When the commander of the musket camp, Mr. Treville, first arrived in Paris, he was as poor as Dardenion is now. But as a descendant of a noble family, he inherited the bloodline of boldness, intelligence, and bravery from his father, Old Treville. My old father was a loyal and brave general during the reign of Henry IV, who made remarkable achievements in the war for the throne. After conquering Paris, Henry IV, the father of present-day King Louis XIII, granted permission for Old Treville to use the golden lion as his emblem and was summoned to Louis XIII's palace. With loyalty and bravery, he quickly climbed to a position of power second only to the Cardinal and the King. Louis XIII was a king who valued friendship greatly, and in times of turmoil, he placed greater emphasis on Treville's loyalty, bravery, and talent. He is like a purebred guard dog and a loyal and rare general like his father. As a result, Louis XIII appointed him as the commander of the Royal Spear Battalion. This guard had outstanding appearance, was powerful and skilled in battle, and was feared by everyone in the court and the field. It became a force to compete with the equally formidable Guard Musketeers around the Cardinal. Cardinal Richelieu and Louis XIII often argued over the superiority of their musketeers while playing chess. Each side fought openly and secretly with their own trump cards, and even solemnly prohibited the two sides from dueling, while secretly encouraging their subordinates to provoke and fight. These two competing forces recruit top swordsmen to enrich their musket camps in every corner of France, even abroad. Treville is skilled in leading troops and can handle situations with ease; When the military pay is not good, he relies on catching the enemy's big head, taking public for personal gain. The musketeers he leads are all fearless executioners who only serve him. These people all understand in their hearts, especially when they encounter Bishop Richelieu's musketeers, they will draw their swords and fight to the death. Most of them win, and occasionally die under the opponent's sword. The leader will inevitably seek revenge for his subordinates with a sword. Even if my subordinates cause trouble in hotels, casinos, and on the streets and end up in jail, there's no need to worry. Our own leaders will intercede for them and release them. These unruly and brave musketeers are willing to sacrifice themselves for their beloved leaders. Treville manipulates this powerful and terrifying force, which is used by both the king and himself. He was a conspirator, a righteous and upright man, and a frequent guest in the living rooms of wealthy ladies and socialites of that era. He is an admired, beloved and feared favorite of His Majesty the King. Every morning in Paris, more than two hundred powerful officials receive visits from their subordinates at their respective residences, but the scene of commanding the residences is the most spectacular and lively. His mansion often has sixty musketeers, like a barracks. On the spacious stairs inside the huge house, there is a constant stream of people coming up and down, some seeking favor and job opportunities, and some giving gifts and letters to their respective owners. The person seeking to meet is waiting in the front hall, while Treville receives visitors in the study. On the day when D'Artagnan went to seek a meeting, the front hall was also crowded with people. He stood among a group of musketeers wielding long swords, his heart pounding. As someone who had always felt good about himself, he felt embarrassed and ridiculous for the first time in his life. Someone is playing with a sword duel, some stabbing their chin and ears, and this life-threatening pastime scares them; Some people are also freely discussing the secret affairs of peach blossoms inside and outside the palace, especially openly discussing the personal life of the Cardinal, mocking how the Cardinal's guards are so vulnerable. All of this made Dardanyon feel unimaginable, as his father repeatedly reminded him to respect the bishop before he left, so he dared not participate in such conversations and could only listen attentively. At this moment, a male servant came over and asked him what his responsibilities were. The young man respectfully said his name and specifically stated that he was from the same hometown as the leader, asking him to inform and request an audience on his behalf. Perhaps it was because of his hometown relationship that he soon heard a shout asking him to go to the study. D'Artagnan walked through the front hall and into the commander's study. Treville was getting angry for some reason at the moment. Seeing his fellow townsman bow respectfully to the ground, he quickly greeted Dardanyon politely, as if asking for forgiveness before discussing the matter with him. The leader walked towards the door with great anger and shouted with increasing solemnity, "Atos! Bordeaux! Aramis! Is this the right musketeer for a king?" Two musketeers, whose names were called, were bragging in the front hall. D'Artagnan had already met them while waiting for the audience. The two of them immediately walked towards the leader's study to take the exam upon hearing the leader's shout, and as soon as they entered, the door closed. The commander paced forward under two powerful hands resembling half human, half divine figures from Greek mythology, with a majesty akin to Zeus, the main god wielding thunder. "Do you know what the king said to me last night, gentlemen?" "I don't know, sir," the two stood straight and dared not speak out, politely adding, "Can you tell us?" "The king was very angry and said his musketeer had embarrassed him outside: he was drunk and causing trouble in the hotel, and was caught by the bishop's guards. Don't you know about this? Where is Athos, why haven't you seen him? You troublemakers!" P6-8
