MTL - Please Sink In Happiness-Chapter 40
If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that I would be eager to accept such a request.
However, Li Ergou shook his head:
"Sorry, I don't want to."
"Even if it's just acting?"
"I love my girl, and I swear I will only spoil her from now on, so I'm sorry, Miss, even if it's a show, it's about my principles."
Li Ergou replied without being humble or arrogant.
Miss Ivy is indeed beautiful, but that beauty has an air of physical danger.
In the vast nature, the brighter the spiders are, the more poisonous they are. If you relax your vigilance because of their beauty, you may be caught by the spider webs in a blink of an eye, and you will never be able to escape.
To this day, Miss Ivy can be said to be a favor to him, but Li Ergou still doesn't buy it. He can be grateful to Miss Ivy, but he must not have anything to do with her, otherwise the day of freedom will have no time limit. And that is undoubtedly Miss Ivy's true purpose.
"Che, you are such a boring man."
The golden pupils flickered with a strange coldness.
Chapter 28 The Sea Mission from Dongzhou
The sun in the sky is extremely poisonous. In normal times, this time should be the time for the people of Shengluer Kingdom to take a nap, but now, they have gathered on the coast to block the water.
The majority of the crowd are of course civilians with all kinds of expressions on their faces. In addition, you can also see princes and nobles in brocade clothes and robes, bankers in suits and leather shoes, generals with their heads held high, and the military band behind the generals. and honor guard.
Even Prince Louis came.
Today's Prince Louis still hasn't disappointed anyone, with a flamboyant leopard-print suit, a beach-inspired tee, brown-red cropped-knee jeans, and a pair of funny round sunglasses.
Seeing the prince, a serious-faced general wearing a dark blue officer uniform lowered his voice and angrily scolded the servants in the palace:
"What's the matter? Didn't I say it before? Today's guest is very important. She is even ten times more important than the last diplomat, Daula Dilie. The military attache stationed abroad this time is the famous Xin Chuan. Fenghuazi! Let me tell you, she is not only Ya Yinyue's cronie, but also the youngest 'shadow' in the history of Dongzhou, and you stupid servants let the spiritual symbol of our country wear this clown clothes Meet the adults from Dongzhou?"
"I'm sorry, General Clement, but, but this dress is what the prince insisted on wearing. We persuaded him, but the prince didn't listen at all, and said it was his most sincere dress..."
"Sincere ass, this guy is a brainless dude, I knew it should have been..."
"Okay, don't continue talking. In any case, he is our prince, and we must always maintain admiration for the royal family."
A gentle-faced old general stepped forward and patted General Clement's shoulder, with a terrifying depth hidden in his kind eyes.
"I'm sorry, Admiral Machiavelli!"
Seeing the old general, Major General Clement immediately bent down and apologized.
If it's just a military rank, General Clement doesn't need to be so restrained.
But Machiavelli is not only a general, but also a duke. Going back to his ancestors, the Machiavelli family is inextricably linked with the current royal family, the Elba family.
Why the queen died of food poisoning and why the king is now in his fifties and frail, no one knows, but General Clement, as a participant, knows better than anyone that everything originated from Machiavelli. A small thought from the charitable old man...
"Hey, uncle, long time no see!"
When Prince Louis saw Machiavelli, he immediately stepped forward and patted him kindly on the shoulder.
A look of disdain flashed across Duke Machiavelli's face, and then a kind and gentle smile appeared immediately.
Seeing Prince Louis greet Prince Louis so intimately, General Clement, who knew the inside story, could not help but sneer in his heart. This foolish prince had no idea what his kind uncle really was, but fortunately he didn't know, otherwise he might have Will die of "food poisoning" like his mother.
The power of the Elba royal family to control the nobles is no longer what it used to be. The Shengluer Kingdom seems to be a whole, but no one can tell how much evil is hidden under that iris flag.
"Uncle, my father is about to die, will I be crowned the king of Shengluer Kingdom?" Prince Louis asked like a naive child.
"Louis, you should spend more time with your father, he is a hero." Machiavelli said gently.
"Learn to be a hero who starts and ends badly? Look at my father, it's like a sad parasite, it makes people laugh."
Prince Louis' ruthless ridicule attracted the angry eyes of the soldiers, but he was completely disapproving of it, and he was too busy to speak ill of the old king.
