Chapter 651: Do you want to vent your anger? (Begging for subscriptions, begging for

A confidant secret agent responsible for monitoring the movements of the fief was kneeling on one knee, reporting to Andrei Dagong Andrei in detail about all of Xie Ergai's recent actions: including the large-scale promotion of his peace-loving persona, spending huge sums of money to redeem prisoners of war, and secretly organizing old troops, etc.

After listening, Andrei Dagong Andrei showed a complex expression on his face.

How could he not know the movements of this eldest son of his? Even if he didn't value him anymore, the basic surveillance had never been relaxed.

"Humph, it seems that this setback didn't completely crush him." Andrei's tone could not tell whether he was angry or happy. "He still knows how to find ways to save himself, accumulate strength, and want to compete with his younger brother. He is more promising than I thought."

The secret agent below asked in a low voice: "Andrei Dagong, the eldest prince is acting like this in the fief, and his influence is growing day by day. Do we need to restrict or guide him?"

Andrei pondered for a moment, but waved his hand: "No need. Let him toss. If he can stand firm with his own ability, and even surpass his incompetent younger brother, it proves that he still has some value, which is better than being a waste and never recovering."

He mistakenly thought that Xie Ergai did all this just to show himself in the family competition and win his re-valuation, at most wanting to compete with his younger brother for the succession.

He never thought that Xie Ergai's ambition had already expanded to directly overturning his table and seizing the position of Andrei Dagong under the bewitchment of his "good master"!

There was another reason why Andrei temporarily indulged Xie Ergai.

He was also somewhat dissatisfied with the second son who was eager to perform and went to be a vanguard for Tuoba Zhen.

Although the second son had achieved some military merit, in Andrei's view, it was just obtained by relying on others and selling his life for the barbarians, far less backbone than the eldest son's self-reliance on his own territory, although he completely misunderstood the eldest son's "self-reliance."

He was happy to see the two sons compete with each other, which could better stimulate their abilities.

However, it was this "indulgence" based on wrong judgment that provided precious development time and space for Xie Ergai and Li Chen's plan.

Recently, Andrei Dagong Andrei's chief military advisor Vasily had not been on the front line with the army, but had left the camp in the name of "lobbying various forces for Andrei Dagong Andrei, making potential allies, and consolidating the foundation of the rear."

But this was just a perfect excuse, and his true whereabouts were more secret.

At this moment, he had quietly returned to the core of Andrei Dagong Andrei's rule, Winterhold.

This afternoon, Vasily carefully tidied up his appearance, brought a seemingly respectful smile, and visited Lady Yekaterina in the name of reporting official business.

In the reception hall, Yekaterina maintained the dignity and aloofness of a noble hostess and received this military advisor whom her husband relied on quite a bit.

She wore a conservative and luxurious dark purple long skirt, but it was still difficult to completely cover the breathtaking mature curves.

Vasily first reported some irrelevant "lobbying progress" in a formulaic manner, then the conversation turned, and his gaze became somewhat hot, sweeping over Yekaterina's plump figure without a trace, and lowered his voice:

"Madam, recently I have also heard about some of the eldest prince's measures in the fief. The eldest prince is young and vigorous, some ideas are indeed good, but it is inevitable that he is eager in his actions, which may cause criticism, or even cause the Andrei Dagong's displeasure..."

Yekaterina frowned, her tone flat: "Oh? What high opinion does the military advisor have?"
