348 I don't know whether I live or die

Roque had come to visit Tirunar in the name of Lord Bellock, so it was easy to turn the conversation to Tirunar's body.

Tirunar thanked Roque and Lord Belloc first, and then said that he had not been out of the Val family's territory for a long time due to old age and infirmity, and asked Roark to convey his apologies to Lord Bellok.

Roque was of course a flurry of good things at this time, and then asked Tirunar for his thoughts on the current unrest in East Bengal.

"The root cause of the riots in East Bengal is still the disrespect of the former Governor George Curzon to us Indians, he did not consider the actual situation in India at all, and rashly divided Bangladesh, which is deliberately creating conflicts, East Bengal is also a part of India, and East Bengal and India cannot be artificially isolated - fortunately, Governor George Curzon was transferred, and it depends on how Count Minto adjusts next, but it is difficult to restore East Bengal to its previous state, contradictions are like scars, once they appear, It will not be possible to return to the same as before. Tirunar didn't know if it was because he was a little old, or because he had confidence in his own home, and he had no scruples when he spoke.

This attitude made Roque very satisfied, and Roque was not in the mood to do Tai Chi with Tirunar, it was better to be straightforward.

"It is unlikely that Lord Minto will fundamentally overturn Lord Delston's decision, he has already decided to move the capital to Delhi and Kolkata is no longer the political center of India." Roque's attention was on Tirunar's expression, trying to spot some clues.

Tirunar's reaction was fierce, as if he didn't care about Roque's temptation: "This is also a stupid decision, moving the capital will not solve the problem, but will exacerbate the chaos in East Bengal, the previous governor created all this, the Earl of Minto not only did not change the wrong decision, but increased the risk of conflict, they should be responsible for the current conflict, before becoming the governor of India, they did not know India at all, this is the source of all chaos." ”

This made it difficult for Roque to answer, so Roque smiled politely with a little embarrassment, hoping that Tirunar would take the initiative to stop such meaningless venting.

Tirunar is already dying, and he definitely doesn't care about this, but Tirunar's sons care, so Tirunar's eldest son, Seydoux, immediately came over to warn Tirunar not to get too excited.

"I'm sorry Lord, my father's health is not very good, the doctor has said many times that my father's body can't be too excited-" Seydoux took the initiative to apologize to Roque, and also meant to let Tirunar rest.

Roque immediately heard the meaning and offered to let Tirunar rest, and Roque had to rest first after a long journey.

The Val family's manor was large enough, and Roque's temporary resting room was also tall and spacious, and Tirunar's other son, Pradamu, came over with a few maids to provide Roque with a full range of thoughtful services, but Roque resolutely refused.

In fact, the appearance conditions of several maids are still very good, standard Aryan white, Roque can only sigh, the life of the feudal princes is too much.

Then the information about the Val family was constantly compiled.

When he came to Val Manor, Roque learned that the little-known Val family actually had more than 3,000 private soldiers, all of whom were equipped with Martini Henry rifles, which were relatively advanced in India, and even the guards of Val Manor used Lee Enfield, which was rare in India.

When the soldiers of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division took over the defense, they found that the guards of the Valmo Manor were also equipped with heavy machine guns, which was already considered contraband in India, and even the princes of the princely states could not have similar "heavy weapons".

No wonder Tirunar was so confident in what he said just now, how much should he look down on the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division.

When Roque was a guest in the manor, outside the manor, the private soldiers of the Val family were gathering, and Geng Biao reported that at least a thousand private soldiers had gathered outside the manor, and it seemed that the Val family did have bad intentions.

Luo Ke is not worried, although there is only one company of 100 people around Luo Ke, but the main force of the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division led by Guan Jing has arrived at a position less than ten kilometers away from Val Mo Town and waits, as long as Luo Ke's side suffers any attack, Guan Jing will immediately lead the main force to reinforce.

As for these private soldiers of the Val family, no matter how well equipped they are, in Roque's opinion, they are all local chickens and dogs, and they are not worth mentioning at all.

The combat effectiveness of the troops is not to say that people can be gathered together, and one person can be achieved with a gun, it requires continuous and hard training, in the case of the Var family, Roque does not think that Tirunar understands the importance of training for the troops, there is no army that can fight in the whole of India, the only one who can fight is the Gurkhas, but the Gurkha troops are controlled by the British, and the princes of the princely states of India are not qualified to hire the Gurkhas.

