"Do you really think such a move is wise?"

Ruhl looked at Adric with a look of near-despair, with a deep helplessness in his eyes. 98

There were only two people in the room, so Ruhl spoke in an unabashedly questioning tone.

Adric stood there quietly, facing the wall~ On the wall was a huge map with countless military symbols, and he stood there with his hands in his hands, as if he was looking at God, and did not respond to the fat man's question.

"Adric!" Ruhl strode around Adric in a hurry, staring at his face with a haze in his eyes.

"Ruhr. Adrick sighed, with a very reluctant smile on his face: "I happen to have a plan, I plan to hand over the Eastern Front troops to Butler, but to be honest, Butler's guy fights, sometimes he doesn't like to use his brain, I need a guy who can stay awake at a critical moment to sit on the Eastern Front, and this candidate must be able to suppress Butler and make that guy willingly obedient." So I thought of you..."You know, in our counteroffensive plan, once my main forces start a counteroffensive, at that time, the troops on the Eastern Front will be under tremendous pressure,"... So I want to ask you, "......"

"Alright! don't tell me anything about the hell of a counterattack plan!" Ruel almost roared angrily at Adric, he was so excited that he almost sprayed the scar on Adric's face: "Don't talk about this! You know what I'm trying to say!!Adric!You're killing yourself again!!You're destroying yourself step by step!!I can't just watch you do these stupid things!!!"

"It's not as bad as you say. Adric smiled lightly.

"It's not that bad?!" the fat man screamed, glaring into Adric's eyes: "You still say it's not that bad! Hell! Run to the palace and quarrel with the emperor, so that the little emperor is almost scared to death by you!and then insist on going his own way, regardless of the emperor's wishes..."Adric, you are not the kind of person who has no brains!You are not the kind of ambitious guy! I know you! Everyone says you are a general, but I know that you are more loyal to the empire than anyone else............ Why did you do this!Why did you do such a thing that angered the Emperor?!"

"I.........

Adric was about to explain" Ruel was already angry, "Shut up, I know what you're trying to do! hell, Adric, if you really have...... If you really want to go further, then I, Ruhr, will not hesitate to stand by your side and support you! If you want to be a powerful minister, then I will applaud you! This empire needs a real powerful person to lead it! If you are willing to be that person, I will only agree! But "but you are not at all! Damn it! I know you too well! You don't have that kind of mind, why do you deliberately make such a domineering posture in the palace?!"

Adric smiled bitterly: "You questioned me, I wanted to explain, and you told me to shut up, do you want me to say it or not?"

"Don't think I don't know what you think!" the fat man gritted his teeth: "Minas is also my teacher! Even if you want to help him make a comeback, using this method to provoke the emperor is simply the most stupid thing to do!"

"But it works, doesn't it?" Adric smiled faintly, "Your Majesty's order is faster and more efficient than any other time. The appointment of the Duke has come down, "Even I didn't expect it to be so soon. ”

Ruhl's heart suddenly moved, and he looked at Adric with a suspicious face: "...... Did someone tell you anything? As a human being, you would not suddenly think of such a drastic and extreme method! Someone must have given you such a damn idea! Say, who is it! Lao Tzu cut that bastard!!"

Adric took a deep breath and looked at Ruhl, his tone was very serious, very serious: "Ruhl, please remember who you are! We are soldiers, we are soldiers who defend this country! I don't have the kind of mind you say! I just want to revive this empire" I just want to make everything better now. Anything I do, I have my own considerations, as long as it's right! No one asks me to do it, I want to. You should understand that with my temper "if I don't want to do something, no one can force me to do it." ”

"But you're so early......

"Is it suicide, is it to bury the root of yourself?" Adric smiled faintly: "Your Majesty is jealous of me" Your Majesty hates me, this has been doomed from the beginning. If I don't do this, do you think Your Majesty will clear up all misunderstandings with me? No, Ruhl! As long as I am in the army, Your Majesty's hatred for me will not be eliminated. He is the king, I am the minister, such an identity is doomed, unless I am willing to hand over all power, otherwise the words "............"

