029: Baron Cailliaud's concerns
There was a long silence in the room. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Baron Cailliaud's eyes widened as he stared at the smiling Roshi, his expression as if he had seen a ghost, but in his mind, even if he encountered a ghost, it would not be much more bizarre than in front of him.
After all, in his memory, this ordinary and even somewhat drowning imp was definitely not a smart person, and what happened in the past also confirmed this, but at this moment he was able to pierce the mystery of this painting at a glance, you know, he didn't see so much when he first got this painting, which is simply unbelievable.
"Knock Knock"
It wasn't until there was a knock at the door that Cailliaud came back to his senses, and turned his head to see the next person standing at the door: "Master, the carriage is ready"
After a moment's hesitation, Cailliaud suddenly had a feeling that the conversation would not be as short as expected, and he waved his hand: "Go and clean the carriage first, don't be rude in front of that old fellow of Bosch."
Ordering his servants to bring refreshments, Roch followed him to the balcony and sat on the rattan chair next to the triangular round table, and just folded the silk scarf into his neckline, he heard the laughing voice of Baron Cailliaud opposite: "You are really similar to your father, especially those eyes, which have completely inherited the brightness of Carlos"
"What I want to inherit is my father's perseverance, which is the most valuable asset he has passed on to me," Roshi replied meticulously
Baron Cayo was stunned, smiled, and praised: "Hehehe, God really favors the Tello family" After a pause, he cut to the chase and said, "Listen to someone who said that you came to me this time because of a manual?"
The foreplay is almost foreshadowed, at least the image left for Cayo is no longer a weak and ignorant imp, Roshi, who knew that he should cut to the topic, did not directly answer Cayo's question, but took a sip of the teacup and suddenly asked casually: "I heard that Deputy Commander Chloa failed to attack the upper great sword master last month"
Kloya is one of the two military deputy commanders of Landnot, his qualifications are mediocre, and his family is not noble and neutral, and he can sit in the position of deputy commander because of the current chaotic power structure, he is already over sixty years old, and he is still limited to the strength of the median great sword master, and he is obviously destined to retire in the next personnel change.
Roshi's unprovoked question made Cayo a little confused, but when Roshi was chatting, he replied casually: "Yes, he is old, it is not easy to go further, his talent is not satisfactory, and he is not as calm as your father, and he is too eager for quick success when he is old."
As soon as Baron Cayo's words fell, Roshi spoke again, and this time it seemed to provoke another topic: "I saw that the soldiers patrolling the city in the past two days have suddenly been very diligent, and the one in the lead seems to be the captain of the Drew City Guard, right?"
The captain of the city guard is the official position of the deputy commander, and the selection of the deputy commander is generally produced by the captain of the city guard, and the captain of the Drew city guard mentioned by Roshi at this time is the successor of the well-known deputy commander of Chloa.
This time Baron Cayo did not answer, and he suddenly realized that something was wrong with this conversation, because Drew also had an important identity, that is, a distant cousin of the Marshall family!
Roshi didn't care about Baron Cayo's expression, but put on a smile on his face, and continued to himself: "I heard that my uncle has a property called the Night Elves, I wonder if there are really elves in it?"
Speaking of this, he paused, curled the corners of his mouth, looked into Cailliaud's eyes, and said slowly: "But I heard that Baron Drew's only son often goes here to spend time..."
"Smack!"
Before Roshi's words fell, he was interrupted, Baron Cayo slammed the table, Huo Ran got up, with a cold face, and waved his hand: "Someone!
Failed?
Although he had long guessed that it would not be easy to convince Baron Cailliaud, who had always been neutral, such a violent reaction as soon as he opened his mouth was still beyond Roshi's expectations.
Forget it, it is up to people to make things happen, anyway, it is impossible for the Reeves family, who have always been neutral, to stab themselves in this way, even if they really get to the Marshall family by taking 10,000 steps back, they are enemies of life and death anyway, are you afraid that they will retaliate against me at this time?
