Shinaga said in a deep voice, "You actually know me? Have we met before? "
"No!"
Aamir answered directly.
When Shinaga heard Aamir's words, a hint of curiosity appeared in his small eyes. He asked, "Then how did you determine my identity when we first met?"
Aamir said, "Three aspects of judgment."
Shinaga said, "I'd like to hear the details."
At this moment, Shinaga glanced at Barney, and Barney immediately understood. Obviously, Shinaga was interested and wanted to talk to Aamir to see what kind of person Aamir was.
Aamir replied, "First, it's to see the seating positions of Mr. Barney and His Highness the Prince. Your seating arrangement is for His Highness the Prince, not for Mr. Barney, the host, to sit in the main seat. This judgment can prove that His Highness the Prince's status is higher than Mr. Barney's. "
Shinaga nodded and said, "That's not enough!"
Amir was very calm. He said neither hurriedly nor impatiently, "Secondly, although Mr. Barney is a noble and has influence in the court, he no longer has a position, which is equivalent to being idle at home."
"However, the idle and influential Barney is still running around to unite the people in the court for His Highness the Prince. He wants to make His Highness the Crown Prince of the Jiedi Kingdom and make His Highness the Crown Prince of the Jiedi Kingdom."
"As a result, Mr. Barney has become a thorn in King of Jieri's side."
Aamir said, "Under normal circumstances, Mr. Barney's mansion is deserted and no one will come to visit. Now that he is willing to come to Mr. Barney's mansion as a guest, he must have a close relationship with Mr. Barney, or even someone on the prince's side. "
Shinaga nodded.
There was a hint of surprise in his eyes because Aamir's judgment in a short period of time was very accurate.
This was extremely good.
Even Barney had a look of admiration on his old face. Aamir was young, but he had such observation skills. He was very unusual and was a good talent.
Shinaga and Barney looked at each other. There was a hint of surprise in their eyes, as if they had picked up a treasure.
Shinaga asked, "What's the third reason?"
Amir smiled and continued, "Actually, the third reason is even simpler. It was rumored that in order to protect himself, His Highness indulged in wine and women, making his body look weak and feeble. When I saw Your Highness, I noticed that your cheeks were flushed and there were heavy bags under your eyes. It was obvious that your body was weak. In particular, it is said that His Highness the Prince is thin and young, so it is easier to determine his identity. "
"Hahaha …"
Hearing this, Shi Naga could not help bursting into laughter.
His laughter was filled with joy.
What a discerning person. This was a talent. He wasn't angry at all because of Amir's words, because he was indeed addicted to women to protect himself, and often drank. This was something that couldn't be helped.
Amir stood in the room with a smile on his face. He was confident and calm, and his heart was calm. This was because after his conversation with Shi Naga, he felt that the situation was even better, and the situation was even more favorable to him. Previously, Aamir had planned to visit Barney alone, but he hadn't expected Corpse Naga to be there. This gave Aamir an opportunity.
After a long while, Shi Naga stopped laughing and looked at Aamir. "What is your name, and what is your background?"
Aamir smiled and said, "I am Aamir, from the Chukchi Lou Dynasty, born in the Brahmin caste. Because I was framed by the enemy and my family was slaughtered, I fled to Jiedri with some of my family's confidants. Now, I have lived in Qu Nu City for several years. "
Aamir's identity was rearranged. Even if Shi Naga and Barney wanted to investigate thoroughly, there would be no flaws. After all, Vadhara had been the king for decades, and he had a lot of power in Qu Nu City. Moreover, the identity that Aamir described originally existed.
It could withstand investigation.
It was just that Aamir had impersonated him.
Shi Naga nodded and said no more. Instead, he looked at Barney and motioned for him to ask. Barney coughed twice, stroked the beard under his chin, and said, "Aamir, why did you come to this old man's residence?"
Aamir said seriously, "I came to visit Mr. Barney for His Highness the Prince, for His Highness to inherit Jiedri Kingdom. But I didn't expect His Highness to also be at Mr. Barney's residence. "
Barney said, "You came down for His Highness the Prince. Tell me, how do you plan to help His Highness the Prince?"
Aamir said, "I have a piece of news that is very important."
Barney said, "What news?"
