Chapter 562

[When will you realize that the height of your father ’s wrists has nothing to do with the result of his unwillingness? 】

The sharp voice of deja vu rang in memory.

[And not only him, but countless people, whether they are on the side of the king like the royal party, or on the opposite side of him like Ghost, their growing conflicts will have unpredictable consequences. 】

Teres sat quietly in his seat, staring at the map in front of him, trying to get the ghost prince on the tower, and Falkenhouse said what he said.

Is this the kingdom he has to face?

At this moment, all the princes of Yuqian were cautious.

"You know, Thordo, don't say it will work."

At the meeting table, Prime Minister Coulomb looked like an elderly man who was seriously ill, and his voice was weak:

"Just if your words leaked out today, will there be any waves in the kingdom?"

The military adviser snorted and shook his head.

He was just about to speak, but was interrupted by the foreign minister on the side.

"It's one thing for us to be frugal and to support the royal standing army with our own profits and losses," Gilbert is still mild, but the warning is overwhelming:

"As for the whole country, to reduce the power of the lords to recruit armed forces?"

"Suo Duo, this is another matter."

Thoreau frowned, seemingly disapproving.

But out of long-term respect and admiration for the Cunning Fox, he did not immediately refute.

Seeing someone help, Prime Minister Coulen gave a grateful look to the Foreign Secretary.

"Take Yongxing City as an example: the royal standing army and the Canxing private soldiers, one of which will serve as the post, and the other will apply for the service period."

The Prime Minister nodded toward the backlit shadow on the throne:

"Although the sources are different, they are all tools of His Majesty."

This well-known lord of Huigang City, nicknamed "The Sword of the Bay", looked back at Thordow. His eyes were no longer full of greasy goodies.

"It's the same everywhere in the stars: the lord holds the rare but professional elite guards on weekdays, and if necessary, calls the majority of servants to serve as the main battlefield."

"One odd and one positive, cooperate with the fight. One recruits one battle, two tracks in parallel."

"This is an example of the kingdom, a tradition of years."

Treasurer Joker Man snorted slightly, Viscount Connie narrowed his eyes, and Lord Crappen simply continued to be distracted.

"But it is this kind of recruitment dual-track system that seriously drags down our army!"

Shuduo, who has thin hair but still looks stubborn, does not care about the eyes of others, and rebuts aloud:

"Reality has proved that the private conscription of the lords, even the private soldiers of the Canxing family-unintentionally offended, Your Majesty-is also poorly organized and uneven, not to mention comparable to the elite royal standing army."

King Kessel changed his sitting position in the shadows, his face blurred as before.

Tells' eyes moved slightly, and he remembered that the guardian Mindys Hall, which had been closed for many years, was the Canton private soldier recruited from his family's territory.

"So he can't be a Jazz ..."

The opposite Joker Man shook his head in disdain to Thordor and raised his hand to the Prime Minister to complain:

"Every time the atmosphere is good, this **** soldier has to get things out, make a bad appearance, and mess up everything."

Advisor Tudor suddenly turned back, his eyes sharp.

"And every time at a critical moment, you are on the side of a yin and yang, bitter and harsh, covering the purse tighter than your own fart."

He is like a general on the battlefield, fighting back coldly:

"That's probably why you can't seal Jue, the money bag."

Juke Man looked red.

But a few seconds later, in the face of the sharp-eyed Thoreau, the sullen treasurer still lowered his head.

Mouth chopping up with inaudible words.

Tells heard in the senses of **** that Qiu Ke's nagging might be "speaking like you don't have to shit."

Ci Feng Xiaosheng, Thoreau no longer looked at Qiu Ke, but turned to everyone:

"Since the establishment of the" Sand King "era, the Royal Standing Army has been developed and tested for decades. It has been proved to be a stable and reliable professional soldier. From recruitment to training, from maintenance to combat, its significance is far beyond ordinary. The lord of the guard. "

He spoke generously:

"Take the three Davids as an example: Baron Mu's Rage Guard is a strong army in the world who is good at fighting hard battles. He is bloodless and fearless. He is not inferior to Exeter's elite."

