Chapter 175: Secret
,
These talents made Char's eyes light up, he looked at the pile of mercenaries below who were obviously miscellaneous, and said with a smile: "I can't ask one by one, I will go to the innkeeper to register your name and residence, and after I choose, I will naturally send someone to inform you." ”
The following people let Char go, and ran to pester the innkeeper, and the boss was also black-hearted, so they sent the guys to the back to find tables, chairs, pens, ink, and paper to register, but they could pay three copper plates first to sign up and make a fortune.
Char didn't pay attention to these, walked directly to the middle of the lobby, and looked at the remaining mercenaries sitting there around him, obviously these people are the real jīng Ying, Char smiled, pulled out a dagger with a bang, and nailed it to a tabletop, the dagger went directly without a handle, looked around, and said with a smile: "I think that in this room now, I am the one who really has the ability, okay, so who is this business for, let's talk about it first." ”
After a pause, Char raised his eyebrows: "It's hard to say on the street, I went to the wildfire field this time, first to the red wilderness, and then ...... We also have to take the road to the west and go to the Zaku Tu people! Therefore, those who are familiar with the terrain there are preferred!"
At this moment, in the lobby, there was a table sitting against the door, a table sitting under the stairs, and another table sitting on Char's left side, obviously three different groups of people, listening to Char's words, these three groups looked at each other, and finally, the group of people sitting at the door, one of the middle-aged samurai stood up, this person was dressed in leather armor, and a long sword was placed on the table, and the hilt of the sword was wrapped in a layer of linen, and the cloth was obviously stained with blood left over the years, and there was a red and green face.
The middle-aged warrior stood up, looked at Char, and then at the other two groups, but smiled: "This lord, although the price of your business is high enough, but one business cannot be done in three, the decision on who to give it to is still in your hands." ”
After saying that, he grabbed the sword, slashed it on the table next to him, and with a clatter, the table was split in half by his sword, but it did not move at all, until the middle-aged warrior walked over and gently pushed, and the table split into two halves and fell down with a bang.
This sword is very beautiful, especially the combination of strength and skill is very good, Char's eyes lit up. The middle-aged warrior smiled and said slowly: "We are from the Russell Mercenary Group, my name is Russell, since you are an old man in Wildfire Town, then you have naturally heard of this name, and the credibility of our regiment does not need to be said." ”
Char nodded, Russell Mercenary Group, he had indeed heard of this fame, it was very loud.
There was a cold "hum" next to him, and a short jīng warrior stood out from the table of people, who shaved his bare head, but his face was full of fierceness, and he sneered: "Russell, your swordsmanship is okay to split the table, but it is far from being good for people." ”
After speaking, he looked at Char and said loudly: "We are from the Cossack mercenary group, you naturally will not have heard of this name, I won't say anything else, my people are all jīng sharp, and we bring our own horses! My people are all good horsemen, not to mention ordinary thieves, even if they meet regular cavalry, my people will not be left behind." ”
When Char heard this, his eyes lit up a little, he was born in the Rodria cavalry regiment, and he was born with a good impression of cavalry.
"Cossacks, hmph, your bottom is fine, others don't know, don't we know!" Finally, the people sitting at the innermost table jumped up, this group of people were all burly, led by a strong man, the physique was almost comparable to Sharpa, with broad shoulders, big shoulders and round waist, wearing a pair of round chest armor, two exposed arms with bulging muscles, and a short-handled double-edged battle axe on his back, and after jumping up, he pointed at the people of the Cossack mercenary group and sneered: "Don't believe them, this lord, Cossack! Once upon a time, they were all a bunch of horse thieves! These people were not clean in their hands, and they might be able to rob the caravan they protected less than a hundred miles out of town! Damn, you bastards, broke our rules!"
After speaking, he straightened his chest and shouted: "We are the Fire Rhino Mercenary Regiment! My name is Hawke! You invited us, it's right to keep it! I have been here for ten years, and my father died in the dwarven territory to protect a guest! As long as we collect your money, even if we fight for our lives, we will definitely keep you safe!"
The people of the Cossack mercenary group were pierced by the old bottom, and they suddenly became angry, and they jumped up one by one and scolded, this strong man named Hawke stood there, his face was full of arrogance, but he puffed up his chest and stared coldly at the thin little man who did jīng: "What's the matter? I have pierced your details, do you want to do it?" Hmph, you have troubled me six times, and each time I have broken a few bones by Lao Tzu, do you want to break a few more today? Lao Tzu will fulfill you!"
