If Joseph could get up now, he would definitely beat Hannibal's handsome face with his thief arm, no matter whether he was the consul or a victorious general.
Looking at the situation inside the chessboard, Hannibal said high above: For my ideals and victory, it is natural to win by any means. If you lie to you, you will be lying to Luo!To put it short, Kahn and Karin were both used and controlled by me this time, and you have to be my pawn to fight this tough battle.Facing the Black Emperor, I can only win but not lose in this battle. If I lose, not only my life will be the only one, but Carthage's future will be ruined.
Faced with Hannibal, a realist who is passionate and great, but has cold and ruthless means, Joseph knew that it would be useless to get angry, and the other party didn't care at all.
Joseph said self-deprecatingly: Then why did you design to lie to me?Is the assassination of the Black Emperor real or fake?What is your intention?
Hannibal laughed and said: If the cunning and cunning Black Emperor were so easy to be assassinated, I would have slaughtered him long ago!Is it still necessary to spend so much effort?
Next, he said with a far-sighted look: The girl who presented flowers to you at the dock last time was Jessica's sister and the other daughter of the Black Emperor. I want you to bring both of them!Not only will they become hostages to save your life, but they will make it difficult for the Black Emperor to kill you, but I will also use their sisters to deal with my biological father, Peterif.Last point, I have recorded the scene of you being abusive Jessica just now with a crystal ball. If you dare to betray me, the crystal ball will be given to Baker.
Joseph remembered the last time he was called a ghost by a beautiful girl from the fairy tribe. If he were a ghost, he would be just a ghost. Hannibal was the evil ghost king in Carthage.
Wish he could beat Hannibal's arrogant handsome face in a crooked way, Joseph gritted his teeth and said: Then, I just need to get Jessica's sister to bed, and my sister will kill two birds with one stone?
Hannibal said calmly: The eldest daughter of the Black Emperor is Jennifer. Yàn will give you her information later. You can use Jessica and her relationship to find a way to deal with it.
After thinking a little, Hannibal continued: There are two more things you need to do. I send out the news that the price of gold and silver will rise sharply. I lend money to the elders in Aubrey to buy gold and silver. You can borrow as much as they want.Money is not a problem, just ask me for it.
Hannibal, who did not pause, said again: Has in your gang’s real name is Sophia, and he is the youngest daughter of the Krakow family.Next I want you to get her, and you can use medicine and poison, and it doesn’t matter if you coerce and induce rape and get pregnant. You can do whatever you want and succeed.Anyway, I want her to stand on my side and deal with her second brother and father.
Joseph's back was sweating coldly, thinking about Ma Su and his daughter before, and the current strategy made him realize that Hannibal was deeper and more vicious than he had originally thought, and he used other people's affection and family as threats and weapons without caring.
Joseph said with a wry smile: I finally understand why Hannibal, you are such a handsome and powerful general, and the enviable big man by Carthage girls, is only Yàn Ni.A person who knows how to use family, love and friendship as weapons will naturally avoid being used to deal with himself with the same weaknesses. Yeàn Ni, you actually love such a person. It's really a blind eye.
Yàn Ni looked down on Joseph indifferently and said: You are a scumbag who dares to rape you, even your adoptive mother!For the sake of the general and his ideals, I will not borrow it even if I want to be crushed to pieces.
Hannibal looked at Joseph from the beginning and said: Your understanding seems to be good. If you don’t want Jessica and your other women to be silenced by me, it’s best to remember one thing, don’t betray me, don’t even think about it.
I will teach you something more, wanting power, financial resources, military strength and votes, all three are indispensable.If I am single, Carthage women will become even more addicted to their dreams, fantasizing that they can become my other half, and that women's votes are easier to obtain than men.But if I had no mistress and girlfriend at all, they would suspect that I was gay, so it would be enough to have a semi-public disguise of Yàn Ni's identity.
Hannibal said at last.
After meeting Hannibal, Yànnie ordered the priest to heal Joseph again.Although the healing technique cannot cure this degree of fracture immediately, it can at least allow Joseph to walk.