"Lord Sutherley's Star Guard guards the Dragon Fortress, has a heavy responsibility, and is experienced. You are good at defending, consuming, and blocking against strong pressure."

"Baron Williams' Stardust Guard is a sharp knife and arrow on the western front, riding like a horse and flying a thousand miles, which is very famous."

Tells recalled the three stars of the stars and their elite soldiers, thoughtfully.

Thoreau turned to the Duke of Columbine, with a somewhat challenging taste:

"All of these, the private soldiers who are part of the conscript may possibly do it?"

"Even if they are professional pro soldiers of a few lords-Xihuang's Black Lion Infantry Regiment, Allende's White Eagle Scouts, Mountain Horn Walkers of the Great Horned Deer Family, they may do it?

The king's figure moved slightly, exposing the sunlight behind him, which just happened to shine on Thoreau.

It seems that the military adviser at the moment is upright and impressive.

Duke Cullen was silent for a while.

After a moment, the Prime Minister took the tea cup at hand and took a sip:

"When it comes to fighting, Thordo, I'm not as good as you."

"But armed self-defense is the natural right of the lords, and it is also their traditional duty to help the lords of the war. It is the normal state that everyone has been ear-sucked since birth."

"From the central leader to the blade leader, the conscripts under the stars of the Thousand and Hundred Lords occupy 90% of the total strength of the kingdom. And the command and command duties of their children are more related to the rise and fall of counties and the local law.

Cullen looked at Thoreau seriously:

"Territory population, fiscal and taxation output, one party governance, all in it."

"Negligible."

However, he did not get the response he wanted.

"Ninety percent of the total strength of the kingdom?"

Thoreau hummed softly:

"It was at the conference six years ago that you and the loyal lords, the hundreds of people who worked hard together?"

Facing Thoreau's ruthless gaze, Prime Minister Coulomb slightly raised his hand with a tea cup.

"Suo Duo, we are at the imperial meeting," Gilbert said in time, warning with words, calming the bad atmosphere a bit:

"Pay attention to size."

Facing the Foreign Minister, Thoreau converged to the end of the battle and calmly said:

"Sorry, Count Casso."

The military adviser turned to others with a firm look:

"Your Majesty, Masters!"

"His Royal Highness has returned to his country, and the" Fortress Peace Treaty "has survived. There is no longer any room for political buffer between us and Exeter!"

Tells frowned.

Gilbert promptly gave him a soothing look, indicating that he should not be nervous.

"And the Hall of Stars six years ago, the embarrassment of the princes to discuss the number of troops sent, is still vivid."

Thoreau didn't go to see the Prime Minister, but he couldn't control everyone else's gaze to the Duke of Coulomb.

The latter just rocked the teacup gently, seemingly unconscious.

"That's why I tirelessly moved the detailed report to the Ballard room."

The military advisor's face was painful:

"The Kingdom of Stars can't stand the next Scarlet Year."

Suddenly, it seemed that someone had suddenly turned off the Ballard room.

He didn't even hear the breath.

Tabletops, palms, documents, teacups-all bureaucrats seemed to find something more interesting, but no one dared look at the throne at the end of the long table.

Taylors took a deep breath and glimpsed in Yu Guang:

King Kessel remained indifferent, and was not surprised, as if he was just an observer of the meeting in front of him.

It was just a bystander of that disaster more than ten years ago.

"Enough, don't be alarmist!"

A few seconds later, the long-time financial director, Juke Man finally could not help but say:

"The Earl of Cassow only made it very clear: Externa is constantly consuming and is declining!"

Thoreau looked cold and answered quickly:

"The balance is no longer, the pattern is turbulent!"

"We need a strong army more than ever!"

Qiu Ke was disdainful, so she sneered, but her face changed before she spoke.

"Ah, Thordo, I get it."

The Treasurer has fun and authentic:

"You are so passionate about this, is it because you are about to retire ..."

