"Sure enough, something happened. ”

Fiona stood on the terrace, looking into the distance. In the night, the outline of the buildings in the imperial capital is faintly visible, and there is a faint fire in the distance.

"Dongyuan seems to be making a lot of noise tonight. She turned around, as if sighing softly, and then took a deep look at the person in front of her, and said in a low voice: "Old man, have you already bet on this bet?"

As she spoke, this peerless mature woman gently pulled her hair, and when her arms were raised, she suddenly squeezed the two bulges on her chest, which looked particularly attractive from the side.

It's a pity that the person in front of Fiona at this moment didn't even glance at her out of the corner of his eye.

The old man's eyes were only staring at the steaming cup of tea in front of him, while sighing softly, he slowly held the teacup in front of him with both hands, blew a breath of hot air, and then leaned in to sniff the refreshing fragrance of tea carefully.

Fiona turned her head and glanced at the old gentleman, and couldn't help frowning, but then smiled lightly and said, "Patriarch, the young master of my family has sent me a secret letter to ask me to come to see you, and there is another word for me to convey. ”

Unexpectedly, the old gentleman was still indifferent, sniffed the tea again, and then said slowly in a casual and lazy tone: "Oh? What tricks did that little girl play again?" hum...... Tell me a word? At this juncture, what else is there to say? Everything that needs to be done has been done, all the bets that should have been placed have been placed, and the team that should have stood firm. Even if there was any accident at this time, my old man would not be able to turn this horse around, and even if I knew that there was a cliff ahead, I would have to go all the way to the dark. Your Duchess, you still have something to tell me at this time, hum......"

He shook his head and said, "I don't think I'm at ease, I'm just afraid it's to mess with my mind!"

Fiona's expression was strange, and she couldn't help but look at the old man, and endured it, so she had to smile bitterly: "Old man, at this moment tonight, this big gamble has been underway, and all the families have entered the game, and you, the high-roller, have made a heavy bet, why don't you go to the palace to take a good look at this gambling game, but accompany me to ...... here with such a little woman"

"Hahahaha!!"

The old gentleman suddenly burst out laughing, he laughed for a while, and then slowly drank the cup of hot tea, glanced at Fiona, and said lightly: "Looking at the gambling game, what is there to see? What's so beautiful about this kind of thing, it's nothing more than red blood, white brains, colorful intestines and internal organs, a sword, a click, a white one goes in, a red one comes out, a severed limb and a broken body, and a human head rolls around...... Isn't it fun? Isn't it beautiful? I've seen so much of this scene that people can't eat or sleep, what's the point? Anyway, my old man's bet is placed, and after the matter is over, if it is done, I will naturally have to take a credit. If the matter fails, I will not escape the reckoning even if I hide in the sky, so why do I have to come to the front of me at this juncture?"

"You're not worried at all ・・・・・・?" Fiona sighed.

"Worried, why not worried!" The old gentleman widened his eyes and looked at Fiona, and said with a wry smile: "How can I not be worried? This bet is my net worth, my life, the destiny, wealth, and future of my Liszt family for generations...... This kind of big gamble, my old man has never done it a second time in his life. ”

"Are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, why not afraid!" the old gentleman sighed softly: "If you lose the bet, then the Liszt family will be in a state of collapse from now on." I'm old myself, it's nothing to live or die, but the loser will definitely be purged and squeezed out, my Liszt family has been prosperous for more than a hundred years, I'm afraid that I will have to live with my tail between my legs in the future. ”

Fiona also sighed faintly: "I knew today, why bother at the beginning, old man, you ......"

"Phew!" The old gentleman suddenly looked at Fiona with wide eyes: "You say this, it makes people angry! You little girl looks very smart, why do you say such stupid things! A huge gamble is in front of you, because everyone is like your master, is you qualified to stand on the sidelines and watch the game without ending up? This kind of qualification, the entire empire is only one of you! The rest of the people, everyone will be forced to make a statement in the end! If you don't take a stand, then your position is shaken, no matter who comes to power, they will be the first to clean you up! I don't want to bet, but I'm not qualified to stand on the sidelines and watch the scenery in this game. ”

Fiona's heart moved: this may be absolute, but the truth is true!

A wealthy family like Liszt, the top rich and famous family in the empire, no matter which side of the force is to be wooed. No matter which side it is, it will definitely not sit back and let go of such a huge boost.

Therefore, even if the Liszt family wants to be alone, it is impossible - not to mention, this old gentleman was originally ambitious, and he had long wanted to rise up and become a real political tycoon, where would he let go of such an opportunity?

As for the question of betting・・・・・・ if your status is not heavy enough, your status is not high enough, and your strength is not strong enough, then you naturally don't need to bet - such characters will not come to woo you, as long as you obediently wait quietly on the sidelines, and wait until the winner comes to the stage, and honestly kneel down and cheer.

