In the midday sun, in the chamber of the palace, a war that belonged only to two women without gunpowder smoke was unfolding silently, and at this moment, when Queen Gianna and Prime Minister Hilton looked at each other, even the air was stirred with scorching sparks.

There is no doubt that when two women are at war, then as a man, the best way is to stay away from here, so if you can, at this moment, Lin Taiping wants to say that he is just passing by to make soy sauce.

But the problem was that he couldn't do this, so he could only take a few steps forward helplessly, meet the seemingly gentle but threatening gaze of Queen Gianna, and replied solemnly: "Dear Empress Xià, it's an honor to meet you, and thank you for the compliment just now, that's just what I should do." ”

"Don't be humble, you've done a great job, even far beyond our expectations. Empress Gianna smiled very gently, and slowly turned her head to look at Tyrant III beside her, "Your Majesty, how do you think you should reward this kind of person who has made great contributions to the empire?"

"Hmm......" Trent III obviously fell into a drowsiness again, and he couldn't react for a while when he heard this, but there was no need for him to answer, Empress Gianna turned her head again and looked at Lin Taiping with appreciation: "So, dear Mr. Lin, are you interested in becoming an earl, owning a medium-sized city as a territory, and serving as the court's chief of guard?"

Even though he had expected it, but hearing this, Lin Taiping couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, feeling that he was about to be stunned by this kind of big pie, to be honest, the above three lucrative conditions, just take one out alone, it is enough to make a normal person's heart pound, not to mention that now it is three pies thrown together.

"Okay. Is this a bribe?" Taking a deep breath, Lin Taiping touched his chin thoughtfully, and turned his head to look at Hilton beside him, who was looking at him with a complicated gaze, as if he was expecting what decision he would make.

Almost at the same time, Empress Gianna, who was on the throne, smiled again: "Wait, I suddenly feel that maybe this kind of reward is not in line with your merits...... Well, dear Mr. Lin, are you interested in taking over a mine? If it is run well, I think there should be no problem with nearly a million gold coins a year. ”

"Meow, where is this mine, this is clearly a mountain of gold!" Lin Taiping couldn't help but look at the sky speechlessly, and suddenly felt that his heart was already beating and beating, but the Prime Minister of Hilton next to him couldn't help but change color slightly and gritted his teeth, damn, is this woman crazy. is even willing to take out such a condition that is enough to make the big nobles blush?

"It's nothing, I just appreciate Mr. Lin. Just as knowing what Prime Minister Hilton was thinking, Queen Gianna smiled even more happily, and even her bright eyes were full of sparkles. looked at Lin Taiping with a bit of seduction, "So, dear Mr. Lin, have you decided to ......?"

"I'm sorry. I can't take it. However, at this moment, Lin Taiping suddenly took a deep breath and shook his head with pain on his face.

In a flash. Hilton, who originally had a solemn expression, suddenly showed an expression of surprise in disbelief, and even looked at Lin Taiping's gaze, which was a little more complicated, and in stark contrast to her joy, Queen Gianna couldn't help but change color slightly, and even stood up uncontrollably: "Dear Mr. Lin, you mean, you plan to refuse my kindness?"

Well, Lin Taiping touched his chin very painfully, and looked up at the sky thoughtfully, to be honest, if he could, no one would be willing to refuse such a condition, but the problem is that the relationship between himself and the Blood Pattern Priest is extremely bad, even if he is temporarily reconciled under the pressure of the queen now, but no one wants a group of guys to stab you in the back from time to time.

"Very good, very good. Empress Gianna's face was pale, and her slightly distorted face was full of anger, but strangely, just a few seconds later, she suddenly regained her composure and still sat back on the throne gracefully, "It's a pity, so well, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and talk about another thing related to you......"

"Uh, another thing related to me?" Lin Taiping was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but look at Hilton, and suddenly had a very bad feeling.

"Yes, another thing that has to do with you. Empress Gianna smiled again, and seemed to have a hint of schadenfreude, "Dear Mr. Lin, I heard from the soldiers of the Imperial Capital Garrison that when you arrived in the Imperial Capital, you seemed to have beaten a poor nobleman for no reason?"

"Is there one?" Lin Taiping blinked innocently and said seriously, "I'm sorry, I want to correct it, first of all, I didn't hit people for no reason, I just rode a rabbit at a speed of seventy yards, and then I accidentally scratched the incident, and secondly, if the baron's watch is also called pitiful, then I think the dictionary should re-specify the word pitiful......"

