Chapter 1054: I am in the old camp, but my heart is with Ha (please vote for me)

Rufus took a deep breath, and then nodded slowly.{《》}..com

Lorraine's eyes couldn't help but a cold light flashed.

If the news brought by Rufus is true, it will be extremely shocking intelligence, and the result will change the established strategy of normal war.

Peacekeeping forces need to make major adjustments to their plans.

Because the names that came out of Rufus' mouth were all important members of the Southern Army.

Those people are not only Hadou's close friends and relatives of the Hadou family, but they are also famous and prominent families among the southern nobles.

Through hundreds of years of marriage, these families have formed a huge tree with intricate roots, firmly rooted in the southern land.

It was under their joint recommendation that General Hadou, that pauper, established a firm foothold here, secretly accumulated strength, plotted to separatize the place, and even raised troops to rebel and usurp the throne.

Even for the southern nobles who disliked Hadu, Hadu did not blatantly target them after he established a firm foothold.

But now, at this time, they have to negotiate with themselves.

This also shows that in the face of their powerful military strength, they finally cannot bear it anymore and are ready to surrender. This will also be a collapse.

The edifice of the Confederate Army will collapse in an instant because of division. The process of this war will be accelerated.

Lorraine's heart turned slightly, and then she calmed down.

This news is so good, and it comes at the right time, that it is almost unbelievable. Lorraine does not think that this kind of bargain that fell from the sky is so easy to take advantage of.

He stared at Rufus coldly and remained silent for a moment.

He looked at Rufus calmly, watching his face gradually change from being proud at first to silence under his gaze, and then became embarrassed again, and then lowered his head to avoid his sight, and from time to time

He secretly raised his eyes, looked at himself, and then quickly lowered his head.

From confidence to timidity.

Lorraine's brain was working nervously, and she kept thinking: Can you believe what Rufus said?

Of course there is no problem with this person's identity. The local nobles for generations did not just appear suddenly.

But what does he mean when he suddenly comes out to spread the word? Is he sent by the other party to set up a trap, or is he really just an intermediary liaison?

Is this news true, or is it a trap set by Hadu.

How should you deal with these two situations...

Immediately, he saw that Rufus was nervous, and a layer of sweat gradually appeared on his forehead. The sweat slowly gathered and turned into a drop of sweat the size of a soybean, and then slid down along the corner of his forehead.

Finally it dropped to the ground.

During the whole process, he didn't seem to notice it. He just sat nervously on the chair, motionless.

Rufus knew very well that if Lorraine didn't believe him, he would have to shed a layer of skin even if he was not dead. At this time, he was so nervous that he forgot everything outside him.

The guard next to him also looked at Lorraine quite nervously, constantly asking him with his eyes whether he should rush forward, capture the brat, and then torture him severely.

After all, sitting here and sending messages to Sir Alex already shows that the other party has a problem~!

Otherwise, why not find someone else but you? What is your relationship with the Southern Army?

Unknowingly, he quietly pushed the long sword out of the sheath with his thumb, revealing a bright and icy edge. Just waiting for Lorraine's order, he pulled out the long sword in the shortest possible time, and fiercely

Pounce~!

The atmosphere in the tent was extremely tense. Lorraine didn't say a word. Rufus didn't dare to express his anger. The air seemed to be frozen.

At this moment, Lorraine suddenly laughed, breaking the silence in the tent, and then said with a relaxed smile: "I said, Lao Lu, you are really good at joking. Knowing that I was unhappy, you came to me at this time.

Telling jokes, I have to say, your joke is very funny, hahahaha..."

Amidst his laughter, the guard next to him was at a loss, and his originally tense body could not help but relax slightly.

Rufus laughed twice and said awkwardly: "Sir, I...I am not joking. It is true."

Lorraine was still smiling, but her heart was spinning: Very good, whether true or false, this shows that the other party is really eager.

Seeing that Lorraine still didn't believe it, Rufus knew that he could no longer hide at this time. He gritted his teeth and threw out his trump card, and said seriously: "Commander, they have already sent someone."

Lorraine's smile suddenly faded, and she said solemnly: "Rufus, do you know that lying about military information is a serious crime."

When Rufus heard this, he couldn't help being shocked. His face turned pale instantly with fright, and then he jumped up from the chair. Then, he knelt on one knee in front of Lorraine and said hurriedly: "Sir, what I said

It's all true. I hope your Majesty will investigate clearly. You can verify it before you believe me."

Lorraine looked down at him coldly, seeing that he was stiff and motionless under tension, and immediately burst out laughing again.

He stood up from the chair, then supported Rufus with both hands, and said: "Old Lu, actually I am just joking with you, why do you have to be so serious, come on, come on, sit down, sit down. Hahahaha...

