239. Like the rising sun1
Philip, the "great savior" in the eyes of the African people, was finally leaving the city, and after leaving a royalist official to temporarily rule the city, Philip took Grace, Delia and the Guards to Wellington, and when the mighty procession was ready to leave the city, it also attracted a lot of onlookers.
"Marlen, people will miss you......"
Philip, who was standing at the gate of the city, was with Abigail, glanced at the short-haired officer who had struggled out of the girl's arms, and a vague smile flashed on his face.
"Yes, these civilians have been rescued to other people's beds. β
Marlen blushed, "My lord, this ...... I ......"
Philip waved his hand to stop Mullen from continuing: "I'm not a defender, men will inevitably have needs outside, as long as you don't delay your duties, I won't care so much." β
Think about it, the army is outside, it is a group of men, and the anger must be vented, otherwise the daily fights and brawls will give Philip a headache and he can't handle the rest of the official business.
Looking at the girl, although the clothes were a little old, the gold necklace around her neck was new, and she and Maren could be regarded as taking what they needed.
"It seems that your subordinates have a good relationship with the local women...... You can try it next time", said the Duchess of Blood, almost gritting her teeth beside Philip.
Philip smiled, he couldn't argue with Grace about this kind of thing, he ignored Grace directly, and asked Mullen, "What about that person?"
Mullen scolded, and immediately a soldier came up with a cart containing a cage. As soon as the people on both sides of the road saw the ugly long face in the prisoner car, what rotten vegetable leaves, and rotten eggs all went up, and the people under his rule hated him no matter how high or low they were, no matter how high or low they were, and it was not easy for Ivey.
Since Ivy is hated, it can be regarded as a value, and Philip's great image of helping the poor has been strengthened again, and the human heart is something that needs to be constantly strengthened.
The result was very satisfying to Philip, and Lord Lobit said to Abigail: "The defense of the province will be handed over to you." Then he turned over and got on his horse. With a big wave of his hand. Said: "Let's go!"
The guards lined up at the gates of Africa began to move slowly, and unlike the anxious ones who came, Philip was in a good mood now.
In the distance is a golden wheat field with plump and thick fruit on the stalks. Right now. It's harvest time......
ββββββ
"It's fine. After the fall of the territories in the border hills, the Republicans in Galia can only influence Africa and Akureyri, or else. I'm going to have a busy time this time. β
Riding his horse and walking in the shady forest, Philip smiled and said to the blood duchess beside him, Grace, who was promoted to the grand duke, looked like an ordinary person, and he didn't react at all to the sun.
The original extravagant hope was not a problem at all after becoming the Grand Duke, and Grace rode with Philip like a young girl.
"However, this time we have also made a great contribution to the Empire," Grace said with a smile, "After this incident, you have completely secured your position as the heir of the Ross family, and no one in your age has such merits, even in the royalist party, those treacherous and cunning politicians will know that the next leader of the Ludao party is a capable person." β
The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves, and he seemed to see a golden road ahead of him.
"Do you think he's handsome?"
Grace trailed Philip and said to Delia, who was a little nymphomaniac.
The elven princess immediately blushed and nodded shyly.
"Since you think it's good, you have to catch him, and if you don't catch him, you'll be taken advantage of by other women. β
Grace pointed in the direction of Wellington, where there was also a princess, and besides, the fiancΓ©e who was still engaged, was simply a direct competitor to Delia.
Of course, the elf princess knew what Douglas was talking about, and looked at her breasts like a small meat bun with some embarrassment, and her face became depressed: "I haven't grown up yet......"
"Did the method I taught you work? β
"I eat papaya milk every day, but it feels so strange when I rub it, I don't dare to touch it......"
Two women whispered behind Philip, who walked at the front of the line, like the leader of a pack of wolves, the strongest man standing on the strongest side.
As he advanced, the bright light was finally blocked by a dense leaf, which did not shine into Philip's eyes, and after a brief moment of discomfort, he saw what seemed to be a familiar flag in the woods, Lord Lobit raised an arm, and the neat and well-guarded guards stopped like robots being manipulated.
Thinking of his father's henchmen he saw yesterday in the city during a break, he didn't expect that the two sworn enemies of the royalists and the Republicans would sit down to negotiate.
"Mullen!"
The short-haired officer suddenly understood, yelled, "Rest in place!" and then with a few henchmen, he pushed the prisoner cart carrying Ivey and followed Philip forward, disappearing into the woods.
The camel with the gold coin is the flag of the Cooper Chamber of Commerce, and Miranda, who is wearing a suit and skirt, is standing under this flag with a black suitcase, watching Philip appear in amazement.
"You're here?"
"I'm coming. β
"You shouldn't have come. β
"I have to come, uh, am I messing with the ancient dragon?"
"Who's the ancient dragon?"
"Forget it, it's nothing, let's talk about this deal. Philip waved his hand and motioned for Miranda to go to the prison van for inspection.
The short-haired woman glanced at Philip with a complicated expression, and she was now a little confused about how she felt about her former employer.
Honor, worship, or ......
Miranda quickly threw that year out of her mind, and the last time she saw Philip, she deliberately found a few women to enjoy the lily together, making sure that she still had feelings for women.
Take a deep breath and turn your mind to business. Miranda walked to the prisoner car, saw the long demented face, nodded, walked back to Philip, took out a stack of paper from the suitcase she was carrying, and handed it to Philip, "According to the bipartisan agreement, Prime Minister Anthony has signed his own and several Republican Party bigwigs on your party's ten proposals. β
Philip took the paper and checked it on his own, Anthony's handwriting was still familiar to him. And there is also a private stamp. If someone counterfeits the seal of a high-ranking official, it is a felony to kill the head.
