Chapter 1026 The Gap Is Obvious, Cross-Banks Need to Be Cautious (Four Thousand Five)
Victor has been in a bit of a gloomy mood lately, yes, because Josia is married.
Don't get me wrong, as the head of the close guard of the leader of the Gray Army, he is nearly middle-aged, has a wife and daughter, and has a harmonious and happy family, so naturally he will not have the same fantasies of admiration for Josia as those young people. Besides, because of his status and occupation, he knew a lot about Josia, and he knew very well how terrifying the man who hugged the beauty was! It is not an exaggeration to say that he dared to pry the corner of the lord's wall, and nine lives were not enough to die......
The real reason why Victor is depressed is simply because the news of the marriage came too suddenly, too hastily, and too randomly!
He remembered very clearly that it was a month ago when he left the north bank of the Lenau River with the leader Josia and walked out of the camp of the Northern Wilderness army, a somewhat silent Josia suddenly asked him casually, when was the latest good day? Victor remembered that he was a little puzzled when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he still replied honestly, and today, a month later, the days are good.
Then, the wedding date was set, and he was responsible for planning the wedding......
At that time, Victor's shock and stunned could no longer be described in words. You must know that when the time comes, Josia's status is enough to be on an equal footing with King Bran and the Empress of the Northern Wilderness. And the significance of such a character to have a big wedding can be imagined!
Fortunately, Victor has seen big scenes, and it is his job to serve the direct leader Josia. Therefore, soon after his return, he collected countless relevant materials through various channels, and convened professionals in the field again and again to discuss, argue, and overturn the ...... Ultimately. He has carefully selected several wedding plans. Confidently placed in front of Josia.
And then. And then there is no more...... Josia was stunned for a while, and directly destroyed all these plans, and then apologized to him with a smile and a request—she wanted to do it more concisely.
Although the hard work was not recognized, it was inevitable that Victor was a little frustrated, but Josia's subsequent request also made him really put his mind at ease.
As long as the leader sets the tone, it will be easy to do.
With such thoughts. Victor was once again confident in organizing the relevant personnel to discuss and argue...... Soon, he came up with a few more concise and stylish plans.
This time, Josia didn't kill them all, but she just smiled more and more bitterly, and simply asked him directly, how is the wedding of an ordinary family held?
After hearing this, Victor really understood how 'concise' Cheng dù was in Josia's mouth!
And for such a whimsical idea, Victor naturally rejected it without thinking about it.
It's not that he Victor wants to be extravagant and wasteful, in fact, he is completely thinking about Josia. The latter is now the head of a nation. She was also the first empress who broke the world. Under the shroud of such a legendary aura, some things are no longer up to her Josia alone.
Don't say anything else. Let's talk about this wedding. That is sure to record the history in detail and pass it down from generation to generation, so that it will be studied and praised by future generations.
If it is according to Josia's wishes, then when future generations check this history, they will find that the wedding scale of a generation of legendary empress Josia is not even as large as that of a rich man in the countryside...... How can you be embarrassed?!
Therefore, we should know it with emotion, move it with reason, fight with reason, and speak righteously...... Victor was foaming at the mouth, and Josia nodded his head...... And just when Victor thought that he had finally won the persuasion and dispelled the other party's unreliable ideas, and was relieved, Josia suddenly blinked and asked--wouldn't it be easier to just invite two tables of people to a meal?
......
This is a trick...... In the front yard of the original Shanhai City Lord's Mansion, looking at the wedding scene planned and arranged by himself in front of him, the wooden tables and chairs that were only moved by a few people, and not even a red carpet, Victor couldn't help but sigh and resent.
At this moment, "Yo, good chief." "Chief, you're here......" "Happy newlywed, ...... Chief"
In the midst of laughter and blessings, Victor turned his head and saw Josia, dressed in a plain robe, walking into the outer courtyard with a smile, nodding in return in the crowd, and was in a very good mood...... His face suddenly darkened, and he strode over, waving his hand to disperse, "What are you doing here? You, go outside and keep watch...... Cheer me up, I'll ask you if I have a little problem today!"
"Hehe, Victor, don't be nervous. It's just getting married, it's not a big deal. Looking at the dark-faced Victor, and then looking at the crowd around him that was instantly scattered, Josia didn't have any consciousness of being a party at all, and shook his head and persuaded helplessly.
I don't want her to say it's okay, but as soon as I say Victor, I instantly become angry. Without this, what does it mean to be 'just, to get married?' what does it mean to 'no, what, what, big, no?' Victor only felt infinite sorrow for himself for a while, and there was a kind of grievance and depression similar to the emperor's impatience and the death of a eunuch......
