In the next few days at Beishan Castle, Lin Shuo's main task was to eat.

Anyway, there is a griffin a day, and the head of the hunting gate doesn't care whether the owner of this place is really polite or really distressed, in short, people are willing to take it out, then Lin Shuo is willing to eat.

In the past few days, Nemea has visibly begun to lose weight, her face is haggard, and she has to pretend to be smiling in front of Lin Shuo.

Because the news came from the capital, the emperor did send a mission.

Of course, it is somewhat inappropriate to say that it is a mission, to be precise, it is a working group.

Because the mission should be above board and with great fanfare, this group of people is not of this nature.

After all, the future daughter-in-law had such a thing, and the emperor's face was disgraceful, so the dispatch of this working group was relatively secretive, and the candidate was not an official on the surface, but the emperor's secret guard, a total of six people.

Four of them are ninth-order cultivators with the strength of the title, called Miao Chengyun, Lin Shuo, Yang Baokun, and Su Dongdong.

The purpose of these six people is to publicly execute Artemis in the Earldom of Kitayama and wash away the stigma of the royal family.

This matter was secret in the capital, and the royal family wanted to save face, but in Beishan, it was public, because to respect the teachings of the Poseidon Cult, it was necessary to set an example in the local area.

As soon as the news was paired, Nemea was not shocked by this, and even wanted to cry.

Because he originally believed that the mission was real, and sent someone out to prove the falsification, in fact, he was too distressed when he killed the griffin, and subconsciously hoped that the mission was fake.

As a result, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, people really had the emperor's order, and they were also a group of emperor's secret guards, that is, the emperor's side, and they could not be offended than ordinary officials.

So what else can I do, I can only continue.

The Poseidon Sect of the Principality of Mia is responsible for producing priestesses to satisfy the envoys.

The Duke's Court is responsible for producing griffons to satisfy the Vice-Chancellor.

But the priestess can go back the next day, and those women are not actually priestesses, they are local fireworks women pretending, which can cause trouble.

The griffon can't go back when it falls into the stomach, and there is no way to fake it.

So Amphitrite arranges six in one night not to be distressed, and Nemea is really crazy to kill one a day.

Not only that, but Nemea also had to endure the grievances, and from time to time she got close to the deputy envoy, because the envoy spent all his time on the woman in the next few days, and had no time to deal with him.

So Lin Shuo has been chatting happily in addition to eating happily these days.

By the way, the situation of the Duchy of Mia is almost clear from Nemea's mouth.

To say that Nemea is not born to play politics.

The real master of playing politics is ambitious and not revealed, brewing properly, and finally turning over the hole cards when everything is ready, and beating others with a stick can't turn over.

And Nemoa is a title-level master, although his title as the "Griffin Lord" is not high-grade, and it can be regarded as a "miscellaneous name" in the title. can rest in the Principality of Mia, which is also a leading cultivator.

Since force is strong, things are often solved by force, and they don't like to use their brains.

In fact, Lin Shuo himself was also this virtue before he engaged in the profession of teacher.

So he understood Nemea's situation very well, and he didn't say anything about the fight, and his mouth was not strict.

Although Nemoa was very polite in front of Lin Shuo, he never hid his ambition.

He told Lin Shuo that with the lifting of the seal of the gods, a new continent finally appeared in the open sea of the Great Western Continent.

Although the Duchy of Mia is not big, there are not many masters, and there is no capital to compete with other princes in the Great Western Continent, but the geographical location is now unique, because it is coastal here.

When the time comes, when he integrates the Duchy of Mia and obtains access to the sea, he will build ships to occupy the new continent across the ocean.

Anyway, those humans in the New World are stupid and savage, and they are certainly no match for the masters of the Great Western Continent, and when the time comes, he will be able to build a huge empire in the New World.

As long as Lin Shuo is willing to say a few kind words in front of the emperor for him after this trip, so that he can gain a firm foothold in the Duchy of Mia, Nemea promises to give Lin Shuo a kingdom in the New World in the future, so that he can make a note for this.

Lin Shuo listened to this promise, the corners of his mouth twitched, thinking that you are thinking about fart.

Although Daxizhou is a master of cultivation per capita, the "New World" in their eyes is not the same as it was 10,000 years ago.

There are also cultivation masters in the "New World", and no matter how powerful the masters are, they are not enough to guide and greet them.

At present, the Great Western Continent is still in the Iron Age, and the political structure is a feudal system with many heroes standing side by side, and the level of war under this system is actually very poor.

If the entire Western continent and the earth were to turn the table, maybe there would still be some movement, at least one Europe alone would be able to choke.

But if it's just a Duchy of Mia, then forget it, it is estimated that it was destroyed by Lin Shuo's mother-in-law's North Sea Fleet before even Europe saw it.

Although Nemea's promise was ridiculous, Lin Shuo had to pretend to be very interested, after all, eating people had a short mouth.

He asked Nemea to send him a map of the Tianlan Empire, saying that he would study it at night to see where the future Mia fleet would go to sea.

Nemea didn't know what Lin Shuo was thinking, so she was very happy, and sent someone to send the map that night.

So Lin Shuo and the Queen Mother of the West closed the door at night and came to study the map together.

The Queen Mother of the West was very dissatisfied with this, saying that Lin Shuo always used excuses to delay the time of her married life.

