After the Legend Chapter 125: Guilty

The "grain merchant" came to Normonka for the grain transportation plan that failed to reach a final agreement last time. He said to Jada who came to negotiate: "According to what we said last time, we originally planned to go through Weisha. We transported food to Nuojia, but now Weisha refuses to send troops to **** them, and there is no large mercenary group willing to accept employment, so we had to recruit people from Shaonan, but Weisha said that there were too many of us, and we were carrying weapons. I’m afraid we’ll be plotting bad things, so what if we don’t allow entry? We can’t just send a few people with sticks to **** grain trucks across the country, right?”

Mint's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't say anything

Jada frowned. Now the relationship between Nuojia and Weisha is indeed a bit tense, but it is not so advanced that food is prohibited from crossing the border, right? He said: "Normonka also has other grain merchants who buy from foreign countries. They didn't talk about this kind of thing. Why are you so troublesome?"

The merchant said, "Your Excellency Duke, how do you compare us to those grain merchants? They can only transport ten or so carts, but we have 10,000 kilograms of grain and more than one hundred carts! That's so much grain. , is our output for half a year. If we encounter robbers or something in the middle, who will compensate for our losses? Originally so much food, if we transport it to other places and sell it slowly, it will be sold out in a few months at most. The great effort was sent to Normonka entirely because we want to do business with your royal family, we are so sincere, can't your Excellency make some effort?"

Jeda bowed his head and meditated. He knew very well that the amount of food was large and the price was not high. As long as it was shipped to Nomonka, there would be no need for domestic food shortages this year, and when facing Mario's army, He can also take the initiative. After all, the latter is also facing the pressure of military rations and pondering for a moment, he said: "If we can't go to Weisha, how about taking another route?"

"It's too far to detour to East, you might as well buy it directly from them, but I don't know if they will sell it. As for Vatican, now they are making a noise to close the border, I don't know if they will let us pass through" Merchant After looking at Jada, he rolled his eyes and said, "Would you like to tell me? I heard that Fan A wants to close the border because the Nuojia and Weisha people are too quarrelsome in Mengli. Now, can you ask the king to order, let those people stop making trouble?"

Mint snickers, thinking that's what the Security Agency is for, right?

Jedda also knows who did what happened in Murray, and considering that Prince Mario also needs food, maybe... he can persuade the latter to temporarily stop the action in Murray and let the food truck go first. Come over and talk?

Thinking about it, he said: "I will handle this matter, you wait first." After that, he turned and left. The businessman smiled and watched him go out, then took Minte to say some homely gossip, and waited for everyone around him to talk. After dispersing, he lowered his voice and said, "There have been unusual troop movements in Nuojia, especially in the border areas. Are they ready to start?"

Minte shook his head and briefly introduced the turmoil a few days ago in a low voice: "Whether Nuojia will raise troops is still unknown, although the situation has calmed down for the time being, but I have an intuition that it won't take long. There will be a bigger turmoil, and this time the winner will be decided. If King Noga wins, the possibility of a war is very low. If it is Prince Mario...then it will definitely rise!"

The businessman squinted his eyes and slowly nodded his head: "Since this is the case, you must always pay attention to the situation, collect as much information as possible, and return to the country immediately to report if there is a sign of war! Mallory has arrived at Xike to sit as the king. He also ordered the army to be vigilant. The border areas have already deployed troops, and once a war starts, he will suffer a big loss!"

Mint nodded solemnly. The businessman paused, glanced around, and shoved something into his hand. When Mint touched it, he found it was a key and a small note

"Here is the key to a hut near the city gate. There are dry food, water, medicine and clothes for horses, as well as a full set of identification and customs clearance certificates, all of which are reliable and genuine. There is a mute who goes there every evening. Back to look after the horses, he doesn't know our identity"

Minte quietly put the things into the storage ring and was about to say something when she heard the other party suddenly laugh and say loudly: "Last time you asked me to bring back those linen gauze, your mother likes to say that summer is the best way to make clothes. It's getting cold, and I'm going to buy a few more horses, but those are high-end goods exclusively for the palace. Where can I buy them? I had to find some high-quality muslin instead."

