Chapter 115: The Ice Queen
After discussing the details of the cooperation, Rollin and Najehitan left in a hurry, after all, the identities of both parties are very sensitive, and if it is discovered that the two sides have met secretly, it will be a big trouble for either side. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After a period of silent silence on both sides, Rollin finally took action.
However, compared to what the night raid did, what Luo Lin did was really nothing, that is, to provide the movements of the people on the must-kill list in real time, or to find various excuses to send them out to provide a favorable opportunity for the assassination of the night raid.
For more than 20 days, night attacks were frequent, and more than 30 officials were killed. For a while, the officials of Earnest and his family began to panic, and they realized that they were also likely to be the target of a night raid and assassination.
As a result, Rollin suddenly received several times more sick leave requests than usual.
Rollin approved all applications based on the principles of caring for his subordinates, benevolence and fraternity. It's just that if a huge empire wants to operate, it can't rely on the emperor alone. Therefore, while those officials are recuperating at home, they must be sent to temporarily take their place.
I have to say that Rollin's move is really ruthless, he directly gave Earnest a salary, squeezed out more than 30 officials who supported Earnest, and then arranged for someone he trusted to take over their positions, further suppressing Earnest's power. It is conceivable that if Earnest does nothing more, those officials who have taken sick leave will not want to be reinstated in this life.
。。。。。。
Late at night, in the middle of Earnest House.
"Smack!"
Earnest broke the first cup he didn't know, and looking at the plates, cups and other fragments around him, it was obvious that he had been in a state of extreme anger for some time.
"That little emperor, I really underestimated him, how dare he, how dare ......"
The more Earnest spoke, the more angry he became, and he just wanted to drop something to get angry, but he reached out and fished for nothing, because everything around him that could be dropped had been thrown off by him, and then there were things that he couldn't hold or break.
It's no wonder that Earnest is so angry, under Rollin's repeated suppression, his power in the court can be said to have shrunk rapidly, and he can no longer say anything like before. Moreover, what kind of Huaxia department store opened by Luo Lin has almost affected all the commercial activities of the imperial capital, anyone who wants to do business in the imperial capital must take the shipping price of the department store as the benchmark, the price is high and cannot be sold, and the price is low and will definitely lose money, and the major chambers of commerce in the imperial capital are miserable for a while. In this way, Ornest, who provided shelter for these chambers of commerce and merchants, naturally received fewer offerings.
first suppressed its power, and then cut off its financial route, either of which is enough to keep both sides alive.
"Don't worry, sir, Your Majesty's time to be proud is running out, isn't it?"
A middle-aged man with half a hundred hair and a lean-looking appearance stood next to Earnest and said.
This person is Onest's butler, and it can be said that he is Onest's absolute confidant, and many things that are inconvenient for Ornest to come forward are handled by him.
"What do you mean......"
"Master, hasn't General Estes already sent back a good news, the northern alien nation has been assessed, and the army is leaving for the imperial capital?"
"Hahaha, you're right, as long as Estes comes back, I'll have the power to fight back again."
Earnest laughed wildly, after all, he was a powerful minister who could climb to a position above ten thousand people under one person, and this bit of patience was still there, as long as Estes came back, he would not be as passive as he was now.
You know, Estes is the strongest man in the empire, and even General Bud doesn't dare to guarantee that he will be able to win. It's just that Estes's strong personality dooms her to not obey others, and the reason why she is willing to join forces with Earnest is because Earnest can provide her with a never-ending war. Ornest, on the other hand, needs the military support of Estes, and the two of them can be regarded as taking what they need.
At the same time, Estes completely suppressed the northern alien people, and the good news of beheading the prince of the northern alien nation was already in front of Luo Lin.
This can't help but give Rollin a headache, if he is given a few more months, Rollin will be sure to completely empty Earnest's power, and when the time comes, whether to kill or stay, whether to behead or Ling Chi is not a matter of Rollin's words.
But when Estes returned, things were different. In the original work, Najehitan's evaluation of her was that it would take at least 50,000 elite soldiers and ten imperial envoys, including Red Hitomi, to kill her. It can be seen that Estes is only strong, at least for now, Rollin is not sure of winning against her.
At the same time, Estes is also a very contradictory person, obviously cherishing his subordinates very much, trying to eat and live with his soldiers, and most of the rewards will be distributed to the soldiers, so his prestige in the army is extremely high. However, when dealing with the enemy or prisoners, the methods are extremely cruel, and they simply develop S to the limit, and they will never give up without saying that the enemy's body and spirit are defeated together.
