Traitor Summoning System [Infrastructure]

The breath of winter is getting less and less, and the further north you go, the more you can feel that spring is coming.

When we arrived near Blazing Sun City, we could see a lot of bulging new shoots on the trees. Maybe one day they would pierce the skin and swell and burst into new branches, bursting with vitality wantonly.Birds began to build nests, sparrows, gray magpies, coal tits, black cuckoos...they were all jumping on the branches, chirping and joyful.Everything is full of vitality and peace, equality and mutual love, and everything is harmonious.

Wei Zhongxian contacted the spies from Sunlun City, who said: "Since winter, many people have come to Sunlun City. Among them are people from Dark Night Black. They sneaked in at night and entered the palace."

Wei Zhongxian reported to Leonard, and Leonard reported to Graham.

Leonard said to Graham: "It looks like Crown Reid is colluding with Night Black."

Graham: "Well..." This is undoubtedly bad news, but fortunately it is not bad news, and they are already mentally prepared.

He Shen interjected next to him: "If the royal family and Black reach an agreement—if they do that, it should be that we have colluded with other rebels, and we have become rebels."

He Shen was quite excited, he had done everything, but he had never been a traitor.

Leonard looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Then who is Crown Reid in power now? Who made this decision?"

Wei Zhongxian said, "I only have a few months, so I can only inquire about folk news. If I were given three years, I would be able to inquire about the news in the palace."

His words made Graham look at him a few more times, after all, Wei Zhongxian's implication was really too scary for nobles.

Leonard looked at Graham: "Then brother, who do you think is in power?"

As the Duke's heir, Graham naturally knew a thing or two about this: "It's either the crown prince or the second prince."

"That's it." Leonard scratched his head, "But even knowing this change doesn't seem to help us."

"But in fact, now we are facing a problem, which is what Zhi Zhai just said." Wei Zhongxian said, "If Crown Reid chooses Dark Night Black, then we will become rebels instead."

"Oh yes." Leonard turned to look at Graham: "Brother, what are you going to do?"

Before Graham could answer, He Shen said, "Some of our subordinates will mutiny."

"Of course we can declare now that we are the king killed by Dark Night Black—in fact, we should as soon as possible, but at that time we will completely put the confrontation on the surface." Wei Zhongxian said, "If we lose in the future, then we will not lose. Will be tolerated by the nobles, I mean we will be beheaded directly."

"Yes, so now we..." Leonard said, "What do you think, brother?"

These questions were placed in front of Graham, and Graham's expression was a little cracked: "You...say one by one."

Even Graham was a little dizzy from the three of them.

Discuss problems together to form a brainstorm.

And then completely confused the eldest brother.

……

Thorn Green's army stopped outside Blazing Sun City, and Crown Rhett's waiter came over that afternoon, saying that Graham would lead some cronies into Blazing Sun Castle to discuss matters together.

Graham shied away and said that he would prefer to act in unison after the other two families came over.

Soon, Eagle Bruce and Earth Brown also arrived.

Eagle Bruce's cavalry looked strong and strong, as expected of a family known for their cavalry.

Leonard looked at their galloping horses from the side, and felt that they didn't really want to be enemies with each other.

But Lu Bu really wanted to fight Bruce the Eagle.

Leonard speculated enthusiastically: "Is it because you want to fight the opponent's cavalry? Let them see who is the real strongest cavalry on the continent?"

Leonard put on a pose and said with a gloomy face, "Open your eyes and see, who is in charge now."

Lu Bu: "..."

Lu Bu: "I haven't thought about it that much..."

Leonard was in the middle of hilariously, but he was taken aback when he heard this: "Huh?"

Lu Bu: "Actually, I was thinking, if they were our opponents, we would be able to capture a lot of horses if we defeated them. A horse is so expensive..."

Leonard hates iron but not steel: "Why are you like Zhizhai?"

Wei Zhongxian: "Well... Although I understand what the lord means, but the lord said this is not fair to Zhi Zhai..."

He Shen also hated iron for being weak: "Why are you like me?"

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

Wei Zhongxian: "Let's just pretend that our family didn't say anything."

The tense situation is present, but there is a happy atmosphere in the camp.

It was really fun to be with all of you.

……

After the eagle Bruce gathered with Earth Brown and Thorn Green, Crown Rhett sent an envoy to let them go with them.

"I don't think it's necessary for us to go to the Imperial City alone now," Graham said.He didn't say anything about the intelligence because he didn't trust those two families.

"It's too dangerous." Leonard added on the side, and it was inconvenient for Graham to say something, so he said it.

"You sound like a coward," said Earl Brown.

"I sounded like someone trying to survive," Leonard said.

The meeting broke up badly.

After coming out, Graham fell into deep thought again.

He Shen said over there: "On the surface, they haven't convinced them, maybe they have already scared the snake."

Wei Zhongxian said: "If you ask me, don't say it at the time. Anyway, those who collude will always collude. If the Duke of Earth Brown and Eagle Bruce happens to die or be imprisoned in the Imperial City, we can take the opportunity to take it." The opponent's military power has been lowered."

The pupils of Graham's confidants trembled. What kind of trick is this? It's too scary.

He used to think that the name of the scarlet lord was just a gimmick, but now listening to his subordinates' strategies, what is this? It's too scary.Is this the Scarlet Lord? !

Graham has always had facial paralysis, so he can't see anything.

