Chapter 166 Marriage of the Soldiers
Chapter 166 Soldier Marriage
"I heard that the prince's wife is going to give birth."
"Huh? Where did you hear this news?"
On the newly built city wall in the inner city of Moscow, two people wearing long-sleeved chainmail shirts were watching the activities outside the city while bragging and chatting. Their expressions were very casual. It seemed that this was not the first time they had done such a thing.
Already.
Not far from where the two were chatting, on the city's hillside, a little black cat was lying there sleeping, changing positions from time to time.
"Domhnall, have you really not heard of it or are you pretending not to have heard of it? Considering your criminal record, I really have to suspect that you are pretending to be stupid."
The man carrying the quiver spoke in a bad mood, as if he had been tricked by this man - which was indeed the case.
"Oh, Dill, I remembered. Alas, that bastard Gevalan just asked me to clean the entire dormitory. Damn, I'm exhausted. That old bastard doesn't want me to be comfortable."
The Gael was full of resentment when he mentioned the captain of the janissaries. The captain of the janissaries really tormented him so much that he would torment him all the time.
No, I just finished cleaning today and was sent to see the city wall.
"Ha, you didn't ask for it. He was planning to let you go four months ago, but you actually hooked up with his daughter and almost got it done in the barn. He couldn't hurry up and torment you.
."
When Dill mentioned that, his expression couldn't help but become happy. This guy and the captain of the soldiers were really happy enemies.
——————————
Some time ago, after a long period of hard work and courtship, Domhnall finally caught up with the girl who often came to the soldiers' dormitory.
He spent too much energy and time on this, but after the girl accepted his pursuit, he felt that it was all worth it.
And now that they have caught up, they have to do something. In the end, the two of them chose to be in the barn, but when Domhnall took the girl's virginity, a man rushed in. It was the angry father, and it was even worse.
What's more, that is the captain of the soldiers, Gvalan.
As for the girl's parents, Domhnall always thought they were probably his colleagues. After all, she always just put something at the door of the soldiers' dormitory, and then other soldiers would take it away.
Those Gaels who were soldiers once asked, they only said that someone else asked them to help them get it, but they didn't say who it was.
Therefore, the Gael always thought that the girl's father was a colleague who valued privacy, but he never expected that her father would actually be Gvalan.
Only later did Gaelic find out that Gvalan didn't want others to know that he had such a beautiful daughter. He wanted his daughter to have a peaceful teenage years.
As the captain of the Prince of Moscow's personal army, he was well aware of the importance of his position and did not want to let those with evil intentions or speculators find him so early.
So he specifically ordered his subordinates to keep it secret. These people were his most trusted subordinates, and they did keep the secret.
Most of the soldiers who followed her also knew the identities of these soldiers who often interacted with the pretty girl. This also deterred these veterans, and they did not dare to harass them - those soldiers sometimes behaved like princes.
Those who were willing to come forward - this group of people once thought that it was the prince's spy, which was why they didn't know the truth.
But Gevalan didn't expect that a guy he had always hated would pick it up.
If Domhnall hadn't reacted quickly that day, he would have been beaten to death. After all, after being punished by Gvalan so many times, he had developed a subconscious reaction to that face, and this was what saved him.
.
It's just that Domhnall couldn't run in the first grade of junior high school, but he couldn't run in the fifteenth grade. In the end, he had no choice but to go back. His brothers were still in the Guards, and he couldn't abandon them.
Fortunately, after he returned, Gvalan did not break up with him directly, but chose to increase his efforts to molest him in private. Later, Domhnall found out that it was his little lover who begged for mercy before Gvalan let him go.
Otherwise, they would have been knocked on the door long ago.

"Tsk, that old immortal is like this all day long."
When Domhnall mentioned that matter, his head was filled with doubts. To find such a future father-in-law, it can only be said that his luck was too "good".
"I don't think it's a long-term solution for you to continue like this. How about thinking of another way? How about simply going to a local place and becoming a fortress master? I heard that someone is already planning it, and you can join them."
Dill did not continue to tease the Gael, but began to find ways for him to break through the current predicament, such as going to a local place to sit in a stronghold.
Since Rostislav wants to build fortresses all over Northeastern Rus, he naturally needs manpower to take charge.
For this reason, the prince gave his soldiers a choice. This choice was to go to the local area and serve as the lord of the city, sitting on one side.
From then on, they no longer took wages from the princes, but supported themselves through the output of the land, and the value of the output of these lands would be higher than their wages.
"I'm not one of those old people who wants to stay away from the war. Why would I join that?"
Domhnall's answer showed the actual situation faced by the prince's plan. Although Rostislav sent an invitation, most of the soldiers did not respond.
For most people, gold and silver are the most important. They formed the Guards for gold and silver rather than land.
Only a few old people and war-weary people took this option. For them, spending the next days safely was the most important thing. The prince's choice just gave them a chance to stay away from the war.
"Then there's nothing you can do. It seems you have no choice but to endure it."
Dill shrugged and expressed his helplessness, but then he changed the subject.
"But I don't think your hard life will last long. I guess your old father-in-law's anger is about to disappear. He knows that he can't change his daughter's mind, and he will have to accept it sooner or later. Moreover, he understands you and knows
You are serious about this relationship."
"Huh? I can't see our old soldier recognizing it."
Subconsciously, Domhnall said these words. After being tortured so many times by the captain of the soldiers, he really mentioned that the man had a big head.
And Dill just smiled in response. He recognized that this friend was good at everything, but sometimes he was too out of tune.
And just as the two were bragging and spanking, suddenly a group of people and horses appeared on the streets of Moscow, running wildly. If the riders hadn't reacted quickly, they would have almost knocked down pedestrians.
"Who is he? Racing on the street?"
Watching the team member Domhnall's eyes wrinkle up, this scene was really uncomfortable to watch.
But then, he suddenly saw a face, a face belonging to the prince of Moscow, which made him shudder uncontrollably, and then he looked towards the prince's palace.
"Could it be that... that's true?"
