"Look at the duke's expression, isn't it stupid, isn't it just a tablet, it's like seeing a ghost." Xu Yanle stared at the computer, looking at the monitoring screen, the two ancient people stared at the tablet with wide eyes. Before the arrival of this duke, he still felt that the ancient duke, who sounded very good, was a provincial governor and commander of the military district in modern times...... But when the duke began to hear the recordings, his limitations as an ancient man were completely exposed.

As a modern person, Xu Yan, who is at the bottom of society and makes a living from pyramid schemes, can have a considerable sense of intellectual superiority in front of this duke.

"Turn the screen brightness to the lowest, how many times have you said it," Wang Youquan held a bowl of instant noodles in his hand, and hurriedly urged Xu Yan, "Also, the search and rescue team explained that you are not allowed to use the computer to play games, did you play again just now?" ”

"Isn't this boring," Xu Yan said, "there's nothing to play here......

"Didn't you say the day before yesterday that you like horseback riding? He also said that he was born to be a general, didn't he still say that he wanted to go to the battlefield? Why did you get cowardly so quickly? Wang Youquan teased Xu Yan while urging him to leave, "Come back early in the evening, and don't go to the brothel!" ”

"Oh, I see, that's verbose." Xu Yan stood up, casually took a large handful of gold coins from a large box on the side and put them in his pocket, and then went out.

After Wang Youquan took over the monitoring position of the command room, he immediately reported to Wu Xiaoqing and the search and rescue team as usual, and Wu Xiaoqing replied: "I'm coming back now, how is the duke?" ”

"I'm still watching the video, it's hard to say," Wang Youquan paid attention to the duke's face, the expression was indeed like Xu Yan said, stupid, no different from a hillbilly entering the city, "But these two people may be hungry...... You hurry up. ”

"What's the hurry? Let them wait for me to come back and cook, they don't listen, this king is a foodie......" Wu Xiaoqing said, "By the way, I forgot to mention it just now, Xu Yan, Xu Yan, are you in the channel?" ”

"In, Angkor, what's the matter?"

"When you go out, go to the north gate first, remember to open the city gate, I have notified the south gate, and the north gate does not know yet. Tell them that from today onwards, the gates will be open 24 hours a day, so that no one from outside the city will not be able to enter. ”

"Got it, Angkor."

"Also, don't let me catch you in the brothel again! Otherwise, you will be like them, and go to the square every day to queue up to eat cakes. ”

"Got it, never again." Xu Yan immediately assured.

"Pay attention to safety on the road," there are some things that Wu Xiaoqing still repeats even if his mouth is rotten, "put on your armor and bring a gun." ”

In the surveillance footage in front of Wang Youquan, the duke had just finished watching those videos, he opened his mouth and began to continue talking. There are no Wu Xiaoqing's glasses here, so naturally there is no translator for the search and rescue team, Wang Youquan can only feel the expressions and attitudes of the two people in the picture to guess whether things are going well.

The king and the duke took turns talking, and judging by the look on the duke's face, he should be the underdog.

As they spoke, the expressions on their faces began to get excited, and the two big men began to hug. This startled Wang Youquan - at first he thought the two were going to fight. The main purpose of his surveillance here is to ensure the safety of the king.

After all, this King of Elise is the most crucial link in their entire operation.

Then their faces were calm, and the duke began to eat and drink. He drank so hard that he looked up at a large glass—the size of a cup here, about the size of a beer bottle on earth.

At this time, the door opened, and Wu Xiaoqing walked in.

"Help me change the battery for the walkie-talkie." Wu Xiaoqing said for a moment, and then hurriedly ran to the toilet to solve the problem. When he returned, he looked at the screen: "Are they done talking?" ”

"I think it's over, but I don't know the outcome yet."

"It shouldn't be worse than we expected, otherwise the duke would be dead by now." This meeting, according to the lowest expectation of the search and rescue team, that is, the duke was imprisoned on the spot, and then the king used these recordings to launch a trial of the duke, and finally accepted the troops and supplies he brought openly.

"Angkor, the king is still waiting for you to give him insulin, he looks like he's hungry."

"He can't die of hunger," Wu Xiaoqing said, "and eats so much every day." You go outside and look at the people who eat the bread...... I've met two more people who died today, have you ever seen them? I was hungry for too long, and I drove hundreds of miles to come here, just to eat the cake, and finally I ate it, and I ate it too quickly, and my stomach was so hungry that I couldn't digest it, and I was stuck in my stomach to death. ”

Wang Youquan didn't think it was strange: "That is, our two generations are really full." Not to mention the technical level here, it was the Republic of China, when my grandfather was still there, he often talked about starving to death. ”

When Wu Xiaoqing walked in, both of them stopped talking, the king just stood up eagerly and came over to greet him, and the duke also stopped eating and looked directly at Wu Xiaoqing.

