Chapter 382: Imperial Gladiator (24)
When they received that Marcus had sent out all the troops outside the royal capital, this army was very close to meeting them.
Ding Zhu didn't know anything about commanding an army to fight, but he couldn't do it when he thought of one or two ways to embarrass Marcus from time to time.
Boundless Snow and Ding Candle have been together for a long time, and he can be said to know this person very well, so when she saw Ding Candle falling into deep thought, she asked, "What are you thinking?" ”
Ding Candle was not slow to the boundless snow: "I plan to go to the royal capital." ”
"You're the only one?"
"Yes." Ding Zhu nodded.
"Why?"
"I'm going to take a salary."
Boundless Snow's eyebrows slowly furrowed, "Do you want to take this opportunity to kill Marcus?" ”
"Yes, don't you think it's a good opportunity to kill him now? The soldiers of the royal capital have all been dispatched, the general has not yet returned to the court, and only his own Praetorian Guards are left by his side, at this time, if you kill him, isn't it equivalent to directly holding the empire tightly in my hands? ”
"You're thinking too simply." Boundless Snow made her own response to Ding Candle's proposal, and she said slowly, "What if Marcus is dead?" The empire may have a temporary chaos because of the death of an emperor, but it will definitely not collapse, you must know that such a large empire naturally has a set of rules that run on its own, and this law will not disappear without an emperor, and Marcus has an heir, you don't forget, he has a son, from his queen, who is twelve years old. ”
With her fingers sliding lightly across the table, Ding Zhu agreed with what Boundless Snow had brought up, but then she said, "No, he has two sons." ”
Boundless Snow didn't react at first, but she soon realized what Ding Candle was talking about.
"You mean that child of Princess Tita......"
"Yes though in our eyes this inbred child is messy. Len, but this is not the case in this era, this is a very normal thing, and you say that Marcus's heir is from his queen, I don't think Marcus himself necessarily thinks so, after all, he has not yet determined who his heir is. Ding Zhu moved his fingers: "For such a large empire, it may be nothing to have two successor candidates, but once the mothers of these two heirs are very powerful, then it is difficult to say." ”
The boss of Boundless Snow's mouth opened: "Are you trying to provoke the queen and Princess Tita?" ”
"How can this be considered a provocation? The queen naturally thinks that her child is orthodox, of course she wants her son to ascend the throne, which is normal, but Princess Tita also thinks so, not to mention, for Princess Tita, that position was originally her father's, and now it is her brother's, and she will become her son next, which is fine, isn't it? The point is, the two women are at odds. ”
"How do you know the two of them don't get along?" Boundless Snow thought about all the news she had seen, but there had never been any news that said anything about the discord between the two women, how did Ding Zhu know?
"I guess." Ding Zhu laughed a few times, but hurriedly changed his words on the boundless snow-black face: "There are some clues in the news, such as Marcus gave the queen a gem today, and gave the princess a box of pearls the next day, although it was not written directly, but if you deduce it, you will know that the two people must be at odds, so Marcus has been balancing the relationship between the two people." ”
"Think about it, what happens between them once the balance between the two of them is broken, or rather, once the conditioning is broken?"
"Never die?"
"Who knows." Ding Zhu laughed out loud, "You must know that the queen has an army in her hands, and the princess is the same, if we continue to fight with Marcus, we will definitely use their army in the end, I don't think we can withstand the wheel war of these three people, but if they let them consume these armies themselves, we can't do it." ”
"What if we kill Marcus, but the queen and princess join forces against us?"
"Then we will write an armistice agreement and return a part of the land to them."
"Give them back?"
"For the time being, you must know that these two women, each with an heir in their hands, and each with an army in their hands, their cooperation may only be short-lived, and soon they will tear open this illusion of peace, and we only need to wait until that time, when they are almost fought, and the fisherman will be profitable."
Boundless Snow couldn't help but sigh while listening to Ding Candle's words: "I found out that you are really not ordinary obscene, you are already insidious?" ”
Ding Zhu stood up with a straight face: "How can I be insidious? I'm obviously too hungry for victory. ”
Yes, yes, you are shameless, you are right in everything.
But on the day when Ding Candle was going to the royal capital, she saw the boundless snow leaning against the door at the gate of the road after all, "Why are you here?" ”
"I'm going with you." Infinity Snow moved its shoulders.
"I shouldn't have a problem with one myself."
"You're really shameless, I'm not worried about your safety, I'm going to assassinate Marcus too, okay? Do you think I'm going to finish the mission if you kill Marcus? Boundless Snow rolled her eyes, stretched out her hand and put her arm around Ding Candle's shoulders and walked forward: "Brother, we are all resetters, you have to be considerate of me." Otherwise, do you think I'm willing to hurry? ”
The guards of the royal capital were already so tight that Ding Candle could not be described, and she and Boundless Snow pretended to be fleeing people and followed the procession into the city step by step towards the city gate.
"Looks like Marcus is already very nervous."
"Well, so we have to be very careful not to waste our efforts."
Because of the civil war, many people fled from outside to the royal capital, but not all of them were able to enter the city. Ding Zhu took a closer look, and those orphans and widows were basically allowed to enter the city, but young men were not allowed to enter the city, but were assigned to another place without knowing what to register.
When it was Ding Candle's turn and Boundless Snow, they were not allowed to enter the city, but were taken directly to another place by the soldiers, and at this time Ding Candle knew that Marcus was really doing everything, and his handling of refugees was violent and direct. ()
