Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"Lord Henry! General Henry!"

After leaving the Justice Auditorium and walking out of the City Hall, the temporary commander of the Imperial Fleet had just breathed the fresh air when he heard shouts from behind.

Looking back, one old and one small, two people with yellow skin and dark eyes ran towards him with small steps.

Henry was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile. He didn't look like he was bossy and arrogant just now in front of the nobles of the Far Harbor. He nodded and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, who are you two?"

The middle-aged man bowed and said, "My lord, Han Zezheng, his ancestor was awarded the title of hereditary baron by the governor of the Far Harbor, and he operated the shipping business in the Far Harbor. He also has two shops that polish and sell some hometown-style items. This is mine. The eldest son, Han Guangcheng, is 24 years old this year and is still studying at the Far Harbor Riding School."

His Continental lingua franca is so fluent that it is already exactly the same as that of Goethe.

The young man was about to kiss his chest and salute when his father turned his head and glared: "Kow to your lord."

He was about to kneel, and Colonel Henry hurriedly took two steps to support him: "Don't kneel."

Then, the imperial people explained to Han Zezheng, "His Royal Highness Kant doesn't like it."

"What a kind and generous lord."

Han Zezheng heard the words in admiration, and bowed respectfully in the direction of Chaosheng Villa.

The young man Han Guangcheng also bowed with him.

Then, the little nobleman from the Far Harbor from Aurora explained to Colonel Henry: "You know, in our hometown, only the most lenient hero can be sympathetic to the hardships of the commoners. There is no doubt that His Royal Highness Kant A benevolent and just ruler, he must be the most noble adult in Aurora."

The imperial heart said how the **** did I know, but this did not prevent him from smiling and nodding in agreement: "Yes, His Royal Highness Kant is the kindest and fairest adult I have ever met."

With warm and sincere smiles on their faces, the two of them stood in front of the City Hall and blew Kant in unison.

As if in the city hall Kant overturned the vote of the nobles and insisted that the dozens of nobles involved should all be punished with the most brutal punishment.

After chatting for a few more words, Han Zezheng took Colonel Henry's hand and silently handed over a gold watch studded with diamonds of various colors.

He whispered: "My lord has won the trust of His Royal Highness Kant. I ask you to grant me a humble wish. My son and I want to pay tribute to His Highness Kant's majesty and listen to his admonitions."

"You have pity on us wandering in a foreign land, far away from our homeland for hundreds of years, like floating grass without roots, and now we finally see the sunshine behind the dark clouds, we can't wait to bathe in the brilliance of His Royal Highness Kant. Lords, lords and even kings offer their loyalty, we have waited too long for this day, I beg you, kind sir, please help us open this door."

Colonel Henry turned his palm slightly, and he could clearly see the fineness of the gold watch by the sunlight. The dozens of broken diamonds of various colors were dazzling and dazzling, and the gold watch was embossed like hook silk.

He stuffed the gold watch back into Han Zezheng's hands.

Aurora was stunned for a moment, then begged: "Sir, merciful lord..."

"Don't worry, Han, my friend, you don't have to." Colonel Henry smiled and patted the other's rough and wrinkled hand, "I'm very happy to see a powerful and loyal nobleman join Lord Kant. Under your command, I am happy to introduce you, and I do not need to repay, but I can only promise you that I will bring your request to Chaosheng Villa, but I cannot guarantee the result..."

"This is enough, my lord, this is enough." Han Zezheng said happily, "Oh, praise you, I don't know how to repay your kindness..."

"Don't repay me, my friend."

The imperial man laughed loudly and patted Han Zezheng on the shoulder: "You are a smart man, a smart gentleman, a wise man from Aurora, I think we are the same kind of people, we are both good at smelling opportunities and never letting go Take that precious opportunity and give it your all, right?"

"Yes... yes yes yes." The Aurora person lowered his head and said, "Absolutely."

"Then," said the colonel, "I will return to Chaosheng Manor to report to His Highness, you..."

"We're coming in a carriage, your lord will go first, and we'll catch up quickly."

"Don't be too late, friend."

"No, Your Excellency, I wish I could be thirty years younger and gallop with you."

With friendly laughter, they waved goodbye.

Han Ze was walking quickly towards his carriage with his son.

