Chapter 93: Hands-on
Time quickly passed another half a month. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As usual, Sun Chenghuan, who had eaten dinner, came to their small living room again.
"What's the matter today?"
Sun Chenghuan smiled and asked Jessica, who had arrived and was drinking tea there.
"It's quite lively. We'll talk about it when everyone arrives. Jessica nodded, "Are you ready to leave Minethil?"
"I, I can do it at any time!" Sun Chenghuan nodded with a smile and said, "Anyway, I don't have any specific matters at hand, what's the matter, His Excellency the Flower Shadow King is going to do it now? Aren't all Duke Green's people still making trouble a few days ago!"
"She's a little annoyed because of that. Jessica nodded, "At lunch today, she dropped her bowl in anger. ”
“...... That's ......."
"Well, tonight she said that she wanted me to go to her later, but just after dinner, she said that she should rest early today...... It feels like her whole mental state is already a little unstable, and Joey is by her side now, and she plans to cut through the mess quickly. Jessica sighed, "...... You'll know when Sovan comes. ”
“...... Well. Sun Chenghuan looked at Jessica's face with a serious expression, and couldn't smile anymore.
He was in a good mood today.
After persisting in the magic experiment for half a month, I finally achieved something this afternoon......
In the past half a month, a lot of things have been going according to their plan.
The Flower Shadow King, who became the king, began to take back control of her father's territory little by little.
Because this matter is supported by the Council of Elders of Astrana, it is justified, so, just like every nobleman who arrives in a new territory to collect his own fiefdom, he does something that should have been done.
The nobles who had participated in the succession ceremony that day did not immediately return to their fiefdoms, but stayed in Minahir, waiting to report to the Flower Shadow King about the situation in their territories.
After that, the nobles who completed the report returned to their own territories and sent the list to the commoners in the territory, telling them who they belong to now, and who they will pay in the future in addition to the nobles directly under them.
And those territories that were not sealed in the first place, belonging to Nioh, were reported by relevant officials.
After that, it was supposed to be a territorial patrol.
It's just that, as a prince, her territory is indeed too big, so naturally it is impossible to ride out a circle like an ordinary viscount or baron or even an earl, and it can be completed in one morning......
However, the Shadow King still told his nobles who were in Minethil that he wanted to go out and see his territory.
Just as Sun Chenghuan expected, many nobles stood up and expressed their obstruction.
The reasons for the obstruction are also varied, from the fact that it is not suitable to leave Beijing when he has just succeeded to the throne, to the fact that the weather is too tiring to travel in the hot weather, and some people even say that the late summer and early autumn are the times when the peasants are hard, and it is not appropriate to disturb the people......
Something like that.
And these people who prevented the Flower Shadow King from leaving Minahir were all the people of the Duke of Green.
It's also easy to understand.
Until he had discussed the status and arrangement of the two of them with Duke Fotagen, the Shadow King could not leave Minehir.
Otherwise, God knows how long it will take her to leave this time!
In case she walks away for a year, even if Duke Green and Duke Vortagan have negotiated, they will definitely be able to fight if they stay together for so long.
One mountain can't tolerate two tigers!
It's just that the so-called departure of the Flower Shadow King from Minethil to inspect the territory is just a ploy after discussing with Sowan and Jessica.
It is only natural for nobles to inspect their own territory.
Not to mention that the Flower Shadow King, the prince who was picked up, is her father and grandparents, and she has to go to inspect all her territory every few years.
This is a tradition.
It's hard to say that it's hard to stop such a tradition, so they have only one purpose in doing this, to stop Duke Green, who is the Flower Shadow King, and they must reach an agreement with Duke Fotagen here as soon as possible.
The key point of bargaining is time. If there is not enough time, then it will have to give in.
This is to force Duke Green to force Duke Fotagen to take a stand, and even to hand over some of his own hole cards.
What kind of state does the Duke of Vortagan look like...... He's in the same league as these guys!
As a result, Duke Green began to mobilize all kinds of people in his network to cause trouble for Duke Vortagen and the Flower Shadow King, on the one hand, so that the two of them could not unite to clean up themselves, and on the other hand, he really did not understand why Duke Vortagen insisted on returning to Minethir.
Now, even the maids who cleaned the Shadow King knew that Duke Vortagen's return from Stormwind to Minethil "became a joke among the nobles......
Is it a real joke? Of course not, it's just that Duke Green is spreading it around.
......
"Busy today?"
It was a long time before Suowan came to the small living room. Sun Chenghuan naturally smiled and greeted him.
"It's not a busy day!" Sovan sighed and shook his head, "Now the Duke of Fortagen doesn't dare to arrange some competent men for me, basically I can only rely on myself. It's all bits and pieces, not difficult, but time-consuming. ”
"Well, it's good to wait a while. ”
Sun Chenghuan could only comfort like this.
"I used to envy you for being the lord of Stormwind, but now...... But I really don't envy it at all. Suowan smiled and shook his head, "I just heard from Joey before I came over that today she and Raven were approached by His Excellency the Flower Shadow King and asked if they wanted to stay in Minecil to do things, or did they want to follow you to Stormwind?"
Sovan quickly got back to business.
"Well, I'm going. It was not Sun Chenghuan who answered Suowan, but Jessica. "Today, the Flower Shadow King has officially signed an order, appointing Marquis Sun Chenghuan as the acting Lord of Stormwind City. ”
"Oh? The Flower Shadow King can't help it?" Sowan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and smiled, "This is too impatient, isn't it? It's only been half a month!
