Section 5: The Prince in the Bellows (Part I

"The chief just took office today, the name, you can inquire for yourself. Townsend slowly turned his body and looked at the faces of the neatly dressed people: "I just came to say hello to you, and we will have a chance to meet in the future." If the chief is happy, you will be happy, and if the chief is not happy, you will be sad......"

"These two are role models, how to treat the chief in the future, think about it yourself. ”

The neatly dressed "homeless" people all bowed their heads and looked submissive.

"For the sake of this tattooed face, the chief spared you today. Townsend looked at the rou at his feet: "Next time, remember to find a person with better craftsmanship, don't be too long, the chief will almost not recognize it"

The two leaders of the exiles in good clothes were crushed by Townsend in this way, because this person's methods were vicious and he would be charged, so Hun's accomplices among the exiles did not dare to come forward, nor did they dare to make a stumbling block immediately.

"Got it?" Jiāo finished speaking, and Townsend looked at the two old team: "This is what to do with the chief." ”

"Understood, understood" The old team nodded: "We are the best at these things"

"If you understand, why don't you get the money bag out of Jiāo?"

"Yes, yes, we just forgot ......" Two greasy money bags were handed to Townsend.

"Next time you dare to forget, you will be deducted from your salary. This is all stolen money, and it must be confiscated" Townsend only glanced at it and stopped looking at it, and was righteous and awe-inspiring: "Forget it, you can take it first, and you will open a receipt when you go back later, you must be optimistic." The chief is going to procure, keep up. ”

The three of them walked out of the crowd of displaced people with great momentum.

Behind them, countless resentful eyes lifted one after another.

The backs of the three of them had just disappeared, and there was a sāoluàn on this side of the moat, some people were holding two hooves and shaking vigorously, some people were giving orders to call a carriage, and some people were hurrying into the outer city......

Regardless of whether the pool of water in the tent area is turbulent or not, in short, the calm water surface has been rippled by a grain of xiǎo stone.

It's still early, and the tent area hasn't come alive yet.

Because the chiefs are tainted with the atmosphere of the city, few people maintain the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, and do not start business early in the morning. Disappointed, Townsend had no choice but to go to the swordsman camp first.

The road to the swordsman's camp is relatively long, passing through most of the tent area, because this camp is located on the edge of the cliff, guarding the only passage from the tent area to the civil harbor dock, not only guarding the duty, but also collecting taxes by the way.

"Sir, why didn't we take advantage of the victory to pursue just now?" After walking out of the distance, one of the old team members quietly asked Townshend: "This group of homeless people is controlled by several gangs, the one that the chief just moved is not the biggest, they are few people, we have a chance." "+ Passion

"Don't worry, let's say hello first, and the show will be put later. Townsend smiled slightly: "There is a procedure for finding trouble, there are only three of us, and if we eat such a large piece of bread as soon as we get started, the intention is too obvious." ”

"But now that they're on the alert, will they band together against us?" said another veteran team member who was a little worried.

"If you hit xiǎo, the big ones will come out, you have to give them some time to prepare, and it's troublesome to clean up one by one. Walking to the side of the swordsman camp, Townsend took out his identification card to show the guards what he meant, and then was led directly inside.

As the heir of the Silver Sè Coast, Prince Pfister has his own direct armament, and the swordsman battalion is one of the more high-grade. As far as Townsend knew so far, the army loyal to Prince Pfister was only less than one-third of the entire army in Silvertao City.

To be honest, this is really not enough. Moreover, according to the information that Nong has come from Marcia in the past few days, the overall situation of Prince Pfister is not very good.

Earlier, Townsend was still wondering why the flags on the city were all Bo Tao Tridents, but the bottom was different. After Marcia's intelligence returned, he finally learned that each face on the banner represented a force within the Silver Sè Coast.

Only the azure sè represents the direct royal family, the crimson sè represents the senate, the tender green sè represents the political office, and there are some open sea and military systems...... Of all the forces, the Senate and the Council were the most stubborn and difficult to handle, and they were also the biggest resistance to Prince Pfister's sealing.

Even a character like Townsend frowned a little when he heard the news.

Because the prince had no political influence, let alone financial resources, throughout his youth, the Senate today is different from what it used to be, and it has changed from a coordinator of family affairs to a general strategist. That is, the Senate was exercising regency powers.

Although the Ministry of Public Affairs is still the specific executor of the decree, it has also not been idle, and has gradually withdrawn its administrative supervision power.

The two organizations had been mutually restrained since the time of the prince and his father, and now only the prince remained, so no one cared about it, and they gradually became close, and finally they simply colluded - this time, from the formulation of the strategy to the implementation of the details, they completely set the Prince of Pfister in the air.

If the nong is not good, even if the prince barely casts the seal, it will only be an ornament after coming to power.

