In a New York minute.

Months passed.

The long and cold winter year is finally over.

As we enter the warm spring season, the warm sunlight melts the snow and ice on the ground, and the roads become slippery and muddy.

People who have been at home for months are also starting to get out of the house, bask in the sun, and be busy with various things.

Farmers in the countryside are also beginning to prepare for the spring sowing of the year.

Zhou Ming, who is already 18 years old, is rushing to be 19 years old.

……

Outside the royal capital of Dilo, the castle of the medicine bottle.

A staff member of the Continental Chamber of Commerce handed a letter to Zhou Ming's hand.

The letter was written by his father, Cohen Railling, which roughly meant that the family members who were still on the side of Heihe Town had already gotten into the carriage and officially set off, and most of them had decided to return to the royal capital, except for a few family members who would stay in Heihe Town.

For example, Zhou Ming's mother Villani, his mother Olenna, his eldest brother Roger, his second sister Ciri, third brother Jon and uncle Philemon all returned.

Including Cohen Leylin himself, he will also return to the royal capital to meet the king.

Of course, Zhou Ming, who has not been seen for almost three years, also wants to see him.

It's just that......

The family has no place to live in Wang, and his father Cohen wants Zhou Ming to help him find a place to settle them.

Zhou Ming thought about it, called Di Fu, who was appointed as the housekeeper, and asked him to go to the city to find a mansion, buy it, recruit workers to decorate it, and hire a group of servants to clean the mansion, and then be ready to welcome his family at any time after cleaning the mansion.

"It's best to complete this within a month, don't care how much money is spent, in short, when my family's people arrive, the mansion is not ready. ”

"Yes sir. ”

Defoe, dressed in a butler's tuxedo, bowed and immediately began to prepare.

After the end of the rebellion last year, hundreds of nobles in the kingdom who were divided into the Duke of Paris's party were liquidated, and many of these families had purchased mansions in the royal capital, which were now basically vacant, and it didn't take much effort for Defoe to buy a mansion in good condition.

For the imminent arrival of his family and how to deal with the relationship with various family members, Zhou Ming is also mentally prepared.

Anyway, no matter how many red faces and how many black faces there will be, in the Lei Lin family, his role and weight must be recognized and valued by everyone.

Zhou Ming also hopes that it is best not to jump out of the brain-disabled and mentally retarded, and insist on being slapped in the face by him, then he will be a little embarrassed.

……

Spring year, February 11th.

Zhou Ming attended a court meeting.

A relatively important topic is being discussed.

Regarding the issue of "marriage between the two countries" proposed by the Kingdom of Dongjing Suoliu.

The envoy of the Kingdom of Suoliu proposed: I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess of the Kingdom of Adud is beautiful and virtuous, and when she is of the age of marriage, His Royal Highness Prince Geoffrey of the Kingdom of Suoliu admires him very much, and King Weber of the Kingdom of Suoliu also hopes that the relationship between the two countries will go further, so he asks the two countries to marry Prince Geoffrey and marry His Royal Highness the Princess of the Kingdom of Adude.

Marrying that princess?

King Jaime's only daughter, Princess Syvanis, of course.

After receiving the marriage request of the Soliu Kingdom, the court meeting of the Adud Kingdom was hotly discussed by the noble ministers.

"What does this mean in the Kingdom of Soliu?"

"Our country and the Suoliu Kingdom have not been married for more than two hundred years, and the war has been fought dozens of times, what do they want to do this time?"

"Why does the kingdom of Soliu want to marry our princess Syvines? Our noble princess, is their prince Geoffrey worthy?"

"It's okay for the two countries to marry, there are three princes in our country, I heard that King Webb of the Soliu Kingdom has three daughters, how about we not marry three, but only one?"

"Hahahaha~"

In the court, there was a burst of laughter.

Obviously, the noble ministers of the Addud Kingdom were not very interested in the marriage request made by the Suoliu Kingdom.

But the thin and ugly envoy sent by the Suoliu Kingdom said a few words in a gloomy and cold tone, and everyone's faces changed.

"Our request for marriage to your country is for the sake of reconciliation between our two countries, and if your country refuses, it will be rude and contempt to our King and His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"If His Majesty the King is angry, the consequences are serious. ”

"I also heard that last year, the Duke of Paris of your country launched a rebellion, and all of the 300,000 frontier regiments were used to fight the king, and there were heavy casualties on both sides. ”

"Now that the ice and snow have all melted, and the road is soon getting easier to walk, I want to ask your country: Can the army of only tens of thousands of people left in Dongjing in your country stop the invasion of my country's 500,000 elite army?"

"Let me ask your country again, is it important to be a princess, or is it important for the two countries to have a lasting peace?"

The envoy of the Suoliu Kingdom finally told his shameful purpose.

Rumble~

The noble ministers of the Kingdom of Adud suddenly became extremely uproarious.

King James's face was even more ugly.

Threat!

