The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

Xia Zuoyi finally rejected the Pope's proposal.

He was going back to the Grand Duke's mansion to pack his things, and then immediately left the Anas Empire.

After all, the empire will be very chaotic in the next period of time, he has no intention of participating, and it is the right time to take advantage of the chaos and leave here.

But the plan can never keep up with the changes—the port of the empire has been blocked by Orville and Archibald in advance. Without the order of the two of them, no one is allowed to leave the empire by boat from the port.

Not to mention, all the gates that can be entered and exited in the imperial city have already been firmly guarded by the knights and are heavily guarded.

Xia Zuoyi faced Fernandi, who was found from the port, and said, "So, we can't leave the Anas Empire for the time being?"

Fernandi: "Yes, my lord."

"Valk and I have ordered the soldiers to dismantle all the stalls in the port, and the goods for sale have also been moved into the cabin..."

Everything is ready, as long as the order prohibiting ships from leaving the port is lifted, they can travel back to the territory immediately.

Xia Zuoyi frowned.

"Ow."

Xuetuan leaned over gently and gently rubbed the top of the little lord's furry head with his big head to comfort him.

Egg yolk wrapped its long tail around his waist, coal balls and brown sugar stood aside and also surrounded him, feeling that the little lord was beginning to feel a little angry and depressed again.

Xia Zuoyi sighed: "In this case, Fernandi, you order people to go back to the ship to inform Valk and Samuel to keep an eye on the fleet and strictly manage the entry and exit of soldiers and servants."

"Wangcheng is in a state of chaos right now, and it is very likely that someone will take advantage of this opportunity to do something..."

After all, those members of the royal family who once followed King Puli and committed wrongdoings still have family members. It is impossible for them to wait to be captured one by one by the knights of the royal city knowing that they must die.

If they want to escape, they will definitely find a way to do something.

For example, to further create chaos in the royal city, confuse the public, and deceive people.

Or, in chaotic places, some defenses will always be lax no matter how careful they are, and someone may find the right opportunity to hide on the outsider's ship to avoid being hunted.

Fernandi went out with the order, and when he came in again, he was followed by two people - the steward Vincent of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce and the Grand Duke's subordinate Robert.

The two faced Xia Zuoyi and explained their intentions.

Vincent: "The leader will keep you safe within the empire."

"In addition, he wants to personally apologize to you...for everything before...the leader understands that his choice has hurt you to a certain extent."

"If possible, he wants you to be under the protection of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce..."

Robert: "The Anas Empire will be in turmoil for a while."

"During this period, there may be people desperately fighting back, but the Grand Duke's mansion is absolutely safe, and His Excellency the Duke will guarantee that you will not suffer any harm here."

The two looked at each other after speaking, and then looked away as if nothing had happened.

Xia Zuoyi: "..."

He pinched the center of his brows with a headache: "No, I don't need the protection of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce, and I can understand Boli... Mr. Leader's approach..."

"Go back, Vincent."

Vincent: Listen to the strange and distant title of "Mr. Leader"!

——Leader, after you changed your original name, you no longer even have the familiar title of "Boris". It seems that you really have to express your apology to the little lord!

In view of Xia Zuoyi's resolute attitude, Vincent finally bowed respectfully and left the Grand Duke's mansion.

Robert won the initial confrontation without a fight.

Just as he was about to say something, the little lord waved his hand at him.

"You go too."

After Robert said "I hope you have a good rest tonight", he didn't dare to touch the bad luck and turned away.

What Xia Zuoyi thought was right, the Anas Empire was indeed very chaotic.

Ordinary civilians living in the royal city stayed behind closed doors. People did not dare to walk around at will, for fear of being arrested by the knights of the royal city as suspects and thrown into prison for interrogation.

Xia Zuoyi thought that Archibald and Orville would be extremely busy during this period, but he accidentally saw Archibald on the second day at the Grand Duke's mansion.

——He obviously had a hard time finding time to come here.

Archibald hasn't closed his eyes to rest since last night, his blond hair is a little messy, wrapped in a bit of cold air that hasn't receded in the morning and a bit of bloody smell lingering in his nose...

Xia Zuoyi stared at him: "Aren't you going to say something? Just keep looking at me like this, trying to make me dig something out of your face?"

Xia Zuoyi didn't speak very politely.

Archibald's expression was obviously more gloomy: "Of course I want to say something, I want to apologize to you the most, but I'm afraid you won't accept it..."

His voice was very hoarse.

Of course Xia Zuoyi didn't want to accept it now, so he kept silent.

Archibald had too much to say to the person in front of him, but he also had more to deal with right away.

So after being relatively silent for a while, he handed a badge representing the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce to Xia Zuoyi.

"What is this for?"

Archibald: "I know you want to leave the empire the most now. With this badge, the royal knights guarding the port will no longer block your fleet."

"But be careful not to reveal the news in advance...to prevent someone who wants to board your ship secretly..."

Xia Zuoyi finally reached out and took the badge of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce. It was heavy, and the word "Abel" was engraved on the back.

Obviously, this is also a badge representing the status of a leader. It is not difficult to imagine what can be done in the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce with this badge.

