The ruthless man who ruled Ursus and conquered Casimir and Victoria in less than three months turned out to be someone else's dog just like himself, and he didn't even seem to resist this identity.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Ata, what kind of cooperation did you discuss with Dayan?"
An Xiu asked while sitting on a chair brought by the Black Shadow Corps.
"It's just some very normal business cooperation, reducing or exempting some tariffs between the two countries and introducing some policies to encourage the flow of goods between the two countries. It's just that you left a while ago, An Xiu, and I was a little nervous about handling these matters without you. I was worried about any problems, so I came to Longmen to inspect the situation."
After hearing Tallulah's answer, Anshu nodded.
It was indeed something that Talulah could accomplish. In Terra, a place that generally leans towards the feudal system, the head of a country came to inspect a key cooperation area just for a little cooperation.
If nothing unexpected happened, Wei Yanwu would probably be scared to death now, after all, Tallulah's identity is too scary now.
After the three countries of Ursus, Casimir and Victoria merged on the spot, the Holy Terra Empire was undoubtedly the most powerful country on this earth.
As the emperor of the Holy Terra Empire, Tallulah condescended to come to Longmen. As the governor of Longmen, Wei Yanwu should have entertained her well. But if something happened, no one knew how the follow-up would develop, but Longmen would definitely be the first to explode.
...
PS: It’s a bit too late, so the update of the second chapter will be delayed.
Chapter 120: Tallulah’s Arrival, Wei Yanwu: Meet Your Majesty!
Dayan, Longmen.
Just as An Xiu guessed, Wei Yanwu, the governor of Longmen, was really panicked at this moment.
Emperor of the Holy Terra Empire, these words carry too much weight in the land of Terra today, so much so that Wei Yanwu now feels a little breathless, as if he could be crushed to death at any time.
Logically speaking, as long as you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. As long as Wei Yanwu doesn't have any inappropriate thoughts about Tallulah, then there is actually no need to worry too much.
After all, Tallulah had lived in Longmen for a period of time when she was a child. Based on Wei Yanwu's previous understanding of Tallulah, this child who was once his old friend, now the emperor of the empire, although he used tough methods and had a strong desire for power, and would kill entire families at will (especially certain nobles), he should not be a cruel person in nature.
Even if there were any oversights that led to some inconsiderateness in the hospitality, Tallulah shouldn't be angry, but just because she doesn't have any ideas, others might.
The emperor of Terra's most powerful nation was on a diplomatic mission to another country, and it was said that he didn't have many troops with him. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If some idiots could come along and assassinate Tallulah at his own wit's end...
He didn't know what would happen to the assassin and the mastermind behind the scenes, but regardless of whether he succeeded or not, there was a high probability that his gantry would be razed to the ground by the furious army and the Wendigo Legion.
When he thought of this, Wei Yanwu shuddered all over and his expression became even more sad. He paced back and forth in the office, smoking the pipe in his hand.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon, a man in a black hat suddenly appeared in front of Wei Yanwu.
"Duke Wei, the envoy team will soon arrive outside the city."
"Has everything been arranged on site?"
"My subordinates have checked repeatedly and all suspicious individuals have been eliminated. The Imperial Guard has also arranged personnel to complete the deployment to ensure that no problems will arise."
"Really? That would be great."
With a long sigh, Wei Yanwu walked out of the door with his hands behind his back and asked someone to arrange a car for him.
He also had to go and personally welcome the Emperor of the Holy Terra Empire. After all, the emperor of the most powerful country was coming here. He was just a governor of Longmen. Could he dare to act so arrogantly and sit in his office waiting for others to come and see him?
......
Longmen, one of the most important economic centers of Dayan, was originally a gateway for entering and leaving the city, but now it was lined with a neat guard of honor.
In the distance, the most elite police officers of the Guard Bureau who were responsible for maintaining order were all on high alert, not daring to make a sound, for fear of bumping into the big shot who was about to arrive.
Chen Huijie, who was directing his men to line up, looked at Shi Huaiya, who was also transferred here, and both had complicated expressions.
The world is changing too fast. My former good sister has suddenly become the emperor of the most powerful empire and is about to come to inspect the city where I work. How can this situation not make people have distracting thoughts?
However, compared to Chen Huijie, who didn't know what attitude to take towards Tallulah, Shi Huaiya was more open-minded.
Didn't you see how even the dignified Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu had to rush over to greet her? Given Tallulah's current status, if Chen Huijie and her two mere inspectors weren't noticed in the crowd later, they might not even be allowed to see each other again. Worrying about this was just asking for trouble.
Not long after, a large team arrived from outside the Dragon Gate. After connecting with the team in charge of contact, they quickly boarded the mobile city and arrived at the pass.
