。 Feldnan asked straight to the point, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

You know what happened tonight, and I'm going to trouble those people in the Sunnah, so I'll use the Black Rose. Evanian's answer was succinct.

Feldnan frowned: "Didn't you say before that it's not suitable to move them now?"

"It really wasn't right to move them before. Evan Ian admitted, "With Daddy here, these people are just grasshoppers no matter how much they jump, but the people behind the grasshoppers are not grasshoppers, and the reason why they can't do anything with these grasshoppers before is because they want to show the people behind the grasshoppers." ”

"Before tonight, we knew what the grasshoppers were up to, but the grasshoppers and the people behind them didn't know that we knew, so we had to pretend we didn't know. But now, since the grasshopper has already moved, then if we pretend that we don't know, the grasshopper will notice something strange and find that we don't actually know, but pretend not to know. Therefore, we also have to pretend not to know at the beginning, to pretend that we know now, so that the other party has the illusion that we already know, but we are just pretending to understand, but in fact we don't know at all and we don't know. ”

Feldnan was not confused by Evan's tongue twister-like words, but quickly sorted out what he meant: "In other words, fight back now, just to let those people understand that as long as I am in White Rose City for a day, they must not act rashly for a day." This gives them the illusion that we have no awareness of their existence, and that as soon as I am gone, and I have lost my greatest suppressive power, they can act as they please, in the shadows, to lower their vigilance?"

"Well, that's it. Evanian nodded and confirmed Ferdinand's statement: "We are in the light, they are in the dark, this is the greatest source of security in their hearts, if they suddenly find out that it is actually us in the dark, and it is actually them who are illuminated by the light of the Golden Lock of Ravens, then this play will not need to be sung, and it will be a lot of trouble out of thin air." So it's not a bad thing to knock on the church side ahead of time. ”

Feldnan briefly pondered: "...... Now that you've thought it through, I don't need to say anything more, but let me ask you - how much do you plan to make a move?"

"There are about three hundred people from the Sunnah place, most of them are church knights, a few armed priests, scattered in three strongholds, I want to catch one den, alarm one den, if the rest of the people run to the last den to hide, then the situation is the best. ”

Ferdinand nodded, then suddenly asked, "Those two priests, are you going to use them to make a trick?"

"Hmm. "Since we captured both of them, it's not surprising that we know where they're hiding, and a little bit of stress will give them the illusion that we don't actually know anything, just revenge for revenge." ”

"Then do you want to send the crows over to cooperate?" Feldenan thought for a moment and found that there might be some problems with tactics, "Now there are only a dozen people in Jemat's hands, and with only the strength that the Black Rose Election Company can use now, there are too few people, and it is really impossible to catch them all without missing a beat." ”

"No need. Evan Ian shook his head, his original plan was not to pack and take away, "Run, run, if you want them to have the illusion, the number of arrests must not be too many, you have to make them feel that this is a warning that Daddy gave them casually." However, if the number of people is too small, the guys in the Sunh Station will not have any mediocre skills, and with the strength of the white crows, it will inevitably cause casualties, so they will not send the white crows at all. From now on, the strength in my hands can die one less, and maybe it will be the last straw that breaks the camel's back in the future. ”

“...... So be it. Hearing this, Ferdinand was silent for a short time, and finally sighed, "But time does pass too fast, it's only been a few years, and it's time for you to spread your wings to the entire empire......"

"If you can really control the situation during the time I left Nanling, then I don't have to worry about whether you, the Grand Duke, will be able to sit firmly in the future. Ferdinand took out a silver token from his bosom, "Although it is said that tigers do not eat children, but eagles can also push young eagles off cliffs......"

"Alright, alright. Evanian shook his hand impatiently, interrupting Feldnan's nagging, "Isn't that what I used to convince you? As soon as the Mulin Festival is over, you and Aunt Shirley and Ellier will set off, and during your time in Yanjing, I will clean up the backyard......"

"Evan...... You are really similar to your mother......" Ferdinand looked at his son in front of him, a little relieved, but also a little helpless, the famous Imperial God of War will only lose repeatedly in front of his family, "Tell me honestly, after I leave, how sure are you to control the situation in White Rose City?"

Evan Ian looked at Feldnan's serious eyes, and couldn't help but become a little serious: "To be honest, I don't know much about it, after all, this is a counterattack that the entire Nanling has suppressed for ten years, but even if you are not sure, you can only do this, I have analyzed with you before, this time, the real root of the crisis of the Silver Rose family does not come from within Nanling, but from the attitude of Emperor Yanjing." ”

"You have also said before that the noble family of my silver rose is the head of the hundred flower crowns, beating the other nine emperor electors, and becoming one of the four major dukes, but it is not for nothing, and all by virtue of the emperor's trust and the need for power checks and balances. ”

"Because our clan is a black-blooded person, we are naturally hostile to the church forces, and if we lose the protection of the imperial power, then we will be broken and wiped out, so in the confrontation between the church and the imperial power, the successive emperors can regard the silver rose family as their confidants, and spare no effort to support our clan against other pro-church aristocratic forces. Even the arduous task of crossing the towering Nanling Mountains and conquering the Nanling Basin and the Dragon Song Empire, the reason why the Silver Rose family was sent instead of the other three dukes was simply because of the 'trust' of His Majesty the previous emperor in our clan. ”

"The trust of strength, the trust of force, the trust of military law, and the trust of loyalty, these four are indispensable, and loyalty is especially important. ”

Evanian bit the word "loyalty."

