In Lingfeng castle, Gustav is describing to Arthur his battle of wits and courage with robus.


    "My friend, you don''t know that those damn priests of the God of light are here to provoke our feelings!"


    "It''s not emotion, it''s friendship!" Arthur stressed.


    "Anyway, it''s affectionate, all the same!" Gustav waved and then said, "you don''t know, the guy first took out this box of gold coins, and then talked about the story of King hollian and sepans. Damn the golden priest, who he thinks he is, with a box of gold coins and a few flattering words, he underestimates me Gustav!"


    Arthur smiled and joked, "how could he underestimate you? The other party still praised you as the" best administrator ", which is much better than" dung Gustav ". Your name is well known in the East!"


    Gustav smiled with shrewdness in his eyes: "such nonsense can also coax the unborn children. Those nobles in the East must hate us. Praise? Ah, unless we give them armor and weapons for nothing."


    "Then they have to give us gold coins for nothing," said Arthur.


    After drinking a mouthful of ale, Gustav then said, "my friend, as I say, just drive those guys away. Don''t see them. These bastards obviously have bad intentions and provoke our feelings. They seem to want to drive away the scholars. Such people have the face to call themselves servants of God. I think they are a group of damn villains!"


    Arthur thought: "according to master ilu, that robus is a knowledgeable man, known as the" walking bookcase ". The God of light can have today''s situation in the East, which has a lot to do with him."


    "What a walking bookcase!" said Gustav disdainfully. "That guy has a bad idea to provoke our feelings. I think he is a clever fool. He thinks that as long as he takes out some gold coins, I can let Gustav betray his friends. How can this be possible!"


    Looking at Gustav who seemed to be asking for credit, Arthur smiled and said: "This is just a meeting ceremony. Everyone knows the story of cypress. When you have the seeds of suspicion and uneasiness in your heart and the ambition to replace me, they will give you real gifts, such as my current position. In short, they will try their best to lure you and let you reach some cooperation with them in doubt and uneasiness."


    "However, they probably never dreamed that you would come to me without hesitation with gold coins, truthfully tell the contents of the talks, and severely belittle them in front of me."


    "So I say that guy is a fool," Gustav said. "He doesn''t know the situation of Shanghe collar and my Gustav. Even if everyone betrays you, I Gustav will stand in front of you and block all attacks for you!"


    "Thank you very much for your good armor." glancing at Gustav''s "plump" figure, Arthur continued, "the person who has such a reputation and can think of such a trick should not be a brainless guy..."


    Looking at Arthur with a thoughtful face, Gustav said indifferently, "but he just did stupid things without brains. My friend, you know, fame is used to increase people''s imagination."


    Arthur shook his head, looked at Gustav who did not agree and said, "you will think he is stupid because you saw through his plot. After thinking about it, how many people in the world can resist temptation with this box of gold coins?"


    Very few. Staring at the gold coins on the table, Gustav thought.


    Looking at him, Arthur continued: "with the change of territory, you now handle tens of thousands of gold coins every month. Naturally, you won''t be tempted by these hundreds of gold coins. Moreover, you know the strength of Lingfeng castle."


    "And our friendship!" Gustav stressed.


    "Well, it''s friendship that keeps you from temptation," Arthur continued, "but think about what will happen to the river collar in the future if you are really bought or lured by each other?"


    "I will lose your friend and lose my life."


    Arthur shook his head and said, "you have to imagine yourself as cypress according to each other''s thinking."


    "My friend!" after thinking for a while, Gustav said hurriedly, "that''s just the compliments the other party said to buy me off. Everyone knows that the change of the river collar is your credit! I don''t have the prestige of cypress at all. Even if there is, I will make the same decision as cypress!"


    "I just want you to think about it!" Arthur said angrily, looking at the guy''s nervous appearance. He said friendship just now!


    "Cypress..." Gustav said while thinking. "If so, we will turn against each other, fight with each other, and the river collar will fall into chaos... Arthur! It''s impossible. I don''t have cypress''s strength at all!"


    "That''s the problem," said Arthur. "They take so much trouble to buy and lure you. Either they have plans we don''t know, or something goes wrong and let them treat you as a river leader sepans. Don''t underestimate your opponent. It''s the greatest stupidity to underestimate your enemy."


    "I don''t know the plan..." after thinking about it, Gustav said, "Arthur, let''s drive those guys away. As long as they get out of the river collar, whatever plan they have!"


    Looking at his worried look, Arthur smiled and asked, "why, are you worried that you will end up like sepans?"


    Gustav shook his head calmly, looked at Arthur and said, "I believe in myself and you more! I''m just worried that being lured by the other party and doing something bad will break your reform plan."


    "You guy..." Arthur was suddenly moved. "Apart from consuming too much food, which is not conducive to reform, you are not so destructive!"


    Hearing Arthur''s sarcasm, Gustav smiled: "the shit is twice that of others, and there is more fertilizer."


    In front of the desk, they looked at each other and smiled.


    After calming his mind a little, Arthur said coldly, "it''s not enough to just shut out the robbers who have thought about their property. We must teach them some lessons and let them have a long memory!"


    "Listen to you. It''s best to make these guys never dare to go to the river to pay attention!"


    Looking at Gustav who was eager to try, Arthur said, "it''s very simple. Since the other party uses separatism, we will use anti separatism. Tomorrow I''ll make them lose face and order them to get out of the river..."