The Cossack mercenary regiment had obviously suffered a lot under him, and when he heard this, everyone became shy, and although he scolded more fiercely, none of them dared to come up.
Hawk snorted and shouted proudly: "Being a mercenary is a desperate business, but since you do it, you have to pay attention to credit! If the guest gives money, let's fight with our lives! You Cossack regiment people, Lao Tzu looks down on you! If you have a kind of come, Lao Tzu happens to have itchy hands today, and he splits a few bastards, just to relax his muscles and bones!"
The people of the Cossack mercenary group were so excited that they were about to rush up, but they were stopped by the thin man, who looked at Hawke coldly, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Hawke, I remember this matter, you will regret it one day! This business Lao Tzu will not rob you, it is just today's matter, and we will settle accounts together in the future!"
After saying that, he didn't look at Char, turned around and led people out.
The middle-aged man named Russell at the door looked at Hawke, hesitated, and frowned: "Hawke, not long after your father died, I know that your people need this money, and I won't fight with you this time." ”
After a pause, the middle-aged man seemed to be quite kind, and said slowly: "Although those Cossack guys are hateful, they are a group of cunning wolves, although you kid is powerful, but you must also be careful of their secret tricks." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Char, sighed, and was about to take someone away.
"Wait!"
Char smiled and walked over slowly: "I didn't say I wouldn't hire you." ”
Russell was stunned for a moment, his face was a little embarrassed, and he glanced at Hawke, who seemed to be a downright person, and said loudly: "Since this guest chose your Russell group, Lao Tzu is not unconvinced, as long as it doesn't fall into the hands of the Cossack group of horse thieves." ”
After speaking, he seemed to be a little helpless, sighed, and was about to leave.
"You can't go either. Char smiled and stopped the strong man: "You two groups, I invited them all!"
Both groups looked at Char strangely, and Char smiled and said, "Wait a minute." ”
Turning back to the upstairs room, after a short while, he walked out with two large leather bags in one hand, came downstairs, shook the two bags on the table, and poured out a large number of golden coins.
Seeing so many gold coins in front of him, although those mercenaries had changed their hearts, there was no change, Char felt a little more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Here are three hundred gold coins, I will pay half of them first! When I come back, there will be three hundred." You two will divide the money!"
※※※ In the upstairs room, Sharpa and Philip heard the movement below, Sharpa sighed: "What are you doing with wasting so much money, these two groups have stayed, it's useless, as long as you bring the Heavenly Attack, there will be no big danger on the way to come, as for going to the territory of the Zaku Turen...... I heard that the natives rarely attacked the human merchants. ”
Philip ran out with Sharba to buy grain today, and he was tired for a day, so he smiled faintly after listening to it, and said slowly: "You don't understand the mind of adults." ”
"What the hell is Char thinking? I heard that we are already short of money, and we are spending it so profligately...... Alas, I don't understand it anyway, but you guys who are weird and angry?" Sharpa glared at Philip unconvinced. Today, the two of them went out to buy grain, Philip, this person jīng Ming, bargained with people and refused to suffer at all, if he changed to Sharba to go alone, I am afraid that this rude man would have been deceived by the gang of jiān merchants in Wildfire Town.
Sharba still didn't have a good impression of Philip, and he was even more unconvinced at the moment, thinking: Lao Tzu and Char are good brothers who killed from the pile of dead people together, I don't understand him, but you, a guy who is weird and angry, understand?
Philip shook his head and smiled lightly: "The armaments of Mor County are to be reorganized, and there is a lack of good soldiers, and the jīng rui mercenaries in this wildfire town can recruit more, and the idea of the adults is very good." ”
Philip didn't guess Char's mind wrong.
If it's just a simple bodyguard, then there's really no need to find so many mercenaries in Wildfire Town with great fanfare. And it cost so much money to build momentum.
It's just those jīng sharp mercenary warriors in Char's Eye Red Wildfire Town! These people are all jīng sharp people who have experienced adventures and seen blood, if they can eat it and train it well to be disciplined, it will be an army.
