"What a shit! Not good, of course not!"
The most violent response to Lancelow's proposal was Gengoro, who is currently careful and careful about the finances of everyone.
"Now we don’t have extra spare money on hand. It’s good if you don’t want the boss to save money. If you can avoid the extra expenses like this, you can avoid it. Besides, it’s expensive to hold a big banquet like this. There is no such big money out of this budget."
Gengoro spent a lot of effort to get acquainted with the many elders of the court faction, and relying on his deceptive face to win the favor of the other party, they were willing to allocate more funds. Otherwise, the original budget can only cover the basic living expenses and cannot afford the additional expenses.
"Let's do it! How about a celebration party? When people move to a new house, there will be a celebration party. I will have a party to celebrate the new owner of the ivory white pagoda. This shouldn't be too much!"
"Very often. Excessive. Part! Boss, you don't want to be heartbroken. Others are the enthronement ceremony of the king of a country. Only us, who have been in the ivory white pagoda for so long, are only the lord of the palace and have no influence. , There is no room for it, so holding a celebration party like this can only make people laugh. Besides, the money on hand is also used for its own purposes. If you want to do it, you have to pay for it!"
Being shouldered the burden of arranging funds for everyone, Gengoro's speech status greatly increased. In order to make Lancelow give up, he listed the current budget schedule for Lancelow to see.
Lancelow planned to cut some of them to raise funds, but Gengoro immediately rejected it with irrefutable reasons.
"These sums of money are all necessary expenses, and random changes will be very detrimental to us. If you really want to delete it, then delete your boss’s meal or Miss Xiaocao’s share. Anyway, ghosts don’t need to eat, so it’s natural to delete them."
In the end, it was the silent grass who spoke. She patted her husband on the shoulder and smiled: "You can't make additional funding. You can do two things together! Three days later, on December 2nd, there will be a meeting in the Ivory White Pagoda. Husband, you can find friends. Come, everyone, have a good drink and have a good time!"
Lancelow flipped through the budget book and saw this expenditure. It was a farewell ceremony at the end of all the ceremonies one month after the death of the queen. The elders of the palace allocated a large sum of money, hoping to express their gratitude to Li. The grief of Queen Ya, and if the money were transferred to the celebration party, it would be more than enough.
"My wife, I'm so sorry. You are still dead, I will have a celebration at your funeral. I am really embarrassed to think about it."
"It's okay, the deceased himself agrees! The funeral doesn't have to be solemn and solemn. Husband, you can find more people to set off fireworks, sing big dramas, perform sideshows, and have a good time!"
"Hey!" It was Gengoro who interrupted the two people looking at each other with a dull look, "Can you talk a little bit like normal people!"
As expected by Gengoro, after hearing that a celebration will be held at the Queen’s final funeral, the palace elders headed by Bai Dezhao were shocked, all paled in anger and strongly opposed.
But Lancelot doesn't care about their feelings. Now that the money is in hand, they and Youxue are happily preparing for the reception.
For Lancelow, letting a group of civilians enter the ivory white tower and have a lively drink. This action seems to have some special meaning, but he can't grasp it for a while.
However, during the preparation process, he had a doubt. When he mentioned this doubt to his wife, Xiao Cao was immediately surprised.
"You mean, the boss suspects that there will be other forces taking advantage of the climax of this funeral?" After listening to Xiaocao's narration, Gengoro thought.
"It's not impossible. Reins' civil war is in full swing. If the foreign forces do nothing, it would be unreasonable. But so far, all parties have remained silent. I think they should almost act a little."
The main hostile force comes from Eltinol, but it can be subdivided into several stocks. The most direct influence is of course the Huazi family, Shi family, and Medici family that are adjacent to Reins, but because the whereabouts of the head of the family is unknown, there is no action by Ren He.
But outside of the seven major sects, Xiaocao and Gengoro never dared to underestimate the existence of Bailudong, let alone forget the man who represents Bailudong.
"The boss's idea is not wrong. The Brothel Alliance just sent me a message. I think the same news will come from the intelligence network of the Magic Guild soon." Gengoro said: "The commander of the Eltinus Second Army. , Marshal Zhou Gongjin, has entered Reings and came down from the grass, under the name of Bailudong messenger, to mourn the queen, I believe that in today and tomorrow, he will receive his request to watch the ceremony. "
"The one who should have come is finally here." Xiao Cao said: "The question is what is the purpose of the arrival? Is it to weigh the enemy? This marshal does not seem to be such a romantic person!"
