Half-elves are mixed-race children born of human and elf marriages, and inherit the advantages from the paternal and maternal bloodlines, and the half-elves have both the tenacious vitality of elves and the vigorous vitality of humans, so their physical recovery ability is generally good. (Please search for the fastest novel website!) After two or three months of recuperation during the voyage, Vina Dubov was no longer in a bad position from the gunshot wound, and when Luo Zhengdao left for the VIP lounge to bathe and change clothes, she ran alone to the commercial street of Zeeland to make a big purchase. By the time the half-elf beauty, who had managed to gather all the items needed for the banquet, saw Luo Zhengdao again, the afterglow cast by the setting sun had already dyed the complex of the Governor's Mansion in various shades of brilliant gold, as brilliant as a colorful impressionist painting.

After packing up the qiē, Luo Zhengdao rode in an ornately decorated four-wheeled carriage, supported by a group of Yaling cuirassiers, to the Governor's residence of Zeeland, and was led by the reception staff all the way, and he took Vina Dubov by the arm and walked slowly into the banquet hall.

"Her Majesty the Queen!"

Luo Zhengdao, who blurted out, had never seen the beautifully dressed Yaling beauty in front of him before, with a graceful and calm bearing, but he knew with his knees that in the Yaling Empire, who was qualified to let the Governor of Zeeland and several high-ranking officials wearing the uniform of the Yaling Admiral walk behind him willingly, who else could be such a woman?

For the well-informed Luo Zhengdao, figuring out the true identity of the mysterious visitor is not a challenge, but the result of normal logical thinking.

The upper and lower houses of the Yaling Empire are certainly the highest legislative bodies, and at the same time have a heavy influence on the formulation of national policies, so to underestimate the authoritative position and far-reaching influence of the Yaling royal family in national affairs is to make a low-level mistake of blinding the eyes of Mount Tai. I don't know if it's because of his fixed mind, when Luo Zhengdao raised his eyes to look at Queen Yaling's appearance, he always vaguely felt that her warm smile was full of feminine softness and charm and the fortitude and toughness of the political family. With such contradictory and disparate temperaments gathered in this talented woman of an alien race, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure when he thought that he had to deal with her next.

After calming down slightly, Luo Zhengdao calmed down the fluctuating feelings, bowed down and said:

"I didn't expect to meet Her Majesty the Queen here, it's a great honor for me."

The actual age is unknown, and Queen Yaling, whose beautiful face and slender figure look not much different from the twenty-eight girls of human beings, covered half of her face with a white feather fan at this moment, and she seemed to smile and said with a meaning:

"Your Excellency, you seem surprised to see me, don't you?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao thought for a moment and replied:

"I didn't know in advance that His Majesty was in Zeeland, and it was rude that I didn't come to visit him in the first place."

"Hehehehe, Your Excellency the Earl is so funny, the welcome banquet is about to begin, please take a seat too!"

Since Queen Yaling deliberately created a relaxed and gentle atmosphere of hospitality, Luo Zhengdao, who had a professional smile on his face, had no reason not to accept it, and immediately nodded and said:

"Thanks to your country's hospitality, then you are welcome."

The territory of the Yaling Empire is vast, with an area of much more than 6 waters, and in addition to the indispensable fruits and vegetables in every meal, the Yaling people are not averse to seafood. This welcome banquet hosted by Queen Yaling had a variety of menus, which were no less than the imperial meals of the Bright Dynasty, which had already disappeared.

Influenced by the light taste of Yaling, the cooking techniques of these dishes are very close to the value orientation of Old World Cantonese cuisine that focuses on seasonal freshness and natural flavor, and specific to the taste of individual dishes, those special spices that meet the taste and aesthetic taste of Yaling will also be added to the cooking process, and those traditional cooking techniques that do not add any spices and are pure and sweet. Despite the sumptuous nature of the welcome feast, it was a pity that the people who ate were distracted, and even the delicacies could not whet their appetites, and everyone was secretly concerned about the whispered conversation between Queen Arling and Count Froue, and what topics they were discussing.

No matter what world it is in, the banquet is all about pomp and circumstance rather than the taste of the dishes, and the guests and hosts present at the table move each dish and drink two glasses of wine, and the meal is finished, and the real theme of the banquet is how to cut the bargain of future gains.

Knowing that he was not here to eat, after tasting Yaling's special food a little, Luo Zhengdao put down the crystal glass full of sparkling wine in his hand, he smiled slightly, and said to Queen Yaling, who was sitting on the main seat:

"What your country wants from me, I probably already know, so what do I need, I wonder if you also know it?"

