"Brother Murong, ahem, people go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Huo Gang is just a lord under our Lord County King. Follow him, or follow us, Lord Billy, to have a future. This is It's obvious, you are a smart person, you should understand it without me saying it,"
The most eloquent counselors under Prince Billy have begun to use their sharp tongues to lobby Murong Xiaotian in turn.
"That's right, if I follow Lord Huo Gang, at most I will be a legion commander, but if I follow Prince Billy, I will still be a legion commander. What's the difference? I don't believe that Prince Billy can still confer me a title. Sit down, Lord." Murong Xiaotian chuckled: "Besides, the salary Huo Gang gave me is much higher than that of your legion commanders under King Billy. Even if I come here, I may not be able to get such a salary. Not to mention the high salary, Lord Huo Gang promised me that within a year, he would give me a large fiefdom."
"This, regarding the issue of the lord's salary, to be honest, I really can't make the decision. So, you think about it first, and I will go and report to the king. Don't worry, we, the king, will never treat you badly. of,"
"Okay, I will definitely consider it seriously,"
Seeing Xie Yunhua, the first strategist of Prince Billy, leave quickly, Murong Xiaotian was happy, grabbed the wine on the table and started drinking it.
He didn't need to worry about Prince Billy poisoning the food and wine, because in his conversation with them, he had already revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that he had only been with Huo Gang for about twenty days; therefore, he also There is no question of loyalty to Huo Gang.
Between the words, Murong Xiaotian did not reject Prince Billy's efforts to win over him. In this case, how could the other party come to harm him.
However, the reason why Murong Xiaotian was really happy was not because of this, but because of the smooth implementation of the plan.
He has revealed Lord Huo Gang's ambition to rebel, intentionally or unintentionally, and provoking a war between the two sides is his real purpose.
Of course, Murong Xiaotian revealed these words very cleverly. He would never let the other party feel that he did it intentionally, but would make them think that he had accidentally let it slip.
………………
"Huo Gang, this bastard, is really ambitious and wants to rebel." Prince Billy punched the armrest of the seat angrily.
The matter has become very obvious. He actually promised to grant the territory to Murong Tian. If he didn't want to rebel, what else?
You must know that a lord has no right to grant any land granted to him by the prince and then grant it to his subordinates. Huo Gang has such a plan, so what if he doesn't want to rebel.
"It's not surprising. The 'Demon Emperor' is seriously ill and won't be able to survive for long. Anyone with a brain can imagine that once the 'Demon Emperor' dies, a war will inevitably break out between the king, the princess, and the princess. "Those lords who have strong military self-respect and some ambitions are naturally starting to get ready to take action. I guess there must be similar situations not only here with us, but also with other princes and princesses," Xie Yunhua answered seriously.
"It's not our turn to worry about other places. I wish they would be as chaotic as possible, but here, we must solve the problem before that old brother of mine dies; I don't want to have a fire in my backyard by then. , give me an enemy from both sides," King Billy said with a gloomy face and waved his hand fiercely.
"But don't forget, Huo Gang has three legions. It is not difficult to destroy him. But in this way, our overall strength will be weakened a lot; I am afraid that in the future battle for the 'throne', we will have to We're at a disadvantage," another counselor replied.
"There is no doubt that those with dissident intentions must be eliminated. As for the problem of weakened strength, we must find other ways to remedy it. Therefore, the first priority is to see if we can find a way to eliminate Huo Gang's subordinates. Those legion commanders were roped in to try to minimize the losses; secondly, it was this Murong Tian who did everything possible to pull him over. With him, we would be able to have a legion, which would help greatly improve our strength. "And, with his terrifying strength, he can definitely be put to great use," Xie Tianhua thought for a moment before answering.
"Let's go and tell Murong Tian that as long as he submits to me, he will be the commander of the legion after he passes the 'honor assessment'. As for his salary, no matter how much Huo Gang gives him, I will pay him what Huo Gang gives." His salary is twice that of his, and in addition, I will also give him a fief; if he can make great contributions to me in the future, I will also give him the title of lord and more fiefs," King Billy gritted his teeth and said.
Now, we are approaching the critical moment of becoming a king and losing a bandit. The 'Demon Emperor' may die suddenly at any time. Therefore, there is nothing more important than expanding our strength and recruiting talents.
Especially, a master among masters like Murong Tian.
Therefore, Prince Billy can no longer care so much.
"Yes, my subordinate will go right away,"
Xie Tianhua nodded slightly and left quickly...
