Chapter 33: Setting Up the Set (I)
The four of Evan sat under the simple tent, the atmosphere in the tent was a little weird at this time, Evan's face showed a serious look, while the three people around him were with their heads down, their faces were flushed, and their strange eyes swept towards Evan from time to time, looking like they wanted to laugh but held back, and it was very hard.
"Ahem, ahem, ahemβit's okay! It's okay! You drink yours, I just asked? Earl Evan! What's next for you? β
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Calis coughed vigorously a few times, breaking the embarrassment, and timely raised the question that Evan had just asked and Evan didn't answer? This question is also what the three of them are eager to know in their hearts.
"What's next?"
"What's next? I haven't figured it out yet? I don't know what good opinions do you three have? β
Hearing Calis's question, Evan lowered his head and repeated it in a low voice as if talking to himself, then raised his head with a blank look and opened his mouth to ask the three for advice.
"Ahem-a-"
As soon as Evan's words spoke, Consei on the other side was taking a sip of water, and after hearing Evan's words, he choked in his throat all of a sudden, turned his head directly, sprayed Aguero next to him in the face, and then let out a violent cough, and the scene suddenly became a little flustered.
This sudden shock completely shocked everyone, everyone quickly stood up and looked at Aguero with a face full of wine, Consei also hurriedly stepped forward, while apologizing while stretching out a slightly dry old hand to help Aguero wipe, and finally after a simple wipe, in Consei's repeated apologies, Aguero had to admit that he was unlucky, and everyone sat back in their respective seats.
"Doesn't Count Evan have any plans for his next step?"
Calis was angry but helpless at Conse's interruption of his questioning, and as soon as he sat down, he continued to ask Evan what he meant.
"I really don't have any plans right now? Can you give us some advice? β
Evan pretended to look dazed, looked up at the three of Kalis, and spoke.
"You really didn't plan to? How is this possible? Don't tease us? We are now allies, and we should trust each other. β
Conse secretly glanced at the sulking Aguero beside him, and then Evan's words came directly, doubts rose in his heart, he really didn't believe it, this cunning boy like a fox had no plan.
"I really don't plan to do it now, if I wasn't forced to be helpless, then I would go back to my territory this morning and live my life well."
Evan spread his hands and said to the three of them with a very helpless look.
Even if he has an idea, he won't tell anyone, not to mention these three greedy old things, for the three people in front of him, Evan really doesn't have much cold, for this kind of cunning person, he only thinks about how to get benefits for nothing, Evan himself is very annoying.
"You go back to your own territory? And what about the territory that has just been laid? Do you send someone to manage it? β
Hearing that Evan was about to go home, Calis's eyes couldn't help but light up, and the three of them turned their heads to look at each other in unison, and saw joy in each other's eyes, Calis couldn't wait to open his mouth and ask.
"This territory? At that time, because of hatred, I really didn't think about it so much, and I didn't expect to win those three boys so smoothly, and now this place is occupied, but-"
Evan heard Calis's words and saw the shining eyes of the three of them, and laughed secretly in his heart, "Fish! Finally enough! But the expression on his face pretended to be quite helpless, and he replied with a look of distress, and stopped in the middle of speaking.
"But what?"
Aguero, who had been silent and secretly angry, asked impatiently at this time, although he was straightforward, it didn't mean that he was stupid, who wouldn't be greedy when he saw such a large territory? So he didn't think about it at the moment, so he asked eagerly.
As Aguero asked, Calis and Conse also stared at Evan in front of them, hoping to get the answer in their hearts.
"Say it! There's something hard to talk about. β
"That's what you say! We are allies, we can say whatever we want, and if there is a problem, we can solve it together. β
Seeing that Evan heard Aguero's question, he didn't answer immediately, but lowered his head and pondered, Calis and Conseid's urgency in their hearts was obviously a little uncontrollable, and they asked out loud in unison.
"Hey! Since everyone is talking about this, and we are allies, and you are much older and more experienced than me, then I have nothing to hide, so I will make it clear to you! β
Seeing the other party's eagerness to ask himself, Evan felt that the heat was almost over, and with a look of helplessness and remorse, he sighed deeply before he spoke.
