77 Chapter 77

After many days of negotiations, the negotiations on the repayment of Barbad's mortgage to the Huang Empire in monetary terms finally came to an end.

Nominally, it should be Lian Hongde who negotiates with Alibaba, and the king is against the emperor, but the emperor handed over the task to Lian Hongming in the name of needing more cultivation for his long-term illness.

Barbard's side hopes to strive for favorable conditions as much as possible, at the beginning, the Huang Empire only paid some paper money, which can be used instead of traditional currency in the place where the Huang Empire's paper money circulated, but when Barbad repays the debt, he must have asked for real money, which is a big loss. Barbad has been a commercial maritime trade center since ancient times, and the king himself was usually a very good merchant, and Ali Ba was taught how to do business by the old king himself when he was a child, and also practiced business. Alibaba is still immature, but he has a cadre of ministers and nobles behind him to make suggestions and formulate the conditions for negotiation, showing the true nature of a businessman.

Not to be outdone, the Huang Empire was ruthlessly pitted Abumado, and Barbad's national sovereignty was hollowed out one by one, almost in the pocket of the Huang Empire, if it weren't for the Northern Alliance's sideways intervention, forcing the Huang Empire to rein in the precipice and give up dominating the world, now Barbad may have been annexed by the Huang Empire. promised to return the fat that had been eaten in his mouth, but not because of how powerful a person Barbad was, a fledgling metalware user did not have that much weight, nor because the king of Sinbad supported Barbad, but because of the treaty signed with the Northern Alliance, the Huang Empire was in the process of transformation, and the annexation plan could only be abruptly stopped.

Barbad's mortgage to the Huang Empire will definitely be repaid, but there is a way to repay it, and the Huang Empire naturally wants to obtain as many benefits as possible, and they also feel that they have lost a lot of money by returning Barbad's empty sovereignty.

In this way, the two sides fought a war of words, all kinds of ruffles, Sinbad stood up to support Alibaba, and also gave some more compromise suggestions, the Huang Empire's attitude is very firm, and he doesn't buy it at all, don't look at Lian Hongming is always a decadent look of lack of sleep, there is no ambiguity in the matter, and he can't take advantage of it at all, the two sides are tug-of-war, and the progress of the negotiation is extremely difficult, and he falls into a gelatinous state.

It wasn't until An Le came to Luochang on a state visit that the situation began to change.

Although An Le did not inquire about the negotiations between Barbad and the Huang Empire, nor did she act as a mediator to dredge the two sides, she was in Luochang at this time, like a big stone falling into the water, causing ripples. The Northern Alliance intends to establish a trade partnership with Barbad, and the loan signed by Abumado with the Huang Empire is a huge stumbling block, even if An Le doesn't say anything, Lian Hongming can also think of it.

For this alliance leader who strangled the ambitions of the Huang Empire alive, Lian Hongming was undoubtedly afraid, even if a peaceful coexistence agreement was signed, both sides knew what was going on, and the relationship was not close, because Hongba and Hongyu barely narrowed the distance.

Even Lian Yuyan, who they feared the most, had a hard time planting a heel in the hands of the alliance leader, and they didn't know what it would become.

After all, the alliance leader said that he returned his soul, but who can guarantee that she will return it all, and she will not have that part of it in her hands. He didn't even notice that his soul was stolen in time, and Lian Yuyan couldn't confirm whether the alliance leader had left such a hand. Even if the alliance leader said that he had paid it back, no one believed it, what a good handle, Lian Hongming firmly believed that the alliance leader's spicy plan was interlocking, insidious and cunning, and the city was deep, how could he be so willful, just to export the evil spirit, there must be a backstroke, just waiting for Yuyan to die.

After An Le met Lian Hongming in the garden, the negotiations between Barbad and the Huang Empire suddenly advanced by leaps and bounds.

There is no evidence to prove that An Le played a role in it, and after the negotiation was over, Alibaba still came to the door to thank him in person.

"I really feel that the alliance leader has been helping me!" Ali Baba bowed deeply, people should be dressed in gold, wearing King Barbad's formal clothes, he looked like two people when he was in the slum thieves before, and his whole temperament changed.