The sky-high asking price, landing to pay back. Political negotiations are such a dirty thing, and the occasions when the big bosses sit down to negotiate are no different from those underworld bigwigs slapping the table and talking about numbers, which is nothing more than trying to suppress the opponent at the level of moral public opinion first, and then sit on the ground and try to get more benefits back. Those official articles that have been sacred and inviolable since ancient times are all for laymen, and if there is no trade-off, then everyone will sit down and talk about a bird! Luo Zhengdao, who studied classical politics, is undoubtedly a fake expert who specializes in talking on paper in the field of practice, but when it comes to pretending, he is also a clear man!

The graceful Queen Yaling's smile was always the same, even after hearing Luo Zhengdao's slightly vulgar question, she also maintained her demeanor as a great power lord very well, and said softly:

"Your Excellency the Count has put aside the dignity and honor of nobility to engage in the profession of pirate, and it seems that you are determined to accomplish the goal of restoring your country. Money, weapons, food, these are indispensable strategic resources, and my country is happy to help its friends. ”

"What is the price I have to pay?"

Single-handedly raised a rhetorical question, Luo Zhengdao's attitude seemed extremely strict and serious, even if he had no feelings for the Bright Dynasty at all, but this kind of thing also had to distinguish scales, and if one didn't play well, he would be burned, and it would be inevitable to be ruined at that time.

In the history of the old world, Shi Jingjiao's kind of emperor who had been stinking for thousands of years was not worth it at all, and he was notorious, and Chairman Wang's curve to save the country also left a thousand years of infamy behind him, which is really infamous! The reason for this is not the fact that they betrayed the country itself, but because the price of the sale is too low and the specific operation methods are too clumsy. For example, the same was to bow to the alien race under the soldiers in the city, and paid the price of the rich woman in exchange for a short period of peaceful recuperation, Tang Taizong completely washed away the stain on his body with an epic brilliant victory in a few years, and directly captured the Eastern Turkic Zhuli Khan as a prisoner and performed a dance for the guests of various countries at the banquet. Although in essence, the White Horse Alliance signed by Tang Taizong is a standard traitorous behavior, but compared with Shi Jingjiao and Wang Jingwei, the two juniors who are not proficient in learning and art, it is really a judgment.

The past does not forget the teacher of the future, not to mention other factors, just with Luo Zhengdao's self-esteem as a traverser, it is impossible for him to tolerate himself to be reduced to the point of being on a par with the garbage on that road.

At this time, Queen Yaling's smile was still bright, and she said softly:

"If the Guangming Dynasty is successfully restored, our country hopes to open up the free trade of the main 6, no longer restrict trade to the original five ports, and all restrictions on the export of special products will also be abolished, and the rights and freedoms of our merchants in the main 6 need to be effectively protected."

Hearing these conditions, Luo Zhengdao's smile was so strange that the onlookers couldn't understand why, he immediately restrained his smile and said in a low voice:

"Okay, I understand all these provies, please tell me the point!"

Hearing this, Queen Yaling, whose face changed slightly, exchanged glances with several important ministers around her, and said:

"It is one of the prerequisites that His Excellency the Earl may receive assistance from our country, provided that he accepts the title of our country."

The competition between the major powers intending to dominate the world is comprehensive and protracted, and it is a marathon long-distance race, which is not a short day. Those strategic plans with a ten-year cycle are only short-term behaviors, and the real national policy is to measure success or failure in a hundred years, so the phrase "a hundred-year plan" is often quoted and overflowing, causing many people to disagree. Now, the price offered by Empress Yaling is not out of Luo Zhengdao's psychological expectations, he is also from a political background, although he is not as scheming as those who practice it, one step is counted as ten steps, and he can accumulate experience points if he watches more plays!

In the history of the old world, there have been countless sudden changes, whether it is a cliché official article that can be on the stage, or a variety of secret shady transactions that cannot be put on the table, for researchers standing in the lower reaches of the long river of history, it is just a cheap material for them to idle and idle to talk about and cheat manuscript fees.

The so-called political zhì is a science used to analyze how these decision-making scenes are developed in front of and behind the scenes, and in a certain way, the political zhì can be regarded as the culmination of human intrigues. Similar to the Munich Agreement before the outbreak of World War II, Britain and France jointly betrayed the Czech Republic, compared with those shady deals that really did not see the light, it is tantamount to fireflies competing with the scorching sun.

In the process of thinking for a short time, Luo Zhengdao, who is well versed in the determinism of strength, was ready to deny the promise at some point in the future, and then he nodded and said:

"Yes, I agreed."

"Very well, we will do our best to support His Excellency the Earl's efforts to restore the Bright Dynasty."

Luo Zhengdao hid all his black thoughts, he raised his wine glass with a smile, stood up and said loudly:

"Thank you for the generous hospitality of Her Majesty the Empress, your friendship will be forever remembered by mankind, and you have earned my friendship and respect. Ladies and gentlemen, for the prosperity of the Yaling Empire and the health and beauty of Her Majesty the Queen, please cheer everyone! ”

When the second half of the toast was heard, the guests also stood up and drank all the wine in their glasses, and this luxurious feast was indeed a joy for the guests and hosts.
