Chapter 157 [The Duke's Decision](2/2)

Duke Minas suddenly stopped, and the surrounding family guards stopped together. The well-trained hundreds of cavalry guards, even if they suddenly stopped, had a strict formation and were soon dispersed around, forming a warning circle.

The old duke didn't say anything, just sat on the horse and looked up at the starry sky. The old man's old face looked complicated, but his old eyes that were usually muddy were shining at this moment!

Duke Minas suddenly sighed, turned his head, looked at his son with a guilty look, and snorted softly: "Rody, come here."

Roddy sighed in his heart: Here comes! He lamented in his heart, and could only ride a horse to slowly approach. He knew his father's temperament. If he had acted weakly and begged for mercy at this moment, he was afraid that his father would be angry, so he might as well be more upright and tougher. Instead, he would have a lower punishment for his father's appetite.

"Father!" Roddy sat upright immediately, trying to raise the courage in his heart, looked straight into the duke's eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What happened tonight was that I agreed to my friend's request... I made a mistake. I admit that you will punish me. I will never say anything if you beat or punish me!!"

The old duke smiled slightly, and his eyes seemed to see through his son's behavior, which made Roddy feel guilty. His heroic and sloppy look inevitably a little out of character, and his eyes also dodged.

After a while, Duke Minas said lightly: "Do you know where you are wrong?"

"Ah?" Roddy was stunned.

"Hmph." Duke Minas sneered and stared at his son's eyes: "What did you do today? Do you think you can hide it from me, the old man? His Highness Adeline begged you to lend the house to her and her lover for a tryst... Humph, this is a wrong thing, and I will slowly calculate it with you! But you shouldn't forget my strict orders. You don't use other houses in your house, but why did you use this?"

Roddy smiled bitterly and said, "It's not because... this house is the most remote place... ahem, father, that... me..."

The old Duke Minas frowned, looked at his son, and said coldly: "A man should act openly and honestly! I know that you have a good relationship with Adeline since you were a child. She has something to ask for you, and you can't bear to refuse. Hum! You are my son. Don't I know what you think of Adeline? Since you like her, you should fight for it loudly! Instead of doing this attitude! You help her meet her lover with your lover, why do this? Show your tolerance and generosity? It's ridiculous! Hum! Do you think you are a love saint! Isn't you?"

Roddy's face turned red, but she couldn't help but feel angry: "Father, I act openly and honestly, and you taught me! Adeline... She has never liked me in her heart. Since that's the case, why bother me and do such unbearable cowardly behavior?! It's not as beautiful as adults! It's just cruel to eliminate my own thoughts!!"

Speaking of this, Roddy's voice was a little excited: "I am your son and a dignified man of the Minas family. In this life, I will make a contribution first. Why not be unscrupulous in the future!"

Duke Minas was stunned for a moment, looked at his son, and finally nodded slowly: "It's not wrong to think so. Well... I never agree with you and Adeline... Humph, although your sister married the crown prince, the situation was not allowed to be rejected at that time. Now your sister is in a miserable life, which is also a matter of hatred in my heart." The old man said this, with a sad expression and sighed, and the sigh was filled with guilt. "Although marriage with the royal family seems glorious, it is not that simple after all! Besides, the identity of this Highness Adeline is complicated, and she is in the heart of His Majesty... Humph! I'm afraid that you really like her may not be a good thing to you. Since you have figured it out and willing to give up, that's the best!"

Roddy's face turned red, and she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

The old duke pondered for a moment, looked at the left and right guards, and suddenly asked in a low voice: "I'll ask you... You saw that boy named Xia Ya today, how about this guy?"

Roddy clearly felt that when he asked this, his father looked solemn, as if he attached great importance to the guy named Xia Ya?

"..." Roddy thought for a moment and finally said slowly: "It can be a great man!"

"Oh?" The old duke smiled, as if he had a deep meaning, and looked into his son's eyes: "You made such an evaluation just when you met him?"

