Section 202 Persuasion

Ashrufat immediately realized that Akin was waiting for him here on purpose. Because Ah Jin's business was already doing well, it was unlikely that he would ride such an ordinary carriage on the main road outside Eagle Falcon City without trouble.

"Akin......" Ashrufat stopped. In a short time, the green carriage had come to his mount, and Akin's fat face had returned to the carriage.

"Sure enough, it's you, Ashrufat!" Ah Jin's expression was a little nervous, and a little relieved, but the two contradictory expressions were wonderfully combined on the same face at this time. "What, you're going back to the city?" asked Akin.

"It's obvious. Ashrufat replied. He noticed Ah Jin's concerns, as he was now surrounded by a dozen or so guards. The so-called people talk too much, and many words cannot be spoken.

"Anyway, it's nothing, old friends meet, don't you chat?" Ah Jin is worthy of being a businessman, and what he is best at is seeing the wind and observing the rudder. "There's a nice shop here, come have a drink with me." ”

This reason is always universal, and if it is not really convincing, at least it will not make people see the loopholes. A few minutes later, Ashrufat had his men leave with their horses and boarded the carriage.

"Ashrufat!" Ah Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the other soldiers move away. "Do you know why I'm waiting for you here?" he asked in a tone of apprehension.

"Wait, answer me first, how do you know I'm here? I mean, how do you know I'm going to pass through here today?"

"Nonsense, I've been waiting for you here for three days!"

"What's going on?"

"You're ...... this time It took three months to lead the army to quell the rebellion. Ah Jin's face is very fat, he doesn't need any expression, he naturally looks like he is smiling. But at this time, his face was clearly mixed with anger and fear. "In these three months...... A lot has happened. ”

"What kind of things, what is the most important thing?"

"Ashrufat, our affairs have been revealed. Ah Jin said in a low voice. "Prime Minister Ellene...... All of a sudden, troops were sent over, and I surrounded my chamber of commerce, and all the ledgers and all that were removed. If it weren't for the help of the church, I guess even I would have been arrested. ”

"And then?"

", it took them three days to get things back! Even if those people are idiots, they've already found out the truth. Our deal has been exposed!" Ah Jin looked like he hated iron but not steel. "Now they all know about us...... Something about the theft of the treasury. ”

To Ah Jin's surprise, such an important matter, Ashrufat did not show a nervous expression at all. Instead, he just smiled faintly. "I see, I know. Is there anything else?"

Ah Jin's expression became complicated. "Is that legend true?" he asked suddenly.

"What kind of legend?"

"Someone in the city is talking about what you have done in the city of Fornoros...... It was ordered by the Queen. At the mention of the word "Fornoros City", Ah Jin couldn't help but shudder, and looked up at Eshurufat's face again, as if he wanted to carefully identify whether the man in front of him was a friend who had made a fortune with him. "Because of this, no matter what kind of crime you commit, you will not be held accountable. ”

"Let's be specific. Ashrufat said.

The news revealed by Ah Jin was completely expected, because many days had passed. So the matter has spread all over the world. This kind of thing couldn't have been a secret in the first place, so no one really tried to suppress the news. At this moment, what happened in Fornoros City, even if the officials of Eagle Falcon City were still silent, it was already boiling among the people.

"Ashrufat, I warn you that public opinion is very unfavorable to you. Ah Jin said. "It's also bad for the little queen now. If she shows even the slightest bit of favoritism towards you, then public opinion will change from targeting you to targeting her! In other words, whatever promises she makes to you will be difficult to keep now. ”

"Ah Jin, according to the tradition of our country, what kind of crime will such a thing turn into in the end? What kind of fate will it get? If it is dealt with in the lightest way. Ashrufat asked calmly.

"The lightest is also a charge of 'domineering' and 'indiscriminate killing of innocents'. Ah Jin said. "I think at the very least, it is to deprive the nobility of the status, territory, position, and so on, and put on a 'never hire' hat. ”

"Then there's nothing to be afraid of. Ashrufat replied.

"There's nothing to be afraid of!" said Ah Jin Zhengse. "Ashrufat, that means...... All your past adventures, all your efforts, have come to naught!"

"If it does turn out like that, maybe it's better for me. Ashrufat replied. "By the way, how's the business?"

"It's amazing......" said this, Ah Jin's eyebrows immediately danced. "Hmph, Ashrufat, you'll be surprised when I pay the bonus. ”

"By the way, our contract...... Was it aborted?"

"There's no way to stop this!" replied Ah Jin resolutely. On the issue of interests, he has always adhered to the end and is unrelenting. "Aren't you the rightful Chancellor of the Exchequer? Didn't Her Majesty the Queen personally sign and seal the contract? Who can stop it? At least a year away...... This means a net profit of at least two million Quioli. ”

"Well, it's good that it didn't stop. Ashrufat said. "By the way, what about Rhodia, how is she doing now?"

