(I had a fever for three days, and today I was a little better. The first gift for the New Year made me speechless. I was really trying my best to work hard this month.)

Chapter 297 [Night of Snow on the Scarlet Snow] (Eighteen)

"As a result, the uprising happened."

Fiona stood on the terrace and looked into the distance. In the night, the outline of the buildings in the imperial capital was vaguely visible, and there was a faint light of fire in the distance.

"It seems that Dongyuan is making a lot of noise tonight." She turned around, as if she sighed softly, then looked at the person in front of her deeply, and whispered: "Old sir, have you been betting on this bet?"

As she said that, this beautiful mature woman gently closed her hair. When she raised her arms, she immediately squeezed the two balls on her chest, which looked particularly attractive from the side.

Unfortunately, the person in front of Fiona at this moment had never glanced at her.

The old man only stared at the cup of steaming tea in front of him, and sighed softly, slowly picked up the tea cup in front of him with both hands, blew a breath of heat, then went up and sniffed the refreshing fragrance of tea carefully.

Fiona turned around and glanced at the old man. She couldn't help but frowned, but then smiled softly, saying, "Clan leader, my young master asked me to come to see you in secret, and I have another word to tell you."

Unexpectedly, the old man was still indifferent. He sniffed the tea fragrance again, and then slowly said in a casual and lazy tone: "Oh? What are the tricks that little girl is playing? Hum... I tell me a word? It's at this critical moment, what else can I say? I have done everything I should do, and the bets I should set, and the team I should stand firm. Even if there is another accident at this moment, my old man can't turn the horse around. Even though I know there is a cliff ahead, I have to walk all the way to the dark. Your Duchess, you have to tell me at this time, Hum..."

As he said that, he shook his head and said, "I don't think I am kind, I'm afraid it's just to mess up my mind!"

Fiona's expression was strange. She couldn't help but look at the old man. She endured it and endured it. She had to smile bitterly: "Old sir, at this moment tonight, this big bet is in progress, and all the companies have entered the game. You, the rich man, have placed a heavy bet. Why don't you go to the palace to watch the bet carefully, but you are with me, a little girl here..."

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

The old man suddenly laughed loudly. He laughed for a while before slowly drinking the cup of hot tea, glanced at Fiona and said lightly: "Watching the gambling game, what's good about it? Is it interesting to have a river of blood? I've lived for most of my life, and I'm used to watching the fight - what's good about this kind of thing? It's nothing more than red blood, white brains, colorful intestinal internal organs...

A sneering sword, a crack, the white ones come in, the red ones come out, the broken limbs and body rolling around... Is it fun? Is it very interesting? If you see too many such scenes, it makes people unable to eat or sleep, and what's the point? Anyway, my old man's bet is made. After the matter is over, if the task is completed, I will naturally have to make a contribution. If the matter fails, I will not escape the liquidation even if I hide in the sky. Why do I have to go to the front of me at this critical moment?"

"You... aren't worried at all?" Fiona sighed.

"Worry! Why don't you worry!" The old man widened his eyes and looked at Fiona and smiled bitterly: "Why don't you worry? This bet is my life, my life, the fate, wealth, future of my Liszt family for generations... I have never made such a gamble for such a second time."

"Are you afraid?"

"Scared! Why aren't you afraid!" The old man sighed softly: "If you lose the bet, it means that the Liszt family will never recover. I am old and it's nothing to live or die, but the loser will definitely be cleansed and excluded. My Liszt family has been in a prosperous place for more than a hundred years, but I am afraid that I will live with my tail in the future."

Fiona also sighed quietly: "If I had known today, why should you, sir, you..."

"Bah!" The old man suddenly stared at Fiona with wide eyes: "You say this, it makes people angry! You little girl look very smart, why do you say such stupid words! Such a big bet is right in front of you, are you qualified to stand by and watch the game without ending? With this qualification, you are the only one in the entire empire! Everyone else will be forced to express their opinions in the end! If you don't express your opinion, it will be a shake of your position. No matter who comes on stage, you will be the first to deal with you! I don't want to place a bet, but I am not qualified to stand by and watch the scenery in this bet."

