Eltino 567, 111, 12th of the city, Reinsjacob

The turmoil after the proclamation of Lancelot was inevitable, and the reason why he was able to call on a large number of Shets to help occupy the city of Jacob was because of the contact of Youxue and the promise of a heavy reward. At present, Lancelot has not thought of where to get this money, but if there is really no way to do it, it will probably have to start with the people of Jacob.

Plunder, it doesn't sound good, but if it is changed to tax, then it is more in the past, anyway, when you see the situation at the time, it is better to do it.

The main reason for the success of today's raid operation is still Niel. When she blasted most of the city wall into the sky with a casual blow, soaring dozens of feet into the air, the garrison in charge of the city defense did not say a second word, and all surrendered.

Youxue also helped a lot, relying on the information provided by the Sheters, they attacked the warehouse of the Jacob City garrison in advance and took out weapons from it, so that they could take control in one fell swoop.

After confirming that he had taken full control of the city and that there was no problem for the time being, after handing over the control of the city to Nil, Lancelot had to face the problems he had to face.

The first was his wife, Reins. Tiren's previous ruler. In any case, it was a good intention for Leah to pass on the throne to herself, and it was a very rude thing for Leah to live up to such a good intention and use this means to seize the throne, for which Lancelot felt that he had to apologize to his wife and give an explanation.

At first glance, Lancelot was really surprised.

The garment on his wife's body was not the white gauze gown she had worn since she became a spirit, nor was it the elegant gown she had worn when she was a queen. Contrary to the long skirt of the past, the one she was wearing now was a style that Lancelot had never seen before, a well-cut, neatly styled suit, a white shirt, a light green jacket and a narrow skirt, just right to wear on her body.

With waist-length hair, now only the length of a shawl, two gold pens stuck in her coat pockets, and a notebook in her hand, and thin-framed gold-rimmed glasses on her face, the wife's new look gives a shrewd and capable look.

"This ...... What kind of dress is this?" Lancelot said, "Leah, you ......"

"I'm not Leah, I'm the one lying in the crystal coffin. ”

"What do you mean? Who are you in front of me? I've never heard of you having twin sisters. ”

"Leah. Dis. Rapp her. Cangyue, this woman is dead, and my name is Cangyue Grass now. Xiaocao smiled and said, "Do you understand? Queen Leia of Reyns is no longer here, and I am by your side at this moment, just a companion who escaped from Eltino with you, called Cangyue Cao, please advise me in the future!"

His wife's words silenced Lancelot for a moment, and before long, he whispered, "Why do you do this?"

"Because I want to cut off all the involvement in the past, since my husband you think that those things can't help you, but will only bother you, then I will throw it all away, and leave nothing behind. Xiaocao said: "In the future, whatever you do, just think about yourself, and don't worry about Queen Leah's position, so it's much easier!"

Lancelot was speechless for a moment. There is a considerable factor in the way that he will declare himself king by seizing the city of Jacob, because he is unwilling to inherit his wife's dowry, and it feels that what is not earned by his own efforts, even if he sits on it, he will only be secretly ridiculed.

Maybe it's just a senseless self-esteem, but Lancelot can't stand it to let things go on like this, so he conspires with Nill and Yuxue to get to where he is today. Unexpectedly, his inner struggle seemed to have been seen in the eyes of his wife, and she not only accepted her willfulness completely, but also made such a big effort to cooperate with herself, thinking of the deep affection in it, Lancelot was really moved.

"Heh, why don't you seem to be able to hide it from you!"

"I'm also trying my best to pretend to be deceived by you! But husband, your way of thinking is too straight, it's not hard to guess!"

"Hmm...... Actually, I like to call you Xiaocao more than Leah. Lancelot took his wife's hand, sat her down beside him, and asked, "Why is it called Cangyue Grass?

"The moon refers to Reyns. Tillen's Cangyue County, the queen's direct fiefdom, and the queens of all generations have served as the queen's duchess in the capacity of the duchess of Cangyue. Xiaocao said softly: "Mom uses my fiefdom to make my name." For me, it's my mother's legacy, and even if I throw away everything about Reyns, I want to keep it, husband, is that okay?"

