Chapter 1029: Sarcasm (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Watching Lahter laugh hysterically like crazy, under the flickering light, the originally handsome face became distorted and hideous, and it looked extremely terrifying.
The middle-aged man next to him didn't care at all, and even appreciated it a little in his heart.
Mixed with his status, he has long been well-informed, and he is very knowledgeable about what glory, justice,
Glory...... Even the world's qiē praise words are no longer interested.
even thinks that with sufficient reading power, he is already like a philosopher who has experienced vicissitudes, and can easily see through the ugliness and dirtiness behind the flashiness. It's not because he himself has been soaking in the big manure tank for too long, and he has long been blackened.
So all along, he has also turned a blind eye to Laht's behavior.
As the son of the world-shattering General Haddou, Chapter 1029 Irony (asking for a monthly ticket), Laht has to face not only his unsurpassable father, but also the huge family behind him who support him.
The life and death of many people, the rise and fall of many families, are all tied to him alone.
In this case, even being an ugly bad guy is much better than being a good guy who only knows how to be obedient and incompetent.
Therefore, even though General Haddou was extremely dissatisfied with this son, he strongly supported Laht to engage in the "Dead Turtle Princess", a promising career that became the leading cultural and entertainment figure in Khaligard.
And it was with this prosperous industry that he privately provided Haddou with a large amount of money.
Although this matter is not very nice to say, but at the same time, he has gradually gained the support of some people.
General Haddou used to worry a lot about money. Now that I have financial resources, although I am still a little dissatisfied in my heart, I don't say anything on the surface.
In this way, although his power is still not as strong as Angel, under that careful management, he has gradually grown.
Thinking of this, the middle-aged man smiled, then shook his wine glass, and said coldly: "My dear nephew, don't be too complacent.
Chapter 1029 Irony (Asking for a Monthly Pass) As the saying goes: The water that a wooden barrel can hold is not determined by the longest, but by the shortest board.
Those two fools are only with us temporarily. But if their plans
If we are exposed in advance, we will also be unlucky.
There are a lot of people around Angel who don't like us. They've been staring at us for a long time. ”
Laht snorted angrily and jumped up from the couch.
He took a few sips of the bottle, and the spilled wine dripped down his chin and onto the little girl's body, splashing patches of red wine stains on the light veil.
Laht wiped the corners of his mouth vigorously and said, "I know." Uncle. I'll keep it a secret for them.
These two idiots, they didn't dig into the details before they did Feng, and they actually pulled people into the gang to our heads, is there anything more ridiculous than this?
If we hadn't cleaned up for him, these two guys would have been noticed by Angel and chopped with a knife. ”
The middle-aged man also laughed, shook his head and said, "So, don't be in the company of stupid people, it will only make us die faster." Angel is like this, and so are these two princes, too self-righteous. ”
Laht glanced at the girl next to him, then leaned over to approach the middle-aged man, and whispered nervously: "When will I be able to do it, I see Angel's proud appearance now, and I can't wait to strangle him with my own hands, that dog guy still has to turn around in front of me twice a day, showing off his might."
It's so deceitful~!"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "No hurry, no hurry." Inside and outside the city are now the last Angel's people, and once our people are transferred, it is easy for Angel to see the problem. Wait. ”
"Wait?" Laht slammed his palm on the table and hissed, "Wait? There is not much time left for us. I could feel the blade on my neck. ”
The middle-aged man glared at Laht dissatisfied, threw the wine glass on the table, and scolded: "Are you in a hurry? I'm more anxious than you~!"
Seeing that the middle-aged man was angry, Laht smiled wryly, and hurriedly said, "That's not what I meant, uncle, don't be angry." ”
The middle-aged man let out a long sigh and said, "Calm down, Laht, calm down~!"
We only have one chance to do this kind of thing, and if we miss it, we can't do it again.
Now that the situation is chaotic, I will have people persuade Angel to send more troops out again. As long as the troops are all transferred, Haligad will be ours, and then ......"
