Law of the Dragon

As Hildo's newest prime minister, Embo felt quite a lot of pressure. He still remembered how the previous prime minister died-to be honest, there are really few people in history who can abdicate leisurely from the position of prime minister.

Enbo is 50 years old this year and was 49 when he succeeded as prime minister.In the history of Hildor, the youngest prime minister was 22 years old, and he was also a mysterious prime minister known as one of the "mysteries of Hildor". It is said that he was a wandering bard before becoming prime minister, and he was the only A person who has taken all the pendants in Bachelor City.

Of course, En Bo's age is not enough compared to the previous one, but it is still more than the next one.When he succeeded, the oldest prime minister was 72 years old, and he died in the corridor of the audience half a year later.

En Bo has not encountered any particularly embarrassing things since he took over for a year, that is, being caught between His Majesty the King and the Minister of Finance. Anyway, every time it is for money, and His Majesty the King asks and discusses most of the things. It's a financial problem, so he is very sensitive to money figures now, making him seem like he was born studying mathematics.

The king went to him this afternoon, but discussed another matter.

En Bo looked at the notice in front of him, thinking about the situation he would face after showing this notice.This is a notice about the vacant land in the western region. The king hopes that the refugees will go there to reclaim the land, so that they can obtain the qualifications to own the land in the future, and they can also have the qualifications of the official residents of Sildor.

Due to years of wars in the western region, a large area of ​​land has been vacant, and the land itself is not suitable for farming, and a no-man's land has begun to appear there.There is not only the issue of war, but also the issue of the land itself. The large swamps and forests have drawn a natural boundary between the two countries.Although the two countries have a history of mutual aggression, they have recently tended to be peaceful.

Will such a move of sending refugees to farm will annoy the Crodo Kingdom?There are many dangerous creatures hidden in the swamp over there, and the refugees are just ordinary humans. Reclaiming those lands will inevitably pay a huge price. life in exchange for...

What does His Majesty mean?Is this simply a willingness to help the refugees, or... is it thinking of going to war with Crodo?Will this affect the interests of the nobles who supply and demand the army?Or, what else does His Majesty mean?

En Bo was overwhelmed with thoughts for a while, and a few more white hairs came out of him.

He looked out the window, it was already late at night.Although the imperial capital imposed a curfew, it was only for the poor areas.

"Prepare the carriage, I'm going to the residence of the Duke of Sacrelo," En Bo told his entourage, and then put the king's edict into the pocket of his robe coat.

As soon as he reached the door, another follower ran over.

"My lord." The attendant obviously did not expect to meet the prime minister at the door.

En Bo was in a hurry to find a solution to Duke Sakeluo. This edict will be announced to the world tomorrow, and it cannot be changed at that time: "What's the matter?" He glanced at the man and walked out.

The attendant immediately followed En Bo: "My lord, there is news from General Yaluo that he will secretly return to the imperial capital in a few days."

"Secretly?" En Bo was taken aback, feeling that the news was a bit inconceivable.General Yarrow has been guarding the western border. What could make General Yarrow come back secretly?

"Your Majesty...?" En Bo stood still and looked around, making sure no one asked, "Does Your Majesty know?"

"I don't seem to know yet," the man whispered, "I'm afraid he intends to come back without telling His Majesty the King."

En Bo frowned, and nodded to the entourage: "I see, you continue to pay attention to General Yarrow's affairs, and don't disclose it to anyone."

After the entourage nodded, they retreated silently.

Eun-po thinks about General Yarrow as he walks towards the gate.

General Yarrow and Duke Sacre are the two pillars of this country, and neither of them can do without them. The meaning of the royal family is to restrain the power of these two families from each other so as not to pose a threat to the royal family.In the past few years, the royal family has been in constant disputes. General Yaluo has been dormant in the western region. Why does he suddenly want to return to the imperial capital?

En Bo was able to sit on the position of prime minister, although it was because of the support of the Duke of Sacre, but since he had already sat in this position, he had to be impartial, and he could not enter any power at will.

Larry, who had rushed back from the Black Forest, walked to the audience hall panting. It took longer than he expected. Fortunately, he entered and exited with the guards, otherwise he would not have been able to return to the imperial capital today.

Maybe this farewell will be forever, Larry thought sadly, but then he thought again, his father would go to the west with other refugees to reclaim land, and maybe he might even get land. Compared to wandering aimlessly like this, this is undoubtedly a Bright Road.

Thank you God of Light!

He was thinking about this while walking, and suddenly looked up and saw His Majesty the King sitting on the throne.

