Chapter 150: Cooking Wine on Heroes (Part II)
It's very simple to start a conversation between men, just a bonfire, a few bowls of wine, and it's done. Captain Cao is not mentally prepared at all, whether it is Heinrich or Leonardo, for Captain Cao, they are all people who can't fight together, and cooking wine with these two guys to talk about heroes?
"Everyone's pursuit is different, but it does not mean that there will be similarity or even the same in the process of pursuit. Some things seem difficult, but they are actually very simple. Some things seem simple, but they are actually difficult. Leonardo straightened his shirt, a gesture known for his aristocratic temperament, imitated by many, but never equaled his elegance.
Heinrich was completely let go, and said with a bold smile: "My wish is very simple, when the wind and frost sword of the years have accelerated the old age and wrinkled the time; when we are all gray-haired and drooping old, at least Lao Tzu still has the capital to be able to talk to his children and grandchildren in front of the fire, and back then, Lao Tzu was also a generation of heroes! This is enough!"
"I envy you, you all seem to have your own clear ideas and decisions. And I, until now, didn't know where I, Leonardo, should go. Leonardo's eyes, which reflected the deep twilight, seemed to have a bright light, and in his seemingly casual tone, there was an indescribable sense of boredom and confusion.
Captain Cao and Heinrich glanced at each other, and both felt a little incredible. Whenever Leonardo appears, he always gives people a sense of calm and confident. Can such a person feel lost about what he wants? It's definitely an international joke. In anyone's opinion, Leonardo has reached the pinnacle of a normal person's life, whether it is fame, wealth, power, or even historical lows, he has risen to the height of legend. If there is no precise goal and pursuit, how can it be possible to go so fast and successful?
If anyone dares to say that Leonardo is a man who doesn't even know what he wants, and walks out the door for fear that he will be dismembered by those crazy admirers of Leonardo in the empire! Captain Cao and Heinrich also don't want to believe such an absurd and uninhibited fact, but at this moment, it seems. Leonardo didn't look like he was lying.
"With all due respect, Lord Leonardo, you are not at all as confused as you describe yourself. Every step you take shocks the world, you are still so young, and your future is endless. If there's one of the three of us who is most likely to change the world, it's you. After a long pause, Heinrich finally broke the silence. Heinrich said it very sincerely, although Heinrich and Leonardo also belonged to different camps and factions, and even Heinrich's faction did not like Leonardo very much. But on a personal level, Heinrich had nothing but admiration for Leonardo.
"Yes! A legendary version of life, and the eccentricity of the creator. You're close to perfection, and whatever you want is not a challenge for you. I guess you're just confused because of this, because you've gotten so much that you don't find anything challenging for you. Head Cao also added a few words.
"Do you think that's really the case? Is it true that with status, there is really everything that everyone envies? The closer this pyramid of fame is to the top, the narrower the foothold, and the more dangerous it becomes. Am I not clear how I got to where I am today? I, Leonardo, am just a guy who relies on his wealth and relies on women to get into the position. What's the use of being good-looking? It's just that people call it a little white face behind their backs. Leonardo only smiled self-deprecatingly, and didn't take what the two said seriously. The more positive a person is, the corresponding. His negative comments will also become numerous. A person like Leonardo, who is on the cusp of the storm, has always lived such a life, and to say that Leonardo has not heard those negative comments about him is to deceive himself. Maybe he's already perfect. But not all the people in this world are envious of him, and there are also many people who are jealous of him.
"It's just gossip, they just don't know how you grew up. And I believe. Even if you hadn't gone through these things, you would still be you, and you wouldn't be much worse than you are today. Before you joined the DiCaprio family, the glorious history of the Alba family was also legendary, and it was the first family to achieve the fourth generation and three princes in the heyday of our Beamon Empire, and such a bloodline is destined to be no ordinary people. Heinrich looked serious, and the most unaccustomed people like him were those who were telling right and wrong behind their backs. Many people who like to tell the truth know a little about history, but Heinrich knows a lot. Leonardo's original family, even if it is now in decline, does not negate its former glory. Whoever wants to say that Leonardo was born lowly is ridiculous.
"As we all know. You have not relied on anything to achieve what you have today. After so many southern expeditions, could it be that the DiCaprio family relied on the influence of the DiCaprio family to win?Isn't the Silver Fox Clan, which was already weak, also because of your rise that it once again stepped on the stage of the storm?" Captain Cao's attitude towards this point is the same, these can't be called stains on Leonardo's life at all, at most he took a shortcut. Even if those things hadn't happened, with Leonardo's talent, he would definitely not be unknown. Even if it is buried in a dung pit, gold is gold.
