It seems that the only way to end the affairs of Yundu early and rush back to Boyingte. This opponent will eventually have to be solved by himself. Rick intriguedly instructed the team to continue on the road, and after clearing the barricades formed by the accumulation of corpses, the group sped off towards Yundu.

Alice carefully carried the woman she had saved into her carriage, and Rick had a vague feeling that she was hiding something from him, but he didn't ask too much about it, and he suddenly had the feeling that the mystery of the matter would soon be revealed.

Rushing to Yundu, Rick was almost exhausted.

Because of the visit of the envoys of various countries, compared to the situation that Rick saw before, Yundu's vigilance was obviously much stricter. However, Feng Mengna quietly handed a few gold coins to the guards who were inspecting, and the group entered the city by the way.

The convoy carrying Rick and the others stopped in front of a mansion south of the city. Gert. Hua Xun opened the door, and after whispering a few words to the person who opened the door, the door of the courtyard was open to them. A moment later, a tall middle-aged man came out with several family members, and commanded Jia Ding to help everyone drive the carriage into the courtyard.

Feng Mengna walked up to the man with Rick, and the middle-aged man hurriedly saluted Feng Mengna and said, "Deputy Commander Feng."

Feng Mengna nodded and said, "Let's talk about it inside." "After saying that, only Gert. Watson and Sylon took him behind him, and whispered in Rick's ear, "The Duke will follow me in to discuss secret matters, preferably with only his henchmen." ”

Rick nodded in understanding, and casually pulled Chrissy and Gyokuro behind him.

The middle-aged man immediately led the group into the house, and through a gravel path, everyone entered Kejin.

The passenger pound is very spacious. No less than any catty chamber Irick has ever seen. The tables and chairs around are all carved mahogany. It looks extremely luxurious.

After the guest sat down, Feng Mengna pointed to Rick and introduced to the middle-aged man: "This is Duke Xia Hua, and the Duke is responsible for all the affairs of this trip." ”

The middle-aged man immediately stood up and saluted Rick and said, "Subordinates, see Duke Xia Hua." ”

Rick laughed and helped him up, "What shall I call you?" ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly introduced himself: "The subordinate is nominally the head of the Caiyun Mercenary Group in Yundu, but he is actually a member of the Imperial Secret Intelligence Team, and the Duke just calls me Kava." ”

Rick motioned for Kawa to return to his seat, and as soon as Kawa sat back down, Rick asked, "Kawa, what's the current situation?" ”

A look of worry flashed across Kava's face. "Under the leadership of the Tabuziqi Empire, the envoys of various countries have been negotiating for three consecutive days, and no specific agreement has been reached yet. However, the Tabziqi Empire and the Velvet State have made it clear that they will jointly send troops against the Empire. The empire's declared targets for the Northern Expedition were the Kingdom of Huca, the Kingdom of the Skylarks, the Kingdom of the Galloping Horses, and the Kingdom of Pedoni, so the four northern countries applauded the decision of the Tabuziqi Empire and the Velvet Kingdom, and vigorously encouraged the rest of the countries to send troops together. The Qin Department and Jingzhou, which were originally in a wait-and-see attitude, have loosened up a little, and if the conditions proposed by various countries are suitable, it is estimated that they will also send troops. Sidi was invited for the first time as a nation, and they were very enthusiastic about the joint dispatch of troops, and seemed anxious to get rid of the name of barbarism and become the fifteenth nation of the continent. At the moment, only the attitude of the Karinkel Empire and the Red Eagle Business Alliance is unknown. However, this situation is already very unfavorable for the Empire. ”

"It seems that our action is urgent." Feng Mengna sighed deeply and said.

Gert. Watson suddenly asked, "Tabzich has always been friendly with the Empire. How could there be such a big shift in attitude towards the empire this time? ”

"Tabuziqi suddenly had a palace change half a month ago, King Klee, who had always been friendly with the empire, was deposed, and his younger brother Grand Duke Chenya inherited the throne, and all the real power fell to the initiator of the rebellion, one of the three dukes, Feiying. Carlo in his hands. Fei Ying.

Carlo was ambitious, and this joint army was his idea. Originally, this matter had been hidden, but I only inadvertently found out about it a day ago-Fei Ying. Carlo has traveled to the Empire with the intention of being unfavorable to His Majesty. I have reported this matter to Majesty, hoping that Majesty will respond as soon as possible. Kawa glanced at everyone, and when he finished speaking, he immediately smiled bitterly.

The faces of the crowd changed drastically, and it was obvious that they were beginning to worry about the queen's situation.

Rick sighed in his heart, the queen must have been in danger, but he didn't show his worries on the face, and comforted everyone with a smile: "You don't have to worry, Your Majesty already knows Fei Ying." Carlo is going to Boyent. Let's try our best to solve the current predicament and share your worries!

