As Chuck said this, the room fell silent for a moment.

It was a memory that Chuck could never forget for the rest of his life, and Yang Xiaotian was shocked that people could do such crazy things for the sake of power.

Although looking at history, the brothers of those imperial families, and even fathers and sons, can fight each other like enemies. Yang Xiaotian didn't believe it.

After all, that kind of thing is too far away from Yang Xiaotian. Even though he was kicked out by the family, Yang Xiaotian was able to receive a not small amount of money every year before he was eighteen years old to use as tuition and living expenses.

And Yang Xiaohai's idiot brother, although he shouted how much he hated him all day long, the most important thing was to make Yang Xiaotian obediently listen to him and treat him as a patriarch.

Compared with the three Chuck brothers, Yang Xiaotian instantly felt that his life was actually quite good.

Most people's happiness is based on the pain of others. There is no harm if there is no comparison, and now Yang Xiaotian feels that he has never been so happy as he is now.

Yes, although this sounds very unkind, but after hearing Chuck's sad experience, Yang Xiaotian couldn't help but have a little premonition in his heart.

Yes, although I still have to worry about money now, I am being confronted by all kinds of politicians or the military, or simply those who covet their own company or their own women. But after all, this is a stranger, not a relative.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless?

Most people don't care about swatting mosquitoes, flies, and the like. Even children of a few years old are not afraid to kill mosquitoes.

But if it was a dog that was killed, even if it was just a wild dog that had never been seen before, the person who killed a dog for the first time must have a little uneasy feeling in his heart.

And when it is a person who is killed, or an acquaintance of oneself, this uneasiness will increase exponentially.

But now, Chuck and the others are fighting each other!

This is not a stranger, nor a friend, but a relative who has been under the same roof since childhood, eating at the same table, and even sleeping in the same bed!

Of course, Yang Xiaotian didn't know that the royal family of the Rock Kingdom, even if they were brothers, were never allowed to take a bath or sleep in the same room when they were sleeping.

Because bathing and sleeping are the times when people's defenses are weakest. But if two people are together, wouldn't it be too easy to compete with each other?

So, except for when they eat and study, they are together, and the rest of the time, they are basically separated.

This is also one of the reasons why the true character of the third prince can be hidden for so long.

However, this also indirectly caused the brotherly bond between the three brothers to not be as deep as ordinary people. Coupled with the temptation of power, the battle between the three brothers is almost the same as that between those undying enemies.

However, this is also the tradition between the siblings of the royal family, and in the history of the Locke Kingdom, brothers who can die well, in addition to the same mother, and brothers who are too different in age, may coexist. After all, when the older brother has already controlled the whole situation, even if the younger brother has grown up, it is impossible to change anything.

And like Locke, who served as Secretary of Defense, was a brother who was nearly fifteen years younger than Chuck.

When Locke was born, their father was close to fifty years old, and Chuck was nearly thirty years old. By that time, Chuck had pretty much wrested power away from his father.

By the time Locke grew up, their father was dead, and Chuck had already taken full control of the power. Even if Locke wanted to seize power, it was not so easy to succeed.

Moreover, Chuck's means of domestic affairs are still quite excellent, so the voice and support of the people are also very high. If Locke wants to seize power, there are not many places where he can get support.

At the time, he almost succeeded. Chuck smiled wryly. "If it weren't for the accident, the Rock Kingdom would really become the world of Lore. ”

Chuck didn't explain, but Yang Xiaotian wasn't stupid. If you speculate alone, you can also know that Lore is Chuck, and it is the name of the younger brother.

"But, where did he come from to assassinate you and your father?" asked Yang Xiaotian.

The Locke Kingdom is different from the United Kingdom, and the king of the Locke Kingdom is basically the military and the political. It's completely different from the Queen of England, who is only a nominal leader.

Here, there are no ruling parties, no opposition parties. Yes, just the king. Whether it is internal affairs or military affairs, the only one who can make a final decision is the king.

"That's why I'm in touch with Huaguo. Chuck smiled wryly. "In the Rock Kingdom, as long as there is money, anyone can form a force that is not weak in combat effectiveness in a period of time. ”

"What do you mean?" Yang Xiaotian raised his eyebrows.

