"What a fart! No, of course not!"

The most fierce reaction to Lancelot's proposal was Gengoro, who is currently budget-conscious and worried about everyone's finances.

"Now we don't have extra spare money on hand, it's good if you don't want the boss to save money, like this kind of extra expenses, you can avoid it, besides, it costs a lot of money to open this kind of big banquet, and you can't draw this kind of big money in this kind of budget. ”

It took a lot of effort for Gengoro to get acquainted with many elders of the palace faction, and he relied on his handsome face that deceived the dead and did not pay for his life, and won the favor of the other party, so they were willing to allocate more funds. Otherwise, the original budget is only enough to cover the basic living expenses, and it is simply not enough to afford the additional expenses.

"Well, how about holding a celebration party? People will have a celebration party when they move to a new house, and I will hold a drinking party to celebrate the new owner of the ivory white tower, which should not be too much!"

"No. Often. Pass. Boss, you don't want to care, everyone else is holding the enthronement ceremony of the king of a country, only us, after entering the ivory white tower for so long, is still only the lord of the palace, neither power nor land, such a celebration will only give people a smile. Besides, the money you have at hand has its own purpose, and if you want to do it, you have to pay for it!"

Shouldering the burden of collecting funds for everyone, Gengoro's speaking status has greatly increased. In order to make Lancelot die, he made a list of the current budget for Lancelot to see.

Lancelot intended to cut several of them to raise funds, but was immediately vetoed by Gengoro on irrefutable grounds.

"These money are all necessary expenses, and it will be very detrimental to us to change them casually, if you really want to delete them, then delete the boss of your meal money first, or Miss Xiaocao's share, and the horizontal ghost doesn't need to eat, so it's natural to delete it. ”

In the end, it was the silent grass that opened its mouth. She patted her husband on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You can't open up another fund, so you can cooperate in two things! Three days later, on December 2nd, there will be a meeting in the Ivory White Tower, husband, you can bring your friends, let's have a good drink and make a scene!"

Lancelot flipped through the budget book, and sure enough, he saw this expenditure, which was a month after the Queen's death and the end of all the ceremonies, and the court elders allocated a large amount of money, hoping to express their condolences to Queen Ria, and if this money was transferred to the celebration fund, it would be more than enough.

"Wife, I'm so sorry for you. I'm going to have a celebration at your funeral before your bones are cold, and I'm sorry to think about it. ”

"It's okay, the deceased himself agrees! The funeral doesn't have to be solemn and grand, husband, you just find more people to come, set off fireworks, sing big plays, juggle, and have a good time!"

"Hey!" interrupted the deep love between the two of them, it was Gengoro with a blank face, "Can you talk a little like a normal person!"

As Gengoro expected, when he heard that there was going to be a big celebration at the queen's final funeral, the court elders led by Bai Dezhao were all angry and opposed after being stunned for a while.

However, Lancelot didn't care about their feelings, and now that the money was in hand, he happily went to prepare for the drinking party with Youxue.

For Lancelot, the action of letting a group of ordinary people enter the Ivory White Tower and have a lively drink seems to have some special significance, but he can't grasp it for a while.

However, in the process of preparation, he had a doubt, and when he mentioned it to his wife, Xiao Cao Deng was greatly surprised.

"Are you saying that the boss suspects that there will be other forces that will take advantage of the climax of this funeral and make a move?" After listening to Xiaocao's relay, Gengoro groaned.

"It's not impossible, Reyns is in a civil war, and it would be unreasonable if the foreign powers didn't do anything, but so far, the parties have been silent, and I think it's almost time for them to make a move. ”

The main hostile forces are from Altino, but they can be subdivided into several units. The most direct influence, of course, is the Huazi family, the Shi family and the Medici family adjacent to Reins, but because the whereabouts of the head of the house are unknown, there is no action of Ren He.

But outside the Seven Great Sects, Xiaocao and Gengoro would never dare to despise the existence of the White Deer Cave, let alone forget the man who represented the White Deer Cave at the moment.

"The boss's idea is not wrong, the Qinglou Alliance has just sent me a message, and I think the same news will come from the intelligence network of the Demon Guild soon. Gengoro said: "The commander of the Second Legion of Ertino, Marshal Zhou Gongjin, has entered Reyns and came to the court, in the name of being the messenger of the White Deer Cave, to pay tribute to the queen, and I believe that he will receive a request to watch the ceremony today and tomorrow." ”

"It's finally time to come. Xiaocao said: "The question is, what is the purpose of coming?