Amir said, "When King Jieri led his army to the north and prepared to fight against Du Qi of the State of Xia in the north, I had arranged for my men to follow him to the north and watch the battle from afar to get the latest news. As soon as the situation in the north came out, I was the first to get the news. "
Barney said, "What's the situation on the front line?"
Shi Naga said, "Is there a result?"
At this time, Barney and Shi Naga both had expectant expressions on their faces. In fact, the two of them had arranged for people to gather information in the north, but until now, the scouts had not returned to deliver the news.
Aamir replied, "Congratulations, Your Highness, your chance has come. King of Jieri led more than 200,000 troops to fight Xia Xia's Du Qi in Kenpo Province. King of Jieri was defeated, and his army suffered heavy losses. Less than 10% of them survived. Now, King of Jieri is on his way back with his defeated army. "
Shi Naga's eyes widened in disbelief. He said, "How is that possible? Our Jiedri Kingdom has 60,000 elephant soldiers. Not to mention anything else, just these elephant soldiers are invincible on the battlefield. Even if Xia Xia Du Qi's army is elite, compared to our Jiedri Kingdom's elephant soldiers, they are still no match. With such strength, how can they be defeated? "
Barney said in a deep voice, "Aamir, you falsified the news. Once I confirm it, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Neither of them believed it.
Less than 10% of an army of more than 200,000 survived. Such a situation was too terrifying.
Both of them felt that it was impossible.
Aamir said unhurriedly, "The news of King of Jieri's defeat is definitely true. It can't be wrong. Of course, I don't know the exact reason for King of Jieri's defeat. I only know that Xia Xia Du Qi has some kind of mysterious weapon. I'm afraid it will take a long time for more detailed information to be obtained. "
Pausing for a moment, Amir continued, "Actually, you have already received information about this matter. I believe that you will receive the news soon. "
Knock! Knock!
The sound of knocking came from outside the study again.
The housekeeper's voice sounded, "Master, there is a report on the battle in the north."
Barney immediately said, "Send it in."
The door creaked open. The housekeeper entered and handed the letter to Barney. Then, he turned and left respectfully. Barney quickly opened the letter and browsed through it. When he finished reading the news in the letter, he looked shocked and nodded at Shi Naga.
Obviously, the news was confirmed.
Shi Naga took the letter and quickly skimmed through it.
At this moment, Aamir, who was standing below, felt a sense of relief. Because he had just arrived, and the news was sent back. If he had come a bit later, Barney and the others would have already received the news. Then, it would have been more difficult for him to persuade them. But now, it was a bit better. After all, he was the first to speak of King of Jieri's defeat, so he had the initiative.
Barney immediately looked at Aamir and said in a low voice, "Aamir, your news is true. The king's army of more than two hundred thousand has indeed been defeated. As for the reason for their defeat, we don't know for now. No one knows what weapon Du Qi used. We only know that Du Qi's weapon is very powerful. "
Aamir said, "Mr. Barney has confirmed the news. That's for the best. Now that you have received the news, I'm afraid the other nobles have also received the news. "
Barney said, "Of course."
He still looked at Aamir and said in a low voice, "You told me this news, and now you came for His Highness. Now that His Highness is here, tell me, how do you plan to help His Highness? "
Aamir stood up straight, looked up at Corpse Naga, and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, I have a question. Are you really willing to be a prince forever? Are you willing to let your father's power fall to King of Jieri's bloodline? "
Corpse Naga said, "Of course not, but the king is powerful, and all power is in his hands. We can't do anything."
Aamir said, "No, there is a way."
Corpse Naga said, "What way?"
At this moment, even Barney couldn't help but look at Aamir expectantly, waiting for him to speak. This was because Barney had planned to deal with King of Jieri, but Corpse Naga didn't accept Barney's plan, leaving Barney helpless.
Aamir smiled and said unhurriedly, "Now that we want to take back power, we naturally have to strike first. This time, King of Jieri led the army to fight Xia Xia, and the elephant soldiers were almost wiped out. The troops he brought back were less than ten thousand. In fact, these people were already a defeated army. In that case, why don't you mobilize the forces under you and wipe out King of Jieri? "
Corpse Naga said in a low voice, "No, killing the king like this will definitely cause unrest in the imperial court. Our Jieri State is now under attack by Xia Xia. It's already turbulent, and the king's death will cause even more chaos. "
"Hahaha …"
Aamir couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
There was mockery in his laughter.
