62 [What is a chip].
The Duke rubbed his head, as if he couldn't remember what to say, "I think about it, enough chips to impress them, and some white lies, well, that's what I said." ”
"Chips...... Lies?" Carter felt that he was slowly following the other party's train of thought, but for the Duke's final decision, it was still like looking at the mountains through the fog without knowing the direction, and looking at the sea through the fog without knowing the depth.
"Where do you think this place looks like in a completely enclosed field, with food, clothing, use, gold coins, and valuable beasts?"
Carter looked at the large circle drawn by the Duke waving his arm, and said tentatively, "Luolong Valley?"
"No, it's the outer city. Seeing the look of surprise and realization on Carter's face, the Duke continued, "What's even more insane is the woodland rose. This is my bargaining chip, no one is pressing, the mercenaries will voluntarily, no, frantically swarm into the outer city, and they can't stop it. ”
"But in that case, there's a better chance that the woman will die inside!"
Carter really didn't understand why the Duke would make such a choice, in his opinion, the life of the entire outer city was not worth the woman, he wondered if it was O-Anne Svanti underestimated the charm of the woodland rose, so he began to hollow out all the beautiful words in his heart to describe the woodland rose, so that the other party would not make a wrong judgment, but after some effort, the Duke shook his head. In his puzzled eyes, O-Net gave him an explanation.
"I see what you mean, Baron Carter, it's not that I don't believe in your evaluation of her, a woman who can make everyone who knows her fame crazy about her, I have never underestimated it, but I'm afraid that this bargaining chip is already in the white circle. ”
"What? No, Lord Duke, haven't you been here all along, when did you give the order?"
"Don't worry, young man," the Duke didn't care about Carter's faux pas, but patiently continued to explain, "even if you don't come here today, this chip will still be on the table, but it was empty before, and you have it now solid." ”
"It's ...... What does Lady Finn mean? Carter guessed that since the Duke was so willing to communicate with him, he wouldn't mind pretending to be stupid to find out more about this kind of inside information.
"No," the Duke shook his head, "it's Korovoz. ”
"Then now," Carter already felt that she had followed the other party's train of thought, not to mention Nissa, who had an agreement with her, whoever it was, even if she didn't know the next plan, she wouldn't want to continue to be locked up with werewolves, and now she had a third reason to leave, those male mercenaries would definitely not let her go easily, so, "I need to provide her with a way out...... An exit?"
"Well, so to speak, but not only for her, in order not to let the mercenaries have any worries, they must be able to enter and exit at any time or with conditions. As for leaving a way out for the mercenaries, someone will solve it, so now let's talk about your agreement. The Duke shook his spirits, filled their glasses again, and looked at Carter.
"Tell me what you call [detailed plan]. ”
So Carter sorted out the existing information, revised and supplemented the plan, and presented it in its new form in the Duke's mind.
After listening to this, O-Net took a sip of wine, pinched his chin and thought about Carter's arrangement, "Well, compared to the inner city gate, the prison is a better place to capture her, you find a way to bring her in, and then lock the door, and the rest is simple." ”
Hearing that the other party was going to make a move at the inner city gate, it almost made Carter laugh, how much did he underestimate that woman, no knights, no heavy infantry, with those longbowmen?
"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, those criminals will all be thrown into the outer city, and surviving can be regarded as washing away their grievances, and if they die, it means that God will not let them go," without waiting for Carter to speak, the Duke arranged it on his own, "You can do this matter, and the prison people will be handed over to you, but the time you agreed on is only two days, and you may have to be prepared to wait a little longer." ”
"Yes sir, I'll wait until she comes, if she can come. Carter hurriedly patted his chest and promised.
But as he chatted, Carter always felt that something was missing, and after thinking about it, he finally remembered that there was another question that made him very curious, so he continued to ask, "What about those civilians?"
He wondered if the Duke had used them as bargaining chips - [let the mercenaries take their lives].
If so, Carter could already imagine the fate of those people, especially the women inside. But after asking, he found that the duke's eyes looked at him a little strangely, could it be that he asked with attitude?
"What do you think?" said the duke.
"Uh. ”
Carter seemed to be riding a horse, but he didn't expect to be kicked by his companion next to him and almost fell off the horse, he didn't expect to ask this question, he was almost dying. No, did he deliberately not say it, just waiting for me to take the initiative to ask?!
What kind of answer to say, what kind of person he was characterized in the duke's heart, he didn't want to answer, but he couldn't help answering, and he had to answer as soon as possible, because the duke's eyes were already a little strange when he looked at him, Carter clenched his fists, and finally made a bet.
"[Let the mercenaries take the life of hiding]. He said softly.
Then he saw the duke smile, and his nervous mind seemed to relax, and when he wiped his forehead, he realized that it was all sweat.
The Duke continued to smile and raise his glass to him, "After drinking this glass, you can go about your business, young man. ”
"Yes, sir!"
It's only a small part of it, but he's got what he wants.
......
After Carter left, Anner Svanthi summoned the guards and ordered, "When the Gold Eaters enter the outer city, get rid of those who don't want to enter." ”
"Yes, my lord!" replied the guard.
The Duke paused for a moment and looked at the guard strangely, "Why don't you leave?"
"You're not done yet. ”
"Haha, it's not interesting to talk to you at all. ”
"After you have cleared those men, let the men used to deter them be put into the outer city," said the duke, after a moment's thought, "let the prison people take as many people as they can, and it won't take much to catch a woman." ”
"It's my lord. The guards finally took the order to leave.
=================================================
When Al woke up again, it was dark and the air smelled of, urine and sweat, and he rubbed his neck and began to stand up and grope around. Although it was dim, he could still tell where it was when he got closer, and he touched the iron railing in front of him, and secretly said in his heart that sure enough, he was really thrown into prison by Carter.
