Chapter 81: Kidnapping
Menes stood in the middle of the hall and cursed, and everyone trembled and did not dare to speak, and Ipuya and Nana wept bitterly.
"Damn wrinkled face, I'm going to kill him, is he an idiot? Even if you don't protect me personally, you still look down on me Menes, I want him to be buried with his whole family!"
No one dared to reply, so they could only silently bear Menes' wrath!
"Let that foolish little pharaoh take his life, and if my father and mother have a bad pool, I will bury them with their whole family, I swear, swear in front of the gods!" Menes roared hysterically.
The paper ball in his hand was thrown out angrily by Menes!
A letter that had come out of nowhere, found in the morning at the door of Menes' house, had the seal of Lord Andyère on it.
Mistress Andyère and his wife have been kidnapped!
Someone dared to kidnap Menes' parents?
And so boring that it just asks for a ransom?
10,000 Kinder is a huge number, but this is Menes, is it really this money now? Do you want money to tell me, do you have less money? Do you dare to threaten Menes that you have a life to spend when you get the money?
How did the White City protect Mistress Andyères?Is this Menes' parents, don't damn wrinkled faces understand the importance of these two?Or is it intentional?
Queen Lily has been wooing Menes, not hesitating to give the position of prime minister, Menes is not unmotivated at all, nor does she like the wrinkled face of the prime minister so much, after all, Cleopatra is much more beautiful, and Menes's orientation is also normal, but she has never been in alliance with Queen Lily, and has always recognized the legitimacy of the little pharaoh, why?
Isn't it your own father and mother in the hands of others?
Menes did not choose to stand in line for a long time, not because he did not have a position, but because his father and mother were in the hands of others, this matter must be carefully considered, as long as he did not make a clear choice, everyone must consider it clearly, and everyone understands the matter of waiting for the price to sell!
Every time there is a new invention and creation, Menes never hides why? Menes needs to let everyone know their strength, only when others know that they are strong, will they seriously consider how to treat a small lord in a remote mountainous area!
Odysseus came here, Menes constantly showed his strength, glass factories, steel smelting, coal mines, copper mines, sea ships, army construction, these are all demonstrations, to convey his power through the perspective of others, and as a result, someone actually kidnapped his father and mother? kidnapped his father and mother under the nose of His Majesty Pharaoh? and asked for ransom very funny?
Menes didn't think it was a group of crazy people who wanted to get rich, it was crazy to rob their parents in the palace of His Majesty Pharaoh, and it was not something that ordinary robbers could do.
"Your Excellency, I think that Lord Andyeb should be safe enough now, those guys are just asking for money, and they shouldn't hurt Lord Andyeb!" Jett reassured.
"Asking for money, Jet, are you comforting me or are you really stupid, what robber would dare to do such a thing? This is a conspiracy, Odysseus walked on the front foot and the back foot came with this kind of news, and the wrinkled face wanted to force me to make a statement!" Menes put away his anger slightly.
"The Holy City should not sit idly by, so I will contact the Holy City, and the High Priest will come forward to solve this matter!" Jett said.
"Holy City, forget it, they might be snickering happily and let me have a conflict with Bai City, isn't that what they think?"
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this for now, anyway, Bout Hamon, you will prepare 10,000 gold deben for me immediately, and when we are ready, we will wait for the notice of those guys, I want to see who ate the bear's heart leopard gall and dared to touch my family?"
Bute Hamon immediately nodded in agreement, although so much money Bute Hamon's heart was dripping blood, but Lord Menes' will could not be disobeyed, and Lord Menes had a much better way to make money than to spend money.
"Brother, Mom and Dad are going to be okay, right?" asked Ipuya with tears on her face.
"It's okay, don't worry, little sister, no one dares to touch the people of our family!"
Menes paused for a moment and continued, "Jet, you immediately release a message, tell the whole kingdom that my parents have been kidnapped by gangsters and ask for a sky-high ransom, and ask everyone to inform us in time if there is any news, as long as there is confirmed news, the bounty ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 gold coins, and at the same time, the news is that 10,000 gold coins are ready, please come and get it quickly, if Lord Andyère and my mother are injured in the slightest, the king of mummies will make him worse than dead!" Menes said.
"Yes, my lord, but you are offering a bounty and begging for mercy, will that be a problem?" said Jett.
"I'm going to let that wrinkled-faced prime minister know, and if you want to talk, you can talk to me, and if you don't want to talk about it, we'll see you on the battlefield!" Menis roared.
The kidnapping of Lord Andyère completely disrupted Menes' plans, and the matter of ocean trade and national education had to be postponed until the matter was resolved.
Menes must be sure that the Prime Minister is guarding his own theft, His Majesty's palace is heavily guarded, not to mention kidnapping, even if you want to go in and see, how can ordinary robbers rob Lord Andyèb in Pharaoh's palace?
