"Chapter 14: Private Deals"

Man should not live like an animal, but should pursue knowledge and virtue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

- Alighelli Dante (Italian poet, one of the pioneers of the European Renaissance)

The luxuriously and exquisitely decorated council chamber was the most luxurious room in the Governor's Palace, and when Bai Feng first walked into this chamber, he was also shocked by the exquisiteness of the chamber, but at this moment, there was a strong tense atmosphere that permeated this chamber.

Eggers was still standing below Bai Feng with a straight face, and Bai Feng's face had already become gloomy, and what Eggers said just now poked at Bai Feng's psychological defense, which made Bai Feng, who had always been calm, no longer calm.

"Bai Feng, in fact, you don't have to think about it so complicated, I'm just for the survival of the Aceni tribe. It was Bai Feng who had comforted Eggers and Boudicca before, but now it came out of Eggers' mouth, which was really ironic.

"General Eggers, I understand your state of mind, and I don't want to judge from my point of view whether your approach is appropriate, I just want to know what your so-called deal is, and consider whether our city of Rome can accept your deal. ”

"Since you are impatient, I will tell you the truth, remember your jokes, and I have a great relationship with Boudicca, and she seems to me to be my daughter, and I will do everything for her before I leave this world.

I don't know how long I can live in this world, maybe in the next battle I will follow in the footsteps of the previous kings and leave this world, and you and I both know that Boudicca is not a good tribal leader, and she will not even protect herself.

If it had been ten years ago, even if I had died here, I would not have been able to sit idly by and watch your Roman city control over our Aceni tribe, which is no longer the most powerful tribe to which I once belonged.

Frankly, I am willing to help you directly control the Aceni tribe and become a puppet of the city of Rome, but you in Rome must promise to ensure Boudicca's rule over the Aceni tribe forever, and to guarantee the independence of the Acenian tribe.

I don't want Boudicca to be bullied after my death, and I don't want Boudicca to lose everything she has now, even if it's a queen in name, I want her to sit on that throne forever!"

Well, Bai Feng never thought that Eggers would say so much, and it was just to pave the way for Queen Boudicca, whom he regarded as his own daughter, but such a deal would be beneficial to the city of Rome, and Bai Feng had no need to object.

"Yes, I can promise you a deal on behalf of the city of Rome, as long as our city of Rome exists, there will be no change in Boudicca's position as queen of the Aceni tribe, and the Acenian tribe will always maintain its independence!"

After agreeing to Eggers' deal without hesitation, Bai Feng did not end the separate conversation between the two, but continued to ask Eggers: "Then, General Eggers, how exactly do you help us control the Aceni tribe?"

"Our Aceni tribe has suffered a great loss in its own strength after this war with your Roman city, and General Nelson and his cavalry troops have become mercenaries of your Roman city, and we can pay a lot.

For the time being, I can allow your city of Rome to recruit warriors from our Ethini tribe to supplement your losses in this battle, and I myself will raise an army to serve you in Rome as a mercenary.

But I must leave an army of at least 20,000 men in the Estheni tribe to serve as Boudicca's direct army, so that Nelson and I can devote ourselves to the battle of Rome, and this is my last request. ”

"General Eggers, from today onwards, we will be the strongest and most reliable allies between the city of Rome and the Esini tribe!" After getting the result he wanted, Bai Feng, who was overjoyed, agreed to the plan proposed by Eggers on the spot.

"Bai Feng, our deal is not over yet. As you can see, I can deliver on all my promises to you in the next month, but how can you be sure that your own promises will be fulfilled?"

This question stopped Bai Feng, the things that Eggers promised were all things that he could do right away, but the things that Bai Feng promised were slowly implemented in the future, and even after Eggers died, Bai Feng's promise was still continuing, how could this be ensured?

Seeing Eggers looking at him with burning eyes, Bai Feng knew that this old fox must already have the answer in his heart, but how could this look of his make him feel so uneasy?

"General Eggers, you must already have an idea in your heart, so why should you embarrass me? You better tell me your thoughts quickly, as long as I can do it, I will never refuse!"

"Yes, I do have an idea that I can make sure that your promise will not change, and you can do it! My idea is simple, that is, let you marry Boudicca, so that you will not annex your wife's tribe, right?"

"Marry Boudicca?!No! This is absolutely impossible!" As soon as Bai Feng heard Eggers put forward such an idea, he jumped up on the spot and directly rejected Eggers' suggestion; seeing Eggers' face darken, he explained helplessly:

"General Eggers! It's really not that I don't want to marry Queen Boudicca, how can I not like her as a beautiful woman? It's just that I have a fiancée at home, and I can't abandon my wife, right?"

"No, this request is not my private plea to you, but part of the deal between you and me, if you don't want to, all the deals just now will be nullified, and I myself will desperately block your Roman City's control of our tribe!"

This Eggers is more stubborn than Bai Feng, and the angry Bai Feng really wants to knock out his teeth with a fist; in desperation, Bai Feng had to compromise in a low voice: "Otherwise, let's take a step back and go to Boudicca as a wife for the time being, and we won't mention this matter for the time being; after the Essini tribe is reunited, how about we think about this matter?" This is my final bottom line!"

"I can agree with your idea of reuniting the Aceni tribe before talking about this later, but you must be engaged to Boudicca now, and this is my final bottom line!"

You old fellow, if I hadn't been able to beat you, I would have beaten you to the ground a hundred times! While Bai Feng was complaining frantically in his heart, he had no choice but to agree to Eggers' plan and promised him to hold an engagement ceremony in Rome City in three days.
