Chapter 187: Trilateral Agreement
January 4, 4829, Dipont Frontier City.
The desert is plugged at a glance, and the yellow sand is everywhere.
The life of the soldiers guarding the desert patrol border is undoubtedly monotonous and boring, facing golden sand all day long, and suffering from cold winds at night, only a few days a week to take turns off, and they can go to drink and find girls.
A lean soldier patrolled boredly, with a pair of eagle-like eyes, but he kept looking around, alert to all the situation.
Bang bang bang ~~
Suddenly, the sound of something stomping on the ground was heard, alerting the lean soldier.
Boom!
The spear in his hand was aimed at the ingress, and one foot moved to the side of the alert.
The Alert is a special foot mechanism, and when you step on it, an alarm will sound throughout the city, and eye-catching fireworks and lights will rise from this sentry post.
Is that...... An iron-backed dragon!
The sentry soldier exclaimed loudly, and the words "Ironback Earth Dragon Legion" instantly appeared in his mind. As a scout of the Empire's Northwest Defense Line and Northern Defense Line, he has been in the army for more than 20 years, and has dealt with the neighboring Eberon Empire countless times, and has seen small groups of iron-backed Earth Dragon Legions appear in every small-scale friction battle to deter and intimidate the Northwest Frontier Army.
When that foot was about to step down, the sentry soldier was stunned, because behind the iron-backed earth dragon, there was still a vast golden desert, and on the back of the iron-backed earth dragon, there was a wheat-colored face, which was very different from ordinary people.
"Yellow people?" the sentry soldier was slightly stunned, took a closer look, and suddenly came to his senses.
As a man of the year in the Koro Empire in recent years, and his skin color and appearance are so distinctive, even if he can't recognize what the ministers of the various ministries look like, he can still recognize the appearance of the young hereditary earl Li Jun!
"Hello sir!" shouted the sentry soldier as he stood still.
Li Jun casually threw down a coin, and the sentry soldier was about to praise Li Jun excitedly. His smile froze, because what Li Jun left on the ground was not a gold coin, but a ...... Coppers!
"Just a copper coin?" the sentry soldier looked at Li Jun's back. He sneered, and said silently, "Miserly Earl, this is enough for me to eat a meal, right?"
......
After passing through sixteen clear posts, more than twenty minutes later, Li Jun rode a big cow. Arrived in front of the border city of Dipont.
Put the big cow cow into the summoning space, and look at the border city of Dipont after more than a year, as if it was yesterday.
"Are you Count Li Jun?" An officer recognized Li Jun, looked at Li Jun carefully, and shouted in surprise: "Praise the great goddess of light!
Li Jun wants to laugh but doesn't want to laugh, this little officer can't speak, what is it called?
"Where's Captain Curt, where is he, take me to him. Li Jun said.
"Oh, my honorable Earl, Master Curt has returned to Beijing a few days ago. The officer said.
Li Jun nodded. I was not surprised by this, the third regiment, as the formation of the Beida military village, was responsible for protecting the security of the imperial capital, and without special tasks, it could not leave the vicinity of the imperial capital en masse.
After completing the task, you may rush back as soon as possible, and you can't linger.
Military discipline is in place, and Curt is helpless.
"Forget it, I'll go to him for a drink one day and make up for the celebration banquet. Li Jun whispered.
The news of Li Jun's return soon spread throughout the border city of Dipont. The governor of this border city area sent a confidant to give Li Jun a celebration banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust.
"The hosts. The hot bath is all ready, so you can wash it up first. Blaise wiped his rough little hands on his apron, pulled Li Jun into the bathroom with excitement on his face, put on the new clothes and bath towels, closed the door lightly, and sat on the steps in front of the door.
Blaise's chatterbox opened instantly. chattering, Li Jun also chatted with her left and right.
I haven't seen him for more than a year, what should I do or what should I do, when I asked Princess Tiran and her party, I could obviously feel a lot of dissatisfaction from Blaize's tone.
"Master, it's not the black state that Blaise sued Princess Tiran, it's really ...... She's so indecent!" Blaise said angrily, puffing out her cheeks.
Speaking ill of the master in front of the master, and it was also about private life, Blaise fortunately had a master, a little nervous, if it was someone else, she would be severely reprimanded, and she was not allowed to say it again, and secretly sent a henchman to investigate afterwards.
"Yo, my wife and princess who haven't passed the door yet, why is she not careful?" Li Jun asked casually.
"Every day since you left, young lords from all over the continent have arrived in the Dipont border city, in front of the inn, wanting to witness the dignity of Princess Tiran......" Blaise said with a little jealousy: "Men are all the same, oh, except for the master......!
"And then. Li Jun soaked in the bathtub, nibbled on a melon fruit, and asked vaguely.
"Then, some shameless lords still want to develop a further relationship with Princess Tiran, you know, this marriage was personally decided by His Majesty, and those lords are not self-respecting at all, if it weren't for the magic master next to Princess Tiran who took action and drove everyone out, I don't know what to do...... Yes. Blaise said it all in one breath.
"What about my princess wife, how did she react?"
