Chapter 138: Begin the layout
"Teacher, do you think he will take any action? His father gave him a warning, he should be honest, right? Crow let out a long sigh of relief. No matter how strong she was just now, the psychological pressure when facing Aresta was not a lot at all. This man had been pressing on her and everyone in the entire country of Gus for a long time.
The fear of this man almost became an instinctive reaction to everyone in the country except Crowley.
"Why not? If the threat of the lord is really useful, do you think the lord still needs to speak out? If the lord of the country can make him dare not move with a word, then is he still Aresta? Tang Dou asked rhetorically.
Crowe was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "Yes, he's Aresta!" ”
Aresta in the country of Gus, has become more than just a name, a person. It's a kind of symbol.
"Teacher, do you think what Aresta said is true? He was resurrected because of an ancient relic? After a moment of silence, Crow had a new question.
"You believe it?" Tang Dou squinted at the girl.
Crow shook his head: "I don't believe it. Aresta has always been a man who takes everything to the end, and if he hadn't reappeared, I'd have believed he was killed by some mysterious person. I even wondered if he would have been killed by you, teacher. But now that he is standing alive in front of us, then I don't believe what he says at all. A person like him, if he had any ancient relics in his hand that could resurrect him, he would definitely make a lot of preparations for this. How could it be, as he said, an accident? And it was thrown deep into the desert, and it took a long time to recover the memory? ”
Crowe said that Aresta's words could not be believed even by a single punctuation mark.
Peng Yu smiled dumbly: "The analysis is good." But you really think of me, if only I could kill this guy! ”
"Teacher, you're no match for Aresta either?" Crowe immediately said with some concern.
"Combat power can't be calculated only by level, especially against a guy like Aresta!" Tang Dou shook his head, "If he doesn't have more hidden strength, if he can go head-to-head with me one-on-one, I'm eighty percent sure of killing him!" ”
Speaking of this, he scoffed: "But, do you think he will?" ”
Crowe shook his head: "He's always been a guy who hides all his secrets!" ”
"Then let's see if he hides more secrets, or if I hide more secrets!" Tang Dou smiled meaningfully, "This confrontation will be quite interesting!" ”
Aresta's sudden driver's license shrouded the country of Gus in a haze. After he left the government affairs hall, he lived in the place arranged for him by Tang Dou, which was actually his original residence, and also arranged some slaves to serve.
Three days passed, and Aresta didn't make any moves, as if he was really threatened by Crowley and Tang Dou, and he didn't have any family members.
Instead, people from several families came to Tang Dou to inquire about the situation.
Ryan and Hallie were the first to find Tang Dou. They were the subordinates who were still loyal to Crowley when Aresta was in his prime, and what they are most satisfied with about Tang Dou now is that although Tang Dou manages all kinds of government affairs in the entire Gusi country, he does not have the slightest desire for power, but works hard to cultivate Crow and make her a qualified queen.
As Crowley's most loyal followers, Ryan and Hallie both know that Crowley has no intention of doing politics, so if Crowley can carry the banner, they are willing to follow.
It was precisely for this reason that when Tang Dou and Aresta were in front of them at the same time, they naturally chose to stand on Tang Dou's side.
"Nicholas, what do you do?" Harley finds Tang Dou and gets straight to the point.
"Countermeasures?" Tang Dou rubbed his chin, "How about organizing a group of people now to kill Aresta?" ”
Harley's eyes rolled over the Heavenly Spirit Cover: "Nicholas, I'm serious!" You know it's useless to simply kill Aresta! Those families are going to make trouble! ”
"Kill all the troublemakers!" Tang Dou waved his hand domineeringly.