Fiona's heart moved: This may be a bit absolute, but the truth is true!

A wealthy family like Liszt and the top rich and wealthy families in the empire will win over no matter which force it is. No matter which side, they will never sit idly by and watch such a huge help and let it go in vain.

So it is impossible for the Liszt family to survive alone - not to mention that this old man had always been ambitious and wanted to rise up and become a real political family. How could he let go of such an opportunity?

As for the issue of betting... If you are not strong enough, have a high status, and have a strong enough power, you naturally don't need to bet - such a character will not come to win you over. As long as you wait quietly, wait until the winner comes to power, kneel down and cheer honestly.

On the contrary, a wealthy family like the Liszt family cannot escape it.

And the only family in the empire that is qualified to watch tiger fights is tulips!

As long as the tulip is unwilling to end, no one can force it!

"It's you, little girl..." The patriarch Liszt looked at Fiona and said slowly: "Today, you, the chief manager of the Tulip Workshop, did not go to the prosperous place of the palace to see the scenery, but came to accompany me, the old man to have tea. Why? With the tulip house sign hanging on you, no one dared to touch you. No matter who wins or loses, you can finally see the scenery safely.

But your eldest lady sent your tribe to me for what? What else can I see if I have any good things to see?"

Fiona smiled softly and covered her mouth and whispered: "Old sir, why do you ask me knowingly? Our young master is really taking care of you! Do you know that tonight, in the imperial capital, I was the only one who came to visit your mansion, and no other family was treated like this!"

The patriarch Liszt stared at Fiona and then looked at him, and finally nodded: "It is worthy of being a talent trained by the Tulips family. If you can sit in the position of the chief manager of the Tulips Workshop, there is indeed no mediocre person. Little girl, just watch it carefully with me, and only hope for the end, not to have a bad ending."

Fiona and the patriarch Liszt looked at each other. Both of them knew it well. On this special night of New Year's Eve tonight, the Tulip Family arranged Fiona, the spokesperson of the Tulip Family in the imperial capital, to Liszt's mansion!

If the Liszt family sets up, then Fiona is a chess piece to monitor and will remind the Liszt tribe to stop when things are done well, don’t be too much!

If the Liszt family loses the bet, then Fiona, who stands here, will be a talisman of the Liszt family and a gold medal to save lives!

Fiona stands here, which represents the will of the Tulips family! Even though the Liszt family has become acquainted with the Tulips family in recent years and even has a different intention, the Tulips family still refuses to give up this important ally who has followed it for more than a hundred years.

At critical moments, I am still willing to help them!

This is the extraordinary feature of the Tulip Family!

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with the left and right now." Fiona also picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip: "Your old man will tell me what the hell is. You should get the bottom of this bet."

"Hmph..." Captain Liszt frowned: "What? Don't you know?"

"I am a little manager. The young master sent me here to be a mascot. Where can I be qualified to hear the real secrets." The woman's eyes flashed in Fiona's eyes, and then she smiled and said, "I think... No matter what happens tonight, there is no way around the world. Whoever holds a sword makes sense! At this time, if you want to do something, whoever has someone in your hands will be the king. I think, Master, your bet..."

"Stop guessing." The patriarch Liszt said lightly: "What trump card does our family have? You are so smart, and you will know it when you think about it. Why do you have to pretend to be stupid to make me happy."

Fiona flew with a charming look, and said shyly: "Oh, the clan leader is so happy with me. Well... Let me think about it, the Liszt family is rich in the world. If we talk about financial resources, if we can be stronger than you in this empire, we really can't find anyone. But if this money is about to become a sword at the end of time, I'm afraid it's not so convenient. No matter which side, although money is important, it won't take too seriously...... Well! I understand!"

Fiona's eyes lit up and she whispered: "Are you... the dozens of hotels and inns that are spread across the capital of the Lister family?"

As we all know, the Lister family is rich in the world. In addition to maritime trade and many industrial fields of the empire, the Lister family is also in a field and can be regarded as the leader of the empire, which is the hotel.

I don’t know if it was the creativity provided by that bastard Du Wei back then, but the Liszt family actually played a game like the chain hotel industry in the world of the Roland Empire.

