Kingdom’s Bloodline

Chapter 651 This palace is empty

Although the two prairie guests are distinguished, their skills are sharp, fierce and unambiguous, their wrestling skills and grappling skills are also deadly, and they have obviously undergone actual combat training.

First, the martial arts style of Seri Grassland is completely different from that of Xilu. Second, the guards and servants who came to the scene did not dare to make heavy moves, so they tried several times, but failed to suppress the two who made the real fire. Several enthusiastic guests who were brave enough to fight for justice were injured.

“Looking really familiar, reminds me of royal banquets.”

Looking at the chaotic corner of the banquet hall, Thales was wary: “Is it this? If there is death, the Kingdom Secret Division can use it…”

“I don’t think so,” Jain, who was following the situation closely, shook his head. “The prairie people know that this is their own hatred, and the conflict between foreign guests does not involve Kevin Deere. The Emerald Celebration brings together guests from all walks of life. It’s not surprising that there are disputes about this kind of wine after the ears are hot every year. Taking a step back, even if there are serious consequences…”

Jen stopped and glanced at Thales.

“The Emerald City has its own laws, which are fair, strict and convincing. This is known to all parties on the routes and trade routes. As long as they are handled properly, no one will settle the accounts on us.”

Thyls could not help sighing when he heard the words and thought of his own experience.

“It makes sense. If the king’s capital also has a judge like Brennan, then Anke Bailar would not have nowhere to ask, and he would kidnap and intimidate him at my banquet.”

And you don’t want to send him that sword to trouble me.

Thyls resisted the unspoken belly scandal.

“I know you are scolding me in your heart.”

Jian En’s expression does not change, alienated and indifferent:

“But you are actually very clear that it is not a problem that can be solved by one or two well-trained and principled judges.”

Tyles pursed his lips. Jayne’s words reminded him of Cohen’s career as a vigilante in Wing Star City.

After thinking about it, the conflict in the banquet hall has changed again. I saw an agile figure squeezing into the team of guards, and instantly joined the battle between two prairie guests!

咚! Snapped!

The newcomer did not show any superior strength or skills, but he was very lucky. Cha Chaka was on the offensive on both sides and entered the battle before the new round was opened. He was short to receive a punch, turned and swept his legs, and the two The guests fell to the ground severely one after another!

The crowd onlookers exclaimed.

The two perpetrators were about to get up, but when the newcomer raised his hand, a sword with a sheath happened to fly from the side and fell into his hand.

The next second, the newcomer unceremoniously clicked twice, knocking the two prairie people fainted.

The guards saw the gap, and hurriedly stepped forward to separate the two of them, and then helped them to treat the wounds.

Perhaps because of the atmosphere, the surrounding guests cheered and applauded one after another, and the nearby performers also played a “Conquest” in a timely manner.

The conflict was resolved, and the newcomer also spun around and retracted his sword gracefully, only to hear a tear-Miranda stood barefoot on the ground, frowning at her torn skirt, a little embarrassed.

“Not bad at skill, but,” Jen hummed and glanced at Thales, “It’s a pity.”

Thyls was thinking about what advanced words to say to express the “Oh, it’s not surprising, I’m all at this level”, and his expression froze when he heard these words:

What a pity? What a pity? What a pity?

Don’t just say half of it!

At the scene of the incident, the Marius envoy appeared behind Miranda, handing out his coat, and at the same time changing back to the eagle in her hand, which made the surrounding group of red eyes eager to try and are vying to take off their coats or coats. The men sighed disappointedly.

“The sword came at the right time, Lord. It’s just that I just kicked off my shoes.” Miranda looked at her bare feet, with an awkward expression, “Can I bother you…”

Before he finished speaking, Mallos automatically gave way: Glover and Paul struggled to squeeze away from the crowd. The former was squeezed out of a button, and a left shoe was squeezed back, and the latter was strapped on. With a smile, and a stain that I didn’t know when, he handed out a right shoe gracefully.

“When did you find it?” Miranda took the shoes in surprise.

“When did you kick them off?” Mallos was expressionless.

Miranda smiled and thanked them one by one.

The atmosphere of the Star Lake Guard was more harmonious, until D.D squeezed away from the crowd panting, flattering and expectantly holding out the third women’s shoe.

