Minte's eyes widened: "How could it be?!" Didn't you hear that the situation has improved before
Jada sighed: "The temples of light in Mengli and Anke City were burned down, and several priests died. There were also riots against the temples in Xiko and Water City. I heard that there were also internal conflicts within the Vana Central Holy See. Several major events happened, so an emergency order was issued three days ago, requiring all citizens to withdraw from the country and completely lock down the country. Over in Siko, there were originally dozens of square kilometers of plains that were Vana territory, but the Central Holy See thought it was difficult to defend. They simply gave up and ordered the citizens living there to retreat to the mountains. Anyone who disobeyed the order was equivalent to voluntarily giving up their Vana nationality. Now a large number of people are migrating urgently, but the unrest in the four places has not completely subsided." He said. He glanced at Mint: "So, even if you go there now, it will be a mess and there may be danger."
Minte's heart is also in chaos now. I didn't expect that the situation would take a turn for the worse within a few days. I wonder if Father Riddle and the others are okay
However, he soon became suspicious again. He didn't know about other places, but Mallory was sitting in Xi'an. How could he let the situation deteriorate to this point? Even if Mallory couldn't stop the Central Holy See's decision, he wouldn't sit back and watch the turmoil happen.
Thinking of this, he felt more at ease and said: "It sounds terrible, but was this news a few days ago? I think that by the time I get there, things will have calmed down. If it is still chaotic, I I went directly to the material supplier, bought something, stuffed it into the ring, and left easily. Even if it’s dangerous, with my skills, can’t I still get out?”
Jada smiled: "That's true." Without stopping, she sat down on the chair, her expression seemed a little tired.
Min Te glanced at him secretly, then pulled out a large wooden box from under the bed, carried it to him, and said: "This is for you. I see that you have been very tired recently. No matter how busy things are, I Again, your health is important." He patted the box and said, "These things may be able to help you, but you'd better not use them every day to avoid your body becoming dependent on them."
Jada was startled, then reached out to open the lid of the wooden box. He found rows of glass vials inside, fifty or sixty in total. He immediately recognized the liquid in the bottle. It was the energy supplement Minte had given him last time: "This is..."
Min Te smiled and said: "I am just pretending to be a public servant. I am using His Majesty the King's materials to make medicine for you. However, His Majesty won't be able to use those magic medicine ingredients. This should be enough for you to use for a few months. You'd better put them in the storage." Keep it in the utensils to prevent it from becoming expired.”
Jie Da had a complicated expression and touched the medicine bottles for a long time. Then he smiled: "Okay, I accept your favor." He put a whole box of medicine into the bronze wristband, then looked up at Minte and said seriously: "We are friends, so I won't be polite to you. Since you are going to Xi'an, just buy more materials and help me make a few boxes when you come back. I will pay the cost." Minte was stunned: "Isn't this enough? Why do you need so much medicine?"
Jada said calmly: "If it is just for handling government affairs, these are more than enough. But I will lead the troops to fight soon, and I will definitely need more medicine then. By the way, didn't you give it to the injured guards and attendants during the two previous turmoils? Do you have a lot of medicine for wounds? Make some for me too, to prepare for the war. If you can't get so many materials, I will send someone to follow you."
Minte's eyes widened: "You want to fight?! Where?!" He immediately became alert: "You don't want to be like Prince Mario..."
Jada smiled: "No. That stupid thing of crossing the territory of one country to fight another country. I won't do it! Even if we fight it, we can't control it for a long time. And that kind of war is too consuming. The country has lost its strength. Now Dinojia cannot afford it."
"Then you want to hit the ground..."
"Don't worry. It's not your hometown. We won't attack your former employer's territory."
Minte's face darkened. If it’s not Wei Sha, it’s not Shaonan. So... is it Vana or their East
Jada seemed a little unhappy to see him. He smiled and said: "I'm not kidding you. Didn't I just say that? Van'a exited the tens of square kilometers of plains west of Xiko. That is right next to our Nuojia. It is also fertile land. Since They gave up. No one lives there. Why don't we get it?"
It's easy to say, but will it be that simple? Myint was very skeptical. Vana is just for national security. After ordering them to withdraw into the mountains, no one knows whether they really gave up the ownership of that territory. Are there any countries in the world that voluntarily give up their territory
Besides, Xiko is located at the center of that plain, which is where the three countries meet. Even if Vana gives up and Noga wants to occupy it, they have to ask them about East first, right? Minte was very sure that his country would definitely object. You must know that east and south of the plain are all East's places, and there is no cover.