"Of course, you have too many things to throw away for me. Lancelot sighed, "I'm such a useless man, I've always been a ...... for you."

Without letting Lancelot continue, Xiaocao stood up and said with a smile: "Since Queen Leah has finished playing, I am also bankrupt, and now I am penniless, just a useless little woman, except for my own talent, I can't give you any substantial inheritance, so ...... In the future, I will ask my husband to support me. ”

"What nonsense, supporting the family, is a man's responsibility!" Lancelot hugged his wife, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xiaocao, then you will show up and follow me in front of people in the future, aren't you afraid of being recognized?"

"That's why I'm going to disguise myself, and I'm going to put my hair down and cover the left side of my face, so that people won't be recognizable. ”

Watching his wife show off her hair hanging down and covering the left side of her face, Lancelot sighed, "You're really getting more and more like a ghost......

"Heh, I'm settled here, so what should I do with the other half?" Xiaocao, who was praised as becoming more and more like a ghost, pulled up his hair, and said with a smile: "I just need to be hugged and kissed by my husband, but this method doesn't work for him!"

It really doesn't work!

In the face of this kind of Gengoro, Lancelot didn't say hugs, and he didn't even know how to speak.

He had said before that there is no sloppy priest in the world with his hair and nose picked, and now although he is not picking his nostrils, he has messy sideburns, blank eyes, and an embarrassed appearance that has not slept for dozens of days.

"Uh...... This one...... About what just happened...... I want to ......"

"Alas...... Don't do it! Don't do it! Find another job!" Without looking at Lancelot beside him, Gengoro sighed, and sent the plan he had sorted out earlier, page by page, into the furnace, and turned to ashes in the blazing flames.

"No one pays attention to what he says, he doesn't care about every opinion he puts forward, and even the things he promised are temporarily changed, and he has to be a nasty guy, and he will be so angry that he will have a cerebral hemorrhage and fall to the ground at any time...... Alas!I can't do it!I can't go on!It's better to go back~~It's better to go back~~"

Gengoro sang as he spoke, his voice was not as elegant as usual, full of vicissitudes of the market, like a tramp selling rags, the miserable feeling made Lancelot listen to it, and bursts of cold sweat rose straight up.

"Don't be so upset! if nothing else, at least you still have Niel, don't you? As long as Niel is here, you won't run away!"

The purpose of these words was to persuade him, but he didn't expect Gengoro to hear this, stop singing, and look at Lancelot with wide eyes.

"You...... Boss, how do you say that...... Do you think I'm only helping you for Miss Nil?"

"Uh...... I'm sorry, I'm really wrong about you, I ......."

“...... Actually, it is. ”

The other party lowered his head and replied in a semi-silent manner, which made Lancelot want to punch him directly, but in the end, he still handed over a bottle of ale in his hand.

Two big men, when they drink together, are easier to talk to.

"No matter how bad it is, the matter has already been done, and it is impossible to turn back, so you just look away a little and draw up a new plan!"

"It's easy to say! I don't have money, no soldiers, no manpower, and I don't have any resources, so what do you tell me to do?" Gengoro was silent for a long time, and said: "God, even if you capture Reins, it is not as easy as you think, first of all, you must have an army......"

"Ah, with you, me, and Nier, it should be worth hundreds of thousands of troops!"

"If you're just sabotage, Miss Nil's Deep Blue Verdict alone is worth an army of 100,000. Gengoro said:

"But the founding of the country is a creative work, being able to kill hundreds of thousands of people does not mean that you can rule hundreds of thousands of people, even if you have the power of heaven, you can't be omnipresent, without the cooperation of your subordinates, in the end you can only get an empty city with all the residents running away. ”

"This ...... It's such a hassle!"

