The strongest Marquis in history

Not long after, Robert entered.After he stood still, he knelt down excitedly and said, "Sir Robert, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor, and may my Emperor live long and long."

Wang Qi said: "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Robert stood up and bowed respectfully again.

Wang Qi said: "The three supply points you mentioned, besides the three supply points on the sea route, are there other places to replenish? For example, during the voyage, the rest of the islands are used as landing points."

"I haven't found it yet!"

Robert shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, these three locations were finally determined after wave after wave of merchants passed by. It was only Arthur who controlled the army, so he finally put these three supply points Take it as his own, arrange for his people to guard, collect taxes, etc. If Arthur has a military background, his father is the marshal of the empire, and he strikes ahead of time, he would never have succeeded."

Wang Qi said, "Apart from this matter, do you have anything else to say?"

"No, not for now."

Robert shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, as long as you follow the route, supply supplies at these three locations. At the same time, if you take these three locations, you will guard the main road from Baixiang to Qi. As for the Haixi Empire, It is impossible to kill Qi."

Wang Qi said: "I know this, so I don't need you to repeat it. It's just that I'm curious about one thing."

Robert said: "Your Majesty, please tell me."

Wang Qi said indifferently: "You surrendered in the past, why didn't you mention the supply locations on these three routes, but only now?"

brush!

Robert's complexion changed drastically.

Is this asking for guilt?

Robert did not expect that Wang Qi would directly ask such a question.

Robert became nervous, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the situation of these islands was never taken into consideration in the past. In fact, this time, it was just this incident, so I remembered it."

"Furthermore, His Majesty had never attacked Baixiang before, so he didn't think of it for a while. After all, the news was of no use to Qi at that time. But now, it is different. His Majesty wants to sail south, so I thought of it." About Arthur's supply point."

Wang Qi said: "Really?"

Robert quickly said: "Your Majesty, if I lie, I will be struck by lightning."

Ever since he saw how powerful Wang Qi was, especially when Wang Qi let him kill Philip and many soldiers of the Hercynian Empire, Robert had no luck in his heart.He must have already had a bad reputation in the Hercynian Empire. What can he do if he returns to the Hercynian Empire?

nothing left.

Even, he is a disgrace to the family.

So now there is only one way for Robert, which is to become the sharpest weapon in Wang Qi's hands.

For the rest, he didn't think about it at all.

Seeing Robert's expression, Wang Qi nodded and said, "I believe you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Robert said loudly: "Your Majesty, I, Robert, swear allegiance to the Qi State. Because now I can only follow the Qi State, and there is no retreat back to the Haixi Empire. Arthur and Charles are different, and they still have a chance. Their words, There may be reservations."

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "I see, you can go down."

"I retire!"

Robert stood up, bowed and bowed, and then turned and retreated.

Wang Qi looked at Yan Chixing and said, "Yan Chixing, Robert's news is very timely. Even with Robert here, many things will become easier, especially here with Arthur, who can squeeze more."

Yan Chi said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Wang Qi said: "You have worked hard all the way by boat, go and rest."

"I retire!"

Yan Chixing bowed again, turned around and retreated.

Wang Qi ordered: "Come here, tell Arthur to come."

"As ordered!"

The soldiers at the gate of the tent got their orders, turned around and retreated, and went to notify Arthur to discuss matters.

After a short time, Arthur entered the tent.

Arthur said, "I don't know why His Majesty summoned you?"

Chapter 991 The Way of Balance

Wang Qi glanced at Arthur who was standing still, and said indifferently: "Arthur, do you really want to submit to me and the country of Qi?"

Arthur listened to Wang Qi's words, his heart trembled, and he always felt that there was something wrong with Wang Qi's words.He was quite knowledgeable in politics, and when he heard something wrong with Wang Qi's words, he quickly plopped and knelt on the ground.

Arthur looked sincere, and said: "Your Majesty, I, Arthur, swear to God, I have never concealed anything from Qi. I have never concealed anything from Your Majesty."

