After Li Cong’s plan was implemented, the entire southern empire was in panic, especially in the dozens of counties and cities in the southern region. People in every city felt very unclear about this behavior and did not know where these pirates came from. What are you going to do? They don’t know if they are the target of these pirates. If it is a wealthy county city, they will definitely rob, but in some poor county cities or even those with little oil and water, they still have to attack. In the Southern Empire A dozen counties and cities along the southern coast along the coast have all been attacked. I don’t know what their purpose is. Is it just to bring panic?

The emperor of the Southern Empire and the ministers didn't know what to do with this thing anymore, they didn't know how to do such a thing? Many ministers have proposed to send troops to the south, but what should they do when the troops actually pass by? These people are all working on the sea. Our troops are all on land. If you really fight with them, there is no advantage. Especially the people nowadays are very impulsive and they are very panic. If they are not restrained, this kind of panic will even spread to the entire empire and plunge the entire empire into a crisis. At this time, some changes have taken place in the northern border. At this time, the Southern Empire really couldn't settle down.

According to Li Cong’s orders, Tuoba Yuanye fought a huge defeat in the north. This defeat caused Li Cong’s army to retreat by fifty kilometers. The fifty-kilometer distance seems to be not much, but on the battlefield. Every meter of land is very precious, fifty kilometers can be said. After two or three months of fierce fighting, it may not be possible to fight, but Li retreated from himself. Originally, there were no more than 300,000 troops here. The southern imperial family did not understand what happened on the front line. ? They only know that the crisis may come out at this time. If it comes out, what should the Southern Empire, which is caught in internal and external troubles, do?

The blue empire's internal meeting was held again, and all the ministers were present in an unprecedented manner. No one wasted time in their own homes. They all felt that this matter might have some connections, but these clever ministers would never think of it. Things were actually done by one person, and they still know this person. And also very familiar. Now what they think is how to connect these things. Although everyone has a line in their heads, this line is not so easy to find. They didn't know what to say even today. The emperor did not speak when he saw everyone. Knowing that he can't be silent at this time, he must start this matter first.

"You guys, I believe everyone knows the recent events. Our empire has suffered major setbacks in both the north and the south, especially in the south. Although the north has become very severe, the situation there is still the same as that of our empire. There is not much connection, we can still sit back and relax with the Northern Empire in front of us, but what happened in the Yanhai area of ​​the Southern Empire is not so optimistic. What we have to discuss now is how to prevent these two places from continuing. If it deteriorates, you can say whatever good ideas you have. If you say something wrong today, you will be innocent today. If you don’t speak, there will be a problem. The empire needs you now and you should say your points."

Although His Majesty’s words are very nice, and if you make a mistake, you will not be held accountable for their mistakes, but everyone has their own scale in their hearts. They have been high officials for so long, and they know that they should be in the court. What kind of words should be said, what should be said, especially at this time, no one wants to become that early bird. Several first-rank ministers looked at them and did not say anything. It is because they also think this thing is very strange, even It can be said that I don’t understand this thing at all. I’ve never encountered something like this happening at the same time on both sides. It’s impossible to say that there is no connection, but it’s too far-fetched to say that there is a connection between the two sides. Did the people of the Empire bring troubles?

"The Prime Minister, you are highly respected. When you started with my father, you told me if something happened in the country? You can definitely show me a clear path. Now is the time. I hope that the Prime Minister can take what you think. Tell me, let me make a right path for the entire empire. If the Prime Minister doesn’t speak, I think our empire will really come to an end. Seeing that all the ministers don’t speak about the imperial emperor. Pointing to speak clearly, the first to be named is the prime minister, first-class duke, and the pillar of the Southern Empire.

The Prime Minister of the Southern Empire shook his head helplessly. He hadn't cares about things for decades, he just had a name, even though he was considered a big name in the entire empire when the emperor’s father was on the throne, but this one After the emperor ascended the throne, he did not put himself in the eyes at all. He thought that some of his views were very conservative, and even called himself the representative of the minister of the old in front of many people. If it were not because he had indeed contributed to the empire, he would also Cherish my reputation, maybe I was forced to sue my old man and return to my hometown a long time ago. I just came to the court to have a look. Basically, I didn’t have the opportunity to speak. It’s not because I didn’t want to speak. Give yourself this opportunity to speak. Now that you are in trouble, let yourself solve the trouble. How is this possible? It can only get Hu over this matter, and it will never offend anyone or come up with any ideas.

