- Franz Kafka (Austrian novelist)

Long Bo, who was very kind to the Bai family, was very cold when facing the three of Sophia, and even Bai Sa, who had always been free and casual, did not smile at the three of Sophia, but had an expressionless face.

Among the three of Sophia's group, Diana, who is the most astute, is much smarter than Sophia and Melinda, and after noticing the diswelcome of Bai Sa, Long Bo and others, she quickly took Sophia and Melinda to leave here.

Looking at the departing backs of Sophia and the others, Long Bo walked to Bai Feng's side and whispered to Bai Feng: "Brother Bai, it's not that we deliberately embarrassed Sophia and them, but that the grievances between our five major families in the south and the powerful people of the imperial capital are too deep. ”

"The grievances between the five major families in the south and the magnates of the imperial capital?" Bai Feng, who also sensed that something was wrong but didn't know the reason, asked Long Bo with doubts: "Brother Long, is there any old feud between us and the magnates of the imperial capital?"

"It's not just a vendetta!" Bai Sa, who was completely uninterested, said seriously: "If it weren't for the magnates of the imperial capital who squeezed the military supplies belonging to our southern border too much, why would the situation of our five major families in the southern border fall to the point where it is today?!"

"However, isn't it a matter of a year or two for the Imperial Capital to cut off the supply of military supplies to our five legions in the south? Moreover, this cannot be blamed entirely on the magnates of the Imperial Capital, after all, the crisis faced by the Empire determines that they can only tear down the east wall and make up for the west wall. ”

The reason why Bai Feng spoke out to explain to the magnates of the imperial capital was not because he had any good feelings for the magnates of the imperial capital, but because he wanted to figure out the key to it;

The dialogue between Long Bo, Bai Sa, and Bai Feng also attracted Li Jiancheng, Sun Ce, Peter and others, and they soon surrounded them; fortunately, they did not misunderstand Bai Feng's meaning, but Long Bo patiently explained to Bai Feng:

"More than 20 years ago, when the five armies of the southern frontier were formed, His Majesty the Emperor gave us 20,000 troops for each legion, and then Charlemagne sat on the throne, and he and the magnates of the imperial capital behind him cut our military budget every year, which is why we have today.

If it weren't for the fact that the foundation of our five major families in the southern border is still quite strong, and the folk customs of the people in the southern region are still quite strong, it would be good that the five major armies in the southern border can maintain an establishment of 5,000 people; ”

Hearing Long Bo's explanation, Bai Feng asked incredulously, "How could the empire cut itself off like this? If our southern region was captured by the barbarian army, wouldn't all the empire's hundreds of years of efforts be in vain?"

"If the southern region is really captured by the barbarian army, only our five southern families will be destroyed, and the empire's efforts will not be in vain, because our five southern families have consumed too much of the barbarian's strength, and the empire has the strength to reoccupy the southern region.

Never underestimate the war potential of the Empire, the invasion of the Orc Empire and the steppe tribes will not be able to shake the foundation of the Empire at all, otherwise, how could the Empire place the Iron Earl in Perpignan Province, that is the Empire's retreat to regain the southern region!"

"Hiss......" Li Jiancheng's answer made Bai Feng gasp involuntarily, Bai Feng believed that they would not lie to him, because the expression on Bai Sa's face said everything. Unexpectedly, the struggle within the empire has reached such a point!

It's just that the imperial capital's suppression of the southern border is really just like what Long Bo, Li Jiancheng and others said? Bai Feng felt that it was not necessarily the case, the situation within the empire was far more complicated than Long Bo and the others knew, and their status determined that what they knew was limited.

For example, the true identity of the iron-blooded Count Rundstead. In the eyes of Long Bo and the others, Count Rundstead was a back-up move arranged by the empire to retake the southern region, but Bai Feng knew that Count Rundstead was definitely not a person from Charlemagne and the imperial capital!

The secret relationship between the White family and the Count of Rundstedd, and the disdain of the Count of Rundstedd himself towards Charlemagne and the magnates of the imperial capital, all show that the Count of Rundstedd was placed in the province of Perpignan for another reason.

In addition, the alliance between the Eight Princes and the Bai family also proves this, if Charlemagne and the imperial capital magnates really want to destroy the five major families in the south by the hands of the barbarians, then why did Charlemagne allow his son to form an alliance with the Bai family in the south?

The alliance between the Eighth Prince and the Bai family not only added infinite possibilities for the Eighth Prince to compete for the crown prince, but also brought new assistance to the Bai family's strength.

If nothing else, there is some connection between the Long family and the Eighth Prince, but it is not as directly allied with the Eighth Emperor as the Bai family;

The secret alliance of the five major families in the south, the alliance between the Bai family and the Eight Princes, the looming connection between the Long family and the Eight Princes, the positioning of Count Rundsteadt, and the hatred of the younger generation of the five major families in the south towards Charlemagne and the magnates of the imperial capital; everything is like layers of fog, hiding the unknown truth within the empire, and showing the world only the chaos on the surface of the fog.

Bai Feng, who had countless doubts in his heart, did not tell his doubts to the public; Long Bo, Li Jiancheng and the others thought that Bai Feng was shocked by their story, so they didn't say anything more, but walked back to their original place silently.

After the dinner party, Bai Feng, who returned to the dormitory of the academy, was still full of worries, his personality determined that he didn't want to be in a fog, but the reality made his surroundings covered with layers of fog, and this feeling made him feel uncomfortable all over.

Early the next morning, Bai Feng and his roommates went straight to Sophia's dormitory building after exercising in the playground, which was the dormitory belonging to the teachers of the college, and Bai Feng, as a student, could not enter it, so he could only wait for Sophia to come out outside the dormitory building.

Sophia's identity is not only a beautiful teacher in the military department, she is also the granddaughter of Duke Kleist, in order to ease the tension between the five major families in the south and the powerful people of the imperial capital, Bai Feng must apologize to Sophia for yesterday's incident.

Long Bo, Bai Sa and others' performance towards Sophia's three daughters was a bit excessive in Bai Feng's opinion, not to mention Sophia and others, who were personally ostracized; because Diana and Melinda were in class later than Sophia, Bai Feng came to Sophia first.

The hot temper is only one side of Sophia, and the other side of her is the understanding that is rarely seen by ordinary people, and the students from the five major families in the southern realm among the imperial students always have a very serious rejection of the children of the powerful in the imperial capital, which Sophia has long known.

The reason why she took Diana and Melinda to the dinner party that Bai Feng took the lead in organizing yesterday was to ease the relationship between Bai Feng and the young children of the five major families in the southern realm, but it still ended in failure.

Facing Bai Feng with an apologetic face, Sophia didn't blame him at all, but comforted him that he didn't have to care; seeing such a reasonable Sophia for the first time, Bai Feng, who was ready to be scolded, was naturally moved.

Sophia didn't mean to blame Bai Feng, and Diana, who had a gentle personality, was even more unlikely to blame Bai Feng;
