Chapter 146 [The rustic bully shows off his power]

"What the hell does this mean?"

Xia Ya was also stunned.

For some reason, someone came to the door to give such a big gift? Then he didn't say a word, turned around and left without even giving up a fart.

Fuck, is there such a good thing in the world?

Looking at the pile of golden lights on the ground, Xia Ya pinched her chin with a little toothache.

Affrey Carter, who was next to him, stayed for a while, then let out a long sigh, looked at Shaya, and smiled bitterly: "It seems that the rumors in the past are true... Alas, I just heard of this, and I have never had the chance to witness it with my own eyes. As a person, I am not qualified to come across these things. I didn't expect that I would encounter them today."

Shaya turned her head and said, "What did you say?"

Afrey Carter smiled first, then made a gesture to Saut. Saut immediately went over and closed the gate of the yard. Afrey Carter squatted down, grabbed a handful of gold coins, looked carefully, and sighed quietly: "I have been fighting to death for life and death in the arena for many years, and I have never made so much money. You, sir, have just shown your side today, and you have a lot of money. Haha... I really sigh when I think about it."

Xia Ya smiled and said, "What the hell is going on? Depending on your appearance, you must know."

Afrey Carter smiled and nodded, then said seriously: "Legendly, this is the usual style of these people's behavior. Although they didn't say anything, they actually expressed their meaning. The carriage that came had a badge, which was the badge of their chamber of commerce. As long as they were not fools, they knew who sent the money."

Xia Ya frowned and thought: "What do you mean is...has you hosted the chamber of commerce that has the right to bet on competitive competitions and gave me a gift?"

"Who can they be?" Affrey Carter shook his head and smiled: "This is also a routine, and it is not the first time they have done such a thing."

Then the wolf-tooth warrior patiently explained: "The empire's major chambers of commerce have a long history and are deeply rooted. The potential strength cannot be underestimated. Even those first-class wealthy nobles may all have a close relationship with them. This competitive competition was founded at the beginning of the empire's founding, and it has become a tradition today. How many business opportunities does the annual competition cause? These are all wealth. But even so, they need to be controlled secretly to obtain the greatest benefit - they have always been like this. I think you are the ones you said about "fraud" in the stands today.

It also understands the truth. Fraud is for profit, and manipulation is also for profit. In order to make competitive competitions more popular, several chambers of commerce often take special measures, such as in order to attract the attention of the audience, trigger gimmicks and fame, they often try to use shameful methods to attract some famous strong people to participate in the competition. Those real strong people are different from these warriors struggling in the fame and fortune. Those people are truly strong people standing on the cloud. If these characters can find one to participate, then the competitive competitions that year will change and be particularly popular, causing a sensation in the mainland and bringing unlimited business opportunities."

Xia Ya shook her head: "How can a real strong man fall into depravity and come to suffer such humiliation."

He couldn't help but think of the only strong man he knew: Hasting. With Hasting's unruly nature, even if he was in a bad mood, he wouldn't be willing to go to the stage to compete with others, and let someone spend money to buy tickets to come in and visit!

Afrecart shook his head: "The strong are also human beings. No matter how strong a strong person is, he will inevitably have relatives, friends, parents, wives and children. Many things cannot be decided by himself. Especially some strong people, although they are famous, they have no foundation and are hidden in the world. Such people are the targets of those chambers of commerce. If they are not capable of temptation, they will be coerced, and there is always a means to make people submit! Especially some strong people who were famous in the past but later aging were only an empty stance, but the fame of this empty stance is more important to the Chamber of commerce. Over the years, I have seen many such scenes: some famous masters in the past are old, but suddenly come to participate in the competition openly. If they are lucky, they will win both fame and fortune. If they are not lucky, they will die in the twilight and turn into loess..."

After pausing, Afrecart whispered: "Just three years ago, there was a famous swordsman in the empire. He had reached the ranks of level 9 warriors. He was nearly 60 years old and had already retired, but suddenly appeared in the competition that year! This man used to be indifferent to fame and fortune, and he refused to surrender to recruit many wealthy nobles. However, he suddenly participated in the competition with a high profile, which was puzzled. Later, after all, he was old and his strength had declined too much. As a result, he was killed on the ring in the main competition... The tragic situation at that time made people sigh!"

After pausing, Afrecart whispered again: "Later, I heard a news that the old sword master had an only son, who was mediocre, but under the temptation of some people, he had both wine, sex, and poison, and finally caused a big disaster! He implicated the old sword master. Under the pressure of some people, he had to come forward to participate in the competition for his son. The final loss was also a deliberate sign of weakness, which made the chamber of commerce behind him earn enough money. But he did not expect that those guys were so cruel that they actually took advantage of his weakness in the ring. The opponents attacked him too much, and seriously injured him, and finally took his life! His son was not killed later, but he was wandering in the slums in the south of the imperial capital, living a life of crazy and stupid all day long..."

