Kaeus's chess game

001 Jedett's loyal servant and vicious dog

Farewell to the four-character title!

------

The weather in the mountains is always changeable. As soon as the light rain stopped in the morning, a round of hot sun rushed out of the clouds. Under the gorgeous light and shadow, a group of people hurriedly stepped on the muddy road and came from the almost deserted commercial road. Fifty tough mercenaries glanced around vigilantly. The dense woods firmly protect the carriage in the middle.

"We will enter Jadet's territory in half an hour, and we can speed up. We should be able to reach McGrady City at night," the thin Glen messenger's face showed a trace of expectation: "Finally, we don't have to take this muddy mountain road."

"Maddie City? Is it the former capital of McGrady, right? Silester, sitting on the other side of the carriage, smiled.

"Yes, that's it! Since it was annexed by Jedt, it has become Jedt's Mad City," the messenger's gloating expression on his face did not hide: "A small country big as sesame actually refused to obey our Gran Empire at the beginning, but now it has become an ordinary town, and there is no country."

Silester smiled kindly and said nothing more. In the eyes of the Gran people, these independent or semi-independent sporadic small countries in the Tianshui Valley may really be as big as sesame. Although Afnarius is unruly, he is really a general. In just a few years, he has abruptly expanded Jaded's territory fourfold! The countries and tribes annexed by him have reached ten digits. Now Jadet is no longer the 'small country as big as sesame' with a population of less than 200,000 and only 50,000 troops, at least as big as beans.

Clester looked down the window at the business road he had planned to repair. If he had become king instead of Bridget, the road might have been as wide and smooth as the Grand Road.

The horse team turned a few corners. After crossing a small river, its eyes suddenly lit up. The small earthworm-like narrow business road suddenly became wide and flat like a trick, and it didn't look like the commercial road difference between the second-level towns in Gran!

"Finally flat," the special envoy shouted at the mercenaries outside the window, "Speed up and get to McGrady City before dark!"

Seeing the doubt in Silester's eyes, Grant smiled and said, "Although Bridget can't cure Affin Reus, he is also a son of the royal family, and his vision is not so narrow. Now all roads in Jadet have been widened and repaired, and in addition to the access to the outside world, it remains the same. The commercial roads between cities and towns can already make the carriage run quickly.

As he spoke, the carriage shook gently, and the horse team outside had gradually accelerated.

Silestor straightened his body and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that he had done a good thing."

"Indeed, if you want to develop, you have to build roads first. How can you earn gold coins without communicating with the outside world?" Grant laughed a few times, and then complained, "Unfortunately, he only has time to repair the roads in the territory, or we don't have to bump in the mountains for several days."

"When I returned to China, I had to walk for seven or eight days even if I rode a horse. If I catch up with the rainy season, I can even walk for more than ten days," Silester looked at the trees that flashed quickly outside the window and said, "At this speed, we can get there in two or three days."

"Anyway, it is also an occupied area of exploitation. Gold coins and migrant workers are all for nothing. I don't understand why Bridget has repaired half of every road and stops at the border..."

There was a trace of sarcasm on the corners of Silester's mouth, and he thought to himself, "If it is repaired, I'm afraid it's not the merchant who gave gold coins, but the Gran people who want gold coins..."

Along the way, Sirester and the Grant envoy didn't say much. In Prime Minister Gran's mansion, Viscount Goode was modest and cautious, but the special envoy was arrogant. He always put the powerful Gran Empire on his mouth and kept showing his beautiful feathers like a flower pheasant.

"I can already see McGrady City. Will you stay in the city tonight?" A mercenary leader asked in a low voice after approaching the carriage.

"Of course I live in the city! I have hated sleeping in this hard carriage for a long time!" Gran's messenger pretended to tap his shoulder, as if he had been receiving inhuman treatment these days. "Go to the city to find me the best house. We are the king who sent Jadet back and must be treated with courtesy."

Silester still leaned against the window to look at the scenery and didn't care about the words of the special envoy. Zhou Nan has slept in a high-end restaurant with a few gold coins overnight for several years, but also slept in a temporary tent by the bonfire. Now he is very satisfied with a carriage to shelter from the wind and rain. Xileste, who returned from the left ear island, not only metamorphed closer to the emperor, but also changed his mind a lot.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to go to the exile island to fight.

The best house in McGrady City is naturally the royal palace. This once glorious building now has only a large empty shell. All the jewelry and even beautiful screen tables and chairs have long been moved to Jadet's palace. Now this is the residence of the city owner of McGrady City, living in cloth. The Jedt aristocracy sent by Ricchit to manage the territory.

