silence!
Deathly silence! !
In the huge hall, there seems to be only the occasional crackling sound of kerosene bursting from the huge brazier.
In this beautiful palace meeting room in this palace, the atmosphere at this moment seems to be frozen and tense! !
Adrick just stood there quietly, his face seemed calm, but in fact his heart was already surging! Just in front of him, above the steps, was the young imperial emperor, His Majesty Garcia, dressed in a white robe, looking thin, but his face was ashen, his eyes gloomy, and he was sitting in his seat silently.
In the hands of the emperor, there is a letter!
At this moment, in this council room, standing in front of the emperor, in addition to Adric, there is the silver-haired old prime minister of the empire, Sarum Bonelli, who is old and frail, sitting on a chair. , At this moment, he frowned and pursed his mouth tightly, and there was no joy or anger in his eyes.
Adrick's side, a bloated and fat body, with a three-point faint smile on his face, but it is the cunning fat man Ruhr.
As for Adrick's back, a mighty middle-aged man with silver hair is Butler!
In the main hall, I am afraid that only this silver-haired man Butler is at a loss at this moment. He really didn't understand that the letter that Xia Ya asked him to send would actually lead to such a big scene!
His Majesty the Emperor, the Prime Minister, General Adric, and General Ruhr were all gathered together by a letter from that little Xiaya...
It was a day ago that Charyato Butler brought back this letter.
Although Butler was full of doubts at that time, at the request of Xia Ya, he seemed to sense that the matter was not simple, so he could only suppress the doubts in his heart, leaving his troops to return to the surrendering army and bring them back slowly. He himself immediately took two personal guards and quickly returned to Osgilia.
In the rebel camp outside the city, he took himself out to hunt down the rebels, reported to Adrick about the encounter with Char, and took out Char's letter at the same time.
Adrick was naturally shocked when he heard the news!
The news he knew was that the Odins had invaded southwards, and the small local officer of Moor County, Char, would probably bear the brunt of the Odins' attack, although Adrick originally appreciated Char and knew that Char would bear the brunt of the attack. With Green's mad dog assisting him, but the Odin army is heading south, even if Adric is bold, he will not dare to hope that Xia Ya can defend the country against foreign aggression - the best outcome is just to be defeated and leave, if unlucky Some, I am afraid they have already been defeated and died...
But the news that Butler brought back not only surprised Adrick, but also raised a lot of doubts in his heart!
In particular, Butler stated that Xia Yanan came down as "King of Diligence", and the army he brought with him included a large cavalry, and he was a first-class elite!
In Butler's evaluation, "I'm afraid it is comparable to our old Rodriguez army!"
How could the small military officer of Moore County pull out thousands of elites comparable to the Rodriguez cavalry? !
However, fortunately, the fat man Ruhr was by Adric's side at the time. As soon as he heard Butler's report, Ruhr knew it!
The seeds of the Rodriguez cavalry he left behind when the entire army rushed to the city seemed to be really collected by Xiaya.
Ruhl immediately told the secret move he made, and Adric listened to it, but he was also noncommittal, at least the doubts in his heart dissipated a little.
But when he opened the sealed letter from Xi Ya and looked at it, Adrick was really shocked!
is shocked! ! Absolutely shocked! !
The sealed letter was actually two different letters, one was written by Char Ya to Adric, and the other was an "official document" that Char Ya planned to write, in the form of a military newspaper. Documents handed over to the Imperial Center.
The personal letter from Char to Adrick was only read by Adrick and Ruhl at the time, and even Butler was just standing outside the tent waiting.
To Butler's surprise, it was clear that this battle was a brilliant victory, and the rebels were defeated in one fell swoop. With such a grand victory, Adrick was in a high mood, and he chased down the defeated rebels and returned to his life. elated.
But after reading Xiaya's letter, Adrick suddenly seemed to change his face!
Not only did Adric change his face, but even the fat man Ruhl, who had always been a bit of a slut, also changed his face. It was clearly not only extremely shocked, but also a little nervous and worried!
Immediately, Adrick immediately ordered to take Ruhl back to the city to meet the emperor, and named Butler to go with him.
After arriving in the palace and having an audience with the emperor, Adric handed the secret letter from Xia Ya to the emperor—of course it was the official document, the private secret letter from Xia Ya to Adric, in fact, after Adric read it. , it was burned directly in front of Luer!