Archibald finally left before saying: "I hope that after the affairs of the empire are all over, you can welcome me to go to your territory to express my apology in person."

Xia Zuoyi sat on the sofa and watched his back disappear through the door.

A bunch of fluffy ones lying on their stomachs or lying on the ground, Brown Tang jumped onto the sofa and lay beside Xia Zuoyi with his small size, and put his round head on his lap, turning his body slightly , revealing a soft belly.

Xia Zuoyi put her hand on it and rubbed it, Brown Tang narrowed her golden eyes, and flicked her gradually long tail.

A soft belly makes people feel happy.

After a while, Judit, who had just gone out to see people off, came in again, followed by Orville.

Xia Zuoyi: "...Did you and Archibald make an appointment?"

Orville looked at Xia Zuoyi suspiciously, and then involuntarily set his eyes on a pile of furry bodies, and said, "I did see Archibald when I came in just now."

"But I didn't make an appointment with him... except for the plan to split the empire."

He added one last sentence: "How do you think the independent territory is called Aqiyayoli?"

Xia Zuoyi: "...I have no opinion at all, you don't have to ask me."

Orville nodded indifferently, his light gray eyes resting on his hand touching Brown Sugar's belly.

Immediately, he sat down on the sofa opposite Xia Zuoyi: "Last night, I saw His Majesty the Pope carry you away from the banquet...are you afraid?"

Xia Zuoyi shook her head.

Orville: "I thought you would leave the Duke's mansion and live with the Pope instead..."

"But here I guarantee that you will not suffer any harm. No one dares to offend the Aqiyali family."

I'm just too lazy to change places.

Xia Zuoyi thanked him.

"You are Welcome."

Orville changed into a comfortable posture.

He then handed a badge engraved with a roaring lion to Xia Zuoyi, and said: "This is the family badge of Aqiyoli."

"Robert told me that you want to leave the empire. With it, the knights guarding the port will no longer block your fleet."

Xia Zuoyi raised her eyebrows: "Archibald just gave me a badge representing the leader of the chamber of commerce."

He took out another one and put it on the table.

Orville glanced: "Two are more effective."

Xia Zuoyi put away the two badges, and then he asked Orville what happened after he left last night.

Orville maintained his usual indifferent expression: "His Majesty the King and Mrs. Joanna committed suicide after being forced by Archibald."

"The king's mistresses are all imprisoned, and his illegitimate children will be beheaded for public display after the turmoil is over."

"And Tosi Cavendish was killed by me myself."

Xia Zuoyi raised her head.

Orville: "He tried to escape, and he ran in my direction."

"He's very unlucky..." Xia Zuoyi didn't know what to say.

Orville continued: "The members of the royal family who sided with King Puli have also been imprisoned and will be convicted according to the circumstances. Their families have not been arrested..."

Orville obviously still had a lot of things to deal with, and after talking about the situation, he said a simple farewell to Xia Zuoyi.

He hugged him and tried to touch Brown Sugar's little head, but Brown Sugar avoided him in disgust.

…………

After Xia Zuoyi obtained the two badges, he immediately prepared to pack up his things and leave the Grand Duke's mansion. When he returned to the ship, he sent someone to inform the Pope.

After the sent people returned, he received a letter from the Pope.

The letter said——I wish him a smooth return journey, and he will visit him in the Designia territory after the events in the Anas Empire are over.

Xia Zuoyi responded: "..."

You don't have to.

The turmoil in the Anas Empire continues.

Xia Zuoyi, after taking out two badges, boarded the ship at night under the release and cover of the Knights of the Royal City, stowed the gangplank, and set sail.

More than half a month later, the fleet returned to the territory of Designia smoothly.

at the same time.

The news about the current state of the Anas Empire also came. With the support of the Pope and the preparations made by Archibald and Orville, the Anas Empire was successfully split.

Part of it was headed by the Grand Duke of Achiayoli and became an independent territory. Some nobles of the empire surrendered here and became vassals of the Grand Duke.

Part of it became the Kingdom of Anas.

However, when the nobles who followed Archibald wanted to support him as king, they were rejected by him without any turning back.

Archibald made an astonishing decision—the Anas Empire ceased to exist, and Minina Laurie was the Queen of the remaining Anas Kingdom.

This decision undoubtedly caused waves in the divided empire.

However, the more unexpected news came later - after the Grand Duke Achiayoli established his territory, he quickly annexed the small country of Hurghada.

A struggle without gunpowder - His Majesty the King of Hurghada voluntarily abdicated, and has since become a vassal of the Akyayoli family.

And after Archibald's identity was finally exposed, he changed from the previous behavior that most of the affairs of the Nagabi Chamber of Commerce were handled by the steward Vincent, and began to show iron-blooded and ruthless methods.

Since he was able to force his uncle King Puli and his own mother to commit suicide, he was even more merciless towards others.

Some aristocrats who wanted to resist his decision—"making Minina Laurie the Queen of the Kingdom of Anas" were all suppressed in a short time, and they couldn't think of rebelling anymore.

In the end, the pope stepped in to quell the dispute.

His attitude is very obvious-officially acknowledging the existence of the Achiayoli territory and the identity of Queen Minina Laurie.
