Realm of Power

541 Difficult choice (3)

What caught the fat man's eyes was a slender, slender figure. ??5????Read the latest chapter of this book

Queen Aichemore, who I haven't seen for a few days, is standing at the edge of a pavilion in the hall. She is wearing a long turquoise gauze dress.

In addition, a white shawl is wrapped around the arms, which further highlights her graceful appearance. The sleeves are also decorated with a piece of patch sleeves of different colors. The waist is tied with a silk belt. A plain white apron is added between the skirt and round-toed feet. The long black satin hair on her head is draped over her shoulders.

Staring at the river with dark and shining eyes, looking at the river under the starry night from the chair rail, it feels a bit like "the descendant of an immortal".

With flickering eyes, the Queen seemed to be staring at the bright lights across the river in the distance,

Yingying Yanyan's charming smile and the clients who came and went seemed to be completely ignored in her eyes, and only time flowed.

Her life in captivity has made her skin far fairer than that of ordinary Kugit women.

He is only thirty-five or sixteen years old, which is the age when an adult promiscuous person is most charming and restrained.

The fat man saw two sets of wine utensils placed on the stone table in the sentry box. Outside a large wine jug, there were also exquisite snacks and cakes.

It seems that the atmosphere of this meeting is not as serious as Fatty thought.

Hearing the fat man's footsteps entering the hall, the plump and charming Queen Ai Chemore did not turn around, but spoke in a mature and charming voice.

"Does the Grand Duke know that the Burgling River has existed for hundreds of years? No matter how exposed the war is, it is still so prosperous and beautiful, and it seems that it is completely unaffected by the secular world. Doesn't time linger here forever? "

Hearing Ai Chemoer's question, Fatty couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this embarrassing question.

This is the bank of the Gris River.

Not only is it the largest in the north, but it is also the area with the most frequent human trafficking and trade in the north.

To sum up, it is absolutely a dirty and evil mess.

If they are some more upright nobles or scholars, they may have chosen to stay away from them long ago, and they may feel indignant even hearing it mentioned by others.

But in the eyes of this nv queen, who has a unique style and personality, that's not the case at all.

It seems that in the eyes of this history lover, this place is just a fragment of historical process. Otherwise, he would not ask himself this difficult question from the perspective of the flow of time.

As for the origin of this piece, Fatty once saw it in the diary of the old Duke Douai.

As the Duke of Vikia, the old Duke Douai was also very romantic when he was young, and he also left a lot of writing about this largest fireworks place in the north.

But Fatty knew that when Queen Aichemore asked him this, he was definitely not really asking about the reason.

The profound meaning contained in it is probably more about exploring one's attitude towards the Kugits.

After all, he now has actual control over the vast western grassland. Together with Turga and Aichmore, there are more than 500,000 Kugits under his rule.

If you include the major tribes still controlled outside the Green Corridor, the population exceeds 1 million, accounting for one-half of the entire Kugit population in the continent.

Any action he takes will have a profound and long-lasting impact on the Kugit nation.

Whether it is a disaster or a disaster, no one knows.

On the other hand, most outsiders say that the Vekiya people will replace the Kugit people and become the new masters of the grassland.

No wonder Queen Ai Chemoer, who is always expressive of joy and anger, is so sophisticated that she can't help but ask this question by tapping from the side.

After thinking for a while, the fat man smiled and said

"The Queen's question is too difficult to answer. If I must answer it, I can only say that I don't know but I can say with certainty that under my rule, there will be no more wars in the grassland. We will not let women become victims of war

Whether they are the Kugits or the Vekiyas, whether they are a powerful clan or a small clan with a sparse population, they are all my people in my eyes.

Their rights are the same. If it is just to obtain the grassland land, I only need to drive them to other places.

There is no need to spend so much effort to mobilize millions of grains from China to tide them over."

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

Hearing the fat man's evasive answer, Queen Aichemore turned around and blinked, with no dissatisfaction on her face.

Instead, she uses a low, magnetic and melodious female voice.

"I know that the Grand Duke's talents are unparalleled by ordinary monarchs. Under the governance of the Grand Duke, the weak Vecia can become one of the few powerful countries on the continent, which is enough to prove the strength of the Grand Duke.

But that was one country after all, and now there are two countries with different races and beliefs. If there is a slight deviation, it will cause a dispute between the two countries. I am afraid that with the strength of the Grand Duke, he will also feel a headache. "

“It’s not difficult”

In response to King Aichemore's aggressiveness, the fat man smiled indifferently and secretly thought about how to answer.