After reading the official document, His Majesty the Emperor's expression suddenly changed dramatically. At first, he seemed to be shocked and ecstatic, but then he immediately turned into doubts. In the end, there was a hint of unhappiness, and that unpleasant appearance finally condensed into After a haze, they gathered between the eyebrows! Even those eyes seemed a little gloomy!
Of course, Butler was not qualified to see the contents of the official document, but after following Adric to meet the emperor, he watched the young emperor's expression change with his own eyes. The emperor immediately called the guards and sent someone to invite the prime minister to discuss matters. Butler realized that things are really not easy!
It's not easy! !
After the Prime Minister arrived, and the emperor showed the Prime Minister Xi Ya's official document, Sarum Bonelli also changed color.
In the hall, it fell into a dead silence!
Finally, after a while, Adrick coughed, bowed to the emperor above, and said slowly, "Your Majesty, I brought General Butler here, and I asked him to tell him what happened to Xiaya. Let's face you again."
Then, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Adrick turned to look at Butler and said slowly: "Butler, tell me, you chased the rebels all the way, how did you meet Xia on the way, what happened, one thing Say one thing carefully."
Butler's heart was full of doubts, but of course he wouldn't disobey Adrick's words, so he had to be patient and tell it slowly. be clear.
After Butler finished speaking, Adrick nodded to him, and then sighed: "Thank you for your hard work, Butler... Well, the military affairs are heavy, and the surrendering troops are still gathering outside the city, so you can go first."
Butler immediately understood: the next thing these big bosses are going to discuss, is not qualified to participate in his own level, he immediately nodded, and then looked up at the emperor above.
Garcia frowned, as if he was a little unhappy about Adric's ordering directly to Butler after passing him, but then the emperor nodded and gave Butler a solemn look: "It's hard work, general. You go first."
After Butler withdrew with full of doubts, the atmosphere in the hall seemed to be getting more and more nervous!
For a long time, whether it was the emperor, the prime minister, or Adrian Krul, everyone was silent.
I don't know how long it took, Prime Minister Saron Bonelli suddenly stood up, bowed to Emperor Garcia, then turned to look at Adric, and solemnly said: "Lord Adric, this Xia thunders. , is from your subordinate, if it comes to the understanding of people, you are the most important, or please tell me... This official document, the content is really appalling, is it true or false... "
Adrick's expression did not change, and he immediately said firmly: "I naturally believed in Xia Yaleiming. He is brave and courageous, and his aptitude is outstanding! He will never falsely report this kind of thing!"
After a pause, Adrick said again: "Besides, this official document was not written by him alone. There is also a joint name of Green below. Green is a veteran of the Imperial Army. !"
Green's identity was brought out, and the old prime minister nodded - Green was a standard eagle general, and a loyal imperial general of the royal family, which is naturally no doubt.
It's just... the content of this official document is too shocking! !
Adric and the Prime Minister also said these two sentences, and then they both looked at each other and closed their mouths at the same time.
After a while of silence, Emperor Garcia finally took a deep breath.
The young emperor spoke up.
He seemed to smile at first, as if he wanted to show some pleasure, but the coldness in his laughter could not be concealed.
"Haha, haha... So from the content of this thing, I have another famous general in Byzantium!"
When it came to the word "famous general", the emperor's tone seemed a little weird, and he seemed to subconsciously accentuate the taste of the word, and looked up at Adric slowly.
Then the emperor slowly picked up the thing on the table and unfolded it.
"It's written very clearly... Hey! Odin Chixue's army is heading south, and he Xia's defending the city, swearing to the death, and leaving Odin's food, he is a loyal general who fights alone. And this Duan 'Chen gathers the place, collects the remnants of the army, self-reinforcing, for the smooth flow of military orders, and has to act cheaply and beyond power', he is decisive enough! Hehe! And here's the army to go south, attack the chieftains of the Chixue army, break them, behead them Chief Manninger, destroying the Chixue Army, for the sake of the empire, captures all of them! 'What a good one! This Xiaya is a ruthless man! Hey! General Adrick, you have trained a powerful man character!"
This sentence is obviously a compliment, but when the yin-filled young emperor said it, he faintly came with a strange taste.
