Chapter 35 - Negotiation and Going to Ample
Looking at that person, Lu Ming's brows furrowed slightly. The title of Stranger www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion is a denial of Lu Ming's merits, and it is also a question of whether he can be a nobleman of Miracaisa.
It can be said that such a title is an insult!
Moreover, this is not just an insult to Lu Ming alone, this stranger, along with Loslick and several nobles from the soul world under the command of the Grand Duke, as well as some nobles who came to Mira Caisa from a small country.
In an instant, several bad-tempered nobles wanted to use force against that person!
"Who is he?" Because of that sentence, the man shouted it, so the empress naturally heard it. But she didn't know the man, and couldn't help but ask a few counts who were sitting not far away, with some irritation.
As a result, the person who answered her was her cousin Raman Ras.
"He is my former husband, Dejes Uturas......"
Hearing this, Mia Linas immediately knew why the man wanted to destroy the relationship between the royal family and these nobles from foreign lands in such a way. In addition, with the very sad look on Laman's face, Mia Linas quickly knew how to punish such a person who had angered twenty-eight nobles during her succession ceremony!
Beckoning, a member of the royal family who was acting as a guard was called, and a word in her ear was whispered, and the royal immediately went to arrest the Djes Uturas, and prepared to torture him in the name that he might be a spy for the enemy.
In this regard, Raman Lass couldn't help but turn a little pale. Although she didn't have any feelings, she had a few children with Deyes after all, and it was still a little unbearable to see him being tortured to death by Mia Linas's people like this. But if she opens her mouth to intercede with Dyes, then she will immediately stand on the opposite side of Lu Ming, which will also cause the anger of many nobles, which can be said to be a trap deliberately dug by Mia Linas to test whether she will stand on Lu Ming's side.
Glancing at Empress Mia Linas, she saw that she was looking at her with a malicious smile, coupled with the gaze of the god Roa beside her, so that Raman Lass could not open her mouth and plead with Deyes.
For the sake of his own future and that of his children, Raman had no choice but to bow his head and choose silence.
With his head down, Raman Lass glanced at it secretly, and was taken away by the royal family, and Deyes, who was still screaming there, felt very uncomfortable. Although she said that she didn't like him very much, she still couldn't do it by watching him die like this.
As Deyes, who had angered a large number of nobles, was taken away by the royal family, the anger of the nobles gradually subsided.
It's just that they are not in the mood to say anything more now, and they all salute the empress and leave the palace.
Walking to the empress and the grand dukes step by step, Lu Ming glanced at Raman Lass slightly, which made her slightly startled. Because when he looked at her, his brow furrowed slightly. Obviously, there was some dissatisfaction with her performance.
However, Lu Ming was not satisfied with what anger he showed.
He whispered in her ear, "You go home first, and I'll be back soon." ”
After speaking, Lu Ming kissed Lamanlasi's face slightly, and then went to the council hall in the palace with the grand dukes and other nobles belonging to various principalities.
Looking at Lu Ming's back, Raman Lass suddenly realized how wrong he was for his unbearable attitude towards Dyes just now. If it were Deyes, he might ignore himself now, and it would be impossible for him to show affection like this. Although it is likely that Lu Ming is only protecting her, it is at least better than Deyes I don't know how many times.
"I'm sorry......" Raman Rath whispered an apology to Lu Ming, and then left the palace with Roa and Kaeya, a place where she didn't like to stay for a moment.
Following the empress, the regent and the grand dukes, Lu Ming came to the council chamber in the palace. Compared to the noisy banquet hall, it is much quieter.
"I know what Your Majesty and you want to ask, and I have already received information." As soon as the Empress sat on the throne, Lu Ming immediately said, "It's impossible to deal with Eldridge's weapon made from the embers of giants!" But our weapons are no worse than his, so there's nothing to worry about. Moreover, the most important thing is that the thunder attribute requires dragon teeth or dragon scales and keels to make materials, and they simply can't produce them in large quantities. At most, it is necessary to equip officers with some, and it is impossible to equip every soldier with such weapons. ”
Because Lu Ming used to be the leader of the (Hunter) organization, and now he is also an important figure in the (Hunter) organization, he was able to get information, and the empress and the others were not surprised. You know, sometimes, the infiltration of Alpha by (hunters) spies is much more terrifying than that of the royal family or the wolf council!
