Chapter 50: Darkness Under the Light

"My lord, what exactly do you want to do?"

After Jin left, the old butler looked at Lin Qiu puzzled, he who had been following the lord knew that not to mention the army of five thousand people, they didn't even have a single soldier here. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

He couldn't figure out what the purpose of the lord was to attract the enemy like this.

Leaning back slightly, Lin Qiu put all the weight of his body on the sofa, and after relaxing his body, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Old butler, I really don't have the energy to explain too much to you, as long as this kind of thing is a few days later, you will know the reason." ”

What a hassle, what's next?

With a long sigh in his heart, Lin Qiu continued his next calculations.

First of all, the layout of the battle situation has basically been completed, as long as the timing of Edri's dispatch is right, the battle side will not be a problem.

There are not many resources to snatch from the goblin's side now, if this time is not successful, I'm afraid I will have to give up this side of the world, Lin Qiu doesn't have time to grab another town.

After all, every day is quite precious to him now, and if he fails this time, if he wants to recapture a town, he will never be able to do it without ten days and half a month.

Then there is the information of Edri himself.

From the current situation, Edri seems to be a fairly upright fellow, quite kind to the people, and the security in the territory is also very good, and will even help the civilians when they are in trouble.

On the other hand, on Lin Qiu's side, in terms of setting, their parents had oppressed the nearby civilians, and the impression of the civilians on them was definitely not much better.

In other words, has there been an absolute disadvantage in terms of popularity?

No, maybe you can't think of it that way......

Lin Qiu began to tap on the table again, he needed to make a clear judgment about his future direction in this world.

Since the popularity of people is bad enough, it is better to use this bad popularity in reverse, not to make the common people respect themselves, but to make them fear themselves first.

Does it seem like ......a demon king?

But after all, there will be rebellion under power, which is a bit troublesome, and what you need is a long-term peace......

Looks like it's time to put on another good show.

"Alas, I accidentally thought too far again. Suddenly, Lin Qiu raised his hand and patted it on his forehead, unconsciously, he had already thought about what would happen after conquering this world, for him now, this was really too early.

The old butler looked at his lord with an inexplicable expression, obviously not understanding what the latter was suddenly saying, and at this time, a soft and small voice sounded: "That...... My lord, can I excuse me?"

I don't know when, Shirleya who was standing next to the sofa was looking at Lin Qiu cautiously, she was holding those intelligence materials in her hands, and the whole person was cowering, looking a little like a recognized hamster.

"Miss Shirleya, please be seated. Because of Lin Qiu's instructions before, the old housekeeper showed enough politeness when facing Shirya, which made the little maid seem a little inappropriate, and hurriedly returned the salute to the old butler.

Lin Qiu was a little amused when she saw this, although this girl has some ability, but her courage is a little too small.

But then, Lin Qiu thought of another possibility, such a timid Xueliya, if she was threatened, would she expose the secret on her side?

It seems that if you have the chance, you still have to try this girl first, and you still can't let her have access to too important secrets until then.

Lin Qiu, who had quietly made up his mind in his heart, was full of smiles when he looked at Shirya: "Little guy, what's wrong?"

It's also strange to say, since he became the Black Dragon God, Lin Qiu has become more and more comfortable calling others little guy, little girl, stinky boy and the like, but in fact, he is just a twenty-year-old young man.

Now it seems that not only in terms of ability, but also in terms of personality and some cognitions, he has been more or less influenced by the Black Dragon God.

"My lord, I've noticed a problem. Shirleya put an intelligence document in front of Lin Qiu and whispered: "The information shows that in Edri's territory, not only Edri himself, but even other powerful people are also quite clear. ”

Shiria said, and took out another piece of information: "But my lord, look here, the nobles on Edri's side have recently carried out another relatively large charity activity, and the poor and beggars in the territory have received good help, which seems to be a good thing, but the problem is also here......"

Lin Qiu frowned slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, if it is really so clear, how did they get the money for this kind of activity?"

As soon as Lin Qiu's words came out, Xue Liya looked at him with a kind of "I knew that the adults would really know", and continued: "That's it, the previous intelligence shows that the nobles have never made a big fundraiser, which fully shows that they must have some kind of channel to increase their income." ”

Lin Qiu nodded, but the old butler on the side was a little dizzy, he didn't quite understand what the two wanted to express, and at the same time, he also understood why the lord would attach importance to the little maid of Shirya.

At least this kind of conversation, the old butler thought that he would never discuss it with the lord.

Lin Qiu's smile became a little stronger when he heard this, he had been paying attention to Shirya's expression, this little maid had a kind of confidence and confidence on her face when she said what she had just said, which meant that she did not come to her with a question, she brought some kind of answer that she was expecting.

Sure enough, the little maid quickly pulled out a stack of heavy information, and then said a little proudly: "Because I think it's strange, I investigated the information in recent years, and I found that before Lord Edri took office, there was a group of robbers in this generation who were quite rampant, but after Edri took office, they gradually disappeared."

So I followed the line and found that the gang of robbers did not really disappear, they just changed their name, changed the location, and continued their robbery, and for some reason, every time they did, the army was always unable to catch them.

However, it was very 'coincidental' that although they escaped separately each time, before they separated, they always pointed in the same direction......

After Shiriya finished speaking, she looked at Lin Qiu with a smile, and the latter also showed a satisfied smile.

"Very well done, I think I have another one more on my itinerary......"