"The responsibility of becoming a king is very heavy, as long as you don't think carefully, your decision may endanger the lives of thousands of people. ”

Gengoro said: "Don't talk about the future, just how to pay those Xuete people, I think it will be difficult for you to settle down, although it is said that horizontal and vertical are also spoofed to this point, it makes little difference whether you wash the whole city or not...... But the most important thing is, how are you going to enter the city tomorrow? If the people still refuse you to enter the city, what you say on the stage today will become a big joke. ”

When it comes to how to get into the shitta, Lancelot still feels like his head is big. His declaration of becoming a king is indeed full of power, but Jixia is the capital of the King of Reins, and the Jixia School Palace in it is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and there are countless strange people, and it is really hard for even me to believe that one of my speeches can scare them.

Gengoro looked at him with a slightly mocking gaze, and Lancelot wanted to speak, but he was short of words, when the wind blew, and a slender figure appeared in the room.

"Husband, please leave first, and leave it to me first!"

To convince Gengoro that it was indeed beyond his own power, Lancelot knew that he should use his wife's power at this moment, and left with a sentence: "Lonely men and widows are in the same room, don't do some strange things!" and left.

Gengoro didn't say anything, seeing the new shape of the person in front of him, he could somewhat understand the other party's mood.

"Now you are ......"

"Cangyue Grass. My husband's bed companion and confidential secretary, please advise. ”

Taking the business card handed by the other party and preparing it at some point, Gengoro said, "This is your choice! No matter how stupid he is, do you support him unreservedly?"

"Of course. Don't you think we need to reflect on the reason for planning to make my husband king?" Xiaocao said: "Give him great power so that he can have more strength to overcome the dangers that will come, and to do what he really wants; if he wants everything to do what we want, how is that different from operating a puppet? This is not my original intention. ”

"But you must know that governing the country is not child's play, and if he does not change his approach and act as he does today, his decisions will put thousands of Reins to death in the future, as the former queen...... No, as a Reyns man, it doesn't matter if you watch your country turn into hell?

If Lancelot was present, he would have been very surprised, because Gengoro, who rarely showed his inner feelings, had a strong anger in his words, and it was obvious that he was really deeply dissatisfied with Kokusa's important approach.

It's just that, in the face of him like this, a strange smile appeared on Xiaocao's face, almost a sneer, which was not what she wanted, but it couldn't help but appear on her face.

"So, what do you think I should think of Reins?" Xiaocao said coldly, "Look at the life of this queen who has relied on erosion...... to be able to continue...... After sucking up my mother's happy motherland all her life, what kind of mood do you think I should use to be grateful to her?"

Gengoro's body shook violently, and he almost gasped. He never estimated that there would be this scene at this moment, and at this time, he confirmed her mood from the other party's self-restraint and excitement. "I see! You are qualified to say so, as Teacher Mei Lin said, you who inherited the resentment of the queens of the past 5,000 years are the most qualified person to say so......

"Gossip Moti. You and I both know the true meaning of the plan to become king...... It has been 2,000 years since the end of the Kyushu War, and the safety period predicted at the beginning is almost over, and the frequent activity of the demons on the island of Nishikoga in recent years can be regarded as a harbinger of their large-scale operation. ”

Xiaocao said: "According to records, before the outbreak of the war, there were a lot of virtuous kings and saints on the mainland, but in the end, they were slaughtered by the demons, and all the saints and sages were torn apart. Therefore, I hope that you, as the descendant of the Three Sages, will fulfill the secret covenant of 2,000 years ago and choose my husband as the representative of the unity. ”

After this request, there was a period of silence in the room, after which, Gengoro said in a tired voice: "I can't rush to respond to the big things I want to represent, and since his direction deviates from my original plan, I need time to think about whether to continue to support him......"

"No problem. I'll give you time. Xiaocao smiled slightly, and her figure gradually faded.

"One more thing. You're going to enter the royal capital tomorrow, so you really plan to use this group of Shet miscellaneous soldiers to break through the city gate and carry out a massacre!"

"No, that's boring. Xiaocao smiled: "The lord of a country has entered the royal capital for the first time, at such an important moment, of course, the people in the city must take the initiative to open the door and welcome us in!"

As the night wore on, it was time for people everywhere to go to bed, but the reporters released by Jacob were struggling to deliver first-hand information.

