Chapter 99

The carriage galloped along the way on the road of the imperial capital. Both of them were high-ranking officials and generous people. The guards in front of them were so majestic! Roddy was young and lacked patience. He couldn't help but inquire about the words of Earl Mello in the carriage. However, this minister in charge of the imperial finance was extremely cunning, and the method of making a big move was superb. No matter how Roddy tried, he just looked like "he was just assisting the Duke", and he didn't want to reveal his thoughts at all. It seemed that he was also a smart person, knowing that this peace talks were mostly signed a humiliating treaty, and he refused to take the blame for anything he said.

After the carriage stopped, Roddy was stunned when she got off the car. There was a tall building in front of her, and the sound of singing and dancing in the air came from inside. She saw pink sleeves floating, and she actually came to the famous ecstasy cave in the imperial capital!

Looking at the leisurely face of Count Mero, Roddy really didn't expect that he would bring him to this place. You know, Roddy is not a real duke. When he first came here, he followed Count Mero's son Didi and the others. This time he came with Didi's father again, and I couldn't help feeling a little strange in my heart.

Earl Mero, smiling, pulled Roddy and walked in. Ms. Shafi, who had not seen him for many days, immediately rushed out and said all kinds of good words, leading the two into a side pavilion. This side pavilion is on the second floor next to the lobby, facing the lobby, and slowly lowered a roller blind. After the roller pavilion, you can see the singing and dancing performance in the lobby.

Two beautiful beauties served on both sides, holding golden cups in their hands and slowly serving the bright red wine. Earl Mello's expression was relaxed and drank three glasses in a row. Then he scented up on his face and slowly lay on the fur on the ground, watching the maiko performing in the lobby downstairs.

Roddy wondered and said, "Mr. Merro, what are we doing here?"

Merro smiled: "Duke, don't you think this is an excellent place to talk?"

Roddy frowned, looked at the two beautiful women next to her, and said, "I didn't expect that the Count is also a Fengliu character. It's just something I'm concerned about in my heart."

Melo smiled, looked at Roddy, and said lightly: "You and Diddy have come here a hundred times, why should you be so restrained? Besides, I invite you here, it will naturally have a deep meaning, and you will know in a while." After a pause, the count showed a mysterious smile on his face: "I heard that Miss Miao Ge here is your forbidden body, and others can't see it easily. Diddy said that it's only when I come with you that I'm lucky to meet."

Roddy's face turned slightly red. He remembered the promise he had with Miao Ge, and he just didn't say anything.

Merro changed the subject and just talked a little while. After waiting for a while, he heard a commotion downstairs. Then more than a dozen strong men in grassland fur robes walked in. After Ms. Shafi was greeted by a slender old man. The old man was wearing a gorgeous fur and a golden scimitar around his waist. His face was rosy, but his eyes were narrow.

"Look, that's Prince Menon, who was sent to the peace talks in the Great Moon Kingdom this time. He is the younger brother of the king and the uncle of Royantar." Melo smiled slightly, and a hint of pride appeared in his eyes.

Roddy's heart moved, and looked at the people who were coming up the stairs, and whispered: "Uncle Luo Yantar? I don't know if this prince supports Luo Yantar or that Prince Songzan. I heard that the Longtai Gold Point of the Great Moon Kingdom is now in a very fierce battle."

When Mero heard Roddy's words, his face changed slightly, and a trace of splendor appeared in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect that the Duke could see thoroughly. I heard that this prince is loyal to King Dayue. I just don't know which prince he supports. If we can pry a little gap from here, then our peace talks can get a little advantage."

"oh?"

Merro smiled slightly: "This time you made such a fuss in the northwest grassland, the Longtai gold tent was shocked, and the tribe leaders all had their responsibilities, Luo Yantar led his troops ineffectively. Now, Prince Songzan in the Dayue Kingdom gathered a group of tribes to challenge Luo Yantar. King Dayue is old, and his two sons Luo Yantar and Songzan know that whoever can control military power will be the king in the future. The barbarians on their grassland are different from our empire. The future position of crown prince, whoever has more soldiers will be regarded as

.Royantar is the main battle now, and Songzan, who doesn't know what he really thinks in his heart, since he wants to go against his brother, the only way is to make peace. However, they are not stable internally and the empire is not ready for a big battle, so peace must be reconciled. But Luoyantar is a little tougher, Songzan has to be more harmonious. As long as you know which faction this prince is from, we can at least understand the bottom line of their peace talks."

Roddy's heart moved, and he didn't expect that he would say this. He couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect that Lord Mero had an idea in his heart. I asked so much along the way just now, but I was worried."

Mero closed his smile on his face, his eyes fell on Roddy's face, stared at him for a long time, and then slowly said, "Set, the imperial capital is surging now, you and I have to be careful."