"His Majesty, the veteran, who has been recuperating at home all these years, is not as good as one day. I can't see clearly in recent days. If you want to ask me some questions about health, I can still answer. It’s a bit difficult when it comes to the country’s major affairs. I haven’t asked about political affairs for many years. If it’s a trivial matter, I can still give your Majesty some advice, but this matter is related to the future of our Southern Empire, so I can’t say that. If you say it wrong, it will affect the lives of hundreds of millions of people. This is not a joke." The prime minister hurried out and said that his body seemed to be unstable, and he was really an old man. . But absolutely nothing he said. The ministers around me don't even want to worry about such things by shaking their heads. What should they do? The prime minister is definitely an old slippery head, and he won't say anything in his heart at this time.

These few words seem to be ordinary, but they show the dissatisfaction of Cheng relative to the entire court. His Majesty also shook his head helplessly. He had offended others cruelly before. If he did not remember his father's words, if he could remember At this time, my father's words would not shirk or help me. They were all my own sins, and there was no reason for others. The prime minister can't force himself if he doesn't speak, what if he really forced this old official out? His reputation is over. His Majesty the Emperor let go of the prime minister in this way, and looked at the next person, who was the commander-in-chief of the imperial army.

"Taiwei, you can be regarded as an old man in the court. Something happened in the country at this time. I think you should have your own ideas. You can't say that you are old like the prime minister. Just leave things alone. You have specified the defense plan of the entire country for the past few years. Otherwise, your apprentices are implementing it. Now you should give me a satisfactory answer to make me feel at ease. I can’t sleep these days because of the north and south of the empire. Restless things have happened in both places. As the lieutenant in charge of the world’s soldiers and horses, you should give His Majesty an answer. If you can’t give it, you will be too incompetent."

His Majesty the Emperor came up and did not give Lord Taiwei a reason to escape. This is what everyone thinks. It is true that Lord Taiwei should answer this matter. He has sufficient qualifications, sufficient official posts, and human shrewdness. Enough, this kind of question is that if he doesn’t answer, he asks the next person and the next person doesn’t know how to answer. Instead of embarrassing yourself, you should come to the top. This is what all ministers are thinking now. I looked at Taiwei, hoping that Master Taiwei could solve this problem, so that they can continue to walk out of this hall, and then go to spend time and wine and enjoy. The officialdom of the Southern Empire has reached such a level. defeat.

Just like what the Emperor said, the lieutenant did not eat dry food these years. The lieutenant still knew very well about the defense plan of the southern empire in these years. Many of the plans were personally designated by him. Now he heard the emperor ask himself. Question, Master Taiwei tidyed up his clothes, and then all walked out of the ranks of ministers and stood in the middle of the hall. It seems that he has made some remarks.

"Returning to your Majesty about this matter, my subordinates have already thought about it. I just don’t know if I can do this. Please refer to your majesty with the help of the adults. I mean to send the Third Army Corps from the capital to the north. In the border area of ​​the border between the empires, let the Second Army go south and let them arrive in the southern coastal area to assist the local troops in defending the coastal area. Although these pirates have a strong offensive, they are also at sea and have very little time to land on land. As long as we can hold the land, they will not be able to bring many storms together at sea."

Although the words of Lord Taiwei cannot satisfy His Majesty the Emperor, compared with other ministers who only know how to keep their heads down and do not speak, these words of Lord Taiwei are already very good. At least, the Southern Empire now knows what to do. ? It’s definitely different from the untidy one before. The Southern Empire emperor patted his hand, and all the ministers were quiet. It seems that His Majesty is going to take the strategy of the Taiwei-sama, or that’s what it takes. It’s better than idle. If they are idle, their hearts are also disturbed. In this way, the two legions of nearly 20 million people will be divided into two places. They will definitely be able to do their own thing, especially against those pirates. They are all the most elite troops in the empire. They will definitely not fail against those pirates, but since the Taiwei has appeared, he will not end like this. The emperor has already spoken to praise Lord Taiwei, look. When the Taiwei continued to speak, the emperor swallowed his own words.