There was only one shocking piece of news, the leader of the forty thieves of Alibaba, who called himself "I will", and swore in the throne as emperor in the city of Jacob in Reyns.

There is no real territory and people, no army, and no resources, such a one-sided declaration is in fact nothing more than ridiculous rhetoric, although he did occupy the city of Jacob, but this is probably the limit of his rampantness, and this level alone is not very meaningful, let alone noteworthy.

There are two reasons why intelligence networks will be in the spotlight:

First, at least on the surface, Queen Leah did cede the kingdom to him in her suicide note, in other words, Lancelot, who inherited the queen's will, is the most unqualified but most qualified of the many people competing for the throne at present.

The second factor is Lancelot's strength. Although the number of his henchmen in the information is less than one thousandth of the garrison of Jacob City, even he himself already has two heavenly masters, which makes any of the seven major sects stunned, and the effect of raising troops is worth more than 10,000 horses.

Coupled with the hostile declaration made by the White Deer Cave before, it showed that he attached great importance to this person, so the content of Jacob's declaration flowed through the intelligence dissemination network of the Wind Continent as quickly as possible.

Even though it was late at night, the Altino court still received the news, but the officials were unable to react. First of all, in their hearts, Lancelot is just a straw coward who is difficult to achieve, and the content of Jacob's declaration is even more absurd, and it seems that there is no need to make a fuss; moreover, Emperor Irtinor, who gave orders in ordinary times, had already traveled with his favorite retainer Shi Chong a few days ago, and he was not in the Central Capital at all, and the rest of the people did not dare to act on their own, and of course they could not respond in time.

The main fort of Medici's house in Zhongdu was broken into by the Assassins a few days ago, and although no one was injured, I heard that the house was demolished a lot, and then somehow, the Assassins who had been captured broke through the prison and escaped. Hülegü told his subordinates that in order to avoid the return of the assassins, he would leave for the time being, go out to inspect the place, and rectify the rule of officials, so he took his entourage, drove the sports car, and traveled south.

The condolence envoys sent by the palace only saw the Blue Eyebrow Elder who was in charge of staying behind, and a large number of craftsmen who rebuilt the main fort, and they looked at each other in amazement.

If Marshal Zhou Gongjin of the Second Group Army was still there, it would be fine, but he hurried to the royal capital a few days ago, and after Cao Shou left the city, he and his henchman Jiang Zhong left quickly, and his current whereabouts are unknown, so that there is no one who can be the master of the huge central capital Wangcheng.

In the minds of the officials, the military affairs in the northwest are heavy, and Generalissimo Zhou must rush back immediately to avoid extraneous branches, however, the world is often as difficult as people's compassion, Zhou Gongjin not only did not return to the northwest station, but instead took his confidant Jiang Zhong south into the free city, and came to Shangri-La, the most prosperous city that never sleeps on the mainland.

"Thanks to your assistance over the past few days, I would like to express my gratitude to you on behalf of my teacher. ”

Since we are here on behalf of Mr. Lu Da, it is also our honor to be able to serve him. ”

The answer was very polite, but it also contained another meaning: if you hadn't come to entrust her as a land envoy, it would have been impossible for her to assist to this extent in her capacity as the commander of the Second Legion. In other words, it means that the relationship is now the limit, and it refuses to cooperate further.

Gong Jin is not a talker, but the woman behind the bead curtain is an object that should be fought for, so he has to go against his nature and talk to him again and again.

Behind Gong Jin, Jiang Zhong held his breath and stared at the bead curtain in front of him. After a special technique of stringing round pearls the size of a thumb with a soft luster, so that people cannot see the scenery behind them clearly, a woman in black gauze reclines on a soft couch and talks to Gong Jin.

The incense burner beside her, with a faint fragrance of gardenias, white smoke, and beaded curtains, not only makes people unable to see the things behind the curtains, but also makes the whole room hazy, everything seems to be in a dream.

The strange thing is that although she can't see the appearance, the rhythm of this woman's movements seems to have a kind of terrifying and bewitching charm, the snow-white skin under the thin black veil bursts with a soft luster, although there is no trace of warmth on the whole body, but it naturally makes the viewer blush and heartbeat, and the snort becomes thicker.

