Lord Chronicle

Chapter 120

"It's a great honor." Felino bowed gracefully to Jessica.

"Where did you work before coming here?"

Felino was stunned. Although he didn't know why she asked this irrelevant question, he still replied: "Miss Jessica is really forgetful. As Lord Cliff's staff, I have been by his side."

"Oh, so who is Lord Cliff?" Jessica continued to ask.

Felino said without thinking, "You really know how to joke. As the heir to the long-established Barin family, Mr. Cliff..." At this point, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

At this time Sol had already guessed what Jessica wanted to say, and she was indeed a smart girl who knew how to refute Felino from another aspect.

Seeing that Felino didn't speak suddenly, Jessica smiled and said, "What's wrong, Lord Felino? Is there anything inconvenient to say?"

Taking a deep look at Jessica, Ferino lost the usual relaxed look on his face.Gritting his teeth, he said: "Master Cliff is the lord of Bahrain."

"Bahrain Territory? I remember it seems to be our Territory of Dinar?" Jessica raised her chin.

Sol has been with her for so long, how can he not know how to cooperate?He immediately said: "But not long ago, it was occupied by the Lulin Empire."

"Ah, why is that so?" Jessica asked "naively".

Thor shrugged: "Because a certain lord named Cliff shamelessly betrayed his motherland, and personally led the enemy's army to destroy Dinard's Western Legion, so that Dinar became the current situation. "

"So, Mr. Ferino can be regarded as Lulin?" Jessica suddenly realized: "No wonder you will represent Lulin as an envoy and spare no effort to attack your own motherland."

The two sang together, as if they were talking about cross talk, clearly revealing the crime of "betraying the motherland" to Ferino.Due to the suddenness of the incident, Ephilino's quick wit was unable to refute it with a single word.

At this time, I heard Mei Lisi say: "Huh, with my uncle's ability, he can only be a small lord. It was Dinard who treated him unfairly first. Uncle's cooperation with the Lulin people is just to regain It’s just something that belongs to you.”

Jessica smiled at her and said, "This is Baron Melis, right? Ah! I almost forgot that you, like your uncle, also betrayed your motherland. I really shouldn't use the old title again." I'll call you. I just don't know what title Lulin gave you as a reward for betrayal?"

"You..." Mei Lisi was shocked and angry by her sarcasm.

Now Saul is so happy, bringing Jessica here is really the right decision, and he was worried about how to refute Felino, but he didn't expect her to turn the situation around with a few understatements.

Fearing that Melis would get confused and say something that would catch Jessica, Felino quickly motioned her not to speak.At this time, Jessica said to Marconi: "Your Majesty, you have also seen that the so-called Lulin envoys are just two shameless people who betrayed their own country. It is this kind of people who swear by you, you How reliable do you think it is?"

"Okay!" Saul and Ogel cried out in their hearts almost at the same time.

Jessica did not refute what Ferino said just now from the perspective of national power and the current situation, but found another way to refute with the character of the other party.You must know that people in this world still value the concept of the country very much. Most of the betrayers will be spurned by people, let alone the "two devils" who betrayed their own country and lured wolves into their homes to help the enemy deal with their own people up.

"Your Majesty, I think Miss Jessica is right. Such a shameless person who betrayed the motherland is not worthy of trust." Ogle immediately said while the iron was hot.

"Hmm..." Marconi nodded slightly, the eager look on his face had faded a lot.

Obviously he didn't expect to be refuted so badly by Jessica, Felino smiled wryly.At this time, if he tried to defend himself again, it might only lead to counterproductive effects. In desperation, he had no choice but to wink at Brown.

Brown understood what he meant, and immediately took a step forward: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to this woman's bewitching, she is just changing the subject. No matter what kind of person Mr. Ferino is, he is now an envoy of Lulin. What matters is where we are at the moment and the promise that Rulin just made."

At this moment Sol suddenly thought of a famous story, which was very suitable for the present situation.After thinking for a while, he smiled and said to Brown: "Your Excellency is His Royal Highness Prince Brown, right? Can I ask you a few questions?"

