Chapter 133: A Great Man Who Is Wise and Foolish
The leak of a hidden training site is no small matter, and it looks like the nightly high-level meetings will have to be held in a different place. As punishment for the leaker, this task was given to Gulf to clean up the aftermath, and he was familiar with it on the edge of the Black Forest, and it was easy to find a new location in three or two days. But he'll have to make a few trips, and he'll have to ask for the advice of old Harry to make sure the new location is safe.
At the same time as this event, of course, there was also important dance training, and according to Lieutenant Meggie, there would be big names coming down from Asaph Castle when that big day came. Maggie repeatedly asked everyone to take this matter seriously, and even deliberately set aside two precious hours in her daily training routine to specialize in waltz training.
Gulf and Gila practiced well, quickly becoming familiar with the steps and arm movements, and when spinning, they appeared to be light on their feet, even if they danced for an hour, without falling, and their expressions were more vivid, especially Gulf, who had managed to make his eyes look affectionate, or at least less like rolling his eyes. It seems that they are indeed genius-level fighters, not only can they always take the lead in improving their combat ability, but even such a difficult waltz dance cannot be difficult for them.
Owu must be giving up, because Sean still remembers the personal feud between the two of them, and says that he will not continue to be his dance partner. That left him alone during training, and he could only sit on the sidelines in a daze, ignoring the other soldiers hugging and spinning in the middle of the field.
Qi Lang did not extend a hand of friendship to Owu, because he had snatched one of the most rare dance partners, Lieutenant Mei Ji! Of course, she was just Qi Lang's dance partner in training, and to some extent, Qi Lang's solo instructor. According to Meggie's private words, Qi Lang needs to behave well in this coming-of-age ceremony. Qi Lang is the top priority, and he must not be left behind at this critical moment, and all soldiers follow his example.
Since Maggie hugs Qi Lang every day, Gulf is annoyed by this, he feels that he has been treated unfairly, and at the same time, he feels that the goddess in his mind has been desecrated by the bastard boy. He went back to look for it privately, and although the change of dance partner didn't lead to anything, when he returned to his new meeting place in the evening, he brought back shocking news.
"Do you know who that big guy is?" looked at Gurff's pockmarked face with a smug look as if he had just made another trip from Crouch's bathroom.
"It's sold again. Jira's attitude was the most cooperative of the few people, and he deliberately pondered for a moment as if he wanted to break his head, and then said with a grin, "If I have to guess, it's either the big star Scarlett, or our Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"What's that in your head?!" gulf exclaimed, "You guessed it, Prince Marcus is coming!"
"Is that something to be happy about?" Qi Lang had never heard of the name, and when he mentioned the prince, the first thing that always came to mind was the arrogant Gu Yi, who was missing an ear. The arrogant and cunning Gu Yi was certainly a very bad example, but he was impressive, and thanks to him, all Qi Lang's good feelings for the term prince were successfully ruined, and even an inexplicable hostility developed.
"Of course this is something to be happy about, buddy!" Gulf explained patiently as he sat down beside Qi Lang, "and think that if the prince himself attended this ball, it would mean that Lieutenant Colonel William would not dare to take the gift of the king's reward for himself. And...... The food must be the best, and maybe we'll be able to taste lobster for the first time in our lives. ”
"Oh. Qi Lang nodded helplessly, "This is really lucky." Congratulations Gurf, you're going to be rich again. ”
Ao Wu pouted disdainfully beside him: "Is lobster rare? I grew up eating lobster porridge, and that thing doesn't taste as good as a chicken leg burger." You're such a rare and weird hillbilly!"
In order to avoid another conflict between the two, Jira hurriedly stood between them, and then sacrificed the magic weapon to talk about politics, and successfully calmed everyone down: "Food is not the key, the king's attitude is." You should further analyze that Prince Marcus has just turned eighteen years old, which means that he will officially become the crown prince at the end of this year. It was customary for him to travel to every corner of the Luhmann Empire in order to show his royal prestige. And he arranged Shaqi Town at the first stop, which is an excellent sign!"
