Chapter 33: The Best Shortcut

Women are born experts at acting, and Augustus has always maintained an attitude of approval for this. Whether it is Ash with the belief of "one tribe, one people, one Ferreljord" or Princess Lisandro with the ambition of "unifying Ferreljord", whether they are smart or simple-minded women, they are all natural actors.

If a man does not maintain a rational and calm attitude towards them, it will become a stepping stone for them to reach the pinnacle of power. For Ash, who was already on the verge of madness, and in the face of Lisandro, who could show her unclean fangs at any moment, Augustus had always maintained a pious and cautious, even walking on thin ice, emotion and reason.

Although he does not recognize Lisandro's leadership skills, he maintains trust and vigilance in Lisandro's wisdom and skill. Even in the face of an old man like Burnham, who had dominated politics for half a century, Augustus believed that what Lisandro lacked was only the experience that needed to be accumulated over the years, not wisdom.

Trust? For these two scornful words, Augustus never hid his disdain! After spending half a year with the cunning and intelligent conspirator Lisandro, Augustus understood at least one truth, Lisandro is the same kind of person as himself, and will never trust anyone, not even his husband! Once there is any benefit worthy of his betrayal, then Augustus believes that Lisandro will never hesitate, and even cut off his head with a bright smile, of course, in Lisandro's heart, why is Augustus like this?

Two conspirators in the field of Ferreljord cooperate with each other, use each other, and fear each other! It's just that when the fangs under that smile and kind smile are revealed, it depends on whether there is a benefit worthy of them showing their fangs.

"Lisandro, Ash, Sejuani, no matter who becomes the master of the permafrost tundra and the master of Ferreljord, I, Augustus, am the indelible protagonists!" From the top of the hill looking down, Augustus' face was filled with a bright smile, just as he had said six years ago in the city of Alders: I see me conquer!

Dressed in very cool clothes, the elegant and noble Lisandro appeared in front of the barbarian warriors such as Umeng Tuoba in heavy armor. Lisandro was a natural orator, and her verbal skills were no match even for ten Ashikas. After a few words, Umeng Tuoba and the others showed kindness and respect for this noble woman.

Of course, this is just under the premise that the two parties have not discussed their interests, and in the face of interests, all the friendliness and respect are just like the chastity of the girl, once the gold coin is scattered, it can be broken at any time.

――――

Lisandro, who has a very strong desire to lead, will never allow Augustus to interfere in the affairs of the ascetic tribe, Augustus knows this very well, so he is very knowledgeable, and when Lisandra and Umon Tuoba and others are talking happily, Augustus leaves with a smile on Huo Nan and Alista. Leaving Wumeng Tuoba and the others with a puzzling but unfathomable back.

After all, the earth-shattering kiss between Augustus and Lisandro just now was firmly in their minds.

Huo Nan, who was in awe of Augustus and was more than close to him along the way, spoke freely, and said with a smile: "Young Master Augustus, maybe you can get Ferreljord in a very simple way!" ”

Augustus smiled and glanced at Huo Nan, who had a treacherous smile on his face, and said unceremoniously and sneeringly: "Oh, the devout disciples who believe in the Equilibrium Sect have even begun to care about the war. ”

Huo Nan, who had long been accustomed to Augustus's harsh words, smiled slightly, didn't care, and laughed softly: "The leaders of the Winter Claw Tribe, the Ice Archer Tribe, and the Dervishes Tribe, these three tribe leaders are all powerful and beautiful women!" Therefore, as long as Master Augustus show your powerful charm and conquer these three great women of the permafrost tundra. Isn't that the same as conquering Ferreljord? This way of conquering is much, much easier than the others! ”

Augustus was stunned for a moment, silent for a while, and even thought about this question very seriously, after a while. Augustus shook his head firmly and said, "This is indeed a simple and convenient method, but it has no credibility!" Not to mention Princess Ash and Princess Sejuani of the Ice Shooter Tribe, even Princess Lisandra of the Ascetic Tribe in front of me is not something I can easily conquer. And there are too many interests between peoples involved, so conquest is simply a fantasy! But your words remind me that conquest is not just about war. Maybe I'll need a little trick! ”

Huo Nan was slightly stunned, originally this was just his own words to tease Augustus, but he didn't expect Augustus to think so seriously about the feasibility of this teasing speech, and looking at the gentle and bright smile on the corner of Augustus's mouth, it seemed that this Noxian knight had come up with something very useful.

However, Huo Nan was not ready to continue to inquire, he and Augustus had a good relationship but it was only good, once it involved confidential issues or interests, then he had no doubt that Augustus would point the butcher's knife at him in the next moment, and even cut off his head.

