Chapter 222: Enemies of the Undead
"With all due respect, Her Royal Highness Princess! In Hidden Moon City, I have dealt with the undead clan several times, and I know that their power is very large, and I am just a mercenary, I am afraid that I may not be able to suppress them. ”
An Xu's words can be regarded as very euphemistic, where is this not possible, almost 100% impossible!
Her Royal Highness the princess means An Xu very clearly, that is, it is inconvenient for the royal family to act openly now, because these latent forces have great influence in the military and politics, and if they are pressed too hard and there is a backlash, it will be a turmoil.
The kingdom has just gone through a war and needs time to stabilize, but it cannot sit idly by and watch these forces continue to grow.
If you can't do it openly, then you can only suppress it secretly, and as long as there is a person with enough weight to stand on the opposite side of these forces and compete with them, you can suppress their development momentum.
Factional strife in the aristocracy is a common thing, two nobles are against each other for the sake of interests, and the losing party can only suffer this dumb loss.
By the time these latent forces come to their senses, the royal family is fully ready, and even if they want to resist, they won't be able to make much waves.
It does sound like a good note, but compared to the iron-blooded method of 'New Leaf' who does not hesitate to cause a riot and directly kills the ring, this method will be gentler and will make the kingdom shed less blood.
But it's really hard, okay?
According to An Xu's inference, almost a large part of the noble class of the kingdom is directly or indirectly related to the undead clan.
Doesn't it mean that he has to fight against these forces with the strength of one man?
An Xu is just a new aristocracy, completely blank in terms of connections, power, industry, etc., at most he has a bit of force.
And this force is not absolute, maybe a few characters like Van Dier will come out, making it difficult for An Xu to contend with.
"I know what you're struggling with, but there's no better candidate right now! The relationship between the three major families and the royal family is too close, and if you do something to too many families, you will definitely be suspected! Most aristocratic families are so complicated that we are not sure if they have been infiltrated, and we dare not hand over this task to others casually! ”
Ya Yun Ling said seriously: "Only you are different, because you are a mercenary, you don't have to pay attention to the so-called aristocratic laws, even if you go-for-tat with others, others will only treat you as a thorn, and will not associate with other aspects!" What we need now is time, and only you can buy it for the Kingdom! ”
"I ...... Do your best! An Xu smiled bitterly.
It's all said and done, what else can I do?
It's just that if you take this task and want to keep a low profile in the future, I'm afraid you won't be able to.
Her Royal Highness the Princess stood up, sat down beside An Xu, and said softly: "Don't put too much pressure on you, this can be regarded as an attempt by us." Everything is about your own safety, and what the kingdom lacks most now is a pillar of talent like you, and I don't want any accidents for you. ”
Ye Wanqing's words warmed An Xu's heart.
Her Royal Highness didn't stay too long before leaving, and now there are a lot of trivial things in the country, all supported by her alone, and even leaving the palace for too long will cause chaos.
After seeing her leave, An Xu relaxed a lot.
Ye Wanqing's aura is too big, when she is by her side, An Xu always feels a little restrained, and now there are only two tree people left, Bayun Ling and Yun Feng, and An Xu can let go.
"You really look up to me, aren't you worried that I'm going to mess things up?" An Xu said helplessly.
Ba Yunling said a little distressed: "I also know that this task is difficult, but please help Sister Ye, she is too tired to be alone!" You don't know what kind of mess she inherited when she took office, the kingdom was worried about internal and external troubles, and even many local forces have been out of the control of the royal family! People only know that the kingdom has finally regained peace, but no one knows how much sacrifice Sister Ye has made! ”
An Xu rubbed his eyebrows: "I didn't say I wouldn't help, but you have to give me some ideas, the kingdom is so big, where do I start investigating?" To what extent does it need to be investigated? You can't just go blind and try your luck on the street, right? ”
"You don't have to worry about this, considering that you are weak now, so you don't need to look too wide, the first goal, let's start with Hidden Moon City, not only you, we will also help in secret!"
Ba Yun Ling said, pointing to Yun Feng beside him: "In a few days, Yun Feng will go to Hidden Moon City to take office, he will be the new city lord of Hidden Moon City, you two can take care of each other!" ”
"Yun Feng? The city lord of Hidden Moon City? An Xu raised his head with some joy, if Yun Feng, who was the city lord, helped, then this task would be much easier.
Yun Feng smiled helplessly, and it could be seen that he was not very interested in this city lord position.
Yayun Ling said: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, if you want to clear the undead forces of the kingdom, it is impossible in a short period of time, Hidden Moon City is a strong defensive place, you first make sure that Hidden Moon City can be safe and sound, and then make the next step." ”
"Okay, I see!" An Xu nodded and said, "But we still have to stay in the royal city for a few days, and we won't go back so soon for the time being!" ”
"Whatever you want! This is a bypass task, usually you can do whatever you want, too eager is easy to expose your identity. Originally, Her Royal Highness the princess wanted to give you an exact position, but it seems that your mind is not on politics, so you can only give up! Yakumo Ling said.
An Xu recalled that when he was in Baiyu City, Her Royal Highness the princess did invite her to serve in the court, but she was refused.
I still prefer the life of a mercenary, even if I am a nobleman now, I still don't plan to give up my identity as a mercenary.
So Yakumo Ling's words were exactly in line with An Xu's thoughts, he didn't resist serving the kingdom, but he didn't want to be bound, and this way was just right now.
"Okay then, I'll have to trouble you to take care of it in the future!" An Xu stretched out his hand towards Yun Feng, it was not the first time to cooperate with Yun Feng, and there was already a tacit understanding between the two.
"Goodbye to Hidden Moon City!" Yun Feng tacitly shook his hand and smiled faintly.
It wasn't until An Xu left that Ya Yunling seemed to say to himself, "Am I taking too many risks? ”
Yun Feng shook his head and said, "Don't worry, he is one of the few people I can't see through, every time I see him, I feel like there is a earth-shaking change!" Have you noticed that when I first met An Xu, he had just stepped into the one-star realm, and it had only been a long time, and he was already about to catch up with you and me, this speed was simply shocking. ”
"It's because of this that I want to pull him to Her Royal Highness the Princess, Sister Ye has made too many sacrifices for Huiye, and this marriage with the Heavenly Dragon Empire is also to stabilize the situation, so that those latent forces will not dare to act rashly! If I can, I really hope that someone can share some of it for Sister Ye. Yakumo Ling said.
Yun Feng leaned against the wall, looked at Ba Yunling's distressed appearance, and said in a low voice: "I think it's better for you to care more about yourself, I won't be around in the future, but no one will accompany you to be willful, think more about everything, don't be rash!" ”
"I'm sorry, I know you're not interested in these things either, but there is too little manpower at the moment, so I can only work hard for you, and when the situation is more stable, I will ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to transfer you back." Yakumo Ling said guiltily.
"Come on, I still need to be so polite?" Yun Feng said nonchalantly and opened the door: "I'll also go and prepare first, the notice of appointment will come down soon, maybe I'll leave tomorrow." ”
"Brother Yunfeng!" Yayun Ling suddenly shouted.
Yun Feng's body was stunned, how many years, since they were sensible, Ba Yunling had never called him that again, and when he suddenly heard it, people couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
"You must be careful, if you encounter danger, don't be impulsive!" Yakumo Ling said.
"Got it!"
Yun Feng didn't look back, just raised his hand and waved, and walked into the night.