On the contrary, a wealthy family like the Liszt family can't hide from it.

And in the empire, the only family that is qualified to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight is Tulip!

As long as Tulip is unwilling to end, no one can force it!

"It's you, little Nizi・・・・・・" Patriarch Liszt looked at Fiona and said slowly: "Tonight, you, the head of the tulip workshop, don't go to the prosperous place of the palace to see the scenery, but come to drink stuffy tea with me, an old man, but why? With the sign of the tulip family hanging on your body, no one dares to touch you, no matter who wins or loses, you can finally see the scenery safely."

But the eldest lady of your family sent you to me for what? What else is there to see, my old man?"

Fiona smiled lightly, covered her mouth and whispered: "Old man, why do you knowingly ask? Our young master really takes special care of you! Do you know that tonight, in the imperial capital, I am the only one who came to your house as a guest, and no other family has this treatment!"

Patriarch Liszt stared at Fiona and looked at it again and again, before finally nodding: "It is worthy of being a talent cultivated by the Tulip Family, and if you can sit in the position of the head of the Tulip Workshop, there is really no mediocrity." Xiao Nizi, you can take a good look at it from me, I just hope that it will be the end, and it will not be a bad ending. ”

Fiona and Patriarch Liszt glanced at each other, both of them knew that on the special night of Chinese New Year's Eve tonight, the Tulip family would arrange Fiona, the spokesperson of the Tulip family in the imperial capital, to the Liszt Mansion!

If the Liszt family plays, then Fiona is a pawn for surveillance, and will always remind the Liszt family to take things when they see good, don't go too far!

If the Liszt family loses the bet, then Fiona is standing here, which is a talisman and a life-saving gold medal for the Liszt family!

Even though the Liszt family has been separated from the Tulip family in recent years, the Tulip family still refuses to abandon this important ally who has followed them for more than 100 years.

At critical moments, they are still willing to pull them along!

That's where the Tulip family comes in!

"Anyway, it's okay right now. Fiona also picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip: "Your old man will tell me about your bet, how heavy is it." ”

"Hmph......" Patriarch Liszt frowned, "What? Don't you know?"

"I'm a little steward, and the young master sent me here to be a mascot, who is qualified to hear such real secrets. Fiona's eyes flickered, and she smiled, "I want to... No matter what happens tonight, there is absolutely no escape from one truth: Whoever holds the sword will have a reason! At this time, if you want to make trouble, whoever has someone in your hand will be the king. I think Patriarch, ...... your bet?"

"Don't guess. Patriarch Liszt said lightly: "What hole cards do we have in this family, you are so smart, you can understand it when you think about it, why do you come to pretend to be stupid to please me." ”

Fiona made a wink, her eyes were like silk, and she smiled shyly: "Oh, the patriarch is making fun of me." Well・・・・・・ let me think about it, the Liszt family is rich in the world, and if it comes to financial resources, there is really no one in this empire who can be stronger than you. But this money, if you want to turn it into a sword when it comes to the end, I'm afraid it's not so convenient. Regardless of which side you are, money is important, but it is not taken too seriously. ... I see!"

Fiona's eyes lit up and she whispered, "Could it be ...... Are you betting on ・・・・・・ dozens of inns and inns of the Liszt family all over the imperial capital?"

As we all know, the Liszt family is rich in the world, in addition to maritime trade, and many industrial fields in the empire, the Liszt family is also in one field, which can be called the leader of the empire, which is the inn.

I don't know if it was the idea provided by Du Wei's bastard back then, the Liszt family actually played the game of chain hotel industry in the world of the Roland Empire.

With deep financial resources and a deep background at the top, there is no one in the empire who can compete with him in this field.

Especially in the imperial capital, where every inch of land is valuable, in such a city where the wealth of the world is gathered, almost all the hotels in the imperial capital belong to the Liszt family!

This has to be said to be a miracle! If it weren't for the backing of someone, this would never have been possible!

It seems that the empire's major giants have already divided their respective power territories. The Liszt family seems to have absolute leadership in the hotel industry.

There are dozens of inns in the imperial capital, large and small, all of which are owned by the Liszt family -- when Chen Daolin came to the imperial capital, the arrogant remarks made by the housekeeper of the Liszt family to Chen Daolin were not exaggerated: it was really difficult to find a single inn in the entire imperial capital that did not carry the Liszt emblem and banner -- but all of them were merged or squeezed out of business.

And when there are dozens of hotels in the imperial capital, the largest city in the empire, and the hotels themselves are an industry with a huge flow of traffic, then it is naturally much more convenient to take the opportunity to do something!