"The old minister Bremei welcomes His Royal Highness Sir Lester!" A white-haired old man led a nobleman of all sizes to stand outside the door and bow humbly. Because Silestor had not officially ascended the throne, he could only call him His Royal Highness.

Silester quickly got out of the carriage, raised the old man with both hands and asked in surprise, "Lord Breme, why are you here!" Did you know that I came back and came to pick me up?

"Hey, Your Highness, I'm not an adult now," the old man smiled and his eyes were full of vulgarity: "I'm no longer Jaded's prime minister. Now I'm just the owner of McGrady City, who is responsible for managing here."

"Your family has assisted my dynasty for generations. You have been the prime minister since my father's era. How can you come to this small place to be the city lord now?" Silester was even more surprised. Although everyone was standing at the door, he couldn't help asking.

"Ha ha, Your Highness, you have worked hard all the way. Let's go ahead and have a rest. Let's talk about other things slowly..." Bremei invited Silester in with a smile, and the banquet has begun to be prepared.

The group was indeed hungry. After everyone devoured and filled their stomachs, the others went to their rooms to rest, while Silesto was taken to the study by Bremela.

This empty room, which I don't know who lived in those years, can be used as a warehouse. Several crumbling bookshelves leaned against the wall, which were full of documents. In addition to a desk that was also mentioned in the past, the chairs in the room were It's the goods in the porter's room.

"Lord Bremen, should you tell me about Jadet now? And why don't you become a good prime minister and come here to be a small city owner? Sirrester sat on the chair with a smile, as if sitting in a soft chair covered with soft animal skin. The ups and downs on the left ear island have made him comfortable. According to Breme's view, Prince Silestor has a real royal style.

"It's not only that I left the imperial city, Lord Peduo is now in Cannon City, Lord Chachakel is now in Stow City..." Jedd's prime minister at that time, and now Maddie City owner Bu Lemei calmly told the where more than a dozen members of the dynasty went. They used to be the pillars of Jedt, but now they are actually some city owners. The village head, the most miserable old minister who used to be in the front row, now takes a group of mountain people to plant fruit trees on the mountain every day!

"The Minister of Military Machinery, the Minister of Finance, the Chief Executive... Why were all those important ministers released in those years?" Sirester was shocked and didn't say anything for a long time, and Bridget didn't know what was going on. Almost every time Affinaleus conquered a territory, he immediately threw an important minister into the chaotic occupied area.

"Ha ha, no wonder Bridget. We secretly discussed these arrangements with him," Bremen said calmly, "Marshal Affinarius is too obsessed with fighting. He did grab a lot of territory for Jedette, and also brought great hidden dangers to Jedette!"

Jedt now has nearly 100,000 troops. Except for the 30,000 veterans of the Imperial Guard Division who also obeyed Bridget's orders, the other troops are controlled by Afnerius himself or his loyal men. We all believe that although he did not have the courage to kill Bridget to make himself king, he set Bridget off the throne. It's not difficult to be a regent," the old man who has worked for the Jaded's royal family for a lifetime sighed and said, "Fortunately, God has not made Affennaeus perfect. So far, he is still just a bandit-like brain that only knows how to fight and rob, and does not know how to run a country. It was us important ministers who left the royal court to sit in various places to manage Jedett's land for Bridget. Affinaryus, a fool, can't really control Jedt for the rest of his life!"

The old man's eyes sparkled with firm light, clenched his fists and said fiercely, "If he dares to kill the king and seize the throne, we will never die with him!" At that time, even if Jedt is completely separated, he will not be given any chance to this traitor thief!"

Bleme looked at the silent Sileste with a smile: "Fortunately, you were sent back by Glen. No matter how bold Afanareus is, he dares not do anything against him now. He has just been taught a lesson by the Gran people and is now hiding in the marshal's mansion to think about countermeasures."

Sileste sighed in his heart. Although Bridget is stupid and incompetent, he is still the blood of the Jadedt royal family. He will never give his ancestral family property to others. Although this Affinareus is fierce, he is not a smart role. Now it seems that in addition to mastering most of the army, he Politics and state affairs are completely ignorant, otherwise Bremen and other important ministers will not be allowed to easily control the whole Jadet.

A general who only knows how to fight and kill can only be a fierce dog. As long as he is chained, it is not terrible!

PS: At the end of the year, the company has a lot of work, so I can only take time to update the code words. It was released six hours late today. Please forgive me. I'm also helpless
