Chapter 1026 The Gap Is Obvious, You Need to Be Cautious when Crossing Banks (Four Thousand Five)
Victor has been feeling a bit depressed lately, yes, because Josiah got married. ¢,
Don't get me wrong, as the leader of the Gray Army's personal bodyguard, he is nearly middle-aged, has a wife and daughter, and a harmonious and happy family. Naturally, he will not have any undue fantasies about Josiah like those young people. Furthermore, because of his status and profession, he knew everything about Josiah in detail, and he knew very well how terrifying the man who held the beauty in his arms was! It is no exaggeration to say that if you dare to pry into that man's corner, nine lives will not be enough to die...
The real reason why Victor was so upset was just because the news of the marriage came too suddenly, too hastily, and too casually!
He clearly remembered that a month ago, when he followed his leader Josiah to leave the north bank of the Lenau River and walked out of the Northern Wilderness Army Camp, Josiah, who was somewhat silent, suddenly asked him casually, when was the last good day? when? Victor remembered that he was a little confused when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he honestly replied that today, one month later, life is good.
Then, the wedding date was decided, and he was responsible for the overall planning of the wedding...
Victor's shock and astonishment at that time could no longer be described in words. You must know that when the time comes, Josiah's status will be enough to be equal to King Bran and the Queen of the Northern Wilderness. And for such a character to get married, the significance can be imagined!
Fortunately, Victor has seen big scenes, and it is his job to serve his direct leader, Josiah. So soon after returning, he collected countless relevant information through various channels, and convened professionals in the field again and again to discuss, debate, and overturn one after another... In the end. He carefully selected several wedding plans. Place it in front of Josiah with confidence.
Then. There was nothing more...Josiah was stunned for a moment and immediately killed all these plans. Then she apologized to him in a dumbfounded way and made a request - she wanted to make it simpler.
Although Victor was a little frustrated when his hard work was not recognized, Josiah's subsequent request also made him truly relieved.
As long as the leader sets the tone, everything will be easy to handle.
With this thought. Victor once again confidently organized relevant personnel to discuss and debate... Soon, he came up with several concise and elegant plans.
This time, Josiah didn't kill him. He just couldn't help but laugh even more bitterly. He simply asked him directly, how do ordinary people hold weddings?
After hearing this, Victor truly understood how 'succinct' Josiah's words were!
As for such a whimsical idea, Victor naturally rejected it without thinking.
This is not to say that Victor wants to be extravagant and extravagant. In fact, he is completely thinking about Joshua. The latter is now the master of a country. She was also the first queen who created the world. Under such a legendary halo, there are some things that she can no longer make the decision on her own.
Don’t say anything else. Let's talk about this wedding. It must be recorded in detail in history, passed down from generation to generation, and studied and praised by future generations.
If Josiah's wishes were followed, then when future generations looked up this period of history, they found that the scale of the legendary Queen Josiah's wedding was not even as large as that of a rich country man... How could it be so embarrassing? !
Therefore, one should act with emotion, act with reason, argue with reason, and speak righteously... Victor was frothing when he spoke, and Josiah nodded repeatedly when he heard it... And just when Victor thought he had finally After winning the persuasion and dispelling the other party's unreliable idea, and just as he was relieved, Josiah suddenly blinked and asked - wouldn't it be easier if we just invited two people at the table to have a meal?
…
Change the concept! This is cheating... In the front yard of the former Shanhai City City Lord's Mansion, I looked at the wedding scene that I personally planned and arranged. It only took a few people to move the wooden tables and chairs, and there was not even a red carpet. One thing, Victor couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh, filled with resentment.
At this moment, "Hey, hello, chief." "Here you come, chief..." "Happy wedding, chief..."
Amidst the continuous laughter and blessings, Victor turned his head and saw Josiah, who was dressed in plain robes, walking in from the outer courtyard with a smile, nodding in return in the crowd, looking in a good mood... his face suddenly darkened, and he strode away. He went over and waved to disperse, "What are you all doing here? Have nothing to do? You, go to the kitchen and take a look. You, go and watch outside... cheer up for me. If there is any problem today, I will ask you!" "
"Haha, Victor, don't be nervous. It's just a marriage, no big deal." Looking at Victor with a dark face, and then at the crowd of people around him who instantly dispersed, Joshua didn't seem to be the person involved at all. Self-consciously, he spread his hands helplessly, shook his head and persuaded.
I didn't want her not to say it was okay, but when she mentioned Victor, she instantly became angry. Otherwise, what does it mean to just get married? ’ What does ‘no, what, what, big, nothing’ mean? ’ Victor only felt infinite sadness for himself for a moment, and he felt a sense of aggrievedness and depression similar to that of an emperor who was not in a hurry but a eunuch who was in a hurry to die...