"But today's Nanling, Guotai and Min'an, build factories, arm the new army, and absorb outstanding talents from all walks of life to gather in White Rose City. In terms of strength, there are 40 percent of the tax revenue of the whole empire, in terms of force, there are you, the father of the three great war gods of the empire, and in terms of the army, there are 200,000 imperial Nanling regiments and 30,000 new model troops. Loyalty, only loyalty, across the Nanling Mountains, far away from the empire, did not rise but fall, which made the emperor feel worried. ”

"The rapid rise of Nanling, a new territory of the Empire, is both an opportunity and a crisis for our people. Speaking of this, Evan Ian paused, "The opportunity is that with the rich and powerful Nanling as the backing, the Silver Rose family can compete with the Holy Capital, and the crisis is that when the Silver Rose Family obtains the South Ridge, the capital that can fight the greatest enemy of the Holy Capital on an equal footing, the emperor's unconditional trust in our clan will also collapse and waver. Half a year ago, the Nanling rebels in the southern part of Nanling, as well as Nandorn and Honglin counties, were recuperating and recuperating, and they were growing stronger, so the emperor could still hold back the suspicion in his heart and sit on the wall and watch, but when the fact that my new model army marched 130 miles in 70 days and defeated the enemy of the Nanling royal family in this century was announced to the world, it shocked the world, and it was also shaken by His Majesty the Emperor himself......"

"At present, what His Majesty the Emperor needs most now is a booster, not a straw to break his doubts. Evanian concluded, and then he continued, "Therefore, Nanling must be in turmoil again, and you, my father, must also go to Yanjing to meet him once at the invitation of His Majesty the Emperor on this birthday, so that His Majesty can calm down and confirm that after not seeing each other for seven years, your loyalty to him is still evident and undiminished." ”

At this point, Evan Ian can finally answer Feldennan's previous question: "Therefore, chaos, Nanling will inevitably be chaotic, and it is a great chaos that shocks the entire empire, as for whether the situation can be controlled at that time, I dare not say that I am completely sure." It's just that I'm afraid that when you return, my lord, the pressure on Nanling from all walks of life will disappear for some reason. And without the support of the outside world, the rebel forces on all sides will inevitably not last long, after all, compared to a self-caring Nanling Taishou, His Majesty the Emperor needs a loyal courtier who can help him deter the Holy Capital and the other three Emperor Electors Grand Dukes. Therefore, when the time comes, you can take a bold and bold move to cut off all the puss exposed in the chaos in Nanling, and in this way, I can assure you that the peace in Nanling will never be shaken for at least seventy years in the future. ”

Listening to Evan Ian's words, Feldnan's index finger tapped lightly on the arm of the chair, and his sword eyebrows were deeply twisted: "Evan I don't understand, I can understand what His Majesty the Emperor means, but I can't understand how Evan you plan to persuade him to give up pressure on Nanling. From my point of view, His Majesty's meaning is very simple, he just needs someone from the Silver Rose family to go to Yanjing, me, or you. I go, maybe Your Majesty can trust Nanling for another five years. But His Majesty's real wish may be to have a good talk with you, Evan, the next head of the Ian family. ”

"Daddy......" Hearing Feldnan's words, Evanian's expression was calm, "You and I are also in two places, do you think I have a better chance of surviving when I was assassinated in that unfamiliar place in Yanjing, or when I was cowering in the shell of the Duke's Palace, watching the assassin spin around like a headless fly outside the door?"

"So don't be stupid, Daddy. Evan Ian said softly, "As long as you and I are separated, they will have a chance to assassinate me, whether it is in Nanling or Yanjing, I will be their assassination target." They were borrowing from His Majesty the Emperor's doubts, and His Majesty the Emperor was not borrowing from their hostility to the Silver Rose. ”

"So, Daddy, your idea is not feasible, it's better to leave it up to me......" Looking at Feldnan, Evanian finally made a conclusion, and then seemed to suddenly remember, "By the way, Daddy, if you meet Your Majesty in Yanjing at that time, then please greet him on my behalf and convey a word-"

"'If I had the chance, I would definitely go to the Empire to meet him, but this is not the time. ’”

Feldnan listened silently, and finally let out a long sigh: "You go." ”

Looking at the back of Evan Ian's departure, Ferdinand smiled bitterly.

"'Go' to the Empire......"

Since when did his son no longer regard Nanling as a part of the empire at all?

No, maybe from the very beginning, in Evan's mind, the empire and the South Ridge were purely two completely different concepts.