"It's not that the Flower Shadow King can't help it, it's that Reginald can't drag it on. Jessica smiled and shook her head, "Although she doesn't want to put up with it, she doesn't have to do it before it's ready." On Reginald's side, his commander was asking when he would return to the front in the northeast, saying that the morale of the army was already unstable. ”
"Hmm...... This time bomb still exploded after all. Sun Chenghuan nodded, "I thought this army was unreliable......
"It's already good. How many battles have you fought with Reginad in two months!" Sovan shook his head disappreciatively, "These battles are not what they should have fought. Now I finally can't help it, is it because I feel that the mountain rain is coming?"
"It should be, everyone who has been in and out of the palace has been going to discuss with the Flower Shadow King about the next deal with Stormwind City. Today, someone went to sue Duke Vortagen, saying that he left the side of Stormwind and ran back to Minethil, which was extremely irresponsible. Jessica smiled and said, "That person should be a neutral nobleman, but now he just can't stand it anymore, so much so that he forgets that Duke Vortagen's return to Mineshir was approved by the Flower Shadow King......"
"In fact, there are still a lot of neutral people, and Duke Green's power is still smaller than we imagined. Suowan also nodded beside him, "When Duke Green was pressing on us step by step before, I thought he was overbearing, but in the end, it was still a lot worse than I imagined." It doesn't even feel as good as those Dukes of Merce at Mills. ”
"I don't think it's too optimistic. Sun Chenghuan shook his head, "After all, Duke Green has been working as a senior minister here in Minecil for half his life, and he must still have some connections, otherwise, why did so many people suggest that His Excellency the Flower Shadow King let him go to guard Stormwind City?"
"That's what I don't quite understand. Suowan sighed, "If those nobles just look at the face of the Flower Shadow King, there is absolutely no reason to let Green go to Stormwind City in the first place......"
"Maybe it's because he thinks that the Shadow King will summon Duke Vortagen back to Minecil as soon as he comes here, and he must be dissatisfied with Duke Green!" Jessica said with a smile. Then he climbed the pole. ”
"But the problem is that they now find themselves wrong. It is possible that after coming into contact with the Duke of Vortagen, he learned that he had returned to Minethil of his own free will. Sun Chenghuan also smiled, "Then they thought about it a little more, although the Flower Shadow King is still a young girl, but it is still more reliable than Duke Green, and more importantly, now the Flower Shadow King seems to trust Duke Vortagen very much...... So I decided to ride the wall one by one. ”
"Hmm...... So let's talk about the next thing now. Jessica nodded, "Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, Sun Chenghuan's appointment letter here will come down." It will be the Duke of Fortagan himself who will read it out to show his support for you. ”
"Haven't we been in contact with him all this time, and now this is an exposé of our partnership?"
"No, Duke Vortagan should be drinking with Duke Green right now......" Jessica laughed, "whining. ”
“...... If it gets out, won't it show that he doesn't support me?" Sun Chenghuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Although a period of time has passed, he has not forgotten the matter of that Chenghuan Sect. If he really went to Stormwind City, then without the support of the team left behind by Duke Fotagen, he would really be in trouble.
"He'll give you a secret letter written by his own hand tomorrow, and when you get to Stormwind and show it to the Earl of his cronies who stayed there, he'll naturally cooperate with you. Besides, it's been a year since Minethiel's conversation at the wine table reached Stormwind," Jessica still smiled, "The next question is that you're going to pretend to be attacked on your way to Stormwind............"
"Attacked?" Sun Chenghuan frowned slightly, "Whose idea was this?"
"Your Excellency the Flower Shadow King. ”
“...... Didn't you give her the idea?"
"Trust me, I wouldn't have come up with such an inexplicable idea. Jessica spread her hands, "This should have been Reginald's idea for her." Tomorrow your appointment is down, and the day after tomorrow Reginad will return to the north-east border with his army, and he will escort you for a day, after which you will part ways, and he will go north and you will go east, and in the evening you will be 'attacked'. ”
"Is it real or fake?"
"Reginald will send someone, supposedly a master, but will not kill you. The smile on Jessica's face was a little odd. "But I think Reginald is thinking too much. I don't think anyone can kill you. ”
"Master?" Suo Wan, who was next to him, was stunned for a moment, and also smiled, "It must be that I heard about the way you made meritorious service and felt disdainful, so I want to test the people who test you, right?"
"There will definitely be such people. Sun Chenghuan nodded, not paying too much attention to it.
If it had been a few days ago, such an "assassination" would have made him feel a little bit of pressure in his heart, now......
Unless it is the kind of assassin who specializes in assassination, Sun Chenghuan is sure to deal with it.
What's more, it's just acting......
"Then after this assassination, you will first temporarily return to Minecil to be investigated and protected, and after that, these investigation clues will point to Duke Green......"
"It's really not a brilliant idea. Hearing this, Sun Chenghuan sighed and shook his head. "Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is suspected of being framed. ”
"But His Excellency the Flower Shadow King adopted it. Jessica shook her head helplessly, "I don't know if she has faith in you or in Reginald." ”
“...... What happens after that?"
"After that, that's my job with Sovan, with the cooperation of Duke Vortagen, to eliminate Duke Green's forces, the first evil will be dealt with, and the threat will never be asked......," Jessica still looked helpless, "First clear out some of Duke Green's forces." ”
"Hmm. Sun Chenghuan nodded.
Eyes flashed.
I raised an alarm for no reason.
How will things go so well?
I don't believe it......
