Chapter 522 [Young age! 】
Chapter 522 [Little Age!]
"Have you set off?"
Governor Fritz sat silently in the yard.
No one knew that in such cold weather, the old man refused to cook the fire in the room, but instead wanted to set up a small table in the yard, then held the stove, drank and enjoyed the snow while drinking.
If someone else did this, he would have gone crazy. But this one was Governor Fritz, the most capable minister recognized by the empire in the past decade.
If he was crazy, I'm afraid there would be no sober minister in the entire empire.
Fritz sighed softly, his words "Did you go to war?" were not asking others, but facing someone sitting opposite him.
This man is also an old man, with gray hair and thin and weak figure, looking like a candle struggling in the wind, which will be extinguished at any time.
His whole body exuded an extremely weak aura.
But if you look at his eyes, you will find that the person's eyes are like two balls of flames, with flames burning faintly!
"Why don't you persuade him?"
The weak old man seemed to be sighing, stretched out his two fingers and gently twisted a wine glass in front of him.
The wine was just hot, and there was a hint of warmth in the throat.
"I can't persuade you." Fritz shook his head: "Young people are always ambitious. At this time, no matter what others say, it is useless. They have to wait until they really go through things before they can understand. No matter how much they say at this time, it will only make people disgusted. Besides... his attitude is very firm."
Fritz said this and seemed to smile: "What's more, this time... I don't think I'll suffer any losses. If I guess correctly, I'll probably take advantage of it. Being able to take the opportunity to let the army get some bloody smell and develop a little bit of shape is also a good deal."
"It's a pity that it's useless." The old man who was drinking looked cold and said lightly: "His purpose is to protect this fortress in the northwest, but unfortunately, it's impossible after all."
As he said that, he put down his wine glass, pointed to the west, and said in a deep voice: "That person is not easy to deal with. At a young age, what he did is scary!"
Governor Fritz's eyes flashed: "Oh? I didn't expect that you have already understood the matter all the time?"
"I read some briefings along the way and guessed a few points. This guy is so energetic that I don't know what she wants to do." The old man's face was a little gloomy: "I made such a big situation and such a big game of chess... Who is she playing chess with?"
"The new emperor of the imperial capital is no match for it." Fritz sneered.
"Shilo?" The old man looked a little disdainful: "He is a little vicious and a little clever, but he lacks some courage and great wisdom. Speaking of his opponent... he is far from the opponent of the west!"
Fritz nodded: "Yes, it was not until recently that I gradually saw the situation of this game of chess. This girl from the Tulip family is so terrifying! She leads the grassland people in the west, lures orcs in the north, and picks Shilo in the east. Is she going to solve all the problems of the three parties at once in the northwest? "
"So I said, Dalingchen is destined to be in vain this time. Even if he wins this time, it will be meaningless. It is a good idea to scare the orcs, but unfortunately... As long as the duke makes a fuss to attract the orcs, just spread some news... Even if the orcs suffer a loss, they will still come again! Besides..."
The old man lowered his voice: "It's been more than a hundred years... What is the relationship between the Tulip family and the elves in the north? Do you really think that no one in the world knows? His Highness Du Wei, who had an alliance with the elves at that time."
Fritz raised his head and glanced at the other party: "You have said such words. I guess you have understood something? Well, that's right, you, the Minister of the Interior, always know more than others."
This old man is not someone else, but the Minister of Inner Court, Old Pete, who is next to His Majesty Marci.
When Chen Daolin was in the imperial capital, he reached a secret agreement with Hilo, including the release of old Pete.
Shilo was a bachelor. Since he had made an agreement and admitted the account later, he released Old Pete and sent someone to the northwest.
Old Pete was imprisoned in the imperial capital for this year. He suffered a lot, suffered a lot of physical and mental injuries, and his body was extremely deficient. Once he arrived in the northwest and came to Chen Daolin's territory, he was arranged by Chen Daolin at his home, so he simply stayed with Governor Fritz.
Both of them are loyal subjects of the former Real Madrid. From a standpoint, they are absolutely fellows, and they are very co-stars together.
Chen Daolin didn't think too much about rescuing Old Pete. He was purely to repay His Majesty's kindness to him when he was alive, and he didn't want His Majesty's last loyal minister to be invincible.
"I think...thing is a bit weird."
Governor Fritz reached out, poured a glass of wine for himself, took a sip, and suddenly laughed: "I didn't attend the meeting before the expedition a few days ago, but later I heard... the atmosphere at that time was a bit strange. The girl from the Liszt family showed some courage, which was amazing!"