As for the price...... It's a bit expensive, but now Char doesn't have any soldiers in his hands, and the armaments in Moore County are too wasteful, so it's not bad to get some mercenaries to enrich the army, and build such a jīng sharp army on a small scale.
In fact, it was not without precedent for the Byzantine army to recruit mercenaries.
It's just that the mercenaries are used to being loose and can't stand the harsh discipline in the army. But this is not the main problem, after all, as a mercenary, there is no next meal, perennial adventure, but also desperately to earn hard-earned money, in fact, the income is not so high, a mercenary works for a lifetime, when he is old, he can save a few gold coins, and return to his hometown to buy a little land to support the elderly, it is already considered a good death.
You can enter the Byzantine army, eat military salaries and rations, and most of the time is just training, and the time for fighting is only a small number after all. And once you are discharged from the army, you can also get a severance pay, which is much better than being a mercenary in terms of security and stability, and the income may not be much lower.
It's just that many mercenaries are reluctant to enter the official army of the Empire, mainly because they don't have a way out.
The military system of the Byzantine Empire was controlled by the warlord henchmen, and now although it has been broken, there are eagle forces and warlord henchmen fighting in the ring.
But the army of the empire, but all the officer positions in the higher-ranking army, are based on birth and seniority: they are warlords, or they have graduated from the Eagle Military Academy...... You are an outsider, and the warlords dislike you as not their own, so they naturally refuse to reuse them. Although the forces of the Eagle Department will not have too deep a view of the portal, the generals of the Eagle Department have a bad problem: Qinggao. These people asked themselves to be from orthodox military academies, with a high militarized education, and belonged to the talents of Jīng Rui. For those outsiders who were born in the wilderness, they also faintly looked down on them.
Even if it were Char, if it weren't for the friendship between Adrick and General Ruhr, coupled with the undeniable outstanding contributions in this war, those academic generals in the Eagle Department might not have accepted Char - even so, at this moment, many people in the Eagle Department look down on Char, a person from a wild background, and there are many people.
This situation has resulted in a situation in which if you don't have really extremely strong skills, or a very hard backstage, don't want to mix up in the army.
The leader of the mercenary group may even be able to make a name for himself with his good martial arts -- and at most he will be able to mix up with a captain! As for ordinary mercenary warriors, they should be the head soldiers for the rest of their lives!
The slightly higher military positions are controlled by people from both factions, and they can't compete with each other, how can they be spent on others?
However, Char doesn't care about so much, he himself is from a wild road, and he doesn't value people's background and qualifications, he only knows that many mercenary groups in Wildfire Town are very jīng sharp, and if they can be collected and recruited to their subordinates, they have great potential. The only problem is that it costs.
But...... As long as you get the deal with the Zaku people and get the gold of the Zaku people, are you afraid that there will be no money?
※※※※ After staying in Wildfire Town for another three days, almost all the food that could be bought in the market in the town was scavenged, and finally 50 carts full of food were rushed, Char and his party finally set off from Wildfire Town.
The team of people on this trip, fifty carts, a total of one hundred grooms and coachmen, and two mercenary groups with a total of one hundred and sixty people - the Russell mercenary group and the fire rhinoceros group have joined, seeing that Char gave a lot of money, he simply brought out all the manpower in the group, jīng rui, and the number of people exceeded Char's previous expectations.
In addition, there was a convoy of the Gallensian Merchant Regiment, six carts, but thirty warriors from Jīng Rui were sent to escort them, and the group plus Char's four people, and there was an extra Heavenly Attack, exactly three hundred and four, and on this morning, they left Wildfire Town and headed for the Red Sè Wilderness...... At this moment, the turtle rode at the front of the team, watching dozens of carts behind him drag into a long dragon, and the mercenary warriors of Jīng Rui followed the queue in full armor, looking at the boundless wildfire field in front of him, and he felt a little emotional.
Wildfire Plains ...... Lao Tzu is back here!
Last time I was here, Lao Tzu bled and killed people, and the first good friend he made in his life died in his arms...... But this time I came back, but it was a different scene, with a different identity and a different mentality!
At this moment, the turtle didn't know that this return to the wildfire field, what was waiting for him would be a test that would affect the rest of his life!
