Chapter 1747 Banquet in the Storm Country
In the evening, everyone in Baishuang Shangcheng had dinner. The soldiers lined up to go to the canteen to receive food. The condition of the officers was not much better. Soybean soup, vegetables, pickled meat and two flatbreads are the dinner after a busy day. Even though the food was terrible, everyone still ate cleanly. The consumption in one day was too great. Even though there was no fighting or moving materials, the full vigilance still took a huge amount of physical energy.
Soldiers need to take turns to change their posts. After meals, the off-duty soldiers gather together in twos and threes and return to the conquered houses to smoke and play cards to pass the time. Of course, they will fall asleep from exhaustion before long.
Ben has been collecting potentially valuable intelligence in the city to a limited extent. She cannot directly contact soldiers and officers to obtain information, otherwise her non-local accent will reveal her identity. She couldn't pretend to be someone else and walk around the city wearing their military uniform and armor. Maybe an officer would call her to work and ask her which army she was from. She won't do anything too risky, because what she is doing now is already very risky, so she has to be more careful.
Now the streets are full of people. Patrolling soldiers are patrolling one after another, and the precautions are very tight. This is to prevent internal problems. A strong fortress can be breached from within.
Since she couldn't move freely, she decided to find a place to rest and come out later in the night. She pretended to be disabled, wore the enemy's military uniform and walked to a dark place with few people.
This is a residential area in the city. There are seven or eight rows of three-story buildings here. This kind of residential area seems a bit shabby in the area where high-ranking officials and nobles gather in Baishuang Upper City. It should be a place where ordinary residents of the city or soldiers and lower-level officials live. It is easy to find a place to rest in such a place.
Sure enough, as soon as I arrived here, I saw a sneaky middle-aged man carrying a large bag of things coming out of the house, meeting up with others and slipping towards the end of the street. Such guys are either thieves who are taking advantage of the chaos to make a fortune, or they are soldiers and officers who want to leave this dangerous city. She walked straight towards the house. There was no magic circle at the door, and the door was not even locked. She opened the door with a slight push...
At the same time, another place south of Midgart In another country, in another place, another group of people are also enjoying a sumptuous dinner.
This is the royal palace of the Storm Kingdom, a magnificent palace decorated with a dazzling array of gems and works of art. In the palace where we dine, there are not many officials, but they are all the country's leading bureaucrats. The beautiful palace dancers and singers played and performed moving dances and music one after another. Their frivolous clothes made everyone present mesmerized.
This was a singing and dancing banquet for two guests who had arrived from afar. The Lord of the Storm Kingdom sat high on a separate chair at the end of the banquet hall, with beautiful maids serving him on both sides. When I wanted to drink, a woman held a gold cup studded with precious stones to her mouth with her slender hands. When I wanted to eat fruit, another beautiful woman peeled it and handed it to her. But the Lord of the Storm Kingdom's eyes were never around these beautiful women. As he looked at the singing and dancing party, the corner of his eye kept falling on the two guests.
"Two foreign envoys, are you satisfied with the food? Are you satisfied with the singing and dancing?" The Lord of the Storm Kingdom's kind and graceful smile, just like his kind and graceful body, does not intimidate people, but is revealed everywhere. kind.
The two royal envoys sent by Fried smiled and nodded: "We are flattered by the hospitality of the Lord of the Storm Kingdom. Not only did he prepare so many delicacies, but he also invited so many officials and ministers to join us. . We have deeply felt your country’s goodwill.”
The leader of the Storm Kingdom slowly smiled: “Our Storm Kingdom has been established for more than ten thousand years and has a long history. The most important thing is etiquette. .two A foreign envoy came thousands of miles away just to submit a peace agreement with our country and avoid the disaster of war. How can I, as the Lord of the Storm Kingdom, entertain two guests who come with kindness? "
The two envoys nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "It's great if the king thinks so. The Hill Country has signed a peace agreement with us, and there will be good news from the Rhine Kingdom soon. Lord, we Why don’t we just sign the agreement tonight?”