"But the return of the Duke of Minas will be good for the situation?" Spit, gritted his teeth" and whispered: "This teacher of ours ......"

"Shut up! I don't want to hear a word out of your mouth that is disrespectful to the teacher. Adric said coldly: "The teacher is highly respected, has high qualifications and prestige in the army, and the national crisis is like this, it is precisely the military veteran like his old man who needs to come forward to deter the Quartet and rectify the overall situation! ”

"But in the future, will the army listen to you or the teacher?" Ruhl shook his head.

"Whoever is right will listen to whomever is right. Adric said categorically: "National affairs are not child's play! With him in his presence, many things will be much easier. ”

"Adric, you're naïve!"

Ruhl almost groaned, looking at the pillar of the empire in front of him, the fat man suddenly had an urge to hurt Wu Yi.

"Innocent! You will always be like this! Unrepentant naivety! What do you think our teacher's comeback will bring? Don't you understand? You, Adric, are a real soldier! You are a pure soldier! But our teacher, he is not! He is not! The teacher is already a politician! Adric, maybe you think you know the teacher very well! But ...... "people like you" don't understand politicians at all! You don't understand what a politician can do!"

Adric retorted to something, but Ruhl didn't want to listen anymore.

The fat man rushed out of the room angrily, Adric looked at the back of the fat man, and smiled helplessly, "Turn around, continue to look at the military map on the wall, and soon see that the fat man rushed out of the room one by one, and he did not leave immediately."

Ruhl immediately found Adric's personal guard captain, and in the face of Adric's personal guard captain, the fat man almost rudely dragged the other party aside, grabbed the other party's collar with both hands, and his eyes were blood-red, "with a murderous look: "Tell me!

The captain of the guard and Ruhl are also old acquaintances, and he is not angry at Ruhl's actions, but just answers with a blank look: "My lord, the general is busy with official business, and there are many people who come to see him every day, so,"

"You know what I mean! I mean, is there any special person who has come to see your general!"

The captain of the guard fell silent.

Ruhl took a deep breath, looked at the guy in front of him, and whispered: "Listen, I know your loyalty to Adric! But you should believe me! The question I asked is very important! It is a matter of life and death for your general! Your general's temperament is too upright, I don't want him to be bewitched by some bastard to be a gunman! Do you understand? Tell me, "I want to save him!!"

The captain of the guard was still hesitating, and Ruhl was already furious, and the hand that grabbed the other party's collar tightened a little more, and said viciously: "If you don't say it, it will only hurt your general!"

The captain of the personal guard looked ugly, he silently raised his hand, grabbed Ruer's wrist, pushed away the fat man, and said in a low voice: "My lord...... "I understand your painstaking efforts and intentions, in fact, I myself am very grateful to you, I know very well that the general is in a very bad situation now! In the imperial capital, I am afraid that only you are willing to sincerely help him and be a good friend for him! But the general has an order, "We are not allowed to say it, so the military order is like a mountain, I dare not disobey!"

Ruhl's eyes showed deep disappointment, and he looked at the loyal officer and sighed. Angry: "Okay, what kind of people bring what kind of soldiers! Adric is stubborn to death, and the people he brings out are all dead-brained!"

"My lord, please, please forgive ............" The officer looked a little ashamed and lowered his head.

The fat man let go of his hands and stood there gasping for a few breaths, thoughts racing in his heart.

The situation is dire!

Bad!

It's not that the fat man is making too much fuss, but the comeback of the Duke of Minas is simply worse for Adric's current situation!

Although on the surface, the Duke of Minas is Adric's old boss and former teacher. There should be intimacy between the two," ...... , but the fat man is definitely not as naïve as Adric!

He knows very well what happens to a purely loyal military man and a politician together!

The word "politician!" was applied to the Duke of Minas, and the fat man thought it was not too much!

Although he was once a disciple of the Duke of Minas, the fat man had already seen it clearly!