"So, as for the candidates for building and managing the business network, do you have anyone you can recommend one or two?" Sitting on the throne, Empress Mia Linas looked at Lu Ming and asked.
After thinking about it carefully, he found that among the nobles he knew, except for himself and a few nobles of Erepos and Tartarus, who relied on commercial taxes to support the taxes of their territories, they basically relied on agricultural taxes. Therefore, he shook his head and said, "Among the nobles I know, there is no one who is good at business, although I know a little, but it is only scratching the surface. So I didn't have a way to find the right person. ”
The ...... was silent for a moment, then Erepos took a deep breath, walked out of the archdukes, and said to the empress Mia Linas in a pretended manner, "I, Count Filna Ozmoz of Erepos, am very good at business. She should be the best candidate. ”
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ming was directly stunned.
He didn't understand why the Grand Guild of Raels did this. You must know that the Grand Dukes of other principalities are very taboo to work in the imperial capital under their command!
"Your Majesty, my wife Filna ......" Lu Ming said that he wanted to stop Filna from coming to the imperial capital, but unfortunately Empress Mia Linas raised her hand to stop him.
"Her legs, I know too. But I can assure you that she'll be fine. And, you can also let your vampire wife, Mena, stay and take care of her. ”
"What......"
"Rest assured, she will only stay in the Imperial Capital for a while, and as soon as the nobles of the Imperial Capital learn their ways of doing business, I will send them back to Errepos. Moreover, they are not in the slightest danger. ”
"......" stood there silently, and a trace of doubt appeared in Lu Ming's heart about whether it was the right decision to assist Mia Linas to ascend to the throne. But in the end, Lu Ming chose to agree. Because this is an opportunity, a chance to make Filner's earl title less precarious than before, and a chance to make him more famous.
However, he was more or less unhappy in his heart. After all, although he is not doing his best, he is also dutiful. But Raels still tricked him, which really made him a little angry.
However, where is Raels sincere? If many people want the empress who has just succeeded to the throne not to suddenly put on the hat of their own assistant, let Miracaisa fall into turmoil again. Who *** wants to stand in opposition to one of their two most useful nobles? Don't you think your principality is too good?
Sensing a hint of anger in Lu Ming's gaze towards him, Raels couldn't help but smile bitterly.
'Bitter smile? Instead of ignoring, but smiling bitterly? Is he the one who blames the empress? Seeing a wry smile on Raels' face, Lu Ming instantly understood everything. Filner is likely to be one of the people the Empress and the Regent have been able to get after observing him and his family over the past few days. Although there should be more than one candidate, controlling Filner can make him have to come up with ideas for the construction of business networks. It can be said that he was calculated.
But what's the solution?
There was no way, Lu Ming could only admit that he had been taught a lesson. Don't trust the person who assists you, he/she will sometimes calculate you ruthlessly!
When the candidate for the construction and management of the business network was decided, the Grand Duke of Amp himself proposed to let Lu Ming go to Ampu to see if there were any of Ampu's own Warcraft, which could be cultivated like Coco Dora, Ghost Si and Bali Sheep, and Centipede King that could be used as an officer's partner, and Amp could cultivate it himself. did not let Raels once again stand on the opposite side of Lu Ming, a very important nobleman.
For this request, Lu Ming did not have any resistance. After all, Amp is too close to Effar, and once the war starts, Amp will directly turn the entire war zone into a war zone, and such a request is not too much.
"Most of the land in the Principality of Ampu is a very barren desert, if you want to cultivate a magical beast, the first point is to see if this magical beast can withstand drought and adapt to the desert environment. Specifically, although I will wait until I go to Amp in a few days. However, based on some of the magical beasts that the caravan had seen in the desert town where Tartarus was relatively close to Amp and some rumors there, I could basically know that it was more suitable for Amp to cultivate those kinds of magical beasts. Frowning and pondering for a moment, Lu Mingshu said while thinking.
