"What about the current situation in Magnolia, then what should we do with the west we represent?"

In the hotel, Wang Xiaotian realized the undercurrent in the situation, this is no longer a hasty decision, it must be carefully and prudently, so he asked very sincerely.

And Patrizi, as the noble successor of the Shane Domain, although he is a nobleman, his thinking is very unique, and he rarely shows the sick sense of honor and old-fashioned greed of those traditional nobles.

Maybe it's a young man, Patrici has a very good sense of Wang Xiaotian, and in the current situation, he doesn't deceive Wang Xiaotian, and he analyzes it with all his heart.

"First of all, we are an emerging force in the west, and the royal family's attitude towards us should be inclined to support," Patritz analyzed very calmly, this melancholy man, I have to say, there is some truth in speculation, perhaps it is precisely by relying on this calm and rational analysis that he chose to form an alliance with Wang Xiaotian, rather than bow to the Earl of the West.

"Since more than ten years ago, the royal family has begun to shrink the ruling power of local lords, although it is very hidden, but this is an indisputable fact. This move by the royal family has led to the resistance of the local nobles of the entire Violet Principality. ”

Patrici was talking eloquently, and Wang Xiaotian was also listening attentively.

This is also a fact, after the bloodshed of the royal capital more than ten years ago, the royal family began to rein in local power, after all, there is a saying in this world "the lord of the lord is not my lord", in order to retract power, the royal family began to drastically weaken the local lord in recent years.

Originally, this was an incident that was opposed to the entire local aristocracy, but the royal family was extremely clever in its methods, attracting a group of new local forces, and eliminating the old ones, and constantly weakening the strength of the entire local aristocracy through these support and elimination.

For the greedy nobles, the real old local nobles are a minority, most of them are those small lords, since the royal family is willing to support the small lords and fight the big lords, why not do it for the local lords who are fighting their own battles.

Unite the majority, fight the minority, and then through this back and forth, the foundation of the old strength slowly dissipates, and the new aristocracy does not establish its own network of influence, and the royal family easily becomes the final winner.

"The eastern provinces, the southern provinces, due to the geographical location and complex political relations, after the death of the old earl of the southern provinces, the royal family sent a governor to lead the southern provinces, with the convenience of the Marie River system, the royal family has been in full control of the south in these years. The east, on the other hand, was the granary of the principality, with fertile plains, and the royal family had completed its control over the east as early as previous generations through constant marriages. Therefore, we can ignore these two provinces, because they are the royal family. ”

Patrizzi's mouth began to make the situation in the entire Violet Principality gradually clear.

"The crux of the matter is the north and the west. Now, Baron Dick and Count Andy in the west are facing each other, and according to the royal family's usual practice, they should support Baron Dick and then suppress Count Andy. Patrizi's words made a lot of sense, and Wang Xiaotian couldn't stop nodding.

As he spoke, Patrici frowned, and said in a low voice: "The problem is here, now, the war in the Northland has just subsided, the Earls of the Northland have all died in battle, it can be said that the Northland has lost its biggest noble, the Prince of Wes wants to seek the territory of the Northland, for this, he does not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the royal family to unite the Earls of the West." ”

"Why did he want to unite with the Earl of the West?" Wang Xiaotian asked with some confusion.

Sighing lightly, Patrici explained: "It is also a local power, he would rather unite with the Earl of the West than choose Baron Dick, and the reason for this is family relations! You see, you came to Magnolia on behalf of Baron Dick, the great lord of one-tenth of the territory of the principality, but you can only stay in a hotel, and I, although I am a small lord, but my family history is long enough, we have our own mansion in the king. ”

The Earl of the West, although he has a conflict of interest with the royal family, over the years, he has been able to confront the royal family because of his long history, many big families in the royal capital have marriage relations with them, and many people have established a deep network with the Earl of the West in business transactions in the west.

With these networks, Prince Wes, he can make a large part of the nobles jointly seek the territory of the north, plus the north has no owner, this is simply a godsend.

Therefore, in order to obtain the resources of the Northlands, Wes preferred to unite with the Earls of the West, sacrificing the interests of the royal family to fulfill himself.

After listening to Patrizi's explanation, Wang Xiaotian already understood a little, and he asked in a condensed voice, "Then now, what should we do?"

"In this matter, the Earl of the West helped His Royal Highness the Prince to obtain the lord, then, if he can get military support, all we have to do is to hold His Royal Highness Diana tightly!

Patrizi's words are very simple and clear, in terms of the thickness of the thighs, who can compare to Diana, this is the future Grand Duke.

Just when the two of them were talking and pointing out the country, Oladin asked people to come back with words.

"What? The Laurent family is visiting, hurry up, invite someone over," Wang Xiaotian didn't react, Patrizi spoke first, but Patrici knew very well that the Lawrence family, this is not only a famous family in the Northland, this is an ancient swordsman family.

"The Laurent family, is it important?" Wang Xiaotian asked with some puzzlement as he looked at Patrizi's reaction.

Patrizi frowned, pondered, and said slowly: "This Laurent family is not simple, it can be said that in addition to the Earl of the Northland, this family is the second family in the North, if we can get their support, the prince's desire to go to the Northland will be much more difficult, and this may become an opportunity for us to fight against the Earl of the West." ”

Wang Xiaotian didn't expect that Fiona, who didn't seem to have a bit of an aristocratic frame, had such a background in their family.

Soon after, an unusually low-key carriage slowly approached.

Escorted by the scouts in the Oradin's team and the secret swordsmen of the Northlands, this Kant Laurent visited Wang Xiaotian's tavern in a very low-key manner.

Some people who were staring at the tavern didn't notice that the Laurent family and Wang Xiaotian in the Northland had quietly come into contact.

Still on the second floor of the hotel, in a simple attic, Patrizi, Kant, and Wang Xiaotian, these three young people met for the first time.

The conversation lasted an afternoon.

It wasn't until sunset, when the whole of Magnolia began to walk into the night under the afterglow of the setting sun, that Kant quietly left under the escort of the strong men of the North.