Looking at the Knights getting closer and closer, Augustus didn't show much of a smile on his face, but whispered, "Maybe I should go back to Noxus early!" ”

――――

"Your Royal Highness Princess Lisandro, we barbarian warriors are very willing to help the ascetic tribe seize the sovereignty of the permafrost tundra and help Princess Lisandro unify your Ferreljord, but what benefit can we barbarians get from you? Forgive me for my reckless words, but this is a word that must be made clear, otherwise how can we unite without the distribution of benefits? Umeng Tuoba smiled at Lisandro, his face was extremely sincere, but his words were the common words of a politician.

If Augustus would not have revealed any doubts about Umeng Tuoba's words, this is the essence of Umeng Tuoba's sincere teacher, otherwise how could Taidamir, the king of the barbarians, send Umeng Tuoba to Permafrost Taiyuan? An emissary who cannot bring any benefit to the barbarians is not the hope of the king of the barbarians.

Lisandro did not show a trace of disgust as Umeng Tuoba had imagined, and behaved very elegantly, naturally, and impeccably. Umeng Tuoba couldn't help but admire in his heart, she really deserved to be Princess Lisandro who could go hand in hand with Princess Sejuani and Princess Ash.

"Of course! Cooperation without interest is rife with rifts and betrayals. This is not what we ascetic tribes want to see, nor are we barbarians willing to see. It's just that there is no cooperation in line with their respective interests, and this cooperation is also full of rifts and betrayals? Warrior of Umeng Tuoba from the Barbarians, please make your request? Dressed in a blue and white dress, Lisandro, who was full of cold, noble, and elegant temperament between her eyebrows, simply and directly threw the question to Umeng Tuoba again.

It's just that this time the question is too sharp and profound. Umeng Tuoba had already seen the sincerity of cooperation in Lisandro's words, and whether the cooperation could succeed depended on whether the interests of the ascetic tribe represented by Lisandro were not in conflict or contradiction with the interests of the barbarians.

"What a smart woman!" Umun Tuoba did not hesitate to express his heartfelt praise for Lisandro's intelligence and reason. For the Barbarians, a smart partner can help the Barbarians reduce many unnecessary difficulties, but what if it is too smart? But it has also become a stumbling block blocking the direction of the barbarians. Wumeng Tuoba knew this very well in his heart, but he did not move on the surface, with a slightly honest smile on his face, and replied simply and directly: "The barbarians promised to send troops to help the dervishes unify the Freeljord, but our barbarians hope that the ascetic tribe will open up the trade between the barbarians and the Freeljord, and help our barbarians improve their economy and living standards, after all, no nation wants to live a hard and poor life!" ”

Lisandro smiled. A pair of light and slender hands held the mountain stone that was still bubbling cold, and looked at Umeng Tuoba with a smile in his eyes, and in an instant, Umeng Tuoba suddenly had the illusion that his soul had been seen through.

"The barbarians rely on the Demacian Empire, and they can naturally trade with the Noxian Empire where Fereljord is bordered, so that naturally the barbarians can grow rapidly, both economically and forcefully, it seems that I want to congratulate you, you barbarians have a great barbarian king!" Lisandro bowed slightly, congratulating.

Umeng Tuoba smiled slightly. There was no emotion on his face, his eyes were calm and clear, and he said, "This is the only request of our barbarians, as long as Princess Lisandro is unified." The barbarians should do everything in their power to help Princess Lisandro take down Ferreljord! ”

After a brief greeting, he got to the point, and the words stopped here. Both Lisandro and Umeng Tuoba knew that the conversation at this moment was just to reveal the interests of both parties, and as for whether cooperation could be reached, it could only depend on whether the interests of the ascetic tribe and the interests of the barbarians would be incompatible, if the answer was no. Then there is a possibility that this cooperation will be discussed.

Lisandro and Umeng Tuoba coincidentally applied their words to other aspects, talking about many small things about the current situation of the ascetic tribe and the situation of the barbarian tribe, which seemed to be inconspicuous but had a certain value for cooperation.

Half an hour later, Lisandro and her people prepared to leave. At this time, Umun Tuoba said meaningfully: "Princess Lisandro, there is something I think I should need to tell you! We had a night of pause with Mr. Augustus in the Ice Shooter Tribe! At that time, it was Mr. Augustus who took the initiative to visit the state guesthouse of the Ice Shooter Tribe! ”

Lisandro's delicate body paused slightly, turned around and squeezed out a bright smile, smiled at Umeng Tuoba and nodded, and said, "Thank you Mr. Umeng for reminding me, I wrote it down!" ”

Immediately, Lisandro spun around and left.

With a very respectful smile on his face, Umeng Tuoba half-bent over, greeted Lisandro with the extremely heavy etiquette of a barbarian.

Just looking at Lisandro's fading back, the corners of Umeng Tuoba's mouth hooked up a treacherous smile that did not fit his honest face.

At this moment, Umeng Tuoba is extremely interested in being an excellent politician!

Chopin Morgan, a famous Ionian politician known as the birthplace of politicians on the Valoran continent, once said: Honest, sincere, sincere, sincere, all good emotions are just masks to cover the faces of our politicians, but how many people can see through the faces under our masks? That's why many politicians are so good!
