I quietly looked at the white jade teacup pinched by my fingertips, and said lightly: "When the citizens of a country have great human rights, the country is not far from extinction, but when the citizens of a country have no human rights, the country is closer to the time of destruction." ”

Putting down the teacup, I looked at the little red fish, who was also looking at me, with a strange light flashing in his bright eyes.

Xiao Hongyu said: "The strength and foundation of this country cannot be subverted by a group of poor people. ”

"That's the power you don't know the poor, they are like weeds, they can't be trampled on, they can't burn, everywhere the spring breeze goes, there are footprints they have walked, they can endure, they are strong, they have never been obscure, as long as they can have a hungry stomach, clothes to wear, and a house to live in, they can be satisfied, but once someone deprives them of the environment on which they live, they will resist, do everything to resist, they can be unknown weeds, or they can be fierce and unrelenting waves."

Restraining my tone and easing my emotions, I asked, "I wonder how much you know about the history of the mainland?" ”

Little Red Fish said: "Those who are after the legendary heroes know, and those who are before the legendary heroes also know some." ”

When I heard this, I was stunned, and then I exclaimed: "Oh, he is still a learned person who knows the past and the present. ”

His colorful face, slightly hot, said, "Praise falsely." ”

"Since I am familiar with the ancient and modern, I will say it bluntly, before the legendary hero family divided the continent, there were hundreds of countries large and small in the Zephyr Continent, so I want to ask you, among the first generation of monarchs who established these countries, how many were born nobles? How many people were born in poverty, and they have achieved a country's hegemony by working their own? ”

Xiao Hongyu recalled for a moment and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but it was born in troubled times at that time, and there was an opportunity to take advantage of it. ”

I smiled and said disapprerovingly: "Troubled times are not difficult? According to the current situation changes, war will break out sooner or later, but it is just a difference between one day earlier and one day later. ”

Little Red Fish smiled and said, "Listening to you, it seems that I am looking forward to the war." ”

"I don't expect it, it's just an objective fact, but are you really willing to settle for the status quo?"

He pursed his lips and smiled, "I don't understand what you said." ”

"I'm pretending to be stupid again," I laughed, "Do you think I can climb to my current position at the age of a weak crown, just because I have Master Dewey as my backstage?" ”

Little Red Fish's eyes flickered, revealing a dangerous light, he raised his voice and said slowly: "Then may I ask, what else is the reason?" ”

"And my vision, and the ability to read words and colors, the moment you invited Carter Horton into the room, I saw anger and murder from the depths of your eyes, although it was only a fleeting moment, but it really existed, that is to say, the reason why you dressed yourself up as a demon is also an act of enduring humiliation, you are waiting, waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to release your anger, slash the enemy, and not affect others, am I right?"

A flash of surprise flashed, and Xiao Hongyu's face did not change again, and said: "I am just a businessman now, relying on the alms of His Majesty the City Lord to live in peace, how can I have such a rebellious heart?" ”

I shook my head and said lightly: "If you want to wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky, and it is even more difficult to make a person who is pretending to be stupid open his heart. ”

"Please."

"If you want to disguise your appearance, it's very simple, you can wear a mask, but if you want to hide your heart, it's very difficult, don't miss the opportunity because you look ahead."

Little Redfish smiled, a little embarrassed.

Carter Houghton's messenger arrived on the fifth day, bringing me a map and three passages.

The map is a public area on the border of the three countries, and a red dot is marked on the left side of this area.

Then the messenger told me that your Majesty had said that this was a barren plain, and that the Knights of the Round Table would be stationed here in the afternoon in three days' time; I hope you can go back as soon as possible to resolve the misunderstanding and avoid the conflict between Vicky Castle and Eri City; Please take care of Rodney.

"Sure enough, it's an old fox," I grinned, folding the map a few times and tucking it into my arms.

If you want to use Rodney's relationship with me to play the family card, you really think highly of me, I am not so noble, even if Rodney and I are irreversible, when it is time to do something to you, I will still not be soft.

I won't joke with my family's life because of a moment of intolerance.

When I left the custom shop, I didn't say hello to the little red fish, just put five gold coins on the counter and left.

The accommodation fee for the custom shop here is only 30 copper coins a night, and it is only worth one silver coin and 50 copper coins for five days, but I still paid five gold coins, and I didn't ask for change, just told the front desk to be sure to report the amount of gold coins to the little red fish.

The reason why this is the case is that I have my own calculations, one is to tell the little red fish that your value is much higher than the current business, and you should not bury yourself like a copper coin, and the other is to tell him that if you still choose to live in seclusion, this money will be regarded as the buyout money of your friendship with me, and one day in the future, when we invade Eri City and massacre, you and I don't need to show mercy.

I don't know, and I can't guess what the little red fish will choose, just as I can't guess Cecil and Tachibana.

But these are not important, a few more of them, at most a little more certainty, less of them, it has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The most important thing at the moment is to bring the letter back to Moonlight City, gather forces, and help Godot get revenge.

Less than two kilometers out of Ari City, I saw a scene that shocked me.

Hundreds of thousands of people, lined up in columns, densely occupied the entire plain.

Half of them were short in size, but their limbs were thick and strong, and their war hammers, battle axes, and sharp swords glowed with cold light, and a fierce momentum that was integrated into one exuded invisibly.

The other half is an orc clan of different heights, short, fat and thin, and the weapons in their hands are also varied, but they all have hideous faces, and they are all battlefield generals and unrivaled warriors.

As soon as I was excited, I couldn't help but secretly say: Are these people here to attack the city?

In the distance, I heard the rough voice of the steel hammer chief shouting: "Look, it's Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi is still alive!" ”

I was suddenly embarrassed, what does it mean that I am still alive, am I living well!

Although I had a complaint in my heart, my feet could no longer hold back the excitement in my heart, and I ran over quickly.

First, he hugged President Olli and Chairman Hammer who were rushing towards him, and then said hello to the old duke who walked slowly.

After the warm greetings, I wondered, "Are you here to attack the city?" ”

"Almost" the old duke put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "If you come out two days later, I'm afraid this Eri City will be lost." ”
