"Master, you are the king of this country." Lola said respectfully.
"Yes, I am the king of this country, but only now." Chuck looked into the distance. There was the kingdom of Locke, the territory that chuck now ruled.
But after so many things, especially after knowing how low the combat effectiveness of Locke Kingdom army is, Chuck's ambition can only be buried in the ground.
"Master..." Lola opened her mouth and wanted to comfort chuck not to. Because he actually has a son, and his son is smarter than him.
And Lola also knows that although Yang Xiaotian did not accept afreqi as his apprentice. But when it is confirmed that Lola will not tell chuck afreqi's real identity, Yang Xiaotian will treat afreqi as his apprentice.
Bathing in medicine is not something everyone can enjoy in the Yang family.
Yang Songming is a master of Chinese medicine. But the only person who has received his treatment of taking medicine bath is uncle Wen, the only one who has been educated as an apprentice, in addition to Yang Xiaotian, his eldest grandson.
Now, Yang Xiaotian has two daughters and a son (Jessica has given birth to a son). Although Yang Xiaotian had no time, he didn't tell anyone about the formula of the medicine bath.
And this recipe was also handed down to him by Uncle Wen. Even if Xu Nan is regarded as his own, uncle Wen still doesn't tell Xu Nan, and even Xu Nan doesn't know the existence of this formula.
If it's not that Yang Xiaotian is Yang Songming's grandson, if it's not that Yang Xiaotian has some shadow of Yang Songming, plus the relationship between Yang Xiaotian and Xu Nan. Uncle Wen waited until Yang Xiaotian was about to go to Locke Kingdom, and finally decided to help Yang Xiaotian improve his strength. He also passed on the bath formula that Yang Songming had given him.
Similarly, Yang Xiaotian did not mention this prescription to anyone. Even a few of his own women, Yang Xiaotian did not mention this thing to them.
Afreqi, on the other hand, got the qualification of soaking medicine bath. However, Yang Xiaotian didn't tell afreqi what this medicine bath represented.
Now afreqi is still in King Locke's country, so if there is any accident, afreqi is likely to be involved in this fight.
Therefore, although Yang Xiaotian's heart has recognized that afreqi has the qualification to be his apprentice. But in the end, before afreqi is sure to get rid of the infighting in the Locke Kingdom, afreqi is at most a person who enjoys the rights that an apprentice can enjoy, but does not have the title of an apprentice.
Of course, Lola didn't know about these things. But she's not sure what chuck really thinks, but she's also not sure if chuck will be a little more relaxed about his children because of his loss. Even in his heart, is there a desire for children.
So now, even though Lola knows that this opportunity may be the best one, she can't take afreqi's life as a gamble until she is sure of chuck's mind. She has only one chance. If she makes the wrong bet, she may fail completely.
If she fails, she will be executed by chuck. But this is impossible. With chuck's fear of his sons and brothers, and not long ago, it was found out that doyallo had coveted the throne, and even united with crix to launch an attack on the rock kingdom.
In this case, Lola really can't guarantee that chuck's loss and depression now means that he is really tired and wants to delegate power.
"Well, you go down first. I want to be alone." Seeing Lola stop talking, chuck thinks Lola is trying to persuade him to pick himself up. It's just that chuck is over 60 years old after all, and one's energy is limited.
In the recent period of time, chuck has experienced too many things. His nerves are always tight, and he will be tired.
And the recent experience is too soul stirring, especially for an old man in his sixties. What chuck wants now is to keep his throne until he dies. As for what Locke Kingdom will look like after his death, it's not something he needs to care about.
But now, things are going very differently than he thought.
On the one hand, because of the continuous turmoil, Chuck's reputation among the people is fairly good. However, it is totally different from the situation when Locke Kingdom was treated as a hero wherever he went after leading Locke Kingdom to prosperity at that time.
Even now, there are voices among the people who want chuck to step down. When there were so many and large-scale disturbances, Chuck's response was a little flattering.