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, "Chief, it's time for you to change your clothes... I won't talk about the wedding scene, but I can't explain it to you. But no matter how simple it is, you still have to wear a wedding dress?"
"Put it on, put it on now." Knowing that the middle-aged simple man in front of him had almost reached the limit of his patience, Josiah immediately nodded his head in a benevolent manner after hearing this. As he spoke, he was about to retreat, "Oumeng Did the old marshal send someone to invite him? He is not in good health. Remember to use my carriage when you go to invite him."
"Okay... by the way, chief." Victor suddenly thought of something and stopped him and said, "Mr. Mai just sent someone to send a message that he wants to attend the wedding. Do you think... do you want to add a seat?"
"Mr. Mai?" Joshua was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly. As the veteran in the tavern said before, this wedding is really low-key to the extreme. A few of Tang En's brothers and friends, and Josiah's elder family members, together, there are only more than 20 people, who will sit down Two tables. Senior officials such as Mai Lao had already said hello before, not inviting anyone, and not setting up a seat at all... Hesitantly shook his head. "It's not good to add another location. Otherwise, it will be difficult for others to explain..."
"Mr. Mai is coming. He probably wants to plead for mercy for his grandson who was riding horses and hurting people in the city a few days ago."
"Then come back, no invitation!" Hearing this, Josiah frowned even more. Without hesitation, he waved his hand to refuse and scolded displeasedly, "If this kind of thing happens again in the future, I will stop it. We will It’s the Gray Army. It’s not the decadent Bran Empire… Even if it becomes decadent in the future, it will never be like this in my hands!”
"Yes!" Victor's expression suddenly froze when he heard this, and he solemnly accepted the order.
Raising his hand, "Okay, I'll go find Tang En. You are busy with your work, thank you for your hard work..."
…
In the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, when Josiah came to find him, Tang En, who was dressed in serious clothes, was explaining something to Harry in the courtyard. Then he looked up and saw Josiah walking in with a smile, and his words immediately stopped. He waved his hand perfunctorily and made a summary.
"That's it for now, keep an eye on it."
"Okay, boss." Harry nodded in response, then turned around and saw Josiah with a flattering smile on his face, "I've met my sister-in-law, I'm so happy today, Harry would like to wish you a hundred years of marriage first, and then I'll give you my best wishes as soon as possible. Let’s add a little boss. Haha…”
"Little boss..." Josiah chuckled meaningfully, "Isn't that already there?"
"No, oh, the baby over there is a girl...ahem..." As soon as the words were spoken, Harihan came down. Damn it, this bitch...
That's right, after escaping from the Temple Association, Xia Wei'an successfully gave birth to a baby, a girl, shortly after, and mother and daughter were safe.
Such a happy event is naturally worthy of celebration, but even Tang En, who is a new father and is overjoyed, usually does not dare to express it in front of Josiah. After accidentally mentioning it, he quickly changes the subject with a haha. . But I never thought that on this special day, Harry would actually let it slip...
Seeing Josiah's expression dimming instantly after hearing this, Tang En put his hand on his forehead and wanted to strangle Harry, the unlucky child, immediately. The latter undoubtedly felt this resentment and murderous intention, and he did not dare to raise his head, saying that he had something to do, and ran away in confusion.
"It turns out it's a girl, have you given a name?" In just a short breath, Joshua adjusted his demeanor and approached Tang En as if he didn't care, "By the way, you just said to keep an eye on it... What are you staring at? Could it be the person who is in poor health after giving birth? Oh, it doesn't matter. If you are anxious, you can go over and have a look. I don't care..." He spread his hands and showed great magnanimity. but,
Haha, believe you, my life has been in vain... Tang En touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "I misunderstood, it's not her..."
"Not her? Oh..." Josiah suddenly touched his hands and seemed to really understand, "I just heard that, for some reason, since early this morning, that person has been sitting on the front line and personally leading hundreds of thousands of tribal troops. Stop attacking the Branlenau River waterway checkpoint, like crazy, never stopping for a moment...Are you caring about her?"
"..." Tang En's bitter smile was a little stiff, and he unconsciously raised his hand to clasp his temples, "Well, let's talk about the topic just now."
"What was the topic just now?" Josiah raised an eyebrow, "The one who just gave birth to the baby?"
"Huh... you really misunderstood. The person I asked Harry to stare at was not her." Taking a long breath, Tang En felt like he was about to cry, and quickly explained, "She is an old acquaintance of ours, and especially yours." Best friend and old friend.”
"Best friend and old friend? Mine?" Joshua pointed at himself in confusion, with a puzzled face.
Tang En nodded: "Well, from Laiyan City... Haha, I haven't heard the name of this place for a long time. Thinking about that time and meeting you there, it is really worth remembering."