Joseph could be sure Kahn was willing to help Hannibal this time.
As for Karin, when she wanted to calculate Jessica, she once said she would stop her, but was deterred by Kane's tough words.
Thinking of Karin, who had also seen Jessica's naked body, Hannibal was able to make crystal ball images that were inseparable from real or fake, must have used her.
After the matter became like this, Joseph did not dare to go home for a while. He decided to go to Kahn's house first and pursue Kahn's responsibility, and then send someone to go home to inquire about Jessica's situation first.
When Joseph went to Kahn's dilapidated residence, he found that the Titan giant was waiting outside the door.
Joseph first asked: Is there any wine?
Kahn replied: Yes.
After entering the garbage-filled house, Joseph picked up the iced wine bottle in the bucket, opened the bottle plug and poured it down for half a bottle before cursing: Damn it!Why do you want to help Hannibal?Why didn't you tell me in advance?
Kahn also took a bottle of wine and said while drinking: Didn’t I promise you, boss, that would you find a way to get you to Jessica?I am just fulfilling my words on that day. Otherwise, you will continue to be timid and dare to think but not do for the rest of your life. Everything I do is to let your boss dominate Carthage's wish to come true.
Joseph cursed for a long time, and then cursed all the swear words he knew before saying: I didn't ask you to set up a plan to lure him to help Hannibal to obtain the evidence that I raped Jessica, you traitor, traitor and insider!
The half-drunk Kahn said: The so-called "do not doubt people," he said "do not doubt people."Boss, since you have used me, you must believe me with all your heart!The same goes for Hannibal.To Remagen, Yàn Ni and Masu, Hannibal worshipped him as a great man because of their absolute loyalty. To put it nicely, they were too idealistic, and to be unpleasant, they were naive and ignorant.Boss, you are not such a person. You have no weaknesses in your hands and make him believe that you will never betray you. How dare he use you with confidence?According to his plan, you have become one of the key pieces of his victory with the Black Emperor. Boss, you have to climb up. Hannibal is a strong helper. With his help, we will work hard for ten years!Think about it yourself, will I help you or harm you?
Having said that, Joseph was still unhappy and still had a sense of resentment in his heart.
Joseph said unwillingly: But... Hannibal might be more vicious than the Black Emperor. He is young and promising and admired by everyone. He really makes him a lifelong consul. Maybe we will never have hope to climb up in our lives. If he dies naturally when he is old and dies, I will become an old man. What else do I want to replace the Black Emperor?
Kahn coughed several times after taking a big mouthful of wine in a bottle and said, "So we can't work for Hannibal obediently. We must let him fight with the Black Emperor and die together, and we will benefit again."
Joseph said in a cold sweat: This is too risky. If Hannibal knew about it, we would be dead!That guy is not an ordinary enemy.
Ren'en said with a serious expression: Hannibal is a hero who acts decently on the surface, but behind his back he is a hero with ruthless means.If he defeated the Black Emperor this time, I think he has more than half the chance to eradicate your potential threat.
Joseph said in shock: You aren't so cruel, right?I am still far from threatening him.
Kahn sneered: But there is no harm in getting rid of you!Anyway, you don't have the capital to fight him.
Joseph said with a change of mind: Since you know that Jessica is the daughter of the Black Emperor, what do we ask if we seek to join the Black Emperor?As Hannibal said, he also got Jessica's sister Jennyva into his hands, and I became his sn in law like Baker.The old ghost of the Black Emperor will always die, and Baker is my adoptive father.
Kahn shook the bottle in his hand and said: It's not so easy to get on the pirate ship. The assassination unit headed by Yànni has been responsible for monitoring you, Jessica and others. Besides, Remagen doesn't know if he has put medicine on us. Once you rebel, they will kill people.
Kahn coughed a few more times after saying that.
Kahn, who drank the whole bottle of wine, said: So our actions must be carried out in a concealed and clever manner, especially not to let Hannibal notice it.
Joseph said worriedly: Then what are your plans?How many confidences are there to succeed?
