Chapter 319 Rox's Plan

"The Gus family?" About a quarter of an hour later, on the cherry wood sofa in the living room of the manor, Swain squinted his eyes half leaning on the table and chairs and asked, "Is all this deduced by the little widow in Morondo?"

"Pay attention to your wording old guy." Rox rolled his eyes at the other party: "You are so old, and you still look like a ruffian when you talk."

"Cut, Laozi has always been like this. I didn't see you dislike Laozi before? Now you look like your tail has been stepped on. What's wrong? Are you interested in that widow?"

"Shut up!!" Rox blushed, looked at the stunned Galen beside him, coughed lightly, and said, "What do you think of her statement?"

"There's a big loophole." Swain drank tea and said leisurely, "But it's not impossible. Do you still remember the last battle of the king? Before the final battle between the king and the chief of Doomhammer, it was in the Gus family. It was attacked by assassins."

Majesty, attacked? Which king? The gallon next to him was taken aback, thinking in a daze.

When he heard this, Rox's face suddenly became gloomy. He naturally knew which king the other party was talking about. In the eyes of this guy, he would not regard the idiot emperor sitting on the seat as the king!

Rox: "To be honest, even though I suspected there was an insider at the beginning, I never thought it would be the Gus family, that family"

Gus family?

Galen was in a daze at this moment, he thought he was here to relax with Rox, but instead heard one secret after another that made his jaw drop.

The former marshal of the empire, the first generation of military god Ghost Fox is still alive, and the current emperor, the emperor who claims to have the most military exploits in all dynasties except the second generation Wudi actually died of murder? The most important thing is that the object of suspicion of the two big bosses is the Gus family!

The Gus family, the family status of the prime ministers of the past dynasties, this is too crazy, right?

"I actually suspected it at the beginning." Swain sighed: "Because of genetic diseases, the children of the Gus family are very fragile. They can neither practice martial arts nor become a mage. Therefore, in terms of intelligence and order control, This family is considered to be the best among all the families in the empire. It was able to assassinate the king within the Gus family, and there was no trace of clues after that. Apart from the cooperation of the Gus family, to be honest, I really can’t find a second reason.”

Rox bowed his head when he heard the words. The other party was right. Because of genetic diseases, the Gus family could not cultivate illegitimate children to serve as personal force like other nobles. All force was hired outsiders. In terms of intelligence, this family is quite rigorous.

It wasn't that he didn't doubt that such an assassination operation could be planned within the Gus family without any leaks afterwards.

But

"Since you doubted it, why didn't you say it?" Rox asked with a frown.

"I can't think of a motive." Swain sighed and continued a cup of black tea for the other party and said quietly: "In the empire, no family can be more honored and favored than them. A family that has not been able to produce knights and mages for thousands of years can Glory has lasted so long, which faction gave them so many benefits?"

Rox nodded upon hearing the words. In this world, it is difficult for a family of pure civil servants to last long. After all, this is an extraordinary world. In the countries of the Western Islands, no matter how high your political talent is, if your family does not It is basically difficult for a great mage to stand out. The example of the Gus family is a miracle, and there will never be a second case even in the Gangwu Empire.

In this case, what kind of interests would make them betray the empire?

Swain pointed to the map and said: "The little widow's speculation is about the overall situation. The contradiction is that the Gus family is not a super hand, and they don't have the ability. It is impossible for a family without a strong man to rule. There are other ambitious partners, but if they are not the leader, what is the point of betrayal? In the empire, their family status is already high enough, if not reaching the top, what else can they pursue?"

Rox bowed his head silently when he heard the words. If it was before, he might be persuaded by the other party's words, but now

"What if someone could fix the disease inherited from the Gus family?"

"What?" Swain was shocked when he heard the words, and almost subconsciously denied: "How is it possible?"

Every generation of the Gus family will invest a lot of money in those alchemists, just to find out the solution to their blood diseases. Even the guardians of the Tower of Mysteries for several generations have personally investigated and studied the diseases of their families, but they have not been able to find out. The solution.

This is something that the world has recognized as unsolvable.

"It's not impossible for an organization that can revive dead heroes to serve it," Rox said quietly.

Swain was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "I've heard that you are going to ask someone to open the coffin of the Tower of Glory, you really dare to think about it."

"You don't believe what I said?" Rox looked at the other side and said.

"It seems that you are serious." Swain sighed and shook his head: "To be honest, if you didn't say this, I might just drive him away with a stick!"

"But according to my guess, wouldn't the logic make sense?" Rox said quietly.

Swain fell silent immediately upon hearing this.

Indeed, if there is any interest that can make the Gus family turn against them, it is a very important motivation to solve his family's blood disease

With the huge wealth of their family, if this disease can be solved, how many outstanding knights and mages cannot be cultivated?

After all, who wants to be ordinary if they can become an extraordinary family?

"You came to me because you wanted me to agree with your crazy point of view?" Swain asked curiously.

"I came to you for consultation." Rox pointed to the cities on the map and said, "If my crazy conjecture is true, how do you think we can get out of the current predicament?"

"It's hard." Swain looked at the map and shook his head. "Once this kind of siege is in trouble, with the strength of the imperial capital, it will be very difficult to drag the frontier army back to help. If you want to win, you can only transfer the frontier army in advance."

Speaking of this, Swain paused for a moment, then looked at the other party and said, "You bastard, did you come here today to drag me into the water?"

"I have no other choice." Rox murmured with a wry smile, "I can only rely on you, old man! In this empire, you don't need a commander-in-chief to persuade the frontier army. You are the only one besides me."

"The key is how long can you last?"

"Ten days." Rox smiled bitterly: "If you start to attack, it will be ten days at most!"

"Ten days?" Swain rolled his eyes at the other party and said, ""In ten days, the frontier army can't even cover half of the distance."

"No way," Rox said with a wry smile and spread his hands: "Even the Red Dragon City is under the control of the other party. I will be optimistic for ten days." Having said that, he said seriously: "Everything depends on you, old man , if I can't hold on at that time, the only one who can save the empire from falling under the influence of the shadow stream is you!!"

The second update is here, and there will be a third update today, but it should be after 12:30. After all, this chapter spends a lot of space on the new character Swain, but don’t think I’m long-winded. There is a reason for him, and he will be a more important figure in the next few chapters

Okay, let's slip away and code words.