Cold sweat flowed all over his body, trying his best to restrain his emotions, Jiang Zhong couldn't help but admire the coach's extraordinary determination. He knew that this woman must be the same as her peer Hao Kelian, a natural beauty with a charming bone type, but the latter was still a girl, and the former already exuded the charm of a young woman.

If it weren't for the entourage of Lord Gong Jin, with his status in the rivers and lakes, he would not be able to see this woman in ten lifetimes, and it was also to show his respect for this woman, so Gong Jin specially came to Shangri-La and made a commission as a land travel envoy.

In Zhongdu that day, Gong Jin had made the decision to go to Reyns, but after thinking about it, Lancelot was the Prince of Reyns at this time after all, although he knew that this person was very harmful to Eltino and must be eradicated as soon as possible, but if it clashed with him by force in this way, the Reins court would have to defend him even if he was unwilling, and in that case, Gong Jin and his party would be in a disadvantageous situation of going deep into the enemy's territory.

It had already been deduced that Ria would pass the throne to her husband, and then received a message from Ziyu, so Gong Jin turned to Free City, using the intelligence system of the Qinglou Alliance, instigating the Reyns people's favorite public opinion offensive and revealing the news of Lancelot's possible succession to the throne early, causing the Reins to launch a boycott.

The project had been successful so far, and the results were remarkable, until there was a strange noise under the floor, and a black-clad attendant burst out of the secret passage on the floor, reported the latest news he had just received to his master, and then disappeared into the cabinet on the left. A piece of paper floated through the bead curtain and landed in front of Gong Jin. It was the news of Lancelot's capture of Jacob, and the full text of what would later be known as Jacob's Declaration.

"It's a pity, Lord Gongjin, the other party's reaction seems to be a little unusual!"

"It was really unexpected...... I didn't expect him to make such a move. ”

Gong Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he knew that his ability was insufficient and he failed to grasp everything, he really didn't expect that the other party's actions would be so outrageous. It can only be said that to use human wisdom to speculate on the actions of monkeys, sometimes it is really ridiculous.

According to Ziyu's information, Lancelot has a resourceful person like Gengoro by his side, and there is no reason to sit back and watch him make such a mistake of falling into a Jedi, so ...... I am afraid that this declaration of Jacob is a nonsense act to hide all the staff in the dark! What a hard work it is for the people under him to follow such a leader......

He was also a chess player, he was worried about the relationship between Eltino and Reins, and he was not yet hostile, so it was inconvenient to directly resort to force against Lancelot, so he changed his direction to come to the free city, who would have thought that this stupid monkey who entered Reyns would have made such a ridiculous declaration, if he had followed him at the beginning, he would have enough righteous name now to directly use force to eradicate him, and he would not have to sit back and watch the opportunity disappear, and he would have been strangled in vain.

In James' declaration, the only purpose of becoming a queen is to unify the continent of winds. The meaning of this sentence is to declare war on the various forces on the current continent at the same time, which is something that arrogant and arrogant people dare not do, but Lancelot did it, which is not so much arrogant as stupid!

Gong Jin doesn't like to belittle the intelligence of his opponent at will, because if the opponent is not worth it, then the hostile self is not a big deal. But at this moment, he really couldn't find any other adjectives as he gazed at Jacob's declaration......

After a brief polite greeting, Gong Jin ended the visit, followed the guidance of the attendants, and walked out of the reception room, ready to leave.

It wasn't until he was far away from the room that Jiang Zhong was relieved and let out a long breath, freed from the tight pressure.

As the deputy of the commander of the Second Legion of Eltino, he had long been accustomed to seeing big people from all sides, and he should not be so nervous, but the lady he met with was really extraordinary, and in some respects, she was a figure of equal status to the three great swords.

I have heard Gong Jin say that the committee in charge of the Qinglou is re-elected every three years, but it is just a cover to deceive the world, and the one who really rules the alliance between Shangri-La and the Qinglou is the leader of a mysterious organization, a woman whose true face no one knows, the Queen of Darkness of the Wind Continent.