"Your Majesty, this is just one way to solve the problem, one way. Next, the subordinates still have something to say. This time the subordinates feel that it is not that simple. At least it should have a certain relationship with the Eastern Empire. The two battlefields seem to be disconnected from each other, but it is impossible for them to be disconnected from the perspective of time. According to subordinates’ speculation, the Eastern Empire’s shipping is very developed, and these pirates may be the Eastern Empire. The navy was dressed up. The reason they came here to make trouble was that we pulled our troops down from the north to the south. They relieved the pressure on their northern front. According to subordinates’ guess, this is entirely possible. The Eastern Empire has played this kind of tricks several times in history. The subordinates have studied this deeply. Therefore, I beg your Majesty, do not give up the support of the Cao’s Chamber of Commerce in the northern battlefield, and continue to increase it. Only they are The battlefield in the north is more vigorous, and our south can be more secure. Cao’s army has recently experienced a huge defeat. If we are to withdraw at this time, that guy Cao Ke will probably withdraw all the army back. At that time, our empire will be the moment of life and death, so now we have to concentrate on supporting the northern battlefield." His remarks made all the ministers look at him differently. It turns out that people have their own true abilities, which is fundamentally different from ours. People can make some constructive suggestions. Those of us only know pleasure. Eating, drinking and having fun, they all bowed their heads when they saw the Taiwei's eyes, but they were not ashamed of themselves. Instead, they didn't know what to say when they looked at the Taiwei's eyes. It's better not to look at it.

Some people don’t dare to look at Lord Taiwei, but some people dare to say that he is Lord Taiwei’s deadly opponent. He is Shangshu of the Ministry of War. Although the Shangshu of the Ministry of War is a subordinate of the Taiwei, two people basically come out at the same time. Hurr, the situation is very different from the situation of the two people. Shangshu of the Ministry of War is much older than the Taiwei, but he is now under the Taiwei. How can this be psychologically passed? After she listened to Taiwei’s suggestion, she also got some trouble talking. Everyone in the court knew that the two of them were at odds. If they didn’t move, they would start a verbal battle. See the Ministry of War. Shang Shu is about to go out. Everyone knows that there is a good show to watch at this time. Just watch them fight each other.

"Your Majesty, Master Tai Wei's views and subordinates also agree very much, but the subordinates also thought of another thing. We also made a plan before, that is, not to excessively assist Cao's business. If we continue If we help them, their power will expand indefinitely. So far, they are already among the top large forces in our country. If we continue to support them, it is very likely that we will end up in a situation where the tail will not fall. It's too late for us to regret it, just like the Thunder Gate now. Who knows if they will become the second Thunder Gate in the future?

Everyone was shocked by the words of Shangshu of the Ministry of War. These ministers are not just eating, drinking and having fun. They are also very concerned about the important affairs of the empire, especially related to their own lives. The Cao's family firm in recent years develop rapidly? It is obvious to all that the small business firm with the same little-known name has developed into a large multinational firm now. Some officials even helped Cao's commercial firm develop in the beginning, but now they absolutely bow their heads if they want them to do business. I beg them, they are no longer within their own control. They have a rebellious mentality in their hearts for someone who was not as good as themselves but is stronger than themselves. Many people choose to stand on the side of the Ministry of War .

"Your Majesty Qi, the subordinates of the Ministry of War are also justified, but this time is not the time for internal fighting. If we want to do this thing according to his statement, the northern front may be completely defeated. It’s impossible for the forces of the northern empires to resist the alliance between Raidenmen and the Eastern Empire. In my opinion, the war will come to our southern empire. The three empires were united. At the time of the Alliance, it was said that no empire could be held back if we want to advance and retreat together. Now, should our Southern Empire violate this covenant?" Master Tai Wei stood up and said, Master Tai Wei deserves to be Master Tai Wei. With such insight and a few words of effort, this matter has been raised to the height of the country. Now that the post is on the line, what else can this military official say? If you continue to talk, does it mean that the emperor's words are not counted? If the emperor has no credibility, how can this empire be confused? Does anyone dare to cooperate with them? How can there be friends and allies in the future?

I have to say that Lord Taiwei’s words just hit the psychology of most of the people present. They are all high-levels of the empire. The face of the empire is closely related to them, especially the emperor sitting above, his own. Face is the face of the empire. When the three empires discussed this matter, he also agreed. Now it seems to be a bit difficult for him to abandon his original vow. Lord Tai Wei glanced at His Majesty the Emperor and knew that his words were valid. During this round I have used victory. This kid is too tender to fight against himself. A guy like him can dismiss him with his eyes closed, and he wants to fight against himself.