"Huh?" Roddy was shocked. He heard Mero stop calling himself "Duke Duke", but shouting the word "Set", and then heard him say such a sentence, and he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Mero smiled slightly, but the smile had a deep meaning: "No matter what the result of this peace talks, it will inevitably bring in a lot of scolding. Your Majesty naturally refuses to bear this dark nest. But who is willing to bear it? I don't want to, but your Majesty ordered me to negotiate, and I can only obey the order."

Roddy's heart moved and tentatively said, "Mr. Merro, what you mean is..."

Merro smiled faintly: "The peace talks between the two countries are of great importance. I am just a small minister of finance and Count. I can't take such a burden. In theory, you don't need to say that the person you rely most on now, Duke, you are still young now, and you are still a little lacking in these things. There is also the Marquis of Carolin. It's just a pity that the Marquis of Carolin is busy and cannot come to preside over the peace talks in person. The Marquis of Marquis suggested to His Majesty that you would hand me such a burden. It really makes me reluctant to do so. But fortunately, Duke, you and I will take on this important task together..."

After saying that, he looked at Roddy with a bright look.

Roddy didn't know how to answer, and he had heard Andy's voice in his mind: "Boy, don't you understand this yet? He was hinting that he was also framed by the Marquis of Old Carolin to host this peace talk. You don't understand this? Now this peace talk is like shit on the roadside, and anyone who sees it will avoid it from afar. He was actually excluded by Carolin to host the peace talk, so he was naturally not the same as that old bastard."

"What should I do?"

Andy's voice was very calm: "You can't trust him easily, try it again."

Hearing this, Roddy understood, cleared her throat, and slowly spoke: "Mr. Merro, Marquis of Carolin is also busy with things, he is in charge of military affairs. It is also an important task."

Mero looked at Roddy, suddenly burst out laughing, with a little sarcastic look on his face: "Set, you just entered the officialdom and actually learned to speak out."

Roddy blushed and whispered: "Mr. Merro, what did you say! I don't understand!"

Earl Mero snorted and said slowly, "I don't blame you. I just brought you here to tell you that we don't have to hide anything from each other. Otherwise, I won't go anywhere else but bring you to this place? To be honest, Marquis Carolin is in charge of military affairs, which is of course important. But now that His Majesty listens to him in everything, he gradually becomes a little too much. After all, he is just a military minister. Do you really think he is the prime minister?"

When Earl Mello said this, although his face looked angry, his eyes were bright and he looked at Roddy with deep meaning.

Roddy didn't expect that he would say this to him directly. After a moment of silence, he slowly said: "Mr. Merro, what does it mean to say these to me?"

"Old guy Carolin is just a military minister. His mind is nothing more than hoping that their Lionheart family can overshadow tulips and become the first family in the empire. Sate, don't you just sit there?"

Roddy nodded, looked at Mero's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Earl Mero, I am just a duke without real power now. I am an authentic layman for what you said..."

"Aside from that time? Seit! I know what you are in Xilin! As early as the time came, others thought you were a playboy, but I didn't believe it! That's why I let Didi approach you... My own son knew in my heart that it was impossible for him to inherit the title in his life. Now it seems that I have not misread anyone after all. I can beat Luo Yantar away and suppress dissidents in Xilin with thunder means. Duke Tulip, why should you be so careful? I told you all the things in my heart today. Don't you believe me?"

Roddy was silent. His heart was extremely complicated. He was really confused about these intrigues in the officialdom. He sighed and said slowly: "Mr. Mero, what do you mean is to defeat the Marquis of Garolin? This is probably not easy."

"Hmph!" Melo smiled coldly: "What is his Lion Heart Family! A few years ago, we had to look at the Tulip Family's face. But taking advantage of the years you are still young, they took the opportunity to persuade him. Garolin placed his nephew into the army and took over the position of commander of the Northwest Legion. In the past two years, I'm afraid the entire Northwest Legion will be his world. Sate, if you don't act, in a few years, I'm afraid... Humph."

Roddy frowned, smiled coldly, and said proudly: "Mr. Merro, you tried so hard to win me against Marquis of Garolin, what do you hope to get?"

Mero smiled gently: "I am the imperial minister of finance, and the title has reached the earl. I will never expect to become a prime minister in my life. I just want my son to have a good future in the future. Humph, I am in charge of the imperial finance for His Majesty. Do I don't know what their Lionheart family is in the army? He regards me as a thorn in his side. Now he can't really do anything to me. In the future... Humph, I'm afraid not only my son, but also my family may not be able to tolerate it!"

At this point, everything that should be said has been said. Mero looked at Roddy in contemplation, smiled slightly, glanced at the deep look just now, and said lazily: "The Prince Mennon of the Great Moon Kingdom must be next door. We might as well go and have a while with him." After that, he pulled Roddy and stood up to the corridor, walking towards a side hall on the left.

There were several grassland warriors in leather robes standing in the side hall, each with fierce looks on their faces. Before the two of them approached, someone immediately shouted: "Go away! Don't come over!"

