Chapter 547 The stick and the carrot
Chapter 547 Big Sticks and Carrots
The so-called diplomacy is mostly a big stick with one hand and a carrot. Usually, the first thing you start is always a big stick, because giving people carrots first may make people look down on themselves, and the big sticks in the future will not be very effective.
Alice implemented a similar policy. In the province of Morro, she started a massacre, and the subsequent methods seemed much more relaxed. Of course, the situation in the province of Morro was very different from other provinces. Morro was bordered by the Mao Empire, and the hometown was difficult to leave. Some were reluctant to leave, and some were too late to leave. Most of the nobles stayed in their fiefdoms, which was inevitable that they would be mixed.
After learning about the situation in Morrow's province, many nobles were frightened and fled to the Diamond City. As for that little family business, they were really powerless and could not even save their lives. What is the meaning of family business? Almost all the nobles who were willing to stay lost confidence in Edward VIII and hoped to stay in their hometown to find new opportunities. It can also be said that they were looking for a new master, and there was no need to blame them too hard.
Alice frequently holds drinks to her own purpose, to eliminate the estrangement and strangeness between the two sides, and to make each other familiar with each other as soon as possible. In the words of another world, this is called the united front. Alice's efforts have received rewards, and the atmosphere of the cocktail party seemed very harmonious. Whether it was the generals of the Mao Empire or the nobles of the Semi-Sandra Province, they were talking and laughing in a low voice. The nobles of the Semi-Sandra Province were the wish of occupying their own place in this new world and not being abandoned by the times. There was no private hatred between the generals of the Mao Empire and the other party. As for national hatred... Even His Majesty Yuland did not pursue it, and there was no need for them to remember it. There were many friends and multiple roads, and everyone understood this principle.
An Fei leaned against the railing of the balcony and observed the crowd below. He had good eyesight and was seeing Dog Mingzhe walking out of the backyard. He couldn't help but say, "Dog Mingzhe hate attending the banquet? Why did he come today?"
"It should be ready to pave the way for his students." Susanna whispered.
"It's good, you even understand this?"
"Do you think he's a fool?" Susanna gave An Fei a blank look.
An Fei was about to speak when he saw Beeri appearing behind Dogmingz: "Master Beeri is here too!"
"At dusk, Alice sent someone to invite Marshal Beeri, as if she was preparing to let the students of Dogmingz give the information to Marshal Beeri in person."
"It seems you are right. Dog Mingzhe is really paving the way for his students." An Fei smiled and said, "Since we entered the Semi-Sand Empire, Dog Mingzhe has never taken action. Do you believe it? When the day of attacking the Diamond City, Dog Mingzhe will definitely ask for battle by himself. Haha... Dog Mingzhe remained silent at the beginning, probably because he was worried about what he did. It is very likely that Edward VIII would lose his mind and take his anger on his students."
"It's really not easy for him. As a great magician, you have to do something you don't want to do." Susanna understood An Fei's meaning. At that time, Dog Mingzhe will not only do his best, but also do his best, so that he can pave a golden road for his students.
"I can understand. How did the teacher treat us? Dog Mingzhe is also a good teacher." An Fei smiled: "What's more, his betrayal has brought danger to his students, so that he has been under house arrest for so long, and he feels guilty, so of course he has to try his best to compensate."
At this moment, Alice appeared at the gate of the courtyard, and there were five or six people wearing magic robes around her, both old and young, surrounding Alice like stars holding the moon. Alice was very intimate towards them, and she talked and laughed from time to time.
"They are Dog Mingzhe's students." Susanna also saw it.
"Alice is also a student of Dog Mingzhe. It seems they have known each other a long time ago." An Fei suddenly frowned: "I'm a little surprised. When Alice was forced to marry into the mercenary country, why didn't they come out to help Alice?"
"Maybe it's not in Diamond City, or... because people are so gentle, they stood up, but there is no effect."
The arrival of the protagonist made the atmosphere of the reception even more enthusiastic. From time to time, nobles came forward to say hello. Alice always gave him a polite greeting and then introduced the people around her. According to An Fei's calculations, Alice was stopped more than twenty times in total, and the same words should have been said more than twenty times. Doge Mingzhe in front was also surrounded, but Doge Mingzhe today seemed very amiable and energetic. She talked and laughed with the people around her.