"Perhaps...... In my life, I have no regrets. For more than ten years, the prince and the marquis, even if it is a dream, it is also romantic. Leonardo regained his composure, but his gaze turned to Captain Cao, and said, "Heaven has determined which family I belong to, and fortunately it leaves room for you in choosing friends. Let's talk about you, our hero of the Southern Expedition, you are in the limelight. Do you know what rumors are there in the empire now? I don't see Commander Cao in my life, and it is in vain to call yourself a hero! Before I set off, your name was already ringing in the streets and alleys, and even if you wanted to keep a low profile, you still entered everyone's sight. ”
Ouch ****, what should come is always coming, and Captain Cao can only have such an idea. After a pause, Head Cao poured himself a bowl of hot wine and said: "In the emperor's hegemony, it is better than getting drunk in life." Times change quickly. There are talented people in the country, and I am just a flash in the pan. Soon there will be a lot of talented people, and the world will soon forget about me as the number one person. Even now, there are many people in the empire who are more famous than me, and temporary success or failure is nothing. The most important thing is always the people around you. ”
"There are no heroes in the world, so the erector became famous. There are a lot of people who are more famous than you, but that's also temporary. You're a bit of a fool of what you say, as things stand. Even if you want to keep a low profile, can you keep a low profile? Countless coincidences have arranged you to join this southern expedition, and you have done your best to the extreme. Do you really think that after the end of the Southern Expedition, you will still be the leader of a small plundering group?" Heinrich pouted, he used to be one of the people who despised the head of the Cao group, but the more he came into contact with the leader of this plundering group, the more he felt that this guy was definitely not an ordinary person. Heinrich even had a gut feeling that one day, the name of the big back would resound throughout the Pan-American continent.
"Those who want to soar above the nine heavens need to be able to lurk under the nine shadows. Today's low-key. Isn't it for the sake of tomorrow's wings to fly high? Persistence, foresight, vision, and courage, people with these characteristics will inevitably not be ordinary characters. No matter how much you deny it, you can't deny these characteristics yourself. Of course. I also believe that no man can refuse the call of power, not even you......" Leonardo quietly tested Captain Cao. Even if Captain Cao vigorously stated that he had no intention of becoming the king, Leonardo didn't seem to want to believe it.
"Me?" Captain Cao just shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "I'll climb up." At most, it's just a villain's ambition. If one day the power is in hand and I kill all the dogs in the world, that's all. ”
"What I'm really interested in is what kind of charm you have to bring the raiders so fearlessly. It's just a group of thousands, but in my opinion, there is nothing you or them should not dare to do. I think it's the same in the eyes of many people, you are really living a life with your life hanging by a thread. If you can, you can point me out how to create such an invincible team. In the end, it was Heinrich who made a round and diverted the topic. The more Heinrich listened to it, the more uncomfortable it became, and no matter how he said it, everyone was too sensitive to discuss the issue of power in this place as a subordinate.
Whether it is Leonardo or Captain Cao, they are all qualified to chase power, and this Heinrich will not deny it. But the thought of the already chaotic factional struggle for power in the empire gave Heinrich a headache. Fortunately, Heinrich has always been very accurate about his positioning, he is just a person in the army, he only needs to care about how to lead his team, and Heinrich is not willing to think about it. Even among the Rhine factions, Heinrich can be called an outlier. He and his brother, Heinsohn, the previous captain of the Lionhearts, took two very different paths. Heinrich would have been in politics if he had wanted to, but he has always insisted on staying in the military, and this is his choice.
"Isn't this simple? Death is left to fate, those who are afraid lose, and our raiders have always allowed themselves to live in the next moment. Thinking of those heartless bastards, Head Cao also smiled. If you want to say what Captain Cao is proud of in this world, it is probably that he has formed such a complex family. And his goal is indeed to be the head of the family. In terms of the direction of life, Captain Cao can accept everyone's differences, but he will not take the road he doesn't want to take because of Leonardo's inducement or persuasion, this is the so-called people have their own aspirations.
"It's a really exciting life. Leonardo smiled meaningfully and said no more. In fact, this is not the first time Leonardo has tested Captain Cao's thoughts, just like at the Heroes' Night Banquet, Captain Cao still did not make a clear statement, but Leonardo also felt that sooner or later he would have a certain intersection with Captain Cao on his own path.
"Okay, let's talk about how to end this unpleasant journey as soon as possible. I don't think Lord Heinrich would have been able to sleep well tonight if he hadn't gotten a definite result. Regiment Commander Cao grinned, and his eyes also looked at the company camp of the Southern Barbarian Alliance Army looming opposite.
"The outside is strong and the middle is dry, and now it's just a little bit of a breath. It only takes one battle, and he can take his place!" Heinrich nodded heavily, for this revenge battle, Heinrich had long been unable to hold back.
"Stratagem is like fruit, it takes time to brew before it matures. We've done so much preparation, and now we've pushed them to the point where they have to fight our main team. Otherwise, we're going to go straight in, which they absolutely don't want to see. As for their morale, it's almost gone. Leonardo also smiled, he didn't take the southern barbarian alliance seriously at all, even if they tried their best, it was not enough for Leonardo's pastime.
"In that case, what are we waiting for? Why not launch a general offensive yet?" Heinrich rubbed his hands excitedly, this was the first time Leonardo had answered a question about a decisive battle head-on, and Leonardo's words had almost expressed his exact attitude. Everything Heinrich wanted seemed to be at hand.
"Lord Heinrich, please be uneasy. Fighting a war is never just a matter of the battlefield. Once we have broken the alliance of the southern barbarians, what will follow?, and how will so many sensitive issues be resolved at that time?" Leonardo sighed, and continued, "And we also don't know that this land of suffering, the ants of the people, are they ready for a new ruler?"
It does not take the kindness of a woman to fight, and mercy does not lead a soldier. Leonardo is not the kind of second-rate commander who can't make decisions because of some trivial things, and being able to make him so cautious is nothing more than a series of big problems that he will face in a decisive battle.