"I have been taken care of so much by the alliance leader before, but I didn't expect that after coming to the Huang Empire, I will continue to be taken care of by the alliance leader in order to make the negotiation a successful conclusion, I am really useless. Ali Baba straightened up and smiled bitterly, "When I became King Balbad, I realized that it was not easy to be in this position. ”

"I'm just talking about it, it's because you've been acting that you have got to where you are today, and I didn't care about Barbad's consultation with the Huang Empire. An Le shook his head, although Alibaba has many shortcomings, but it is precisely because he has been running for Barbad and making great efforts that he will finally get his wish, plant melons and get melons, and plant beans and get beans. "It sounds like a lot of insights. ”

"Ah, a lot of insights. Ali Baba suddenly became a little decadent, and said in a low voice: "I joined the Fog Regiment to save Barbad, although it did help many people, but it caused more bad consequences." Standing in this position, I realized that because of the arrogance and rampant arrogance of the fog group, it invisibly encouraged the thieves and villains in other parts of Barbad, resulting in a lot of increase in the crime rate, which made Barbad's already bad national situation worse, and after the economy fell into a downturn, law and order was also rapidly declining, a vicious circle. ”

"After the negotiation with the Huang Empire, in addition to trying to restore Barbad's economy, it is also necessary to train the army and encircle and suppress the bands of thieves who are rampant throughout Barbad and threaten the lives and property of the people. Barbad was not a slave country, but because of the chaos of the economy and law and order, there were many more slave traders, resulting in innocent citizens being taken advantage of the chaos and not knowing where to sell them. ”

An Le looked at him quietly, did not speak, and had nothing to comment on this situation.

Ali Baba perked up and asked a question that he was very concerned about, "I wonder what is going on with the palace guards who have been turned into dark gods?"

"It's still being studied, and I'll let you know when the results are available. ”

"Is that ......" Alibaba pursed his lips and lowered his voice, "Qasim......"

"Huh?" An Le raised an eyebrow.

"I've thought about it, Kassym...... Even if he recovered, Qasim would not be able to stay in Barbad. ”

An Le was surprised, this is really not like Alibaba would say.

"No one instigated me, I thought it for myself. Ali Babba's expression was gloomy, "Although Qasim founded the Fog Regiments for the sake of his fellow slum companions and the suffering poor people of Barbad, in fact, the Fog Regiments have more negative effects, and as the leader of the Fog Regiment, I am equally responsible for this sin." The same sin, I became King of Barbad by blood, and I can atone for my sins in many ways in the future, but Qasim...... If he wanted to atone for his sins, I'm afraid that the noble ministers of Barbad would not accept him at all. If you want to get ahead in Balbad, become an aristocrat, or become a rich man, even if you have my care, you will only fall into an embarrassing situation, isolated by the upper class. ”

"This kind of thing, let's wait until he recovers. I already know the method of El Samey to create the Dark Demon God, but understanding the principle can only add a few points to the certainty of researching the restoration method, and there is no 100% guarantee that it will be restored. It's easier to destroy than to protect, it's easier to rebuild than to repair, and when the Dark Gods were made, El Samey didn't even think about restoring them. You have to be mentally prepared, maybe they will not be able to recover for the rest of their lives, and they will only be monsters forever. An Le somewhat understood what Alibaba meant.

If you want to place Qasim in other countries, there are only two people in Alibaba who can ask for it, one is Sinbad, and the other is her, and the Dark Demon God is all taken in by her, so asking her has become the first choice. She thinks it's too early to say that.

"I understand. Alibaba said in despair, he actually knew in his heart that it was really difficult to say whether he could recover, but he couldn't help but have a bit of luck.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little heavy for a while, An Le opened his mouth to change the topic.

"Congratulations on the successful conclusion of the negotiations. ”

Speaking of this, Alibaba couldn't help but show joy, because of Qasim's gloomy emotions were squeezed out, and many days of hard work finally came to fruition, how could he not be happy, the heavy stone on his heart finally moved away, and Barbad's recovery got off to a good start.

"I will always remember the kindness of the alliance leader!"

Of course, it's a time to raise a glass and celebrate.

An Le held the spirit wine, and Ali Baba held the diluted spirit wine, touched it, and drank it dry in one gulp.

"Of the envoys invited by various countries, only Barbad was particularly cold, and as a transit point for maritime trade, the reaction was really unexpected. I went to Balbad in person, I didn't expect to encounter that kind of thing, the whole process was full of twists and turns, and now that it has come to a successful conclusion, I am also relieved. An Le raised his glass, meaning something.

"When I return to Balbad, I will definitely send an envoy to the Northern Alliance to discuss the establishment of trade cooperation, which is also a precious opportunity for Barbad now. Ali Baba couldn't help but sigh, he seemed to be a little unable to hide his words from the alliance leader who had helped him a lot, and subconsciously wanted to pour out his troubles. "Because Barbad had cut off the sea trade routes, including those with Sindeliya, and now he needs to gradually repair these trade routes if he wants to restart them. In the past, kings traveled from country to country in order to negotiate business, but now I am King Barbad, and I have to work hard. ”

Abumado left Alibaba with a big mess.