"I have made everything clear about the situation of the Haixi Empire. How can I have anything to hide? Now I am serving the Qi State and tied to Qi State. If I help the Haixi Empire at this time, wouldn't it be a lie?" Isn't there a human?"

"For such a thing, anyone with a little insight and a little wisdom will not make a wrong choice, and will know that following His Majesty is the best choice."

Wang Qi said: "Really?"

Arthur said: "Your Majesty, what I said is absolutely true, there is no concealment."

Wang Qi said indifferently: "Arthur, Robert has come with the army, and he is also in the army now."

Arthur's eyes rolled when he heard it.

Here comes the damn bastard Robert. He and Arthur have known each other since childhood, but Arthur has always looked down on Robert, thinking that Robert is a dude with little ability.

Even if Robert was born better than him, because although Arthur's father was a marshal, he himself was born of a concubine and was not favored.But Robert is different here. He was born to his wife, the eldest son, and he is very favored.

So in the past, Robert led soldiers to attack Qi State when he was much worse than Arthur in terms of position, meritorious service, and resume.Back then, the Hercynian Empire believed that attacking Qi State was a sure-fire situation, so they asked Robert to go for gold plating.

Little did he know, but he fell into it.

Robert was not only wiped out, but also captured.Later, Arthur also got the news of Robert's fall. He heard that someone had returned to the Hercynian Empire for help. At that time, the decision made by the Hercynian Empire was to win the country of Qi while trying its best to rescue Robert.

In other words, the most important thing is to attack Qi, and Robert's life and death are not very important.

This is the key.

Arthur was very excited and rejoiced when he heard the news.Because according to the arrangement of the Hercynian Empire, Robert is an insignificant person.

But in the end, Philip was also wiped out, and Robert was not rescued.

Arthur was still happy for a long time.

But now, like Robert, he has also become a prisoner.

Arthur turned his mind, thought for a moment, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I really have nothing to hide! I have explained all the news carefully one by one. After all, Charles' identity is so secret, I have already said it, What about other scraps?"

After Wang Qi saw it, he sighed and said: "It seems that you, Arthur, really don't cry when you see the coffin. Now the battle to attack the White Elephant Kingdom is about to start, to be precise, troops will be dispatched in three days. When an army sails on the sea, it must involve To logistics supplies. You don’t talk about this.”

boom! !

Arthur's mind exploded.

His mind was buzzing, and it took him a while to regain his senses. At this moment, he finally understood.

Damn Robert.

Damn it!

It was actually staring at his supply point.

These supply points are controlled by his personal soldiers.With these supply points, even if he surrendered to Qi State and became an official in Qi State, Arthur could earn countless money.Obviously, Robert told Wang Qi his details, which caused Wang Qi to misunderstand.

Arthur didn't dare to delay, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I do know something about the supply points along the route from Dongzhou to Baixiang Country. I even secretly controlled the three islands and developed them into supply points on the route."

"But these are my personal supplies, not the islands of the Haixi Empire. The reason why I never said it was not because I was disloyal to Qi. What I can follow is Qi, and I am loyal to His Majesty."

"Once I betray His Majesty and return to the Haixi Empire, what can I do?"

"I was unable to gain a foothold in the Haixi Empire, and I was even reviled by countless people. So now, I follow His Majesty wholeheartedly. I admit that I have selfish intentions, but I absolutely have no intention of betraying the Qi Kingdom. Please learn from Your Majesty."

Plop!

Arthur knelt on the ground with a solemn expression on his face.

He hated Robert to death in his heart, this damned Robert had killed him miserably.

Arthur knelt down and paused for a while, then continued: "Your Majesty, I will donate all the supply points of the three islands to Your Majesty and to the State of Qi. The private soldiers I raised will also be handed over to the State of Qi for reorganization. , follow His Majesty's arrangement."

After Wang Qi heard it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is his purpose.

It is impossible for Arthur to control the local power, especially when it comes to the supply points on the sea route. It must be controlled by Wang Qi. This is fundamental.

