Chapter Fifty-six Night Banquet Deep Talk (2)

Ida smiled bitterly: "It's nothing, that person is just my fellow countryman, let's chat for a few words."

Hearing this, Carlo was a little confused. He had met the captain several times. Although he didn't know the name, he knew it was born in the king's capital. How could he be a fellow villager with the herdsmen born in the grassland of Ida?

Even so, Carlo did not expose it. Looking at Ida's expression, you can tell that he has his own difficulties. According to Kalo's understanding of Ida, ordinary herders cannot have rich knowledge. Ida is also a person with concern.

The two of them didn't say anything, but walked slowly side by side.

After a while, Ida sighed slightly and said, "I don't know what you think of the noble's illegitimate son?"

These inexplicable words made Carlo understand Ida's identity and explained how Ida, a herder, had such rich knowledge.

Carlo smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't believe it if you say it. I'm also the illegitimate child of the noble, and I'm the child born after the affair of an unmarried noble lady."

Hearing this, Ida looked at Carlo in shock. He really didn't expect that Carlo, a tough soldier, had such an unreputable background.

Carlo glanced at Ida and pointed out: "I am not that lucky. After the noble lady gave me, she gave me to the farmer's family to raise. My knowledge was learned in the army, especially after being saved by the princess, and I learned a lot from the palace."

Everyone knows Carlo's past, just like an ordinary soldier, I don't know a single word before joining the army.

Hearing this, Ida didn't know what he thought of, his face returned to normal, and then he seemed to remember something and asked anxiously: "What do you think of your biological parents?"

Carlo was silent for a moment, his tone was a little distant, and he said as if he was recalling something: "I don't resent my biological mother. After all, she is an unmarried girl and it is impossible for her to raise me to grow up."

Ida hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Then your biological father..."

"Haha, that's a person who can do everything for family honor. After he knew my existence, he sent people to assassinate me several times, hoping to erase me, a guy who might have lost his reputation. Otherwise, would you think a brigade leader could be sentenced to death at will?

"I could not resist him, but my life was good, so I escaped several disasters. My adoptive parents who raised me were angry and died." After speaking, Carlo's words were a little deeper.

"It's so cruel. How could there be such a person?" Ida said gritting his teeth.

Although he was not recognized by his family, no matter what, the family cultivated him until he grew up and never had the idea of ​​getting rid of him. In comparison, he was really lucky.

Carlo smiled and said, "Hehe, this is the case with a nobleman who is very proud, because such a thing is enough to let their opponents pull them down from the top. But that guy didn't have a good ending. When he followed the king to the border to express condolences, all his direct bloodlines were taken away."

Ida's heart was thrilled. At least those who could follow the king to the front line were all people above the earl. He couldn't help but say anxiously: "So, isn't you the only one in the direct bloodline of that family? Then you can..."

Carlo waved his hand and interrupted Ida's words: "No one knew my existence except that guy, and my biological mother died early, no one could prove it.

"But what does the origin represent? So what is the identity of an illegitimate child? Speaking of which, Lord Cons is also an orphan, but has become the commander of the brigade commanding tens of thousands of people? I, Carlo, I, Carlo, I, don't live until now, and the same will happen in the future!"

When Ida heard this, her face nodded with a serious expression.

Carlo might have found the atmosphere a bit dull, and changed the topic: "How is the cavalry corps organized? If it is all organized, it will be very troublesome to command."

"Well, I followed Lord Cons' method and asked them to recommend the team leader by themselves, but it was different from us. They fought to the point of fighting for those places. Many people came to me and hoped to take a walk." Thinking of the ugly appearance of the team leader, Ida couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, they are all old officers, and their wish to be promoted is much heavier than those of us soldiers. If they want to recommend this, I don't know when it will be a result. It's not good to be harmonious if they are hurt by the time. It's better to let Lord Cons come forward to set the rules." Carlo said.