※※※※※※ "Your Highness." ”
The gentle call startled Garcia, who was looking out the window and distracted, and he slowly turned his head. Because he was distracted and disturbed by his thoughts, Garcia's eyes showed a faint irritability. However, as the crown prince, he was also known for his attention to etiquette, and in the face of the respectful and strict court lady in front of him, Garcia spoke in an irrepromiscably voice--he spoke in a very unique tone, which had also been cultivated and trained for many years, showing his gentleness without losing the majesty of the superior.
"Tell me, how is she doing. The crown prince stood up and looked at the female officer in front of him.
This female official was the one beside Adeline, with a strict expression, her hands crossed in front of her, bowing slightly, and after a very standard etiquette, she replied in a meticulous tone: "Her Royal Highness Adeline is very good, but recently she has often been locked in her room alone in a daze, and she has not asked to go out again, and when she has nothing to do, she reads in the room." ”
"Reading?" Garcia raised his eyebrows slightly, as if talking to himself, "Oh, when did she like to read books." ”
After a pause, he looked at the female official and frowned, "What books did she read?"
"Historical materials of the empire, general history of the continent, etc. The female officer pondered for a while: "It seems that there are some biographies of the great men of the founding fathers." Well, I've seen Her Royal Highness Adeline read a lot lately, but most of them are biographies of the Tulip family. ”
"Biography of Oscuria?" Garcia smiled slightly, "When did my sister become interested in military history." ”
"And ......" The female officer hesitated for a moment, seemed to hesitate slightly, but still mustered up the courage to say: "Her Royal Highness Adeline has not had a good appetite recently, and she has eaten less. Seem...... A young girl like her is really bored in the castle all day long, but Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess has been to see her a few times recently, and with Her Royal Highness Daphany by her side, Her Royal Highness Adeline seems to be in a better mood. ”
"Okay, I see. The crown prince raised his finger slightly, pulled out a gold-trimmed embroidered hand towel from his sleeve, and carefully wiped the corners of his mouth: "Be careful lately, don't let my sister run around anymore." The Odin's mission is coming, and this time they ask to see Adeline, and the father will probably agree, and if Adeline runs away again, it will be difficult to explain to the Odin. Well...... Since she has been interested in reading books recently, you can arrange for the lecturers and scholars in the court to tell her about history books, and let people move all the history books in my study to her, as long as she doesn't go out, whatever she wants, she can do it. ”
The lady bowed and saluted, and when the others were gone, the crown prince threw the handkerchief on the table, turned his head to look at the sky outside the window, and seemed to be in deep thought.
When did this sister become interested in the Tulip family...... The crown prince was out of his mind for a moment, and there were three gentle knocks on the door outside the door, and then a man in a tuxedo and a gold gash walked in, it was his housekeeper.
"Your Highness, the time has come. The butler had one hand across his chest and the other behind his back, his standard demeanor made the crown prince's eyebrows stretch slightly, and he seemed to be very satisfied with the other party's attire, and nodded: "I know." ”
"You have a quarter of an hour for afternoon tea, and then a quarter of an hour to change your clothes, and the guests will arrive half an hour before the banquet begins, and if you have no special arrangements, I will arrange the time for the audience. ”
"No afternoon tea. The crown prince shook his head, he stood up and walked to a huge mirror in the room, which was more than a man high, and looked at his own figure in the mirror—obviously inherited from the angular contours of the emperor of the spear, but his face was a little pale and weak, his expression was strict, his eyes were calm, his beard and hair were meticulous, and he was not picky in his demeanor, and he could not even find a trace of wrinkles in his clothes.
He himself is very satisfied with such an appearance, but he also knows that in the aristocratic circle, there are many people who talk about themselves behind their backs, but they have another evaluation of themselves: twilight.
Lethargy?
Indeed, compared with his father, who is old and still occasionally shows his grandeur, he is too introverted, and although he acts rigorously, he has become a twilight that has not entered the heart when he falls into the mouth of others.
Well...... Twilight?
Garcia's habits of life are almost rigorous to the extreme. He gets up at a fixed time every day, and every moment is late, and then every day for breakfast is a piece of melon and a small piece of sirloin, roasted until seven ripe. Unless it is a banquet, Garcia never drinks alcohol, he doesn't like wine, he doesn't like food, he doesn't have much preference for gorgeous things, and as for antiques, he has never deliberately pursued them.
Garcia's greatest trait when it comes to acting is: accuracy!
