"Ahem, ahem?"
Seeing everyone's distraction, Long Aotian could only cough helplessly, hoping to wake everyone up and stop losing their minds.
As Long Aotian's cough sounded. At this time, everyone felt their gaffe. After an embarrassing wry smile, the dinner party was once again lively. It's just that at this time, everyone's hearts are obviously no longer above this dinner. From time to time, Long Aotian can find that many people's eyes are drifting to Park Xiyan.
"Let me tell you about it. This one next to me is a sister I recently recognized. Her name is Park Hee-yeon. β
As everyone's thoughts were pulled back, Long Aotian took Park Hee-yan to the center of the banquet palace and introduced it to everyone. Be the first to update
After hearing this, Link and the others naturally didn't react. But some of the rest were amazed. Park Hee-yeon and Long Aotian were originally engaged to a relationship, but now they have become a brother and sister relationship, which is enough to surprise everyone. Especially after seeing Park Hee-yan's face, everyone felt a burst of doubt. You must know that such a beautiful woman is difficult to refuse no matter who she is. How could Long Aotian make up his mind to make the whole decision.
Although it was a surprise. But Long Aotian's words have been spoken, and everyone can't show nothing at all. As Long Aotian's words fell, warm applause broke out to congratulate him. Be the first to update
"Hey, hey?? Autean. When did you take on such a sister? Hahaha it's not easy. That's right. I am Long Aotian's brother. I'm older than him, to be exact. So since you're Aotian's sister, you're definitely my sister. Call my brother to listen. β
As the applause fell, Luo Lin didn't know when he had come to Long Aotian's side. I saw that he carefully observed Park Xiyan for a while and then said with a wicked smile. Of course. The kind of ambiguous look contained in it was something that Long Aotian could see. Then he said to Park Hee-yan even more brazenly.
Looking at Luo Lin's appearance, Long Aotian was speechless again. He really didn't know where Rollin got so much courage to do something like this every time. I feel even more helpless, perhaps because I am about to be misunderstood by everyone this time. It seems that everyone has misunderstood what they meant.
"Aotian. Hey, hey, it's amazing. I got one so quickly. I can understand that, though. After all, there is a risk that this will cause displeasure to Frost and my sister. It's a good choice to think of it as a sister. When the time comes, everything will fall into place. β
Just as Long Aotian was sighing, he saw Luo Lin walk up to him and whisper with a wicked smile. As soon as these words came out, Long Aotian smiled bitterly. More and faster chapters are here. Looks like everyone thinks so.
"Believe it or not. It's not what you think, anyway. Okay, it's getting late, let's all sit down. β
Perhaps knowing that the more he explained, he would only make himself more and more black, so Long Aotian still chose to remain silent and did not make any explanations.
The dinner party hesitated, and Park Hee-yeon's participation added a bright color, but at the same time, it also distracted everyone's attention. At this time, Long Aotian also knew that even if he said anything important here, he might not be able to attract everyone's attention. So he had to give up his earlier plan to complete some handover matters at the dinner, so he had no choice but to change it to after the dinner. More and faster chapters are here.
After nearly an hour of dinner, it was not too late to look at the sky outside. So the crowd ended the dinner.
"Hee-yan. You go back first. I have a little thing to discuss with you here, and I'll go back later. You don't have to wait for me. β
Looking at Park Xiyan beside him, Long Aotian whispered. Now that the dinner party is over, it's natural to get down to business.
After nodding his head obediently, Park Hee-yeon did not show any dissatisfaction, and took the lead to leave this side under the protection of Giraud and walked towards his residence.
Park Hee-yeon's departure couldn't help but make everyone present a little disappointed. Even if he knew that Park Hee-yeon couldn't have intersected with him, everyone still hoped to see her more, after all, beauty is eye-catching, and sitting here is better than nothing.
"Alright. Now our dinner is over. Now let's talk about the handover. Since His Majesty's decree has said that we should complete the handover as soon as possible and return to the imperial capital as soon as possible, we should not delay time. β
As Long Aotian spoke, everyone knew that business was about to begin. So they all abandoned the slightest thought just now and devoted themselves to the current thing.