The battle between Shang Shu of the Ministry of War and the Taiwei had been a long time. The two of them can be regarded as winning each other. However, it was the first time that the victory or defeat was directly decided in the court. The Ministry of War Shangshu absolutely did not want to fail like this. He saw that the current situation was not good for him, and he had to change this matter. Otherwise, those who followed him might all go to Taiwei's side. This is the political struggle. I don't want to fight, but if I don't fight, others may trample myself to death. Even his own living space may not be available. The Ministry of War Shangshu sorted out his clothes and stood up again. Everyone looked at him and wanted to know what he had to say?

"Your Majesty, the lieutenant's subordinates can't agree with you. Now the strength of Cao's House of Commercial Firms is in full swing. Even if they want to go out with your Majesty's current strength, it is not easy for them. We have done an investigation. The population under its control has reached 1% of the empire. Although it is only 1%, it is only a business organization. It is already a very remarkable percentage that it can reach this number. If they continue to develop, this number is still It will continue to expand, and it will be impossible to wait until your majesty you want to control, so I hope that your majesty will still think about this. According to subordinates, this defeat on the front seems to be intentional. For this reason, does this whole thing have something to do with Cao’s family firm? It’s not something to do with the Eastern Empire?" His words caused everyone to explode directly. How could this be possible? A small firm would have Such an ability? Isn't this a dream?

The current situation is that half of all people think that the Ministry of War Shangshu is crazy at this time. If there is no problem in the brain, they will not say such words. No matter how powerful a business organization is, it is a business organization, even if they are. Controlling 1% of the empire’s population, it is impossible to do anything important. This is directly related to its limitations. Anyone who has contacted Cao’s house knows that they are only developing in the business field, but in other fields. Basically, they have not done any development, that is, at this time their army only began to expand, and it cannot be said that the army can only say that I am the escort, and the number of their escorts is not very large now, in the entire empire. It's just the ratio of a drop of water to the sea. Most people here think that there is a problem with the mind of the Ministry of War.

"Hmph, Your Majesty, it seems that the subordinates don't need to continue talking about today's affairs. Some people here have affected his judgment because of these personal reasons. What he said is to live up to the entire empire. Responsibility, we are here to discuss the general policy of the entire empire, right? Some people have been hostile to their subordinates for his own reasons, and the subordinates did not seek any personal benefits for themselves, but Some people just can't see it." Taiwei said with a cold snort, and the Taiwei's words received a response from most people. Many people felt that the Department of War Shangshu had a problem with his mind at this time.

Everyone is thinking that even if you have any personal grievances with Taiwei, you shouldn’t say it at this time. Now we have many things to consider, and there are many things you have to consider. You and Taiwei are fighting at this time. Having trouble with the entire empire, there is really no overall view of the situation. At this moment, the allies of the Ministry of War Shangshu in the court felt that this guy was a little bit clueless.

In fact, fundamentally speaking, the relationship between the Shangshu of the Ministry of War and Taiwei is one thing. Another thing is that the filial piety of the Cao family firm has not been delivered. The Cao family firm has been developing in Nanjing for so many years, and people in the officialdom have also made friends. Many officials get a lot of benefits from them, but they don’t have the big and small officials. Many people don’t get too much benefit from Cao’s house. This is what Li Cong deliberately did, and he also knew this. The soldier is of no use to him, and it is unnecessary to have a good relationship with them. Li Cong’s idea is also very simple. A good relationship with Taiwei is equivalent to a good relationship with most of the people below. .

The number of people holding Li Cong's millions of silver every year in this room is definitely not a small number, and they seem to understand the root cause of the matter at this moment. Although they don't want to admit this matter, they also feel that this matter may really have something to do with Cao's firm. Can Cao's firm fall down? Of course it can’t. Let’s not say that the safety of the empire is still in the Cao’s family business. They say that they receive their own money every year. If there is no such big rich man, where would they go to get so much money? Everyone had their minds in their minds, and now they can only beat the Armed Forces Shangshu to death. If he is killed, no one will speak and no one will cut off his own money.