"Not only him, but all those who had other intentions at the funeral believed that they had two purposes: espionage and assassination. Gengoro said: "If the declaration of war is declared by Jacob, the enemies of the radical faction will naturally want to kill the boss before he can stabilize the overall situation; as for those who are clear-headed, they should plan to use this opportunity to find out the bottom of the boss and see how many talents and resources he has around him as the basis for future hostility." ”

"As far as you can see, will Generalissimo Zhou be the former, or the latter?"

"The latter. But be careful, he is not without the ability to put the former into practice. Gengoro said: "Zhou Gongjin does not represent just the Second Group Army. After the Great War of Kyushu, I heard that Lu You had developed a lot of techniques to suppress the Heavenly Position Warfare, and if all the resources of the White Deer Cave were in his hands, then he would most likely have a weapon that we did not know. In addition to this, there is one more thing that could also be their target......"

Gengoro said, his eyes moved to Xiaocao, and the same four characters appeared in the mouths of the two at the same time.

"The Queen's coffin. ”

Queen Leah's death is undoubtedly an important key to this whole thing, and with Zhou Gongjin's shrewdness, he will inevitably want to investigate the mystery of the queen's life and death. Since the Queen's coffin will inevitably appear at the funeral, it is the best opportunity to actually verify.

Now that we have this consensus, we need to make preparations for this.

At this time, Nier, who returned from the self-study palace, stinks and brings very bad news.

The messenger of the news was the secret envoy of the Qinglou Alliance, and it seemed that such a confidential matter should be sealed in a special way, and it was necessary to inform Gengoro in person. However, it was probably because the Qinglou Alliance caught Gengoro's mentality too well, and the secret envoy directly informed Ni'er, who was going back to the palace, and asked her to summon the news on his behalf.

"The group of cowards of the Hua family seems to have moved, the latest information of the Qinglou Alliance, they began to reorganize their armaments, and planned to go east to the north gate of Tiankai, cooperate with the rebels, and suppress the royal capital in one fell swoop. ”

Gengoro and Kokusa looked at each other, and they both saw a choke and a sigh in each other's eyes.

It must be known that it is easy to invite God and difficult to send God, and the Hua family army has come out of the customs in a big way, even if the two armies can annihilate the enemy, it is impossible for the Hua family forces to retreat, and when the time comes, Bai Xing will ascend to the throne, at least five provinces will have to be cut off as a thank-you gift.

Such a consequence, Bai Xing should not have thought of it, but he still invited the Hua family to participate in the joint attack, the only explanation is that he wants to call the king crazy, as long as he can reduce those few heavenly enemies as soon as possible, it doesn't matter what.

Xiaocao thought about it for a while, and also thought of another possibility. Maybe there is no choice during the day, the Hua family has been defeated again and again, and now the situation is stormy, the children are leaving, the heart, there is a slight major change, a long-standing big family, maybe it will disperse.

The only way is to take advantage of the civil strife in Reyns to send troops into the country to take advantage of it, and if you want to stop it during the day, there is no way, so you can simply negotiate interests with them directly, so as to save the civil war from becoming more and more chaotic, and in the end, the entire Reins will also be swallowed by the Hua family.

But this matter really should not be underestimated, because for Lancelot, he can only hold Jixia City at present, and he does not even have the strength to send troops outside the city.

It's not that there is no contingency plan, and both Kokusa and Gengoro have a few strategies in their minds, but before they can be implemented, they need to be approved by the highest decision-maker.

When he found Lancelot, he was shirtless, carrying a wine bottle in his hand, directing Youxue and the palace servants to prepare for the banquet, and when he saw his wife and brother-in-law coming, he blinked and asked with a smile: "Is the Hua family ready to send troops?"

This question surprised the two think-tanks, with Lancelot's qualifications and reaction in military science, it was impossible for him to calculate this matter, and the secret envoy of the Qinglou Alliance would not report to him, so how did he know that this should be a first-class secret information?

"It's hard to explain, anyway, I think that rice bucket brother should almost have a move. ”

It's really not easy to explain, but in the fight in the ring that day, I can vaguely feel that Hua Tianxie's fighting motive is not pure, in addition to winning the victory, it also seems to have the meaning of fighting for love.

This is the conclusion that Lancelot came to by accident when he reviewed the battle that day alone, but although he had such a feeling, after all, it was not good to check with his wife in person, but if his feelings were true, with his manic personality, it was impossible to sit idly by and watch an enemy who took away his love and was at ease in Reyns, then it would not be a big accident that the Hua family would make a move.

This consideration was not focused on by Kokusa and Gengoro, and with this conclusion, Lancelot was very proud to appreciate the rare surprised expressions of his wife and brother-in-law.

But what surprised the two even more was yet to come.