…”

With his help, Rufus stood up again. Only then did he feel his heart drop, and he couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

This lordship is moody, sometimes laughing, sometimes threatening, which is really scary. As expected, no big shot is simple.

At that time, if he had raised his finger, he would not be able to save his head, let alone his grand plans.

If possible, he would never want to experience it again. His heart couldn't bear this kind of up and down feeling.

Lorraine patted him on the shoulder and said: "Lao Lu, Sir, I have spent so much effort to do such a funny thing, how can you not laugh?"

Rufus grinned: Are you still smiling? Your old man was almost scared to death just now. How can you laugh like this? You can joke, but I don't dare to joke with you.

However, on the surface, he forced out a smile, smiled dryly twice, and then said carefully: "Sire, how about I go and call that person over now? You and him have a good time.

Let’s talk?”

Lorraine waved his hand and said: "No rush, no rush. Anyway, our army is right under the city, and taking down this poor place is just a matter of waving. Let Ya wait a little longer."

He paused for a moment, and then said with some sincerity: "Lao Lu, I think you are also a smart person. I heard that you and the local nobles are both staunch opponents, how come you got together with those people?

Although I don’t care, if the news of what you do is spread and people know about it, you will have to be labeled as ‘I am in the old camp, my heart is in Ha’. This will seriously affect your career.”

Rufus was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out carefully. Fortunately, he had also studied and studied the book "The War Between Three Kingdoms" written by Lord Luo in depth, and he also admired the red-faced second master in it.

.

Immediately I understood what it meant to be in Laoying with my body in Ha.

"Sir...I..." He hurriedly stood up to defend himself.

Lorraine waved his hand nonchalantly and said: "Sit down, tell me today what is going on. If there is any problem in the future, if some bastard jumps out and grabs your little

braid.

Believe me, there will definitely be no shortage of these bastards. Things like what you did today will be a stain on history to them, and they will be used to take advantage of you.

At that time, Sir, I can also come out and help you make a certificate or something."

"Yes, yes, yes." Rufus felt anxious after hearing this, and hurriedly agreed.

At the same time, I felt regretful in my heart.

At that time, I was preoccupied with thinking that if I could accomplish this, I would become famous, get promoted, and make a fortune. In the heat of my mind, I almost forgot how dangerous it was behind this.

The complacency in his heart that he was able to act as a liaison between the two major forces with ease has long since disappeared.

Thinking about it in the future, his actions are indeed unpopular. Both sides run away, but the relationship between the two parties is not hard. If he doesn't hug someone with a thick thigh, he will be sure to do it in the future if someone wants to do it.

He sat half-way down on the chair, then pondered for a moment and sorted out his thoughts.

Lorraine couldn't help but flash a look of appreciation in his eyes. Although this guy was a little reckless, he still had some sense.

At this time, Rufus coughed slightly, and then said: "Sir, the thing is like this. People like Earl Andracou, General Rasauer, General Mera, Lord Gurist... these people are all mine.

A great noble family in the south.

Their family history can be traced back hundreds of years. They all have big families and businesses. Each one of them is a noble elite and a leader in our south. Only they can represent the true southerners.

After a hundred years of marriage and alliance, these families have firmly controlled the south. Their forces are as tightly intertwined as tree roots under the ground.

Sir, if I'm not afraid of being offended, the southern nobles who have taken refuge with you are second-rate or third-rate at best, and they have taken refuge with you precisely because of their small foundation. All the truly first-rate nobles are over there.

Even for the sake of his own status, Hadou is not allowed to marry them and entrust them with important responsibilities."

As he spoke, he pointed in the direction of Desire.

Lorraine snorted lightly, not caring at all.

This kind of power hidden in the shadows of a centuries-old family can be said to be all-pervasive. Lorraine has seen it a lot in Ruman, and Ruman Prime Minister Russell has been fighting against them for decades.

This is why Catherine hates Russell himself, but has no objection to him as prime minister for more than 20 years. Even the relationship between the Flying Eagle Group and these big families involves struggles and compromises, and is very complicated.

This is a world ruled by aristocrats, and the power of aristocrats will never be as simple as it seems.

Rufus continued: "These aristocratic families are intertwined, and almost all the nobles have some relatives. And I...

The reason why they came to me is because, among the southern aristocrats, I can talk to the adults and have some kinship with them."

Lorraine's heart moved. Rufus had only been appreciated by him in the past few days, but the other party had already come to the door through him.

Obviously someone here tipped them off. The energy of these southern nobles should not be underestimated.

But if you think about it, you can understand that the inability of the New Army and the Southern Army to keep secrets from each other is all the result of these nobles. Many nobles, even if they know that he has a relationship with the enemy, can't do anything to him.