"Okay. I understand what you said. Now retreat to the court and let me be quiet for a while." After being an emperor for so many years, the emperor himself is also a human being. How can he not see that the court is not discussing his concern at all. Things. These ministers are concerned about the struggle for power. This kind of thing exists in every empire. Just see how the emperor’s psychological quality is? If you are angry about these things every day, maybe you can't be the emperor for a few days? I can be the emperor for so many and so long because I have a strong mental quality. Now the two groups will not make suggestions for the empire. What they think is how to attack each other and even some people will give the Cao family business. People whispered. This is the imperial court. You can't believe it all or don't believe it. These people are not doing things for nothing, nor are they doing things for the empire.

But they all have their own interests mixed in. Other things are not good compared to their own interests. Although Taiwei is an old courtier, they think more of themselves, and the Shangshu of the Ministry of War thinks even more. That's too much. He was thinking how to get the lieutenant down, and then it was his own. Anyway, who didn't want to be the first man in the military? Such a title makes people think about it and it is motivated. Naturally, it will not give up such a thing.

At this moment, Li Cong has already returned to his base. There is a reason why he came back so quickly, because he wants to build a tactical master here. This tactical master is Wu Zuoxi from the Western Empire. Wu Zuoxi is now an official. Now, the child has been shaken up in secret. It is absolutely impossible for him to go to the Western Empire if he wants to play his ambitions. He doesn’t want to help the ungrateful emperor at all. He is not helping Li Cong now. For the sake of his own future, he just has such a talent. It would be a pity if he didn’t publish the meeting. Now this guy is already the chief counselor of Cao’s house. With his understanding of current affairs and politics, Li will never The opportunities for detours are definitely much less.

"Mr. Wu, I haven’t seen you for many days. Don’t be unharmed. Mr. Wu is still the same as he is. He looks much more energetic. It seems that having his own son is different. To be honest, I didn’t realize this at first. Meaning, now I have it too. I remember that when I had my son, I felt like this." When Li Cong saw Wu Zuoxi, this guy was looking at his sandbox in his room, although It's relatively rough, but some large forces on the entire continent basically already exist.

"Hehe, it’s not the first time for me as a father. I have a few daughters, but to be honest, this son is different from a daughter. Everyone says something, and the daughter is his own treasure. , But the real situation is not like this. Many people are like me. Forget it, let’s not talk about my family affairs. When I came to you, I was forced by those ineffective guys. Here comes, I think you are doing a very good job of this thing, why? Has it been overwhelmed by the Southern Empire recently? You must know that your opponent is not from the Southern Empire. From my observation, your ultimate opponent It’s the Eastern Empire. This is the hardest bone to gnaw.” This old guy’s vision is really vicious, and in a few words he can tell what Li Cong’s thoughts are now. If such a person is not his own, every day You can't fall asleep at night, and Wu Zuoxi wasn't such a sharp-edged person before, but now the turtle is too long.

"I also really want to do something to the Eastern Empire, but my power in the Eastern Empire is too small, and I can't do anything I want to do. I want to do something with someone's cooperation. I feel angry, so I only Maybe it’s because of the Southern Empire.” Li Cong said helplessly. Although the Jia family of the Eastern Empire agreed to do the smuggling business with him, they couldn’t directly mention any conditions. It was something that came slowly. It is impossible to see results quickly.

"Hehe, you just can’t see it in the game. This Jia family is a very good chess piece. The news you give me should be your comprehensive news. You can do this, it’s better to try The relationship between the Jia family and the Linghu family is not very good. The Jia family is not monolithic. The most important thing now is that the Jia family is loyal to the royal family, but the next generation of the Linghu family is not loyal to the royal family. The Jia family can stab the news out. Then the Linghu family will have a good show." Wu Zuoxi is definitely a scheming guy, and he has calculated everything in the Eastern Empire in a few words. He must know that Linghu The fox family is with the royal family of the Eastern Empire, and the royal family of the Eastern Empire will definitely do something of its own upon receiving this news. If you do not act, you may not be able to face the people. But if you really bring these guys to justice. It is estimated that the Linghu family really began to alienate the royal family.

"This plan was definitely a good plan if it used to be, but it can't be carried out now. I still have one thing I didn't tell you. The next patriarch of the Linghu family of the Eastern Empire is in my hands. I'm going to The one who put this guy back into the spoiler is that I don’t know if this kid is really capable." Li Cong is very confident of Linghu, but this kid is a young man after all, and he has never seen many scenes. Yes, what he has to deal with is another big thing. If this is not handled well, his own big plan can be done...

