0140 Lie down and get shot
"Here we are, finally here."
The crowd waiting at the airport looked at the sky of the "Huadu" under the scorching sun. It was not until the five black spots appeared from the clouds and gradually became larger that everyone applauded with relief.
"Play music, welcome the Privy Archbishop of Nalan." Mayor Wang Erdai shouted and temporarily pulled him from the garrison as a member of the military band of honor guard. After getting the latter's series of white eyes and disregard, the mayor had to look at the beautiful shadow standing on Tang Feng and behind him.
Leng Ruoya smiled, and the slender hand wearing snow-white gloves gently raised to the military band. The honor guards who were ordered began to play music. The majestic movement of the national anthem "Xilin Sefu" immediately warmed up the whole atmosphere to welcome the scene.
When Gu Xiaodao and Gu Erzi's private car landed safely, Tang Fengshang and General, the commander of the Third Army as the highest commander of the garrison, issued an order to all the squares behind the line: "All stand upright!" All the generals present stood with their heads held high, and civil servants such as Wang Erdai and the Fourth Master also took off their hats to salute.
The cabin door opened in front of everyone, and the well-prepared senior waiters on both sides immediately delivered the activity steps covered with a large red carpet to the hatch quickly. In the enthusiastic applause of the welcoming team, the chief cabinet minister of the Shaman Holy See and the chief minister of the first representative of the mission, Cardinal Archbishop Nalan Ruochu, has been full of spring breeze. Appearing in the hatch, other entourage, such as Mr. Huo Du, the deputy commander, Mr. Ming, the commander of the gendarmerie, and the general, did not appear in the hatch with Lord Nalan, but only let the old man enjoy the glory brought by the grand welcome ceremony and cheers alone.
"My uncle, Feng'er, on behalf of the 100,000 soldiers and all citizens of the Garo City garrison, sincerely welcome you." Tang Feng gave a cordial hug to his mother Nalan Ruoxue's brother and his elders.
"Well, the wind, compared with the 'Huadu' two years ago, the sea breeze blew you dark, but it also trained hard." Nalan, who was as pale as snow, happily beat the younger generation twice with his fist.
"The old man has worked hard all the way. Wang Er will stay here to say good wishes to you." Seizing a gap, Wang Er hurriedly flattered.
"Oh, are you the mayor here? I have heard about your achievements in 'Huadu' for a long time. It's very good. In recent years, the Holy See has borrowed a lot from your Wang Xia family. This time, your niece, Princess Yaya, has made great sacrifices with Prince Fuji. His Holiness will not treat your family badly. The old man is very friendly.
"Yes, yes, Bei Zhi and his brother Nanxuan and other elders work together to maintain it." Wang Er was flattered.
"It turns out that this thin dog-like mayor is actually Yaya's uncle. No wonder he looks a little like the old man's turtle egg-" Anton said secretly in the welcoming team.
There are five brothers and sisters in the Wang Xia family. Xia Nanxuan was originally surnamed Wang. When he was young, he was adopted by the Xia family because of his poor family. His eldest son Wang Lei was originally the illegitimate son of his wife Xu Yuxia and the old Pope Baiye Changqing before he married. Now he has been awarded the title of "Prince Rui", and his daughter, Princess Yaya, has become an alliance with the "Canglang Empire" this time. Because of these reasons, General Xia Nanxuan's own brothers, Wang Guidan, Wang Erdai and others, have all been reused by the Holy See.
Wang Er's stay among the brothers other than General Xia Nanxuan is still of good conduct. In the two years in office, he has not made any big mistakes as a hostage. The words of his boss really made this mediocre person grateful.
As the leader of the civilian department of the Holy See, Lord Nalan kindly patted the shoulder of a tearful and ugly subordinate mayor, showing the harmony of the relationship between superiors and subordinates. When the old man turned his eyes to a group of military officers, he did not show too much enthusiasm, but did not say anything to Leng Ruoya and other five After preaching a few words, he put his eyes on Brigadier General Antonye, the last of the ranks of military officers. Noticing the inquiring eyes of the superior, the latter immediately issued a report:
"Report to the head of the mission, the advance team's preparations are all in place, waiting for your order at any time."
"Well, very good. As soon as the two Counts Sun and Rong arrive tomorrow, we will leave immediately." Hearing that the mission could leave at any time, the old man nodded approvingly.
At the welcome banquet, Tang Fengshang presented antique calligraphy and paintings and singers and dancers to the two mission leaders, and the guests were happy. After exchanging the cup, the Privy Archbishop Nalan Ruochu asked the fourth master who was sitting at the head and said, "Fourth Master, how sure about borrowing from the Imperial Bank?"