"Yes. That's right. We've been waiting for you here for days. Now you're finally here. In that case, let's hand it over. It's not a thing that so many of our soldiers stay here all the time. β
As Long Aotian spoke, Sinzina also said in agreement. After all, the current affairs here can be said to have nothing to do with them. I don't know how to deal with these political matters, so it's better to leave them to these experts.
The words of the two were also agreed by all the officers. Lately, they've dealt with these things they don't even know about, and they're already a head or two. I wish I had left this place sooner. Be the first to update
"Good. Since General Long has said so, let's hand it over. β
The group of people from the imperial capital also nodded in agreement after hearing Long Aotian's words. That's what they're here for. In this case, it is better to finish it as soon as possible, and it is better to explain to the superiors.
"The handover has now been completed. So all that's left is the Marchilan Kingdom here. There are thirteen provinces in the kingdom of Marchilan. It's all in our hands now. Except for the Roland City on this side and the two towns next to it, which are heavily guarded, we have only sent two thousand cavalry infantry to maintain the order in each of the remaining provinces. For the post-war Marchelan, the situation is still very unstable. Immediate and vigorous reforms and reassurances are needed. These are things that we are not good at. So it's up to you to do it. Here we will leave 3,000 soldiers in each province here to help you maintain order. The rest of the soldiers will go to our army as soon as the handover is completed. What do you see? β
After pondering for a while, Long Aotian introduced the current situation to everyone, and then said his plan.
"Yes. General Long was right. Three thousand soldiers per province were enough. We'll be able to raise our own army over here. The second batch of people sent from the imperial capital was responsible for forming an army. They're coming soon. When they come, the army is formed, and your soldiers will be able to retreat slowly. β
After listening to Long Aotian's words, those people sent by the imperial capital nodded their heads, indicating their agreement with Long Aotian's approach.
Now that the two discoveries have agreed on the basics, the rest of the things are naturally simpler. The rest of the matter was handed over to Link. Because the affairs of the Macky Blue Kingdom are basically handled by him and Ster, Long Aotian has not gone into it deeply, so it is difficult for him to speak. γ
After discussing for nearly an hour, everyone's desks were full of bits and pieces of documents, and after finally finishing some major matters. Now all that's left is the little things. Of course. These things will have to wait until tomorrow Link himself will lead them to understand and hand over. Basically, the handover went quite smoothly.
This concludes today's meeting after discussing these matters. It can be said that the rest of the things now basically don't need Long Aotian to deal with them personally. Leave these things to Link.
The next day. Under Link's leadership, he carried out a series of handovers with the personnel sent by the Imperial Capital on some documents and details in the Macchie Blue Kingdom. These things were finally done after a day of processing. The most important decision is to start a full handover tomorrow. Megève led an army of 10,000 to assist in Roland. In each of the remaining provinces, there were three thousand soldiers left behind. As for those officials who were handed over, it was up to Long Aotian to send them to the designated place to carry out the handover. The rest of the army was led by Long Aotian and Xinzina back to Xuanwu City. Of course, the soldiers sent by the Kirin Legion and the Sixth Legion to assist them have all returned to their own armies.
After calculating it like this, Long Aotian's heart couldn't help but feel heavy. Since the beginning of the war, their Xuanwu Legion has sent nearly 200,000 troops to the battlefield. But now, in addition to the 49,000 people who stayed on the side of the Maqilan Kingdom and the 20,000 wounded soldiers who were the first to leave, as well as the remaining more than 10,000 soldiers on the side of the Wa Kingdom who were the first to go back, Long Aotian and the people they could bring back were indeed less than 50,000 people. They lost more than 70,000 brothers in this battle.
Of course. There are also the Qilin Legion and the Sixth Legion, each of which has a lot of losses.
While Link and the others were busy dealing with the handover, Long Aotian and the others were not idle. They were the first to start putting the army in order. As long as the handover was completed, they could immediately leave for Xuanwu City. As for returning to the imperial capital, of course, it will have to wait until I return to Xuanwu City to complete a series of things.
According to Long Aotian's estimation, as long as he stays here for three days in the end. The Three Days Fire, the whole Machi-blue thing, basically they can get rid of it. When the time comes, it will be when they return to Xuanwu City.
