Chapter 186 Information
Viscount Pilardo in the living room was already fidgeting at this moment, with annoyed expression on his face.

If the mood when waiting just now was anxious and apprehensive, then there is only fear and regret in the viscount's heart now.

Recalling his performance just now, Viscount Pilardo really wanted to slap himself.

Too impatient, too impatient!

As soon as the question came out of his mouth, Viscount Pilardo knew it was going to be bad.Looking at the expression of the young man named Anthony, and seeing the idiot-like reaction of the guards on the side, the Viscount immediately realized that he was wrong, and it might be very wrong.

Anthony is a popular person in front of Her Royal Highness, if I offend him, the days to come will be terrible.

Viscount Bilardo is having a hard time now, and it can even be said that he is facing a major crisis.This is also the root cause of his impatience.

The Glorious Empire is currently in a turbulent situation, and the binding force of laws and rules is much weaker than usual.If the hostile family relies on its own strength to do something out of the ordinary, no one may be willing to act righteously to stop it.Even after the incident happened, the Grand Duke's Mansion was not necessarily willing to spend manpower and energy to investigate it strictly.

It can be said that the situation facing Viscount Bilardo is even more severe than that of the Glorious Empire.He urgently needs to find a strong backer, a thick and powerful thigh.

However, the upper-level power structure of the Hannover Province has been basically stable, and no one wants to fight his opponent for him.Besides, all the nobles' minds are focused on the position between the two empires, who has the time to talk to him, a small viscount family.

Just when he could only close his eyes and wait for death in panic, God finally left him with a ray of hope.

Her Royal Highness is here!
This is his best chance and the only turning point for things, he must hurry up.

When Her Royal Highness the Princess visited various families, Viscount Pilardo had already expressed his wishes urgently.Princess Yalena also readily accepted his allegiance.

Things got off to a good start, but it wasn't enough.The viscount knew very well that this relationship was not solid.

He had to do something to let Her Royal Highness see his ability, so as to increase his weight in His Highness's heart.

This time, Viscount Pilardo came here in a hurry, bringing important information, and he had the idea of ​​asking the eldest princess for credit.Unexpectedly, he didn't even see the face of the princess.Under the anxiety, I couldn't control it for a while, and lost my composure.

The viscount was indeed out of news, and he was so focused on the safety of his own family that he didn't even know Anthony.

Anyone with a little bit of energy in their eyes knows that the reception by Anthony himself may not be as good as Princess Yalena in terms of specifications, but this is the real posture of talking about things, and it is a sign of importance.If only Princess Yalena came forward, no matter what was discussed, there might not be a definite result in the end.Because she still needs to discuss and confirm with Anthony.

Moreover, with Anthony's martial arts practice comparable to that of a golden fighter, his influence may not be worse than that of the eldest princess, and no one would think that he was underestimated because of this—except Viscount Pilardo, who was confused about the situation. green.

There was a sound of footsteps, and the viscount almost jumped up as if he was electrocuted.

Eldest Princess Yalina went first, followed by Anthony who was going back and forth on one side, and "Azure Sword Master" Caton on the other side.

Viscount Pilardo put aside his other thoughts for the time being, stood up quickly and was about to salute to Her Highness the Princess.

But a low voice interrupted his movements.

"You are Viscount Pilardo?"

Viscount Pilardo was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that it was the Juggernaut Caton who was asking the question, and quickly replied: "Yes, Master Juggernaut."

"Azure Juggernaut" is a veteran strongman who has grown up for many years, and the Viscount is not so closed to the extent that even he doesn't know about it.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Caton Juggernaut carefully looked at him from top to bottom, from left to right, as if he wanted to find out some secrets from him.While watching, he nodded.

"Not bad."

Viscount Pilardo didn't know why, he didn't know what Caton Juggernaut meant by "good", so he could only smile carefully.Anthony smiled helplessly on the side.

Princess Yalena sat down at the round table first, and waved casually to the Viscount.

"sit down!"

The voice was cold, completely different from the gentle enthusiasm when the two sides met for the first time.

Viscount Pilardo was taken aback again.

After being interrupted by the Caton Juggernaut, he still hasn't saluted the princess yet!
Anthony sat down beside Yalena, reached out and patted the back of her hand twice.

Of course he understood that the girl was venting her anger for herself!
Viscount Pilardo sat down slowly with his body bowed, and the corner of his eyes glanced at the intimate movements of the two, as if he understood something, and couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.

Yalena calmed down the anger in her heart a little, and asked in a gentle tone as much as possible: "Viscount Pilardo visited late at night, I don't know why?"

The voice was still flat, but it was less cold than before.

Viscount Pilardo didn't dare to be negligent, and he stopped going around in circles, and directly explained his intentions.

"I want to report to Your Highness, I have inquired about an important piece of news about the bandits in the western mountains that His Highness is going to send troops to exterminate. Since the matter is of great importance and has many ties to the local forces, I dare not delay, and I dare not report to you casually." Someone revealed it, so hurry up and report to His Highness."

The viscount is not really stupid, he not only pointed out the purpose of the speech, but also implicitly expressed his merits, and explained that because "the matter is of great importance and involves a lot", he must report to Princess Yalena in person, and it is not that he looks down on receiving him. Anthony.