Duke Machiavelli looked at his nephew tenderly, listened silently to his dissatisfaction with his father, and at the same time pointed out that he should be more enterprising, which won him a lot of goodwill, especially the commoners They even gave him a thumbs up, lamenting that thanks to the existence of such a pillar of the nobles of the Shengluer Kingdom, he is the last conscience of the nobles.
About ten minutes later, the fleet representing the Eastern Continent Empire finally appeared. The meandering black dragon flag represented the unique authority of the Eastern Continent Empire. The steel fleet was equipped with the most advanced cannons on the continent today.
- Woohoo!
There was a deafening sound from the steam engine.
"That's the battleship Meiniang! The absolute main force of the Zhenxi Navy, it was the Meiniang battleship that sank the ambitions of the North Sea Fleet with a thunderbolt from the battleship Meiniang!"
To this day, the people of Xizhou still remember the dispute about sea power. The four naval divisions of Zhendong, Zhenxi, Zhennan and Zhenbei of the Dongzhou people fought together. That naval battle was the largest naval battle in history. , the Eastern Continent Empire combined all its overseas governors and tributary countries to form a huge fleet of more than 700 ships, and the Royal Navy Fleet, Armada, High Seas Fleet, Beihai Fleet and other 900 ships composed of Western Continent countries. The formed large fleet launched a naval battle.
In that war, the Dongzhou Empire was at a disadvantage for a time. In the end, the Meiniang in Dongzhou and its screen guards made a big turn, cutting off the formation of the fleets of various countries in the Western Continent. Time has become dark and dark, and it has become a **** on earth. After the war, Dongzhou won the glory, and Xizhou no longer has the strength to fight against Dongzhou.
"It's amazing, the light of world culture was born in the East."
"It would be great if I could also be an Oriental..."
There were noisy voices from the crowd, and all the girls in Xizhou showed longing for the naval navy of the Dongzhou Empire.
Dongzhou is the most prosperous place in the world. Almost everyone in Xizhou is full of infinite reverie about Dongzhou. It is the cradle of human civilization, but how easy is it to go to Dongzhou? Almost only children from rich families have the opportunity to study in Dongzhou, while ordinary civilians almost don't even think about it.
"If only my big bird could be as big as the Mei Niang's cannon..."
The person who can say such words is naturally Prince Louis. At this moment, he is standing beside Admiral Machiavelli watching Zhenxi Navy approaching the port, his eyes seem to be looking for the figure of the legendary beauty diplomat.
"Louis, it's still too late, hurry up and change your clothes, it's really not a good thing for you to wear this dress to meet the envoy of the Dongzhou Empire."
"Hey, uncle, I didn't expect your aesthetics to be so conformist. Conformity is the way of life for vulgar people. I don't want my uncle to be a vulgar person. Look, this body is what I am most proud of. Dressed up, the beautiful diplomats in Dongzhou will definitely fall for it."
While speaking, Louis whistled and walked towards the port. Seeing that he could not persuade Louis, Admiral Machiavelli had to sigh.
Anyway, it's not yourself who is embarrassed, so let him go.
Chapter 29 The Duke who greets the distinguished guests
"Is she a diplomat from the East? It's so beautiful..."
"Is she a fairy?"
For Westerners, oriental beauties are born with a mysterious and graceful sense of beauty, which is an insurmountable barrier for Western women in their entire lives.
Under the exclamations of the crowd, the figure became more and more clearly visible. It was a tall beauty with waist-length black hair. Under the extremely pure black hair color, there was extremely pure white skin, embellished with a touch of cherry red lips. Like the finishing touch on her face, the black kimono has a pattern of ink and wash that looks noble and elegant. She must be Xinchuan Fenghuazi, her beauty is comparable to that of a god.
However, that beautiful face looked extremely indifferent. At this time, the black-haired beauty was standing on the deck of the Mei Niang with a look of indifference. Others could not judge her mood from her eyes or demeanor. The surrounding navy The soldiers were busy with their docking work, but whenever the Dongzhou naval soldiers approached her, they could not help but become cautious.
Even if she didn't do anything, she also had an air of a superior person who was not angry and mighty, and just a casual glance could immediately remind people of the cold winter of the extreme cold.