"Not only him, but all those who have other intentions at the funeral have two purposes: spying and assassination." Gengoro said: "If the Jacob's declaration is a declaration of war, it is an enemy of the radicals. I would like to kill the boss before he has stabilized the overall situation; as for a clearer mind, I intend to use this opportunity to find out the boss’s bottom and see how many talents and resources he has around him as a hostility in the future. Foundation."
"As you can see, will Marshal Zhou be the former? Or the latter?"
"The latter. But be careful, he is not without the ability to implement the former." Yuangoro said: "Zhou Gongjin is not just the Second Army. After the Kyushu War, I heard that Lu You developed a lot of restraining heaven. The skill of position warfare, if Bailudong’s resources are all in his hands, then he is very likely to have a weapon that we don’t know. In addition, there is one more thing that may be their goal..."
As Gengoro said, his eyes moved to Xiaocao, the same four characters appeared in the two people at the same time.
"The Queen's Coffin."
The death of Queen Liya is undoubtedly an important key to this whole thing. With Zhou Gongjin's shrewdness, she will inevitably want to verify the mystery of the queen's life and death. Since the queen's coffin will inevitably appear at the funeral, it is the best opportunity for actual verification.
Since each other has this consensus, we must make preparations on this.
At this time, Nier, who returned from the self-study palace, had a stinky face and brought a very bad news.
The message was sent by the secret envoy of the Brothel Alliance. It seemed that such a confidential matter should be sealed by a special method. It is not necessary to inform Gengoro in a personal letter. However, it was probably because the Brothel Alliance had been too good at catching Yuangoro's mentality. The emissary directly informed Nier who was going to return to the palace and asked her to send the message on her behalf.
"The fainthearts of the Hua family seem to have taken action. The latest intelligence of the Brothel Alliance. They began to rectify their armaments, planning to go east to the north and open the sky, cooperate with the rebels, and suppress the capital in one fell swoop."
Gengoro and Xiaocao looked at each other, and both saw grief and sigh in each other's eyes.
It's so short-sighted and short-sighted in the daytime! It is easy to ask the gods to send the gods away. The Hua family's army will go out in a big way. Even if the two armies can annihilate the enemy, the Hua family's forces will not be able to retreat. At that time, they will have to cut five provinces during the day to ascend the throne. ceremony.
Such consequences should not have been thought of during the day, but he still invited the Hua family to participate in the co-attack. The only explanation was that he wanted to call the king crazy. As long as the heavenly enemies can be eliminated as soon as possible, what? It doesn't matter anymore.
Xiao Cao thought a little, but also thought of other possibilities. Maybe there is no choice when traveling during the day. After the Hua family has been defeated and defeated, the situation is now precarious, and the children are separated and hearted, and there is a slight major change. A long-standing great family may just disperse.
The only way is to leave the country during the Reins civil strife, so as to take advantage of it. During the day, I want to stop it. There is no way to directly negotiate with them to avoid the more and more chaotic civil wars. In the end, the entire Reins was also swallowed by the Hua family.
This matter is really not allowed to be trivial, because for Lancelow, at present, he can only defend Jixia City, and there is no force to send troops outside the city. The situation will only get worse if a large army crushes the territory every day. bad.
There are no contingency plans. Both Xiaocao and Gengoro have come up with several strategies in their minds, but they need to be approved by the highest decision-maker before they can be implemented.
When he found Lancelow, he was naked, carrying a wine bottle in his hand, commanding Yuxue and the servants in the palace, preparing for the banquet, and when he saw his wife and brother coming, he blinked and asked with a smile Said: "Is the Hua family ready to send troops?"
This question surprised the two think tanks. With Lancelow’s military aptitude and reaction, it was impossible for him to calculate this, and the secret envoy of the Brothel Alliance would not confide in him. Then, he was How do you know that this should be classified as first-class confidential information?
"It's hard to explain. In short, I think that brother rice bucket should almost move."
It’s really not easy to explain, but in the fight on Risi’s arena, I can vaguely feel that Hua Tianxie’s fighting motives are not simple. In addition to winning victory, it seems that he also has to fight for his love. The meaning of war.
This is the unexpected conclusion that Lancelow came to when reviewing the battle on that day alone, but even though he felt that way, it’s not easy to check it in front of his wife after all. It’s just that if his feelings are true, it’s a good idea. With a manic personality, it is impossible to sit back and watch an enemy who takes away his love, and is at ease in Reings. Then, it is not a big surprise that the Hua family will move.
This consideration was something that Xiaocao and Gengoro didn't pay attention to, and based on this conclusion, Lancelot was proud to appreciate the rare surprised expressions of his wife and righteous brother.
But what surprised them even more was still to come.