"Hey."

He waved goodbye to the distant colonel for the last time, withdrew his gaze, quickened his pace, and said in a low voice, "It's amazing, it's amazing."

Son Han Guangcheng asked in a low voice, "Father, what's so amazing?"

Then he was given a sideways glance by his own father: "Beasts, hang out with boatmen and boatmen all day long, their ancestors sailed thousands of miles across the ocean, and came to a foreign country with nine deaths. Isn't it just to fight for their lives? I finally got ashore and arrived. Your generation, you are going to roll into the sea again! I'm so **** off!"

The young man lowered his eyebrows and did not refute.

Seeing his appearance, Han Ze said in a righteous manner, "I'll see Lord Kant in a while, so please wake me up! Talk less, do less, watch more and listen more!"

When they came to their carriage, Han Guangcheng hurriedly helped his father into the carriage, and then went up and sat down.

The coachman waved his whip and accelerated as his master ordered.

There was silence in the carriage. After a while, Han Guangcheng said cautiously, "Father, are we going to join His Highness Kant?"

Han Zezheng glared at him: "Otherwise?"

"...Will it be too urgent?" the young man whispered, "To say that I, Mr. Kang, is a bit unpopular, and he is really domineering. He killed so many nobles without relieving his hatred, and he still wants to kill... "

"You know shit!"

Old Han also taught a lesson: "Let you read more of the history books brought by your ancestors, but you don't read them! Since ancient times, when dynasties have been changed, no matter how powerful a family is, they have to kill people, and what aristocratic clans have been wiped out countless, but it can last a thousand years. Which dynasty and generation have lost nobles? Look at the nobles present today, the ancestors of hundreds of years ago may be some kind of slaughtering chickens and dogs, and our ancestors of the Han family are not coolies drifting with ships?"

He slowed down and said, "Murdering... is never a problem, killing aristocrats is not a big deal. You see aristocrats as big people, and others see them as chickens or dogs. They cut a stubble and made room. Some people are willing to kill them. On—especially obedient people.”

Han Guangcheng thought thoughtfully: "So... my father is going to be on the top?"

"Otherwise? The cold stove started to smoke new smoke. It was the time of Tengda. His Highness had no foundation in Far Harbor, and he belonged to a strong dragon-like figure. I watched him act to convince Far Harbor and make this city his thing. "

Han Zezheng explained to his eldest son: "Now, His Highness is showing his sharp-edgedness. He wants to make the nobles of the Far Harbor bow their heads. The latter will not give in. It is a struggle. I will vote for His Royal Highness Kant before the victory or defeat. Giving charcoal in the snow must also be a matter of choosing a hero, and he must be praised and appreciated.”

"Furthermore, thanks to the grace of our ancestors, we gave birth to this pair of black-haired and yellow-skinned skins. After all, we are also from Aurora, and are born close to one level. If we go here this time, I am willing to do my best. Your Highness will definitely take a look."

Han Guangcheng was still a little hesitant: "But I'm still in a hurry..."

"What's the hurry? The more urgent, the better, otherwise? Wait until they have won a big victory before going to defect? ​​If you are not diligent in the small business of the Han family, they will not even look at you."

When Han Zezheng said this, he sighed, his eldest son is really not a business material.

But what can he do? I can only teach by words and deeds, and I hope he can enlighten one day.

There was a trace of unease in Han Guangcheng's eyes: "But... Father, the outcome is unpredictable, I admit that Lord Kant is extremely skilled, but the battlefield and the political arena are different, and besides, he is so arrogant, and it is not only the distant who offends him. The nobles of Hong Kong, and even the nobles of Goethe as a whole will be dissatisfied..."

He showed a curious look: "Father thinks that His Royal Highness Kant will definitely win?"

"Being a father is not something that can be calculated and calculated. In business, there is no such thing as a prophet. It is just to find signs from clues..." Han Zezheng replied, "Although I don't know what the confidence of His Highness Kant is for my father, I know that just now. Colonel Henry, as the commander of the fleet of the Holy Empire, has completely surrendered to Lord Kang, and the soldiers of Duyue and the Council are so arrogant, they are willing to listen to His Royal Highness Kant's orders."

"From this point, I can assert that Far Harbor has no chance of winning in this confrontation."

