Chapter Forty-Four: Another City

The time goes back to February 6, 140 years of the new calendar, and the Divine Selection Pavilion of the Bluestone Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

At that time, the letter with the Foreign Secretary's speculation had not yet been sent to King Elt, and Leah, who had not seen the Foreign Secretary before, calmed down a little and began to regret the delay in the affairs of the state because of her temperament.

She couldn't leave her room without Yun Xin's permission. She felt that it was impossible for Yun Xin to let her go to see the foreign minister of her country, so she could only send the maid of the Qingshi Palace to find the foreign minister and want to know why he came to the Kingdom of Byrons. The Foreign Secretary saw that the maid was from the Bluestone Palace, and roughly guessed Leah's situation in the Byron family. While sighing secretly, he could only tell the maid in an official tone that he had come to discuss military assistance with the Kingdom of Byrons.

With the Foreign Secretary's knowledge of Leah, as long as she heard these words, she knew what she was here for. Leah lived up to his expectations, knowing that the Foreign Secretary had arrived on January 30th, and that if Mel had accepted the Elt Kingdom's request for assistance, the Foreign Secretary would have already left for Lorton.

Leah knew that the Elt Kingdom would soon officially declare war on the Mingji people's country, and she also knew what the Elt Kingdom was most worried about and needed in this war. In the face of the fierce battle, the Elt Kingdom needed a large number of muskets to reduce the losses of the siege troops, and now only the Kingdom of Byron could meet the requirements of the Elt Kingdom. Because the number of muskets they needed was so great that other advanced musket-producing countries would not even sell them, let alone give them away.

Now that the Kingdom of Byron has just married the Kingdom of Elt, the relationship between the two countries, which has no conflict of interest, is stable and is steadily approaching the honeymoon period. By refusing to supply arms to the Kingdom of Elt at such times, it is clear that he does not trust the Kingdom of Elt.

Leah believes that Mel distrusts the Kingdom of Alt because she is unruly and threatens the rule of the Byrons family over the Kingdom of Byron and the Kingdom of Tayron. She felt that since she was at fault, she should find a way to make up for it.

In the afternoon, Leah took a serious bath, put perfume on her body, and asked the maid of the Bluestone Palace to invite Maier to dinner with her. On this night, Mel had business to attend to and did not accept Leah's invitation. Leah was a little angry, thinking that Maier was putting up a fight, but for the sake of state affairs, she still endured it, and whispered to begging Maier to have lunch with her tomorrow. Mel was quite busy at the time, and he thought that there would be nothing to do tomorrow at noon, so he casually accepted Leah's invitation.

That afternoon, Lan Ning went to the headquarters of the new shrine to find Lingyu. She said that Lan Xian had been getting more and more wrong lately, and whenever she was free, she would take the sword that Maier had given her, and stare at it without saying a word, and her mental state was getting worse day by day.

She asked the witch to come and check on Lan Xian, and the witch said that Lan Xian was currently in a state of severe malnutrition and had gastrointestinal problems. Zhu Wunu asked Lan Xian when and how much she ate last time she ate, Lan Xian thought for a long time, and replied blankly that she had eaten last night, ate a fist-sized piece of dry food, and drank a little water.

It was evening when Lan Ning asked the witch to check Lan Xian's body, which meant that Lan Xian hadn't eaten all day. Zhu Wunu asked Lan Xian if she was hungry, Lan Xian shook her head, and said that if she was not hungry, she had to eat a little, otherwise she would have no strength.

Zhu Wunu felt that Lan Xian had a heart disease, and hoped that Lan Ning could persuade her more. Where will Lanning persuade people? It took her several days to figure out what kind of heart disease Lan Xian had, and in the end she could only come to Ling Yu for help.

Lan Xian is Ling Yu's cronies, and as a well-known "big witch who protects the short", it is impossible for Ling Yu to let Lan Xian continue like this. She immediately asked Lan Ning to ask for leave for Lan Xian and brought Lan Xian to her. Early the next morning, Lan Ning took Lan Xian to the headquarters of the new shrine. Ling Yu brought Lan Xian into the room to talk alone, and the conversation lasted all morning, and then Ling Yu left Lan Xian in the room and hurriedly found the Qingshi Palace.