Everyone nodded in unison, and Sylon muttered first, "We'd better start with the Red Eagle Business Alliance first. Military expenditure is a big problem when countries want to join forces to raise troops, especially when countries are far and near, and the cost of dispatching them is huge, and it is not something that a single country can afford. However, Jingzhou, Qinbu and other countries are not wealthy, and the reason why they hesitate is mostly because they consider the pros and cons, and feel that if they send troops, they may not be able to get any benefits. The Tabziqi Empire's intention to choose the location of the parliament in the territory of the Red Eagle Business Alliance could not be more obvious, it is nothing more than to draw the Red Eagle Business Alliance in and ensure the operation of the alliance's expenses. But the rulers of the Red Eagle Business Alliance are not fools, this place directly borders the empire, and has always been a commercial link between the empire and other countries, and if the two sides fight, they will lose the most. Until now, they have refused to express their position, which shows that they have long taken this into account. With a little show of kindness, I believe they will even help us to mediate.

Gert. Hua Xun agreed: "Yes, maintaining peace on the mainland is the situation that the Red Eagle Business Alliance is most happy to see. In addition, the Tabziqi Empire has already sent troops to Karinkel, and the Karinkel Empire must be very dissatisfied. They did not withdraw from the parliament, most likely because they were threatened by the Tabziqi Empire, and they have not expressed their position, most likely because they were worried about Marshal Fitoro's 200,000 troops in his territory, not to mention that Marshal Figodora had already signed a peace treaty with them. As long as we put pressure on the Karinkel Empire, they will at least remain neutral, if not out of the meeting.

Feng Mengna said thoughtfully: "First easy and then difficult, the duke starts with these two countries first." If it succeeds, we will have plenty of time and the rest of the work will be much easier. ”

Rick smiled and asked Kawa, "When is their next council?" Where is the location? ”

"Tonight, in the Yundu Garrison Mansion."

Feng Mengna asked, "Does the Duke want to infiltrate the garrison to find out about the situation?" ”

Rick shook his head and said, "It's not a secret sneak in, but a fair entry and a direct showdown with them." ”

"Duke, don't, they know the purpose of the duke's trip, and it will definitely be detrimental to the duke." Kawa was startled and hurriedly persuaded.

Sylon seemed to understand Rick's intentions, and said slowly: "The duke's move is feasible, instead of secretly contacting the countries, it is better to face them head-on, which will catch them off guard." Once the problem is left in the clear, if they want to be unfavorable to the duke, they will have some scruples. After all, the agreement has not yet been reached, and if this joint dispatch of troops fails, which country attacks the duke alone, the retaliation of the empire is something that no country can afford. On the contrary, it is difficult to say, because the duke has not appeared on a formal occasion, and after they attack the duke, they can still push the matter cleanly. If we can't find out who did it, it will put everyone in danger and fear of imperial retaliation, which will lead to an agreement.

Feng Mengna laughed and said, "I also approve of the duke doing this, but just in case, the duke should bring more men." ”

Seeing that Feng Mengna also agreed, everyone had no other opinions.

Rick smiled and said, "Since that's the case, it's decided." Kava, you arrange a room for me first, and I need to be mentally ready for tonight's council. ”

In the evening, Rick rode in a carriage and traveled to the Yundu garrison under the arrangement of Kawa.

In addition to Kava, who led the way, Rick only brought Chrissy, Gyokuro, Alva, Sifeng, and Shui Zhuxiu with him. Rick didn't plan to show off with him, but she offered to come along, and Rick agreed without even thinking about it. Shui Zhuxiu took the initiative to ask Rick, but he refused to say the reason for coming, and her unusual behavior immediately caused everyone to be puzzled. But Rick knew that the mystery would soon be revealed, just as he felt like he would soon understand why Alice was so abnormal when she saw the Bow.

When Feng Mengna and the others first heard that Rick was only bringing such a few people, they all dissuaded them again and again, but after seeing the terrifying strength displayed by the women on the spot, they immediately closed their mouths.

Concubine Ji Xue said well, the power of the Caiyun Mercenary Group in the Red Eagle Business Alliance is not trivial, originally this council was very important, and ordinary people could not enter the venue at all, but Kawa easily brought Rick and others into the Yundu Garrison Mansion, and no one stopped them along the way.

Rick later learns that Kawa is also an important member of the Red Eagle Chamber of Commerce. He is responsible for all the security matters of the parliament. The Blue Moon Empire actually planted such a pawn within the Red Eagle Business Alliance, and Rick was surprised.

The fierceness of the struggle between countries was beyond his imagination.

The council took the form of a banquet, which was much the same as what Rick had seen in the Seongseong Garrison, except that all the guests were arranged in the inner hall in separate tables instead of socializing. The outer hall was heavily guarded, making the whole council look a bit nondescript.

Before Rick and the others entered the inner hall, Cava whispered a few words in the doorman's ear.

The door official immediately changed color, hesitated for a moment, and then sang in an extremely awkward voice: "The Blue Moon Special Envoy Duke Xia Hua has arrived in ......."

Rick walked to the inner hall with the singing harmony, and as soon as he entered the inner hall, he found that everyone in the inner hall was staring at him in unison. (To be continued......)
