Ante sat on the padded ground with a blanket in his arms. The boy stubbornly refused to sleep, but his eyelids seemed to want to stick together. Beside him, Allen shook his head and smiled, "You're obviously sleepy, but you're still forcing yourself not to sleep. Tell me, what do you want to do? "
"Where did Belmond go?" Ante asked instead of answering.
Allen flicked his finger on his forehead, causing Ante to grimace in pain, but most of his sleepiness was bounced away. Allen smiled and said, "Guess?"
"What's the benefit of guessing correctly?" Ante asked, covering his head with both hands.
"If you want candy, I'll give you one."
"I don't want candy. I'm not a child anymore." Ante was like an angry cat, "I want you to tell me all the plans. Pull me out and don't tell me anything. What do you think I am?"
"Brat." Allen chuckled and said, "Do you think you're a girl?"
Seeing that Ante was about to pounce on him and bite him, Allen stretched and said, "Well, you guessed right. I'll tell you something and see if you have the qualifications. "
"It's a deal?"
"Have I ever gone back on what I said?"
Ante thought about it and really didn't. The boy used his brain and looked out of the tent, "Go kill someone? It doesn't look like it. Now that the bandits have all fallen into your hands, who else is there to kill? Belmond is the most outstanding assassin under your command. An assassin is an assassin, which naturally includes the work of spying. But what information is there in this caravan that's worth spying on? "
"I can't figure it out, can I?" Although Allen said that, his recognition of Ante had increased by one or two points in his heart. The boy hadn't guessed what Belmond's job was, but his deduction was well-founded. It seemed that this little fellow wasn't just enjoying himself after becoming a lord, but he still had to work hard. According to Edward, he was still practicing swordsmanship? Interesting, does practicing swordsmanship want to guard the territory or take revenge?
Perhaps it was a combination of both.
Suddenly, Ante clapped his hands and said, "I see. Belmond is going to monitor Qianniao. You just said that you casually set up a dispensable trap for Qianniao's mercenary group and left Belmore behind to monitor the results? "
When Allen had returned to the camp, the boy had asked about the situation outside the camp, and he had casually told him a few things. Unexpectedly, Ante guessed correctly from this aspect. Just as he was about to praise his intuition, Ante frowned again, "But what kind of trap did you set for Qianniao that it was worth using Belmond to monitor the results? You're going to Mountain City this time. Needless to say, this set of boots is definitely for Rackett. The only connection between Rackett and Thousand Birds was probably the army that had disguised itself as bandits. Wait, if this army suddenly disappears, Rackett will definitely be furious. "
"If I were the Count, I would look into it thoroughly. After all, this was something that could not be brought to light. If someone found out, it would be better to kill them as soon as possible. This trap was given to Qianniao, but it was prepared for Rackett. That was to use this army to make a fuss … "Ante raised his head and looked at Allen." You plan to use Qianniao to expose Earl Rackett's evil deeds in disguise as an army? "
At the end of Allen's reply, applause rang out from outside the tent. Belmond got into the tent and chuckled to Allen, "Look, we can't underestimate our Viscount Ante."
Allen spread out his hands and said, "You guessed it right this time, so I don't need to tell you anything, do I?"
Ante snorted, trying to pretend to be sophisticated. However, he was still a child, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. He said, "I only guessed roughly, but I couldn't guess the details. For example, how do you make Qianniao suspicious and how do you get them to spread the news for you? If you let Rackett know, this mercenary group won't have to go back. "
"It's not difficult. It's just a matter of time. As long as Qianniao releases the news before Rackett finds out the truth, Rackett won't dare to touch them. Because if you move, you'll confess without fighting. " Allen smiled and said, "I'm just worried that Qianniao won't be able to figure it out. I'm even more worried that they'll be too smart for their own good, so I asked Belmond to keep an eye on them. How is it? Is there any result? "
Belmond sat down and played with a short blade in his hand. The short blade was only three inches long, handless, and small, but it rotated nimbly between his fingers under the guidance of his Origin Energy. The man smiled and said, "They only thought that if Rackett found out about it, he would kill them. The Mountain City sign I deliberately placed on the leader was discovered by Darang. Guess how our Mr. Darang will deal with this? "
Allen looked at Ante as if he wanted to test him, full of provocation.
The youth's blood rose and his brain became active. He bit his finger and said, "Darang is selfish and conceited. He even had the idea of instigating merchants to force us to submit." What good ideas can such a person come up with? Since he is afraid of death, the only choice left is to confess to us. "Yes, the bandits were killed by Belmond. That fellow must have wanted to inform Rackett in advance, thinking that he could take credit and avoid a disaster!"
