"Actually there is another reason."
Later in the evening, sitting in front of Char was the general Lear, Lear Yuri.
After drinking a barrel of good wine together, Char had to admit that this Lear was indeed very good. Even Xia Ya had to admit that he saw this guy more and more pleasing to the eye.
This Lear seems to be more "predictable" than Char expected. This guy seems to know more about wine than any alcoholic in Wildfire Town that Char has ever known before. Tonight Lear even taught Char to mix a little honey and some special ingredients into the wine to make the wine taste good Become more glycolic and memorable.
Tonight's meeting with Lear was not as boring or full of intrigue as Char had originally expected. The meeting was unexpectedly easy and fun.
Lear took Char to a filthy-looking tavern in Husk City, which had the best wine in Husk City, and of course women.
This Lear didn't look as sullen as the day, but seemed to be a different person. He spoke to Xia loudly, and the two men drank heavily together, shouted, and even casually said some jokes in the army, casually rude. When the drink was sweet, this Lear even jumped on the table and danced a bit of tap dance, and then he shared with Xia the "eleven ways to drink alcohol" that he had developed, including standing upside down in the corner. The pose will slowly pour down a large glass of wine without letting it spray out of your nose.
This tavern is obviously frequented by many officers stationed in the army here, and then the two participated in a small gambling organized by other officers. A dozen men gathered around a table, whistling, clapping the table and throwing dice. , drinking heavily, laughing and scolding unbridled, hooking up.
This Lear didn't look like an "heir" or "the sworn enemy of the Governor's wife" at all. He looked exactly like an ordinary low-ranking officer in the army. In this tavern, full of alcohol and loosely dressed The leader, together with the others, stared at the dice that were still spinning on the table and shouted loudly, and then cursed something loudly when they slapped the outputted copper plate out.
Xiaya had to say that this meeting was much more pleasant than expected. As if two people are the most common kind of men and men hanging out together, rough and wild.
The meeting lasted until almost midnight, and the people in the tavern were almost dispersed. It seemed that Lear and Xiaya finally had a quiet moment and sat together at the table.
Then, Lear said this.
"Actually there is another reason."
※※※
"What do you mean?" Xia Ya narrowed his eyes, and he was also full of alcohol, but at this moment, Xia Ya immediately regained his sobriety, just deliberately squinting at the General Lear in front of him.
"I think my dear aunt must have said something to you after I left this afternoon." Lear said with a nonchalant look: "So you must know who I am before we meet tonight. , and my situation and my role and position in Besta Military District. Haha, yes, I'm the one who's going to drag that 'queen' off her throne. Although I'm still there On the downside, although most people have allegiance to that woman, haha, but I don't fucking care!"
Xiaya didn't say anything, just looked at Lear.
"So you must think: With my aunt's current power in the Besta Military Region, why don't you just get rid of me for such a threat." Lear shrugged, and then he patted Xi Ya: " Haha, I bet ten gold coins, you must have thought about it carefully today, right?"
Xia Ya smiled and nodded, but still didn't speak.
"Okay, Xia, you admit it, and I believe you must have analyzed some clues. For example, the reason why my aunt didn't get rid of me is because my uncle hasn't died, so she can't do it now. Attack me. Or, she's just using me to fish... Haha! That's right, I'm a target, she kept me on purpose, so that those who were secretly dissatisfied with her surfaced and gathered By my side, one day in the future, she can easily catch everything... Hahahaha... You must have thought of this, right?"
Speaking of which, Lear narrowed his eyes, lowered his voice deliberately, and looked mysterious: "Actually, there is another reason, do you know what it is?"
"I don't know." Xia Ya shook her head.
"I tell you, because..." Lear took a deep breath, and then whispered solemnly: "Because, that bitch, that bitch, wants to borrow me to show her magnanimity, her bearing, and use this to Show everyone that she's a great person, she has the qualities that people who achieve great things have: tolerance, belly, and what the fuck, show that she doesn't even bother to have common knowledge with me, she keeps me, In fact, I want to prove to most people: Look, I don't care about such a small threat at all, because I am 10,000 times stronger than that little Lear!"
Char laughed, and this time he really laughed, because this Lear's words were really fucking funny.
"I have to say, a lot of people really like her shit! The more she keeps me, the more people think she's unfathomable, that she has an unparalleled bearing and achieves great things. Ability. Although she may have long wanted to swallow me in one bite! But, as I said just now, people in this world still eat her way! But in fact, as I know, she is a bitch, a bitch!"
Xia Ya remained calm and looked into Lear's eyes: "This 'bitch' you said, this 'bitch', is your uncle's wife."
"You're right." Lear laughed, his face full of drunkenness: "But she's still a bitch, a bitch."
After speaking, he stood up, struggled to stand firm, and said loudly: "Do you know what kind of family the Yuri family is? We are not nobles, not traditional nobles! The Yuri family is from Byzantium. South Central Empire, my great-great-grandfather was just a small farmer with a few cotton fields, mud legs struggling in the fields all year round! We drank ale, slept in barrels and straw, and wore sackcloth , sometimes with shoes, sometimes barefoot! But do you know who my aunt is, who is that woman?"
He looked into Xia Ya's eyes and said in an almost ridiculous and absurd tone: "She is an 'aristocrat'! Hahahahaha, I'm right, aristocrat! She said an aristocrat!"