By comparison, Beerli was neglected. As the first military officer of the Mao Empire, the Imperial Marshal, he could use his value to Alice and Dog Mingzhe at this moment, but the nobles of the Semi-Sander Province did not dare to rashly fight with Beerli, and they did not have the qualifications. For the generals of the Mao Empire, if they stepped forward to block the marshal's way and said some irrelevant nonsense, wouldn't that be seeking death?
The surrounding area of Beeri was simply an unmanned land. Seeing Beeri approaching, the nobles of the Semi-Sander Province accompanied him to smile and retreated to the side. The generals from the Mao Empire stood upright and waited for Beeri to pass by, and then hurriedly sneaked aside.
"The master is out, can't you go down?" Susanna asked softly.
"What am I going down?" An Fei shook his head and said, "I'm here to make a living."
"Those elves are really..." Susanna showed a helpless look: "I heard that there is a slave market here. I'll go and buy you two real maids, those elves will not take care of people at all."
"Forget it." An Fei looked at Susanna with a smile: "When the heart is soft and he will let go again. Although your husband is rich now, can you afford all the slaves on the entire continent?"
Susanna blushed. When An Fei was just named the Earl, someone blew in her ears, saying that An Fei was already a master and there were not many people waiting for him, which seemed too shabby. Susanna thought about it carefully. Of course, she didn't have to care about her daily life in her daily life. The maid just brought tea, poured water, and cleaned up the house. When she was not around An Fei, someone was waiting for An Fei. Susanna then ran to Zi
In the market in Roland City, he chose to buy an maid for An Fei. Out of curiosity, he asked about the girl's life experience, but he found out that the girl was originally from the Mao Empire and was captured by the army of the Semiotic Empire. Later, she was caught by the soldiers of the Mao Empire. She said she was from the Mao Empire, but those soldiers asked her to shut up and threatened her to kill her if she talked nonsense. In the end, she was sold back as a woman from the Semiotic Empire.
There are bad sheep everywhere. Those soldiers just want to receive more money from the military officers, so they ignore everything. This is really hateful.
Susanna felt sympathy and learned that the girl was a resident of Blacknia, so she gave the girl a few gold coins and let her go. The so-called slave contract was also torn off by Susanna on the spot.
When he went back to talk to An Fei, An Fei laughed. Then Susanna wanted to buy it again. An Fei stopped her and said that no one in the world wanted to be a slave. Every slave had his own history of blood and tears. Since the first one was released, there would definitely be a second one and a third one. There was no need to buy it. Moreover, he liked the world of two people and did not want others to disturb them. Susanna liked and agreed with what An Fei said, so she stopped buying a maid. However, now that the two people mentioned the old words again, she felt a little embarrassed.
"Isn't they doing it for you?" Susanna said angrily.
"Be good, don't be angry." An Fei hugged Susanna's waist with one hand and pinched Susanna's cheek with the other: "Master Beeri has seen us."
Listening to the previous sentence, Susanna was still looking at An Fei with a coquettish look on her face. After hearing the latter sentence, she hurriedly struggled out of An Fei's arms and turned her head down. Sure enough, Beeri was smiling at herself. Susanna was ashamed and ashamed, and said, "You are going to die! You know someone is still watching you..."
After a moment, Beeri was already standing on the balcony: "An Fei, why don't you two go down?"
"It's great here." An Fei smiled and said, "Sir, can those...Doge Mingzhe trust those students?"
"This is not important. Edward VIII can't play any tricks anyway, so he can only defend Diamond City." Beeri suddenly frowned: "But... Diamond City has a total of twenty-two mage towers. Edward VIII's court mage group has not participated in the battle, so there is no loss. If he is determined to be a turtle, it will be a bit of a headache. At least before winter comes, we will not be able to capture Diamond City. An Fei, you have many ideas and good luck. Is there any way?"
"Sir, what can I do?" An Fei smiled bitterly: "Last time I asked to assassinate Se Jialan, but it dragged you down. I have been..."
"Don't say that, An Fei." Beieri waved his hand: "No one expected Se Jialan to have the Ring of Immortality. It was just an accident. Why? I didn't dare to speak because of an accident?!"
"I don't know how to fight, what can I think of?" An Fei shrugged: "But if you need me to chop people, even if you speak, wherever you point, I will chop people!"
"Haha... I don't want you to say it now. Think about it slowly. We still have two months to go." Beeri couldn't help laughing and even slapped An Fei hard.