Regarding Jila's high-minded talk, the remaining three didn't want to continue chatting at all, so they just hummed and went to work on their own things. But Jira didn't care, he was used to the rigid brains of these brothers, and still insisted on deepening his analysis: "This shows that our Spiral Army has been taken very seriously by the king. King Henry is making overtures to the military, that is, he intends to make more contact with the main force of the military - Captain Dodim is about to gain power, and we will soon be able to come out of the way!"
"That's not next to each other at all, is it?" Gulf put down the bow and arrow in his hand and twisted his troubled face, "That's probably just Prince Marcus's own wishes, maybe he heard that our town of Shachi has the prettiest girl in the North Lelicum continent, and he came here just to choose his future princess." ”
Jira shook her head with unusually certainty: "Gulf, you shouldn't always have such a prejudice against the royal family. As I have analyzed before, King Henry is a very wise statesman, and Prince Marcus lives with him every day, and it must not be easy in the depth of his thinking. ”
Hearing this, Gulf burst out laughing, "You're really guessing, red-haired boy. I've heard people say that Marcus is a dumb boy, and some even suspect that he was born with a mental retard. ”
Gila puffed up her chest and gave Gurf her insights in a serious manner: "Gurf, you must have heard the saying, 'Seeing is believing'. He may be a little slower in his expression, but the most important trait of a politician is steady. What others say in private doesn't say anything, and it seems to me that it's malicious slander. I think it's likely that Marcus was wise and foolish, like Sergeant Ow. ”
"I don't think you're complimenting, Jira!" Owu snapped at the gesture as if he was going to transform the red-haired boy into a punching bag, and then rushed up and threw a few punches.
Qi Lang had to admit that on this point, his views were closer to those of Ouwu. The word "wise and foolish" is not appropriate for Ou Wu - it is almost the same to remove the first two words. But in order to prevent Ou Wu from losing control under his anger and causing Jila's personal accident, Qi Lang still made a thoughtful interruption and suppressed the conflict that was about to erupt: "No matter what kind of person Prince Marcus is, if he comes, will it mean that we will take on the task of guarding and even be deprived of vacation time?"
It was a terrible conjecture, and it immediately stimulated Gurf's fragile nerves, and he screamed: "My God, why didn't I think of this? No wonder Jufili had just taken a large number of spirit stones from his uncle, and he must have wanted to advance to the ranks! In this way, when the old Henry gave way to the little Henry, he would be promoted and make a fortune. Looks like we'll have to get ready, and don't let that sycophant steal the limelight. ”
It is true that Ou and Gila have each walked back to their positions and started to train harder, but their purpose is clearly different from what Gulf has said. They didn't have as many ideas as Felix, and hugging His Royal Highness the prince's thigh was simply their disdainful plan.
However, for promotion, Qi Lang attaches more importance to it. After a head-on confrontation with the Otto Empire's dragon legion, he had a deeper understanding of the strength of the opponent, especially their ironclad cavalry, which was not only well-equipped, but also quite amazing in personal combat effectiveness, and it was estimated that most of them had reached the level of intermediate warriors or above, and the 28th Wargroup of the Spiral Front Army in Qi Lang's hands was undoubtedly significantly inferior in terms of overall ability. If in the near future, when the two countries really have a formal conflict, with the fighting level of this group of rookies, there is no doubt that they will be defeated.
Seeing Gulf standing there with his lips pouted and an angry look on his face, Qi Lang walked over intimately: "Don't care about that, I know your real idea is to inspire everyone." But speaking of advancement, I've heard that Owu has probably reached the standard of a high-level warrior, how are you, Gulf?"
"Don't listen to him bragging. Gulf looked disdainful again, "I bet you, it will take at least two weeks for Owu to meet the standard." As for me, if I want to, I can probably succeed now. ”
Owu heard Gulf's teasing, and as if he were fierce, he picked up his sword on the side. It seems that Gulf is right, he is indeed a little bit short, but that threshold is not difficult for him, judging by the level of hard training he has, in less than two weeks, he will definitely become a high-level warrior soon.
The heavy sword brought a buzzing wind, which startled Jira, and he looked at Ou Wu seriously for a few moments, and then sat down beside Qi Lang with a smile: "Ou and Gulf will not disappoint you. Even if I am the most useless, in about two or three months, I will be close to the level of a high-level warrior. If you don't mind, tell us about your secrets, the secrets of your combat abilities. ”
