Chapter 716: 712 Lu Yu's Face

The conversation seemed to be parting ways, but at the last moment, Royer proposed to Lu Yu that they should chat alone.

Thinking of the high-spirited him three years ago, and the self who was still looking forward to the future, Lu Yu agreed.

The deliberation hall was empty, and the two people sitting across the table no longer had to worry about their image in the minds of their subordinates, and seemed a little more casual.

"You hate me right now, don't you?"

"I know what kind of person you were before, that's why I'm angry." Lu Yu closed his eyes, and finally chose to speak from his heart, "It's just the two of us now, it's okay to be honest, after you walk out of Chenxi, we The friendship between the two is clear."

Royer smiled lightly: "I heard that you have a very good relationship with the emperor of Sligo. If you ask him to help you...he will be credible enough, right?"

One sentence was full of clouds and mountains, and Lu Yu chewed the meaning of the words awkwardly. Did he ask himself to help again? But why should there be an intersection with Noel...

Suddenly, Lu Yu sat up suddenly, and he stared blankly at Luo Ye's face, his slightly vicissitudes face showed a feeling of deja vu.

"You..." In view of Royer's outrageous dialogue and performance just now, Lu Yu didn't dare to make a conclusion, and swallowed back what he was about to blurt.

Seeing Lu Yu's reaction, the corners of Royer's mouth turned up, a little relieved: "About a year and a half ago, when a consul who was born and died with me was clearing the warehouse, he found that all kinds of resources and resources that were distributed to the victims of the dipping war There are discrepancies in the accounts, and the magistrate who measured and counted the land use also reported that the number of acres specially approved for planting dream grass in certain areas is far more than the reported number. Again and again, a huge vacuum that has never been counted placed in front of me."

"I found that this number can be traced back to the first winter after the end of Imbued Spirit. Combined with the number of specially approved Sligo noble business routes for the sale of monster materials in that winter, there was also an abnormal number. What are they doing? Menqing. I stopped the investigation..."

Royer sighed softly, "Lu Yu, after becoming a leader, I realized that managing an adventurer team or a union is different from managing a territory or a country. Everyone has their own ideas. It is not an easy thing for people to unite and fight for the same goal... Hatred of Solon and not wanting to be the subjects of Tania and Zenir are the driving force behind many people, but they became the lord of a place by leaps and bounds However, the change of status and identity made them lose themselves, if there are some ambitious guys to add fuel to the flames..."

In an instant, Lu Yu understood everything.

Royer continued: "The foundation of the principality is fragile. The people in this land are united by being hostile to Solon, but now Zenier and Tania's propaganda have abandoned the orthodoxy of the country of Solon. , They don't even recognize that they are the heirs of Divic's stupid king, but they are the pioneers who raised the banner in response to the times, and compete with good treatment and benefits. Although the people of the Principality hate Solon, the style of these two Comments are not as ugly as Divic, so I have to clean up the garbage and create a benign environment that can compete with them, otherwise the population loss is only a matter of time, but..."

Lu Yu answered: "However, some of the companions who helped you close the northern border and repel Tanya and Zenier's black owl have forgotten their original goals. After the situation in the Principality has improved, they can't help but use their identities for personal gain. , until now, you are still colluding with your staff to conceal it. You want drastic reforms, but the group of people who are already enjoying and sucking blood will definitely not agree, and it may even be possible..."

Royer smiled bitterly: "Sorry for talking to you like that just now, but I have to show a gesture of protecting them."

"When did your acting skills get so good?" Lu Yu was still skeptical.

"Sitting in this position, you can learn it naturally."

Lu Yu rubbed his chin: "So you want me to connect with Noel, let him eradicate border smuggling, clear up prohibited drugs, exert strong pressure on the principality, and even launch a substantial invasion to give you a logical excuse ?”

"I really don't know much about Noel. Some people say he is fatuous, some say he is smart and capable, and what I am most worried about is that this request will make him covet the territory of the principality, so I really want to hear from you opinions, weigh the pros and cons, and then make a decision.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu completely dispelled his doubts, and for some reason, his heart relaxed a lot.

