Back in Blackstone City, Meng Fan only stayed in the Lord's Mansion for one night, and the next day Meng Fan rushed to Ziyang City to the west with an army of 50,000 Frances.

Meng Fan sent a messenger to Ziyang City in advance, and in the letter that the messenger handed over to Lewin Nolan, the lord of Ziyang City, Meng Fan wrote down his intentions.

After a few days of marching, the 50,000-French army arrived at the foot of Ziyang City, riding a black horse, Meng Fan stayed at the front of the army and looked up at the tall Ziyang City wall not far away.

The gates were closed, and the walls were filled with sturdy soldiers, and the golden tulip banner representing the Nolan family and the white horse banner representing the royal family fluttered alternately at the head of the city.

"Six years ago, I fought with my eldest brother and Parker on this wall, and Parker was beaten by a Bretan soldier and bruised in the face. Meng Fan stretched out his hand and pointed to the blue-gray city wall not far away and said with a smile.

"Lord Claude, Lewin Nolan should have received your letter, why is Ziyang City still on guard against us?" Tiberius, who was also riding on a horse, was not as leisurely as Meng Fan, and Tiberius looked at the closed city gate anxiously.

"Chatter, they'll come out, there's no other way for Levin to go but to accept us. Mar Saha, who was on the other side of Meng Fan, let out a hoarse laugh.

"It's a pity, big brother, Parker is not with me anymore. Not caring about the conversation of his subordinates, Meng Fan lowered his head and sighed alone.

"Crunch, crunch. The heavy city gate slowly opened, and a team of people came out of Ziyang City.

"Lord Claude, Purple Sun City has sent someone. Tiberius turned his head and said. "Well, let's go over. Meng Fan's expression didn't change, he just kicked the war horse that sat down and walked forward.

Soon, in the center of the city wall of Ziyang City and the army of Fran, the men and horses of both sides gathered together.

"Lord Claude. A white-haired man in the lead saluted Meng Fan with a fist.

"General Nice, it's a pleasure for us to meet again. Meng Fan smiled at Nice, the general of the royal army, who was the representative sent by Lewin, the lord of Ziyang City.

"Lord Crow, what is the purpose of you leaving the Gilgidian military camp two months ago, and today you are leading the French army into the Kingdom of Gilgias?" asked Ness, who was on his horse.

"Haha, General Nice, my intention has long been stated in the letter, why, didn't Marquis Levin tell you?" Meng Fan replied with a smile.

Looking at the black-haired man in front of him, Ness felt a sense of awe for the black-haired man with a mutilated palm, and two months ago, Ness had to respectfully salute the black-haired man and call him Marshal Claude.

Claude Kourou, such an inconspicuous man, defeated the commander of the Bretin army, Voncis Varun, conquered the kingdom of France, and almost wiped out the 500,000 Bretian army.

"Lord Claude, don't you hold a grudge against the Gilgidian royal family who once regarded you as a traitor?" Ness began.

"Of course you hold a grudge. Meng Fan nodded directly without concealment, "However, it is His Majesty Landry and Duke Dulaika who want to get rid of me, His Majesty Landry has died of illness, and now I am the only one who wants to take revenge." ”

"What about His Royal Highness Warren and Her Royal Highness the Queen? Ness stared at the dark-haired man in front of him.

"His Royal Highness the Prince is still young, he certainly didn't think of getting rid of me, and of course I don't hold a grudge against His Royal Highness. Meng Fan laughed, "And Her Royal Highness, she is kind to me, and I have to repay her." ”

"Her Royal Highness is kind to you?" Ness looked puzzled, "General Nice, two months ago, I fled from the barracks to the Kingdom of France, not because I have the ability to be a prophet, but because someone from the royal capital sent me information and informed me in advance that His Majesty Landry wanted to get rid of me. Meng Fan winked at Ness and said.

After listening to Meng Fan's words, Ness quickly understood that the person Meng Fan was referring to was Her Royal Highness Queen Freya, who greatly admired the talent and attainments of Claude Kuru, the lord of Black Rock City, on the piano, and it was reasonable that Her Highness Freya would try to save Claude.

"How can I believe your words, Lord Claude, if you enter the city and detain Lord Levine and His Royal Highness the Prince. Ness said, staring at the dark-haired man in front of him.

"General Nice, there should be a bishop in the church in Ziyang City, you invite this bishop, I can make a sacred oath in front of him. Meng Fan said with a smile.

The Holy See of Brightness has set up many large and small churches in the nine human kingdoms of the Qinglan Continent, and sent clerical officials of different levels to these churches to manage, Ziyang City is a large city with a population of 400,000, so there are bishop-level officials in the churches of Ziyang City.

There is a rule in the Holy See of Light that as long as a clergyman above the priesthood is a witness to the sacred oath, and a bishop who is one level higher than the priest can be a witness to the sacred oath.

Once the sacred oath is made, it must be obeyed, and breaking the sacred oath will be punished by the Holy See of Light, although Claude is greedy and cunning, Ness believes that this black-haired man still does not dare to break the holy oath easily.

"Lord Claude, I need to report your proposal to the Marquis of Lewin, and he will decide on it. Ness thought for a moment and said.

"General Nice, it is not unconditional that I have come from afar with the army of the Kingdom of France to help His Highness Warren regain the throne. Meng Fan said.

Hearing Meng Fan's words, Ness breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if Meng Fan didn't ask for anything to help Ziyang City, it would make Ness even more worried about the true intentions of this black-haired man.

"I have two conditions. Meng Fan raised his left hand and stretched out two fingers.

"When I helped Purple Sun City defeat Dulaika and regain the throne that was supposed to belong to His Highness Warren, the Gilgidian royal family needed to restore my title and territory, which was the first condition. ”

Meng Fan once owned the title of Marquis and the three territories of Black Rock City, Giant Wood City, and Cold Water City, and after being identified as a traitor, Meng Fan's title and territory were naturally deprived.

"What is the second condition?" After listening to the first condition put forward by Meng Fan, Ness asked without hesitation, this is a matter of course, if Meng Fan helps His Royal Highness Warren regain the throne, he will be a great hero of the Gilgidian Kingdom, and the Gilgidian royal family will definitely recognize the territory and title that Meng Fan once had.

"The second condition. Meng Fan turned his head and glanced at Tiberius, Mar Saha and the others behind him.

"The second condition is that, of course, after helping His Royal Highness Warren regain the throne, the Gilgidian royal family will make me Prime Minister, and I will serve as an auxiliary minister before His Royal Highness Warren is crowned pro-government. Meng Fan said with a smile.

Prince Warren is only 12 years old now, and according to the tradition on the Qinglan continent, if Warren ascends the throne as king, he will not be able to handle government affairs himself, and he will not be able to have the power of a king until he is crowned at the age of 16.

The Prime Minister is the minister who assists the king in the administration of government, and the prime minister has the highest status among the ministers of the royal family. Meng Fan not only proposed that he should serve as the prime minister, but also as the auxiliary minister.

An auxiliary minister is a special position created before the king reaches adulthood, and before the king is crowned pro-government, the auxiliary minister can make many important decisions for the king.

Once Meng Fan holds both the positions of Prime Minister and Auxiliary Minister, then at least until His Royal Highness Warren is not an adult, the power of the Kingdom of Gilgias will be concentrated in Meng Fan's hands.