When Xia Ya heard this, she sneered repeatedly, looked at the gold coins on the ground, and snorted: "Oh? Could it be that these guys gave me money and made me think that I wanted to participate in the competition to make money for them?"

Afrey Carter laughed: "With your fame, you will hurt Odin Hasting on the battlefield. Such fame is no different in the empire! If you want to say your name, it will naturally be enough to make them moved. However, in my opinion, they are not the idea of ​​you.

You are different from the old sword master a few years ago. The old sword master is a civilian, and he is proud by nature and never willing to be recruited by wealthy nobles. Therefore, he has no background and is killed by others... But after all, you are now the baron personally named by His Majesty, and the military commander of a county. With great power in hand, he is a real-powerful person. With one move, he can mobilize a member of a party who can gather thousands of troops! Those dirty tricks of the chamber of commerce are just to bully some lonely and helpless masters. For those who are hard-witted backstage like you, you will never dare to make friends with people like you."

Afrey Carter thought for a moment: "So, I've been seeking death. Maybe you suddenly appeared on stage today and killed that Philip, and people recognized it - don't be surprised. With the power of these people, Osgilia said it's big or small, and it's not surprising that you are a sensation like you. I think the gold coins are just a meaning of making friends, and it's also a sign of weakness."

"What's the meaning?"

"That Philip..." Affrey Carter sighed: "Although I don't know much about things, I can guess how many points I think of Philip's character. Philip must have spent a lot of money to handle the game in advance. The person who arranged the competition in the chamber of commerce had colluded with Philip and made some tricks. And you suddenly showed up and stumbled, and then destroyed Philip, and directly broke their plan. If it were an ordinary person, I was afraid that he would be aware of his plan.

This caused a big disaster! After all, you have different identities. These people dare not provoke a powerful military figure like you, so they can only come to the door to please and show their weakness. The money sent is nothing more than one meaning: please don’t ruin their good deeds anymore. Giving a generous gift is considered to show weakness and ask for good. The so-called taking money and doing things with others. If you accept their generous gifts, you will naturally be embarrassed to continue to make things difficult for them."

When Xia Ya heard this, she suddenly realized, stared at Afrey Carter, and then laughed a few times: "It's interesting! It's so fucking interesting! I still look like a country bumpkin, and there are so many twists and turns in this matter. If it weren't for the explanation of you, an experienced old bird, I really wouldn't understand the mystery of these people fighting."

As he said that, he looked at the gold coins on the ground and smiled: "Damn it just to pay the protection fee! Well! Anyway, I was just on a whim today and didn't plan to cause trouble for these guys. I got a fortune for no reason. Hum... It seems that when I am short of money in the future, I will go to the competitive competition to make a fuss, and when I come back, I just wait for these people to send money to my house."

Affrey Carter was so amused and crying: "Sir... this, these people do things insidiously and cunningly. This matter must not be repeated. There is no need to make enemies with these people because of these small profits..."

Chara laughed and patted Afrey Carter: "I'm just joking. I can't hide from these villains."

In the next few days, Shaya was really bored and he had no friends in the imperial capital. General Adrick and Fatty left, and Green also went to More County to work in the imperial capital one step ahead of time. He was really idle and idle.

If you want to talk about acquaintances... Kavishil is a person, but even if the local bully eats the courage of the bear heart, he will never dare to come to provoke that mysterious old guy.

Every day he practiced Dodoro in the yard with Sharba and Kato, and made a magician cry.

Fortunately, Duoduoluo put away his lazy temperament this time, worked hard and was a good magician. In the past few days, he has gradually become a samurai-like sword.

Seeing Duoduoluo wearing a cowhide armor tailored for him (if the iron armor, Duoduoluo is afraid that he can't carry it.)

Xia Ya was also generous and gave Duoduoluo a piece of dragon scales as a heart-protecting armor.

Poor magician, he set his horse on his bow, dismounted his horse and danced his sword, was fully armed, wearing leather armor, as if he had a turtle shell on his back. Where could he have the slightest elegance and elegance of a magician?

Sharba and Kato are both cavalrymen and are impatient and inevitably become irritable when practicing.

"Hey! Duoduoluo! You are blind! If you don't cum if you are so big, why are you cuming at me?!"

Sharba cursed anxiously. It turned out that Duoduoluo had just tried an arrow, but he did not hit the target, but the arrow almost shot Sharba who was standing ten steps away from the target.

Xia Ya laughed aside, and then Dodoro practiced for a while, and Afrecart also taught Dodoro some of his agile body techniques of hand shadow sword skills.

