Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 28 Conflict

"Hehe, Mr. Li, you are a little too self-deprecating, right? The army of the Northwest Army currently assembled in Merrington City has a total of more than 100,000 people, plus the three divisions you said can arrive today. The regiment has reached nearly 180,000 people. The Kaman people fled north in a panic this time, although they were afraid of your mighty military power, but I also heard that it was not unrelated to their rebellion by the Baiyin barbarians in the north. The aristocrats and gentry in their country made a lot of trouble, and even their emperor strictly supervised the army to put down the rebellion immediately. From this, it can be seen that it is inevitable for the country to return to the army. The ups and downs of each other can be seen at a glance. What's more, my Grand Duke's intention is not to ask your lord to take back the Jiama and Fanlin areas at once, Fanlin has not yet fallen, as long as you march northward, the siege of Fanlin will be solved soon!" Duke Lanmeng deservedly He is a veteran in the political arena. Seeing the stagnant atmosphere and the discord between the two sides, he immediately chattered around, and what he said was well-founded and well-founded, and Wufeng was pushed into a corner all at once.

The other party's words were smooth, but every sentence implied Ji Feng, as if he had seen through his own thoughts of retreating, Wu Feng also felt a little hot on his face, pretending to agree with the other party's words, and said with a smile: " What Lord Lan Meng said is true, but you may not be familiar with some situations. The three divisions on the southern front held Kaman's main force for more than ten days. I don't need to think about how big the loss is. You and I both know that although we failed to accomplish all our efforts to encircle and suppress our inferior army with absolute superiority, we can imagine the losses caused to our army. In addition, Fanlin is far northeast of Terok, and the Kamans have long been besieged by heavy troops. Now with the return of Mailey's army, it's hard for me to believe how long it can last? Even if my Northwest Army goes north immediately after joining forces, the Kamans only need to divide their troops to stop our army and attack Fanlin with the rest of their forces. I want to win It is not difficult for them to go down to Fanlin, right?"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and the cheerful atmosphere just now disappeared. Even the dancers serving the wine hid in the back hall knowingly. Almost everyone's attention was focused on Wufeng and Lan Meng. The conversation between the two came up. Everyone here already knew the agreement on the secret engagement between Grand Duke Allen's single daughter, Princess Anne, and Wufeng. It can be counted as one, but the situation before us is not optimistic. Although the siege of Merrington City has been lifted, the Kamans still have the upper hand in terms of military strength. It's hard to say.

A gleam of anger flashed across the faces of Grand Duke Alan, Lan Meng, and Barrins. Li Wufeng underestimated his side so much that he even asserted that Fanlin City would be captured within a few days. Openly proclaiming it in public, it really made him a little bit embarrassed. The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the shouts from outside the hall interrupted the train of thought of everyone in the hall.

"Get out of the way, I want to see the Grand Duke and my father, and I also want to see who the so-called hero who saved us Terok is." It was the voice of a young man.

Wufeng was slightly taken aback, hey, it seems that breaking the siege of Merrington this time has become an unpopular act, and the words of the people outside the temple actually contain irony, and they can also clearly understand the truth It was unbelievable to ask to see him, but when he saw the embarrassment and anxiety on the faces of Grand Duke Alan and Lan Meng sitting next to him, Wufeng suddenly understood, oh, this is probably the one who was said to be with Annie The princess's childhood sweetheart, the son of Minister of Military Affairs Lan Meng, interesting, let's see what kind of character this guy is.

"I'm sorry, Viscount Lanluo, you can't go in. The Grand Duke is hosting a banquet to entertain important guests. You make us very embarrassed by what you do. Please stay!" Mixed with anxiety, the responsibility lies, it is really difficult.

The Minister of Military Affairs couldn't sit still any longer, so he took up the position immediately, accused the Grand Duke and Li Wufeng of a crime, and wanted to go out, but was stopped by Wufeng: "Lord Lan Meng, the person outside the hall It's probably your son, why don't you invite him in, I've heard about your son's name for a long time."

Startled for a moment, a look of embarrassment appeared on Lan Meng's face. He cast a sideways glance at Grand Duke Alan who was sitting next to him, and said after gathering his composure, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate? Although he is my son, Isn't it suitable to attend such a banquet?"

"Hehe, Lord Lan Meng, you are too polite. Your son has heard that his literary talent and martial arts are outstanding. Who wouldn't want to get acquainted with such a young hero?" Wu Fenglang replied with a smile.