When his eyes were wandering around just now, he discovered that the location of this small courtyard was strange.

Facing the river below, the entrance to the hall is on the left, while there should be an exit on the right, but it is blocked by a long yellow scroll.

If you don’t look carefully, you may overlook this and think that the hall is like this, because the stone platform in the small pavilion is so conspicuous that it is enough for people to think that this is the main seat of the hall.

But with Fatty's keen perception, Fatty could hear the faint sound of heavy breathing coming from behind the cloth.

Although it has been suppressed deliberately, it is not completely undetectable.

There were quite a lot of people. The fat man counted them secretly. They found that there were at least 10 people.

Thinking of the bizarre behavior of the Royal Court Princess Sceris, the fat man's nerves suddenly aroused.

"To be honest, I have already made plans for the governance of West Kugit."

The fat man took a few steps forward and sat down on the stone bench next to the stone platform.

He looked at the thin flowing river below his feet. He seemed to be extremely confident. The expression on his face as he prepared to make a statement was actually considering whether he needed to run away now.

"Isn't this a banquet?"

This word turned over in Fatty's mind,

But the fat man was a little undecided. If it was a banquet, he should have taken action the moment he entered the hall, or used some excuse to hinder his actions.

Otherwise, on such a platform that suddenly faces the water, if you dive into the water to escape, or if you hold King Aichemore hostage to protect yourself, I am afraid that the other party will only have to jump.

The fat man decided to wait a little longer. If what was behind the scroll was not an ambush but the leaders of the Kugit tribes,

It would be a shame to waste an opportunity to win the hearts and minds of Kugits

“I plan to divide the current West Kugit into four areas”

The fat man sorted out his thoughts, dipped his hand into the wine glass on the table, and drew a sketch on the table:

"The Turga area will have East and West Turga. The tribes from the original western grasslands will be settled in the pastures of the Turga Royal Court, while the original tribes from Turga will still return to their respective pastures.

Chemor will be arranged to be the most prosperous trading center in the grassland, allowing all tribes to participate.

In this way, each tribe can exchange horses or máo hides for enough food reserves for the winter before the cold winter arrives.

Even the items you need on a daily basis can be obtained at very reasonable prices.

The fat man paused and said with a serious look on his face.

"As for the power of tribal leaders, not only will I not weaken their power, but I will also issue a decree, which is the order of grace.

According to my recent research, what consumes the most among the Kugit tribes is not the wars between them, but the fights within the tribes.

The consequences of this kind of cannibalism will only make you weaker.

Therefore, I will issue a decree that anyone who launches war against other tribes without official permission will be permanently deprived of all his property and people, and these will be given to the tribes that he has violated.

And if the chief of a certain tribe wants to allocate his pasture to several of his sons at the same time, I will allow him to do so and will ensure that his decision is respected.

"You mean to allow them to have more children?"

Queen Aichemore blinked her eyes, her lowered head suddenly raised, a sharp light flashed in her eyes,

A relieved smile suddenly appeared on his face that had been indifferent just now.

This damn fat guy is too cute. Others can't see it. Could it be that I, a pioneer who has always wanted to implement the decentralization order, can't see that this policy is almost a replica of my own decentralization order?

The only difference is,

My own strategy is relatively straightforward, while Fatty's approach is very obscure. I am compulsive, while Fatty's is proactive.

The ingenuity in it can be described as originality.

Even if you wait until others react, it will be several years or more than ten years later.

At that time, Wikija was probably already powerful enough that no one dared to touch it. Even if he wanted to resist, he would choose to follow the trend.

This order of favor can be said to hit the weakest point in the hearts of the heads of the Kugit tribes.

Among the tribal leaders who have many wives and concubines, who doesn’t have a few sons whom he loves most?

Often the thought of having to decide on only one of them as the heir, and the miserable plight of the other sons, would give them a headache.

The Kujit are a nation that respects the alpha wolf. Once a son ascends to the throne of the patriarch, it is difficult for the other descendants to receive a good deal.

Just like in a pack of wolves, the alpha wolf will never allow threats to exist in his pack.

These heirs who have not ascended the throne,

Most of them will be expelled from the tribe and wander on the grassland, or they will be sent to the army of the Turga Royal Court in the name of service by the tribe.

Under the special care of some adults, not even one out of ten can survive, which can be said to be very miserable.

