Chapter 929: Special Envoy
When the envoy of the Golden Eagle Country came to White Rock City, it was already late autumn. For the envoy, a visit to White Rock City was not a particularly difficult thing to do. In fact, the reason why he came to White Rock City this time was to escort the grain on the one hand, and on the other hand, he wanted to make a request to White Rock City on behalf of the Golden Eagle Country, and all the grain this year should be handed over fifty percent.
It's not that the country of the Golden Eagle is greedy, but because just a few days ago, the country of the Golden Eagle suffered a plague of insects, and all the food that was about to be harvested was eaten by the insects. Although it is said that the country of the Golden Eagle still has grain in stock, if the share of grain handed over is not increased, then the country of the golden eagle will also be hungry.
As for where those bugs came from......... It's self-explanatory.
To tell the truth, when he came along the way, the envoy was still a little worried about what to do if Baishi City couldn't get food, after all, this insect plague was heard to be widely implicated, and several countries that submitted to the country of the Golden Eagle were affected, and several countries did not even wait for the country of the Golden Eagle to collect grain, but sent people to beg the country of the golden eagle to give them some food. If White Rock City is like this, then he will be running for nothing.
Fortunately, however, the envoy was reassured by the scenes along the way, and as far as the eye could see, the fields were full of harvesting crops and golden ears of wheat piled up. It looked so dazzling in the sunlight, which also made the envoy feel relieved. It seems that the situation on the side of White Rock City is not bad, of course, he also sent someone to inquire, and heard that White Rock City has also suffered from the disaster, but a great mage suddenly appeared and helped them drive away the damn insects, and also made the crops in the field that had been eaten by the insects grow again.
The envoy just scoffed at this rumor, such a thing is a joke at all, whether it can drive away the insects or not, it is impossible to say that it can make the eaten crops grow again! These farmers don't know what kind of madness they have, and they can even say such nonsense. None of this had anything to do with him, though, and the only thing the envoy had to do at the moment was to go to White Rock City and negotiate with King Lalit about the surrender of the grain.
Soon, the envoy and his party came to the outside of White Rock City, but what happened next surprised the envoy of the Golden Eagle Country. Originally, he thought that after learning of his arrival, King Lalit should send a team of people to meet him, even if he did not come to greet him personally. But what he didn't expect was that after he identified himself, the guards just made a notification and didn't react. And the city gate was also tightly closed, and there was no intention of opening it at all. Only the small door next to it is open, which is completely inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette, according to reason, another country has sent an envoy, how to say that there should be at least diplomatic etiquette!
At the beginning, the envoys of the Golden Eagle Kingdom were able to wait patiently, but wait, wait, wait, This is enough to choke the envoy of the Golden Eagle Country, and he can be sure that this is definitely the other party's intention to rectify himself. Not only that, but the eyes of the civilians who came in and out next to them also made the envoy of the Golden Eagle Country about to go crazy, as the envoy of the Golden Eagle Country, he was not held by others in any country, and now he was thrown aside like this without looking at it, not to mention that the other party was still their defeated men!!
Just a defeated general, dare to toss me like this?
Thinking of this, the special envoy also secretly made up his mind that this time he would negotiate and increase the share of grain to be handed over by Baishi City to 80 percent -- no, 10 percent!!
When the sun was about to set, at last, a group of knights slowly came to the door, and then saw the knight at the head saluting the envoy.
"Hello, Mr. Envoy, welcome to White Rock City."
"Is that how you received an envoy?"
After being hung outside for a day, the envoy at this moment was also full of anger in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't bring many people with him this time, and he couldn't attack Baishi City here for this reason, I'm afraid he would have ordered a duel with Baishi City a long time ago. The glory of the country of the Golden Eagle, how can these hillbillies tarnish it?!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Envoy."
In the face of the envoy's questioning, the expression of the knight at the head did not change in the slightest, and it was just a routine matter.
"Because Your Majesty is busy, we didn't have time to report this matter, so we kept you waiting, now, please come with us........."
As he spoke, the knight looked up and glanced at the soldiers behind the envoy.
"Also, to be on the safe side, ask these soldiers of yours to wait outside the city."
"You're ――――――!!"
Hearing this, the envoy's face turned pale with anger, this blatant mockery made him almost unbearable, he couldn't even bring his own soldiers into the city, how dare these people do this? Are they crazy? This group of people, they are provoking the supreme dignity of the country of the Golden Eagle!!
For a moment, the envoy even wanted to just turn around and leave, go back and report everything that had happened to the Emperor, and ask him to send a large army to kill all these bastards. However, as a diplomat, he also knew very well that he was not here to quarrel with White Rock City this time, but to collect grain. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that Baishi City is unwilling to hand over the grain, so he deliberately embarrass himself. But in any case, the grain handed over was already written on paper, and the two sides had signed a treaty in this regard, and no matter how dissatisfied White Rock City was, they had to abide by the treaty. Otherwise, what will greet White Rock City will be the thunderous wrath and war of the Golden Eagle Country!
Thinking of this, the envoy forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, then turned around and motioned for his guards to rest in place outside, and then tidied up his clothes, and then walked into White Rock City with a cold face, and went to the palace under the escort of the knights.
And in the royal palace, the envoy finally met King Lalit.
It's just that His Majesty doesn't look like he's busy at all, on the contrary, he's eating meat and drinking wine at the moment, and there are singers next to him, which looks like a scene of enjoyment. Seeing this scene, the anger that the envoy had suppressed rose again, but he still forcibly stepped forward and saluted the other party without being salty.
"Hello, His Majesty King Lalit."
"Oh, hello."
Hearing the envoy's greeting, King Lalit glanced at him with drunken eyes, then nodded.
"So, do you have something to do here?"
"What's the matter?"
The envoy was stunned when he heard King Lalit's words, but he quickly gave an answer.
"Your Majesty King Lalit, according to the treaty signed between our two countries, White Rock City should pay us thirty percent of the grain you harvest this year, and I, on behalf of His Majesty the Supreme Emperor of the Golden Eagle Country, have come to collect the grain!"
At the end of his sentence, the envoy couldn't help but raise his voice, showing his anger.
"Your Majesty, you must be ready?"
"Grain?"
Hearing the envoy's inquiry, King Lalit narrowed his eyes and tilted his head for a moment to reminisce, then he looked up at the envoy and smiled.
"Nope."
Then King Lalit replied categorically. (To be continued.) )
