Power and Empire Chapter 666: Battle of Yiying (6)
Battle of Yiyingte (6)
"Why? Don't you want it?" Swadian King Haraus raised his head impatiently. Some pale temples did not affect his image of a golden lion. A powerful aura belonging to the king rushed towards his face. Let Lidarcus, who is kneeling down below, shiver forever
"This... This is His Majesty the King of Swadian"
Lidarcus realized how dangerous his expression of disdain was just now.
Although the current Swadian has faded away, the precipitation of the largest power in the continent for hundreds of years still makes this elderly supreme able to shake the entire continent at any time. As for the use of some kind of To get rid of a small person like yourself in a proper way, you can compose more than a thousand reasons, such as improper speech and insulting His Majesty the King. . . Picking his nostrils in front of His Majesty the King or something. and many more. . . Anyway, it just made you die, and you have to be scolded, "Damn",
Seeing Lidarcus being silent, King Haraus snorted coldly on his throne, "Is the princess of the real Swadian Kingdom not as good as the daughter of a retainer? Or you guys? Is there any shady behind-the-scenes deal with Prais? Or I directly ordered the execution of both of you, so that this incident that humiliated the entire Swadian will end in blood? Before I gave the order, you most I want to think clearly, this is your only chance to survive"
"... Is this a forced marriage? I was forced to marry"
Lidarcus, with his head covered in black lines, knelt down, watching his liver tremble, cold sweat on his head,
I still can’t hear the meaning of this majesty’s inevitable gain. That’s a fool. Between death and solar terms, Lidarcus did not hesitate to sell his lord after hesitating for 0.005 seconds. Up,
"No... Your Majesty, please don't get me wrong." I just feel very gratified and honored for my lord to marry a Swadian princess. This marriage will surely make our two countries prosperous and prosperous. . . . . . "Lidarcus is worthy of being a clever tongue. Under the despicable influence of a fat man, changing his face is like changing his mask.
He quickly put on an overjoyed expression and saluted King Harous on the throne. In fact, he had already made plans in his heart.
Isn’t it just a woman? To marry one is to marry, and to marry two is to marry. Besides, the princess of Swaldian is a genuine royal princess after all. In terms of identity and status, the Jedi is more in line with the daughter of the Prais family. The identity of the Falcon Dynasty,
As for the question on your lord's side, is that still a question? For the fat man who always likes to be cheap, this kind of one earns two business, I am afraid that I will be happier
"I just hope I don't be an ugly monster," Lidarcus muttered to himself,
Of course, it is impossible to bring it up in person. You can't say to the Supreme Highness who has ruled Swadian for 30 years, "I don't know how the princess looks like, how much her measurements are, her personality, her height, and her weight. . That keeps on opening and so on"
Lidarcus believes that as soon as his words were spoken, King Haraus sitting on the throne would wipe himself with a sword, but don’t ask, if this is really an ugly monster and marry it back, it’s a fat man. I have to wipe my neck by myself
"Difficult" Lidarkus struggled with this face for a while, but he still felt that Fatty was more terrifying than Harous,
If you offend King Swadian, you will be reprimanded at most. As the executor of the marriage, the chance of survival is still very high.
If he offends the fat man, Lidarcus has reason to believe that the fat man will retaliate with a method that makes him worse than death. As for the method, who knows, use a feather to shave his feet. dead? Let yourself be **** by seventeen or eight sturdy cooks. . . . . . . As an old man from the Sameer era, he knows quite a bit about the despicableness of a fat man,
Fat Samor’s eyes are smaller than the eyes of a needle. It’s not that Lidarcus was completely dashed when he thought of the sad situation he might face. He could only bite the bullet and risk being beheaded. Asked boldly
"I don’t know which noble and beautiful princess will marry our Falcon dynasty this time? I also have to send this good news back to China as soon as possible, so that the entire Falcon dynasty feels very much about the marriage between the two countries. Honored"
Lidarcus especially emphasized the noble and beautiful princess, the tone of these words,
The meaning of this sentence is very clear, the other is not important, the important thing is noble and beautiful, if you want the marriage to be established, Swadian can't send an ugly monster to fill the number
"This..."