Just a few questions from Jessica turned the situation around completely. At this time, hearing that Saul wanted to ask questions again, Brown was very vigilant.But obviously he couldn't back down at this time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Ask."

Sol didn't speak, but just stared at him with a smile on his face. Just when Brown was getting scared by him, Sol suddenly said, "What is your current position?"

Brown said cautiously: "It's nothing, just helping His Majesty with some government affairs for the time being."

"Oh..." Sol nodded, and said again: "You seem to agree with the Lulin Empire's proposal?"

Brown snorted: "It's better than letting Bamuk be dragged into the war by you."

"That's true, we are indeed at a disadvantage now." Sol actually nodded at his words.

Seeing that Saul was asking about irrelevant things, Brown gradually felt relieved that he was just a bluffing guy.

Unexpectedly, just when he let down his vigilance, Sol suddenly changed his subject: "I just saw you winking with Felino all the time. You two have an ulterior relationship, right?"

After being stunned for a moment, Brown immediately flew into a rage: "You are talking nonsense..."

Ignoring his objection, Saul asked Jessica, "Did you see that?"

Jessica nodded affirmatively: "I saw it, and more than once."

Brown's face was flushed, and just as he was about to refute the guy's slander against him, Saul changed the subject again: "In order for you to speak for him, what did Felino do to you?"

"I didn't at all..." Brown was trembling with anger, he said to Marconi desperately: "Your Majesty, please drive this rude person out, he is making a baseless accusation."

Ignoring his complaints, Sol turned to Marconi and said, "Your Majesty, I have only one thing to say. If one day Bamuk is really occupied by Lulin, those who advocate complying with Lulin's request at this moment will have nothing to lose. Not only will they keep their status, they may get promoted again by speaking for Rulin."

As he spoke, he smiled slightly at Brown: "For example, Your Excellency, with special status and respected status, isn't he the best candidate to replace His Majesty as a puppet?"

Ignoring Brown, who was about to lose his temper, he turned around and said with a straight face: "However, Your Majesty, you will no longer be able to stay on this throne, no, I am afraid that even if you want to be an ordinary noble It is possible. Compared with these people who have no loss, you are the only one who is really damaged."

"It is precisely because of this that these people can ask you to agree to Lulin's proposal without any scruples. In fact, they are using you as a bet on your future prosperity. Just think, if there is no Dinar, Bamke Is it really possible to maintain the status quo?”

Finally, he bowed deeply: "That's all I want to say. As for how to choose, His Majesty must be very clear."

He just pointed out that Brown and others were traitorous and seeking glory, and everyone was stunned for a while.Soon, an official pointed at Sol angrily and said, "You...you are talking nonsense!"

Immediately everyone came to their senses, some cursed loudly, some retorted loudly, and some rushed to express their feelings to Marconi.

And Ogier and the others also understood that this was a rare opportunity, and immediately expressed their support for Saul.The two sides were at odds with each other for a while, and the entire political affairs hall became more chaotic.

Facing the accusations from everyone, Saul didn't speak, anyway, he had already said what should be said.This speech was used by Lu Su to persuade Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi, and it is most effective for people in high positions. Who would be so stupid that the king would not do it, but become a prisoner?Now that Suo Er said it in a gourd-like manner, it will definitely have a huge impact on Marconi.

In the end, it was Marconi who calmed down the quarrel. He rubbed the bridge of his nose in distress. Obviously, the respective statements of Sol and Ferino just now not only did not make him make up his mind, but made him even more troubled.

On the one hand, Saul is quite right.If I help Lu Lin, if I let him occupy Dinar, Bamuk will also be in danger of being annexed, and I will definitely not be able to be the king by then.Maybe in order to quell the resistance forces in the country, he will be the first to be killed.

However, what Felino said is also very reasonable.Judging from the current situation, Lulin is likely to win the final victory, and choosing to occupy the losing side by himself is tantamount to suicidal.What's more, if he agrees to let the Lulin army pass through, he may also obtain a large area of ​​land.

