The big accident of the entire manor caused Alan to possess the ghost for an hour before returning to the locked underground passage above.

"I can't believe it's an abandoned manor."

The area of the manor really surprised Allen, who had already opened his eyes, his eyes unconsciously widened slightly, and he let out such an emotion.

Subsequently, Alan told Zhou what he had seen and heard one by one. Among them, what made Zhou Zhenshu feel incredible was that the owner of this manor turned out to be the Rosemary family. And this abandoned manor is obviously a dispensable property for this huge family. Otherwise, they will not leave people behind.

"It's almost night, my lord. Tonight or tomorrow morning? ”

Zhou Xuanshu thought about it and decided to search carefully tomorrow morning. As for tonight, he wasn't going to let go of this clue, so he asked Alan to take advantage of the time to eat and set up the ghost to be monitored. So that as soon as there is a stir here, they will know immediately.

After dinner, Zhou and the two casually found a hotel to stay.

"How's your work during the day? Have you found information about the rosemary family? ”

Speaking of this, Alan felt a little unlucky. The Rosemary family was so disgusted that no one dared to talk about it openly, whether it was the clubhouse or the salon. Even the most squishy children of the main city of Pednora are silent on this issue, but they are still silent.

Of course, Allen's questioning is all skillful. Most of them are side knocks, and in a circle, I have only asked once. He knows what kind of virtue this group of nobles is, although some of them are prodigal on the surface, but they are good in their bones!

"So, during the day today, Alan, you didn't get anything?"

Zhou Xuan gathered the flames in the lampshade and asked helplessly. Originally, according to what he knew about Allen, he would definitely use the 'puppet law' as interrogation and control magic. Unexpectedly, today's results on Allen's side were not as good as his side.

"Who told the adults to call so urgently, I was about to use magic methods, but I received a communication from you."

Just as Alan complained, the ghost that had been placed in the abandoned manor in advance sent a feedback from the communication stone on his body. This indicates that there is someone in the manor, and the ghost will actively trigger the communication.

"My lord, there is a situation on the other side of the manor!"

After informing Zhou of the injury, Alan casually opened the communication stone. Looking at the picture transmitted by the communication stone, the two couldn't help but lift their spirits.

"Head, what is the task of calling everyone here today?"

In a study room on the manor, there are five people. Although they were all different in height, shortness, fat and thinness, today they were all called in standard outfits. That's right, it's white gloves, black suits, a top hat and a pure white mask that covers half of their face.

"Us, you are also the old man of the organization, remember the rules of the organization, this is the last reminder!"

The leader with the tie glanced at the guy on the left, codenamed Uster, who was a little impatient, and issued a warning.

"Boss, it's Ustai! He doesn't like to be called by the wrong name. ”

I don't know whether it was obvious or unintentional, Boritt, who was standing opposite the man in the lead, corrected on this meaningless matter.

Seeing that the quarrel was about to start, the leader took out the rosemary in his breast pocket and began to twist it lightly in his hand. Looking at the leader's action, the two 'thorns' who were supposed to quarrel without accident became obedient.

'Falling and dying' is the rule of royal spies. This rule is true not only for the enemy, but also for one's own people.

When the study was quiet again, the leader carefully inserted the rosemary into his breast pocket under the notes of the other four pairs of eyes. And in a deep voice, he began to lay out the task.

"For the good of the kingdom, we must cooperate with the hummingbird and let it gain the trust of those damned barbarians."

After scanning the members present with sharp eyes, the leader said solemnly: "This time, in addition to cooperating with the hummingbird to transfer grain on the surface, we also have to pay attention to another batch of grain secretly transported. This task concerns the overall situation of the human and barbarian races, and you must be careful and attentive. ”

A hotel in the civilian area of Xicheng far away, Zhou Xuan, who had been monitoring the manor's study through the contact stone that had been handled, let out a few disdainful sounds.

Looking at Allen's face full of curiosity, Zhou Zhishu explained: "This bureaucratic faction, don't blame that gang of action team members for stabbing them." If you really have the ability, will you threaten people with your identity? ”

"And, the plan really sucks. Some grain was shipped out on the surface, and some grain was brought back from other places secretly. Tut-tut! ”

Alan thought that this plan was good, and he could cooperate with the main army to fight the barbarians by surprise. Moreover, how could the barbarians think that the Terrans would take the initiative to use a main city as bait?

Zhou Zhenshu looked at Allen's expression and roughly knew what he thought. The main reason why I am not interested in this plan is that it is too risky. Now in terms of military strength between the two tribes, the barbarians have a slight advantage. But in such cases, it is even more important to use stratagem and take risks. Doing so is not only an accident, but also a waste of all your efforts. The main thing is that this mentality of winning by stratagem is unacceptable.

Especially in this situation where your own side is slightly weaker and the enemy is slightly stronger. This mentality of relying on stratagem ultimately does more harm than good. This is not the conjecture and paranoia of Zhou Zhanju, but the lesson of his predecessors.

This mentality is similar to the Spring and Autumn Period, when countries began to build the Great Wall. Although I was at peace for a short time, I planted a negative seed in the hearts of future generations: 'If the wall keeps the enemy out, the enemy will not be able to fight me'.

Coupled with the exchange of interests such as compromise between Chinese courtiers in most dynasties, the entire nation fell into a vicious circle of self-castration and blood.

What's worse is that coupled with the selfish idea of 'I will take the benefits, send you to death' accumulated by hammer forging countless dynasties, it made the entire nation miss the Age of Discovery.

At this time, in the preparation for the war between the Terrans and the Barbarians, the Terrans lost to the Barbarians in terms of morale, whether from the top or the bottom. Cold weapons combat is morale. With the same force, whoever is cowardly will be finished. It's not absolute, but nine out of nine.

If Zhou Xuanjiao is the decision-maker, he will definitely not focus on conspiracy, but choose a point-to-point conspiracy to bring back the combat confidence of the Terran army from a small-scale battle. As for the conspiracy, Zhou will not give up completely, but the timing of its use will definitely not be before the war.

Only by letting the people see the determination of the leader and the belief in the victory of the army will not lead to the easy collapse of logistics, economy, people's livelihood and other aspects as the war becomes protracted.

When the two powers meet, as long as they don't call people into dogs in the early stage of the war, no one can say for sure what the final direction of the war will be. Now, the top brass of this kingdom are simply stupidly trading the future for the present. This is also the main reason why Zhou Zhan is disdainful and disdainful.