The soldiers who were originally in charge of guarding spread out to both sides, making way for a path. Then, Tallulah walked out slowly with steady steps, accompanied by her attendants on both sides.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure of Tallulah, Wei Yanwu, who was standing in front of the team to greet her, felt mixed emotions. His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he finally lowered his head.
"Longmen Governor Wei Yanwu greets His Majesty."
Wei Yanwu spoke respectfully and bowed to Tallulah.
Behind Wei Yanwu, the rest of the entourage also spoke and saluted respectfully.
"I have met His Majesty!"
At this moment, no one at the scene, including Chen Huijie, dared to have any disrespectful thoughts towards Tallulah.
After all, the title of the strongest country in Terra and the sinkhole at the former site of Victoria that buried hundreds of thousands of dukes' coalition forces are enough to make any unruly person know what humility is.
The only person who dared to disrespect Tallulah was probably Anshu, who was following behind Tallulah with Lappland.
"No need to be so polite. Thank you for your hospitality. Now, please take me on a tour of this city."
Tallulah spoke calmly.
She had seen this kind of scene too many times since she became emperor, and it did not cause any fluctuations in her heart at all.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing Tallulah's request, Wei Yanwu did not dare to delay and immediately asked someone to prepare the car.
Soon, a special car drove over and Wei Yanwu personally opened the door for Tallulah.
"You guys come up too."
Before getting on the car, Tallulah turned and said something to Anshu and Lappland.
Seeing this scene, Wei Yanwu, realizing that the two might be Tallulah's confidants, immediately made an invitation gesture.
"Since it is His Majesty's wish, please both of you get in the carriage."
After getting on the special car, Wei Yanwu personally cosplayed as the driver, and entered the Longmen with Tallulah in the passenger seat, and Anxiu and Lappland in the back. He began to explain the situation in each area of the Longmen, while always paying attention to both sides of the street, for fear that any problems would arise.
"What a developed city! Even in the Holy Terra Empire, there are only a few mobile cities of this scale."
Being able to run the huge Longmen to such an extent and even issue exclusive currency such as Longmen Coin, Wei Yanwu has some skills.
At least Talulah felt that if she didn't have Anxiu's help, she would have been overwhelmed by the integration movement of more than a hundred people, not to mention a mobile city with a population of several million.
If all the cities in the Holy Terra Empire could develop to the level of Longmen, the daily lives of the people in the country would surely become happier.
"Your Majesty, you are too kind. My insignificant abilities cannot compare to your divine might."
Compared to Tallulah, who ruled three countries in just a few months, Wei Yanwu really felt that his achievements were nothing big.
"Also, I have something I would like to ask Your Majesty."
"Oh? Please speak."
After receiving Tallulah's affirmative response, Wei Yanwu, who was driving, took a deep breath, as if he was going to some execution ground.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, is this visit to Longmen really just for a simple inspection?"
During the period before Tallulah's arrival, Wei Yanwu thought carefully. He didn't believe that the leader of a country would come here from afar just to inspect the work. He must have some deeper conspiracy in his heart.
And given Tallulah's identity, even Longmen is not qualified to come here in person to achieve a certain purpose.
If that’s the case, does that mean that Tallulah is… planning to take over Da Yan?
Chapter 121: Wei Yanwu's Imagination, Tallulah's 'Conspiracy'
"what?"
Hearing Wei Yanwu's question, Tallulah fell into deep thought at this moment.
Wasn't she just here to inspect the cooperation location?
If she didn't come to Longmen to inspect the work, what else could she have done?
The Holy Terra Empire has no plans to expand in the short term. After all, it takes a certain amount of time for a duchy to annex three countries in just a few months to strengthen the cohesion between the people of the three countries. At the very least, the people need to take a break.
Talulah is not a war criminal who feels uncomfortable if she doesn't start a war. In the absence of Anxiu's request, she is actually more inclined to peaceful development.
Unfortunately, although Tallulah thought so, the problem was that other people didn't believe it at all.
Considering the style before the founding of the Holy Terra Empire, you said Tallulah loved peace? Can you hold back your laughter when you say that yourself?
Anyway, in the whole of Terra, all the leaders of countries or forces who knew about Talulah's trip to Longmen believed that the Red Dragon Emperor must have her own plans.
As early as the day when Tallulah confirmed her itinerary to come to Longmen, the court of Dayan was already tense. Zhenlong had a stern and expressionless face the entire time. No one could know how much "anger" was brewing under that indifferent face.
At this moment, there was silence in the special car that Tallulah and others were riding in.
Beads of sweat the size of beans kept sliding down Wei Yanwu's face like rain. God knows what kind of determination he had to dare to expose Tallulah's "conspiracy" under such circumstances.