King Haraus is worthy of being a sophisticated character. He dragged a long nasal sound in his mouth, squinted at Lidarcus with his domineering eyes, and tapped his fingers on the armrest of the throne.
This made Lidarcus a little speechless. He could see that the feelings for the supreme Swadian is just a whim, and he hasn't even decided on the candidate.
"House Officer"
King Harrods yelled to the side door beside him. In fact, King Harrods himself didn’t remember how many princesses he had. The princesses are not a scarce but very important resource. They win over retainers and join the nation. , Even the armistice agreement is used, so the royal family’s management of the princess has always been special
Cracking, the side door was pushed open. A middle-aged man with curly hair on his head and a big red buckle uniform came out of the side door. His figure was thin and he stopped next to King Harous. , Deeply Ju Yigong
"Your Majesty, what is your order?"
The internal affairs officer’s voice is a bit shrill, and his face is also a little fake white. It can be seen that it is painted with a layer of white powder, which makes it easy to think of some special people who are out of date.
"How many princesses in the royal family are suitable for marriage age but who are not engaged?" Harousy waved to him and asked
"14-year-old Princess Beaujeante, 16-year-old Princess Liwhite..." The interior officer almost without hesitation said that several people are suitable for marriage age. The names of the royal princesses at the stage. Listening to the names of these princesses, not only Lidarcus felt a little dizzy, but also King Harous himself was a little impatient
"Stop." King Harrods waved his hand to stop the internal affairs officer who was familiar with the business and asked directly, "Which one is the oldest now?"
"Her Royal Highness Princess Haraudian"
The house officer who looked like an **** said with his own special shrill voice, "Princess Haroldian had already made a marriage contract and will be married in May this year, but because of the Northern War, the marriage contract Unfortunately, the man died in battle, and his fiancé died before getting married, and during the funeral, no family dared to make a request for a marriage contract..."
"Well, is it Haroldian? It's been two months, is she still worrying..." King Harous tapped his finger on the hard armrest. His always strong face flashed with hesitation. At this moment, he is more like a sad father than a king who decides the future of the kingdom
If King Harrods, who has always been busy with state affairs, remembers what a princess looks like, it’s the princess Haroldian who looks the most like himself, brave and persevering, fearless and decisive, but it’s not a man but Harrods. Evaluation of this princess
"It's her." There was a long silence. King Harous knocked his finger on the armrest to stop, stood up from his throne, and said determinedly, "Convey my orders. In view of the friendship and stability between the two countries, Swadian Princess Haroldian is going to marry King Dustan of the Falcon Dynasty. I ruined her marriage. Then give her a man that all women in mainland want to marry. It can be regarded as a kind of compensation for the father to his daughter."
"This... is it a bit too sloppy? In any case, Princess Haraudian is the third heir to your Majesty. "This house officer was a little surprised and panicked.
Harlaus glanced at him coldly, "Are you going to disobey the king's order?"
"The subordinates will prepare for this immediately." The internal affairs officer turned and left with a terrified expression on his face.
"Yes, it is the honor of our Falcon dynasty to marry Princess Haroldian." Lidarcus finally gave a sigh of relief. The name of Haroldian, the most beautiful princess of Swadian Kyoto, is The upper aristocratic world of Wikiah can also be heard,
The homing pigeons with the marriage treaty fluttered from the sky above Paravin, and flew across the sky to the direction of Tewarin
Lidarcus was finally able to relax. During the time he received the dynasty's reply, he was completely routinely traveling between his residence and Plais' mansion to discuss some matters concerning the marriage.
Along the way, there are hundreds of Swadian royal knights to protect, heavy war horses, heavily armed and heavy armor, which shows that the Swadian royal family attaches great importance to this marriage.
