When the spring flowers faded, the armies of the Mao Empire and the Shansha Empire had already arrived at the Wind and Rain Castle. All the preparations were made. The only thing left was, of course, to occupy the open-door Shansha Empire.
No one thought that Julande, the king of the Mayo Empire, would actually play a prank. Although Beeri, Saul and others thought that Alice would be resistant and suggested that Julande handle it with caution, Julande seemed to Not only did Alice look dumbfounded by the successive orders she issued, but even Bailey and Thor didn't react for a long time.
The right minister of the empire had been deprived of his title by Julande because of his poor handling of the taxation issue, was demoted to a civilian, and was finally imprisoned in prison. On the surface, Julande was trying to scare the monkeys, and he did not do it thoroughly. Killing people is more of a deterrent! In fact, this reflects Julande's strong and soft character. After all, the right prime minister has served the country for many years. Because of some logistical problems, he killed people in the name of delaying military affairs. It is easy to say but not easy to say. Some people with evil intentions can use this matter to vilify Julande. Besides, there is no big difference between killing and being imprisoned in prison. What kind of place is prison? All it takes is a look from Julande, and the Prime Minister may die of an illness for no apparent reason. Each field has its own mysteries. It is not difficult for the jailer to torture a prisoner to death for no apparent reason.
The first order Juland sent to Alice was to appoint Alice as an honorary grand duke. Bailey and Thor were a little surprised, and Alice was also rude. She was not grateful to Juland, but suspicious of Juland. She wanted to use this method to lure herself to the Holy City, so she hurriedly found An Fei to discuss it.
An Fei didn't think there was anything wrong with Yolander's canonization, but he couldn't convince Alice. Most women become extremely stubborn when they are suspicious. Just trust your gut. The two people discussed for a long time but failed to come up with a result. At this moment, Julande's second order came. The Shansha Empire originally had seven large provinces. Yulande decided to keep it unchanged and change the Shansha Empire. The capital of the empire was renamed the Central Province. And appointed Alice as the administrative governor of the eight provinces. In other words, Julande asked Alice to be a king who is not a king. Of course, the so-called administrative governor does not include areas with military power.
Alice became an idiot for a long time. In the end, An Fei slapped her several times to wake her up. She really couldn't understand why Yolande valued her so much.
Alice wanted to refuse, but these things were too heavy for her to refuse, not to mention that Julande made it very clear in the appendix letter. When the two countries are reunited, he will treat everyone as equally as possible, but the people below may not do what he says. Instead, they will regard themselves as occupiers and even commit various evil acts. The only way to protect the people of Shansha to the maximum extent is to select a person who is capable, understands the inside story of Shansha, and can gain the trust of Julande. In addition to these, there is another necessary condition. This person must There is some foundation within the Shansha Empire, which can at least be recognized by the common people and some nobles. Only in this way can government affairs be handled effectively. Alice understands that she is the best choice. She has all these points, but she has deep doubts about whether she has gained the trust of Julande. Alice does not believe that two people who have never met can do anything. They will trust each other, but if it were anyone else, who could compare with Alice
Since she is the administrative governor of the eight provinces of Shansha, Alice naturally does not need to return to the Holy City. This was a temporary relief, but a few days later, a shocking news came from the Holy City. After Julande's orders were announced, a great disturbance was caused in the Holy City. Many officials and nobles were I think Yolande must have been bewitched by An Fei. Give the Sand Sand Empire to Alice. Didn't all the sacrifices made by countless soldiers go to waste? What is the point of this war
Many nobles united and targeted An Fei. A fierce attack was made. In fact, An Fei was wronged. He did nothing, but the nobles had their own ideas. An Fei and Alice were both the creators and controllers of the Mercenary Kingdom Alliance, and they cooperated with each other. For a long time, An Fei deliberately concealed Alice's identity, and now he jumped out to ask for credit for Alice, and even asked Yolande to hand over the entire Shansha Empire to Alice. This couple is going too far!
A large area of newly occupied land means that a large number of new nobles will be born, and it also means that their land, wealth and slaves will increase exponentially. When the news of the victory came, all the nobles were overjoyed. He even collected information about various provinces of the Shansha Empire and planned how to build his own new paradise on the other side of the continent. Yolander's appointment was like a sap, which blinded them all. The anger was as great as the disappointment. A person who wanted to take back all the benefits was unforgivable and must be defeated resolutely!