"In the past month, the 64 hotels in the imperial capital have transferred more than 1,700 people in total, taking advantage of the normal transfer of personnel and the replenishment and transportation of various daily consumables. Where...... Fifteen hundred people were quietly settled. These men replaced the working servants in the inns. Such a replacement, at least on the books, does not seem to have increased much, and it has also hidden many 'eyes' who are secretly observing. In addition, my old man has been in and out of the imperial capital twice, and I, a patriarch, always have to bring some guards with me. I went to the imperial capital twice, and I brought 500 guards with me, but when I left, the people I took with me were also 500, but 300 of them were replaced by ordinary men and miscellaneous servants in various shops in the imperial capital, and each time I secretly hid another 200 elites. Of course...... Although this is a trick to do so, and security is safe, it is not without loopholes. The soldiers hidden in the imperial capital were all disguised as servants in the family's various business shops, and so many people were transferred at once, and the records of mistakes and complaints in various shops and inns have skyrocketed in the past month, and business has become worse and worse.

In order to make up this hidden armor soldier, my old man racked his brains, and even the chef in the hotel was replaced by elite soldiers! If you had come yesterday, the grooms in my house would have the status of official samurai!"

Fiona couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, gasped, calculated carefully, and sighed: "In this way, you already have two thousand armor soldiers in this city! And they should all be elite private troops accumulated by the Liszt family over the years!"

"For the sake of this plan, the elite of my Liszt family in the south has been swept away, and if something goes wrong in the south at this time, then my old man's fun will be great. ”

Fiona covered her mouth and smiled: "This trick is very good-!But old man・・・・・・ which side are you betting on tonight?"

The old man looked at Fiona and smiled without saying a word.

After a little thought, Fiona understood the intention of this Liszt patriarch to take the exam, and deliberately frowned, and then said with a smile: "If it was a few days ago, the most promising one would naturally be Prince Shiloh. But with the order of His Majesty to recall Gothdel, it was ......"

"Prince Shiloh?" Patriarch Liszt said lightly, "If he had promised to marry Rodelle, I would have staked all my wealth on him by now!, but is this prince...... It's not that my old man is stupid, I've lived for such an age, this entire empire, there are only two or three people in total who I have never been able to see through, and among them is this Prince Yao. So...... When he rejected my marriage, although I was disappointed, I felt faintly relieved. He had already rejected my refuge back then, and now I naturally would not put a heavy bet on him. ”

"Then ・・・・・・ must be Goth!" said Fiona with a smile, "His Majesty summoned him back to the Imperial Capital before the New Year's celebrations, and I heard that Goth has always had a lot of affection for Miss Lordelle...... As for the Darling Master, I think anyone with a discerning eye knows that he is just a façade. You're betting on goths, but also... ・・・”

"Hahaha! I asked you not to pretend to be stupid just now, but now I'm here to coax my old man. Patriarch Liszt waved his hand: "Fiona, little girl, Goth doesn't need to mention." If the emperor really passed the throne to Goth, my old man would just clasp my eyeballs out and slap them on this table for you to see! Goth is an excellent young man, a good young man! But with what I know about him, he will never be a good emperor! I can see this as a dull old man, and I am as shrewd as His Majesty, can't I see it?"

Fiona covered her mouth and smiled, and her smile trembled, especially the amorous demeanor, which was bright and moving! The woman deliberately widened her innocent eyes and said softly: "Could it be that ・・・・・・ your old man values those 'real Augustine's, can't you... ・・・”

Patriarch Liszt suddenly turned into a smile, pretended to be angry, glared and shouted: "That's enough! You girl, you are coming to behave more and more! If you talk like this stupid thing to coax my old man, he will drive you out directly! You don't want to drink my tea." The head of the tulip workshop, if you really say such stupid things, I don't think the tulip workshop is far from closing!"

Fiona was not annoyed, smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, don't be angry, old gentleman. I'm on the outside, and I don't know if I can't see the situation clearly. But you ・・・・・・ I didn't even guess three times, is there anyone else who can't be selected except for the three parties I said?"

"No, I don't know. Patriarch Liszt said lightly: "My old man's bet will not be pressed on the three parties you said.

"Then you're betting on ......"

"I, an old man of my age, naturally wants stability!" Patriarch Liszt smiled slightly: "In the current situation, this heavy bet can only be pressed on the emperor himself, is the safest choice! After all, who this throne is going to pass to is not all a thought of His Majesty! I don't care who will be the crown prince in the future, anyway, my old man will follow His Majesty with an iron heart, and I will be loyal to whoever His Majesty says to him!" If anyone disagrees with His Majesty's decision, my two thousand sons in the city will fight him with swords!"