Ida nodded: "Yes, because of the direct chief, there is already a stalemate between the wing and the wing. It seems that Lord Cons really needs to come forward."

Carlo suddenly shook his head helplessly and said, "Speaking of all, we are so idle. Originally, Isna didn't want to accompany him to make her rest in a foreign land, but he was fine, so he actually ran to the cavalry corps to practice riding horses.

"If the military doctor hadn't concluded that Lord Cons had recovered from health, I would definitely have to commit the crime and lock up Lord Cons."

Ida said helplessly: "There is no way, Lord Cons is like this, but he is really powerful. In the first few days, Lord Cons' riding skills were not as good as the elite of the winning cavalry corps, but now it is no longer comparable."

Carlo smiled and said, "I don't know if you noticed it? Lord Cons originally wanted to forge chain riding, but unexpectedly made the cavalrymen of the cavalry corps very convinced him. After all, no one has ever seen a commander who is equal to the level of a legion commander who can practice at the grassroots level, and riding is better than those of them who eat and drink with horses."

Ida suddenly said with anger: "Of course we know that lords are just practicing riding skills, but the captains of the corps are sarcastic and said that lords' behavior is purely a show and is a bribery! It's really outrageous! He is above and no matter how alive or dead he is below, he dares to speak nonsense. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

"Don't worry about those guys, they are of no use anyway, but I heard that they are cursing their soldiers everywhere in order to canvass the votes."

"Haha, this is true." Ida agreed with a smile.

The conversation between the two came to an end. After all, both of them shouldered heavy burdens and there was no possibility of having a comfortable conversation.

Tomorrow is the day when Isna is leaving. That night, under the arrangement of Ida and others, a city will be opened to become a city that never sleeps.

The wine was brought by the Cavalry Regiment. Due to the small amount, a lot of water was mixed. Although it was much lighter, the soldiers who had not drunk alcohol in the past six months were still very satisfied.

Led by the local snake, the soldiers went deep into the jungle to catch hundreds of big wild boars, put them over and set them up to grill them, and the bread that the farmers helped to bake was picked up in baskets. The soldiers and people who had not tasted the meat for a long time smelled the fragrance and swallowed their saliva.

Originally, the officers were only going to hold a farewell party inside, but Isna asked the people to attend together, so the first time in the history of the Qihong Kingdom was the military and civilians to have fun together.

When night fell and the bonfire was lit, everyone started to revel in the carnival. The officers were a little reserved, but the soldiers worked hard to show themselves, some sang, some danced, but more soldiers fought.

There is no way to do this. Most of the ignorant soldiers can perform like fighting. However, seeing Xiaoqin, the cute maid, laughing at them, feel that it is worth it to be beaten to the point of being beaten to the bruised face.

Isna secretly looked at Cons sitting beside her.

Cons did not cheer as much as others, but from his eyes he was attracted by the lively atmosphere.

A warm feeling surged in Isna's heart, and she was attracted by these atmospheres, which showed that Cons was not a cold person, but why did the kings rumored that Cons was a ruthless murderous devil? You should know that in this era of melee, such rumors were not harmful at all.

Isna couldn't help but sigh in a faint sigh when she remembered that it was the first time she had been here in so many days.

I have been here for so many days and haven't said anything privately to Cons. I will go back to the capital tomorrow, and I don't know when I will meet again.

Thinking of this, Isna suppressed her shyness, threw the girl's reserve aside, and asked proactively, "Cons...How are you reading words?"

"Oh, I'm really sorry, sir, the ignorant, and what I recognize is what the sir taught me last time." Cons felt very guilty.

Although he spent the past six months in combat and had no time to study, he still felt that he had failed the expectations of the great priest, and also blamed himself for being lazy, otherwise he would not have made any progress.

Isna wanted to say something comforting, but as soon as she said that she became: "Well, you have to persevere in learning such things. Work is not an excuse. You can ride a carriage while you are on the road, so that you can study on the carriage, or squeeze out time to study during the gaps between work.