Mintel smiled knowingly: "You told me earlier, I'll find a way to get two horses, there should be a lot of room left in the palace steward"

"What are you talking about? You seem to be very happy" Jada walked into the room and asked lightly

"The Grain Merchant" laughed: "Just casually chatting about the fact that you don't laugh... Okay?"

Jada hesitated: "I haven't found anyone yet, can you wait a few more days?"

The other party agreed immediately: "Well, is there any other business near me? I just found out that Nuojia's cloth is also very good"

Jeda didn't have time to listen to him talk about his business, so he had a quick chat and called Minte: "Come back with me, I have something to tell you"

"The Grain Merchant" hurriedly said: "Then you all go, I'll take a step first" while saying that, he glanced at Minte, who smiled and folded, but left

Mint followed Jada back to the palace, but unexpectedly saw him running out of the city on horseback, seemed to want to go back to the castle, frowned, added a whip, and urged the mount to speed up to keep up

Jada ran faster and faster, and Minte finally caught up. The two horses ran around the road on the side of the mountain for more than half an hour, and the former slowed down and slowly climbed the hill

The weather is getting hotter and hotter recently, and when the wind blows, it's much cooler than in the city.

A large area of ​​rolling hills of varying heights is dotted with many black and black spots. When I got closer, I found that it was a dwarf tree with dark brown leaves that were large and long. When you open it, you can find a bunch of fruits under the leaves, each with a fist, big shoes, and the golden surface looks particularly dazzling in the sun. This is Nuojia's face fruit. After two months, the husk will turn into a brown berry. , you can pick it up

Smelling the unique fragrance of the fruit trees, Minte looked out at the outskirts of Nomonka, and saw the green hills interspersed with the brown land cut into different shapes by the rocks, the huts with grey white stone walls and black roofs Scattered by the fields at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by brightly colored wildflowers, many women and children were working in the fields, the old man drove the car, and brought all kinds of daily necessities from the city.

This is probably the scene in the paintings that originally hung on the promenade of the king's palace? Minte took a deep breath and turned his eyes to the field again. If he read it correctly, it should be the round rice rice in Shaonan, but at this season, the round rice rice should be ripe, but the rice plants here are not. It's still half-green and half-yellow, and it's a bit sullen. Maybe it's because it's not suitable for the northern climate? But when did Nuojia start planting round rice?

Seeing him staring at the rice seedlings, Jada said casually, "That's a trial planting. Your Majesty can find a second crop that is suitable for our land. Otherwise, we will starve to death sooner or later if we only rely on noodles."

Mint noticed that he was in a low mood and asked, "What's the matter with you? Did you get mad at Prince Mario just now?"

Jada shook his head: "I didn't see him, just now, I..." After a pause, he stopped his horse, rolled over and took a few steps forward, looking back at Minte with a very sad expression: "I met him. The funeral procession at the old doctor's house..."

Minte also dismounted, walked up to him, and listened to him talking about the past: "...the old physician's family has been a court physician for generations, and he was already a physician's assistant when my father was born. My father has several brothers. From childhood to adulthood, he always loves to look for him when he is sick, because he does not talk, and often brings some interesting toys into the palace. When I was born, he was the postpartum nurse for my mother, and then my mother died of illness. , he is also the attending physician... Almost all the children born in the palace have been treated by him. He clearly... was such a kind and amiable old man, he didn't even have time to call, he just died like this, Prince Mario and Don't the Lawlers feel sad? He also treated them and gave them toys."

Mint felt sad when he saw the glint in the corner of his eyes, and silently handed a handkerchief, Jada took it and wiped it and continued: "Also, those dead servants and guards... I recognize one of them as Lao Nanny Le's youngest son, and a female official who served Prince Mario in the palace for more than ten years... In order to achieve their goals, they used this sinister and vicious method to forcibly attack the king's palace, and they didn't care about the palace , as well as their own brothers and uncles, and people who are close to family members, how can they be so cruel?!" He couldn't help shouting loudly, kicked the mound in front of him, and splashed all over the dust.