Barney saw all of this, but he didn't interrupt. The reason was simple. In the current situation, he couldn't persuade Corpse Naga, but he hoped that Aamir could persuade Corpse Naga. If he didn't take action, the more he waited for King of Jieri to grow old, the more wary the King of Jieri would be, and even more murderous. At that time, there would be danger at every step.
If Aamir could persuade Corpse Naga, Barney would be happy to see it happen.
Corpse Naga was actually quite impressed with Aamir. This young man was quite talented. Therefore, Corpse Naga wasn't angry when Aamir laughed. Instead, he asked, "Sir Aamir, why are you laughing?"
Aamir said, "The reason I'm laughing is simple. It's because His Highness is too pedantic."
Corpse Naga said, "This isn't pedantic, it's for the sake of the big picture."
Aamir said, "The big picture? What is the big picture? For His Highness, controlling Jieri State is the big picture. Besides, if King of Jieri hadn't been defeated, then it's fine. If King of Jieri hadn't been defeated, dealing with King of Jieri would have made the situation at the front line difficult, and even affected the army at the front line. "
"Now, the army of more than 200,000 led by King of Jieri has been wiped out, and the King of Jieri has fled back in a sorry state. Under this premise, there's no big picture. "
"Can the situation get worse?"
Aamir said, "Now that King of Jieri has been defeated, all the remaining Brahmin and Kshatriya clans must be in a state of panic. In addition, the Brahmin and Kshatriya clans who followed King of Jieri into battle will also be resentful and resentful of King of Jieri's incompetence. "
"In order to quell public anger, in order to gather everyone's strength, in order to better resist Xia, we should also push out a scapegoat."
"King of Jieri is the best candidate."
"This time, he led more than 200,000 troops to battle and suffered heavy losses, causing the entire army to be wiped out. All of this was caused by him underestimating the enemy and advancing rashly. Therefore, taking down King of Jieri now is to apologize to everyone. At the same time, it also shows the current attitude of the royal family to fight to the death. "
At this time, Aamir's words were extremely sharp.
Barney listened and felt that it was very good.
It was very well said.
Shi Naga's expression gradually changed, but at this time, Shi Naga still had some doubts.
For the time being, she hadn't made a decision.
Aamir's expression was solemn as he continued, "For His Highness, now is the only chance. For example, before, King of Jieri had enough power in his hands. Under King of Jieri's strength, no one dared to act rashly, no one dared to resist. "
"Therefore, even if His Highness wants to make a move, there is no chance. Even if many courtiers persuade King of Jieri to make you the Crown Prince, a simple sentence from King of Jieri can overrule countless people's advice. "
"The reason is simple. King of Jieri has enough power to suppress everything."
"But now is different."
Aamir said, "All of King of Jieri's trusted subordinates have been buried on the front lines. Now that King of Jieri wants to resist Du Qi, or rather, our country wants to resist Du Qi, we can only recruit new forces. After this period of time, King of Jieri's strength will recover, and his control of the court will increase again. It will be impossible to deal with King of Jieri again. "
"When the time comes, the situation will still be King of Jieri holding the knife in his hand, and you will just be a fish on the chopping board at King of Jieri's mercy. Right now, this is His Highness's only chance. "
"His Highness, the opportunity will not come again. If you want to make a move, now is the best chance. If you don't act now, then there will be no chance. "
At this point, Aamir said again, "His Highness, if you want to take action, I will prepare for you. If you don't want to take action, just pretend that you didn't hear what I just said, and I will turn around and leave. "
Shi Naga's expression changed again and again.
Aamir's words echoed in his mind, because these words had stabbed into his heart.
Hearing this, Barney cheered inwardly.
Well said!
He wanted to persuade Shi Naga, but it was useless. Every time, Shi Naga would use the excuse of looking at the big picture to refuse, making his persuasion useless. As such, in the current situation, if Aamir's words could be useful, then it would be great.
They had been waiting for this day for far too long.
They had been waiting for this moment.