An hour later, Pradamu came over and invited Roque to the feast.

Tirunar prepared a grand welcome dinner for Roque, which was not a buffet or a table for one person, but a meeting room with many people sitting in rows around the table.

This method is actually quite good, at least it is in order, but the food prepared for the dinner party is very dissatisfying to Roque.

Roque finally got a glimpse of traditional Indian food, and Indians have the ability to make you a dirty paste, yellow yellow, green green, and you don't have an appetite in the end, no matter what the ingredients are.

Tirunar and the other Indians ate very well, and many of them did not use knives and forks, and of course they did not use their hands, but each of them had a spoon, and they did the same as the kindergarten children eating, and they talked so loudly during the meal, and some of them were very loud.

One of them sat next to Roque and greeted Roque warmly as soon as the dinner began.

"Ni-Ya-Sa-Ran-Lord - my pronunciation is pretty standard, why don't you eat it, this is our traditional Indian food, you can't eat it in southern Africa, right? Once you eat it, you'll instantly fall in love with India—"

Probably this guy has a bit of a special concept of food, or he hasn't eaten real food.

This is also a fallacy, your arsenic, my honey, maybe the delicacies that Roque thinks are also junk food in the eyes of others.

If this dude's behavior is just a bit arrogant, then the other people's attitude towards Roque is not friendly.

"I've heard that the natives of southern Africa are cannibal-"

This voice immediately caused an exclamation, and I don't know why Indians like to be so startled, and they don't analyze whether this is reliable or not, and they simply listen to the wind and rain.

"Isn't this Lord of Nyasaland Chinese? Why doesn't he have braids? ”

This guy's voice is not small, not far from Roque's position, and Roque can hear it clearly.

The others immediately looked at Roque with less respect and more mockery, and several people laughed uncontrollably, as if they had heard the funniest joke in their lives.

Roque was still keenly aware that Tirunar seemed to be deaf to these words, munching on the plate in front of him, and eating with rice scraps all over his beard.

Seydoux was watching Roque's reaction, and seeing that Roque noticed him, he immediately gave a flattering smile and raised a glass to Roque.

The wine is a good wine, but Roque is not very drunk, whether it was arranged by Tirunar or not, Roque will not condone this kind of behavior, this is not only disrespectful to Roque, but also disrespectful to the nobility of the Empire, as a part of the nobility of the Empire, Roque wants to maintain the majesty of the group of nobles of the Empire.

So Roque smiled and put down the cup in his hand, took off the napkin and wiped the corners of his mouth elegantly, leaned back in the chair easily, and gave Don next to him a look.

Don couldn't hold back for a long time, and when he got Roque's signal, he took three steps and two steps behind the guy who just said "braids", put down all the people and chairs, and then pulled the person up with one hand and walked out.

The guy who was dragged by Don En struggled desperately, but he couldn't get rid of Don En's clamp, the figure of the door panel of about one meter nine was not a joke, when Don was a machine gunner before, the forty kilogram heavy machine gun was carried by himself, and the deputy shooter was only responsible for carrying bullets, this guy was simply powerful, so he was selected by Roque to serve as his personal guard.

This change immediately aroused the minds of others, and they exclaimed for a while.

Tirunar finally raised his head from the plate, and looked at Roque with a blank gaze: "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

Roque didn't believe that the old guy didn't know, and without the instructions of Tirunar or a member of the Val family, Roque didn't believe that an Indian would dare to mock an English nobleman to his face.

"Sir, Gerry is rude, and if he accidentally provokes you, I apologize to you on his behalf, and I hope you don't hurt him." Seydoux hurried over at this time and apologized to Roque head-on.

"Yes, Gerry was also unintentional, he didn't mean to."

"We all know Gerry, and Gerry is a good guy—"

"Can the British bully people like that—"

Seydoux's apology was the beginning, and for a while there were all kinds of voices, some of them sincerely apologized, and some of them just added fuel to the fire.

"Seydoux, those who make mistakes must pay for their mistakes-" Roque does not connive, the Indians are like this, give them three points of color, they dare to open a dye shop, Roque just wants not to give an inch, and then see where the bottom line of these Indians is.

As for what "Gerry" is, he is also to blame, Roque is worried that there is no chance to kill chickens and monkeys, Gerry actually took the initiative to send it to the door, Roque is in a very happy mood at this time.
