Chapter 334: An alliance that will go down in history
Hearing Tang Jie's words, the countess lifted the hat that covered her head and face, revealed her long hair, and said with a smile: "What, you're not welcome?"
Tang Jie smiled: "No, I just sighed, I have touched something recently, my troubles and enemies have come to the door one after another, just left a Ka Miaoluo, and you came." Sure enough, it is a blessing, and the disaster is not a single line. ”
"Presumptuous!" said Carl Porter, furious, "how dare you be rude to Madame!"
Tang Jie smiled: "I said, this was the last time you troubled me, this time you can change the sentence?"
A flash of light flashed in Carl Potter's eyes, and he was about to move when Margaret stopped him with a hand across his chest.
Margaret smiled and said, "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world. We may have had a grudge for some reason, but we may also have formed an alliance for some reason, and besides, didn't you say that I had to come in person to show sincerity?"
As she spoke, the Countess walked slowly two steps, came to the door, and said leisurely: "Now, it's time for you to show your sincerity, if you say a word, I'll turn around and leave immediately!"
Tang Jie looked at the countess with fixed eyes, and Angel and the others on the side didn't even dare to breathe more, because they knew how important Tang Jie's decision was at this moment!
After a while, Tang Jie suddenly smiled, stretched out a hand, and saluted elegantly like a gentleman, and said, "Am I such a rude person?"
Margaret smiled, untied the rope of the robe on her chest, and took off the wide black robe on her body with both hands behind her back.
Karl behind her took her robe in his hand and walked in with him.
Although Angel and Fiona are both stunning beauties, and Christina is also a charming beauty, as soon as the countess came in, when Tang Jie took off this stiff and rigid black robe, he really had a feeling that the room was full of spring and his eyes lit up.
The Countess wore a casual blue and white lady's gown, unlike the puffy skirts worn at balls, with a very narrow waistline and an extremely wide hem.
Margaret's body is very similar to the world before Tang Jie's travel, the casual long skirt worn by women on the street, but although it is casual clothes, it can be worn on this world-famous countess, but it still looks dignified and noble, generous and decent.
Above all, the dress she wore revealed a very important message: the woman did not seem to have been carefully dressed when she arrived here, perhaps because she was on time, or perhaps she was deliberate.
Margaret entered the room, and the dark green eyes of the room turned around, and first nodded to Angel: "Aha, Your Highness Angel, we met again, I didn't expect that we would meet again in this place, life is really wonderful, isn't it?"
Angel also smiled politely and reservedly: "It's true, the last time Madame specially invited us to go back, we refused, now that I think about it, it's really rude." ”
Two beautiful and intelligent women are arguing with each other, secretly tricking themselves, one is sarcastic that the other party was once the princess-to-be of the Pound Empire, but the other points out in the subtext that the other party once sent pursuers to hunt her and Tang Jie, now at this time, at that time.
Of course, Margaret could hear Angel's words, she smiled slightly, she didn't care about the victory or defeat between the words, turned her head and smiled at Fiona: "Your Highness Fiona, how long has it been since we last met?"
It was not the first time that Fiona had seen this woman who held the powerful power of the Kelsman family, and she nodded politely, and said lukewarmly: "It seems like a century has passed, honorable countess." ”
Tang Jie saw that as soon as Margaret entered the house, he would talk with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and the atmosphere of the room and the initiative of words were immediately grasped by this woman, his heart moved, and he said: "I think you should know that at this time, you have your enemies organizing an attack on you behind your back, and I also have my enemies brewing a storm against me in private, if you have the leisure to talk about family life here, I can accompany you to talk until you don't want to talk, how about it?"
Margaret smiled slightly, but glanced quickly at Angel, Fiona, Christina, and Rogge in the room.
Tang Jie seemed to see through her meaning, and said: "If you have anything to say, just say it, there are no outsiders here." ”
Margaret nodded: "Your Excellency, according to your meaning, do you mean that you have already agreed to the previous covenant?"
Tang Jie smiled: "Promise? Do I have a word that says this? Until now, I don't know what the specific covenant is, let alone what kind of cooperation we will have in the future, or how to cooperate, to put it bluntly, what do you ask me to do, and what can you do for me?"
Margaret smiled, didn't rush to answer, and nodded to Rogge on the side: "I want a thirty-year-old Chivas Regal, thank you!"
Rogge was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that a dignified deputy captain of the Royal Guard would be regarded as a servant, but he looked left and right, and found that no matter who was thrown out here, it was a scary character, so he had to smile bitterly and go out to act as a temporary servant.
After Margaret finished speaking, she sat down on a soft single sofa, her posture was bewitching and charming, and she continued: "Actually, it is not a very complicated matter for the two forces to form an alliance, but at the moment this matter is complicated because I represent the interests of the Kelsman family, and my enemies also represent the interests of the Kelsman family. As a family, they absolutely do not want to see a powerful pirate king rise again on the ocean......"