He took a deep breath and exhaled again, "Chief, it's time for you to change your clothes...... I won't talk about the wedding scene or anything, and I can't talk about you. But no matter how simple it is, you have to wear a wedding dress, right?"
"Wear it, wear it now. Knowing that the middle-aged simple man in front of him was almost patient to the extreme, Josia immediately nodded his head when he heard this, and as he spoke, he was about to retreat, "Did the old marshal Omon send someone to invite him? ”
"Good...... That's right, the chief. Victor suddenly thought of something, and said, "Old Mai just sent someone to send a message to attend the wedding, you see...... Do you want to add a place?"
"Mai Lao?" Josia was stunned, and then couldn't help frowning slightly. As the veteran in the tavern said earlier, this wedding is really low-key to the extreme, and several of Donn's brothers and friends, Josia's elder family, adding up to only more than twenty people, will sit down at two tables. For example, Mai Lao and other high-level officials had greeted each other before, and they were not invited, and there were no seats at all...... Hesitantly shook his head. "It's not good to add another place. Otherwise, it's hard for others to explain ......."
"Mai Lao is coming. He must have wanted to intercede for his grandson, who had been hurting people in the city a few days ago. ”
"Then it's back, no please!" Hearing this, Josia's brows furrowed even more, and without hesitation, she waved her hand directly and refused, displeased and reprimanded, "If there is such a thing in the future, I will block it." We are the Grey Army. Not the decaying Bran Empire...... Even if it will become rotten in the future, it must not be in my hands!"
"Yes!" Victor's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, and he solemnly answered the order.
Raising his hand, "Alright, I'll go find Donne." You're busy, you've worked hard......"
......
In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, when Josia came to him, Don, who was dressed in a serious attire, was explaining something to Harry in the courtyard, and then when he raised his eyes and saw Josia walking in with a smile, the words were immediately stunned. He waved his hand perfunctorily and made a summary.
"Let's leave it at that, keep an eye on the spot. ”
"Okay, Boss. Harry nodded in response, then turned around and saw Josia with a flattering smile on his face, "I've met my sister-in-law, it's a great joy today, Harry is here to wish you a hundred years of marriage, and then add a little boss to us as soon as possible." Haha......"
"Little boss......" Josia chuckled meaningfully, "isn't that already there?"
"No, oh, it's a girl over there...... Ahem...... "As soon as the words came out, Hari Khan came down. Nima is finished, this cheap mouth......
That's right, after escaping from the temple headquarters, Charvien soon gave birth to a baby, a girl, and a mother and daughter safely.
Such a happy event is naturally worth celebrating, but even Donne, who is a first-time father and overjoyed, usually does not dare to show it in front of Josia, and after mentioning it unintentionally, he quickly changed the topic with haha. But he never thought that on this special day, Harry would actually say something out of his mouth......
Looking at Josia, whose expression instantly darkened when he heard this, Don stroked his forehead with his hand, and wanted to strangle Harry, the unlucky child, immediately. The latter undoubtedly felt this resentment and killing intent, and he didn't dare to raise his head, saying that he still had something to do, and the wolf bèi fled.
"It's a girl, do you have a name?" After just a short breath, Josia adjusted her demeanor and approached Don En as if she didn't care, "By the way, you just said to pay attention to the staring point...... What are you staring at? Could it be that the one who is not in good health after giving birth? Oh, it's okay, if you're in a hurry, you can go over and take a look, I don't care......" spread out his hands, and he was extremely generous. But
Hehe, believe in you and I will live in vain in this life...... Tang En touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I misunderstood, it's not her ......"
"It's not her?" ......Josia suddenly stroked his palm, as if he really understood, "I just heard, and for some reason, since the early hours of this morning, that person has been on the front line, personally leading hundreds of thousands of tribal armies, constantly storming the waterway checkpoint of the Bramlenau River, like crazy, and has not stopped for a moment...... Are you caring about her?"
"......" Tang En's bitter smile was a little stiff, and he unconsciously raised his hand to buckle his sideburns, "Well, let's talk about the topic just now." ”
"What was the topic?" Josia frowned, "The one who just gave birth?"
"Whew...... You're really mistaken, it's not her who I asked Harry to star. With a long breath of turbidity, Don felt that he was about to cry, and quickly explained, "It's our old acquaintance, and it's your best friend and old friend." ”
"My best friend?" Josia pointed at herself in confusion, her face full of inexplicability.
