The first impression that Lithop gave Arthur was that he was a soldier who retained his upright habits, and perhaps had some discourse skills, but not much.

But as the conversation deepened, Arthur gradually saw the true side of this lord - a speculator!

Speculators in the mask of the military.

There is no doubt that the other side has been extremely successful.

If it weren't for the news given by the other party, and the continuity was directed at the old lion, Arthur would not have found out the true face of the other party.

It's because the old lion has hit a wall!

That's why you chose to tentatively throw yourself at the tigress?

No!

To be precise, Lisop wants to put pressure on the old lion with the help of the tigress!

What a daring guy! ’

Arthur, who had insight into the other party's purpose, evaluated it from the bottom of his heart.

This kind of audacity does not mean that the other party jumps left and right between the old lion and the tigress, but that the other party is willing to use his son to make a nest!

There's no way Lisop Jr. didn't know about Lithop Jr.'s plans.

And on the premise of knowing, the lord still let little Lithop do it.

Is this confidence in his son?

Or does it not matter whether his son lives or dies?

According to the performance of the other party, it should be the former

But Arthur had some doubts.

Because, whether Lisop Jr. succeeds or fails, it is good for Lisop.

Little Lithop succeeded, and the opponent could take advantage of the situation to get more chips, either to offer an exchange to the tigress or to the old lion for a price.

Little Lithop failed, and it was just the current situation, borrowing some 'news' to put pressure on the old lion.

But in addition to successes and failures, there are ......

Accidentally!

In Little Lithop's plan, once there was an accident.

Little Lithop will definitely die.

Doesn't Lisop know any of this?

Sure you know!

And knowing it, and choosing to let his son do such a dangerous thing, will he really be a qualified father?

Arthur was puzzled.

As for Lisopp, who does not hesitate to jump left and right, what do you want?

Hereditary titles!

Arthur couldn't think of anything else besides that.

Even, Arthur could think of Lisopp asking the old lion for 'allegiance' more than once, and the old lion had been beaten and prevaricated.

Tigresses are afraid of old lions.

In the same way, the old lion is also afraid of the tigress.

In mutual jealousy, the two sides can fight secretly, but they will never fight openly.

The old lion in the inner bay knew very well that once he accepted Lisopp's 'allegiance', it would be a complete tear with the tigress of South Los!

The old lion when he was young absolutely didn't care.

But now?

The old lion had to think about more.

The coal and iron mines in Nanzhen are very valuable, but it is definitely not worth waging a war for them!

Compared to Nanlos, which lacks coal and iron mines, Neiwan is not short of these things!

'Young you, with your 'life' as a bargaining chip, completed three first climbs and obtained the status of 'knight'!

Then, having tasted the sweetness, you once again used your life as a bargaining chip to save the Baron Borna at that time, and reversed the entire battle in the way of 'decisive raid', and won the title of Lord with meritorious service......

Wrong! Wrong! ’

Arthur thought about the life of the lord in front of him, but frowned suddenly.

A speculator who has tasted the sweetness is hard to stop.

And for more than 30 years after the 'Seven Years' War, the other side has not moved at all, which is really strange.

You must know that compared with the period of the 'Seven Years' War, after the end of the war, there will be more opportunities for 'speculation', and it is impossible to remain indifferent to the behavior of the other side.

Even, if the other party surrendered to the young old lion at that time, it was enough to obtain a hereditary title.

'Is it all about something?'

What kind of things will take thirty years to complete? ’

Arthur had more speculation in his heart, but on the surface, he looked at Lisopp in front of him with a smile-

"Your Excellency, we need to be more honest."

"Hmm!"

Lisop replied in the affirmative.

However, in the eyes of this lord, there was a flash of helplessness.

It was evident that what was before him was something that the Lord had not expected.

In this lord's expectation, the three pieces of news he just received were enough to exchange for his son and the iron and coal mines, but now, ......

Not to mention that he has exchanged his son, iron ore and coal mine all back, it would be good to be able to exchange his son alone!

And this, we also need to use more iron ore and coal mines as bargaining chips!

The thought of needing to exchange more iron ore and coal for little Lisop made Lisopp's heart full of reluctance.

But this is the only bargaining chip he can use to be valuable to the 'medium' in front of him.

Moreover, thinking of the arrangement and plan for so many years, Lisop secretly gritted his teeth.

"I'll trade the iron ore and coal mining business back to little Lisope!"

The lord said.

Immediately, the smile on Arthur's face was brighter.

More iron ore and coal mining business is what Arthur needs most in front of him - unlike the after-the-fact distribution, the iron ore and coal mining business he has now obtained belongs only to himself.

As long as the Count of Nanlos still cared about his own honor, the honor of his family, it was impossible to swallow it up.

'Thank you for the 'rules of the nobility'! ’

Arthur thought silently in his heart, and then quoted-

"Sancheng!"

"Impossible!

When pigs fly! ”

As soon as Arthur's offer came out, Lord Lisopp on the opposite side jumped up.

His Excellency retorted loudly.

In the midst of the shouting, the facial expression of His Excellency the Lord was distorted by the expression of 'anger'.

But Arthur didn't react and still smiled.

The initiative is in his own hands, how could Arthur be in a hurry.

Moreover, the young 'psychic medium' is ready to fight with each other until dawn.

Anyway, the night is the time when his mind is most active.

But contrary to Arthur's expectations.

Lord Lisope, who was so angry that his face was distorted one moment, calmed down the next.

The other party sat back in his chair, still in the posture of a soldier.

After pondering for a few seconds, the other party spoke—

"Twenty percent!

It can give you up to 20%! ”

Arthur was directly shocked.

You know, he was not only ready for a tug-of-war just now, but also in Arthur's heart, as long as he got a percent coal mine and iron ore business, it would be a big victory, and if he was only given half of it, it would not be unacceptable.

Who would have thought that this lord not only did not pull with him, but was also so generous.

'Did I just blame this father?'

Maybe that kind of risky behavior is the family belief that Lisop adheres to! ’

Faced with such a generous Lithop, Arthur thought unconsciously.

Then, Arthur got up and stretched out his hand—

"Happy working together!"