There are also some particularly capable people who have gained considerable official positions in the Turga army.

But so what, to his original tribe, he was already a stranger.

With just one push of grace, the originally powerful tribe was invisibly divided into several smaller tribes.

It can not only dispel the wariness of Wikiya, but also reduce the internal friction between tribes. It can be said that it kills several birds with one stone.

"Just like this, I'm afraid it's still difficult for all the tribes to be convinced."

Queen Aichemore sat down with a charming look on her face, and suddenly pointed her slender fingers at the southeastern position of the fat man’s desktop sketch and said

"What about here? What attitude does the Grand Duke intend to take towards the Ruidian people who killed King Khan?"

"King Khan is dead?" The fat man looked inexplicably shocked and his eyes were round. In fact, he secretly admired this woman's intelligence network.

"Really? Does the Grand Duke really not know this news?"

Seeing the fat man's shock, Queen Aichemore frowned slightly.

In the eyes of her, a veteran who has been pretending to be stupid for more than 10 years, the shock on the fat man's face was simply too fake.

Could it be that shock means eyes widening? If you were to act it yourself, you would have to make an expression like the sky is falling and the earth is falling.

Otherwise, how can we deserve the title of a generation of actresses?

Although Rui Erdian's news about killing King Khan was only released from the palace these two days,

But Queen Aichemore didn't believe it. With Fatty's eyes and ears, could he know nothing about this?

The fat man's current expression confirmed her suspicion that the death of King Khan was indeed related to this damn fat man.

“I really don’t know”

The fat man held his head high with a sure look on his face.

In fact, under the gaze of Queen Aichemore's beautiful eyes that seemed to understand everything, the fat man secretly complained in his heart,

By pretending to be stupid in front of this extremely smart woman, you are simply bringing it upon yourself.

But at this moment, even if he is beaten to death, he will never miss a trace.

"It seems that the Grand Duke really doesn't know."

It seemed that the fat man's performance was too much, Ai Chemoer's nv king said with a smile.

"The news came from our inside line in Ruidian that I, His Majesty the Kugit Khan King Ssai Ali, was beheaded by the Ruidian army fifteen days ago. For this reason, Sceris still feels guilty for wrongly blaming you. Woolen cloth"

"Wrong to blame me?"

The fat man had a blank look on his face. Yes, Scelis's expression just now was indeed too strange. It seemed like hatred and love, which was hard to understand.

"It's nothing. This girl always thought that you would be the final murderer of King Khan."

For some unknown reason, the smile on Queen Aichemore's face made Fatty's little heart tremble.

He placed this matter entirely on the Ruidian people so easily, and his ability to frame the blame was perfect, just as it should be.

“Good risk”

The fat man secretly wiped his sweat. This woman had definitely seen through him.

There was undoubtedly a hint of ridicule in the Queen's eyes that flashed extremely brightly, just like when she was in the abandoned palace, she had recognized it at a glance, but had not pointed it out until the end. Yitiao’s typical little girl’s character,

The more this happened, the more the fat man's heart trembled. This woman's favor was never easy to owe. The update of this book comes from the real-time update of this book 58com

And from time to time he gets crazy, causing rivers of blood to flow across the continent.

The purpose of trying so hard to cover yourself up at this moment is probably not a trivial matter.

The fat man quickly pretended to be sad and angry and said

"This is really a pity. In fact, although King Scyari Khan fought with me and was defeated by me and Green Corridor, I have always admired him as a hero of the prairie and never regarded him as a hero. enemy,

From the civil war in Wikia to the Northern Campaign, King Scyari Khan and I have joined forces many times, and we have always been brothers fighting side by side against the Redians. I will never stand by and watch his death."

"Oh, what does the Grand Duke decide to do?"

As soon as the fat man finished speaking, Queen Aichemore asked immediately. The gentle gaze just now suddenly became as sharp as a sharp blade, making people afraid to look directly at it.

This question made Fatty's heart suddenly rise. The question was so straightforward that there was almost no room for change. I was afraid that it was time for the final showdown.

The fat man hesitated for a while, then suddenly stood up with a solemn expression, slapped his hand heavily on the stone platform, and said loudly

"Blood debt repayment with blood is my tradition in Samor. Within three months, I will lead the army to seize the northern county from Ruidian to comfort King Ssai Ali Khan's heroic spirit in heaven. Otherwise, I will have no face to face the hundreds of people under my rule. Wankujit"

"Thanks to the words of the Grand Duke, we are willing to surrender."