The middle-aged man gave him a meaningful look and a cruel smile on his face.
Lahter immediately laughed, but then he thought of something, but he froze, and then hesitated: "In case the time comes, my father will ......."
The middle-aged man jumped up in anger, pointed at Laht's nose and scolded loudly: "It's all come to this, what are you hesitating about?"
Laht hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, I, I..."
The middle-aged man sat down and took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "We don't have a choice, Laht, if my brother-in-law is okay, we will not hesitate to fight with them to the end, with the help of that side, the outcome is still unknown."
But you know your father's situation, too. ”
Laht didn't want to believe the middle-aged man's statement, and insisted that "maybe there is still hope for my father9"
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "I also hope that your father will get up, but we have used all possible means.
Although your father has nothing on the surface, he has always had a secret illness.
That was still at the beginning, when invading the Ruman Empire, in the face of the enemy's heavy encirclement and suppression, although the whole army retreated, but in the battle, it was seriously injured.
It's just that in order to combat the arrogance of the enemy, the general never preaches it, and few people know about it.
But this time, he was so angry that he relapsed together.
If he takes three or five years to recuperate, he can recover, but where do we find these three or five years?
The enemy could kick open the door and break into our house at any time~!"
Laht muttered as if he had lost his soul, "There really is no chance?"
The middle-aged man spread his hands, shook his head and sighed, and said, "If we don't act, all of our lives will be ruined with the Southern Army."
We must keep the fire for our family, Laht, and it is our responsibility. ”
Laht looked at the delicate girl in his arms, his face was pale, and he didn't dare to think that if he lost them, he would be like this.
After a moment of silence, Laht asked in a low voice, "Have you negotiated the terms with the other party?"
The middle-aged man showed an excited look, nodded and said in affirmativeness: "It's done." And we went over the middleman and talked directly to the two biggest bosses on the other side. ”
"Who?" said Raht angrily, "the dog man and woman?"
He is still Hadu's son, this old man has been fighting with people all his life, but when he comes to him, he has to endure humiliation and lick people's boots for the sake of his family. It's really reluctant.
The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "That old boy from Julius doesn't know that we contacted that witch and her subordinate Vishan. ”
Laht pondered for a moment, frowned and thought, "That's not good."
At this time, Laht pursed his lips, frowned, and his eyes sparkled, how could he still look like the usual crazy gentleman.
The middle-aged man looked at Laht's appearance and sighed secretly in his heart, when it comes to intelligence, Laht has been much stronger than Angel since he was a child. It can be seen since he made this laurel huā garden.
That's why he likes Haddou's family even more.
Everyone didn't like the fake, serious Angel, but Laht's cleverness was never used in the right place, and he was proficient in eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.
Laht looked at the middle-aged man and analyzed seriously: "If you bypass the old boy of Julio, and the goddamn bastard of Lorraine, and make peace with the northerners alone, after they know about it, it will definitely anger them."
If Julius, the old boy, doesn't admit to the negotiation and reconciliation at that time, we won't be a dead end?
There were 500,000 of them, and the witch had less than 100,000 under her command, and she was all a bunch of fools.
"I suspect," Lahter said, pressing his thumb to the door of his head, "that old lady Isabella is not well-intentioned, she may be thinking of crossing the river and tearing down the bridge." ”
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Everyone knows that she is not well-intentioned." But for us, it's much better to talk to that witch than to talk to that bastard Julius.
We don't have a choice, Laht.
The Rumans won't give us a chance to negotiate, those damned Rumans have only one purpose, to kill us and uproot our Haddou family. ”
Laht fell silent for a moment.
They all knew that the hatred between Hadu and the Rumans was too deep, and that this war would be a defeat for the Rumans if they did not completely wash away the shame.
Laht patted his head with his palm and said resentfully: "Damn the Jomans, damn Julius, damn Lorraine."
How could that guy in Lorraine not die at the hands of the High Priest of the Undead, how much trouble can we save. ”
The middle-aged man also had a hateful expression on his face, clenched his glass tightly, and said, "There will be this day, Laht, there will be this day." Someone will take his life without us doing it.