He hates the unexpected, and likes to make an accurate plan for everything and then do it one by one. Even his walking habits remained the same.
He had a habit of walking around the garden every evening, walking around the garden of his palace, and walking down in a circle was a total of 1,109 steps! Since he came of age, his height and body shape have not changed! Walking around the garden, 1,100 and 9 steps, no more than one step, no less!
He was very attentive to his words and deeds, and even though he followed his personal entourage for many years, he rarely saw the crown prince lose control of his emotions - the only time in recent years was the night he learned of Bonfret's death.
The next morning, Garcia went to see the guests as usual, attended a salon party in the aristocratic circle, and played polo with friends for a while.
Every afternoon, he practiced swordsmanship for half an hour and rode a horse for half an hour, so that despite being in his thirties, he remained in good shape. Many young aristocrats of his age have already developed a bloated appearance of a big belly when they are over thirty. Until now, Crown Prince Garcia is still broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted, and even the court painters who painted him sighed that the crown prince's body shape has not changed for ten years, and what he looked like when he was twenty years old is still the same now.
He seldom showed emotion, neither was he too warm nor too cold, he was polite and gentle to anyone—but in this gentleness there was a peculiar distance.
Even when he was smiling at people, although that smile was kind, it was unabashedly indifferent to it.
Another word for rigor is rigidity, and many people assume that Garcia is a rigid and inflexible person. Then, the evaluation of Twilight naturally followed him for many years.
Lethargy...... Lethargy...... Looking at the calm and calm face in the mirror, Garcia slowly unbuttoned his collar, he raised his hand slightly, the door opened, and a team of court servants rushed in, dragging new and complicated dresses in their hands, some helping him to wear a collar, some helping him dress, some helping him make a belt, and some helping him to put on a robe. Other waiters brought trays of ornaments one by one for him to choose from.
The time to dress up was no more, no less, a quarter of an hour was just done, and the person in the mirror had become a man dressed in a sumptuous court dress, with a soft fox collar, the neckline was buttoned with an expensive sapphire, and the straight gown reflected his waist, cut to extremely jīng thin, and the double row of buttons, each of which was pure gold, but under the special design, it did not look tacky at all. The shiny leather boots could almost shine the shadow of a person, and after a waiter helped him comb his hair, the two waiters brought two small mirrors to stand on both sides, so that His Royal Highness could see himself in the mirror from several angles.
When everything was in place, Garcia became the crown prince that everyone knows: outstanding, rigorous and calm. After the two attendants carefully smoothed out an imperceptible fold in his trouser leg, the crown prince looked like a ...... A statue of jīng beauty.
Garcia looked satisfied, he was satisfied with the way he looked.
Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly heard the sound of the servants arguing outside the door, which made Garcia frown.
"No, you can't go in, Your Highness is changing clothes. ”
"No, please don't embarrass us, ah!"
After a few short exclamations, the door was slammed open, and the two servants standing at the door were knocked aside, and then a figure rushed in like a raging fire, ran in front of Garcia, and regardless of the exclamations of the people next to him, a fist hit Garcia in the nose head-on!
With a bang, Garcia fell backwards in front of him, and then the man pounced on him, his fist kept smashing down, and after Garcia was hit on the ground, he didn't say a word, and after three or five punches, the terrified servant next to him rushed up and pulled the man up.
Blood flowed from the corners of the crown prince's mouth when he was beaten, but there was no expression of pain or anger on his face, he slowly got up himself, and did not look at the person who was firmly held by several servants, first looked in the mirror, pulled out the handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then grinned, and then turned to look at the man who was hugged by several servants, but still struggling.
At this moment, Garcia suddenly smiled.
"Let him go. The crown prince's voice did not seem to be discerningly irritated.
A few servants were a little frightened, otherwise they still let go, but fortunately the man didn't pounce again, just stood there, staring at the crown prince with cold eyes, and his face was indignant.
"Let's all go out, and let me talk to the little duke for a while. The crown prince glanced at the somewhat sluggish chief steward, and said with a warm smile: "I still have time, don't I?"
“...... Belch...... Yes, you canceled afternoon tea, so you still have a quarter of an hour to spare. ”
"Very well, let's go out first. Garcia's tone was unmistakable.
Soon, everyone was gone, and Garcia was left in the room, with the angry young man across from him, the little duke of the Minas family, Roddy.
