Taylor's life was not smooth, he was a fellow countryman of the Vienna Governor Bohr, the core figure of the Second Prince's Party, and he had a good relationship since he was a child. The salary of the editor of the National History Museum is very low, and there is no gray income, Taylor has been working there for ten years, his family is poor, and he has always rented a house in the royal capital.

Many of his friends advised him to become a county magistrate so that the family could live a prosperous life, but he refused because he thought it would take him away from the center of power.

It can be seen that Taylor is a man of great political ambition.

Later, his friend Pol began to train the new army, and he did not hesitate to condescend to become a staff officer there, during which he used his connections in the royal capital to help Pol tide over many difficulties. The relationship between the two has always been very iron. In order to repay the favor, Bol recommended Taylor to the king many times, but unfortunately, he has not been taken seriously.

Taylor struggled in obscurity at the bottom of the aristocracy for more than ten years, and finally waited for the opportunity. A few years earlier, the combined forces of the neighboring kingdoms of Prussia and Frankfurt had defeated the main forces of the Rhine kingdom, and the king was forced to run away.

It was a precarious time, and until he arrived at the safety of the capital, the king had been dressed as an ordinary farmer, so to speak, and he had eaten a meal without a meal.

King Frederick VII was defeated in this battle, his prestige was greatly damaged, and he fell down in the altar at once, and the careerists and powerful factions in the country sneered at him, and there was no longer the respect of the past, and when he needed help the most, they left him one after another, each to protect his strength, like Boer, and even colluded with the enemy country to sign a non-aggression pact, which is simply tolerable, which is unbearable?

Taylor did the opposite, after he learned the news of the king's escape, regardless of the poverty of his family, scraped together a sum of money, accompanied him to run, although he was a man of letters, could not carry on his shoulders, could not carry his hands, but his charcoal in the snow, so that the old king Frederick VII was very moved, regarded him as a loyal servant of the kingdom.

After the war, Frederick VII returned to the royal capital, but at this time, he was faced with internal and external troubles, and had to rely on Taylor, who he considered a loyal servant, to help him maintain the situation.

Sophia smiled slightly, and said with a confident look: "Dear master, you are right. With Taylor's current value, he doesn't look down on your property, but what do you think Taylor cares about the most? Will it be money? ”

"Of course not." Collie vetoed, he still knows his teacher very well, this old fox has always taken grabbing greater power as the highest goal in life, and a little money is no longer enough for him now, he groaned for a while, and asked tentatively: "What do you mean......"

Sophia put the index finger of her right hand on her chin, smiled slightly, and paced around the room, saying thoughtfully: "Not long ago, in order to revitalize the country, Frederick VII secretly sent Taylor and others to his former opponents the Kingdom of Prussia and the Kingdom of Frankfurt to investigate and study, hoping to find a way to strengthen the country. ”

"Go on." Clifford seemed to realize the value of this piece of information, and his eyes lit up, urging Sophia to say.

Sophia did not change her rhythm because of his urging, she still looked unhurried, and said: "The reason why neighboring countries are strong is because they have concentrated power in the hands of the royal family, unlike us, the royal family's power is weak, and the local forces are in their own way, and they are completely scattered and can only be bullied. After Taylor returned to China, he would definitely use this line of thought to persuade the king to enrich the country and strengthen the army. However, this approach will definitely be opposed by local powerful factions such as Ball, and according to the information we have obtained, Taylor has not yet thought of specific measures to implement this line of thought, so his idea can only be reduced to a dead letter. Dear master, if you can help him to think of a way, he will definitely be valued by the king, and then have a higher status and greater power, and you will definitely be rewarded by him for your advice at this time, so that we will be one step closer to the great cause of our restoration. ”

Clifford nodded approvingly, and looked at Sophia with great appreciation, this is definitely a virtuous helper, thank God for letting such a perfect person come to his side, take her hands, and say gently: "You are so right, dear Sophia." I think I'm going to have to visit my teacher soon. Before I could, though, I needed to borrow the brewing equipment from Henry's Tavern. You may not know that my teacher Taylor likes to take two sips, and if I don't prepare a greeting gift for him, he may not be able to think of me as a student. ”

Sophia felt a burst of warmth in her hands, and the happiness in her heart that was grasped by her long-cherished master was simply full, but she still couldn't fully understand Coolford's operation, and said with a little doubt: "Master, do you want to make wine for him yourself?" There's no need for that, we can buy him some wine. ”

Collie shook his head with a slight smile and said with an unfathomable expression, "No, no. You don't understand, Sophia, what I'm going to give him is definitely a unique wine, so that he will always remember me. ”

"Uh, okay. Sophia is at your disposal, and if you really want to do it, then we must act immediately, and I think in a while, Polina and that Arya will be back. Sophia said lightly, sincerity written on her face.

"You're so right, we'll go now. As for the woman, I'm sure your men will be able to handle it easily. As he spoke, Clifford went to get his coat, and Sophia took the lead, took it, and draped it over him, and then patted the earth carefully, like a good wife.

The two walked out of the gate together, Yasan and the others outside the door were still busy building toilets, after Sophia saw them, she smiled at them with deep meaning, those people are all senior old spies, naturally know what Sophia's actions represent, which means that they finally recognize their master.

"My lord, I wish you a pleasant journey." The talkative Elkeson shouted with his hands raised.

"Thanks, I think we're going to have a great time." Clifford waved politely at them, and followed Sophia towards Henry's Tavern.

Now that the time had come to evening, and business was really good in the tavern, Sophia did not rush to talk to Henry, but pretended to be an ordinary guest, found a person to sit down, and said, "Boss." Give us wines that are a specialty of the south of the kingdom. ”