Barney could not help but say, "His Highness, I agree with Aamir's words. The opportunity will not come again. Once we lose this opportunity, there will be no chance for us to win. Moreover, the current situation has reached the most dangerous point. Can the situation get any worse? "
"You want to look at the big picture, but there is no big picture to consider. So now is the time to act. If we don't act now, we will miss this opportunity. "
At this moment, Shi Naga's expression was changing again and again. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, let's take action and use this opportunity to take down King of Jieri. It's time for someone else to rule Jieri Nation. "
Having made his decision, Shi Naga's aura changed.
He no longer had any doubts.
Aamir bowed and said, "Your Highness is wise. In fact, I have been paying attention to Your Highness's situation for the past few years. Your Highness has been concealing his strength and biding his time. He is an extremely wise person. In the early years, King of Jieri was wise, powerful, and extraordinary. But now, because of his power, the King of Jieri has become obstinate and self-opinionated. He doesn't listen to advice at all. "
After a pause, Aamir continued, "If Jieri Nation continues to be under the control of King of Jieri, it will definitely get worse and worse. If Jieri Nation is under the control of Your Highness, it will definitely get better and better. Your Highness, the rise of Jieri Nation depends on you. "
Hearing this, Barney had a bright smile on his face and said, "Aamir's words are also what this old man wants to say. Your Highness, now is our only chance. This opportunity cannot be missed. At the same time, this is also the only chance for Jieri Nation. Especially since Jieri Nation is already facing the most dangerous situation. You are smart and decisive. In your hands, Jieri Nation will definitely win and defeat the invading Du Qi. "
Barney was extremely impressed with Shi Naga.
This was his disciple.
He was the one who nurtured him, and he was nurtured according to his ideal candidate. He was magnanimous, intelligent, and responsible. However, due to the current situation, Shi Naga could only defile himself to eliminate King of Jieri's vigilance. If Shi Naga had displayed his virtuous side and outstanding abilities early on, Shi Naga would have been a pile of bones long ago.
Shi Naga listened to Aamir and Barney's words with a hint of excitement on his face. This excitement made his face flush even more. After all, his body was a little weak.
When he was excited, it affected his body.
Barney saw Shi Naga's appearance and sighed, "Your Highness, once we defeat King of Jieri and achieve victory, you don't have to defile yourself like this. All these years, in order to confuse King of Jieri, your body has also deteriorated a lot. "
Shi Naga said, "Teacher, don't worry, I understand. It's not difficult to adjust. "
After a pause, Shi Naga looked at Aamir and said, "Mr. Aamir, you've said so much and also said that you'll assist me. So, what do you want in return? "
Aamir said, "I have two conditions."
Shi Naga said, "Just say it."
If Aamir did not have any conditions, Shi Naga would not be at ease. Because although he was smart, it was impossible for him to make people submit and pledge their loyalty directly.
Shi Naga was clear on this point.
Aamir said, "My first condition is that I assist His Highness to become King of Jieri. I want a fief. After all, assisting His Highness to seize power is not an easy task. It shouldn't be difficult to give a fief as a reward. "
Shi Naga raised his eyebrows after hearing this, feeling that Aamir was asking for too much.
Barney said, "Your Highness, if Jieri State is in your control, giving Aamir a fief is not a big deal. After all, it's worth it to be able to take control of Jieri State again. "
To Barney, he was not worried about Aamir's greed. Greed was easier to control.
Shi Naga nodded and said, "I agree!"
Aamir continued, "The second condition is that after defeating Du Qi's army and Jieri State recovers, His Highness will send troops to attack the Zhloki Dynasty in the south. His Highness unified the entire Tianzhu and made great contributions. As for me, I want to take revenge and massacre the people who killed my family. "
Shi Naga laughed after hearing this and said directly, "Mr. Aamir, as long as I have the chance, I will naturally go south. Even if you didn't mention it, I would still go south. "
Aamir stood up and said solemnly, "Aamir is willing to serve His Highness."
"Sit, sit!"
