But we had worked well together before, so why would we use this method if we couldn't talk about anything?
Lai Gouer is not such a person, right?
Hope has completely lost his sense of proportion and has no idea what Lai Gouer is going to do.
Lai Gouer said: "Brother Hope, you and I should both know some things, but you don't want to say them, right?"
"What don't I want to say?" Hope swallowed.
"Dajing's goods sell well in the West, but for such a big piece of fat, the church can't get any benefit from it." Lai Gou'er said slowly, "With the greedy nature of the church, they will take action sooner or later. In fact, They have already sent people to look for me.”
"If I'm not wrong, you are selling Dajing's goods. Someone in the Holy City has already started to investigate you, right? I guess you should have settled it temporarily through your relationship."
Hope gritted his teeth: "Yes, but we had a private deal, and the church also found you. I have nothing to betray you, so why did you treat me like this!"
"How long can you settle it?" Lai Gou'er asked, "I'm afraid it won't last for a few months at most. Will our business be cut off in a few months?"
"Coupled with Father Solje's independent development in Feka, it is not difficult to connect the priest with Dajing. The conflict between Dajing and the church has been building up and will explode one day."
"Now the situation has reached a very tense situation. Even the Duke of Alves has hinted, intentionally or unintentionally, that I should take the initiative to negotiate with the church."
"Everything you said is right, but you can negotiate head-on with the church! I can still be your agent and even help you fight for your interests... What's the use of tormenting me like this?" Hope screamed injustice.
Lai Gouer chuckled: "I think you forgot one thing."
"I am not a pure businessman. There is a powerful country behind me."
"The church lion wants to take most of the profits, which is unacceptable to me, Dajing. And the moment the church makes excessive demands, it will forever lose the qualification to negotiate with me, Dajing."
"Right now, the only thing Da Jing wants to do is to wait for the church to start a war, then we can destroy it and then continue doing business. It's that simple."
"And you, my friend, you have been to the temple. I need you to draw me the interior of the temple. When the war is over, you will be my hero. You can live an upright life, and even let you get It’s not impossible to get an official position, and I guarantee that you will still have a share of Dajing’s overseas business!”
Hope's eyes rolled wildly, and his face was already full of panic.
war! What Da Jing wants is war! ?
This was something he never expected.
How dare a country thousands of miles away dare to wage war against the church!
And according to Lai Gouer... it seems that he wants to take the Holy City directly, otherwise what is the use of having the internal map of the temple?
"You are crazy! Your country is crazy. Who gave you the courage to attack the church? How many troops and supplies do you have?" Hope asked loudly, "I tell you, this is nonsense! You may have no rivals in the East, but this is church!"
Lai Gouer laughed loudly, and then said with an extremely arrogant expression: "Brother Hope, you will understand when the war starts."
"There is only one word in my Dajing's dictionary, and that is, win~!"
"When the war is over, there will be only one word left in the church's dictionary, and that is, submit~"
Hope closed her eyes in pain, cursing in her heart.
Damn Da Jingren, where do you get such confidence?
Just as he was thinking about countermeasures, Lai Gouer said loudly: "Everyone, please come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen soldiers pushed open the door and entered.
Lai Gouer carefully handed the gramophone into the hands of the soldiers and said: "Guard it heavily and don't touch it. Then go to the palace to inform the Duke of Alves that I have a very important matter to discuss with him privately today." , let him come to me alone."
"Yes!" the soldier responded, holding the gramophone and leaving.
Lai Gouer took the pen and paper from the bookcase on the side, swept away the food and drinks on the table, and spread the pen and paper on the table.
He stood up, slowly put his hands on his hips, looked at Hope and said, "Brother Hope, don't blame me for being unkind, I'm giving you a huge fortune, just draw it."
Hope gritted her teeth and finally shook her head violently.
Painting means death! The lifeblood was given to others.
If he didn't paint, he could still bet on Lai Gouer's character... until the church sent someone to negotiate, what if there was still room for change?
Seeing his complete lack of cooperation, Lai Gouer sighed.
"I know what you are thinking. War is indeed not an easy thing, but the opponents the church faces this time are different from before."
Hope was about to look up and ask.
Lai Gouer pulled out a strange-shaped iron lump from his waist and pointed it at the vase in the room.
Just hear a bang...the vase exploded.
A wisp of green smoke slowly rose from the top of the iron lump.
Hope opened her mouth and said nonchalantly: "What is that?"
Lai Gou'er said calmly: "You can think of a weapon as a bow and arrow. But this kind of weapon can be used by just moving your fingers, and its power can even penetrate armor. Any untrained person can use it. Can easily kill several well-trained elite soldiers."
"My army in Da Jing is equipped with exactly this kind of weapon. So do you understand...how huge the gap in strength is?"
"We, Dajing, are a peace-loving country, and we only come here for cooperation. We will have to fight in the future. Dajing hopes to directly capture the Holy City and support Father Sorje to ascend to power. This will also allow more civilians to survive and maintain their lives. Safe.”
After Lai Gouer finished speaking, he reversed the muzzle of the gun and threw the revolver directly to Hope.
Hope instinctively reached out to take it, and caressed the gun body twice.
He had seen the power of this thing just now. The sound was like thunder, like a divine punishment coming.
There was no weapon in his past memories that could compare with the thing in his hand.
Small and exquisite, easy to carry.
If Da Jing's army is really equipped with such weapons... then maybe the church will be hard-pressed to match...
Hope's thoughts raced.
After regaining consciousness, he immediately raised the gun and placed his finger on the trigger as if he was a self-taught person.
Pointing at Lai Gouer, he warned: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?!"
Lai Gou'er didn't panic at all, and said with a smile: "You are a smart man, and there is no point in killing me."
"This is the strategy set by Da Jing. I am just an ordinary general. If you kill me, someone will replace me. And you, your family and the church will suffer double the revenge from Da Jing."
"Brother Hope, you have two choices now. One is to kill me, and the other is to cooperate with me to draw the picture. We are friends. I will give you a chance to choose as an apology for the injustice I just did to you. ,please."