"So I want to help myself in the end, so that those mud-legged big-headed soldiers in your standing army, including the little vampires in the military department, can move their buttocks to make an exception, be promoted to a knighthood, and occupy a high position?

Juke Man narrowed his eyes:

"Like you now?"

Thoreau's face changed.

"In the eyes of a businessman who knows everything," he turned his head angrily, very angry, but not as grand and generous as before:

"Even the sun has a copper smell."

Juke Man sneered:

"Copper smell?"

"Says so many messes," the Treasurer clapped his desk, gritted his teeth and pointed straight at Shuduo, imposingly:

"Don't you just want to get money from the treasury?"

"The setting sun is on, and after Williams has made the mess of Xihuang, I also hope that your military affairs department will stop!"

Thoreau took a deep breath, seeming to have a seizure, but eventually he refrained under Gilbert's eyes.

Tells watched the quarrel between the two, watching the attitude of several people, and slowly realized the rhythm of the Yuqian meeting.

"It was what happened in Xihuang that strengthened my determination."

The military adviser's voice trembles, apparently with great perseverance and enduring anger:

"The conscripted militia who volunteered for service is self-evident. Most of them face the slack of discipline, the embarrassment of inefficient organization, and the embarrassing position on the battlefield.

"Although the standing professional soldiers are few in number and good at fighting, if they only listen to the individual lords who are commanded, they are very prone to the hidden danger of internal command when cooperating with the battle, and the harm is even more serious."

"It's like the chaos in the Sabertooth Camp, and Exeter's defeat."

Thoreau's right way:

"We thought that recruiting the two systems in parallel would benefit from both, but in fact it would suffer from both disadvantages!"

"Whether for war or for politics, no matter whether it is a standing army or a conscription, reform is imminent."

His remarks were well justified. Without the previous enthusiasm and arrogance, even Qiu Ke, who saw Thoreau's discomfort, was unable to refute.

But surprisingly, it was Gilbert who spoke this time.

"Around the Yongxing City, the expansion of the standing army of the royal family is irrelevant," the Foreign Secretary said bitterly:

"But Lord Thordor, in the eyes of more people, intervenes in the autonomy of local vassals, especially restricting armed recruitment, which will be understood as the persecution of freedom by the king."

Perhaps it was unexpected that the old friend had not supported himself. Sodow groaned this time without giving Gilbert a face:

"Don't we give up in silence, don't they understand it that way?"

Gilbert looked sad.

"Look at last night," the military adviser said coldly:

"An accident at a royal banquet."

"No matter who they are, they dare to reach out to the heirs of the kingdom, and we must respond!"

Tells didn't move, pretending not to see everyone's eyes.

But in his mind, what Duke Xihuang said was getting louder:

[But did you find it? Compared to six years ago ... both the father and the current princes, the movements of both sides are too intense ...]

[And ironically, do they really think that through such a so-called victory, they can erase their ambitions and hostility? 】

Thoreau's words sounded in reality, and they were mutually intelligible with Falkenhaus's words:

"Even if we are planning for our children and grandchildren, sooner or later, we will dissolve those seemingly large-scale styles, in fact, the corpse meal, and the so-called local conscription recruits at the critical moment are more deadly!"

Tells closed his eyes gently.

[No, they will only make each other worse and worse, until the final step ... either now or later. 】

Thoreau looked around the audience and gritted his teeth:

"Those antiques that are bound to be eliminated."

On the other side, Qiu Ke finally got tired of arguing with him and looked impatient:

"Then tell them!"

The Treasurer patted the table mercilessly, causing Gilbert and others to frown:

"Sir Kulun is sitting here, you tell him in person, tell Canxing Seven Aides, the Six Giants, the Thirteen Wang Clan and countless lords, tell them that the Kingdom will abolish their conscription system and release their conscription power ! "

"Nephews and nephews do n’t have to take martial arts classes anymore. They do n’t need to train knights according to tradition. Everyone concentrates on farming and does n’t need to be a soldier. Then all the money and taxes that were originally used for conscription are handed over to the Tax and Taxation Department. standing army?"