Shi Naga waved his hand and motioned for Aamir to take a seat. After Aamir sat down, Shi Naga said, "Mr. Aamir, you must have planned for today's matter for a long time. Now that you know that His Majesty is about to return to the capital, how are we going to win this battle and take down His Majesty? "
Aamir smiled and said, "Actually, this matter is very simple. There should be a lot of forces in Qu Nu City that belong to His Highness. You just need to mobilize these forces, leave Qu Nu City secretly, and ambush King of Jieri on his way back to Qu Nu City. Then, you can wipe them all out in one go. With King of Jieri dead, it will be easy for you to take control of Qu Nu City. "
"Of course, this alone is definitely not enough."
"His Highness' forces will be deployed in secret, but on the surface, it's to wipe out King of Jieri's forces in one fell swoop. You should also organize the King of Jieri's remaining forces in Qu Nu City and send them to meet the King of Jieri."
"After all, King of Jieri's safety may be affected since he fled back in a sorry state. So, it shouldn't be difficult to persuade all the forces under King of Jieri to escort him. "
"As long as all the King of Jieri's forces leave, His Highness will be able to wipe out the King of Jieri and the rest of the King of Jieri's forces in Qu Nu City in one fell swoop," said Aamir.
"After destroying the King of Jieri, you will be in charge of Qu Nu City and Jieri State, so you won't be hindered. At that time, you can make bold and decisive reforms. On the other hand, you can also organize people to resist Du Qi's attack. "
"Wonderful!"
Barney's face was full of approval after hearing it.
He hadn't thought of this plan.
By mobilizing the King of Jieri's forces, he would be able to gather all the King of Jieri's forces. Had it been any other time, it would have been impossible for Shi Naga to make the King of Jieri's forces leave or mobilize these people.
But now that the King of Jieri was in danger, Shi Naga pushed for this matter and asked everyone to escort him. The King of Jieri's people wouldn't dare to refuse, and they would definitely go.
On this basis, it would be easy to persuade the King of Jieri's direct subordinates.
Shi Naga nodded and praised, "Good, good. It's a good suggestion. Under the current circumstances, it's the best choice. You're really talented, Mr. Aamir. The Heavens sent you to Qu Nu City, which is a blessing from the Heavens. It's a pity that I only met you now, Mr. Aamir. "
"You flatter me, Your Highness," said Aamir modestly. "To be honest, I was lucky to be able to deal with the King of Jieri. Without this opportunity, I wouldn't have been able to deal with him. Normally, the King of Jieri's strength is tyrannical, and he's surrounded by guards. It's almost impossible to deal with the King of Jieri. "
"Indeed," Shi Naga said.
He also agreed with Aamir's analysis.
Barney stroked his beard and continued, "Right now, the King of Jieri is on the way back with his army. In a few days, he'll definitely arrive at Qu Nu City. So right now, we have to make this happen as soon as possible. If we delay too long, by the time the King of Jieri is outside the city, it won't be easy to overthrow the King of Jieri. "
"Mr. Barney is right," said Aamir.
Shi Naga wasn't a hesitant person, especially when he had already made a decision, so he directly said, "Teacher, this matter requires you and me to work together. You arrange for our people to be willing to escort the King back. This way, the King of Jieri's subordinates will definitely disagree, and they will take the initiative to go. "
"No problem," said Barney.
It wasn't difficult for him to arrange these things, especially for Shi Naga. He had been planning for so many years, and now he finally had a chance to push Shi Naga to the throne. This was what he wanted to see the most.
Aamir saw Shi Naga's and Barney's expressions, and his lips curled into a smile. He knew his plan had succeeded. Next, Shi Naga and the King of Jieri would have internal strife. Most importantly, through his plan, both the King of Jieri and Shi Naga's forces would have to leave Qu Nu City. This would leave Qu Nu City empty, giving him the opportunity to seize the city. At the same time, it would also facilitate the internal strife between the two sides. Taking down the King of Jieri and Shi Naga was equivalent to killing three birds with one stone.
Shi Naga solemnly said, "Mr. Aamir, I'll make the arrangements immediately. As for where you live, I'll inform you as soon as there's news, so that you can respond. "
Aamir said, "Reporting to Your Highness, I live in the western part of the city, near the city gate. If you have any questions, just ask Aamir where I live. Everyone there knows. After all, I've lived there for a few years."
Shi Naga said, "I understand."
Aamir then took his leave.
In the blink of an eye, only Barney and Corpse Naga were left in the study. The two of them discussed the follow-up matters and began to make their own arrangements.