Even if some unopened Paravin nobles want to find trouble, they will soon be dismissed by these sturdy royal knights,
Lidakus looked boredly at the suburb of Palavun outside the carriage. In previous years, the Palavun Plain in early August was full of harvest sceneries, and there was a joyous atmosphere of harvest season everywhere.
In the fertile fields, there are busy people everywhere. The farmers harvest the mature wheat, dry it in a concentrated manner, and store it in storage. At the same time, the wheat and grass in the fields are also collected and piled into high ground. Straw haystacks and farming cows are tied under the wheat haystacks in every household. At this time, farmers depend on the basis of their survival.
It usually rains at this time, but this year, heavy rain seems to patronize Ribogan. There is not much rainfall in the entire Paravin Plain. As the highland wheat producing area of Ikadiva mainland, Lidi towns, Basically they are not large, but there are many in number, not far apart. It looks like a string of broken pearls,
The largest town probably has a population of 100,000. Because this is a plain, there are not too many industries except rice. All commercial trade seems to be related to wheat. The stable wheat production solves the most important problem for the Swadian people, but it also makes it a simple place. For the export of grain, other industries have no chance of this, which is a bit similar to the self-sufficient economic characteristics.
The wind blew across the wide and overgrown plains and lowlands, bringing a lonely barrenness. In August this year, the Paravin Plain was a bit special, and it was also very deserted, except for a large number of carriages that transported food to the outside. , All the fields look very empty, very desolate, except for the scarecrow standing indifferently, there are also a large number of hungry yellow-faced Swadian farmers,
"This is a dry season. I heard that in many areas in the south, rain is rarely seen"
Lidarcus heard the whispering chatter of several accompanying knights nearby,
In fact, these royal knights have been designated as the guards of Princess Haraudian and escorted the princess to Twarinburg, so there is not much resistance to the messenger of the Falcon Dynasty
"Yes, I also heard that because there is no food, peasant rebellions have appeared in some small territories. Now the main power of the kingdom is in Paravin, and there is almost no stationed in the locality. It only spread in half a month. Several regions"
Another knight replied with a worried face in a low voice
"I heard that the rebels would cook and eat the captured lords, because the lords robbed them of their food, but there is not much food in the lord’s castle, so these mobs will run to other Regions to grab food"
"Eating people...It's disgusting." A young knight said with a bit of greasiness, "Where is the grain? If it is not from the lord, the grain that has been harvested for less than a month will not fly. "
"Hehe, you said you can transfer food from the local lord, who else can?" For this inexperienced young knight, an older knight captain smiled mysteriously.
"You mean the adults in Kyoto, they reselled food..." The young knight opened his mouth in disbelief. Such a nasty thing seemed to him. It's too unreasonable,
"Well, if you know something, just telling it will make you trouble." The old knight waved his hand to all the knights, and the conversation outside gradually faded away
Lidarcus looked back from outside the carriage, he was a little bit emotional just now from the conversations of the knights,
This year’s southern Vikia is a rare bumper harvest. In addition to the bumper harvest in the northern part of Salander, the hoarding of food is enough for the existing population for 2 years, which does not count as the various ethnic groups in the Kujit steppe. Of livestock,
After several years of development and external expansion, I don’t know when, whether it is economic or material, military or equipment, Vicia has completely surpassed the original mainland’s largest power, Swadian
In a beautiful golden sunset, Princess Swadian Haroldian in a long chain armor dress slowly retracted the cold and bright knight’s long sword in her scabbard, with her cold and delicate cheeks A blush, the whole body seems to be shrouded in this last glow, like the legendary Valkyrie,
Retracting the knight sword, Haroldian looked extremely religious and bowed to a woman in a white dress opposite, "I'm so sorry, Teacher Ritter Salin, I still can't achieve the peace of advanced swordsmanship"
"It's nothing, this shouldn't be the true peace that you want to comprehend. It is often the center of the most uneasy. When you know the meaning of this sentence, you can comprehend the heart of peace."