"Laiyan City... best friend and old friend..." After pondering for a moment, Joshua's eyes suddenly lit up, "Betsy! It's Betsy, right?" Faced with the surprised look, Tang En smiled and nodded again, "Really It's her! Haha, she's here too! When did she come? Why didn't she come to me..."
"I came here a few days ago and have been staying in Shanhai City." Tang En smiled and spread his hands, "Maybe he wanted to find a suitable time to bless us."
"Really? Where is she now? I'm going to find... En?" After a pause, he looked up at the faint smile hanging on the corner of Tang En's mouth. Josiah's voice gradually lowered and he blinked inexplicably. Not many people are fools, at least not Josiah. After the initial surprise, some memories of the past came flooding back.
"I remember... Betsy's brother, Bevin, died in your hands..."
"Remember? I have a good memory." Tang En shrugged, "But to be more precise, it was the two brothers and Bess. Although he committed suicide, the hilt of the knife was indeed in my hand at the time."
"Then Betsy is here this time..." Seeing Tang En spread his hands helplessly again, it goes without saying that Josiah's expression suddenly changed and he said anxiously, "But there was a reason for everything at that time. It was clearly Bevin who wanted to do it first. It was bad for you, and you injured your friend, so you fought back and killed him... No, I have to find that silly girl now and stop her from doing something stupid."
"Oh, don't always look at people in the same old way. She is not stupid now." Pulling Josiah, who was about to turn around and leave, Tang En smiled and shook his head to appease, "I only found out after receiving the intelligence information. She is now She is not a pampered aristocratic lady, but a business woman who is the backbone of the family and has a bright future. Well, let’s take this matter as an example..."
"I just said that she has been in Shanhai City for several days. Do you know what she has been doing during this time? She was planning... First she found out about our marriage, and then decided to take action. The first person she contacted It was Obus, the younger brother of your second uncle, who pretended to meet her by chance in a foreign land, and then used this to ask Obus to take her into the city lord's palace, where we got married, and she is familiar with the terrain..."
"Why...Obus never mentioned this to me?" Joshua frowned, thinking of something, and his expression gradually became ugly.
Tang En was slightly stunned when he saw this, and then he couldn't help laughing, and raised his hand to smooth the hill between his eyebrows: "It's not as serious as you think, and Orbus didn't mean to collude with outsiders to harm my brother-in-law. In fact, it's just that It's just an excuse. For Betsy, who is traveling around now, it shouldn't be too easy to fool a stupid boy like Orbus. For example, she said she wanted to give you a surprise, so she asked Orbus to keep it a secret for the time being... It's easy, isn't it? ?”
"No wonder he was hesitant to talk to me a few days ago. I thought he made a mistake and didn't dare to let me know...this stupid boy!" At this time, Josiah also remembered the relevant memories, and couldn't help but feel angry and funny at the same time.
"Ha, it's a good thing that my brother-in-law is stupid... Ahem, let's get down to business. With the help of this stupid boy, Obus, Betsy has been in and out of the city lord's mansion several times, and she has a basic understanding of the situation here. And in the preliminary work such as collecting intelligence and familiarizing herself with the terrain, After finishing, the next step is to choose the time and method to take action. Needless to say the timing, it must be that he didn't run away today. Well, watching his enemy stumble when he is most proud, the scene is very enjoyable to think about... …”
Close your eyes, open your arms slightly, and empathize with the breathing fantasy. Tang En's movements and expressions at this time seemed a little excited and a little abnormal in Joshua's eyes... Is this an occupational disease?
"I really didn't realize that the big-breasted and brainless old lady from the past would actually have the talent to become my colleague. People should not be judged by their appearance..." He shook his head with emotion, "As for the choice of assassination method, I guess it is poisoning. Hmm. , if successful, there is also the possibility of making up for it with more than a dozen swords to take revenge and vent your anger."
"How to deduce?" Actually, what Joshua wants to ask Tang En is, seeing that you said it so calmly and naturally, are you sure you know that the person who may be stabbed more than a dozen times is you?
"It's a simple inference. I'm not boasting. With my now famous and infamous reputation in the mainland, other than poisoning, she should know that she has no hope of success. And it is worth noting and worthy of being ordered. What people admire a little is that all the above actions were completed by her alone without any helpers. Well, she was probably worried about not getting approval, so she didn't even trust the family guards she brought. In this way, her strength She is humble and wants revenge, so she has only poison left to go. But..."
After a pause, he shook his head and said, "Although acting alone eliminates the possibility of being exposed due to infighting, she has appeared in public many times and has naturally come into the eyes of Slender Monkey and the others. Only then was she discovered... So, a professional is a professional. Yes, those who have become a monk halfway are those who have become a monk halfway. The gap is obvious, so you need to be careful when crossing paths..."