Wu Xiaoqing went to his room first, opened the medicine refrigerator, found out the insulin, and asked the search and rescue team to ask the king: "Do you want to eat it immediately?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes." The king was almost impatient.

Wu Xiaoqing lifted the king's clothes and gave him a quick injection in the belly. The king immediately went back to the table and began to attack the large swath of food.

"That's it, you're ready to eat?"

"Yes, that's all."

"What did he inject into you?"

"God-given medicine."

Wu Xiaoqing didn't care what the two of them were talking about, it just so happened that he was also hungry, so he simply sat down opposite the duke and began to eat by himself. These dishes have been made for a while, and they are all a little cold. And this king's taste is very heavy, Wu Xiaoqing symbolically ate a few bites, put down his chopsticks and went out on patrol.

Check the power reserves, a couple of guys with hand-cranked generators are not lazy; Go and check with the Chancellor of the Exchequer about today's food distribution, the financial wealth and the price of food, so that the search and rescue team can judge whether there is anything abnormal; Check the number of people who have recently entered the city, and personally ask the soldiers who have gone to the surrounding area to confirm the scale of the population increase in the coming period......

After Wu Xiaoqing had determined all these miscellaneous matters one by one, he returned to the king's place to eat, and the duke had already left the palace. The king seemed to be a little excited, looked at Wu Xiaoqing who came in, and said with rare emotion: "I thought I could convince him." ”

The search and rescue team said: "Then he accepted the second solution?" ”

"Yes," said the king, "he believes that you are gods, but he refuses to believe your judgment of calamity, which he thinks ...... The computer stuff lied to me. ”

I have to say that this duke's judgment is very accurate, perhaps this kind of suspicion and accurate judgment from instinct was once the duke's greatest reliance from a commoner to the most important lord of the Kingdom of Elis, but this time, there is no doubt that this duke will die because of this.

And he died a terrible death.

Knowing of the intentions of the prince and duke, the search and rescue team almost immediately gave the king three suggestions.

One is to kill, anyway, the evidence is in hand, and he is killed for the crime of rebellion.

The second is to stay, to persuade the duke to stay in the royal city of Elis, and the king can even promise to leave the title of king of Elis to this duke, as long as he does not cause trouble to the migration plan.

The three of them go together, which is also the most idealized result. The king persuaded the duke to leave with them and take refuge in the south.

Since the duke has chosen the second option for now, it means that in two months' time, he will have the privilege of seeing his new kingdom engulfed by meteors and magma overnight. A small number of lucky people will die from the direct hit of the eruption fragments, while the vast majority will be choked or buried alive by the volcanic ash.

"The vast majority of people on this continent will die, and there is nothing to be sad about," the search and rescue team comforted the king, "and those who survive are not necessarily better than the dead of them." ”

Especially you, the king, Wu Xiaoqing muttered in his heart, the fate of this king is actually not much better, stage 2 diabetes is already an incurable disease in this era, and insulin itself has a shelf life. Unless they came back regularly to deliver some medicine, the king would have lasted more than a year at most and would have died of severe malnutrition. It's just that he himself may not have thought of this layer at all. Others will not be comfortable, and most people need to survive in the mountains, relying on the transportation of food from the past, and then learn to farm and survive in the mountains.

And that's on the assumption that everything goes well.

"Your Majesty," Wu Xiaoqing handed to the king with a thick stack of IOUs and a blank imperial edict, "Your seal, which was borrowed and sold today. ”

The kingdom stamped the big seal on these IOUs one by one, and with the name of him as a king, there was still a little appeal, and the title of the Kingdom of Elis seemed to have a lot of attraction, and Wu Xiaoqing must turn these into gold as soon as possible, and then turn gold into grain.

"I don't know how to deal with these debts in the future," said the king, with a rare sense of humor, "but they should not dare to come to the door to collect them." ”

"There is no need to worry about the king," said the search and rescue team, "these new lords and officials will definitely be reluctant to follow us, they will accompany the duke, and be completely buried by the volcano." What you need to think about is the Imperial Council in seven days, and once the plan is announced, there will certainly be no shortage of opponents, and you need to be fully prepared to make up your mind. ”

"This is the last thing the divine envoy needs to worry about, as long as I raise the sword in my hand, none of the lords will dare to stand and resist, they will only kneel and beg for mercy."
