Chapter 522 [Little Age!]

"On the march?"

Governor Fritz sat silently in the courtyard.

No one knew that in such a cold weather, the old man refused to bake a fire in his room, but preferred to set up a small table in this courtyard, and then hold the stove and enjoy the snow while drinking.

If you do it for someone else, you must be crazy. However, this one was the Governor of Fritz, who was recognized as the most capable minister of the empire in the last ten years.

If he is a madman, I am afraid that the entire empire will not have a sober minister.

Fritz sighed softly, and his "on the march?" was not to ask anyone else, but to face the person sitting across from him.

This man was also an old man, with gray hair, a thin and withered body, and looked like a candle struggling in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

His whole person exuded an extremely weak aura.

But if you look at his eyes, you will find that this person's eyes are like two flames, faintly burning flames!

"Why don't you persuade him?"

As if sighing, the frail old man stretched out two fingers and gently twisted a wine glass in front of him.

The wine was just hot, and there was a hint of warmth in the throat.

"I can't persuade you. Fritz shook his head: "Young people, always ambitious. At this time, no matter what others say, it is useless, and they will not understand until they have really experienced it themselves. No matter how much you say at this time, it will only be offensive. Moreover...... His attitude was resolute. ”

When Fritz said this, he seemed to smile: "What's more, this time...... I don't think I will suffer anything. If I'm not mistaken, I'll probably take advantage of it. It can be regarded as a good deal to take the opportunity to make the army stained with some blood and practice some appearance. ”

"It's a pity that it's useless. The old man who was drinking looked grim. said lightly: "His purpose is to keep this northwest fortress, but unfortunately, it is impossible after all." ”

As he spoke, he put down his glass, pointed to the west, and said in a deep voice, "That one is not easy to deal with. He is young, but he has done something that is terrifying!"

Governor Fritz's eyes flashed: "Oh? Unexpectedly, you have come all the way and already know something?"

"I read some briefings along the way and guessed a few points. This one. The heart is so big, I don't even know what she wants to do. The old man's face was a little gloomy: "Make such a big situation, such a big game of chess...... Who the hell is she playing against?"

"The new emperor of the imperial capital, His Majesty, is not an opponent. Fritz sneered.

"Shiloh?" the old man had some disdain in his eyes: "He is a little ruthless and a little clever, but he lacks a little courage and great wisdom, when it comes to opponents...... He's far from being a match for this one in the West!"

Fritz nodded: "Yes, it was only recently that I gradually saw the situation of this game. This female doll of the tulip family is so ambitious that people are afraid of it! Pick Hilo in the east. Is she going to solve all the problems of the three parties in this northwest place at once?"

"That's why I said that Darling Chen's efforts this time were doomed to be in vain. Even if he wins this expedition. It doesn't make any sense either. If you want to scare the orcs, the idea is good, but it's a pity...... As long as the duchess wants to lure the orcs in, just spread some more random news...... The orcs suffered a loss. Will come back again!......"

The old man lowered his voice: "It's been more than a hundred years...... What is the relationship between the Tulip family and the elven clan in the north, do you really think that no one in the world knows about it? I once had a covenant with the elves. ”

Fritz raised his head and glanced at the other party: "You have said such things, I think you know something? Well, yes, you, the Minister of the Interior, always know more than others." ”

This old man is not an outsider, it is the minister in charge of the inner court next to the former emperor Marci, old Pete.

At the beginning, Chen Daolin was in the imperial capital, and the secret agreement reached with Xiluo included the release of Old Pete.

Shiloh was also single, and since he had made an agreement and admitted his account afterwards, he released old Pete and sent someone to the northwest.

Old Pete was imprisoned in the imperial capital for a year, he really suffered a lot, his body and mind were greatly traumatized, and his body was very empty.

These two people are both loyal courtiers of the former Emperor Marci, and from the standpoint, they are both absolute like-minded people, and they are also very compatible together.

Chen Daolin didn't think too much about rescuing Old Pete at the beginning, it was purely to repay the kindness of His Majesty Marci when he was alive, and he didn't want this last loyal minister of Marci to end up in a fate.

"I think ...... Things are still a little weird. ”

Governor Fritz stretched out his hand, poured himself a glass of wine, took a sip, and suddenly smiled: "Although I did not attend the meeting before the expedition a few days ago, I heard about it later...... The atmosphere was a bit odd. That chick of the Liszt family has shown a bit of courage, which is amazing!"

As he spoke, he took a deep look at old Pete.