When Ling Yu came to the Bluestone Palace, Maier had not yet finished his official business. Tar comes to report to Mel that Lingyu has something important to discuss with Myr. It was time for lunch, and Maier weighed the situation on both sides and decided to go to Leah's room for a later dinner.

The maid of the Bluestone Palace informed Leah that Maier would not come to the banquet later, and Leah felt more and more that Maier was deliberately putting on a show, and she was very angry. On the other side, Lingyu, who was talking to Meier, was also angry.

"Your Majesty, I'm serious about talking to you about this!"

"I know, I know, Lord Lingyu."

Mel rubbed his swollen temples and smiled helplessly.

"Didn't I make it clear? I don't mean that to Colonel Lan Xian, as long as you convey my original words to her, won't the matter be settled?" ā€

"Your Majesty, how can you say such a thing!" Ling Yu said angrily, "Lan Xian didn't think about tea and food because of this matter, and his body was about to be starved!" What's your nonchalant attitude? Could it be that for you, Lan Xian is just a tool used to lead troops into battle? ā€

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that-"

"That's what you mean!"

"Lord Lingyu, please calm down. What I just meant was that I want you to come forward and solve this matter, not to dump it all at you. This matter was a misunderstanding from the start, and it would have complicated things if I had come forward to talk to Colonel Lan Xian personally. ā€

Lan Xian will have a misunderstanding because of a sword, not because she has a crush on Maier, who has something that is easily misunderstood. Among his wives, Ira's women were the most numerous. And among his irato wives, the proportion of shrine maidens was as high as three-quarters.

Including Yu Mingli, there were four wives of the Ira people in Meier, about one-third of the total number of princesses. Xiaoxiao and Xiaoye are both from the Evil Witch, but in essence, the Evil Witch is also a Witch because they are inaugurated according to the procedure. Zhenxin is a genuine shrine maiden.,And also did the great shrine maiden of the shrine.怂 In this case, there will definitely be people who will think that Maier has a habit in this area, and it is strange that Lansen, who is an Ira's shrine maiden, suddenly receives a sword that Maier used.

In addition, Lan Xian and Maier have known each other earlier than most princesses, although the two have not met since then, but both have left a deep impression on each other.

For Meyer, a buyer who buys the goods and then asks the seller to smash them is too strange for him to remember without remembering the other party. For Lan Xian, Mair is the one who is connected to the oracle, and it is impossible for her to forget the other party. What would you think if one day, someone of the opposite sex who impressed you and had an extraordinary status suddenly gave you a gift that seemed valuable to you?

Maybe some people don't take it seriously, which is normal, but people who think about it are still in the majority. This mentality is often referred to as "Does he or she like me?" This is not self-inflicted, but just accidentally confusing the beautiful vision with reality.

This is the case with Lan Xian. By all accounts, Mel was a very good man. He has status, power, wealth, good character, good looks, popularity, and responsibility, and is an ideal marriage partner. Sensually, Lan Xian doesn't hate this man either. If Mel wanted to marry her, she would certainly not refuse.

However, the reality is that Mair is gone after giving her a saber, because he doesn't mean anything about it. Lan Xiankong was overjoyed, but she didn't want to accept the reality. She pondered over and over again that the purpose of Maier giving her the sword was not to come up with an answer, but to escape from reality.

Spirit Feather wanted Maier to come forward and explain things clearly, but as Maier had just said, this would only complicate things. No matter what Lan Xian thought in her heart, it was all her personal speculation, and Maier had never made an obvious statement, and the two sides had never communicated about it. If at such a time Maier suddenly appeared in front of her and said to her in a serious manner, I just want to pay you a sword, and there is no other meaning, the scene will become very embarrassing.

At that time, Lan Xian had only two reactions. The first is to think that they are self-inflicted and deeply hurt; The second is to think that there are no three hundred taels of silver in this place, but to have greater expectations. Either way, it would not be beneficial to Lan Xian, so Maier asked Lingyu to come forward to solve the problem.

It took a lot of effort for Mai to make Lingyu understand what he really thought. After this, Ling Yu's little face was slightly red, and his gaze at Maier was slightly shy.

