302.Chapter 302: Lobbying on both sides
"Lord Earl, the blessing of the king, please come in. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”
"Yes!"
Yun Xiao came to Roland in a well-fitting aristocratic attire and saluted with standard aristocratic etiquette: "Hello, honorable prince, my name is Liu Zhen, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Count Liu Zhen, I seem to have heard your name from my father, a noble hero full of wisdom. Rowland replied, "You may be seated." What can I do for you?"
(A noble hero full of wisdom? Is this the impression that the Celestial Temple has given me in the minds of the aborigines? I like it, give it a thumbs up...... Well, Roland's opening remarks are typical of the corporal type, so for such a person, it would be more appropriate to use various side-knocking negotiation methods. )
"I bring you hope for the future. Yun Xiao sat unceremoniously on the chair opposite Roland: "At the same time, it is also the expectation of the late King His Majesty for you." ”
"I don't understand what you mean, do you have some documents or certificates left by your father?"
Yun Xiao looked into Roland's eyes and smiled slightly.
(The real Roland is not the good guy in the game, and in fact a good guy would never be a king.) So...... Everything is still based on interests. )
"Dear Prince Roland, I think you already know that your brother will not tolerate you, His Majesty's chosen successor, taking his place. ”
"You know that my father is going to pass on the throne to me. Roland looked delighted.
"Yes, in fact a lot of people know that. However, it doesn't make much sense. ”
Roland frowned, "What do you mean by that?"
"Your Royal Highness, don't you know? In this world, it is not so much orthodoxy as power that decides everything. Yun Xiao sighed: "Actually, your father originally fled to the Engels Continent, didn't he?"
Roland was silent for a while, and then said bitterly: "Then you just said that you brought me hope for the future?"
"Huh...... Your Highness, you have a very good map here. Yun Xiao didn't answer, but walked to the map drawn by Roland's army, touched the two-meter-square, colorful, and very fine military map, smiled and sighed: "It's a pity that this map is too small." ”
Roland was a little puzzled as to why this mysterious count suddenly spoke on the map. Although he didn't know why, out of politeness, Roland replied: "Sir, this is already the best military map of our army, covering the entire territory of Enross. ”
"Hehe, it's just the entire territory of the Enloth Kingdom...... Yun Xiao smiled and took out a one-foot-square piece of paper: "Your Royal Highness, come and see my map." That's a lot bigger than your map. ”
The map that Yun Xiao took out was very small and simple, about a foot square, only black and white, and the drawing was also very rough.
However, on this small map, the entire territory of the Enlos continent is drawn.
Yun Xiao Shi Ran pointed to the rough small map he took out and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, look, your map, on my map, probably occupies less than one-tenth of the area." Your map is only based on the three main cities of the Enroth Kingdom and the six surrounding small cities, and these add up, on my map, there are only ...... It's just the size of a palm. ”
Roland's eyes lit up, but he didn't speak, but Ou Ling next to him interjected: "Mr. Earl, your map is not only us humans. ”
Yun smiled and ignored Ou Ling, but looked at Roland with blazing eyes: "Decades ago, when your father, the great King Moglin, first came to this continent, he didn't even have a piece of territory. He used his bravery and wisdom to defeat three powerful competitors, Lordslayer, Queenlamanda and Lordalamar, and established the current Kingdom of Enloth. Yun Xiao's tone was filled with reverence.
Referring to his father's great deeds, Roland also showed admiration and pride.
Yun Xiao's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a little contempt and sigh: "It's a pity that the great King Mogrin has left behind two unsuccessful sons, not only can he not expand the inheritance he left behind, but it may even immediately make the entire Enlos Kingdom a foreign territory, so that the great King Moglin's life's hard work will be wasted......"
"What are you talking about!" Ou Ling said angrily: "You actually dare to slander His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Roland stopped Ou Ling: "Sir, what do you want to say?"
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, what I want to say, can't you guess?" Yun Xiao said solemnly: "Can't you see that the civil strife between you and your brother, no matter who wins or loses, there is only one final result - that is, the alien race takes the opportunity to completely wipe out the entire Enros! The elves in the east, the Titans in the west, and the orcs in the north, they will definitely not let go of the period of weakness caused by your civil war! The only result of the civil war between you and your brother is the destruction of the entire Enroth Kingdom!"
Roland laughed miserably: "So, are you here to persuade me to surrender to my brother?"
Ou Ling opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but couldn't.
That brother of yours, Archibald, is narrow-minded and lacks the strength to be as good as yours in courage and wisdom. Otherwise, His Majesty Morglin would not have identified you as his successor. Yun Xiao didn't let Roland's despair last long, he immediately replied, "I said, I'm here to point you to a brighter future." ”
Roland's eyes lit up, he stood up and walked in front of Yun Xiao, and gave a deep salute: "Sir, please show me the way for the stupid me." ”
Yun Xiao smiled proudly in his heart, but his face was more serious: "Roland, what do you think is the so-called successor?"
Roland was stunned.
"A valiant warrior who left two things to his two sons on his deathbed, one was the gold he had accumulated over the years, and the other was the long sword he used to fight. Do you think his successor is the son who sat at home and enjoyed the blessings after receiving the gold coin, or the son who took up the sword and continued to fight?"
Roland was shocked, and his eyes showed a blankness, but he turned to guilt, and his eyes were red.
Yun Xiao took out his mini-map again: "On this map, the Enlos Kingdom only has one-tenth of its territory, and beyond that...... It is the territory that your father wanted to conquer, but did not conquer. Yun Xiao said this, accentuated his tone, and said word by word: "His Royal Highness Prince Roland, are you qualified to be the heir of your father, King Moglin?"
