Robbie looked at him with a blank look and said, "Businessmen and politicians are both profit-seeking creatures, but compared to businessmen, politicians are much more terrifying. ”

Because, if you are in the service of a group of merchants, even the most greedy merchants, you can get something in return from them as long as you get enough benefits for him.

Although in the process, your efforts may not be proportional to the rewards you receive, and even your efforts may be several times what you gain.

But one thing is for sure, you won't work for them in vain.

However, if you work for a group of politicians, you don't have to get married.

"As aristocrats, they have always been politicians who work only for the kingdom and themselves, but they never know what it means to give in return. ”

They are like hungry wolfdogs, and when they smell even the slightest hint of meat, they will pounce on them mercilessly, bite and chew until they have licked all the marrow.

For those who will not be useful in the future, they will be completely used and then discarded.

For those who will be useful in the future, they will be used slowly and then discarded.

As long as it's good for them, even if it's a loss of face, they have to do it.

As long as it is not good for them, even if it is a matter of course, they will never get involved.

This is what that group of politicians, that group of nobles is.

Ironically, however, it is precisely because of this that they are such an important presence in any country. ”

He moved one of the pawns on the chessboard and said, "Warriors and generals, their purpose is to destroy their enemies with all their might. ”

If you win, you will naturally be famous through the ages, and the scenery will be infinite.

However, if it fails, a huge country may be destroyed.

Despite the high returns, the politicians would never do something as risky as this.

Because then you may not make any money.

If it were them, they would definitely choose the safest and most profitable way for the country and themselves to end the war.

"Standing at that height, you should know better than anyone else that in the face of an enemy of that magnitude, what you have to do is not to defeat the enemy, but to strive for the interests of the country as much as possible. ”

He shaved off the opponent's soldiers step by step, then took a sip of his wine glass and said: "Besides, although Thatch expects you to open up a vast territory for him, and his people also hope that you can be ashamed of them, I also said that I will wait to see the day when you defeat Chu Qing, but to put it bluntly." ”

What do you think you are?

Unyielding warrior, god of war, marshal of the Empire, or some other title?

But what others think, at least in my eyes.

"You're just a simple-minded piece of trash. ”

As he spoke, he tugged his shoulders, completely unconcerned about the stiff expression on the face of Esonia, who was sitting across from him, and continued.

"The two of us have fought a few times before, and as I said before, I have nothing to say about your art of war. ”

But that doesn't mean you're a worthy opponent to look at in the eye.

War is your forte, but at the same time it becomes your shackles.

"The so-called war is not just a group of people fighting each other with weapons, but a multifaceted battle of economy, military, politics, and even culture. ”

In some battles, even defeat can be counted as victory.

However, there are some battles that can be won even without fighting.

"From the very beginning of the war, you easily ignore these important elements of war, and the result is predictable that the final defeat will be expected. ”

"And most importantly, you're a lot more arrogant than I thought. ”

"Also, you said that China would not be able to negotiate with you, but is that really the case?" Robbie's words were full of sarcasm, and he criticized more and more mercilessly:

"Think about it, stupid, the other party obviously has a weapon that is powerful enough to rival the forbidden spell and can decide the outcome of the war from the beginning, but it was not used until the decisive battle, don't you understand why?"

The other party has been waiting for you to give in.

"It's not that the other party is unwilling to cooperate with the Koncadas Empire, it's just that you are obsessed and stubbornly cut off this few life-saving straws. ”

So, no matter how you look at it, you're a complete idiot.

It's disgusting to be stubborn, obsessed, and ruin the country that trusts you, and still act like a victim here.

"That's enough...... Esonia whispered, her head down.

"What do you say, 'victim'?"

"I've said enough!" Asonia yelled no longer and couldn't take it anymore, "yes, yes, I'm the arrogant fool! It's all my fault, and I ended up bringing down the Koncadas Empire!

After saying that, he picked up the wine jar and poured it into his mouth, not caring if the poured wine wet his clothes.

"Anyway, it's all over," he said as he threw the jar aside and gave up on himself, "Anyway, it's all over, it's all over!"

"Where is the end, where is it now?" said Robbie, with a thoughtful expression, "It's better that it's just the beginning." ”

"It's just beginning, how is that possible. ”

Esonia lowered her head and looked at the chessboard in front of her.

I don't know when, the chess pieces on the chessboard belong to themselves, and all that is left is a pawn, a soldier, two elephants, a horse and a lone pawn at the front.

