Sitting in a room that looked a little shabby, Char met the prime minister of the empire, Lord Sarum Bonelli.
Compared with the status of the prime minister, this house is really too shabby. There are no luxurious ornaments, no precious utensils. This is clearly an ordinary study. Just on the desk, piles of documents and sundries.
Xia followed the young official into this place. This is a block near the palace. It is said that this mansion is temporarily requisitioned by the Imperial Administration - anyway, most of the original owners have died in the war.
Although Osgilia has been taken back, the entire city has been harassed. It is really unbelievable that the prime minister of the empire should handle official affairs in the government government of the empire, but after the rebels entered the city, the government government of the empire has already been destroyed. Now, most of the buildings have been burnt down. The rebels have done this very thoroughly. After the rebels entered the city, those official departments and warehouses were basically the first targets to attack. They were basically burnt to the ground.
The only thing that has been preserved intact is the military headquarters of the Empire. After all, what the rebels say is still a Byzantine military system, and it is still necessary to leave some incense. It is said that the military department is the most complete.
Even the huge statue of Duke Tulip outside the gate of the military headquarters was not damaged in any way. The rebel leader who occupied the military headquarters also sent a team of people to protect the statue, and no one was allowed to destroy it.
No matter when, as long as they are within the military system of the empire, no one dares to offend the military meritoriousness of the founding father.
- But the rebels are polite to the military, and they are unscrupulous to the government departments of other imperial capitals.
I heard that the government office has been burnt to ruins, especially the house of the prime minister Sarum Bonelli has been turned into ashes. No matter it is valuable or worthless, it has been transported to nothing. This prime minister used to be a He is famous for collecting art and antiques, and there are quite a few treasures at home. As a result, once the war was over, the prime minister was truly ruined.
After the restoration of Osgilia, the Prime Minister himself had no place to live. I heard that His Majesty the Emperor made an exception and allowed the Prime Minister to temporarily live in the palace. This kind of gift and appreciation is a privilege that the empire has never had since the founding of the country. I even heard that the emperor said that for the prime minister's personal economic loss, the emperor is willing to transfer some things from the palace's inner treasury to compensate.
However, these were politely rejected by the prime minister. The prime minister said: The empire has suffered losses to nobles, ministers and people. The emperor can't just compensate me. If you do this, you will favor one over the other, and you will lose people's hearts.
Such a loyal prime minister who considers the emperor naturally makes His Majesty Garcia more trustworthy.
This temporary government office is located near the palace, because the young emperor has summoned the prime minister too frequently these days, as if he could not leave the prime minister by his side for a moment. For this reason, the government can only be set up next to the palace, to save the prime minister from the hard work of going back and forth.
Of course, our Char would naturally not know these details.
Before meeting the prime minister, Xiaya actually didn't have a deep understanding of this Lord Sarumbonelli, and he didn't even have the slightest impression.
For nothing else, it is because the prime minister of the empire has always been unremarkable before this war. In the past, the previous emperor only trusted Caviehir, whose name was commoner, but exercised The power of the prime minister, the real prime minister is just a decoration.
After Caviehir's death and the chaos of war, the prime minister finally got the opportunity to show his talent. In the place of war, he sat in the imperial capital, calmed people's hearts, and handled government affairs. He really showed his strong ability in government affairs, and he was indeed quite a prime minister, and he was very convinced by the prime minister who gave orders in danger .
In the government government of the empire, many officials used to be the direct descendants of Caviehir. Caviehir has been in power for many years as a commoner, and most of the government is his disciples or people who value promotions.
After this Lord Sarumbonelli officially took power, he did not carry out any cleaning. Instead, he generously accepted the entire team left by Cavie Hill, and he trusted him well! He quickly convinced those old members of Kavy Hill with his practical ability and personal charm!
If nothing else, this skill and bearing alone is enough to make people admire!
…
When Xia Ya walked into the study, the young official accompanying him cautiously went out and closed the door.
Sarum Bonelli was still sitting behind the desk, with a monocular lens on his face, holding a document and looking at it carefully, when he heard Xi Ya come in, the old prime minister just raised his head with a slight smile on his face, The smile was kind and gentle, and he said slowly, "Lord Xia Ya, please wait a moment, I will finish reading this thing soon."
