Chapter 240: Planning

After leaving the Cathedral of Light, Angela, with Amy's support, slowly boarded the luxurious carriage.

After sitting firmly in the carriage, Angela couldn't help but exhale, although the voice was soft, but Amy on the side could still hear it clearly.

"Auntie, are your injuries really serious this time?" asked Amy with a worried look on her face.

Angela's head was already covered with sweat, and she said in a deep voice, "It's much more serious than you think!"

Amy couldn't help but be stunned, and glanced out the car window, but she didn't rush to ask.

Angela waved her hand and said, "It's okay, there is already a soundproof magic circle on this carriage, you can rest assured." ”

Amy then asked, "Auntie, why did you give up those three provinces? Now that our Vail family is the best time to develop, isn't this the opportunity to catch up? The Brant family has been dominant for so many years, even if we don't think about ourselves and the future of the empire, it is not a bad thing for us to choose to fight against the Brant family. ”

Angela smiled bitterly: "Amy, although you have been gifted and smart since you were a child, you have too little experience and you can't see many things thoroughly. ”

"Let me ask you, what do you think of the three major provinces of Changyuan, Valley, and Hechuan?"

Hearing this, Amy thought for a moment and said, "These three major provinces are located in the middle of the empire, and they have always been good places with rich products and fertile soil, and they can almost be said to be half of the granary of the empire. Moreover, the trade development of these three provinces is excellent, and the living standard of the common people is rare in the empire, no matter how you look at it, it is also an excellent fiefdom. ”

"Finished?" asked Angela, "and nothing more to add?"

Amy frowned slightly, but finally nodded, as if she couldn't think of anything more to add.

Angela shook her head: "You're still too young and naΓ―ve. Then let me ask you again, what is the location of Hechuan Province?"

Amy thought for a moment: "Hechuan is surrounded by mountains to the west and north, wilderness plains to the east, and Qingteng River to the south. Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the environment is excellent. The other three provinces adjacent to Hechuan are Changyuan, Gudi, Maolin ......"

Speaking of this, a look of shock obviously flashed in Amy's eyes: "Maolin, next to Maolin Province is the Demon Beast Mountain......

Amy couldn't help but look at Angela, but saw Angela nodding at her: "You guessed right, the reason why they are willing to hand over the three major provinces to us is that they want us to act as the shield of the empire and stand at the front. ”

"The reason why the old fox didn't give us the province of Maolin is because the purpose of doing so is too obvious. I've known him for so many years, and I know a little bit about his style. This time, it seems that our Vail family has obtained a large number of fiefs and taken a big advantage, but it is actually a hot bread. ”

"Even if there will not be much movement in the gates of hell for a few years, no one can guarantee that there will be no problems in our hands. ”

Amy looked at Angela with a shocked expression: "The three major provinces are very important, do they really dare to do something there?"

Angela sneered: "In order to completely get rid of their opponents, some people's minds are much more sinister than they imagined!"

Amy was still a little incredulous. The annual grain output of the three major provinces is almost more than half of the total output of the empire, which is almost equivalent to half the life of the Ganeman Empire!

For the sake of personal interests, excluding dissidents, he actually wanted to do things on the granary of the empire, this kind of viciousness and cruelty, made Amy feel a chill.

"Is all this the planning of the Brant family?" Amy still couldn't accept this reality.

Angela's eyes were cold: "Over the years, they have been silently forbearing, waiting for the old king to die, and then supporting a puppet king to ascend to the throne, so as to control the entire Garneman Empire." In fact, the old king was already aware of this when he was alive. ”

Amy's lips twitched slightly, and she couldn't say a word. She never imagined that the empire would secretly carry out such a terrible conspiracy all these years.

"It's just that the old king is also very helpless, after all, over the years, the power of the Brant family has gradually penetrated into every corner of the empire, whether it is the royal court, the legion or the magician association, there are members of the Brant family. They had already taken over almost every lifeblood of the empire, so even if the old king was uncomfortable, he couldn't eradicate these members of the Brant family one by one. After all, they also have a pillar of the empire behind them - the Archbishop of the Holy Light. ”

Listening to Angela's bland description of these things, Amy's heart was like a rough sea, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"What we have to do now is to leave the imperial capital as soon as possible and go to our own fiefdom. Although this still can't completely get rid of the surveillance and control of some people, at least on your own territory, you have to be a little more free in what you do and what you say. ”

After listening to Angela's narration, Amy couldn't help but be a little puzzled: "Is it so urgent? But our family has been developing in the imperial capital for so many years, and basically all the properties are here, it should be difficult to completely get out in a short period of time." ”

Angela said: "You don't have to leave the imperial capital all at once, let's go to the fiefdom to check it out first, take some people away first, and then gradually leave the imperial capital." If they all leave at once, they will definitely be suspicious!"

Amy nodded, believing that this was a feasible solution.

She asked again, "Auntie, which is the province you asked to designate?"

Angela looked out the carriage window and said, "Go to the river." ”

"Chongjiang?" Amy's face was surprised, "Isn't it too remote, and it's still close to the northwest." The soil is relatively barren there, will the family members complain?"

"Complaining, everything they have gotten over the years has been earned by me every time I have worked hard, and if I let them go there to manage Chongjiang Province, do they still blame me?" Angela said with some displeasure.

"But there's still a Riptide there, after all, and in this way, Viscount Roosevelt is clearly on the side of the Brants. Amy voiced her inner concern.

Angela snorted coldly: "He, that waste, I will drive out of Chongjiang as soon as possible." ”

At this moment, the driver suddenly knocked on the door frame of the car.

Angela frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

The coachman's voice was a little hoarse, and he said, "Patriarch, I just received the news that the things you asked to do have been done. ”

Angela nodded, "yes, got it." ”

On this day, there was an extra miserable corpse in an alley in the imperial capital, which was known to many commoners and nobles in the imperial capital, and it was Sophie, the "ear of the wind".

This person not only hyped up the events at the banquet, but also deliberately spread rumors about the "dirty" things in front of Elena.

Back then, Elena had a very good relationship with Angela, which was something that many people in the imperial capital knew.

Now that Elena has been dead for many years, there are still people who insult her and spread rumors, and Angela naturally can't tolerate it.