"She wears silk, doesn't speak loudly when she eats, eats a palm-sized steak, uses three different forks and two different knives, and eats more than six sets of utensils for one dinner—their noblemen say This is the etiquette of eating, go to the hell! I can do all this with just one spoon, and this spoon may not need to be washed for three days! Do you know what aristocrat is? Aristocrat means 'hypocrisy'! Trust me, this woman is the fastest person I know in this world!"
Xia Ya couldn't help laughing: "Trust me, I also know a woman, and the speed of turning her face is definitely not slow."
"Look, we already have one thing in common, we will become very good brothers, Xiaya!" Lear laughed, patted Xiaya on the shoulder, and suddenly said in a cold voice: "This Bitch loves acting the most! She acts every day, every moment! She's a bitch, but I have to say, her acting is fucking good! At least she cheated a lot of people, even me Her uncle has been deceived by her! Oh, by the way, I believe you must have heard the story of her praying to the gods to have a child? Hahahaha, you will really believe that a person like her will really Sitting in a religious prayer room for three days and three nights without rest, without eating or drinking? Hahahaha... What a fucking liar!"
Lear's tone was full of sarcasm: "I mean, it may be possible to not eat or drink for three days and three nights! But I know her temper. This kind of woman is for her own beauty or to maintain her figure, don't say It's been three days, and she can go without food for five or six days in a row! But! But! Remember, it's absolutely impossible for a 'noble' like her to not take a bath for more than a day! So... stay and pray for three days and three nights In the room... I don't fucking believe it!"
Char smiled... This guy speaks like a bastard, but I have to admit, this bastard is really funny - very "fuck" funny.
"General Lear..." Char frowned.
"No no no, call me Lear! I thought we were already friends." Lear laughed.
"Okay, Lear!" Xiaya touched his chin: "I'm a little confused now, what do you want from me? An ally? Or do you want my support?"
"No no no, my friend, it's so boring to talk about! Let's talk about something more interesting. For example, the thirteenth way to drink... Or, let me tell you a few secrets, the toilet in my house There's a dart board with that bitch's name written on it, hahahahaha…”
…
That's how the meeting lasted all night. It was not until the middle of the night that Lear's guards sent Xia Ya back to his residence, because Lear himself was so drunk that he could not walk steadily.
Back in the room where he lived, after Xi Ya drank a bowl of thick hangover soup, he let out a long breath.
Dora's voice came from my mind: "Don't you think it's strange? This Lear..."
"I know what you want to say." Xia Ya nodded: "This guy first appeared suddenly during the day, appeared in a tough attitude, and then openly attracted me in front of the governor's wife, and met me at night. But I thought he was going to talk to me about some conditions in the evening, at least some deeper conversations... But the whole night, we were like two drunkards hanging out together, doing nothing serious, and he didn't do anything. Covering up calling the Governor's wife a 'bitch' in front of me, this guy…”
"I can't see through this guy." Dora's voice was a little unclear: "The words he said to you at night are really shallow. I mean, this guy has no depth, even if he wants to win your support He, too, can be more beautiful. The words he said to you have no bearing at all. He doesn't look like a person who can do big things. This guy is an alcoholic and a bastard. You think such a thing , could it pose any threat to that brilliant governor's wife?"
Xiaya listened to Dora's words, but this time he didn't agree with Dora's point of view: "Maybe... this is where he is smart."
"... What?" The mother dragon was a little puzzled.
"The Governor's wife is very inscrutable... Or let's put it bluntly, she is very hypocritical! Hahaha... If it is compared to bearing and acting, this Lear is indeed far worse, so he is very smart to show it from other aspects. He himself... Indeed, his performance tonight was very vulgar, even a little shallow, a little bit of a bastard. But... As he said, many people eat the way of the Governor's wife, but, I have to admit, there are also some in this world. A lot of people, just eat Lear's way! You may think his performance tonight is rude, but some people will think that he is very frank, although rude, but he looks very kind! Dora, you don't understand , Many people, especially men, especially the middle and lower rank officers in the army, often act like the standard politicians of the governor's wife, or drink a bottle of fine wine with a few hundred gold coins and hold silver cutlery, Talking to you in a deep voice - low-ranking officers in the army, those guys don't like it! It's this Lear, he's showing these vulgar, laugh-out-loud, indifferent swear words, full of 'bitch', Alcoholism, gambling - often a lot of low-ranking officers eat him, you know? This Lear is actually very smart! He knows where he is good at. If he is more connected and more fundamental than the Governor's wife, then he is completely It's a dead end! But he knows how to develop his influence in the middle and lower ranks of officers, with the support of a few old ministers of the Besta Military Region... I think, even if he can't fight the Governor's wife, but at the right time, give It's entirely possible that the woman finds some trouble."
Dora seems a little confused - it seems that this clever female dragon doesn't know everything.
"Actually, pretending to be coercive is a realm." This time, Xiaya smiled mysteriously: "Deliberately pretending to be deep and unpredictable is certainly a route. Deliberately pretending to be rude and heroic is also true. One line! This Lear... is very smart! Tonight he didn't say a word to win me over, he just showed me himself, and at this point, he showed enough patience! You think, if he really just Would a vulgar bastard have such patience?"
After a while of silence, Dora suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Char... You have grown up a lot."