After a pause, he raised his hand and pointed to the chair in the room: "Please take a seat, there is water in the bottle. If you are thirsty, you can pour it out and drink it yourself. This government house is temporarily rebuilt, and everything is still very simple, which makes the general laugh."
His attitude was very polite, and even Xiaya was a little surprised by his politeness.
After all, he is the prime minister of the empire. From the point of view of his status, he is already an extremely personable minister, under one person, over ten million people! And he is only a general's official position - there are so many generals in the empire, and the prime minister's polite attitude towards him makes Xia a bit uncomfortable.
Xia Ya responded casually and politely, then sat down and waited. He quietly looked at the old prime minister, but unexpectedly found that the other party was really looking at the document attentively, not deliberately putting on airs in front of him. .
Sarum Bonelli watched for a while, sighed softly, put down the thing in his hand, took off the monocle, rubbed his eyebrows, and smiled bitterly: "Oh, there is a mess everywhere, There is nothing to worry about.”
Xia Ya is also well-behaved, and immediately said something funny: "The prime minister is working hard on state affairs, which is admirable."
Salon Bonelli looked up at Xi Ya, with a strange look in his eyes, and said lightly: "I heard that General Xi Ya has always been brave and forthright, but I didn't expect to learn this kind of officialdom too. Hehe, here with me, you don't have to be so polite."
Saying that, he stood up, walked around the desk, walked in front of Xia Ya, and sat on a chair next to Xia Ya.
This move made Xia Ya feel a bit of goodwill immediately.
It's a gesture! If the prime minister was sitting behind a desk and talking to himself, then he would be visibly posing as if his superiors were admonishing their subordinates.
But the prime minister left the desk and sat in front of him, but there was a faint taste of equal dialogue.
The prime minister put his posture so low, but it made Xia Ya feel more and more curious.
But that good feeling just surfaced, and it was immediately suppressed by Xia Ya himself!
He didn't forget! The reward of the title and fief that gave him a headache came from this prime minister's handwriting!
Thinking to himself, Xia Ya couldn't help but quietly looked at the old man in front of him.
Salon Bonelli's appearance is very handsome. He must have been a romantic figure when he was young. Although he is old now, he is well maintained. He was so tired, his face was pale, his lips were not full of blood, and he was a little too thin.
But apart from that, the demeanor and bearing of this Sarum Bonelli was quite good. In the peace, there was a natural affinity that made people want to get close to him.
After coughing, Xia Ya said slowly: "I don't know if the Prime Minister summoned me, what's the matter?"
Sarumbonelli smiled and said slowly: "What's the matter? Actually, there is nothing special. But General Xia Ya, you are a foreign minister. When you come to the imperial capital, I, the prime minister, will first summon you to ask about local government affairs. the usual practice."
Speaking of this, the old man himself also showed a somewhat self-deprecating smile: "But now the place is still fighting, there is no government affairs that the old man needs to ask me. It's just that I have been listening to General Xia Ya's prestige, and I just took advantage of it. Take this opportunity to meet you and see what kind of a hero he is, and he has taken care of all heroes like Manninger."
Xia Ya immediately said cautiously: "It is the life of the entire army to annihilate the Chixue Army. And Manninger did not die in my hands, but in the war. He died of illness himself, and it was not my work."
Sarumbonelli nodded: "Well, young people know that being modest is a good thing, but General Xia doesn't have to be overly cautious. With your current credit, it's the first part of the empire in hundreds of years. Can't be erased."
Immediately, Saron Bonelli casually exchanged a few words with Xia Ya. It was nothing more than asking about the current situation in Moor County and other places in the north, and also asked some things about this war to annihilate the Odin Chixue Army. Xia Ya also told the truth. When it comes to the wonderful things about the war, the old man couldn't help but clapped his legs to applaud, and said loudly, "The Odins have always been arrogant. In the future, their arrogance will not dare to be too arrogant! General Xia, you have made great contributions to the empire this time!"
Then the topic turned into a very casual chat, and the Prime Minister asked Xia Ya a few very casual personal questions, such as Xia Ya's age, family situation and so on.
