0237 How bad is it to fight and kill early in the morning......
I had known that these guys from the Noble Council were planning such a big thing, Xu Zheng would not have been invited at all, politics or something was the most troublesome, and he had never intended to promote the progress of human society in the world of miracles before......
Recalling the various details of dealing with the nobles in the banquet hall before, especially the Marquis Hans deliberately introduced the human identities of Xu Zheng and Qingzi, it is obvious that these guys planned to use the "righteousness" of human social progress from the beginning to force Xu Zheng and others to make a choice, but what the nobles didn't know was that this human being was not another human being, Xu Zheng was an earthling, and he didn't match the daily life of NPCs at all!
Xu Zheng and his entourage, who left the table, were not stopped by the nobles, even if the members of the council were arrogant, they would not blindly stop the footsteps of the dragon clan, and walked out of the marquis's mansion, Xu Zheng sighed with relief and said: "If you want to do a little business, why is it so difficult?"
"The first thing we came into contact with in Anvil was the king, so why don't we skip the council when we do business in the future?" Aoko thought for a moment, "Maybe the members of the council wouldn't have thought that their actions would push us against them. ”
Xu Zheng was silent when he heard this.
Obviously, Qingzi's idea is simple and direct, but after a short contact with these guys in the noble council, Xu Zheng felt a lot of pressure, the nobles' connections are extensive, if these guys want to stumble in the future trade, it is simply a very easy matter.
Moreover, the contact between the noble council and Xu Zheng and others is impossible to hide from the king's ears and eyes, but Augustine has always been extremely laissez-faire to the parliament, and Xu Zheng sometimes can't understand why His Majesty, one of the six extremes of the dignified, would be so tolerant of the parliament, even if it is only by virtue of the personal prestige of the virtuous king, it is not a difficult thing to suppress the parliament.
So...... What exactly was Augustine's idea? This was the most tangled thing in Xu Zheng's heart.
After returning to the guest room of the hotel, after watching his daughter-in-law and daughter fall asleep soundly, Xu Zheng couldn't fall asleep over and over...... Whether it is the unscrupulousness of the council or the forbearance of the king, it is strange, and even if Xu Zheng doesn't want to get involved, he seems to be a little helpless, after all, the large pile of goods in Lilith's space can't be smashed into his hands......
Early the next morning, the king's envoy appeared at the door of the hotel, and after some announcement, Xu Zheng and his party set foot on the road to the palace again.
It's just that this meeting is much more formal than the last hurried arrival, the carriage stopped directly at the door of the main hall, after entering the main hall, Xu Zheng saw His Majesty the King on the throne, Augustine still had a kind smile on his face, and the courtiers standing on both sides, many of whom also had a relationship with Xu Zheng yesterday.
After a few brief greetings, the king ordered someone to move a seat for Xu Zheng and his party, as if he understood the curiosity in Xu Zheng's eyes, Augustine smiled: "It seems that His Excellency Xu Zheng really has no intention of getting involved in human politics." ”
"Was it just a temptation from His Majesty the King yesterday?" Xu Zheng was slightly stunned, but soon came back to his senses, and said with a helpless smile: "This thing can make me not sleep well for half the night." ”
"It's not exactly a temptation......"
Augustine shook his head and said: "If we continue to reduce the power of the king, will it make the life of the people better, this is something I have been discussing with the members of the council for the past two years, although we have tried to a certain extent to give the council more authority, but the effect has been minimal, and it can even be said that it has not met the expectations of both of us......"
Augustine talked eloquently, and Xu Zheng gradually understood why he often felt that something was wrong after coming into contact with humans in the world of miracles.
It turned out that the king and the parliament had reached a consensus a long time ago, and the king's concession in power was only to try to hand over more government to the nobles, whether it would have a better governance effect, and this kind of big event seemed to be just a small but interesting experiment in Augustine's eyes......
After all, Augustine never needed to worry about rebellion, whether it was His Majesty's personal force or the various hidden hole cards, I am afraid that it has long been bottomless......
After listening to Augustine's narration, Xu Zheng found that His Majesty the King did not seem to be as "innocent" as he saw last time, at least conniving at the nobles No matter what he said, he also had some responsibilities, going to the orc court to blackmail money, presumably His Majesty the King also knew the process of the matter early, but in the previous meeting, he pretended not to know anything, and fooled him and the lion's roar.
Well, it doesn't seem like he can bother with that.
Xu Zheng sighed and said helplessly: "We just wanted to do some small business, but we didn't expect His Majesty the King to make things so complicated, from the perspective of a businessman...... I just have a question -- do you want any of the seasonings?"
Augustine was obviously amused by Xu Zheng's attitude, and just wanted to say a few words to ridicule, but suddenly restrained his smile......
Lilith didn't know when she had handed over the Linglong in her arms to Xu Zheng, and her originally dark eyes instantly turned into golden vertical pupils, and the mighty dragon power emanated without any scruples, and the guards around the hall took a few steps back irrepressibly, and drew their swords to protect them.
"Old man, in other words, you deceived us before?" Lily stared at Augustine without any scruples, "Do you think that my husband and I have forbearance with you for granted?"
"Uh, you put away the dragon power first, this is not a negotiation routine......" Augustine hurriedly stood up from the throne, if he didn't stop Lilith, this little guard in the hall would probably be "overturned" by the dragon power of the dragon princess.
"We were going to negotiate with you, but you guys have done so many things that we don't know...... I don't want to talk about it now!" Lilith sneered, "I should let you also deeply understand the fate of provoking the demon dragon, otherwise, you will definitely be like that lion head, thinking that our family is easy to bully!"
Thinking of the blue nose and swollen face of the lion's roar being taught by Lilith before, Xu Zheng had to mourn Augustine in his heart, His Majesty the King may have really played big this time, and it is estimated that if the daughter-in-law really does it, the head of this thing may become bigger than the lion's roar.
"Wait a minute!" Augustine was also completely helpless by the demon dragon's violent temper, and hurriedly roared: "If you want to fight, this is not the place, let's sit down and talk about the trade between the two sides......!
