C93 A Man with Great Wisdom

In the study of Duke's Mansion, Duke Ronton casually sat on a chair. Kerry and De Cloning sat on his right, and on his left was a white old man in his eighties.

"Using the barbarians to fight the barbarians! What a deadly plan. I, Lindman, have been thinking hard about how to solve the situation in Silo Province. I never thought I would hear such a wonderful idea today!" After a long time, the first one to speak was the old man called Lindman.

"Sir, what do you have in mind?" Ronton's tone was surprisingly respectful.

Kerry and the clone turned to look at him at the same time. Obviously, they looked the same as Ronton.

"Oh, right, archduke. . . " Lindman gently stroked his long beard. After thinking for a while, he turned to Ronton and said, "Why haven't I seen Smith go to my place these few days?"

Ronton's expression changed slightly, and then he coughed unnaturally. "This child has made a mistake recently, so I let him shut himself in for a few days to reflect on his mistakes. Sigh!" At the end of his words, Ronton helplessly sighed, a trace of worry flashed across his face.

Lindman nodded and did not continue to ask what mistakes Smith had made.

"En, regarding the matter of allowing Lower Race to serve in the army, I wonder what the two of you think?" At the end of his words, Lindman turned his head to look at Kerry and De Cloning.

Kerry and De Cloning looked at each other and whispered, "I thought about what young master Lee Xiang said just now. Although there is some risk, I can still give it a try. . . "

"That's right!" De Cloning nodded in agreement. . . . "No matter what, the benefits of this matter outweigh the disadvantages. I believe that even the Empire will support your idea! Moreover, the situation in Silo Province is different from other provinces. Special circumstances require special treatment. I agree with Chief Kerry's opinion on this point! "

Ronton nodded, turned to Lindman and said in a low voice: "What do you think, sir?"

"It is a good idea! Not only will it kill two birds with one stone, but it will also bring many indirect benefits! Compared to those small problems, These questions were not a problem at all! But. . . "Lindman nodded, but his expression was very complicated. " But the thoughts of the person who thought of this method is really hard to figure out. . . "

Ronton was slightly stunned. He responded with a question without batting an eyelid. "Sir, are you worried that this grandson of mine has ulterior motives?"

"That's not entirely true!" Lindman shook his head. "It's just that your grandson's meticulous thinking really makes me feel a little afraid, but as for exactly where I'm afraid, I can't explain myself. I haven't felt this way in many years!"

Ronton and the other two were stunned. It was obvious that Lindman's words sounded a little serious. However, what surprised them even more was that even Lindman, who was known as the number one sage in the empire, could not guess Lee Xiang's intention. It showed that their concerns were not unreasonable.

Lindman continued, "But there is one thing that can prove that this child's idea is at least in consideration of you, Grand Duke. Otherwise, he would definitely not have come up with such a plan to use the barbarians to control the barbarians. After all, he himself is also a yellow person. As for whether he has any ulterior motives in private, I am not sure. But we can prove it. . . And it will be very easy to prove it!"

" How can we prove it? " Ronton asked.

Lindman smiled. He did not answer Ronton immediately. Instead, he turned to look at Kerry and De Cloning, who had been sitting there. "Can you two please leave? Duke and I have some private matters to discuss. . . " Kerry and De Cloning were shocked for a moment. Then they remembered the importance of this person in Duke's heart. They got up quickly, bowed, and left.

After confirming that the two of them had left, Lindman sighed slightly. "If I remember correctly, these two have been following you for twenty years, right?"

Ronton was stunned. He could not figure out why he would suddenly ask such a question, but he still nodded.

Lindman sighed again. "Time flies. When they first came here, I remember that they were still in charge of protecting Smith. Every day, they escorted Smith to my place to study. I didn't expect that it would pass in the blink of an eye. . . "

"It seems like you have a lot of feelings today, sir. " Ronton also had a lot of feelings. Although Lindman was not a person of Duke's Mansion on the surface, he had always been the one to do whatever big things he encountered. Even the riot and the adoption of Lee Xiang were his suggestions.

Lindman smiled. "I do feel a lot about it. I just heard that the archduke imprisoned Smith. Then, because of Lee Xiang, this child, I was really moved. Haha. But honestly speaking, for Smith, I am very ashamed that I was unable to teach him to satisfy the archduke. I am truly ashamed of the archduke's trust in me for decades. Sigh. . . I have failed as a teacher. . . "

"Sir, please don't say that. . . You are the publicly acknowledged sage of the entire continent. If even you can't train you. . . I really can't think of anyone else who can train you. . . " Ronton hurriedly explained. Lindman shook his head and stopped him before he could finish his sentence.

"What sage? It's just a false flattery from others. It's really nothing. But to be honest, this grandson adopted by the archduke has aroused my great interest. . . "

Ronton nodded. To be honest, he also admitted that Lee Xiang was indeed very smart. Even his intelligence was a little scary. "What does Sir think of him? Can I completely trust him?"

Lindman nodded and smiled. "Can I trust him completely? To be honest, I can't answer this question right now because I still can't figure out what this child is thinking. As for what kind of person this child is, well, if I can train him well, He might become the first Lower Race to be used by the Empire. Furthermore, with his intelligence and intelligence, he will definitely be of great help to the empire. Of course, this is only a possibility. After all, he had always been a Lower Race. This meant that he would encounter many obstacles! And if he took a path that he should not have taken. . . "At this point, a complicated look flashed across Lindman's face. . . . "The consequences are hard to say!"

