Long Zhanyun's words made Fang Ruitao's heart move, and this was also something he was worried about. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 After all, if Emperor Long Chenguang had a bad feeling for him, he could still find many excuses to rectify him, unless his power reached a point where even the emperor would not dare to shake it easily.

Looking at Long Zhanyun with an anxious face, he knew that he couldn't keep everyone out, that would make him completely isolated politically. He raised his head and said to Long Zhanyun, "I don't know what opinion His Royal Highness has. ”

Hearing the loosening in Fang Ruitao's tone, a glimmer of hope rose in Long Zhanyun's heart: "I think the best way for Brother Fang to protect himself now is nothing more than to form an alliance, and I think Lord Chen Zhenghao is a natural ally." ”

Fang Ruitao secretly said that the text was here, and after encouraging himself for so long, didn't he still hope to win himself over to form an alliance with Chen Zhenghao? This is equivalent to joining his camp, in the final analysis, it is better to let himself participate in the struggle for the position, which is what he tries his best to avoid.

"The Duke and I have a very personal relationship, but alliances with local forces are more likely to be suspicious of Your Majesty. Fang Ruitao, without offending Chen Zhenghao, was tantamount to indirectly rejecting Long Zhanyun's request for an alliance.

"Alliances can be secret, everyone knows how to help each other. Those lords who were good friends with Lord Chen also did not officially announce an alliance or any agreement. Long Zhanyun fought hard, hoping to strengthen his power.

Fang Ruitao laughed secretly in his heart, Long Zhanyun was still a little immature, and he didn't grasp his sore spot at all. As for this alliance without a covenant, it is not binding at all. The other small power lords were controlled by Chen Zhenghao, and there were many places that needed to rely on the power of Guqi City, so Chen Zhenghao was naturally very relieved about them.

Fang Ruitao is different, now whether it is military strength, territorial area or financial strength, Fang Ruitao and Chen Zhenghao are at the same level. An ally who is not under his control, and does not have the burden of an alliance, once he succeeds in putting Long Zhanyun on the throne, he will definitely turn his face. At that time, Chen Zhenghao has supported Long Zhanyun for many years, and the two have some nepotism, so they are naturally complicit, won't they be isolated, and Fang Ruitao will not do this kind of loss-making business.

Fang Ruitao sat there smiling silently, obviously waiting for Long Zhanyun to give benefits. How about the personal relationship between the two, it is a personal relationship, and Fang Ruitao will not mix even a trace of personal feelings in front of business. In this era when a few people have absolute power to live and die, the defeat of the political struggle means the slaughter of all the people, so there must be no element of mercy in it.

Seeing Fang Ruitao like this, Long Zhanyun naturally knew what he was going to do, and he hurriedly said, "I know that such an alliance will make Brother Fang feel unsafe, but this is also something that there is no way to do. Now that the Shouyang territory is strong and wealthy, I don't have any greeting gifts. How can this be? The high-end force in Shouyang Territory is relatively poor now, and it is easy to be attacked by enemy masters, maybe I can ask Lord Chen Zhenghao to support Brother Fang's group of masters. In order to strengthen his bargaining chips, Long Zhanyun added: "This includes at least five War Emperor masters and three Demon Guide Fire Refiners, and as for the War King and Fire Refiner-level masters, there will be no less than fifty." ”

Fang Ruitao's heart moved when he heard this, he didn't covet these masters. Nowadays, although there are not many masters in the Shouyang territory, there is room for god-making, as long as he is given enough time, the masters can be mass-produced, and today's Demon Wolf Commando is a role model. What's more, these masters are Chen Zhenghao's people after all, if there is any conflict between the two sides in the future, it is already very good that these people don't make trouble for him, how can they help him.

The reason why Fang Ruitao was moved was because he wanted to put these people into the school that was ready to be built, and if there was such a group of people, it would definitely make his school construction work much easier. Fang Ruitao naturally wouldn't be tempted by such a little condition, he pretended to be contemplative and paused for a while, and suddenly said: "If I can bring Zhu Yunmei City Lord's Luoyu City over, I don't know what higher conditions His Highness intends to give me." ”

As soon as Fang Ruitao's words came out, Long Zhanyun was overjoyed. Zhu Yunmei had long wanted to win him over, but Luo Yucheng had been ignoring him, if Fang Ruitao could pull her into his camp, it was estimated that his strength would immediately rise, even if he fought against the two brothers in the court, there would be no problem.

Long Zhanyun's face was suddenly filled with a smile: "If Brother Fang really has this ability, I am willing to ask Duke Chen Zhenghao to give each of you a free aid of five thousand amethyst coins, and I promise that after ascending the throne, I will never break my promise to crown the two princes with different surnames." ”

Fang Ruitao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be disrespectful, I will contact City Lord Zhu as soon as possible." It's just that I hope that the Duke will support me with no less than three hundred talents, and there must be at least two hundred alchemists among them. ”

"This ......" Long Zhanyun was stunned, these three hundred masters were not difficult for Chen Zhenghao, but the share of those two hundred demon refiners was much more difficult, after all, the demon refiners were demanding and it was not easy to cultivate, even if the entire Longxiao Empire had no more than 10,000 demon refiners, this still included those junior demon refiners and even apprentices who had not been able to advance without learning.

Looking at Fang Ruitao's smiling eyes, Long Zhanyun gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, I will tell Lord Chen Zhenghao, I believe there is no problem." The agreement between the two sides was reached, and Long Zhanyun naturally couldn't stay long, so he immediately got up and said goodbye, and took a group of guards to find a nearby inn.

"Xianggong, why did you promise the eighth brother, I don't want you to get involved in politics, it's too dark in there. Long Hanyue pouted and said.

Fang Ruitao sighed and said: "The so-called Muxiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, the current Shouyang territory is too dazzling, and the development is too fast. If we can't form an alliance to protect ourselves, we can easily have a crisis. If you don't want to be attacked, the best way is to suppress development and not let people seize the handle. But I'm not someone who likes to put my own safety in the hands of others, so I'm bound to grow and get involved in politics because I'm looking for allies. But I promise you that I won't do anything too much to your two brothers unless someone does anything wrong with me. ”

Long Hanyue lightly wrapped her arms around Fang Ruitao's neck and said, "Xianggong, I know that you are worried about my feelings. But I don't want to tie your hands and feet, if you must get involved in politics, just let it go. Even if it is not good for the eldest brother and the third brother, I will support you, you are the future support of me and the sisters, and I will not allow you to have anything to do. ”

Fang Ruitao nodded movingly, and kissed Long Hanyue's cherry lips directly.
