Chapter 166 Second Prince Clarence
The flat-shaped carriage became a temporary rest stop for the students. In addition to some girls who were really tired in the class, even the girls from several nearby classes would come to take a break, which made Lu Chen's popularity rise to another level. At the same time, Melissa and Talia, who were by his side, also became the objects of envy, because in everyone's eyes, this carriage was specially brought for them by Lu Chen; and such a behavior of considering his girlfriend directly turned Lu Chen into the ideal lover in the minds of most girls. After all, most of the boys around him were unwilling to carry a bag for them.
Nothing happened again after an afternoon of march. The brigade quickly followed the time to enter the night of late autumn, and then everyone started camping in the wild.
Lu Chen, who had a carriage, naturally didn't have to worry about this, not to mention that the shadow of caterpillars in his heart made him afraid to sleep on the grass all night; he pulled out the beasts who pulled the carriage and put them on the side to eat grass, then put them on the carriage and put them on the big bed.
As for the two beauties, after noon, they no longer care about what others would think. When they saw Lu Chen put on the bed, they blushed and put on their hands together, as if they were Lu Chen's little wives. After finishing, when they saw Lu Chen take out three sets of pillows and quilts, they were so embarrassed that they didn't dare to get out of the car to see people, so they hugged each other and smiled secretly.
Lu Chen didn't think too much. Anyway, he just wanted to take care of these two girls who were good to him, and let them stay in the carriage, so he got off the car and got out to get dinner. Unlike the tension at noon, the night without marching was enough for him to make a sumptuous dinner, so he had a huge space ring, turning the boring marching meal into a "gala", and undoubtedly attracted some people who could move freely again.
Of course, there is no need to say about Rosel and others. He was the first to come to the group who spoiled Leni, the little sister. Then there was an inspection team composed of the college tutors, and they also used the name of the inspection to eat and drink. Anyway, they all knew Lu Chen had the instructions of the vice president in charge and would not be criticized for anything. Then they were from the army, and they were old acquaintances they met during the last college mission.
Originally, the patrol soldiers came to see who dared to hold a banquet that was so bold to violate the marching regulations. However, after seeing that it was Lu Xien, the newly promoted marquis, she sat down and ate some food together after a few polite words. After all, it would be difficult to not add some to such an evening. Just a hearty laughter came, and the soldiers immediately threw away their food and stood up straight.
"Haha, I thought someone had kidnapped my man. It turned out that Marquis Lucien was entertaining the exchange students. It's okay. Since it was invited by the Marquis, you should accompany you, but you can't delay the patrol in the evening. Marquis, don't mind accompanying me, right?" The visitor said a little "indifferent" and, in line with his age, he looked like a playboy who came to make a military contribution.
He clapped his hands and comforted the two girls who wanted to accompany him. Lu Chen said nothing and left with the person in front of him, as if they were friends who had known each other for a long time.
Seeing the two left, Rosel looked at his two teachers a little nervously. When he saw the teacher shaking his head slightly, he could only give up the idea of letting Leni, the sister who liked to pester Lu Chen, follow him. However, the invitation-only person who always worried him about what he would say to Lu Chen. The original food no longer tasted in his mouth, because he knew that this person was the leader of the Fifty-Eighth Legion of the Kingdom of Fineci, Prince Clarence West, who was responsible for the safety of the students on the training road. And letting his subordinates stay here for dinner was obviously a disguised surveillance.
After leaving the campsite, until the bonfire by the carriage became difficult to see clearly, Lu Chen said: "His Highness Clarence, just say anything. Go forward, I will suspect that you have any ill-behavior."
"Uh...haha, you're much more interesting than I thought. No wonder Verona was recognized." Clarence was not surprised at all when his identity was revealed directly. Who would let those subordinates see that reaction? If the boy in front of him still foolishly asked who he was, he would have to consider whether he should use his rights to recover Verona back.
After shutting down his subordinates, Clarence continued, "Actually, I wanted to see you a long time ago, but you seem to be busier than me, haha... Thank you for the idea you gave me last time, which made me cheat a great benefit from my father, and then about the Skinner family. I want to divide some benefits, or to put some effort into the Kingdom to defeat them. I wonder if you, the behind-the-scenes planner, have any good suggestions? Don't look at me with this kind of eyes, don't worry I haven't gone to Verona."
As a prince of a king, Clarence must have his information channels. Knowing that some of his arrangements are normal, Lu Chen did not make much trouble. He just encountered some messy things before the dangers he had to face in the training began, which made him very upset. However, he was afraid that the other party would bother his second wife, Lu Chen still said: "What do you want to get? Just 'some benefits' is too general. Whether it is financial resources, manpower, technology, or anything else, it would be impossible to be clear."
"Ha, it seems that I'm looking for you right. Human resources, the Legion's expenses for equipment maintenance are too high. If there are a group of specialized maintenance personnel, I will be satisfied."