"You picked a good time. Now Noel is not interested in the territory at all. You can talk about how to cooperate specifically...Why, don't you believe me?" Seeing that Royer hesitated, Lu Yu immediately asked.

"No, it's just... I think your words are too absolute."

"That's because you don't understand him."

Before making a bridge for Luo Ye, Lu Yu asked seriously: "Do you know about the pill?"

Royer looked serious: "This matter was indeed not ordered by me, and I guarantee you with my personality. I know you will think that I have changed a lot, but if I remain the same, how can I deter my subordinates and convince the people? It can be said... We can't go back to three years ago. In my position, there are many things that cannot be controlled by myself, and there are many things that cannot be defined by the simple "right or wrong" in ordinary people's concepts. Ask yourself, if there are One day something threatens the Dawn Territory, and you have to hurt others to protect everything you protect, what choice will you make?"

Lu Yu responded in silence, but silence is the best answer.

Royer paused, and then said: "I thought you would worry about Shalem leaving, I lost the statue you gave, but it seems... If I touch these, it will be completely useless in your heart Medicine, right?"

"In my hometown, touching these things means a dead end. My education does not allow me to be with people like you. If it weren't for the friendship you once had, you wouldn't even have the opportunity to explain it to me alone."

"No matter how many times, I will feel sorry for the moral code of your homeland..."

After going through the information just now in his mind, Lu Yu sighed softly, and suddenly said: "Royer, in just three years, you have already found it difficult to control the organizational structure you have established. Although it is not appropriate to say this, but... let's end it .”

Knowing that Luo Ye would definitely refuse, Lu Yu still couldn't vomit.

Don't play with the dishes!

"The northern border needs a king. I promised them that even if I falter, I will go on. This is the path I chose, and I don't regret it." Royer looked firmly, "Contact Noel for me."

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Lu Yu stopped persuading him.

Sure enough, Noel knew that someone in his country was transshipping pills. He even knew better than Royer the composition, sales channels and routes of this group of drug dealers. The reason why he didn't start for a long time was also because the internal conflicts had not been completely resolved. , so it was put on hold for the time being, and now that the territory to be retained has been confirmed, all his plans have been put on the agenda.

Maybe it was because of Lu Yu's connection, maybe both parties could benefit from this matter, Noel agreed very readily, and quickly finalized some details of the initial operation.

After talking on the phone, Royer had a brand new impression of his neighbor to the east—it was completely different from the rumored Noel, and he and Lu Yu were really very familiar with each other. , Lu Yu can even provide advice, which can be adopted immediately.

His face looks very useful.

"You have made up your mind, and I will not persuade you anymore. I will help you if you can. Remember, no matter how poor you are in the future, as long as you are still the Royer who has no regrets in his heart, the one who is willing to draw his sword to be a little mud Luo Ye, who seeks justice, the leader of Chenxi will still open the door to you." Lu Yu said earnestly, "I hope you don't close this door yourself."

Royer smiled wryly: "I hope so."

"Want to talk to Sharem?"

"Is she doing well in Chenxi?"

"It was very sad at first, and I didn't understand why you changed. You, who were close to Augustus and acquiesced in his decision to destroy the people and exile the army, were very strange to her. Later, I gradually became relieved and learned to farm, grow flowers, and take care of them. Slime, everyone likes her very much, and she also likes this place very much, if you don't come, she is almost better."

"I shouldn't have a chance to visit here in person in the future, Augustus will be executed soon... By the way, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"

"For Royer in the past, you can judge right or wrong. Now you... It may be more appropriate to talk about interests. You successfully resisted the offensive of Tanya and Zenier and established a country. This history may be remembered in future generations. Someone described to you as a necessary strategic deployment, no matter where, the winners and the strong will be praised."

Royer took a deep breath: "She likes me who is carefree, and hopes to be carefree together. She is very naive, as if she doesn't belong to this world... Struggle is dirty, everything is for survival, I can only say that it is really impossible to go back to the past, and I am very satisfied to hear that she is very happy."