“What? Not this one? Ah, that’s it, hehe, it’s okay! Neshi is still behind, lying on the ground inch by inch…”

The crisis came to an end, and the two prairie visitors in the matter also woke up quietly, and most of their anger disappeared. Perhaps it was because they lost face in public, or because the person who shot was actually a girl.

However, one of them broke away from the servants in anger and rushed to Miranda to inquire, but the Star Lake Guard was not to be outdone. D.D stepped forward, holding Glover with his left hand, and Paul with his right hand, protecting Miranda with all his might.

The guest touched the red and swollen place on his forehead, and spoke to Miranda aggressively. The person next to him hurriedly translated: The guest wanted to know the girl’s name and address-when he would fight on his horse in the future. , Lay down ten tribes on the Kisery grassland, and when he saved ten pastures, he returned to the Westland and offered five of them to her as a betrothal gift.

Miranda could not help but stunned, trying to understand what the other person said, but the other perpetrator snorted coldly, and also pushed the waiter away and stepped forward.

With his black eyes and blushing face, the guest straightened out the messy clothes, said to Miranda in a stumbling Westland language, this girl is beautiful and brave, with great skill, is she willing to go back to the city with him? Seri Grassland, if he wants to, he will now swear to his honorary sword, if he becomes the khan of the tribe in the future, she will be his own concubine, they will rule the tribe together, Megatron Grassland, if he fails to become If Khan died early, the girl could take away half of his cattle and sheep and find another hero to remarry.

After coming and going, the two guests of Miranda started again-I don’t know if it was for the girl, or for “Kissery” or “Duchery”-yelling and yelling, and seeing that he was about to roll up his sleeves and fight again. But he was clasped by a pair of black gloves on his shoulders.

“Tell them that I am not a tool for them to compete for face.”

“As for the grassland and the Khan, it doesn’t make sense to me,” I couldn’t make up the torn skirt, so Miranda, who wrapped it around her calf as a leggings, embraced their necks and laughed, “Because of me. It’s the Khan-the Khan on the Snow on the other side of the sea!”

The two prairie guests were startled at first. After they understood, their eyes when they looked at Miranda became even more enthusiastic—the two gesticulated with each other and wanted to form bloodless but more sacred brothers and sisters with her.

Mallos appeared at the right time, smiled and praised the skills of the two guests, pointed to the plates and dishes on the ground that were affected by their fight, and waved at the same time. Two Exeter guests next to the “Snow Khan” Before expressing opinions, let everyone take Miranda away.

The situation subsided, and the warm atmosphere of banquet and celebration was restored in this corner.

“It is indeed a good sword.”

Jean on the watchtower looked at Miranda, applauded, and said again:

“Sharp and compelling, or with miraculous effects.”

Tyers and You Rongyan straightened their collars and straightened their waists in a dark corner that no one could see.

But Jane’s conversation changed:

“It’s just that the sword has double-edged swords, which makes it easy to self-injure.

“Don’t worry,” Thales curled his lips. “I am not like someone. I carry my sword every day and go to other people’s banquets as gifts.”

Mentioned the old grievances, Thales and Jane looked at each other and turned their heads together with a hum.

“Well, at least we are sure of one thing,” Thales exhaled, “At the battle banquet, my father will not act on guests from the grassland-the sword will not fall from here.”

“Well said,” Zhan En sarcastically, “Now we need to pay attention to only a few hundred other guests. This is simply clearing the cloud and seeing the fog, and it has greatly reduced the difficulty of our work.”

The two were silent for a while.

“Can we stop mocking each other?” Thales sighed, “Seriously, this greatly increases the difficulty of our communication.”

Jen chuckled, holding onto the hookah.

“Tell me, Thales, you and your people, what secrets have been spied on in the Emerald City these days?”

Thales had a heartbeat.

“Feel sorry?”

The Duke of Iris snorted softly:

“Don’t pretend. In the past few days, your subordinates-including that Aaron, even took off their uniforms and went to the banquet-did everything possible to penetrate the Emerald City, from the nobles to the Limin capital. I’ve searched all over the world for business, trade, public order, the army, law, history, and even my sister’s affairs… But you yourself can spend my hospitality funds vigorously, wandering around the city, looking for faults everywhere. Do you really think I don’t know what you want to do?”

