Chapter 358: [Poor Worm's Life]
Chapter 358 [Poor Worm's Life]
No more life! I'm not alive!
Xia Ya looked at the sky angrily and clenched her fists. Merlin had soothe the tearful Su Ling chick there, and looked at Xia Ya coldly: "My old man's arrangement, do you have any objection?"
Dissent? Great dissatisfaction!
Charya looked at Merlin, her neck stretched, "I ..."
"As a man, you have to take on your own responsibilities. In this world, men are always stronger than women. Are women always the weaker side? What is your skill to bully a woman when you are a big man? Teach you to be a human. "Merlin rushed to make a fuss, and immediately made Charlie angry. Xia Ya glanced at Su Ling fiercely. The annoyance in her eyes was undisguised. Su Ling seemed to be guilty, flustered, and seemed to perceive that she had done too much.
"I haven't done anything to her at all." Xia Ya exclaimed angrily, pointing at Su Ling: "To be responsible, you have to look at what kind of talent is right?"
Adelin, hiding behind, suddenly felt a joy on her face, thinking, did not do anything? Look at Su Ling again. His eyes were clearly unfriendly.
Meilin frowned and looked at Su Ling. Su Ling quickly wiped a few more tears: "I didn't tell the truth. That night, I ... I was in his room ... The maids around me knew , Even my father noticed it later, I ... "
"Okay!" Mei Lin waved her hand. "You don't have to come up and talk about this kind of thing."
Su Ling hurriedly said, "Mother ... Lord Merlin." She had called out to her mother, but saw Xia ’s annoyed glance, and quickly changed her subconsciously, whispering, "You mean, I am naturally very happy. But this kind of thing is not easy to settle down. After all, my father is also the leader of the Zaku tribe. According to the traditions and customs of our tribe, the chief ’s daughter is married and must follow the tribe ’s customs. Yes, this is an ancient ritual, but you ca n’t mess around. I ... I have to ... "
Merlin's face was a little calmer, and he nodded: "Well, you, the Zaku tribe, have more strange rules. I said that to marry the chief's daughter, you must also get the title of warrior in the tribe. I heard What are the rules of 'Climbing the Mountain and Passing the Sea of Fire'? There are still several things to be done by the tribe, killing a few fierce Warcraft to get the title. To get the title to marry the chief's daughter, you must accept the tribe Samurai challenge ... "
Every time she said, Xia's face was worthless-he was not afraid that these things were too difficult, what killed the beasts, and met the challenge to obtain the title of warrior.
However, he was worried that once Merlin was going crazy, he forced himself to marry this sullen chick—the rules of the Zaku tribe are so many. If he really wants to follow the rules one by one, he will be in the next six months. Don't do anything else, go to the Zaku tribe to carry out the trials of those warrior titles ...
"In this case, let your marriage go first. In short, I will not let this kid lose you." Meilin sighed.
When Xia Ya heard this, she was relieved. She didn't expect that Merlin had become so good at talking. She suddenly moved in her heart. Some hit the snake, and she took the opportunity to say, "That ... And, this poor worm, ah No. Adeline is also a royal person, and there are many rules, isn't it also ... "
"Huh." Mei Lin snorted. "The rules of the Zaku tribe are traditional customs. How can they be neglected? As for Adeline's family, they are just the old rules of the world. Moreover, I and The old things of the Hannigan family all know, they sell me face, and they will not be held accountable, so you don't need to worry about it ... you, do you want to push back!
As soon as Merlin stared, Xia closed her mouth quickly. Immediately, Meilin stared at Xia Ya fiercely: "Okay, I've finished talking, what are you still standing here for? My old man is mad at you now! You guy, looks honest, but didn't expect it. Lied to so many girls! "
Xia Ya was aggrieved, thinking where did I lie to a woman?
However, Meilin was really relieved. Anyway, she didn't really add another wife to herself. It was a blessing. She didn't dare to say anything, and hurried back. Before she came out, she also looked at Su Ling, thinking about this trouble. How did the young girl come here? Damn, this messy guy, with time, Lao Tzu beat her hard.
Out of the backyard, Xia saw Galin and other Zaku warriors outside. I went up again to see the ceremony. Although everyone had different languages, anyway, they were born and died together. It was a special affection to meet.