Although these are deliberately sought by others, do ordinary people care about this? They only know that when their lives improve, they will naturally be grateful to the leaders. But if their quality of life is reduced, they will only complain. As for why this change occurs, they will not care.
When you talk about patriotism to an ordinary people, they are more at a loss to deal with it.
Chuck listened to this in his ears and was anxious about it in his heart.
But he can't solve all this.
I can't help it. The fighting capacity of the army of Locke Kingdom is a little too terrible. If the combat effectiveness of the army of Locke Kingdom can be doubled, or even if the whole army is destroyed in the last battle, as long as the mercenaries can be completely annihilated.
At that time, crix, who has lost a lot of strength, will definitely become the fat sheep in the eyes of the remaining two mercenary groups!
Taking advantage of this opportunity, chuck can accumulate strength through the training of peacekeeping forces. When the three major mercenary groups fought against each other, he quickly sent troops to the nearby mollman and the western bisai. After the annexation of the two countries, the domestic contradictions will be successfully transferred.
Then, taking advantage of the expansion of the territory, a series of actions were carried out to benefit the country and the people. For example, the construction of water conservancy, or the opening of new preferential policies for teaching and so on.
After all, Locke Kingdom is not short of money.
But now, because the idiots of the army of the kingdom of Locke retreated, not only did they not maim the mercenaries, but on the contrary, the kingdom of Locke lost nearly 60000 troops.
But according to the peacekeepers, at least half of the mercenaries have escaped this time!
This means that although crix's strength was damaged in this encirclement and suppression operation, his loss was not so great as to damage his foundation.
In this way, even though crix's strength will be damaged and coveted by the other two mercenary groups, it is not enough for them to launch all-out efforts to annex crix's territory. If the three major mercenary groups don't fight each other, Chuck's plan to take advantage of the chaos and accumulate strength, and then expel the mercenaries from the kingdom of Locke completely, can't be implemented.
After all, Chuck's plan to fish in troubled waters will have to be suspended if the three mercenary groups don't put all their energy into internal combat.
No matter how good the plan is, if it doesn't conform to the actual situation, it is just a dead letter after all.
What chuck doesn't know is that he's designing other people, and others are designing him, too.
Late at night, the residence of kuchahan in Locke Kingdom--
"What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Kuchahan frowned and looked at the man in front of him. He knew him. His name was kokuton. In the last operation of encircling and suppressing mercenaries, there were about 100 people on two trucks, but there were less than 10 survivors after the war.
Kuchahan didn't have much affection for this man. Because he always feels that this person's mind seems to be very deep. Although he always looks casual, but I don't know why, this casual, but let kuchahan's heart is very uncomfortable.
"Minister kuchahan, there is one thing I want to ask you." Kekuton looked at kuchahan, then glanced at the two guards beside him,
"You go down first." Kuchahan said to the two guards.
"This..." the two guards looked at kuchahan in embarrassment.
"What? Can't I even make a decision about that? " Kuchahan's face was still smiling, but his eyes had already shown a sense of killing.
"Of course not..." the two guards waved their hands.
They were arranged by chuck to watch kuchahan, who had known for a long time. However, he never made any comments on this, because at that time, he did not have much military power.
But now, after a period of pacification. Although we can't say that we can compete with chuck, the people who were loyal to the doyalo family took advantage of the situation to join kuchahan.
The enemy of the enemy is his friend.
Although one of kuchahan and doyalo is chuck's brother, the other is only his cousin. But without exception, they are all the people that chuck is on guard against.
If we don't take advantage of this time to connect with kuchahan, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future.
The so-called "power comes from the barrel of a gun". A man's waist is as strong as the number of soldiers he has.
It's like Doyle in the beginning. When he met chuck, he even omitted the process of saluting. But when his military power was gradually deprived by chuck, he could only salute chuck respectfully, just like the ordinary ministers.
Now, though there are not many soldiers in kuchahan's hands, they are definitely not what they used to be and can be manipulated by others.
"Go away." Kuchahan drank low.
"Yes The two guards looked at each other in horror, then turned and ran out of the room.