"And I'm childless now. ”

"Who said that?"

Robbie spread his hands towards the chessboard and said, "Isn't it full of chess pieces?

Compared with the miserable Esonia on the other side, he has always been careful about the 'battle situation', except for the loss of one shot and two horses, all the other sons are unharmed.

"What do you mean......"

Asonia was stunned for a moment, and her eyes subconsciously rested on the chessboard in front of her.

It was only a moment before he saw him flip one of Robbie's cars over with his hands, and then mercilessly ate the cannon he had placed next to him.

Is that so?" he whispered.

"Who knows?" said Robbie, moving his other rook and horse, restraining the car that had been 'rebelled' by Esonia.

"Anyway, who else do you have in your hands?"

"Someone who can use it...... The Imperial Spear should be regarded as one, and there is no one else, and there are still tens of thousands of scattered cavalry left in the army. ”

"Armu, that guy, you've really picked up a big bargain, but lately, I've heard that the Imperial Shield seems to have fled to the Sark Empire, and that guy has been at odds with you all along. ”

But what about now?

As he spoke, he picked up one of the taxis that had been eaten and put them back on the board.

So next......

Esonia turned Robbie's three pawns and an elephant quite boldly, and the chess game that was originally on one side instantly became evenly matched.

"There are two hits. Robbie grinned, and then, relying on the remaining pieces in his hand, he launched a series of attacks and surprise attacks on Essonia.

And Esonia, who also put all her energy into it, although she is still inferior in the quality of the chess pieces, but with her sharp tactics, she does not take advantage of it at all.

For a while, the two people on the 'battlefield' used this endgame to fight inseparably.

Although sometimes,

No, it should be said that most of the time the two of them are openly ignoring the rules. Worst!

However, when Esonia used her general to eat the opponent's car that broke into the enemy's line, he suddenly realized that he had fallen into the trap of the opponent.

"General. Robbie said with his hands on his knees, smiling.

"Yes, General. Esonia bit her thumb and said with some reluctance.

On the unobstructed straight line of the chessboard, the opponent's shogi stood quietly as if they had been waiting for a long time.

Checkmate.

Damn it......

Esonia frowned, but her head felt like it was shackled, and she couldn't think of any ideas.

Isn't the situation the same now as it was then......

At this time, he once again completely fell into a hopeless dead end.

"There's no way around it?"

"Hmm," said Esonia very neatly this time.

"But, I don't know you mean to give up. ”

"Isn't that nonsense?" he pulled a rope from his jacket pocket and tied his long loose hair into a bunch, which, though still a little dripping of water on his body, did not look sloppy at all, but gave his handsome face an aggressive smile.

"It's as if I've given up sometimes. ”

"Oh~" Robbie, who came to the nature, asked jokingly, "Didn't you find a way to crack it?"

"Yes. ”

"But you don't want to give up?"

"Yes!"

"You guy," Robbie shook his head with a smile, and drank all the rest of the drink from his glass, "but you're greedy." ”

I can't find a solution to the problem, but I don't want to admit defeat, this kind of thinking is enough to fool around.

"That's natural, after all, I'm a 'politician' now. ”

"Are you going to learn and sell now?, you kid-" As if looking at the disciple who couldn't make it, Kuo Ai shook his head helplessly, "Then what are you going to do?"

“……”

"Don't answer, or don't you know?"

“…… What do you think I'm here for?

"Give it back to me, give me back the wine you drank you bunny!"

Holding back his anger, Robbie held his forehead with one hand and pulled a jar of unopened wine to his side with the other.

"Since you can't win the war, it's good not to fight, anyway, the war doesn't necessarily have to be won to be won. ”

As he spoke, he raised the wine jar in his hand and shook it gently, "I said, I bought this wine in China." ”

The one on the top of the paper, called the ingredient list, says that this sake is made entirely from grain, and there are no messy additives, although I don't know what the so-called additives are, but when you drink it, it doesn't look like a lie.

But-

"Something like wine is obviously quite expensive to make, and now there is so little food. ”

But—

"It's surprisingly cheap there. ”

"What?!"

"Did you find out?"

It's a little bit of a trick, you're pretty good.

Robbie muttered to himself as he removed the stopper from the jar, and no longer paying attention to etiquette or anything, he poured the wine from the jar into his mouth.