In response to the Hua family’s invasion soon after, Gengoro put forward this view: Although it is inhumane, it should be taken care of by sex. The children of the Hua family have already run rampantly in their territory. If they enter Reins, how can they not be looted? reason?
If you act like this, people will inevitably blame this responsibility on the day trip that you are conspiring with. At that time, Lancelow will be able to fight against the country thief and become a hero to protect the country. The full support of the Insi people.
"Of course, things may not go so smoothly, but we can also add to the flames and plant this scandal to Hua's head. As long as the media cooperates properly, it can have the expected effect." Gengoro's meaning is very clear, it is necessary At the time, the burning, killing and robbery could be done by Lancelot, and the tents were recorded on Hua Tianxie's head, and the direction of people's resentment was only towards that side.
Listening to this proposal, Xiaocao didn't say anything. As an assistant, he and Gengoro should respond to their identities. They should even be more self-sufficient. They should not use the intimacy of Lancelot’s wife to add words to arouse dissatisfaction.
Furthermore, this proposal is highly practical. The Hua family's dispatch of troops was not so much that Lancelot didn't want to interfere, but rather powerless to interfere. If Goro according to Gen.’s proposal follows the tide, the Reins people will have no choice but to vote for Lancelot. At this time, the originally vicious violence has turned into force sufficient to defend the country, and the people will understand it again. At this point, a powerful monarch can give the country a powerful asylum.
No matter what, the decision remains with Lancelot, and unless he asks for advice, Xiaocao does not intend to make any comments at this time.
"No." After listening to Gengoro's proposal, Lancelot's answer was concise and powerful, "Reins is my territory, my territory, how can I be ravaged by those savages with the surname Han? As a king, I Of course I have to defend my country."
These words are really awe-inspiring. If they are recorded in the annals of history, they must be immortal. However, the real reason is in half.
"Pillaging the fruits of the people’s hard work is the power of the king. If it is robbed by the Hua family now, how can there be anything to search after my uncle comes to power? This proposal is too big and bad. For our future enjoyment, now Desperately, we must also prevent the Hua family from entering the country."
"Boss, don't talk so easily." Gengoro frowned and said, "Even if Reins' local defense team is mobilized, there is not enough power to stop the Hua family, not to mention that we don't have half of the soldiers now. What do you want to use? Send an army to stop the Hua family?"
Lancelow raised the glass bottle in his hand and took a few sips before leaving his answer, "Army? Don’t we have this kind of thing? Bring the five-color flag stationed on Alcatraz Island. , A battle with the Hua family’s army should be worth seeing!"
Although they heard what he said clearly, the two staff members didn't quite understand the meaning of the words for a while. After a long while, the shock appeared to them.
"How could it be? This practice is simply whimsical." Gengoro objected: "Boss, do you know what the consequences will be if the five-color flag is evacuated from West Corca? Or... do you know what the five-color flag is? What? This kind of thing is not a joke..."
Lonely hanging in the northern waters of Reinth, Sisi Corca Island, known as the "Alcatraz Island", has a huge dimensional entrance to the demon world. It is the only natural way for the demon to come to the world today. pipeline. The five-color flag stationed on the island with the "Magic Artillery Corps" has been known as the Continent of the Wind since three thousand years ago. It is Reins' unique force.
Although since the Great War of Kyushu, few demons have appeared, there are still many demons who try to enter the mainland from the island. If it weren’t for the five-color flag to always defend the city and form a defense of the iron wall, I don’t know how many demons will be there. The demons burned, killed and destroyed on the mainland, causing harm to the world? And Lancelow, the first military order of the new Lord Reins, turned out to be the withdrawal of the five-color flag?
"I really don't know what the five-color flag is, but since we can use it, and it is the only thing we can mobilize, let him use it fiercely!" Lancelow said: "The original five-color flag Qi’s oath is not to participate in the civil war, but now this is not a civil war, they should be very happy if they have the opportunity to defend their home and country!"
"That's not what I said, their task is..."
"Their task is to prevent the enemy from invading our country. Now they are just moving the defense station from north to west. There is nothing wrong with it!"
"No wonder! The five-color flag leaves West Corca Island, and the realm population is not suppressed by the army. If the demons detect this and invade on a large scale, the entire continent of the wind will be ruined!"
"Oh! Then let it be done! My old sister and I have good martial arts, and my wife has turned into a ghost again. Even if the continent of the wind is over, we can survive with openness, heart, and heart. If you worry about this kind of thing, you are probably the only one of us."
"Boss, even if you are selfish, you should think more about it." Gengoro's voice was almost pleading, "If the demons invade from Alcatraz Island, it is not Eltinus and Martial Arts that will be the first to die. , It’s your Reins! You can’t be a king. Doesn’t it matter?"