Kahn shook his head and said: What means will Hannibal and the Black Emperor fight with each other? No one in the world can guess accurately. How could I have a plan? Just walk and seize the opportunity.The so-called "time creates heroes". Since the showdown between the two heroes is inevitable, take advantage of this situation, you will have the chance to become a hero!
After listening, Joseph opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while before he angrily poured the frozen beer and said: Damn it!I heard you talk for a long time and it turned out that I was talking nonsense!
Kahn said with a very shameless attitude: This is not nonsense. Leave the despicable and shameless things to me. Don’t worry about my business.To successfully deceive the enemy, you must start with your companions. In the future, even against Natasha and Xinlishi, you must pretend to be Hannibal and work hard.If I unfortunately fail, I would pretend to be a betrayer who was bought by the Black Emperor, and you were a victim who knew nothing.
Joseph said: Isn’t this very unfaithful?If something happens, you will only be responsible.
Kahn said: To achieve great things, you must sacrifice, even if you sacrifice your own people.Besides, there is really a situation, it is hard to guarantee that Hannibal would rather kill a thousand mistakes than let one go, and you will kill the boss together.
Joseph finally nodded in agreement in sweat, because he could not live in the shadow of Hannibal for the rest of his life.
Then Joseph said: Is there any way you can solve Jessica's problem?I'm so scared that I dare not go home now.
Kahn said coldly: Boss, please find a way for your own feelings!I don't do such extra work. Besides, you are in a hurry to seek medical treatment now. If I have a way to treat women, there will be no woman around me.
Joseph sulked in his heart: This was not something that happened because you colluded with Hannibal, but now he pretended to be unrelated to his own affairs.
When Joseph left, he said: Don’t drink frozen beer if you are sick, be careful to cough you, the alcoholic!
Kahn said indifferently: There are no more women, if I can’t even drink, I might as well hang myself and kill me.
After leaving Kahn's house, Joseph didn't dare to go home, but just asked about Jessica's news through Karin.
Knowing that Jessica did not go back to her and Baker's house that night, she was confused all day long after she went back the next day, and she was coughing and sighing with red eyes.
After hiding outside for three days, although Joseph didn't know whether Jessica's anger had faded, he couldn't stay outside for the rest of his life, so he had to go back with a hard head.
After knowing that Joseph was back, Jessica did not come to see him immediately, and did not come to see Joseph with Baker that night.
After the two met, Jessica's face was full of anger and her eyes were filled with tears. She clenched her slender hands into pink fists. Her pretty face was tense, full of murderous aura but slightly sad. She seemed to want to have an attack but endured it again.
Joseph had no masculinity at all now, so he could only lower his head in fear.
Seeing this, Baker quickly persuaded Jessica and Karin to go into the kitchen to cook dinner, while he pulled Joseph to talk.
Baker said suspiciously and worriedly: What did you do that made your mother so angry?
Joseph casually said: Nothing, nothing is a trivial matter.
Baker patted Joseph's shoulder vigorously and said: Is it okay to be so angry?For more than ten years, I have never seen Jessica suffer from insomnia at night, burned cooking, torn washing, and crying secretly.We are two fathers and sons, what can we say?Tell me quickly.
Although Baker expressed his affectionate expressions with care and affectionate expressions, Joseph could not tell the truth that he had been hit by Hannibal's trick and raped his adoptive mother Jessica.
Otherwise, I'm afraid Baker would take out the Langri knife on the spot to kill his unfilial son.
Finally, Joseph said wisely in a hurry: It's about Zilan. She has my child. Jessica advised me to marry her, but I didn't want to.
Baker sighed and said: You have grown up, and you should have graduated from the Oedipus complex for Jessica. Since you have children, you should get married!This time I was standing on Jessica's side.
Afterwards, Baker persuaded Joseph sincerely, and Joseph could only respond in a false way.
Joseph knew that there was no reason to justify what he did. It was only because he did not trust Jessica as unconditionally as Baker, so he mistakenly fell in Hannibal's trick, and falling in love with someone was not something he could control.
