Throne Steps

It is almost everyone's guess that the southwest garrison will attack Suoyang and force the military orders.But when it really started, the news exploded in all intelligence circles like a thunder on the ground.

Li Chen's first reaction when he heard the news was: "Is Rose Color sick if you beat Suoyang in winter?"

Although the Southwest Garrison may be the most suitable force to fight against Suoyang among all the large bases, in fact, Fujalal's faction did not have more information about Suoyang.Li Chen's guess was also based on the fact that if the southwest garrison really grasped the key to attacking Suoyang, it would be absolutely impossible to divide into two factions to argue in the royal court.Hitting Suo Yang directly in one fell swoop, there will always be times when Wang Ting let go, and the merits will definitely outweigh the mistakes.

Isn't that what Saenz did when he took down the wolf den?

Now the color of rose is actively attacking, but there are three things missing.One is not being able to find out the details of the opponent, the other is to send troops in winter, and the third is the most important point - Suo Yang has not publicly declared "independence" at all, and the royal court has not given a clear order to recover!

Of course, the Raetia continent as a whole is still a place where the news is not very circulated, and there is no need to pretend to be a righteous little friend to spread the word everywhere in a small fight.Suoyang has not paid taxes for ten years, and his revolutionary position is already obvious. Since the signing of the "Contract with Human Beings", he was the first one to show up to die, and he will be punished sooner or later.The difficulty lies in the rebellion in such a small town. If the power of the whole country is mobilized to crush it, it will be too ugly.But the meat is only such a small piece, the wolf eyes of a group of nobles are shining, and the color of rose and navy blue is still fighting in the nest.Rose is currently in a passive situation in the royal court, and it is about to celebrate the new year. She plans to try to explore Yang while everyone is relaxing, and also tries to force the military order by "real" sending troops.

However, "sending troops in winter" is well said, but what is actually dispatched is not the main combat force of the Southwest Garrison.The transfer order from the royal court had not yet been issued, and it was impossible for the Southwest Garrison to really attack Suoyang no matter what - the Southwest Garrison was a national army and not a private soldier of Rose Color - so they had to find a random reason and get the approval of a colonel-level officer A small army went to Suoyan.

This absurd reason, specifically, is that "a soldier disappeared during the military exercise, Suoyang who crossed the Huatzburg swamp to the other side is suspected, or a spy who was in ambush in the southwest garrison for Suoyang".

Li Chen said, why does this kind of trespassing mode of "I have to look for someone who is missing" sounds so familiar?

Although everyone has spent a lot of money to raise spies, this is indeed not the era of "all the information in the world is in one hand".The small troops of the Southwest Garrison were dispatched very secretly. It is said that the small leaders with less than ten people each led their teams into the city.In fact, they are only such a small group of people, and they are not familiar with the place where they live, so they won't be able to poke the key point at once.Coincidentally, on the city lord's recent birthday, he even drove an elephant cart around the city!There were many people on the street, and the windows of the attic buildings on both sides of the road were all open. The squad of the Southwest Garrison felt that they would be sorry for God's help if they didn't assassinate them at this time.So he went out with a knife, but he didn't cut the person, but stabbed a big one in the basket.

Suo Yang had expected such an attack early on, and a few capable ministers took the first step, and directly fished out all the southwestern garrison who could be watched in an orderly manner!

When the elite team entered the city before, the intelligence team was still ignorant and didn't pay attention; when Suo Yang hung the captured soldiers on the city wall, the nearby spies, just like watching the opening performance of an annual drama, all took This hilarious broadcast went out.

The top nobles originally paid more attention to the game of the royal court, but when they turned around, they saw such a big joy—it was the color of rose that was embarrassing anyway—for a while, the information circle was almost turned into a gossip circle.

Not to mention the fact that he didn't make the first shot, he even startled the snake and lost his face.This is a typical case of stealing chickens and losing rice. After all these years of arrogance in the southwestern garrison, Rose Color finally made a fool of herself.

And Saenz from Tadan in the north recruited the "Black Swan" and the head of the intelligence department this time, just to squeeze out more information from the only operation of Rose Color this time, about Suoyang, and also about Suoyang. Fugerald.

Li Chen's thoughts were still stuck in the excitement of the elite squad, and he said with emotion: "Hey, why is the Southwest Garrison so weak. Seeing that spring is about to begin, it's a good time to besiege the city..." But now that he made a big mistake, Not to mention that they themselves did not dare to approach Suoyang blatantly, even the color of navy blue was a little weaker in asking for military orders in the royal court.

Li Chen also finds it rare that Fujalal can nod his head.However, he was watching a play between the two families before, maybe he didn't have the right to make a decision on this matter, and he might have a little more right to speak because of this matter.Li Chen thought about it, and felt that Fujalal was knowing but indulged on purpose.

But all this is still Li Chen's conjecture, and it is not easy for him to ask Saenz for confirmation, because Saenz is pinning him down with coercion because of his distraction.

