"Miss Daphne told me before she left that if you need it, I can provide you with a certain amount of help, but it won't exceed the limit."
Vina was stunned for a moment, but still shook her head.
She could understand Daphne's good intentions, but the identity of the Duke of Windermere's messenger was still a little too sensitive.
For this soldier, just entering Longmen is enough to make some people nervous, not to mention asking him to do something for them, isn't that too suspicious?
Governor Wei Yanwu treated her very well, and Vina didn't want to create any trouble for Wei Yanwu out of thin air.
"Thank Daphne for me, but I'm doing fine, there's nothing I need help with."
The Windermere messenger did not say much when he saw this. This was originally a task assigned by the Duke's heir. He was just following orders and there was absolutely no reason for him to ask for help. He just said as he left:
"I will rest in Longmen for a day. If you need any help from me before 305 o'clock tomorrow morning, you can come to Longmen Courier Station No. to find me."
Vina nodded and watched him leave, and she also prepared to leave and go to the Longmen Governor's Mansion again.
At the same time, at the Longmen Governor's Mansion.
Wei Yanwu sat alone in the office, his eyes slightly closed but his brows furrowed, as if he was waiting for something.
Over the past few days, he became more and more confused.
Because Vina's behavior was really beyond his expectations.
Because she did nothing and acted as if she was really a diplomat who came to Longmen for a public-funded tour!
In Wei Yanwu's opinion, the appearance of Vina, the last descendant of Aslan, in Longmen meant that something must have happened. The biggest incident could be that she would be held accountable by Victoria or investigated by the real dragon again. The smallest incident could be that she would have one or two car accidents or be assassinated three or four times. All of these were possible!
Wei Yanwu had even stayed up all night for several days, preparing himself for the possibility that Vina would suddenly die at Longmen, so as to face the political storm that would follow.
But Vina seemed to be fine. She was jumping up and down on the goalpost and walking around like nothing had happened. She had no guard beside her and no followers. She looked so carefree and courageous as if to say "come and chop me if you are my brother."
This, this is unreasonable!
If you say that the so-called Kjerag government and the people behind her did not provide Vina with any entourage or guards, and let him come to Longmen alone, Wei Yanwu would never believe it.
Apart from other things, even if there is really no conspiracy at all, the diplomatic mission alone must have more than a dozen people. What about your Ministry of Foreign Affairs? Can a figure of the Foreign Minister's rank be left alone?
So where are these people hiding?
Wei Yanwu thought for a moment and guessed the answer immediately - he could only be hiding among the people from Kalan Trade who came with Vina!
Therefore, in order not to reveal his identity, he did not give direct orders, but instead anonymously reported to the Guard Bureau several times, asking the Guard Bureau to search the warehouse of Kalan Trading in Longmen several times.
But they got an unexpected answer - apart from the fact that the search delayed Kalan Trading's business for several days and caused damage to some handicrafts, there was nothing suspicious inside!
How could there be nothing!
Of course he questioned this result, but there was no reason for the Guards to betray him. The fact that they couldn't find anyone could only mean that the people they had hidden were strong enough and hiding well enough, so the Guards were no longer enough!
Wei Yanwu was almost driven crazy by the speculations in his mind. He even began to feel that if nothing unexpected happened to Vina, that would be the biggest accident!
Once bitten, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. Wei Yanwu was extremely worried that what happened more than 20 years ago would happen again in Longmen. After much consideration, he finally couldn't help it and decided to take the initiative. Moreover, this time, it would not work to let the guards play. He had to use his trump card, a trump card that the opponent had no way to hide from!
There was a noise from the window, and a cool breeze blew across his face through the curtains that had been opened at some point. Wei Yanwu suddenly opened his eyes, and a figure in black clothes and a bamboo hat appeared in front of him, kneeling on one knee.
This is his trump card, a shadow guard composed of the elite retired guards of the Great Yan Emperor who are loyal to him!
With their help, Wei Yanwu didn't believe that they couldn't find Vina's flaws!
"Did you find anything?" Wei Yanwu asked.
As expected, the shadow guard nodded immediately: "My lord, yes!"
"The Victorian messenger who entered the city today has already contacted Vina and had a secret conversation at Vina's residence. The messenger is a Victorian soldier with a rank of major. In order to avoid being exposed, I did not eavesdrop on their conversation at close range. But our colleagues still knew most of the content of the conversation through magic."