Their teacher, the veteran of the army, the Duke of Minas, has long since transformed from a soldier loyal to the empire to a naked politician!

is also a famous general of the empire, and even the Duke of Minas is still the honor of the teacher.

But in Ruhl's heart, he would never trust this teacher again!

When there was also a conflict with the emperor, Adric, a pure soldier, chose to stick to his beliefs, even if he did not hesitate to offend the emperor!

Also when the empire was in danger, Adric gave orders in danger, risked great risks, and defended the imperial capital with the remnants of the army!

However, the Duke of Minas still chose to retreat to protect himself, even when the rebels entered the city, the patriarch of the empire chose to stay closed. Although he did not defect, he did not rise up against the rebels!

A true pure soldier would never do this!

Everything the Duke of Minas did, not for the sake of the Empire, but for himself, for the benefit of his family!

In the fat man's heart, this once very respected teacher is no longer the old handsome who used to be respected all his life for the empire.

Such a Duke of Minas, once he re-moves into the military headquarters, can he still count on his close cooperation with Adric?!

Joke!

The Duke of Minas naturally understood: "The reason why the emperor used him was to suppress Adric! The only bargaining chip he could be appreciated by the emperor was to suppress Adric! If the old man wanted to continue to get the emperor's support, he had to keep suppressing Adrick in the future! This was his only way to protect himself politically!!

At the same time, Adric's approach this time ......... The act of provoking the Emperor "in the eyes of Ruhr is simply stupid and cannot be described in words!"

What is Adric's greatest capital right now?

Speaking of military exploits, Char, who ate Odin's Red Snow Legion, is even stronger than Adrick in terms of merit! But no one in the empire will regard Char as the pillar of the empire! And the only candidate who is expected to be Adric!

Why is that?!

Prestige! Huge prestige, long since Adrick's current position!

Adric led the remnants of his army to defend the imperial capital, was born and died, and never gave up several times when he fell into a desperate situation, "his fierce loyalty to the empire has moved and admired countless people, and he is selfless and loyal, all of which have created his great prestige!

But this time Adric's actions undoubtedly caused great damage to his own prestige!

In the past, even if he was tougher, "people would think that he was just sticking to his own opinions." But if Adric really dealt with the emperor with a high-flying posture and put on a posture of bullying the emperor, it would be completely different!

Although the empire is in decline, people are not completely desperate for the royal family. People still have expectations for this empire. Despite the emperor's youth and personal virtues, "by and large, many people were given the expectation that things would improve under his leadership."

However, if Adric "showed the posture of a powerful minister" at this time, many people who had supported him in the past would be disappointed in him! He was a famous general in the hearts of the people, a patriotic general with high moral character! And definitely not the kind of domineering and powerful minister who used his power to oppress the young and weak king! Such a move would undoubtedly make many people turn from Zhijing to disgust.

And at this time, an unclear Duke of Minas reappeared on the stage......

The fat man stood there, his face flickering and darkening, as if he had been thinking about it for a long time, and suddenly a trace of absoluteness finally flashed in his eyes.

He stared at the captain of the personal guard in front of him, and said coldly: "I don't ask you anything else" Just ask you, are you loyal to your general?"

"Above all else!" replied the officer without hesitation.

Ruer squinted at the other party, and suddenly said coldly: "Even willing to die for him?!"

"No excuse!" the officer's reply was categorical.

"Okay!" Ruhr clasped his hands and said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to die! But I need you to do something! Remember, this matter is a matter of life and death for your general!"

"Are you ready?"

Dafani stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror.

The gorgeous clothes showed her identity, and the glittering crown woman on top of her head looked at the beautiful figure in the mirror, and said lightly: "When you're ready, let's go." ”

But no answer from the maid came from behind him.

With a slight cough, Daphney turned around at the sound of this voice, and saw her brother standing in the doorway, and the maid in the room had withdrawn at some point.

"Brother, brother—" Daphany smiled reluctantly.

Roddy walked into the room, closed the door with his backhand, and stood in the doorway, staring at his sister quietly.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to congratulate you. Daphney smiled a little tiredly: "I heard about His Majesty's appointment, brother, you are already a general of the Guards." Sitting in the position of general of the Guards at the age of thirty is also considered a rare ......""