The most important thing is that for us, there is no monolith between the peacekeepers and the witch, they both have their own plans hidden in their hearts. That enchantress wants to get an entire South from us, and doesn't want to see the war destroy it.
And Julio, the old boy, will not hesitate to turn the south into a scorched earth, and the Jumans will not leave the Almohads a rich and hateful land.
Their contradictions are opportunities for us. ”
"But we can't pin all our hopes on that witch. ”
The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "Of course not." Everything is up to us. ”
"What conditions did they offer?" Raht asked.
"Hmm" the middle-aged man thought for a moment and said, "All the troops of our Southern Army will be merged into their new army, hand over all the territory, take care of the local nobles and officials, and assist the Northern Yankees in stabilizing order before the demon woman takes over."
Then we can leave Almohad with our possessions as we please. ”
Laht sneered and said, "This is equivalent to washing the whole south white and bringing it to the northerners' table for them to enjoy, and they don't even have to make a share." ”
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and said, "Do you have any other strength methods? This is already the best condition I can get."
It's not that you don't know the reputation of that kid in Lorraine, if you continue to fight, as soon as the peacekeeping force passes, the entire southern elite will be in the pocket of that guy in Lorraine, and the northern Yankees don't want to see this ending, so we have a chance, otherwise even that witch won't let us go. ”
Laht sighed and said, "After decades of hard work, I will become a poor egg again overnight." ”
The middle-aged man threw down his wine glass, stretched his waist, and said, "Alive, there is a chance, Laht, the seeds of revival have been sown, and we need to be patient until it grows again."
Don't go out and fool around these days, just stay here all the time. ”
Laht smiled: "Don't worry, uncle, I won't go there, I'm still afraid that I will be killed by Angel's killers on the street." ”
As he spoke, Laht threw his head up and laughed maniacally. The laughter was both desperate and sad.
He was also reluctant to negotiate with the Yankees if he could, but now Hadou is down, and it is Angel who is in power.
Originally, at this moment when brothers needed to work together to tide over difficulties, the other party was very close to the tragedy of fratricidal humanity for that position. This has to be said to be a kind of irony.
And in order to save his life, as the son of General Haddou, a famous general in a hundred battles, he also had to bend his knees to his former enemy, which is also another irony.
The middle-aged man shook his head helplessly, opened the door and walked out.

The flag of the peacekeepers flies over the head of the city of Prisca.
The traces of the war are still striking.
The walls that had been destroyed by running back were scattered to the ground, and a large group of captured Confederate soldiers were struggling to clear them.
The New Army soldiers who were supervising next to him brandished whips and sticks and recklessly lectured the Southern Army prisoners.
Because there was not too much artillery firing into the city, most of the buildings in the small town of Prisca were proudly preserved, and Lorraine, who had been exposed to the wind and rain in the field for a month, could finally live in a spacious and clean house.
For Lorraine and Vera, it was blissful.
Prisca City is not big, with a permanent population of more than 10,000 people, but it is quite wealthy, take the hotel in Lorraine as an example, it should be four stars.
As for the city lord's mansion, although it is more beautiful than here, it has been razed to the ground when it has been besieged, under the heavy care of the new army's artillery and artillery fire.
The inhabitants of Priska had already fled when the Northern Army and the Southern Army were fighting.
Now the whole city is completely a barracks.
The hotel, called Ping'an, is now the headquarters of Lorraine. Coming in and out are all members of the peacekeeping force.
Lorraine stands on the roof of the hotel, with a parasol overlooking the Zamibia River in front of her.
On the wide surface of the Zamibia River, three pontoon bridges are being built intensively.
The soldiers of the peacekeeping forces, under the command of the engineers and technicians of the security forces, connected the wooden boats one by one with iron chains, and then laid wooden planks on them.
The pontoon bridge is the fastest under construction, and the deck is more than half the length of the river.