"And here... 'Temporary leadership of Mor County, Syltan County, and the local military administration of the Corsica Military Region'... This Char, destroyed Odin's legion in one go, and conquered the land of three counties for the empire in one fell swoop. Such a big credit, such a great ability! Hehe! He also turned against the Besta Military Region! It is clearly written in this official document that the Besta Military Region has surrendered and broke away from the rebels early. This time, Xia Yanan came down to King Qin and brought Among the troops that came, more than half of them were from the Besta Military Region! Humph... More County, Syltan County, Corsica Military Region, Besta Military Region, ah, yes, there is one who was temporarily taken by the Besta Military Region' The escort's county of Esria! This Char, now controls five counties, right? Heroes come out of troubled times, hehe, heroes come out of troubled times! He is young, and he is a young man. He has also been to the imperial capital, and I have seen this person with my own eyes, but at the time, why didn't I see that this Xia Yaleiming had such great abilities?"
When Emperor Garcia said this, his tone became slower and slower: "He controls the land of five counties, and has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command. This time, he brought 10,000 cavalry to the south to King Qin... This Xiaya, look You are very loyal to the empire.”
Adrick raised his eyebrows and said nothing. Sarumbonelli raised his eyes and glanced at the young emperor, and finally continued to keep his mouth shut.
When the emperor said this, he seemed to be out of breath, and then gritted his teeth, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he stared at Adric closely: "Adric, I ask you a few questions. I have doubts in my heart, please also ask you The Minister of Military Affairs is here to explain my doubts!"
"Your Majesty..." Adric frowned.
Garcia took a deep breath and said slowly: "First, since this Xia Yaleiming brought troops to King Qin, he is naturally loyal, but why didn't the troops go directly to the city, but were placed dozens of miles away from the city. Why don't he come to see me directly by himself, but send someone to send such an official document?"
Adrick was silent.
The emperor's eyes became sharper and sharper: "Second, this Xia now controls the land of five counties and has tens of thousands of troops. Well, I remember that he should only be the military commander of More County, right? He only wrote in his official document. He now controls how many places and how many troops he has gathered, but why did he not ask the central government what to do with it? Why did he not ask the central government to send a proper minister to take over the place? No words!! Did he forget? Or does he think he, the military commander of More County, can take over the land of the five counties on my behalf? Or does he imply that I should give him a promotion for this great man?"
Adrick remained silent.
A trace of anger flashed on Garcia's face, and then quickly disappeared. He looked at Adric: "What? Minister of Military Affairs, can't you help me answer these questions?"
Immediately, the emperor looked at Sarumbonelli again: "How about you, Prime Minister?"
Sarumbonelli coughed, pondered a little, raised his head, but his tone was very calm: "Your Majesty, do you want to hear my opinion?"
"Of course." The emperor nodded and said lightly, "Does the Prime Minister have any concerns?"
Sarumbonelli stood up, looked at the emperor, and took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, I feel that these two doubts of yours, at this moment, are no longer the top priority, but... For the time being, you can get over the problem first. carry."
The emperor's eyes froze, and then he frowned: "Oh? Then tell me, what is the most urgent task?"
Salon Bonelli glanced at Adrick calmly: "The most urgent task is how to treat this Lord Xia Lei Ming. Is it a reward, or call him into the city to see him..."
The prime minister is really old-fashioned, but the meaning behind his words is very clear: no matter what the reason is, what the process is, anyway, the fact is now in front of you! Your Majesty, instead of worrying about these things, why don't you spend that much effort and just decide on a way to deal with it!
The emperor frowned, and at this moment, Adric raised his head, as if he had finally made up his mind, and was about to speak... Suddenly, Ruhr, who was behind him, secretly and quietly pulled the corner of Adric's shirt!
Then Fatty didn't wait for Adrick to react, and he opened his mouth first!
"His Majesty!"
"Oh?" Garcia looked a little unnatural, looked at Ruhr, but his tone immediately became calm, but his heart was extremely awkward at the moment... When facing Ruhr, the young emperor always felt in his heart. It smells of unnatural guilt.
Speaking of which, I was able to successfully inherit the throne, and until now, I have relied on this fat general to fight to the death that night, to protect himself into the city, and the entire army to be destroyed... Every time he faced the fat man, the emperor's heart was full of fear. The feeling of guilt and indebtedness cannot be hidden, but an awkward feeling is even more obvious!
Great enmity!
That's probably what it means.
However, in terms of face, it is still necessary to have a polite and peaceful posture. After all, everyone knows that 90% of the crown on their head is exchanged for the life of the whole army by this Ruhr.
"Your Majesty, I have a few words." Luer said slowly without changing his face.
"General Ruhr, please speak." Garcia said "kindly".