In particular, Xia Ya helped the Zaku tribe to clean up the Damandralas serpent, which is equivalent to becoming a benefactor of the Zaku tribe. These Zaku warriors looked at Xia ’s eyes and looked at the gods. Xia Although intimate, these guys always kept a little awe.
The two sides gestured with their hands for a long time, and they were both unable to say anything. Originally, the girl from Su Ling could serve as an interpreter, but she is now courting Merlin in the backyard, and she has made a fool of herself. Not afraid to come out.
After a while, A Cai ran in.
It turned out that A Cai went to the military barracks outside the city to report to Xia Ya, and Xia rushed back when she heard it, but left A Cai behind. The Zaku boy was late, and with A Cai as a translator, the two sides finally could communicate.
It turned out that these Zaku samurai all just came from the tribe today. They waded through the mountains and mountains. There were nearly two hundred people in the party. They were all carefully selected samurai in the tribe-and brought a large amount of gold!
It turned out that after the chief of the Zaku tribe had reached an agreement with Xia, in addition to thanking him for removing Ender of Dammandras. In addition to sending so much gold, she also promised Xia, and will do more transactions with Xia here in the future. The Zaku tribe is rich in gold. In addition, there are various high-quality items such as Warcraft leather goods. If these items are shipped out on the market, they are all treasures.
It's a pity that after Xia came back last time, he encountered the Odins going south, but where did he have time to send someone to trade with the Zaku tribe?
The Zaku people waited for a few months at home. No news from Xia, and the war on the mainland, the trade routes of all localities were cut off. As a result, the number of caravans in the tribe is also decreasing, and gradually there is a lot of backlog. Many of the daily needs in the tribe, even some small amounts of food, vegetables, tea, and the like, are with the outside businessmen. In exchange for the team's trade, once this business route is broken, over time, there will naturally be some trouble. Moreover, this year's tobacco leaves have been collected, but they cannot be sold. They can only be piled up in the warehouse and must be moldy.
Tobacco of the Zaku tribe is one of the most popular commodities in the world and a major source of income for the Zaku tribe. After exhausting his patience, the chief warrior remembered the agreement with Charlie-that Charlie heard that he was a Byzantine official, and there was still an agreement and friendship between the two parties, so the chief warlord ordered and sent it. Such a caravan of tribal warriors came out south to Byzantium, looking for Xia.
What surprised Xia is that this little girl, Su Ling, didn't sneak out this time, but actually got the chief's permission to work as a translator in this team and followed along.
This Zaku team brought a large amount of gold, in addition to some tobacco leaves, as well as some hunted out Warcraft fur and other things, a total of several carts.
In addition, they were familiar with the terrain and the mountain roads along the way, and the original thieves and horse thieves on the wild fire were basically collected a few months ago by Nene and others. So there was no danger on the road, and I came all the way to Denzel, County Moore.
As for the girl Su Ling, she was in a hurry to find Xia Ya, ran into the city guard house, and met Mei Lin ... Su Ling had met Mei Lin at first, knowing that the strong man was the most awesome person in Xia Ya, I saw people in the house busy. As soon as I asked, was Xia going to hold a wedding?
Su Ling was in a hurry at that time. The little girl was a bit clever and clever. She found Merlin directly and got the scene just now.
Zaku warriors and Galin waited for a while, and Xia immediately prepared drinks and food, invited everyone to a full meal, and drank half of the wine, but Galin said something in Xia's ear again. A Cai, acting as a translator, also had a weird look, and said with a bitter smile to Xia Ya, "Galin said that the witch doctor in the tribe has been cured, and asked him to say hello. After the adult has passed the test of the tribe, he is about to take over the sacrifice of the tribe. After taking office, I'm afraid I won't leave the tribe in the future, she said, she will always remember you, sir ... "
Speaking of the witch doctor who was indifferent on the outside but enthusiastic inside, Xia Ya sneered again, remembering the night before she left ... keke, drink and drink!
The arrival of these Zaku people brought a lot of good things, especially those gold and tobacco, but they were all valuable. It is a pity that the war is in turmoil, and there are a lot of refugees in Denzel, but where else can there be trade routes?
Charlie simply sent someone to discuss with Green. After Green came, after asking about the situation, he also had a meaning with Charya: "It is not difficult for them to buy daily necessities, but there is nothing else in the city. The house is over, we are only sending people to farm now, and the autumn grain has not been collected. The city's grain has been rationed. Where are the surplus grain to trade with them? As for other goods ... Now there are wars everywhere, where are there? Commercial road? "
Charya was also silent, but then she suddenly remembered the guy of Bovdax, and when he was in his heart, he sent someone to invite Dax.
