Chapter 319: Rox's Plan
"House Gus?" About a quarter of an hour later, on the cherry wood sofa in the living room of the manor, Svein squinted half-leaning on the table and chair, "All this was deduced by that little widow in Morondo?" ”
"Pay attention to your words, old fellow......" Rox glanced at the other party: "How old are you, and you still look like a ruffian before when you say something." ”
"Cut, labor and management have always been like this, I haven't seen you dislike labor and management before? Now it looks like you've been stepped on by your tail, what's wrong? Is it interesting to the widow? ”
"Shut up!!" Rox's face turned red, he looked at the stunned gallon next to him, and coughed lightly, "What do you think of her statement?" ”
"It's a big hole..... Svein said leisurely as he sipped his tea, "but it's not impossible..... Do you remember the king's last battle? In the end, before the king confronted the chief of the Hammer of Destruction, he was attacked by the Assassins in the House of Guth. ”
Your Majesty, under attack? Which king? The gallon next to him was stunned, and he thought of it in a daze.
And when he heard this, Rox's face suddenly became gloomy, he naturally knew which king the other party was talking about, in the eyes of this guy, he would not regard the straw bale emperor in his seat as the king!
Rox: "I'll tell you the truth, even if I suspected that there was an inner ghost, I never thought it would be the Gus family, that family ......"
The Gus family?
Glen looked confused at this time, but he didn't expect to think that he was accompanying Rox to relax, but he heard one secret after another that made his jaw drop.
The former marshal of the empire, a generation of military gods and ghost foxes is still alive and the emperor, and the emperor who is known as the emperor with the most military achievements in all dynasties except for the second generation of Emperor Wu actually died of murder? The most important thing is that the object of suspicion of the two bigwigs is still the Gus family!
The Gus family, the prime ministers of the past generations, this is crazy, right?
"I was actually suspicious at the beginning..... Svein sighed, "Because of the genetic disease, the children of the Gus family are very fragile, and it is difficult for them to practice martial arts and become a mage, so in terms of intelligence and order control, this family is the best of all the families in the empire.... can assassinate the king within the Gus family, and after that, I can't find the slightest clue, except for the cooperation of the Gus family, to be honest, I really can't find a second reason...."
Rox bowed his head when he heard this, the other party was right, because of genetic diseases, the Gus family could not cultivate illegitimate children as private forces like other nobles, all the forces were hired outsiders, in order to ensure safety, this family did a very strict job in order and intelligence.
He was able to plan such an assassination operation within the Gus family, and he didn't miss anything afterwards, he didn't suspect it at the time....
But......
"If you were suspicious, why didn't you say it in the first place?" Rox asked with a frown.
"I can't think of a motive," Svein sighed and refilled a cup .....of black tea for the other party and said quietly: "In the empire, there is no family that can be more honored than them, a family that has not been able to produce knights and mages for thousands of years, can be glorified for so long, in exchange for which force has given them so many benefits?" ”
Hearing this, Rox nodded, in this world, it is difficult for the family of pure Wenchen to last long, after all, this is an extraordinary world, in the countries of the Western Islands, no matter how high your political talent is, if there is no archmage in the family, it is basically difficult to get ahead, this example of the Gus family can be described as a miracle, even in the Gangwu Empire, there will never be a second case....
In this case, what kind of interests would make them betray the Empire?
Svein pointed to the map and said: "That little widow's speculation is a big picture, the contradiction is that the Gus family is not a superplayer, they don't have this ability, a family without a strong man, it is impossible to dominate other ambitious partners, but if they are not the leader, then what's the point of betrayal?" In the empire, their family status is already high enough, if they don't reach the top, what else can they pursue under people? ”
Rox bowed his head silently when he heard this, if it was before, he might be able to be persuaded by the other party's words, but now.....
"What if.... Can someone solve the inherited disease of the Gus family? ”
"What?" When Svein heard this, he was shocked, and almost subconsciously denied: "How is it possible? ”
Each generation of the Gus family would invest a lot of money in those alchemists, just to find a solution to their bloodline diseases, and even generations of guardians of the Tower of Mysteries had personally studied their family's diseases, but they could not find a solution.
This is something that the world recognizes as unsolvable.
"It's not impossible for an organization that can bring dead heroes back to life to work for it....." Rox said quietly.
Svein was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've heard that you are going to ask someone to open the coffin of the Tower of Glory, you really dare to think of it....."
"You don't believe me either?" Rox looked at the other and said.
"It seems that you are serious....." Svein sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, if you don't say this, I might just use a stick to drive people away!" ”
"But if you follow my guess, isn't the logic all the same?" Rox said quietly.
Svein was silent for a moment.
Indeed, if there is any interest that can make the Gus family turn against the water, it is a very important motive to solve his family's bloodline disease.....
With the huge wealth of their family, if this disease can be solved, how many excellent knights and mages can't be cultivated?
After all, who wants to be ordinary all the time to become an extraordinary family?
"You came to me just because I agree with your crazy point of view?" Svein wondered.
"I'm here to consult .....," Rox said, pointing to the cities on the map, "If this crazy conjecture is true, how do you think we can get out of the current predicament?" ”
"It's hard to ....." Svein looked at the map and shook his head: "Once this kind of encirclement is attacked, with the strength of the imperial capital, it will be difficult to drag the border army back to help, and if you want to win, you can only transfer the border army in advance......"
When he said this, Svein paused for a moment, then looked at the other party and said, "You guy, you came here today to pull me into the water?" ”
"I can't help it....." Rox muttered wryly, "It's up to you, old man!" In this empire, you don't need to say that you can move the border army, except for me, you are the only one....."
"The point is, how many days can you last?"
"Ten days...... Rox smiled bitterly, "If you start to get into trouble, ten days at most!" ”
"Ten days?" Svein glanced at the other party and said, "In ten days, the border army can't even catch up with half the distance.....
"No way......" Rox smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Even Red Dragon City is under the control of the other party, I am optimistic for ten days, and then I will talk about it....." Speaking of this, he said seriously: "Everything depends on you, old man, if I can't hold it up at that time, you are the only one who can save the empire from falling under the shadow stream forces!!"