Ruhl smiled, as if it seemed to be very relaxed: "I'll ask General Adric first, and then the chancellor. My Byzantine Empire and the Odins have been at war for centuries. It's a feud. It's been a hundred years, and to say a shameful word, we lose more and win less. I just want to ask General Adric and the Prime Minister to recall that they have always fought against the Odins. Among the victories, they have made outstanding achievements. , has there ever been a precedent for destroying a legion of the Odins and beheading the enemy chieftain?"
The Prime Minister was speechless.
Adrick immediately understood what Ruhr meant, and said without hesitation: "Such a military exploit has never happened before!"
"Yes." Ruhl seemed to smile, still with that kind of rogue smile on his face: "I also remember, it seems that there has never been an Odin corps that can annihilate a single regiment of the Odins. The strong army of one of the tribes, even the old man of Manninger died... This kind of feat, it is not an exaggeration to say 'in the world' I absolutely don't have Ruhl. Well, General Adric, you can't do it, can you?"
Adric smiled a little inwardly, but said with a stern face: "Yes, I was a general of the Rodriguez cavalry, and I fought against the Odins for many years. Although I have a small victory, I am ashamed to say that the credit for annihilating a whole regiment, There has never been... well, such a great contribution has never been seen before."
"That's right." Ruhl smiled at Adric: "However, General Adric doesn't have to be too modest. You are the backbone of the empire. In this Great Patriotic War, you supported and protected the imperial capital. It can be called an empire. The head of the famous general." Speaking of which, Ruhl gave a thumbs up deliberately, and then smiled: "But this little Xia thundering is indeed a blockbuster, General Adric, something that a famous imperial general like you can't do, This little guy did it all at once. Such a talent, such a credit, I don't know, if it is based on the imperial military law, what kind of award should be awarded?"
Adrick thought for a while: "There is no precedent for such a great achievement. If it is awarded, it will have to be decided by the military after consultation."
Ruhl smiled: "I suddenly remembered one thing, this reward, but there is a case to be found."
Without waiting for the others to reflect, Luer said slowly: "I remember that when the late emperor was alive, this Xia Ya made military exploits. The late emperor called him to Beijing to see him and gave him the honor of being a hunter. The first emperor made an oath to kill the horse in public..."
The fat man's smile became more and more strange: "At that time, there were a lot of nobles and generals in the imperial capital participating in the hunt. Your Majesty seemed to be there at the time..."
The above Emperor Garcia's face was a little stiff.
Fatty didn't seem to see it at all, then put on a solemn posture, and said slowly: "The first emperor swore an oath, and made a promise to Xia Yaleiming with his own mouth that day, within three years, if you kill the Odin people Thirty thousand! I will make you an earl! One day, if you can bring the head of Hastings to me! I will make you a duke! If I die early, Xia Ya will make contributions in the future! This duke will be the successor to the emperor. Come to seal!! All of you present are imperial nobles, and they are all witnesses! 'Hehe... His Majesty the late emperor was wise, he saw early on that this Xia Yalei Ming was a talent that could be created, and he had already predicted that this son would become a great weapon in the future, so early A reward has been set. It's really admirable..."
Saying that, this hateful fat man still looked in admiration, shook his head and sighed.
Garcia sat on it, his face ashen, if it wasn't for a bit of rationality, he would almost spit in the past!
It's just that this fat fat man opened his mouth and closed his mouth, and carried out the "Emperor" Emperor Cantos, but how could he refute
The first emperor made an oath to do this, and he let all the powerful ministers witness it!
If you were an ordinary person, if you reneged on your oath, you would just be a fart, but who was the first emperor? As the son of the late emperor, if he did not act according to his father's oath, wouldn't he deliberately make the late emperor's heroic spirit uncomfortable? !
Garcia couldn't say a word to refute these words.
Fatty didn't seem to think it was enough, and turned to look at Adric: "Lord Adric, I don't know, how many people are there in the Odin Chixue Legion?"
Adric resisted the laughter in his heart and pretended to be calm: "The Odin army has always been of different sizes. The Kuochixue army is one of the five pro-armies of Odin's five tribes, and its strength will never be weaker than 40,000 or 50,000. It’s even more so. Based on this official document from Xia Ya, the number of enemies he annihilated this time is no less than 40,000.”
The fat man immediately put on an envious expression on purpose: "Forty thousand... ah, this lucky guy! The first emperor swore to make him an earl after killing thirty thousand enemies, and he killed forty thousand Odins in one go. Man, it seems that an earl cannot escape."
After a pause, the fat man thought it was not enough, so he pretended to be "naive" and looked at the prime minister: "Lord Chancellor, I don't know, this Red Snow Army Chief Manninger, the status of this guy, and Hastings In comparison, who is higher and who is lower?"