"Nonsense! This is nonsense!" Before Lin Taiping could finish speaking, a sharp and angry voice suddenly sounded from behind, and then a group of people strode into the conference hall, and the young nobleman who took the lead was covered in bandages, and pointed at Lin Taiping with anger on his face, as if he wanted to rush up, "It's you, it's you, damn yellow-skinned monkey, you actually attacked innocent me in public!"

"Huh, Your Excellency looks familiar?" Lin Taiping looked at him with a smile, there was no doubt that this unlucky guy with bandages was the Baron West who drove the carriage forward at a speed of seventy yards not long ago, and was then hit by Chitu and flew away.

"Damn bastard, dare you pretend you don't know me?" Seeing Lin Taiping's hateful smile, Baron West became even more angry, and couldn't help but want to order the guards to rush forward, but before he could give the order, a middle-aged nobleman next to him suddenly coughed lightly and glared at him with a majestic face, "Enough, West, pay attention to your image!"

Well, Baron West, who was still angry, after being scolded by this middle-aged nobleman, suddenly lowered his head as if he had encountered a natural enemy, and said with a depressed face: "Dad, are you mistaken, obviously this guy bullied me, and you actually help him talk?"

"Daddy?" Lin Taiping was slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head to look, in his sight, the middle-aged nobleman with a stern face, extremely burly, with a look of no anger and self-authority, even if he just stood there very calmly, it made people seem to see an indestructible cliff, and his old-fashioned square face revealed the majesty of the superior.

"Duke of Turan?" Almost at the same time, the Prime Minister of Hilton next to him suddenly said in surprise, "Wait, I don't seem to have figured out the situation yet, Lord Duke, could it be that your only son, Baron West, has had any dispute with my friend Mr. Lin?"

"Wait, this gentleman is the Duke of Turan, the true head of the noble alliance?" Lin Taiping was really taken aback this time, on the way to the palace, he also heard Hilton mention the name of this duke, and unceremoniously called him an old fox, and he was also an old fox who seemed to be strong and resolute.

"It's him!" Prime Minister Hilton seemed to know what Lin Taiping was thinking, turned his head and looked at him deeply, but he couldn't help but feel his heart sink, what a damn thing, why did such a coincidental thing happen, no wonder, no wonder Gianna would suddenly summon Lin, no wonder her solicitation was rejected and she seemed very calm, it turned out that the real hole card was......

Well, this is really not good news, you must know that in the current situation, both the rebels and the royalists are trying their best to win over the noble alliance, but at this critical moment, Lin Taiping, who is already regarded as an important member of the rebels, has offended the head of the noble alliance, Duke Turan, which means ......

"Tut-tut, that's a pity. In the strange atmosphere, Queen Gianna on the throne suddenly shook her head slightly, and sighed with a somewhat gloating tone, "Seriously, Mr. Lin, considering your contribution to our empire, I really don't want to hold you responsible, but as a law enforcer, I must ensure the principle of fairness and justice." ”

Damn slut! Prime Minister Hilton couldn't help frowning slightly, but at this time, the old-fashioned Duke of Turan coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Lin Taiping with a solemn face, and said calmly: "Dear Mr. Lin, first of all, I want to apologize to you, because of my lack of education, West has caused a lot of damage to you and the civilians, and this is my responsibility." ”

Well, this is really unexpected, Lin Taiping couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and said in his heart that this Duke of Turan is different from most nobles, and it is no wonder that his family can stand, but it is obvious that the purpose of this duke's trip is not just to apologize, so next, there must be another sentence - "However, ......"

"However, even if there is anything wrong with my son, he should be punished by the law, not by your private revenge. "Well, the next moment, the Duke of Turan suddenly stepped forward, and without even making a move, there was a frenzy of momentum on his body, so that most of the candles lit in the council chamber were extinguished.

Under the oppression of this momentum, although Lin Taiping remained calm, his heart was already full of vigilance, and Prime Minister Hilton immediately took a few steps forward, blocked in front of Lin Taiping, and said with a solemn expression: "Lord Duke, please calm your anger, I think there should be a better solution to this matter." ”

"Of course, I also think there will be a better solution. Duke Turan replied expressionlessly, coldly met Hilton's gaze, and at this moment, in the midst of everyone's complicated gaze, he suddenly took off the white gloves on his hand and threw them directly at Lin Taiping's feet-

"The responsibility of the children should be borne by the father! The humiliation of the children should also be washed away by the father! Dear Mr. Lin, at this very moment, in front of His Majesty the Emperor and His Majesty the Empress, I propose to you, in the name of the Duke, the ...... Duel!" (To be continued......)
