[Pride and Prejudice] Red and Black Queen

What Joe said made Mr. Darcy feel blocked.

Under Joe's repeated persuasion, Mr. Darcy was persuaded to leave the room by her.

Joe glanced at Lydia, who had blushing cheeks on the bed, silently made a prayer posture, and closed her eyes.

George seems to have encountered some situations, but fortunately, it has been dealt with almost.

The system looked at the people lying down at George's feet, and couldn't help saying: [You call this dealt with? 】

George took a deep breath of the panic at the bottom of his feet, "Yes, look, how nice they are, and they gave me free resources."

The system is silent.

He carefully looked at the tall and burly soldiers on the ground.

【Master, they seem to want to teach you a lesson. New soldiers who enter the camp will receive this so-called welcome. 】

【If you beat them up now, they won't be convinced, and they will definitely come to trouble you again later. 】

George was surprised, "Really?"

The system solemnly said: 【Yes, noble soldiers like them dawdling around are most willing to do this kind of thing. 】

The system was about to comfort the master, and when he came up with a solution for the master, George took a deep breath and said in disbelief, "There is such a good thing?"

system:【……】

George rubbed his hands, "Isn't this equivalent to driving oil to my door? I'm sorry for their hard work if I don't accept it."

System: 【...Yes, yes. 】

When these people come to George to settle their accounts in anger because of being beaten, George will beat them up again. As a result, their anger and shame will be even stronger, and then they will provoke again next time, and they will be beaten again until they are drained Body emotional energy.

The system looked at the soldiers on the ground with pity, and said in his heart: You just lie here and don't do anything, you are on the first floor, and my master is in the atmosphere.

George tidied up his clothes and stepped on several soldiers lying on the ground. His arrogant appearance was simply hateful to watch.

George smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's not that you are too weak, but that I am too strong."

All the soldiers who were knocked down couldn't help but gasped for blood in their chests.

George returned to his tent.

Many new recruits in the camp had been bullied by those veterans. They thought that George would also be repaired, but they didn't expect him to be clean and unharmed.

They couldn't help but stared at George with monster eyes.

George smiled brightly, "Huh? What are you looking at? Did I get something on my face?"

Everyone shook their heads.

George went back to his bed and began to fiddle with his luggage.

A thin, sharp-looking man came in behind George, looked left and right, and moved closer to George.

"Hey, do you know what you did?"

George smiled and said, "I don't know. Didn't I just find the boots I forgot to claim, so I just took them back."

The man stared at George, who was talking nonsense with his eyes open, with a look of admiration. He couldn't help stretching out his hand, "I, Tom Lake, nice to meet you."

George shook his hand. "George Wickham."

Tom sat next to George, glanced at the soldiers around, and said to George in a low voice: "I have a special channel here, and it's not easy to get out here. If you want anything, just tell me, and I can get it for you." Come on, if you want to know anything, you can ask me, I will clearly mark the price, and I will never cheat anyone."

George: "Yo, it's good business."

Tom said "Hehe", "It's just to support the family. By the way, don't you know who the people you beat are? Let me tell you, they are all the sons of the Lord, and you are going to be in trouble."

George said indifferently: "The heirs of lords who can come to the barracks are those who cannot inherit property and titles. They will have to be supported by women with rich dowry in the future. What should I worry about?"

Tom was taken aback, "Dude, you can see clearly."

"However, although they don't have much power outside, their relatives are powerful. These nobles have been related to the royal family for several generations."

George: "They have a relationship, don't I?"

George's voice was not suppressed, and everyone in the tent listened to his words.

Everyone looked sideways at him, and the original voice of the conversation was lowered a bit.

Tom's eyes widened, "Wow, I can't tell, your relationship is..."

George smiled suggestively at him, but said nothing further.

Tom rubbed his hands, and couldn't help asking secretly, "My good brother, tell me in private, I will never pass it on."

George: "Oh, this is an important piece of information. If you sell it to me for money, will I give it to you for nothing?"

Tom glanced at the ring on George's hand, "You don't seem to be short of money."

George smiled and said, "But paying the money will make you unhappy, so I am happy. What I lack is this happiness."

Tom: "..."

This guy must have been beaten lightly!

Tom lowered his face, "If you don't say it, don't say it, I will care? But, aren't you afraid of revenge?"

George didn't hesitate at all, and was still arranging his clothes.

Tom's complexion changed, and he said with a smile: "Oh, okay, okay, how about I give you some discounts when I do your business in the future?"

George looked up at him, "Who can remember what happened so long ago?"

Tom gritted his teeth, "Let me tell you directly, there are two waves of forces in the barracks right now, one is the people you offended today, the one who leads them is the son of the baron, his brother can speak before the king people."

"Don't believe it, his elder brother played with the king when he was a child, and when he grew up, His Majesty the King also trusted him."

George was thoughtful, "Is that so..."

The system suddenly felt a chill in its mental body. Could it be that the master was thinking of some bad idea?