So he said: "If you really just want to occupy the land given up by other countries, why do you say you want to fight? Who are you fighting with?"
Jada smiled: "There will always be people stopping me, but it doesn't matter, I've already thought about it. That plain, as well as the southern foothills of Tulei Mountain that now belongs to East, are areas with fertile land and rich water and grass. There are several iron mines at the foot of Thunder Mountain, which is exactly what we need now. There are not many people there, and except for Xiko, which is more lively, they are all remote areas ignored by East. People in East cannot make good use of that land. It would be better for us to occupy it and use it to cultivate food, graze livestock, and forge weapons. The troops in that area are not well-defended. As long as our army doesn't make mistakes, it can be easily defeated."
Minte only felt the anger in his heart burning up little by little. Xiko is only three days away from Medon, where he lived when he was a child. Does Jedda want to occupy the land in that area, does it mean that one day he will also attack Medon, Medon
He said coldly: "Your idea is really good, but East will not be so weak and let you occupy its territory without making a sound."
Jada snorted: "The aristocracy is now in power in East. How could those greedy for life and fear of death rashly start a war with us for more than a hundred square kilometers of countryside? Even if they really send troops to fight back, I won't Give in! The soldiers brought by Prince Mario may not necessarily be loyal to me, but there will never be a problem in fighting foreign countries!"
"Even if some nobles are afraid of death and dare not fight, there will always be people who are not afraid of death to resist you. Besides, if you don't resist at all, you will hand over your country's territory to other countries. The current King of East cannot bear this responsibility. ! That piece of land may be easy to attack, but it is not easy for you to hold it. Be careful that the gain outweighs the loss."
Jada frowned after hearing this: "What's the matter with you? You seem to dislike my plan? That land is indeed easy to attack, but with Xiko as the stronghold, it is not difficult to defend it. Even if you really can't defend it, Once you’ve settled in, it’s easy to return, but the price East has to pay is not small.”
"Price? What price?" Minte stared at him. "Are you planning to plunder all the food, livestock and property, then fill it with dead bodies, destroy the land and turn it into a A place like the Misty Wasteland?!"
Jada's face darkened: "What are you talking about?! Are you questioning me?!"
"Yes, I'm just questioning you. I don't understand why you have this idea. Don't you think that the members of the Noga royal family have warlike blood in their bones and can't feel at ease if they don't invade other countries?! Is it possible that you are the only one who has your majesty? A different place and place?!"
"You say I'm warlike? Do you think I don't want my country to be peaceful and stable forever?!" Jada stood up abruptly and shouted to Minte, "Do you know how many new people our Noga has every year? ?Do you know how much less food we in Nuojia produce every year?! Our land is not suitable for farming. Even if we introduce foreign crops, we cannot get the ideal yield; our land has less and less water and grass, and our annual livestock production The amount of savings is decreasing; we only have four iron mines in the country, half of which are almost exhausted! If we don’t find a way, our people will starve to death sooner or later! No, in fact, some people have already died of starvation. There are hundreds of thousands more The local people don’t have enough to eat or clothing to keep them warm! I’m just trying to keep them alive, is this called war?!”
Minte suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Is there no other way besides invading other countries?! Hasn't Your Majesty already introduced round rice? It may not grow as well as Shaonan's, but at least there is a harvest. , and isn’t Your Majesty planning to buy seeds for trial planting of the corn and wheat that are abundant in the north of East?”
"Then when will it be effective?!" Jada waved her hand fiercely, "And our people will starve to death soon!"
Minte stared at him. He gasped for a few times and then said: "This is nothing to argue about. The land that Vana gave up and the territory that East didn't value was occupied by us. For the two countries, It’s not a big loss, it’s just a loss of face. I will treat the residents there as my own citizens. I just want to treat that area as the granary of Noga. So that our citizens can take a breather! I have already thought out the overall plan, and His Majesty has no objection. We can also use this dispatch of troops to suppress the opposition in the country after Mario's death."
Minte gritted his teeth: "You..."
"Stop talking!" Jada suddenly shouted, startling Minte: "You..."
