Chapter 244: The Man Behind the Scenes, It's a Bit Long
I thought that after hearing these words, Talos would at least be a little angry, even if he didn't lose his temper on the spot.
After all, the words have already been said at this point, which is tantamount to putting a hat with the word 'suspicion' on Talos's head first.
In fact, this time he negotiated peace with the demon envoy, and Talos offended many elders both openly and secretly.
Coupled with the uproar over Buck's incident before, many of the elders who were not used to seeing Talos as a puppet and living in the Demon Envoy Clan for so long in the first place were even more worried about this matter.
But after listening to the sarcasm at this meeting for so long, Talos acted as if all this had nothing to do with him, as if he was talking about someone else.
"Your Excellency, rest assured, although I have always wanted to broker a truce, as a Yeren, as a member of the Senate, I will definitely focus on the overall situation."
As he spoke, Talos's gaze only swept over the elders present, and he said no more.
"It's a thing of the past, and there must be no need to talk about it repeatedly. Now, as long as His Excellency Tarr is now able to clarify the relationship between primary and secondary and not be involved with the Demon Envoy, everything else is a trivial matter. β
Mander looked sideways at Talos, his unsmiling face silently proclaiming his seriousness.
At the same time, these words fell on Talos's ears, and they continued to ring like an alarm bell......
"Yes."
Talos nodded lightly, as if understanding the succinct response of his words.
"Okay, let's discuss the prevention of the demon envoy and the supply of war readiness and military supplies."
"Yes......"
With the secondment of the elders present, I saw that Mande sorted out the documents that had been placed on the table in advance, handed them over to the guards beside him, and sent them to the elders present in turn.
Talos looked down at the document in his hand, which was nothing more than a record of the military reserves of the major families, and how many troops could be given to this war, as well as dry food and other data.
Just looking at it line by line, in the final record of the entire Senate Lord's war readiness savings and fund operation data, Talos suddenly narrowed his eyes......
Looking at it, although he has only been back in Yeren for a short year. But this huge Yeren main city, whether it is business, grain production, taxes, and income is far more than this.
Why, a war that has not lasted long has left the munitions depot so tight.
Originally, he proposed peace on the grounds of insufficient military supplies, but he simply thought that it was Yeren's financial situation that was really tight, which gave him this opportunity.
Now the rules and regulations are listed in front of them, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that someone has done something on it.
"I don't think I need to say more, everyone can already see the problem." Mandel puffed his chin and his gaze swept over the crowd, as if he were scrutinizing them one by one.
"With such a large loss of funds, didn't His Excellency Harun, who is in charge of managing the finances, give a reasonable explanation for this?"
One of the senators sitting next to Mande slapped the document heavily on the table, his face visibly angry.
"His Excellency Harun has made it clear that it is not yet clear where the money will be lost and where it will go. Of course, all this does not rule out that in this senate there are internal thieves. β
At this point, the elders, who were still arguing, and even accusing and doubting Harun, who was in charge of finance, suddenly fell silent when they heard this.
The entire conference room suddenly fell silent.
But in this tranquility, many people silently and invariably set their eyes on Talos.
But Talos still looked unimpressed, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Now that everyone has seen the current fund reserves, they must have a certain understanding of the current situation and their own views. Then it's not too early, so let's get here for this morning meeting. β
As he spoke, Mander stood up from his position and walked straight for the gate.
It was only when he passed by Talos's side that he unintentionally reached out and patted him on the shoulder, leaving a look without any emotion, and then walked away completely.
Seeing Mande leave, the other patriarchs present didn't want to stay any longer.
After all, everything was still only suspicion, and Mande was no longer here, so it didn't make sense for them to continue to verbally fight Talos, so they left one after another.
In the huge conference room, Talos sat quietly in his chair.
He folded his fingers and lowered his eyes to the document in front of him.
Armistice, loss of funds, Durre......
Talos pondered these things and their connections in the back of his mind.
Perhaps, DΓΌrer robbed Rin, not just as he thought before. There must be something else in it that he hadn't thought of yet, and something that hadn't been spliced together yet.
β¦β¦
On the way back from leaving the Senate, the white mustard that came with him had long since disappeared and disappeared.
Talos sat alone in the car, all that lingered in his mind was the multiple pieces of information about the meeting and the mysteries that had yet to be solved.
Suddenly, the carriage shook violently!
Talos frowned, but before he could ask, a dark shadow swooped through the window and into his car.
"Did you find it?"
"Do you see me coming back by myself, as if I had found it?"
Inside the carriage, Talos glared at Chi Yi.
And Chi Yi didn't seem to see those sharp eyes, and pretended to be stupid the whole time.
"How can it be that there is no trace left."
"Didn't it rain all the time last night, the awe-inspiring breath was already very weak, and it was even harder to find traces when it was washed away by the rain."
Chi Yi restrained his nonchalant look, if he was really not worried about Rin at all, it was definitely fake.
It's just that I've tried everything now.,If the other party really wants to use Rin to make a big fuss.,Or want to hide her.,Then they're helpless.γ
However, just as the two looked at each other, thinking about what to do next.
'Hmmm'
Suddenly, a throwing knife grazed the edge of the car window and flew in!
Chi Yi dodged vigilantly, but Talos didn't even think about it after seeing the short blade piercing into the car, so he got up and jumped out of the carriage and chased in the direction where the throwing knife was shot.
"Talos, this is the Rin Knife!"
Inside the carriage, Chiichi urgently grabbed the reins to prevent the horses from running away in fright, and shouted in the direction that Talos had left.
But Talos had already discovered that the short blade was a dignified personal object, and before he could open his mouth, he had already chased it into the depths of the trees and disappeared without a trace......
This road was supposed to be the only way back to the Taal family's mansion.
Far away from the city, there are few people.
The surrounding radius is almost the coverage of the Tal family, so Chi Yi dared to jump out of the window so boldly, not afraid of being seen by anyone and causing criticism.
It's just that this person chose such a place that would do him a lot of harm and no benefit.
Isn't he afraid that the guards of the Taal clan will be dispatched and let him come and go immediately?
Talos chased all the way to the depths of the trees, over the dense trees, and was led by the breath of the extremely fast and never able to see the figure clearly, to the towering cliff waterfall.
"Your Excellency Tarr is really, so nervous about that magic envoy named Ye Rinrin?"
On the edge of the empty cliff, suddenly a very familiar man's voice came.
Talos slowly approached, his eyes warily searching his surroundings.
But the space of this cliff is not large, if there is really someone hiding in this vicinity, how can he not see it.
"Hee, hee...... I don't know why you're so nervous about that half-demon envoy though. But whether to say it or not, the little things that this demon envoy is carrying are really good. β
The voice burst into laughter, and once again came clearly into Talos's ears.
Facing the gusting sea breeze and the crashing waves below the cliff, Talos finally saw the source of the sound as he reached the very edge of the cliff......