Xia Ya answered cautiously, but he was strange... Could this prime minister really be idle and bored and bring himself to chat? How old is I, Xia Ya, what's going on at home... These are my personal information, the empire has documents to check, but why ask me again in person
Just thinking about it, Salon Bonelli suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "I heard that General Charya hasn't married yet? I wonder if this rumor is true?"
Xia Ya instinctively frowned, pondered a little, and said slowly, "Not bad."
He originally wanted to say something about the poor man, but then a thought flashed through his mind... The poor man's identity is not an ordinary girl, after all, she is also the identity of the princess of the Byzantine Empire, although it is not an official princess, but it is Cousin of Emperor Garcia...
Although he said that he was definitely going to marry a poor man, this matter had to be handled carefully—at least for now, it would be inappropriate to say it directly in front of the prime minister.
When it comes to matters related to the royal family, and my own people are still in the imperial capital, it is best to keep a low profile.
Seeing Char's nodding, Saron Bonelli showed a smile on his face: "General Char, you became famous when you were young, and now you are a hero of the empire. Although it is right to serve the country, but your own The marriage can't be delayed, I heard that all the elders in your family are gone, what about this, if you don't dislike it, this old man of mine has some ideas."
Xia Ya was immediately stunned!
ah? Is this old man going to tell me that he is coming? !
When Xia Ya was in a daze, the prime minister had already said with a long smile: "General Xia Ya is an important general in the army, and it is not unusual to marry a wife. You are now the duke's honor again. The future duchess, you need to find a suitable candidate. That's fine. I have an idea... I heard that General Adric, the Minister of Military Affairs, has a daughter who has been studying under Lord Caviehir. The leader, the tiger girl of the general door, is a good match for you, the new hero of the empire..."
General Adrick's... daughter? !
Xia Ya was confused.
He had never heard that General Adric had a daughter!
When the old prime minister said this, he looked at Xia Ya with an expectant look on his face, with a very kind smile on his face.
Xia Ya took a deep breath, and after passing what she wanted to say in her stomach, she said slowly: "This... I thank the Prime Minister for your concern for me. It's just... This is about getting a wife... Hey, don't hide it. My lord, I already have a place in my heart, this time when I come to the imperial capital, I am going to get married when I return to the station, so I can only accept the prime minister's good intentions."
Sarum Bonelli listened, his smile did not diminish, but there seemed to be a strange light flashing in his eyes, and he said slowly, "Oh? I don't know which family Mr. Xia is going to marry... "
"It's an old friend." Xia Ya said lightly: "We have shared weal and woe together, and have experienced life and death together. Except for her, I will not marry any other woman."
Sarumbonelli listened and knew that Char was unwilling to elaborate, so he nodded and sighed: "If that's the case, that's fine... Well, it's just a pity, I thought General Char, you and Adrie. It's a good thing for Lord Ke's daughter to marry."
After the old man said this, he changed the subject, but Xiaya obviously felt that the prime minister was a little absent-minded and his attitude was much more casual.
He immediately understood that it turned out that the prime minister had summoned him mainly to talk about his own marriage... After this important event was finished, the prime minister did not have the leisure to chat with himself.
Xia Ya understood the Prime Minister's meaning, and immediately stood up: "The Prime Minister is busy with official business. If there are no other things, I will not dare to delay your time."
Salem Bonelli smiled and stood up to say goodbye: "General Char, walk slowly."
Xia Ya politely left, but when he walked to the door, Sarumbonelli seemed to feel that his actions just now were a little too superficial, so he casually said one more sentence: "By the way, General, His Majesty will be summoned in a few days. At that time, in the palace, you and the people from the Besta Military Region will all accept His Majesty's appointment together."
When Xia Ya heard this, she just smiled. She didn't intend to say anything at first, but suddenly a thought flashed in her heart, and she suddenly remembered what the governor's wife said to herself before entering the city...
Xiaya immediately stopped and looked back at Sarumbonelli: "… Well, the Prime Minister, speaking of the Besta people, I have some thoughts, but I just said it, but I'm afraid it's not quite right."
As soon as the Prime Minister heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his squinting eyes!
