Why did the lord rebel

Chapter 100 I found a new person for you

"Knight Commander Cousins, the person you said...is he reliable?" Xia Houyan stared at Cousins ​​suspiciously.

Lord Lord knows very well that the most precious character of a diplomat is not quick thinking or articulation, but loyalty!

This profession, which controls the foreign relations of the territory, once betrays or leaks secrets, the harm caused will be immeasurable!

"This person is absolutely reliable!" Cousins ​​hammered his chest properly, "He is the one that I played with since I was a child, and even served as a clerk in Eagle's End for a long time. Back then, your father could be extremely trustworthy. Hand over the confidential documents to him!"

Xia Houyan blinked.

There are indeed many intellectuals such as clerks, accountants, and scholars in the two migration teams from Eagle's End Fort, but because these people have no productive capacity, they were all put into use by him... The business team went to do chores. , and it has not received much attention from the top of the territory.

"Lord Lord, the most important thing is that this person's business ability is extremely outstanding!" Cousins ​​gave a thumbs up excitedly, "He once defended his title five times in a row at the triennial debate conference in Eagle's End Fort. The champion is an eloquent genius!"

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of everyone present changed, and they all scolded "Damn".

Only Xia Houyan was kept in the dark, his face blank, and he looked at Master Laurie, whose expression changed drastically.

"Lord Lord, I seem to know who Knight Commander Cousins ​​is talking about..." Master Laurie said with a strange and difficult expression, "I can only say that this person is a household name in Eagle's End Castle, and he does have some talent... "

"So he really won five debates?" Xia Houyan said in surprise, "That's a bit amazing!"

"Uh... to be precise, it's not that he 'won' the five debates..." Katerina added in a hesitant tone, with a lingering expression on her face, "He only really won one of them, But in the other four finals, his opponents all suffered heart problems and lost the game halfway through..."

Xia Houyan: "..."

"So, I brought him here to show you?" Cousins ​​asked impatiently.

Xia Houyan, with some kind of negative attitude of breaking the pot, made a decision: "Let him come over!"

……

Before long, Aaron Cousins ​​walked into the tent with a middle-aged man.

Contrary to Xia Houyan's expectations, this man was not the thin and thin clerk he had imagined wearing thick black-rimmed glasses. Instead, he had a big waist, a burly stature, and a beard on his face. His majesty was not at all about the Cousins ​​Knight. under long.

"Little man Bob Brook, see Lord Lord!" He bowed awkwardly and bowed to Xiahou Yan, the fat on his stomach was squeezed out of folds, "Lord Lord, you call the villain 'Bao Yan'. Bo' is fine."

With the name alone, Xia Houyan felt that this product was something that could be made. At least going to a certain imperial town to open a tavern would definitely have a future.

He gave Cousins ​​a wink.

So, Cousins ​​briefly explained to Bob Brook that the current conflict between Frost Maple Ridge and Grand Duke Rosario - the shrewd Cousins ​​did not reveal all the sensitive details, but it was enough to make him Bob, who is outside the decision-making circle, understands the current diplomatic dilemma and policy orientation of Lord Lord.

Seeing Brooke listening to Cousins' words, thoughtfully, Lord Lord gave his interview questions:

"Mr. Brooke, if I were to entrust you with an envoy to the East, and send a formal letter to Grand Duke Rosario to ask for the 'start-up capital' he had previously guaranteed, what would you write?"

For some reason, he has a sense of sight that he is writing the English composition questions for the college entrance examination.

Brook narrowed his eyes, pinched his chin and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said solemnly: "Lord Lord, please give me a pen and paper!"

Lawrence, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly picked up a pen and paper and handed it to the black-faced strong man.

Including Xia Houyan, all the senior officials of Shuangfengling who were present watched with interest as Brook picked up the quill and walked around on the paper—everyone knew that he was a very quick debater, but No one has ever seen his writing skills.

It didn't take a few minutes for Bob Brook to fill a piece of paper and put down the pen in satisfaction.

Just at this writing speed, there is quite a bit of style of relying on horses, thousands of words, and writing in seven steps, which is enough to make a group of online writers dove weirdly ashamed.

"Lord Lord, can I read it to you?" Brooke asked respectfully, holding the diplomatic letter he had prepared with both hands.

"Read!" Xia Houyan waved his hand.

Bob Brook cleared his throat and read aloud:
"Dear Grand Duke Grim Rosario, I wish you a long life - even in the bloody and precarious Eastern Front, your chances of longevity may not be great."

There was a sudden silence in the tent.

Only Brooke continued reading without realizing it:

"So, I can only be with my daughter and wish your mother a long life... oh, sorry, I forgot, I don't have a daughter yet, and you don't have a mother, she passed away more than ten years ago ...