And Estes's hobbies are also very weird, he likes to torture and ravage, for some people with special hobbies, Estes is definitely a queen-level figure.
With such a character who represents endless danger as soon as she appears, Rollin is really not sure if she can be subdued.
But then again, Estes is also a poor man, she was born in the northern border region, the daughter of the patriarch of the Balutes tribe, a race that specializes in hunting dangerous species, and the idea of the law of the jungle is deeply ingrained in her childhood. After returning from a solo hunt, he found that the whole clan had been wiped out by the northern aliens, and since then he has become even more convinced that the only way to survive is to become a strong man. In such a situation, it seems not surprising that people become a little extreme.
If you exclude the flaws in her character, Estes is really a big beauty, tall, and her light blue hair color adds a lot of strange beauty to her, and the queen-type royal sister has a burst of temperament. In addition, she has been in the army all year round, and she naturally has a little more heroism on her body, which has increased his charm by several percentage points again.
No, when Rollin summoned Estes, he couldn't help but be stunned for three seconds.
"Ahh
Luo Lin coughed dryly to hide his embarrassment, and said with a smile: "General Estes has worked hard, and this time the northern alien race can be evaluated, all thanks to the general's merits." That's why I decided to reward the general with 10,000 taels of gold. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will pass it on to the soldiers guarding the northern town."
Estes said neither humbly nor arrogantly, although she was kneeling in front of her, Rollin did not feel any respect.
"I see, General Estes is really sympathetic to his subordinates. Well, I'll have the gold delivered later. ”
Rollin nodded noncommittally, he knew that money and power were just foils to Estes, and compared to these things, she was still a strong opponent who made her feel more happy.
"But General Estes has merit after all, and he can't be unrewarded. I don't know what you want, General Estes, but if I can do it, I will satisfy you. ”
"Well, if I had to say it, I want to be in a relationship."
As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent, and everyone was taken aback, because they didn't expect that General Estes, who had always been known for his strength, would have the same fantasy of falling in love as ordinary women.
"General Estes's wish is really peculiar."
Rollin pretended to be contemplative, Estes's request was not excessive, and it didn't hurt to agree, but if you want to maximize the benefits from it, then you need to think about it. Of course, more importantly, Rollin didn't want to give Estes away to anyone else for nothing.
"So, General Estes, what do you think of Your Majesty? With Your Majesty's excellence, I think it will be able to get into your eyes. ”
Earnest said with a smile that he knew he was beating his mind at first glance, and his words sounded like he was praising Rollin, but in fact he was digging a hole for Rollin to jump.
If it is said that those second generations in the imperial capital choose a list that is the least likely to provoke women, Estes is definitely at the top of the list.
You must know that when Estes first entered the imperial capital, because of her beauty, there were many people who beat her idea. But as a result, the beatings were all light, the beating and the dead abounded, and there were even some poor worms who were taken into the interrogation room by Estes, and it is said that when their family sent someone to rescue them, they all had a nervous breakdown and could not take care of themselves.
Such a dangerous person, Earnest actually wants to get her and Rollin together, which shows his sinister intentions.
"Ahem, you're laughing, minister."
Rollin coughed a few times in embarrassment, although Rollin also had unusual thoughts about Estes, but he couldn't show it openly, after all, he wasn't ready to face Estes head-on.
"Back to the topic, since General Estes wants to fall in love, then I will naturally try my best to meet it, but I don't know what kind of mate you have for General Estes?"
"Request...... First, the most important thing is to focus on the possibilities of the future. I hope to train myself with the goal of becoming a general-level figure.
Second, there is guts. Even if you are empty-handed, you can go hunting dangerous species with me.
Third, like me, people who grew up not in the imperial capital, but in the border areas.
The fourth year is younger than me, because it is so good to be dominated by me.
Fifth, it is best to have someone with a pure smile. ”
Estes said with a serious face, but he didn't know that the people who were listening were starting to have black lines. Except for the last three, which are relatively simple, there are very few people who can make the first and second of the five requirements put forward by Estes, and if the five requirements are connected together, no one can do it at all.
"Well, General Estes, your request is really special."
Rollin was really distressed at the moment, why did he always feel like he was lifting a stone and hitting his own feet?
"Of course, if it is Your Majesty, the third and first articles can be ignored."
Hearing Estes's words, Rollin was stunned, did he ever say that he wanted to fall in love with Estes?
Well, Rollin did think about it, but he just thought about it in his heart, and he didn't say it at all, okay, do you need such a solemn addition. In this way, it is really a distressing question to let Rollin fight for it or not.