Thyls’s expression stagnated.

Oh oh.

“I thought I had talked to you, Thales: In the Emerald City, we are frank and honest–”

In the face of Jen’s scorching eyes, Thales, who was uncovered, coughed.

“Um, I, we are not busy these days, you are not free, I did not have time to visit your bedroom at night, um, I can’t tell you privately…”

But Jann ignored his borders and continued aggressively:

“——You are doing small movements behind your back, searching your intestines and scraping your belly, thinking about how to break me down?”

The Duke of South Bank put down his cigarette holder and exhaled a puff of white smoke, making his expression even more weird.

Tels was a little embarrassed, he rubbed his hands.

“Yes, I sent people to investigate and detect, understand the current situation of the Emerald City, search for the weaknesses of the Emerald City, because-because this is what I should do!”

The prince adjusted his mood and made himself sound confident:

“Since we want everyone, especially my father, to see that the two of us are in flames and are hostile to each other… Isn’t this normal, should be, or even necessary?”

Jane narrowed his eyes.

Thales turned around and waved his hand without a doubt:

“Since you want to pursue thorns-the pursuit of effects, then implement it to the end!”

Jenn did not answer, but just looked at him silently.

The silence of the other party lasted so long that Thales felt a little embarrassed and had to put down his sore arm.

“well said.”

The Duke of South Bank looked at the Emerald City outside the observation platform and snorted coldly:

“Then as your visible enemy, I should also do my best to fight against you, block your channel, embarrass your subordinates, hinder your life, and never let you live well, to show that we really fight to the death and the life. Don’t reveal any flaws—otherwise, how can you fool others, right?”

Thales is not to be outdone:

“What? Are you threatening me now? Don’t forget—”

Jane continued: “How about cutting your daily meals?”

Meals…

Thales put on a friendly smile in time, and the conversation changed:

“——Don’t forget we’re just acting!”

He smiled:

“Oh, acting is just a means after all. It is not good to be too serious or too deep in the show. It will seriously affect our cooperation efficiency. After all, we still have the biggest enemy!”

Jen hummed disdainfully, then took a breath of cigarette.

“Then, your Highness and your men, have worked so hard in these days, have you found anything in the Emerald City?”

Amidst the smoke, the Duke of South Bank’s gaze hit Thales’ eyes directly:

“For example, is there anything worth noting that can be used as a handle to knock down Kevin Deere’s house with a fatal blow?”

Tyles had a pause, smiling awkwardly.

“Well…”

Enough to overturn the Kevin Deere’s stuff-uh, the secret sauce for barbecue?

“We thought we were done, and honestly?”

Is it the next moment, the Duke’s momentum changed, full of murderous intent:

“Tell me, Thales, if you were the king and you were your majesty, how would you deal with the Emerald City to seize power from Kevin Deere?”

Thales’ smile froze.

If you are the king.

How to seize power…

Tels?

The prince looked back at each other silently.

And Jane just smoked silently, waiting for his response.

At that moment, many thoughts flashed through Thales’ mind.

You are the king.

You are your majesty.

what will you do?

For an instant, he seemed to return to the Fuxing Palace and saw the back of the young man with the crown.

The young man just moved his fingers, and the whole kingdom moved like a machine, neatly aligned, like the fingers of an arm.

His kingdom.

Thyls had to reach out and pinch the covenant in his pocket, leaning on the bone spurs on it, to pull himself back to reality.

The two people on the observatory were facing each other in silence. One side of them was a banquet hall full of singing and dancing, and the other side was a panoramic view of the Emerald City.

Finally, Thales sighed softly:

“Yes, I have sent my subordinates these past few days, indeed, I have learned some information about the Emerald City.”

Jen put down the hookah and looked at him seriously.

“As far as I know, a large number of commodities from the whole kingdom are gathered here, in the Emerald City, assembling, processing, sorting, and trading.”

Thyls looked serious:

“It will be transported to Gonghai City, where it will go out to sea, leading to the north, east, or south to the sea, and vice versa.”

This is the topic that Glover came back from the canal area. After talking about a lot of horror stories about water ghouls on the pier and the sea legends of tide hunters, he finally came up with the topic.

Jane’s eyes changed when he heard him.

