Chapter 547: Sticks and Carrots
The so-called diplomacy is mostly a big stick in one hand and a carrot in the other, usually the first to move is always a big stick, because giving people carrots to eat first is likely to make people look down on themselves, and the big stick in the future will not have much effect. 【Reading.com】
Alice pursued a similar policy, and in Moreau, her killing spree was much more modest. Of course, the situation of Moro Province is very different from other provinces, Moro Province borders the Mao Empire, plus the homeland is difficult to leave, some are reluctant to leave, some are too late to leave, and most of the nobles stay in their fiefdoms, which is inevitably mixed.
After learning about the situation in the province of Morrow, many nobles were frightened and fled to the city of diamonds, and as for that bit of family business, it was really powerless, and even couldn't save their lives, what was the point of the family business?
Alice frequently held drinking parties, her own purpose was to dispel the estrangement and strangeness between the two sides, and to get acquainted with each other as soon as possible, in the words of the other world, this is called a united front. Alice's efforts paid off, and the atmosphere of the reception seemed to be very harmonious, whether it was the generals of the Mao Empire or the nobles of the Shining Sand Province, they were all talking and laughing in a low voice. The desire of the nobles of the Shining Sand Province is to occupy their own place in this new world, and they cannot be abandoned by the times, and there is no personal enmity between the generals of the Ma Empire and the other party...... Even His Majesty Yolande didn't pursue the past, and they didn't need to forget that there were multiple friends and multiple paths, and everyone understood this truth.
Anfei leaned against the railing of his balcony and observed the crowd below. His eyesight was very good, and when he saw Dogger Mingzhe coming out of the backyard, he couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't Dogge Mingzhe very much hate to attend banquets? Why is he here today?"
"I guess I'm going to pave the way for his students. Suzanne said softly.
"Yes, you understand this?"
"You think people are fools?!" Suzanne gave An Fei a blank look.
An Fei just wanted to speak. I saw Beeri appear behind Dogmingzhe: "Marshal Beeri is also here!"
"At dusk. Alice sent for Marshal Béerry. It seems that they are going to have the students of Dogger Mingzhe hand over the information to Marshal Bairry in person. ”
"Looks like you're right, Dogge Mingzhe is really paving the way for his students. An Fei smiled and said, "Since we entered the Shining Sand Empire, Dogger Mingzhe has never made a move, believe it or not? Hehe...... At first, Dogger Mingzhe remained silent, probably because he was worried that what he had done might make Edward VIII lose his mind and anger other students. ”
"It's not easy for him, as a great magician, he has to do something he doesn't want to do. Suzanne understood what Anfei meant, and when the time came, Dorge Mingzhe would not only help. Or make a big effort so that he can pave a golden strip for his students.
"I can understand how the teacher treats us? An Fei smiled: "What's more, his betrayal has brought danger to his students, so that he has been under house arrest for so long, and he feels guilty, of course, he has to try his best to make amends." ”
That's when it happened. Alice appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and beside her there were five or six people in magic robes, old and small, who surrounded Alice like stars holding the moon, and Alice was very affectionate towards them, laughing and laughing from time to time.
"They are the students of Dogger. Suzanne saw it too.
Alice was also a student of Dogger, and it seems that they had known each other for a long time. An Fei suddenly frowned: "I'm a little strange. When Alice was forced to marry into the land of mercenaries. Why didn't they come out to help Alice?"
"Maybe it's not in the City of Diamonds, or ...... Because people are soft-spoken. They stepped up, but nothing worked. ”
The arrival of the protagonist made the atmosphere of the reception more enthusiastic.,From time to time, there are nobles who come forward to greet Alice.,Always very polite in return.,And then introduce the people around you.,According to An Fei's calculations,From the courtyard gate to the center of the venue,Alice was stopped more than 20 times in total.,The same words should have been said more than 20 times.。 In front of him, Dogge Mingzhe was also surrounded by people, but today's Dogge Mingzhe seems to be very amiable, and his spirit is also very strong, and he talks and laughs with the people around him.
In comparison, Béeri was left out in the cold, as the first person in the military of the Mao Empire and the marshal of the Empire, his usable value was far above that of Alice and Dogge Mingzhe at this moment, but the nobles of the Shining Sand Province did not dare to be reckless and recklessly hooked up with Béeri, and for the generals of the Mao Empire, they stepped forward to block the marshal's way and say some innocuous nonsense, isn't that looking for death?