Dax had been hiding in a cavalry barracks outside the city these days, and I heard that he was getting along well with Nene.
After Xia Ya arranged the rest of the Zaku tribe, such as Galin, and waited for it to get dark, Dax was called back from the outside.
This guy has mixed with the cavalry for so many days. The original beautiful face was tanned a lot, and when walking, he was obviously holding his two legs like a cavalry, which is obviously the sequelae of too many horses these days. , But it looks great.
When he walked in, he first ran to Xia, grabbed the glass in front of Xia, drank the water in it, and sighed again, and then smiled, "What's the matter of calling me back so urgently?"
Charya looked at Green, and Green didn't say anything—they were somewhat jealous of this unknown Dax, but after all, Charya was more casual than Green, and said, "Last time, you and me Those things that have been said ... I heard that you have a lot of relationships in the northern part of the mainland? I now have a lot of materials in my hand, which can be traded and done well. I can also raise more military expenditures, which is a way to enrich the people and the army It's just that we're all over the place now ... "
Dax smiled: "When I entered the city, I saw the Turks from the Zaku tribe outside. Did they bring any good things?" Then, he took a deep look at Xia: "Unexpected, You have such a wide way, even the Zaku tribe has your relationship. The Zaku's tobacco is a good thing. If you send the best tobacco to Landis, you can sell it for the same weight of gold. "
After speaking, he sat down, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then looked at Charlie and Green: "What is my origin? Both of them are family members of Moore County. Everyone knows very well. Since you are willing Ask me for cooperation, then everyone might as well make it clear. My backstage aspect has not touched the mind of the mainland, but I just want to stir up the starting point here and give some trouble to the Odin people. This big bet, Our boss has already placed a bet on the Byzantine side. So if you want to cooperate, let's be honest and open, so as not to guard against each other in the future, it will break things. "
"Yes." Charlie nodded.
"I want a name," Dax said. "I can't see my identity. I need a formal identity under you to run things."
Xia Ya smiled: "You want an official under my command? That's not difficult. I'll appoint you as the logistics lieutenant, Cato's deputy."
"No, the quartermaster position is not easy to use, I want a military post." Dax said: "You don't have to worry about me drawing your troops, I am an lonely person, and you don't have to worry about me."
"Yes, what military position do you want?" Charlie nodded happily.
Dax touched his chin, with a smirk on his face: "I get along well with Lord Nene ... well, let me be a camp officer in a cavalry."
Charlie looked at the strange smile of this guy, and her heart felt a little bad ... This guy's bad water in his stomach was stirred with Nene, wouldn't he have any thoughts to hurt Lao Tzu?
But having said the words, Charlie nodded. On the spot, he wrote a warrant appointment document, appointing Povdax as a battalion officer under the First Cavalry Regiment.
"Well, I have the name. I have to do it secretly. Those guys in the 6th and 7th Corps can't let them know. Well, I need some reliable people to do it. You take the barracks next to you. , Drop some people to me, don't need more, fifty rides is enough. "
Charya also responded, and the relatives around him were the original Samurai and Mercenary regiments who had been brought in, and they sent 50 people to him, but they also sent Afrecate to him. Dax. Afrecate did fine work and was not bad at hand. It was a surveillance meaning to be placed beside this Dax.
Everyone knows it well, it's not a bit broken, but it looks kind.
"I took these people and set off. It will take a month or two, at least 20 days, and I will always come back. You will wait for my news." Dax stood up and looked at Xia Ya, Laughing: "It's a pity, but I'm going to miss your wedding, oh ... it must be a fun thing, unfortunately, a pity ..."
Charya looked annoyed and watched Dax go out.
Green sat aside and said nothing. After Dax left, Green frowned. "This guy was sent by the Landis after all ..."
Xia Ya sighed: "Now we have no choice. As long as it is a force, we must borrow it."
Green smiled: "I have no other meaning but to cooperate with the Landis. Once things are known in the future, it will always be a handle. Don't forget, you are only a county guard, and you are acting temporarily. You do n’t have that power to trade a covenant with another country. "
"Emergency matters." Xia Ya waved.
Green smiled. He was not a pedantic man, so he didn't say anything. Then he looked at Charya with a sad look, and said, "I have heard about the afternoon ..."