Thordor seems to have been used to talking with Qiu Ke at the Yuqian meeting:

"I don't think you understand the basic cause and effect relationship, the money bag."

The military adviser replied coldly:

"It's not because they paid enough taxes that we can afford a standing army."

"And precisely because we have a standing army, they will pay enough taxes!"

When this remark came out, maybe it was something that was broken, and many people looked weird.

The Duke of Columbine, cited by Joko as an example, is even more so.

"Ha, ha, ha!"

The treasurer laughed sarcastically three times, and said indignantly:

"You know, thanks to you, soldiers, when the outsiders are filled with righteous indignation, 'Oh, the gangsters who hold the king's party, and blind the king in the small black house, and persecute Zhongliang', I think: maybe we are not so innocent . "

"Then maybe innocent you, and the gang of accountants under you, should join the" loyalty "camp." The military director sneered.

Tells scratched his head:

He suddenly discovered that the star-less meeting of the stars is not necessarily more clear and simple than the conference of the large-scale country, and the rough and bold listening days of Longxiao City.

"Be careful, Thoreau."

Prime Minister Cullen sighed, and before Qiu Ke found a new word to fight back, he reluctantly interrupted their quarrel:

"Some words say ..."

"There is a price."

Thoreau turned his murderous gaze away from Qiu Ke, and responded to Cullen:

"So are you saying this as the Prime Minister, or as the Duke of the East China Sea Guardian?"

The words fell, and Prime Minister Coolon looked ugly.

"Suo Duo!"

Gilbert severely interrupted the aggressive old friend:

"enough!"

The Minister of Foreign Affairs obviously had a lot of weight in Yuqian, and his words prevented the quarrel of his colleagues in time, so as not to become a corner of the market.

The meeting room was quiet for a while.

After a few seconds, Coulomb let out a sigh of relief.

"I never thought I would say this here, but please understand, Master Advisor ..."

The belly-stricken Lord Huigang leaned on the table and looked sincerely:

"At the Imperial Conference, I was also the Prime Minister and Guardian Duke of the Kingdom ..."

"At this moment, this is far more important to the kingdom of stars than I am one of them."

This was said by the court officials, including Shuo Duo, and all were startled.

Even Thales couldn't help raising his head, looking at the duke who was a very old fritter.

"Despite your humble origins, now you are also in an important position, Master Thordor Reid," said the Prime Minister of the Kingdom, Bob Cullen, looking directly at Thordor

"Should have understood this better than anyone."

Thoreau was silent for a while.

After a few seconds, he unexpectedly bowed to Duke Cullen:

"My fault, Lord Prime Minister."

"I understand your difficulty."

This made Thales feel a lot better about him.

Finally, a voice that could not help but sounded in the Ballard room.

"What Bob said is not without reason."

Everyone looked together, looking towards the end of the long table.

I saw that King Kessel raised his head and showed his face in the light, which was quite cool:

"It is not wise to rashly intervene in the vassals' armed rights."

"Rumba is a lesson."

As soon as this remark came out, it seemed to set the tone for Fang Cai's argument.

Prime Minister Cullen exhaled with relief:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

As if there was a tacit understanding, the officials were relieved.

"Ok."

"Since you say so," Thoreau didn't hesitate and looked reluctantly, but he still served Judo:

"I withdraw my proposal to reduce the national conscription."

Prime Minister Cullen curled his lips and turned back to the smiling Duke of Donghai:

"Thank you for your understanding."

The Treasurer also leaned on the back of the chair.

"Thank God."

Gilbert pursed his lips and smiled at his colleagues.

At that moment, Thales looked at the king at the end of the long table and suddenly realized:

Yuqian meeting is still different.

At the very least, at the National Conference, King Kessel could not overwhelm the six giants and the thirteen clan.

And in the political day, even in the face of his vassals, the female Grand Duke must be careful.

Only here, in the Ballard room, no matter how loud the bureaucrats are ...

The Iron Fist King always sits at the end of the long table.

