We are not philanthropists, and the town of Moramachi is not a place where we can just come and go. Since this place has provided them with a guarantee of survival, it is only natural that they should pay something. Alice said slowly: "My goal from the beginning has been to absorb their power. Names like Iron-Blooded Rose, War Flame, and Nameless will never appear again. Although I have never said it clearly, I believe that the members of those mercenary groups will never appear again." The elders have long been prepared to meet their fate. "
"Manlin did that just because he knew what you were thinking?"
"Needless to say, he is a very ambitious person."
"I understand what you are thinking, but... do you think we will succeed?" An Fei nodded: "I met the couple from the Shadow Mercenary Group on the road. I can see that they care about you and Man Lin. The opinions are huge, and not everyone is willing to give in!”
"What did they say to you?"
"They said that Manlin basically forced them to be lackeys."
"They are embarrassed to tell you the truth. I know about that. The reason is that Nibson coveted Ling's beauty and often looked for opportunities to do something to Ling. So they couldn't bear it and had to find a way to escape from Moramachi Town. ." Alice saw that An Fei's attitude was very low-key. He was indeed discussing issues with her. There was no condescension like cross-examination. Finally, a faint smile appeared on her face: "There are only two of them in the Shadow Mercenary Group. What can be lost? Even if there is any loss, the loss is far from compared with other group leaders."
"Are you sure that no one will oppose us?"
"I can't guarantee this, but with your ability, I believe you can solve these small conflicts perfectly." Alice smiled and said: "Sir, when you come back, what is the attitude of Ozguch and others towards you? "
"Very enthusiastic and respectful." An Fei also laughed.
"Manlin has raised the issue of mercenary adaptation several times. Ozguch and the others have never let go and are firmly opposed to Manlin. But if you raise the same issue, what do you think they will do?"
"This...it's hard to say." An Fei said thoughtfully: "I have saved them once before, but they can choose to remember this kind of thing in their hearts, or they can choose to forget it. Now they are willing to stand on my side, or It's just because I'm stronger than Manlin. If I meet someone more suitable in the future, I can't guarantee what they will do."
"You're wrong. I guess they will fully support you, even if you want to break up all their people and reorganize them."
"Are you too confident?"
"No, you are too cautious and think too sinisterly about people's hearts, just like..." Alice suddenly stopped and changed the subject: "My lord, if you have a family heirloom, because of an encounter Disaster, the treasure must be sold. Would you just find someone and start negotiating the price?"
Like what? Is it like I've been doubting you? An Fei smiled and shook his head: "No, because this kind of treasure can only be sold once. Of course I have to find the most suitable person."
"They can only sell it once, and Manlin is by no means the most suitable person."
"I've thought about what you said, but..."
"Are you worried about their loyalty?" Alice sighed slightly: "Don't worry about this. Although mercenaries can also scheming, they are bloody, far better than those who shake their heads and sway with each other and fight with each other. Barking nobles are more trustworthy. Even if you deprive them of their power in the future. As long as you give them a hope, they will not betray you. In fact, I should congratulate you now. You already have a group of trustworthy subordinates. .”
"I think Kumarajiva is more worthy of my trust." An Fei said with a smile.
"..." Alice was stunned and said slowly: "My lord, I can guarantee that no matter when the time comes, Kumarajiva will never betray you, just like I will never betray you!"
"Haha... I believe you. Otherwise, I wouldn't come to talk to you." An Fei's smile is more sincere than Alice's, and his eyes are clearer than Alice's. In fact, only he knows it. When he stepped through the door, he was still weighing the left and right. If Alice's answer was not reasonable and satisfactory to him, maybe Alice would soon become another person.
"Sir, do you know Kumarajiva? I find that you are very interested in him."
"Since the last conflict with him in the town of Moramachi, I sent people to investigate his life. He is a respectable and capable general. If he can be taken seriously, he will become the leader of the Shansha Empire. Eli!" An Fei sighed: "It's a pity that those who are loyal to him are deeply prejudiced against him, while those who truly appreciate him cannot get his loyalty."
"I'm relieved about this." Alice pursed her lips and smiled.
A few meters below the house, Morocco and a few soldiers were silently listening to the conversation above. In front of him was an iron pipe covered with vines. The conversation between An Fei and Alice started from the iron pipe. Although the sound coming out was very slight, it was enough for them to hear clearly. Jiu Moluo Gesha definitely didn't expect An Fei to have such a high opinion of him. Who is Beeri? He with
The commander of the Empire's Dark Moon Magic Legion, Niuinheim, has the same name. They are equal to the banner of victory. Carrying the name of a traitor, Kumarakusa has become accustomed to hearing ridicule and insults. These words made him heartbroken. Inexplicably excited, he unconsciously pulled off the vines on the iron pipe, held it in his hands and started kneading it.