"Actually, seeing that the relationship between the princes of the Huang Empire is so good, I am very envious. Ali Baba smiled bitterly, "Brother Abumado has done a lot of things wrong, Brother Sabumado is still willing to intercede for him, I can't do anything to execute Brother Wang, so I have to announce to the public that Brother Sabumado died violently, secretly let him go, and order him to remain incognito and not allowed to return to Barbad." Brother Sabumador left with Brother Abumado, saying that he had failed to fulfill his responsibilities as vice-king, and that he was equally guilty, and that he could no longer enjoy the honor of vice-king, and that I had deprived him of his status and demoted him to a commoner. Now, I'm the only one in the Barbad royal family. ”

Alibaba babbled a lot, maybe it was the spirit wine that made him drunk, and he opened the conversation box and poured out a lot of troubles, it seems that he is no different from the naΓ―ve teenager at the beginning, still depressed by the helplessness of reality, in fact, it is completely different, the distress at that time was because he did not understand the world, and now it is because he knows too much.

An Le didn't say a word, listened to him quietly, watched him unconsciously drink one glass after another, and finally lay down, muttering something inarticulately, and then fell asleep.

His gaze drifted to the side, "Come out." ”

Aladdin, who came at some point, walked out of the door with Morjana.

"His pressure was too much, and after his nerves relaxed, he couldn't help but want to relieve the cathartic pressure, and confiding was one of the ways. The matter is over for the time being, and letting him rest well before returning to Balbad should ease it a little, this kind of thing is mainly self-regulated, and according to Balbad's current situation, there is not much free time for him to relax. ”

Aladdin took a deep look at Alibaba and was worried, "Alibaba has been working very hard, often resting very late, sometimes staying up all night, until dawn to take a little rest, everyone sees it." But I couldn't help him, so I could only persuade him to rest more and take care of his body, but ...... The more I realized the mistakes I had made before, the more Alibaba blamed myself and squeezed myself like a masochist, and I was always worried that one day he would not be able to hold on and fall. No matter how much you persuade you, it's useless if you can't get over it in your heart. ”

"Alibaba is too gentle. Morjana was concise and expressionless.

"Alibaba has taken the responsibility on his shoulders, he is not the only one who makes mistakes, no one will always make mistakes. Aladdin stood in front of Ali Ba Baba who had fallen asleep, looking at his sleeping face, his face full of distress and worry, and sighed deeply, "Ali Baba has pushed himself too hard. ”

"Aladdin, you too. Morjana spoke suddenly, her eyes fixed on Aladdin.

"......" Aladdin was suddenly stunned, did not dare to look into Morjana's eyes, and turned his head.

Companions one or two appeared in a similar abnormality, how could Morjana not notice, Ali Baba forced herself too tightly in her eyes, Aladdin has been worried since he came to Luochang Palace, Ali Baba didn't notice because of his own thoughts, Moljana noticed.

"You also have a lot going on in your heart. There seemed to be a faint sense of frustration in Morjana's voice, "I can't help Alibaba, and I can't help you." ”

Knowing that his companion was blaming himself and being sad, Aladdin hurriedly turned his head to look at her, "There is no such thing! As long as Sister Moore and Ali Baba are here, I am very happy." ”

Morjana took a deep look at Aladdin, didn't speak again, stepped forward and picked up Ali Baba who had fallen asleep, hugged the princess easily, and nodded to An Le, "Excuse me." ”

"Nothing. "An Le doesn't care. Holding a goblet in his hand, he shook it gently, and the spirit wine shook in the transparent glass.

Morjana walked away with Ali Baba in her arms, Aladdin was a step behind, he hesitated to follow, and finally stopped and turned to look at An Le.

"What does Sister of the Alliance Leader think of the Empress of the Huang Empire?" Aladdin tried to knock on the side.

"A dangerous woman. An Le set his eyes on the goblet in front of him, staring at the spiritual wine that swayed along the inner wall of the cup.

"Why?"

"Isn't it dangerous enough to try to summon Il-Ilan into this world?" An Le said lightly.

Aladdin was taken aback and his eyes widened, "How could the alliance leader's sister know about ......?!"

Iliran does not belong to this world, he is a malicious incarnation from Almatolan, and it stands to reason that the people of this world should not know about Ilillan's existence.