"But Your Majesty," Thoreau interrupted Thales' thoughts:

"You pilot in Yongxing City first, lead by example, and reduce the regular service of Canxing private soldiers, can you still do it?"

Everyone was shocked.

Instead, Kessel thought for a few seconds and said slowly:

"If it doesn't involve other areas ..."

"Maybe there won't be much opposition."

The military advisor shined:

"well."

"And we can select top leaders in the disbanded Canxing private soldiers to expand the Royal Standing Army ..."

The king pondered for a while.

A few seconds later, King Kessel spoke again, with an indisputable taste:

"Okay, Thordeau, Joker, Crappen, you agree on the details."

"Let's start with Canxing Private Soldiers, and begin to reduce the conscription period and carefully supplement the Royal Standing Army."

"Look at the effect."

Except for Qiu Ke's complexion, everyone else in the room hesitated, but he didn't intervene.

The military adviser was happy:

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The next second, Juke Man hurriedly uttered!

"Wait-you wait a moment!"

The financial manager, who was originally relieved, flew forward from the back of the chair, pointing at the Tudor incredulously:

"Expansion-how come back again?"

The military adviser's eyebrows moved slightly and did not speak.

The treasurer looked at the king, and then to Thoreau, his face changed.

"I get it, soldier, you did it on purpose!"

He was shocked:

"Whatever cuts the strength of the princes is a guise-you have made up your mind from the beginning, asking for prices all over the world and paying back the money!"

Qiu Ke pointed at Shuduo incredulously, his fingers shaking constantly:

"It's still to expand the army for money!"

Thoreau got what he wanted, and his face was calm:

"I have given in, my majesty has agreed, and no one else has any opinions,"

Qiu Ke looked around, and was surprised to find that Cullen's expression was quiet, and Gilbert said nothing-no one opposed it just like:

"Are you sure I am so bully!"

Thoreau snorted:

"After the expansion is completed, the Military Department will hand you a new list of personnel salaries and material purchases."

"Money bag."

This time it was Joker Man frypot.

"Dog Day's 'Big Soldier'!"

The Treasurer put on a fierce expression of dogs feeding, and said one word:

"I will tell you with compassion again-like the countless times I said on countless occasions last year-the maintenance cost of the Royal Standing Army has been strict, heavy, super, and expensive!"

"I strongly recommend that you take a good look at the financial statements of the previous year. If your brain is not enough, at least look at the previous season!"

"If after that, you still insist on expanding the standing army, then I suggest that you look for the source of wealth-by the way, Hongfang Street is popular in the business of rich ladies, and you have these strong six-pack abdominal soldiers They are all hotspots! "

Solon frowned slightly:

"How do you know?"

Lord Juke Man blushed old and coughed:

"Manage finances, coordinate taxation, and formulate economic policies. Naturally, you must be proficient in that, that ... all walks of life."

In embarrassment, a trembling voice rang out:

"Can I insert a sentence?"

Everyone turned their eyes and saw Lord Crappen, the Minister of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, squeezing his smile carefully:

"Adults, last year I saw the draft of Lord Thordor's request to expand the army. Although our grain production has recovered well, but ..."

"Up and down the country, the farmland, pasture land, minerals, forests, and towns that were reclaimed in the last ten years are far less than the speed of army expansion and knighthood ..."

He smiled flatteringly and tentatively said:

"Everyone, do you know what this means?"

Juke Man seemed to be encouraged. He shook his shoulders and raised his arms:

"Look! Soldier!"

But the person who followed up was not Thoreau.

"This means we can't just cut costs, we need to open source."

Qiu Ke turned his head and saw the speaker:

"Viscount Connie?"