An Fei felt dumbfounded by this. He didn't know what happened next. After the army left, it had temporarily cut off contact with the Holy City. Unless it was an emergency, a special person would deliver the news.
Outside the Wind and Rain Castle, Beeri found everyone together, including Marino, and made the final preparations before the expedition. When An Fei heard that he was going to have another meeting, he gave a random reason, turned around and ran away, going around to the outer camp. , saw Simpera leading the mercenaries setting up a camp, Alice was hiding behind a tree and peeking at something, with a strange expression on her face.
Out of curiosity, An Fei quietly walked over. From a technical point of view, An Fei did an impeccable job. He didn't make any sound and even held his breath. But when he stopped behind Alice and stretched out his head, When looking down, Alice suddenly noticed it and hurriedly closed the thing in her hand.
"Ahem...what are you looking at? So focused?"
"You want to see?"
"Is it convenient?" An Fei saw clearly that there was a letter in Alice's hand. He was a little surprised. Who would write to Alice
Alice handed the letter over. An Fei opened the letter, read only two lines, and hurriedly closed it: "Is this a love letter? Forget it... I'll give it to you."
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Alice's face turned a little red: "This is the place sent to me by your eldest prince West of the Maho Empire."
"Vester? West wrote to you?"
"What's wrong?"
"Then I want to take a look!" An Fei opened the letter again and read it carefully.
"I didn't expect West to be a very talented person." Alice smiled and said, "His writing is very beautiful, isn't it?"
"Are you kidding? Youmei?" An Fei read the letter at a glance and raised his head: "This is disgusting! It seems that I have known you for many years, and... whether the letter was written by him is also a question."
"An Fei, do you know West?"
"I had several contacts with him when I was in the Holy City."
"What kind of person is he?" Alice asked An Fei, but her eyes fell in the distance.
"You really want to hear my opinion?"
"Yes."
"He is not a good person!" An Fei sneered: "He definitely has no good intentions when he writes to you!"
"You seem angry?" A flowery smile bloomed on Alice's face, and she turned around and looked at An Fei seriously.
"Angry..." An Fei felt that this statement was a bit wrong, but when he thought about West's possible intentions, he felt really angry: "Yes, I am indeed very angry. That little beast actually wants to have sex with me." You're playing this trick!" An Fei looked at the letter in his hand, tore it into pieces in front of Alice, and threw it on the ground.
Alice didn't try to save the letter, she just looked at An Fei with a smile: "West is the eldest prince, and you actually called him a little beast? Then..."
"Alice, I'm not kidding!" An Fei said seriously.
"I understand." Alice nodded: "I will never collect such messy things again."
An Fei blinked. This feeling... seemed not quite right again. He quickly changed the subject: "Alice, who gave you this letter?"
Alice raised her chin forward, and An Fei looked in the direction: "Ximpela?"
"She found it outside my tent this morning."
"Unexpectedly, West's people are hanging around us." An Fei sneered again.
An Fei's emotions were a little exposed at this moment, but he couldn't be blamed, West had violated his instinct! It's not that An Fei regards Alice as his forbidden love, but there are many reasons.
Alice is not only his good friend, but also his most capable assistant. But now the situation has changed dramatically. Alice will become the administrative governor of eight provinces in the future. It is impossible for a governor to manage the mercenary group for anyone. Thinking of this, An Fei It's always a little uncomfortable and a little sad. I was already in a bad mood, and West's actions only added fuel to the fire.
"What's so strange about this." Alice smiled and said, "Look over there. There are tens of thousands of people gathered together. Isn't it easy to put a few people in?"
An Fei frowned slightly and remained silent.
"However, he can be close to my tent. He should be a general with some status, or he may be a mercenary under Ximpela." Alice looked at An Fei: "Are you sure to get to the bottom of it?"
"Of course we have to check." An Fei said slowly: "The messenger can get close to you, but what about the assassin? Have you forgotten the last time?" As soon as the words came out, An Fei immediately regretted it. Which pot! Unfortunately, he couldn't take it back.