Roland smiled, his eyes were shining, he stood up straight, and replied solemnly: "Mr. Earl, I, Roland Leopist, assure you that I am the heir of my great father, the hero King Morgin Leofest......! I will voluntarily renounce the civil war with my brother Archibald!"
Yun smiled and said, "Very good, His Royal Highness Prince Roland, your posture is like my former lord, the great King Moglin!"
"But Mr. Earl, I am afraid that I do not have enough power in my hands to open up territory......" Roland looked worried.
"It doesn't matter, your courage has earned me respect, as well as ...... My allegiance, and that of several of my fellow companions. ”
"Your companion?" said Roland. The Earl Hero in front of him has shown his ability, and how strong is his companion? If he can take the hero left by his father, it will be the real "inheritance"!
"Yes, join me in allegiance to the companions of the former kings. Well, as for the strength and military spending, I think...... As long as you're willing to give up the battle for the throne, Archibald will be happy to pay. Your brother, I'll go and convince him. ”
"You are indeed the one who brought light to me, Monsieur Earl, and I will always remember your help. ”
"At your service, my Highness. ”
The main city of Enloth.
Archibald's study.
"Count Liu Zhen, my father's former command, well, I seem to have heard of his reputation, and he seems to have a few strong followers under him, let him come in and meet me." By the way, did he have a weapon?"
"No, Your Highness, that Count Liu Zhen seems to be a civilian hero. ”
"Oh, that's for the best, let him in. ”
"Yes. ”
Yun Xiao was led into the luxurious living room by the attendants, and Archibald lay on the main seat of the waiting room with a bit of arrogance, next to two majestic guards.
Compared to Roland's residence, Archibald's living room is much more luxurious.
"Mr. Earl, have you come to His Highness to swear allegiance?" Archibald asked arrogantly, holding his head high.
(Hmm, pretending to be arrogant, is it the type who is used to taking the lead to seize the upper hand?...... For such types...... More drastic means, of course!)
"Your Highness Archibald, I used to be loyal to your father, you don't think that I will not know about the will of your father, King Mogrin, do you?
"Bold!" yelled the guard next to him.
Akibald also darkened his face: "You actually slandered me! Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Hehe, being ruthless for the throne is the basic element of becoming a king, if you don't even have the courage and courage to sweep away hostile competitors, then I won't come to see you at all!" Yun Xiao laughed and said: "Your Royal Highness, if you continue to deny it, you are not only insulting my wisdom, but also insulting your qualifications as a king!"
Archibald was a little overwhelmed. He couldn't tell if Yun Xiao was complimenting him or scolding him.
The two guards stared blankly at their master, and for a moment they didn't know whether they should take Yun Xiao down.
After a long while, Archibald frowned: "Mr. Count, I don't quite understand what you mean...... You actually said it was because I ...... Well, kill those wise men before you come to see me? Don't you think that kind of behavior is wrong?"
"Hahahaha......" Yun Xiao laughed and said, "If you stand in the perspective of those stupid ordinary people, it is naturally wrong." But how can a king not kill people? His Majesty Mogrin laid this foundation and established this powerful kingdom of Enlos in the first place, relying on iron and blood killing, and never the so-called 'morality'. ”
Archibald's eyes lit up, and his breathing was a little shorter.
In the far east, there is a peerless king with the surname 'Li', who killed his two brothers and imprisoned his father for the throne, but he is the founder of the most powerful empire on that continent, the great emperor known as the 'Emperor of the Ages', whose horse's hooves are all over all corners of the continent, so that all races prostrate at his feet, and everyone respectfully calls him 'Heavenly Khan'. ”
"Yes, there are people like that?" Archibald was dumbfounded.
"Of course. Yun Xiao looked at Archibald and said loudly: "Your Highness Archibald, do you think that the king is equal to a good old man with a moral model?"
Archibald wanted to answer, but didn't know how to say it. Yun Xiao's every word touched the G-spot in his heart, but his normal morality made him embarrassed to say it. After a while, Archibald waved his hand, turned to his guard, and said, "I'm going to talk to Mr. Earl alone, so go down." ”
"Yes......" The two guards obviously didn't have much ability to think and retreated.
When there was no one around, Archibad frowned and said, "Mr. Count Liu Zhen, what are you doing here?"
"Hehe, Your Royal Highness, won't you invite me to sit down? I think I have that qualifications, don't I?" Yun Xiao squinted at Archibald.
When negotiating with such a person, you must seize a strong position, otherwise he will not listen to your words at all, and he will only have his own opinions in his heart. This kind of strong person will only respect people who are as strong as him or even stronger than him, and if he is soft in front of such a person, he will never talk about good results.
"Oh, you do have the qualifications, please take a seat. Archibald unconsciously weakened a lot.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Yun Xiao sat down, and without waiting for Archibald to speak, he said directly: "In fact, those wise men are nothing more than the heir qualifications that His Majesty Moglin has ostensibly arranged. And my companions and I are the real 'heir examiners'. ”
"Assessor?" Archibald's eyes darkened, as a pretender to the throne, he definitely didn't want his fate to be in the hands of others.
"And you, Your Highness Archibald, you have already gained our approval from the moment you killed those so-called wise men and persecuted your brother!" Yun Xiao didn't press any further, after all, a slap to a sweet date is the king's way.
"Ahh
"Because this kingdom needs an iron-blooded and strong king more than a weak person like Roland!"
