Chapter 962 Eye of the Wind

Edward stretched out his hand to press down Allen's thumb, shook his head and said, "Let's get down to business, you must have heard something in Huoyina, otherwise you wouldn't know that going north is not easy."

Allen found a comfortable chair and sat down, and said: "I also thought about it before, it must not be so easy to go north this time. Not to mention the long distance, we have to pass through many cities during the period, and we need to open up all the joints. In addition, we intend to Under the banner of the Second Prince, the First Prince and the Fourth Prince will definitely not let us pass the test so easily. But I didn't know until I met Huo Yi that the people and things involved in our trip to the north were far more complicated than we imagined."

"No, Huo Yi was the first to jump out and stop me. Although the old Marquis probably had good intentions, he didn't mean to let the water go. If I can't even pass him this test, I probably have to Obediently go back and continue to be my Viscount."

Edward nodded and said, "I've heard about the fight between you and Hoy, and the news spread faster than you and I imagined. Honestly, how much did Hoy contribute at that time?"

"He's six and I'm eight."

"then you……"

Alan knew what he was thinking, shook his head and said: "If it's just a competition, it is true that Huo Yi has more chances of winning. But if it comes to desperate, I must be the last person standing. Although we have not directly fought desperately, I know The result must be like this. There is no reason for this kind of confidence, but the final fact will be like this. After all, Huo Yi is old, and his family has a big business. I dare to fight, but he may not be willing, so Huo Yi stopped talking at the beginning, Don't fight me desperately. On the surface, I took advantage of the sky, but in fact he set a trick to let me drill, and the one that I had to drill, is really an old fox."

"But you have always passed his level. This matter is very important for us to go north. At least it can wipe out a lot of unnecessary troubles."

"The same is true of Huo Yi's meaning. In my opinion, the advantages and disadvantages are mixed. There are fewer unnecessary troubles, and we also have less cover-ups."

Edward knew what he meant, if without Hoy's action, people in the northern border would have no reference to Alan's strength, then they could deliberately show weakness and fish in troubled waters. ?Read the book??w?ww?·1?k?an?sh?u·But now Huoyi's gun has tested the depth of Alan's. If someone wants to deal with them, they will naturally not fool them Chance. Edward said indifferently: "Since that's the case, then we will kill all the way there openly until those people are scared."

Allen thought for a while, nodded and said: "Yes, if we can't even do this, how can we hang out in the imperial capital."

"Speaking of which, what exactly does Huo Yi say about the situation in Beidu?"

"A pool of muddy water." Allen smiled wryly, and then told the whole story of Huo Yi.

Except for the crown prince's struggle,

The prince secretly fights outside of this relationship. Behind those princes, factional strife was also involved. In today's empire, under Emperor Tangleo, there are two important ministers. One is the head of the military department, the imperial marshal Rodke who controls two super legions; the other is Naibert, the imperial minister. These two people, one civil and one military, one left and one right, are all supported by the emperor.

The rest of the officials stand with two people as their respective positions. During the period, the relationship was complicated, and it was not possible to explain clearly in a few words.

Over the years, Rodrick has advocated attacking the Principality of Shadows, completely flattening this foreign kingdom located west of the empire, so as to avoid future troubles. But Tangleo has never expressed his position on this matter, and Rodke's proposal was strongly opposed by the officials with Nedett as the official. In the past few years, Naibert has proposed a series of reform laws, advocating the elimination of the feudal system established by the first emperor, and no knights except marquises and above should be allowed to have their own army. All the armies should be gathered for the empire and centralized organization, so as to gather the force of the empire and weaken the real power of the territories.

Emperor Tangleo also did not express his position on this matter, but judging from the posture of the emperor discussing changes with Naibert many times, it is not difficult to see that the emperor is inclined to Naibert, a minister of common origin. ????? Reading · 1 · However, this kind of change will undoubtedly have a huge and fatal impact on the aristocratic families of the entire empire. Not only did Rodke's line strongly oppose it, but even the royal family and the four princes of the empire were also dissatisfied with Naibert's actions.

This phase moved his mouth, but what he hurt was the vital interests of countless nobles. Naturally, the voice of opposition was louder and louder.

Among them, the first prince Howson is backed by Rodke, a military boss, the second prince Julian is a student of Nebert, and the fourth prince Seves can see the figure of the swordsman Mason. The struggle between these three is not only a competition for the position of crown prince, but also a struggle between the factions behind them. Who will eventually become the crown prince is related to the interests of countless people behind him, and will even affect the future pattern of the empire.

