Chapter 32: Good News
A real man is spelled out.
Cao Zhishu is a commentary on this sentence, since coming to this world. At first, he was just a simple self-preservation, but as time progressed, he came step by step to become the respected village party secretary of the cursed land, and even worked hard for some troubles that would come later.
In the world of mountain rain, Cao Zhishu's heart is also whistling with a strong wind, and anyone can feel that he has been a little depressed recently.
If it weren't for Barkley's trip to the imperial city, Cao Zhishu might no longer be sentimental. But this qiē happened, which made Cao Zhishu often feel a little angry in the dead of night.
Aunt Susan didn't blame the two of them for their actions this time, at least they were quite bloody. They did not give in to the beating of insisting on the truth, let alone change their revolutionary stance, which made the aunt sincerely proud, they are all good children. As for their subsequent retaliation, the aunt also encouraged them that young people should not be afraid to do wrong things.
How can we go back to avenge this arrow? Cao Zhishu has been brewing this issue for a long time, and now it is imperative to go to the imperial city to develop a golden trade route, and with this episode, it can only make the reason for returning to Sri Lanka more sufficient.
At this point, Cao Zhishu and Stern have a similar side, and they are very vindictive. Originally, the well water did not interfere with the river water, if Stern said it well, it would be enough, and if he beat the person of Cao Zhishu, this beam would have already been settled. The fuse was lit by Stern, and Cao Zhishu didn't respond to it.
Stern's warning, Cao Zhishu had already read it when the two returned. It's just that Stern used the wrong method, and the more he didn't want to see Cao Zhishu, the more he forced Cao Zhishu to catch up with him.
Cao Zhishu also knew what happened after he left Sri Lanka, and now Stern is undoubtedly the most proud person in the Beamon Empire. If you want the temple to come and inspect it, and agree that your mission is complete, this can almost be declared bankrupt.
Stern's attack on the Dragon Slayer Twins also has another layer, which makes Cao Zhishu have to carefully consider the idea of directly returning to Sri Lanka. Stern wasn't a soft-hearted man, so what if that old guy had drawn his mutual hatred into the innocent villagers of Blaich?
This seems to be like a dead knot, pressing heavily on Cao Zhishu's heart. Touching a cigar and stuffing it into his mouth, Wangcai hurriedly took a dead branch burning in the pyre and lit it for the boss, and got a relieved look from the boss, and Wangcai also squeezed his eyebrows for a while. The feed of the aunt's family lived up to expectations and cultivated Wangcai into a Warcraft version of Buckley.
After less than two days of silence, a knight on a tall and bony horse suddenly arrived in the village of Blech and broke the silence.
This houseman knight came from the Sri Lankan Royal Knights' Guard, and his muddy leather armor and resolute face exuded a unique taste of a soldier, and this soldier's demeanor won Cao Zhishu's favor.
No matter where you are, the style of a soldier's gestures can easily resonate with men. Cao Zhishu, who also had a military career, still misses this taste that once upon a time was also entangled in him.
Without saying anything, Cao Zhishu, who was a priest, waved his hand and sprinkled a blessing aura to this dusty knight. The thick and dazzling white light surprised the knight for a while, and he noticed that the protagonist who had been making a lot of noise in Sri Lanka recently was the aura of the Divine Comedy of Instantaneous Silence!
As a soldier who has worked with priests on missions, the knight is no stranger to the Divine Comedy. After the priests of the temple reached a certain rank, they all had to move with the army, and even many priests would be stationed in the army. This is not only a tradition of the Bimon Empire, but also the root of the noble charisma of the priests in the military.
The knight, who had lived in the military for many years, was not a villager in the middle of nowhere, and he could feel that the protagonist who had made him run this leg was an unusual priest. Although it was the lowest level of blessing aura, he had never seen a priest casually throw out a smoking rod in his mouth. Not only was it outrageously thick, but the knight also felt his spirit stir up.
This guy was definitely not a simple traveling priest!, the knight thought so, and did not forget to pay his respects to the priest, and put his palm across the leather armor on his chest.
"Let's take a sip first!" Before the knight could speak, a rough guy next to him wrung a leather bag affectionately and poured a mouthful of liquid into his mouth.
Before the knight could lose his temper and reprimand him for this rude act, the mellow and strong liquor conquered the knight's taste buds first. He didn't come back to his senses for a while, and the hot comfort in his chest almost made him forget his last name, and he didn't even realize that Barkley had pinched his upright ass.
"Dude, this ...... What kind of wine is this?" the knight's voice trembled a little, of course he had drunk wine, but the best wine he had ever drunk was like horse urine compared to what he tasted now, which was almost the same as Cao Zhishu's evaluation of Monte's wine.
"The cellar height is 'Liuliangye', you're welcome. Barkley waved his hand, a bold face.
"Come on, float a cigar, 'bulge' cigar!" the handsome Wade dude rudely shoved a cigar from his ear into the knight's mouth and lit it for him.
The knight calf learns the big cow to, and it takes half a day to smoke. He had long been curious about this smoking stick, and after coming here, the first thing he saw was the three big men swallowing clouds and spitting fog here, indescribably chic and uninhibited.
