Chapter 210: Everyone has a small abacus
His Excellency Tal has no high opinion, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Mander spoke slowly.
"I don't think it's a long-term solution to this kind of sprawl after all. It is better to take advantage of the opportunity of the envoy being accidentally let go by Buck's men this time, and consider making peace with the envoy......"
Talos's tone was firm, and his grim face, which rarely showed emotion or change in expression, showed an extremely serious appearance.
It can be seen that this is not just something he said casually.
Rather, it was serious, and after some careful consideration, the final decision was made.
"No way!"
Before Talos could speak, the opposition in the conference room burst out.
"This battle does not represent us personally, but the ability and face of the entire Yeren clan, how can we give in so easily!"
For a while, several people spoke one after another, resolutely rejecting Talos's proposal for peace.
"That's right, it's not like this battle can't be won. Since it can't be broken in one fell swoop, let's continue to fight a protracted war, even if the current military supplies are insufficient, but it is not enough to fight the demon envoy. ”
At the meeting, several families with the same opinion quickly formed a party and vigorously refuted it.
"Could it be that for you, what needs to be defended in the war is just the face of the Yeren clan?" Suddenly, he asked in a voice that was almost like a low roar.
One sentence came out, and everyone wanted to refute one or two, but suddenly they didn't know what to say.
What is the meaning of war?
No one has thought about this for a long time, and no one even cares about it.
If the wars of the previous generation began, it was for the struggle for territory and sovereignty.
What about today? The situation between the two sides has long been stabilized, they are accustomed to each other, and their current way of life has stabilized, and there is no need to quarrel over the division of regions.
In that case, what is the so-called war?
It's just a mouthful in my heart, unwilling to be defeated in the past.
It's just that no one mentions these words, and these most real reasons are also being gradually forgotten.
"All of you here are from famous families, and no matter in the past or now, everyone has only paid for this war with military supplies and so-called troops. The only people who have been affected and displaced by the war are ordinary people living in the cities. ”
Talos's words silenced everyone present.
The voice of opposition that was so radical before is now silenced by this remark.
At this time, Mande, who was sitting on the main seat, did not say a word during the whole process. Regardless of his opposition or Talos's analysis of the pros and cons of the truce, Mande acted as if he were watching a play, not intervening or participating.
He just sat quietly in his seat, his gaze sweeping over Talos's body like a blade.
A little bit, an inch by an inch......
For the person in front of him, who was originally appointed by himself to take over the Senate, now he is a little unable to see through.
Perhaps others don't know much about the power of the so-called "Ancestors", but the reason why the Mande clan has been able to stand out from many families and lead the Senate for several generations.
It doesn't rely on family power, let alone brute force.
It's the power of the bloodline, the "ancestor......
That's right, the Mande clan has also had children who have inherited the power of the "Ancestor". And since then, they have relied on this kind of treacherous power, step by step to a position that others cannot shake.
But even if the blood is inherited, there will be a day of interruption.
But as for Mande, who had the ability of the "Ancestor" in his family, he clearly knew that with the ability inherited by Talos, if he wanted to break through the barrier of Twilight River and lead his troops to break in, it would not be difficult at all.
Although everything he just said was true, for these famous nobles, it was indeed impossible for them to truly appreciate the suffering of the so-called war.
However, as for the shortage of military supplies and whether it can achieve the constant layers necessary for a protracted war, Talos has obviously concealed something.
It's just that no one is aware of this matter, and if he directly punctures it, he won't mention it.
After all, times have changed, and he never thought of always being in this position of the senators.
The person who took over the Senate was also personally chosen, so it was better to wait and see what happened to the new head of the Taal clan and how far he could plan.
Mander thought so, leaning slightly to one side, his hands on his cheeks as if to be meaningful, watching the battle in the conference room.
Durer casually glanced at Mande, though he was also the silent party in the meeting. But Dürer was clearly more inclined to probe the minds of those present than Mande's understanding.
Perhaps for him who has nothing to do now, there is nothing more interesting than figuring out people's hearts.
"Your Excellency, perhaps you have some truth in what you say. But it is not easy to negotiate peace, and the hatred that has accumulated for decades between the demon envoy and the Yeren clan can not be solved by a unilateral truce? ”
"That's right, I think this matter needs to be carefully considered."
For a while, the opposition that had already subsided once again rebounded again because of its unwillingness to bow its head first.
Talos frowned, although he knew that it would not be too easy to negotiate peace, but now that he had opened his mouth, this matter could not be relaxed.
"Why do you have to decide now, and besides, Lord Tar's words are not unreasonable. Instead of consuming each other and harming the interests and the stability of the people, it is better to try this 'peace' policy. ”
At this time, Dürer, who had been watching the play, suddenly spoke.
He leaned forward slightly, dragging his chin in his hands like a good baby, and looked at Talos across from him with a smile.
