"The picket set up by the Count of Thórse has retreated, and is no longer ready to meddle in the matter of the new emperor's succession, and I heard that it is under secret pressure, but I don't know what it is. ”

"In addition, during this time, the Marquis of Hawkes and the new Minister of Ceremonies were very close, and they did not know what was being planned. ”

"The price of bread has risen by ...... again"

"...... in the court"

In the morning, in a small and inconspicuous house in Char City.

Sitting at a desk, Nagarjuna and Zonghu respectively looked at the intelligence documents they had collected and exchanged voices.

After a while, Nagarjuna picked up a document, looked at it for a while, his eyes became solemn, and he handed it to Zong Hu and said: "Look at this, the information given by a spider web dark line that has just been activated: The second prince doesn't know what is affected, and his attitude towards Char's situation has suddenly wavered, and he is a little biased towards the chaos faction." ”

Zong Hu's heavy eyebrows moved, took the document, read it several times, and asked in a strange voice: "Second Prince, aren't you a staunch stabilizer, you have always wanted to restore Char's stability." To be reasonable, although the original order of succession could not be carried out because of the assassination of the eldest prince, he was indeed the most promising successor. When the situation stabilized, it was in his favor, and I couldn't understand why he changed his position at all. ”

"That's right, I don't understand it either. Nagarjuna sighed, "Anyway, if I were in his place, I would never do this." Hey, he's done that, but it's a bit of a mess for us. It took us so many days to come up with a plan that would have some hope of maintaining Char's situation and making it better. In this plan, the second prince is a crucial person, and if he wavers, the whole plan will fail even if it is not complete, and it will be half of the failure, which is uncomfortable. ”

"Then what should we do next?" asked Zong Hu.

"Whew-"

Nagarjuna exhaled lightly, pursed his lips, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "This is the end of the matter...... Let's eat first. ”

"Huh?" Zong Hu was stunned.

"Eat. Nagarjuna repeated, explaining earnestly, "The plan is messed up, and if you want to remedy it, it is not something that can be done in a short period of time. Since it's useless to be in a hurry, it's better to eat something, rest your brain, and then make a good calculation. ”

"Okay. Zong Hu was convinced.

Nagarjuna turned around, took a basket from a nearby shelf, looked at the three pieces of dry bread in it, picked a piece of better quality and threw it to Zong Hu, and said, "Eat it." ”

Zong Hu caught it and glanced at it twice, but instead of stuffing it into his mouth, he put it on the table.

"What's the matter? Don't you want to eat again?" Nagarjuna said, "Didn't I say that no matter how difficult it is, you must learn to enjoy it properly, and the enjoyment of food is a very important aspect, I ......"

Zong Hu interrupted Nagarjuna's words and said, "I don't want to eat because I've eaten too much bread in the past two days. In other words, you always claim to enjoy food, so why do you always invite me to eat bread? You also have a lot of money, what do you do with such savings, do you save money, do you go to women?"

"Nonsense!" Nagarjuna said angrily, "I just think that bread is a pure food that I can enjoy better, and other foods, although delicious, add too many condiments, but make me sick." ”

"Really?"

"Of course it is. ”

"Alright then, just enjoy your bread slowly, I'm going to eat what I prepared myself. Zong Hu pushed the bread in front of Nagarjuna, turned to the side, and brought a food box from the corner.

Nagarjuna took a bite of the dry bread, his expression suddenly stiffened, and he looked directly at Zong Hu and confirmed, "Did you really prepare things yourself?"

"Yes, I prepared lunch for myself before you came, and I wanted to eat it with you, and I would like to repay you for inviting me to eat bread for so long. But since you think it's going to be disgusting, forget it. As he spoke, Zong Hu lifted the food box to the table and opened it, and a stream of white steam suddenly erupted.

I saw that there were four exquisite dishes with complete heat preservation settings, including fried meat, grilled shrimp, suckling pigeon, and mushroom soup.

Zonghu picked up the utensils in the food box and was about to eat, only to find that Nagarjuna was one step faster.

"Smack!"

Nagarjuna tapped his fingers on the table, and the subtle force was transmitted, and the grilled shrimp on the plate in the food box automatically jumped up and spun into Nagarjuna's open mouth.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa......"

Nagarjuna chewed and swallowed, slurped, and commented: "There are a lot of spices, and the roasting is not good, and it does taste a little disgusting, but it's not that it can't be eaten." ”

Zong Hu shook his head, but did not stop Nagarjuna's tasting, and took the tableware while cutting the fried meat, and said, "Okay, don't talk nonsense, you can eat if you want." After eating, let's use more manpower to investigate the reason for the second prince's change of position, I think there are clues to dig up, maybe it is controlled by the mastermind behind the scenes. ”

"Well, let's go. Nagarjuna shook a grilled shrimp into his mouth again, nodded as he chewed, swallowed, and thought for a moment, "By the way, is it necessary for us to send our people to the west?"

"West, where?"

"Sarin. Nagarjuna's eyes narrowed slightly, "I heard that Richard really went to Sharin, although he is indeed unwilling to help solve Char's affairs, but it is a force that cannot be ignored, we must pay attention." Besides, the reason why he was reluctant to help solve Char's affairs was because he felt that Char had little to do with him and that there was no benefit.

But nothing is absolute, and when we find a little clue and find something that can arouse the interest of the other party, we may be able to get the other person to make a move. Then it will be more convenient for us to send a few people over to contact and negotiate. ”

Zong Hu listened, forked a piece of fried meat with a fork and put it in his mouth, and chewed it carefully.

After chewing and swallowing, Zong Hu nodded and replied, "This idea of yours is feasible. ”

After a pause, his tone changed again: "But...... Don't be in a hurry. I also received information that Richard had just arrived in Sarin, and it was not clear what he was doing and what his purpose was. After a while, when he settles down, we will really find out a little clue, and it will not be too late to send people. ”

"Well, then wait a few more days. ”

"Hmm. ”

......

Three days later, in the morning.

Outside the borders of the Soma Alliance, the area occupied by the Kingdom of Sika.

The Sarin Special Garrison Area, the largest city, Blackwater City.

In the open space outside the city gate, a group of people dressed in gorgeous costumes were standing scattered, looking at the road to the east from time to time.

A little farther away from them, many civilians were lining up under the shouts of soldiers, and others were sweeping the ground and hanging festive decorations, all in preparation for the entrance ceremony, hoping to curry favor with the new lord who was about to arrive.

And it was the people who were standing scattered and dressed in splendid costumes who organized all this.

Most of them were officials who had received instructions and quickly gathered from all over Shalin to Blackwater City, a few were powerful people from Sharin, and wizards, and they were all a little nervous and apprehensive at this time.

If it was just an ordinary lord coming, they would definitely not be like this, but many of them have heard that the lord who came is an extremely powerful wizard who can destroy the city and destroy the country at will. Half of the previous national war between the Alliance and Sika was won because of the other side - and this was on the premise that the other side was too lazy to make a move.

If the other side really goes all out, one person can win the war.
