Number One Player of Time and Space Chapter 840: Question of Esthers
"The Number One Player of Time and Space ()"
"Okay."
Luo Jie was about to take over the croquettes from "Esdes", but "Esdes" suddenly grabbed his head and slightly leaned over to cover his lips.
Ah...this...
Luo Jie couldn't help but widen his eyes, staring in surprise at the "Esdes" who was familiar from the inside out and seemed to be a little strange now.
When did the Queen become so provocative?
"Is it interesting?" "Esdes" raised his head, seeming to be satisfied with Luo Jie's reaction. He fluffed the long hair that fell near his ears and smiled: "I just saw a couple on the roadside just like this I did, so I want to try..."
It turned out to be sold now.
Wait, the one who lowered his head to feed the **** just now was obviously a man, right?
"Esdes" What are you expecting in your eyes? It’s impossible for me to punch your chest with a small punch...
"Well, that... tastes really good. I will show you the fish market and the port terminal."
Luo Jie coughed slightly and turned off the subject.
After making a round in Haiqing City, the carriage returned to the Lord's Mansion again.
Luo Jie was not in a hurry to get off the car, knocked on the window to signal the driver to leave first, and asked "How do you feel?"
"Esdes" thought about it for a while, and gave a truthful evaluation: "Although I don't know much about internal affairs, I can see that your generals are governed quite well, and the smiles of the people are real, and Something I can’t say--but I still don’t understand, how do you induce a night attack? As far as I know, they have always only attacked the officials and nobles who are oppressing the people for disaster."
Luo Jie smiled, stretched out his index finger and shook: "Perhaps this is the case for the night attack, but the high-level rebels are definitely not."
"Esdes" became interested, and leaned on the soft seat back and raised his legs, doing an earful gesture.
"The rebels are currently in the south. Although they have captured many of the empire's cities, they are only occupied. The lives of the people have not been fundamentally improved, and even worse due to the repeated tug of war between the empire and the rebels. Hardship."
"The reason why the people stayed in the area controlled by the rebels is because the senior rebels drew them a beautiful pie. Rather than fleeing to other places and continuing to live a life of oppression and exploitation by officials and nobles, it is better Stay and grit your teeth and gamble on the future."
"But the people are also the most pragmatic. It was because there was no way to survive wherever they fled, so they chose to go to the dark side by side with the rebels, but if there is a place where they can have work and food What?"
"Esdes" is not the kind of aristocratic eldest lady who doesn't know the sufferings of the people. Growing up on the northern border of the cold and cold, she has also experienced hunger and cold, and she also knows what kind of life the people at the bottom want.
"Are you talking about Haiqingcheng?"
"Yes, according to recent statistics by local officials, ordinary people from the rebel-controlled areas have begun to appear in Haiqing City to ask for life. And this is just the beginning. As long as these people have a firm foothold in Haiqing City, It will form a demonstration effect and attract more people from the rebel-occupied areas to Taidong Province."
"Whether it is soldiers or logistical support, the war is ultimately fought by people. In recent years, the rebel forces have been expanding because of the support of the people behind them, but once the people flee in large numbers, their foundation will be shaken directly. "
"Although the rebels are chanting slogans for the people, they never want to see this kind of peaceful and prosperous scene appearing on the empire's territory. In order to preserve their rights, the high-level rebels now have only two choices-one One is to block roads and prohibit people from going to the imperial ruling area; the other is to find a way to destroy Haiqing City and completely cut off the hope in the hearts of the people."
"The first type is definitely unrealistic. Once a mandatory blockade is implemented, the rebels will lose the morality they have always advertised. By then, they will lose not only the hearts of the people, but also the hearts of the military."
"So their only choice is to destroy Haiqingcheng, the rising city of hope."
"The fastest, and also the most once-and-for-all way to destroy Haiqing City, is naturally to kill me, the acting lord who created everything."
"In fact, I have been assassinated by rebel assassins before, but they obviously miscalculated the defense force of the lord’s mansion and our personal strength, and the dozen or so assassins sent by them were wiped out."
"That's it, it is a good plan."
