After the Legend Chapter 115: Disputes and introspection
Mint and Jada looked at each other, smiled, and listened intently to the conversation next door
The discussion at the adjacent table is still continuing. The man sitting opposite the man hurriedly looked around, forcibly pulled him back to the wooden chair, and shouted in a low voice: "Are you crazy?! This is what you should say. What do you mean? If you are reported, you will go to jail, maybe even be executed!"
The man gradually calmed down, but his attitude was still resentful: "The weather is good this year, and the harvest will be good in a few months. As a result, half of the grain needs to be delivered to the public warehouse. Where do you tell me to find it? Food?! Now that the price of food is high, how can I feed an old family with just this amount of food?!”
The third man sitting next to him gave him a disdainful look: "This is hard work? I really don't know!" He motioned for his two friends to come closer, then leaned his head and whispered: "These few The country has been accumulating food, hay, horses, irons, etc., didn't you guess?"
"Guess what?" The two men were confused
The third man rolled their eyes at them and said mysteriously: "I listened to my grandfather, he listened to his grandfather's grandfather... In short, it was passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors. That's how he collected military supplies when Emperor Kodimus launched the Continental War."
The other two took a deep breath, and one of them stepped up and asked, "You mean... there's going to be a war? Then will we be arrested and used as soldiers..." Stupid stuff! The third man gave his companions another glance, "What's the point of suffering now?" Think about it, as long as the prosperous places in the south are shot down, there will be as much grain as you want, and all kinds of delicious meat, wine, pretty clothes, pretty girls... We can have as much as we want! "
The other two heard all four eyes glowing: "That's awesome..." The one who was still cursing just now clenched his fists: "Okay! As long as I can enjoy the treasured beauty of the South, I will Tighten your trousers and keep it up for a few years!" The other person enthusiastically talked about which country's food is delicious, the wine is well-brewed, and which country's land is fertile, and he wants to grab a few more plots of land...
Mintel was very uncomfortable listening to it on the sidelines. These Nuojia people are really not good things. They just want to rob other countries' property. Don't they know that they work hard to create?
He turned his head angrily and stuffed the boiled noodles into his mouth, feeling more and more like chewing wax, but heard Jada whispering next to him: "It seems that ordinary people also know that many policies are promulgated by Prince Mario and can't be blamed. Your Majesty, in order to satisfy his own wishes, the prince has left the people's survival behind, and everyone will soon discover his true face, we must seize the opportunity to weaken his power!" Shade nodded should be
Mint glared at them angrily, and Jada felt a little strange: "What's the matter, Mint?"
Mint endured and couldn't help but said, "You don't think war is a big deal, do you? After listening to those people's words, you only thought about how to deal with Prince Mario! But have you ever thought about it? How many people will die when the war breaks out? The place where the war is fought will be your citizens, and many of your citizens will die, don't you think about this at all?! As a country's high-ranking person, if you only focus on the power struggle but throw away the interests of the people, then you will be with you. What's the difference between Prince Mario?!"
Jada looked at Mint with awe and Mint stared at him uncompromisingly. The atmosphere became a little dignified for a while. Junia stared at Mint angrily and looked at her fiancé with a full face
Xie De suddenly said: "You are just the potionist invited by Your Excellency, and you are not qualified to speak to Your Excellency in such a tone! This is the affairs of the ministers, don't forget your identity!"
Mint sneered and retracted his gaze: "I see." After that, he ignored the three of them and ate and waited for everyone to finish their breakfast. When they were back on the road, he found that he seemed to be left out, although Jada didn't say anything. His attitude is still mild, but both Junia and Shedd are very repulsive to him
He sneered in his heart, but felt a little regretful that he had nothing to say. What was he doing? Ao Nuojia was to him that the rulers of the enemy country fought with each other regardless of the interests of the people and dragged down the country, wasn't it just right? Now that Jada is angry, if it affects the mission, it will not be good. He secretly made up his mind that he will never talk more in the future, and let those people fight for themselves!
There was nothing to say all the way, and Minte pretended to be dumb not to provoke the other three, so they were at peace with each other. When he stopped to rest at noon, he specially found a tree that was far away and sat in the shade to eat dry food Jada but came to him suddenly
He folded, slowly got up and saluted: "What's the matter with you?"
"Don't be so polite" Jada waved his hand and sat on the ground next to him without hesitation, motioning him to sit down too, "I thought about what you said in the morning, I thought about it carefully, and I want to thank you for reminding me"
Mint sat slowly one meter away from him: "You mean..."
"In the past few years, in order to maintain the authority of His Majesty the King, I have been fighting against Prince Mario. After a long time, I only remembered to fight for power and profit, but I forgot the original intention of the fight The duke, who owns his own territorial castle and property, took this road entirely because he felt that Prince Mario and Prince Lawler were not competent kings, and they would stand by the king for the benefit of the country and the people. Thinking of it, I would also get lost in the whirlpool of power, forgetting that the interests of the people are the most important."
After Jada finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Minte, and said solemnly: "My subordinates may have admired me too much, and they would never use such a tone to remind me to persuade me, or even think that My thoughts and decisions are correct, so I have never noticed that my heart has changed, and I have gradually become a person like Prince Mario and his son. Thank you for reminding me that it should not be too late to change now. ?You come from another country, you have a completely different perspective, you have brains and insights, you can bring us new thinking, and you will not condone my mistakes, so you can continue to hear your advice in the future if you find me I did it wrong again, please remind me again"
Mintel suddenly felt a touch of emotion in his heart. The person in front of him, who has a noble status and holds power, can deal with criticism from others rationally and modestly, and seriously reflect on his own mistakes. It is really rare. Maybe he is really a Good ruler, right?