"Why didn't your kid talk about this earlier? If that's the case, I think you can put this kid back, and don't let him go back now. What are you keeping? What new stuff you made on the northern border. But it is very useful, but you can say with your conscience, if Linghu Pinqiu rushes with an army of hundreds of millions, how long do you think your kid’s stuff can last?” Although Wu Zuoxi has never seen Li Cong’s Defense line, but he thinks it is impossible. As long as it is a defensive thing, someone will break them sooner or later. This is an absolute theorem.

"It is estimated that one year is no problem. I have not considered this number, because I am not very familiar with Linghu Pinqiu's style. I don't know what this guy really looks like in the city. Yes." Li Cong's answer surprised Wu Zuoxi a bit. Is this guy really that amazing? Linghu Pinqiu is recognized by all the empires. Such a person Wu Zuoxi would not be his opponent even if he was against him. Unexpectedly, Li Cong could resist this guy for a year. To be honest, before Linghu Pinqiu would definitely not push you to bring water when doing things. Things like this had already started before, but he was a few months late this time. Why? Isn't it the same as what they said because of insufficient preparation? This is impossible. The standing army of the Eastern Empire has many pairs.

"If your kid has this kind of ability, I think you should also do something to draw a salary." Wu Zuoxi said, touching his beard. Li Congzhen doesn't know what this guy is talking about, but it feels like it should be a lot of money. It's a great thing, if it's not so effective, I guess this guy won't tell him.

"I don't know what Mr. Wu said about the salary draw from the bottom of the tank?" Li Cong is also interested in this plan. This guy Wu Zuoxi is a tummy of bad water. If anyone does the right thing with this guy, it's just going to die. Now, this guy has a lot of ghost ideas in his mind.

"The so-called Forte Renewal is to fundamentally remove their advantages and use what we have to create trouble for them. What is the biggest bargaining chip we have? That is, the Linghu family and the Eastern Empire imperial family are actually the same family, but this There are not many people who know the news. If the people of the Eastern Empire knew about this, what would you think of the Linghu family? What would the royal family of the Eastern Empire think? Then how would their family do this kind of thing? This is what we need to dream about.” I have to say that Wu Zuoxi’s move is really very vicious. It can be predicted that if this news is announced, it will definitely plunge the Eastern Empire into a turmoil. At that time, the Linghu family There are only two options. Either clean your neck and let the Eastern Empire imperial family kill them, or rectify yourself and compete with the Eastern Empire imperial family. Regardless of the possibility, it is for Li Cong. It is very beneficial and can be seen immediately.

"No, although this method is the fastest method, there are many sequelae and things we did not expect. First of all, both of them are old families for many years. No matter which side they are, they have their own old people. The brotherhood among them is not something that can break them up in a few words. It’s not easy for us to do things. Besides, I think they will definitely have such an emergency plan. Maybe they will be after our news. It was easily solved by them. If this is the case, we might as well wait to use this to deter them. I want to play a role that is definitely better than just saying it, let’s talk about it. I feel that the Linghu in my hand is a person who does things. I don’t have to think of him as an abandoned son.” Li Cong thought of the guy Linghu and said, this kid is not ordinary, this guy has his own Thinking, if he could give him a chance, he would definitely be able to bring himself a lot of things.

"To be honest, you are the benevolence of a woman. At this time, I don't know what to say about you. What is wrong with being an emperor? You think you are concerned about the relationship between Linghu. How do you know that he will not betray you when he goes back? If this guy really betrayed you, if they didn’t have any emergency plans, but this guy went back and established it. At that time, when the Cao family suffers, when the time comes We really don't have any good solutions. We can only drag it down step by step as we do now. Do you really want to see this? I don't think you have any good achievements at the Thunder Gate, right? Frozen forest is not that easy to block, right? Even if you have the upper hand now, you will always have the upper hand in the future. When that happens, it will be too late." Wu Zuoxi said with a bit of heartache, this Li Cong It can be said that everything is good, but sometimes the heart is really not very good, and sometimes it is the biggest harm to the leader. I kindly reminded this kid, but it seems that his appearance is of little use. , This kid will not listen. (To be continued...)