The well-educated Minister of Commerce and Trade, Viscount Connie greeted him slightly:

"Exeter's internal struggle and decline will inevitably lead to turmoil in the surrounding area, but their territory is vast. The entire Westland, nearly one-third of the commercial roads will be blocked, and businessmen and money will have to find another way, even affecting East and West. Of transoceanic trade. "

The newly-appointed Minister of the Imperial Palace observed the expressions around him, trying to seize the hard-won opportunity to speak:

"If we can seize the opportunity and take advantage of the Yankees' self-sufficiency, deploy troops to actively attack, such as grasping the three major commercial roads of the great desert, regaining the lost sea corridor, and even further affecting the Longkun countries and the promenade ... Striving for more interests outside? "

Gilbert frowned, and Prime Minister Cullen had teeth.

Even the king's eyes moved.

"I heard it right, Connie, sharp face," Joko Man said incredulously: "Suo Duo want to ask for money and expand the army ..."

"You **** want to go abroad to fight?"

Viscount Connie showed a friendly smile, but unfortunately it didn't work well on that pointed face:

"General Qiu Ke, what we are talking about is the absolute control of key business channels, strategic points, rich resources, and huge trans-ocean trade. That's a huge amount of money-if it succeeds, I guarantee you will never have to worry about it again. financial resources."

But the treasurer only heard one keyword, and he was suspicious:

"in case?"

Viscount Connie smiled undiminished:

"To do this, maybe, what I said is maybe, the number of standing troops and armaments can indeed temporarily increase ..."

Qiu Ke gritted his teeth:

"Maybe?"

Connie coughed:

"Yes, but there is no doubt that the Kingdom is gradually recovering. Returning to prosperous commercial trade requires business roads, markets, gold and silver, exchanges, more opportunities, and in turn provides considerable taxation for the country. It will be a continuous virtuous circle ... "

Qiu Ke's face was distorted and his face was getting worse:

"continued?"

Viscount Connie shrugged:

"In short, the consultant of Soduo, the manager of Qiu Ke, the next trip, think about it?"

Juke Mann understood what the other meant, and his gaze kept going back and forth between the Minister of Commerce and Trade and the military adviser.

Thoreau pondered for a moment:

"It's not impossible, then we should find a time to look at the map and find possible targets. The royal standing army needs training ..."

It was at this time.

"Go to yourself!"

The officials were startled and turned their heads one after another.

I saw that Qiu Ke didn't know when he had stood up, shaking his lips, his anger was unstoppable:

"You gangsters, lose money!"

This stingy manager does not mean his own stingy:

"Anyway, I want to get even one from me!"

"One child! One! One! Child! Child!"

In front of everyone's surprised eyes, the money-bag adult sipped angrily:

"You guys said it lightly, why didn't you go to the Wangjia Bank yourself, flatteringly invited all the big riches to Hongfang Street, what to do with good wine and good food, and whispered with them like a prostitute, toasting and laughing, dead skin, and soft grinding Hard bubble, just for them to allow more debt repayment dates, and then lend us more money to make up for the fiscal shortfall? "

Gilbert coughed a little and wanted to remind Qiu Ke to pay attention to the words.

But Qiu Ke seemed not to pay attention at all, and continued to grin:

"Then go back to the government office and wait for vampires like you and soldiers to chase behind your **** like a bear child without enough milk. With a snot and tears, you reach for money with tears and tears. Once again turned into a black bottomless hole? "

Qiu Ke was chattering, and the more he talked, the more angry he was, and he smelled like a broken jar:

"Kingdom's treasurer? I bah!"

Perhaps when it comes to sadness, Qiu slaps on the desktop:

"My TM is a male prostitute who sells buttocks on his face! He lies on the bed and smiles happily while the guests are finished, and the money caught in the buttocks is not hot enough, so he has to get up and give his hands to the old bustard! You have to do it yourself! "

Juke Man closed his eyes and waved his fists frantically in front of his chest.

"It's every **** year!"

"every year!"

"every year!"

It seemed that Taylors was shocked inexplicably.

Even the king looked strange.

After a few seconds, Gilbert coughed heavily:

"Juke, occasion!"

The Treasurer took a few breaths before recovering, and was shocked.

"Cough, that," he bowed to the king, embarrassed:

"Me, I just made an analogy, rhetoric, rhetoric ..."

The Yuqian meeting was silent for a moment.