Philip nodded, motioned for Mullen to push the cart to Miranda's men, and turned to leave.
"Wait. Miranda's voice was faint. But Philip heard it anyway.
Delia, who walked in with Philip, was still a little confused. Just wanted to say something to Miranda. was carried out by Philip.
"Wait, that Ivy is also the creator of this riot, and he can prove that the Kingdom of Vasco and the Hellas Bloodline were involved. Just throw it to the royalists, we use him ......"
"What are you doing with him?" Walking out of the woods, Philip put down Delia's arm, looked at Delia and said with a smile: "This guy is just a wasted person, not to mention that he is mentally abnormal, he can't say anything useful, even if he says that the Cooper family and the Heras family collude, what is the use, only he is a witness can't prove anything at all, the Republican Party completely says that we are slander, it is better to use him in exchange for some benefits." β
"Benefits? You mean handing him over to the Republicans? All the civilians killed by the thugs died in vain?" asked Delia with a clenched fist, the elf princess's sense of justice was still quite strong.
"Of course not. Philip said lightly: "An old politician like Anthony will definitely take some measures in order to absolutely ensure his own safety." After all, if Ivey recovers his senses one day and hides some secret evidence, it will be absolutely devastating to the Republican Party when the time comes, and ten proposals for Ivey will be very cost-effective. β
"Ahh
The door of the prison cart was open, and Ivy was lying not far from the prison door with an arrow stuck in his back, judging from the position of the arrow, it should have been shot from the back, and it should have passed through the heart, and the former Governor of Galia was too dead to die.
"Mullen, record, the prisoner Ivy attempted to escape, but was discovered by my valiant Guards soldiers, and the only way to dissuade him was to shoot him with arrows. β
After saying the military order, Philip turned to Delia: "This is our deal with the Republican Party, use Ivey's life to buy them to support our ten proposals, after these ten proposals are passed, more than half of the citizens of the empire will benefit, and as long as we cooperate with the royalist propaganda machine, we will be able to occupy at least thirty percent more seats than we do now in the next parliamentary election." β
The royalists have benefited, that is, Philip has benefited, the extra parliamentarians in the next re-election will thank themselves, and the party bigwigs will attach importance to themselves, all of which are the basis for Philip to hold greater power.
Philip kicked Ivey's corpse over with a light kick, and said a little indifferently: "You can be regarded as the last cent of value that I have squeezed out, and I will bury you well!"
ββββββ
By the time Philip traveled to Wellington, the new commissioners arrived in Gallia and Lobit, and the official referendum on the merger of the two regions began, with both royalists and republicans, both hoping that the storm of the riots would soon pass, and with the cooperation of both sides, the referendum was held with an efficiency rarely seen in the history of the Bugas Empire.
In front of the polling station, people lined up, tugging at the ballot papers in their hands, and their faces turned red with excitement.
"Aunt Dalena, which one do you choose?"
"Do you need to say it? Of course, it is a merger, and only under the rule of Master Philip will we not be afraid of the mob breaking into our house every day, as we have been in the previous months. β
"Yes, I chose to merge, Aunt Dalena, you don't know what to do, my family was almost killed by the mob, and if it weren't for Lord Philip's army, he would have died a long time ago. β
β...... Philip has something to do, I think it's just a little white face. There was always a discordant voice, and a young nobleman with pockmarked faces stood in the voting procession, and said with disdain on his face, remembering that the two beautiful beauties had been picked by Philip's piece of cow dung, his heart was unbalanced, and he did not notice the eyes around him that wanted to kill him.
'He's a member of the mob!'
I don't know which aunt screamed, and then more people shouted.
"Yes, he's a thug too!"
"He robbed our urinal of the house!"
The young nobleman panicked, and shouted fiercely: "your fart, I'm going to rob you of your things......
It's a pity that before the words were finished, they were overwhelmed by the angry aunts.
"Help......"
"Don't slap ...... face"
"Don't take your pants off ......"
ββββββ
More than 80 percent of the people in the province of Gallia voted in favor, and Afliga and Akureyri, two cities that make up the majority of the province's population, were directly helped by Philip.
In the hearts of these people, Philip is the one who can bring them hope and help, and they also want to live a stable and prosperous life like the Lobits.
Philip had just handed over his errand at the palace and received a 96 percent vote in favor of the referendum, and Lord Lobit was undoubtedly promoted from Governor of Gallia to Governor of Gallia, and this time, the Republicans did not even fart, and approved Philip's promotion, which was one of the conditions for handing over Ivey to their disposal.
The Blood Rose Manor, brightly lit, and the happy Nicholas even played a saxophone himself, as a nobleman, music is a must.
"Uncle is very happy today. Caroline smiled and danced with Philip on the dance floor, accompanied by Nicholas's music, and the two in the center of the dance floor were like a pair of golden boys and girls.
Philip's footsteps passively followed Caroline's movements, and his shoulders were also very stiff, and every time he came into close contact with Caroline, he felt a sense of guilt like cheating.
The freshly baked Governor of Gallia tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Finally able to completely suppress Anthony, do you see that the old man has drunk no less than two catties of whiskey today, and your father, when he was in the palace, his hands trembled the moment he heard the referendum result." β
With a spin, Philip loosened Caroline, and then pulled it back, bare back, skin delicate and smoother than the best porcelain, this feel.
Phew...... What was I thinking, Big Brother woman, Big Brother woman......
However, against the backdrop of the confusing lights, Caroline's long blond hair and soft face are really, really, beautiful...... (To be continued......)
