Chapter 1619 Induction

No wonder after gathering the military strength of the two countries, Airui City and York Han City still remain hidden, always teasing the bottom line of Dashai City. It turns out that there is still such a constraint.

After pondering for a moment, I asked: "What if we just keep teasing the other side's bottom line and don't clearly send troops to start a war?"

"In this case." Cecil pondered slightly, his eyes flashed suddenly, and he said: "We can really exploit the loopholes in the treaty and force Moonlight City and Fort Vicky to stand aside."

"That's right," I said calmly, "As long as it is not done openly and openly, no matter how secretly it is done, it does not violate the treaty."

"Now the two sides are in the stage of exploring each other's bottom lines. It would be okay if the bottom lines of Ai Rui City and York Han City are touched first, but if the bottom line of Dasai City is touched first, I am afraid it will trigger a protracted war. In war, blood will flow everywhere, corpses will float thousands of miles away, and it will even be impossible to shake the foundation of the country."

"I'm afraid your words are a bit exaggerated," Cecil said: "Dasai City has been at war with the two countries for hundreds of years. Most of them are undefeated. Occasionally, a few small defeats cannot shake the general trend."

"Then let me ask you, in the history of a hundred years, among the three countries, have there been any monarchs who have discord between father and son, or between brothers?"

"How do I know this?" Cecil said: "Even if there is, it is a secret and rarely spread among the people."

"No," I shook my head and said, "What you said is wrong."

He frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Although the royal family and nobles are separated from the people, most of their attendants and maids are selected from the people. These people may be cautious and walk on thin ice on weekdays, but once they return home from a visit to relatives, they will visit relatives and friends, and when they are drunk with wine, I'm afraid that I might take advantage of the drunkenness to reveal some anecdotes that I normally wouldn't dare to tell as condiments for drinking. So the secrets of the royal family that you mentioned before may not be leaked out. I dare you to reveal them. It is asserted that there are not even one out of ten secrets that can really be hidden by the royal family and nobility."

Cecil wanted to refute, but stopped his impulse. He thought for a moment and said, "If what you said is true, then during the hundred years of war, none of these three countries would have had civil strife."

"Although this is my conjecture, it is also the crux of the problem," I said: "It is precisely because there is no civil strife in the three countries that they will continue to test each other and attack each other, but they are unwilling to kill each other and make a desperate move. As for the war that has lasted for hundreds of years, but no country has shaken the foundation of the country, such a war is just a game between three monarchs. To put it bluntly, it means that the three old guys are bored and take the war as fun. This is just to relieve boredom."

Cecil was sweating when he heard this. He swallowed subconsciously and lowered his voice: "You can't say this casually. If the current monarch hears it, it will be a serious crime of blaspheming the monarch's ancestors!"

I waved my hand and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, you won't be overheard. Firstly, this is your territory and you will definitely not be eavesdropped. Secondly, even if the Beastman King hears it, he won't blame me heavily. At most, he will remove the prime minister." Well, to put it bluntly, this position of prime minister is dispensable to me. It may bring more salary, but it also brings more troubles. Without it, I feel relaxed and free from restraints."

Cecil took out his handkerchief, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said bitterly: "You are not afraid, there are Moonlight City and Wychburg behind you, but I can't. My only supporter, Rodney, I don't know where he is yet." , even if he knew it, it would be in vain. He is only the third young master of Airui City. Not to mention whether he can succeed the city lord, even if he wants to ascend to the throne, he must first get through the obstacles of his two brothers."

At this point, he could no longer speak and could only sigh deeply.

"Rodney may not be able to protect you, but I can." I smiled slightly and said, "As you just said, I have two countries as my backers. With me having such a strong backer, as your backing, you also have What is there to be afraid of?"

Cecil smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that you are not willing to let me go at all?"

"This is an ugly thing to say." I shook my head and said, "This is not about letting go, but I appreciate you very much. If you can rely on your advantages to support an intelligence organization for me, I will be very happy, no matter what. Either as a friend or as a background.”

Cecil's face flashed. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Give me some time to think about it."

"Okay" I smiled and said, "Don't take too long, otherwise even if you figure it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare the time, money and energy to help you."

Cecil forced a smile and said: "I know, I will try my best."

After that, he got up and went out.

I was alone in the secret room, pouring and drinking, savoring the fragrance of tea, and thinking about life.

About two hours later, the door opened and Harold came in.

I stood up, led him to the coffee table, and poured him a cup of tea.

Harold might be a little hungry, so he took the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp. Then he picked up several snacks that had been placed on the table and gulped them down.

I sat aside, picked up the teapot, and continued to pour him tea.

After pouring seven or eight cups of tea, Harold burped and said, "Sorry, I didn't have breakfast. I'm a little hungry."

"I think this is very good. It has the same feeling as when we first met." I smiled and said: "At that time, you were the leader of one of the largest guilds in Airui City, and I was a wandering adventurer who also served as the guild leader of a small guild. long."

Harold laughed and said: "It's different now. I'm no longer the president of a large guild, but you have grown into a hero who can only cover the sky."

"It's not important," I said, "I just remember that when I was a wandering adventurer, there was a president of a large guild who treated me like a friend. When I took advantage of his guild, he could still show his broad-mindedness. The most valuable thing is to have a big heart and tolerate the greed of wandering adventurers."

After Harold heard this, he burst into laughter. There was both emotion and loss in his laughter.

After he stopped laughing, I continued: "Perhaps it won't be long before you can return to your former glory and continue to serve as the president of a large guild. And this time, you will no longer be as popular as you were in Airui City. It’s just a puppet president.”

Harold's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said: "What do you mean?"

"Jin Siqi cannot always be the president of the New Brave Guild," I said. "After we get married in the future, I will take her back to me. At that time, the operation and development of the New Brave Guild will all depend on you."

Harold trembled, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Actually, you don't need to be so surprised. I have long wanted Jin Siqi to retreat behind the scenes. Although she is extremely capable, she lacks courage, and you are exactly the opposite of her. You lack ability, but you are extremely courageous, and you can shock the guild. , As long as you can choose a suitable vice president to assist you in the future, the future of the New Heroic Guild will surely be limitless."