Before the fat man finished speaking, a loud male voice suddenly came from behind the yellow scroll hanging,

Just when the fat man pretended to be stunned,

A dozen middle-aged men dressed as Kugits emerged from behind the scrolls, and all knelt down in front of the fat man.

On the necks of the first few people, the crystal clear animal claws looked particularly dazzling. They turned out to be the lustful pig dragon claws that can only be worn by the eight masters of Kujit.

"Who are you?" The fat man's face was at a loss.

"I am Bolzuo of the Boljin tribe." One of them raised his head and responded, pointing to several people next to him and introducing one by one, "Latvian patriarch Lali, Qiyue patriarch Qi Yueguangxiao, Bollia Patriarch Bolqike."

After all the introductions were finished, Fatty counted the numbers in his mind and secretly took a breath of air.

good guy

Among the eight major Kugit tribes, in addition to the leader of the Orun tribe Lesuke, who has surrendered to him, there are actually 5 adults from the eight tribes kneeling in front of him now.

The other 10 or so people are also medium-sized tribes with good strength and have a very good reputation among all tribes.

In other words, he now has the support of 6 of the 8 most powerful and prestige people in Kugit, plus these 10 patriarchs who have the right to speak,

"King Kujit Khan", the king's crown that was still a little suspended in the past, has fallen firmly on his head.

"You can rest assured and go down first."

At this time, Queen Aichemore waved to the tribal leaders. She exuded the aura of a king who dominates the world.

She is the official Khan of Kugit. Even when she was imprisoned by Ssayali, many important military and state affairs still required her nod to implement them.

Even Ssai Ali's position as Khan must be in the name of her husband, which shows her strong prestige among various tribes.

It's just that her decentralization reform policy is really unacceptable to most tribes, so they can only take measures to limit her power."

The crowd retreated,

When I came to the small court to look at the river, I saw Fatty, a man and a woman who were inseparable from friends and foes.

"I've done you a big favor this time. How do you want to thank me?" Queen Aichemore said with a playful expression, making a gesture to the fat man to sit down.

The majesty of the queen just now has long since disappeared, and the fat man was amazed when he saw it.

She is indeed a famous prairie witch. Her face looks like a page from a book. It’s really hard for her subordinates back then.

"You want me to repay you in any way," the fat man responded frankly. It's really hard to be a human being by playing tricks with this witch.

"Give me the picture in the north as a fiefdom." Queen Aichemore blinked her eyes and said something that left the fat man speechless.

"That's not good. I just unified Xikujit and gave you a piece of land in the blink of an eye. How can I explain this?"

The fat man had a miserable look on his face. The picture was of an area north of Turga. Because of the cold terrain, it has always been a vast area with sparsely populated areas.

But it is a barrier close to the Dongtingbo Luke area, which has very important military significance.

"Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."

Queen Aichemore took off a dark ring from her slender and white left middle finger and gently placed it in front of the fat man.

"This is considered rent. I'll use this Ring of the Court of Kugit and Sceris as collateral. I believe no one dares to gossip. Even if you are your future mother-in-law, you should give her a place to retire."

"The Ring of the Royal Court"

The fat man's eyes suddenly froze.

That's right, the obsidian ring on the table looked exactly like the one he saw on Sceari.

The only difference is that this obsidian ring seems to have magic power.

In the dark night, there were specks of black light shining,

No one would believe that there is such a magical treasure unless they see it with their own eyes.

"Don't worry, there is only one real "Obsidian" Royal Court Ring."

Seemingly seeing through the fat man's thoughts, Queen Ai Chemoor smiled and said

"The Scyari one is just a replica of this one. It is just a symbol of my husband's identity. It has no power in itself."

King Aichemore paused in her voice and said, "Although Ssayali imprisoned me for 15 years, his management of the Kugits is still remarkable, and he even made some mistakes in killing each other among the tribes." Although I hate him, I also acknowledge his efforts. Otherwise, how could I stay in Turga for 15 years? As long as I want to leave, there is no place in the world that I can't leave."

"Okay, I promise you"

The fat man rolled his eyes and finally made up his mind.

"But one thing must be explained. Natu's army must be under the management of Wikiia."

"It's natural"

Queen Aichemore nodded without any resistance,

But the smile on her lips made Fatty feel a little uneasy. This woman was definitely hiding something, but what exactly was she hiding?
