Hearing Li Yi's words, the old general couldn't help but feel another burst of approval. Then the general said: "I didn't expect you to have this kind of entanglement with Kara before, and if you are still allowed to stay in the imperial capital now, it will definitely be a lot of trouble." A few days ago, a magic crystal mine was discovered in Wu'an Kingdom, and the imperial capital was ready to send troops to garrison it. If you don't object, I'll send your troops over there to change the guard, and see how it goes. ”
"That's very good, I don't want to be in trouble all the time, so it's up to the general to arrange it."
"Well, it's easy. In a few days, the envoys of Wu Anguo will also come to the court, and then you will go there with them. It's just that Li Yi has to pay attention, after all, Wu'an is only a vassal state of the empire, located on the border of the empire, and there are constant disputes between small countries, and it is not as stable as the imperial capital. You have to be careful when you get there, and don't be careless. ”
Hearing that there might be a war, Li Yi suddenly became interested, and such an arrangement that kills two birds with one stone makes Li Yi still very happy. After a few more greetings with General Luo Ning, Li Yi left the General's Mansion with Alice.
Seven days after General Luo Ning received the arrangement, the envoy of Wu Anguo came to the imperial capital to meet him. During this period, Li Yi's body has basically recovered to heal, and he will monitor the drills of the troops in the Central Army every day, although the knight soldiers under his command who are above the top do not have much awe for Li Yi, but at least they do not have a contempt for Li Yi.
On the day of the arrival of the envoy of Wu Anguo, General Luo Ning also arranged for Li Yi to accompany him to attend the court meeting ceremony held by the imperial side for the envoy of Wu Anguo. The ceremony was held at the Imperial Palace, and the scale of the ceremony was quite grand.
"Alice, I'm going to leave the imperial capital in a few days, it is said that the environment in Wu'anguo is far worse than God's capital, you won't blame me for even affecting you." On the way to the palace, Li Yi asked.
"It's nothing, at least it doesn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun. Besides, I haven't walked out of Tianlan Country since I was a child, so it's good to go out and see it. Alice didn't see the trip as a burden, but was enthusiastic about it.
"That's good, it's just hard for you." Li Yi said sincerely, and sincerely thanked Alice for her understanding.
"Hehe, if you feel that you have treated me badly, you will hand over your monthly salary, maybe I can be happier." Alice said mischievously, and at the same time a brass bell laughed at the same time.
Looking at Alice with a cheerful face beside him, Li Yi felt particularly peaceful. Laughing all the way, the two came to the palace gate leisurely.
Although it has been a while since he came to live in the imperial capital, Li Yi has seen the center of imperial power - the imperial palace for the first time.
The main entrance of the palace is like a small city wall, made of red bricks and red tiles, not only does not look tacky, but more graceful and luxurious.
Showing his regimental token, and after waiting for a brief briefing, Li Yicai and Alice were notified that they were allowed to enter.
Walking around the palace compound, Rao is Li Yi is extremely strong-minded, and he also has a deep feeling about the luxury and atmosphere of this place.
"It's no wonder that most people like to compete for power, and the sense of conquest in being able to sit in such a luxurious palace is self-evident." Li Yi and Alice wandered around and thought to themselves.
There were many guards in the palace, and Li Yi and Alice had already found no less than ten patrolling soldiers before they had gone too far into the palace. The soldiers guarding the palace are all mighty and tall, and they all exude a calm temperament between their gestures, and they are not easy to match at first glance.
Carefully passing through the heavy defense line, Li Yi and Alice walked for nearly an hour before walking to the square where the ceremony was held, which shows the scale of the palace.
When Li Yi and the others walked to the square in front of the main hall, it was already three poles in the sun. The square was bustling with people, most of whom were some of the most prominent figures in the empire. It was not yet time for the court, so the envoy of Wu Anguo did not appear.
"Li Yi, it's really lively here. I don't know if the food will be served in a while, but I'm looking forward to eating the delicious food in the palace. Alice looked at the palace maid who hurriedly walked by beside her, and said excitedly.
Hearing Alice's emotion, Li Yi was speechless for a while. I didn't expect this little girl to come to this kind of place, and what she thought most about was food.
"Hehe, since you want to entertain the envoys of the subject countries, there will naturally be a food supply, and it won't be a loss for your mouth, little gluttonous cat."
"Who is the little gluttonous cat, people are just curious, and want to know what the emperor eats every day, and what is the difference between him and our people."