Seeing Wufeng's insistence, Lan Meng felt that it was not easy to shirk for a while, not to mention that his son was still outside the palace gate to come in at this time. He looked towards Grand Duke Alan next to him as if asking for help, and Grand Duke Alan was also full of helplessness. This matter will be exposed sooner or later. Although the marriage contract between Princess Anne and Wufeng is kept secret, it is still very important for parties like Lan Meng's son. , but it is difficult to hide it, but I didn't expect it to happen at this time.

A figure flashed at the gate of the palace, and a tall young man appeared in front of everyone. His broad, angular face was full of heroism, but there was an indescribable melancholy and resentment in his brows.

Seeing Grand Duke Alan waving his hand, the guards who followed him left quietly with interest. The young man turned a blind eye to his father, walked forward and first saluted Grand Duke Alan. He turned his eyes directly to Wufeng who was sitting next to Allen.

"You are Li Wufeng?" The words burst out between the teeth, as if the cold wind slipped from the ice of ten thousand years, carrying bursts of biting coldness.

"Hehe, um, I am Li Wufeng. I have heard of the young brother's famous name. I saw him today, and he is indeed a hero. Come, come, you and I will sit at the same table and have a good chat." As if he couldn't see the other party's hostility, Wufeng still had a pleasant smile on his face, and took the initiative to let the other party attend and greeted the other party to take a seat.

"No need, Lanluo can't afford to climb high." The divine light loomed in his eyes, and the vigorous body exuded bursts of killing intent, and his aura firmly locked Wufeng in front of him.

"Young brother, that's out of line. You and I are about the same age and background, so how can you say something high?" Wu Feng faintly felt that the other party showed deep hostility, but he believed that the other party was by no means a reckless person. , at such a time, if there is an unfavorable move against oneself, it is tantamount to pushing one's own country into the abyss of extinction.

Letting out a long breath, the handsome man stared at Wufeng firmly with a pair of star eyes, but a complex and painful look appeared on his face: "Li Wufeng, although I, Lan Luo, am ignorant, I am also very knowledgeable in Terok. I have heard about your name as a hero of the empire for a long time, and I thought you were a real man standing up to the sky, but what you did to our Czech Republic is unbelievable. The Czech Republic and the Tanghe Empire should be close allies. Hundreds of us Over the years, you have guarded the northern frontier for the empire, and you have worked hard without credit. Right now, Terok is facing a catastrophe. You are a vassal of the empire, and you are the future son-in-law of His Majesty the emperor. Why do you still make things difficult for us? What about malicious blackmail? You don’t have to use other reasons to cover up the explanation, you and I, including everyone here, understand it, is it difficult for anyone to get rid of the entanglement of interests?”

The candid words are like a heavy hammer hitting Wu Feng's heart. Seeing that the other party is not only about the same age as him, but also has a heroic spirit, he really wants to make friends, but the other party says But the words he said were so merciless, and every sentence made sense, especially the last sentence he made was directly inserted into his heart. Yes, since joining the imperial army, it seems that all my thoughts and energy have been devoted to how to expand my power and how to grab more benefits, and everything else, including feelings, seems to have been left behind. I don't think there is anything wrong, it seems that my women and subordinates are a little alienated from me ~IndoMTL.com~ But the awe is increasing day by day, is it what I have to pay for everything I pursue?

Although he was confused for a while, his rationality told him that he should not show any emotion at this time. With a slight smile, Wufeng asked in a pleasant manner: "I'm afraid I have misunderstood you, young brother. Can you tell me what Li did?" What kind of outrageous thing makes young brother hate it so deeply? Could it be that Li Mou came thousands of miles to rescue the damaged soldiers and generals to break the siege of Merlington, and his good intentions became the liver and lungs of a donkey?"

"You!" The handsome man's face changed suddenly, but he didn't know how to speak for a while, like asking for help for Princess Anne's engagement with the other party was originally proposed by his father and Archduke Ellen, but if there is no such condition, only He was afraid that the other party would not spend his troops to confront the Kamans anyway, but it was hard to blame the other party for such reasons. It's just that the person he has admired for many years wants to throw himself into the arms of others. The handsome man really can't bear this bad breath.

"Hmph! I know what I have done. I don't think I need to explain it all here. Besides, I just heard someone outside the palace being timid and pushy to help our country recover the lost territory. Is this also the performance of an ally? What?" The handsome man finally suppressed his anger, and changed the topic to the matter that his father was arguing with the guy in front of him just now, because the fact that his favorite Princess Anne was snatched away by the other party was hard to tell in front of everyone. He is also a great insult.

Hearing that the other party changed the subject, Wufeng felt relieved. After all, the engagement with Princess Anne as a condition for his assistance is not very bright. Knowing the inside story, it would be inappropriate to point it out all at once. As for returning to the topic just now, it would be much easier to handle.
