Barney was born a Brahmin.
When the King of Jieri had just taken over, he had helped the King of Jieri stabilize the government. Even when the King of Jieri swept through the lands and opened up new territories, Barney had made great contributions. However, Barney supported Shi Naga and even urged him to make Shi Naga the Crown Prince. As a result, he was marginalized by the King of Jieri and no longer involved in the government.
Barney's reason for persuading the King of Jieri was very simple. It was because the King of Jieri was not young anymore. According to the average age of Tianzhu, the King of Jieri was already quite old.
It was very difficult to have another son at this stage. Even if he had a son, it was even more difficult to raise him to adulthood. For the stability of Jieri, Shi Naga should be made the Crown Prince.
One had to know that when the King of Jieri's elder brother was killed, Shi Naga had already been born. However, the King of Jieri's elder brother let the King of Jieri inherit the throne in order to prevent the child from being too young to take over the power. Even a few years ago, the King of Jieri had thanked his elder brother for his kindness and said that he would pass the throne to Shi Naga in the future to thank his elder brother for his kindness.
Now, the King of Jieri was not willing, so Barney was angry. After all, Barney was one of the King of Jieri's elder brother's men in the beginning. It was because he received orders from the King of Jieri's elder brother to assist the King of Jieri that the King of Jieri could stabilize the throne.
Now, the King of Jieri had turned his back on him.
Therefore, Barney was very angry with the King of Jieri in his heart.
Over time, he hated the King of Jieri even more. However, the King of Jieri was very powerful, and Barney could do nothing about it. He could only try his best to unite the court officials and persuade the King of Jieri to make Shi Naga the Crown Prince.
In the study of Barney's residence.
Barney and Zombie Naga sat opposite each other.
Barney was already in his fifties, and he was getting old. His skin was fair, and he had a large beard. Although he was old, his tall and sturdy figure could still be seen. However, Barney's face was filled with wrinkles. These were the traces of time.
Shi Naga's age was already nearing 30.
His skin was fair, and he wasn't tall. He had a medium build and was on the skinny side. In particular, Shi Naga's face had an unhealthy blush. This was a sign that her body was floating.
All these years, in order to confuse the King of Jieri, Shi Naga had not displayed any great skills, nor had she revealed her intelligence. She had only indulged herself in women, indulging in pleasure every night.
It was precisely because of this that he was still alive today.
The King of Jieri did not have any sons, but Shi Naga was different. He had many sons and daughters. His oldest son was already over ten years old, and he had a total of twelve sons. However, Shi Naga's expression was rather helpless.
He looked at Barney and said, "Teacher, you and the other officials wrote to the king last time, and he once again rejected the idea of making me the crown prince. What should we do now? "
Shi Naga was Barney's disciple.
Barney was not only Shi Naga's advisor and confidant, but also his teacher.
Barney's eyes turned cold as he said, "The king's current plan is not to make you the crown prince, and he wants to violate the original agreement. Since that's the case, we can't be blamed. They are fighting at the front lines, and we are causing trouble for him at the back. He will have to bear the consequences. "
"Ah!"
Shi Naga was slightly surprised when he heard this.
Immediately, Shi Naga shook his head and said, "Teacher, you can't. Although I want to take charge of Jieri Nation, I also want to take back everything that my father had in the past. However, this is based on the premise that Jieri Nation is not affected. If the king is defeated by Du Qi at the front lines because of me, it will definitely not be appropriate. "
After a pause, Shi Naga said, "The reason is very simple. Once he fails, Du Qi will kill his way into Jieri Nation. It will not be good news for Jieri Nation. Jieri Nation will also be affected. "
After Barney heard this, he sighed dejectedly and said, "You are willing to consider the overall situation, but the king only cares about his own personal interests. He will not hand over power to you."
Shi Naga said, "There are things to do, and there are things not to do. I can't cause trouble for the army at the front lines at a critical time. Otherwise, it would be courting death. Because once the army at the front lines is defeated, we will also be affected. "
Barney fell silent.
For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
Seeing Barney's silence, Shi Naga continued, "Teacher, I have disappointed you. I am sorry."
Barney shook his head and said, "No, you did not disappoint me. On the contrary, I am proud of you. It is my Jieri Nation's blessing to have someone as magnanimous as you. If you cannot be the successor of Jieri Nation and take charge of it, it will be my Jieri Nation's loss. Although there is no way to deal with the king for the time being, this old man is not disappointed. "
Shi Naga laughed when he heard this. He changed the topic and said, "Teacher, how is our infiltration of King of Jieri's side going?"
Barney said, "It's very difficult, very difficult. Although we have roped in a few soldiers, these soldiers are only the king's bodyguards. They can't get close to the king at all. If we are given a few more years, when these people grow up, it will be a piece of cake for us to kill the King. Now, it is not easy! "
Shi Naga said, "Take it slow."
Barney sighed and said with emotion, "Time waits for no man!"
Although Shi Naga hated King of Jieri, he was extremely rational. He said, "Teacher, the saying that time waits for no man should be used on the king. I am still young, and I have enough time. The king is no longer young. If he wants to compete with me in terms of time, he can't win. The king has never had a son. "
A smile appeared on Barney's face, agreeing with Shi Naga's words. In the current situation, although the King of Jieri held great power, in reality, it was extremely disadvantageous for the King of Jieri. Unless the King of Jieri wanted to kill Shi Naga and the others.
But that was impossible.
If the King of Jieri wanted to kill Shi Naga, the court would probably overturn the heavens, and the Jieri Nation would be affected. Even the King of Jieri's prestige and influence would be affected.
Barney sighed and said, "In that case, we can't deal with the king now."
Shi Naga said, "There is indeed no way."
"Report!"
At this moment, the steward of the residence knocked on the door. The steward said, "Master, someone outside requests to see you. He says that he has something important and the most urgent news."
Barney's eyes narrowed. Who wanted to see him?
Who was it?
Barney thought for a moment and said, "Please!"
The steward went to inform him, and Shi Naga said, "Teacher, I will leave first."
Barney shook his head and said, "No need to rush. There are still some things to talk about. Let's listen to what this person has to say first. Perhaps it has something to do with you. After all, the person who came to see me is mainly about the matter of the crown prince. "
Shi Naga nodded and said no more.
Not long after, Amir entered.
Amir entered the study and saw Barney, as well as Shi Naga, whose face was slightly flushed. Although Amir had never seen Shi Naga before, he had people investigate Shi Naga's appearance, so he could determine Shi Naga's identity at a glance.
Amir bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Barney, Prince Shi Naga."
Barney's turbid eyes narrowed as he examined Amir. Shi Naga was also slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his identity would be determined by Amir.
