"What? Want me to marry the princess??"
In the huge government affairs hall, the shouts of the two hundred and fifty generals were so loud that even the windows were buzzing. The guy jumped up, almost touching his head to the ceiling.
The fat on Longbottom's face was ridiculously squeezed into a ball, he shook his head violently, and waved his hands again and again: "No, no, no! This is absolutely impossible! Absolutely, absolutely impossible!! This kind of thing, I can't even kill me!" Do it... If you can't be beaten to death, let alone do it!"
Du Wei sighed, and comforted the top general under his command: "My general, this is a good job! You have seen our Princess Louise, isn't she beautiful enough? I can tell You, in the imperial capital, the young aristocrats pursuing her can line up from the gate of the palace to the other side of the Lancang Canal! Besides, she is the regent's younger sister, with a noble status and a proud daughter of the royal family, isn't she worthy of you? ... We urgently need to stabilize her now. If we want to get a woman, what other way is more direct and effective than marrying her home and teaching her what I want?"
Longbottom was unmoved at all: "If you can't, you can't! My mother...a princess, I can't afford to lose weight! Besides, with my body and my age, I don't think it's suitable... What's more, , I don’t like to deal with nobles the most in my life! If I marry a princess, wouldn’t I fall into the nest of nobles? No discussion! Absolutely no discussion! It won't wrinkle. But this kind of work... ****, the technical content is too high! My old Longbottom can't do it!"
What Longbottom said was extremely firm.
I marry a princess? What a joke!
My two hundred and five generals were born big and thick, with big arms and round waists, and a strong back. One meal can drink a leather bag of spirits plus a catty of beef! With my physique and weight, the entire army can find a horse that can carry me, it's enough! With such a slender body like that of Princess Louise, I crushed her to death casually. Still marry back to be a wife
What's more. In Longbottom's heart, the royal princess. It should be sitting in the palace, in the melodious tune, and those sissy noble youths with pale faces and powdered faces. Talking and laughing in low voices, tasting tea, talking about the weather, art and other hypocritical and elegant topics, and then the interest came. You can also stand up with the music and perform a graceful court dance...
Even if Longbottom was beaten to death, he would not be able to bear that kind of life!
Seeing General Two Hundred and Five shaking his head like a rattle, Du Wei lost his temper. But Philip felt a little trembling in his heart—this unlucky mission. If Longbottom doesn't do it, I'm afraid our Lord Duke will throw it into his hands again!
no! Absolutely not! No matter what, you have to push Longbottom out!
"General. What if this is a mission!" Philip said slowly.
Longbottom was silent for a while, and his face became serious. After thinking for a moment, he still shook his head: "Sorry, Mr. Duke... I still can't agree. And, have you forgotten? I already have a wife!"
As soon as this word came out. Both Du Wei and Philip fell silent.
It's not for anything else, just because... this matter, in fact, many counselors and generals in the tulip family understands that it is a hidden pain in the heart of the two hundred and five generals!
In fact, Longbottom did have a wife in his early years. It is said that there were, and that wife was married when he was young. Later, he was ordered to be stationed on the grassland, so he left his wife in his hometown... It is said that her wife also came from a wealthy family in her hometown.
It is said that Longbottom was very kind to this wife. He often boasted: I, a big bastard, can marry such a beautiful girl, it's like pie in the sky!
Therefore, it is said that Longbottom, the 250th general, is not afraid of anything, but he is the only one who obeys his wife and is submissive in every way.
And after he was transferred to the Northwest, he knew that the Northwest was bitterly cold, so he left his wife at home and left a large amount of valuable family property—however, he is also a general of the Empire, and he is still quite rich .
Afterwards, Longbottom continued to write letters to his family and sent people to deliver various things. At the same time, he occasionally rushed home to visit relatives during his vacation.
One thing is, once heard that his wife was ill, Longbottom ran for six days and six nights and killed four horses, and drove home after a long-distance gallop. Hurrying desperately, as soon as he got home, the two hundred and five generals, who were as strong as an ox, collapsed, and as a result...he himself fell seriously ill instead!
But then, Longbottom married another wife on the grassland—of course, according to the laws of the empire, it was just a concubine.
That incident is also a famous deed of the 250th General: At the beginning, he served as the leader of the 20,000 cavalry stationed on the grassland. Under the means of dividing and wooing, he also became famous on the grassland. In that alliance marriage between two big tribes, in order to destroy the unity of the grassland tribes, Longbottom deliberately led people to intercept the sending procession, and then brutally demanded to see the bride's face... According to the customs of the grassland, of course It is impossible.
Afterwards, as everyone knew, Longbottom deliberately let the poor chief's daughter fail to marry, but in the end he married the chief's daughter himself. There is also a famous rogue language left behind: Isn't it just a few freckles on the face, and I look just ordinary! Hmph... don't let me see? Why not let me see? Can't marry after seeing it? good! That's easy, I'll marry her! Take it back and I will look carefully, see enough! Look at it however you want! At night, I stripped naked to see the whole body! Hold!
As a result, this incident led to General Longbottom's second marriage... a somewhat political marriage.