"The leader of the other wave is Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam. Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam is not simple, he is the son of the earl."

George looked at Tom, "You mean... Fitzwilliam?"

"Yes, Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam is the youngest son of Earl Fitzwilliam's family."

"If you say that, I'll be impressed." George smiled.

Tom looked at George's expression and asked cautiously, "Are you related to Earl Fitzwilliam's family?"

George nodded readily, "That's right!"

He said in his heart: I really didn't expect to meet familiar people here.

System: [I know Joe, not George. 】

【And, master, do you really not know? 】

George gave a mysterious smile.

George: "Hey, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I know that there is someone here who has been tricked by me and will take the initiative to wipe my ass."

system:【……】

The system heartbroken and said: [The man who likes Joe is really unlucky! 】

George smiled and patted Tom on the shoulder, "Thanks, I understand."

Tom: "That's it?"

"Or else?"

Tom: "Don't think that you can avoid their retaliation because you have a relationship with Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam. Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam has other missions and will not be in the barracks often. Moreover, he doesn't like to recruit gangsters in the barracks." Clique, so when Lieutenant Colonel Fitzwilliam is not in the barracks, you will have to suffer."

George smiled and said, "Relax, relax, I'm waiting for them, let them come here."

Seeing that he didn't listen to his advice, Tom shook his head helplessly, "Okay, if you need to come to me again, I still have a way."

George: "Oh, by the way, I have something to ask you, are family members allowed here to visit?"

Tom: "In the past, you could come and go as you please, but recently, the control is strict. You are only allowed to go out on Fridays of a month, or your family members come to see you."

Tom asked curiously: "Do you still have relatives in the capital?"

George stretched out his hand, "Come on, give me the money first, and I'll talk about it later."

Tom: "..."

He turned away.

Someone next to him said to George: "If you care about him asking for money, you are looking for the wrong person. He is a famous miser."

George grabbed a handful of the void and took a deep breath, feeling the energy of the miser's rage.

No, he is not stingy at all, look at how much energy he has dropped.

System: [You really want to chop flesh on the legs of mosquitoes, and he is not a character in the book, what are you doing! 】

George: "I'm sorry, mosquito legs are also a piece of meat, so what you add up is a lot. We can't start wasting just because we fell into a resource-rich planet."

The system that was given a thrift education class: […]

It always feels like it has lost its dignity as a system.

George packed up the energy he had exploited from Tom, and pretended not to ask the people around him, "Is the barracks very strict recently?"

"Isn't that right? The training is also much stricter. Alas, it's really exhausting. If I had known that I would go to church to mess around, I wouldn't have come here if I was killed."

George touched his chin.

The barracks here will not suddenly become stricter for no reason, are they going to fight here?

……

After Mr. Darcy left Mr. Bennet's room, he did not return to his own room, but went to the study.

On the desk in the study were letters that had already been sorted out.

Mr. Darcy opened the letter with his silver letter opener.

As soon as he opened a letter, he couldn't help but stop.

His eyes turned, as if he was thinking about something, because his mind was distracted, and his subordinates couldn't continue their movements.

The corners of his lips raised slightly, revealing a slightly helpless but willing smile.

He looked at the letter in his hand, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared instantly.

This letter was a reply from a colonel in the barracks, and it said that George Wickham recommended by him had successfully entered the barracks.

Mr. Darcy's good humor at the thought of Jo vanished instantly.

George Wickham is really good at breaking his mood. Even if he is not here, just seeing his name can't help Mr. Darcy's heart.

Mr. Darcy silently prepared himself mentally——

Whatever wickedness George Wickham may have done in the letter, he must not be offended and enraged.

Mr. Darcy slowed down a little, and then continued to look down.

The letter did not mention any evil done by George Wickham, but the colonel expressed concern that Mr. Darcy was sending Mr. George Wickham to join the army at this time.

Although Mr. Colonel didn't say it clearly, the meaning between the lines is that joining the army is not a good choice at this time, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous.

What dangers can an army near a capital encounter?

unless……

Mr. Darcy was startled.

He immediately asked the servants in the house to deliver the latest newspaper, and he opened a map himself.

When he finished reading the latest newspaper, he couldn't help frowning and staring at the map on the desktop.

There will be wars soon.

He made such a judgment in his heart.

If this was the case, wouldn't his act of sending George Wickham into the barracks at this time be sending George Wickham to his death?

He pinched his eyebrows and closed his eyes.

Although he was always angry with George, George was not guilty of death.

Besides, what would Joe do if something happened to George Wickham?

Mr. Darcy rose at once, intending to tell Jo the matter.

Mr. Darcy hesitated again before going out.

He was worried that Joe would be frightened by this matter, and he had to think carefully about how to express this matter tactfully.

Mr. Darcy turned on tiptoe in the direction of the kitchen, and ordered the servants to make some refreshments.

It was not until Mr. Darcy had left the place that Jo came out from behind the heavy curtain.

System: [I was scared to death just now, I thought he found you. 】