The communication statues were secretly sent in by Xuyu, this time, Lu Yu gave two.

There was a smile on the corner of Royer's mouth: "It's important... Looking at it, I think of us back then."

"There will be no reissues." Lu Yu reminded, "Also, don't act half of the play, I will help you make up the other half, no matter what happens to you in the future..."

Royer was still thinking about the meaning of these words, and the wind of fists was approaching.

An angry punch made Royer stagger, and the surging wind element caused his undefended body to float slightly, twirled and rolled out, and smashed heavily on the round table in the distance, sending sawdust flying across.

Lu Yu breathed heavily: "This punch is counted as my helping Xia Leimu, and this punch is counted as the little mud boy's head!"

Hearing this, Royer didn't hide.

The movement inside the house quickly alarmed the people waiting outside the door. When they rushed in, they saw the injuries on Lu Yu and Luo Ye. In a messy room, Royer's followers and combat team instantly entered a fighting state. Surging magic power enveloped the entire chamber.

Eunice, the chicken thief, has come to a corner that is not being noticed. According to her calculation, as long as she completes the chant of the spirit, this group of drug addicts will definitely become ice sculptures. If they perform well, they may be rewarded by Sigrid.

Royer was furious: "This is your way of hospitality, do you do it if you don't agree with it?"

"I'll help Shalem beat you, aren't you convinced?"

The dialogue between the two intensified the tension between the two sides.

"Let's go!" Royer waved his hand, turned and left without looking back, and the followers beside him were vigilantly blocking the people led by Chen Xi.

In the corridor, Royer and Shalem passed each other, looking at each other in silence.

Not long after leaving Chenxi Territory, Augustus suddenly knelt down on one knee and stopped moving forward.

Royer smiled, and personally helped up the "wise man" who helped him out in a timely manner.

"The principality is tough. They have experienced so much and want to enjoy it. I can understand it. I can understand it because they are afraid of my opposition."

Augustus, who was afraid of being liquidated, suddenly raised his head, dripping with cold sweat, and said in trepidation: "Your Majesty, I admit that I have made a plan for this matter."

"Do you think I'm speaking ironically? If I were ironic, I would take the bad name for you and fight with him?" Royer sneered, "Although the northern border can be self-sufficient, it is not yet rich. Since There are benefits to be gained here, why not? Like I said, it's a business, and we're just catering to the needs of the nobles in Sligo."

Augustus was stunned, his brain was running fast, and the scenes just now were connected in series in his mind, and he was still extremely flustered with ecstasy in his heart.

"You don't think I didn't notice those little tricks, did you? Not stopping it is because it makes money. It has nothing to do with the addiction of people in Sligo, Green Shade, and Storm. Only those who use unscrupulous methods can stand firm and hold on tight." Right, isn't that what you told me once?"

Augustus tentatively said, "Your Majesty wants to..."

"Add a few caravans and expand output. I want to get my share. Of the income, they must give 10% to the Principality... Well, this is just my hasty idea. It needs to be discussed in detail after returning. "

Royer put his arms around Augustus's shoulders and continued to move forward: "I was at a disadvantage in the duel with Tanya and Zenier before, and I was thinking about it, and I understand more and more why you always persuade me, and I should let go of some bottom lines , more decisive, more unscrupulous... Now that I think about it, I am indeed a little bit tied."

Augustus breathed a sigh of relief and complimented: "The principality's foundation is weak, and I want to fight against the brother and sister who have accumulated Solon, want to deal with the threat of the watch elves from the north, and guard against the threat of Sligo from the east. It is really a bad strategy, only by taking chestnuts from the fire can we win by surprise, it is a blessing for the people of the Principality that His Majesty understands this."

Touching the wound Lu Yu left on his cheek, Royer grinned, "Friends are really unreliable, only you are the help I can rely on."

Augustus quickly responded: "Your Majesty can understand what I said, and he will definitely lead the Principality to a further step in the future."

Staring at Augustus' head, the corners of Royer's mouth rose.

"I hope we can all see that day." (End of this chapter)
