Chapter 111: The Controversy over Banquet Invitations

"Mr. Xue, at the behest of the king, I have come to invite you to the palace at noon in two days to attend a luncheon.

As he spoke, Marcy handed Xue Hua a gilded envelope with a delicate and faint smell, on which the words "Invitation" were written in the aristocratic Western Language, and there was an autograph of Wood VI in the corner.

Xue Hua was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Kane, Kane nodded at him to indicate that it didn't matter, and he stretched out his hand to take the invitation.

But at this moment, the door of the envoy's residence was opened again, and a voice with a gentle tone but a strange smell of yin and yang came from the door.

"Ouch! Isn't this Lord Marcy?

What's going on? Lord Marcy doesn't care about the Shining S.H.I.E.L.D. garrison, but wants to come here to grab a job? ”

The man who came was Norman Joshua, the Foreign Secretary of King's Harbor and a contemporary leader of the Joshua family.

Dressed in a modest but not ostentatious gold-encrusted gown, with a sarcastic but not overly slight smile, he walked to Marcy's side with graceful and unhurried steps, glanced at him, and then suddenly turned around and looked at Xue Hua with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xue, at noon in two days, the head of my family will hold a banquet in the manor, and the Lord Taizu of the family will also come forward, hoping that Your Excellency can come to the mansion to celebrate the ceremony.

We have prepared delicacies in the manor and are waiting for your visit. ”

Norman skillfully blocked Marcy with his body, and then handed Xue Hua a violet lace envelope with both hands, the center of the envelope was written in gilded font with the word "invitation", and the corner was also the same as the signature of Wood VI, with the signature of the legendary druid Anthony.

"Norman! What do you mean! Seeing that the task was about to be completed, Marcy naturally couldn't swallow this breath easily, and he angrily ripped Norman away, with a look on his face as if he was going to eat the other party.

"You dare to snatch guests from His Majesty the King?!"

"Shhhh Let go of your paws, you barbarian! Although Norman is also a professional, the bonus brought to him by his professional level is slightly stronger than that of ordinary people, and in the face of Marcy, who has experienced the battlefield of the second world, it is naturally not comparable at all, and this time he was directly pulled by Marcy.

Norman, who was treated like this, was naturally not a muddy bodhisattva, and he pulled out the cane under his arm and knocked out Marcy's hand that was gripping his shoulder, while looking at him with contempt.

"The ceremonial feast of the Feast of Abundance, the participants can go wherever they want, and what is the law that stipulates that guests can only go to the luncheon hosted by His Majesty?"

"You!" Ma Xihu's eyes were wide and his mouth was stammered, and he was speechless for a while.

Norman is right, the choice in this matter is indeed in Xue Hua's hands, not to mention that with his current ability and status, no one can stop him from going wherever he wants.

And Marcy is also self-aware.

He knew that in terms of ability on the battlefield, let alone a hundred, 10,000 Normans piled together would not be enough for him to cut with a few knives.

But when it comes to diplomatic skills and sharpening his tongue, his ability is even less than that of Norman.

After all, he is a foreign minister, and he eats by mouth......

In this matter, they really don't have the upper hand.

However, His Majesty has no other way, he can't let Norman help him deliver the invitation, right?

After a secret investigation some time ago, they have now basically determined that the Joshua family has sided with the aristocratic faction, and asked Norman to help him send the invitation, what is the difference between giving up the powerful arm of Xue Hua?

So there was no way, Marcy could only make a cameo appearance as a messenger and personally deliver the invitation.

And he also knew that his skill level in terms of verbal swords and swords was definitely not as high as Norman, so he rushed over as quickly as possible, hoping to be one step ahead of Norman in time, so that Xue Hua would first agree to His Majesty's invitation.

However, what he didn't expect was that although he did catch up with Norman, Norman's speed was not slow, and he almost followed with the front foot and the back foot, and intercepted his beard at the last moment......

In the face of today's situation, Marcy has no better choice, and can only depend on which side Xue Hua's intentions are.

However, in the face of the simultaneous invitation of the two important ministers of King's Harbor, Xue Hua actually felt a lot of headache, he came to help Kane solve the secret trouble of King's Harbor, and the two opposite sides of this trouble were standing in front of him at this moment.

Although Xue Hua was not afraid of offending either of them, before the matter was completely clear, he really couldn't rely on his own temperament, so he had no choice but to turn his attention to Kane for help again.

"I think Xue has seen the hospitality and sincerity of the two, but I believe the two of them also know that Xue has just arrived in your land today, and he has not yet had time to appreciate the folk customs of your country's rich sacrifice, so it is really difficult to make a choice on this, can you please send the invitation letter first, and wait until Xue has thought about it before making a decision?"

Kane took a step forward and responded to Marcy and Norman with a warm smile, while also signaling to Xue Hua with his eyes, asking him to cooperate with him and confuse the level in front of him first.

"Ahh Yes, my two ladies and I have just arrived in your country today, and we haven't had time to take a good look at this street market!

The last time I came to your country, I was in a hurry, and I didn't get a taste of the beautiful bay of King's Port, so this invitation... Could you please go back first and make a decision while I think about it? ”

Xue Hua is really not good at this kind of brain-burning diplomatic activities, so he can only forcibly maintain a smile and accept the two invitations at the same time, and follow Kane's words in the hope that this matter will be confused first, and then make a decision after understanding the situation.

"This is natural, Mr. Xue is tired of the journey, we really shouldn't bother more, of course, this matter is up to Your Excellency, I will go back to the family to report to Taizu first, and wait for Your Excellency to come at that time."

Norman maintained an impeccable smile and nodded his head and turned away without hesitation, while Marcy still hesitated in place, wanting to say something to Xue Hua with a worried face.

But in the end, he didn't say anything, just shook his head slightly, and went out after Norman.

When the figures of the two disappeared outside the door, Xue Hua sat down on the chair behind him, and sighed in a very helpless tone: "Whew... I'm really afraid that these two guys will fight in front of me, so I don't know who to help......"

"Hehe, if there is a real fight, Marcy will definitely not need your help......" Kane smiled and pulled over the chair and sat down beside him.

"How? Enough fun? Finally willing to get over it? ”

“... What's going on? There's a bunch of over there in Kegistan, and the True God Cult is dancing, and it's still fun! ”

"Now you know how hard it is for us old guys, right?"

“... Alright, don't count me down, get down to business, there's not enough time......"