The full-text version of the novel is faster to read and update, all in support of literary support! Beierry's surroundings have become a no-man's land, seeing Beierry approaching the sand province, the nobles retreated to the side with smiling faces, and the general of the Maao Empire stood tall and waited for Beeri to walk by, and hurriedly slipped aside.
"The master is out, you won't go down?" asked Suzanne softly.
"What am I going down for?" An Fei shook his head and said, "I'm here to eat." ”
"Those elves are really ......," Suzanne showed a helpless look: "I heard that there is a slave market here, tomorrow I will go around and buy you two real maids, those elves will not take care of people at all." ”
"Forget it. An Fei looked at Suzanne with a smile: "When the time comes, my heart will soften and let people go, although your husband is very rich now, can you afford to buy all the slaves on the entire Big 6?"
Susanna's face flushed, when An Fei was just made an earl, someone blew the wind in her ear, saying that An Fei was already a master, and there were few people around to wait, which seemed too shabby, Suzanne thought about it, and people were right, of course, she didn't need others to take care of the maid in the diet and daily life, just serve tea, pour water, clean up the house, and when she was not by An Fei's side, there were also people waiting for An Fei. Suzanne then went to the market in Violet City and bought a maid for Anfei. Out of curiosity, I asked about the girl's background, and only then did I know that the girl turned out to be from the Ma O Empire, and was captured by the army of the Shining Sand Empire, and later was caught by the soldiers of the Ma O Empire, and she said that she was from the Ma O Empire, who knew that the soldiers told her to shut up and threatened to kill her if she talked nonsense, and finally she was sold back as a woman from the Shining Sand Empire.
There are black sheep everywhere, and those soldiers just want to get more pay from the quartermaster, so they don't care about anything, which is really hateful.
Susanna felt sympathetic and learned that the girl was a resident of the city of Blacknia, so she gave the girl a few gold coins and let her go, and the so-called slave contract was torn up by Suzanne on the spot.
After going back and talking to An Fei about the matter, An Fei laughed and then Suzanne was going to buy it again, An Fei stopped her, and said that no one in the world wants to be a slave, every slave has his own history of blood and tears, since he put the first one, there will definitely be a second and a third, there is no need to buy it, and he likes the world of two people and doesn't want others to disturb them. Suzanne liked and agreed with what An Fei said, so she broke off the idea of buying a maid, but now that the two of them mentioned the old story again, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Aren't they good for you?" said Suzanne airily.
"Don't be angry. An Fei hugged Susanna's waist with one hand and pinched Susanna's cheek with the other: "Marshal Beeri has seen us." ”
Hearing the previous sentence, Suzanne was still looking at An Fei with a coquettish face, and after hearing the latter sentence, she hurriedly broke out of An Fei's arms and looked down sideways, and sure enough, Beeri was looking at herself with a smile, Suzanne was ashamed and ashamed, and said: "You are going to die......!
In a moment, Beeri was already standing on the balcony: "Anfei, why don't you two go down?"
"It's good to be here. An Fei smiled: "My lord...... Can those students be trusted?"
"It doesn't matter, Edward VIII can't play any tricks anyway, he can only defend the city of diamonds. Beeri suddenly frowned: "But...... The City of Diamonds has a total of twenty-two mage towers, and Edward VIII's court mage regiment has not participated in the battle, so there is no loss, and if he is bent on being a turtle with a shrunken head, it will be a bit of a headache, at least until winter comes, we will not be able to capture the City of Diamonds. Anfei, how lucky are your ideas, is there any way to do it?"
"My lord, what can I do?" An Fei smiled bitterly, "Last time I proposed to assassinate Sejialan, but it dragged you down, and I have been ...... now."
"Don't say that. Beriri waved his hand: "No one thought that Sejialan would have the Ring of Immortality, it was just an accident, why didn't you dare to speak because of an accident?!"
"I don't know how to fight, what can I come up with?" An Fei shrugged his shoulders, "But if you need me to cut someone, just speak well, and I'll cut where you point."
"Huh...... I'm not asking you to say right now, think slowly, we still have two months. Béeri couldn't help but laugh and slapped An Fei hard.
Beerry's laughter attracted attention, and when he looked up, Beeri was talking to a pair of young men affectionately, and since the burial of the dragonman Kremlin, Anfei had been very low-key lately, and those nobles didn't know Anfei, whispering and guessing something.
