The Last Frontier of Fire and Sword

Cheerchen and Queen Ludwig returned to the dinner party. Cheerchen sat back to his position, his gaze swept to Natalie, but he saw Natalie also looking at him.

All of a sudden the two looked at each other.

At the same time, the two remembered what Queen Ludwig had said to them, Cheerchen blushed, and Natalie blushed and lowered her head.

The unusual King Jan Kazimierz of the two teenagers saw it, and he understood that this was obviously a masterpiece of his wife. The king was about to say a few words when suddenly a servant leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.

As the servant's lips opened and closed, the king's face became serious. His smile disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"Everyone," King Jan Kazimierz stood up, and he said to everyone, "I have some government affairs to deal with, and I am disacquainted."

After speaking, the king glanced at the queen, he thought for a moment, and decided to let the queen stay and continue to entertain Cheer Chen and Natalie.

Then King Jan Kazimierz ordered his two ministers: "Stanislaw and Ugowski. Come with me."

Stanislaw and Ugowski looked at each other, and there was a trace of confusion and embarrassment in their eyes, but they still stood up.

The two left the banquet room with the king, and walked towards the study.

Although I don't know what happened to make the king so nervous, Chechen could feel that the news that the servant told King Jan Kazimierz just now must be extraordinary.

Natalie and Queen Ludwig have the same views as Cheer Chen. Unlike Cheerchen and Natalie, Queen Ludvika had a trace of annoyance in her heart at this time. The queen was angry that her husband didn't ask herself to discuss military affairs together this time. Although his reason is very legitimate-he must stay to entertain Cheerchen and Natalie, but after all, it is he who is blatantly hiding something from himself.

However, after all, there are outsiders present, even if Queen Ludvika is angry in her heart, she is not easy to have a seizure. The queen had to secretly swear in her heart that after the dinner, she would show her husband something good.

So, Queen Ludwig, who had already decided in her mind, took the position left by her husband. She picked up the wine glass, and the servant on the side stepped forward to fill the glass half-full.

"Natalie, Cheerchen, let's have a drink. Please believe that the king did not deliberately neglect you. You also know that although the Republic has won a lot of military victories this year and regained a lot of territories, these regains The territories occupied by the Swedes are dying and the people are displaced. The government must spend a lot of effort to resettle refugees and restore production. The king and Stanislaw are busy with these things every day until 3 in the morning. I think he was just now. It must have received a letter asking for help from a senior official in a certain province."

"Queen, Your Majesty is the father of all the people of the Republic, you must remind him to pay attention to his body." Natalie stood up and said emotionally.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the king is the backbone of the Republic, he must take care of his body." Chechen also stood up and said.

"I will bring your kindness to the king." Queen Ludvika drank the wine in one glass.

On the other side, the reason why King Jan Kazimierz and his two ministers left the dinner was certainly not because of another famine in a certain province. He had just received information from Ukraine, one about the Zaporozhye Cossacks. Information from the commander-in-chief Bogdan Khmelnitsky.

"Your Majesty, the intelligence says that Bogdan Khmelnitsky is seriously ill, and he may be running out of time." Stanislaw Potocki said after reading the letter written in coded language.

Hearing this, the internal servant Ugowski drew a cross on his chest, his face flushed with excitement, and his excitement could not be concealed even in the voice: "God bless! But I still hope this demon, The messenger of Satan can live a few more days until the soldiers of the Republic recover Kiev and cut off his head."

Ugowski’s voice was full of hatred of Bogdan Khmelnitsky. In fact, no Polish nobleman, Poles, or Jews do not hate him. It was this man who opened the door to the decline of the Republic, and it was he who led the Cossacks to take away the fertile land of the nobles in Ukraine and to slaughter the Jews throughout Ukraine.

Seeing Ugowski's excited and gritted expressions, King Jan Kazimierz and Stanislaw Potocki were not surprised. The two looked at each other, and then King Jan Kazimierz suddenly said to Ugowski: "My servant, go and inform the queen, tell her that it is late at night, and let Natalie and Tonight Chen stay at the Kazimierz Palace."

Hearing the king's order, Ugowski realized that he might have said that sentence incorrectly, so he caused the king to distract himself. But of course it is impossible for him to ask. Ugowski didn't dare to neglect the king's orders, so he hurriedly took his orders and retreated.

"Wait a minute." King Jan Kazimierz suddenly shouted in Ugowski: "I can't reveal a word of the news I just heard."

When the gate was closed, King Jan Kazimierz sighed to Stanislaw Potocki: "Look, the country is full of hatred towards Bogdan Khmelnitsky~www .wuxiaspot.com~ Very few people really understand the situation."

Hearing what Jan Kazimierz said, Stanislaw Potocki said with a smile: "Your Majesty, there are only a few wise men like you and the queen."

The meaning of Stanislaw Potocki’s words, King Jan Kazimierz, of course knows that he is implying that he should tell his queen that Bogdan Khmelnitsky is about to pass away, and Together she discussed the next countermeasures of the Republic.

"Stanislaw," King Jan Kazimierz sighed, "I didn't know that the queen was a thousand times smarter than me."

Hearing what King Jan Kazimierz said, Stanislaw Potocki hurriedly stepped back and lowered his head.

"It doesn't have to be." King Jan Kazimierz stretched out his hand to draw his confidant closer: "Stannislaw, you don't have to be so nervous. The queen's talents are obvious to all in the Republic. I am also very much in my heart. Clear. But, I am a man after all, and being a man has self-esteem, so I want to deal with this important matter independently this time. After all, when it comes to dealing with the Cossacks, the kings gave me countless wisdom."

Stanislaw Potocki saw that King Jan Kazimierz had raised the matter to the dignity of a man, what else could he say.

However, King Jan Kazimierz's statement that "the ancestors gave me countless wisdom in dealing with the Cossacks" is not a lie.