In response to the invasion of the Hua family not long after, Gengoro put forward this opinion: Although it is inhumane, but if you take care of it, the children of the Hua family have been rampant and domineering in their territory, and enter Reins, how can there be no reason not to plunder?

In doing so, the people's grievances will arise, and this responsibility will be blamed on the conspirators of Bai Xing, and at that time, Lancelot's side will be able to become a hero of the country in the name of crusading against the national thieves, and will have the full support of the Reyns people.

"Of course, things may not be so smooth, but we can also add fuel to the fire and plant this scandal on the head of the Hua family, as long as the media of all parties cooperate properly, it can have the desired effect. "Gengoro's meaning is very clear, when necessary, burning, killing and robbery can be done by Lancelot's side, and the horizontal and vertical accounts are recorded on the head of Hua Tianxie, and the direction of the people's resentment is only towards that side.

Listening to this proposal, Xiaocao didn't say anything. is also a staff member, and he and Gengoro's identity should deal with it, etc., and even be more self-controlled, and can't take advantage of the intimate relationship between himself and Lancelot's wife, and make people unconvinced.

Moreover, the proposal was highly practical. The Hua family's dispatch of troops is not so much that Lancelot does not want to interfere, but rather that he is unable to interfere. If Gengoro's proposal is pushed along the water, then the people of Reins have no choice but to throw themselves on Lancelot's side, and at this time, the original vicious violence will be turned into force sufficient to defend their home and country, and the people will also re-understand that a strong monarch can give strong protection to the country.

Either way, the decision was still up to Lancelot, and unless he asked for advice, Xiaocao didn't intend to say anything at this point.

"No. After listening to Gengoro's proposal, Lancelot's answer was concise and forceful, "Reyns is my territory, my territory, how can I let those barbarians surnamed Hua ravage? ”

These words are really awe-inspiring, and if they are recorded in the annals of history, they will be immortal. However, the real reason is half-hearted.

"It is the power of the king to plunder the fruits of the people's hard work, if it is robbed by the Hua family now, how can Uncle Ben have anything to loot after he comes to power? This proposal is also very bad, for our future enjoyment, we are now desperately trying to prevent the Hua family from entering the country. ”

"Boss, don't talk so lightly. Gengoro frowned and said: "Even if the local defense team of Reins is mobilized, there is not enough strength to stop the Hua family, not to mention that we don't have half a soldier now, which army are you going to use to stop the Hua family?"

Lancelot raised the glass wine bottle in his hand and took a few sips before dropping his answer, "Army, don't we have such a thing? Transferring the five-color flag stationed on Alcatraz Island and fighting with the Hua family's army should be very interesting!"

Although they heard his words clearly, the two staff members did not understand the meaning of this passage for a while, and it took a long time before shock appeared on their faces.

"How is that possible? This is simply whimsical. Gengoro objected: "Boss, do you know what the consequences will be if the five-color flag is withdrawn from Nishikoga Island? or...... Do you know what the five-color flag is? It's no joke......

Isolated hundreds of miles north of Reins, known as the "Alcatraz Island", Xixi Koga Island has a huge dimensional entrance to the demon world, and it is also the only natural channel for the demons to come to the human world. The five-color flag stationed on the island with the "Magic Artillery Regiment", which has been famous since 3,000 years ago, is a unique strong force in Reyns.

Although since the Kyushu War, there are few demon strongmen in the world, but there are still many demon demons trying to enter the mainland from the island, if it weren't for the five-color flag always defending Yusi and forming an iron wall to defend it, I don't know how many demons will burn and destroy on the continent now, for the sake of harming the world?

"I really don't know what the five-color flag is, but since we can use it, and it's the only thing we can mobilize, let's use it for him!" Lancelot said: "The five-color flag swore not to participate in the civil war, but now it's not a civil war, and they should be happy to have the opportunity to let them defend their home and country!"

"That being said, their mission is..."

"Their mission is to prevent the enemy from invading our country, and now they are just moving their garrisons from north to west, and there is nothing wrong with that!"

"It's no wonder!The five-color banner left Xixi Koga Island, and the population of the realm was not suppressed by the army, if the demons noticed this and invaded on a large scale, the entire Wind Continent would be finished!"

"Oh! Then let it be finished! My sister and I are both good at martial arts, and my wife has become a ghost, even if the Wind Continent is finished, we can still open our hearts and hearts to survive. You're probably the only one of us who will worry about this kind of thing. ”

"Boss, even if you are selfish, you should think about it. Gengoro's voice was almost pleading, "If the demons invade from Alcatraz, the first to finish will not be Al Tieno and Wu Lian, but your Reins!