"In two days, the first pontoon bridge will be clear. The real yàn proves that the middle pontoon bridge can pass guò our heaviest transport vehicles. A black-clad Security Army officer reported the progress of the work behind Lorraine.
"It will take at least three days for the pontoon bridge to the east, and a little slower for the pontoon bridge to the west, and we have sent soldiers to collect boats, but within 500 miles of the river upstream, we can no longer find a suitable ferry. ”
Lorraine put his palm in front of his eyes, looked at the soldiers who were busy on the pontoon bridge like ants, and said, "Is there any other way? ”
The generals of the new army behind Lorraine threw down their eyes angrily, and secretly said in their hearts: When don't you treat me, you don't waste your own time. Prima early, and now we're drinking in Middleburg.
The officer of the security army said: "I have asked them to collect logs with a diameter of about one foot.
Tie a wooden row with a log, fix it firmly, and lay it with a wooden plank to make a walking bridge for fellow travelers. ”
Lorraine nodded and said, "You can just look at it." I'm going to take a lot of gold down, don't let them make me a tofu scum project. ”
The black-clothed and silver-clad officer smiled confidently and said, "Please rest assured, my lord, with our security guards watching, they don't dare." ”
As soon as the officer's confident words came out, the officers nearby all felt a chill down their spines. After such a long period of contact, they have already seen that the security army is full of crazy people who cannot be handled by common sense.
A wide transport boat approached the pier on the north shore at a great speed, and I don't know if the sailors on board were drunk, and the whole wooden boat savagely crashed into the pier, and the side of the ship immediately sank into a large piece.
Just when the transport boat was still shaking violently, several sailors jumped off the boat in a hurry, as if there was some man-eating monster on the ship, and ran away.
Seeing the anomaly, a large group of soldiers drew their weapons and surrounded them.
Suddenly an officer of the New Army stood up at the bow of the boat, waved his hand at the approaching soldiers, motioned for them to leave, and then shouted: "Don't come, push a cart, we have something to transport." ”
Several officers and men of the new army on board worked together to carry a rectangular wooden box on the deck.
Lorraine pointed to the docks and said, "What's going on?"
Hassell whispered, "It's our people, sent to the South Bank to do liaison work. ”
Lorraine nodded, the scouts of the peacekeeping force have been operating on the south bank of the river, and the people sent by the new army have also gone to contact and cooperate with Petrius, these should be the people who were sent to contact Petrius.
Hassell was puzzled and said, "But, why did they bring me a suitcase?"
The officers of the New Army put the wooden boxes into the carriage together, lined up the crowd, and drove quickly towards the city.
"Just check it out. Lorraine threw herself downstairs.
Along the way, several officers closely guarded the carriage and galloped into the courtyard of the hotel.
Lorraine walked out of the hotel gate and saw the officer protecting the carriage preventing anyone from approaching it.
Seeing the wooden box lying flat on the carriage, Lorraine suddenly felt a beat in his heart, and his right hand twitched involuntarily, and the Battle Spirit Sword almost jumped out of his hand.
Lorraine suppressed her impulse, squinting her eyes and fixing on the crate.
Seeing Lorraine, several people hurried up to greet him.
Hassel preemptively asked, "Theos, what's going on?"
Teos saluted, walked up to Lorraine and the others, and whispered, "My lord, the matter is urgent, please take a step to speak." ”
Lorraine waved his hand and said, "Go to the backyard." ”
A few people carefully carried the wooden box and put it into a room in a small independent building in the backyard.
The soldiers guarded the compound and, on Lorraine's orders, did not allow anyone to come close.
Confused, Hassel said, "Theos, what the hell is going on?"
An officer in the uniform of the New Army, who had been guarding in front of the wooden box, walked up to him at this time, straightened his waist, and saluted with a "snap" on his heels, and said, "In Nizhny Nartius, Adjutant of General Petrius." See His Excellency Deputy Commander-in-Chief, His Excellency General Hasser. ”!!!