"Then, I can only extend my sincerest greetings to each of your ancestors who have passed away!
"My lord, Bob Brook, on behalf of Lord Elliot Igor, Lord of Frost Maple Ridge, I have come here to discuss the relationship between you and my territory. For a diplomat like me, sent by other nobles Envoy, you neither sent a special car to pick you up, nor did you give hospitality in line with your aristocratic status. Your thrifty in your territorial wealth and resource expenditure is enough to make those of us who are still abiding by the basic etiquette of the empire feel ashamed.

"Besides that, the Territory must appreciate the excellence of your intelligence work - we recently discovered that your Whitehall spies have penetrated into all corners of the Empire, including the Southern Moors, which perfectly reflects your commitment to every piece of The attention and love of Imperial Land - whether it belongs to you or not!
"Your overwork, and your strong will to manage the realm in place of other lords, fully demonstrates your great blueprint and ambition as a patriot; one day, we may report this to His Majesty the Emperor and ask His Majesty to grant you the due diligence. Awarded!
"At the same time, Lord Igor, as the only legitimate lord in the Land of Split Souls, would like to express my heartfelt thanks to you for your special care for the situation in the Southern Wasteland!

"You fully consider that our territory does not have the ability to crusade bandits and bandits, so you cleverly used the spy Mr. Karim Lodge to mislead, forcing our territory to disregard the safety of the people's lives and take great risks to launch an attack on the Moon God Village. Crusade, this is an excellent manifestation of your extraordinary wisdom and political art as a great strategist!

"Just as your other spies must have secretly reported to you before me, the only envoy of the only legitimate lord of the Soul Splitting Land, the Moon God Village has completely surrendered to our territory.

"Although our territory has suffered incalculable casualties and material losses during the crusade against the Moon God Village, we are still very honored to be able to complete the strategic task of expelling alien races that should belong to you on your behalf! One day, we can let you share this unspeakable joy and happiness together!
"Respected Archduke Rosario, as the old saying goes, cooperation will benefit both, and fighting will hurt both; the old saying goes, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"Although our territory is extremely eager to continue to serve you, due to the lack of materials and personnel caused by trying to complete your last mission, our territory does not have this capability for the time being.

"At the same time, Lord Elliot Igor noticed with indignation that some people in Frost Maple Ridge have misunderstood the diplomatic attitude of your territory: a large number of self-organized representatives of public opinion have groundlessly accused you of being in Use Shuangfengling to borrow a knife to kill people and murder the precious lives of the people of Shuangfengling!
"Of course, Lord Igor, who has great confidence in your noble sentiments, has already dealt with similar untruthful remarks, but in the bad atmosphere of severe shortage of supplies, Lord Lord is deeply worried that similar public opinions may appear again... …

"Therefore, in order to maintain the friendly relationship between your territory and ensure the common interests of all the people of the Empire, Lord Igor proposes to you: I hope you can take some responsibility for the status quo of our territory and strengthen the construction process of your territory. The exchange of materials and personnel in China, realize the balanced development of your territory and curb the serious inequality between the rich and the poor.

"On behalf of Lord Elliot Igor, I would like to warn you: the situation in the southern wasteland is extremely important to the overall strategic situation of the empire, and the armed forces at the disposal of Igor's territory are stronger than what your spy reported!
"I believe that no citizen of the empire will hope that the vicious provocation of some hostile forces will cause discord between your territories and eventually endanger the overall situation of the empire and unreasonably deplete the military power that should be used to fight the federal orcs. Not in advance!

"Finally, I extend my sincerest greetings to you! The head of the Igor family, the former lord of Eagle's Rest Castle, the current lord of Frost Maple Ridge, the only guardian of the Wasteland of Soul Crack, Lord Eliot Igor Sincerely, Plenipotentiary, Bob Brook."

After reading a large diplomatic document, Brooke put down the manuscript and raised his head with a smile.

No one in the tent spoke, and the room was dead silent.

Xiahou Yan sat on the main seat of the tent.

His eyes, from Aaron Cousins ​​to Bob Brook, then from Bob Brook back to Aaron Cousins.

"Sometimes, I do think..." The lord stabbed his cheek with his hand, thoughtfully and hoarsely, "How did the little Eagle's Breath Castle gather together such a young dragon and phoenix?"

Both Cousins ​​and Brooke were a little confused:
The cultural difference caused by the literal translation of Chinese words into the common language of the empire makes them unable to fully understand what the lord is saying;
However, "sleeping dragon" and "young phoenix" should be good words to praise people, right?

So, Brook bowed humbly to the lord to show his gratitude.

"Okay, okay!" In the end, Master Laurie broke the deadlock and glared at Brook and said angrily, "Bob, what the hell are you writing? Go away! Lord Lord, let's try another diplomat candidate. try!"

"No!" Xia Houyan suddenly said, "Just use this, I like it! Mr. Bob Brook, I have decided that this time, you will represent our Frost Maple Ridge and go to the Grand Duchy of Rosario! "

In the dull eyes of everyone, Brook was a little stunned at first, but he came back to his senses and bowed to the lord again happily.
