The 1228th palm is dressed up to visit
The last time Tian Xian exchanged letters with the Havel family was a long time ago, that is, a note about Senna's appointment.
Whether it was a loan, a job, or simply a polite notice, Senna officially stayed in Fire Leaf City as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and never returned to the family.
That letter, in the eyes of the old man, was undoubtedly a marriage letter, although this point could not help but cry and laugh after Senna understood the situation.
Of course, Senna didn't mention this matter to Tianxian, but she has been doing her job conscientiously, in all fairness, Senna is very talented, but she is still just a teenager, and she hasn't seen too many girls in the world, Fire Leaf City has grown from scratch, from weak to strong, she has witnessed the vast majority of this process, it can be said that she is a meritorious veteran, and at the same time, she has made her experience far better than her peers.
Don't force it, but hopefully it will come to pass, Senna always thought.
However, the old man didn't think so in his heart, especially after the week of the 100-nation alliance this time.
In any case, the pace of mankind's crusade will not stop, and the history of 2,000 years nakedly shows that the human race is a group that is never satisfied and seeks only profit.
When it is known that there is a rich country in the East waiting for a new master, then every possible means will go there.
What's more, now there are feasible conditions, only by electing the leader of the alliance and formulating a plan, then this crusade can begin.
And, all this is ...... But it's not just the interests of the Crusades that are attracting many countries.
While gossiping and amusing his granddaughter, the old man would look at Tianxian on the stage from time to time, and his eyes flashed with a trace of essence.
The golden lion that has been crisscrossing the continent for decades has a unique and clever gaze, and the Condor Moon seems to really give this old man the ability to see through the truth and foresee the future, he can always see the first opportunity, and even subdue the enemy without blood.
But this time, even the old man himself had to admit that the young man on the stage who seemed to be playing treasure made him a little unable to see through.
This smiling and kind-hearted, many times even very innocent young man, what he is thinking, what he wants to do, no one knows, even the old man is not sure, this young man knows clearly what he is doing.
This crusade is completely one of the most tragic and protracted wars on the human continent!
It is a ruthless war between nations, races and regions!
Ostensibly, humanity unites to conquer new worlds eastward, and then shares the fruits of victory with the amiable ones.
But in fact, this is not the case at all, human beings have never been at peace with each other for 2,000 years, except for the time being, when you can't talk about killing each other with a knife.
Those who gather together with interests will eventually break up because of interests, and this huge army of the Eastern Crusade will fall apart on the day it really sets foot in the New World, and even start a civil war again.
Perhaps, the gods of that continent can be an important factor in stopping the civil war, of course...... If that deity really exists.
These are all for later!
As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for decades, the old man knows very well how much war consumes spirit, money, and time.
Perhaps under the aura of the Eastern Crusade and the mobilization of the whole continent, spirit and money will still be secondary, but time will become a great obstacle.
It doesn't take much time to pass through the Silent Forest and the Moyun Mountains if it goes well, but the situation in the Eastern Kingdom is extremely complicated, and even the original royal family, the elven clan, dare not guarantee that they can rule the Eastern Kingdom again, and quickly make a safe road for the human army to accompany them, the difficulty of this huge project can be imagined.
A year, two years, five years, maybe ten years will not be able to pass through the Eastern Kingdom, and it will even take decades to reach the Eastern Coast.
Then, it may take decades to develop a ship that can cross the sea, or it may not succeed for hundreds of years, after all, mankind has not really succeeded in exploring the black sea for two thousand years.
Even if it goes well, by the time the real conquest of the sea begins, the current generation should be old, unable to continue the crusade, and even have become revenant.
Walk through the Silent Forest, cross the Moyun Mountains, and carve out a road to the eastern coast, a safe road that will cross a vast land three times the size of the human continent!
Such a long front, the deployment of personnel, the replenishment of transportation, technical support, the reallocation of resources, and so on and so forth...... If it is only for the short term, there will not be much of a problem, but once it becomes a protracted war, then all kinds of contradictions will ensue.
Even if the crusade has not been successful for several decades, then this generation has already grown old and become a dead soul! Can the new generation inherit the ideals of the older generation and inherit the agreements reached by the older generation?
Just sorting out the agreements between the various tribes of the Eastern Kingdoms is an almost impossible task!
This crusade ...... It seems to be a great feat that has never been seen before in human history, but ...... The feasibility is almost zero!
The old man's gaze wandered in the crowd and paused slightly on the faces of the envoys of individual countries, these were all powerful and powerful powers, and most of them had already entered the list of candidates for the alliance powers.
However, whether they entered this list or not, the expressions of these envoys were not much different, they were all the same nervous and excited......
People, after all, are just creatures for a hundred years, what they think of, what they see...... It's just a measure of whether it's short or long by your own life.
Summer insects, can never imagine the beauty and cruelty of the snow, they are always born in the warm and humid spring, and die happily in the most beautiful time of autumn, this world for them, although it is not easy to struggle to survive, but in general, compared with the more cruelty given by nature, it is still very beautiful.
The old man felt that he had seen the passionate summer insects and imagined the beauty after autumn, but he was still planning to do things in summer......
Obviously, most countries did not focus on the future victory of the Eastern Crusade, and now everyone is thinking about how to get more benefits at the beginning of this Eastern Crusade!
Interests, more interests, this is always the truest thought in people's hearts.
As for the situation decades after the Crusades, that is what the next generation will have to worry about, and all that can be done now is to try to do the things in front of them as well as possible.
The old man himself was not optimistic about this crusade, and even felt that it was ...... It's a conspiracy.