"My dear brother, until now, I've been wondering what else you have that I haven't thought of. Shiloh stood there, Duzel's body still cold at his feet, blood staining his boots red. The prince looked up at his brother, and there was an elegant smile on his handsome face: "But I have to say, I really like this feeling tonight." I've endured it for so many years, and I can finally play a game with you tonight!"

"Hmph. The Emperor sneered.

"Brother, I'm already a general now, I don't know where you can do it, where is it?"

The Emperor sighed softly, "One infantry regiment of the Storm Army is indeed not enough to turn the tables, then, what about adding three?"

Shiloh's gaze suddenly shrank into a cold star!

“...... Three?"

The Emperor smiled lightly, but looked down at Pete who was standing in front of him at the foot of the steps and whispered, "What about the old gentleman?"

"Your Majesty, just at the predetermined location, before dark, has been assembled according to my plan. Now...... It should be almost outside the palace gate!"

Just when Shiloh's face changed slightly, outside the main hall, suddenly the bloody Aker had already rushed in and rushed to Shiloh's side, and his tone was hurried: "Your Highness・・・・・・ outside the palace gate, there is an infantry column rushing in! I have seen at least three infantry regiments, more than 2,000 people! Led by the banner of the palace royal forest army! Yes...... I recognize, it's the Inner Court!"

As he spoke, Aker took a deep look at the old Pete in the distance, gritted his teeth and said, "It is impossible for the inner court to hide so many ambush soldiers! This old Pete must be doing something again!"

When Shiloh heard this, his face calmed down, nodded lightly, and said lightly: "Two thousand? ”

"Block, block ......" Aker was stunned.

Shiloh stared at Aker, and suddenly said with a smile: "Dear Brother Aker, at this time, is there any other choice but to block them? Just block them! You still have thousands of Thor's whips in the city, and you will kill them later." It's only 2,000 people, and if you can stop them for half an hour, you're done!"

Aker gritted his teeth hard, then turned around and rushed out!

Outside the door, the horn was rushing, and the order to reline Thor's whip came out.

In the square outside the main hall, the Storm Army also began to retreat, opening contact with the Thor's Whip rebels, leaving at least two hundred corpses in the open space left by both sides! Among them, the number of Thor's Whip and the Storm Army was basically the same.

It's not that the combat power of the Storm Army is comparable to that of the Imperial ace Thor's whip. But these rebels of Thor's Whip have been fighting fiercely for a night, rushing to kill on the long street, fighting the Royal Forest Army, and the Storm Army is quite damaged, and the Storm Army is a new force, at this moment the two sides are fighting fiercely, but they only fight one equally, and in the end, the Storm Army has a momentum that cannot be supported, and it was almost overwhelmed by the counter-charge of Thor's Whip, and several officers died in a row to stabilize their position.

And at this moment, outside the gate of the palace, another team has already broken in quickly!

While the Stormtroopers were still wondering here, they heard a burst of shouts from the rushing team!

"Long live the Emperor!!Long live the Empire!!"

"On the orders of His Majesty the Emperor!!!

As soon as these two slogans were shouted, the morale of the Storm Army was immediately boosted! Even those who were slow to react could see that this was clearly the rear reinforcement of His Majesty the Emperor!

These rushing teams numbered more than 2,000 people, all of whom were wearing armor and holding swords, and although they were not as neat as the regular army, some of them even had different armor systems. However, from the point of view of spirit, everyone is an elite soldier! Perhaps a little weaker than the regular army in line combat, but the individual force is definitely superior.

Moreover, judging from the queue of marches, it is also quite neat, and it seems that it has also undergone a certain amount of military training in battle formations.

For those with a little experience, you can see at a glance that when these characteristics are brought together, it can almost be concluded that this must be an elite private army raised in a wealthy family!

Sure enough, after this team rushed into the palace, someone immediately raised a banner, which clearly showed the family emblem of the Liszt family.

And the leaders and military officers led by them did not hesitate, and led people to raise their swords and rushed towards the Thunder God Whip rebels who were blocked under the palace hall!

"The Liszt family is ordered to be the king!!The roadblocker dies !!"

The front of the team quickly rushed in front of the rebels and slapped it like a tide!

The Thor's Whip rebels, who had been fighting fiercely for a night, seemed to have signs of loosening their queues suddenly, and at this moment, the Storm Army on the side saw that it was cheap, and the officer led by him also took the opportunity to roar loudly!

"Storm Army, by the order of His Majesty Xià Emperor, punish the rebellion!!"

The remaining hundreds of Storm Army, taking advantage of the opportunity, swarmed up and rammed into the rebel ranks from the side.

No matter how elite Thor's whip was, it was finally a little unable to resist, and gradually the team began to retreat...... Moving up the steps little by little, the formation is also squeezed more and more flattened・・・・・・ (to be continued)