But just as the backyard was working together to train the poor magician, Soit came in front of me to report: The palace envoy came to the palace to pass on the orders.

Xia Ya was stunned and left everyone to the front yard. When she saw that the person was coming, she was an acquaintance, the palace envoy who came to pass the order when she first entered the palace to meet.

Everyone is acquaintance. The palace envoy was particularly enthusiastic at the moment, not at all as arrogant as before. He even came up enthusiastically to hug Xia Ya and even refused to accept the golden cake that Xia Ya took the initiative to give.

"Baron Charia, if you do this again, you will insult me!" The palace envoy looked screaming and said, "I will help Your Majesty with his business, and I will not lack this little money wherever you go. I sincerely communicate with you, and I respect a hero like you. If you bring the money again, you will look down on me!"

Since he wanted to pretend like this, Xia Ya simply took the money and laughed.

"This, three days after your Majesty decides, that is, the day of spring, to hunt in the gardens of the eastern suburbs of the imperial capital. This time, the members of the noble council and the trusted generals of the royal city were invited. Your Majesty also added your name to the list! Baron Shaya, congratulations, at the annual hunting conference, those who can be invited have always been important ministers trusted by Your Majesty. Although you are not very young, you are so favored by Your Majesty when you first enter the imperial capital, and your future is unlimited! Your Majesty has been crowned as the emperor for decades. With your youth as you, being invited to hunt as a baron, you can be said to be the first person!"

The palace envoy gave a few more compliments and took out a gold badge: "This is the passive badge for the Hunting Conference. According to the rules, your baron status can only carry two entourages..." As he said that, the palace envoy smiled and whispered: "Your Majesty was shocked by his martial arts when he was young. He liked the heroes most. With your ability, you will show your heroes more at the Hunting Conference in the future. Your Majesty will definitely like it in your heart! The opportunity is rare, you should practice the archery and horse technique more in two days."

After the palace envoy left, Shaya took the gold badge in his hand and was stunned for a while.

Hunting Conference?

It should be an occasion where powerful nobles gather. What should the emperor summon a country boy like me?

After he turned back, he discussed with everyone. Unfortunately, the people around him, whether it is Salba or Kato, were all civilians. Although Afrey Carter had seen some world, he had never heard of such a top-level and core gathering. He could not agree on a single result for a while.

At night, Yulia, the widow of bald man Kevin, saw Xia's restlessness at the dinner table. After asking a few questions, Xiaya said. After listening to it, Yulia pondered for a moment before saying, "Xia, the emperor appreciates you. Although I don't know why, since I appreciate you, I mostly like your current qualities, so I think you don't have to do anything deliberately. What it looks like and what it is then. Showing your nature may be the best way."

When Xia Ya heard this, she felt moved and laughed, "Not bad! Yulia, you are right! What am I afraid of! If you ask me to go, I will go, ask me to drink and eat meat, I will let go and eat and drink, and ask me to hunt... Hahaha! Isn't that my old profession? Those generals, maybe their martial arts skills are better than me, but when it comes to hunting, which one is better than me?!"

As he said that, he looked at Yulia. Yulia was still depressed recently, but she had a child in her stomach, so she cheered up. Although she was laughing, her diet gradually returned to normal, which made Xia Ya feel much more at ease. No matter what, the bald man had a brotherly relationship with him, and he even died for himself. Even if he fought for everything, he would protect the safety of his orphan and widowed mother!

Three days later, at the spring hunting conference, the imperial guards sent by the palace came to pick up Xia Ya early in the morning.

Chara showed off her gold badge, brought Sharba and Kato as escorts, and after dressing it up, she set out with the team.

Today, Xia Ya put on his most exquisite armor, the one he had blackmailed in the war zone military headquarters, and there were three high-quality war horses, one by one. The bright and bright armor was polished to the shiny. The place where the sword was hung on the saddle was hung with a bare gun and a place where the sword was hung was hung as usual. The roar bow given by the Landis Guro was also carried behind him. Twenty iron-ridge armor-breaking arrows were inserted into a cowhide quiver behind the saddle!

The turtle was originally majestic and majestic. After wearing this armor, he was fully armed, with a face with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a simple bunch of black hair, which made him look even more arrogant. He sat high on the tall horse, looking at him with great power. The murderous aura that was edified on the free battlefield seemed to be the posture of a general who was determined to kill and decisive!

Even Sharba next to him was a brave man, but by comparison, he seemed to have less heroic spirit than Xia Ya. Kato glanced at Xia Ya and suddenly sighed.

Sharba frowned: "Hey, you smuggler, why are you sighing?"

