"Wonderful, wonderful!" The old fox Taylor laughed from the bottom of his heart, judging from the old spicy eyes of his old spicy eyes who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, the probability of success of Coolford's serial plan is very high, and it can even be said that it is nine out of ten, he seems to have seen that the position of the governor of the north is beckoning to him, and said with a smile: "Clifford, I really didn't expect it, you actually have such a strategy, why have you been inconspicuous and dewy before?" ”

Clifford smiled flatteringly, and lost no time in patting his ass: "Even if you are a clever strategist, you must choose the right master to serve, you have no opportunity to perform in front of the teacher before, so you are naturally unwilling to show it, and now that the teacher is back, the students are sincerely defecting, how can they hide it?" ”

"Hahaha!" Taylor laughed wildly, today's meeting was so worthwhile, not only did he drink a rare good wine, but he also accepted Clifford, a strategic, as the mastermind, and said loudly: "Okay, Clifford." I'm glad you have this thought, don't worry, there will be a teacher in the future, and no one will be able to bully you. You did the teacher a great favor, say, what do you want in return? ”

Cliffor's heart is very big, and it is not at all something that Taylor can give, but Taylor is a crucial figure for him to seek start-up capital, and he must definitely please, so he said firmly: "The student has nothing to want, I only hope that after the teacher becomes the governor of the north, he can take the student to the post, so that the student can also ask the big cage of Vienna to follow the teacher to the three counties of the north to show his strength." ”

"Okay." The old fox Taylor agreed, he knew in his heart that the situation in the north was very complicated, the neighboring kingdoms of Frankfurt and Prussia wanted to get involved there, and even a large-scale conflict broke out, resulting in the kingdom's ruling machine there was a little dysfunctional, and there were many bandits in various places, as well as some local wealthy families, they were inextricably linked with the high-ranking officials and dignitaries of the royal capital, as well as foreign forces, even if he became the governor of the north, it was absolutely impossible to sit back and relax, on the contrary, all this was just the beginning, He needs Clifford, a shrewd and capable henchman, to be the mastermind, and when he encounters an emergency, there is someone who can discuss it with him, and said with a smile: "This is not difficult to do, you can rest assured." If I get this position, I hope Clifford will help me a lot. ”

"Teacher, if you say this, you will see the outside, if the teacher is useful to me, even if he speaks, he must know everything as a student." Clifford hurriedly poured Taylor a glass of wine and said with a courteous expression.

Taylor was in a good mood, and drank several glasses of wine with Clifford, and in the next steps, he had already thought about how to go, and said to Clifford with a little drunkenness: "Don't go today, and when I'm ready, you will come with me to meet the king." ”

This step was also his deliberate move, and he decided to introduce Clifford to the king, because when the king asked him about the specific measures yesterday, he could not answer, and today he can come up with such a detailed overall plan, which seems too abrupt, and the king will not believe that he came up with it himself, so he decided to take the initiative, so as to appear honest.

Second, the proposal to establish the post of Governor of the North would have best been made by Clifford, the author of the overall plan, and it would have been difficult not to think that it had been a deliberate act of his own making, which would have made the king wary of himself, and monarchs of ancient times had been very disgusted with those who wielded power.

Clifford was the author of the plan, and it was normal and natural to propose the establishment of a pilot governor of the north, and he himself was not qualified to compete for the governor of the north, so no one would suspect him of bad intentions, but would think that he was single-mindedly thinking about the country, and with this, this plan was easily accepted by the king.

"An audience with the king?" Collie was overjoyed, he knew that this meant that the old fox Taylor had completely regarded him as a cronie, and said with a smile: "The student listens to the teacher's arrangement. Teacher, rest assured, when you get to the palace, the students know what to say. ”

Taylor smiled knowingly, and looked at Clifford with a little more approval, it was a pleasure to deal with smart people.

After dinner, Clifford walked out of Taylor's house and came to his carriage, where he had something to say to Elkeson. Elkeson was napping in the carriage when he heard Clifford's footsteps, and immediately jumped down from the carriage, stood up straight, and said respectfully: "My master, are we going back now?" ”

"No, no." Clifford refused with a serious face: "I will not go back, I will go into the palace with Mr. Taylor to meet the king." ”

"An audience with the king?" Elkeson's eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Really? My master. Oh God, this is really wonderful, and if we have the support of the king, will not our hope of recovering our kingdom be greatly increased? ”

Clever knew that his few loyal followers had dreamed of restoring the Countdom of Sicily, and he was very touched by their loyalty, but he was a very sensible man, patted Elkeson on the shoulder, and smiled slightly: "Don't get too excited, my old friend. Things are not as simple as you think, people in this world are unprofitable and can't afford to be early, the king is also a layman, he will not do money-losing business, he will not help us restore the country in vain, we can't count on others, all this must rely on ourselves. ”

After speaking, he was afraid that Elkeson would be depressed, so he patted him on the shoulder, smiled and comforted: "But don't worry, my faithful friend." I've found another way, we may take some detours, but there is hope for success. Trust me, my friend. We had to make a detour because we were standing in front of an unattainable wall, at least, for us now. ”

Elkeson smiled slightly, what Sophia said was right, their little master had really grown up, if it was him before, he would definitely not be able to say such a thing, which made him feel very confident, as if he saw the light of the road ahead, and became more motivated, and said, "Oh, my master." According to what you say, I, Elkeson, have been a servant of the Clifford family for generations, but you have not seen me before, but that does not affect my loyalty. You can rest assured, I absolutely believe in you, and I will always follow you firmly and steadfastly. ”

"Thank you, Elkeson." Collie Fu smiled slightly: "You go back first, they will send someone to send me." When I go back, tell Sophia about this, and tell her not to touch Alia lightly, for there is another use for me to keep her. ”