“And those merchants, artisans, and craft owners, they don’t go anywhere, they only believe in the Emerald City and Kevin Deere, and believe in the order and rules here,” Thales shook his head, “Mike can threaten a wine merchant to rebel. Maybe you can influence some industries through him…”

“Apostasy?”

Jen is thoughtful.

“The wine merchant, do you really think that Secret Science can influence certain things through him, or someone like him?”

“Maybe, just maybe,” Thales shook his head, “but the point is that they can’t force so many people to defect at the same time, can’t reverse the impression of the Emerald City in everyone’s hearts, and can’t cut off your financial lifeline that has become a climate. ”

Jean did not speak, but silently nodded.

“In addition, the Kevin Deere family has a lot of armed merchant ships that have a stake in it, such as the pirate, um, the former pirate, and the sea wolf ship group in Tanganga.”

Tels continued calmly:

“Of course, it is a merchant ship in name. It belongs to different ship owners. It is not as large as the Kingdom and Huigang navy anchored in the East China Sea. The combat power is also unknown… but it is enough to guarantee your transoceanic trade.”

This is still the intelligence that Wiya and Kumutuo brought back after eating a lap in major guilds through Gilbert’s fame.

“As for the Emerald Legion, this is another pioneering move-yes, they are not long-established, they have not been under war, and they are not well-trained. They are not as powerful and scale as the Royal Standing Army, and may not be able to withstand the rush of Araka Mu’s anger guard. Two back and forth.”

This is the conclusion reached after Glover, including Miranda, had “trying hands” secretly with a few good-looking local officers.

“Excessive reputation,” Jaen said suddenly, “I know that the group of green hats have a few kilograms and can withstand half a round without being crushed, even if they are worthy of the salary.”

Faced with such a candid duke, Thales was a little embarrassed.

“But they command unity and use this as their duty. There is no disadvantage of enlisting soldiers,” Thales continued. “If my father wants to deal with you in a way similar to the Wings of Legend and the camp of Bladefang, I am afraid it will be very difficult. At least there are not enough excuses and reasons.”

Jen laughed.

He looked at the teenager with interest, and seemed to encourage:

“anything else?”

Thales looked back at him as well.

Jane looked very calm.

is confident?

Still ready to go?

“Citizens here.”

Tels continued.

“They are different from Yongxing City. In fact, they are different from the citizens of most places I have seen. They are various workshop owners, industry owners, ship owners, merchants, and workers, craftsmen, coachmen, trackers, Sailors…too many, too many to count, including the various guilds, guilds, and chambers of commerce they formed, so that the Emerald City set up a notary office to handle their affairs.

“This is also the case with the grassroots officials. This is the first time that I have seen so many people in the Security Department. They are too many. They are not enough. They have to recruit volunteer assistants from good citizens. Most of them are from ordinary citizens. They have families in Emerald City. Production and industry.”

This is the information that Kong Muto found through the relationship with the Police Department and found a few old friends here.

Of course, there are also D.D and Nexi, who were inquired about by a group of people eating and drinking in the city-of course, relying on the public funds of the Emerald City.

“In other places, farmers, herders, and craftsmen live on the land in the villages around the lord’s castle. If there is no shortage of food, they may protest the uprising. In order not to be overwhelmed by them, the lord may also entrap in and cause conflicts. At the level of the guardian duke.”

Thyls sighed softly, his eyes were different:

“However, these citizens of all walks of life who have left the land…want to instigate them against you and overthrow Kevin Deere. I can only say that it is not the time yet.”

Jean smiled undiminished:

“This is not surprising, Yongxing City, Huigang City… big towns all have such characteristics.”

But Thales shook his head.

“After I came here, rumors spread all over the streets of the Emerald City. Although the versions are different, they probably have one thing in common: once I marry your sister…”

Speaking of sensitive information, Thales couldn’t help but raise his head and observe Jane’s expression, lest the other party push himself from here on impulse.

Fortunately, although the Duke of South Bank frowned slightly, he did not act too drastically.

“The rumor says that once I marry the Duke’s sister and become Kevin Deere’s brother-in-law,” Thales said cautiously, “then facing the royal relatives surnamed Canxing, the Iris family will have to bow their heads. , The royal merchants will flood into the Emerald City…”

“Come to divide the market and profits?” Jann raised an eyebrow and asked.