"I have taught you the knowledge of enlightenment. As long as you master these basic knowledge, you can learn by yourself." When Isna closed her mouth and cursed herself in her heart, she had already taught Cons some methods of self-study to Cons.

"So that's how it can be." Cons nodded after being taught.

Although Isna ordered herself in her heart not to talk about official topics, she couldn't help but be very serious as soon as she opened her mouth: "Cons, I believe you also know how much the princess is trying to cultivate you. Although she didn't say it, I have the responsibility to tell you the truth."

For some reason, when he heard these words, Cons' heart suddenly jumped, and he listened carefully to Isna's words with a serious expression.

"The princess can be said to be in a time of internal and external troubles. Outside, not to mention that millions of square kilometers of territory have not been recovered, but the Black Rock Empire is eyeing it. The last time our country was able to take a breath was because the emperor of the Black Rock Empire suddenly died and the army temporarily retreated and waited for the new emperor to appear.

"But after the new emperor ascends the throne and stabilizes the situation, it will definitely be a life-and-death battle to destroy the country. In addition, the princess is the future queen on the surface, but in fact, the princess now has no internal power, not only does not have internal power, nor does it have military power, let alone financial power."

"Ah! Why is this happening?" Cons looked unbelievable.

I remember when I saw the princess’ performance, rewards and punishments were all in my mind. No one dared to disobey him. Why did he become like a puppet in just over half a year?

Isna explained: "The main reason is that the civil servant controlled by the queen is two-faced. The order issued by the princess cannot be conveyed at all. Then the city lords in various places of the queen faction. The lords seized taxes without authorization, and the tax paid in the end was a drop in the bucket. Even maintaining the salary of officials was very difficult, forcing the princess to use the private warehouse to maintain the operation of the palace."

"The tax is actually seized? This is an illegal thing. Why doesn't the princess send out the army?" Cons was extremely surprised.

It is not uncommon for civilians to be arrested for paying less copper coins. Why are these city lords seizing taxes from the entire area just like nothing happened?

Isna said helplessly: "Oh, I have said just now that the princess has no military power at all. All the power to mobilize the army is in the hands of the generals in the military headquarters. Even the mobilization of these 10,000 cavalry soldiers are called the formation of an imperial guard, and it was obtained by coercion and temptation to select it myself.

"Not to mention mobilizing the army to confiscate the city lords who seized taxes. Now, the only troops in your hands belong to the princess in the entire Qihong Kingdom."

Cons was silent for a while. He didn't expect that a future queen would have to be humble and mobilize the army.

Thinking of this, Cons asked, "So what instructions does Your Highness the Princess have to give to the Lord?"

"It's very simple. While conquering robbers and bandits, you need to train soldiers. When you recover this area, you will have tens of thousands of elite soldiers. At that time, you will use the victorious army and return to the king to shock everyone. The princess will ascend the throne and truly manage this country well."

Isna's tone was a little excited. These things were discussed with Alice and she thought that the country was in chaos, which must be the reason for the fall of the monarchy.

Originally, Cons was worried that he could not complete the princess's mission, but he didn't expect it to be like this? He didn't dare to guarantee anything else, but the matter of recruiting bandits and training soldiers was implemented from the perspective of the king capital. I believe that with the help of Carlo, Ida and others, there should be no problem.

Cons breathed a sigh of relief: "Please report to His Highness the Princess, the emperor will definitely complete the task."

"Yes, when expanding troops, keep the superficial brigade number and don't make it bold tomorrow." Isna reminded.

"The Lord understands." Although Cons said this, he sighed in his heart.

It would be a bit troubled if Zhang Zhan could not expand his troops tomorrow. When the troops had five legions, would the actual commander of the legion or the team leader be the leader? I really don’t know how to refer to it.

Isna originally wanted to say something, but when she saw Cons pondering something, and the banquet had come to an end, she could only sigh secretly. Although she was regretful in her heart, she stopped talking.hf();