"No, no, you should think differently. Lancelot shook his head and said: "If the demons invade, the people will be miserable, in order to resist the invasion of the demons, we will have a reason to levy military expenses, enrich the treasury, and there will be a way to recruit troops, and the common people will also understand that a strong monarch is needed to protect them, in this way, we will become heroes to save the country...... Huh, did you just say that?"

“...... When did you learn Hulegu's set?"

"Don't wrinkle your face, think about it, the provinces along the coast now are all within the sphere of influence of the day, and if the demon clan invades, he will bear the brunt. If the demons are really as strong as the legend, it shouldn't be a problem to kill everyone on the other side of the day within three months. In this way, as long as we are comfortable with a banquet in the royal capital, the civil war will automatically end, and I can be the king of Reyns in the name of it, such an excellent tactic, what do you think?"

He couldn't say a word, although he knew that being this man's staff was a point of no return, but retribution came too soon......

With a sigh in his heart, Gengoro still tried to make a final effort.

"Boss, you can't do things like this, once the dimensional population of Alcatraz Island is lost, not only Reyns will be involved, but the entire Wind Continent will be implicated, do you want to become a great sinner for all mankind?"

"Who cares what kind of virtue he will have in the future if he doesn't even have a place for dinner today?" Waving his hand, Lancelot snorted: "Since this is the common responsibility of all mankind, then ask the old boy Cao Shou to send troops to garrison Alcatraz Island! Isn't it too unfair to let us take responsibility? I don't want to do the work of the savior, since it is the business of all mankind, all mankind should be responsible, and if everyone only knows how to blame each other, then let the human beings in the Wind Continent fucking perish together!"

Saying these words with a smile, although there was the smell of alcohol on his body, in the sunlight, Lancelot's smile was surprisingly calm.

Gengoro suddenly understood that the righteous brother was not a random and whimsical spoof, he had not done anything in the past ten days, I am afraid that he had already thought of this contingency in his heart.

It's not majesty, it's not convincing, there is indeed an inexplicable momentum in Ranslot, which gradually overwhelms Gengoro, making it difficult for him, who can speak well, to continue.

Although I can't give a clear answer, there seems to be something different about the boss?

Hmm, what the hell has he been doing in the past ten days? How could there be such a change?

Rao is the calm and wise of Gengoro, and he can't imagine what kind of situation it will turn into if Xixi Koga Island is withdrawn from now on?

"Boss, you are really a demon of the demon race......" This exclamation came out, but he saw that Xiaocao had lowered his head and wrote an old book in the information book in his hand.

"What are you doing? Don't hurry up and persuade your husband. ”

"Draw up a military order for the mobilization of the five-color flag. If the message is sent to Xixi Kejia Island as soon as possible, it can be withdrawn the day after tomorrow at the latest, and it should be able to reach the western border one step earlier than the Hua family's army. ”

Xiaocao said, looked up at Lancelot and smiled charmingly, and said, "Husband, look, I'm very well-behaved!"

"Well done, you're a great role model. ”

Listening to this conversation, Gengoro knew that he was a lone soldier again, and he was about to look up to the sky and sigh three times, when suddenly there was a commotion, and the miscellaneous servants who were busy arranging the banquet venue were scattered in an instant.

There was no one nearby where the three of them talked, but a few of the arguments between Lancelot and Gengoro were indeed too loud, and the topic just discussed, even if it was just a few words, was terrifying enough to listen to the ears of others.

"Huh, what's the matter, why did all the people run away?" Lancelot frowned, "It's not lunch time yet, it's really unconscionable...... Third child, why do you have a stinky face again?"

"It's nothing, you couple are waiting for the headlines of today's evening newspaper!"

It's not so much that Gengoro's prediction is extremely accurate, but that it's inevitable common sense. When a group of miscellaneous servants crawled out of the ivory white tower and spread the news of the new monarch's intention to withdraw troops from Alcatraz, it was only half an hour before the news spread through the streets and alleys of Jixia, and then it was transmitted through various intelligence networks.

Because they didn't hear it too clearly, they only knew that Lancelot was determined to withdraw his troops from Alcatraz, but they didn't know why he was withdrawing, but whatever the reason, the matter was not trivial, and the court elders were anxious to ask for clarification at the emergency meeting.

With gray hair and snow-white beards, this group of elders was even pale this time, and the hands holding the poles kept shaking, making a crisp sound of cups and plates colliding. They were supposed to discuss with Lancelot for Queen Leah's farewell ceremony, but now they had to deal with more serious issues.

