Chapter 42: Parting

"Abba, are you leaving tomorrow?" Dorpd asked worriedly as he put the folded clean clothes into the package.

"Yes, third sister." Aqas was sitting on the edge of the grass bed and tending to the short wooden gun he had just been dispensed with, "I heard Tesso say that I should first go to the big city to join the brigade, and then go to those villages to the east to rescue the wounded." ”

"I've heard it's dangerous out there." In the past few days, Doppd has always had some foreboding in her heart, and she actually doesn't want Akars to leave.

Akas stopped wiping his hand with the wooden gun, and after a while, he turned his head to look at his daughter and said gently: "Third sister, Abba doesn't want to leave either, but what I saw after entering the city this time made me think that I had to leave, this is for many people, including you, third sister." ”

Looking at his daughter's somewhat confused gaze, Aqas said in the same tone as he told Dopd a story a long time ago: "This time I entered the city, I met a lot of recruits, they are all like us, they are reincarnated into the mud, and in the past few days with them, I have listened to them tell a lot of their own things, and then I understand that there are so many demons in the world who eat human flesh and drink human blood, and many of these demons are much more vicious than Jika's old dog." ”

"Third sister, these demons are all on the same boat, even if the old dog dies tomorrow, another old dog will come to take his place the day after tomorrow. If we want to change our lives, we have to learn to help each other, and we have to lift all the old dogs in that boatload into the sea. It may be difficult to do this, but it doesn't matter, Abba has the strength and can still do it, and you are still young, third sister, after Abba and the brothers and sisters of the alliance drive those bloodsuckers away, it is time for you children to enjoy the happiness. Akars said as he rubbed Doppd's head.

"However, I have heard that those foreigners have also asked God to deal with us, and they have destroyed our fields by this." Doppd suddenly threw himself into his father's arms, and his voice whimpered, "Abba, I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

"Don't worry, third sister." After comforting him for a while, Aqas said, "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, those foreigners are also people, just like us, they all carry a head on their shoulders, what kind of god can they invite!" ”

Seeing that his daughter was still crying, Aqas comforted him again: "Third sister, if there is a spirit in the heavens, do you think He will bless us, or will he shield those villains who are making trouble?" Don't worry, you and Abba are blessed with a great life, and I have suffered so many tosses in this life, and I am still alive and well. ”

Dopped just cried, "Abba...... Abba......"

Akas also shed tears, "Third sister, the fields in our village are gone, this time will be very difficult, in the days when I am not there, if I encounter difficulties, I will go to Dasaha's house to find his Hun family Lariara, or go to find Tuozhen next door, I have said hello to the neighbors, you help each other on weekdays, and when Abba comes back, soon, I promise." ”

……

Early the next morning, Aqas left the village with six fellow villagers and headed for the assembly point outside Kawa.

At the same time, the League meeting of the Righteous Banner Officers' League has also begun.

Under the grim internal and external situation, many members of the officers' league openly and secretly fell to Poye, and in the meeting hall that lasted for several days, it was common to see the scene of Bitadala's supporters and Poye's supporters arguing with red faces and thick necks.

After several days of stalemate, the rebel leader Chappas, who had been silent, finally stood up and spoke out his opinion.

"Compatriots, brothers and sisters, we have no way back." As he spoke, Capas picked up a piece of letter from the table in front of him, "This is the messenger of the Batu country this morning, and it is an ultimatum that the Wei people asked the Batu people to pass on to us. ”

After hearing the word ultimatum, a bad premonition welled up in Poye's heart.

"All members of the Kawa rebels are hereby requested to renounce all scrutiny of the foreign chambers of commerce, and the government army is to be reorganized to prevent the dangers of tyrannical ideology, and the Inspector will be notified that he will arrive in Kawa on the twenty-first day of next month."

After reading these words, Cempas put down the letter with a blank face and handed him to Adecha on his right, "General Staff, show this letter to everyone, lest someone slander me and take it out of context." ”

The letter paper was quickly passed through the hands of everyone, after all, the wording on it was very short, but no one would suspect that it was forged, many members of the officer alliance had studied in Wei or other cold moon countries, and after entering Kawa City, they also seized the letters of state exchanged between the old government and the Wei State, so they would not mistake the seal on the letterhead, which was indeed the seal of the Great Wei Empire.