"Your fists are still so hard, Roddy. The crown prince looked at Roddy, his eyes were gentle, and then grinned, and at this moment, he actually turned around and sat down in the chair, and then ripped the button on his neckline.
"You should fight. Luo Di stood there with an angry expression on his face: "I remember, I sued you! If you let my sister be wronged again, I will definitely make you suffer." ”
Garcia still looked calm, he smiled, and threw the handkerchief on the table: "I have to attend a banquet in a while, and you have delayed my time." ”
"Fuck the party!" Roddy said angrily, "Yesterday my sister came home, and although I don't know what happened, she hid in her room and cried all night!
The crown prince's face, which had always been as calm as an ancient well, suddenly showed a mocking smirk: "What did I do to her? Roddy, you are so stupid! It is precisely because I didn't treat her that she cries!"
"......" Roddy blushed and couldn't speak, so he could only stare at Garcia fiercely.
A strange smile flashed in Garcia's eyes, and then he sighed: "Okay, I'll tell you too, this is the last time you'll hit me." ”
He stood up, walked to the mirror, looked in the mirror, made a grinning motion, saw that the corners of his eyes were a little bruised, seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and frowned: "I'm serious, this is the last time you offend me." I've always allowed you to mess around, because you're Roddy. I don't have many friends, and you can say that you are the only one. ”
"Hmph, I've never considered you a friend. Roddy couldn't help but stab the other party: "Since Daiffini married you, you have treated her badly, and you are no longer my friend!"
"It doesn't matter. The crown prince smiled faintly: "I understand, so I won't blame you." But I also tell you that this is the last time I will tolerate your disrespect for me, the last time. ”
"Hmph, what if there is a next time?" Luo Di sneered: "You are the crown prince, the future emperor, are you ready to punish me severely!"
"No, I wouldn't do that. The crown prince's tone was gentle: "But, next time, I will fight back." ”
He smiled lightly, turned around and walked in front of Roddy, his tone was soft and kind: "Roddy, it's better not to do that kind of thing, because, I don't like to attack people, and you know that I don't like to use force, and I don't like to hurt my friends, so please don't push me again." ”
After speaking, the crown prince's eyes became indifferent, turned his head, turned his back to Luo Di, looked at himself in the mirror carefully, and coldly threw a sentence: "After speaking, you can bow back, remember your identity and demeanor, Luo Di, you will be the one who will be a duke in the future, and you will be an example for the nobles of my Byzantine Empire." ”
Roddy's face was blue, his fists clenched, but he finally didn't say a word, snorted, turned his head and rushed out of the door.
rushed out of the crown prince's room in one breath, and in the strange eyes of many guards and servants outside, Luo Di rushed to the lobby downstairs and ran out of the crown prince's palace through the door, only then did he feel the depression in his chest feel a little lighter.
He really wanted to rush up and punch him two more times just now! But I don't know why, at that moment, although the crown prince turned his back to him, Luo Di clearly saw the face of the crown prince in the mirror!
That face...... I'm laughing!!
Although this meticulous guy has not usually smiled, the smile in the ordinary rì is the kind of ceremonial smile, even when he laughs, there is no trace of smile in his eyes!
But just now, the face of the crown prince in the mirror was really smiling at himself! The smile was full of mockery and disdain...... Moreover, laughing so unscrupulously!!laughing so unfathomable!!
That kind of laughter is full of a condescending taste, as if he is facing an insignificant ant crawling in front of him!!
At that moment, Luo Di didn't know what was going on, his heart was suddenly depressed and uncomfortable, a familiar sense of oppression spread all over his body, and his clenched fist couldn't get out, as if a potential consciousness told himself that if he dared to do it, then something terrible would definitely happen next!
Such a smile, that unfathomable look, faintly familiar.
It seems that among the people I know, who else is smiling like this?
After thinking about it carefully for a while, Luo Di's whole body suddenly became cold, and cold sweat poured out from his body!
Come to think of it!
Be...... It's Cavishir!!
The crown prince smiled in the mirror, and the smile looked like that horrible old guy in Cavishir!!
In front of the mirror, the crown prince rearranged his clothes with the help of his servants, and a delicate young servant carefully picked out a box of cool anointment with his little finger and carefully applied it to the corners of the crown prince's swollen eyes.