"Hehehe..." The Lord of the Storm Kingdom smiled and said, "No rush, it's a dinner for two distinguished guests now, we won't talk about business."
The two envoys had no choice but to continue under the service of the beautiful women. Enjoy the dance.
When the banquet was about to end, an official came and said a few words in the ear of the Lord of the Storm Kingdom. The Lord of the Storm Kingdom waved him down and asked the two envoys: "Did the two guests enjoy the banquet today?" ? If you are dissatisfied with anything, please tell me directly. Storm Country will not let any friendly guest feel that we have neglected him."
The envoy repeatedly said that he was very satisfied.
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom chuckled: "Since we are satisfied, let's get down to business now."
"Okay." The envoy said: "Sign the important agreement as soon as possible, so that we can have more fun in your country."
The leader of the Storm Kingdom said: "You said you came to deliver peace, but I But I don’t know who the other party to the agreement is. The final signature cannot be the word ‘pirate’, right?”
The envoy said: “We are just here to negotiate. When the agreement is officially signed, the country will The Lord will naturally know and deliver it to you Who wants to make peace?"
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom shook his head: "This is so insincere. You can't buy real peace by being sneaky, and you can't get it by people who don't even want to reveal your true identity. Valuable trust."
The two envoys hesitated, discussed in a low voice, and then raised their heads and said: "The one who wants to make peace with the Storm Kingdom is the 'Creation Kingship', and this is our identity."
"Oh, then who is your leader?"
"At that time, Marshal Kea Fried will come in person to sign an agreement with the king and the monarch of the Rhine." The messenger said: "Marshal's name The king must have heard of him. I wonder if he is satisfied with his status and weight?”
“Of course my little Storm Kingdom has also heard of Kia Freed. Was at St. Picasso's position, right We, the Storm Country, will never take it lightly. He came to sign an agreement with us, the Storm Country, and it is of sufficient weight."
The two envoys looked at each other and smiled, and then said: "The terms of the agreement are in the daytime. We have already conveyed it to the King. If there is nothing to add, can we finalize this matter? "
"'Creation Kingship'?" The King of Storm Ruosi nodded and ignored it. them. After a while, he watched the two envoys smile and clapped their hands. The singers and dancers dancing in the banquet hall quickly retreated. A group of soldiers rushed in with guns and swords, surrounding the two royal envoys. .
The two envoys were startled and asked: "Master, what do you mean by this?" "It doesn't mean anything. I'll send you on your way."
"Wait a minute!" The messenger stopped the soldiers who were about to take action and asked the king: "Lord of the Storm Kingdom, we came to exchange for peace and to end the War, why are you doing this? "
"End the war? No, no, no, you brought the war. You brought the war, and you said it would end the war. Don't you think this agreement is too hypocritical? Are you ready?" The Lord of the Storm Kingdom leaned against the high back chair and placed his hands on the cold and smooth armrests. Every word he spoke was calm, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him. The matter definitely had nothing to do with him, because the person waiting to be killed was not him, he was just a spectator.
The envoy said angrily: "Our war will only end at Midgart. Zhengguo did not want to expand the war between the Storm Kingdom and the Rhine Kingdom, so he sent us to negotiate. Lord of the Storm Kingdom, please don't I misunderstood the meaning. Talking about peace is not because we don’t have the ability to fight, but because we have the ability to negotiate. If you make a wrong decision, you will regret it.”
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom looked at them and said: "Are you warning the Storm Kingdom or threatening the Storm Kingdom? I might as well tell you something. The envoy you sent to the Rhine Kingdom has been killed, and the person who proposed to kill the envoy is the Lord of the Country. Me." The Lord of the Storm Kingdom's smile was still so kind, making people feel close to him. But in the eyes of the two envoys, this smile sent chills down their backs.