The large audience hall is brightly lit, and there are floor-to-ceiling candlesticks every few steps. The huge crystal chandelier on the ceiling refracts the light even brighter, and there is no shadow in the entire audience hall.

The blond-haired young king sat on the golden throne, his fair skin looked a little pale under the light, but his golden eyes were very bright, and the slightly erect pupils made that delicate and young face look unsuitable for his age. sharp sense.He sat there with his legs crossed, with a scarlet velvet carpet under his feet, and from his feet, covered with cold marble steps, the long hall went all the way to the door of the audience hall.In the light, the immaculate velvet carpet looks so bright, it seems like a road paved with blood...

Larry was taken aback by his own thoughts, and quickly threw away the previous thoughts, walked down the steps and bowed: "I'm back, Your Majesty."

"Have you been to the Black Forest?" Eros asked.

Larry quickly replied: "Go, Your Majesty." Although His Majesty the King did not explicitly ask him to see his father off at noon, Larry was very grateful to the King for doing so.Not only taking him in as a refugee, but also thinking about the livelihood of the refugees, it is really too tolerant and kind.

"Have the refugees left for the West?" Eros asked, waving to Larry. "Come to me, it's just the two of us now."

Larry hesitated for a moment, then walked up the steps and walked to Eros: "Yes, after hearing what the guards said, they were all very happy, and immediately set off for the west - oh, the guards also sent some food , Captain Hasen is really a good guy!"

Eros nodded: "The notice will be issued tomorrow, and I hope more refugees will go to the Western Territory."

Larry nodded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

The corners of Eros' mouth curled up: "Do you want to go too?"

"...Is it okay?" Larry asked back, probably because he was very happy to see his father today, or because Eros is very approachable now, which made Larry a little dazed.

"No!" The other party suddenly reached out and grabbed his arm, "You can only stay by my side."

The opponent's sudden movement startled Larry, and there was a dull pain in his arm. Larry looked at his arm. The opponent's hand was white and soft, with well-defined knuckles, but the spider's ring was shining under the light. A strange light made this hand look seductive and enchanting.

Larry's face was flushed red: "I, I didn't mean that, Your Majesty, I would like to stay by your side... I am very grateful that you can take me in..." He stammered and explained.

Eros breathed a sigh of relief, quickly let go of the opponent's arm, and explained to him: "Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."

Larry shook his head quickly: "No, Your Majesty..."

Just kidding, this child has a priceless cold heart in his body, it was sealed up with great difficulty, so don't be surprised!Eros stood up while thinking: "Let's go, it's late, the children should go to bed early. It seems that there are no visitors tonight, let's wash up and sleep."

"what?"

"After the notice is posted tomorrow, send soldiers to guard the notice. Don't lose one piece. After hanging it in various places for a week, all will be taken back." Sa Keluo said lightly.

En Bo was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that as long as the king's notice was not in the hands of the refugees, then the Clodo Kingdom would have no evidence that the refugees came to the west under the king's order, so even if it was in the name of land reclamation, it would unknowingly expand Land, Crodo will not go to war with Hildor for a while.

"I understand." Embo nodded.

The news about General Yarrow's plan to return to the imperial capital in secret, circled around his mouth, but he still didn't say it.One is that the news channel is not convenient to disclose, and the other is that since the prime minister already knows the news, but the Duke does not know, I can only explain one point - General Yarrow seems to have no intention of letting Duke Sacre know. This news.As for the reason... Prime Minister En Bo has no energy to guess. After all, he is old and still has a lot of work at hand.

"Ah, there is one more thing," Embo thought for a moment, and took a step forward, "it's about the candidate for the queen."

Sa Keluo frowned: "You compile a list and give it to me to have a look first."

"Okay, Your Excellency the Duke." Embo bowed, "Then I will take my leave first."

Queen's choice...

Why is this so disturbing to think about?Although he clearly knew that this was just a political marriage, choosing a woman from a family that could maximize his benefits, but when he thought that that woman would stand beside Eros, the place closest to him...

It was unbearable!

Sa Keluo thought angrily, this Embo just didn't want him to sleep well, right?

He walked to the window irritably, the cool night wind did not reduce the annoyance in his heart at all, he looked at the silent sky, knowing that the person would leave the throne at any time, but...he remembered the financial meeting this morning, the person and the financial The appearance of the ministers arguing was serious and annoyed, and at that time—it was almost as if this daily slobbering meeting would last forever.In the next few years, ten years, decades, it will be repeated like this...

When I think about it now, the helpless mood in the morning has turned into a peaceful beauty.

If... it could go on like this forever, he sat there with a smile and watched him slapping the table and shouting at the meeting, and he felt it was a kind of happiness.