This is a threat of naked ruo.

A nobleman clenched his fist and walked up to the envoy and said, "What do you mean? What do you want to do?"

The envoy twisted his head: "It's not interesting, I don't want to do anything." ”

"I'll kill you!"

The nobleman threw a punch at him.

"Count Cady, don't do it, don't do it!"

"Don't rush Count Cady. ”

Two men grabbed the nobleman named "Kaidi" and told him not to be impulsive.

The envoy raised his head and looked at the men in the court with disdain.

In fact, after the rebellion launched by the Duke of Paris around March last year and almost all the frontier army regiments were withdrawn, the upper echelons of the country on the other side of the border in the kingdom of Soliu can be said to have felt ecstasy.

Ecstasy.

The kingdom of Addud is in civil strife, isn't their chance coming?

You must know that the relationship between the two countries has always been not very good, and there is a war almost every ten years, and the strength of the Suoliu Kingdom is obviously stronger, so the Adduth Kingdom has always been on the defensive, and the Suoliu Kingdom has not taken any advantage.

Now seeing that the Aduid Kingdom is in chaos, how could the Suoliu Kingdom let go of this opportunity, how could it be impossible to want to gnaw a large piece of meat from the Aduid Kingdom?

It's just that......

It's too embarrassing to be in the winter season.

Not only is it inconvenient to travel on the roads, but it will take four or five months just to prepare materials for a large-scale war.

Then march in the ice and snow, fight in an environment of minus forty or fifty degrees, and it is strange that the soldiers do not mutiny!

So for this opportunity, the Suoliu Kingdom, which wants to take advantage of the fire, has to express helplessness.

In addition, although the Duke of Paris is dizzy, he is not without the slightest defense against the Suoliu Kingdom, at least 20,000 elite troops have been stationed on the front line, and they have not shown any gaps...... Duke Paris also did not want the kingdom he had taken over, and in the end he was plucked by his old rival.

So until the winter years passed and the spring snow melted, the Suoliu Kingdom couldn't wait to send an envoy to ask for a marriage between the two countries.

And the kingdom of Suoliu has made two preparations.

One, if the kingdom of Addud agrees to marry, and the kingdom of Soliu gets a beauty, then for the time being, he will not stir up trouble and marry a beauty first.

Second, if the Aduid Kingdom refuses to marry, then the Soliu Kingdom will use this as an excuse to send out 500,000 troops to devour the Aduid Kingdom!

In short, no matter what choice the Aduid kingdom makes, it all means the same thing: the Aduid kingdom is in trouble.

It's a big deal!

In the face of the porcelain provocation of the Suoliu Kingdom, for a while, the noble ministers of the Adudud Kingdom were angry and worried, and they were a little at a loss.

"No, our princess Sylvestris, no one wants to touch it!"

"Her Royal Highness the Princess, is it something that you can touch?"

"No marriage!

Several young nobles who had a crush on Princess Syvanis expressed strong opposition.

"Aren't you afraid of war between the two countries?" asked the envoy, swaggeringly.

"Fight and fight, who is afraid of whom?"

This side immediately slammed over.

But......

Thinking of the 500,000 troops of the Suoliu Kingdom, some of the older nobles and ministers took a deep breath.

"500,000, how can this be stopped?"

"Now there are only some remnants of the Border Guards Corps, and the number is only 80,000, which is ......"

"The Suoliu Kingdom is already much stronger than my country, and several small countries around it have been pressed and beaten by him, if we do it hard, I'm afraid it will be ......."

"It's better to ......"

Some old aristocratic ministers said in a euphemistic tone that they might be able to agree to the marriage.

And Princess Severis is 22 years old, there are very few people in the kingdom who are as old as her and have not married, and Severnes herself has a high vision, and no one seems to look down on her, and she is still single.

became an older leftover girl.

It is better to make a big contribution to the kingdom and strive for a few years of development opportunities for the kingdom...... Several ministers think so.

"This ......"

Receiving this information, King Jaime was very annoyed, how could Hevines be his favorite daughter, how could he push his own daughter into the fire pit?

However, after three consecutive days of discussion, more than half of the noble ministers who thought that they should agree to the marriage gradually exceeded half.

After all, the rebellion set up by the Duke of Paris had just ended, and no one could afford to experience another big war.

"That...... Leylin, you are the treasurer of the kingdom, do you think we should accept the marriage between the two countries?"

After the discussion of this day reached an anxious state, King Jaime, who had a headache, set his eyes on Zhou Ming, who had never spoken much.

He would appreciate being consulted.

King Jaime asked.

The others stopped arguing and their eyes were on him.

The crowd wanted to hear the treasurer's opinion.

Including Princess Six, who was hiding behind the curtain, also pricked up her ears to hear what he would say.

"This ......"

In the face of so many eyes, Zhou Ming, who has been in a state of soy sauce, had to think for a while and expressed his opinion:

"I think ......"