The old man took a deep breath: "General, please say it."
Xia Ya seemed to hesitate for a while, pondered for a while, and then slowly said: "Besta Military Region, originally a member of the Red Round Table, although the sincerity of surrender is not doubtful, but after all, it used to be a rebel army. Your Majesty Being generous with the prime minister and promising them to surrender, it shows the tolerance of the empire. However, I privately think... use is to be reused, but after all, for those who have just descended, for the sake of safety... it is best to quietly guard against it. That's good. If you just reuse it, but don't have any means of restraint, then the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away... Hey, Prime Minister, I don't think this is the way to use people."
After listening to Xia Ya's words, Salon Bonelli was obviously a little surprised, but the surprised eyes were quickly covered up by him, the old man's face was calm, he looked at Xia Ya twice, and said lightly: "Lord General It's not unreasonable to remind me, um, these words, I wrote down."
Immediately after the two politely said goodbye, Xia Ya left the study door, and someone outside naturally led Xia Ya away.
After leaving this humble temporary government office, Xia Ya came outside, and when he got on his horse and walked back surrounded by the guards, he suddenly heard a voice of emotion coming from the back of his mind.
"Good trick! What a prime minister, hehe!"
That voice was Dora.
Xia Ya frowned: "What means?"
In her mind, Dora sneered: "I said that this prime minister is really not easy. You kid, you have been tricked by others, but you still don't know it, hum. If you compare strength, is this prime minister, ten thousand If an old man is tied together, he can't be your Xia Ya's finger. But if you think about it, you stupid boy is only a little smart, but you can't keep up with this old fox even if you beat a horse."
Xia Ya was still at a loss, and Dora said unceremoniously, "Boy, you have been overshadowed by this prime minister!"
Xia Ya raised her head. At this moment, she was walking on the street on horseback. The guards around her were far away from her, so Xia Ya was relieved and said in a low voice, "What the hell is wrong? You can clarify."
Dora sighed, and then said slowly: "It's the thing that wants to match you and General Adric's daughter to marry."
"Huh?" Xia frowned.
Dora continued: "He proposes a marriage, but you refuse. I can guarantee that this matter will be deliberately spread by him soon! At that time, it is rumored that you, General Xia Ya, refused to marry General Adric's daughter... Hehe , What do you think will be the consequences of such rumors?"
When Xia heard it, she just smiled: "Are you trying to stir up discord? You want to create a rift between me and General Adric. This little trick is useless."
He is naturally certain that he has the utmost respect for Adrick, and regards him as a father and a teacher in his heart. Adrick also appreciates him very much. How can the relationship between the two be shaken by this little trick
"Small tricks? Hey! It's this kind of small tricks that make people a headache."
Dora heard Xia Ya's disdain, and said lightly: "Indeed, with your friendship with Adrick, this matter is not enough to break the relationship between the two of you. But the problem is, after the rumor spread, even though Adrienne Derek won't be angry, but what about the others? There are so many generals, so many characters in the army... Anyone who hears the news will only understand it literally, only that you, Xia Ya, refused to marry him. Derek's daughter! Others, others don't know so much! Even if Adrick doesn't care, maybe others will be unfair on Adrick's behalf! Some people may even think that you, General Char, are too much You are too proud! Although you have made great achievements, your seniority in the army is still low. You are too proud of General Adric's daughter, aren't you? Spreading it out is not good for your reputation. it is good."
Xia Ya's expression really moved.
Dora continued: "Your empire, in this war, the military's forces have been re-divided. The military's forces, the center of the empire is naturally headed by Adric! The guards who guarded Osgilia this time. Army, many officers have to be promoted after the war. In the future, they will be the backbone of Adric's reconstruction of the Imperial Army! In the future, if these people have opinions on you, will your life be really comfortable? The most important thing is that you can't even tell the loss!"
"What?" Xiaya smiled bitterly.
"Because Adric can't defend you yet." Dora laughed: "After all, you refused to marry his daughter. It's not fake. Even if Adric doesn't mind. But as the Minister of Military Affairs, he The leader of the imperial army, he can't always ask others to explain this matter when he can't see anyone, right? He can't always pull over to explain this matter to his subordinates one by one. It's not your fault, Xia Ya Yunyun ... So, you dumb loser, it's a decision Understand."