After he said these words, he raised his head and looked at the three eager old faces opposite, knowing that they were waiting for their answers, so this time he didn't continue to shirk and spoke.
"The lords also know that this territory is too far away from my territory, and there are your territories in between, which is not very convenient for me to accept the management of this territory-
I'm alone, and I can't separate the two halves, so I can't take care of this territory at all, plus I'm young, and everyone knows that I'm from a civilian background, and I have no experience in how to manage the territory and the people, and my territory has already made a mess for me, and if I add this territory, I don't think I really have that ability. β
Evan paused as he spoke, looking at the three leaders on the other side whose eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and his face was greedy, and he smiled in his heart.
"That's a real problem, Earl Evan, haven't you considered arranging for your own subordinates to manage this territory?"
Seeing Evan stop and look at them when he said this, the man of Consei was old, suppressed the excitement in his heart, replaced it with a serious expression, and pretended to be a good person and asked Evan tentatively.
"How could you not have thought about it? Last night, for this matter, several of his captains made a fuss, otherwise how can I say that I was messed up? They all want to govern this territory, they all want to set themselves up as kings, and they think I'm young and I'm stupid, and they can't see it? In fact, their purpose is so obvious that even a fool can see it, not to mention that I am not stupid. β
Evan said to the three of them with an arrogant face, at this time Evan felt like a child showing off his cleverness to adults, with a proud face, and he looked very smart.
"And they're right, that's the best way to do it now? You can choose one of them, your trusted subordinate to take care of this place, after all, such a large piece of land is something you have worked so hard to get. β
Looking at Evan in front of him, who had a villainous face, the three leaders all felt God's injustice in their hearts, why did such a good and large territory fall into the hands of Evan, it should fall into the hands of a knowledgeable and experienced leader like them, but although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say that, Calis said his question to Evan with a concerned face. His words felt like he was worried about Evan.
"Let them manage the turf? You're kidding? How long have I been in charge of Rolf's domain? How old am I? The people I use now are all Rolf's trained subordinates, although they seem to listen to me now? But once they're out of my control? Will that turn out to kill me?
I haven't slept all night for this matter, I really don't know what to do, I don't want to lose it, the warrior clan is definitely unwilling, so many people have been killed and wounded, and the hard-earned territory is turned away, I think the clansmen will go crazy and will remove me as a leader, and they may kill me out of anger. β
Evan's current expression still has the proud look just now, at this time he looked like an angry child with an expression of endless grievances, and the words he said seemed to have no energy, and he said weakly.
After listening to Evan's words, everyone realized that the young man in front of them was not yet twenty years old, and it had not been a year since he took over Rolf's territory.
But isn't this the result that Calis, Aguero, and Conse want? They followed, on the one hand, to prevent Evan from attacking their territory, and on the other hand, not to take advantage of them? Originally, they just wanted to confuse the people, or get some wealth and livestock, and they were satisfied.
But who knows, when good luck comes, it can't be stopped, and such a large territory is now placed in front of them, and it becomes within reach.
"Territory" is always more important than the people and wealth, as long as you have a territory, are you afraid of no one? As long as you can get this territory, when the time comes, let your people go to life, and in a few decades, you may be able to become a hegemon.
"Ha Lu Ha - what you said also makes sense, after all, you are still too young, and you have not cultivated your subordinates to be loyal to you, and now this situation, it is indeed difficult for you."
With such a thought, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed, although they tried their best to suppress the joy in their hearts, but at this time, any method seemed to have lost its effect, and even the old and refined Conse could not keep his composure, and said to Evan with a smile, not to mention the two middle-aged men, Calis and Conse.
Seeing that the smiles on the faces of the three of them couldn't be hidden, Evan sneered in his heart, remembering the old saying from his previous life, "Don't look at you having fun today, be careful to pull Qingdan in the future!" "There will be a day when you will cry.
"So! You just asked me what I want to do next? That's why I can't answer, and now I'm stumped here? The three elders have been leaders for so many years, there must be a good way to solve it, please help me, Daen Evan dare not forget. β
Although he was sneering in his heart, at this time, Evan gave full play to his ability to talk about business in his previous life, but his face did not show anything, and his words became more and more sincere.