The first puff of spicy smoke choked the knight's tears, and the second sip was smooth, and he suddenly had a fluttering feeling, and the thick smoke made the knight feel as if he had flown into the sky and returned to the arms of the beast god.
Barkley and Wade winked at the boss for a while, the last time they went to the imperial capital, they forgot to try the recognition of their compatriots in big cities with tobacco and alcohol, and now it is just right to make up for it. This dusty and serious knight has become a test subject for the two. The effect is undoubted, just look at the sparkle in the knight's eyes.
"Respected knight, I don't know what you are doing here?" Cao Zhishu cleared his throat and said politely, finally waking up the fluttering knight.
After receiving the warm hospitality of the Divine Comedy and the Tobacco and Alcohol, the knight enthusiastically stated that he had come to this cursed land on the orders of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was accompanied by a letter of appointment from the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs, bearing the bright red seal of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In the courtyard of Aunt Susan's house, the knight read the letter of appointment in public. Many villagers who heard the news and rushed to see the excitement immediately cheered and clapped their hands in celebration. They didn't know how difficult this letter of appointment was, and they didn't know how difficult the trip to the Imperial City of the Dragon Slayer Twins was.
Happiness came so suddenly! Half of the cigar in Cao Zhishu's mouth fell into the dust, and Wangcai had been waiting hard for it and had a reward, so he jumped up and smacked it.
This strange creature made the knight's eyelids flutter, and this strange little beast looked very ferocious!
"Great!Old Stern bastard, Lao Tzu is coming back!" Cao Zhishu suddenly laughed wildly, and he almost hugged the stunned knight over and kissed the two.
Even in front of outsiders, Cao Zhishu has no scruples. It was disrespectful to call the High Priest by his name, which made the knight frown slightly. However, when he saw Barkley shaking his huge heavy leather bag and asking him with his eyes if he wanted to take two mouthfuls, the knight immediately put on a friendly smile and unceremoniously poured two mouthfuls.
His posture of wanting to pour himself into pulmonary edema made Barkley's eyelids jump vaguely. Fuck! It's not for the good news you bring, just a few sips of wine, this stunned young man has to peel off his leather armor, and by the way, he will work in the village for ten days and half a month to redeem himself*!
This time the East is not bright, and the West is bright. It was dark on the temple side, but the official side was lit up! A total of more than 30,000 people wrote on the bus, which attracted the attention of His Majesty Pedro, the Imperial King.
If it weren't for Stern walking down the Holy Mountain and calling on everyone not to disturb the tranquility of the Holy Mountain because of his fanaticism, I am afraid that this huge farce would not have died so hastily, and it would have caused even greater waves.
Even Master Albrecht could feel the strangeness in it, could there be fewer intelligent people among those dignitaries and nobles in the Mongol Empire? In order to examine the nature of this explosive news, as soon as he received the report, His Majesty the King summoned several ministers of the cabinet and held a discussion meeting that was not known to too many people.
The discussion at the meeting was divided into two factions, one represented by the Rhine magnate Heinsohn, the Grand Duke of Lionheart, who insisted that it was a malicious incident with bad intentions to incite the people of the good Imperial City. The reason is very simple, the current situation of the various characters involved in this incident can be explained. Albrecht, the master of human art who drove the development of the matter, hurriedly returned to China when his artwork was still being exhibited in Sri Lanka, apparently because he was a thief and feared being held accountable. Even the initiators, the dragon slaying twin stars that are praised among the people, have long since fled and disappeared. It is estimated that when they saw that the matter exceeded their accusations, they absconded in fear of crime.
As for Mariah Carey's dispatch to the Oracle Temple, Heinsohn said nothing. But who can be in the top echelons of imperial power is not a human spirit in the officialdom? I can't see that there is something wrong with it, that is, it is insulting their intelligence. The Rhine faction represented by Heinsohn wore the same pants as Stern, and even after losing the battle for royal power, the Rhines still held huge power in the Empire. It is deeply rooted, and it is not said that it can be cut off.
Needless to say, the other faction is the Tiger faction represented by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Grand Duke Klose. The Tiger people agree that the reaction of the parties cannot be used as the final criterion, and that it is most likely a coincidence. Now that there has been such a big commotion, the evidence that the traveling priest led his followers to slay the dragon is conclusive, and the thousand-year-old curse of the Village of the Damned has been dissolved, which is all true. The information on the bus is quite detailed, and it mentions the recent import of the Pyg Julin branch of the Tim Tin. The exploit of saving a group of heroes was also sat down tightly by this traveling priest.
After the main temple of Auburn Hill was purged by Stern, there were also people of the Tiger tribe. These did not suffer because there was no definite handle to be caught by Stern. So in the temple, the Tiger also has its own eyes and ears.
Whether it is the rich woman holding the tears of the stars or the two dragon-slaying warriors who were beaten down by Auburn Mountain, this has been known by the high-level of the Tiger tribe. The secular people don't know what is going on behind the scenes, so much so that they don't know much about the real situation of the books on the bus, but the big men of the Tiger have plenty of ways to get the facts.
After a little analysis, the sharp-minded Tiger magnates found something unusual. It's so unorthodox that Stern is so unfair to a small traveling priest that he not only turns a blind eye to his great merits, but even blindly suppresses him!