Under the watchful eye of the two subordinates, Luo Xi reluctantly got up and said goodbye, walked out, and walked to the door, but suddenly remembered something, turned his head, and asked with the mentality of giving it a try: "Even if Lord Baron doesn't think about himself, is he really willing to waste Young Master Kane's bright future?"
It was just the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but I didn't expect Cayo's face that had been tense suddenly to move, and he muttered for a while: "Young Master Luo Xi, what you say... What does that mean?"
Seeing this, Roshi's heart moved, knowing that there was still a play, and hurriedly gestured to the people on the left and right, and Baron Cayo said: "You guys go down first"
After the subordinates retreated, Luo Xi stepped forward and said: "The military department and the battlefield are the best stage for a martial artist, the destination of soul and glory, such a high martial arts talent of Young Master Kane was born for the battlefield, but His Excellency the Baron has been leaving him at home, what are you worried about?"
Baron Cayo didn't speak, just looked at Roshi quietly, waiting for the next step, Roshi stretched out two fingers and said confidently: "It's a connection, right?"
"Years of peace have made the empire's need for military affairs not so urgent, and there are many people who have no ability but are unable to do so, are you worried that no one will take care of him, even if he is sent to the military department, he may not be able to rise to prominence, not to mention, according to his fierce and inflexible nature, it will even create some unknown risks"
"Am I guessing right?" Roshi asked quietly
Baron Cailliaud remained silent, but it was clear from his worried and helpless eyes that he had acquiesced to Roshi's point.
Since the end of the War of Unification, except for the unwilling orcs, the human race standing at the highest point in history has basically no threat from foreign enemies.
Although the powerful rulers still obeyed their status, it was no longer easy to stand out with their fists after the comfortable aristocracy instilled the idea of the supremacy of power under the guise of a sound legal system, and finally left the era of settling disputes by force.
It's not that the strength is useless, it's just that taking Kane as an example, with his qualifications and talents, it is completely a matter of time before he is put in the military department to worship the marquis in another era.
And if he were thrown in like this now, there was a chance that he would be buried, and it would be a waste of his talent to trap him in the small place of Landnot for the rest of his life as a local military chief.
And the Reeves family has never had any connections in the military department, and they can't find anyone who is willing to cultivate Kane to give him enough space to exert himself, which is why Baron Cayo has always refused to let Kane out!
At this time, when Luo Xi mentioned this heart disease, he couldn't help but reveal his true expression, after all, Kane's ability can completely revitalize the family and even make the family go to the next level!
"Young Master Roshi seems to have come prepared, so I'll be cheeky to ask for advice, I don't know what you can do?" After a long silence, Baron Cayo couldn't help but say
Looks like there's a chance!
Roshi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, accepted Cailliaud's invitation and sat back on the rattan chair, he spoke: "Actually, I have already had it for a long time, when my father first took over the position of military commander, you came to congratulate him with a generous gift, and my father's attention to Young Master Kane I think it should be not just out of appreciation, right?"
Roshi's words are not groundless, Carlos did make an agreement with the Reeves family when he was alive to find a stable way out for Kane in the military department.
But Carlos, who was born as a mercenary, still has such a strong network in the military department?
Of course, Carlos, who has never had any roots, did not have it before, but since he took over the position of military commander, he has had the opportunity to accumulate contacts in the Imperial Military Department!
The Imperial Military Department has a set of detailed management guidelines for the military, and the local army is directly under the command of the military department when it reaches the level of commander, and it is necessary to go to the military department for regular meetings and military exchanges in all aspects on time.
The reason why the Marshall family can have resources in the military department is not precisely because their family once took charge of the military commander of Landnott!
"But that's stillborn after all," Cailliaud wondered, "and now Landnot's position as commander has been vacant for a long time, even if I want to do this..."
Just now when he said this, he saw Luo Xi's smiling eyes, and suddenly thought of something, and he said in surprise: "Do you want me to seek this..."
Luo Xi nodded, and said in a sonorous voice: "It is better to ask for others than for yourself! No matter how solid the agreement is, I don't think it is as stable as grasping the opportunity in my own hands!"
"Your Excellency, with all due respect," after a pause, Roshi said word by word: "The position of military commander of Landnot, you, is bound to win!"
