and the worst..."
The man's pen paused for a moment, and then slowly wrote:
"Working with Luden."