Leonard glanced at Wei Zhongxian: "Don't be an afterthought."

Wei Zhongxian shrugged: "Okay." He understood that Leonard still agreed with his strategy, but he just avoided appearing too evil in front of his elder brother.

Lu Bu: "Huh? Zhuge Liang after the fact? Is Zhuge Liang from the Zhuge family? Why is Zhuge Liang an afterthought?"

Everyone: "..."

Leonard suddenly died laughing.

The crowd was dumbfounded.

It is really difficult to explain this to contemporaries.

……

In the end, Eagle Bruce didn't go to the imperial city, Earth Brown went, and then came back smoothly.

Earl Brown said dissatisfied: "The crown prince is very dissatisfied with you and asked me why you didn't come to the imperial city."

It looks like nothing happened.

But something must have happened.

Well, according to intelligence, it is known that Crown Reid has a problem now, and Earth Brown has no problem after seeing Crown Reid, which means that Earth Brown had a problem from the beginning.

Moreover, he also used such words to alienate Eagle Bruce.Because Duke Bruce listened to Graham's persuasion and did not go to the imperial city, and now he was 'blamed' by the crown prince, so he must be a little unhappy with Graham.

Now it looks like two against three, which is not good.

Leonard looked back at Lu Bu and found that Lu Bu was very excited.

All right.There wasn't much mental pressure at all.

……

The military rations for this expedition can be described as various, including meat, vegetables, and staple foods, which are very rich.

Leonard also wanted to imitate Zhuge Liang and lure the enemy army with delicious food in the middle of the night.

Among them, all kinds of dried seafood are meat.

Flower snail, also known as "Dongfeng snail" and "Nanfeng snail", these two nicknames are very strange, one is Dongfeng and the other is South wind.

Flower snails are known as the most promising marine aquaculture species. The meat of flower snails is delicious, nutritious, and the yield is also good. It is a very economically valuable seafood.

Leonard naturally wouldn't let this flower snail go.

Naturally, the food on the march cannot be compared with that in the castle, but it is also very different from the food of other armies.

On this day, the main dish in Leonard's small kitchen is the flower snail, boiled flower snail in spicy wine, a famous Hunan dish.The name sounds hot and delicious, and it tastes exactly like that.

This is also the last meal of live seafood, and the rest will be dry goods.

First put the snails in the water and spit out the sand, then boil the water in the pot, pour the clean snails into the pot for a few minutes, then remove the snails and lift the lid of the snails, so that it will be more delicious up.

The snails are boiled in chicken broth, in which spices, onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, cinnamon, bay leaves and pepper are added.Boil these spices in the soup for later use.

Then began to fry the snails.

It is still sautéing the snails with green onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant, then add a lot of hot sauce, sugar, salt, and finally add the chicken broth and spirits that have just been cooked, and pour some rose wine, and it is done.

Delicious flower snails, rich and mellow sauce, delicious spicy seafood, refreshing and not greasy taste, eat a mouthful of snail meat, and then suck a sip of juice, the combination of seafood and seasoning sauce is really endless aftertaste.

Use this kind of flower snails with steamed buns, the taste is simply amazing.

Spicy and delicious, it tastes very refreshing, and it goes well with rice.

In addition to what the soldiers ate, Leonard also sent a bowl to Eagle Bruce.As for Dadi Brown and Crown Rhett, forget it.Leonard has been looking for an opportunity to sneak attack them all the way.

……

Duke Bruce was sitting in the tent. He only had a little food at night. He was used to being at home, and he didn't have a good appetite every time he went out.

He doesn't like fighting. To be honest, he just wants to live in the castle, hunt, educate his children, and be his duke well.

Duke Bruce looked out into the night.

He remembered when he was young, when he had a good appetite and was as strong as a cow.At that time, his mind was full of honor, family interests, full of vigor and fighting spirit.Everyone respects him, even his enemies.

He also likes himself like this.

But with age, everything changed.

When he was shot down by his knights during the competition, he no longer liked to fight. He was obsessed with hunting. I still feel like I was back then.

His appetite got worse, his meals got smaller, he started getting tired easily and couldn't get out of bed every morning.He feels sad, he just wants to escape.

The envoy of the Black family came to negotiate with him, saying that Black has a great chance of winning now, you can support us, or stay in your own castle without sending troops, and you will still be the four major families in the future.

When Duke Bruce found out that he actually wanted to agree, he was shocked.

Has he become what he is now without knowing it?

There seemed to be something choked in his throat, and then he said, "Where's the Duke of Green?"

"Duke Green is now visiting Broken Star City." The emissary said proudly, "He also has a son who has already betrayed him. We have a great chance of winning."

Duke Bruce thought of Green, his old buddy.

Green seems to be always taciturn. Bruce was the one who talked the most back then, and he always rushed to the front in battle, but when he turned his head, he could always see Green following him. His eyes were calm. He was not here for passion and fanaticism. Fighting, he was fighting for something deeper.

Until now, he is still fighting.

So Duke Bruce heard himself reply, "Get out of here."

He did not betray his dead king in the end, nor did he betray himself.

But with this expedition, the exhaustion of his body reminded him of his aging again, and he began to feel hesitant and at a loss, especially recently, he could hardly eat anything, and he felt that he would be defeated by himself before he arrived in Broken Star City.

At this moment, an announcement sounded from outside.

"Duke Bruce, I'm Leonard Green, I brought you some snacks, may I come in?"