Xia Ya pursed his lips, thinking to himself, this thing is as Dora said, it's really disgusting...
"Well, to put it bluntly, it's just a little trick. It just makes people think that I'm arrogant, and I'm not hurt. I didn't really lose anything." Xia smiled bitterly.
"Indeed, it seems that your loss is actually not big." Dora said lightly: "But the problem is, the means of this prime minister!"
Dora's voice gradually became serious: "Think about it, what did this prime minister pay? He didn't pay any price! You have dealt with the matter of getting that fief before, and now he has made this trick! He paid What's the price? There's nothing! Just asking you to come over to meet, say a few words politely, and move your lips, and you will be presented with such a big problem! Such a skill! It makes people jealous!"
Xia stayed for a while!
That's what happened.
The prime minister has given himself such two big problems, but the prime minister seems to have paid no price.
This kind of old oilman who is in the political arena is really not easy!
※※※
After Xiaya returned to his residence, just after entering the door, he heard his subordinates say that Ruhl came to visit and knew that Xiaya was not there, so he waited in the living room for a long time.
Xiaya immediately strode in and met Ruhl.
Ruhl didn't wear a military uniform, he was dressed in plain clothes, and he looked even more bloated. When he saw Xi Ya, he came up to hug him and said with a smile, "I heard from your subordinates that you were called by the prime minister to meet? That old guy and What did you say? Be careful, that prime minister is a smiling tiger who eats people and doesn't spit out bones."
When Xia Ya heard it, she smiled wryly: "Yes, I also saw it today. This old man laid a trick on me without any hesitation."
Xia Ya had a good relationship with this fat man, and he didn't hide it, so he told the experience at the prime minister's place, and then smiled bitterly: "Why didn't I know that General Adrick has a daughter?"
Hearing this, Fatty stared at Xiaya with wide eyes. After a long time, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahahaha!! You kid! It's a good thing you came out of the Rodriguez Army yourself!! You used to be Adric's bodyguard. People! You don't know about this yet! You don't know about Adric's daughter..."
Fatty laughed enough, and Xiaya just said with a bitter face: "How do I know what daughter the general has..."
Fatty's expression froze immediately, and he said slowly: "This trick is a bit troublesome, even if Adric doesn't mind, but the people around him, his subordinates, and the rest of the military, I'm afraid they will all stay in their hearts. You, Xia Ya, have the impression of being domineering and arrogant. You are Adric's old subordinate, and you are so arrogant that you don't even want to marry Adric's daughter. If you say it, I'm afraid everyone will think that you have a bad character... Hehe. "
Xiaya patted his head: "I don't care so much! I will go back to More County in a few days! I don't care what the people here think of me!"
The fat man rolled his eyes and said slowly, "Actually, in my opinion, it's not bad for you to marry Adric's daughter... Why did you refuse?"
Xia Ya said sternly: "I said, I already have a fiancee, and my feelings for her will not be shaken! There is no room for negotiation on this matter."
"Well... In that case, I also have a way." Ruhl suddenly slapped his thigh: "Haha! Yes! That prime minister is smart, but I'm not stupid! Boy, I have a way to help you resolve this trick! How do you thank me?"
"Oh?" Xia Ya's eyes lit up. Although he didn't care much about other people's evaluations of him, he was still a little unhappy after being tricked by the prime minister. Hearing Fatty said there was a way to resolve it, he immediately paid attention: "You Speak!"
"Ten boxes of Zaku natives' tobacco!" Fatty smiled and opened the price.
"Bah!" Xia said angrily: "Do you think the tobacco of the Zaku people is vegetable leaves? It's everywhere? Now the war is chaotic, and the goods are out of stock everywhere! A box of authentic Zaku people's tobacco is produced in some places. It can be exchanged for a box of gold! You fat man must be too greedy."
Xia Ya resolutely said: "I'll give you one box at most! If you have more, you won't need to talk about it! I have to keep other tobacco and sell it for military expenses! Do you think I raised tens of thousands of soldiers without spending money!"