Charya was furious: "Which guy is talking up again? These guys are all unclean!"
Green patted Xia Ya, and said, "I feel that, compared to marrying Your Royal Highness Princess Adeline in your backyard, I think that marrying the chief daughter of the Zaku tribe is more suitable and more beneficial to you. Big."
Xia Ya's face suddenly became unsightly.
Green shook his head: "I didn't mean to make fun of you ... Xia, let me tell you the truth. Now the situation is rotten, you have a heavy responsibility, and the situation in the north, now it seems that there is only hope for you to clean up. I'm outdated, and I've been left in the military academy for too long, and my influence in the army has been much worse than before. And the remnants of the Sixth and Seventh Regiments are defeated, but they are useless. But ... Do you know the identity of Her Royal Highness? "
Xia shook her head—to be honest, he really doesn't know much about the poor worm's life so far.
"His Highness, I knew her when I was in the Imperial City." Green's tone was serious: "However, I heard that her status in the royal family has always been awkward, and Her Majesty Cantos has always been very uncomfortable. She likes her, but her Royal Highness has been defending her because of her affection. Moreover, the background of Her Royal Highness Adeline is really complicated. Although she is Her Royal Highness ... But to be honest, her Princess ’s The title is not actually our Byzantine Empire. "
"Ah?" Charlie frowned.
"Her mother was our Byzantine princess, the sister of Emperor Cantos. Her Majesty was crowned Emperor, and there were some twists and turns, and her blood became heavier. Her brothers, They used to throne the throne, and finally died in the palace coup. They died and were wounded. Even if they were not dead at the time, they did not end well. "Green sneered:" The battle for the throne has always been So cold and ruthless, there is no need to say it. But Her Majesty Cantos is cold to his brother, but to his younger sister, it is excellent. That is His Highness Adeline's mother. Unfortunately, later our empire We fought a few wars with the Odins, and we won or lost, but in general, we lost more. Later we made peace with the Odins, and the other party proposed a marriage. His Highness Adeline Mother, I married Odin. The Emperor Odin heard that there is not much hobby in female sexuality, and when Emperor Odin succeeded in the throne in the past, their Odin tribe competed for the throne than us. worship The court was even more cruel, and Emperor Odin almost killed his own brothers before he came to the throne. Emperor Odin, as the emperor of a country, could not marry an empire princess as the queen. Disagreement with the Odin tradition also causes dissatisfaction among the various tribes.
Therefore, who married our princess is a family brother of Emperor Odin, not his own brother, but he is also a member of the Hannigan family, and because he does not have the right to inherit the royal family, there is no conflict of interest. I heard that the Emperor was very kind to this brother and was very kind. He also sealed his title as Prince.
Later, the princess gave birth to a daughter, Her Royal Highness Adeline. She was only the daughter of a prince, but the title of princess was broken by Emperor Odin. It shows how much the Emperor Odin treats his prince, his brother. The prince also commanded the troops inside and outside the royal city of Odin, which was highly trusted by the emperor.
Unfortunately, he did not live long, and was born less than a month after His Royal Highness Adeline, and died of illness.
Later, the princess was too sorrowful in Odin, and returned to Byzantium to visit relatives and nurses. At that time, the relationship between the two countries was better, and her Highness Adeline was brought back together. However, I didn't expect to come back for less than half a year, we and the Odin people started fighting again ~ EbookFREE.me ~ This time, the princess stayed in the country and did not return to Odin. The princess also had a bad life. Before the war ended, she heard that she was ill because she missed her husband.
In the end, only Princess Adeline was left alone.
You think, our relationship with Odin is so bad, Her Royal Highness Adeline has half the blood of Odin, and her mother was better when she was alive. But after her mother died, she was naturally not seen. Already.
His Majesty Cantos also said that he did not like the niece very much. Even, I heard some secret rumors. On several occasions, Her Royal Highness Adeline almost died of some strange accident.
Alas, there is always something insider about the royal family.
His Royal Highness was very good to his cousin, and he always took good care of her, but after all, she was the princess title of an enemy country, always, always ... "
Green said here, looked at Xia, and whispered, "Xia, you have a heavy responsibility. If you work hard in the future, you will definitely become the imperial minister, but the identity of His Highness Adeline is really sensitive. If you marry her, there will always be a lot of criticism and suspicion in the future ... "