The crown prince looked coldly in the mirror, no matter how he tried to hide it, the bruises in the corners of his eyes could not be eliminated immediately.
"My dear steward. The crown prince called in a low voice, and the steward immediately stood behind him with his head bowed.
"I need you to do something, and you do it yourself. ”
"Yes, Your Highness. The steward hastened to answer.
The crown prince took a breath, his voice was slow and his tone was tepid: "Go to my dear wife, and tell her that because of her lack of restraint, I have been wounded by her dear brother, and so, in order to punish her for such immodest behavior, I want her to stay in the castle, preferably not to go out for a month, and to reflect on it." I am sure that my dear wife will be considerate of me in making such a request. ”
The manager shook his body.
He is an old man next to Garcia, and he has followed the crown prince for more than 20 years, so he is familiar with the crown prince's xìngzi, although this crown prince has never been happy or angry, but following him for many years, he can also grasp some signs of this highness's mood change from some details.
This highness, whenever he is most angry, will appear slower on the surface! The slower he speaks, the angrier he is in his heart!
Especially with a title like "dear", once he says it, it means that this highness is already furious.
The chief steward trembled and quickly bowed his head in response.
"Alright, don't tidy it up. The crown prince suddenly turned away from the mirror, leaving the many servants standing by the mirror stunned.
"With this demeanor, I can't attend the banquet, cancel it. The crown prince sighed and walked to the window: "Everyone goes out, the chief stays." ”
When the servants cautiously withdrew, the steward stood behind the crown prince: "Your Highness, you ......"
"I'm going to go out for a while. The crown prince turned around and looked at the old steward, who had followed him for twenty years, as if there was a trace of genuine tiredness in his eyes: "I need to go and take a break." Well, you know where I am, and if there's something, you cover it up for me. ”
As he spoke, he walked in front of the old manager, stretched out his hand and pressed on the other party's shoulder, at this moment, the gentleness in his eyes was the true expression, and he whispered: "Jacques, I'm tired." ”
Jacques Chief's face changed, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed, raised his hand, pressed the hand of the crown prince on his shoulder, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, I understand." ”
"Well, it's not that you're tired, it's ...... Over here. Garcia pointed to his heart, and at this moment, his face turned pale.
Then he swept his eyes and looked at the chief Jacques: "Actually, Jacques, I know that you have always been afraid in your heart, because you know that secret of mine...... So, you've always been afraid of me, afraid I'm going to kill you, aren't you?"
Jacques' face trembled, and he suddenly fell to his knees with a thud.
"No, Jacques. Garcia's face was very peaceful, and he smiled lightly: "I'm tired, so there is someone by my side who knows my secrets, and I can hide it in front of you, so I feel very relaxed...... So, don't worry, I won't kill you. ”
※※※About an hour later, the arena of Osgilia was filled with a huge samurai tournament of the year, and because it was in the main stage, the arena that could accommodate tens of thousands of people was almost full.
The huge arena is like a beehive, and the raucous shouts and noisy voices float in the air, lingering! Tens of thousands of people shout and roar together, unscrupulously venting the furious emotions in their hearts!
On the arena in the square, a burly warrior with a hideous smile on his face, used a battle axe to split the opponent in front of him with a sword and shield in half, and the axe handle stabbed the opponent's chest fiercely, and the crisp sound of bones bursting, even under the roar of the audience, seemed to be so clear!
Seeing a samurai on the stage fall to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth, the hideous axe-wielding samurai walked over, grabbed the other man's hair, and lifted the man up...... Tens of thousands of people in the audience were yelling, all venting their violent emotions in a frenzy.
"Kill him!Kill him!!"
"Kill him!!"
In the midst of the chaos and rage, no one could have noticed that in the midst of the crowd, in one of the most inconspicuous corners of the south stand, a young man with a pale and delicate face, dressed in a dirty linen garment, and wearing a leather felt hat that must have been stained with oil, sat in the middle of the crowd, and his face, which should have been delicate and calm, was full of fury and hideousness, and his features were distorted into a ball.
Sandwiched between tens of thousands of people, the young man also contorted his face, his eyes full of violence, raised his fists, and roared in a voice that was already hoarse.
"Kill, kill!!"
All this ...... It seems like it was supposed to be a secret in the first place.
