When Lide stepped into the majestic iron gate, the gate of the iron defense line closed with a bang.
Li De immediately looked at Lord Lingwu, and greeted her with a bright smile:
"I'm back-"
Lord Lingwu didn't look at him, but looked at the tall giant who turned away outside, and replied coldly:
"This time, you did a good job. You risked your life to negotiate this cooperation, and helped Lingwu completely solve our worries. Lingwu will give you the necessary rewards."
Chocolate also had a small face, and nodded on Lord Lingwu's head.
Lid almost laughed out loud. The Lord of Lingwu was originally very majestic, but there was a child lying on his head, and Lide had close contact with her at the bottom of the sea, so Lide didn't feel scary at all from Lide's perspective. He stretched out his hand, wanting to pinch Chocolate's little face, but Lord Lingwu gave him a hard look.
Lid scratched his head:
"What's wrong with being so serious... Damn! There are so many people. Don't you all have to go to work?"
Li De inadvertently looked aside, and saw countless civil servants and generals standing on both sides of the iron gate, as well as armored soldiers standing still, all of them were staring at him. Because he was blocked by the tall iron wall before, Li De thought that no one was there, but after thinking about it carefully, according to this woman's cautious character, even if she wanted to make the kind of single-handed behavior just now, she must have a backup .
Otherwise, if Kronos really planned to take a desperate fight and attack while the iron wall was open, wouldn't the unsuspecting territory be left to be eaten by mermaids. She must have made several plans from the beginning, even if there was a fight from that side, she still had the strength to resist.
It's just that Li De was very embarrassed, the hand he just extended was hanging in the air, facing the cold eyes of the civil and military courts in the Lingwu Territory, he finally withdrew his hand. I said in my heart that it is useless for you to stare at me. I have already touched the places under the sea that should be touched, and this time is not bad.
Lord Lingwu completely ignored the change in his demeanor, turned around coldly, and the red dress that had returned to its original length floated up, and the phoenix embroidered with gold thread on the clothes seemed to be about to soar into the sky. She just said quietly:
"gone back."
The soldiers in iron clothes all pulled out their spears stuck in the ground, and responded with a loud voice. The three guards of Sun, Moon and Yin moved first, and the guards were at the side of Lord Lingwu. War Ghost and the commander of Yinwei gave Lide a deep look when they passed by him, as if they wanted to dig something out of him. The information is the same, on the contrary, the sun has never met Lide head-on before, and there is only a bit of curiosity in his eyes.
A few days ago, Lord Lingwu returned suddenly, and the atmosphere in the entire territory changed drastically.
The original intrigue suddenly disappeared, and this huge war machine began to run rumblingly again. In fact, the Lingwu Territory itself also bears the shadow of a giant race. Its internal development is extremely unbalanced. The limited resources are almost all given to the army, so it can't stop for a moment, and must constantly find new opponents.
The first thing the Lord of Lingwu did when he came back was to order the demolition of the [Fortress of Rejection North] between Lingwu Territory and Guye Territory.
Li De had seen it when he came to Lingwu, and it could basically be said to be a ruin. Back then, Lingwu was canonized outside the Great Wall, and this old fortification has never been used since then—in other words, its mission now has become to resist Lingwu going south. The north character of "Rejecting the North" has long since ceased to refer to the giant race in the north, but to the Lingwu Territory north of the fortress.
Dismantling this old antique is another signal sent by Lord Lingwu to the world.
She has come back. With what he wanted, and with infinite hatred for the Eternal Heaven King's family, he came back again.
The purpose this time is King's Landing, a long-term rule, and an unshakable hegemony!
Lide followed behind the army, watched them support the woman, and suddenly sighed softly. Whether in the territory of the giants or in the secret place under the sea, although Yu Qingzhao remained calm, he only had that high-spirited feeling when he was here.
The biggest confidence in the Lingwu Territory is her, and her confidence actually comes from the Lingwu Territory.
Li De followed the officials all the way to the south, walking through the deserted streets. Heavy snow fell one after another, even though it was already spring in terms of time, the entire Lingwu was still chilled by the cold wind. No one spoke, only the sound of footsteps colliding with the iron armor remained crisp and clear.
In the end, the army was stationed near Geya, and Lide followed the civil servants and generals to the simple but spacious hall.
Lord Lingwu sat on the throne, and the atmosphere sank again. Civil and military officials lined up on both sides, leaving only Lide standing in the center of the hall. He didn't know whether he should kneel now according to Lingwu's customs, but since no one asked, he thought it was better for him to stand.
In the silence, Lingwu leader insisted to speak, and said:
"Li De, the lord of Yuxi City, served me well in escorting me to the north. Commander Yinwei, you pick a set of daggers and a sword from the treasury, and count it as a reward for him."
This reward is not heavy, but it is impossible for Lord Lingwu to give him something particularly valuable in front of so many people. The two wanted to get rid of their relationship with each other. One didn't dare to give more, and the other didn't dare to take more. The gift sent by Lord Lingwu was not so much for him, but for Hilo and Alayah.
The commander of Yinwei took a step forward and bowed his head to accept the order.
This is also Lide's first experience of Lingwu's court meeting, and this woman's absolute control over the huge territory. But if he had to choose, he still prefers the atmosphere of Yuxi City, where everyone can talk, instead of the current situation where people under the throne are like wooden stakes.
Lord Lingwu rewarded some money and jewelry, and then arranged several decrees in front of Lide, most of which were about the rules and regulations for the giants to work. Lingwu's productivity is not bad, but with the help of low-level giants, it will definitely be improved to a higher level. The saved young and middle-aged labor force can join the army to make up for the huge casualties that occurred during this northward journey.
To Lide's confusion, Lord Lingwu immediately announced the end of the meeting after speaking, and then left alone.
As long as she ran fast enough, Lid was still immersed in thinking about the laws and regulations she announced, and he didn't even have time to ask her if she forgot something. After all, the business with the Giants was negotiated by myself, so it would be too unkind to just cut it off without saying a word
But before Lide could catch up, the commander of Riwei had already stepped forward, stood in front of Lide, and said:
"Your order is to rest behind closed doors for the next ten days. According to your order, I will send the city owner of Yuxi City to a nearby inn to rest. After the hidden guard brings the reward, the city owner can go south on his own. The people waiting at the North Inn will meet up and return to their territory."
Li De looked at the place where the Lord of Lingwu disappeared, and originally wanted to complain, "I have made contributions to Lingwu, and I have shed blood for the king, you can't do this to me, I want to see it clearly", but after thinking about it carefully Suddenly understood something, blinked, coughed twice and said:
"Then I will trouble General Riwei to lead the way."
"please."
Li De turned and left. Before leaving the hall, he looked back at Lingwu's throne.
Ten days, according to that woman's strength, it's not a big problem to go back and forth to the North Inn.
There are too many people here, so pick a good place to talk...
But does this feel like a private meeting? Does she come during the day or at night, do you want to keep the door open for her
It's exciting to think about.