“No, Emerald City is not afraid of someone coming to carve up the market. In fact, you also welcome to encourage merchants to come, thinking that this can drive circulation and promote prosperity,” Thales denied. “But you let out this rumor-yes, I know It’s you—what you want the citizens to know is: someone, a big man, is going to change the rules of the Emerald City from top to bottom.”

Jen raised his eyebrows.

Yes, rumors, this is the news that Rolf’s outfit—not even the full outfit—is deaf and mute, relying on the advantage that no one cares about, he heard in the street wine shop.

Tyles leaned on the railing and looked at the lights of Wanjia below.

“As a Duke, you can bring specific administrative institutions into the Kongming Palace, willingly pay fines to the court, and make a low voice to the judges. This means that in the entire South Bank Territory, there is no one except his status and power. Above the guardian duke-dare to break the rules that even iris must follow.”

Thyls looked at each other:

“It is the rules created and maintained by the Kevin Deere family that have shaped the unique order of Nan’an Ning: The merchants outside can safely bring their goods in, not afraid of turbulence and power; Bags of gold dared to go to the streets without worrying about safety or loss; even the wealthy nobles had to move their chips to bet the game at this table according to the croupier’s instructions.”

“In short, here, no one needs to watch the lords’ mood and preferences with trepidation, subject to the randomness of the rulers, and worry about possible turbulence. For example, in Exeter, if a king dies, he needs to change one. A new bitumen ore contract?”

Jane stopped smiling, he stared at the prince closely, and said nothing.

Tyers changed his head:

“But once I become a relative of Kevin Deere, and the South Bank has a natural presence higher than that of Kevin Deere, will the established rules still be obeyed, or will they be obeyed? The merchants followed me and followed Canxing to the Emerald City. Would they still respect the order? Wouldn’t they take advantage of the inherently stronger kingship to seize it by accident?”

“For example, in the case of the previous arrest of Dagori Moss, what you want the entire Emerald City to see is that the Royal Family of Stars is sheltering the merchants in the center, and’the royal family wants to change the rules that you rely on for a living’? ”

Thales sighed:

“This is your purpose for releasing this rumor-and I happen to be a northerner who grew up in Exeter. Oh, I forgot. For the Nanan Ling, the north of Muhe, including Yongxing City are counted.’ Barbaric North’.”

Jean looked at him with strange eyes.

“I guess, in this way, almost all the merchants, owners, craftsmen and workers in the Emerald City, but most ordinary citizens, will spontaneously reject me, hate me, and resist the entry and intervention of the royal family-the one who asked me to fight. The dumb earl will not say anything, but the sunset sacrificial ritual who expressed dissatisfaction with my marriage a few days ago, I guess what he reflected and reflected the wishes of the general public?”

Thales sighed in his heart: At this point, the prince’s butts have lost.

“Therefore, any **** marriage, go to the hell,” Thales sneered. “If I really set marrying your sister as my goal, thinking that I can safely get involved in the Emerald City through the marriage of the royal family and the duke, then I would be really blind. Eye.”

“It’s not bad, Your Highness,” Jen hummed lightly, and looked at him with admiration, “Not bad.”

Thales took a deep breath.

But it’s more than that.

is much more than that.

“And the entire South Bank, from the duke down, the traditional high-ranking vassals—whether they are real or honorable nobles, earls, viscounts, barons—and their families all have business in the Emerald City, have foundations, and have intricate relationships, covering all walks of life. Industry.” Thales continued.

This is the news that D.D and the young men of the Emerald City have come back after eating, drinking, and having fun.

“For example, Karabyyan in Walla, Lasia in Zedi, these nobles either partnered with a businessman to make guarantees, or bought shares to support a certain industry to earn dividends, or simply led to open up a business route by themselves…”

Well, there are also the two twin sisters of Karabyan… In order to find out the business relationship behind the family through the Tailor’s Guild, Kong Muto had to be slaughtered two hundred and twenty-four gold coins. Fortunately, he has just passed Miranda. Resolved.

“…So their profits and income no longer depend on their traditional land, but largely depend on—”

“The prosperity of the Emerald City.” Jann took the words calmly.