"Here in the Rock Kingdom, what is most lacking is soldiers, but what is least lacking is also soldiers. Chuck's words made Yang Xiaotian a little stunned, but he immediately understood.

Chuck's military is not a concept. The most lacking soldiers are the armies directly belonging to the Locke Kingdom. And the most important thing is the mercenary army that can be seen everywhere in the Rock Kingdom.

"Understood. Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Although at that time, the economy of the Kingdom of Rock was still far less wealthy than it is now. There were not as many mercenaries in the country as there are now. Don't forget, it's not just the Rock Kingdom that has oil resources.

In the surrounding countries of the Rock Kingdom, there are also many mercenaries. And if you want to recruit mercenaries, you only need to have money.

As a prince who has endured for eighteen years, Lore usually doesn't spend much money at all. In the past eighteen years, Lore has saved enough money to recruit a mercenary army of no less than a thousand people!

"Fifteen hundred, that's the total number of mercenary corps recruited by Lore that year. "At that time, because of poverty, there were relatively few people who joined the army. But it is also because of poverty, so the equipment of the army of the Rock Kingdom is not worse than those mercenaries who lick blood on the knife all day long.

And because they are wandering around all day long, the mercenaries are no strangers to the terrain of the Rock Kingdom. Especially after Lore also provided a map of the internal structure of the palace, the mercenaries went all the way and were overwhelmed.

If it weren't for the absolute numerical superiority of the army of the Rock Kingdom, the chances of Lore succeeding this time were too high. After all, when those people extracted similar medicinal ingredients from the two older princes, no one had suspected Lore's head. At this time, it is the best time to suddenly launch a palace change.

After all, once someone reacts, it is not so easy for Lore to turn over. After all, even if it is his own son, a son who can hide the whole world for eighteen years is really terrifying!

Even as a father, I'm afraid Chuck's father won't allow Lore to continue to live in this world!

But in the end, this time the palace rebellion was suppressed. However, although Lore's palace change was not successful, it also caused the previous king to suffer a lot of injuries.

It is precisely because of this that Chuck is qualified to gradually take over the power from his father's hands.

And because the old king is still there, there is not much opposition in the process of this transfer of power.

And after experiencing so many things about being hungry, Chuck's mood gradually changed.

"You know, Xiaotian?" Chuck was silent for a long time after recalling the most uncomfortable time, and then suddenly spoke. "I'm very insecure right now, so I want to know all the information about all the armed forces in the country. I installed the listener out of necessity, and I hope you can understand me. ”

"I can understand you, but there's a problem. Yang Xiaotian threw the kernel in his hand, which had already lost the flesh, into the trash, and then stood up from the stool and looked at Chuck coldly. "I'm just an ordinary person, although I have the name of a vice-captain, but after all, I'm just an ordinary person. Don't forget, Trenton Fourroy Chuck!"

Yang Xiaotian read Chuck's full name word by word.

"I'm not only your friend, but also your savior!

"I know, but don't you think you'll be suspicious of the soldiers if you deliberately leave your dormitories uninstalled when you install them?" Chuck began. "Moreover, those monitors in your dormitory, although they can be used, you can go back and check that those monitors are not turned on at all!"

"Huh...... I really want to thank you. Of course Yang Xiaotian won't believe it, after listening to Chuck's story, if he can still believe Chuck, Yang Xiaotian is the biggest fool in the world.

"Believe it or not, I've already said everything I need to say anyway. Chuck shook his head, then said helplessly. "Like you said, you're not just my friend, you're my savior. No matter how ruthless I am, I won't have any bad intentions for you? Don't forget, my current body still depends on you to recuperate. If something happens to you, won't I have someone to help me?"

"Huh...... Thank you so much for thinking so highly of me. Yang Xiaotian sneered.

"Remember the black card I gave you?" Chuck said suddenly.

"En?" Yang Xiaotian raised his eyebrows, and he naturally carried the black card. After all, this black card is used in the Rock Kingdom, and if you don't bring it, it's a bit too tyrannical.

"You can use that black card to do anything in the Rock Kingdom that won't harm the security of the country. Chuck snorted. "You can do whatever you want with a black card. And today, I give you a guarantee. ”

"What guarantees?"

"You can use a black card to do anything for free at Locke Bank, including asking for oil fields. ”