Moreover, in fact, everyone later found out that Longbottom's methods were a bit rogue at the beginning. But for this foreign wife in the grassland, it is actually very good. Moreover, relying on the big part behind this wife: Yuan comforted him submissively, this kind of skill made Du Wei couldn't help sighing when he saw his deeds later! So talented. But was framed by those villains in the imperial capital!
The good times didn't last long, and Longbottom was dismissed from office because he offended the dignitaries of the imperial capital, and was arrested and returned to the imperial capital for trial.
At this time, his little wife on the prairie, the chief's daughter, had been waiting for him for a long time. He even asked for a large amount of property from the family's tribe and sent it to the imperial capital. Help Longbottom with the lawsuit and clear the joints.
It's a pity that Longbottom offended the dignitaries because Longbottom broke their business of selling weapons to the grassland privately, so despite spending a lot of money, Longbottom was still convicted and imprisoned in the prison of the Imperial Supervisory Office...
Fortunately it is. After that large amount of money was spilled, it had some effect—at least it saved his life.
If he hadn't met Du Wei, Longbottom would have continued to live in the prison of the Imperial Supervision Office, or would have been imprisoned until he died. Or, wait another ten or twenty years, when the new emperor encourages and pardons the world, maybe when he comes out. Too old to walk.
The so-called "people walk tea cool", this sentence can be applied almost anywhere!
When Longbottom had just been dismissed from his military post and returned to the imperial capital for review, it was in the early days. Everyone also felt that Longbottom had worked hard on the grassland for many years, and the empire would never kill such a meritorious general in one fell swoop.
At that time, many people believed that he would make a comeback soon. After all, a young general like him is talented.
Therefore, in the early days, on the grassland, because the influence left by Longbottom was still there, several large tribes with whom he had a good relationship were willing to pay money and goods under the lobbying of his wife, trying to help Longbottom get rid of the crime. .
But in the end, as the days passed, everyone gradually realized that this time, the 250th General might really be down!
So, gradually, the saying that people take tea to cool down is undoubtedly reflected!
What Longbottom never imagined, the first one to leave him was not the little wife from the grassland alien race! But the main wife who stayed in his hometown!
Longbottom was in prison and received a letter from his first wife. The woman told Longbottom directly in the letter: she asked for a divorce.
At that time, Longbottom just sent the messenger away calmly, and then he wrote back that night, agreeing to his wife's request for a divorce. After all, I have committed a crime now, and God knows what my future fate will be. This careless old man still loves his wife very much in his heart, and he agreed to the divorce because he didn't want to drag her down.
However, Du Wei learned a detail from Longbottom's most trusted direct subordinate, the al-Qaeda commander known as the "Little Two Hundred and Five", a detail that made Longbottom very sad: when Longbottom was imprisoned, the The concubine of the old man spared no effort to raise money everywhere, trying to rescue Longbottom. But in his hometown, the wife who was well-clothed and well-fed, didn't even say a word from the beginning to the end!
Not a word was said, not a letter was written, not a penny was spent!
It's just that a divorce letter was sent straightforwardly in the end!
From the beginning to the end, Longbottom never complained about his first wife. He believed that he was wronged by her. I have been working for the empire in the northwest grassland all year round, after all, I have neglected my wife at home. She is in her youth, how many women can endure this kind of perennial loneliness
However, among them, the little 250-year-old Al Qaeda also revealed a secret matter, which is rarely known to outsiders: when Longbottom was imprisoned and the trial of the lawsuit reached a critical moment, at that time, There was once an opportunity, because the old emperor Augustine VI who was in power at that time was so rejoicing, he launched a military expedition to Nanyang and spent a lot of military expenditure. The empire's finances were once very tight. So the old emperor issued an imperial order, that is, all criminals can pay for themselves to atone for their crimes!
At that time, as long as Longbottom could raise a sum of money, he might have a chance to get out. Even if he couldn't get out immediately, at least his sentence could be reduced a lot, and he might be able to get out after two or three years.
Unfortunately, at that time, the tribes on the grassland were no longer willing to pay any more. No matter how Longbottom's prairie wife returned to her family's tribe to beg, everyone felt that the 250th general had fallen, and no one was willing to pay.
As a result, several of Longbottom's trusted old subordinates ran back to Longbottom's hometown and asked his wife for help—at that time, the two had not yet divorced.
The one who ran there in person was the little two hundred and five Al Qaeda. Gaida was almost a subordinate trained by Longbottom, almost like Longbottom's half son—although the age difference between the two was less than ten years old.
As a result, when Al Qaeda talked about this matter, every time he hated it, his teeth itch! The little 250 said this: "Our general left a lot of property in his hometown! These are his savings for the general over the years! There is a manor, a fruit grove, and several big houses! That's right! We The general may be a little sorry for that woman! But we are soldiers who serve the empire and guard the border, who is not like this?! I hate that woman. For so many years, almost all the property of the general has supported her. She is well-clothed and well-fed at home. We drank northwest wind in the northwest! But something happened to the general, and she didn’t fart! When we ran back to our hometown, we said we needed to raise a sum of money to save the general! Do you know what that woman did to us?? She sent someone to kick us out! She also asked an old butler with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks to threaten us! If we don’t leave, she will report to the local garrison that we are robbers!! Damn it! Those property belong to the general ! It’s not that woman’s!!”