This is obviously the conspiracy of the Prime Minister, because Menes is now too close to Queen Lily, and he also lent money to Queen Lily, which is obviously against the Prime Minister, so the Prime Minister needs to remind Menes that he still has a trump card, but this way is too bad.
Although Menes now supports Queen Lily, after all, there is no direct military support, and there is no clear alliance, so the Prime Minister is impatient to clean up Menes?
Isn't it right that he should come to woo Menes? Menes was originally waiting for the Prime Minister's envoy to wait for what kind of conditions the Prime Minister could offer? Isn't that what he can do when he waits for a price? After all, he is just a small lord, and isn't that how strong that family follows that family and makes an excellent wall-head grass?
The messenger did not wait, and received such a letter inexplicably.
Menes pondered for a moment and said, "Prepare gifts and personnel, and I'm going to go to White City myself!"
"Your Excellency, you can't go to the White City, you may not be able to come back, and the Prime Minister's wrinkled face will surely detain you!" Nacht said.
"No, I'm going to see, talk to the Prime Minister in person, it's time to negotiate!" Menes said.
"Forgive him for not daring to detain me, am I, the king of mummies, a vegetarian?"
"Gentlemen, can I count on you, your loyalty is my greatest dependence!" Menes asked suddenly.
"Faithful to your lordship, we are your most faithful servants!" shouted Nacht and Bata first!
The others immediately chimed in.
"Well, I'm relieved to have you, I don't need you to be my faithful servant, but you must know that following me Menes is the luckiest thing in your life, and I will not treat you badly!" said Menes.
"Nacht, you gather all your troops and march towards the fortress of Olysses, just say that you will support the fortress of Olisses according to the will of Commander Dzose, that fortress is the closest fortress to the White City, you must march with great fanfare, and let the whole kingdom know!"
"Yes, sir," Nacht replied.
"It's just, my lord, will Commander Djose agree, and I won't know that I went to Commander Djose with such fanfare?" said Nacht worriedly.
"Don't worry, my support for the Nine Gods Legion is not compulsory labor, his Nine Gods Legion does not participate in the struggle of the kingdom, it does not mean that there is no position, you can rest assured that I will send a letter to Zose, I think he will not object, just don't speak!" Menes said.
"Jet, if you go to the Holy City, you will say that I would prefer to give 10,000 gold coins to the Holy City, provided that my parents are unharmed!"
"Bouthamon, you go to Lily Harbor and tell Queen Lily that the delivery of weapons and steel will be delayed, and other materials can be ......delivered normally," Menis suddenly stopped and continued, "What happened here is repeated, you can tell her!"
"Bata, you stay and take charge of all things in the realm. ”
"I—I'm in charge of the territory?" said Bata was surprised.
"Yes, it's you, and I'll officially appoint you as acting governor. Menes said explicitly.
"And Nacht, tell Dill to go to White City with me, and you can tell Gua that I need him to go to White City with me, and Merita to go with me to bring the steam engine she just developed, do you all understand?" Menes ordered.
Everyone confirmed in unison that they understood the instructions!
Menes waved his hand to signal everyone to disband, and before he could put his hand down, someone entered the hall to report that an envoy from the White City had arrived.
Menes sneered and said, "Let him in!"
The messenger of the White City hurriedly walked into the hall, his face was full of anxiety, and he was also shocked when he entered the hall and saw the angry eyes of everyone, and hurriedly said, "Honorable Lord Menes, the lord of the Holy Cat City and the Ram State, the mummy......"
The messenger was still announcing Menes' head-up step by step, "Excuse me, say!" Menes interrupted directly.
"I'm very sorry to inform you that Lord Andyère and your mother have been kidnapped, and this is a letter from the Prime Minister!" said the messenger respectfully.
Menes didn't bother to read the letter and said, "Read!"
The messenger bowed his head and opened the letter and read it aloud.
The messenger stood still when he had finished reading the letter.
No one spoke, Menes sneered and said, "What an elegant, polite letter, the security in the White City is really too bad, it seems that I need to teach the Prime Minister how to manage the security of the city." ”
"My lord, Prime Minister Hemmer is also very annoyed by this matter, but please understand, we will do our best to rescue Lord Andyères, please calm your anger!" said the messenger.
"Good understanding and anger, there are kidnappers in His Majesty's palace, I am really worried about His Majesty Pharaoh, it seems that there should be a new prime minister!" Menes said angrily.
"Your Excellency, please calm your anger, Prime Minister, please understand, the entire White City is now in a state of emergency, and the kidnappers are being apprehended!" the messenger also tried to appease Menes.
"No need, you tell the Prime Minister, this kind of thing doesn't bother the Prime Minister, Menes has money, just a few kidnappers, just ask the Prime Minister's people to be ready to greet them, I will personally go to Baicheng to arrest the kidnappers!"
Menes ignored the messenger and turned to leave!
