Chapter 62: Lion Cub
Ron's words were very explicit, he did not hide his desires and thoughts at all, as he said, the position of the Duke of Winton has no real benefits, the military power in the hands of the Duke of Winton is the most valuable asset, if you want to complete the journey to dominate the world, only the Seventh Legion cannot support your ambitions.
These words may sound very perverse to outsiders, but Yazov very calmly accepted Ron's opinion, Ron is a fanatical power seeker, can do anything crazy to achieve his own goals, those military glory, the ethics of father and son, these things used to bind ordinary people, Ron simply does not care.
Yazov believes that in the current troubled times, only an unscrupulous tyrant like Ron can sweep away anyone who ascends to the throne.
"The most serious problem before me now is that I am mature enough, and my father still refuses to grow old, so it is easy to create conflicts. Ron sighed softly, holding his face helplessly.
"The older you get, the more you like to be greedy for power and refuse to let go, and I have heard that the Duke's health is deteriorating, and that he has made frequent mistakes in commanding battles, and it seems that the day when you will be in power is not too far away. Yazov remembered something and narrowed his eyes.
"My father is now in the prime of life, and I will have to wait at least another twelve years for him to retire normally," Ron said with a blank face, "When I have accumulated enough strength to fight the enemy he is fighting now, and can withstand the pressure he is under now, then I will be able to ask my father to return to the Imperial City to retire at that time." ”
Is this a lion cub that shows its fangs to its father when it becomes an adult?
The competition in the lion pack is extremely fierce, when the lion cub grows strong enough, it will challenge its father lion king for dominance, the defeated will lose the right to rule and be driven out of the lion group, and some lion kings will choose to kill the lion cub or drive it out of their own group when they are minors.
The lion's bloodline continues to the Capetian family, and as a descendant of the Lionheart, Ron has completely inherited the ruthlessness and iron blood from the lion, even in the face of his own father, he will not be relentless.
"I would like to report to you that just now a convoy of horses led by the air ferry entered the city, and their leader claimed that he had been plundered and wanted to see you. It was only then that Yazov remembered the members of the Ziluo family who were standing in the wind.
"People from the Ziluo family, right?" Ron said in a relaxed tone as if he had known about it for a long time.
"How do you know ......?" Yazov paused for a moment, and then, as if thinking of something, suddenly realized, "Is it the Ranger's report?"
Ron took a deep breath, as if controlling his emotions.
He's angry, the adults are angry, it's rare for an adult to show such an expression, could it be that the adult is angry because of what happened to the Ziluo family, I heard that the ancestors of the Ziluo family had funded the Capet family, and I didn't think that Lord Ron was still a person who missed the old love.
But in the next second, Yazov knew that he was wrong.
"These fools of the Ziluo family, I have been eyeing them for a long time, and I originally planned to raid them before they entered the city, but who knew that someone else would attack us before us! When the rangers who had already disguised themselves as thieves rushed over, they only saw the body of Ziluo's stupid man, and all the property was looted!" Ron gritted his teeth and scolded, deeply annoyed that he had not robbed Baron Ziluo.
If Baron Ziluo has a spirit underground, and Ron, who knows that he has come to take refuge with joy, is worried about his property like Rand, and has made plundering plans one after another, I don't know if he will be angry and cheat the corpse?
The rumors are really not wrong, in the blood of the Capetian family, the desire to plunder seems to be innate.
"The only person who can mobilize cavalry to plunder the convoy between Lindong City and the Sky Crossing Territory is my good brother!" Ron closed his eyes, "His movements are indeed fast and decisive enough. ”
"Ziluo died, not because of his own greed, but because of the greed of my good brother! Greed is a normal emotion, and people's desire for treasure never wanes, but according to the original plan, he will die from my greed. Ron explained, thinking of Rand who was far away in the air realm, he raised an eyebrow: "Judging from this matter, my younger brother's style is really becoming more and more like his father." ”
"Do you want to do something?" Yazov squinted, the murderous intact in his words.
"Don't be nervous, the contradictions between us haven't reached the point of fighting to the death, and after all, we are brothers, even if we meet in the future, if he is defeated, I will give him a piece of land for his retirement. Blood is thicker than water, isn't it?" Ron said with a grin as he opened his eyes.
But Yazov saw a hidden chill in Ron's eyes, even his own father dared to calculate Ron, Yazov found it hard to believe that he would restrain his hands and feet because of something like blood and kinship, although Ron's words were very beautiful, but Yazov believed that when the day came when the sword soldiers met, Ron would never be soft on Rand.
Because Yazov knew that Ron and himself were the same kind of people, and would not let go of anyone who dared to stand up to him, even if it was his own brother.
It is precisely because of this iron blood that Ron's dominance cannot be shaken.
"Prepare for the Rangers to go, there are a large number of nobles in the Empty Ferry Territory moving to Lindong City, and you must bring back their possessions to me before the Rand!" Ron took a deep breath and stood up: "I'm tired, by tomorrow night, I want to see a box full of silver coins in front of me." ”
"Yes, my lord!" said Yazov, hanging the Vadya steel sword next to his side, and said in a deep voice.
The Ziluo family convoy outside the window seemed to have been deliberately forgotten, and Ron didn't mention how to place them at all.
"Lord Ron has made his attitude clear. Yazov thought.
If Baron Ziluo's wealth was plundered by Ron, perhaps Ron would give them a place to live out of sympathy, but Ron didn't get any benefit from them at all, so he had no intention of making a big deal.
"My lord, they are still waiting for your reply. As soon as Yazov walked out of the palace, the guard came up and asked.
"Lord Ron heard about your plight and expressed deep sympathy, but ......" Yazov looked at the soldiers of the Ziluo family in the cold wind, and a wicked smile appeared on his face: "Gentlemen, I regret to tell you that there is no surplus food in Lindong City to feed you, so please leave before noon!"
"Otherwise, we will use force to drive you away. ”