"Okay." Luer replied with a smile: "A box is a box! But I want the best quality goods, so you can't use inferior products to perfunctory me."
Xia Ya nodded: "It's a deal! Hurry up! What's the way?!"
Ruer said leisurely: "Don't you just don't want to marry Adric's daughter? And you don't want to make people think that Xia is forgetful and arrogant... Then it's simple! Don't you do it for refusing marriage, let Adric do it. Just do it! You talk to that guy Adric in private, and after you have discussed it, find an opportunity to call the generals in the army another day, everyone will get together, and then you will be in front of everyone. Come on, ask Adric for a kiss! Adric rejects you again in public, so that you don't have to marry his daughter, and everyone won't think that you are arrogant. At most, you are rejected in public. Just a little face."
Xia Ya's eyes lit up: "Sure enough, it's a good idea! It doesn't matter if you lose face if you are rejected in public."
In fact, this thing is really simple, the main thing is that a person who refuses to marry is different!
If Xia refused to marry, it would be a loss of face for Adric. On the contrary, it is Xiaya who loses face. He had great respect for Adric in his heart, and naturally he would rather lose face.
Xia Ha laughed but didn't laugh, her heart was happy, but Ruhl sighed: "Actually... Adric's daughter is really good, her talents and looks are all first-class! Hehe, and she is also extremely beautiful! If you really marry Now, it's not bad. As for whether you already have a fiancée, it doesn't matter! Your identity is different now. You are a general of the northern garrison of the empire, and you are a duke. Even if you have a group of wives and concubines, no one will tell you. what are you?"
Xia Ya just dealt with it at will, and Ruhl saw that Xia Ya did not have any intentions in this regard, so he stopped talking.
That night, the two of them drank a little wine at will, and got very drunk.
Xiaya had this matter in mind, so he simply entrusted it to Fatty—after all, he was a little guilty of letting him go and discuss this matter with Adrick himself.
Shouldn't let the turtle go to Adric and say: Let's play a show! I beg you in public, but you refuse in public...
These words are really hard to say. The fat man in front of him is a ready-made lobbyist. Anyway, he came up with the idea, so he might as well just leave it to the fat man to do it. With the friendship between Fatty and Adrick, only he can speak such words.
The next morning, Fatty was kicked out by Char and asked him to see Adrick.
Xia Ya waited at the residence. After waiting for a day, she did not wait for the emperor's summons.
That His Majesty Garcia, do you still want to put on the air for a day
After Xia Ya thought about it, she didn't care anymore. Anyway, since she had already given face, she might as well give it to the end.
But in the afternoon, Fatty came back and told Xiaya: It's done!
Adrick has already nodded and is willing to accompany Char in a play.
Fatty also said that as soon as he went to tell Adric about this, General Scar was actually a little moved. Adrick even really got into his thoughts. He felt that marrying his daughter to Xia would really is a very good choice.
It's just that since Char himself didn't mean it, then Adric just gave up.
Fatty got the message, and said: "The party is scheduled for tonight! Adrick is going to call the generals in the army tonight, thinking that this war is a celebration, you can join me to participate, in front of this At the party, you mention your request and Adric rejects it in public, and this is the end of the matter."
Xia Ya was fine at night anyway, so he naturally complied, brought a few guards, and rode away to the military headquarters with Fatty.
This party is set up in a restaurant in the Imperial Army.
The defenders suffered heavy damage this time, but those who survived are considered elites who have been tested in blood and fire! These people are the backbone of Adrick's future reconstruction of the military.
Adrick didn't like extravagance, and the arrangement of this party was very simple. It was nothing more than a lively gathering of generals in the dining room of the military department.
There is a shortage of supplies in the city, and the food is not very good, but there is still wine and meat.
They are all straightforward men in the army, and the arrival of Xia Ya was also warmly welcomed by the generals of the defending army.
The emperor above is at odds with Xia Ya, and the officers below don't know about things at that level. I just know that Xia Ya made a great contribution and actually killed a legion of the Odins!
The army all respect heroes, let alone such a young and promising character like Char? Besides, he is also Adric's old subordinate, so everyone counts as a family.
Xia Ya participated in this party, the scene was extremely lively, the men in the army were drunk, and they fought for days. A tough guy!
