Death seat

Chapter 551
At this time, everyone's eyes fell on Durand. Durand was already sober at this time, and he knew what he had just done.He suddenly didn't understand why he, who had always been known for his drinking capacity, was overwhelmed by a brat, and the brat acted like a normal person. The reason behind it must be more than that simple.

However, those who came today are all noble guests from the royal family. If I break my promise and become fat today, then I will not even think about raising my head in the future. He should be able to speak for himself. After all, this is just a gamble. A small gamble will make you happy, but a big gamble will hurt your health. Louis will not fail to understand this truth.

Besides, even if Louis doesn't speak for him, the elders of those countries will definitely speak for him, so there is no need to worry too much. Of course, this is Durand's idea.

"Manly man, I am willing to accept the bet. Your Majesty, I will propose to you to resign from the position of general at the end. Please allow me to retire and return to my hometown!" Durand really half-kneeled on the ground and said to Louis.

Louis looked at Durand's eyes, obviously afraid that he would really agree. Looking at the veterans, each of them seemed to be worried that he would really agree.However, what Louis wanted was to agree. If it weren't for those elders, he wouldn't be tied down.

These veterans are used to living a peaceful life. They all think about how to protect themselves, and how to make a lot of money. They really hope that the country will be stable, because when the country is stable, their rights will be solid. If so, they can make a lot of money and squeeze the country dry.

"Happy, General Durand deserves to be a quick talker! If that's the case, this king promises you!" Louis said the last few words sonorously!

Everyone present was stunned. They originally thought that this gamble was just for entertainment, but they didn't expect it to come true in the end!The seniors, in particular, were stunned. They thought that Louis would evade a few words, and then the matter was left alone. They didn't expect that Louis was really willing to lose a general just for a gamble.

Of course, Louis would not be so stupid. He knew which faction this General Durand belonged to, so he agreed without hesitation. If he was his confidant general, Louis would rather let Xu Ziye give him face than let them leave just like that. For a country, there is nothing more terrifying than the loss of talent.

Durand was the most surprised. He didn't expect that Louis would actually agree to him. He said that because he wanted Louis to say a few words for him. He didn't expect that Louis didn't mean that at all.

"Your Majesty! Absolutely not!" At this time, an old man with white beard and hair stood up. Although this old man looked over seventy years old, his voice was as sonorous and powerful as a bell, and he did not look old at all: "Your Majesty, Durand The general is the pillar of the country. The gambling this time is just an insignificant gamble. It is not incomprehensible for young people to be angry. General Durand is an important general in our Principality of Madrid. You must not resign as a general so easily! "

As soon as the old man spoke, a small group of people echoed and interceded for Durand.

Durand saw that someone stood up for him, so he couldn't help secretly happy in his heart. It was right to stand on the side of the elders. Although Louis is the king, this does not mean that the words of these elders are useless. They are all powerful figures, it is impossible for Louis to ignore them.

Louis had expected this scene a long time ago, so he didn't speak, because he couldn't make things difficult for these elders in the open.So he chuckled, and then said to the old man: "Uncle, you see what you said. In fact, this king is just a notary. If Prince Sandro is willing to forgive General Durand, then what else can I say?" ?”

Xu Ziye glanced at Louis. Such a person is really an old stick. He pushed himself to the forefront because he didn't want to offend those veterans. If he retreated like this, Louis would be dissatisfied. The old man will definitely make trouble for himself in the future.

what to do?To persist or not to persist?Xu Ziye thought about it and weighed the pros and cons. Although these veterans all hold real power, as long as Louis can identify himself as his man, then these veterans will not be able to play any tricks.Although I am not in danger on the surface, who can guarantee that I am not in danger in the dark?But think about it again, when did you not face many dangers when you walked on the road of the undead, and didn't you ever shrink back because of this?
No!Absolutely not!
So Xu Ziye made up his mind, and said firmly: "A man's game, one is one, two is two! I said it at the beginning, if General Durand can't even drink me, then it can only mean that he can't even drink me. It's not as good as a general who is not even as good as a wine bag. Why should he take such a position? I think General Durand can take the initiative to resign, which shows that General Durand still has the demeanor of a general in the end. I hope General Durand can keep his promise!"

The meaning of Xu Ziye's words is quite clear, which is to simply let Durand go.

At this time, Louis's uncle said again: "Little baby, don't be unreasonable. If you can forgive General Durand this time, then I think General Durand will definitely remember your favor!"

What Louis' uncle meant was very clear, that is, if Xu Ziye let Durand go this time, it would mean that they collectively owe Xu Ziye a favor, but Xu Ziye also understood that if he let Durand go today, then Louis would definitely not let him go.

"I don't need General Durand's favor, and General Durand promises to keep his promise, what do you think? General Durand!" Xu Ziye walked in front of Durand and said with a smile on his face.

Durand was forced to have no way out. In front of so many people, he couldn't stand down at all, so Durand simply said: "Prince Sandro is right, I, Durand, have no qualifications to be a general, so starting tomorrow , I will no longer be a general, just a grassroots!"