What's more, Arthur is a member of the Qi State, and he is a member of the Qi State.If Arthur is still developing his strength outside and raising private soldiers at this time, it will easily cause problems, and Wang Qi doesn't want to allow it.

Wang Qi nodded, but said: "Arthur, have you really considered it?"

Arthur said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have considered it very clearly without any hesitation. I am willing to donate all the supply points to Your Majesty, and let His Majesty arrange people to sit in town and become the territory of Qi."

Wang Qidao: "I accept your kindness. However, I will treat you well. When the Haixi Empire is taken down, I will allow you to be the governor of a region, and I will allow you a title of Marquis or higher."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Arthur heard it, he kowtowed again.

He felt a little relieved.

Anyway, there is still some compensation for the title, especially if this is the title of Qi.After all, with the further expansion of Qi State's strength, the title will naturally become more valuable.

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Go down."

"I retire!"

Arthur bowed respectfully, then turned and retreated.

He walked out of the Chinese army tent, heaving a sigh of relief, after all, this time he escaped a catastrophe.Once he didn't deal with it well, even if Wang Qi had murderous intentions, the matter of the three islands would be enough reason to kill him.

Arthur took a deep breath and stabilized his mind, but he thought of Robert.

What happened this time was all caused by Robert.

Damn Robert.

If it hadn't been for Robert to expose his information, the supply points he arranged in the locality would have been able to make money continuously.Even after he surrendered to Qi State, when Qi State took over the Haixi Empire, the supply points on these sea routes would be his future private property.

All this, because of Robert's crow's mouth, nothing.

Arthur directly asked where Robert lived, and after knowing it clearly, he went to the camp where Robert lived.He didn't stay outside the tent, he lifted the curtain of the tent and broke in.

In the tent, Robert was reading a book.

As soon as Arthur saw Robert, the enemy was extremely jealous.Without saying a word, he rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.As soon as he rushed to Robert's body, Arthur punched him down.

boom! !

He punched Robert in the face.

Robert let out a scream. He has been training with the soldiers here in Qi State all these years, and his physical fitness is actually better. Therefore, even if he is beaten now, Robert will fight back with his fists in the shortest possible time.

The sound of bang bang sounded one after another.

Both Arthur and Robert were attacking, but they were also screaming, after this series of onslaughts.Suddenly, taking advantage of the empty door in front of Arthur, Robert kicked out a heart-warming kick, kicking on Arthur's heart.

With a scream, Arthur threw his head back and sat down on the ground.

Robert stood up clutching his chest, his face was covered with bruises, and even his waist felt uncomfortable.He looked at the angry Arthur, and couldn't help hissing because of the pain on his face, his face was full of anger.

Robert gritted his teeth and said, "Arthur, you are really crazy."

Arthur couldn't beat Robert. He slumped on the ground, enduring the pain in his body, and said hysterically, "Yes, I'm crazy. How about it? You Robert, leak all my news."

"To this day, all three of my supply points on the sea route are dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor. Didn't you say this? If it wasn't for you, I would have suffered such a big loss."

"If it wasn't for you, even though I surrendered to Qi, I would still have some property of my own. In order to surrender to Qi, I even exposed Charles' identity, and even talked about the division of the Haixi Empire, and even the situation of Baixiang Kingdom. Said too."

"I have told so many secrets, and lost the army. It is impossible to return to the Haixi Empire. I surrender to the Qi Kingdom, and I truly surrender. I just want to leave a little property for myself."

"But you, Robert, what do you mean by secretly uncovering the bottom line for me? Not only did you expose my property, but you also framed me, as if deliberately causing me to betray the emperor. You are truly tormented."

Robert snorted, and said disdainfully: "What does your Arthur's life and death have to do with me? Are we good friends? No! Are we comrades in the same trench? Neither! Why should I give you Keep it a secret."

Arthur stared angrily, and said, "So you should be beaten, why can't I beat you?"