Not afraid of death, let alone drinking
Even though Char's naturally large wine barrel was filled with five or six points of drunkenness.
Adrick himself is also very emotional. Now these people are all struggling from the line of death with one hand! These people are the pillars of the future imperial army!
There was a lot of trouble in the middle of the night. Seeing that the wine was drunk and the food was swept away, everyone was having a good time. Adric was also blushing, sitting there, the scar on his face seemed to be crooked. to the side.
Fatty quietly kicked Char, and Char immediately understood. He picked up the wine glass and strode in front of Adrick.
Adric also looked at Char with a smile, and even quietly winked at Char. Both of them understood in their hearts and knew what Xiaya was going to do next.
"General, I toast you." Xia Ya said loudly, "I am your old subordinate! Without your cultivation, I would not be where Xia Ya is today! In my heart, you are the person I respect the most!"
Adrick smiled: "You have the ability and you can make great achievements, but you don't rely on others. If it is a straw bag, no matter how much I cultivated it, it is impossible to have your achievements! So proud!!"
Saying that, the two of them drank a cup of each other. Xia Ya blushed, coughed hard, and said loudly, "General, I have one more thing, I want to ask you..."
When he said this, everyone else was quiet. The dozens of key officers in the army who were present were watching Xi Ya and Adrick drinking each other, and listening to Xi Ya suddenly asking for something, they all voted in. Curious eyes.
"Well, tell me." Adrick nodded, and there was a strange look in his eyes. Looking at Xiaya, his expression seemed to be a little bit like a smile instead of a smile.
When Xia Ya had a bottom line, he said loudly, "General, I know that you have a daughter, and I'll ask her to be my wife!"
As soon as these words were said, the audience suddenly fell silent!
There are countless eyes around looking at Xi Ya in surprise. After a moment of silence, there was a burst of laughter and shouting.
"Haha! Good boy!!"
"Kid has a kind! Haha!"
"Sir, promise him! This kid is not bad! He must be a good son-in-law!"
"Not bad, not bad! The boy is brave enough! To beg for a kiss in person, he is a man!"
"Haha! The boss has become a father-in-law! The kid has a future!"
The sound of good-natured laughter came from the surroundings, all of which focused their attention on Char and Adrick.
Adrick looked at Xi Ya, his eyes became more and more weird, and then finally, he stood up slowly, raised his hand... The surrounding uproar suddenly quieted down. Everyone looked at Adric with a smile.
Adrick took a deep breath, looked at Xiaya, his eyes were very gentle, and said slowly, "Xia Ya, do you want to... marry my daughter?"
"Not bad." Xia Ya bit the bullet and thought: Hurry up and refuse... Hurry up and refuse...
Adrick nodded and said slowly: "I have been in the army all my life, and I have cultivated many young people. Speaking of which, you, Xia Ya, are the most promising one among them. The most rare thing is that you have a pure and generous nature, and you are also generous with others. .But... Speaking of my daughter, I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. She is not very close to me as a father. It's always been my whole life in the army. She hasn't received much care from me since she was a child. Speaking of which, when I was Adric's father Daughter, I have really suffered for her... I often think to myself, I have served the country all my life, and the biggest regret in my heart is that I am sorry for my daughter... "
Everyone around was looking at Adrick.
Adric suddenly picked up another glass of wine, drank it all at once, then slapped the glass on the table, raised his head, stared at Xi Ya with serious eyes, and said word by word...
"Okay! Xia, I promised you! You must treat my daughter well in the future, otherwise, I will not agree!"
boom! ! ! !
There was a sudden applause around, and many people rushed over directly, some drinking, some pulling Xia Ya, and some directly pulling Xia Ya to make him kneel down and call his father...
Char…
Char…
Xia Ya has been completely stupid! !
Since Adric's words came out, Xiaya's mind has gone blank, staring straight at Adric, his eyes are dull, and his heart is like thunder!
When others saw it, they only thought that the young hero was too happy and froze, and no one would be surprised.
Xia's own stomach was about to cry! !
accepted? !
accepted? !
Adrick actually agreed? !
God! ! Don't play with me like this! ! ! !