Pete's face froze, and then he slowly smiled: "After all, I can't hide your eyes!" Governor Fritz, when the emperor was here, he said that in terms of the viciousness of vision, among all the important ministers of the empire today, you are the most!"

After a pause, Pete whispered, "Well, I'll admit it, I taught the little chick of the Liszt family to say that." ”

"Why?" said Governor Fritz, frowning, putting down his glass and staring at Pete with blazing eyes.

"Quite simply, this is an opportunity. Pete said lightly: "The strength sent by the orcs to test will not be too much, why not seize the opportunity for training troops sent by others in vain?" Although the Northwest Fortress cannot be kept after all, it can take the opportunity to train and train troops, and fight an army that has seen blood, and also add some prestige to this Lord Darling Chen, why not?"

"That's true, but it's not enough. Fritz stared at Pete coldly: "What I'm asking is, why are you doing this? That's all he had to say to him, he might not be able to listen to it, but why did he say it through the mouth of that female doll of Rodelle?"

Pete sat up straight, and in turn stared at Fritz with a stern gaze: "Old fellow, let me ask you, what do you want to do now if a person like me is still alive and refuses to die?"

"You...... Want revenge?" Fritz's voice was a little cold.

"Yes!" Pete gritted his teeth: "The death of the emperor, this blood debt, I naturally count it on Shiloh." I'm still holding on to death, in the prison of Hilo. Never willing to die...... Do you think I really don't have a chance to kill myself? Hmph! I've been running the inner court for decades! Even if he Shiloh sits on the throne, I can't help him, but I can't find a chance to die by myself? He tortures me so much, if I want to give myself a good time, do you think I really can't help it?"

"This revenge...... Should it be on Darling Chen?" Fritz sighed.

"If you were still in the East China Sea, then I would have gone to you a long time ago! With your status and strength in the East China Sea, as long as you erect a big banner and add my help, it will not be difficult to raise a crusade army. Pete shook his head: "It's a pity." At the time of the incident, you were also in the imperial capital, and you were swept away by Shiloh, and you were imprisoned for several months. Shiloh's men had already purged the province of Newhofen from top to bottom. So...... I didn't have a choice. The only one who still has a chance is Darling Chen. ”

"What about the tulip family? You didn't think about it?"

"Considered. Pete nodded seriously, and his tone was also cautious: "I was released, and I wanted to go to Tulip's house to find the duchess as soon as possible." Pity...... I watched those briefings along the way. I learned about the ...... of the past year. All the things that the duchess did, and the current situation. I'm starting to get scared!"

"Scared? Hahahahaha! You, the head of the inner court, don't know how many people you have killed in your life. How many lives have you seen, and what else are you afraid of?"

"Yes. Pete's expression was still very stern: "I can't see clearly! I can't see what the duchess is trying to do!"

Speaking of this, Pete's expression became more and more worried: "The rebellion in the Northwest Grassland, I don't need to ask, I can understand that it must be secretly connived at by Tulip himself! Otherwise, with the Tulip family running the Northwest Grassland for more than 100 years, if even a grassland king can't control it, then several generations of dukes of the Tulip family can wipe their necks and commit suicide! The invasion of the steppe people, if it wasn't for the Tulip family's secret deliberate promotion, my old Pete cut off his head and kicked you as a ball!"

Also, if I couldn't see it clearly, but when I knew that this duchess had actually vacated the Northwest Fortress...... Then if I still can't figure it out, I'll live in vain for decades!

Coupled with her attitude towards the Thor's whip of Panin's two divisions...... Hey!"

Pete's eyelids drooped suddenly: "I suddenly remembered an interesting thing from the past. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Pete pondered for a while, and said slowly: "It was about ten years ago, at that time, the former Duke Tulip was still there, one year, the old duke took this young lady to the imperial palace for a banquet, at that time, His Majesty Marci Xià had just succeeded to the throne, and needed the strong support of the Tulip family, so it was excellent for this young lady." With the dignity of His Majesty, he must call an aunt to a little girl who is less than ten years old. This is already a face-down.

After a dinner party, His Majesty occasionally heard that the young lady had recently learned to ride a horse, so he ordered the best steed from the palace to be selected as a gift for the eldest lady of the tulip family.

The eldest lady was still young at the time, and the horse was a little more violent, so she rode it several times, but she couldn't ride it.

At that time, the Duke and His Majesty Marci laughed on the side, and then asked the eldest lady, "What should you do if you can't ride this horse?"

Guess what the eldest lady answered, old man Fritz?"

Governor Fritz frowned: "What did you say?"