What if you choose to be neutral?This is obviously impossible. In this case, no matter which side wins the final victory, I am afraid that it will not be able to spare Bamke who stays out of the matter.

"Well, it seems that my country has been inevitably involved in this war, and I have to make a choice. But... who should I listen to?" Marconi was very distressed.

After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't figure it out, but in the end his vacillating personality prevailed.Marconi waved his hand: "I'm a little tired, let's stop here for now, let me go back and think about it."

"Your Majesty, there is no more hesitation, you..." Ogier wanted to persuade again.

Marconi had already stood up and left the political affairs hall accompanied by his attendants.

As soon as the king left, the discussion naturally died down.The officials of both sides who were still blushing just now were all very bored, so they also dispersed one after another.

Before going out, Brown gave Sol a hard look. Looking at the look in his eyes, it was obvious that he hated Sol to the core.

On the contrary, Ogier and others were very affectionate towards Saul.When passing by his side, Ogier lowered his voice and said: "Master Saul's performance is really eye-opening, and we will firmly support you in the future."

Allies are needed most at this time, and Sol responded one by one, sending them away.At this moment, when he looked up, he realized that Felino had come to him at some point.

There was a calm smile on his face, obviously he had fully recovered from the defeat just now.After taking a deep look at Sol, Felino stretched out his hand: "It's admirable, every time I fight against you, it always brings me unexpected surprises."

I don't know what his intentions are, but this is Bamuk Palace, so I'm sorry he can't play tricks.After hesitating for a moment, Sol stretched out his hand and shook hands with him: "It's just a fluke."

Felino smiled deeply: "I used to think it was luck, but now it seems that I was completely wrong. You can always make people look down on you unconsciously."

I don't know whether it is a compliment or a sarcasm, Sol can only laugh dryly: "It's too much..."

Turning his head to look at Jessica, Felino said with a serious face: "Although I stand in a hostile position, I still admire you very much. After what happened today, I will regard you as a real opponent."

Jessica didn't speak, but just glanced at him quietly.

"Today is just the beginning, and I am looking forward to the next match. Then, let's say goodbye." With a slight smile, Ferino turned and left.

When passing Sol, Melis suddenly smiled: "I feel more and more that you are an interesting person, I really look forward to one day being able to make up for that night, hee hee, you can do it anytime..." said Seeing her lightly press Sol's chest, she turned around and left in a charming manner.

There was a cold sweat on Sol's back, what night happened, big sister?Talking nonsense is fatal...

After the other party left, Jessica suddenly said casually: "It seems that she never forgets you."

Please, what kind of vinegar are you eating?Sol said helplessly: "It's not that you don't know, this slut treats everyone like this, and I can't even hide from her now."

But obviously, there is no reason for a woman to be jealous, even if she is as smart as Jessica.She snorted softly: "Really? Then last time in Ferry City, whoever planned to follow her..."

"Speaking of which, what Melis misses the most is her Lady Safi, right?" Sol chuckled.

Last time, she was almost "doed" by Melis when she disguised herself as a man, and Jessica has always cited it as a great shame.At this time, when Sol mentioned it, she immediately flew into a rage: "It's not because of you that I... just..."

Seeing that Jessica had a tendency to go crazy, Saul couldn't help but feel bad, and he poked a hornet's nest.As he stepped back, he waved his hands and said, "Ahaha, don't be angry, just pretend I didn't say anything..."

"You... you have the guts to tell me again!"

"Wow, I said it unintentionally, you unreasonable woman!"

"Master Saul, I forgot to tell you something just now..." The door of the political affairs hall suddenly opened, and Ogel walked in after speaking.

Immediately after seeing the scene in the room, he was stunned for a moment, closed the door with his backhand, and retreated out without a sound.

"No matter what sounds come out of the room, just pretend you didn't hear them, understand?" he told the guard guarding the door.

Hearing the strange screams coming from inside, the two guards nodded quickly.

Looking at the closed door again, Ogel breathed a sigh of relief: "Master Saul also said that Miss Jessica is not his wife, so the family education is so strict, tsk tsk..."

After saying that, he shook his head in amazement, and left.