"It's not important, it's important to stop that woman from summoning Ilyilan into this world, I don't want to experience the end of the world. An Le narrowed her eyes, knowing what had become of Almatolan from Isunan, but it made her feel very dangerous.

"The conflict between magicians and non-magicians is what attracts Il-Ilan, and even if there is no such person, as long as magicians and ordinary people cannot coexist peacefully, maybe one day Il-Ilan will come again, just like Almatolan. Aladdin did not attribute all the reasons for Almatolan's destruction to Alba's betrayal, but knew from Solomon's wisdom the dangers facing this world, and his heart had been heavy, and now when he finally spoke, his immature face was clouded.

"Magicians and ordinary people?" An Le repeated, a little confused. She didn't understand why the conflict between magicians and ordinary people would attract Il-Ilan, whether it was simply attracted to evil or something else, from Isunan's memory alone, she only saw a tragic story that guessed the beginning but couldn't guess the end, and the righteous partner finally degenerated into the evil camp, and she was simply confused by the black mud.

Aladdin didn't say any more, Almatolan's affairs should be kept secret from the people of this world in principle, although he didn't know how the alliance leader learned about Il-Ilan, but he was willing to believe that the alliance leader was not a bad person, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so let's stop here for the time being, talking about this kind of thing under Alba's nose, the place is too wrong.

He was about to leave when An Le suddenly asked.

"What do you think of Sinbad?"

These words are quite similar to Aladdin's attempt to knock on the side and probe Lian Yuyan from An Le's mouth.

"Uncle Sinbad, he is the king who stands before the people and leads them forward, and I respect him. Aladdin didn't know why, but honestly stated what he thought of Sinbad.

"Yes. An Le nodded.

"Sister Leader ...... Uncle Sinbad?" Aladdin felt something unusual.

"King Sinbad is undoubtedly an excellent king, I should say that he is very open-minded and full of leadership charisma, but ......" An Le looked a little confused, and his voice was almost muttering, "I always think he is a little strange, I can't say that there is anything wrong, but it just feels ...... It just doesn't feel right, maybe it's my delusion......"

At first sight, I had a strange feeling when I saw him, and I thought it was an illusion, but this feeling never disappeared, but became more and more intense, so when she was in Balbad, she actually watched Sinbad all the time, trying to find out what was making her feel wrong. It was not impossible to find a quick solution to Barbad's civil strife, but most of her attention was on Sinbad, and it happened that Ali Baba came to ask for advice, and then it was logical.

"I always feel like he's different from everyone else, right...... It's just to see him at a glance in the vast sea of people...... That kind of ......" gave her goosebumps for no reason. I can't tell if it's a sense of threat or something else.

An Le shook his head in confusion, puzzled, subconsciously took a sip of spirit wine, pondered hard, and threw Aladdin aside.

Seeing her trapped in her own world, Aladdin quietly left.

When Lian Hongba came over, he knew that An Le was drinking as soon as he smelled the smell in the air, and he was deeply impressed by this familiar smell.

An Le leaned lazily on the chair, holding a goblet in one hand and shaking it slowly, she didn't look back when she heard the footsteps, as if she was about to fall asleep, until Lian Hongba sat down next to her, she didn't move, leaned up, and kissed Lian Hongba's lips. Happiness came too suddenly, Lian Hongba was stunned for a moment, responded decisively, and enjoyed the wonderful taste of intertwined lips and tongues.

The goblet in An Le's hand had already been put down, and his two hands grabbed Lian Hongba's palm, his fingers crossed and clenched.

The kiss was unusual and didn't end with the separation, Anle moved down the jaw line, gently gnawing and sucking on his throat, leaving a kiss mark.

And then it stopped.

It happened suddenly, and it ended suddenly.

Lian Hongba didn't think it was strange at all, he had to get used to it, Xiao Anle would transform into something as soon as he drank.

"Big sister, I'm going back to the Northern Alliance~~Make a mark~~~" An Le lay on Lian Hongba's body, touched his cheek, and said with a smile.

"So fast?" Lian Hongba was surprised, and he heard the news coldly.

"You don't need to stay too long, it's just a show for others to see, starting from the Northern Alliance to Luochang, and then returning to the Northern Alliance from Luochang, it takes enough time. ”

"Xiao Anle has only been in Luochang for a few days. Lian Hongba was dissatisfied.

"It's been a long time, and it's strange for others to be over, all in all, it's over. An Le's fair face had a faint flush, her eyes narrowed slightly, the outline of her eyes became slightly narrow, and the subtle changes made her eyes different.

"This imprint will soon disappear. Lian Hongba said quietly.

"Oh~~ Then let's go a little deeper~~"
