Realm of Power

416 Prisoners of Yunzhong City (2)

"Don't you think it's too strange for a Guards Corps commander to be appointed as a representative of the trade mission?" After Sehursli was silent for more than ten minutes, she looked at Duo Weiyan with bright eyes and decided to give a heads up. This honest young man

"Well, is there any problem with this?" Duo Weiyan's face was blank. She didn't know what the queen wanted to explain.

In the Kugit court, it was common to appoint a well-known general as a negotiator. After all, the Kugit people are a nation that advocates military power.

A royal court composed of tribal chiefs and brave warriors is a convincing structure.

As for the so-called political officer, it is just a decoration. The tribe is the center of power. No one likes a guy who has no ability but likes to stand on top and point fingers.

Sese Husli looked at the silly Duo Weiyan in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, as if she remembered some interesting memories, her eyes were blurred, and she sighed secretly in her heart,

Fifteen years have passed, and the men of Kujit are still so stupid.

The young Duo Weiyan in front of her overlaps with a young shadow in Sesehuerli's mind.

Once upon a time, there was such a silly man who was fooled around by him. He held himself in his hands like he was protecting his precious eyes.

At that time, her name was Princess Sesehurli.

Time is like a shadow, 15 years have passed by in a hurry

The foolish man back then has now become a king sitting high on the throne.

But she is wearing the queen's gorgeous crown,

Like a forgotten shadow, he has become the biggest prisoner of this city in the clouds

"Your Majesty the Queen, I still don't quite understand what you mean..." Duo Weiyan shook her head. The upright Duo Weiyan couldn't understand Queen Sesehurli's reminder.

Queen Sesehurli sighed, realizing that it was the same before and it is still the same now.

Explaining to the straightforward Kugit man what planning, testing and layout are is simply a torture that makes people age prematurely.

These prairie men only have machetes and war horses in their minds. Sehurli shook his head.

Fortunately, I gave birth to a daughter. If those people knew that the son of my prairie succubus Sese Hulli had this kind of virtue, it would be better to kill him head-on.

"Don't you think this suspension of operations is so timely and appropriate?" Sesehurli said, "Negotiations were carried out on the same day and operations were suspended that night. How could a general of a trade mission have such powerful power? .

Regarding the question raised by Sehursli, Duo Weiyan couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and a light flashed in his mind. Yes, there was just a negotiation one day, and the caravan embargo appeared the next day. This reaction was too much. A complete ban on caravans is coming soon. It is not as simple as ordering an army. It requires not only the cooperation of the business alliance, but also enough prestige to convince the caravans.

"Is that person there..." Duo Weiyan is also a smart person after all. He immediately understood the problem from the queen's words. Such a fierce counterattack really looked like the style of a fat man.

Seeing Duo Weiyan's eyes getting brighter and brighter, Sesehuerli knew that the young man had finally reacted. She changed the subject and suddenly asked about the situation of her daughter Sceris.

"Your Highness the Princess is very good. It's just that some time ago, the Princess was too willful and even burned Mount Rudato without authorization, cutting off the retreat of the 90,000 defenders of Aichemore.

In order to calm the anger of many tribes and show the justice of the royal court, King Khan has ordered her to be imprisoned in the Tower of Eternal Life for a month to pray for the 90,000 besieged tribesmen."

"Tower of the Immortal Monument," Queen Sesehurli exclaimed in a low voice, clenching her fingers tightly, her face becoming increasingly pale, and her gorgeous eyes dimmed a bit.

The Immortal Monument Tower is a towering black basalt pillar at the top of the holy mountain Hylar.

All Kugit people believe that this stone pillar standing on the top of the holy mountain is the last residence of the souls of the grassland people, because it is the closest place to the sky.

The Kugit people are not the original inhabitants of this continent. Legend has it that the history of the Kugit ancestors in another foreign continent and the method of their return are recorded on the Immortal Monument Tower.

The entire Kugit royal court was built based on this stone pillar, which shows that the Immortal Monument Tower holds a grand place in the hearts of the Kugit people.

"That child has suffered so much for the sake of the royal court."

Mother and daughter are connected, Sesehuerli still bites her lips with her teeth, even though everything was planned by herself,

But whenever she thinks of her daughter, who is kneeling alone in front of the dark Immortal Monument Tower to pray for blessings, Sesehurli feels a vague heartache in her heart.

"Take this, and I will authorize you in the name of Queen Kugit. The conditions for the opening of the eastern part of the Vekians can be agreed to, but we need to talk to Falcon first."

With a serious look on her face, Sesehuerli took off a black stone ring engraved with strange patterns from her middle finger.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Duo Weiyan knelt down on one knee in fear, held it up with both hands, and took the inconspicuous but unusually heavy black stone ring from Queen Sesehurli's hand.

Duo Weiyan's heart was beating fiercely, and the palm holding the stone ring was trembling slightly. It was carved from the most noble material at the base of the Immortal Monument Tower.