Xiao En is a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world: "I really admire you, you dare to talk nonsense about what your Highness says."

"Suoyang's news is missing, even if they are asked to encircle them in the early spring, they may not be able to encircle them." Saenz withdrew his coercion coldly, but still responded to Li Chen's sigh, "The reward order for the lone wolf is also high The guild has been tasked for many years, and the number of attackers is unknown, so it has not stood still for so long."

Such an obviously flattering conversation, but Li Chen nodded and said only one sentence: "Your Highness taught you the right thing, but I went in the wrong direction."

Seeing that Li Chen didn't climb the pole, Xiao En was a little confused for a moment.But she didn't think too much, and just continued the previous topic and said: "Spies are everywhere in Suoyang, and no strict inspections have been seen when entering and leaving the city. I don't know if Suoyang is weak or not afraid."

Saenz usually doesn't open his mouth for discussions of this level, so only Li Chen, who has kept up with the topic, replied: "A city that refuses to pay taxes can't be accomplished by three or two people. If the real manager in Soyanli has already If they are completely colluding, they must advance and retreat together. Even if the streets are full of spies, it may be difficult to break into them."

Sean replied: "If they just maintain the status quo, it's not easy for us to catch 'independence'."

Yes, the handle.Every force is staring at Suo Yang, as long as the right handle is grasped, the balance of the game will be broken.At that time, even if the southwestern garrison is a faction that is pro-rose, they will have to obey the transfer of military orders.It can be said that whoever first grasps the handle of Suoyang's "independence" will seize the opportunity.

Li Chen just laughed: "Forming a party for personal gain, attacking the soldiers, which one can't you report on 'independence'? If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"

He hopped several Chinese idioms in a row. Saenz reacted for a while when he heard it at first, but Sean surrendered directly: "My level of 'Chinese', how can I understand what you mean? ?"

In order to ensure the safety of intelligence, Saenz has taught several people how to use Chinese, and stipulated that it cannot be used unless it is an emergency.Sean, as the head of the intelligence department, was honored to be part of the study group.However, in her own words, learning to write Chinese characters is more difficult than memorizing the ten-line incantations of alchemy back then.

Listening to her complaint, Li Chen glanced at Saenz out of the corner of his eye, and said slowly: "I mean, maybe there is no need to worry about the cause. When you find a sure way to hit one hit, what crime is not a crime?"

Sean looked at him suspiciously: "The southwestern garrison can't move, what other way can you think of to crush Suoyang?"

"The barefoot is afraid of wearing shoes, and the shameless is afraid of dying." Li Chen's words are vulgar, but his posture and tone are full of elegance. "No matter how strong Suoyang's support is, it is also composed of people. Those few The one who rushes in front of the city lord is the person who is the pillar of Suoyang. It is a person, so there is no weakness?"

After so many years by Saenz's side, he showed a gloomy and bloodthirsty side so easily. Although Xiao En has been washed away by the bloody information of "Black Swan" for several years, he still deeply appreciates Chen's strangeness, and he can't help but follow the other side Words: "Weaknesses?"

"Yes. If you can't pinch someone, just pinch his weakness." Li Chen laughed, "If I can't kill a strong adult, there's no reason why I can't kill his immature son, right?"

These words were so white that they couldn't be more white, Xiao En understood Li Chen's proposal in an instant.She glanced at Saenz and felt that the leader did not express his displeasure at this behavior that might hurt the innocent, so she responded to Li Chen's words: "I understand. I will not let go of the handle, and I will not let go of what you said. Will look into it carefully.”

Li Chen nodded, and Xiao En couldn't help but asked again: "I remember you were an orphan? Then your weakness is..."

Li Chen was overjoyed, and pouted in the direction of Saenz: "Here, he is tens of thousands of times stronger than me."

Sean just asked casually, but he didn't expect that he really answered, and the answer was so horrifying. "Weakness" is harder to hit than the deity, can this be called weakness?Speaking of such a weird choice, His Highness himself actually agreed, isn't it from Li Chenkeng?

To some extent, Sean guessed the truth.Today, Saenz would never easily agree to such a teasing promise.

Until now, Saenz just gave Chen a squinting look, and said with a sneer, "Excuse me?"

"What's so embarrassing about it, I will remember your earnest teachings at that time." Li Chen sighed deeply, his solemn tone matched with the black and white uniform on his body, giving birth to a convincing sense of loyalty "Your troubles are my pains, your joys are my happiness, your wishes are my goals, without you I will be alone all my life—"

This daydream sentence was Saenz's response at that time.It was later confirmed that this was indeed an excerpt from the famous epic as Li Chen thought.Li Chen stared into Saenz's eyes, the loyalty contract visibly fluctuated under the oath-like words.

He didn't finish talking.

"Take you as my first consideration, my dearest Highness."
