Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Messenger
The messenger was secretly relieved to see that Clifford had taken the gift list, and this mission was completed, and said with a flattering smile: "Lord Earl Qiqi, our lord has sent this money to your home, and you can see it when you return home." ”
With such a large sum of money, he can do a lot of things, he can open a winery to make the best wine in the world, or he can wait until he unlocks the shuttle weaving technology to open a weaving factory and crush his contemporaries, but on the surface he still said very calmly: "I know, when you go back, I will thank you for me." ”
"No thanks, no thanks. It's our duty to thank Earl Clifford. The representative hurriedly nodded and patted his ass, and said, "Our big boss still wants the villain to ask Earl Clifford, is there any certainty about this recruitment?" We heard that General Charles was against recruiting us, but if he didn't agree, what should we do? ”
Collie sneered, stared straight at him with a pair of eyes that were not angry and arrogant, as if staring at a captive, and said lightly: "You can rest assured about this, in the three counties in the north, it's not him General Charlie who has the final say, I guess you have already heard about it, this prison army has made a military order, do you think this prison army will do that kind of thing that you are not sure of?" ”
"Of course not, of course not." The representative nodded again and complimented: "I have long heard that Lord Prison is resourceful and has no last resort, and what you recognize must be right, our brothers in the whole cottage believe in you, and they all say that you are an angel sent by God and are here to save us." ”
"Hehehe." Collie smiled faintly, he was extremely comfortable with this sycophant, it seems that no matter what kind of person he is, he eats this set, slowly walked back to his seat, sat down steadily, picked up a document, and said casually while instructing: "Okay, go back and tell your big boss, let him wait for the news, he will be an official of the country in the future, but don't forget to invite me to drink." ”
"That's nature, that's nature. All of us in the cottage will not forget the great kindness of the prison army. "That representative is really like a minion, and he has been patting Clifford's ass with his hands down, and it feels good to be in control of other people's fate.
After sending off the representative, Clifford slept alone, although he expected Taylor to immediately give an order to stop the attack and recruit An, and according to the time of the order transmission, he could come over in three days at most, it should be said that he thought he could win the gamble this time, but there are no absolutes in the world, money is in the pocket, and if he didn't see Taylor's order with his own eyes for a day, his heart couldn't be steady for a day, and he tossed and turned many times, and then gradually fell asleep.
Choen City, inside the Governor's Palace of Taylor. Governor Taylor eagerly received the envoy of the Consul General of the Kingdom of Prussia in the three northern counties, although he was very dissatisfied with this group of robbers who infringed on the sovereignty and territory of his country, but as an old politician and ruler, he would not be rash, and now he broke with the powerful neighbor, and very politely invited the envoy to sit down, and said: "Mr. Messenger, I have worked hard from afar, I don't know what your Excellency is doing so far away?" ”
The envoy owed a debt, and expressed his gratitude to the dignified governor of the three northern counties of the Rhine Kingdom, and said with a straight face: "Your Excellency, Your Excellency, I have come to make peace. ”
"Peacemaker?" Taylor frowned slightly, the light in his eyes flickered slightly, he had probably guessed his intention, squinted his eyes, casually flipped through the documents on the table, and said casually: "Dare to ask Your Excellency the Envoy who you want to be a peacemaker?" There's no one fighting here in this governor. ”
"Why do you knowingly ask, Your Excellency?" The envoy owes a bow, and still has a salty expression and says: "Your army is now besieging Joseph's cottage, although Joseph is a bandit, he was forced to fall into the grass back then, and he once made a great effort to resist the invasion of the Kingdom of Frankfurt, and now he wants to accept Zhao'an and serve the country, I think this is the best of both worlds." However, your generals at the front line do not see the benefits of this and still refuse to let him go, and our consul general, in line with the principle of good-neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, is willing to be this peacemaker, and persuade both sides to withdraw their troops and settle the matter peacefully. I also ask for the Governor's approval. ”
The corners of Governor Taylor's mouth outlined a sneer, what has made a lot of effort in resisting the invasion of the Kingdom of Frankfurt, in the final analysis, it is just to help you fight each other in the war between your Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Frankfurt, although this war is fought on the land of the Kingdom of Rhine, but it is the dog-eat-dog between the two countries in order to compete for the interests of the three counties in the north, Joseph fighting the Kingdom of Frankfurt is not a service for the country.
Everything is as Cliffor's expectation, although Governor Taylor dislikes these two robber neighbors very much in his heart, but now his own strength is not full, he does not dare to tear his face with them, Joseph's small group of bandits, whether it is exterminated or recruited is harmless, if the relationship between the two countries is tense for this reason, it is not worth it, however, he refuses to agree easily, it will appear that he is too good to talk, and he has fallen into the prestige of the governor of the three counties in the north, if he becomes a good man in the eyes of the other party, soft persimmon, Then wouldn't he be bullied in the future, squinting his eyes, putting on a posture full of authority, and said lightly: "You came all the way to tell me this, even if I agreed, I'm afraid it's too late." By the time the order was delivered, the warriors of our Rhine Kingdom would have already broken through the bandit's cottage. Your envoy, please come back. ”
The messenger did not move, but still sat there calmly, and said with confidence: "Your Excellency the Governor, do not worry about this, our Consul General has been prepared for this for a long time, and has already sent another representative to meet with the overseer you have sent to the barracks of the Fourth Legion, Lord Cliffor, I think the wise Lord Clifford will organize the warriors of your country." I beg the Governor-General to give an order, for if it is too late, I am afraid that something will happen, which is not a good thing for both of you and us. ”
Sure enough, cunning enough, very well prepared, Governor Taylor raised a trace of vigilance in his heart, it seems that this Prussian kingdom will be my future rival, this country is relatively small, and the enthusiasm for the land is almost fanatical, they have long begun to fight the three counties in the north, which is clear to people of insight.