Thyls nodded, his expression solemn:

“And the prosperity of the Emerald City depends on trade re-exports, rules and order, the governance and protection of the Kevin Deere family, and the prestige you have accumulated in the South Bank for a long time.

“This keeps you safe in the traditional ruling order: when the real baron and the villagers who were forced to desperate by the land, they moved out of the courtroom and cried and wailed, and there was not even a significant vassal. When he is willing to arbitrate for him, it is even more impossible for my father to subvert you through these people. At the royal banquet, the land conflicts and debt disputes like Baylar and Doyle, here are not even a spray. Splashes, even if there are, are just a blow from Inquisitor Brennan.”

Thales remembered something, and was silent for a while before continuing:

“So, the princes of Exter, they may unite against Chaman Rumba; the Forex and Zemuto families in the north may covet Arund because of short-sightedness, pride, and greed. The backward power vacuum; the officials of the Western Wilderness, including Chroma of Wingburg, and Bozdorf of Soulhold, may also be separated from the Duke Falkenhaus due to their different positions and split political opinions.”

Tels only felt that what he said was extremely heavy:

“But here, the great vassals of the South Bank, they have been in the game for too long, they are too involved, and they are too dependent. Not only is it impossible for them-to be bought by my father-to oppose you, but they will only surround the Emerald City and be the whole The system on the South Bank is tied together to support Kevin Deere and resist the royal invasion.”

“Really? Are you sure?”

Jane’s eyes became sharper.

Tels stared at Jen, feeling the deeper things in the other’s eyes.

“As for the final counterattack,” the prince slowly said, telling the information that Gilbert sorted out and came to him through Wiya, “As early as the year your father died, you succeeded as the Duke. , It was completely extinguished.”

Jenn’s eyes moved.

“Nearly ten years ago, in 669, Viscount Sona Kevin Deer of Gonghai City hired a murderer to assassinate your father.”

Jen took a deep breath.

“Viscount Sonar-your uncle was half succeeded, but the conspiracy was revealed after the incident, and he died in jail,” Thales sighed, “I think that is the last counterattack of the traditional land aristocrats in the South Bank Territory.”

Of course, if this happens to Exeter, it is estimated that the Northlanders will choose Sona Kevin Dill as king.

The night wind blew across the observation deck, and Jane’s eyes were deep.

“Ning to die because of a friend, not an enemy.”

He extinguished the hookah and put the pipe back into the pipe:

“But my father never thought that this sentence could be used on his brother.”

Thales did not speak, but gave the man in front of him a little respect.

“Finally, it stands to reason that such a big city, a slum like Xiacheng,” A few seconds later, Thales continued, “In the Emerald City, there should be only a lot more.”

“There are indeed a lot,” Jen nodded. “The new suburbs here are that its area is still increasing year by year.”

Thales shook his head:

“But it’s far less chaotic than the capital city—in contrast, there are more citizens in Yongxing City, but more poor people. The area of ??Xiacheng District is several times that of other districts. It can be managed by dividing into three districts. They call that management.”

Thyls can’t help frowning when he thinks of the past in the sixth house.

“And the Emerald City is rich, with a lot of business, miscellaneous industries, and a lot of work. As long as you have the hands and feet to work, you will not starve to death. As long as there is hope, there will not be many people who take risks,” Thales sighed. , “Even the Brotherhood and the Blood Bottle Gang must be cautious under this order.”

“So, it doesn’t seem feasible to think from the bottom of the city.”

The voice fell, and Thales was silent for a long time.

Jean also did not speak, it seems that at this moment, the two are tasting the same things tacitly.

“These are all the information I know about the Emerald City.”

Thales sighed:

“In short: the so-called weakness of Kevin Deere, I have not found it at all.”

Jen looked at him, his eyes changed several times.

“I really admire you, Jain, really.”

The prince looked faintly:

“As far as I can see, from the military to the finances, from politics to the system, from commerce to public opinion, from the rule to the bottom society, this city, this territory, everything is tightly connected, interlocking, impeccable and impeccable. .”

“As long as you are still on this land, whoever dares to move you and influence the rule of Kevin Deere is to move the city’s rules, its order, its interests, and its roots, and it is bound to bear. From top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, from the entire South Bank, a concerted counterattack.”

