Demon King, Don’t Run Away Chapter 699: Unexpected visitors

Based by the angry gazes of the envoys, Yang Yu straightened his body and ignored what would happen next in the conference room.

The purpose of Yang Yu's coming here is very clear. There is a high probability that he will not come here a second time. Since the other party does not intend to give face, he does not need to go out of his way to establish a good relationship with them.

Besides, I am in the military faction, so there is a natural gap between me and the civilian faction.

If you want to bridge this gap, you need to get along day and night, and be in the same mind. Yang Yu doesn't have the time to do that.

"I'm sorry, most of them are overconfident in their abilities and think that Prime Minister Mindalak sent others here because he doesn't trust their work."

Walking in front to lead the way for Yang Yu and the others, Qingzhu had a helpless smile on his face.

"Rather than saying this, it is better to say that they had an extremely negative attitude towards this war from the beginning, so negative that they wanted to 'please' the Luoze Empire."

Qingzhu didn’t refute Yang Yu’s direct poke at the pain point, and a sigh slipped out of his mouth,

“It’s been a long time since the prisoner difference has been as small as this year.

At the beginning of the war, the gap between the prisoners on both sides was not large, and everyone was very active and enthusiastic in their work.

However, year after year, the number of prisoners gradually increased.

Only the year when Wan Zhangshi personally went to battle did the decline slightly recover. Unfortunately, His Majesty was already seriously injured, and the morale that had been boosted also quickly declined...

Don’t look at them like this, they were considered heroes in the past..."

"So what? If you don't believe in your own country and gradually become compromised and don't seek ways to make changes, then it's better to give up your position to more passionate young people."

“You really don’t leave any room for what you say.

The situation of prisoner exchange is relatively complicated. Many times it is out of control. Once you get used to it, you don’t know how to change it.

Tomorrow we will price the officers captured by Luo Ze. Until then, feel free to read whatever information you want. ”

With that said, Qingzhu opened the door of the archives and called for help to help Yang Yu find the information exchanged in the past.

Yang Yu was not polite and told what he needed.

After the administrator piled up the information on the long table in the archives room, Qingzhu gave Yang Yu a few more instructions before he left the archives.

With Ias and Bai Jin as his assistants, Yang Yu opened the files one by one and looked up the minutes of meetings on prisoner exchanges in recent years, as well as the detailed records of negotiations with the Luoze Empire.

The files in previous years were somewhat shabby and often looked through, but the files in recent years are all brand new, and the difference in the number of times they have been looked at can be seen at a glance.

As Yang Yu expected, the exchange of prisoners became more and more streamlined and rigid.

The envoys of Wansheng Kingdom have compromised since a long time ago.

Even if there were occasional attempts during the period, after the request was rejected, few people would strongly raise objections, insist on the original request, or find ways to take a step back.

In the early days of the war, Wansheng Kingdom also made many mistakes in the prisoner exchange. It should be said that Wansheng Kingdom did not give enough respect to this war before.

Many powerful people regard war as a channel for class advancement. In order to gain merit, they send countless incompetent children into the battlefield.

In order to exchange for the heirs of those powerful people and prevent them from becoming extinct, many replacements were made that seemed fair but were actually unfair.

......Huh?

Yang Yu vaguely noticed something was wrong,

"Huanghua, Hibiscus, give me statistics on the replacement records of officers whose evaluations are below B each year."

Hearing Yang Yu's voice, Bai Jin and Ias looked through the files together and quickly gave the results.

Yang Yu looked again, frowning, and even Lotkar, who had transformed into a human form, saw the clues.

It is understandable that in the first two years, a large number of aristocratic children were sent to the front line to serve as officers...

There are many wise men in Wansheng Kingdom, and it is impossible not to see the consequences of doing so.

Slowly closing the file, Yang Yu lay on the chair and thought for a long time, then took out a pen and paper to scribble, sort out the current intelligence and unknown information, and increase or decrease the current options.

At the same time, preparations for the next "battle" began.

With this, the day passed quickly.

February 28, 415 in the Luox calendar.

Small Night City welcomed a special guest. His arrival was something that no one in the envoy group had expected.

All the messengers were restless, carefully observing the handsome elf sitting on the throne,

"Prime Minister Mingdalak, we are about to formulate our exchange list for the Luoze Empire. I wonder what the prime minister is here for?"

After tasting the tea brewed by Qingzhu, Mingdalak put down the teacup in his hand and said:

“This year, a lot of our soldiers fell into the hands of the Luoze Empire.

Because of a certain person's outstanding performance, we also have a lot of advantageous chips.

This prisoner exchange will affect our subsequent defense and counterattack plans to a certain extent.

After discussing with His Majesty Qianxialan, it is most appropriate for me to personally lead this prisoner exchange.

No need to worry about government matters, I have found reliable people to temporarily take my place. ”

There is indeed some truth to it. Before the end of this winter, the envoys never thought that they would take in so many Luoze prisoners. They spent a lot of energy running up and down in order to continuously expand the shelter.

"Since the Prime Minister said this, we can rest assured. I don’t know what the Prime Minister’s opinions are on this prisoner exchange?

And which general was the outstanding fighter? We have heard some rumors on the battlefield. We only know that it was Akiket's troops and the support troops of the Fifth Western Army who sent so many prisoners here. ”

Mindalak did not answer Tufen's question immediately, but looked around, looking for Yang Yu.

Finding that he was not found, Mindalak was about to ask about Yang Yu's whereabouts when Yang Yu appeared at the door of the conference room with his team.

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, I am fine and happy to see you again."

Mindalak raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said hello to Yang Yu,

"You're well, Mr. Tudou.

Your performance this winter is really amazing. Without you, we would never have captured so many prisoners? ”

As soon as these words came out, the faces of several envoys and ministers suddenly became unsightly, while Mindalak's words continued,

"I heard that you came here because you found a loophole in the prisoner exchange. Have you discovered anything in the past few days? Have you had a good chat with the envoys here?"

"I would like to have a good chat."

Yang Yu's eyes swept across the conference room. The envoys present lowered their heads slightly, not daring to meet Yang Yu's eyes.

"It's just that these elders don't seem to welcome my arrival, so I can only go to the archives to investigate by myself."

"Really?"

Looking around, he saw the unnatural expressions of the envoys. Mingdalak seemed to know something, but instead of criticizing or reprimanding him, he continued to ask Yang Yu:

"Did you find anything?"