“...... However, I can clear a lot of obstacles to your rise. Margaret said, smiling at Tang Jie, "How about this proposal?"
Tang Jie slapped his face: "Very good, very good proposal, but it's the same as not saying it!"
Tang Jie raised his fingers one by one: "First, how does the alliance between us ensure that we will not be betrayed? Second, once I finish what I helped you, how can you help me? Or, how do you reciprocate? Third, will the alliance between us still count afterwards?"
The Countess thought for a moment, raised three fingers, and then curled one finger in response: "First, there is always a risk in such a thing as an alliance, and if it is for the coldest of the laws of interest, you don't have to worry about my betrayal before helping me solve my enemies, because I am committing suicide by doing so, and second, once you have solved my problem, then you will find that you have also gone through your most difficult difficulties......"
Tang Jie interrupted the countess's words: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of interjecting, what do you mean by this?"
Margaret looked at Tang Jie and said with a smile: "My captain, aren't you worried that the longer you delay here, the sooner your Alcatraz Island will fall?
Tang Jie sneered: "You don't have to scare me, the naval power of the Sheila Empire is almost crippled, once they are transferred out of the Invincible Armada, the navy of this country will become an empty shell, and their coastal defense line will become a piece of waste paper that can be broken at the first poke! The emperor of the Shila Empire dares to send their only naval force to conquer Alcatraz Island at this time?"
Margaret smiled: "Very good inference, but you have to pay attention to the fact that even if the Sila Empire does not send a fleet, those within the Kelsman family who are targeting me are planning a large-scale naval battle with the aim of destroying all your forces on Alcatraz Island." Once this war breaks out, you will find yourself in an awkward position where it is difficult to balance the beginning and the end. ”
"If you can take care of this one, you can't take care of the other one......" said the Countess with a slight sarcasm, "my captain, you are not strong enough to fight at the same time on two huge continents and two vast oceans!"
As she spoke, Margaret changed the subject and came back again: "What's more...... I have to remind you that the Emperor of the Sheila Empire, this man, but one of the most adventurous emperors in the world, will appear on Alcatraz when the Armada appears, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
Tang Jie's heart shook violently, what Margaret said was what he was worried about, as a pirate king with infinite scenery on the surface, of course he knew that his current expansion speed was too fast, so that the development of strength did not keep up at all, once someone hit the weakness, and as long as he fought a defeat, then everything he worked hard for would become a terrible avalanche, and it would come to naught in an instant!
But despite the fierce turmoil in his heart, Tang Jie's face remained unchanged, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he asked rhetorically: "Then should I thank you for giving me such a precious opportunity?"
Margaret laughed, "You don't have to deliberately say anything back to me, yes, I admit that I'm in even worse shape than you, at least you're fighting against your enemies, and I'm fighting against my own people." However, we should be thankful that our enemies are all on the same page, and that brings me to my third point. ”
Margaret curled up her last finger: "As for whether our covenant will continue once you and I have passed this difficult time?" I think it doesn't depend on any verbal agreement between us, because I think you also know that the alliance between two huge interest groups like ours is definitely not something that I and you can decide at once, and once the agreement between me and you undermines the interests of the main group behind us, then you and I will be forced by them to change our minds!"
Tang Jie sneered and asked, "So, what does it depend on?
Margaret smiled and said, "It certainly depends on our enemies, and on our interests! If our enemies are too strong for either of us to deal with alone, then our alliance will continue, and if we both have the same interests, then I will not find the possibility of breaking the covenant." ”
Tang Jie asked rhetorically: "So, can I understand that once the two assumptions you just said are just opposite, then the covenant between us will immediately come to naught?"
Margaret smiled and swirled with her index finger, "There are no eternal friends, and there are no eternal enemies, do they?"
As she spoke, Rogge had already brought up a wine tray with not only the wine Margaret had wanted, but also red wine, brandy, and Tom Jie's favorite rum.
Tang Jie reached out and took a glass of wine, and then continued Margaret's words just now: "...... Only eternal benefits. Cheers, for the sake of profit!"
The Countess raised her glass gracefully: "Cheers, for the sake of an alliance! I have reason to believe that this is an alliance that will go down in history." ”
After speaking, she drank all the wine in the cup, her cheeks quickly flew red, and she smiled and said to Tang Jie: "Before we officially form an alliance, in order to express my sincerity again, I can send you a gift." ”
Tang Jie smiled: "So generous? What kind of gift?"
The Countess played with the empty wine glass in her hand and said, "About the whereabouts of Emperor Garcis of the Falco Empire and your captured lady-in-waiting, Donnie......"
