Octagon had received a letter from his father, from which he knew that Ma Bang had formed a strategic alliance with the Taipings to deal with Aquino I, and that he had to be involved as an internal officer.

In other words, whether he wants to or not, he should be determined.

Originally, he was still a little wavering, between Aquino and the Taiping Army, he still did not make a final decision, he still wanted to have more time to think about it again, but Ma Bang had already made the final decision for him.

In this way, he has no choice, or rather, he has made a choice, even if the decision is not made by himself.

Moreover, he also had to sigh at the swiftness of the Taiping army's actions and powerful means, once he couldn't get the best result here, he would poke his seven inches, attack Ma Bang, and make Ma Bang surrender, and Ma Bang obeyed, can he not accept it?

He can only say, the Taiping Army, amazing! That's amazing!

However, it is true that the Taiping army is powerful, but Aquino has now become the enemy of the octagon, which makes it even more difficult for him to sleep, and he is so vicious to Aquino that others don't know that he is still willing, but he has always been by Aquino's side, and he knows a lot about his ruthlessness, if he can't accurately knock Aquino down, then his fate is conceivable.

And, no doubt, he will die an ugly death, because Aquino I has always shown no mercy to traitors.

At this time, Aquino stared at him, he felt uncomfortable, as if he was being stared at by a poisonous snake, he felt very uncomfortable, and his sick face was even more pale, and cold sweat seemed to break out on his forehead, but he did not dare to move, he was afraid that Aquino would be suspicious because of this.

"General Octagon. What are your thoughts on today's events? Aquino stared at Octagon for a moment, then finally asked.

To be honest, among his four major generals, he has the most complicated feelings for Octagon. Octagon is a person who has the ability and excellent martial arts, but it is reluctant to include him as one of the four generals of the Nanyang Kingdom, but Aquino has to include him among the four generals because his identity is extraordinary.

Octagon has a special identity, he is the prince of Mabang and the hope of Mabang's future. If Aquino wants to make peace with Mabang, he must have a good relationship with Mabang, and although he also thought about swallowing Mabang in one gulp and saving him so much trouble, he also knows that if he wants to swallow Mabang, he will have to pay a very heavy price, without being prepared for anything. He must adopt a gentle strategy and stabilize Ma Bang first. Then find a way to break it and subdue it.

And the way to stabilize Ma Bang is nothing more than to give him benefits and respect, and reusing Ma Bang Prince is one of the most important means he uses.

Of course, the attitude towards the anise. Aquino I was very different from the other three generals, he treated the other three generals with no regard for others, and he reused the octagonal at all. Also be prepared.

Therefore, this has created a phenomenon, that is, Octagon has a respected status in the Nanyang Kingdom, and has won the trust and reuse of Aquino, and Aquino has also entrusted him with many important matters to deal with, but only Octagonal himself understands in his heart that in fact, this qiē is all an illusion, and it is all a trick used by Aquino to deceive the people of Nanyang to hold his subjects.

Aquino did not grant the actual power, but firmly held the qiē in his own hands, and the octagonal only obeyed the orders, and the qiē he did could not escape the eyes of Aquino I.

Octagon has a word of suffering, but he must deal with it carefully, he knows better than anyone else that his loss of life is small, but it affects the safety of Ma Bang, which is a big matter, so he must pretend to be respectful to Aquino, and he is hardworking, and he has complaints in his heart but pretends to be nothing.

It's really bitter anise.

As for Aquino, as the resentment gathers more and more, Octagon hates to kill him quickly, but he has to find an opportunity to find a chance to knock Aquino down, he doesn't want to hurt himself if he doesn't want to fight the snake, then it's not good.

This is also the reason why he has always been hesitant to cooperate with the Taiping Army, and now, someone has helped him make a decision, and he has not been able to think about it anymore.

Maybe that's still a good thing for him.

At this time, when he saw Aquino asking his opinion, he hurriedly took two steps forward, bowed his body to a certain distance, and said in an extremely humble tone: "Your Majesty, your subordinates must unswervingly support the wise decision you have made, and if you can't stick to it, your subordinates will also command the Praetorian Guards to defend the city of the Four Elephants to the death, so that the Taiping army will not dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step." ”

Octagon's words were quite decent, and the tone was moderate, and the loyalty in the words was very useful to the listeners, not to mention Aquino, even the other two people in the column, hearing this, they couldn't help nodding frequently.

As a minister, you should be like this, be loyal to the king, love the king, and use all your thoughts on the king.

Of course, Aquino's words were also very useful, although he knew that the credibility of these words was doubtful, but it was certainly good to be able to make his body and mind comfortable for a short time at this tense moment.

"The loyalty of the octagonal general, I know it very well, but although we have the heart to defend, the strength of the Taiping army is really strong, and I really don't have the confidence to defend this wolf's den." Aquino narrowed his eyes and smiled at Octagon.

Aquino's words sounded like true and false, and what he said was a bit cloudy, and he was stunned when he heard it, he didn't know what Aquino meant by this, what did Aquino want to express?

Octagon's brain spun rapidly, analyzing what Aquino meant when he said this.

At the same time, Octagon also extended the topic outward with Aquino's words, only to hear him say loudly: "Your Majesty, there are four elephant cities on all sides of the wolf's den, and the Taiping army has millions of soldiers, so it can only be in vain, and in the upper city of the four elephants, there is the king's personal army guard, which has always been called the world's first elite army guarded by the Praetorian Guard, if the Taiping army wants to break the city, I am afraid it will be very difficult, and in the wolf's den, food, grass and ordnance and other war materials are readily available, which also lays a solid foundation for the stubborn defense, so, I swear to support the king's holy will to the death, and repay with my life. ”

is a generous statement, and it makes people get goosebumps all over their bodies.

I have to say that this octagonal mouth is still quite able to speak, and he also knows how to see the wind and steer, and he is definitely a wonderful person who knows people and is good at meeting them, and it is no wonder that he can be like a fish in water in this Nanyang country when he is deeply suspicious of Aquino, because he has such conditions.

In a word, Octagonal is not Wuxia Ameng, but he is a clever person.

"Well, General Octagon's words are very reasonable, but, apart from stubbornly defending, Octagon, do you have any other good strategy?" Aquino smiled and nodded, and continued.

Although Octagon's words are good to say, and they are very useful to listen to, the key is that if you say it, you don't want to say it, Aquino doesn't want to listen to the established strategy now, he wants to hear different opinions.

"Well, this, this subordinate hasn't thought about it yet." The anise was red twice, a little embarrassed.

What good way can he have, even if there is a good way, can he say it now, he is no longer Aquino's subordinate, he is the internal response of Ma Bang and the Taiping Army, his purpose is to kill Aquino, can he help Aquino, and, at this time, his idea, Aquino may not necessarily believe it, he has to find a suitable opportunity to speak out again, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

"Oh, that, that, think again." Aquino said with some disappointment.

It seems that Aquino is really waiting for Octagon to give him an idea.

As soon as he said this, he waved his hand and motioned for Octagonal to stand down.

So, Octagon retreated.

And after Octagonal spoke, in this hall, the only one who did not speak was the flower of the South Seas, Indira, and it must be her turn to listen to what she had to say. (To be continued......)