Mint stepped forward and patted him on the back lightly, soothing his emotions, but he was thrown away: "I saw Lawler happily set up the grand ballroom this morning for the ball. To prepare, he said to use the most gorgeous brocade for decoration, and some gold candlesticks, crystal wine glasses, sequins, wool tapestries... He even asked all the servants and maids around His Majesty to wear the most beautiful clothes, and practice how to smile brightly enough, Fortunately, there is no shame in receiving guests - why doesn't he think about those people who have just lost relatives and companions?!"

Mintel whispered: "The dance is your proposal"

Jada was stunned for a moment, then laughed at himself: "It's Aina who suggested it..." He covered his face with his hands: "Am I going too far? So many people died, but I suggested Holding a grand dance just to... compete with others for power and gain, have I... become so ugly? Just now... the grandson of the old doctor, a friend who grew up with me since I was a child... Pointing at my nose and scolding... I feel very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable , I'm not celebrating their deaths..." He crouched down, unable to tell if he was crying

Mintel was silent for a moment, then whispered: "I know you're not celebrating their deaths, mourning the dead, and not necessarily expressing them with inherent rituals. You propose to hold a dance to give their murderers what they deserve. punishment? I believe your friends will forgive you one day.”

Jada squatted there motionless, Mintel got impatient, and raised his voice: "When did you become such a mother-in-law?! Not like you at all! If you feel guilty, I will fight you. Take your life and avenge the dead! Just hide here and cry, you are still not a man!"

Jada raised his head and glared at him, but soon laughed again, stood up, and said, "Thank you, I know what to do, just...sadly" wiped the suspicious light from the corners of his eyes, He walked to his horse, and suddenly looked back at Minte, his eyes were a bit complicated: "At first, I really thought you were suspicious in many ways, but now I know that you are a reliable friend, don't worry, Jada - Novella - Conkerson will never turn his back on a friend!"

Minte felt a little guilty and coughed lightly: "Why are you talking about this..."

"I'm going to see those great lords and royal families. Whether I can suppress Prince Mario depends on the outcome of this time, no matter how difficult it is, I will do my best." He solemnly said to Minter, "Your Majesty Over there, it's up to you, please protect him." He stretched out his hand and smiled at Mintel: "You won't let me down, will you?"

Mintel's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable feeling rushed into his heart, but he still remembered his responsibilities, so he barely maintained a calm expression and stretched out his hand: "Treasure all the way"

Jada squeezed his hand tightly, turned his horse, and galloped off to see his back disappear. He suddenly felt a lot of pressure on his back, and the guilt in his heart made him almost breathless.

Think of the trusting eyes of Gal II and Jada, and then think about his mission... Mint gritted his teeth. Anyway, he just hid his origin and purpose, and didn't hurt them, did he?

Perhaps out of guilt, since Jada left, he has been distracted by the well-being of King Gal II. Instead of going to the palace every day, he has moved back to the palace again, not only supervising Geir himself Er II took medicine and rested and even kept an eye on his diet to avoid anyone taking advantage of the loop

Companions of the security agency understood his decision. After meeting twice, considering the critical situation in Nomonka, the "food merchant" used the domestic emergency as an excuse to retreat to the border. Mintel was informed of several secret locations in the mainland of Nuojia, so that he could escape in the future

As soon as Jada left, there was no news until the day before the ball, and he came back in a dusty way. He reported to the king that all but one of the lords had been ill and everyone had accepted the invitation and would be there soon

As for what he talked about privately with these lords and the great nobles of the royal family, only the king and him know

Prince Lawler learned of his cousin's return, and immediately came over to "welcome" his return. Seeing his tired and gray face, he thought he had touched a nail, and his face showed pride. , couldn't help taunting Jada one by one, but it made him even more arrogant, talking about how out of the way his dance arrangements were

Jada listened with a smile, but there was a flash in his eyes mocking such a stupid guy, was he really the fierce and decisive opponent the other day? Did he overestimate Lawler, or did the latter pretend to be too clever?