"I know it's difficult, Joker," finally, the king couldn't help comfortingly:

"So I need you to sit in this position, even more than others."

King Kessel stared at Juke from afar:

"This is a noble man of noble origin, and he can't do it."

The Treasurer shuddered slightly, and his expression instantly became inexplicable.

"Of course, Your Majesty, of course."

With the encouragement and approval of the King, Joker Man thanked:

"It's my pleasure to serve you ..."

"Come again," Thorduo, the military adviser said indignantly:

"How many budgets are so neglected by him ..."

Qiu Ke just stared at the king faithfully, unwittingly.

King Kessel raised his hand and rubbed his forehead:

"Enough, rest."

"The meeting will reopen in the afternoon to discuss how to help Ju Ke solve the budget problem."

As soon as this remark came out, everyone seemed relieved as if the bell was ringing.

Only Thordo and Qiu Ke at the center of the issue glanced at each other, and turned their heads away in disdain.

Cullen, Crappen, Stilianides, mysterious scarred men ... all salute respectfully and get up and leave.

Tyres also breathed out, followed Gilbert to get up, and helped him gather his notes.

until--

"You stay."

Thales froze.

The king didn't even open his eyes.

But everyone knows who he is talking about.

The prince sighed in his heart and sat back.

Ok.

What is coming is still coming.

The ministers glanced at him one after another, their expressions varied.

"Relax," Gilbert patted his shoulder and whispered:

"Just answer truthfully."

Thoreau deliberately passed through Thales to salute the Duke of Star Lake:

"Hope not to scare you, Your Highness."

"Unfortunately, if Xihuang's warfare can continue," the military adviser sighed: "That would further prove that the private soldiers of the lords are useless and the hidden dangers are deep.

"The proposal to recruit troops gradually to reform into a standing army is even more convincing."

He glanced at Taylors with regret:

"His Royal Highness, if you are in the desert, stay a little longer ..."

A little longer.

Tells froze for several seconds.

How can this sound strange?

A few minutes later, with the stone gate closed, the Yuqian meeting was only left with him and the king.

The narrow Ballard room was much empty.

However, the atmosphere was solemn.

Tyers sat in his place, trying to restrain his anxiety, watching King Kessel rubbing his forehead.

suddenly.

"Do you love her?"

Tells was puzzled for a while:

"What? What do you love?"

But the king didn't ask him what he meant.

"Whenever I mention the girl."

King Kessel put his hand down, revealing a pair of cold eyes from the darkness:

"You are like an old hen who only cares for her cubs."

Teres was shocked in his heart and tried to maintain his face as usual.

After the accident last night, he envisioned the reasons why King Kessel sought him: assassination, duel, bet, self-assertion ...

But this ...

"I have a good relationship with her."

Tells frowned:

"but not."

Duke Xinghu chuckled and shook his head:

"She is the Grand Duke of Longxiao City."

"I don't love her."

"It's impossible to love her."

After this sentence, King Kessel watched him for a long time.

Seeing Tyers chill in his heart.

"Then why, at the banquet last night."

The king spoke softly, every word was powerful:

"Kilbert, East Sea Leader, Cliffland Leader, Elk City, Reconstruction Tower, you cry to everyone you can find for help, and beg your pity ..."

"Just to help her?"

what?

At that moment, Tyers' heartbeat missed a beat.

What is he ...

Do not.

Tyres frowned hard, trying to justify:

"I don't understand. I saw many people last night, but ..."

But the king used affirmative sentences, which did not allow him to refute.

"Your performance last night was terrible."

The Iron Fist King leaned back, sinking completely into the darkness of Ballard's room. There is a touch of contempt in the tone:

"Master Polaris."

Polaris.

Somehow, the name given to Tyers by the Northlander made him feel cool at this moment.

"So, the heir to the throne of the Star Kingdom, fell in love with a Waltton girl from the north."

At that moment, his father, his Supreme King spoke coldly:

"I'm still in love."

"Never extricate yourself."

what did you say? No sword to update? Don't joke, today is not April Fools' Day.