The fourth master, who was asked by name, hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Wen Si thought that the proposal to borrow 50 million gold coins from Canglang this time was unlikely to pass for no other reason. In recent years, the young soldiers of the empire represented by Prince Fuji have used troops to the 'Wind Wing Kingdom', and the military expenditure has far exceeded far exceeded To put it more realistically, if the military does not solve the war of the 'Wolf City' in a short time, the Musashi royal family is likely to be impeached and overthrown by the elders; under such circumstances, it may be impossible for our Holy See to propose such a huge number of low-interest loans - humble opinion, is it? Consider adjusting the amount again-"
Before the arrival of Count Sun Yabin, the second minister of finance, as the chief purchasing officer of the Holy See and the president of the Central Bank, a few words showed his master of the operation of the financial and economic system.
"Well, the concerns of the fourth master are also very realistic. Well, tomorrow, I will draft a new agreement with Count Sun, with a small amount of about 30 million. On the surface, it will still be based on the original 50 million amount, and decide whether to come up with another agreement after contacting the three giants of the empire's financial world." After a little consideration of the economic aspect, Nalan's old man's thinking turned to the military aspect again:
"Zi Ming, do you have a chance of winning this armament proposal to buy armored combat vehicles?"
The teacher's question made the supreme military representative of the mission who was thinking about this issue smile bitterly: "Students believe that the biggest reason why the Canglang people are currently working with the Holy See is due to the pressure of domestic public opinion and eagerness to solve the stale war of the 'wolf capital'. His intention is just to take advantage of the Holy See; they want to It's really difficult for them to provide military assistance and buy armored combat vehicles through normal channels.
Hearing the expected answer, the old man Nalan was silent for a long time, and then turned his eyes to the end of the seat. From the moment he sat down, he buried himself in the food in front of him without saying a word, "Don't you think, Dongye?"
Due to the disparity in status with the participants, Antonno never imagined that the superior would ask him a "security captain". The momentary silence made some bureaucrats secretly laugh because they mistakenly that they did not have their own opinions, but soon Antonye became sharp. The eyes made these guys honestly change their inner thoughts.
"If you don't sell it, rob it!" Andongye's bold and straightforward speech shocked the officials present, and many people were choked by the wine and soup in their mouths. Only the highest-ranking old man at the top laughed happily and said, "Dongye, I heard that you recruited prostitutes last night - still a teenage child -"
"Your Excellency clearly observed that the general only gave the little girl named An Lin'er some travel expenses to go home, and did not take her to spend the night. He thought that some bad intentions spread rumors and slandered and attacked the generals." Anton was shocked by his ambition and stood up angrily.
"Your Excellency, the generals are responsible for the garriage of General Higashino, which can confirm that General Higashino has been wronged." The words of Leng Ruoya, the general of the Royal Guard, played a very important role, making the seat whisper silent.
"It's best if nothing happens." The old man said earnestly and majestically, "Dongye, you are still young, and there is still a long way to go in the future. Don't be greedy for a moment and ruin your good future."
Andongye was stared at the ice by the old man's burning eyes and said in panic, "I will follow the teachings."
"I'm old and a little tired. You young people can do what you want." When everyone respectfully looked at the old man's figure leaving the table, the heavy feeling of Tang Feng, General and Mr. Huo Du and others disappeared. They unscrupulously stroked their fists and prostitutes, and drank flowers and wine.
On the second day, after Sun Yabin and Rong Diewu and others, who were the third group of members of the mission, arrived, the anxious archbishop Nalan Ruochu immediately, together with all the members of the mission, said goodbye to the generals and local officials of the Garo City Garrison, and took the cruise ship provided by Tang Feng out of the Gallo River waterway to Tianyi Harbor. Dock, take the waterway to envoy the empire.
The flowing water of the "Galo River" flows gently in the moonlight, emitting charming light. Antonye sat silently at the stern of the boat. However, the river raised the sound of horses' hoofs from far to near, which unexpectedly broke this rare calm--
"Dad, in the evening, I fought with a group of militants on the dam of the guard cavalry. To be sure, it was the reconnaissance team of the pirate group. According to the interrogation, the number of people can be inferred to be more than 50,000, and the road back to 'Galo' has been cut off." An Xiaoyu turned over and disemblaged his horse and eagerly reported it.
The uneasy news was immediately reported to the superior who had gone to bed. Surrounded by the pale faces of the embassy officials, the old man Nalan still maintained the composure that the state should have and turned his eyes to the uniformed expert: "Can't you send someone back to 'Galo City' to ask for help from the garrison?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm afraid it's too late. The subordinates estimate that the other party will take action before dawn. If it hadn't been found by the sent by us, we would have been more passive. Now we can only fight back!" Andono answered truthfully.