"Delphine...... ,..." Roddy's voice was a little hoarse.

Daphany tried to make her smile brighter: "I know that you have been pressed hard by your father, and this time my brother can finally make a big difference." I believe that my brother's talents will be displayed, and the glory of our Minas family will definitely be carried forward in your hands, I ............"

"If the position is at the cost of selling my sister, then I'd rather not. Roddy's soft words made the smile on Daphne's face freeze immediately.

She sipped her sip and shook her head, "What did my brother say?" ”

"Isn't it? Roddy whispered, "There was pain in his eyes: "I'm sorry, Daiffany, I, I begged my father, I begged him, but he didn't agree! I don't want you to go to the palace again!"

"Don't say stupid things. Daphany looked at Roddy and said slowly: "I am the queen, of course the queen is going back to the palace, how can she go to live in the family courtyard." Brother, please say these words again, in the future, your identity is different, and you must be extra careful in your words and deeds. ”

"My father has changed. Roddy's voice was cold: "He has completely changed! He is no longer the father I love! In order to regain power, he will do everything now! He forced me to get married, I can accept it, but ...... , but send you back into that cold palace, I ......"

"If you could...... I'd rather not bring you home that night. Luo Di said in a low voice: "If I had known, I would have sent someone to send you away immediately when I was outside the city that night." ”

Daphany sighed softly, she slowly walked in front of Roddy, stretched out her arms and hugged her brother tightly, "Thank you, Roddy"... Thank you! I know you love me very much, and you have always wanted to protect me since you were very young. I know, I know, I know "You're the best brother in the world." ”

As she spoke, she raised her head, looked into Roddy's eyes, and said in a low voice: "Don't blame your father, standing in his position, many things are not something that he can control, he just does what he has to do." As for me............ My fate must have been sealed from the beginning. Roddy, do a good job"...... Other............ Don't let my sacrifice become worthless, okay?"

"If he treats you badly, I must be......" ...... "Roddy clenched his fists" but at this point, his voice lowered.

He suddenly felt ridiculous about himself.

Isn't it good? Garcia is not good to his sister, "The whole world knows it, but what can he do? The other party is the emperor!!

Daphne smiled lightly and helped her brother straighten his collar" She looked away and whispered, "Brother, if you can, please grant me a request." ”

"You say!" said Roddy at once.

"Please work hard, the future of the family is in your hands!" Daphany whispered, "Only a strong family can protect the clansmen, if ......... If you have a daughter in the future, please love her well and stop using her as a bargaining chip! I hope that this kind of sacrifice will end in my generation! ”

Roddy's eyes were a little red, and he suddenly felt that the guilt in his heart could not be suppressed, and he almost didn't dare to look his sister in the eyes.

"Alright, don't do that. Daphany deliberately smiled faintly: "I'm going to enter the palace to be a queen, not to die." ”

※※※

In the Duke's Palace, the carriages, horses and guards were ready, and the palace attendants sent from the palace, the Imperial Forest Guards, and the gorgeous royal carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.

The entire street has been blocked, the news of the queen's return to the imperial capital has spread, and the Imperial Forest Army has completely sealed the street, and no idle person can enter or leave.

In the Duke's Palace, there is a joyful and lively atmosphere up and down. On the one hand, because the queen finally returned, and on the other hand, it was the old duke who came back and regained power.

When Daphne, who had been dressed in new clothes, walked down the stairs surrounded by court maids, the attendants and guards in front of her were already kneeling on the ground.

Even the old duchess Minas, when facing his own queen daughter, bent down and saluted.

Daiffini walked up to his father, helped him up with both hands, looked at his father's silver white hair, and then looked at his father's brand-new imperial marshal uniform, and sighed softly in his heart.

There was no emotion in her eyes, she just glanced at her father and said lightly, "I'm leaving, father." ”

"Greetings to Her Royal Highness. The old duke's voice did not contain a hint of quietness. ！~！
