Root was like a general returning in triumph, riding a war horse and swaggering into Fort Mayba. What was slightly different was that the eyes that the people on the street looked at him were not joy and enthusiasm, but anger and hatred.
Lute felt confident, with a smile on his lips and walked through the crowd without changing his expression. When he saw Mo Nianxi and Qili'an, he even winked and whistled in a good mood.
, seducing two beauties.
"The person who helped them retake Fort Maiba. Is that you?" Root suddenly stopped as he passed by Zhou Xingyun: "I'm very curious why you, a foreigner, want to interfere in the affairs of the great empire. Be careful of being
People take advantage of you, otherwise you won’t even know how you died.”
After saying that, Root patted the horse's neck gently and continued to follow Hollier's servant...
Root arrived at the Lord's Mansion in Mayba Castle and interviewed Hollier and Xiaosai in the living room.
However, the three of them chatted for about ten minutes before Xiaosai was dismissed by Houllier and had a secret conversation with Root in the living room.
"Your Excellency Houllier invited me in. If you don't want to negotiate a big deal with us, don't blame me for despising your great empire."
"Let me talk about the conditions you proposed first. Leaving aside the women in Paradise, Lord Root, do you think I will hand over those foreign beauties to you as bargaining chips?"
"Not to mention those foreign beauties, even the women from Paradise, the girls who were bred for the emperor, Mr. Holier does not intend to give them to us. I am right." Although Root did not understand Holier's personality,
But he knew that Houllier was loyal to the imperial royal family wholeheartedly and would never do anything detrimental to the emperor's interests.
The young girls in the paradise are all candidates for the emperor's concubine. How could she give them up?
Even if Houllier agreed, the emperor would not agree.
"Lord Lute is only half right. First of all, it's not that I don't want to hand over those beauties from other places to you, but I am unable to hand them over to you. They are very powerful. Even if your clan leader Locke comes,
We may not be able to catch them. Mr. Root is a smart man, and you must have noticed that they are extraordinary. Otherwise, how could Mr. Root come here to talk to me?"
Why does Houllier dare to negotiate with the Arat gang? Why is Root willing to negotiate with Houllier?
You may not believe it, but the factor that contributed to this situation is Miss Impermanence Flower's "other shore line".
After Houllier and Root saw the 'Other Shore', they immediately surmised that Wuchanghua was a 'great hero' level powerhouse, possibly even an 'emperor' level powerhouse.
Root noticed that there were strong men of great hero level in Maiba Fort, and he immediately understood that attacking Maiba Fort was a very unwise choice, and they had to outwit them.
If it really doesn't work, Root plans to give up the mission.
Being an enemy of an emperor-level expert is a 100% loss-making business, and even a fool would not do it.
The reason why Houllier dared to seek skin from a tiger was because of Miss Wu Changhua's shocking strength.
Houllier bet on the Arat bandit group, and after recognizing the strength of Zhou Xingyun and his party, he did not dare to act rashly, so he invited Root to enter Mayba Castle to discuss.
Because of this, Zhou Xingyun scolded Houllier as a gambler. She was gambling on her life and the fate of the great empire, and even let her win!
As mentioned before, Houllier's gambling was not a blind bet. She had a basis and understood the rules of the game before taking the risk and trying to join forces with the Alat gang.
Why do you say that?
Because Houllier has seen through Zhou Xingyun and knows that he is a kind-hearted person,
As long as Zhou Xingyun is kind-hearted and cares about the people of the Principality of Cheryl, Hollier can use him to contain the Alat bandits.
At the same time, Houllier planned to join forces with the Arat bandit, naturally to check and balance Zhou Xingyun.
During the previous confrontation with the Alat bandits, Hollier had already noticed that the soldiers of the Principality of Cheryl did not listen to her orders at all.
Zhou Xingyun ordered the soldiers to open the city gate, and the soldiers from the Principality of Cheryl opened the city gate without hesitation, even if she stopped her, it was useless.
In other words, Fort Maiba was actually in the hands of Zhou Xingyun, who held the lifeblood of the great empire.
Hollier will not allow the lifeblood of the great empire to be controlled by a foreigner. What if the Holy Union Army and the Osselan Alliance army press the border and Zhou Xingyun rebels?
In order to prevent the above situation from happening, Houllier had no choice but to lure the wolf into the house and use the Alat Band of Thieves to contain Zhou Xingyun.
Houllier knows very well that his behavior is like walking a tightrope, and if he makes any mistakes, he will fall into a place of eternal destruction. However, the situation of the great empire has reached an urgent moment, and Houlier can only take the wrong path to gain wealth and wealth in danger!
Because Zhou Xingyun is kind-hearted, he will not leave the residents of the Principality of Cheryl to die, so even if Hollier recruits the extremely vicious Alat bandit, Zhou Xingyun can only endure it.
Otherwise, the people of the Principality of Cheryl will suffer...
Because Zhou Xingyun and his party are very powerful, Houllier doesn't have to worry about them making trouble even if he joins forces with the Alat Bandit and lets them enter Maiba Castle.
Houllier's decision-making is really like walking a tightrope. He must have a good grasp of the Alat gang and Zhou Xingyun and his group before he can use them to help the empire resolve the crisis.
Of course, Zhou Xingyun and his entourage are powerful enough to intimidate the Alat Bandits, but to make the Alat Bandits his own, Houllier needs to give them extremely generous rewards! So generous that the Alat Bandits cannot refuse the sky-high remuneration.
!
Hollier believed that as long as they made good use of Zhou Xingyun and his group and the Alat Bandit, they would be able to withstand the armies of the United Holy Religion Army and the Osselan Alliance.
Zhou Xingyun secretly scolded Houllier for being an abominable old woman! She has no ability at all to lead an army into a war, but she is so good at intrigues and palace dramas! It is precisely because Zhou Xingyun understands in his heart that Houlier is trying to use the art of trade-offs to control him and the Alat thief.
group.
Hollier also deliberately mentioned that the people of the Principality of Cheryl were in the hands of the Arat bandits, and she would find a way to rescue them.
These words were full of sarcasm, as if he was saying to Zhou Xingyun...
I know that you are a kind and good person who will not leave the people of the Principality of Cheryl to die, so let me make good use of your kind heart and contribute to the great Esilans Empire.
"Since Lord Holier can't give us beauties, what else is there to talk about?" Root said nonchalantly: "You should know that we Arate people only like three things, treasures, beauties, wine and money, you give them
No, women, you can’t give it to me either, are you trying to kill us with drinks?”
"Hahaha, how can a man not like these three things?" Houllier said with a disapproving smile: "Listen to me, Mr. Root, I can give you money, beauties, and wine. It's just that you need it.
It will take some effort and requires your cooperation."
"Please say."
"With my strength, of course I can't hand over those foreign beauties to you. However, what do you think of His Highness Locke and the Great Empire's Divine Sword Emperor?"