Tyers walked to the observatory and knocked on the stone fence of Kongming Palace:

“It is not as thrilling as the Northern Territory, not as rough as the Western Wilderness, not as powerful and powerful as the Yongxing City, but it is a solid copper wall and iron wall, as solid as golden soup.”

The prince looked at the town in front of him, and couldn’t help feeling:

“The Emerald City is known as the city of queens, but some people call it the’Queen of the City’.”

He turned to Jen, meaning something:

“You know, the outcome on the chessboard is determined by the king’s life or death, but in fact, the queen is the strongest one.”

Jane remained silent for a long time.

“Will you overestimate us? You know, we don’t even have a wall.”

Thales laughed.

He patted the railing, only that his palm hurts:

“Yes, it has no walls-the speed of expansion is not as fast as the influx of residents into settlement, but…”

Thyls remembered the scene and said with emotion:

“The mediocre monarch builds his walls with earth and stones, foreign enemies are difficult to invade, and the castle is difficult to fall…”

But before he finished speaking, Jayne interrupted him:

“The wise monarch takes the human heart as his wall, always wins and undefeated, and never ceases to prosper.”

The Duke of South Bank said this sentence, slightly surprised.

Tels startled:

“How did you know?”

Jen looked at him:

“Of course, the “Supreme” by the Honorable Earl of Al Ruhsan.”

“He was a military strategist a hundred years ago, a man of Trojan who had no power to bind the chicken, but became the imperial military adviser of Xianjun Mindis III, and became the de facto supreme commander of the Star Army. The immobile’Marshal Without Sword’-since you quoted him, you should know?”

Ah?

“Supreme Slightly”?

Lukh what?

What a thing?

“Oh, Lu, Ruhsan, um, that’s right,” Thales, who was ignorant on his face, had to pretend to be calm, “I’m talking about him.”

But Jain seemed to see him through, only to see the Duke chuckle.

“Rukhsan was the commander of the’Glorious Battle’ in the Fourth Continental War. He overthrew many established combat thinking and combined naval and land warfare, defense and field warfare, coast and plains to formulate strategies, although he did not have any. The glorious success of the Red Sea in the Bolasco Battle of Yuanfan also caused the Morrowind Fleet of the Humbles and the Ligurian fleet to return without success, making the so-called “Million Heroes” of Donglu’s menacing popularity. The landing failed, so I had to withdraw the troops in a desperate manner and return to the voyage.”

“It was also from him that military advisors became a permanent position in the Imperial Conference, and the Royal Knights Academy also added strategic planning to the curriculum.”

Jane’s smile disappeared after a turn of the conversation:

“But in his later years, Rukhsan retired and retired. After living in the Emerald City, his military thinking became conservative and backward. He has been criticized and ridiculed, saying that he was old and unwilling to make progress, and was scared by the nightmare of his illness. Courage, the glory is no longer.”

“The “Supreme” is his unfinished posthumous work. Compared with his other strategizing and controversial works, this book is not about how to fight, but how to avoid it. There are not many people in this year. Willing to read it.”

There was a chorus in the banquet hall, and it seemed that the banquet had reached its climax.

“Uh, yes, yes,” Thales coughed. “That’s it, uh, it fits the current situation of the Emerald City. The bones of jackals, tigers and leopards have no way to speak.”

Well, is it disrespectful to describe the king like this?

Jean’s face is as deep as water, and he doesn’t make a sound.

Time seems to have passed as long as a century.

“not me.”

Jean finally spoke.

“What? What’s not you?” Thales wondered.

“I mean, it’s not just me, not even my father.”

The young Duke came to Thales and watched the lanterns under the Kongming Palace with him:

“What you see today is from the golden age of stars started by the wise king a hundred years ago, from the Duke Federico, who was ridiculed by everyone for clumsy and parroting, and passed through six generations of Kevin. Deere, the seven dukes of the South Bank, and countless people with lofty ideals work together. It is the city of queens that they clung to their corners but have a long-term vision, hiding their capacities and biding their time to subtly influence the city for a century.”

a hundred years.

Six generations.

Seven dukes.

Tels changed color slightly.

He understands something.

“Parrot” Federico, “Swordless Marshal” Ruhsan.

original……