As he said that, he took a deep look at Old Pete.
Pete's face stagnated, and then he slowly smiled: "After all, I can't hide your eyes! Governor Fritz, when the first emperor was here, said that in terms of the venomousness of light, you are the most important ministers in the empire today!"
After pausing, Pete whispered: "Okay, I admit that I taught the Liszt girl."
"Why?" Governor Fritz frowned, put down his wine glass, and stared at Pitt with a bright look.
"It's very simple, this is an opportunity." Pete said lightly: "The orcs sent out too much force to test. Why not seize a chance to train troops that others have given for free? Although the Northwest Fortress cannot be saved after all, it is possible to take the opportunity to train troops and fight a bloody army, which will also add some prestige to Lord Darling Chen, why not do it?"
"It's right, but the reason is not enough." Fritz stared at Pete coldly: "What I asked is, why did you do this? If you want to help Darling Chen say this to him, he may not be unable to listen! But why did you say it out of the mouth of the girl Lodell?"
Pete sat upright and stared at Fritz with a serious look: "Old guy, I ask you, someone like me who is still alive and unwilling to die. What else do you want to do now?"
"You... want to take revenge?" Fritz's voice was a little cold.
"Yes!" Pete gritted his teeth: "The death of the late emperor, I am naturally still counted on Hilo. I still insist on dying, and I am still reluctant to die in Hilo's prison. I never want to die... Do you think I really don't have the chance to commit suicide? Humph! I have been in the inner court for decades! Even if Hilo has been on the throne, I can't do anything to him, but can't find a chance to seek death by myself? He has given me so much torture. If I want to give myself a pleasure, do you think I really can't do anything?"
"This revenge... is it on Darlingchen?" Fritz sighed.
"If you were still in the East China Sea, then I would have gone to find you long ago! With your status and strength in the East China Sea, as long as you raise a banner and my help, it will not be difficult to pull up a large army of attacks." Pete shook his head: "It's a pity. When the incident happened, you were also in the imperial capital and were beaten up by Hilo. For several months you were imprisoned, the people of Hilo had already cleaned up the Newhoven province. So... I had no choice. The only one who still had a chance was Darling Chen."
"Where is the Tulip House? You didn't think about it?"
"Thinking." Pete nodded seriously, and his tone was cautious: "I was released and I wanted to go to the Tulips' house to find the duchess at the first time. Unfortunately... I read the briefings along the way. I learned about all the things that the duchess did over the past year, and the current situation. I began to be scared!"
"Scared? Hahahahaha! You, the Minister of the Inner Court, don't know how many people you have killed in your life. How many lives have you seen! Is there something you are afraid of?"
"Yes." Pete's expression was still serious: "I can't see clearly! I can't see clearly what the duke wants to do!"
Speaking of this, Pete's expression became more and more worried: "I don't need to ask the rebellion of the Northwest Grasslands, just to understand that Tulips must have secretly indulged it! Otherwise, the Tulips have been operating the Northwest Grassland for more than 100 years. If even a prairie king cannot control it, then several generations of Dukes of the Tulips can wipe their necks and commit suicide! If the invasion of the grassland people, if it weren't for the Tulips' deliberately promoted it, I, old Pete, cut off my head and kicked you as a ball!
Also, if I could not see clearly before, but when I knew that the duchess actually vacate the Northwest Fortress... Then if I still can't figure it out, I will have been in vain for decades!
Plus her attitude towards the Thunder Whip of Panin’s two divisions…hey!”
Pete's eyelids suddenly sagged: "I suddenly remembered an interesting thing from the past."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Pete pondered for a moment and said slowly: "It was about ten years ago. At that time, the former Duke of Tulip was still there. One year, the old duke took this lady to the imperial palace for a banquet. At that time, His Majesty Marshi had just ascended the throne and needed strong support from the Tulip family, so he was very good to this lady. With the dignified Majesty, he would call him an aunt to a girl under ten years old. This has already brought down his face.
After a dinner party, His Majesty occasionally heard that the lady was learning to ride a horse recently, so he ordered someone to select the best horse from the palace to give it to the eldest lady of the Tulips family as a gift.
The young lady was still young at that time, and that horse was a little more violent, so she rode several times but couldn't ride it on it.
At that time, the Duke and His Majesty Marshi laughed, and then asked the young lady, "What should you do if you can't ride this horse?"
Old Man Fritz, guess how did this young lady answer?”
Governor Fritz frowned: "What did you say?"