With strong financial resources and deep background from the upper class, in this field, no one in the empire can compete with him.

Especially in the imperial capital where every inch of land is valuable, in such a city that gathers wealth in the world, almost all the hotels in the imperial capital belong to the Lister family!

This has to be said to be a miracle! If someone had not supported it behind the scenes, he would never have been able to do this!

The empire's major wealthy families seemed to have already divided their respective power territories. The Lister family seemed to have absolute leadership in the hotel industry.

There are dozens of hotels of all sizes in the imperial capital, all of which are under the Lister family. When Chen Daolin came to the imperial capital, the arrogant words of the Liszt family to Chen Daolin were not exaggerated: it is really difficult to find a hotel in the entire imperial capital that is not a Liszt emblem and flag - if not, all of them were merged or squeezed to collapse and close down.

And when there are dozens of hotels in the largest city in the empire, such as the Imperial Capital - and the hotel itself is an industry with a huge traffic flow, then it will naturally be much more convenient if you want to take the opportunity to do something!

"In the past month, the 64 hotels in the imperial capital have transferred more than 1,700 people in total. Among them... 1,500 people have been settled quietly. These people replaced the work servants in the hotels. Such a replacement, at least on the books, does not seem to increase much, and it has also concealed many secretly observing eyes. In addition, I have been in and out of the imperial capital twice, and I, a patriarch, have always brought some guards around me. I have twice.

When I went to the imperial capital, I brought five hundred guards around me, but when I left, I took away five hundred people, but 300 of them were replaced by ordinary men and servants in various stores of the imperial capital, and two hundred elite soldiers were hidden in secret. Of course... Although this is a scheming method, safety is safe, but it is not without loopholes. The armored soldiers hidden in the imperial capital are all concealed as servants in various business stores of the family, and so many people were drawn. In various stores and hotels, the records of errors and complaints have risen sharply this month, and the business is getting worse and worse.

In order to get this hidden armored soldier, I racked my brains, and even the chefs in the hotel were replaced by elite soldiers! If you came yesterday, the grooms in my house would have the status of formal warriors!"

When Fiona heard this, she couldn't help but be shocked. She took a breath and calculated carefully. She sighed: "So, you already have two thousand soldiers in this city! And they should be all the elite private troops accumulated by the Liszt family over the years!"

"For this plan, the elites of my Liszt family in the south have been wiped out. At this time, something went wrong in the south of Roshan, and then my old man's fun will be great."

Fiona covered her mouth and smiled: "This trick is wonderful! But old man...Which side did you place this bet tonight?"

The old man looked at Fiona and smiled without saying a word.

Fiona thought for a moment and understood the intention of the patriarch Liszt to take the school exam. He deliberately frowned and then smiled: "If it were a few days ago, the most hopeful one would naturally be Prince Hilo. But as His Majesty recalled Gothdel's order was passed..."

"Is Prince Hilo?" said Liszt lightly: "If he had promised to marry Lodell, I would have been betting all my wealth on him now! But is this prince... Isn't it that my old man is stupid? I have lived at such a age and this entire empire. There are only two or three people who I can't see through, among which is this Prince Xiaoyao. So... when he refused my marriage back then, I felt disappointed, but I felt a sense of relief. He had already refused my favor back then, so naturally I wouldn't bet on him now."

"Then... it must be Goth!" Fiona smiled and said, "Your Majesty summoned him back to the imperial capital before the New Year celebration, and his intentions were clear! And I heard that Goth had always had a lot of friendship with Miss Lodell... As for the Darling Master, I think anyone with a discerning eye knows that that one is just a cover. If you bet on Goth, it's not......"

"Hahaha! I told you not to pretend to be stupid just now, but now I'm here to act obediently and coax me old man." The patriarch Liszt waved his hand: "Feona, girl, Goth doesn't need to mention Goth. If the emperor really passed the throne to Goth, I would just knock out my eyes and slapped it on this table for you to see! Goth is an excellent young man, a good young man! But with my understanding of him, he will never be a good emperor! I, a foolish old man, can't I see this? Is it as smart as Your Majesty?"