Roddy took a deep breath: "He has been in a glorious place recently, and everyone knows what Your Majesty appreciates him. When I saw him, he was not arrogant or impatient, and when he went out... He said: Soldiers, don't take a car! Humph... Over the years, I don't know how many guys pretend to behave. Many people still look a little when they first emerge, but they will be taken away from being proud. However, this kid has really maintained his true nature, but it is not a fake. He is in the glory at this moment, and he can still maintain this true nature, just this one

Thoughts, never forget to be complacent! It is not easy to do this! With the appreciation of His Majesty, as long as he is not bad at his own ability, it is naturally not difficult to achieve success. And... I think he is not bad at his ability! Although it is just a joke to defeat Hasting, it is not easy to meet Hasting on the battlefield. Besides, the matter of defeating Hasting is fake, and you can kill Prince Odin and lead troops to defend the garrison to fight against the Odin army. These things will not be fake."

When the old duke heard this, he seemed to silently savor his son's words. He rode on the horse. Although the cold wind in the wilderness was so cold that the old duke gradually turned pale in the cold wind, he seemed to be unaware of it. Finally, after a while, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the duke's eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind about something that was in a dilemma in his heart.

"Roddy!" He narrowed his eyes and stared at his son, with a glimmer of light in his eyes: "In the past few years, I have suppressed your promotion several times. Although Your Majesty is willing to promote you, I have stopped you several times. I know that you don't say it, but I feel a little dissatisfied. I won't tell you my intentions, and you will naturally understand in the future."

Roddy was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, at such occasions, his father suddenly talked about this matter. He took a breath and whispered: "Father's deep meaning, I understand. Our tree attracts wind. Father, you have too much prestige in the army. If I run too fast, it will inevitably bring disaster. It's better to be more low-key..."

"Hmph, you understand, but you don't understand. Duke Minas sneered and interrupted his son, saying without hesitation: "You speak beautifully. This is true, but you still can't understand it in your heart. You have been in the imperial capital over the past two years, with many misconduct, and a vague intention of giving up on yourself. You are my son, and you deliberately make this look to show me. How can I not know what you think?" After saying this, the old duke smiled slightly, with a warm look in his eyes, looking at his son.

Looking at his father's smile and his unconspicuous eyes, Roddy suddenly felt warm and his heart pounded: "Father... what you meant by saying this is that you, you, have you finally changed your mind now?"

"Tomorrow you can hand in a report to the military headquarters... I will transfer you to the border County More." The old duke pondered for a while and said lightly: "Just be the deputy chief of military affairs first. Since you say that boy is good, you can go and be a deputy for him. If you make contributions within three years, I will naturally transfer you to another place and stand alone."

Roddy was overjoyed!

He was born in such a military family, how could he not know the military commander of a county? Although his position is not high, he has great power! Although he is just going to give to the deputy Xia Adam, he is the son of the duke and the future Duke of Minas! He has no need to fight for a military commander. With his family background, he will naturally be the only one in the future. It is only a matter of time before he becomes a general or a general or a general.

Besides, the frontier is the best place for good men to establish achievements! The relationship between the Empire and Odin is tense, and wars have continued in all major and large over the years. Are you still afraid that there will be no wars on the frontier for three years?

Then you can make a few great achievements and live a life of a man in this world!

Looking at his son's expression of joy and joy, Duke Minas sighed in his heart: I hope my approach is not wrong...

He was a soldier. Since he had made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. He shook his head hard, removed the distracting thoughts, and no longer paid attention to the concerns in his heart. With a shout, he whipped the horse and galloped forward, ran a few steps, looked back, and smiled at Roddy Wenyan, "Silly boy, don't you keep up!"

Roddy was overjoyed. His father had become more and more majestic over the years. Even when he treated his children, he rarely showed kindness. Today, he didn't know why he was so kind to himself. However, his father's promise just now was the thing he liked the most. In a good mood, Roddy also raised his whip and chased him up. At this moment, his heart was happy. In this wilderness, if it weren't for the strict father being by his side, he would have wanted to scream a few times to vent his joy in his heart.