"Major Victoria asked Vina if she needed help, and Vina claimed that everything went well. They agreed on a place to meet next time, and then quickly ended the conversation. But according to the intelligence from the surveillance position, Vina has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. She mostly used written means, and finally handed the letter to the major. According to our analysis, the content of the letter is probably the real focus."
"Hmm..." Wei Yanwu pondered and nodded.
He guessed right! He knew that Vina must have some intention!
But Vina has such a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness that it may not be easy to find out their real purpose.
"My lord, do you want us to rob the letter?" the black-capped shadow guard asked directly.
But Wei Yanwu shook his head firmly: "No. Since the messenger dared to find Vina in this identity and form, do you think they were not prepared for the letter to be robbed?"
"Don't forget, that man has a military rank! Don't you understand what it means to attack him?"
Wei Yanwu pondered for a moment and shook his head:
"For now, let's keep everything as it is, and wait and see what this little girl is up to."
Seeing this, the shadow guard could only bow his head, stand up respectfully and retreat into the shadows.
Almost within a minute after he left, Madam Wen Yue's voice rang out from outside the office:
"That little girl is here again."
We just finished the secret talk and you came to me right away?
Wei Yanwu frowned, then perked up and asked, "Did she say what she was going to do?"
"She said she wants you to help contact...to purchase some fireworks, lanterns and window decorations." Wen Yue's voice also sounded a little unbelievable.
"What is this?" Wei Yanwu muttered incomprehensibly, "Is she going to make dumplings with us?"
He opened the door and walked towards the reception room.
No matter what Vina was trying to do with these actions, at least now, Wei Yanwu has determined that the purpose of Vina's trip is not simple.
Being on guard, Wei Yanwu didn't think that the experience he had accumulated during his long political career would be no match for a young girl who looked like she was just starting out!
When he pushed the door open, Wei Yanwu's face was already filled with the humble smile of a politician:
"Ms. Vina, sorry for the wait."
"I heard that you want to order a batch of festival supplies? Then you've found the right person! I, Wei Yanwu, love to celebrate festivals! Come, I'll recommend you a few conscientious manufacturers, I guarantee you won't suffer any loss!"
Chapter 68: The Unscrupulous Beast Master Teaches People the Art of Speaking Online
Kjerag, Manzhuyuan, main hall lobby.
Yaer thought she had a good learning ability, but she really couldn't understand the book called "Mechanics" in her hand.
What do those symbols mean? What do the codes mean? And what do the various formulas mean?
My kids are watching these things? They are studying these things? How did they memorize them?
The more she read, the more dizzy she felt. Her spirit gradually weakened and she even felt sleepy!
It has only been a few decades since He last woke up. Under normal circumstances, He should still be in an excited state!
"No, we can't watch it any longer. If we continue, we won't be able to take care of Ernst. Let's continue tomorrow."
Rubbing her temples, Yaer spoke to herself, but she felt a familiar breath coming from the holy mountain, and it was approaching Manzhuyuan quickly.
She raised her head in confusion and looked towards the main hall gate, but what appeared was not a human figure, but a mighty beast.
"Lion Lord?"
Yaer frowned slightly and looked at the golden lion king who was slowly walking into the main hall of Manzhuyuan.
The visitor was naturally Gawain, Aslan's guardian and the beast master who temporarily resided in Victoria.
The lion with a dazzling golden mane nodded slightly to Yaer and said half jokingly and half sarcastically:
"I didn't expect the behemoth would learn from humans. Do you really care about that human that much?"
Yaer pursed her lips in dissatisfaction, with an angry expression that something she cherished was said to be worthless, and retorted:
"Everyone in Kjerag is my people. I treat everyone equally, so I don't show partiality to any one of them!"
"Oh?" Gawain grinned, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth. "Then why didn't you respond when your great elder begged you to punish Ernst?"
"I..." Yaer's voice was choked.
Before He could answer, Gawain said:
"Because he, the Great Elder, and Enchiodis are equal competitors, so you are unwilling to break this fairness."
He said calmly, with an expression that said, "I've seen through everything."
"So, admit it. You are now treating all the Kjerag people equally and fairly. But as Ernst said, this is a political proposition and has nothing to do with the facts. For some people, it is fairer than fair."