Blaise groaned a little and said: "She didn't refuse the people who pursued her, but she didn't agree either, she often went shopping, participated in a party and dance banquet or something, and what made Blaise angry the most was that when she went to the banquet every night, she hugged and hugged a group of merry lords." β
"A banquet is dancing, and dancing will inevitably lead to hugging. In the bathroom, there was a sound of water, and Blaise hurriedly took the brewed warm tea, held it in his palm, and stood at the door of the bathroom, waiting for Li Jun to come out.
"But she has already made a marriage to her master, and if she has a deposit, she can only serve her master alone. Blaise said earnestly.
Squeak~~
The bathroom door opened, and Li Jun, who was wearing a bathrobe, walked out of it, naturally took the teapot in Blaize's hand, rubbed her hair, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Blaise to be more conservative than me." β
In the city of Edbele, the wife is the private property of her husband, and she cannot speak to a strange or even familiar man without her husband's consent. Blaise said.
Li Jun sighed lightly and took out a book from the ring. Li Jun can't remember who the original title is called "On the Emancipation of the Mind", but he copied a few paragraphs from the literary works on the emancipation of the mind in his previous life and used his own words. It all came together.
Blaise has been with Li Jun for a few years, and he has not lost a day of reading and literacy, and he is the first group of people in Edbele City to get rid of illiteracy.
"Go back and read it well, it's okay to attend a few banquets, dance banquets or something. Li Jun said.
Blaise sneered and lowered his head, looking at his rough little hands. He said softly, "But Blaise is just a maid. β
"You are not a slave, although you don't have a knighthood, but you are also my Li Jun's maid, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks, come back and tell me, I will catch them one by one and beat them hard!" Li Jun said a little arrogantly.
Blaise smiled softly, mumbled, and nodded heavily.
"That unconscious little girl, do you have to ruin your reputation and splash me with dung?" Suddenly sighed.
Although he does not have the slightest emotion with Princess Tiran, it is completely the marriage imposed on Li Jun by the black-bellied Corot XVII, but a king personally advises you to marry, can you still refuse?
Originally, I saw that Princess Tiran, who looked good and looked good, and it was okay to take it home to warm the bed, but even the other party didn't want to see him, and he wanted to pour feces on himself, and he was not as well-behaved as Blaise at all.
"Yes. As soon as this marriage is concluded, this lord will not be able to flirt around like before. Li Jun helplessly held a mark in his mouth and lay on the rocking chair. The clouds were swallowed and the fog was spewed.
The war is over.
The nearly two-year-long war ended the other day with the birth of an agreement.
The Fifth Reich declared defeat, and after several fierce quarrels between the Ebyron Empire and the Coro Empire, an armistice was drawn up, and the whole city did not invite representatives of the Fifth Reich, and the two sides had full authority to dispose of it.
It was only the Fifth Reich that was defeated. None of the other two major empires admitted defeat, and if it weren't for the Koro Empire's strong demand that the Fifth Empire make an agreement according to the doctrine of defeat and surrender, this war would not have ended at all.
After the defeat of the Fifth Empire, the fundamental agreement demanded that all the territories of the Koro Empire be returned, and that 210 million gold coins be paid over 20 years.
You must know that the tax revenue of the entire Koro Empire is only a few hundred million gold coins a year, and the Fifth Empire, which is much worse than the Koro Empire's economy, if it can't get the financial assistance of the Aberron Empire, the whole country will have to tighten their belts and live a tight life, and the economy will be in a depression within 50 years.
Coro XVII is seriously ill!
Under the internal and external troubles, he finally dragged down the old Koro XVII, if it weren't for these years, he was often summoned by the Zhuhel Sword Saint and devoted himself to practice, it is estimated that on the way back to Beijing, Koro XVII would have died.
Koro XVII, who was recuperating in the imperial capital, handed over all the power in his hands to the ministers with full discretion. No one thinks this is a sign that Corot XVII is no longer good, he has always been low-key, and his political achievements are mediocre, but in the past few years, he has played a black political and military conspiracy, purging the imperial capital and border opposition, and in this war, the Eberon Empire has been deflated again and again, occupying the initiative.
However, Corot XVII's illness was real, otherwise, he would not have wanted to end this battle so quickly.
Because Corot XVII knew that he should not be able to recover from this disease, and he would die at any time in the past few years, and he must ensure the stability of the border and give the safe transition of the throne to the next king.
Therefore, when the Ebelon Empire proposed an armistice, Coro XVII agreed without much hesitation, making the Fifth Empire a military buffer zone between the two empires, and the independent city-states and territories near the principality controlled by the original Dumeronc family were annexed by the Fifth Empire one by one, expanding its territory and tripling its territory.
The old politicians of the Koro Empire began to move around, aiming at the princes of Koro XVII, choosing the person who was most likely to become the next king, swearing allegiance, and assisting them wholeheartedly.
But after the coup d'Γ©tat of the fourth prince and the eighth prince in the imperial capital, and thus a complete defeat, all the princes did not dare to breathe, and honestly hid at home, not seeing anyone, and listened to the final ruling of Koro XVII in peace.
Don't fight, don't rob! Let countless old politicians scold angrily.
What kind of shitch is this?! Even if he becomes a king, he is a dumb king!
"Counting these princes, that is, the dead fourth prince and the eighth prince, are still like that, but unfortunately, their temperament is too dry, and they can't bear their thoughts......" An old official sighed when no one was around. (To be continued.) )