Pete slowly breathed: "I remember clearly that at that time... I stood beside His Majesty Marsh to serve, and the young lady turned her head and thought for a moment, and said seriously: Since she can't ride, she will kill her!"
Governor Fritz didn't say anything, but his hand hidden in his sleeves quietly squeezed it a little.
Old Pete continued: "When hearing this answer, His Majesty and the Duke looked a little surprised, and asked her why she thought so.
The young lady said: Since the horse is disobedient, it should be whipped with a whip. It should be plucked until it is obedient. But since this horse is in the palace, I think the horse master in the palace should have been tamed, and he should have been plucked and still cannot tamed it. There is nothing to say. Horses are for people to ride, but since they cannot ride, no matter how powerful the horse is, it will lose its value of existence. A thousand-mile horse that cannot be ridden is not as useful as a slow horse that can be ridden by people, and it is better to kill it!"
Fritz's face was a little serious: "At a young age, he is determined to kill!"
After a pause, Fritz frowned: "What's next?"
Pete smiled bitterly: "At that time, the duke's face looked a little bad, and then scolded the lady on the spot and said, "I will give you this horse to you, and you will be given a hundred days. You will be responsible for taking care of this horse and taming this horse every day!"
"Oh?" Governor Fritz nodded: "It seems that the Duke also saw that the young lady was more murderous. She wanted to sharpen her temperament. Well, this is in line with the Duke's usual style of doing things."
"Yes, that's what the Duke thinks." Pete smiled bitterly, "But what happened next has even made me even more..."
"Later? What happened?"
"For the next three months, the young lady of the Tulip family lived in the palace, and I personally served her daily life every day. This was also what His Majesty Marsh told me to do to show her respect for the Tulip family. During these 100 days, the young lady really took care of the horses themselves every day, fed, washed, and trained the horses without hesitation. She never complained, even the horse masters in the palace admired this perseverance very much. She was born, serving a beast every day, and even cleaning the stables by herself, making her smelly horse manure without any complaints.
At a young age, this kind of mind and perseverance can still be so calm and calm... it really shocks people!"
Fritz pondered for a moment and asked, "So... this young lady must have tamed this fierce horse in the end?"
"..." Pete was silent for a while and said slowly: "On the 100th day, the young lady fed the horses by herself, washed them, and cleaned the stables by herself. Just like what she did every day in the previous ninety-nine days, she meticulously completed everything. Then... she did one thing."
"What?" Fritz seemed to have guessed something, and his eyes twitched!
"She...draws out her sword and cuts down the horse's head with one sword!"
Fritz's face froze! He was silent for a while before he let out a sigh: "...Why?"
Pete picked up the wine pot on the table, without using the cup, took a big sip at the pot, wiped the corner of his mouth, and smiled bitterly: "I was by my side at that time, and I was already stunned when I saw her killing the horse. Before I could react, the horse's head had been cut off by her, and blood spurted her all over! I ran over so scared that I asked her why she did this. Guess, how did she answer?"
"What did she say?"
"She said: My father asked me to take care of this horse for 100 days to hone my character. I understood my father's intention, so I did it. I did it for 100 days without any laziness. I used all these hundred days to prove to my father that I had honed my character. Since I used it to sow my character and my purpose had been achieved, what should I keep it for?"
Governor Fritz was stunned for a long time and took a breath: "You are young! You are young!"
Pete sneered: "After Hilo successfully usurped the throne, everyone said that he was good at tolerant. In my opinion, he may not be as good as the eldest lady of the Tulips when she was ten years old!"
"Such awesome woman! Pete, why don't you go to join her?"
"I said, I can't see what she wants to do." Pete shook his head: "This game of chess is too big. Now I dare not say that I have understood her overall layout. Now it seems that she is trying hard to cook all the grassland people and orcs in the northwest... But who can guarantee that this is her real ultimate goal?"
Fritz's heart thumped: "Do you want to say it?"
"Well!" Pi Te nodded: "No one knows how much strength the Tulip family has hidden! If she really did this step in front of her, and solved the grassland people and orcs in the northwest... Then at that time, how far her prestige would reach! Almost as much as what Du Wei did a hundred years ago! By that time... how prestige of this Tulip Duke would be... And at that time, if she took advantage of the situation and marched eastward..."
"You mean..."
"As ancestors don't want to be emperors, but those who are grandsons may not be interested in the throne." Pete said lightly: "She arranges the matter on the grassland, but even His Majesty Marshi hides it together! As for Hilo... At that time, can he, a king who usurped the throne, really fight for her?"