The nobles who already have wives kept gulping, and the young sons were already eager to try, and even Prince Louis was shouting at this time:
"Get out of the way, don't grab me! This woman belongs to me, Louis!"
—Boom!
With a loud bang, under the **** of the Pingwei ship, the Meiniang from the Dongzhou Empire finally docked. The navy soldiers lined up neatly, standing in two rows, and one took off the escalator from the battleship Meiniang and directly connected to the pier. , the servants immediately laid a bright red carpet on the escalator.
After all this was done, the Shengluer Kingdom officer who commanded the military band and the honor guard waved his hand and shouted:
"play music!"
In order to welcome the distinguished guests from Dongzhou from afar, flowers and applause suddenly rolled like waves.
Escorted by a group of royal guards and several noble officers, Prince Louis walked towards the black-haired beauty and extended his hand.
"Hello, hello, under Louis X. Elba, although my father is not dead, you can also call me Louis XIV, or Louis the Great."
His words attracted attention, and the surrounding nobles and officers said that you are also worthy of being called "The Great Emperor"?
But on the surface, there is still a smile like a mechanical doll.
They must make up for Prince Louis' rudeness with the most perfect hospitality. Now the Dongzhou Empire is the most powerful country on the mainland. From a geopolitical point of view, becoming a hard-core ally with the Dongzhou Empire will mean that it can be used in Xizhou. It is self-evident that it is important to gain more voice and to please this royal family member from the Eastern Continent Empire.
However, pairs of hands froze in mid-air, it would be reasonable if the prince in a leopard-print suit was ignored by Xinchuan Fenghuazi.
But no matter the wise and mighty generals behind him, the shrewd and capable ministers of state affairs, and the noble dukes in brocade clothes and robes, none of them managed to shake hands with Fenghuazi, Xinchuan Fenghuazi took steady and powerful steps, ignoring to everyone who came towards her.
"The rest is up to you."
She glanced back at the admiral who was accompanying her, and after giving simple instructions, she walked towards the carriage that greeted her.
It seemed that there was nothing in the huge Shengluer Kingdom that could arouse her interest.
The commoners watching by King Shengluer were waving their hands and applauding and holding up flowers, but at this time Xinchuan Fenghuazi had already got into the carriage and closed the window, as if the people outside were a bunch of buzzing flies.
The officers and soldiers of the military band and the honor guard were still standing upright. In order to greet the rumored Highness Fenghuazi Xinchuan today and make her smile, these officers and soldiers had rehearsed again and again under the scorching sun of about 30 degrees, wearing Thick and hot bearskin hats, even at the risk of heat stroke, but Xin Chuanfenghuazi did not notice their heroic appearance at all, which made them feel like monkeys in military uniforms.
"Alas, your Highness seems to be a little self-willed."
Prince Louis shakes hands with Admiral Chen, Nagano, Pingxiang and others.
These admirals from the East smiled bitterly:
"His Royal Highness Xinchuan hates physical contact with people on weekdays, and I hope your Highness Prince will forgive you for this."
"Young people, who doesn't have a problem." Prince Louis said with a big attitude, "After all, there are not many perfect men like me, but gentlemen, your Royal Highness Xinchuan is really a temperament. Beauty, I wonder if this kind of beauty has a marriage contract?"
"His Royal Highness Xinchuan Fenghuazi already has a marriage contract. His Royal Highness is said to be a young master surnamed Li."
Admiral Hirao Kenpachi was respectful, polite, and slightly contemptuous. He didn't know whether he despised Prince Louis for wanting to eat swan meat, or the young master surnamed Li, who had never been seen in rumors.
"Oh, that's a pity, but forget it." Prince Louis shrugged.
At this moment, Duke Machiavelli stepped forward and opened his arms friendly:
"Welcome all the distinguished guests from the east to my kingdom of Shengluer, General Chen Shaokuan, the Pinghai you commanded is still fresh in my memory, Lord Saburo Nagano, you are still young and powerful, this Lord Hirao Kenpachi. , in that naval battle, I remember that you made the Mei Niang make a big turn and annihilated our Pavlov and Wilhelmina in one fell swoop. It's amazing."