The woman in the white dress on the opposite side dropped the long sword in her hand with a faint smile. Her body was slender and plump, revealing the charm of a young woman everywhere, a noble, beautiful, mature and plump woman,
Everyone who sees her can feel a sense of indifferent desire to go away. As they sweep their gazes, it seems that they don't have the slightest concern for the mundane things in the world.
This woman in a white dress named Ritsarin is about 26 years old. She is a female full-time swordsmanship teacher at Palavin College. She is responsible for the swordsmanship education of royal women. She has a gentle personality, graceful and decent personality. Being polite, elegant in conversation, and generous in action, he has been regarded as his idol by the Swadian noble ladies since childhood,
King Palawan is known as a white tulip. Like Haraodian, she is also a quasi-widow who died in the war after the signing of the marriage contract.
According to the custom of the Swadian people, if the marriage contractor dies in action, the marriage contract must be maintained for 3 years before it expires. If other male members of the marriage contract family apply to the marriage contract woman, the marriage date will be Performed by another male member,
This is to stabilize the military spirit in front of the battle. Otherwise, when you think of dying on the battlefield, your beloved will immediately choose to marry someone else. No soldier will have the determination to fight, but if it is your own brother, Considering family interests, it is still acceptable
This point is somewhat similar to the customs of the Kujit people in the northern grasslands. In order to survive on the grasslands with harsh living conditions, the Kujit women are, in a sense, the property of the entire tribe,
Their marriage and love, as well as the cultivation of offspring are based on the supremacy of tribal interests,
If a man dies, the woman will immediately remarry with the child, and the man responsible for receiving must also take care of all the lives of the remarried woman and her child, and treat it like his own.
Women exist for the continuation of the tribe, and men are the backbone of the continuation.
A strong man can have multiple wives at the same time, provided that he has the ability to take care of these women and their offspring. Therefore, the Kujites' fighting style is extremely brave, because they know that even if they die in battle, Their families and descendants will also be shouldered by other tribes
For Kujit men who are naturally free and easy, all they have to do is to graze and fight bravely so that their women and children will not be hungry.
"Well, I heard that your father and king have found you a marriage contractor?" Reiter Salin handed her long sword to the maid behind her, and unbuttoned her light chain armor.
"It is reasonable to say that you haven't arrived in 3 years, it is impossible to have a new marriage contract. "Reiter Salin's beautiful crescent frowns slightly, and said slightly." Although there are other male members in the marriage contract family, But for the noble royal family, it is impossible for them to suddenly mention the marriage contract"
"So I'm also very surprised." Princess Haroldian said with shame and indignity. "I only know that the marriage contract this time was decided by the father and the king suddenly. It may be a political marriage. As for the family, I don't I know that these are the news, which were obtained through some secret servants in the house"
"Lu Lin" Reitersalin raised her sleeves~IndoMTL.com~ A beautiful maid next to her hurriedly walked over. Reitersalin whispered in her ear for a while, and the maid nodded quickly. Go,
"Teacher, what are you...?" Princess Haroldian looked at her teacher with some curiosity. Rite Salin is the daughter of the Rite family, a wealthy family in Kyoto, who enjoys not only the prosperity in Kyoto. The reputation of the royal family and the deep connection with the internal affairs of Kyoto. Most of the royal family's procurement work is through the Ritter family. Otherwise, Ritter Salin will not become the royal family's swordsmanship training
"Hehe, Lu Lin's brother is the Interior Officer, Lusalt, who is in charge of drafting the marriage contract for the royal family. "Rite Salin chuckled to his disciple." I also want to see. What did your Majesty say to the Princess? Which family is it that can’t wait to be so impatient? It must be a young upstart who is extremely dependent on it."
"Teacher, you are making fun of me" the brave Princess Haroldian blushed and said with some determination
"I will not agree with this marriage. At the time when the kingdom is turbulent, the children of the royal family like us should put their energy and attention on revitalizing the kingdom, rather than on the so-called marriage. Glory belongs to us, this is the criterion that the royal family’s children should stick to.
