Silent Crown Chapter 66: Negotiation

　　 The next day

　　Westminster Palace afternoon

　　 is solemn and solemn, and under the guard of layers of guards, it exudes the aura of no one to enter.

　　 On weekdays, there is noisy people and people coming and going. It is called the Capitol. Members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons are arguing with each other and playing political tricks.

　　 It’s just that there is silence here, because there is a more important meeting unfolding in secret.

　　The negotiation between Angru and Yunloucheng has been on the third day.

　　 is obviously an important matter of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, but at the moment the venue is empty. There is no secretary of state, no royal justice, and no military personnel involved.

　　 On the left side of the long table, the Yunlou officials sitting in their robes are clustered with white-haired girls in silence.

　　 On the right, apart from a few secretaries who are responsible for recording meeting minutes and a few necessary representatives, there are only two men presiding over the negotiation.

　　 One of them sat down on a chair, looking drunk, as if he had just been pulled from the bed and dragged to the venue. Not only the white beard is disordered, but even the button on the sleeve has a wrong button.

　　 Now he is sitting there, unconscious, not listening to the negotiation process at all, and his alcohol is still alive.

　　 Just a few minutes ago, this man named Maxwell was still asleep in this meeting place. Now that he can open his eyes is a good thing.

　　 In fact, most people don’t understand why the Queen entrusts such an important matter to him. And his "mental patient" in a white coat...

　　 just like being released from a mental hospital, the old man was silent from the beginning, saying nothing. Just staring at the princess across the table with a feverish look. The hands were trembling nervously, as if they were about to reach out and strangle the girl!

　　 In Avalon, most people know a coincidence-the Royal Academy is next door to the Arkham Mental Hospital.

　　 And even more coincidentally, these two places are rich in lunatics and lunatics. The former will burn the national budget when they are mad, and the tax will be settled by the citizens when the latter is mad.

　　 Anyway, it's not a **** good thing!

　　 Now, having met such two guys who seem to be completely unreliable for a meeting, it is fortunate that the Princess of the Cloud Tower is not furious.

　　 But unfortunately, what should be discussed is still to be discussed, especially for this kind of things between the two countries.

　　 Don’t even think about taking advantage of a copper!

　　－

　　"The entrance ceremony, the State Guest House, the Royal Banquet Hall...Since you entered the city, there have been continuous attacks on the princess in the past few days. There have been six attacks so far."

　　 Maxwell patted the table, his old face was full of distress, "The terrorist attack caused by His Highness has resulted in dozens of deaths and injuries. Among them, one earl was slightly injured, two viscounts received serious injuries, and six The baron received severe mental trauma and has been bedridden so far.

　　 These talents who could have become the pillars of the country have now become trash who were scared to get under the maid’s skirt and shout for their mother. Isn't Yunlou City saying anything about this? "

　　"Funny!"

　　 Without waiting for the girl to speak, the bureaucrat beside her sneered: "I will wait for Angelo as a messenger to ensure the safety of the mission. Isn't it something your country should take for granted?

　　 Rather, if the princess suffers any damage, your country will be even more embarrassing, right? "

　　"Of course, but..."

　　 Maxwell raised his brows, and laughed softly: "If this is Yunloucheng's own cause, then I have to say something else."

　　 "Excuse me, your excellency, please also express it."

　　"According to our investigation, the group of assassins should have something to do with the exile regime in Yunlou City, right?"

　　 Maxwell threw a lot of information on the table: "These days, they sneak into Avalon and engage in trouble in the Lower City. It is said that they want to traffic human beings. The policemen are all overwhelmed.

　　According to our investigation, their leader is an Oriental named "Yunlou Qingxi". He claimed to be the orthodox ruler of Yunlou, and declared that he was only fighting against the rebels and injustice.

　　Do you have anything to say about Yunlou City? "

　　 "It's ridiculous."

　　 The official in charge of the negotiation snorted: "There is only one ruler in Yunlou City, and that is the princess's father, His Royal Highness Yunlou Qingshu. Where is the exiled regime? I hope that the Royal Family of Anglo will not be affected by anything. It's good for the stubborn people to cheat."

　　"Really? Then there may be some misunderstandings between us."

　　 Maxwell nodded, but his eyes turned cold, "As everyone knows, your Highness's father: Yunlou Qingshu, because he is not the orthodox heir of the Yunlou clan, he has been criticized for a long time.

　　As a monarch, the ruler of the Eastern Aurora Empire also refused to recognize Yunlou Qingshu's rule over Yunlou City. As a result, for a long time, there have always been anti-thief chaos in the city of Yunlou, and the remnants of crime continue..."

　　 His eyes were painful, and he shook his head and sighed: "Under such internal and external troubles, Yunlou City still wants to get rid of the eastern camp and win over the western countries, and if Mou Tu is self-reliant... even her Majesty can hardly show the cloud. Loucheng’s support."