Harley was suddenly physically and mentally exhausted: "Then there will be another civil strife, do you think we can really rely on rune puppets to hold on to all the troubles?" The Five Nations will definitely take advantage of our internal mess again! ”
Tang Dou spread his hands: "So what's the point of you asking me?" There was nothing we could have done. The only thing you can do is to develop your own strength! “
He motioned for Hallie and Ryan to sit down, and finally took a serious look: "You see, Aresta doesn't need to do anything at all now, and there will be countless families who will jump out and want to take advantage of his name." In fact, you know better than I do. At present, there are still twelve families that can be regarded as important in the country of Gusi. But after you have been absolutely loyal to the lord of the kingdom, which of you are still loyal to the lord of the kingdom? ”
"The Dolby family, the Stanley family, and the Edgar family were on the side of the lord of the country during the first civil strife, but that was because they were the lowest in the big family, and they were on the edge of the royal city, they could only choose the side of the lord at that time, otherwise even if the lord's faction lost, they could be killed before they lost! But now it's different. The fall of the Mutu family and the Lazaro family, and the decline of the Adley family, this gave these three families a chance to develop! ”
"They now have the strength to make new choices. In such a situation, do you think they will still be honest? If nothing else, as far as I know, Gary, the patriarch of the Stanley family, was picked up by Aresta, right? As for the other seven, he's been holding his breath and waiting to finish us off. At this time, they will not let go of the opportunity! ”
Tang Dou said this, and nodded lightly on the table: "So in fact, no matter what we do, this battle is inevitable, just look at the scale of this battle!" ”
Harley let out a long sigh, "I know that, too, but hearing you say it makes me really cut off all thoughts." You've done miracles a few times, and I thought you could do it again. ”
Tang Dou smiled dumbly: "Creating a miracle is actually just a gamble. If you win, it's a miracle, and if you lose, you don't leave anything. Therefore, creating miracles is just a desperate means that cannot be helped. In fact, it's not impossible for you to solve this problem completely, but that's not what you want to choose! ”
"What is it?" Hallie looked at Tang Dou.
"It's all moved to my territory, which is a secret place, and it's a nice environment, and there's plenty of room to grow. If they want to fight, they will wait for them to fight, and when they come, we will run, and then leave them enough to let them fight their own interests, and we will hide and develop, and when we have the strength, we will kill them back, and then kill all these anti-bone boys! Tang Dou waved his hand, then smiled, "It's a pity, you won't agree, will you?" ”
Hallie opened her mouth, and finally smiled wryly: "Nicholas, you are the most mysterious and impenetrable person I have ever met." I can feel that when you said these words, there was no desire or greed in your heart, but it made me feel that if I really nodded, it would be a bad thing for you. What kind of person are you? What is it that gives you so much confidence? ”
Tang Dou laughed: "I can only answer this question when you decide to live in my territory!" ”
Harley didn't ask anything more. She has gone through a long period of time from her suspicion of Tang Dou at the beginning to her trust now. Through her own observations, she determined that Tang Douzhen had no interest in the rights of the Gusi Kingdom.
Although this guy took advantage of the foreign war of the Gusi Kingdom to make a ruthless fortune, it was originally what he deserved. He didn't treat Gusi badly either, so it's not a problem.
More importantly, he was truly dedicated to his training and teaching.
Such a capable and power-free guy is definitely the most suitable ally.
"So what exactly do we do now? You give me a word, I don't understand what you're talking about! Ryan was confused when he heard this.
Tang Dou and Harley shook their heads and smiled at the same time, this guy in front of him was really the least worried one, the only thing he needed to think about was to follow orders, and the only question he asked was "Kill whom?" How many kills? ”
The difference between a fierce general and a wise general.
Tang Dou took out two scrolls and put them in front of Harley and Ryan: "These two things are for you." Oh, Lord Ryan, I don't think your family will be able to get this thing, but you have to get used to using this thing, and leave the production side to House Master Harry. As long as we can stabilize the situation for a month, then they can't afford to spend it! ”
Harley unfolded the scroll and glanced at it, and there was a gleam in her eyes: "Sure enough, no matter how much I look up to you, I will still be shocked by you!" ”
"We're not enemies, are we?" Tang Dou spread his hands.