Roddy was angry and said coldly: "Are the people from the Great Moon Kingdom so arrogant in the imperial capital?"

Merro's expression remained unchanged and said lightly: "They did not defeat the war in the northwest, nor did they lose their troops and generals, so of course they are very confident."

There were guards and warriors beside the two of them, and they immediately rushed forward to face the prairie barbarians and glared. Roddy's Rand guard was the tallest and stood firmly in front of Roddy.

Merrow smiled faintly and said, "Tell your master, the Duke of Tulip and Earl of Merrow are here to meet him."

Before the warriors could answer, a peaceful voice came out in the side hall: "Sir Duke, Earl, please come in."

Roddy didn't even look at the hands of the warriors pressing on the hilt of the knife, and walked in with big strodes.

The Prince Mennon lay lazily on a animal skin. When he saw the two of them walking in, he smiled slightly and said lightly: "You are rude to me, don't be surprised by the two empires." He winked, and the two servants beside him immediately presented two golden cups filled with wine.

"Earl Mero, this must be Duke Tulip. The Duke has a great reputation in the northwest. I didn't expect to finally see him in the imperial capital today." Prince Mennon slowly sat up with a smile on his face, picked up the golden cup in front of him, and said, "This is the fine wine I brought from the Great Moon Kingdom, and the emperor has no one. Lord Duke might as well give it a try."

Before Roddy could speak, a burly and strong man standing behind Mennon said coldly: "Your Highness, our royal wine like the Great Moon Kingdom has always been given to the most powerful warriors! Do they have such warriors in the Empire of Light?"

Roddy's guards all glared at him, and Mero also frowned slightly.

Prince Mennon just smiled slightly and said lightly: "This is General Sag, the commander of the Royal Cavalry of our Great Moon Kingdom."

A personal soldier of the Wolf Tooth Army next to Roddy couldn't help but say coldly: "Captain Commander? Our Duke fought at the Fortress of Watt. Your commander killed two of them. What's the commander..."

Prince Mennon changed color slightly, and his eyes gradually became cold. General Sag shouted loudly: "Okay! I have heard that Duke Tulip is the most powerful warrior in your empire, so I am not convinced! Humph, what is the commander under Luo Yantar? They are all fools!"

As soon as these words were said, a strange color flashed in Mero's eyes and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Prince Mennon deliberately lowered his face and said lightly: "General Sag, we are guests from afar, don't be too presumptuous."

Sag snorted heavily, but closed his mouth, but he couldn't help but look at Roddy with a cold look. He really didn't believe in how powerful this handsome boy could be.

Mero laughed before speaking and said slowly: "Your Highness, our emperor has ordered today that the peace talks of Tulip Duke will also participate. I just saw that the Prince's Palace has arrived here. We will have more to deal with each other in the next few days. Let's have a drink together, and you might as well make friends first."

Seeing Roddy pick up the gold cup, Sag said in a low voice: "Making friends, the imperial people are weak and cannot beat us on the battlefield, so he said he wants to make friends..."

Roddy smiled coldly, slowly put down the golden cup in his hand, and looked at the Sag. Melo coldly, thinking that he might as well take this opportunity to kill the people of the Dayue Kingdom to let them know that they are powerful and will not be of no benefit to future harmony. Then he smiled and put down the golden cup in his hand and said lightly: "General Sag, what do you mean?"

Seeing that his master did not speak, Sagh opened his mouth and said loudly: "The people of your empire are weak and are not worthy of drinking the fine wine of our Great Moon Kingdom! This wine is exclusive to the Wang family, and only the bravest warriors can drink it!"

Roddy was not angry either, but just smiled faintly. He had killed so many people in the northwest. Although he was smiling at this moment, his eyes showed a bit of murderous aura.

Merro said slowly, "General Sager, you keep saying the Warriors. Do you mean that the Duke of Tulip is not worthy of the word "Warriors"?"

"Hmph! Then I have to try it first!" Sager saw that the master still didn't say anything, so he magnified his courage.

Rand, behind Roddy, looked at the guy coldly and said in a silence: "Try it? Our Duke is the number one person in the Imperial Army! What are you? You deserve to fight with our Duke? Who can you be the first in the army of the Great Moon Kingdom?"

The Sager was speechless immediately, and his dark face turned red. Although he was reckless, he knew in his heart that no matter how arrogant he was, he would never dare to shamelessly say that he was the number one warrior in the Great Moon Kingdom.

Mero smiled faintly: "I heard that His Highness the Prince is also a samurai from the Great Moon Kingdom. Our Duke is the commander of the army. It is boring for everyone to drink here. It is better to go to the hall below and let your subordinates compete. It will not be better to deviate from the true nature of a samurai!"

Prince Mennon smiled slightly, showed an arrogant expression on his face, and said slowly: "Since it was the Earl's suggestion, how can we refuse! Our people on the grassland are the most comfortable! Let's go on!"
Chapter completed!