Lin Shuo pretended not to hear, pointed to the hand-drawn animal skin map on the table and said, "Madam, please see, I see." ”

"You don't have to interrupt. The Queen Mother of the West rolled her eyes, "It's as if you understood something." ”

Lin Shuo said with a smile: "With Madame's guidance last night, coupled with today's map, I have indeed understood Emperor Tianlan's intentions." ”

"Then tell me about it. The Queen Mother of the West looked playful and stopped her demonic hand.

"One of the obvious things I overlooked was the so-called dark under the lights. Lin Shuo reflected, "Our group of people appeared in Daxizhou, in fact, it was an advance expedition team, and they came to find out the situation in Daxizhou.

If Europe can send an advance team to land on the Great Western Continent, then the Great Western Continent has no idea about the 'new continent' that is so close to Europe?

We have discovered the Great Western Continent, and the Great Western Continent must have discovered us.

Of course, the people on the Great Western Continent have not experienced the great geographical discoveries of the earth, and the vast majority of them should not have any knowledge of the discovery of the New World.

The commoners didn't know what the New World meant, but it was an opportunity for the nobles here.

The reason why the nobles of Daxizhou are nobles is that their ancestors fought wars and grabbed land.

Today, the pattern of the three major empires of the entire Western Continent has been formed, and this is a relatively stable international political pattern.

If the nobles want to improve their titles and territory, they must grab new territory, but in today's political landscape, the cost and risk are extremely high.

And the emergence of a new continent that is not very far away is a godsend. ”

"You finally thought about it, I thought you were stunned by that woman Artemis. The Queen Mother of the West said softly: "Husband, if you like her, do you want me to possess her, and you will go to the dungeon for one night tonight?"

"Don't interrupt. Lin Shuo couldn't cry or laugh, "I'm analyzing." ”

"You male humans are really born with a desire to express themselves in front of their mates. The Queen Mother of the West laughed and said, "Didn't you just say you were stupid last night, and you have to get it back?"

"I want you to see if my analysis is correct, and I will correct you if I don't correct it. Lin Shuo said helplessly, "I know that you are smart in this regard, and you have a good wife in your family, so I want to ask for advice." ”

"Well, you go on. ”

"Even nobles like Nemea, who are not very good at making their brains, see the opportunity, and the greatest nobleman in the Great Western Continent, that is, the Emperor, must also see it. Lin Shuo said, "If you look at the territory of the Tianlan Empire, the west and south are neighboring countries, the north is the vast snow-capped mountains, and only the east can go to sea.

But from the beach where we first landed, to the next port, there was only the county of Silan in the Duchy of Mia, during which Artemis's ship sailed for a full day and night.

This shows that there are very few coastal territories in the eastern part of the Tianlan Empire that are suitable for porting, among which the Xilan Earldom of the Duchy of Mia is a ready-made good port to support a large-scale fleet to go to sea from here. ”

"So what?" asked the Queen Mother of the West.

"Therefore, Emperor Tianlan's intention is not to break up the Duchy of Mia, but to completely control the Duchy of Mia, especially the Earldom of Xilan. Lin Shuo said, "This is to prepare for the next step of the Imperial Fleet's going to sea." ”

"But the Duchy of Mia belongs to the Kingdom of Badia, not the direct territory of Emperor Tianlan, so how should he control it?" the Queen Mother of the West asked again, "Duke Nemea saw this kind of opportunity, didn't King Badia see it? Will King Badia honestly give up the Duchy of Mia?"

"That's why the Emperor and the Third Prince can't come forward directly, but want to seek temporary cooperation with us. Lin Shuo said, "The Duchy of Mia is not a direct territory of the Tianlan Empire, and there is also the Badia Kingdom in the middle, and the idea of bypassing the royal family and directly attacking the principality is a big taboo in the feudal system." ”

"So, what conclusion can you draw?"

The conclusion is that the three princes representing the royal family will return Artemis, the disreputable fiancée, after a year, and will even ask for a holy decree to pardon Artemis's crimes, and then forcibly put Artemis in the position of duke. Lin Shuo said, "Of course, Artemis, the duke, because his previous crimes were only pardoned and not clarified, so his prestige is impossible, so it is convenient to be a puppet." In fact, it will be her husband, the third prince who is trusted by the emperor. The empire thus directly controlled the Duchy of Mia. ”

"Artemis is not stupid. The Queen Mother of the West nodded and said, "After learning that the third prince was involved in this matter, she immediately thought of the result you have in mind now, so she would rather be burned to death than bear this stigma and become a puppet duke."

At the same time, she will be anxious, because the longer the time drags on, the more time the third prince will have to arrange this matter.

You have also seen the energy of the three princes, and whether the mission is true or false is a matter of one sentence.

So Lin Shuo, if you give him so much more time to arrange, how can you make Artemis turn the tables and become a real duke after that?

You must know that whether she is burned to death directly, or saved by the third prince and becomes a puppet, she will not take you to Yun Yuexin. ”

Lin Shuo was originally thinking about something while listening to the words of the Queen Mother of the West, and when he heard this, he frowned: "My mother is your mother-in-law, how can you call her name?"

The Queen Mother of the West stuck out her tongue: "I was wrong, husband, you punish me." ”

"How is it punished?"

"Isn't it clear how to punish you?" The Queen Mother of the West smiled and pushed Lin Shuo onto the bed.
