Chapter 115 Six Adlemm's Ambitions
After meeting with Sulla's envoy, Adlem, walked around his small courtyard with his hands behind his back. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's not so much that Adlem wants to do this, but that he needs time to regain his composure - in fact, he didn't expect Sulla to agree so easily, and what surprised him even more was that from Saura's conditions, it seemed that the woman had not only figured out her intentions, but even acted on it a long time ago. Adlem suddenly found that he had underestimated this woman in the past, at first he thought that she was just a woman who used her beauty to deceive men, but later discovered her schemes and methods, and now he felt that this woman was even more terrible.
If only I could keep this woman out of the country in the first place. Adlem couldn't help but have this unconstructive thought. Containing Gilmus provoked Palch's attack, and containing this woman was actually more dangerous. If four years ago, who could have believed that this woman could have gone from being a widow in exile to a princess of Arubania, and that she could still be a force to be reckoned with in politics?
Adlerham did have the intention of retiring before, anyway, he was deposed by Dicar, so he could throw away his hands and ignore all the affairs of Arubania. But Adlerham knew in his heart that he was deceiving himself, after all, he could not stand idly by when the motherland was in danger. Sulla made this clear in her negotiations, and hinted that she could not stay out of the situation, and even if she did, she would take steps to force herself to comply.
Adlem understands that this woman is ruthless, in order to gain a foothold in the country, she secretly adopted countless means, knocking out her living space in the court, if it weren't for the fact that this country still needs to be protected by a military force like herself, I'm afraid she may still be a killer. Now that she had asked herself, who had been framed by her, to come out and cooperate with her in order to gain power, Adlerm couldn't imagine what Sulla's current power would do to her if she refused to cooperate. Therefore, choosing to cooperate with Sulla has almost become a choice between life and death.
Adrim thought a lot about this, and to be honest, the current king was not an ideal monarch, and Sulla's goal was only to use the dim king to take power for himself. Once her power is secured, then she is likely to hold the real power of the country, and King Dikal will not be confused on such a matter even if he is confused, so it is almost certain that when the contradiction between the two appears, it will be a life-and-death struggle, and with Sulla's ability to plan and execute, Dikal has a very high chance of defeat, and then Sulla's son Diomas will become a puppet king, and Sulla will rule.
Adrim doesn't want this to happen, but it's a pity that with his current status, it is difficult to stop Sula's actions, and if he is not careful, he may be killed by Sula. Therefore, instead of refusing to cooperate with him and incurring the disaster of death, it is better to choose to cooperate with him, at least he can offer some practical conditions as a bargaining chip, and if he can return to politics and master military power with this opportunity, Sulla will not be able to do whatever he wants with him, and at least he will be a restraining force at that time.
As for this condition, Adlerm offered a reform plan that he had thought about but did not dare to say, let alone implement. If Sulla agrees to this condition and implements it, then Arubania will have a chance to be reborn; If it doesn't work out in the end, then at least it will provide a good reason for himself and Sulla to turn against each other in the future.
Sulla's ability to agree to this condition is both a good thing and a bad thing for Adler, the good thing is that things are evolving in the direction that Adlerm wants, and the bad side is that Sulla agrees so easily, I am afraid that he has already made a calculation in his heart, and the delicate alliance between the two will definitely be mixed with countless mutual calculations in the future, and I am afraid that there is no hope for a leisurely life.
At this time, Aderim's henchman Luke came and said, "Master, as you might expect, I have found out who the secret agent that the king has sent to your side is. ”
Adlem waved his hand and said, "You don't have to tell me who it is, you just know it." From now on, you will have to keep a close eye on this person, and at the same time find out who is in contact with him, and who other members of the party do not. ”
"Yes. Why don't you sell him too? ”
"That's not good, the frequent sale of slaves will arouse suspicion, and if the king's spies are in it on both occasions, it will not be concealed in any way. It's better to stay around, anyway, we need him to pass on the information to the king, to deliver the message we want to deliver. ”
"The host Mingjian. Is that a matter settled? ”
"It's done. The woman agreed to all my conditions in one bite. ”
Luke was taken aback and said, "Could it be that she is already prepared?" ”
Adlem gently put his index finger to his lips: "It's good that you know in your heart." This woman is really not simple. Fortunately, her idea is closer to ours, rather than supporting the big one. ”
Luke, of course, understood that the big one meant Gilmus, and that a prince of Yaki becoming king of Arubania would inevitably attract great opposition, and Sulla, who recognized this, maintained a calm judgment. said: "Dealing with such a woman is really chilling, I don't know which day she will be calculated." ”
Adlerham smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I probably won't even have time to drink in the future." But if you think about it, if we let it develop, we don't know what will happen to this country, and we can at least hope to get things back on track if we work harder. ”
Luke said, "So what do we do next?" ”
Adlem held out two fingers and said, "First, we can't stop the attack on the rear of Palchi, but we don't have to go as deep as this one. Palci's counterattack proved to be quite fierce, but it did not use too many front-line troops, which shows that Palci's strength is quite strong. As long as we can contain a part of its forces and dare not leave the shores of the Diqil Sea without permission, we will have achieved our goal. Second, to ensure the safety of Basradis, the fleet of Pas Bay must be strengthened as soon as possible, and the fleet of Parci is very strong, and even if we rely on our land fortresses to fight against it, there is still a certain danger of it, and it is necessary to ensure as much as possible that enemy ships cannot sail into the Bay of Pass.