Fiona covered her mouth and smiled, making her smile tremble, especially her charming demeanor, bright and charming! The woman deliberately widened her innocent eyes and said softly: "Can you........."

The patriarch Liszt immediately turned a slut, pretending to be angry, glaring and shouting: "Enough! You girl, you are becoming more and more obedient! Let's talk about such stupid words to coax me, and then drive you out directly! You don't want to drink my tea. The chief manager of the tulip workshop, if you really say such stupid words, I think the tulip workshop is not far from closing!"

Fiona was not angry, and chuckled softly, and said, "Okay, sir, don't be angry. I'm outside, and it's unknown whether I can't see the situation clearly. But you... I didn't even win three guesses. Is there anyone else to choose besides the three parties I mentioned?"

"I don't know if there is one, I don't know." The patriarch Liszt said lightly: "The bets I made by my old man will not be pressed on the three parties you mentioned.

"Then you bet..."

"Me? My old man of my age is naturally seeking stability!" Clan Liszt smiled slightly: "The current situation, this heavy bet is the safest choice only when it is pressed on His Majesty himself! After all, it is all about His Majesty's thoughts! I don't care who will be the crown prince in the future, anyway, my old man will follow His Majesty. Whoever His Majesty says to me, I will be loyal to whom! If anyone opposes His Majesty's decision, my two thousand children in the city will fight him with swords!"

"Dear brother, I'm still thinking until now. What else do you have to do with you that I never thought of." Shilo stood there, Duzel's body under his feet was not cold yet, and blood stained his boots red. However, the prince looked up at his brother, and his handsome face still had an elegant smile: "But I have to say, I really like this feeling tonight. I have endured it for so many years and finally can play a game with you tonight!"

"Hmph." The emperor sneered.

"Brother, I am now general. I don't know where your help is?"

The emperor sighed softly: "A Storm Army of an infantry regiment is indeed not enough to turn the tables. So, what about adding three?"

Hilo's eyes suddenly contracted into a cold star!

“…three?”

The emperor smiled softly, but looked down at Pete, who was standing in front of him under the steps, whispering: "Where is that old gentleman's man?"

"Your Majesty, you have gathered as I plan before dark. At this moment... you should be almost outside the palace gate!"

Just as Hilo's face changed slightly, outside the hall, the bloody Aker had suddenly ran in quickly and rushed to Hilo's side. His tone was rapid: "Your Highness... Outside the gate of the palace, there were infantry soldiers rushing in in a row! I've seen it. There were at least three infantry regiments, more than two thousand people! The leader was under the banner of the Imperial Guards of the Palace! It's... I recognize that he is from the inner court!"

As he said that, Aker looked at Old Pete in the distance deeply and gritted his teeth, "The inner court would never hide so many ambushers! This Old Pete must be doing something again!"

After hearing this, Hilo's expression calmed down instead, nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Are two thousand people? Block them."

"Stop, block..." Aker was stunned.

Shilo stared at Aker and suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Dear Brother Aker, is there any other choices besides blocking them at this time? Just block them! You still have thousands of Thunder Whip in the city, and you will come to kill later. Just two thousand people, if you can block them for half an hour, it will be considered as a perfect result!"

Aker gritted his teeth hard, then turned around and rushed out!

Outside the door, the horn was fast, and the call for Thunder Whip to re-arrange.

In the square outside the hall, the Storm Army also began to retreat and opened contact with the Thunder Whip Rebels. At least two hundred corpses fell from the open space left by both sides! Among them, the Thunder Whip and the Storm Army were basically the same.

It’s not that the combat effectiveness of the Storm Army is comparable to the Imperial Ace Thunder Whip. But the rebels of the Thunder Whip have fought fiercely for one night, rushing to the long street and fighting the Royal Guards, which is quite damaged. The Storm Army is a new force. At this moment, the two sides fought fiercely, but they only fought one by one, and in the end, the Storm Army had a great momentum of unsupportance. They were almost defeated by the counter-charge of the Thunder Whip. Several officers died in succession before they stabilized their positions.

And at this moment, another team rushed in outside the gate of the palace!

While the Storm Army was still confused, it heard the rushing team burst into a loud shout!
To be continued...
