Half a day later, the airship returned to the factory in Nighttown, and speaking of which, since this was the first appearance of Zhang Li's airship, many people in Nighttown were also taken aback when it took off.

Since Zhang Li never allowed others to enter that room, they had long been very curious about the things inside, but they didn't expect Zhang Li to quietly make up such an object.

"Bad guy, you're back......" As soon as the airship landed, a certain eldest lady ran over to greet her, but because they still had to hide their relationship in front of outsiders, she suppressed the urge to throw herself into Zhang Li's arms.

However, the eyes of the people around her were very surprised, and some people had ambiguous expressions, showing a look that was not what I expected, after all, her abnormal tone and twisted demeanor said something very well.

Seeing her like this, Zhang Li laughed speechlessly.

"Well, I'm back. ”

In a word, Althea bloomed like a flower, speaking of the mutual intentions they only confirmed yesterday, if the average couple does not want to separate for a moment now.

"So, that guy isn't there, is he?" Suddenly, the girl seemed to think of someone, blushed, and asked shyly.

Looking at Althea's small appearance, Zhang Li guessed that the guy she called was Marcus, who interrupted the two of them outside the door yesterday.

"He stayed there. ”

Althea breathed a sigh of relief, it's good not to be there, she was so ashamed and embarrassed yesterday, if she saw him, she would now hide her face and run away.

"Alright, let's go back, I still have something to discuss with you. Althea didn't know what to say because there were too many light bulbs, and when she heard Zhang Li's call, she let out a sweet "um" and followed like a rabbit.

Seeing this scene, even the dull guy knew what was going on, and suddenly, many men present hung their heads and paused and called for flowers and cow dung, men are afraid that all the same sex except themselves are regarded as "cow dung".

In short, their goddess was soaked, maybe such and such things have been done, this matter is bound to cause a lot of public opinion in Night Town, and it is very likely to reach the ears of the duke, but Zhang Li doesn't care at all.

"Bad guy, you are not allowed to mess around, it would be bad if someone broke it again like yesterday. As soon as she entered the office, Zhang Li immediately hugged her and sat on the sofa, and Althea thought that Zhang Li was going to do her badly, so she said such a sentence.

But this time she really misunderstood Zhang Li, he really had something to say.

About how to convince her father to send troops.

In the past six months, since Zhang Li has also participated in the construction of Night Town, he is very aware of the current situation in Night Town, because Duke Eberlock ordered all the people to retreat to Night Town, the garrison no longer has to be dispersed to the entire territory to defend, and the task of the garrison has suddenly become very easy, plus the night watchman has also recovered to the level of about 1,000 people in the past half a year, so it is not difficult to draw out a thousand rich manpower.

However, a thousand people is too little, the enemy is at least 50,000 people, and even if you are willing to spend money to hire mercenaries, the number can be doubled, and a thousand people are really not worth mentioning in the face of them, Zhang Li is Zhuge Liang incarnation may not be able to help dozens of times or hundreds of times his own enemies.

However, the question also arises, with such a large number of enemies, how could Duke Eberlock be at odds with them?

It doesn't matter who wins this war for Duke Eberlock, even if the authority changes his situation, and if Antony takes the throne, the new ruler urgently needs the support of others, in order to win over Duke Eberlock, he may send troops to help him calm the threat in the territory.

So why did he meddle in this?

If Zhang Li sat in his seat, he probably wouldn't interfere.

"This ...... It's really difficult...... "Althea also began to ponder after hearing Zhang Li's concerns, but she didn't have a good idea, she knew her father better than Zhang Li, and knew that he would prioritize the interests of the family no matter what he did, first weigh the possibility of success, and then weigh the gains and losses, if he found that it was not worth doing after weighing it, he would definitely not do it.

And this war hardly has to be measured, there is no suspense at all.

The Cathedral garrison has 3,000 garrisons, Bolval's 10,000 private troops, and even if the 5,000 forgotten veterans of the Watchtower are added, the total number has not exceeded 20,000, and in the face of an enemy that may even double the 50,000, what chance do they have of winning with such a huge disparity in strength?

"Otherwise, I'll put a knife against my neck in front of him and force him to make a decision!" Thinking that this might be Zhang Li's only chance to make a contribution, Zhang Li quickly stopped her for the sake of her lover Althea, who wanted to be impulsive at that time.

"Don't do that!" Not to mention whether this can be successful, forcing her to die for the sake of a man, doesn't this make her father angry to death?

Under Zhang Li's kind words and persuasion, Althea finally gave up this impulsive plan, but she actually knew that even if she forced her to die, she might not be able to shake her father, for this kind of major event that may lead to the survival of the family, he has never thought of the affection of his children, and he can still inherit one from the side without an heir, and the family will be completely finished if it is gone.

But she really couldn't think of anything else besides that.

After that, she and Zhang Li both began to fall into thought, and the more they thought about it, the more distressed they became, and Althea had a lot of bad ideas, such as kidnapping her father and then forcing him to send troops, or stealing his ring to write a fake order or something (the lord's seal is a ring), all of which were vetoed by Zhang Li.

It is said that her daughter is extroverted, but she didn't expect Althea to be so extroverted, Zhang Li's heart was really warm and helpless.

It seems that it is wrong to consult her, and the key is to rely on himself.

"Hmm...... Wait!I suddenly thought of a great idea!" Thinking that the greatest difficulty in convincing Duke Eberlock was that his family might be implicated after the defeat, Zhang Li suddenly had a thought.

"What is it?" Althea saw that Zhang Li couldn't sit still all of a sudden, and stood up directly to go to her father, did she really think of a good idea?

"Come with me, you'll know when the time comes......"

..................

The next day, Zhang Li and 3,000 people went on the road, that's right, 3,000 people, not just a thousand rich people, as soon as these 3,000 people came out, there were only 4,000 combat power left in Night Town, and this number of people may not be able to stop a round of charge from the Ogre of Vorgour, what caused Duke Eberlock to make up his mind to invest such a large capital?

That's because Zhang Li offered a strategy that allowed him to profit no matter who wins or loses.

As a member of the Celestial Empire, Zhang Li can be regarded as inheriting a little bit of the way of thinking of his ancestors.

We can compare difficulties to a piece of ice, foreigners' way to fight against ice is basically to bite with their teeth, and the result is likely that the ice is bitten and the teeth are broken, but the people of the Celestial Empire are different, the Celestial Empire people lick with their tongues, we lick the ice little by little, the difficulties are solved, and we do not have to suffer the slightest damage.

This is not only on the battlefield, but also on any occasion.

We will approach problems from multiple angles and in many ways, even when we are likely to win, and we will calculate how to reduce our losses, rather than blindly stumbling.

Therefore, Zhang Li's strategy to Duke Eberlock is to participate from another angle, that is, to be duplicitous.

He doesn't need to have a bad relationship with the parliamentarians, he can even pretend to join the other party's camp and cheer them on, if the parliamentarians really have a chance to win, then he will go over to step on Bolvar and them, and he can sell the parliamentarians a good thing after the incident, if they show their defeats, then directly turn against the water, so that no matter what the outcome is, he is the beneficiary.

However, it is easy for a two-headed person to become a two-headed person, and besides, the parliamentarians may not necessarily believe in his sincerity, so he needs a vote.

This name is Zhang Li, in fact, he was escorted on the road.

I saw a carriage specially prepared for him, all around which candles were lit, and Zhang Li was tied up and imprisoned in a chair, he was the sincerity that Duke Eberlock had dedicated to the councillors.

Of course, everything was Zhang Li's idea, and he also had a way to prevent Duke Eberlock from being a man at both ends.