When Jessica and Karin served the dishes, Baker tried to be a mediator and said: Jessica, you are so!If it's because Zi Lan is pregnant, just tell me. Let's convince Joseph to marry Zi Lan, you don't have to sulk alone.
Jessica was stunned at first, then turned her face and ignored Joseph and said: I don’t care about his affairs!
Karin was shocked and said to Joseph in anger: Master, are you going to marry Zilan?Then what should I do?I followed you earlier than Zilan.
Baker smiled bitterly at this time and said: In addition to Karin, there are Helena and Xiao Cui. No wonder Joseph, you can't make a decision for a while.It is normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. For example, I am dedicated to Jessica, so you can marry them all into the house.
Baker laughed and hugged Jessica's slender waist tightly.
Jessica was crying sadly in Baker's arms, while Joseph's heart was stinging.
The family gathering that night naturally ended in an unhappy way, and in the following month, Jessica was as cold as if Joseph did not exist.
During this period, Joseph, in accordance with Hannibal's instructions, privately spread the news of failed searching for gold mines in the Danube League in the political arena. In order to implement currency reform, the government will soon purchase a large number of gold and silver in the market and reminisce a new batch of gold and silver coins.
Those who received the news soon began to purchase gold and silver. With their large purchases, the price of gold and silver in Carthage was quickly pushed up. Many people who had little understanding of this matter followed the trend and entered the market and scrambled to purchase.
Faced with the increasing price of gold and silver, everyone in Carthage's upper class believed that the price of gold and silver would inevitably rise further.
Joseph took advantage of this mentality and borrowed money everywhere to buy gold and silver, and Aubrey also became one of the preys to fall into this trap.
The Black Emperors began to sell gold and silver at high prices to make profits in exchange for copper coins or actively purchase physical ships, large wealthy mansions or suburban manor farms and slaves.
The invisible war, which did not shed a drop of blood, used mutual fraud and conspiracy as weapons, lasted for a month in politics and business.
Zilan, Helena, Xiaocui, Luo Aier and Xinlixis will return to Carthage with the Expedition Fleet tomorrow.
And that night, Jessica, wearing a nightgown, holding a moon sword, came to meet Joseph alone.
Joseph sent away the maid and asked Karin to stay in the room, waiting tremblingly for Jessica to deal with him.
Jessica held Ai Jian sadly and said: No one can know about that night!Especially Baker.
Joseph replied: I will ask Kahn, Karin and Remagen to keep the secret.
Jessica next said in an unquestionable tone and oppressive tone: Tell me why I did that night?Without a reasonable explanation, mom will not forgive you. No, there is an explanation!
Joseph had no choice but to tell that he had always had some contact with Princess Anne and that he had participated in Hannibal's camp.
Jessica's hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter, and her anger surged in a straight line. She said with gritted teeth: Politics is indeed the dirtiest thing in the world. My father is like this, Hannibal, a handsome man, and even you who I have worked hard to raise. Mom, I am very sad!
At the end of the day, Jessica's face burst into tears, and transparent and crystal tears kept falling on her legs.
Joseph said shamelessly: Mom, please forgive me. If I had known that Peterev was your father in the morning, I would not have done this.
Jessica sobbed and said sadly: Can such a thing be forgiven?How do you tell me to face Baker?So how can you face your stupid son?Joseph bowed his head in shame and said nothing.
Jessica said silently in tears: Maybe this is retribution!Even if I have worked hard to raise you for more than ten years, I will not be able to repay my father's sins.
While wiping the tears on his face, Jessica said: I will try to convince Baker to give up everything now and leave Carthage together.If Joseph, you can stop your delusions about me and give up your status as a senator, and treat me as a mother from now on, and our family will move to a distant province and live a new life. You can bring Princess Anne, Xiao Cui, Karin, Zilan and Helena.
Joseph was in great difficulty and didn't know how to make a decision.