Saron Bonelli also looked a little ugly, and after hesitating, he finally smiled bitterly: "This Manninger is the patriarch of the Basak tribe, one of the five major tribes of Odin, a first-class dignitary in the Odin Empire, and God-Emperor Odin. Confidant, with tens of thousands of soldiers, and a strong clan... Uh, Hastings, he is Odin's number one general, with outstanding military exploits, that... If you talk about status, it's probably... probably quite..."
In fact, the old prime minister said this, and he blushed a little.
If it is true that Manninger and Hastings have a status in the Odin Empire, Manninger is undoubtedly higher than Hastings!
The patriarch of the Basak tribe, one of the five major tribes of Odin, controls the population and power, how great is it? Although Hasting is more famous, in the Odin Empire, he is only an army of officers. When it comes to power, he is far inferior to Manninger! What's more, Manninger is a direct descendant of God-Emperor Odin. I heard that God-Emperor Odin is commensurate with his brother! Where is Hasting's position comparable to that of a simple general
To say that the importance of the two people's status is the same, it is already the old prime minister who said it out of his mind.
Fatty listened, and deliberately twitched his mouth: "Ah, this is really difficult, although the first emperor said that if Xia Ya killed Hastings, he would seal the duke, but now he did not kill Hastings, but he did. A great Odin whose status is equal to Hastings, is this a reward..."
Adrick listened on the sidelines, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.
This Ruhl is ruthless!
In just a few words, he won a reward for that kid from Xia Ya!
No matter what, according to the last emperor's order, an earl of Xia Ya can't escape! If you fight for one more, a duke is possible!
Everyone said that although it wasn't Hastings who killed him, Manninger's head is not bad compared to Hastings! Even if you don't seal the duke... I'm always embarrassed to leave it alone, right
This is the emperor's oath...
Although Garcia tried his best to remain calm, the hand hidden under his sleeve was already trembling faintly. He forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. He glanced at Ruhr, but saw the fat man looking at him with a "honest" face, he could only be cruel. He gritted his teeth, and then pretended to be calm: "Okay, General Ruhr, I have listened to your suggestion. I will think about this Xia Yaleiming's reward, and then make a decision."
He raised his hand weakly: "I'm a little tired. The two generals are busy with military affairs. Let's go down first. In the evening, I will summon the two of them again in the evening."
Adrick and Fatty looked at each other, and then they saluted and exited.
When the two generals left, the old prime minister still sat there and didn't move his butt. The emperor quietly waited for the two generals to go out. After the door was closed, and after a while, Garcia's face suddenly showed fury. Selai, suddenly stood up, and slapped the table fiercely!
"Snapped!!!"
Garcia was bullied in his chest, his face was ashen, his breathing was rapid, and his whole body was trembling faintly.
Seeing the emperor's furious expression, the old prime minister sighed inwardly, then stood up slowly, bowed to the emperor, and gave a solemn salute.
In his mouth, as if understatement, he slowly spit out a sentence.
"Your Majesty... Please don't forget, General Spahn, who has already died."
This seemingly calm sentence fell into Garcia's ears, and the young emperor was suddenly shocked!
Garcia's anger suddenly disappeared in an instant, he exhaled heavily, then turned his head to stare at the old prime minister, the expression on his face calmed down little by little, and finally turned into peace.
"Thank you for your suggestion." Garcia nodded.
This seemingly irrelevant sentence just now, talking about General Spahn, who has been martyred for many days, can suddenly make the emperor abruptly eliminate his anger and calm down.
The political skill of the old prime minister is really deep!
The subconscious meaning of these words: Spahn is dead, and currently in the army, the Adric family is the dominant one, and there is no one who can check and balance Adric for the time being.
Originally, the emperor reused General Spahn because he valued Spahn's loyalty to the royal family. He was not from the same family as Adrick. One was the Central Army and the other was the Imperial City Guard. The systems were different. Supporting Spahn is to bury a nail in the army to check and balance Adric in the future!
But Spahn was killed.
The old prime minister's meaning is very clear, reminding Garcia that Adric's attitude just now clearly agrees with the request to reward Xia Yaleiming! At this moment, Adric is the pillar of the army, and the family dominates. It is best for His Majesty not to forcibly reject Adric's request at this time.
The emperor looked at the prime minister and said, "Sarum Bonelli... Then this Xiaya, really rewarded him? This guy, can't you see that he is definitely not a loyal minister of the empire!"