"No, no, you should think from a different angle." Lancelow shook his head and said, "If the demons invade, the people will be unhappy. In order to resist the invasion of the demons, we have reason to collect military expenses and enrich the national treasury. If there is a way to recruit an army, the common people will also understand that a powerful monarch is needed to protect them. If this is the case, we will become heroes of national salvation... Huh? Did you say this just now?"
"...When did you learn Hulagu's set?"
"Don’t wrinkle a face. Think about it. The provinces in the coastal area are all within the sphere of influence during the day. If the demons invade, he will be the first to bear the brunt. If the demons are really as powerful as the legend, three It shouldn’t be a problem to kill everyone on the side of the day within a month. In this way, as long as we have a banquet in the king’s capital comfortably, the civil war will automatically end, and I can just as well be King Reings. What do you think of such an excellent tactic?"
What do you think? He couldn't say a word at all. Although he knew that being an assistant to this person was a way of no return, the retribution also came too soon...
Being lamented in his heart, Gengoro still tried to make his last effort.
"Boss, you can't do things like this. Once the dimensional population of Alcatraz is lost, it will not only involve Reins, but the entire continent of the wind will be implicated. Do you want to become a human being? The sinner?"
"The person who doesn't even have dinner tonight, who cares what virtue he will be in the future?" Waving his hand, Lancelow said: "Since this is the common responsibility of all mankind, it is called Cao Shou Lao. Boy send troops to station at Alcatraz! Isn’t it too unfair to just let us take responsibility? I don’t want to do the work of the savior. Since it is the affairs of all mankind, all mankind should be held accountable, and if everyone only knows how to evade each other , Then let the humans of the Continent of Wind perish together!"
Said these words with a smile. Although he was drunk, Lancelow's smile was surprisingly calm in the sun.
Gengoro suddenly understood that Brother Yi is not a spoof, a whimsical spoof, he hasn't done much for more than ten days, I am afraid that he has already thought of this contingency measure in his heart.
It's neither majesty nor conviction. There is indeed an inexplicable aura in Tan Lancelot, which gradually overwhelms Gengoro, making him who can speak good words find it difficult to continue.
Although there is no clear answer, there seems to be something different about the boss?
Well, what has he been doing in these ten days? How could there be such a change?
Rao is Gengoro's calmness and wisdom, and he is totally unimaginable. If Sissi Corca Island were to withdraw from now on, what kind of situation would it turn into?
"Boss, you are really the demons among the demons..." I sighed like this, but saw that Xiaocao had lowered his head, writing an old book in the data book in his hand.
"What are you doing? Why don't you quickly persuade your husband."
"Drafting the military order for the mobilization of the five-color flag. If it is sent to Corca Island in West Corca as soon as possible today, it will be able to withdraw from Kaipai the day after tomorrow, and it should be able to reach the western border one step earlier than the Hua family army."
Said the grass, he raised his head and smiled charmingly at Lancelot, and said: "Husband, look, I'm very good!"
"Good job, you are a role model for giants."
Listening to this conversation, Gengoro knew that his common sense school had become a lone army again. He was about to look up to the sky and sigh three times. Suddenly there was a loud noise. The messy servants who were busy arranging the banquet venue suddenly scattered. Polished.
There is no one near the place where the three of them talked, but in the argument between Lancelow and Gengoro, some of the words are indeed too loud, and the topic discussed just now, even if it is just a few words, is heard in the ears of others. It's scary enough.
"Huh? What's the matter? Why are all the people running away?" Lancelow frowned, "It's not time for lunch yet, it's so unconscionable...the third child, why are you stinking again? Face?"
"It's nothing, you husband and wife are waiting for the headlines of today's evening paper!"
Rather than saying that Gengoro's expectations are extremely accurate, it is better to say that this is inevitable common sense. When a group of handymen crawled out of the ivory white tower, the news of the new monarch’s intention to withdraw troops from Alcatraz Island came out, only half an hour, the news blasted through the streets and alleys of Jixia, and then through various intelligence The net communicates outward.
Because they didn't hear it too clearly, everyone only knew that Lancelow was determined to withdraw troops from Alcatraz, but they didn't know why he wanted to withdraw. But no matter what the reason is, this matter is really no trivial matter, and the elders of the palace rushed to ask in an emergency meeting.
Grey hair and snow-white beard, these elders are also pale this time, their hands holding the poles kept shaking, making a crisp clash of cups and plates. They had to discuss with Lancelot for the farewell ceremony of Queen Liya, but now they have to deal with more serious problems.