"What difference can there be, they are all people, and the emperor can still eat gold every day." Li Yi was in a good mood and jokingly said to Alice. "If we can't get enough of it for a while, we can also try to sneak into the palace kitchen, where we will definitely have enough."
"Hey, good idea, you're really bad enough, a big girl like me wouldn't dare to think of such a thing."
"I'll kill you, don't pretend to be pure with me here, you're not kinder than me." Li Yi said with a smile, and did not forget to reward Alice with a violent shudder.
Alice covered her forehead aggrievedly, looked at Li Yi with resentment, and muttered with words in her mouth: "It's not all you who brought me bad, you bad silver." ”
Li Yi was speechless for a while, and his feelings had become an instigator, if he had changed to an uninformed person, seeing Alice's aggrieved and serious expression, he would really believe that Li Yi was a complete bastard, specializing in instigating little Lori. But the sky is above, Alice likes to steal beautiful women's underwear, but she really didn't instigate it.
However, when he thought of Alice's unique "hobby", Li Yi suddenly had a wicked smile on his face, and then said to Alice evilly: "Hey, I heard that the emperor's harem has countless beauties, and there are ...... Uh-huh. Li Yi's words stopped talking, but anyone could hear the evil in his words.
Alice covered her forehead and heard Li Yi's proposal, and her eyes suddenly lit up. even cooperated with Li Yi and showed a wicked smile. "Li Yi, you are still thoughtful. Hehe, it's just that this matter can't be rushed, the palace is heavy, everything has to be done carefully, and we still have to think about it in the long run. ”
Seeing Alice's serious expression, Li Yi really wanted to reward her with another violent shudder. I was just joking, but I didn't expect her to dare to pay attention to the emperor.
Just when the two were talking and laughing, a voice came from behind Li Yi.
"I don't know what interesting things Brother Li and Miss Alice are talking about, can I join in and have a laugh and talk."
Hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but look back. As soon as he turned his head, he saw the second prince Kevin standing not far behind him, looking at him with a smile.
"It turned out that the second prince arrived, hehe, we didn't talk about anything, just some ordinary jokes. (Well, if stealing harem beauties' underwear is a common joke.) How can the second prince have time here, don't you have to entertain distinguished guests? "Li Yi still has a good impression of Kevin.
"Distinguished guests will naturally be accompanied by others, and my father has already arranged for the ministers to receive them. I accidentally found out that Brother Li was also here just now, so I wanted to come over for a get-together. But Brother Li is really outside, not just call me Kevin, why bother to call outsiders the outsider. The words of the second prince Kevin were not leaky, and a few simple words narrowed the distance between Li Yi and himself.
"If it was normal, Li Yi would naturally not meet the second prince. It's just that the occasion is more solemn now, and I'd better not overstep the courtesy of the monarch and ministers. ”
"Okay, then I won't blame you this time, but in the future, if you are still the second prince and the second prince are short, don't blame me for being unkind. Hehe, I really want to make you a friend. Kevin was speaking with great sincerity, and he didn't see the slightest hint of falsehood.
Hearing the word friend, Li Yi's heart couldn't help but tremble. Friend, I haven't had a real friend since I was born. If it weren't for the second prince being in his position, if it weren't for the fact that he had some strength to use, would Kevin still treat himself like he is now. Thinking of this, Li Yi really felt a trace of regret in his heart.
However, Li Yi is not a person who likes to be sad and sad, and after a short period of melancholy, he returned to normal. At least from the current point of view, Kevin is not in any way false, and this is already satisfying to himself.
"Thank you for the love of the second prince, Li Yi can have a noble friend like you, and he also has a light on his face."
"Come less, how can you talk more and more politely. By the way, Li Yi, I heard something. "The second prince, who was still joking, suddenly talked about another thing with a serious attitude." I heard that you were put on a stand by Kara the other day, and you were not lightly injured, is it true? ”
"The second prince is really hand-eyed, and even Li Yi can know this little thing. Yes, I was ambushed by Kara once a few days ago because of carelessness, but fortunately I escaped because of my fate. ”
"Then what are you going to do next, are you going to fight Kara hard, or is there another way?"
"I want to fight, but no matter how strong I am alone, I can't fight such a big family. What's more, my strength itself is limited, and I can't fight if I want to. General Luo Ning also knew about this, and he arranged for me to set off with the envoy of Wu Anguo in a few days, and let me go to the border to hide. ”
"Oh, although this arrangement is good, but you have wronged Brother Li, you can really swallow this breath?"