　　"If this is what Anglu meant, what else is necessary for the meeting?"

　　 At the very center, the girl sitting silently finally raised her eyes.

　　 seems to have finally noticed something of interest. She looked at Maxwell's touches, her voice soft when she spoke. But the soft voice unbelievably overwhelmed the messy voice.

　　The white-haired girl whispered: "My father once taught me that there are so many truths in the world, but in the final analysis, the word ‘choice’ can’t be avoided.

　　Where is there anything in this world that will only benefit and not have to bear the consequences? Moreover, even if my Yunlou family really gave away the purification technology of the dragon vein blood, would Angelu really dare to accept it? "

　　 "Really?"

　　Beside Maxwell, the neurotic man in the white robe was taken aback, and he was overjoyed: "Take it! Why not take it!"

　　 Maxwell rolled his eyes and kicked him: "Newton, don't forget that you are here to listen today and you are not qualified to speak. It is not yet time for technical support."

　　 Newton curled his lips and sat back again.

　　－

　　"According to the conditions of Yunlou City, you used the blood purification technology in the blood of the dragon vein in exchange for Anglu's support for the independence of Yunlou City. This is a good thing that benefits each other.

　　 After all, Yunlou City is lonely overseas, and the affiliation with Dongfang has long existed in name only for so many years..."

　　 Maxwell made his voice again, but this time, he turned out to be fluent in the Eastern language, Aurora Mandarin, with a pure and fluent accent: "I don't understand one thing about this."

　　He paused and looked at the girl’s indifferent eyebrows:

　　"The Oriental blood purification technology is actually a by-product of the research on the blood of the dragon vein, right? No, it should be said that the carrier of this technology is the blood of the dragon vein...

　　 If you want to deliver this kind of technology for purifying blood, it is almost equivalent to delivering a heavenly being with the blood of the dragon.

　　 To be offensive, the only person in Yunlou City who meets the technical requirements is the princess, and even the purity of the bloodline of the king of Yunlou is not enough.

　　 Does her Royal Highness really intend to marry the eldest prince of our country like a rumor? "

　　 "There is nothing you can do."

　　The girl said softly: "If it is good to have in-laws, the relations between the two countries will naturally be more stable."

　　 "Good! Good!"

　　 Newton became excited: "If your Royal Highness is interested by then, you might as well come to the research institute often. I will definitely scan next... Scan what to welcome!"

　　 "...I said it, Newton, shut up."

　　 Maxwell glared at him, and he was silent.

　　 But Maxwell started to have a headache.

　　 Your Royal Highness...It's not as easy to get it as it looks. Whether it is pure pressure or roundabout probing, it seems to have no effect.

　　 Thinking of this, he suddenly sighed.

　　"To be honest, I was also dragged back from the fief last night to drive the ducks to the shelves, and was granted the right to negotiate with you on behalf of the Anglo Kingdom.

　　 Yugong, I naturally hope that Her Royal Highness can marry Bianguo. The two fellow initiates will be good forever. But privately..."

　　Maxwell's expression became depressed: "To tell the truth, although the Princess is young, but the country is beautiful, she is one of the only beauties you see in the next life.

　　 And the Great Prince of our country, he has been sick since childhood, well, well, he is still mentally retarded, and he still thinks he is a sheep. He, he, he... he is really not worthy of you! "

　　 Maxwell's expression became sad and indignant, and he slapped the table sharply: "Why don't you... just forget about it?!"

　　 Newton is anxious: "Hey! Maxwell! Which side are you on!"

　　"Etiquette, beauty and justice are the essence of human nature!" Maxwell said awe-inspiringly: "Since beauty equals justice, of course I must stand on the side of justice!

　　 Besides, what is more important than the lifelong happiness of a girl? ! "

　　"……"

　　 Newton wanted to spit out old blood.

　　The expressions of the officials in the Keyunlou turned black.

　　 This guy, who slandered the Anglo Royal family as worthless, was actually playing a trick of retreat. If it is really like what he said, let this matter go, and Yunlou's position will be even more embarrassing.

　　 In the past few years, the Aurora Empire from the Eastern Civil War is about to regain its vitality. Facing the Yunlou City, which has always been lonely overseas and sitting on the golden mountain, the regent of the empire has already sharpened his sword.

　　If there is no support from the Western camp, I am afraid that Yunlou City will be in a dire situation.

　　 In the silence, the officials looked at each other and stood up to speak in the head of the courtesy officer, only to see the white-haired girl pressing the palm of her hand, her expression suffocated, but after all she didn't say anything, and sat down obediently.

　　 Then, the voice of Her Royal Highness broke the silence.

　　 "Mr. Maxwell's words are serious. Compared to my family and country, my contribution is only a small matter. Moreover, if this talk ends in this way, I am afraid that the royal family of your country will be deeply troubled, right?"

