Adric didn't speak, he hung his head, as if pondering Ruhl's words.
I can't fool you, I can't fool you.
But there is no need to hide this matter, as long as there is a passable excuse on the surface.
The key problems are: first, Gislent can't die, he can only injure him, not really kill him.
In this way, the Landis Kingdom will not completely turn its face because of this.
As a kingdom on the sea, since the Landis people have been planning for so many years and waiting for so many years to wait for the opportunity, they will definitely not give up easily because of anger.
As long as Gislent is injured and does not die, it will not touch the bottom line of the Landis people's patience, leaving everyone with room to continue to cooperate.
The second point is the most important assassination of Gislent, although it can't really kill the "Son of the Storm" of the Rantis Kingdom, although on the surface the blame can be blamed on the head of the warlord's henchmen, in fact, it is not difficult for smart people to guess who is the real mastermind behind the scenes.
The people of Lantis can guess, and His Majesty the Emperor Garcia can naturally guess too.
Moreover, taking this opportunity can also give them a little "warning" to a certain extent.
Yes warning.
For the Lantis, a warning to them: no matter what our emperor thinks, but at least, the military of the Byzantine Empire is extremely dissatisfied with this matter, and the military will not agree to such a "traitor" of the emperor.
It shows the military's tough stance, and also hints to the other side: once there is a situation that the military cannot tolerate, the military will not hesitate to respond with strong means and will not compromise.
In that case, at least warn the people of Lantis, don't think that you can do whatever you want if you grasp the mind of our emperor.
In the same way, it is also a warning to the emperor: although you are the emperor, you can't do whatever you want, although the soldiers of the empire do not allow the enemy to invade, and similarly, the emperor cannot be allowed to give away the interests of his country at will, and when necessary, the military will also take a tough attitude to oppose the decision of His Majesty the emperor.
The assassination of Gislent is a signal that His Majesty the Emperor will not insist on going his own way.
Thinking that His Majesty Garcia has just been coronated, and it is at such a critical juncture now, I think His Majesty will not risk turning against the military and insisting on going his own way Ruhl's words, Adric listened.
If it were someone else, if it was not Adric who was sitting in front of Ruhr now, but other military bigwigs such as the old Duke of Minas, I was afraid that the fat man would never dare to come up with such an idea, no matter how good it was.
Although the assassination of Gislent to stop this covenant seems to be a possibility, the final core issue touches on an extremely delicate place: The authority of the imperial power Is a nation of one or a nation of one?
Historically, the will of His Majesty the Emperor has been the final decision of the Empire.
Now, when His Majesty the Emperor's decision does not conform to the will of other power classes, can the military really disobey the Emperor's decision?
Such an approach is tantamount to a direct negation of the thousand-year-old practice of "the supremacy of imperial power."
Directly going against the emperor's decision, such a practice, no matter how you say it, seems to have a bit of a "big rebellion" flavor.
If it were in front of other military bigwigs, the fat man would never have such an idea.
But by the way, the person in front of him was Adric Adric Adrick, who believes in the Senate system, was born in the hawkish line, but his political tendency is to sympathize with and even agree with the Senate system, and a senior general of the empire who agrees with the idea of "limiting imperial power".
As for Adric's own political ideas, he himself did not have much belief in the "supremacy of imperial power" in his heart, and he was more acceptable to the practice of "appropriately restricting imperial power".
Therefore, although this idea seems to be a little disrespectful and even a little disobedient to His Majesty, to the Emperor, and to the Imperial Power, it is not emotionally unacceptable to Adric.
Therefore, he was silent, thinking carefully about the possible surname of the old Duke Minas If he was an old-fashioned imperial high-ranking like the old Duke of Minas, he was afraid that he would have drawn his sword directly against the fat man.
The wheels are rolling.
Adrick is not usually in the habit of riding in a carriage, and this temporary carriage is naturally not a high-class car, and the journey is very bumpy.
The two Imperial generals in the carriage fell into a deathly silence, save for the sound of rolling wheels and the heavy breathing of the two in the carriage Finally, after a long time, Adric took a deep breath, and when he raised his head, the scar-faced general's eyes were clear, and he gritted his teeth, and the voice almost burst out from between his teeth: "It's hard to get a good candidate."
Ruhr listened to Adric's words, and his body, which had been tense just now, was slightly relaxed.
The fat man exhaled imperceptibly, gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and suddenly smiled: "I thought you would suddenly turn your face and scold me for being rebellious, or call the guards outside the car to immediately tie me up and hand me over to a military court for trial."
Adrick glared at Ruhl coldly: "What should I do to do this, there must be a suitable candidate Gislent will not have no guards by his side, and he himself is a senior general of Landis, and his skills will definitely not be bad enough to be able to injure him, not to kill him, and at the same time to be able to get out safely" Speaking of this, Adric's voice became more and more cold: "And once there is any accident, whether it is mission failure and exposure, or injury and capture, there must be a determination to die, and the slightest point must not be leaked."