Yaer pursed her lips, wanting to refute, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only change the subject:
"So? You just come here to mock my style of doing things? I admit that I do prefer Ernst, but so what? I haven't settled the score with you for using that kid to dump that little Victoria girl here with me!"
Hearing this, Gao Wen shamelessly crossed his legs and lay down, looking like he was asking, "What can you do to me?"
"That's right. Vina was still hesitant at first, but I made her make up her mind. Because I felt your presence on that recruitment notice at that time."
Gawain recalled that when he saw the recruitment notice in the bookstore on the corner, he had no intention of showing up. After all, Vina, the descendant of Aslan, was not in danger of life at the time. She just wanted to leave Londinium. There was no need for a lazy person like him to move.
But he just happened to sense an unusual atmosphere from that notice.
It was the scent of pure white snow, glimpsed briefly by a powerful being.
"That's why I said that your love for that kid has gone beyond ordinary sympathy. You pay so much attention to what he does, his things, and his recruitment. You even cast your gaze on every person who took the recruitment notice. You're just like a mother who only cares about her son's wife, hahahaha!"
Yaer's face turned completely red. She stood up and was too lazy to argue with Gawain, the old lion who was talking nonsense. She simply planned to leave.
Creatures like the Beast Master are troublesome. Even the giant beasts can't kill them, and He is too lazy to fight with Gawain.
Gawain stopped laughing when he saw this, raised his paw and called out to Yaer, saying:
"Don't go, why are you in such a hurry? This is not something to be embarrassed about."
"Who's anxious? I'm not anxious!" Yaer said with a calm face.
Gawain shook his big lion head helplessly and explained:
"I don't mean to laugh at you. I just want to say that we are the same kind of people."
"I promised Aslan that I would protect his descendants. Haven't I been keeping this promise till now?"
He sighed, and a sad expression appeared on his beastly face in a humanized way:
"Vina is in a very dangerous situation, and I am a civil servant, not good at fighting. If something really happens, I can only carry her and run away. That would be too much work for an old man like me."
"So I persuaded her to come to you. Yelagund, I do not ask you to fulfill my promise on my behalf, but in this snowy country, my duties will be a little easier."
"Haha. That sounds nice." Yaer rolled her eyes. "Vina is now Ernst's foreign minister. If something happens to her, won't Ernst be upset to death? Shouldn't I protect her?"
A hint of cunning appeared on the beast master's face.
Although he didn't say anything, it was obvious that even Actos and Xu Lu could understand what he was saying.
Didn't I dare to do this because I was sure that you cared about Ernst's feelings?
Moreover, lions are obviously more cunning, scoundrel and shameless animals. He didn't even write this thought on his face, but simply said it directly.
This is what he said when he first met Yelagund.
The corner of Yaer's mouth twitched: "Aren't you afraid that I will create some accidents and make Vina disappear reasonably?"
"Come on!" Gawain laughed. "The youngsters are doing a good job. We old men and women should stop interfering! We usually just take care of our health, drink tea and read newspapers, and occasionally try out new gadgets made by humans to see what they can do. And then we can back them up when they can't handle it!"
As he spoke, he suddenly felt a chill in front of him. When he lowered his head, he found that his paws had been frozen without him knowing when.
Gao Wen looked at Yaer in astonishment:
"What's going on?"
Yaer's smile was bright and youthful. She asked, "There is no such thing as age for us, right?"
Gao Wen's mouth twitched, and he nodded quickly: "Of course, of course. I was just joking."
When the coldness subsided a little, he suddenly pulled out his feet and ran out of Manzhu Courtyard.
On the way, he did not even look back to save his face. He stood in a position where he could no longer see Yelagund and glared in the direction of Manzhuyuan:
"Tsk, you're so old, but you're still acting young. I've seen many people who want to live forever, but this is the first time I've seen a giant beast that doesn't recognize age."
A gust of cold wind blew across his spine, and Gawain suddenly felt a chill running through his heart. He quickly changed his words:
"Then no matter how old you are, it won't stop you from being a mother, right?"
The cool breeze was fleeting, blowing through the valleys of the mountains, as if it was just a cold wind that passed through the mountains inadvertently.
Only Gao Wen held his mouth, covered his heart that was about to go to the resurrection match, and sighed.
