Chapter 4 Favorite Lies

Feng Luo firmly remembered the words of the old butler, said more good things, and praised the wisdom of everyone. Timely is a defeat, and you have to find various reasons.

For example, sudden changes in the weather are not war crimes. For example, the plague broke out, and the combat effectiveness decreased. For example, the sudden arrival of enemy reinforcements disrupts your own deployment. There is really no reason, it is that the other party is despicable and shameless, taking advantage of our leniency and benevolence.

Feng Luo somewhat understood Spark's helplessness, having such a group of ministers in the rear was more terrifying than double the enemy army. Although there was suspicion among the commanders of the regiment and slackness in combat, they would not back down at critical moments. These people are clearly helping the enemy army.

Could it be that the ministers are very shallow? Feng Luo re-examined everyone with doubts and made new discoveries. Most people are indeed short-sighted, and do not see the difficulties of war because they have experienced it firsthand. There are a small number of people, not out of sight.

For example, the Marquis of Bemeth often had a smile on his face. Whenever he threw out a sentence and others quoted scriptures for his words, he seemed to be forced to laugh. It wasn't a smug or contented laugh, it was a mockery.

He felt that he was playing everyone around, leading them with a thin thread, playing with them like fools.

In addition to the Marquis of Bemez, several others would also show similar expressions. When others are not paying attention, I think about some questions. When everyone couldn't stop laughing, they also laughed and praised a few words.

Feng Luo couldn't understand the purpose of these people, maybe they really wanted to lead the topic, or maybe because everyone thought and said so, they had to follow the conversation.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, it is effortless to defeat the Haori army. The Davao army is like a rising sun that will melt the enemy army like a fragile block of ice.

Feng Luo racked his brains to find out the merits of the other party's words, and skillfully patted the sycophants. These are also explained by the old housekeeper before. If you want to have a place in the kingdom, you must say disgusting things and get along with disgusting people.

The feast lasted nearly an hour before it ended. Because it belongs to a family banquet, it is not very exact, and it belongs to the casual exchange between everyone.

Marquis Bemeth showed fatigue and asked the housekeeper to send everyone out, but only stopped Feng Luo: "Baron Feng Luo is from the front line, right?

The other party requested like this, and Feng Luo naturally couldn't refuse. What's more, the old butler had explained that he wanted to get closer to the Marquis of Bemeth.

"The marquis commanded, I am honored to be here, I don't know who the marquis's descendants are?" Feng Luo replied with a slight smile, as if he was talking to an ordinary old man.

"Nice young man, he will definitely be able to do great things in the future!" Marquis Bemeth smiled heartily, "You old fellow, you have always had a vicious eye, I'm afraid this young man's achievements are still above Spark!"

The old butler and Bemeth knew each other, Feng Luo had expected it, but he didn't expect their relationship to be so close. He didn't turn his head, but secretly became more interested in the true identity of the old butler.

There were no outsiders, and the old butler also found a place to sit down. The Marquis of Bemeth commanded to bring a cup of tea, which was exactly the specification for entertaining VIPs.

The old butler drank his tea, and Bemeth left him to dry and asked about the situation in Foottown. Including the number of troops in Fute City, the specific types of troops, the deployment, the structure of the city's defense, and the number of residents in the city, etc., are all asked in detail.

It is hard to imagine that this marquis, whose eyes sparkled and had a unique insight into military affairs, was talking nonsense with the same group of people a moment ago. He loudly declared that the Haori army was like a chicken and a dog, and that it would soon collapse.

Regarding the situation of Haori's army, Bemeth also asked and verified his conjecture. From his targeted questioning, Feng Luo sensed that the Davao Nation was actually very well prepared for Haori's attack, at least in terms of intelligence.

Finally, Bemeth asked about Fengluo, mainly about his territory and what he had done during the war. Feng Luo described it in general, and the details were rough and rough. Even so, it was almost evening.

"Feng Luo, when you see the king the day after tomorrow, you will say more things that everyone is willing to listen to, just like today. When Bemeth sent them out, he gave them a special advice.

Feng Luo frowned and said, "Blindly saying good things and concealing unfavorable things, isn't it lying about the military situation? Who should be responsible for delaying a major event?"

Hearing this, Bemeth smiled instead and said, "After all, you are still young and don't understand some things. We don't say, do you think the king doesn't know? The secret agents of the kingdom, although they cannot reach the point of being pervasive, can still spy on major wars. ”

Seeing that Feng Luo still didn't understand, Bemeth continued to explain: "It's not an urgent matter, we have to wait a few days before we report it to the king, and the secret agents often inform the king before us. It's just that the two sides understand different emphases. ”

The old butler, fearing that Feng Luo would continue to pester Bemeth, said: "The news sent by the subjects is a supplement, and it is also the basis for the king to judge whether his subordinates are loyal or not. ”

"Telling lies, loyalty to the king?" Feng Luo asked, puzzled.

The old butler patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's not a lie, it's something he likes to hear." Because he knows the real situation, it is not a lie. Unless the king asks about the situation, you will tell the truth. ”

There are people who know it's a lie, but they still like to hear it. There are also people who know that the lie will be recognized, but they still speak with relish.

Strange country!Feng Luo came to a conclusion.

Feng Luo didn't continue to think about the problem of falsehood next, the strange country did not perish, naturally there was a reason for its existence. As a baron, the first thing to think about is to get more of the last time and take care of your territory.

I spent the evening in cultivation, and when I rested in the middle, I accompanied the little lion for a while. When he came to Midu City, he didn't dare to let the little lion go out to swagger. Back then, in Silver Leaf Castle, Xiaobai could attract gentlemen, not to mention that this is a metropolis.

The next day, the old butler stopped sending him out and asked the coachman to send him over. The attitude of the ceremonial officer was very different from the previous day, and he was very respectful. A cultivation genius who has not yet been recruited by the great forces will definitely be relied on by the king.

In essence, the royal family is no different from other sects or large families, except that they are stronger. However, the worldly material comforts make the children of the royal family indulge in pleasure and have a tendency to gradually disappear. Recruiting people from elsewhere is not so easy.

The genius of the sect and the clan itself will definitely not be snatched away. Potential cultivators who were born in commoners were also caught early. There are very few fish that have slipped through the net by the royal family.

The ceremonial officer had heard some royal secrets, and knew that there were still people in the royal family who were highly cultivated, but they were all very old. Among the younger generation, there is a lack of weighty people. Before the old guys die, no successor has been found, and the decline of the royal family is almost inevitable.