As soon as he heard this, the Grand Duke of Amp was immediately overjoyed, Lu Ming was not talking about one or two, but several, that is to say, Amp would get more varieties of Warcraft than Errepos and Tartarus. Although, it is possible that the attribute is very simple. However, he believed that Lu Ming would not pit him, so he was looking forward to it.
Seeing that the Grand Duke of Amp was so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths together, Raels and Ferram couldn't help but snort in their hearts, and thought, 'When we successfully cultivate the chrysanthemum leaves and Ubo, you will wait to be killed by us!' ’
After the Grand Duke's request and the things that he and the others wanted to ask and say were all finished, and Lu Ming also answered them one by one, Empress Mia Linas asked Lu Ming: "I heard that Archbishop Tut, the founder of the (Hunter), is going to be replaced by Archbishop Emplo, does (the Hunter) plan to continue to cooperate with the Church of Light?" ”
"Forty percent of the people [of the hunters] are members of the Church of Light or followers of the God of Light, so it is very important that the archbishop is in charge. If Your Majesty still wants to set up a mercenary organization that belongs to the royal family or the official Mirakaiza, it is important to cooperate with the Church of Light! ”
Hearing this, Mia Linas couldn't help but smile and said, "I know. Go back, presumably Duke Unos, still waiting for you. ”
"The minister retired." He bowed slightly and saluted, and then Lu Ming left the council room, letting the empress and the grand duke continue to discuss the deployment of troops.
Standing at the exit of the palace, Lu Ming glanced back, and then left here quickly, walking in the direction of home.
'Is she really better than the third prince when she ascends the throne?' ’
-----------------------------------
Half a month later, Lu Ming, at the urging of the Grand Duke of Ampu, left the imperial capital and went to Ampu with Yu'er Sika, while Raman Lath and several of her children returned to Odysseus in Erepos with Chimera with some of the female knights of the lord's guard brought by Ferna who had come to the imperial capital a few days ago. Mena stayed in Oreno to take care of Filner, who had leg problems.
In the past few days, Lu Ming can be said to have done nothing, just to be tired of being with Ferner, who has not seen him for a long time, and playing with his youngest son Albert. The Grand Duke of Amp couldn't bear it anymore, and directly led someone to forcibly arrest him back to Ampu, so he obediently obeyed and set off.
In the carriage, Lu Ming lay on the seat, his head resting on Yu'er Sika's legs, and fell asleep. Because of the lesson of the road blocked by big stones last time, this time Lu Ming brought the knights of the four lord's guards to come just in case. Although this time he was walking with the Grand Duke of Amp, so he didn't need to worry about this kind of thing at all, but his own people were always a little better than Amp's people. In terms of use.
However, this also made Lu Ming lose his job as driving the carriage, and he could only sit in the carriage and survived the hard days for almost fourteen days. If it weren't for the shortened distance through the teleportation magic stations in several big cities on the way, I don't know how long it would take!
As for why Lustric didn't help get them straight to Ample, because he had already been dragged away by Archduke Raels. How could he still know Lu Ming's hardships?
As the speed of the carriage became slower and slower, Lu Ming, who was asleep, suddenly woke up.
Getting up from Yu'er Sika's lap and glancing outside the carriage, he saw that there was a very vast desert outside, and although he could see a small oasis in the distance, he didn't know if it was real, or if it was a mirage.
"It's already in the desert. Soon, the carriage will be useless, and you have to be prepared to be exposed to the sun, wife. Gently helping You'er Sika rub his somewhat numb legs, Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Exposure to the sun? Wait a minute, I'll put on the sun-protective clothing I got from Mena. ”
"Did Mena help me prepare?"
"Nope. However, you can wear women's style! ”
"Forget it then, I don't want to be laughed to death by the nobles of Ample." Faced with his wife's joke, Lu Ming couldn't resist a little, and couldn't help but look out the window, intending to look at the scenery.
However, he did not expect that as soon as he turned his head and looked out the window, he saw a yellow-colored, round, and spiritless little camel!
"That's it! Stupid fire camel?! Looking at the little camel that passed by the team, Lu Ming exclaimed in surprise.
In an instant, the knight, who heard his cry, immediately stopped the whole procession, and went to seduce the little camel back with a bag of biscuits. (To be continued.) )
