Chapter 994 225. Martin’s Daily Life
The Minister of Military Affairs lowered himself very low, humbly almost kissing Annan’s boots.
Annan smiled and said: "You don't have to be like this... You are indispensable for the development of the Freedom Blade in the New King's City, and we will remember your contribution."
"You really didn't I got it wrong..." The Minister of Military Affairs was moved and said with emotion: "The last time I had contact with the Reeves family was more than 20 years ago."
In the past, Annan would only escape, but now. Then bring these curiosity: "Do you know my...father?"
"I just met him once from a distance when I was young..." The Minister of Military Affairs nodded and shook his head.
At that time, he was just a nobody, thinking that the King of the North was a great big shot... But now it seems that they are already a mess.
But the Minister of Military Affairs would not say that. He lowered his head and said: "You came at the right time. The new king has just finished the review and arrested a group of people."
"Ours People?" Annan frowned.
The Minister of Military Affairs shook his head: "I intervened, and most of the people arrested were people loyal to the kingdom."
From the perspective of the Kingdom, the Military Minister is an out-and-out sinner, but from the perspective of the Free City, he is just fine.
"Pay attention to safety."
"Don't worry, by the way, I have arranged for the special envoy you brought to join the army."
"The special envoy I brought... ...Oh, you mean Maria?" Annan looked at Maria next to him.
The Minister of Military Affairs raised his head in confusion: "Maria? Isn't it Mr. Martin?"
"Who"
The Minister of Military Affairs was slightly stunned: "Didn't you ask Special Envoy Martin to serve in the army...?"
"Martin what?"
Annan and the Minister of Military Affairs looked at each other. .
Annan said hesitantly: "I didn't understand a bit...are the Martin you mentioned and the Martin I mentioned the same person?"
"If you are talking about the guy who came with you..."
What the Minister of Military Affairs was thinking was, what did he misunderstand? What Annan was thinking was, damn Martin sneaked out again? !
How could this guy... Oh, it's okay, Martin has been trying to sneak out.
Annan thought that Martin would be more mature after having a "son", but he didn't expect that he would still be the same as before.
"What a nonsense..."
Annan, who didn't even panic when he knew that the kingdom was searching for the Freedom Blade, became uneasy at this moment.
The war with the kingdom is not a joke. Even though Annan is taking photos of magic and coming here in person, he is just sparing no effort to attack the kingdom from all angles. It does not mean that the kingdom is not in danger...
"Where is he? Take me there..."
Annan sighed helplessly.
His first meeting with the most senior official he had ever corrupted... was ruined by Martin.
The blond Annan could not be recognized, but the military minister in disguise needed an excuse.
He returned to the official residence and soon came to the city guard barracks in the name of inspection. Annan disguised himself as one of his guards.
They walked around the military camp and found Martin at the guard post.
The city guard officer who arranged for him to come was a member of the Free Blade. He did not recognize Annan, let alone who Martin was. He replied businesslikely: "My lord, he said he wanted to stay on the front line. So we arranged for him to be the sentinel.”
“I understand, please step back first.”
"Yes!"
After the city guard officer left, Annan looked up at Martin on the guard tower: "Come down!"
"I don't!" Martin, who was holding a bow and arrow, refused.
"Go back to Liberty City." "I won't!"
Annan was about to summon Lemon to pull him down from the sentry tower, when Martin stuck his head out: "Cousin, I also want to defend Liberty City. You don't want your family to be protected in the city, so you can't do anything, right?"
“Who taught you?”
“Evelin.” Martin answered honestly, “She also said that she would threaten you if you don’t agree.”
The original one The shy girl with freckles who always blushes has turned bad now.
“What about your wife and son?”
"I'll leave it to Aunt Susan to take care of!"
"Aunt Susan agreed?"
"No!"
"Okay..."
Not many people know Martin's identity, and with his wisdom... even if the matter is exposed, people will only think that he paid the officer to get this position instead of knowing Annan.
"Don't worry, I will send someone to protect him." said the Minister of Military Affairs.
"That's not it...forget it, let me think about how to explain it to Aunt Susan."
Originally, Annan rushing to the new king alone was a heroic and praiseworthy act... but Because Martin followed him secretly, it became like a family dispute...
They returned to the military camp, and the military minister called the city guard: "Martin is my nephew, protect him."
"Yes, my lord." The city guard replied, and then said something out of nowhere: "No wonder you look so much like him."
Annan looked at the military minister and suppressed a smile.
Following the Minister of Military Affairs back to the official residence, Renaldo asked humbly: "Sir Annan, do you want to hold a banquet?"
"Is this too ostentatious?"
< br>"Letting them know that you are coming will help boost morale." said the military minister, "and the greater our movement, the less suspicious the palace will be of us."
"They would never have imagined that there are five people in the parliament. One-third are our people.”
"Then do as you say."
"Okay, one more thing. When I won over those nobles, I promised..."
The Minister of Military Affairs told him about forging letters of recommendation. To Annan.
He could hide this kind of thing from the messenger, but he couldn't hide it from Annan. Frankness is the best way to avoid misunderstandings.
“So you don’t have to pay special attention to them, just take advantage of them.”
"That will do too much damage to your reputation..." Annan shook his head.
Annan was touched that the Minister of Military Affairs thought so, but he felt that someone had to do the dirty work, why couldn't it be him? You can also wash away your own crimes and stains.
"No, I can fulfill your promise. As long as they stand on our side, after everything is over, I promise to retain their wealth and status." Annan insisted.
The Minister of Military Affairs was touched by Annan, stared at him deeply, and lowered his head: "Your kindness is unparalleled in Allen."
......
While the military minister summoned the nobles of the new royal city to hold a banquet, somewhere in the inner city of the royal capital, members of the "Purification Court" were preparing to conduct a special operation.
No matter how much the new king promotes the quiet times, it is an indisputable fact that the Liberty Blade and the main army of Liberty City, which are surrounded from three directions, are getting closer and closer to them.
There is an undercurrent surging in the new royal capital, and many nobles are thinking of selling off their property and fleeing the royal city, or seeking refuge in the Free City. Therefore, the palace secretly established a purification court to deal with traitors.
They have received news that Taiyi, the quartermaster of the City Guards, is an important backbone of the Freedom Blade and has a lot of information about other members of the Freedom Blade.
In order not to alert the enemy, they prepared the password and prepared to raid the city guard barracks tonight and seize Quartermaster Tai Yi and his minions.