The grand ball for the Queen Mother's birthday and the King's recovery began in a tense yet calm atmosphere. According to tradition, the King is to open the first bottle of wine and toast the guests. Thanks to Gale II Shi has been in poor health for many years. This responsibility has always been performed by Prince Mario. This year, he also intends to walk on the rostrum, but he saw his brother smiling and taking the first step. After a pause, he thought it was no big deal, so he smiled I stayed where I was watching my brother's speech, but I didn't expect this scene to fall into the eyes of others.

This banquet was attended by dozens of nobles and their families, including officials and attendants, there were two or three hundred people in the newly decorated grand banquet hall. They are all admiring the gorgeous decorations, precious wines and delicious dishes, and congratulate the Queen Mother and the King for health and longevity in unison

Prince Lawler complacently shuttled through the crowd, chatting with the guests, showing his bearing and ability as a crown prince, seeing a few younger brothers who would only revolve around the young ladies, and his cousin Jada Hiding in the corner talking to some old men, he smiled contemptuously, and then loudly introduced his glorious deeds to several lords

Minter was wearing a squire official dress, silently observing the people at the ball in the corner. After a while, when she got bored, she went out to get some air

The fresh air in the garden is a good place to rest, but unfortunately...

Mint looked regretfully at a young man and woman occupying the pavilion. The man seemed to have started to do something. He had to turn and walk to the other side of the garden. Remember that there is also a pavilion there... but it was also occupied? ! But...the two seem to be familiar...

Junia, who I haven't seen for a long time, is holding a handkerchief and complaining to Scheder who is dressed in black (he didn't attend the banquet, this is his work attire): "The Queen Mother still doesn't like me! She was in front of other people just now. Just deliberately embarrassing me! I know I'm not as powerful as other daughters, but I'm also a nobleman, why should she look down on me?!"

Xie De persuaded in a low voice: "The Queen Mother has always been like this, she just doesn't like people related to your Excellency, not against you"

"That's not it!" Junia pulled the veil even harder, "She smiled at Jie just now, she just hates me! Damn Jie, just talking to those old men, I was wronged, he I won't come to comfort me... I'll just call you..."

Shed helplessly continued to persuade her~IndoMTL.com~ Minte rolled her eyes secretly and left quietly, looking for a quiet place

He walked around and accidentally came to the corridor behind the banquet hall. No one passed by here. The mountain wind was blowing, but it was very quiet. , let out a sigh of relief, and felt much more relaxed

There were loud footsteps in the corridor. He frowned and completely hid his figure in the curtain. Hearing the footsteps of people passing by, he knew it was Gal II and Prince Mario

What is this King Noga thinking? How dare he get along with Prince Mario alone? Why don't you even bring a follower? Even if he recovers his health, he is still very weak compared to his younger brother

Mint couldn't sit still, slid down the window sill quietly, followed behind them, saw them turn into a room, closed the door, and quickly walked to the next room, approaching their room from the balcony Under the window, look in secretly

The brothers were standing far away from the window talking. At first, the attitude of both parties was calm, but the more they talked, the more excited they became, and soon they started to quarrel. Pushing open the window, I just heard Gal II say: "...you are not revitalizing Nuojia, but bringing Nuojia into the abyss of hell! I will never allow you to do this!"

Prince Mario violently overturned the table in front of him: "Bastard! Do you know what you're talking about?!"

Minte was taken aback by the loud noise, she shrank back, took a few breaths carefully, and then continued to listen, but saw a dark shadow flashing in the corner of her eye, turned her head to look, and followed a pair of A familiar eye met Namu? ! Why is she here? !

(It will be broadcast at the end of the month, and the plot has sped up a bit?)
