Elizabeth I's request was simple – that I should do my duty as a courtier, to the British Empire, to the British Crown, and indeed to herself.

But unfortunately, she didn't say a word about the previous deal with the Spaniard, let alone compensation, which shows that she didn't take my loss or anger too seriously.

Perhaps it seemed to her that since the victory over Spain, all of Europe, or even the whole of it, she had no real opponent, so in the back of her consciousness she did not feel the slightest guilt for owing me something.

Since that's the case, I really don't need to have more intersections with her, maybe it's best for everyone to go their separate ways.

But it is clear that Elizabeth I did not have this realization, and she sent Isabella anyway, perhaps this is her way of showing her sincerity - I have sent my dearest niece, does this not represent my sincerity?

Perhaps until this time, Elizabeth I had this idea, but Isabella, who was sitting across from me, was not at all at all.

She felt my anger deeply, and although my expression was calm, the anger hidden in the depths of her smile was clear and clear.

"Qilan, the queen is old, can you understand her more? After all, she has lived alone all her life, and it is normal to have some stubbornness, right? Isabella was almost pleading.

But I remained unmoved.

You can have a personality, but why be willful to me?

In other words, why am I used to you? You and I are using each other, what kind of loyalty are we talking about? What do you have to say? How can there be so many should or shouldn't?

So I smiled and replied to Isabella: "Of course, I understand!" I understand very well - it is better for you to go back and tell Her Majesty that I understand her distress, and I wish her eternal youth and happiness! That's no problem, right? ”

Isabella had a helpless and bitter expression on her face, she knew that I sounded righteous and resolute, but in fact she had no intention of continuing to cooperate with them at all, and this did not match the queen's request at all.

"Don't you really care about the friendship back then? The queen has been thinking about you every day all these years, don't be angry, can you? "Isabella still tried to persuade me to go back.

It's a pity that I'm not the simple me I was back then, after so many ups and downs, I have long lost the desire to go to uninformed friendship, especially for these superiors - Elizabeth I is more capable than Zhu Yijun, but this does not mean that she is more emotional than Zhu Yijun!

I traveled all the way back to the Ming Dynasty, just for the stability of his Zhu family, but what did I get?

Treachery! Treachery! Treachery!

Isn't it the same here in Elizabeth I?

Isn't it also betrayal to make peace with the enemy and ignore my interests?

So I stood up, straightened my collar, and made a very elegant gesture to the door: "It's getting late, I'm tired." It's very clear, why don't you leave it at that, okay? ”

This is a clear eviction order, Isabella's face changed suddenly, she looked at me deeply, and said in a thick threatening tone: "You will regret it!" ”

I snorted and said disdainfully: "If the plan fails, the true face will be revealed?" ”

Isabella was silent, I sat down slowly, and said coldly: "In that case, you go back and tell Elizabeth that if you have any tricks, just use them!" It's just that I'll give you the same sentence - you, too, will regret it! ”

Isabella's face changed suddenly, she didn't expect things to develop to this point, maybe what she said just now was not what she wanted to say, but she had already said it, and there was a sense of being overwhelmed in it.

"Alright! Leave! Isabella stopped talking, turned around and walked out of my room.

Has it finally come this far? I sat there and sneered softly.

Half a minute after Isabella went out, the door rang again, and the footsteps were heard, it was Lakshin's.

I answered, and Rakshin pushed the door open, walked up to me, and sat down opposite me at my signal, where Isabella was sitting.

"Talks collapsed? Mr. Lakshin's expression was very calm, and it was obvious that he had guessed everything, but he did not look nervous.

"yes, the preliminary talks have collapsed." I changed my glass and poured a glass for Lakshin: "They want to be a dime, how can I be a fool who fools around?" ”

Lakshin nodded: "Presumably the second wave of negotiations will come soon, what are your plans, sir?" ”

"Intended?" I pouted and smiled, "What can I do?" The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. It's Elizabeth who is uncomfortable now. ”

Rakshen nodded slightly: "Indeed, she should be quite helpless at this time." Although our strength cannot be compared to that of the UK, we have an advantage that others do not have, and that is flexibility! Being an enemy of us will cause them to suffer unforeseen harm in one way or another, so Elizabeth is absolutely unwilling to completely tear her face with us until the last step! ”

