Chapter 238: Bargaining Chips
Mrs. Murphy's "arrest" of Maranfin was actually just a wonderful misunderstanding. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the political situation in the Sixth Kingdom was turbulent and civil strife was frequent, and Mrs. Murphy was not a member of the Senate at that time, but the chief of the guard of the Sixth Kingdom, and her status was no different from that of Alyssa now.
On a wonderful afternoon, she met Maranferin, who was on her way through the Sixth Kingdom.
Then Maran Fuyin, who came to ask for directions, was inexplicably arrested by her as an arsonist.
When Lin Qiu heard this, he found that it didn't seem to be Maran Fuyin who was "arrested", it was obviously Mrs. Murphy and her men who were subdued by the other party - in all senses. At the mention of Maranfer, Mrs. Murphy was in high spirits, and she kept talking incessantly, and even remembered some of the details clearly.
He roughly judged that the Hundred Years' War had not yet begun, which meant that that the wonderful afternoon for Mrs. Murphy had been at least a hundred years ago.
From this point of view, it seems that her girlish heart was "arrested" by Maran Fuyin.
Maran Funne's uninhibited and uninhibited position as the strongest knight was a fatal attraction for many women, and Lin Qiu felt that he should have left behind a lot of romantic debts when he traveled all over the world, and Lady Murphy was just one of them. But there is one thing that Lin Qiu understands, at least listening to it now, although Mrs. Murphy did not say it explicitly, she can feel that her status is higher than that of the eldest prince, and she helped Albert out of the other party's request for help.
It's pretty fantastical.
When he met Albert in the palace by chance, the other party seemed to be in charge of everything, but after a long time, his own subordinates had problems and had to ask for help from higher-ranking forces. And the appearance of Mrs. Murphy also made Lin Qiu sort out many problems that he had not solved before.
The ability of the crown to maintain a balance with the clergy on the surface does not seem to be Albert's work, but ...... There are people above him. Mrs. Murphy's intention is very obvious, Lin Qiu briefly summarized, probably:
Albert has a subordinate who wants to do something, but because this subordinate is not low-status, and he is the first veteran to support him, he can't do it blatantly, otherwise it may chill a vote of veteran supporters;
In this case, Veronica went to the imperial capital, and the eldest prince somehow learned that she and Richard had reached a strategic alliance, so he came up with a note - through the princess, provoke Richard, or more precisely, the conflict between Lin Qiu and Bruno, and then borrow Lin Qiu's hand to get rid of Bruno and push the matter on Richard.
As for the arrival of Lady Murphy, it is to ensure that Bruno is finally eliminated from this ending.
After all, Albert couldn't accurately grasp Lin Qiu's character, he was afraid that Lin Qiu would make some strange moves when he was about to kick the door, causing his plan to fall short, so he had to leave a backhand.
This was actually Albert's conspiracy, and he believed that even if Lin Qiu knew about his plan, he would help him without hesitation - because in a sense, it was a win-win situation.
Lin Qiu helped him get rid of the hidden dangers of his subordinates, and at the same time, he was able to win the support of the princess of the Fifth Kingdom for Richard.
"That's a lot of money. Lin Qiu had to sigh: "This is equivalent to him using the entire Fifth Kingdom as a bargaining chip?"
"That's right. Mrs. Murphy nodded, and Lin Qiu was really pleased that she could be so "enlightened". In fact, if the conspiracy is seen as a transaction, it is easier for the two sides to reach a consensus - she has always believed that smart people will make trade-offs based on profit and loss.
According to her observations, although Lin Qiu's usual behavior can be described as weird, the trade-offs in major matters are enough to show that he is a resourceful person, and based on this, Mrs. Murphy decided to make this matter clear. This is just a trivial task she received, and Lin Qiu herself is the goal of her cooperation in the future.
Albert's renunciation of becoming a knight directly determined that no matter how much power he seized during his reign, it was only a few decades of time, and after reaching her level, she was interested in something more long-term.
For example, Lin Qiu's potential.
She put her chips on the teenager, who was quite similar to Maran Feryn.
In order to show the sincerity of cooperation, she opened a bargaining chip that Lin Qiu did not expect: "Your goal should not be just on the battle for the throne...... I heard you're looking for a third 'Soul Suppression Jade', right?"
The look of shock on Lin Qiu's face made her very happy.
This young man, who has always been sinking like water, finally showed a different expression in front of her. Although she is optimistic about Lin Qiu's potential, and even the possibility of carving the future alone, with the 'Four Knots Seal', he is probably higher than Alyssa's, but now his strength is far from being able to reach the point where he can control the pattern of Helutia and even the entire continent.
In her cognition, apart from the Holy Maiden and the vanished Gelua, there were only three people who were strong enough to change the pattern of the continent - Maran Fuyin, White Bone Ji, and ...... Sith.
Only these three managed to unlock the fourth-order seal and learn the ultimate secret of the seal, thus reaching a whole new realm.
"I'm indeed collecting the 'Soul Suppression Jade'. ”
Lin Qiu admitted, but this chip was far beyond his expectations. He thought that being able to save Veronica safely was the highest bargaining chip Albert had offered, after all, rescuing Veronica was likely to make the eldest prince lose the support of a kingdom, and it was already extraordinary for him to make such a decision.
As for the 'Soul Suppression Jade', it was not in his consideration from the beginning.
"I can guarantee that when you need the third 'Soul Suppression Jade', I will deliver it to you...... That's enough to show my sincerity, right?"
Mrs. Murphy pretended to be innocent and winked at Lin Qiu, she believed that this was a bargaining chip that Lin Qiu could not refuse.
It's just too sincere.
This was already equivalent to a piece of pie smashed on Lin Qiu's head.
"So, we're partners?"
After clarifying the words, Lin Qiu felt much more relaxed - "I hope the cooperation is happy." ”
"That's right. Mrs. Murphy narrowed her eyes, "As a partner, I have a word of advice. From now on, it's time to think about what will happen after the throne changes hands...... Henry V should not live for more than three months. ”
Lin Qiu was already immune to these news that was enough to shock everyone in the imperial capital today.
Mrs. Murphy's words were already very explicit.
After the death of Henry V, it was also the moment of the final showdown between Richard and Albert. There is not much time left for them to prepare.
In three months, it will be an impossible task to win over the forces that the eldest prince has built up over the years, no matter who it is.
"The next time we talk like this, maybe it will be after the enthronement ceremony. ”
Tyre Cyrius.
History has always belonged only to the victors.
Let me see if you really have the power to change the kingdom.
