Earl Donn had already hinted at it very obviously, and if Leon didn't understand it anymore, he couldn't say it.

“...... Is it likely that the king will hang up?" Leon thought with shock.

That's terrible news.

In his impression, King Aubrey Atwood was in his fifties this year, and his body had always been strong, and it was a surprise that he suddenly fell seriously ill, and his condition was so severe that it was simply a sigh of impermanence.

Li Ang first sensed the surroundings and confirmed that no one was approaching before asking, "What if...... Has His Majesty the King designated a prince to succeed him?"

Count Tang shook his head first, and then said: "Actually, although my information comes from someone within the royal family, the truth has yet to be verified, so you can listen to it, don't dig too deep, and don't spread it to others." ”

"I understand," said Leon, "that since you trust me so much, then rest assured that no third person will know anything we are talking about here today." ”

The young man's gaze is very sincere, and what he says is sincere and unpretentious. Because he knew that it was very rare for Tang En to say such a secret thing to his face, and it also proved that the old earl really wanted to establish a relatively close relationship with him, and it was possible that the other party would have some other purposes on this basis, but Li Ang didn't care.

Making friends in politics is not like his friendship with Caterina and Red, which will inevitably involve reciprocity in terms of interests and information channels, and Leon knows this, and if a new lord and an old nobleman want to make friends with the goal of win-win, they must be "sincere".

Earl Don did a very good job of this, no matter what Leon's attitude was, he first threw out some of the more shocking information to show his attitude, and it would be very comfortable to give the other party.

Therefore, after only a little consideration, Leon decided to regard Count Donn as a "friend" worthy of contact, although these two words still have to be added with double quotation marks, but with the passage of time and the other party's future expression, it is not impossible to completely eliminate the double quotation marks.

"I believe you, Count Leon," Donn replied with a smile.

Leon also had a smile on his face, and at the same time he turned sideways, and his right hand reached out from an angle that the other two nobles behind him could not see.

"Thank you, Earl Donne. ”

Don's eyes lit up, and he also reached out and shook it with the young man.

In this way, the two people reach a certain tacit understanding, and at the same time, the atmosphere between them becomes more harmonious, or more casual.

With a touch of the two hands, Don turned around and looked at the ruins of the castle and sighed: "As soon as I saw this, I thought about the contributions that Count Dalen has made to the kingdom over the years, but in the end, he was plotted by those thugs who were living in the shadows, which is really heart-wrenching, and it is also a heavy loss for the kingdom." ”

He shook his head, "It is said that until now, the military and intelligence services have not made any progress in investigating this matter, which is really a bit unreasonable. ”

Li Ang turned his face, looked at the already familiar piece of broken bricks and tiles, and said indifferently: "What you said is right, but I have long stopped pinning my hopes on these people, and soon I will investigate the cause and effect of this matter alone, and sooner or later I will catch these faceless killers with my own hands." ”

"You will," said Donn, "through guò this day of contact between us, I'm sure you'll do it." ”

"But, Count Leon, I'd like to mention you a little one, I don't know if that's okay?"

"You don't have to be so polite, after all, I am young, and I am lacking in experience and experience, and I need to learn from someone as old as you. ”

Leon's humble attitude made Earl Don feel favorable, and it also showed him a completely different side of the young man's unruly attitude towards Cork and the Border Guard.

In fact, Tang En couldn't figure out which one was the real Leon, but he didn't want to figure it out, for him, Leon could show two completely different personalities in front of different people, which was enough for a young man, and after a period of tempering, it was estimated that he would be more mature.

Tang En pondered for a while, and then said, "There is one thing I want to remind you first, although the canonization text has been handed over to you, the scope of Campbell in it is a little different from before. ”

"When discussing the contents of the canonization, the Secretary of the Interior turned out a map from a long time ago, pointing out that the land at the southern foot of the Bronze Helmet Mountains did not belong to Campbell, but to the territory of Count Macaro, and that the same was true of a piece of land west of Campbell, which should belong to the Earl of Green Mountain, so on the map at the end of the text, the Secretary of the Interior's construction clearly demarcated the actual scope of Campbell, and ...... This time it didn't grant you the rights of the Border Count at the same time, so you don't have any control over the border guards in your realm. ”

The old earl looked at Leon and saw that he did not react, and continued: "You may know that the Earl of Green Mountain and the Minister of the Interior have always been good friends, and the Earl of Macaro's territory is very close to the king, and in some way it will also be affected by the tendencies of the nobles of the royal capital, so you may face some trouble. ”

"What I want to say is that your current strength is not enough to resist such resistance, so there is no need to fight them excessively at this point, you are still young, there is time to wait, calm down and manage your territory well, and at the same time meet more friends, with your potential sooner or later there will be better development. ”

"At that time, even the Secretary of State for the Interior will not be able to ignore your savings, and will naturally back down, which will be good for you or for those who support you. ”

"What's more, in addition to them, there are also some people in the border guard who are dissatisfied with you, plus the elders of these people in Cork, if you are too aggressive, you will let them form a whole, so ...... Differentiation and co-optation is the best way to deal with the shape you face. ”

"Bow your head when you should bow your head, Count Leon, and when you stand on a high place, you will know that this decision is not a shame, but a means. ”

"I may have said a little too much," Donn said, looking at the wide river behind the ruins of the castle with his hands behind his back, "but I think you understand what I mean. ”

"Yes, I understand," said Leon after a while, nodding his head, "thank you for your advice, Earl Donne, and I will keep this friendship in my heart." ”

Tang En sighed secretly, Li Ang's answer was just a simple thanks, and did not mention whether he would accept Jian Yì, which showed that the other party already had a plan, and it might still be the kind he didn't want to see.

However, Tang En can only talk about this, whether Li Ang listens or not is his business, and it will depend on the means of this young man in the future, of course, it also depends on how much energy the characters behind him have, if he can successfully resist the targeting of these big people, of course, it is better, he may also grow into a big tree because of this, and at that time, Tang En will definitely benefit from it by virtue of the relationship he has established with Li Ang.

If it doesn't work out...... In fact, it doesn't matter much, it just seems to be a failed emotional investment, and Don has not failed in the kingdom politics for so many years.