"I'm very sorry, but I blamed Your Majesty...... I didn't expect His Majesty to be so gentle with girls, and he would put himself in the shoes of girls...... I owe it to me what I said just now, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me......"

"It's okay, Lord Lingyu is also worried about the bodies of his subordinates, I can understand that."

Seeing that the problem was solved, Mel breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to go to Leah's for lunch. Mel didn't notice that as he left the office, Lingyu was looking at his back stupidly. Lingyu didn't realize this either, and when she found that her heart was beating fast to an outrageous level, Mel had already disappeared from her sight.

When Mel arrives at Leah's room, it's past lunchtime. Leah had been waiting for him, making him very guilty. Mel doesn't like Leah and is even on guard against her, but a broken appointment is a broken appointment, and Mel won't make excuses for her broken appointment.

"I'm sorry I'm late."

From the moment Mel enters the room, Leah is smiling, and Mel can't tell if she's angry or not. After Maier sat down to apologize, Leah said with a relaxed face that it didn't matter, and then asked the maid of the Bluestone Palace to serve the food.

Because of the spirit feather, Maier was delayed a lot of time. The kitchen had prepared the food before lunchtime, and by the time Mel came to Leah, the food was already cold. Leah didn't know when Mel would come, so she didn't dare to let the kitchen heat it, so she had to wait for Maier to come before letting the kitchen heat it.

While waiting for the food, Leah hurried to talk to Maier about business. She wanted to get to the bottom of Myr, and wondered why he didn't accept the Elt Kingdom's request for assistance. In response to Leah's temptation, Maier naturally wanted to be vague, repeatedly saying that there was no surplus arms in the country to support the allies.

Seeing that Maier was perfunctory, Leah could only lower her posture again and analyze the current situation for Maier.

The Kingdom of Byron unites the Kingdom of Tairong, backed by the Ilibi Alliance, and the Kingdom of Egus as a reliable ally, and seems to be at ease. However, it should not be forgotten that the ideology of the Kingdom of Byron was very close to that of the Ilibians, who in turn had a clear contradiction with the other major races of the New World.

The overall strength of the Ilibi is the strongest among the eight major races, and they are the objects of vigilance among the other major races. When necessary, the other major races will band together against the Ilibis. At that time, the Ilibi League was too busy to take care of itself, and it could not care about the life or death of the Kingdom of Byron at all.

Even if the Ilibians were not at war, the kingdom of Byron was not completely safe. The weakness of the Kingdom of Byron is obvious, a small country with few people, no strategic depth, as long as it is attacked by a strong opponent, once the support of the Ilibians is not timely, the Kingdom of Byron will definitely be finished.

So far, the Kingdom of Byron has been fighting outside its borders, and it does not dare to let the flames of war spread to the country. Because the population of the Kingdom of Byron is too small, once the enemy destroys the country at any cost, the Kingdom of Byron will be greatly damaged, and it will not even be able to relieve its breath for decades.

Even if it was fighting outside its borders, the Kingdom of Byron needed the cooperation of the Allies. In the first battle of Chaoxin, the total number of casualties of the Kingdom of Byron exceeded 11,000, of which 8,165 were killed or permanently disabled. Leah didn't know the casualty figures of the Byronic Kingdom, but judging by Myer's policy of strongly encouraging marriage and reputation, the battle hurt the Byronic Kingdom a lot.

Therefore, for the Kingdom of Byrons, before the problem of manpower is completely solved, war must be avoided if it can be avoided. If you want to avoid war completely, you must seek the protection of powerful powers. Although the Ilibi Alliance is strong, the only Ilibi allies that can really help the Byron Kingdom are the Republic of Bukin, and the other Ilibi allies are too far away from the Byron Kingdom to support them at the first time.

The Kingdom of Urgus, another reliable ally of the Kingdom of Byrons, is stronger than the Republic of Bukin, but even if the two countries are combined, they are not as reliable as the Kingdom of Elt. For the sake of the country's stability, Mel must have good relations with the Kingdom of Elt. The Kingdom of Byron is backed by the Ilibi Alliance, as long as the Kingdom of Byron does not die and the Ilibi League is not defeated, it is impossible for the Kingdom of Elt to do anything to the Kingdom of Byrons.