"We've been fighting the Demon Envoy for so long, and I didn't dare to be interested in the grudges and plunders of the previous generation. I don't know what all of you think, but if you look at it from a different angle, it might be interesting......
Dürer smiled, the brilliance in his eyes softened the morning sun that had already risen high outside the window, making people feel splendid, but also faintly reflecting a bit of banter.
Talos met the gaze, but said nothing.
Until the meeting was adjourned, no conclusive conclusion was reached on the matter of peace talks.
Although one thing was finalized, not all members of the Senate voted in favor. But the stakes are too high for a decision to be made as long as there are too obvious voices of opposition.
When he walked out of the gate of the Senate, I don't know if Durer was intentional or unintentional, when he passed by Talos, after the two of them inadvertently rubbed their bodies, Durer just smiled and said, "Take care of your body, Yeren's blood is very precious." ”
Talos looked at him suspiciously, but after Dur said this, he had already passed by his side.
It's just that when he boarded the carriage of the Dürer clan, he suddenly stopped and looked at Talos with a slight side of his eyes, "Your Excellency Tár, don't let me down......"
……
In the carriage, recalling what Durer had just said to himself, it was obvious that he had found out that he was injured, but he had not told the Senate about it.
Thinking about his performance throughout the meeting, Talos suddenly felt that Dürer seemed to be not as simple as he had imagined before.
Or maybe he has been deliberately concealing or disguising himself.
"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? Or is there something else going on......"
Talos muttered to himself, leaning back in the car with a slightly tired body.
He reached down and tore off his tie and took off his heavy coat.
At this time, the blood on his shoulders had seeped through the thick layer of gauze and onto the shirt inside.
Fortunately, Talos was able to deal with it in the mansion, and he didn't make too big a move, so he didn't let the wound open again.
Now the blood had dried up, and some of it was sticking to the flesh.
Talos didn't have the heart to deal with that, just his mind swirled with Dürer's words and his subtle expression as if he was expecting something.
When I returned to the mansion, it was already sunny.
He simply instructed the guards to deal with the house slaves of the Buck family who had broken in last night, and then quickly returned to the room, changed his clothes, and went out again.
"Young Master Tar, I have already arranged what you have ordered. You're on the Senate's side, is it going well? ”
Seeing that Talos had finally returned, the guard who was in charge of meeting Rin and settling in hurriedly stepped forward. While making a concise return, he did not forget to care about the movements of the senators.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Rin over there, are you okay? ”
Talos didn't look at him, reached out and took out a simple set of civilian clothes from the closet, and used the contents of the medical kit to roughly clean up the blood stains on his lower shoulders.
"After we settled Miss Ye and the demon envoy around him, we came back directly according to what you said, young master. Whether they're still in the inn or not, I don't know. ”
The guard hesitated, but said truthfully.
It's just that when he said these things, he deliberately concealed the suspicion and distrust of Chi Muichi and the other two magic envoys about him.
Actually, it's not that he doesn't get angry and doesn't care.
It's just that this matter is Talos's own decision after all, and it is better to treat it as if he didn't hear it than to let the young master not be happy when he hears these words.
Anyway, no one cares whether those magic envoys go or stay.
"How many people are around?"
"The three of them, one of whom was named Ikeme, seemed to know that I was going to reciprocate, and they deliberately told me their names. And the other two, it seems that he brought the entourage, and there is not much intersection. ”
"yes, got it."
Talos answered, and as he spoke, he had already changed his clothes and walked towards the gate.
It's just that just as he stepped out of the gate and didn't go far, the guard behind him suddenly followed, and called Talos to stop, "Young Master Tár, Mangta, he hasn't been back since last night......"
In fact, he wanted to ask this sentence a long time ago, but he kept it in his heart and didn't know how to speak.
After all, having worked together for so long, he knew that Mangni must be a diehard loyalist to the Taal clan.
But he did some things too extreme and intervened too deeply.
He had reminded Mangni several times not to try to influence the young master's decision, but he was stubborn and insisted on doing things in a way that he thought was beneficial to the Tal clan.
Now the sudden disappearance of the mangnitrate is related to the captured demon envoy who disappeared all together......
He almost guessed what was going on.
"Young Master, although he is at fault, you also know his loyalty to the Taal clan. Although I shouldn't say that, I still ask you to deal with the miscanthus lightly. ”
Before Talos could speak, the guard had already taken the lead in pleading for Mangni.
"He's fine, it's just that I don't know where he's gone now."
After a moment's pause, Talos glanced at the guard. Although he didn't want to mention the matter of manganese again, seeing that the other party was so earnest, he still said so after all.
"Thank you, young master!"
After hearing Talos say this, the guard relaxed slightly, just thanked him loudly, and then watched Talos leave.
After coming out of the mansion, he went all the way to the hotel where he lived.
Talos stood at the door, but somehow he was a little afraid to open the door and go in at this moment.