Ronton paused for a moment and then smiled bitterly. "Is it a little serious, sir? This child was a little smart. But. . . "

Lindman laughed. " It's best not to be like this. I also hope not to be like this! But according to the archduke's introduction, I can confirm that this child is not just a clever person, but a person with great wisdom! Just by pointing out the reason why the archduke adopted him here today, this is not something an ordinary person can do. Based on my guess, he should be testing me? Of course, this guess might not be accurate. There is another point. I am sure that this child had a thorough understanding of this place before coming to Silo Province. There is no doubt about it. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain the situation here so clearly. This isn't like a child who is under house arrest. It was like a person who had decades of experience traveling. It was obvious that he liked to be eccentric. If he was not extremely confident, he would not casually reveal what he was thinking. This happens to be a necessary factor for a person who does great things. . . I think you should be able to notice this, Grand Duke! "

Ronton was silent for a while. To be honest, Lee Xiang's intelligence made him very uneasy, but he unconsciously felt a little repulsed by it. After a moment of silence, Ronton changed the topic. "By the way, you did not tell me how to prove whether Lee Xiang was selfish or not. "

Lindman smiled and did not answer. Instead, he asked. "As far as I know, Duke, it seems that some people in your private army retire every year, right? Since that's the case, why don't you follow Lee Xiang's instructions and conscript Lower Race for military service? Then, specially organize one or two divisions with a small number of people. . . "

Ronton nodded. To be honest, he was thinking the same thing. After all, this was a brilliant idea. He had no reason to refuse.

"It's best to build this division as soon as possible and make use of it!" Lindman nodded. "As for the high-ranking military officer in the middle, you can consider it. But as the commander of this division, I suggest you ask Lee Xiang for his opinion easily. Let's see if he is willing to be the commander of the first Lower Race in the history of this empire. "

Ronton was slightly stunned. To be honest, he had considered many candidates. However, he had never thought of Lee Xiang. First of all, he had never thought about what Lee Xiang meant. Secondly, Lee Xiang was not very old. He was not experienced enough. Furthermore, although he did not have many people in a division, he did not have many people. However, it was not a small number. However, when Ronton saw Lindman's meaningful smile, he immediately understood what he meant. This was a good opportunity to test whether Lee Xiang had any selfish motives.

"What if he is willing?" Ronton asked nervously. To be honest, he asked himself. Strictly speaking, he was a very experienced politician. However, this problem involved his woman's son, so he felt a little uneasy.

Lindman had a complicated look on his face. After a long silence, he sighed and said: "Actually, I hope that he will agree readily. If he refuses, it will be even more complicated. . . "

Ronton felt sad in his heart, although he did not understand what Lindman meant at the beginning. But after so many years of experience, he immediately understood Lindman's worries.

It was a very simple reason. If Lee really agreed to it when he thought of it, This only proved that he had his own selfish motives. In this way, the problem was very simple. After all, his feelings could be understood. Because he had always been a Lower Race, no matter how good Ronton was to him. He had to leave some leeway for his funeral. After all, in the future, Smith was the one who had the final say in Silo Province. Therefore, Ronton could forgive his selfishness. After all, Smith had indeed done something he shouldn't have done to Lee Xiang, although Lee Xiang might not know about it. He took a step back and thought about his daughter's parting words. A deep pity for Lee Xiang suddenly emerged in his heart. A child who had just become an adult. He had to make long-term arrangements for his future matters, although his thoughts were a little scary. But it's understandable. Sigh, he couldn't blame others for this. He could only blame himself for not being born into such a family.

But if he wasn't willing, then the problem would be much more complicated!

This proved that Lee Xiang was deliberately retreating in order to advance. There was even a possibility that he wanted to use this to obtain greater benefits! Or rather, one or two Lower Race commanders were not his ultimate goal!

Ronton was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, are you thinking too complicated? This child might not be that bad, right? "

Lindman sighed slightly. "Maybe I really think too much. I hope it is not like what I think. Sigh, I heard that the people from the Church looked for him today. It seems that this child really has a lot of people thinking about him. . . "

"That's understandable. After all, the Church is thinking about this place. It's not like it's been a day or two. If we can think of a way, they will naturally be able to think of it too! " Ronton's expression was very ugly.

"So find an opportunity for me to meet this child. Maybe I can confirm today's guess?" Lindman turned his head to look at Ronton. His pair of blurry old eyes suddenly lit up, and his sparkling forehead suddenly shone with the light of wisdom.

Ronton smiled bitterly and nodded. "What should I do if you have confirmed this matter?"

"If that is the case, then it is very simple. Either you send him away immediately! Or you keep him and treat him well. The most important thing is to let Smith treat him well, because in the future, when you are not around, he will definitely help Smith overcome many difficulties! " Lindman answered without hesitation.

Ronton smiled helplessly and bitterly. Many years ago, Lindman had warned him that Smith could only be a general. He could not be a commander. However, he had always been willing to believe it. However, ever since he found out that Smith had secretly tried to assassinate Lee Xiang behind his back, he immediately understood why Lindman had said that. A man who didn't even have such foresight didn't have the qualifications to become the next master of Silo Province. But he had no other choice. Could it be that he could only watch helplessly as this place, which had been struggling for thousands of years for generations, was lost just like that? Then, he would definitely become a sinner of Ronton family.

"In short, the archduke can hold onto a principle. Regardless of whether it's true or not, if such a smart person can control him, then he can boldly use it and carefully defend. If you can't control it. . . Then he could only. . . Bear the pain and cut off his love! Because if he stayed here, he would sooner or later become a huge threat to Silo Province, or even the entire empire.

It's a pity that such a talent is a pity. . . " At the end of his words, a hint of determination flashed across Lindman's face. "Of course. We still need to wait for us to verify this matter. It's too early to say all of this now! I hope it's not like what I imagined! "Ronton felt bitter in his heart. He kept shaking his head and smiling bitterly. Now, he could only do so temporarily.