"Oh."

Princess Yalina responded in a flat tone, and then there was no further text.

Lord Viscount looked eagerly at His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, wondering if he should continue talking.The scene in front of him was completely different from what he had expected.

Anthony shook his head helplessly.

Once a woman loses her temper, it's really not that easy to calm down completely.Even for a pure and lovely girl like Yalena, it's the same.

"Could your lord Viscount go into more detail?"

There was no other way, so Anthony had no choice but to take the initiative to continue the conversation.

Viscount Pilardo looked at Anthony with gratitude in his eyes, which could be regarded as revenge with virtue.Don't hesitate any longer, tell everything completely.

"It's like this. The so-called powerful bandits in the western mountains and forests are actually non-existent. They are deceptive tricks fabricated by some nobles with ulterior motives. Our family has lived in the province of Hanover for generations, but we have never heard of such a bandit." A powerful bandit. Knowing that Her Highness the Princess is going to suppress the bandits, I was puzzled, so I deliberately inquired about it. Finally, I found out that several big families in Hanover have joined forces to pretend to be bandits with their private soldiers, planning to plot against Her Highness the Princess..."

He is very eloquent and has a talent for being a storyteller.The intrigues and sinister intentions of several big families, and the thrilling process of his inquiring for news, are all vividly displayed in the vivid description.

Anthony is a competent listener, and he was attentive throughout the whole process, listening to him attentively.From time to time, he would give out one or two praises, or a just right question, so that he would not perform a boring one-man show.

And Her Royal Highness held her cheeks in both hands, and looked straight out of the door, with a look of fugue.Viscount Bilardo's words showed a very obvious "I'm not interested" attitude.

Not to mention the Caton Juggernaut, he even closed his eyes.I don't know if I am practicing or dozing off.

In contrast, Anthony's attitude is too commendable.

While feeling ashamed, Viscount Bilardo discovered something unexpectedly.

The teenager's question after question was not just for fun.Because he asked every question to the point, and there were even some points that he hadn't noticed before. After his questioning, he suddenly realized that he had overlooked some very important points.

For example, which nobles were involved, the number of troops dispatched by each, the composition of the troops, which general was in command, the general's abilities, personality characteristics, and so on.

You must know that Lord Viscount put a lot of effort into inquiring about this news in order to claim credit.Not only did he use all the available resources and contacts to the limit, but he also owed a lot of debts of favor.After summarizing and summarizing, I pondered over and over again for a long time, and went through all the information in my mind countless times to confirm that every part and every link is clear and clear, and I can answer every question, and then I set off to come. .

Unexpectedly, Anthony only listened to his dictation once, and he had already grasped the context of the whole matter, and even discovered some key points that he had missed.

This kind of reaction speed, this kind of ability of summarizing, Viscount Bilardo can only feel inferior, and is willing to bow down.

It seems that Anthony came forward to receive him at the beginning, not because His Royal Highness was putting on airs or looking down on him, but because this young man was in charge of all matters in this regard.

Let’s see, Princess Yalina and Caton Juggernaut are the setting boards for the whole process, and Anthony is mainly talking about the matter. Judging from their attitudes towards themselves, they may not be willing to be the setting boards. I’m afraid it’s because of Anthony’s intercession. .

If I knew this earlier, why did I come here just now!Left and right also discussed with Anthony, and offended everyone for nothing.

"Okay, we have understood the situation. Is there anything else you want to add, Lord Viscount?"

One is well prepared, the other is quick-witted, and the conversation is completed with great efficiency.Anthony waited for Viscount Pilardo to finish speaking, and finally confirmed.

Viscount Pilardo lowered his head and pondered for a moment, finally shaking his head after a while.Everything that needs to be said has been said, and even some minor details that I hadn't noticed before, were all taken out under Anthony's questioning reminder.As for the ones that cannot be answered, there is nothing to be done, but there is nothing to add.

"Thank you, Lord Viscount."

Anthony nodded with a slight smile, and picked up the teacup in front of him.

This is the meaning of serving tea to see off guests.

Viscount Pilardo was naturally interested, and hurriedly got up to leave.Under Anthony's warm welcome, he walked away with mixed feelings.

As soon as Anthony turned his head, he saw Yalena yawned indistinctly, her movements were natural and cute.

"Heh~ I'm finally leaving."

Anthony returned to the table and sat down, shaking his head helplessly.

"In any case, people are enthusiastic."

Yalena has a lively personality and an extremely gentle temper. She seldom blushes when she gets angry with anyone, let alone when talking about serious business.He deliberately showed Viscount Pilardo's face so deliberately because he felt very annoyed that the other party underestimated him.Anthony is very clear about the girl's mind, and there is a slight touch in his heart.

The Azure Sword Saint also interjected: "He doesn't know about our plan, otherwise, he wouldn't be so excited to report the news. But you kid not only listened to his nonsense all night, but also cooperated so much, It’s hard for you to have the patience.”

Anthony chuckled: "How can you say it's nonsense? The same thing, viewed from different angles, can always be seen a little differently. Wouldn't it be great if we could pick up the missing pieces and make the plan more perfect."

The Azure Sword Master waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I won't tell you anymore, anyway, you are always right."

Yalena giggled from the sidelines.