"It's about time." Allen nodded and said, "So you see, being a lord isn't that difficult. You just need to use your brain." Ante, your deduction is quite good. If you guessed Belmond's work based on intuition, then this time, it was based on your understanding of the human heart and the world. In order to manage a territory well, one also needed to understand the human heart and the world. If he pushed the boat with the current, then the management of the territory would not be so difficult, and the lives of the people would be smooth. "As long as you, the lord, don't have too much ambition, the people in the territory will be able to live a good life."
Taking this opportunity to instill some of his own experience in Ante, Allen explained in simple terms and stopped at the end of the line. No matter what, you have to do it yourself to understand it. Outsiders said a thousand or ten thousand things, but only one or two of them could be heard in their minds, and in the end, there were even fewer that could be used.
While Ante was thinking about what Allen said, Allen looked at Belmond, who nodded, "Just like Sir Ante said, Darang originally poured the water on us." However, Commander Walker was still straightforward. He directly refused and said he would think of another way. "But I think the old Guild Leader's heart is straight, and his head is probably square. I'm afraid he won't be able to think of any good ideas."
Allen laughed, "If Walker dares to use Darang's method, then Qianniao really doesn't need to go back." There was an imperceptible chill in his laughter. Allen kicked Ante beside him.
The latter glared angrily, obviously angry that this fellow had disrupted his thoughts. Allen pretended not to see it and asked with a smile, "Go play with Ferlyn tomorrow."
Ante rolled his eyes at him and said, "No matter how heartless Ferlyn is, she doesn't have the mood to play with me, does she?"
'"It's right that you're not in the mood. Then you can naturally borrow Miss Ferlyn's mouth to tell Walker about our brilliant plan. I promise, Ferlyn will be so happy that she'll hug you and kiss you a few times. Maybe she'll marry you. I think that girl is not bad. Although her temper is a little off line, her temperament is sunny. With her, you probably won't be able to smile every day. "Allen obviously digressed," It's just that she's a little older than you. "
Ante finally fell asleep.
A moment later, the boy's long breathing could be heard. Belmond looked at Ante and said, "Young Master's trip to Mountain City is not for fun. Why did you bring this little drag bottle with you?"
"There are many reasons." Allen counted with his fingers, "Edward said that this kid is still thinking about revenge, so I'll take him with me and let him see the difference between me and him. On the bright side, he can put an end to his thoughts of revenge. It's better to be a good lord in the future than to die at my hands. In the worst case, he still doesn't want to give up. At the very least, he knows the gap between us and will probably work hard to catch up. But it's still a question of whether he can catch up. In the end, I hope he will retreat in the face of difficulties. "
Ellen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Anyway, I can't be the kind of ambitious man who cuts the weeds and kills the roots. If I really do that, I'll have to plow the territory back and forth three or four times before I can be considered clean. But at that time, we won't have anyone to use, right? Apart from that, I also want this kid to gain more experience and not ruin a good viscount territory. "
"Will he understand what you've done?"
"God knows. This kind of thing originally had to rely on his own efforts." Allen yawned, "Go to sleep. It's getting late. I guess I'll have to walk for a day tomorrow. Tonight, I'll be scared. Qianniao will probably be in a hurry to hurry. "
The next day, as Allen had said, after discussing with the caravan leaders, Walker decided to work harder today and hurry up to Mountain City as soon as possible. The caravan set off in the morning and didn't find a small forest to rest until two o'clock in the afternoon. While the caravan was resting, Watch was not idle. He found a few capable figures in the caravan to discuss how to solve this potential crisis.
Alone and sullenly, Ferlyn went into the forest and sat down in a low tree. Unexpectedly, just as she sat down, a figure slid down the tree trunk, startling her. Fortunately, she saw that it was Ante, otherwise, she would have stabbed him with her sword.
"Why are you hiding in the tree?" Ferlyn looked at the canopy. The dwarf tree had lost all its leaves, and the bare branches were only filled with snow. From time to time, a few strands of snow powder would shake off.
Ante scratched his head and said, "I saw you coming, so I wanted to hide in the tree and scare you. I didn't expect it to be covered in snow. Before I could hide it, I slid down. "As he spoke, he couldn't help but curse Allen in his heart. Who was this excuse to deceive?
Unexpectedly, Ferlyn burst out laughing, but her expression was gloomy. Ante sighed in his heart. As Allen had expected, the girl was worried about last night. As Allen said, he asked knowingly, "What's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. You won't understand even if I tell you." Ferlyn forced a smile.
Ante snorted and said, "Look down on me."
Ferlyn shook her head. "It's not that I'm underestimating you, but this time, we're probably all going to suffer."
"Why?"