Coming here and watching Tianxian's performance, the old man was even more determined in his thoughts, this grinning little guy didn't know what kind of ghost idea he was playing in his head.
Of course, this alliance leader, even now, or even now is the most valuable, if the Dante Empire grabs the position of this alliance leader, it will be a big advantage.
At least in this generation, the Dante Empire is very likely to grow into a super existence that surpasses the Dragon Yuan Empire.
And then there's his granddaughter......
The old man looked at his delicate little granddaughter, and suddenly frowned, "Girl, I've been here for a few days, why didn't that little bastard come to see me, do you want me, an old man, to take the initiative to see him? He snatched my granddaughter here to work as a coolie, but I haven't settled this account with him yet!"
Senna flattened her mouth, "What do I know what that bastard is thinking......!" It seems that he has been running around for the past two days, forget grandpa, what is there to see about that bastard, he is already impatient when he looks at it from afar. ”
The old man was a little helpless, "My good granddaughter, why do you think grandpa came this time?"
Senna was stunned, "Of course, it's to rob the alliance leader." ”
"Haha! That's important, but I don't have to come here in person, girl! The situation is changing dramatically, and many times it becomes undesirable, so some things still have to be prepared in advance, do you understand?"
Senna's cheeks flushed slightly, "Grandpa, you...... I don't even understand what you're saying. ”
The old man touched his beard and said bluntly: "Tianxian, this little bastard, snatched our girl here and left it alone, now who doesn't know that you are the woman next to him, he doesn't even let out a fart now, but he is tired of being with his little beauties, does he want you to settle accounts for her for a lifetime?"
Senna's face turned red suddenly, "I'...... I didn't, you...... Grandpa, you're talking nonsense again! He didn't mean that to me, so I ...... too."
"You didn't either?"
"When...... Of course not!" Senna puffed out his eyes.
The old man pondered for a while, and then laughed, "That's good! That's naturally the best, I'm still worried that you won't be able to extricate yourself here, and in the end, the bamboo basket will be empty, even if you marry him, you will be crowded with many women, hmm...... Since you don't like it, let's go back!"
With that, the old man picked up Senna and was about to leave.
Senna hurriedly grabbed his arm, "Grandpa......! What do you do? How can you just go?"
The old man turned his head and looked at Senna with a solemn gaze, "Girl, Fire Leaf City is about to become a whirlpool that you can't get out of, and it's not a place for you to display your ambitions, if you're not interested in that kid, then go back to China with me immediately, I've already agreed with the Emperor to send you directly into the Imperial Finance Hall, where you really should cherish it." ”
"Wealth...... Treasury Department?" Senna's eyes widened, "Grandpa, are you...... How can you!"
"What about the current Chancellor of the Exchequer...... the old man smiled, "When he was on the battlefield, grandpa saved his old man, haha! If it weren't for grandpa, I'm afraid there would be no miser like him, a small favor is nothing, huh...... Let's go!"
"......Grandpa! You wait!" Senna desperately grabbed the old man, "I'...... I'm not going back!!"
The old man said in a deep voice: "A person's life can be free, but that is after doing his own thing, and he must do it far beyond ordinary people, girl! As the daughter of the Hedell family, you have no choice, even if you cut off contact with the family, your every move will still involve the family, so the family will not allow you to stay here like this......, understand?
"Unless what?" asked Senna hurriedly.
"Unless you have achieved something impressive in the Treasury period. ”
Senna's face turned pale suddenly, "How is that possible? That kind of place where corpses have a vegetarian meal! There has not been a single achievement in ten years, and the biggest effect is to cry poor in front of the emperor every year, grandpa! Isn't this what you said yourself?"
The old man moved his beard, "Really......?" Then, there is only one way left. ”
As he spoke, the old man pointed to Tianxian on the stage, "Girl, I'm sorry to say that, but as the daughter of the Hedell family, you are not qualified to be capricious, and now you have the greatest right to choose." ”
"I ...... I...... Grandpa......" Senna looked almost pleadingly at the majestic and irresistible old man in front of him.
"Come back with me. ”
"No !!"
The old man frowned and looked at his granddaughter who was holding him tightly, and tears began to well-up in his eyes, "Hmm...... It seems so. ”
"Grandpa......" Senna bit her lip.
The old man sighed, then returned to an open-minded look on his face, patted Senna's head gently, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, girl, grandpa can understand, heroic boy, always makes your heart the hardest, back then...... Grandpa is the same, your grandma is always afraid that I will be snatched away by others. ”
Senna was stunned for a moment, and the tears in his eyes froze at once, "Uh...... Grandpa, what did you just say?"
"It's nothing!" the old man raised his eyebrows, "this matter is settled, you go, go and tell that bastard boy that I will be honest at home after the meeting, and I will come to visit, if he dares not to be there...... Hmph!"
Senna stayed where he was, his mind was almost blank, the old man had already left on his own, Senna vaguely remembered what he said he was going to prepare for or something, and he didn't know what he was going to prepare.
"Oh my God...... Why the hell is that......" Senna slumped limply in her chair.
On this day's meeting, almost all of the discussions on who are the suitable candidates are exhausted, and in the evening there are still nominees of the country, and the list of candidates has been added again and again, and finally it has to be announced that the meeting will continue tomorrow and will be closed for the time being.
When I learned that the old man was going to visit at night, I was still a little sorry in my heart, and I didn't officially visit it in the past few days, which was really a violation of etiquette.
Let people specially prepare a dinner, which looks more family and cordial, and when it gets dark, the old man really came with his attendants.
As soon as the old man entered the door, everyone on Tianxian's side was stunned
Senna even covered his face, and the whole person shrank down......
