Chapter 774. This guy is a hopeless romantic.
"Of course I'll go."
"But I want to see what that withered old man was up to." Jiang Tian slowly started the car.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the electric current followed closely behind Milady's carriage as it traveled into the distance.
Throughout the journey, everyone looked at Jiang Tian with disbelief in their eyes.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Tian's vehicle came to a smooth stop in front of a castle.
There are two castles in the city, one is the royal palace, and the other is where the cardinals live.
Jiang Tian couldn't understand why such a place had been arranged in the city.
When Jiang Tian stopped the car, the Cardinal and Milady were already waiting there.
"I haven't yet asked your name, sir," the cardinal asked with a smile.
His surname is Jiang and his given name is Tian.
"I wonder where this gentleman comes from?" Cardinal and Milady walked ahead, leading Jiang Tian into the castle.
“From the Rakshasa Kingdom.”
"Oh... I've heard that the Rakshasa Kingdom has been embroiled in war recently. Did you see any armies fighting, sir?" The cardinal was clearly very interested in Jiang Tian.
"I just finished fighting and came here." Jiang Tian followed closely behind.
"So, sir, you also participated in the battle between the two countries this time." The cardinal stopped at the office door. "Then how is the war going now?"
Jiang Tian pushed open the office door and went inside.
He walked to the cardinal's seat and sat down.
"Your Frankish army of 500,000 has just been wiped out. Victor Halvey and that Bonaparte were killed by the big guy behind me."
The cardinal was utterly shocked when he heard this.
"Impossible, this is impossible."
"How could these people possibly wipe out our 500,000-strong army?"
The cardinal pounded his fists on the desk in front of Jiang Tian.
"What's impossible about that? My men not only wiped out your army of over 500,000, but also the Ottoman Empire's army of over 1 million. You can find out if you look into it."
After Jiang Tian finished speaking, he slowly stood up: "Of course, I don't know if one or two deserters have escaped back."
The cardinal stood there, speechless for a long time.
The Franks dispatched an army of 550,000 men, hoping not only to conquer a vast territory but also to plunder a large amount of gold and silver.
But now, they've gained nothing.
That's a huge loss.
This army of 550,000 was basically the entire main force of the Frankish Kingdom.
If this army of 550,000 is destroyed...
What do they have to fight Buckingham?
besides.
The neighboring Germanic kingdoms were also eyeing them covetously.
They could call anytime, anywhere.
The cardinal wanted to get angry.
The cunning fellow quickly calmed down.
"Please have a seat, sir." The cardinal quickly gestured to the chair behind Jiang Tian and said with a smile, "The reason I invited you here this time is that I hope we can become friends."
"The people I like the most are capable people."
Jiang Tian nodded and put his feet up on the table.
"I, Jiang Tian, am a straightforward person and I don't like beating around the bush."
"Tell me, what do you want me to do? How much will you pay me?"
Jiang Tian felt there was no need to waste time with him.
He came here to relax and clear his head.
He also knew that the dozens of countries in Europe were just a disorganized mess.
His purpose in coming here is to throw Europe into chaos and prevent them from ever becoming strong again.
No matter how many troops Buckingham brings, they must be wiped out.
Jiang Tian harbored a natural anger and dislike towards the Saxons.
Even if the cardinal didn't offer him any benefits, he still intended to wipe out Buckingham's army.
The cardinal gestured for people to close the doors and windows.
"I'm not afraid to tell you this, but our Queen is having an affair with the Duke of Buckingham. It's a disgrace to us Franks."
"The Duke of Buckingham's million-strong army is watching us closely, and he could cross the sea at any moment to deliver a fatal blow to us."
Jiang Tian knew about this part of history.
Louis XIV's wife, Anne, had an affair with Buckingham.
However, this kind of thing is not a big deal in Europe.
Europeans are more open-minded, and they are less concerned with matters of the heart.
Buckingham's desire to acquire Frank is indeed true.
"I told you not to beat around the bush, but you're still doing it."
What's the point of talking about all this nonsense?
"Just tell me how much money you want me to settle this matter." Jiang Tian glanced at the cardinal.
"We've received a tip that the Duke of Buckingham, with a few dozen guards, has secretly crossed the strait and may have already entered Frankish territory."
We want to catch him.
"And then what?" Jiang Tian shrugged and spread his hands. "What good would it do to capture him? The enemy's million-strong army wouldn't come over."
"Mr. Jiang, you may not understand Buckingham's status in the whole of England."
As long as we capture Buckingham and force him to withdraw his troops…
Before the cardinal could finish speaking, Jiang Tian interrupted him: "Then why not let them attack us, and then wipe them out?"
"He doesn't have a million-strong army, but they have several thousand warships."
If they all attack, we are no match for them.
“Let me deal with him. Tell me how much you’re paying me.” Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his thumb and forefinger together.
"Hurry up and tell me how much money you're willing to give me. I don't have time to waste talking nonsense with you guys here."
“Mr. Jiang, it’s like this.” Milady stepped forward, the young girl winking at Jiang Tian, “As long as Lord Jiang Tian can help us resolve this matter, we in Frank will definitely give you whatever we can offer.”
Jiang Tian stepped forward and put his arm around Milady's waist: "10 million gold coins."
"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't agree. I'm not afraid. With my strength, I can get those 10 million gold coins back anytime, anywhere."
Jiang Tian wasn't threatening; he was just stating the truth.
The cardinal nodded: "It's a deal."
"There's something I forgot to mention. Just now I saw a carriage rush out of the city. That carriage was surrounded and attacked by your guards."
Milady quickly said, "The person sitting in that carriage is none other than the Queen's personal maid, the girl named Constance."
He went to deliver a message to the Duke of Buckingham.
"Shouldn't we send someone to chase after them right away?"
“The people who were chasing us were all killed by your men, so how can we send anyone else to chase us?” Milady retorted.
“But it doesn’t matter,” the cardinal said. “You know what kind of man Buckingham is; he’s a hopeless romantic.”