Don nodded: "Well, from Laiyan City...... Hehe, I haven't heard this place name for a long time, think about that time, knowing you there, it's really worth remembering. ”
"Lai Yan City...... Best friend...... old friend" Just a little muttered, Josia's eyes lit up, "Becky, it's Becky, right?" Don smiled again and nodded in surprise, "It's really her! Haha, she's here too! When did you come?" Why didn't you come to me......"
"I came here a few days ago, and I've been staying in Shanhai City. Don smiled and spread his hands, "I guess I want to find a suitable time to bless us." ”
"Really? Where is she now? I'll look for ...... Huh?" After a pause, looking up at the faint smile that had been hanging on the corner of Donn's mouth, Josia's voice couldn't help but gradually decrease, blinking inexplicably. Not many people are fools, at least not Josia. After the initial surprise, some memories of the past came flooding back,
"I remember...... Betsy's brother, Bewen, died at your hands......"
"Remember? Don shrugged, "But it's more accurate to say that it's the two older brothers, and the bass." Although he committed suicide, the handle of the knife was indeed in my hand at the time. ”
"That Becky is here to ...... this time" Seeing Don En spread his hands again with some helplessness, it goes without saying that Josia's expression suddenly changed, and he said urgently, "But at that time, there was a reason, and it was clear that Na Bewen wanted to be unfavorable to you first, and then injured your friend, so you fought back and killed him...... No, I'm going to find that stupid girl right now and stop her from doing anything stupid. ”
"Heh, don't always look at people with old eyes, she's not stupid now. Grabbing Josia, who was about to turn around and leave, Don shook his head with a smile and reassured, "I also learned after receiving the intelligence information, she is not a pampered aristocratic lady now, but a strong business woman who relies on the family to support her, and she has a great future." Well, let's take the matter now......"
"I just said that she has been in Shanhai City for several days, do you know what she has been doing all this time......? First inquired about the news of our marriage, and then decided to act, the first person to contact was Orbus, that is, the younger brother of your second uncle's family, pretending to meet by chance in another country, and then let Orbus take her into the city lord's mansion, where we got married, familiar with the terrain......"
"Why...... Orbus never mentioned this to me?" Josia frowned, thinking of something, and his expression gradually became difficult to see.
Tang En was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then he couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to smooth the hills between his eyebrows: "It's not as strict as you think, and Orbus doesn't mean to collude with outsiders to harm my brother-in-law." Actually, it's just an excuse. For Becky, who is now traveling from south to north, it is not too simple to fool the stupid boy of Orbus. For example, she said she wanted to surprise you, so she asked Orbus to keep it a secret for the time being...... It's easy, isn't it?"
"No wonder he was talking to me the other day, I thought he had made a mistake and didn't dare let me know...... This silly boy!" Josia also remembered the relevant memories at this time, and couldn't help but be angry and funny.
"Ha, it's a good thing that my brother-in-law is stupid...... Ahem, let's get down to business. With the help of Orbus, a silly boy, Betsy has been in and out of the City Lord's Mansion several times, and she has a basic understanding of the situation here. After the preliminary work such as gathering intelligence and familiarizing yourself with the terrain is completed, the next step is to choose the timing and method of doing it. Needless to say, the timing must have been lost today. Well, watching your enemy make a big mistake when you are most proud, that picture, it's enjoyable to think about it......"
Close your eyes, open your arms slightly, and empathize with the illusion of breathing. Don's expression at this time was a little excited and a little perverted in Josia's eyes...... Is this an occupational disease?
"I really didn't see it, the big-chested and brainless eighth woman in the past would have the talent to become my peer, and you can't look ......good when you are a real person," he shook his head with emotion, "As for the choice of assassination method, I guess it was poisoning." Well, if you succeed, there is also the possibility of making up for more than a dozen knives to take revenge and vent your anger. ”
"How to deduce?" In fact, what Josia wanted to ask Don En more was, seeing that you were so calm and natural, are you sure you know that the person who may be stabbed more than a dozen times is yourself?
"It's a very simple inference, it's not that I'm boasting, but with my current reputation for the mainland's famous and notorious achievements, she should know that she can't have any hope of success other than poisoning. And it is noteworthy, and somewhat admirable, that all of the above actions are done by her alone, without helpers. Well, probably because she was worried about not getting approval, so she didn't trust the family guards she brought. In this way, she has low strength and wants to take revenge, so she only has poison left to leave. But ......"
After a pause, he shook his head, "Although there is no possibility of infighting being exposed when she acts alone, she has repeatedly shown her head, and she naturally entered the eyes of the thin monkey, and this is how she was discovered...... Therefore, a professional is a professional, and a halfway monk is a halfway monk. The gap is obvious, and we need to be cautious across banks......"