You have to find someone you can trust. ” Ruhl listened, smiled mockingly, and looked at Adric: "You have been thinking about it for a long time, are you just thinking about such a question?"
"How" Adric was expressionless.
"Finding the dead is indeed an important issue, but there are more important things you need to think about."
The fat man held up a finger: "First of all, it's your Adric's head" Adric was silent.
The fat man's voice became more and more feminine against the background of the rhythmic wheel shaking and crunching: "The matter is not exposed, anyway, it won't be long before everyone will know what the truth of this matter is, although no one will be stupid to pierce it, but everyone, you, me, including Randy, and His Majesty the Emperor himself, will know who did this thing, the meaning of this thing is to show His Majesty the determination of the military, Uncompromising determination, Your Majesty will surely understand that the main instigator of this matter is you, Adric, who is now the number one person in the military, and the number one opponent of strong opposition to the Lantis now.
Who else is it that you are not at your disposal?"
Adric remained silent.
"So, what you need to consider is that if this is done in your head, I believe that there is a seventy percent chance that you will be able to delay this covenant for a while, and it will also force Your Majesty to face up to the will of the military.
But you, Adric, have since become a thorn in His Majesty's eyes, a thorn in the flesh, no emperor will tolerate a high-ranking general by his side who dares to use extreme skills to fight against him, especially if you also have the influence of the army, once you do this, then His Majesty the Emperor will regard you as an enemy from now on, if the empire can survive this difficulty, then the first thing Your Majesty will have to do in the future is to do whatever it takes, and also get rid of you, the head of the military who is a big rebel. ” Ruhl's expression darkened, "I know you well, Adric.
You will never be the kind of minister who coerces the emperor with power, I know your love for this country, and I know your integrity and fairness in your heart.
So once the emperor wants to settle this matter, you will definitely not be able to fight with His Majesty the Emperor, you will not fight with him at all.

No matter what charges Your Majesty fabricates against you, or even how you deal with you, I'm afraid that you will be tied.
So, once you do this, then in the future, you will definitely die Our young emperor is not an open-minded person, I have been with him for half a year, and I know him very well.
This young majesty, he can endure it, but his surname is extreme in his bones.
Once he has a deep hatred for you, he will definitely find a way to kill you as a threat in the future.
So" Adric suddenly smiled, his smile was calm, but his tone was as cold as the evening breeze outside the car at the moment.
"If it is for the country, why should I Adric regret this body."
Adrik said lightly: "This thing, just do it." ” Ruer looked at Adric, the fat man's eyes were solemn, and after a while, Ruhl sighed softly: "Okay, you're not afraid of death, I'm not a coward, this dead man, you don't have to bother looking for it, I'll do it, my old Ruhl's skills, you should be able to rest assured, hahahum Giselent's skills should be good, but when we were in the military academy, we drank and fought together, and I was confident that I could still solve him, hey" Adric glanced at Ruhl, his eyes were a little excited, but then he shook his head: "You're just afraid that you won't be able to do this."
We are going to frame the warlord henchmen, but with your stature, I am afraid that any person in the upper echelons of the empire will be able to recognize you from the back, unless you can lose a hundred pounds in two or three days. ” Ruhl laughed dryly: "It doesn't matter, I'm a person, I know a lot more friends than you, I know a magician friend, ask him to cast a spell on me, change my appearance and body shape within an hour or two, I can still do it." ” Adric was sure that Ruhl was serious, he frowned, and looked at Ruhl: "Fatty, this thing is very dangerous, if you are not careful, you will die, and once you miss, you must not be caught." ” "If I miss, I'll kill myself."
The fat man said lightly: "I heard that a magician can prepare a potion, hide it in his teeth, bite it and swallow it before he dies, and the corpse will be melted into a pool of blood in a moment, even if he dies, he doesn't have to worry about revealing his identity to the outside world, just say that I died on the city wall, or recuperated at home, and died of serious injuries." ” "I'm not kidding you, fatty, you're going to die," Adric looked solemn.
"Dead" Ruhl's muscles twitched at the corners of his eyes, and he suddenly pulled the window open, looking out the window, and the evening breeze blew in, sweeping away the stuffiness in the car.
The fat man stared at the sky, did not look back, but said in a sullen voice: "Do you know, I can't sleep peacefully these days, every day when I close my eyes, I can see the brothers die in front of my eyes one by one that night, see my adjutant general, my flag officer, my officers leaping horses and rushing to kill."
I remember one of my personal guard captains, who had been with me for almost ten years, and who had not died in many years of fighting, who was already about to be discharged from the army, but because of his loyalty to me, he stayed with me for an extended period of time, and he often joked with me that it was safest to stay with me, because I was the best at protecting myself.