The five-color flag stationed on the island of West Corca is the same as the Sorcerer’s Guild. It is directly under the orders of Queen Reins. It is not managed by them. When the five-color flag has recognized Lancelow’s kingship, it has the ability to mobilize They only have Lancelot, and as long as they give an order, the five-color flag will really be ordered to guard.
"Your Royal Highness, there are rumors outside that you are planning to withdraw to West Corca Island. Is this true?"
Lancelow felt very funny looking at the panic and fear of the big elders, and he used a new political term.
"Elders, regarding this matter, my answer is...no comment."
After finishing speaking, Lancelow walked out amidst laughter, leaving behind a commotion and panic.
For Lancelow, the most important thing right now is to make the banquet on December 2 lively. Isn’t it a shame for yourself if you don’t squander the funds you’ve been blackmailed?
In order to participate in Queen Leah’s farewell ceremony, guests came from all directions, and most of the seven major sects also sent envoys to participate, perhaps because they did not want to slander or offend the living. Envoys are not an important role. .
Lancelow automatically added a family of flowers to the list of imaginary enemies. Even if they knew that it was impossible to assassinate Lancelot, the Hua family would want to verify the mystery of Queen Liya's life and death. As for who the Hua family sent to enter the country, the Lancelow side is not clear about this. It’s not that it’s impossible to find out, but that there are too many suspicious characters, and it’s too much to find out. It's a role that can be solved easily, so there is no need to spend much effort.
In the end, only the commander of the Second Army of El Tienor and his team were truly heavyweight.
Originally, Zhou Gongjin was only here on behalf of Bailu Cave, but perhaps it was because Cao Shou was so dizzy when he played in Shangri-La, he left behind the grief of his death, and waited to remember, it was too late. Simply appointed Zhou Gongjin as the ambassador to mourn Reins on behalf of the emperor.
Compared with his important status, Gong Jin can be said to be quite light and simple. Apart from his confidant Jiang Zhong, only a dozen disciples of Bailudong accompanied him.
Of course, a discerning person knows that true strength will not be so easy to show on the surface.
Although Lancelow was outrageous, but at the farewell ceremony, the Queen's coffin will always be displayed in front of everyone. She was concerned that this was one of the enemy's main goals, and the work of security was really heavy.
Assigning the work well, Gengoro is confident that he should be able to make the enemies on all sides look down on his head, and he can't take advantage of it. However, Xiaocao asked separately at this time, hoping to come to the enemy the day before the arrival of the enemy. .
The method is simple, and Gengoro has long been accustomed to doing: to speak on stage.
Only this time, the content of the speech was absolutely sensational, and the shock was enough to paralyze the entire mainland of the wind intelligence network.
The legendary Lu You’s first disciple finally appeared and gave a speech under Ji. He believed that Lancelow, the new master of Reins chosen by the queen, was the talent of the peerless king, and he would do his best to assist him. Sri Lanka, create a world-class industry.
This speech is like dropping a big bomb at Jixia Academy. The already high-profile Gengoro, now with the identity of Lu You’s first disciple, is like a saint. There are many court sects. The old man almost used the attitude of worship and respected him.
But everyone also knows that Bailudong’s position is always to support Eltinol, and now the first Lu You who suddenly appeared, said that he would swear allegiance to His Majesty Lancelow, who is known as the number one faction today. Bailu Cave, what choice will it make?
At the end of the speech, Xiaocao almost stared at Gengoro. The meaning is simple: I hope that you support Lancelow as the descendant of the Three Sages, but you don't want you to speak as the descendant of Lu You, a treacherous fellow!
"Mankind's words are too bad, do you really think someone will believe you?"
Faced with Xiaocao’s dissatisfaction, Gengoro’s answer was simple, “It doesn’t matter if you believe it or not. As long as my great mentor Lu You can’t come forward, no one can say that I’m not Lu You’s first apprentice.”
In the speech, some people questioned the identity of Lu You’s first apprentice, but Gengoro used the power of heaven to continuously display half of the 36 unique skills in Bailudong, shocking the audience. After that, he stayed unrestrainedly. One sentence: "I am a big disciple of my teacher, and my status is higher than that of you. Apart from my teacher, no one is qualified to deny my identity."
Many people think that this is a speculative statement that Lu You cannot come forward while he is in retreat, but Gengoro is absolutely sure of this. Lu You, the "Moon Sage", will not deny this statement of his own.
The current spokesperson representing Bailudong must also know this, because two stern eyes like ice crystals are coming across the metal mask that shines with cold light.
With a slight smile, Gengoro exchanged his gaze with the opponent fearlessly.
In such a dark and turbulent atmosphere, Queen Reinslea’s farewell ceremony officially began.