The Duke of Machiavelli presided over the overall situation, and these naval officers from the East were naturally more interested in the battle that year, and were quickly attracted by the Duke who served as an admiral. As for Prince Louis, who was dressed in fancy clothes It was soon left out in the cold and became an irrelevant existence.
No one was following Prince Louis, as if Prince Louis was standing here only because Prince Louis' surname was Elba. And Duke Machiavelli was able to receive distinguished guests because the old man had a unique personal charm. He couldn't help being kind and friendly, his voice was strong and powerful, and he was also a duke.
Next, Duke Machiavelli ordered the military band and the guard of honor to start their respective performances. Although Fenghuazi Xinchuan left without authorization and the atmosphere dropped to freezing point, at this moment, Duke Machiavelli passed his sophisticated hospitality. In an instant, the atmosphere became lively, the salute was played behind him, and the navy soldiers in the east walked into the city of Shengluer Kingdom with their heads held high, and the people greeted them one after another.
As for Prince Louis, he disappeared without knowing it, and no one knows where he went.
I am afraid that since the departure of Xinchuan Fenghuazi, the military attache abroad, Prince Louis has no intention of continuing to stay to receive naval officers and soldiers.
He may have gone to the pub to get drunk, or he may have gone to the racetrack to bet on horses. No matter where he goes, the people of Shengluer Kingdom are indifferent to it, even if there is no prince, it doesn't matter, as long as Duke Machiavelli is in charge of the overall situation, everything There is no problem.
As for the prince who gets in the way, he can go wherever he likes, and staying here will only get in the way.
Chapter 30 Advice from former diplomats
"Long time no see, Fenghuazi."
Inside the carriage with the black dragon flag, the former Dongzhou diplomat Daula Di Lie showed a friendly smile to Xinchuan Fenghuazi. As a descendant of the Golden Cavalry, Di Lie can always be reminiscent of the grassland. A man running a horse.
After meeting the compatriots in Dongzhou, Xinchuan Fenghuazi was finally no longer as cold as before, she smiled faintly:
"Nice to meet you here, Dilie."
"Ah, you are finally here, so someone will pick up my class, Fenghuazi. You don't know, I want to go back to our motherland all the time, first of all I have to go back to Mangel, in the vast Riding horses on the grassland."
"You're still the same as before."
Fenghuazi actually appreciates the nomadic people like the Daula family. Their boldness and freedom are not possessed by either the Ya family or the Xinchuan family. In the history of the Central Plains and Dongying, history has always been full of conspiracy and betrayal. farce.
Immediately afterwards, Di Lie said:
"And the most important thing is that I can still meet Her Highness Yinyue. This is what makes me the most happy. Her Highness Yinyue is the most outstanding person in our younger generation. She will eventually become the greatest Empress of Dongzhou in history! "
"That's right!"
Hearing Di Lie say this, Xinchuan Fenghuazi immediately raised a sincere and proud smile.
The three royal families of Xin, Da and Ya are now almost obedient to Ya Yinyue, and even Di Lie is a loyal subordinate of Ya Yinyue.
"Speaking of Fenghuazi, I remember that you seemed to despise Xizhou culture in the past. At this time, you have an important task to come to Xizhou, right?" Di Lie bent down slightly and said, "I think you were the same just now, and you didn't have a relationship with Xizhou at all. The appearance of high-level relations from all walks of life is obviously a pretext for you to come to the Shengluer Kingdom as a military attache. Let me tell you, what is the reason for this time?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm here to complete the task of His Highness Yinyue. The task is to find a man named Li Ergou, capture him, and bring him back to the Dongzhou Empire." Xinchuan Fenghuazi said with a frown. .
"Is it Li Ergou?"
"Do you have any useful information?" Noticing that Di Lie's expression was a little different, Xinchuan Fenghuazi asked immediately.
"No, I just think this man's name is a bit special, that's all." Di Lie seemed to be holding back his smile, "Speaking of what law Li Ergou committed, let our youngest 'shadow' be far away, condescending To be a military attache abroad?"
"The man named Li Ergou will be my husband." Xinchuan Fenghuazi said lightly.
"What did you say?" Di Lie didn't seem to hear clearly.
"I said that the man named Li Ergou will be my husband." Xinchuan Fenghuazi repeated again, "After capturing him, I will take him back to the Dongzhou Empire, and then marry him. There is no right to refuse."