Pete exhaled slowly: "I remember clearly, at that time...... I stood beside His Majesty Marci and waited, and the eldest lady, thinking about it sideways, said very seriously: Since you can't ride, kill it!"

Governor Fritz didn't speak, but the hand hidden in his sleeve quietly tightened a little.

Old Pete continued: "Hearing this answer, His Majesty and the Duke looked a little surprised, and asked her why she thought so.

The eldest lady said, "Since the horse is disobedient, you should whip it." Draw until it is obedient. But since this horse is in the palace, I think that the horse master in the court should have tamed it, and he should have drawn it, but he still can't tame it, so there is nothing to say. Horses are used for people to ride, but since they can't be ridden, no matter how miraculous the horses are, they have lost their value. A thousand-mile horse that can't be ridden is not as useful as a horse that can be ridden, so it's better to kill it!"

Fritz's face was a little solemn: "Young age. Kill Decision!"

After a pause, Fritz frowned: "What happened later?"

Pete smiled bitterly: "At that time, the old duke's face was a little unsightly, and then he reprimanded the eldest lady on the spot, and said, this horse will be handed over to you, give you a hundred days, you will be responsible for taking care of this horse every day, responsible for taming this horse!"

"Oh?" Governor Fritz nodded, "It seems that the old duke also saw that this eldest lady was a little more murderous in her heart." I want to sharpen her temperament. Well, that's in line with the old duke's usual style of doing things. ”

"Yes, that's what the old duchess thinks. Pete smiled bitterly: "But what happened next made me ...... even more"

"What happened?"

"The next three months. The eldest lady of the tulip family lived in the palace, and I personally attended to her every day. This is also what His Majesty Marci asked me to do, as a sign of respect for the tulip family. For a hundred days, the eldest lady really took care of the horse herself every day. Hand feeding, washing, and taming. No tireless work. has never complained, this perseverance, even the horse masters in the court admired it very much. What a background she was, she served a beast every day, and even cleaned the stables by herself, and she didn't complain at all about the stinking horse manure.

At a young age, this heart, this perseverance, can still be so calm and calm...... It's really shocking!"

Fritz groaned for a moment and asked, "So...... This eldest lady must have tamed this fiery horse in the end?"

"......" Pete was silent for a while, and said slowly: "On the hundredth day, this eldest lady fed the horses with her own hands, then washed them, and cleaned the stables with her own hands. Just like what I had done every day for the previous ninety-nine days, I did it all meticulously. And then...... She did one thing. ”

"What?" Fritz seemed to guess something, and the corner of his eye jumped!

She ...... Draw your sword and cut off the horse's head with a single sword!"

Fritz's face froze, and he was silent for a while before he exhaled: "...... Why?"

Pete picked up the wine jug on the table, didn't use the glass, took a sip at the spout, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "I was by my side at the time, and I was already stupid to see her killing horses." Before I could react, she had cut off the horse's head and blood sprayed all over her! I ran over in fright, and then I asked her why she was doing it. Guess what she answered?"

She ...... How?"

She said, "My father asked me to take care of this horse for 100 days in order to hone my character, and I understood my father's intentions, so I did so." I did it for a hundred days without the slightest laziness, and I used what I did in these 100 days to prove to my father that I had honed my character. Since the purpose of using it to sharpen my temperament has been achieved, what are you still doing with it?"

Governor Fritz was stunned for a long time, and gasped: "Little age! Little age!!"

Pete sneered: "After Shiloh succeeded in usurping the throne, everyone said that he was tolerant, and in my opinion, he may not be as good as the eldest lady of the tulip family when she was ten years old!"

Pete, why don't you go to her?"

"I said, I can't see exactly what she's trying to do. Pete shook his head: "This game is so big, so big that I don't dare to say that I have understood her overall layout." Right now, it seems that she is desperately trying to boil all the steppe people and orcs in the northwest...... But who can guarantee that this is her true ultimate goal?"

Fritz's heart jumped: "You mean to say?"

"Hmm!" Pete nodded: "No one knows how much strength the Tulip family has hidden! If she really accomplishes this step in front of her, in the northwest, she will solve the grassland and the orcs...... At that time, what a level of prestige will her reach! It will almost be equivalent to doing what Du Wei did a hundred years ago! By that time...... What will be the prestige of this tulip duchess...... And at that time, if she took advantage of the situation and waved her army eastward......"

"You mean ......"

"Those who are ancestors do not want to be emperors, but those who are grandsons may not be interested in the throne. Pete said lightly: "She arranged the affairs on the prairie, but even His Majesty Marci hid it together! As for Shiloh...... When the time comes, will he, a usurper, really be able to compete with her?"