But that night he helped me to block the spears of the rebels, and several spears lifted him off his horse, and before I could even pull him, his body was drawn into the chaos and trampled into a pulp.
The sound of horses' hooves rang in my ears all night long."
The fat man's voice was slow, and the corners of his mouth suddenly tugged, revealing a strange smile, and then turning his head.
His smiling face was reflected in Adric's eyes.
"You mean I don't care about death, because I should have died that night, with my brothers."
Staring into Adric's eyes, the fat man said with tears in his eyes.
Surrounded by guards on horseback, the carriage made its way to the outside of the palace.
The imperial city looks much more deserted than before, even the royal guards standing outside the palace are much less than in the past, most of the royal guards have been transferred to the city wall to participate in the city defense, and only a few hundred royal guards left in the palace at the moment barely support a shelf, and even many servants in the palace have issued weapons and armor to serve as the royal guards.
Adric's carriage was unhindered and was allowed all the way in.
At such a moment, Adric, as the last spiritual pillar of Oscuria, no matter what the emperor's intentions, he has become the emperor's greatest support, during this time, he often goes in and out of the palace to report the war situation, and the emperor has already ordered that Adric can enter and leave the palace at will.
The carriage came all the way to the former majestic palace, and then to the solemn dozens of wide steps.
In the past, the golden-armored warriors standing on both sides of this place were long gone, and they looked deserted.
Adric and Ruhl got out of the car, and the two stood on the steps and looked around.
"I still remember that when you and I were honored and awarded generals, we served as the generals of the First Corps, and we all received official awards and awards from His Majesty here."
Ruhl suddenly sighed.
Adric bit his lip and didn't speak.
"Don't be so nervous, Your Majesty is just meeting with Ghislent to negotiate tonight, and if you really sign the covenant, you will have to wait for a day or two at the earliest, and we still have time to do it."
Ruhl tries to reassure Adric.
Adric nodded silently, and was about to go in with Ruhl, when he suddenly heard the sound of rolling wheels in the direction he had just come.
Turning his head to look, he saw a delicate and luxurious carriage, surrounded by a team of royal cavalry, slowly driving, even the horses of the cart were pure white royal horses, tall and majestic, and the posture was extraordinary.
This was clearly the royal carriage, but in that carriage, through the open window, the two saw that it was the bearded Gislent sitting inside Gislente was dressed in a bright uniform, badge, and ribbon, which was actually a full set of the highest etiquette attire, and he looked radiant and energetic.
Ruhl immediately pulled Adric: "Your Majesty actually sent his own carriage and honor guard to pick up people in order to see Gislent, and it will be a great favor at that time." ” Now that they met, the two simply stopped and stood on the steps, waiting for Gislent's arrival.
"I suddenly remembered what he said when I saw Gislent this time."
Ruhl looked at Adric: "What" Adric's expression was grim: "At that time, we were standing on the top of the arrow tower in the harbor area, looking at our seawall, and Gislent said to me that you have a very beautiful harbor.
Well, that's what he said at the time. ” Ruhl's expression moved, staring at the carriage coming from afar, and said leisurely: "Well, I remember that I seem to have heard this sentence, but the original words were not said by him Gislent, and besides, it seems that half a sentence is missing. ” The two generals glanced at each other and frowned at the same time.
About forty years ago, when the former Emperor Kantos the Great had just succeeded to the throne, the empire was still in good condition, and although the interior was rotten, at least it still maintained the shelf of a glamorous empire.
When the new emperor of the Byzantine Empire was crowned, Lantis sent an envoy to congratulate him, and the weight of the envoy was unprecedented The person who came was the Vice Admiral of the Landis Kingdom at the time, and His Excellency Admiral Greener, who had the status of the "military soul" of the Landis Navy.
Admiral Lantis, who was over sixty years old, had asked to climb the tower to see the view of the harbor when he had disembarked and stepped ashore, and this request was accepted by the Imperial ceremonial officer in charge of receiving the emissaries.
And the admiral of the Landis Kingdom, who was at the top of the watchtower at the time, after carefully looking at the whole picture of the harbor area of Osgilia, did not know whether it was a feeling, or deliberate, he whispered a word or said something to himself, but his voice was not low enough, and the imperial ceremonial officers and diplomats present heard it "You have a beautiful seaport, but it's a pity that such a beautiful seaport should belong to a maritime power."
This sentence even almost triggered a serious diplomatic friction back then.
At this moment, the night is obviously summer, but the warm evening breeze blows on the bodies of both bodies, but it seems to have a hint of chill As if recalling this past incident at the same time, the eyes of the two imperial generals were a little cold To be continued 〗Hanyu Pinyin "" is simple and easy to remember:
