Chapter 557: Pull a Hair and Move the Whole Body!(Five Thousand)
PS: Bow down and thank the book friend "Shadow Sniper" for the tip!
At the same time, there was also an impromptu discussion going on somewhere. However, at this time, the meeting had ended, the wooden door of the simple hut was opened, and a crowd of people came out in twos and threes, with relaxed expressions and greetings with laughter......
"Haha, Minister Bosko, thanks to your discernment this time, otherwise we might have fallen for those greedy guys!"
"It's ridiculous, I just think about it occasionally......"
"Well, Minister Bosko, don't be humble anymore. Is it once in a while, twice, three times, or not?"
"Yes, those greedy fellows of the new aristocracy, although they are now in partnership with us, have not fallen behind the means of stabbing in the back...... Hmph, every time you want us to be cannon fodder for the battle, do you really think everyone is stupid?"
"Good thing we have Minister Bosco, oh no, it's Senator Bosco......"
"Uh, see the smile, see the smile......"
......
The slightly admiring and flattering conversation and laughter continued, and the object of everyone's praise, that is, the curly-haired old man standing in the crowd, waved his hand from time to time, his demeanor was modest, his posture was peaceful, and he was in the demeanor of a low-key wise man.
After greeting for a while, only a middle-aged man hurriedly arrived, standing on the periphery and looking at the curly-haired old man with an anxious expression, and then everyone saluted politely and said goodbye.
"A few days ago, a new tavern opened in the east of the city, and I heard that the rum there is an ancestral brew with a unique taste...... Minister Bosko, how about we find time to have a drink together? I'm just here to ask for something......
"Oh, ancestral brewing, that's really thanks to you, I'm going to try it. ”
"Haha, that's it. I'll send someone to inform you of the specific time. ”
"Good. Then you're welcome. haha......”
......
Daxiao's voice, with a cordial expression, said goodbye to this zuihou alone, Bosko smiled on his face, and turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who had been waiting aside.
The latter stepped forward, probably one of his own family, and reported with a salute: "Master, Enoch and Young Master Borg are back, and they are anxious to see you." ”
"Huh?" Bosco was slightly stunned when he heard this. Then he frowned, and his face was a little dark, "Borg...... Hmph, this idiot, do you dare to come back at last?"
What happened to Borg on the front line, Bosko naturally heard about it. Although it is impossible to fully understand the specific causes and consequences, it is an indisputable fact that Borg and Mi Xiu did it and were sent back as a result.
In this way, Bosko is undoubtedly angry at Borg's extremely irrational self-destructive behavior. Arguably. If it hadn't been for Enoch at that time, he would have intercepted Borg halfway and taken him to Mountain Creek City. In his rage, Bosko had to teach Borg a good lesson.
But now that days had passed, Bosco's anger at the news of Borg's return, but he had managed to suppress his anger. waved his hand, didn't think much about it, and walked towards the family residence...... In a hurry to see me, he invited Enoch back, is this because he is afraid that I will do it? Hmph......!
Thinking like this, Bosko couldn't help but be a little angry with Borg, the sole heir, but these little anger were quickly covered by the good mood just now.
Yes, Bosko has been in a good mood since he received his status as a member of parliament a few months ago! This feeling of pleasure is even stronger and more exciting than the greatest achievement of his life, which is to propelle his family from baron to viscount by smuggling interests more than ten years ago!
This kind of excitement that I can't control my emotions is not only because of surpassing my previous status, but also because of the heavy sense of accomplishment in my heart.
Since the family was reported and purged, although because of the decisive escape, the clan basically did not suffer any casualties. But the confusion about the unknown future, and the gap from a noble nobleman to an unacceptable wanted criminal, still inevitably made everyone in the clan panic all day. It was at that time that he overrode public opinion and chose to join the Gray Army.
To be honest, the main reason why Bosco made this decision in the first place was because he was desperate, and the rest was just a little unwilling, unwilling to let the family fall apart in his hands for hundreds of years, and the clan was scattered everywhere, hiding incognito everywhere - this is the biggest insult to the glory of the family!
Fortunately, there was no such situation after that, and after joining the Gray Army, the family was temporarily intact. And he, the former Viscount of Bosco, has also become the small leader of the rebel pariahs that he despised in a very short time...... Although this promotion is a little faster, it is not unexpected. It's just a bit ironic......
Losha was a sensible man, and knew that he was much more useful than civilians who had just thrown away their farming tools and picked up knives, and only knew how to fight and kill. What's more, there is a complete viscount family behind him, although he was chased as a lost dog, but the background is still there, and there is no shortage of talents in all aspects. As long as Luo Sha wants to make the Gray Army bigger, then the role of his family cannot be ignored!
In fact, soon, under the ruthless or flexible means, one credit after another came to ...... The hardships and hardships and the blood price paid by the family for this are not known to outsiders, and there is no need to tell them in detail. Because these sacrifices were worth it, the family finally gained a firm foothold in the Gray Army, and was gradually recognized and respected by those civilians, and his status also rose, becoming one of the high-ranking positions second only to Luo Sha!
Of course, the identity has changed from the small leader of the rebel team to the big leader of the rebel team, which is really nothing to show off. To be honest, Bosko at that time thought about betrayal.
Although this idea is a bit shameless, it is actually reasonable. Bosko, who has been immersed in aristocratic circles all his life, does not think that just by staying here for a while, he will have a sense of belonging to the rebel group of the Gray Army. What he yearns for is still the decent identity that stands in the sun.
And with his status at that time, he was enough to contact all aspects of the Gray Army, and he still had the bargaining chips for betrayal in his hands. I believe that the Bran royal court should still hate him, an insignificant smuggling nobleman, as much as the Gray Army, a group that gives them headaches from time to time!
But after thinking about it all night, he finally resisted the temptation. Because he felt that the potential of the Grey Army had not yet been fully tapped. Or rather. It's not enough to make the Bran Empire even more of a headache! Just like a commodity, it would be unwise to rush into action before its value has been fully realized.
Next, the sudden change of the gray army undoubtedly proved his point of view, and even greatly exceeded his expectations!
First, he took hostages and forced people from Brandu to negotiate, and there was a small episode in which the nobles of the capital invited him to tea. and promised to betray him on the condition of restoring his viscountship. At that time, Bosko chose to simply refuse, because his vision had become far-sighted at that time, and this episode undoubtedly reassured him!
From that point on, he was convinced that he did have a good hand in his hand......
Later, the Gray Army ushered in an unprecedented period of great development. The number of people who took refuge in front of them continued to surge, and the framework of all aspects was gradually improved, and they even had their own base camp and built a majestic city!
It's changing with each passing day. Let him be a little dazzled, vaguely. He saw a shortcut to the pinnacle of the family's glory without betraying or relying on the Bran royal court!
Sure enough, after two successive battles, under the Dawning City, they destroyed the Bran army that came to attack, and became famous!
At that time, Bosko was convinced that it turned out that their current Liliang could not only give the Bran Empire a headache, but also really hurt this behemoth!
The merchandise has become a peerless blade, or is it the kind that can be upgraded...... The surprise brought to Bosco by such a huge gap can be imagined, and the identity of the parliamentarian brought about by the negotiations between the two sides made Bosco feel like he was sitting at home and gold coins were falling from the sky.
Of the three councillors, Losha must occupy one, and the other two, with the family's previous merits and Bosco's decision to support Losha not to attack the city of Bran during the critical period, finally successfully obtained one.
Member of Parliament, huh...... Although it has been a long time since he was blocked, Bosko still feels extremely dreamy and excited when he thinks about it now. Such a lofty position, not to mention the current one, even the previous viscount status is also unimaginable! There are countless great nobles of the Bran Empire, hundreds of ancient families, and so on, but how many can get this identity?
It's finally time to get out......
......
Above, this can be called a legendary experience. Let's not talk about the evaluation for the time being, let's just say that Bosco has come all the way with the bloody wind of the family, and he is indeed qualified to enjoy the heavy sense of accomplishment in his heart, and he is proud of it!
Of course, this is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go. However, Bosco is now very confident, and his heart is also eager to bring the family to the peak of glory in his twilight years, so that future generations can admire him!
This is not a false statement, but a tangible target, and it is the Grey Army itself that provides the ladder to the top. It is no exaggeration to say that the gray army is now inseparable from him Bosco! Just like ......
Members of the parliament have the right to vote on major matters of the empire, and because of the special status of the gray army, it is naturally impossible for them to go to the imperial capital to vote, which is an act of sending sheep into the tiger's mouth. Therefore, whenever there is a major matter that needs to be discussed, the capital will send people to deliver the relevant documents and materials here, and then they will make resolutions and votes.
To this end, the Imperial Magicians Guild has set up a remote teleportation array in the cities around the 100,000 Great Mountains. Oh, as an aside, originally according to Bran's meaning, they wanted to build this teleportation array in Dawning City, but Luo Sha didn't agree, and the reason for this naturally everyone understands......
To get back to the point, since there is something to convey, the high-level of the Gray Army naturally wants to discuss it. Of course, in the first few votes, Luo Sha and the others all echoed the suggestions passed by the new nobles, and they almost followed the trend.
This is certainly not to say that they have deviated from the purpose of the Grey Army and are in the same league as the nobles. It's all the high-level leaders, including Luo Sha, who don't know how to start for a while when they first come into contact with these things that represent intertwined and many interests behind them. I can only go along with the vote and study these things carefully, which can be regarded as a state of learning.
And this is the limitation of civilian groups like the Gray Coats. Most of the people in the upper echelons can basically stir up the blood of tens of millions of civilian soldiers with simple and crude words, but they can't even read smoothly in the face of official words on luxurious parchment that can make a few turns. I can only stare dryly and be in a hurry.
And when the literal meaning cannot be understood. Naturally, it is impossible to clarify the intricate interests behind it. And what constructive suggestions to put forward - this status quo, which is determined by their background, is almost an insurmountable chasm!
Among them, Luo Sha's situation is better, she is from a noble family, and she knows more or less the tricks in the aristocratic circle. And more importantly, the practical management experience of leading the team all year round is enough to make her sensitive to avoid some traps and face the essence of the problem even if she can't understand it for a while.
But alas. She's just a person. There is an infinite amount of manpower, and she can't do it while sorting out the trivial and detailed data, while considering the meaning behind each detail, and at the same time making accurate decisions...... The task was too large for her companions, who had previously only tended the vegetable garden and the flock, to help her.
At this time, the role of Bosco is undoubtedly infinitely magnified. In any case, he is also a viscount, the head of a family, and has been immersed in the aristocratic circle for many years, although Bosko cannot do a complete job of mastering these familiar words and things, his perennial experience is enough to translate this official discourse into the vernacular to the greatest extent. and the interests of the parties represented behind the remarks.
Of course, this move was unanimously appreciated by those high-level officials who were so desperate for this thing, so. This is where the flattery after the meeting just now took place.
To be honest, Bosco looks down on these high-level leaders, before and still is. The entire gray army, and Luo Sha, will make him a little jealous.
But Losha ...... Unhurriedly, Bosco's old eyes narrowed slightly, and he shook his head slightly.
He was still not optimistic about the future of the Grey Army, because he knew too well the methods of those great nobles. Even the new nobles Shili, who are now closely connected, are politely treated because the current gray army is still valuable to them, but they are still contemptuous in nature. The fundamental contradictions between the two sides have not been eliminated, and this will one day erupt......
But what does all this have to do with me?
The possibility of conflict is still far away, and he has already been settled. When the matter on the side of the Gray Army is dealt with, he will cast his eyes on the upper level of Bran. As a member of parliament, he is basically unimpeded wherever he goes. With this foundation, it was only a matter of time before he compiled a network of relationships that belonged to him, and then slowly bleached his family's identity as a gray army and officially entered the upper echelons of Bran......
Hehe, everything is ready, there is a lot to be done!
......
......
When Bosko was faintly arrogant with a bittersweet mind, and then he was full of ambition to do a big job, he didn't know his destination, that is, a person in the family house, who threw his good intentions to the ground, and jumped up and stepped on it a few times until it shattered into pieces......
"Remember, no matter what the eldest brother reacts after listening to it, even if he beats you, you are not allowed to defend a word, just kneel here and bow your head...... Don't worry, with the third uncle here, you can't die, as for the rest...... Alas, the third uncle can only help you so much......"
In the hall, Enoch walked around with an anxious expression, remembering something from time to time, and immediately confessed to Borg, who was kneeling in the center of the hall.
"Yes, Third Uncle. But ......" Borg, who looked stunned, nodded subconsciously when he heard this, and then grabbed his hair with an innocent and tangled face, "What the hell is this weishenme?"
A few days ago, after he was satisfied with the intention of drinking and explaining what he had done to his third uncle Enoch, he saw Enoch stunned in place for a while, and then came back to his senses and dragged him into the carriage with an iron face, without saying anything, he left the city overnight and went straight to Dawn City.
Halfway through, Enoch went out to run some errands, while he was guarded by several of the family's masters in the carriage, and they didn't see each other again until outside Dawn. For a few days, Borg was brought here without any explanation, and then knelt down and listened to the bitter instructions...... Well, he's very helpless and innocent, what's the situation?
"Don't ask!" Enoch roared loudly, Enoch waved his arms, his expression was slightly hideous, and then he leaned down in front of Borg like a deflated ball, licked his dry lips, and smiled bitterly, "You're in trouble this time." ”
"Catastrophe?, just because I revealed Donn's portrait and identity to the Temple of Light?" Borg's more he listened, the more confused he became, looking at the third uncle in front of him who was full of bitterness and could even squeeze out salt, and cautiously probed, "Are you worried about retribution? Gray Space? Or the leader of Losha...... Don't worry, my nephew is not so stupid, the painter who painted the portrait has been killed by me, and the person who delivered the message is a child, and it is handled cleanly, leaving no traces. ”
"Don N Don Don ...... Do you only have Don in your eyes?" Rubbing his forehead, Enoch sighed helplessly, "Well, we are actually to blame for this, and we didn't tell you the details...... Do you think that Don En is going to kill the people of the Temple of Light, and my eldest brother and I don't know?"
"Uh......"
"We already knew, and so did everyone else, including Losha. Let's put it this way, although Don didn't say it openly, judging from the information that he casually revealed several times when he was cunning and cautious by nature, he didn't mean to hide it at all. Because, if we can't stop him, then we can only help him hide it. ”
"Why, weishenme?"
"Because the Temple of Light can't be provoked, especially our Grey Army, we can't be caught by any big handles...... The reasons for this are very complicated, and the eldest brother should be clear, but I just don't understand it and can't understand it. All in all......"
After a pause, Enoch looked at Borg, whose face was gradually becoming a little frightened, shook his head and sighed: "You think you just framed Don this time, but in fact, you dragged our family and the entire Gray Army into the water!"
In the hall of silence, soft sighs echoed slowly until they disappeared. Borg's body collapsed on the ground, trembling slightly, and his face turned pale.
After a moment, a crying voice sounded, "Third uncle, save me......"
............ (To be continued......)