　　"It’s okay, the Eastern bloodline purification technology is not unique to Yunlou. Let’s change to another disaster!

　　There are so many Orientals, it’s always okay to find an ugly ghost. It's just... King Yunlou, I'm afraid to find other countries to support his great cause of breaking the earth and conquering borders. "

　　"Mister I’m afraid I’ve miscalculated. Eastern countries have always been xenophobic. The nine surnames of Longmai went their own way and attacked each other. Even the emperor’s orders were never called. Angru was a thousand miles away and wanted to take it out. It's hard to impress them with their chips."

The 　　 girl said lightly: "What's more, besides the Yunlou clan who has close contacts with western countries, who is willing to risk the world's ills and take the blood of their ancestors to make deals with the barbarians?"

　　 "Oh?"

　　Maxwell laughed: "Isn't Yunlou not afraid of being pointed out by a thousand husbands, and the ancestors are angry, and the sky will send retribution?"

　　 After the long table, the complexions of the Yunlou officials suddenly changed, and there was a trace of irritation that could not be covered.

　　 Indeed, trading with barbarians on the basis of ancestral blood will definitely be a great shame and embarrassment after it spreads out. For this reason, Yunlou is also ready to be accused by Qianfu, but now, it is not the other "Dragon Maiden Nine Surnames" who laughed at them first, but the original "Allies"! How ridiculous is this?

　　The understatement pierced their weak skin like needles, making their faces flushed and their eyes angry.

　　 But in those angry gazes, there was a girl's cold voice.

　　"Everyone, calm down, what Mr. Maxwell said makes sense."

　　The white-haired girl confessed what Maxwell said lightly: "If this happens, my Cloud Tower City will definitely be ridiculed by the nations and pointed out by thousands of people.

　　 If the ancestors are angry, and if they really provoke retribution, it will be self-inflicted.

　　—but, so what? "

　　 There was dead silence, and everyone stared at the girl in amazement.

　　 Maxwell raised his head in surprise, looking at the girl's eyes, as if he had seen something, the ‘kind’ smile on his face gradually solidified.

　　 As if a flame was ignited in her heart, the girl finally raised her eyes. In those indifferent eyes, there seemed to be the radiant rays of the scorching sun, which made people afraid to look directly.

　　 Subconsciously, Maxwell straightened up from his chair, the laughter in his eyes disappeared.

　　He said, "I don’t understand what the princess said."

　　"This is the truth my father told me before going to the West. Here, it's just a paraphrase."

　　 The girl whispered, "——Life for a hundred years, like a white horse passing a gap. The emperor is easy to die, and sometimes I feel unwilling. If you want to do something, you can’t obey the rules. Since you have the world in mind, then you should have a great revolution. It means that there are no taboos.

　　 The words are not enough for people, the ancestors are not for law, and the change of heaven is not enough! "

　　－

　　－

　　 After a long time, the long meeting finally ended.

　　 Watching the girl's back and leaving under the crowd, Maxwell still sat in the chair.

　　 He is smoking a cigarette, his eyes are sleepy.

　　 "Hey, Maxwell." Newton glanced at him and looked at him in thought: "What's wrong with you?"

　　 "It's nothing, just being scared."

　　 Maxwell recalled the girl’s eye pupils and sighed softly: "'The ancestors lack the law, the heavens are not afraid, and the words are not good enough"?

　　 simply stepped on the ancestors, axioms, and morals... What terrible wolf ambition is it to take such words for granted? I'm afraid this time it's going to be bad. I can't figure out such a person. "

　　 "For so many years, you can manage the royal family, the Congress, the aristocrats, and the budget... Now you start to feel that you can't manage a little girl?"

　　 Newton snorted: "Are you old?"

　　 "To be honest~IndoMTL.com~ I am still not sure-who am I negotiating with?"

　　 Maxwell scratched his head: "Are those words her thoughts? Or Yunlou Qingshu's meaning? I always feel that the person who is talking to me is not herself, but a ghost whose desire is difficult to fill.

　　 Over the years, everyone has said that Yunlou Qingshu has a good daughter. But now I understand that that guy never treated her as a daughter. All he needs is a tool..."

　　He sighed: "It's a pity."

　　 "What is a pity?"

　　 "So, you lunatics are people who don’t know the joy of life at all!"

　　 Maxwell sighed and shook his head helplessly: "You have been staring at her for an afternoon, but you have been thinking about tying her to your operating table like a white mouse. Do you think it’s a brain? Something wrong?

　　 Newton, she is a girl! Is she only sixteen years old?

　　 Have you ever looked at her carefully? Her eyes are so dark, like black pearls, with a lonely light...It's so beautiful, it makes people like it.

　　 Such a good girl should live carefree in gardens and fairy tales, like lotus flowers. But someone made her a tool. And for the sake of her dominance, she will be married to a mentally retarded in three years..."

　　 "What a **** pity."

　　 He pinched out the cigarette, turned and left.
