"That's how it is.●⌒"

It was obviously not what he said, but Wu Jian still gave a summary.

After hearing everything, Roland had a calm face. He actually believed it because he understood that with Wu Jian's situation, he could protect Alsace with the help of the Gistad army, but...

"These are just one-sided words of yours, and the task of attacking you is stamped by His Majesty..."

When Roland said this, he was also confused. He had already known the truth, but he had to surrender to the evil party... and this was similar to using the emperor to make the princes. It was of no use to Duke Tenardier and others, but it was very effective for upright people like Roland.

"You're too awkward, are you?"

Wu Jian looked over with contempt, and Roland just said nothing.

"Forget it, since that's the case, then I can only--"

Suddenly, Wu Jian slapped the table suddenly: "Bring someone's witness--ah, no, please come over with Earl Mashas."

After a while, Count Mashas was brought over by Tita. Because he knew in advance that Roland had been caught, he was not surprised. After seeing each other, he began to talk about it... what he saw in the capital.

The king of the Brunei Kingdom, Nice, was built on Mount Rulberon, a large city covering the entire mountain. Its origin involves myths, and no one has to pursue whether it is true or false. The focus is not this now.

From the luxurious palace located halfway up the mountain to the foot of the mountain, there is a garden full of flowers, with exquisitely decorated sculptures and fountains. This garden is called the crystallization of beauty and art. Such a garden has no architecture that can be compared with it, whether in Gistat or Mójnail. It is both the pride of the Brunette people and a symbol of the prosperity of the kingdom.

In the past, Earl Mashas would stop and enjoy the scenery here when he came here, but now he was completely in a state of no mood and hurriedly passed without even taking a look.

After passing through the garden, you can see the first pass. Most people are never allowed to pass unless they have important matters to enter the palace - even they must report it before they can pass.

"I am Mashas Lord of the Northern Odder who received the reward from His Majesty the Kingdom."

He said loudly to the soldiers guarding the city gate, and then displayed a dark gray nameplate indicating the title. After confirming the nameplate, the soldiers saluted solemnly and immediately opened the city gate.

When he was a knight, he dragged his old and short body up the stairs, and then saw the second level, and then showed the nameplate and stored the weapon before passing.

After passing two levels, Mashas could already see the palace, but even when he was walking in the cold weather, a lot of sweat still oozed out of his forehead. In addition to climbing two steps, he was also nervous - he could not know what the situation of the king's capital is now, but he still took the risk.

"My name is Mashas Lorde, the administrator of Aud, given to him by His Majesty, and is the Earl. Today we are here to discuss important matters with His Prime Minister Bodwin."

Under the sharp gaze of the guard Knight wearing iron armor and wearing a white cloak, Mashas handed out the certificate, but felt as heavy as lead in his stomach.

Although he was acquaintance with the prime minister, he actually had no reservations at all. Mashas asked his son and other relatives and friends to get this forged appointment certificate. This fabricated certificate was perfect from the eyes of others, and even the Knight of the Guards could not easily see through it. However, once it was seen through, even the count would arrest him and throw him into prison. If you want to explain, you can only wait until you get out of prison, but then it was probably too late.

But fortunately, perhaps because of the fact that the Duke of Gonroon and Duke of Tenardier were controlled by the government. The Knights of the Guards did not have the sharp eyes of the past, and his request was quickly confirmed and he was welcomed into the palace.

He walked on the very smooth marble floor, constantly passing by the nobles, guards and bureaucrats, and his pace trembled with fear - but he could also use age as an excuse.

There was no way, he had to take this risk. After coming to the capital, he discovered the new rules here - no visits were allowed and no memorials were seen. Under this premise, he could only go to see the king in person.

But what to do after coming to the palace is the biggest problem. There are guard knights in front of the king's dormitory, and these guard knights are undoubtedly the eyeliners placed by Duke Gonroon and Duke Tenardier. As long as he expresses a little intention in front of these people, he will be immediately thrown into prison and even be executed immediately.

Even if it is a great noble or minister, you cannot enter this room without His Majesty's permission. Unless it is your Majesty's maid or servant, or something. But... what should I do? As expected, can you only ask the maid or servant?

Mashas peeked at the king's dormitory in the corner, anxious. Although he could bribe the maids, the maids and servants working around the palace all had very high salaries, and it was obviously useless to use money to seduce them - he didn't have that much money, because the territory was too poor.

Just when he was worried, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Didn't you ask me for something, Count Lorde?"

Mashas was shocked and immediately turned around and found a man in gray official uniform standing there - he was the prime minister who was untied, Pierre Bodva.

“Bodeva…”

Mashas immediately showed a bitter expression, but he didn't expect to show his sank so quickly.

"There are so many people here, let's talk about it in another place." Bodeva said in a steady tone, but when he was speaking, he couldn't help but put his head over.

There is a chance!

Mashas felt aroused in his heart and followed the prime minister to a room without windows. Although it is now the world of Ganglong and Tenardier, and the prime minister has no rights left, there is still a little say in the palace - Dukes Ganglong and Duke Tenardier have not been able to do anything to this prime minister for the time being.

"Count Lordath. No matter what happened before, I think you shouldn't like the palace now...what is wrong with coming here?"

"Arsace Tigler, Wirmud, Vorun."

The prime minister asked clearly, and Mashas also said his purpose simply.

"Why don't you go through formal procedures? Whether it's a petition or a visit..." the prime minister said casually.