As soon as the idea arose, he immediately became vigilant, and secretly warned himself not to be confused by Jada. After all, the other party and himself are hostile identities. As long as Nuojia still thinks about attacking East and other countries, they will will never be true friends
He pretended to be moved and said "sincerely": "Please don't say that I was too reckless in the morning, probably because as soon as I heard that there was going to be a war, I remembered the information leaked by Prince Mario. , my hometown is also in his attack plan, so I am very excited. I saw that you didn't deny the news of the war, so I made a slip of the tongue. You not only forgive me for being rude, but also trust me. How can I thank you, please don't worry, I will never forget my responsibilities." While saying this, I carefully observed the other party's reaction
"That's good. Let's work together in the future to strive for a better future for this country and ourselves." Jada smiled with satisfaction and patted Minte on the shoulder affectionately, and then called back to Junia and Xie. De: "This is the end of the matter. You should also get along well with Minte in the future, you know?"
Junia bit her lip and didn't speak, but she still looked at Mint with some dissatisfaction in her eyes, but Shade just took a deep look at Mint, then bowed her head and bowed to Jada: "Yes, Your Excellency"
Mintel smiled in return, but there was a hint of awe in her heart
Jada did not deny that war plan
After the break, they went back on the road, probably because it wouldn't take long to reach Nomonka, the three of them were in a relaxed and happy mood, and the speed of the road was much faster than before
The villages and towns passing by this way are much more lively than those before. Although they are not as prosperous as the cities in Shaonan East and other countries, they are no longer as prosperous as Monrianke and other places. Businessmen and customers come and go. There is a continuous stream, and there is no depression at all
When Minte came to Nuoja with his grandfather when he was a child, he had to avoid crowded towns because he had been in hiding and fleeing since he left Nuomonca, so he never visited these places, but he noticed that, These merchants are all from Nuojia, but the decoration of some shops unexpectedly has the color style of Weisha Shaonan and East, and these shops are all a few years old without exception. He guessed that these shops were probably the same year Left behind by the expelled foreign businessmen, although the market seems to be prosperous now, it always makes people feel as if something is missing
Jada seemed to relax a lot, and Junia kept talking and laughing. Although she was still wearing a hooded cloak, people's eyes were still attracted by her laughter, which made Mint look sideways. I don't even think about it, and even occasionally interject a few words
In the evening, Jada went into the city without Junia speaking, and sent Scheide to contact the city's chief official, and ate dinner at the official's villa, although it was not as luxurious as the palace , but the cleaning is very delicate, and the taste of the food is also very good. Compared with the general high-end inn, it is not a little bit better
Junia was very satisfied, especially when she saw that the official sent a few clever maids to wash her up
Mintel thinks it's a little strange, isn't Jada afraid of the news leaking all of a sudden? He guessed that the official was probably a member of the Jada faction, so he secretly wrote down his name and address, and also noticed that this official was actually quite secretive, and he specially used an opaque carriage to transport them on the road. When meeting an acquaintance, he also lied about the reason for his trip
In this way, Jada's recruitment of coconuts is only aimed at this official
At night, the official sent a carriage and a trusted **** to guard them north, and Mintel got the correct answer from Jada
It turned out that this official was not Jada's person, but was loyal to the king. Now King Gal II is using Jada's nephew more and more, so his cronies have gradually tended to Jada. The reason why the latter specially Contacting the official was actually just to secretly deliver a message to the king that he had returned and that Xiao could be summoned as soon as possible
Before Jada left Normonka, he was fined and grounded for certain things, and he could not leave his residence in a fair manner. Therefore, in order to report something to his uncle Gal II, he must be summoned to him
Jada and his party rushed back to their castle overnight, a small fort on the outskirts of Normon Cassi, trying to get home before dawn, and then appear before the king's envoy in the morning to show the outside world that he never left
Mintel and others were sitting in the carriage, heading towards the western suburbs of Normonka. It was pitch black outside the window~IndoMTL.com~ Occasionally, in the moonlight, you could see the rolling peak lines, but in reality, it was impossible to estimate Where they were, he had to force himself to remember the shape of the mountains and the position of the moon in the sky, so as to guess where he was heading
At dawn, they finally reached their destination and drove directly into the gate of the castle. As soon as Minter jumped out of the car, he quickly glanced around and saw a lot of blackness around him, but judging from the terrain, soil and vegetation, Probably half way up the hill
They are located in the main courtyard of Jada Castle. The courtyard is huge and square, surrounded by three-story buildings, built of dark gray stone, square in shape, unpretentious, and looks It's a bit old to go up. There is a thick stone wall four or five meters high around the castle. There are still reconnaissance holes and other things on it. There are flags on the wall, and eagle-headed lion-body winged beasts are painted on them, but there is an extra circle of embroidery. Laurel patterned guards stand guard on the wall, but turn a blind eye to the carriage under the wall, quite well trained
As soon as Junia got off the carriage, a well-dressed middle-aged woman led a dozen maids to pick her up, while Shedd stepped back three steps and stood behind Jada, bowing his head humbly
Mintel found that at that moment, Jada raised his face and raised his head, and the whole person was much more dignified. He suddenly remembered that although he behaved very kindly along the way, he was nominally his "employer"" Boss" instead of an equal friend So, as a "subordinate", are you acting too arrogant? As a guard who has been serving in a noble house all the year round, isn't this attitude unusual?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but break into a cold sweat