"You...you...why?" The two envoys were shocked and frightened, not knowing what the seemingly kind-hearted king was thinking in his heart.
"You are about to die, do you still need a reason?" said the leader of the Storm Kingdom: "Then I will give you a reason. Although the Storm Kingdom, the Rhine Kingdom and the Midgard Kingdom have always been There was a war, but that was our family's own business. Speaking of Midgard The Queen is my little sister by blood, and the King of Rhine is Midgard's nephew. Why am I standing by and applauding the two envoys when I see a group of pirates coming to invade my relatives' land? Is the reason enough? If not, I can make up another one. Or two, three, four, or five, until you are satisfied.”
The two envoys looked at the man with a crown on his head, a gray beard, and a square face, and then at the undisturbed banquet. With so much food in front of him, he didn’t know what to say for a moment: “Then you…you The purpose of hosting today’s dinner party is...”
The leader of the Storm Kingdom chuckled and said: “I said, the Storm Kingdom pays the most attention to hospitality to guests. You have come from afar. As the leader of the country, of course I must do my best. Now that I have exhausted all my intentions, it is of course time to kill you.”
"Wait a minute!" an envoy shouted: "If the two sides are fighting, they will not kill the envoy. We are here as envoys. Even if the king does not agree to peacefully coexist with the 'Creation King Power', he can just let us go back. That shouldn't be the case." Kill both of us."
The Lord of the Storm thought for a while: "What you said makes sense. The two sides really shouldn't kill the envoys when they are fighting. Killing you will not be of any use to the war."
< br>The two envoys were slightly relieved.
Unexpectedly, the leader of the Storm Kingdom changed his tone: "But I don't want to be reasonable. Your army marched from the west coast to Midgart and was not reasonable. Reasons are expressed in terms of strength. Do you want to be reasonable?" The reason for not killing the envoys is based on strength! "
With the word "do it", the surrounding soldiers swung their swords at the two envoys. These two people could be sent as envoys, so they naturally had some strength. Seeing that the other party insisted on their own lives, they both tried their best to fight to the death. Two guardian monsters broke out of the light formation, and the banquet hall that had been filled with beautiful songs and dances suddenly turned into a fighting arena.
"Oh, these two people are not weak." The leader of the Storm Kingdom commented above.
The two envoys were injured, but their will to survive allowed them to show their power and actually forced more than 20 guards to close. But for now, they can still protect themselves, but it is impossible to escape from the heavy guards at the door. One person's thoughts changed and he stared at the Lord of the Storm Kingdom, "Capture the Lord of the Kingdom!"
The companions next to him understood, and the two immediately rushed towards the Lord of the Storm Kingdom, using magic and a short blade in the blink of an eye. They were about to force themselves in front of the lord of the country, but at this moment, a large silver-black armor stood in front of them. The magic hit the armor without pain or itching, and the short sword was blocked by a wide iron hand without even getting close.
“Die!” A man wearing heavy armor whose face could not be seen clearly made a move very quickly. He grabbed the two envoys with two big hands like chickens, and his head was bumped, and his brain was suddenly full. The ground splashed all over him. The body lay limp on the ground.
Look at the two ferocious monsters. After losing their masters, they became even more crazy. However, under the swords and axes of the soldiers, they only resisted in vain, and were finally chopped into a puddle of flesh.
The Lord of the Storm Kingdom looked at the two dead bodies and the white and red brains on the ground, showing disgust: "It's so unpleasant that a good banquet has turned into this. Clean it up, I don't want to smell a fishy smell tomorrow. "
The maids on both sides had already turned pale with fright. This was the first time they had seen such a thing, and their bodies were shaking like chaff. At the scene, an official wearing a colorful swallow-tailed robe and a top hat came out, bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, you can go and have a rest. You can leave this place to your ministers and the Deputy Majesty."
"Fuge, I'll leave it to you." The Lord of the Storm Kingdom raised his arms and left the banquet hall with the support of the maids.