I stood up, walked to the window, looked at the fire in the distance, and sighed, "But even so, there are some things we can't afford to guard!" In case Elizabeth jumps over the wall and wants to make an example of me, if she is not prepared, I am afraid that she will be caught off guard! ”

"Exactly, sir, I am here for this purpose." Rakshen replied, "I guess the gentleman has already made up his mind, but I am too worried." ”

I turned around and smiled, "Your idea is not a false conjecture, I have actually made arrangements. ”

Rakshen arched his hand and said, "I want to hear about it!" ”

I stretched out three fingers and replied with a smile, "In order to deal with this situation, I have made a total of three preparations. ”

"First, I sent someone to contact Henry, and after all, Elizabeth was not afraid of me, but feared that the French navy would be big. So that's not something I should worry about, and even if I do, Henry should worry about it! ”

"What will His Majesty Henry do?" Laksin asked.

"The affairs between countries are not just a military contest, but a contest of comprehensive strength. He knew that I was threatened by Elizabeth I in order to support him in this matter, and he would definitely lend a hand. After all, everyone is watching, if he drops the chain in this matter, who else will dare to do things for him in the future? ”

Rakshen laughed: "It is true that France has always been secretly competing with Britain. In this case, if His Majesty Henry destroys the Great Wall by himself, he is afraid that the momentum will collapse in the future, and one wrong step will be taken. So the gentleman's consideration is quite in place. ”

I picked up my glass and shook it gently, and continued: "Second, I asked Youxi to return to the Netherlands as soon as possible, and contact the chambers of commerce in the North Sea through the Dutch East India Company to squeeze and threaten the British commercially, cutting off their back road to the north. ”

Rakshen snorted, looked at me and said: "Britain is actually self-destructing the Great Wall this time, originally the Netherlands and Britain are each other's lips and teeth, but at this time, because of scruples, Britain and the Netherlands have a dirty relationship, how can they continue to cooperate in the future?" It works! ”

"As for the third ......" I looked at Laksin and smiled devilishly: "I have asked the Mexicans to make a special trip to Seville......"

"What to do in Seville?" There's something strange about Laxin. Frowning and thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized: "Sir, are you going to negotiate with old Alfred for the second time at this time?" ”

I couldn't help laughing and said, "It's a pleasure to talk to you!" No matter what, it's just a little bit clear! Good! Wait for Mo's intelligence to come back, I won't go to this negotiation, you can go to see old Alfred for me. ”

Lakshin fell into deep thought again, and only after a long time did he say, "You want to avoid suspicion?" That's right, at present, we are like glue with France, and we are cold with the British, and the Jedi can no longer be entangled with Spain! It's definitely wise for you to take a step back in this matter. Just don't know what exactly your specific requirements are? ”

I pushed open the window and let the cold wind outside blow into the room.

"My request? Actually, I don't have any requirements, I just want to have one more way. Where is the future? I don't really know, I don't lack money and I don't lack space to run a business, but I hope to be able to walk together again in the future. I mean, of course, capable friends. ”

Laxon walked up behind me, and he knew my thoughts perfectly. There's a long way to go, and I don't know where to go home. France, yes? It can be counted now, but it may not be in the future.

If there is a way that is not of my race, its heart will be different. We have a close relationship with Henry, but what about after Henry? There is a way that once a son of heaven and a courtier, when the time comes, if the sky changes, how should we deal with ourselves?

If you don't plan for a rainy day, isn't it too late to wait until the time comes?

"I see what you mean. I understand that this negotiation does not necessarily require much compensation or benefits, but it must take their vital points, or make them have to cooperate with us to find a partner or helper for their future, right? Laksin asked.

I turned my head to look at him and smiled slightly: "When I first met you on the grassland, you were only a half-old child at that time, but you were quite brainy. After so many years, the most trustworthy person is still you! Luckily! Luckily! ”

Rakshen arched his hand at me, bowed slightly, and said, "I just think that I can share it for you or too little!" Actually, I could have done so much more! When you rescued me on the grassland, I was being hunted down by the Black Carboniferous Ministry, and if it weren't for you, I'm afraid I'd have disappeared by now. Therefore, even if I die, it will not be enough to repay your great kindness! ”

I sighed, walked forward slowly, patted Lakshin on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice, "Good brother! Why don't I want to let you do it? In fact, I really need someone around me to give advice from time to time. In the future, I will leave you alone to deal with the problem! ”

Rakshen shook me to the ground, didn't speak, then got up and resolutely turned away!