Sarumbonelli smiled faintly: "Your Majesty, I understand."
The old prime minister pondered for a while, and said slowly: "This Xia Ya thunder is really powerful, destroying the Chixue Army, but quietly, controlling five counties in the north, and gathering tens of thousands of elite soldiers. The strength is no small matter. This man came down south to King Qin this time, but he kept his troops outside the city and refused to enter the city to see him, but he got such a redundant 'official document'! Hmph, if he left the army directly outside the city, he would enter directly. Cheng met His Majesty, and then reported the battle situation in the north face to face, and took the initiative to ask His Majesty to send a proper minister to the north to take over the place. That would be a loyal minister. If that is the case, it is not necessary for His Majesty to say that the minister will also think that such a person should be rewarded heavily! But this son Acting like this, you can see that his heart… is not pure!!!”
This "impure" evaluation shows the skill of the old prime minister!
In the final analysis, after all, Xi Ya still has no intention of "disobeying" or "rebeling". In general, most of them still have the meaning of wanting to consolidate their strength and support themselves.
Moreover, Lao Zai's guess about Xia Ya has almost seven or eight points.
To be honest, Xia Ya doesn't really want to be a warlord.
If the emperor of the empire at this moment is still Emperor Cantos, the Great Lancer was very appreciative and kind to Xia Ya, and Xia Ya might have left the army outside the city and returned to the city alone as soon as he arrived in the imperial capital. ! After all, Char is not the kind of ambitious person who wants to be a warlord.
But the problem is... the current emperor is Garcia! !
If nothing else, Xia Ya is very clear that this young emperor has a big hatred with himself!
Back then, the death of the emperor's "favorite", the rabbit Bonfret, had a lot to do with him! For this reason, the emperor once gave himself small shoes when he was the crown prince.
Now that people have become emperors, they have all the righteousness and righteousness. If they say that they will let go of their past suspicions... Hehe, Xiaya is not at ease!
And take a step back.
What a proud person Charya is! great boy! Standing up and in troubled times, the capital, territory, soldiers and horses in his hands were all made by him, and he fought for it! !
If the emperor is Emperor Cantos, Xiaya may still be convinced by the old emperor, and he will obey.
But this Emperor Garcia...
Oh shit! But it's just a rabbit who likes male pets! It's just a sly guy! Mr. Xia Ya is a dignified man with a heroic spirit. If you want him to bow his head and submit to this disgusting thing, let alone no doors, no windows!
Therefore, the meaning of the official document is very clear!
Although the wording is quite polite, but to put it bluntly, it means the same thing: I am in the north now, and the Chixue Army has been destroyed by me, and I have a bunch of men and a lot of land! There is no intention of letting you, the little emperor, send someone to take over. You little emperor, figure it out for yourself!
It may be a little too long to say that it is coercion, but the meaning of the faint threat is clearly on the paper!
※※※
"Ruhl."
After walking out of the council hall, not too far away, Adric grabbed the fat man with one hand, his face gloomy: "You shouldn't be in the front!"
Fatty smiled, his face flat: "I won't say those words, you also have to fight for that kid."
Adrick smiled lightly, with a hint of complexity in his eyes: "Your Majesty suspects me, it's a doomed thing, it doesn't matter if I say it or not. It's you who made such a head... but you lost yourself in it, we are here What is your majesty's measure, hehe..."
The fat man raised his brows: "Even if I don't say it, will His Majesty trust and reuse me? Once this civil war is over, I will either retire and go home to be a rich man, or I will go to the military to be a civilian pensioner. In this life, only I'm afraid I won't have the chance to lead the troops."
"Two people are better than one person. Your Majesty doubts me. After all, my current position and the power in my hands, Your Majesty will not easily touch me, but you..." Adric frowned.
The fat man looked at Adrick for a long time, and suddenly sighed softly: "Scarface... I have something to tell you... Listen to my advice. After this civil war is over, you will immediately write to resign. , you will leave the post of Minister of Military Affairs, and let the two of us go home together as a rich man, fishing and hunting in our free time, and let’s spend our days happily.”
Adrick listened, just smiled slightly, but his eyes were very firm. He looked at the fat man, and said lightly: "I understand... Ruhl, are you worried that I will not end well?"
Ruhl's face suddenly changed!
Adrick's eyes were gentle, and he raised his hand and patted the fat man. Although his tone was calm, the firmness in it was unshakable!
"Faith goes! I... can't go back!"
