A woman demands that a man have a ** because she wants to gain her existence through the man's **. A woman does not understand the love of a man at all, but only sees one side of man, that is, the constant desire and possession of the object of his love, and the man himself, if he does not possess the instinct of rudeness at all, will not have the slightest effect on the woman.

– Otto Weininger (Austrian philosopher)

When he returned from his old butler, Count Abraham drank alone in the courtyard, and all the members of Abraham's family were ordered to stay in their rooms and not to go out without permission.

More than a dozen servants and attendants led by the old butler were distributed at the front and back doors of the courtyard, on the one hand, to welcome the possible Captain Wink, and on the other hand, to prevent other unrelated people from disturbing without permission.

"Sir, there is a restaurant steward outside the courtyard, with a new waiter, who wants to meet you. "Count Abraham was thinking about things, but the old butler, who was guarding outside the courtyard, brought him news that disturbed him.

"The service staff of the restaurant, do you still need me to meet in person? Don't see ......" Count Abraham, who refused with his sleeves brushed his sleeves, said and had a flash of inspiration, and instantly had an epiphany.

As soon as he thought of this, Count Abraham, who was still a little apprehensive in his heart, quickly stood up and ordered the old butler beside him, who was not sure of the situation: "Come with me to meet Commander Wink!"

"Commander Wink?!" After his pupils shrank suddenly, the old butler, who was not a stupid man, understood the relationship, and he did not dare to slack off, so he followed closely behind Count Abraham and strode towards the gate of the courtyard.

Before Count Abraham, who had a smile on his face, walked up, the steward of the restaurant who had brought Wink with him spoke respectfully: "Your Excellency, this is the new attendant of our restaurant, if you need anything in the future, just tell him." ”

The words of the restaurant steward were so clear that the clever Earl Abraham couldn't hear the meaning of the other party's words, so he also restrained the smile on his face, and pretended to be indifferent: "Okay, then let him try it first." ”

After speaking, Count Abraham, who had stopped, turned and walked back, and then the old butler, who knew Wenk's identity, assumed the posture of his butler and quietly led Wenk into the courtyard.

When there were only three people left in the courtyard, Count Abraham motioned with his eyes to the old butler to withdraw first, and when the old butler had bowed and left, before Count Abraham could speak, Wink took the initiative to ask:

"Count Abraham, as far as I know, you should be one of the main supporters of the Marquis of Bedouin, right?

"Commander Wink, we don't talk in front of the Mingren, since you chose to come to me after seeing that secret letter, it means that you have some understanding of my purpose, so there is no need for us to beat around the bush, let's talk straight. ”

"Good!" Wink, who was born in a military force and naturally did not like to waste time playing dumb riddles with Count Abraham, agreed with Count Abraham's statement and said bluntly: "I need to know the reason for your betrayal of the Marquis of Bedouin, and what is your worth?"

"Is there a reason for betrayal?" After smiling helplessly, Count Abraham said in a deep tone: "Because I don't want to be an enemy of General Bai Feng, who has a heavy army, and the Marquis of Bedouin refuses to take my suggestion, I can't let my family be buried for the Marquis of Bedouin!"

"Why?" Winck, who lacked trust in Count Abraham, asked sharply, "Why are you unwilling to be an enemy of our generals, and why are you willing to give up the fief and power that the Marquis of Bedouin has given you?"

"Because your General Bai Feng is too strong! Even if Marquis Bedouin has 30,000 elite troops, he can't be the opponent of General Bai Feng, who has an army of 300,000 people, not to mention, the 30,000 army under the command of Marquis Bedouin is mainly composed of rabble.

As for your so-called fief and power, once General Bai Feng leads his army back to Brojansson Province, will it still make sense for the Marquis of Bedouin to divide the land to our family?

As Count Abraham expounded on this, Wink's eyes were fixed on his eyes, and in Bai Feng's words, a man's mouth could make up countless lies, but his eyes would not lie, but would expose his truest heart.

Needless to say, when Count Abraham talked about the Marquis of Bedouin, his eyes were indeed full of helplessness, and he was not dead at all, and in view of this, Wink did not say anything to question Count Abraham's statement.

After nodding his head undeniably, Wink urged Count Abraham with a sharp look in his eyes, "And what about your worth?"

"My value is reflected in two aspects: first, I can pretend to support the Marquis of Bedouin, help General Bai Feng understand the Marquis of Bedouin's every move, and report this information to General Bai Feng without reservation.

Second, I also have a group of nobles under my command who are willing to follow General Bai Feng with me, although most of them are not strong knights, but together they can control about 6,000 or so escort troops. ”

Wenke, who had some doubts in his heart, said sharply: "I believe that you can do the two things you said, but how do I know if your attitude of supporting the Marquis of Bedouin is a feint, or your current attitude is a feint?"

"Commander Wink, you are General Bai Feng's confidant who stayed in the province of Bronjansong, I don't question your ability, that's why I took the initiative to find you, and in the same way, I hope you can believe in my sincerity, this is the basis of our cooperation, isn't it?"

Count Abraham, who didn't want to be too passive, replied to Wink without being soft or hard, to which Wink, who had another plan, did not rush to make any response, but remained silent.

After a little thought, Wink, who had made up his mind, went straight to the point: "Count Abraham, I can accept your sincerity on behalf of the general, but I also want you to understand that you are not qualified to cooperate with the general, and your choice is: destroy or submit." ”

Wink's simple and crude expression was really beyond Count Abraham's imagination, and he did not expect that his surrender not only did not exchange Wink's kind words to soothe, but instead tied his family to Bai Feng's chariot.

However, then again, Bai Feng's chariot was much larger than that of the Marquis of Bedouin, especially for the family whose strength was far less than that of the previous Earl of Abraham, and it was not necessarily a good thing to submit to Bai Feng, who was gaining more authority.

Count Abraham, who came in a hurry, stayed in Count Abraham's courtyard for less than fifteen minutes before leaving in a hurry, and Count Abraham, who was determined to take refuge in White Peak, officially began his career as a 'spy' loyal to White Peak after receiving Wenk's promise.

In the evening of the same day, Count Abraham first invited the knight representatives led by Woodlaw to gather in the restaurant where he lived, and after a short exchange, Count Abraham, who had recovered his former spirit, took the knight representatives and went straight to the governor's palace!