Han Guangcheng was thoughtful.

The old father glanced at the silly son and sighed: "Son, there is no chance of winning, and the Han family has no choice. Think again, what kind of life did our Han family live a few months ago? Not bad. When His Royal Highness Kant appears, what will happen to the Han family? The Governor is willing to smile with me."

"Even today, Mr. Kang has already ridden on the head of Yuangang. Although those nobles are alienated from us, they are very polite and dare not offend. Whose light is this?"

"Then Colonel Henry regarded the nobles of the Far Harbor as nothing, but he was very polite when he saw our father and son. Why? Is it because we are also black-haired and yellow-skinned Aurora people?"

"So I can't help myself, let's go to Lord Kang now and ask him to include it, even if His Highness loses, it can keep us safe. If not, Lord Kang backs down, and we are neutral. These Goethe people turned back, You're going to bully us...you understand?"

He stretched out his hand and patted his son's shoulder: "I can only leave a way for you and your brothers and sisters while I'm not confused and old, and I don't expect you to rise to prominence, and I don't expect you to be able to take your ancestors with you. When the leaves have fallen and returned to their roots, I hope that you will be safe and spread out..."

The old man was moved by himself for a while, and then instructed: "So stay awake! In a moment, if your Highness asks you something, don't be sloppy, and answer it in a good way. If your ancestors pity you and make His Highness value you as a wicked obstacle, you will be treated as an inkstone grinder. Mo's little servant is your creation..."

Han Guangcheng didn't bow his head for training this time. He opened the window, the carriage was galloping, and the scenery outside the window quickly receded. From here, you can see the distant sea, and the silver warships quietly parked among the waves.

He murmured: "If Your Highness can let me go to work on that ship, even if it is the lowest sailor who cleans the deck, I will be happy and willing to die on the ship."

As soon as the voice fell, he was slapped on the head.

"Nizi! You are also worthy of the fairy-like boat? Take it off for a while, or I will send you to the northern desert to run a business, and you can row your boat there!"

Twenty minutes later, Chaosheng Manor.

Kant put down his pen, stretched his muscles and bones, and said with a smile: "Oh, there will be a cold stove so soon, and I'm still a 'compatriot', haha..."

Even though Horus had monitored the intelligence of Colonel Henry and Han Zezheng through the bracelet, he also informed Kant that a pair of Aurora father and son wanted to join him.

But in front of the object being prismatic, you still have to politely pretend not to know.

The Colonel of the Empire stood in front of him and said respectfully: "Yes, I have prepared the information about this Han Zezheng and his family and industry, right here."

He handed over a document in his hands.

Kant pretended to turn two pages and said casually: "It's very fast."

"It was done this morning." Henry Baker replied, "I sent someone to spend a day searching for the information of decent people from all walks of life in the Far Harbor, and sorting them out. Document records, I have sent someone to the archives on the first floor of the manor for you to refer to at any time."

Kant smiled and said, "I have a heart."

"It is my honor to do things for His Royal Highness."

"Glad to have you help me, Henry."

Kant nodded to him: "Let the father and son of the Han family come in. The first person you introduced to me should meet no matter what - and let them remember you."

Henry showed a surprised and moved look: "Thank you so much, Your Highness!"

Kant waved his hand: "Okay, Henry, go and do your own thing. By the way, Your Excellency Colonel, I hope you can sleep well tonight instead of continuing to work all night."

"As ordered!"

After a while, Henry led the two to come, and then closed the door.

Han Zezheng glanced at Kant, and then bowed deeply: "Little old Han Zezheng, from Fengzhou ancestors, brought his dog Guangcheng, and met Master Kang!"

Even if he knew that he was from the earth and had nothing to do with the Aurora people here, but looking at the oriental people with the same skin color, hair color, and even similar language and culture, Kant still subconsciously gave birth to a sense of closeness - it must be deeper than looking at a high nose The blond and blue-eyed mainlanders came close.

He raised his hand and said, "Don't be too polite, there are no servants here, no etiquette is required, sit there, drink and water at the table, both of you are free, don't be restrained."

After Han Zezheng thanked him, he sat on the armchair next to him with his **** just a little against the seat.

Han Guangcheng stood behind his father.

