Chapter 116: A Deal

The image of the video spar is frozen in Orville's mocking eyes, and at this moment, it seems that the images of Hong Lifeng and Orville overlap together. Li Jia felt that the look had traveled through time and space, piercing into his heart all the time, making him feel cold. The light and shadow of that image reflected on Li Jia's face, carving the furrows and ravines on his lowered head particularly hideous.

After a while, Zhang Hong said: "This doesn't mean anything, I can find a homeless man tomorrow and let him say a similar nonsense and press the crime of murder on your head." Who do you think my people will believe?"

"Have you forgotten that you have so many mages?" Cole leaned over to Zhang Hong, his head about to be on his head, "They may not be able to tell whether the image is real or fake, but they can't detect your mental state? This is the first time you have been scared into a cold sweat today?"

Zhang Hong suddenly remembered Chu Ying's case, although he didn't know the details, but it was said that Xiao Chen took action to check Chu Ying's bottom, and in the end even his brain was broken. This guy has always been jealous of himself, and if he has such an opportunity to fall into the well, how could he let it go? Since the committee is so enthusiastic about opening a small factory and the like, how can it not use such means for betrayal and defection to the enemy, killing fellow soldiers, and so on?

"What do you want?" asked Zhang Hong hatefully.

Cole didn't talk nonsense, put away the spar, and took out two small discs: "This is a magic prop left over from the Seven Towers era called 'Crossing Gate', which can teleport a person to you every time you use it." Although it is a one-time magic item, it is very stable, and even the city defense enchantment can't stop it. ”

"You, do you want me to let two people infiltrate Heimu Pass?" Zhang Hong asked.

"How could it be such a simple task, this is a rare precious treasure left in the world. Cole looked at Zhang Hong, "I want you to help someone open the Blackwood Pass!"

"You're crazy! This can't be done! If I do it for you, I'm done." It was completely finished, and I was beaten to death by them even when the door opened. Then I'd rather be judged! I killed Hong Lifeng, but it was manslaughter, and I was forced by a horse thief. They will understand me, and they will be taken lightly! I will not do such a bottomless thing!

Don't force me, if you force me, I'll go and report you now, we're going to break the net!" Zhang Hong roared in a low voice.

Cole had been watching him indifferently and hysterically, and when Zhang Hong calmed down a little, he said, "No, no, no, you think too much." That's not how things go. Come to think of it, what you have to do is very simple, activate these two things at the right time. Then show them the way, find the gates, and leave the rest to the people who come over. The next thing you have to do is just disappear and hide and don't get hurt by the rebels. No one will ever know what you did. You don't have to worry, I'll tell you about it, after all, your value is much more than that, and our Emperor Majesty would love to have a friend like you in the Tower of China.

Calm down and think about what I said, isn't that the truth?"

Zhang Hong was said by him, and naturally thought about it in his heart, he scrutinized it, and it seemed to be true, "But since that's the case, why don't you do it, you can do it now, can't you?"

Cole said angrily: "Please use your brains, now that Earl John is visiting here, this time is the time when your defense is the tightest, isn't it looking for death to do this kind of thing now? I need you to do this when it is safer and the defense in the pass is relatively lax." ”

"But if your army doesn't withdraw, the defenses here won't slacken for a day. Zhang Hong argued, "Do you think that your army is staying outside, and they will not look at the door to death?"

Cole laughed twice, "Very well, it seems that you have begun to stand with me and think about it." You're right, you'll be given a chance in a few days. You can wait for the right time. ”

"You mean, you will cooperate outside the customs?" asked Li Jia.

"That's right. Do you think Earl John has really come to talk about the passage of the army? How much hope do you think he has? Our wise Majesty has long anticipated your reaction. Cole pointed in the direction of the banquet, "It's just a show over there." All the previous conversations with the person in charge of your place were just a little fluke, only you here, we are fully prepared, and never thought that you would refuse. You're the star of the day, you know?"

"I ...... , Why do you all want to force me?" Zhang Hong's tone was a little frustrated, he was closer than Cole, feeling that he was trapped in a trap that was difficult to escape, "I, I don't want to be the protagonist, I don't want to have anything to do with you, I just want to do my own thing quietly, you, as well as horse thieves, natives, Xiao Chen, Luo Ling, so many people, why do you have to get along with me!"

"No one can exist apart from others, not even the Holy One. The fact that so many people have come to you means that you are very different. Cole patted Zhang Hong on the shoulder and said, "Why don't you think about the good things, as long as you finish this, we have a basis for cooperation, and you can get all kinds of support from the Empire." ”

"What do I want your support for? I just need you to stay away from me. Zhang Hongdao.

"I know there is no emperor among you, but you have a committee, and as far as I know, you are still very interested in joining the committee, right?

Politics and politics are different in form, but they are essentially the same, they are both games in which people compete for resources. This phrase was uttered by His Majesty the Emperor. The competition in the Imperial Senate is the resources in everyone's hands, and whoever has more resources will speak louder. I guess the same is true in the committee, right?

But as far as I know, what do you have on hand? You're just an ordinary high-level mage. Money, intelligence, manpower, you are all lacking. But if you have an empire behind you to help you, it's very different. Money is nothing more than putting the golden eagle and treasures into a storage ring, intelligence, the black guards all over the continent can give you secrets that others don't know at all, manpower, if you want to kill an opponent, we can help you achieve it. With these, you're far ahead of your competitors. Whether it's Luo Ling, Xiao Chen, or the old men and old ladies of the committee now, who can compare with you? Whose background can compare with the Purple Eagle Empire?"

Zhang Hong bowed his head and did not speak, but his unstable gaze revealed his inner wavering.

Cole shoved the two "Passage Gates" into his hands and said, "The opportunity is yours." However, if you don't do it when it's time to do it, then a few letters will be sent to the head of the new area of River, the city of Suero, and the head of Kuroki Pass.

Think about it, my friend. ”
