Captain Cao himself was frantically touting himself, and he almost said that there was nothing in the sky and no earth. Scarlett would love to hammer the bastard's back, but she couldn't change the facts. Captain Cao really didn't do anything, it was completely Leonardo's initiative to recommend Captain Cao, and he didn't get angry with Captain Cao at all.

There is only one explanation, and that is that Leonardo thinks too highly of Captain Cao. Scarlett has been in the Beamon Empire for so many years, and she has never heard of Leonardo think so highly of anyone. If it happened to a certain imperial dignitary, Scarlett still figured it out, but it happened to Captain Cao, which is a bit intriguing. Out of curiosity, Scarlett is curious to know what magic or secrets this big back has on it.

"Do you want to know? If you want to know, tell me! You don't say how do I know you want to know......" Captain Cao had to sell well when he got cheap, until he saw Scarlett's hand stretched out to the machete on Barkley's waist, Captain Cao coughed dryly, and said seriously: "Actually, I made it very clear, just because Leonardo saw in me a trait that no one else in the empire had." His writing a letter of recommendation is a trivial matter at all, but in the eyes of countless outsiders, it looks like he sold me a great favor and sent me to the fast track to promotion and fortune. As for whether I can grasp it myself, that's a matter of my own ability. This is equivalent to making a high-yield investment with no risk at all, and if I become famous through the Southern Expedition, it will be that he Leonardo knows how to make good use of people and contribute to the empire to make a name for me. If I hadn't been in the limelight at all, as long as I didn't make any mistakes, he wouldn't have to bear any consequences. Got it?"

"At the same time, our raiding group has also been in an uproar recently, but these are all in exile far away from the empire, and few people in our empire really know what kind of team we are, I guess there are many big people who are very interested in our raiding group, but there is no way to understand it. We're kind of mysterious. Leonardo's hand also met the needs of these people, and took the opportunity of the Southern Expedition to let those who are interested in us investigate and examine the strength of my Cao. It's a mule or a horse, you have to pull it out and slip around to find out......" Captain Cao smiled, and didn't forget to continue to put gold on his face. Even Chief Cao felt that this was still a very crucial factor.

After the raiding group took root in the realm of exile, it can be said that it has affected the interests of many people, and only a fool would not be interested in the raiding group. Captain Cao can pat his chest and guarantee that even if it is a big man like Leonardo. They were all curious, and so was Catherine, who had just walked on the front foot, but they were too embarrassed to ask directly, and it was best to let the raiding group show itself.

"Then the boss is talking about it, he bets on you, what is the difference between you and the others, since it is an investment, what kind of income does he want to get from you?" Gail asked, tilting his head. She's a kind of financial person, and she's very sensitive to words like this kind of return on investment. But after thinking about it for a long time, I didn't come up with any clue.

Again, the benefits are not visible to you. Maybe it will be a long, long time before his investment in me pays off. This kind of smart person, the city government is too deep, and he is willing to put a long line. All he wanted from me was a support. Because in the entire Beamon Empire, now only me and him think that the monarchy is not destined by heaven, but should be lived by virtuous people. Head Cao took a sip of Jiadele and said lightly.

Head Cao said it easily. But everyone who heard this felt a chill. It's really a shame that this is the territory of the raiding group, and everyone here can be regarded as the core backbone of the raiding group. If this is said outside, from the official level of the empire, Commander Cao's words are suspected of maliciously slandering the lord of the empire. Starting from the identity of the priest of the temple of Head Cao, these words are enough to become a suspicion of blasphemy. Either push out the noon gate and lose your head, or be tied to the stake and be burned, the consequences are just as serious.

"Are you crazy? How can you talk nonsense? You two heretical madmen dare to communicate these things?" Scarlett almost thought she had misheard, and when she saw that everyone reacted the same way as herself, she realized that it was not herself who was wrong, but this evil back. It's okay if this big back head is not blocked, after all, he doesn't do it like this for a day or two, but Leonardo is different. Even if he put a knife on Scarlett's neck, Scarlett didn't think that Leonardo would take out these words and discuss them with the two of them, this is too weird!

"My good senior sister, nothing is impossible in this world. The wheel of history has been rolling forward, sooner or later our empire will face the problem of changing dynasties, no empire will be truly the sun never sets, let alone prosper. The saying that the divine right of the monarch is originally very funny, and the reason why it has been extended to the present is because the people's thinking is still very feudal and uncivilized. When there are more people with lofty ideals, this will become the trend of the entire continent, and it is not just our Beamon Empire, but how long it will take, I can't say for sure. Head Cao shrugged his shoulders and didn't care.

Old Man Ao propped himself up with great interest, and said, "So you, a little rabbit cub, also have the heart to be the king and hegemon?

Leonardo himself knew in his heart that these things could not be so simple, and I had never made it clear to him that I wanted to be like him. Leonardo also knows that His Majesty Pedro ...... No, I could even say that I'm a character from the pro-Teg camp, and it's not so easy to lean towards him. As for my ambitions, he didn't know, I didn't want to do anything boring to dominate, I just wanted to do what I wanted to do. Essentially, Leonardo and I are two kinds of people. Head Cao's eyes flashed with wisdom, and he was unexpectedly calm.