Before that, Kant's understanding of Aurora was limited to Hong San.

He has also heard Hong San talk about some things about Aurora, but the information channels are still extremely limited. After all, Hong San's master is too high-level, and he talks about some world-governing techniques, not much fireworks.

It was the first time I had a serious chat with these ordinary Aurora immigrants.

As usual, he asked how his life was, how his business was, how many people there were in his family, and whether there was any difficulty.

"I once remembered a common saying, saying that people leave their homes and are cheap, and they go to sea with a boat, and the wind and waves are blowing, hey, it's hard!"

Han Zezheng shook his head and sighed, "In our ancestors' time, Aurora and Goethe traded, and the two sides communicated with each other. Our country is rich and the people are strong. Even if we are in a foreign land, we live well, and people respect you."

"When Lu Chen in Shenzhou, the elves blocked the route, and the trade between the two sides was cut off, we were like Piaoping without roots. People respected you at first, and then they didn't look at you more and more."

"Even if you buy an official title, you can't change your face. People can see at a glance that you are different from him, with yellow skin, black hair, and a person from Aurora. No matter how well you speak the common language, no matter how much money you pay in taxes, People don't even recognize you as a Goethe, you just don't look like him."

"It's cheap to leave your hometown, it's cheap to leave your hometown."

Han Zezheng talked a lot, and after layers of foreshadowing, he got to the point.

He stood up tremblingly and bowed deeply to Kant: "If it wasn't for His Highness to be born out of the sky, to intimidate the contemporary world, and to make Western countries hear our name, then we people in the East would still be struggling in a foreign land like a rootless weed. The little old man still has his ancestry and can still live, how many of those blood compatriots have died without a place to be buried, Your Highness, we lonely ghosts have been looking forward to a king who splits the earth and seals the border for a long, long time!"

When he said this, he shouted: "The Han family in Yuangang is willing to die for His Highness! Please accept His Highness!"

- A group of Aurora people admire your force and are willing to join, do you accept it?

That definitely won't work.

Just kidding, you said that if you want to die, do I have to accept it?

The company should also have a probation period to investigate.

If it is a family that usually bullies men and women, and has a bad track record, it would be too disgusting to go here to sell a pitiful and say a few beautiful words, and coax him to accept it in a confused way.

Hong San had a careful discussion with Kant before going to Valentine.

It is important to emphasize that you must be careful when picking up dogs.

People in this world value this more. Loyalty is the highest contract, just like Hong San promised to be a retainer of Kant. Even if there is no loyalty ceremony, it is a promise of a gentleman, and he will stay with him for life. are equally responsible.

Another example is something like the Han family... He mentioned death and acceptance, which means allegiance.

If Kant agrees, the Han family will be attached to Kant's name from now on, only Kant's orders will follow, but on the contrary, the things the family has done before, now and in the future are all tied to Kant.

Hong San can rest assured Kant about everything, except that he knows that his lord has no general common sense, so he reminded him that part-time workers and long-term workers are two completely different concepts.

Kant motioned to Han Guangcheng: "Hurry up and help your father up."

Han Zezheng groaned in his heart - it's bad, it's too urgent.

"I don't need to die. I'm a kinder person. I don't want to fight and kill, and I don't do shameful things. I don't need others to die for me."

Kant looked at Han Zezheng, who was still respectful in front of him: "But it is still possible to help each other, Mr. Han, you are right about one thing, we are all wanderers who are wandering away from our homeland, and we should help each other and help each other. , make progress together—you say that right?"

"Yes, yes."

"Then, can you do me a favor?"

PS1: I just set up the flag last night...

PS2: And this chapter, sigh, it was written so slowly, because I thought about it, what Han Zezheng, the Aurora, and Henry, the imperial man, were speaking the common language of the mainland, so the words and content were in the same style. , a bit of a translation accent, including that he called Henry a general instead of a colonel, all on purpose, and he used Aurora with his son. Between father and son, most lessons are taught, but they are also relatively casual, and the style is more inclined to In the vernacular of the market, when you talk to a big man like Kant, you must be polite and sincere, and you must be polite...

PS3: On a whim, I sculpted it carefully. After writing it, I was a little frustrated and at a loss. I don’t know if I was busy with my work… Forget it, I’m just happy, good night.