"I said, don't talk about this anymore!" Jada grabbed his arm and stared directly at him, "I don't want this to affect our friendship, do you understand?"
Minte looked into his eyes and nodded after a while: "I understand."
"Very good." Jada slowed down her tone, "You just need to take good care of His Majesty. If you want to go out for a walk, just go around Nomonka. Xiko...it's better not to go there yet, wait until I conquer that place. , you can take as many materials as you like." After saying that, he smiled, but Minte felt that the smile had some unknown meaning.
After Jada left, he seemed to have lost his strength and sat down on the chair, looking at the other person's back from a distance and the thoughtful look from Shade who was following him when he turned back. He seemed to be too impulsive just now. As a person who was born in southern Weisha and lived in Shaonan for a long time, it seemed that he shouldn't have such a big reaction to Noga's intention to invade East, but he just couldn't control himself. That is his real motherland...
I don't know if Jada saw anything, but he knew in his heart that they were two hostile parties after all, and there could be no real friendship. This time... he really should leave.
Leave and go back to report the news. Mallory and the others must not know about it, right? Since even Gale II has not expressed any objection, with Jada's efficiency, I'm afraid they will take action before long.
Maybe, in the near future! There is a turmoil in Xi'ke. If the Nuojia army enters in the name of quelling the chaos and protecting overseas Chinese, wouldn't it be the best excuse? No, he must leave as soon as possible!
Minte stood up immediately. It was almost evening and the palace door was about to close. At this time, following the ministers leaving the palace would not be too conspicuous. Moreover, the people in the palace would have dinner next, so he could buy some time. .
Wearing the usual uniform of the captain of the guard, he quickly left the king's temporary palace. With his head slightly lowered, he avoided the crowd and walked out as unobtrusively as possible. However, he unexpectedly bumped into Sargent, who had a smile on his face. Sunny greeted him: "What a coincidence, this is the time to go
Minte secretly cried out that he was unlucky, but he said with a smile on his face: "Before it's time to eat, go for a walk in the garden. Where are you going in such a hurry? Sargent Yangyang held a large light blue ball in his hand. Envelope: "I was about to give this to His Excellency the Duke. With it, we won't have to worry about important things. He leaned closer to Minte and whispered: "This is a detailed battle plan left by Prince Mario and Prince Lawler. It happened to be targeting Xi Ke. It was just found from the home of a general who was close to them." I don’t know who wrote the plan, it’s so perfect! Following this action, the East people would not be able to resist at all. "
Seeing Minte's surprised expression, he smiled and stood up straight again, saying: "I will give this to Your Excellency now. He will be very happy. See you later." After that, he walked away.
The look on Minte's face changed. She was dazed for only a short moment, then she immediately turned around and hugged him. She watched him walk into Jada's office from a distance. The two chatted for a few words, and Jada took the hand from him. After passing the document and flipping through a few pages, I was ecstatic.
Minte hesitated for a while, then returned to his room, deciding not to leave yet. That plan...he must get it as soon as possible!
It was midnight, in the dead of night, and most of the lights in the palace had been extinguished. The two teams of soldiers crossed and patrolled the front palace. The palace, which was crowded with people during the day, returned to calm again.
Min Te quietly lurked in the bushes. Seeing the soldier's figure completely disappear behind the corner, he quickly jumped out, ran to the wall on the side of the front palace, opened a window, and climbed in lightly.
Using a small lighting spell, he quickly found Jada's office. He had been here before, and he remembered that important documents were locked in the desk drawer. When he walked over, he saw that the iron lock on it was the same style as the lock on the dark cabinet in Prince Lawler's study that he had seen before. , don’t the people of the Noga royal family know that this kind of lock is actually very easy to open
He took out the thin steel wire and fiddled with it a few times, and the lock fell into his hands. Gently opening the drawer, there were stacks of documents inside. He looked through them carefully, and soon found the light blue envelope, and quickly took it out to look at it.
Huh? Why is there white paper inside
Minte looked over it several times, full of doubts, and was suddenly startled: Could this be a trap? !
The door suddenly opened and the room lit up. Minte looked up suddenly and saw Jada walking in holding an oil lamp. Her face was expressionless and her eyes were dark, reflecting the firelight, which made people feel sad. Chills.
(After being exposed, can Mint escape this test? Please stay tuned, vote, please don’t forget to vote)