"Esdes" nodded approvingly. Although she is more accustomed to using violence to solve problems, it does not hinder her appreciation and recognition of wisdom itself.
She has always spoiled Luo Jie, but she doesn't want her lover to be a waste who needs to live under her protection forever.
But she also knows that because of Teigu [Demon Appearance·Essence of Demons], there is no man in this world who can match her in strength.
Now Luo Jie has demonstrated extraordinary planning ability and territorial management ability, which from a certain angle can be regarded as making up for the regret in her heart.
"According to the practice of the rebels, if the ordinary assassin fails to assassinate, the next night attack will inevitably be sent."
The doubt in "Esdes" was gone, she nodded, and suddenly stared at Luo Jie's eyes with a very serious expression. The silent silence made the air in the whole car seem to freeze instantly.
Luo Jie had foreseen such a scene a long time ago, and smiled calmly: "Just ask what you want."
"Well, the last question, I hope your answer will not disappoint me." "Esdes" took a deep breath, put his hand on the saber around his waist, and the cold cold teared his eyes. There was a flash of reluctance at that moment, "I heard that you have wiped out thousands of pirates on 13 islands on the sea overnight without mobilizing the city defense forces. Obviously, this is not something you can do alone—what is it? Who is helping you?"
Luo Jie knew that the pirate incident was the only flaw he revealed when he traveled through Haiqingcheng. Perhaps others hadn't noticed it, but he definitely couldn't hide the "Esdes" who was extremely sensitive to battle.
Fortunately, he was prepared for this, staring calmly into the eyes of "Esdes", and replied: "I hired a team of killers."
"Killer?"
"Esdes" was a little surprised. She suspected that Luo Jie had reached a deal with some power, or simply a spy of a certain power planted in the empire, but she did not expect to get such an answer.
"I came here as a bait. I may face the assassination of the rebels at any time. Even many local nobles want my life. In this case, I hire a few masters to protect My safety, while working for me, does not seem to be incomprehensible, right?"
"Esdes" slowly lowered his hand on the hilt, but still did not fully believe Luo Jie's explanation.
"What kind of killer is it that can kill thousands of pirates overnight? Why have I never heard of such a powerful person in the empire?"
"But the leader of the killer organization said that she knows you very well and used to cook mushrooms in the wild together."
The words of Luo Jie made "Esdes"'s eyelids jump, subconsciously remembering the shameful scene of childhood, and the first kiss that was almost lost~IndoMTL.com~The killer you mentioned The leader of the organization...could it be a woman with a mole on her left eye? "
Luo Jie smiled noncommitantly, pushed the car door and jumped out of the carriage, snapped his fingers towards the deserted courtyard.
"Melard" in the iconic tight-fitting killer outfit, together with female futon members "Cassandola", "Gilbert", "Taiko", "Mi La", "Loris" and others One after another jumped out of the window of the mansion beside the courtyard, and fell on one knee in front of the carriage one after another.
"Master Tazmi!"
The expression of "Esdes" is a bit complicated, but then there is a relaxed smile at the corner of his mouth.
Sure enough, it was the Oberg Killer Association.
As an organization that has been on the empire's blacklist, "Esdes" knows the situation of this assassination of killers in the name of the **** of death. They have no political stance, and they are just a group of killing tools for collecting money and doing things.
It’s just one thing that makes "Esdes" feel a little strange. She has clearly seen the news that the Oberg Killer Association has been destroyed in the Imperial Reports, why these people still appear in front of her alive ?
But this kind of doubt just passed in her mind, after all, it didn't matter.
Auberge's killer association still exists in the world, which means that the report she saw was wrong, and it was enough to know this.
"Esdes, speaking of which we haven't seen each other for ten years, you are more beautiful than ten years ago."
"Melard" stood up, winked and smiled, provocatively licking his lips at "Esdes".
"I'm stronger than ten years ago." "Esdes" smiled coldly, the cold air in his raised palm, the lawn under his feet quickly condensed a piece of frost, "If you dare to do to me I’ll freeze you up and throw you on the iceberg in the extreme north."