"Then you say that, isn't Leonardo's approach completely superfluous? and he can't get your character right, and he still has to recommend you, won't he have any follow-up actions to trap you, a cunning fish?" Old man Ao also scratched his head in confusion. Captain Cao really never thought about the cause of a king. This kind of big thing that countless people are keen on, for him, is a constraint and boring to the extreme. Leonardo didn't have much contact with Captain Cao, so he should naturally understand that Captain Cao was not so easy to control.

"That's where Leonardo comes in, if I go the way he envisions. That's great, of course. But even if I don't do what he envisioned, he will still get the benefits. His bottom line is to bring out as many outliers as possible. Now both His Majesty Pedro and Stern want to make steady progress and expand the power of their camp little by little. After the fall of St. Beamon, there have been so many open and secret battles, but which one really made a big fuss? These two people in power were cautious. The first thing to make sure is that you don't make mistakes. Leonardo is different, if this goes on for a long time, he will sooner or later be overtaken by these two parties, and he can only watch the play from afar and can't intervene. Head Cao grinned, these processes were all seen by Head Cao from beginning to end. I didn't understand it before, but Captain Cao remembered it. After such a long period of integration, where can we not know what the cause and effect of this kind are.

"So. Leonardo now has only one way to go, and that is to muddy this clear water, the more muddy the better. Once he succeeds, the factional struggle of the Beamon Empire will set off a new round of storms, and many forces will intervene, and he will have a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Old man Ao suddenly figured it out. He pointed at Captain Cao and said, "You little rabbit cub is just one of them." Leonardo did not participate in the southern expedition, and it is estimated that he also had this consideration, waiting for the Tiger and the Rhine to fight openly and secretly. He is waiting for an opportunity to move, this hand is indeed clever!"

Head Cao nodded in agreement. The only thing Leonardo can afford to see Captain Cao now is nothing more than Captain Cao's unruly personality traits that don't like to be bound by others. Even if it is another person, as long as he has a little ability, he also has such a trait, and Captain Cao believes that Leonardo will also be very interested. At the beginning, even when the plundering group left Sri Lanka, Leonardo still came all the way to see him off, which was undoubtedly the meaning of winning over Commander Cao. Even if it is impossible to turn Captain Cao into his person, establishing a good relationship with Captain Cao is also beneficial to his long-term development.

The question of human nature is the most difficult to say. Leonardo also played this game of thrones with ease, and there were many aspects to consider. People's ambitions and ideas will also change, for example, Commander Cao has not thought of standing on the top of the empire to call for wind and rain, but what about the future? No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. At least Captain Cao is very open-minded and not feudal at all, which gives Leonardo room for investment.

"Then you can tell me that we went to participate in the southern expedition, which is to accept Leonardo's kindness. Even if you don't make a big career, this favor is also owed. If Leonardo has something for you to do, or for him to make it easier for you, you have to show something?" After thinking about this, Old Man Ao also began to weigh the pros and cons of this southern expedition. As long as there is a war, there must be a consciousness of sacrifice.

The raiding group is strong, but it is only that it is more horizontal to commit crimes in this exiled domain. Once you go to participate in the Southern Expedition, it is not just Commander Cao himself who has the final say, including how to march and how to fight, that has to be up to the top. This is the seriousness of large-scale battles, and if you are disobedient, you will violate military orders, and if you are caught by Heinrich and other Rhine magnates, will you give up? If you are obedient, you may also be used as a gun by others, and you will directly lose your autonomy, and only God knows what will happen when the time comes. Old Man Ao has fought more large-scale battles than Captain Cao has eaten, and he has never thought that this kind of large-scale battle is easy, so Commander Cao thinks that he can fish in troubled waters, but Old Man Ao doesn't think so. If you don't get any bargains at that time, and you still owe Leonardo a favor, then this deal will be a big loss, and it is better to stay here honestly and eat and drink.

"This is not simple? I am such a cheeky person, don't you know? What if you owe favors? In this world, it is the uncle who owes the debt, is it Leonardo who asks me to repay me when I must pay it back? If I don't repay this favor, including how to repay this favor, it's up to me to have the final say. Rely on the debt, this is our family's strength!" said Head Cao shamelessly, but it made people speechless to refute.

This kind of blatant scoundrel, this thing can really be done. This thing has to crook his neck, and Leonardo can't do anything about him. He himself has positioned himself clearly, so it is not so easy to be shaken.

"Shameless!" Scarlett glanced at Captain Cao, with a look of disdain, as if the relationship between a senior sister and brother with a person like Captain Cao made her feel that her personality had been insulted.

"Senior sister, don't say that, don't I also depend on the situation, and I don't have to eat and wipe it out and not admit it, our plundering group also has to be cheeky, I know this. For example, if he asks for a gold coin, I give him a copper plate, and he says that he has done his best, and he will not be able to jump over and press me to the ground and beat me, right?"

There are still two months left before the southern conquest is completed, and the assembly place is Memphis, the city of the bear clan, the main city of the southern province of the Beamon Empire. Commander Cao had time, and handed over all the matters of the plundering group to Old Man Ao and the head of the Pi Sect, and Commander Cao took the team of men and horses on the road in a leisurely manner.

The only change is a major shift in the location of the raiders' crimes, which is also a good buffer period for the current situation in the Exiled Realm, which has been a bit difficult to do business recently. (To be continued......)
