Jamie was right.

King Richard really didn't want to see him at this time, so that he frowned when he saw him, and he said, "Louis, why are you here?"

Jamie hesitated for a few seconds, then carefully chose his words, and said softly: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty. It's just... I'm a little worried about you."

He cleverly avoided all the questions, just because he knew that with the king's always domineering temperament, he might not be willing to take the initiative to discuss anything with him, and, when others were upset, the more they asked questions, the more likely they would be. annoying.

So, he simply made an emotional expression.In this way, there is no risk in expressing concern. Even if the king wants to anger him, he can't catch any mistakes.

These ideas are clearly on the right track.

After King Richard heard what he said, the tense expression on his face eased a lot.

Afterwards, His Majesty the King took the initiative to hold Jamie's hand, smiled at him, and explained gently: "Honey, I don't mean to blame you, but during this period, many people have made trouble with me." , I'm really busy."

Jamie pretended to be serious and listened carefully, occasionally not forgetting to continue to flatter one or two words earnestly: "Those who cause trouble for His Majesty are really damned, but no matter what, I believe His Majesty will be able to subdue them."

King Richard couldn't help staring at him, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He has always had the temperament to look at beauty a few more times, so even at such a disturbing moment, he knows in his heart that there are still many troublesome things to be resolved.But after seeing Jamie, he smiled again, and sighed again: "Dear Louis, if those nobles are as loyal as you, I don't have to worry about anything."

Thinking of his pen names, Jamie couldn't help but smile guiltily.

But the king didn't know what was going on in his mind, so he immediately picked up another topic to talk about.

At that time, both parties happened to want to have a friendly exchange, so they tried their best to chat.

Jamie tried his best to turn the topic to more than 20 "progressive youths" who were arrested, but because he didn't dare to do it too deliberately, he never got any chance, but he kept trying to echo;

And the king seemed to have something to say, but his eyes flickered and he hesitated to speak. In the end, he didn't say anything. He just casually said that "there seems to be an uprising among the people in such and such a place": "According to a report from below, The first report only said that there were more than a dozen people making trouble; but the subsequent report said that there were more than 200 people! The subsequent report actually said that the number of people has risen to several thousand..."

When Jamie heard this, he couldn't help opening his eyes wide, and looked surprised: "Ah, how many thousand people?"

King Richard sneered, and said in disbelief, "Do you really believe it?"

Then, without waiting for Jamie to answer, he said a series of angry words: "At the beginning, there were only a few dozen people, but in a few days, it has become thousands of people. Do you think I am stupid? Look, this is either a matter of people's hearts. Panic, pure nonsense; or someone lied about the number of people and pretended to be the leader of the army. There is no third possibility!"

Jamie made an 'I see' look.

But in fact, his thinking is exactly the opposite of the king's analysis. He believes that the report of thousands of people is true, and the number may even be more than a few thousand.

As for... the report of dozens or hundreds of people at the beginning, it is very likely that the local officials were worried that there would be riots under the rule, and they would be punished by their superiors with excuses. , only then began to tell the truth.

But he didn't want to tell the king about these thoughts, he just pretended to have no doubts about the king's analysis.

King Richard did not doubt that he had him, and sarcastically said: "The garrisons in various places are usually well-trained to deal with those tens, hundreds...even if there are thousands of untouchables who are not in the right place. I want to order reinforcements, among them... If there is nothing wrong with it, I don't believe it."

After hearing his words, Jamie finally understood what was going on.

Because, before that, he had personally helped the rebels revise articles such as "Why We Uprising", so it was impossible for him to define the rebel army as a mob of incompetent people like the king. Pondering the news in your mind:

"The news about the garrison's reinforcements is probably true! Although I haven't seen the specific combat power of the rebel army, I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but in the past few years, there have been natural and man-made disasters, and I can't live. I'm afraid that people will not survive." Desperate?"

"As for His Majesty's unexpected thoughts...I'm afraid that the nobles have been dancing so much recently that the sudden reinforcements of the garrison troops in various places have touched His Majesty's sensitive nerves."

"Maybe...he mistakenly thought that this was a threat planned by the nobles; or maybe, he mistakenly thought that the nobles deliberately exaggerated and lied, and they were taking the opportunity to ask him for benefits, for example, the local military leadership and management rights... ..."

"Yes! It should be like this."

Although he successfully analyzed the cause and effect of this incident, Jamie was not at all proud of it, because he did not mention the uprising first, but simply discussed the facts - such a major issue involving the stability of the country, the king and the nobles They actually failed to reach an agreement as soon as possible, not to mention the delay, and they were still intriguing, suspicious of each other, and wary of each other...

"Forget it, don't mention these boring things."

At this moment, before Jamie could finish thinking, King Richard suddenly ended the topic, switched to talking about other things, and asked with great concern: "By the way, have you been talking to that mad hatter recently?" Do you want to scold the people?"

Jamie was taken aback, almost thinking that he accidentally fell off the horse, and only realized when he heard the word "swearing", he should be referring to the back and forth between "Faceless Man" and "Mad Hatter" a while ago Cursing at each other, he quickly pretended to be very annoyed, and replied bitterly: "That shameless rat seems to be hiding in the rat hole again recently, and doesn't respond to me very much."

There was a cold look in Richard's eyes, and he immediately promised: "Don't worry, Louis. When I am free, I will definitely send someone to arrest him. When I catch him, I will hand him over to you to deal with , let you vent your anger!"

After he finished the promise, there was still a trace of anger on his face, and then he swore an oath, and said angrily: "These troublemakers who play with words and incite the people are absolutely hateful! Among them, the most hateful one is that generation of mad hatters." , the second generation of the Mad Hatter... By the way, there is also that progressive young man who has emerged recently!"

What?Progressive youth?

Jamie cheered up, did not interrupt the king's words, but immediately pricked up his ears to listen!

"Speaking of the progressive young man, his ability to demagogue people is really great. I only wanted to kill him, but I didn't want so many people to die for him. If I don't have free time to deal with it, I must Satisfy these people... Heh, since I want to die for them, I will let them get what they want! It's just not right now..."

Jamie listened and felt a little relieved.

He thought about the noisy nobles in the court, and estimated that the king would not have any leisure in a short time.

King Richard was still speaking harshly at this time: "But in the future, I will send someone to capture those people one by one, and then hang them all on the wooden frame. Dear Louis, you must keep in mind What I say today! Those people I mentioned just now, sooner or later I will not let go of any of them!"

Jamie took a deep breath, trying not to let his expression change strangely, looked at the king sincerely, and said very seriously: "I believe in you, Your Majesty!"

In his heart, he couldn't help but quietly added: "Actually, it doesn't take so much trouble to catch them one by one. You can count me by hanging me alone!"
