Chapter Ninety-Five: Meltem Who Loves to Take a Bath (Part I) (Alliance Leader "Bangba" Gagen)
may have understood that Guo Kang was very tired today, and Theodora did not come directly to Xingshi to ask for his guilt, allowing him to sleep peacefully.
Unfortunately, the stepfather was not as considerate as Theodora. Early the next morning, Guo Kang, who still wanted to sleep lazily, was dragged out again and asked to go to practice together.
An hour later, Guo Kang lay on the ground like a dead dog. Guo Daxia picked him up and made him move a few more laps. Subsequently, the two sweating profusely came to the back house.
As a great nobleman of Rome, the Guo family's house also has the quintessence of Rome - a bathhouse.
It's just that the bathhouse in his house is still not authentic enough.
The orthodox Roman bathhouse was a huge public bathhouse, and its main function was probably not bathing, but socializing and playing. If you simply wash it at home, you will lose its essence.
However, his family's situation is more special. Guo Daxia knows the practice wholeheartedly, and he doesn't use the hot tub in this bathhouse all year round.
Moreover, he also didn't like the promiscuous and noisy environment in the orthodox bathhouse in Rome, and felt that it was not conducive to the improvement of martial arts, so he insisted on making another set of his own. Even the bath water every time was not from the canal, but he led Guo Kang to pick it up again and again with a pointed bucket when there was no one in the early morning.
Guo Kang was skeptical at first whether it was safe to go out at this time. After all, the security of the capital can't be counted on too much, as soon as the sky is dark, all kinds of thieves and robbers emerge in an endless stream, and even dare to rob the sweat. But his father-in-law told him that the people here are honest and don't worry.
After a few trips back and forth without incident, Guo Kang wondered if there was something wrong with his impression of the medieval city or the people in the neighborhood. It wasn't until later that he heard from others that Guo Daxia had always insisted on catching thieves here and practicing kung fu with him.
In other words, there were originally thieves in this place, and if there were many beatings, there would be no thieves.
Although since Guo Kang followed him, he hadn't slept well in the morning, let alone enjoyed other things. But his father-in-law's lifestyle has been praised by many people, and he has also enjoyed a lot of benefits.
These people believed that cultural decay was the root cause of the decline of the Roman Empire, and therefore needed to reinvent the virtues of the real Romans.
Gourdaus's style of life is similar to that of the ancients who believed in Stoicism, self-discipline and simplicity. After a long time, a group of followers gathered around under the slogan "Revival of Rome". Guo Kang was pulled by him to practice with him every day, and he was also familiar with these people.
For Guo Kang, this can be regarded as an unexpected gain.
Today, there are still only him and his father-in-law in the house, and they are very quiet. However, as soon as he finished taking a shower, several officials of the Ministry of War had already blocked his father-in-law at the door, saying that they wanted to reflect the problems that arose during the reorganization of the 14th "Galich" auxiliary regiment. The crowd complained as they hugged him and left.
Guo Kang sorted out yesterday's notes at home.
There are a lot of data recorded in the notebook, and there are several opinions from Zhu Wenkui, and a set of formulas that were interrupted by Jeanna halfway through the calculation and said that they were completely wrong.
Guo Kang took out another notebook, filled in the data into the redrawn table, and re-calculated, and found that there were no errors. He complained about Jeanne's little ghost for a few words, decided not to listen to her next time, and then copied Zhu Wenkui's opinion on another piece of paper and sandwiched it in a notebook.
It took more than half an hour for him to finish his work. After that, he also packed his things and prepared to go to Niangniang Temple to check his daily work, and by the way, ask what other craftsmen think over there.
With a few notebooks, Guo Kang walked out of the door and shouted towards the door: "Bu Lei! Help me send this notebook to King Wu's mansion and give it to Zhu Shizi, and say that I will ask him to see the diameter of the cannon barrel......"
However, Bu Lei, who was standing guard at the door, did not trot over as usual, but Theodora, who was wearing a purple robe, walked in on his own. Guo Kang's mind was full of cannon numbers, and then he remembered what she had left down yesterday, and he was startled, and the notebook in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Where's Bu Lei? Come in and help him deliver the letter. Theodora looked back.
The two soldiers, who were probing their brains in the porter, heard this and immediately straightened up. A bearded Bulgarian strode in and took the notebook from Guo Kang's hand. Back at the gate, he turned his head and glanced at Guo Kang sympathetically, and hurriedly left.
Guo Kang was about to say something, when another soldier walked halfway and turned back, slamming the door for him.
"Your guards are so skilled." Theodora commented.
"Well, my parents sometimes quarrel...... Guo Kang said euphemistically.
"Goldaeus still quarrels?" Theodora looked a little surprised.
Guo Kang wanted to tell her that it was a one-sided quarrel. But for the sake of his father-in-law's reputation outside, he decided not to say it.
"But it's convenient." When Theodora had finished talking to herself, she said to him again, "Now, then, can you tell me what you were doing yesterday with Miss Jeanne's clothes?" ”
"We're going to set up an organization to study steam power." Guo Kang thought about it, but still picked up the less sensitive points, and said truthfully: "Miss Jeanna can help a lot, so I excitedly thank her, and that's it." ”
"Thanks? I looked like she was going to swear allegiance to her. Theodora said sourly.
"Well, maybe I'm not familiar with all the different etiquette." Guo Kang had no choice but to explain.
"Can you tell me, then, to whom you are willing to be allegiant?" Theodora immediately asked, "I hope you can tell me clearly and reassure me." ”
"I am loyal to Kuriltai and the people of Rome!" Guo Kang reflexively saluted and replied loudly.
“……”
Theodora was stunned for a moment: "Then you are really a competent Roman......"
"Oh, I'm loyal to you, too." Guo Kang reacted and quickly explained.
"Alright, alright." Theodora waved her hand helplessly: "I understand, it's useless to ask you, next time I'll talk to Miss Jeanne directly." ”
Guo Kang was amnesty, showed a happy smile like a brother in the Niangniang Temple, and hurriedly led her inside, inviting her to sit down and talk.
The two of them walked to the front of the hall, and Theodora stopped suddenly.
"Who is that?" She asked, pointing warily to the roof.
"Huh?" Guo Kang took a step back and also looked at it: "Oh, that's Mertham." Leave her alone. ”
"No, that's obviously a ...... It's a girl, isn't it? Theodora was taken aback: "How do you say like a wild cat?" ”
"You haven't ...... yet Oh yes, you probably haven't met her yet. Guo Kang then remembered: "Hey, my brain has been busy for the past few days." Let me introduce you to her. ”
Fearing that Theodora would misunderstand again, he quickly raised his head and shouted to himself, "Meltham! Get up, meltem! ”
“……”
After looking at it, the shelves are starting with 13 alliance leaders. It's okay, it's auspicious......
I don't know if there is a general soldier or something at the starting point, so I hurried to hug my thighs
