Startled suddenly.
Kroff couldn't help but froze on the spot, never expecting that the man in front of him had such a huge appetite.
"this......"
He was briefly stunned.
Croft shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I have to say, you really think highly of me."
He raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.
Kroof muttered: "With the authority in my hands, it is simply impossible to help you do this. That is something that only His Majesty the King and the important ministers around him are qualified to talk about."
A cold smile.
Of course Xue Yun knew this very well.
However, as the saying goes, it's a show and a trap - this is exactly what he wants!
"I see."
He picked up the wine glass and took another sip of the extremely spicy liquor.
Xue Yun looked calm and said with great interest: "With your current power, Commander-in-Chief, it is indeed a bit overwhelming, but you can introduce me to someone who can make the decision."
"After all, there are people in the court who can do things easily..."
Shrugging his shoulders.
Xue Yun grinned and continued: "Over the years, your qualifications and connections are not false. As long as you can help me introduce someone who can make the decision, I guarantee that I will still fund the financial expenditure of "Fredericksburg". "
Hear the words.
Kroff was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering, and he seemed to be a little hesitant.
It took a long time to prepare.
This is what Xue Yun has been waiting for.
Hundreds of thousands of troops are dormant along the border, and Sergei must be hiding in this area.
As an administrator, Croft's fundamental duty is to raise military expenses for the army, so how could he not know where the other party is now? !
Once Crovelly becomes obsessed with desire and settles for the petty gain in front of him, he is very likely to fall into his own trap.
"How about this."
Seeing that the other party's brows had not yet spoken, he seemed to be quite doubtful.
Xue Yun immediately struck while the iron was hot, took out some magnetic gold ore from the system space again, and pushed it in front of Kroff together with the ones just now.
"These magnetic gold ores are regarded as a deposit for you to do something. You should collect them first. At least they can temporarily alleviate the urgent needs of "Fredericksburg"."
A large amount of magnetic gold flashed out, almost blinding Kroff's eyes in an instant.
He clenched his fists tightly, as if he had made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Kroff took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Speaking of which, there is indeed a big man who can talk, who happens to be on the border of the principality."
Damn it, I finally took the bait!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Xue Yun pretended to be shocked, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Is there such a thing, but I don't know which big shot in your country it is. How could he appear near the border?"
"This...it's not convenient to talk about it."
With his remaining sanity, Jean Croft did not tell everything.
But he gritted his teeth and said with gloomy eyes: "I can go and recommend you. As for whether that adult is willing to meet you, it depends on luck."
no doubt--
The big shot that Klov was talking about was 100% Duke Sergei who was leading the troops.
The target person has almost been identified, and the next thing to do is to wait for the opportunity.
"make a deal."
Still maintaining the most basic calmness.
Xue Yun smiled slightly and asked: "I would like to ask, when can you give me an answer?"
"not sure......"
A bitter smile.
Kroff said helplessly: "Even for me, it is very difficult to ask to see that adult. I can only say that I will do my best."
There was silence for a long time.
Xue Yun stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, knowing clearly that this guy was not lying.
Come to think of it, as long as Sergey was not an idiot, he would never reveal his location easily.
Unless they are close associates, the administrators of satellite towns like Croft are nothing more than leeks to raise military funds for them.
"That's fine."
Get up silently.
Xue Yun swept across the table, and the magnetic gold ore that was sparkling just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"It's getting late. Since you can't give me a promise, there's no need for me to continue to bother you."
Seeing the bright magnetic gold ore suddenly disappear.
Croft's expression became extremely disappointed, almost visible to the naked eye.
Xue Yun is not a fool, and he is not easily deceived by Croft.
It's not that he is reluctant to part with such a small amount of capital, but it's just that before the matter is done, he must first starve the other party. Only in this way will Croft do things for him with all his heart.
Otherwise, it is very likely that he will lose his wife and lose his troops.
"So, Chief Croft."
He gave a very gentlemanly salute.
Xue Yun said goodbye calmly and calmly: "Thank you for your hospitality. I'll take my leave."
"Wait a moment!"
He suddenly slapped the case and stood up.
Kroff's forehead was covered with sweat. After pondering for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said: "Three days, give me three days..."
"I will definitely give you an accurate answer within three days, how about that?!"
Staring back at Croft.
Xue Yun's eyes were sharp, and with a faint smile, he threw out a small magnetic gold ore.
"It's a deal."
The other party caught the ore and immediately put it into his pocket without hesitation.
"During this period, my people and I will temporarily stay in Mr. Angele's house. If there is any good news, please contact me as soon as possible."
Without looking back, he walked towards the three subordinates who were waiting at the banquet.
Xue Yun muttered: "You must remember that I will only stay at Fredericksburg for three days. I will not wait if I am overdue."
Watching Xue Yun and others slowly leave, the carnival in the mansion courtyard continued.
Kroff was stunned for a long time, and finally sat down, his whole body already dripping with sweat.
"Three days...that's putting it lightly."
He raised his hand and rubbed his slightly messy blond hair.
Kroff murmured to himself: "I finally met a rich man who can solve the financial crisis of 'Fredericksburg' once and for all. However, how do I know the whereabouts of Duke Sergei?"
A moment of distraught.
Kroff simply took advantage of the situation and picked up a whole bottle of liquor, raised his head and took a swig crazily.
At this moment.
A servant suddenly came behind him and whispered a few words in his ear respectfully.
"What?!"
He quickly put down the bottle of wine.
Croft's face turned red, and when he turned around, he asked with astonishment on his face: "Who did you just say was outside the city?!"
"Say yes, Prince Sergei..."
The lowly servant lowered his head, not daring to raise his head easily, and said solemnly: "I heard that there were dozens of night watchmen accompanying me. The sentry on the tower couldn't make up my mind, so I called you overnight to ask you. Do you want to let him enter the city?"
Eyes widened.
Kroff was confused for a moment. After a while, he stood up suddenly and showed a long-lost smile.