At this moment, Wei Yanwu could only pray that his previous guess was correct. During the years since being taken away by Koschei, although Tallulah's methods had become a little cold and bloody, she was still a kind child at heart. She would remember their old friendship and not attack Longmen.
This is also the reason why Wei Yanwu took the initiative to expose this matter when there were only Tallulah and her confidants besides him.
Even though he knew that Tallulah had some ulterior motives, Wei Yanwu did not dare to think of confronting her head-on. He could only rely on this method of begging, hoping that Tallulah would show leniency to Longmen.
But the problem is that Tallulah really just came to inspect the work and revisit an old place.
She was just strolling around.
But with an outsider like Wei Yanwu present, she couldn't ask her external brain, An Xiu, what to do.
Therefore, she could only try to comfort this elder whom she had not seen for many years.
"Uncle, you're joking. I came to Longmen this time just to inspect the work, and I also wanted to see how Longmen has developed and changed over the years."
"Of course, if I had to say anything else, it would probably be to visit you and your aunt. I haven't seen you for years, and I really miss you two..."
"Yes, is that so? I have already prepared a banquet at the Governor's Mansion. I will definitely have a good chat with Your Majesty then."
Seeing that Tallulah had no intention of getting angry on the spot, Wei Yanwu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Since she was still willing to acknowledge their past relationship, it meant that Tallulah still remembered the old feelings. In this way, he could finally put half of his heart at ease.
As for why only half?
Having been in Dayan for so many years, Wei Yanwu knew one thing very well: politicians' promises could not be trusted.
Although Tallulah is not a politician, she is now the emperor of the empire. Thinking from the perspective of a superior, these current comforts for her may not be a temporary measure. The warm scene of everyone having a happy meal and chatting may immediately turn into a bloody disaster with swords and axes.
Therefore, for the safety of his own gantry, Wei Yanwu wanted to take more precautions, but he no longer dared to test Tallulah.
Although Tallulah is still willing to treat him as an elder, it does not mean that he can treat Tallulah casually in the same way as he treats a junior.
As the emperor of the empire, Tallulah's face represents more than just herself. A mere Governor of Longmen dared to disrespect the emperor of the empire. To put it mildly, it seems that the Governor of Longmen had eaten too many mushrooms and could not tell the difference between the big and small kings. To put it more seriously, it was Dayan who despised the majesty of the Holy Terra Empire.
Therefore, Wei Yanwu, who could not continue to work on Tallulah, thought for a while and turned his attention to Anxiu and Lappland sitting in the back seat.
These two people were specially called by Tallulah to accompany her in the car, so they must be her trusted confidants. However, according to Wei Yanwu's observation, the real confidant should be only An Xiu. As for the other white-haired Rupert, although the aura he exudes gives him a sense of danger, judging from his attitude, the other party is more like this man's confidant rather than Tallulah's confidant, that is, Tallulah's subordinate.
It just so happened that Anxiu was next to Tallulah at Ursus's coronation ceremony that day, which confirmed his identity.
At this moment, Wei Yanwu came up with an idea.
He plans to save the country in a roundabout way.
Talulah can't continue to test for the time being, but he can take action against Anxiu behind him!
As long as he can get the other party's help, wouldn't the safety of his Longmen be more guaranteed?
As for how to gain the other party's help? Wei Yanwu believed that he had some experience in this area. It was nothing more than bribery.
He, Longmen, has nothing but a lot of money, and Wei Yanwu has plenty of sugar-coated bullets and various means.
Not understanding why Wei Yanwu's gaze suddenly became so fiery, after driving his special car to visit several major areas of Longmen, Wei Yanwu took everyone to the Governor's Mansion to attend the banquet that had been prepared there.
After three rounds of drinks and dinner, An Xiu left Tallulah with Wei Yanwu and Wen Yue to reminisce about the past, and he left the Governor's Mansion with Lappland.
He was not worried that Tallulah would encounter any danger. After all, with Tallulah's current strength, even the Lord of the Royal Court would have to kneel down. Unless a giant beast could jump out of Longmen on the spot, even if something really happened, the danger would most likely not be Tallulah but someone else.
"Okay, get ready. I'm going to take you to a place that will further improve your strength."
After leaving the Governor's Mansion, An Xiu spoke to Lappland beside him, then opened the system interface and clicked on the time-travel function to open the portal.
"Let's go."
Without giving Lappland a chance to ask, Anxiu walked directly into the portal. Seeing this, although Lappland was a little wary of this sudden scene, he followed Anxiu immediately after seeing him walk in.
The next second, the world spun around and when he opened his eyes again, Lappland found himself in a large research base.
"Welcome to the new world. Feel lucky. You're probably the only person in all of Terra who has left their own world and successfully reached another world."