There are only two in the entire Kugit Khanate.

One is in the hand of King Khan, and the other is in his own hands. In the hearts of the Kugit people, it represents irresistible supreme authority.

After sending away Duo Weiyan, Queen Sesehurli once again looked like a beautiful doll. All her charm disappeared in an instant, leaving only a silly woman sitting on the rug in a daze.

Duo Weiyan's negotiations started again amid difficulties,

Led by guards dressed as mercenaries at a nearby intersection, Duo Weiyan walked into a dilapidated small hotel located on the lower floor of Yunzhong City with a melancholy look on her face.

He also had doubts about Queen Sehursli’s suggestion.

"Directly request to talk to Wikiya Falcon." Duo Weiyan thought about what she said when she left Anlun Palace, and felt anxious in her heart. She felt that it was too hasty for her to suddenly make such a request.

Konoe took him to a small corner room on the second floor of the hotel and left.

Duo Weiyan touched his sensitive nose with his hand. The dull air made his nose itchy.

He looked at his surroundings curiously. Several old and faded four-corner chairs were placed near the windows. The white window surrounds were half hung.

The golden sunlight shines in from the umbrella-shaped top window with a silver frame, forming bright spots on the withered floor.

An old oil painting hangs on the smoky wall

I really can’t see anything special here, Duo Weiyan thought to herself. Apart from the relatively comfortable environment in front of her, the only thing left in the whole room was an outrageously large oil painting.

The cheap paint and poor painting techniques showed that this was a defective product bought from a grocery store.

Duo Weiyan didn't know what the Wikiyan people would do to reject his invitation to negotiate in the second-floor aristocratic area, and insist on negotiating in this old two-story hotel.

After a while, Hu Keqi, who was in the last negotiation, pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

"Dear Lord Duoweiyan, has the royal court already given a reply to our proposal?" Hu Keqili asked Duoweiyan to sit down on the chair by the window with enthusiasm, and said calmly,

There was no hint of urgency on his face, and there was a warm smile at the corner of his mouth.

If he hadn't specifically investigated the details of Hu Keqili, it would be difficult for Duo Weiyan to think of the kind-faced middle-aged man in front of him, with a bit of simplicity in his face.

Connected with the general of the Guards who charged on the battlefield and killed many people,

"General, I hope there will be a clear result this time." Duo Weiyan hesitated for a while, then decided to follow the queen's suggestions and directly put forward his request.

Duo Weiyan looked serious and said, "Opening up the eastern grassland is a major event that may shake the status of the royal court, so I hope you can show enough sincerity."

"Sincerity?" Hu Keqili looked stunned for a moment, the smile at the corner of his mouth disappeared, and his voice became colder.

"Do you think that when the Kujit Khanate needed help the most, I, Wikiya, sent a large number of caravans to transport endless supplies to Yunzhong City despite wars, bandits, and hurricanes that could be encountered at any time? Called insincere?

Hu Keqili paused and said with a serious face, "We just hope that the Khanate can open up a trade route. Is such a request wrong?"

"But you, Wikiya, also made a lot of money this time, because we paid a high price for it..." Duo Weiyan whispered with an embarrassed look on his face.

"What do you mean, sir?"

Hearing Duo Weiyan's words, Hu Keqili stood up with an angry expression, slapped his hands on the table, pretended to leave his seat, and said loudly

"Do you think that no one wants my supplies in Wikiya? To tell you the truth, if these supplies were sold to the Redians in Aichmore, the price would definitely be doubled."

"General, please don't misunderstand." Duo Weiyan saw Hu Keqili's tough posture and said,

"I just can't understand some things. The most caring general of the Guards around the Grand Duke of Vecchia suddenly appeared in my Cloud City on behalf of a trade mission without any warning. Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

"I don't understand what you mean. Do you have doubts about my identity? If so, you can send someone to Wikiia to check."

Hu Keqili heard Duo Weiyan's words. Although his mouth was strong, his body still paused slightly, which made Duo Weiyan's eyes light up.

"As expected." Seeing the sudden change in Hu Keqili's expression, Duo Weiyan's heart dropped.

It seems that the queen's guess is good, that person may really be in Yunzhong City.

Otherwise, Hu Keqili, a well-known Guards general in Wikiya, would not have nothing to do and come to the Kugit grassland to engage in business negotiations.

Time was running out, and Duo Weiyan didn't want to continue talking nonsense.

Thinking of the queen handing over the power to him before leaving, Duo Weiyan felt confident in her heart and mustered up the courage to say, "Let me tell the truth. Opening up the eastern grassland is not a big deal, but we need to talk to the real person in charge. Otherwise, even if the royal court will do it, Even if you kill me, I will never talk about it again.”

When it came to this matter, Hu Keqili also knew that he could not hide it. He was silent for a while, stood up and whispered a few words to the guard on guard. The guard nodded and hurried away.

Soon, a black carriage stopped in front of the small hotel.