The operation of the Qinglou Alliance's power is far more far-reaching than it seems on the surface, even though it is still unknown how many masters there are, but just the various unknown information and secrets that have been collected for a long time are enough to make the strongmen of all parties deeply fearful.

In addition to entrusting public opinion warfare, Gong Jin also has the expectation that he can further make friends and conclude alliances. Today's Al Tieno, there is the potential pressure of Lancelot and others outside, the instability factors of Shi Chong and Hua Tianxie inside, Cao Shou himself is mediocre and incompetent, none of the princes are successful, and Hulegu's movements are unknown, relying only on Gongjin to support him, he really needs some strong and powerful comrades.

Helplessly, the other party politely declined further cooperative relations, which is also something that can be helped. Leaving the big house where the other party lived, Gong Jin walked and saw the night scenes of Shangri-La, bustling and noisy, singing and dancing, and feeling a lot in his chest.

A few miles to the southwest, is a magnificent, very artistic appearance of the big building, vermilion dragon pillars, golden glazed tiles, still shining magnificent in the night, the end is extraordinary. It is the largest performing arts plaza in the local area, and it is also one of Shangri-La's famous attractions, Fengxiang Building.

The lights are bright, even if you are separated by a few miles, you can still feel the crowd over there, the warm atmosphere, Shangri-La's most popular singer Leng Mengxue, is holding a concert there tonight, therefore, in an expensive box in Fengxianglou, you can probably find the figure of Emperor Ertino and the commander of the First Army.

Although he knew, Gong Jin had no intention of going to greet him. Shi Chong has never been on good terms with him, and if they meet, they will have to make a mockery and sarcasm, and sow discord with Cao Shou by the way. If it is picked when the wine is hot, the provocation will work, maybe Cao Shou will sign the holy decree in a daze and remove him, the commander of the second army.

In fact, at present, the five major army commanders of Eltino, each of them have a solid force, and the emperor cannot control the personnel power at all, if Cao Shou issued an order to remove the commander of the third and fifth army units, without waiting for the two parties to express their opinions, the angry Medici and the children of the Wang Zi family will probably immediately raise troops to kill the central capital. But only he, the commander of the second legion, knew that what the Holy Decree said was wrong, but he could only obey, at least not disobey it head-on...... Because it's a promise you make to someone...... A promise that would never be taken back......

"My lord, what is our destination ......now?" Jiang Zhong omitted the name of the coach and asked about his next move, as he was in a foreign land.

"Let's go to Reins!" Gong Jin said: "After a big circle, we still have to go back to the original point in the end, since they have already expressed their attitude, then we will use the most direct way to solve the matter." ”

Hearing these words with obvious use of force, Jiang Zhong couldn't help but be a little worried. After the news of Queen Leah's death came out that day, Gong Jin once analyzed that Amakusa Shiro went to the wedding to kill on a large scale, with his peerless sword, how could Lancelot's side be lucky? But in the end, although Lia died, Lancelot and the others did not suffer any casualties, which means that they must have used some methods to repel Amakusa Shiro.

Although I don't know what kind of strategy it is, if they can defeat a strong heaven master, their strength should not be underestimated, in other words, they must be regarded as equal to the same strong heaven master.

The strength of their own Heavenly Position, Hua Cripple and Hao Kelian are all first-class powerhouses, plus Zi Yu, the first person in the Small Heavenly Rank, this combination is absolutely strong, but against a strong Heavenly Rank master, how many chances can he have? Jiang Zhongzhong was very worried.

"Don't be so uneasy, the past is safe. Gong Jin lightly soothed the worries of his subordinates and looked at the carriage behind the two.

"When necessary, this last weapon will definitely have the power to turn the tide of the war......"

Jiang Zhong followed the coach's gaze. The things in the carriage were picked up by Gong Jin in person in the White Deer Cave before they left Zhongdu, and they have been sealed in the carriage since then, and they have not seen the light of day. I had a vague glance and saw that it was a coffin-like thing. Listening to what the boss said, it was actually a "weapon", what kind of magic weapon was it that deserved Lord Gongjin's high hopes?