Harley had a worried expression, "I'm so lucky! ”
After the two family patriarchs left, Tang Dou ushered in a second group of visitors.
This time there was only one person.
The new patriarch of the Addley family, Fred.
The new Adley family ranks last among the major families, the once largest family has completely declined, their original lineage has died, and the rest are all side bloodlines. Fred, the patriarch of the family, not only does not have enough prestige internally, but no one looks up to him externally.
Even in Arsa, betrayers are not welcome. Although betrayal is actually a norm in this wild place, betrayers can also be regarded as the norm when they are looked down upon and wary of.
Fred's position as the head of the family was sat under Tang Dou's strong interference, to put it simply, without Tang Dou, Fred would be nothing. So he will become Tang Dou's most loyal lackey, but it's just him.
He still hasn't integrated the New Adley family.
What's the use of him alone?
"Fred family, you've disappointed me!"
Tang Dou's words made Fred kneel.
This puppet-like patriarch of the family prostrate down in fear: "Lord Nicholas, your subordinates are incompetent, please teach your subordinates!" ”
Just listening to this title and self-title, you can know what kind of state Fred is in front of Tang Dou.
"You don't have to rush!" Tang Dou smiled and helped the other party up, "Aresta is back, you can completely take refuge in him, the former Adley family is Aresta's most loyal followers!" ”
Sweat rolled down Fred's head. Tang Dou's words were to remind him not to be half-hearted, not to think about being an anti-bone boy, and at the same time to remind him that as a new family that had killed his descendants and stood up again, the new Adellie family could actually be regarded as Aresta's enemy.
Now they are still considered meritorious heroes on Tang Dou's side, but if they betray, then not only will Aresta's side not be able to please them, but Tang Dou's side will even hunt them down.
Fred remembered Tang Dou's amazing sniping in front of the gate of the Adley family's castle again, and remembered that Tang Dou turned his hands into clouds and destroyed the Sand Tooth Country with his hands in the rain. All the thoughts in his heart that he shouldn't have were all extinguished in an instant.
The reason why Tang Dou made Fred the patriarch of the new Adley family in the first place was not because of how strong this person was, nor how suitable he was, but because Tang Dou found that this person was a really smart person.
A guy who has ambition and desire, but can see reality clearly and will not be blinded by desire and become stupid.
This guy is not a good person, and he is not a person who can talk about loyalty. But given the right circumstances, he may be more loyal than the most loyal.
For Tang Dou, there are only two kinds of people in this world who are the most loyal.
One is really smart people like Fred and Goulden. As long as they don't fall, they will follow forever.
The other is simple people like Suomi and Ryan, who don't pretend to be betrayed in their brain circuits.
"My lord, my subordinates' loyalty to my lord can be seen in Mingyue!" Fred's tears came as soon as he said it, as if Tang Dou didn't believe him, he was ready to take out his heart.
Tang Dou smiled faintly: "Come on, Fred family master, we are all smart people, so let's change the way of dialogue with smart people." That's how tired you guess I'm guessing! ”
He pointed to the position beside him and motioned for the other party to sit down, and after the other party sat down, he spoke again: "Lord Fred, do you want the Adley family under your rule to become the first family of the Gus country again?" ”
Fred's eyes shone with greed: "Please also give me advice!" ”
Tang Dou pushed a bottle in front of the other party: "Think about it." You're so smart, how can you not understand? I know all you need is a little bit of help, and this is help! As he spoke, he pulled out a new small box and pushed it over.
Fred opened the first bottle, and did not smell anything, the bottle was a colorless and odorless liquid, and there was nothing peculiar on the surface, just like a bottle of water, but Fred instinctively felt the danger in the bottle.
It felt like he was holding a monster that could go berserk at any moment.
"This thing, a drop, is going to be finished with platinum, you understand?" Tang Dou's smile was like a demon.