What's even worse is that when Pfister's father died and Pfister himself was not an adult, the Senate had a direct army, and the government office also had a direct army, and together, both quantity and quality seemed to overwhelm the royal family.

This would explain why the Merlin Pass was in disrepair and the garrison was in a dilapidated state of armor - the old army was in the prince's name and was loyal. So the patriarch Yang and the political department don't love them.

During the time that Marcia followed Townsend, she had broadened her political horizons, and she had a relatively high opinion of Prince Pfister, which Townsend agreed. Those who can survive in the cracks are not ordinary goods

At least, Prince Pfister knew his strengths and could see the weaknesses of the other party, so on the one hand, he firmly grasped the Psychic Division's branch, and on the other hand, he focused on cultivating his own folk prestige, using this internal and external advantage to resist the pressure.

Taken together, the prince and his opponent were on par, and both sides pretended not to see what the other was doing, and got along calmly. But Townsend felt that this was only a superficial phenomenon, because time was on the prince's side, and as he grew older, the casting of seals would gradually become a necessity, and the popular voice of the West Coast would become stronger and stronger.

But the forces in charge of the Senate and the Government Council, are they willing to give up the power in their hands?

The current situation should only be the calm before the storm. The violent confrontation and even the final settlement method must have been written into the agenda of the two major forces, and once implemented, the scale will inevitably be very large.

Isn't this bloody wind a good opportunity for thorns and roses to muddy water?

Just thinking about it makes Townsend full of energy

As for the effort and cost he himself had to pay in the process, such as the current errand, he thought it was completely reasonable -- if you stand on the side of the street and watch a monkey show, you still have to pay money, how can you watch a political fight without breaking a sweat? As long as there is no bloodshed, it is a good deal

In the palace area of Yintao City, on the top floor of a towering spire, a xiǎonv child in a princess dress sat behind a tall desk holding a rag doll, and looked at the official document in front of him with the other hand.

The expression on her face was quite focused, quite serious, and very disproportionate to her actual age.

"My master. A humble voice rang out outside the mén: "I'm back." ”

"Come in, how are things going?" replied softly, picking up a fine pink pen and signing the official document, the handwriting handsome and elegant, but the content made people break out in a cold sweat.

The plan has been read and followed. Pfister, Aldrich, Connor, and Riches -- she was actually signing documents in the name of Prince of the Silver Sè Coast

"The parts I used to be responsible for are working well, and their preparations are well underway. The middle-aged man walked into the room with his head bowed and lowered his hand: "In addition, I also have information about Thorn Rose from this line. ”

“。 Xiǎonv picked up another official document.

"The Thorn Rose came from the far north not so long ago. They took the sea route, and the starting point was supposed to be the Xiǎo block near the Ronda Mountains. From that area over the hill, there was the Inner Andorran Alliance, and they had only one major incident recently, that is, the border town of Xavi, the border of the Principality of Yaxiu, was completely destroyed, and tens of thousands of people in the town died. ”

"The Radiant Church said that the Council of Dawn did this. The middle-aged man said, "But the Dawn Council itself has not made any statements. The people I buried in the Dawn Council didn't report it, and it is said that such a big action will at least have some rumors come out. ”

"Shouldn't the Dawn Council do something on the West Coast first if it has this kind of capital? Those crazy old men aren't stupid enough to go far and wide. Xiǎonv raised his eyes: "However, you mean that the people of Thorn Rose are related to Harvey Town?"

"Towngson, the leader of the Thorn Roses, is not from the West Coast, and the sister named Xiǎo is herself from the Andorran League, and some of them have a distinct Andorran Union accent. The middle-aged man nodded and said, "They only arrived at the Quelsa Plain in a simple self-built ship, and the time is roughly the same. There were a lot of xiǎo children, funv, and old people in the accompanying crowd, and this can also be true. ”

"The tribal alliance in the north of the Quelsa Plain was defeated by a group of old, weak, sick and disabled?Aren't those tribes strong?How many troops do they have?" Xiǎonv finally dropped the official document in her hand and put all her strength on the middle-aged man - the information she had received before was very brief, and there was no mention of the internal composition and background of the Thorn Rose, only that it was a successful battle between the inside and the outside.

"Thorn Rose was armed with less than a thousand at the time. The middle-aged man said: "Several tribes in the north of Quelsa have been recognized by the government department, and they are happily hunting for the Midsummer Festival, but they didn't expect the nest to be picked up by thorns and roses, and when they went back to save it, they carelessly fell into an ambush...... Thorn Rose immediately incorporated the people of the Wahu tribe and took down the other unconvinced tribes in one fell swoop. ”

"I can't see it, it's actually a man who can fight...... In other words, there are some people from the Wahu tribe in the Thorn Rose?"

――――The following does not count the number of words:

The night moon on the weekend is dark and the wind is high, and the xiǎo who quarrels with others will definitely not be able to get up tomorrow morning. So this is an automatic update. (laughs.)