"Right now, the princes' cold war is maintaining a deadlocked situation. At this time, Julian wins over us and wants to use our external power to break this situation. Others are also seeing it, so let's go north Not only is it related to our own interests, but it also involves the three princes, and even has an extremely profound impact on the supporters behind them, and even the empire." Allen shook his head and said: "That's what Huo Yi said, no matter what we want No, when Julian came to us, we had already become the eye of the storm."

Edward pondered: "In this case, can we use the relationship between the princes and factions to deal with them. Even if we are in the eye of the wind, can we find a place where there is no wind?"

"No, no, that's even worse." Allen shook his head and said: "First of all, we have promised Julian. If we still have a vague position at this time, it will only make Julian unhappy. Secondly, if we don't express our position, I'm afraid It will be counterproductive. For a guy who has no position, if you replace it with you, isn’t it normal to ruin it if you don’t get it? If the three princes think like this, then we are really enemies.”

"So instead of blurring our position, we have to reject the good intentions of other princes, so as to gain Julian's greatest trust and support. Although we can't find a windless place in the eye of the wind, at least, the wind and rain will not be too strong." Too violent."

Edward is a smart man, and smart people often have their eyes covered by a leaf. Fortunately, he is smart but not conceited. After hearing what Allen said, he never objected. On the contrary, he nodded in agreement: "You have analyzed well. I am always used to laying out the best interests, but I ignore that sometimes, we can't pay the slightest price. Just get what we want, there is no such cheap thing in this world. Although you are a bit stupid, you have an advantage. You can always look at things and make the complicated pure, but I am the opposite. "

"Are you hurting me or praising me?" Allen rolled his eyes.

Edward smiled without saying a word, and said: "Then the general direction can be settled, we support the second prince, in short, this road is determined to go to the end, so there is no need to think about it. But before our eyes, there is another problem .”

"what is the problem?"

Edward looked at him: "Do you know the way north?"

Allen immediately understood: "You mean we lack a guide?"

"It's not very obvious." Edward said with a smile: "My route is only on paper, but neither you nor I have any experience going north, so we need to find a guide. Otherwise, we will have to walk for a year and a half to reach the imperial capital. How can it become a big joke."

Allen jumped off the chair and said, "I know who to look for. Follow me."

A scream sounded from the three-story building located in the northwest of Tielu Street.

Iron Furnace Street and Gun Shadow Avenue intersect, forming a very prosperous neighborhood in Yedgary. There are mostly iron shops on both sides of Iron Furnace Street, and some famous equipment stores in the city are also located here. The gun shadow avenue is where the mercenary regiments are concentrated. On both sides of the avenue are mostly the office buildings of the mercenary regiment, and the downstairs is the reception. The battle flags of various mercenary regiments can be seen everywhere on the gun shadow avenue. These battle flags are all hung on an iron gun to show respect for Huo Yi, which is also a scene of Jedgar.

In this small building on Iron Furnace Street, there are also iron guns and battle flags hanging upright, as if it is also the office of a mercenary group. In the lobby on the third floor of the small building, a muscular man hid on the bed and yelled, while a young woman next to him looked indifferent and was treating the wound on the man's body. The man murmured: "Jennifer, you can't take it lightly, it hurts, okay?"

The woman sewed up a wound for him with a needle and thread, and deliberately patted it when she was done, which immediately elicited several screams from the man. The woman sneered and said, "Hey, isn't our Lord Rick very majestic? Last night, he fought with Zhuying and almost killed his deputy head. Would he still be afraid of this pain?"

At this time, a voice sounded: "Forget it, Jennifer, don't embarrass him. Although Chasing Shadow is Jedgar's boss, they really bullied people too much last night. It's better for Rick to teach them a lesson. They think that we Bingyue are soft bastards who only curry favor with Mr. Orlando."

Jennifer sighed, looked at their leader Fares, and said, "But you almost injured half of Chasing Shadow's people, isn't this a big deal?"

"It's a bit big, so I went to meet Mr. Orlando in the morning." Fares smiled and said, "Mr. Orlando said that as long as no one dies, it's nothing. He also said that if we didn't fight, it would be very difficult." Stand firm in Gun City."

The woman frowned and said, "That young master, don't be uneasy and kind?"

Fares said displeased: "Don't talk nonsense. If Mr. Orlando is uneasy and kind, he will find this place for us. On the day we hung the flag, if he hadn't come to support us in person, I don't know how many mercenary groups would come to us. trouble. Young Master Orlando has taken care of us everywhere, how can you doubt him!"

"Yes, the leader taught you the right thing." The woman said without sincerity, and Rick who was next to her snickered a few times.

When Rick deliberately took revenge on Jennifer again, Rick in black and black trousers came to Fares and said, "There are two guests here, you'd better meet them in person."