According to Wei's own practice, the letters of state issued to other countries only need to be stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Rites, and only a few important documents will be stamped with the emperor's seal.

Chappas stood up and said in a loud voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have never given up our efforts to ease relations with the Wei people, but they only want us to lose everything. ”

The anger in the big tent was ignited, and the people of Poya, who had been in a stalemate with Bitadara, fell silent in an instant.

After half a day of discussions, the meeting, which had been arguing for several days, finally came to an end.

……

"Your Excellency, Poye, you're back." Seeing that Poye had returned to his house, the cronies guarding the door hurriedly opened the door for him.

Before the rebels were exposed, Poye had always been the child of a merchant family in the city of Kawa, so he always had a small house of his own in the city, and after the rebels entered the city, Poye lived in the barracks for a few days and then moved back to his old home.

Poye's face was very ugly, he nodded lightly, and walked all the way back to his bedroom.

Moments later, there was a knock on his door.

"What's the matter?" Poye asked coldly.

The door was opened, and an old man walked in, holding a small plate of fruit in his hand, "Young master, this is the fresh fruit that the master asked me to bring, your face is very unsightly today, let's eat some fruit to extinguish the fire first." ”

"Uncle Doao, it turned out to be you, I'm sorry, I was so anxious when I just entered the house that I didn't notice that you were here today." Poye's tone softened a bit, but it was still very stiff, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Doao didn't answer Poye's question immediately, he looked at Poye's face carefully, and asked softly, "The young master's face is very bad these days, so he has to take care of his body." ”

Poye turned his head suspiciously and asked, "Uncle Doo, do you have something to say to me?" ”

"The lord knows that the young master is for the country and the people these days, and he is overly worried, but there are a lot of troubles at home, and the lord and his wife can't leave for a while, but the lord has recently met a new friend, who is very knowledgeable, so he thought of inviting her to come over and talk to the young master, maybe she can solve the knots in your heart." Doao said softly.

When Poye heard this, he stood up like thunder, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked, "Uncle Doao, what do you mean, what has he been doing lately?" ”

Duo Ao still said to himself: "Young master, that friend of the master is a knowledgeable and talented person, she will definitely be able to untie your knot, she will not live in the city for a long time, for the sake of the master, for yourself, for this family, for the entire Kawa City, you must cherish this opportunity!" ”

Doao spoke earnestly, and at the end of the day, he almost burst into tears.

"You...... Abba, he ......," Poya stretched out a trembling hand and pointed at the old butler.

"Young master, my master's friend lives in the inn at the entrance of the alley, if you want, I'll go and invite her over."

Poye's teeth bit his lips, sometimes loosening and sometimes tightening, and his hands were raised and lowered for a while, except for his two legs, which were as if they had been filled with lead, and did not move.

The two men just looked at each other, and after a while, Poye completely lowered his hand and sat back in his chair.

Poye didn't say anything, but Doo clearly saw that his young master nodded.

A feeling of ecstasy came to his heart, and the old housekeeper left the bedroom after leaving a sentence of "I'll invite her over."

The perception of time seemed to disappear, and Poye didn't know how long it had been before there was another knock on the door of his bedroom.

The guard guarding the door was a close confidant of Poye, so Doo brought the man in without any effort, and when the man took off his cloak, Poye closed his eyes, knowing in his heart that this moment had finally come.

The visitor was a woman, whose skin was far fairer than Poye and Do'o, proving to the two in the room that she was a Coldmoon Man.

Doao walked out with great amusement and stood guard at the door.

"You are?" Poye squeezed the words out of his throat.

"My name is Yan Mowen, and I've met General Poye." The woman said proudly, although the words were more polite, but there was no emotion in her tone.

"You don't speak Chu Ze very well, you're not from Wei?" Poye asked, confused.

"The general is a smart man, I am a steward of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce of the Bayun Kingdom in the Batu Kingdom."

"When did you come to Kawa City?"

"I've been waiting for you for most of this morning."

Po Ye stared at Yan Mowen for a while, shook his head, and said, "You can't be a simple chamber of commerce manager, I have seen a lot of businessmen, but no one has such eyes as you." You are the man of the city division of the king of Bayun...... Still is...... Wei Guoti's riders? ”

A mysterious smile finally appeared on Yan Mowen's face, and this was the first time she had smiled at someone since she entered the room.

"Your Excellency, it doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that I can show you a clear path."