Looking at the situation inside the chessboard, Hannibal said high above: For my ideals and victory, it is natural to win by any means. If you lie to you, you will be lying to Luo!To put it short, Kahn and Karin were both used and controlled by me this time, and you have to be my pawn to fight this tough battle.Facing the Black Emperor, I can only win but not lose in this battle. If I lose, not only my life will be the only one, but Carthage's future will be ruined.
Faced with Hannibal, a realist who is passionate and great, but has cold and ruthless means, Joseph knew that it would be useless to get angry, and the other party didn't care at all.
Joseph said self-deprecatingly: Then why did you design to lie to me?Is the assassination of the Black Emperor real or fake?What is your intention?
Hannibal laughed and said: If the cunning and cunning Black Emperor were so easy to be assassinated, I would have slaughtered him long ago!Is it still necessary to spend so much effort?
Next, he said with a far-sighted look: The girl who presented flowers to you at the dock last time was Jessica's sister and the other daughter of the Black Emperor. I want you to bring both of them!Not only will they become hostages to save your life, but they will make it difficult for the Black Emperor to kill you, but I will also use their sisters to deal with my biological father, Peterif.Last point, I have recorded the scene of you being abusive Jessica just now with a crystal ball. If you dare to betray me, the crystal ball will be given to Baker.
Joseph remembered the last time he was called a ghost by a beautiful girl from the fairy tribe. If he were a ghost, he would be just a ghost. Hannibal was the evil ghost king in Carthage.
Wish he could beat Hannibal's arrogant handsome face in a crooked way, Joseph gritted his teeth and said: Then, I just need to get Jessica's sister to bed, and my sister will kill two birds with one stone?
Hannibal said calmly: The eldest daughter of the Black Emperor is Jennifer. Yàn will give you her information later. You can use Jessica and her relationship to find a way to deal with it.
After thinking a little, Hannibal continued: There are two more things you need to do. I send out the news that the price of gold and silver will rise sharply. I lend money to the elders in Aubrey to buy gold and silver. You can borrow as much as they want.Money is not a problem, just ask me for it.
Hannibal, who did not pause, said again: Has in your gang’s real name is Sophia, and he is the youngest daughter of the Krakow family.Next I want you to get her, and you can use medicine and poison, and it doesn’t matter if you coerce and induce rape and get pregnant. You can do whatever you want and succeed.Anyway, I want her to stand on my side and deal with her second brother and father.
Joseph's back was sweating coldly, thinking about Ma Su and his daughter before, and the current strategy made him realize that Hannibal was deeper and more vicious than he had originally thought, and he used other people's affection and family as threats and weapons without caring.

Jessica held Ai Jian sadly and said: No one can know about that night!Especially Baker.
Joseph replied: I will ask Kahn, Karin and Remagen to keep the secret.
Jessica next said in an unquestionable tone and oppressive tone: Tell me why I did that night?Without a reasonable explanation, mom will not forgive you. No, there is an explanation!
Joseph had no choice but to tell that he had always had some contact with Princess Anne and that he had participated in Hannibal's camp.
Jessica's hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter, and her anger surged in a straight line. She said with gritted teeth: Politics is indeed the dirtiest thing in the world. My father is like this, Hannibal, a handsome man, and even you who I have worked hard to raise. Mom, I am very sad!
At the end of the day, Jessica's face burst into tears, and transparent and crystal tears kept falling on her legs.
Joseph said shamelessly: Mom, please forgive me. If I had known that Peterev was your father in the morning, I would not have done this.
Jessica sobbed and said sadly: Can such a thing be forgiven?How do you tell me to face Baker?So how can you face your stupid son?Joseph bowed his head in shame and said nothing.
Jessica said silently in tears: Maybe this is retribution!Even if I have worked hard to raise you for more than ten years, I will not be able to repay my father's sins.
While wiping the tears on his face, Jessica said: I will try to convince Baker to give up everything now and leave Carthage together.If Joseph, you can stop your delusions about me and give up your status as a senator, and treat me as a mother from now on, and our family will move to a distant province and live a new life. You can bring Princess Anne, Xiao Cui, Karin, Zilan and Helena.
Joseph was in great difficulty and didn't know how to make a decision.