"And," he said, wiping his mouth with his sleeve, and with a mouth full of wine, "as far as I know, even so, they are still buying food in a steady stream. ”

A lot of the grain that was supposed to be shipped to other countries was bought in advance by them at a high price.

It can be said that there is not much food still flowing in the market.

It is estimated that the Assas Empire will soon find out about this.

"Maybe they've found out now. ”

"But is it possible that this is a trap they used to cover something?"

"Who knows? Besides, what's my business. As he spoke, Robbie shrugged his shoulders, then took out a continental general gold coin from his pocket and placed it in the middle of the Chu River Han Realm on the chessboard.

"What I'm concerned about now is, how long is this thing going to last?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Robbie shook the jar of wine that still had a lot of liquor in his hand, and smashed it towards the chessboard in front of him.

With a bang, in the sound of the wine jar shattering, the chessboard fell into the stream on the side, and the ivory chess pieces on it all fell into the water without exception.

"If you can't win and don't want to lose, then it's good to completely overturn this chess game. ”

In that case, the worst outcome is a draw.

“……”

Esonia pinched her chin and didn't speak.

Suddenly, he slammed up from the ground, ignoring the yukata that had broken away from his upper body and was held together only by a rope tied around his waist and his solid body exposed to the air, and walked in the direction of the courtyard.

"What are you doing?"

"Gone. ”

"Aren't you going to clean up for me?"

"Do that yourself," he touched the ring on his thumb, and with a brush, his loose yukata changed into a heroic armor.

"After all, I'm not like some people, I'm very busy. ”

"You kid. Looking at where Esonia, who had disappeared, was standing, Robbie lowered his head and laughed.

Is it over?

He threw the fragments of the jar in his hand to the ground, then took off his shoes, braided his trouser legs, and walked into the stream, picking up the chessboard pieces inside one by one.

"Now it seems that it is the right choice to let my brother come here. ”

At this moment, a little girl's crisp voice suddenly came out from behind him.

He turned around and saw a little girl in a pink dress standing where Essonia had just disappeared, looking at him and saying.

"Are you...... Aiya, Esonia's sister?"

"No, I'm his sister Aiman. ”

But it's actually the same person, right?

Robbie, who didn't say what was in his heart, relaxed his hands on his waist and said, "So what did you mean by what you just said?"

"It's literal," said Aiman, "and since my brother lost, Iya was worried about him, so I wondered if I could find a way to cheer him up." ”

"So I'm being taken advantage of?"

"That's it," she pinched her waist with her hands very proudly, and her cute little face seemed to be full of words: Come and praise me.

"Otherwise, why do you think I'd let my brother take such a big risk to come here?"

"Risk?"

"Yes, although the other party did not directly send someone to assassinate him, he still offered a large reward to buy my brother's life. ”

"But on your side, many organizations should know about the relationship between Esonia and you, so few people should dare to do it, right? ”

"Yes, so the other party directly offered a high bounty that scared people to death, and even I was a little moved when I saw that number. ”

So there are already a lot of organizations that have torn their faces with us, and there have been a lot of betrayers, but, well, forget it, anyway, I guess there will be this kind of thing in the future.

Thinking about this kind of thing now is just asking for trouble, let's take it one step at a time.

Seeing the girl in front of him, who was definitely no more than ten years old, say such an old word, a strong sense of disobedience hit Robbie's heart.

"Then what are you doing here today? Worried about your brother?"

"No, I'm just here to play," she said unexpectedly, "Protecting my brother is just a matter of leaving it to the people below, I'm just here to take a look on the way to play." ”

"Sure enough, it's still a child. ”

"What did you say!"

He didn't see the angry expression on Aiman's face, he still smiled kindly, and said kindly: "Originally, I thought that you shouldn't be some terrible precocious freak, but you can come out to play, which means that you are really still a child, very good, very good." ”

"Who do you say is a child, and who is it again, weird, fetus?" Aiman forced a smile from his anger, "Let me tell you one thing, actually, I recently knocked out a large sum of money from a fool, even if you buy this mountain, burn down your dilapidated house, and then hire a whole bunch of professional killers to hunt you down." ”

"After all, I, now, in, have, yes, money. ”

"Oh, you're kidding, it's not cute for a kid to say that hahaha...... Wait a minute, why are you so serious, I said you're not really going to do this, you're serious! No, you listen to me, there's nothing wrong with being a child, you see, that, listen to me......"

The next day, for all sorts, all sorts, and all sorts of reasons, Robbie began his journey of escape after retirement......