"Humanpower..." After thinking for a while, Lu Chen replied unwillingly: "You can marry a woman with a certain status in their family in advance, or you can find a way to charge all the people you want, and then send them to the army to do hard labor... If you don't want people to know, you can also bribe someone, let him lead the way at a specific time, and successfully lead people to escape."
These methods are quite detrimental, but because his wife might have been cast into his arms, Lu Chen gave him the human resources that were not very reliable to him.
"It's a good idea, but these are based on the demise of the Skinner family, right?" Clarence did not ask foolishly, "Why are he so confident?" because his so-called "information" was a secret order from the Kingdom to the Skinner family. An expensive fee that the Kingdom is unlikely to pay, which only means that the Skinner family must perish, otherwise the Kingdom would have no money to do anything within two or three years.
"Yes, but don't worry about this. You should be told what might happen in this training. Although Beaumont is nothing wrong, his self-protection has completely divided Skinner. Those who were expelled from the family were not only a group of people who did not support him, but also a chain that allowed their family to truly unite. No matter how tough the remaining people are, they are just small pieces of iron that quickly disperse, and they will only care about their own interests. At least in the short term, it is impossible to be as united as before. You can even find ways to catch some people and force them to surrender. Of course, the possibility is slim, and these people must be resentful to me. If there are any actions that are unfavorable to me, I will never give you face." Because of Verona's relationship, Lu Chen simply spread the matter openly so that something unhappy will happen in the time.
"Wow, it's really fate that meets you in the Skinner family. If you guessed correctly, you should have other means... Don't worry, I have no other intentions, just ask casually, you don't need to tell me anything." It seemed that casually spoke unintentionally, but after Lu Chen's breathing changed slightly, Clarence had already fully understood.
"Then should you tell me the information you want to exchange with me? Also, don't look cynical, it's completely unworthy of your temperament, it's too fake." Lu Chen said without any hesitation.
"Ah, hehe, isn't this to cooperate with you, and it's rare, and it's quite easy." But as soon as he finished speaking, Clarence's temperament changed back to iron blood and strength. After taking out a topographic map and handing it to Lu Chen, he continued: "In order to capture the rebels and protect those exchange students, the kingdom dispatched three legions, including me, which records all the deployment of troops. Also, in addition to being careful of the rebellion of the Assassin and the Skinner family, you also have to be careful of two people, one is my eldest brother Angus, and the other is my cousin Ulysses."
Seeing Lu Chen looking at him quietly, Clarence smiled helplessly and continued: "It's not intentional to provoke something. I think about it, only the two of them can cultivate such an assassin team in the last assassin mission. The eldest brother has experienced the succession process of his father. His personality is a bit extreme, and he may do anything to achieve his goal. My cousin always thinks that his father took away everything from him, including his uncle's life, so... hehe, you'll be more careful anyway." Perhaps because of his personality, Clarence won't continue to click here, and it's all for Lu Chen to judge.
Before the wave was settled, the wave started again and again. Lu Chen felt extremely impressed. After a few polite words, he took the initiative to end the conversation and said goodbye and went back to the camp.
"What do you think?" Not long after Lu Chen left, Clarence asked the person who walked to him.
"Haha, it's a strange boy, but it's worth teaching him this friend. Besides, the man Verona likes must have more secrets. But your performance just now disappointed me. Why didn't you tell him that Malcolm Little was working for Ulysses? The last time things were too obvious. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with Parn, otherwise you and Angus would have been pissed off. If you do it well, one of your brothers might lose the right to inheritance."
"I know, but you have also seen that my father still feels guilty about his cousin for more than ten years. He would rather give me more command of the army and two positions that can speak for me in the court, and not let things go; if I do what you say, once Lucien is impulsive to treat the Skinner family and go to trouble Ulysses, then I will be the one who is unlucky in the end. This matter can only be known through other populations. If you can't get anxious, it's best to reveal it by Parn or Luna." Clarence said a little sadly.
"Haha, Parn? You are still worried that this brother has come. Even if he has no trace recently, he has obtained the entire Skinner family. He has no military power in hand, and at most he is a businessman. Princess Luna is worth noting. She hasn't returned to the academy this week, and there is no sign in the team now. I don't know what he is busy with at her grandmother's house. His uncles are all elite soldiers who have been through the battlefield."
"Okay, I just mentioned it casually, stop talking nonsense, quickly tell me your opinions on Lucien's three methods." Clarence urged.
"I have no objection, just execute them all. There is no conflict anyway. You are just interested in Sophia, and her parents are even more excluded by the family. It's just that at this time, it's better for them."
"...Kenny Wilkins, I understand. You guy is more cruel than Lucien. No wonder Verona didn't want you."
"...Clarence West, you are not much better than me. You look pretty and are actually full of bad things. You deserve to be abandoned by Verona before you graduate."