The five-color flag stationed on West West Coga Island, the same as the Wizard Guild, directly obeys the orders of Queen Reins, and they have no right to manage, when the five-color flag has recognized Lancelot's royal power, only Lancelot has the ability to mobilize them, Huan Yan, as long as an order is given, the five-color flag will really be ordered to defend thoroughly.

"Your Royal Highness, there are rumors outside that you plan to withdraw to the island of Sisikoca, is this true?"

Lancelot was amused by the anxious and apprehensive expressions of the elders, and he used a newly learned political term.

"Elders, my answer to this matter is...... No comment. ”

With that, Lancelot walked out laughing, leaving behind a commotion and panic.

For Lancelot's side, the most important thing at the moment is to make the banquet on December 2 lively. Wouldn't it be a great shame to be sorry for yourself if you didn't squander the funds that you finally blackmailed?

In order to participate in Queen Leah's farewell ceremony, guests came from all over the world, and most of the seven major sects also sent envoys to participate, perhaps because they didn't want to show off, or they didn't want to offend the living, and the envoys were not very important.

Lancelot's side was automatically added to the list of imaginary enemies. Even if they knew that it was impossible to assassinate Lancelot, the Hua family would probably want to investigate the mystery of Queen Leia's life and death. As for which people the Hua family sent into the country, Lancelot's side was not clear. It's not that it can't be found, but there are too many suspicious characters, and it's hard to check, and horizontal and vertical are also characters that can be solved casually, so you don't have to spend more effort and effort.

In the end, the only ones who really had a heavyweight status were the captain of the Second Legion of Altino.

Originally, Zhou Gongjin only came on behalf of Bailu Cave, but perhaps because Cao Shou was dizzy in Shangri-La, he left behind the important matter of the bereaved envoy's mourning, and when he remembered that it was too late, he simply appointed Zhou Gongjin as an ambassador to mourn Reins on behalf of the emperor.

Compared with his important status, Gong Jin can be said to be quite light and simple, except for his henchman Jiang Zhong, there are only about a dozen disciples of Bailu Cave accompanying him.

Of course, a clear-eyed person knows in his heart that his true strength will not be so easily revealed on the surface.

Although it was held indecently by Lancelot, at the farewell ceremony, the queen's coffin would always be displayed in front of everyone, considering that this was one of the main targets of the enemy, and the security work was really heavy.

Assign the work well, Gengoro is confident, he should be able to make the enemies of all parties disgraced and not take advantage, but Xiaocao asked for another at this time, hoping that the day before the enemy arrives, he can have a dismount first.

The method is simple, and it is what Gengoro has long been used to: giving a speech on stage.

Only this time, the content of the speech was absolutely sensational, and the shock was enough to paralyze the entire Wind Continent intelligence network.

The legendary Lu You's first disciple finally appeared, and has already made a speech under the grass, believing that Lancelot, the new lord of Reyns chosen by the queen, is the talent of the peerless king, and he will do his best to assist Yu Si and create an immortal hegemony.

This speech is like dropping a big bomb in the Jixia School Palace, Gengoro, who was already in the limelight, now has the aura of Lu You's first apprentice, it is simply a sage-like existence, and many palace elders are almost respectful to it with an attitude of worship.

But everyone also knows that White Deer Cave's consistent position is to support Al Tino, and now this Lu You's first disciple who suddenly appeared said that he would swear allegiance to His Majesty Lancelot, so what choice will White Deer Cave, known as the number one faction today, make?

At the end of the speech, Kokusa almost glared at Gengoro. The meaning is very simple: I hope that you will express your support for Lancelot as the successor of the Three Sages, not that you speak as the successor of Lu You, treacherous fellow!

"Man's words are so bad, do you really think that people will believe it?"

In the face of Xiaocao's dissatisfaction, Gengoro's answer was very simple, "It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, as long as my great mentor Lu You doesn't come forward, no one can say that I am not Lu You's first apprentice." ”

During the speech, some people also questioned the identity of the first disciple of Lu You, but Gengoro used the power of heaven to continuously perform half of the thirty-six peerless schools in the White Deer Cave, shocking the audience, and after that, he left a sentence in great style: "I am the eldest disciple of my master, and my status is above all my junior disciples, except for my teacher, no one is qualified to deny my identity." ”

Many people think that this is a speculative speech that Lu You is in retreat and cannot come forward, but for this, Gengoro is absolutely sure, and the "Moon Sage" Lu You will not deny his announcement.

The current spokesperson representing the White Deer Cave must also know this, because through the shining cold metal mask, two stern eyes like ice crystals are approaching.

Smiling slightly, Gengoro made eye contact with the other party fearlessly.

In such a turbulent atmosphere, Queen Reinsleya's farewell ceremony officially began.