"What if you can't swallow it, this world will not develop according to your own wishes. Even if I went to the border, I don't think I would be able to adapt to life in the imperial capital. ”
"It's better than guarding against it every day in the imperial capital. If you have any difficulties, just mention them to me, and I won't shirk anything I can help you solve. ”
"Then thank you to the second prince, maybe you will really bother the second prince with some things in the future."
"It's easy to say, you're welcome. But Li Yi, if you are really going to set off with Wu Anguo's envoy, then we may be able to go together. Speaking of this, Prince Kevin suddenly smiled and blinked.
"Huh? How to say this. Li Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Hehe, in fact, if it was just a small mineral found in a subject country, there was no need to summon the envoy at all. It's just that the magic crystal mine discovered this time is extraordinary, and the scholars in the imperial capital estimate that this vein can definitely mine a large number of magic crystals. The magic crystal plays a pivotal role in expanding armaments, which is why the imperial capital will react like this this time. ”
"I see, such a good thing can still be mined in large quantities, and the state should really focus on it."
"Not only that, but in fact, the envoy who summoned Wu Anguo this time actually had other intentions. The state of Wu'an was located on the border of the empire and also bordered the Sayi Empire. In the past, because of these territorial issues, our two countries have been at war many times. Now that such an important vein has been discovered there, we are also afraid that the Sayi Empire will have bad intentions, so we summoned the envoy to give Wu'an Guoan peace of mind and to prove our ownership of the magic crystal mine. ”
"No wonder the imperial capital is ready to send the central army to garrison, it turns out that there is such an intention."
"That's nature, this kind of good thing, how can the empire let it go so easily."
Just as the two were talking, an announcement suddenly sounded in the palace - the envoy of Wu Anguo was presented.
"Let's go, Li Yi, let's go and welcome the guests from afar." Hearing the announcement, Kevin smiled and said to Li Yi.
Under Kevin's stiff pull, Li Yi finally reluctantly agreed that Kevin stood on a relatively high place, which also gave Li Yi the opportunity to observe Wu Anguo's envoy at close range.
I saw a woman of about thirty or so, walking at the front of the Wu'anguo envoy group with a light smile, throwing flattering eyes at everyone with all kinds of charms, without a trace of dignified temperament.
Alice, who was standing beside Li Yi, frowned and said, "Could it be that the woman who walked in the front is the representative of the mission?" How can he look frivolous, how could Wu Anguo send such a person as an envoy. ”
"Miss Alice doesn't know anything, this person's name is Margaret, although she is only a figure from a vassal country of our Tianlan Empire, but her name is spread in the upper class of our Tianlan Kingdom." Hearing Alice's muttering, Kevin whispered on the side.
"What kind of fame is it, I don't think it's going to be a good name." Alice said angrily.
"Hehe, it's not a bad reputation, it's just that this person really has a lot of skills in communication. This person hangs out at various gatherings in the political and business circles, and has a lot of connections with many politicians and tycoons. She is not necessarily the most beautiful at the party, but she must be the most active. ”
"It's just a courtesan, and if I want to do it, I'm sure I can do it." Alice continued to puff up, not knowing why she just didn't have a good impression of Margaret.
"That's nature, and with Miss Alice's beauty, it must be easy to gather thousands of eyes at all kinds of parties." Kevin didn't say much about Margaret, but spoke approvingly about Alice's beauty.
Hearing Prince Kevin's praise, Alice's little face instantly smiled like a flower. looked at Li Yi ostentatiously, with a provocative look, meaning to say, look, my beauty is something that even the prince has to praise.
Li Yi looked at Alice's stinky fart, and hit mercilessly: "What is stinky and beautiful, can you compare with others." If you want to be a courtesan before your body is fully developed, you are not afraid of being mistaken for a minor. With that, Li Yi crossed his arms and looked at Alice's breasts with a wicked smile, and then turned his head to glance at Margaret's breasts.
Although Alice's figure will already be bumpy and curvy. But compared with that Margaret, Alice's was suddenly two sizes smaller. If it is really based on Mary Little's figure, then Alice can really only be regarded as a minor.
Seeing Li Yi's evil smile, he followed Li Yi's eyes and looked out. After seeing Margaret, Alice instantly understood what Li Yi meant. Immediately angry, immediately on the verge of going berserk