"Ah, this one, she's more beautiful than me. Ah Jin was a little emotional when he said it. On the one hand, she became the little queen's temporary teacher, entering and leaving the court, and on the other hand, she heard that she had completely integrated the underground forces of the entire Eagle Falcon City. You see, I have benefited a lot from her. ”

Previously, because of Byron, the Underground World Realm of Eagle Falcon City had suffered a heavy, even fatal, blow. Almost all the gangs were uprooted and unreasonably wiped out, and the rest of the people fled and hid. Of all the people who can be called "boss" level, Rhodia is the only one who stays in the open in Eagle City (no doubt she must have made some deal with Byron). Then after the turmoil passed, she climbed up to the friendship between Ashrufat and the little queen, and with this wonderful means of turning the rain and clouds, she successfully became the master of this underground world.

"I see?" said Ashruphat in a low voice.

"Ashrufat, you really don't care about that...... It was used as a mopping cloth...... Lost it?" "Ah Jin couldn't see through Ashrufat. To be fair, in fact, Ah Jin cares about this matter very much, on the one hand, he stands in the position of a friend, and on the other hand, it is also because of selfishness. After all, for a businessman, having a friend who is in the top of the country is really a very useful capital.

"Ah Jin, what kind of person do you think I look like? I mean feelings. ”

"A soldier, or a mercenary. Ah Jin replied matter-of-fact. "It's about the same as when we first met. ”

"Hehe......" replied Ashrufat. "Actually, if you think about it, maybe the reason why I traveled thousands of miles to a distant place and wanted to fulfill a marriage contract that was actually quite slim was probably because I felt like a soldier...... I'm a little tired. ”

"So," he replied softly. "Go back to being this general...... It's really a little depressing. Maybe quitting and going home would be a better option for me. ”

"What's the matter, that's completely different!" Ah Jin's eyes widened. "Mercenary is a job with no future! But now, you can ...... The future is limitless! Not to mention a mere general, even a king is not impossible!"

"The King?"

"Shhhh This time, Ah Jin looked back at the driver behind him. Although the driver was undoubtedly personally selected by him, he did not seem to be that reliable. "Ashrufat, you should understand that our little queen is thirteen years old. By the standards of the nobility, this age is enough to get engaged...... In another year or two, that is, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, she will be enough to get married. Say, 'Who is this future husband?'

"Oh......"

"Byron's family is dead. Everyone knows that Daurafa is also out of singing...... Hehe, in other words, it's now a famous flower without an owner. Hehe, I'm not polite to tell you that the people from all over the world who have gathered in Eagle Falcon City with this ambition dare not say that there are thousands, and there will definitely be no less than tens or hundreds. Think about it, Ashrufat, even if you continue to work in this position, you will have a chance! Once you get married, you can build momentum and manipulate public opinion, at least half the chance of being able to win the throne. Not to mention, there are not many visitors from other countries during this time. Even little Grufiz, who had slipped away before, has returned. ”

Ashrufat pursed his lips noncommittally.

"I know you have a fiancée...... Well, it doesn't matter if you don't care about this, but you can't deny that mercenary is a profession with no future and is not looked down upon. But you are now in a position that is respected and promising, and the monarch has a good eye and will be able to rise to prominence in the future! Therefore, you should find a way to turn the situation around you, instead of giving up everything without confidence. Ah Jin tried hard to convince Ashrufat.

"Actually, it's ...... I'm a little too involved. Ashrufat replied. "Perhaps...... Pull your feet back before you really get into the mud...... is a good choice. ”

"You...... "After all, Ah Jin was a figure who had been rolling in the business field, and he quickly deduced something from Ashrufat's expression and tone.

"Well, Ah Jin, you know, in a sense, being an official in the palace is similar to being a clerk in the Chamber of Commerce. If you come across a very inappropriate ...... then one of the ways for subordinates is to leave their jobs. ”

"There are indeed such bosses. No matter how hard you work and how many problems you help him solve, he will not be grateful to you and promote you. When encountering this kind of person, it is the best choice to tell the truth and walk away. But, Eshurufat, our little queen is not that kind of person. You saved her in the first place...... Shouldn't she have made you an earl?" Ah Jin sensed that there was a mistake in his words. "Ashrufat, I know you, you don't have an actual territory for the title of Earl now, but when this rebellion is put down, I believe the little queen...... She's a real queen......"

His voice stopped as Ashrufat made a gesture to stop him from continuing.

"Ah Jin, people change. Ashrufat replied.