"What are you worried about?" An Fei asked in surprise.
"I originally didn't want Kumarajiva to have too much contact with you, just because I was afraid that you would be wary of him and eventually destroy him. Since you appreciate him so much..." Alice thought for a moment: "Then you let him Take it with you, you are already an earl now, how can you not even have bodyguards by your side? With Jiu Morocosa's ability, he will be a qualified captain of the bodyguards."
"Forget it, he is hostile to me, and doing this will make him even more disgusted." An Fei smiled bitterly, and while he smiled bitterly, he had already laid an insidious trap for Alice.
An Fei knows that in some aspects, he does not have Alice's long-term vision and is not as sensitive as Alice, but he also has areas in which he is good at. Alice is good at handling political affairs and has a certain reputation in the Shansha Empire. However, after she escaped from marriage, she took her maid to a strange caravan for help and ended up becoming a slave girl. This is a typical example of being smart in big things but confused in small things. , but An Fei is always right in similar small things, and rarely makes mistakes. These two completely different performances have nothing to do with their personal abilities, and completely depend on the upbringing and experience of the acquired environment.
An Fei's field of vision has reached an unimaginable level. As long as there is natural life and as long as he is willing, his field of vision can be expanded at any time, and Kumarajiva has long been sensed by him. Those words are also deliberately aimed at Kumarajiva. Sha said. If Alice was ambitious and selfish, she would definitely be reluctant to send the only general she could trust to An Fei, not to mention that the reason for his refusal was humane, and Alice could take the opportunity to withdraw the topic.
"The key is what you think of him, nothing else is important." Alice said naturally: "Just let him stay with you, so that he can better utilize his abilities. I don't want to see him being Buried, or never recovered.”
"Let's talk about it later." An Fei finally relaxed at this moment, with a hint of ridicule in his tone: "It seems that even if I don't come back, you are sure to get rid of Manlin?"
"He's basically unguarded against me. If you plan well, it should be easy."
"Then why wait until now?"
"Sir, mercenaries are unruly. If you want to gain their approval, you must show something, for example, iron blood! We must carry out reforms. If you use force to force those mercenaries to surrender, even if you receive a certain amount of The effect will also arouse the resentment of some other people." Alice smiled and said: "It just so happens that Manlin was destroyed by you. You successfully demonstrated your power and means without harming other people. Everything went smoothly. ”
"I mean, you can do these things, there's no need to wait for me to come back."
"I'm just a woman without roots. I don't need them to fear me or obey me. You are their best choice."
An Fei smiled and crossed his legs. Alice had explained so clearly that all doubts had been washed away. He pondered for a moment: "By the way, Alice, do you know Sejialan?"
"Sejialan..." Alice's expression changed drastically, and she showed a forced smile after a while: "Sir, how did you think of asking about her?"
"Haha... She is so famous now." An Fei had a solemn look on his face. He saw hatred like a volcano erupting in Alice's eyes. Could it be that these two women had conflicts before
"The one I admire most is Princess Victoria, who serves as my role model. But Sejialan is not interested in how to deal with political affairs. She just wants to avenge her mother, so she has taken another path since she was a child."
"Do you have a grudge against her?" An Fei said straight to the point.
"Sir, don't you understand? The empire can only have one Princess Supervisor, and I am the final loser." Perhaps because she didn't want An Fei to see the ferocity on her face, Alice turned her face sideways and spoke word by word. Said: "What I can't forget is that I never wanted to hurt her, but she hurt me without any hesitation!"
An Fei suddenly realized that Alice admired Princess Victoria and took Princess Victoria as her role model. Then everything became clear. Autonomous marriage was just a wish of Alice. Wishes and ideals were not the same thing. Only by becoming the next princess of the Supervisory Country is her real target, and as Victoria's daughter, Sejialan, the prison princess is also her target, and the fight between the two is inevitable. However, from Alice's tone, she still sticks to flesh-and-blood family ties and her methods are too gentle, so she can't forget the hurt she suffered.
At this moment, Susanna's voice sounded outside: "An Fei, are you in there?"
"I'm going back first. You should rest early." An Fei stood up and said after a moment of hesitation: "Relax, after all, the matter has already passed, right?"