Kato smiled and poked Salba: "Hey, Man Niu, do you see how Chara looks like... Back then, when we first met General Adrick! At that time, the general was not as old as he is, and he was full of heroic spirit. When people saw it, they couldn't help but feel awe."

The hunting location is in the gardens of the eastern suburbs of Oskilla, which is an industry passed down by the imperial royal family throughout the ages. It is half a day away from the city of Oskilla. If you are fast, you will arrive in two hours. Behind the mountain, there is a dense forest, surrounded by a small river, which is used as a natural protective zone.

Walking along the river into this forest, I gradually felt the vigilance. In just a moment, Xia Ya had already seen the three teams of imperial guards patrolling on horseback and back, all of whom were fully armed and ready to fight!

A large camp has been set up next to the forest, just like a marching army, with central tents, military camps and imperial guards gathered. The scale of the camp can accommodate at least a few thousand people. Obviously, the scene of the emperor's travel is naturally small.

In the camp, a field was opened in the middle, with eagle flags flying around, and teams of knights of the imperial guards guarding the surroundings. In the field, the imperial powerful people who were invited to hunt this time gathered.

Although Xia Ya has already put on the brightest armor, when she came here, the clothes of the heavy generals in the nobles and wealthy army were more luxurious and dazzling than the other. When Xia Ya came here, she suddenly became an inconspicuous country bumpkin again.

He was wearing only the general-level armor in the military, but when he looked here, he clearly looked like a guard.

He was young, and even though he walked in, looking at some young nobles in brocade robes and eager to try, which one would pay attention to him? Even if he walked past others, everyone just thought he was a general in the Imperial Guard.

The people standing here are either marquis or counts, and the duke's identity has also become the focus of everyone. He is such a small baron, no one cares about him, and no one asks who he is.

Occasionally, some young people of the same age as Chara are all noble, have extraordinary behavior, and are self-contained and ignore others.

Shaya stood aside and watched quietly for a while, without saying a word. The two sergeants Sharba and Kato had been led away long ago and were not qualified to stand here.

After waiting for a while, I heard a military call sound, and everyone was immediately excited!

Hearing the sound of horse hooves outside the hunting ground, a group of people came over, facing a tall, pure black war horse. It was obviously a one-of-a-kind virtuous horse. The war horse ran up its hooves, but the saddle was extremely stable. It rushed to everyone. The horse looked at it, and naturally had a faint power!

The person who is on the horse is Contos' "Emperor of the Armway"!

The emperor was wearing a cotton robe in a colorful cotton robe and a thick fox fur scarf. Although he was wearing soft armor under the robe, he could not hide his tiredness on his face and his pathology could no longer be concealed. Although he was still skilled in controlling the horse, he needed someone to support him when he dismounted.

Behind the Emperor, a young blonde man with blond hair was following him, handsome and noble, and his every move was full of majesty and etiquette. He wore a gorgeous retro paladin armor with fluttering blonde hair and snow-white gloves. He was the crown prince Garcia.

Afterwards, a team of cavalry covered in evil spirits followed closely. When Xia Ya saw these cavalry, she suddenly felt a trembling heart!

But he didn't know that these cavalry were the "dark night royal guards" he had seen on the wildfire field! The most loyal dead soldiers in the hands of the emperor!

After the Emperor of Armour dismounted, he stood on the platform and looked at the people below. These were the imperial nobles who finally became the royal family, including some powerful generals in the Eagle. Unfortunately, the Duke of Minas, the spiritual leader of the Eagle, was old and sick, but he did not attend this time.

The emperor stood on the stage, his eyes flashed for a moment, and clearly saw the young man he admired at the end of the crowd - Xia Ya, standing at the end, keeping a distance from the nobles in front of him. Anyway, others ignored this inconspicuous young general, and only thought he was a role such as a deputy general in the Imperial Guard.

Seeing Xia Ya separated from these noble groups from far away, the emperor felt a little satisfied.

Very good. This kid is here for the first time in this kind of occasion, but he knows how to behave and has no abilities to make friends. It's great!

Clearing his throat, the emperor's hoarse voice made a very short speech: "I'll hunt today, as usual! Everyone works hard, and if there are dazzling performances, I will reward you without hesitation! Go! Show my Byzantine bravery!"

The young nobles below were already ready to go, and when they heard the emperor say this, they immediately responded. Some had already received instructions from their elders in their families to show their strength. They wished they could immediately carry their wings and immediately jumped on their horses to show their heroic posture and bravery, and their skills were overwhelming the whole audience and made a good show of the show.

The crown prince Garcia was silent, standing behind the emperor, maintaining sufficient demeanor.

Then, there were naturally officers from the Imperial Guard coming up next to him, waving the eagle flag, and after a horn, the hunting will begin naturally!
To be continued...