……………………
"Brother Murongtian, what do you think? The prince of the county already values you very much. As far as I know, it has never happened before to reward members who are not lords with fiefs." After telling Murong Xiaotian about the conditions, Xie Tianhua said with emotion.
Think about it, Murong Tian should be satisfied with such generous conditions no matter what.
"This condition is really good," Murong Xiaotian said with joy, but instantly turned gloomy again: "No matter how good the material conditions are, if there are no women, what fun will there be? If you let me If he betrays Lord Huo Gang, doesn't that mean he wants me to give up his niece Li Wanxin? This really puts me in a dilemma," Murong Xiaotian began to play Tai Chi Kung Fu.
You must show your great desire to follow King Billy, but you must not agree to it.
The best way is to ask for help and delay the time. Even if you can't express your position easily, you can't break this line and wander ambiguously between King Billy and Lord Huogang.
To put it bluntly, Murong Xiaotian wanted to have two things to do. Only in this way could he bring his shameless means of sowing discord to the limit.
"Isn't she just a woman? Don't say a word. As long as you ask, the Lord Prince will immediately send you ten or eight to serve you and serve you as concubines or maids as you please," Xie Tianhua immediately laughed.
"My God, you think you're not selective about what you eat, just because you're a woman," Murong Xiaotian said with disdain and said with a smile while drinking wine: "Do you understand, women are also divided into three, six or nine grades, that kind of second grade Who cares about third-rate characters? What I need must be of the highest quality; Xiang Li Wanxin is a woman among women, a top quality."
"This..." Xie Tianhua showed a wry smile, shook his head and said: "Brother Murong, this is the first time I have heard of you being ranked third, sixth or ninth grade. What is this Li Wanxin like? I have never seen it before. ; Come on, tell me carefully, what kind of conditions do you call the best, a woman among women? I don’t believe that under such a powerful power of the county king, I can’t find you. The woman needed,”
"Hey, there are no rules and regulations on this kind of thing, because there are many kinds of top-notch women. In fact, the prince has one under his command. If the prince is willing to give her to me, then I will definitely have no problem," Murong There was a hint of evil smile in Xiaotian's eyes.
"As long as anyone is really under the command of the county prince, it will be much easier to handle," Xie Tianhua let out a long breath, as if he felt much more relaxed all of a sudden.
"Lan Phoenix," Murong Xiaotian smiled even more cunningly.
Now that we already know that this blue phoenix doesn't like Prince Billy, why not drag her into the water? This water should be muddied as much as possible.
"Ah," Xie Tianhua was stunned, then he smiled bitterly, and the big beads of sweat on his forehead started to fall down, and he said with difficulty: "It's not good for you to want someone, you have to want her, she is a rose with thorns. , will hurt people,"
"You're right, I just like roses with thorns,"
"Well, you don't know that Lan Fenghuang's father was the most powerful general under the Lord County King back then. His strength was ranked among the best in the entire 'Demon Continent'; more importantly, Lan Fenghuang's father, During a quest, he died in the hands of a spirit beast to save the county king; therefore, Lan Fenghuang's father was the county king's savior. Lan Fenghuang inherited his father's legacy and took over his father's legion. The girl has an unusually stubborn character, and sometimes she doesn't even accept the blame of the county king; but no matter what, her father died to save the county king, so even the county king has to give in to her; you It’s not good to ask for anyone, but if you have to ask for her, this matter will probably be very difficult to handle.”
"There's nothing you can do about it, I just have a crush on her, you can do whatever you want," Murong Xiaotian replied immediately.
I really didn’t expect that things were more complicated than I thought. Damn, this is the best. I was throwing this problem back to King Billy. Now, it’s not that I don’t agree to be loyal to you, but that you can’t satisfy me. My request.
"this……"
Now, even the usually eloquent first counselor didn't know how to deal with it.
"Go and tell the prince that if he can help me get rid of Lan Fenghuang, Murong Tian will swear allegiance to the death and will go through fire and water without hesitation. If you have second thoughts, you will be struck by thunder and die badly," Murong Xiaotian said with his five fingers together and a serious expression on his face. God swears.
"Uh, okay, I'll tell the prince right now," Xie Tianhua wiped the sweat from his forehead and left helplessly.
"Gah ga ga, my name is Murong Xiaotian, Murong Tian has nothing to do with me,"
When Xie Tianhua left, Murong Xiaotian snickered proudly. Now, he could drink, eat meat and sleep without worries.
Now he has become a hot potato that King Billy can neither hold nor throw away.
Of course, this has nothing to do with him. It is King Billy and the others who should have a headache.