"I had already arrived in the capital more than ten days ago! Whether it was a petition or a visit, I had tried countless times!"

Mashas stared at the prime minister fiercely. It’s time to do this, are you still going to play a puzzle?

"I don't know who threw my petition into which corner. Because what I want to say to His Majesty is very unfavorable to both Duke Tenardier and Duke Ganglong. Even so, do you have to say that you have to do things according to the rules and regulations?"

"From my standpoint, I can only say that." The prime minister said calmly.

"I set out from Alsace in autumn. It's winter now. When will the petition pass? Spring? Or do you have to wait until the snow that hasn't even fallen yet melts?"

Even though that's the case, it's only been more than ten days, and what Mashas said is the same as the memes of December and January.

The prime minister was still very calm. He waited for Mashas to sit on the chair with breath and said, "Mashas, ​​I will let you see something next. Can you guarantee that you will never say it?"

From the prime minister's standpoint, if anyone is called, he will be named by his surname and a title is added to it. But now he calls Mashas' name directly. Is this trying to tell him something from his personal standpoint?

Mashas thought and nodded.

Then the Prime Minister took Mashas to the door of the dormitory as he was - yes, he passed by the eyes of the Knight of the Guards. This would cause trouble for him and Mashas, ​​but now he can only bless Mashas.

"Let's listen to the sound inside, don't make a sound."

Eavesdropping on the king's dormitory?

Mashas looked ridiculous, but when he saw the prime minister standing there calmly, he pressed his ear against the door.

Although the sound insulation is required here, due to the technology, Mashaas still heard the subtle sound inside.

...It seems like I heard something. This subtle sound should have been made by His Majesty. But why is there a sound of wood and stone striking gently mixed inside? What is this...

Mashas couldn't understand. After listening for a while, he gave up and looked up at the prime minister in confusion: "Your Majesty is..."

"He is playing with building blocks." The prime minister replied calmly.

Mashas's face twitched in an instant and almost shouted out loud. The Lord of a country is playing with building blocks!? Even the most famous foolish monarch has never been like this - even the young emperor will be stopped by someone.

Obviously, this is not a place to talk, and the prime minister took Mashas back to the room just now.

“How many people know about this…”

On the way back, Mashas also thought it through. His Majesty the King must have had a problem with his mind—in the true sense.

"Only a very small number of people, including me, know. As usual, we declare to them that His Majesty is ill in bed. They say this to Duke Tenardier and Duke Ganglong, and many foreign envoys. Of course, there may be people who have found the truth... or this is simply..."

The Prime Minister did not say the rest, but Mashas also understood. On the surface, even Duke Gonlon and Duke Tenardier did not know the king's situation. But in fact, it was probably one of them who did something. Otherwise, how could a wise king be hit so much because of the prince's death?

"In the current palace, the handling of government affairs is gradually stagnating. The major issues that originally required His Majesty's decision were decided by our officials after many discussions. Cases related to the nobles were handed over to the Dukes of Tynaldie and the Duke of Gonlon. We are responsible for other cases. Now the handling of government affairs has become this form. Not only that, even these parts of the cases will often be intervened by them, hindering or randomly changing, resulting in the inability to proceed."

The prime minister's tone was very heavy. Before the king was fine, he could barely suppress Dukes Tenardier and Duke Gonlon, but now...

"You... are you waiting for Tenardier and Gonlon to have a fight in the same room? Until one of them is knocked down, are you not going to care about the petitions of the nobles?"

Mashas's face became distorted due to anger. The reason why Dukes of Tenardier and Duke Gonlon unscrupulously plundered the nobles of their respective ranks was because the prime minister was not in charge, otherwise even Dukes of Tenardier and Duke Gonlon would have to restrain themselves.

"We have no means to confront Duke Tenardier and Duke Ganglong."

"Can't the Knights be dispatched?"

"If our civil servants join forces with the Knights to become the third force, it will definitely accelerate the chaos in the country. If we do this, we will be happy and we will only be the surrounding countries and thieves who take advantage of the chaos to rob."

It's cheap now!

Mashas almost wanted to yell at the prime minister. Fortunately, Wu Jian, the one who brought Gistat's war girl in, would have been in chaos if it were someone else - although it was almost the same now.

"Mashaas! I don't intend to change my mind. The petitions of the nobles will be handed over to the two dukes in the future, and I will not care about the disputes related to them. In addition, no matter what the reason is, the rebels who introduced his team must be dealt with!"

This is what Zai's view relative to Arthas, which means that Mashas's purpose of finding someone to resolve the grudge between Wu Jian and Duke Tenardier has gone bankrupt.

"Then I am talking to myself... In my country, there are several people who will not be asked about rebellion if they are introduced to his team. They are those who have righteousness - His Majesty the King himself, and those who have been recognized by His Majesty. Of course, there must be reasons for everyone around them to accept it. For example, His Majesty's niece, the wife of Duke Tynaldie, and His Majesty's nephew, the righteous brother of Duke Gonlon. In the current situation where His Majesty has neither brother nor children, these two are the closest people to the throne."

In short, Wu Jian wants to prove the legitimacy of his behavior. Only in this way can he work behind the scenes.

After obtaining this information, Mashas did not stop in the capital and rushed back quickly to tell Wu Jianluo to attack him and how to do it.

Unfortunately, Wu Jian ignored him after receiving the information, and was so anxious that he was reluctant to see Wu Jian for so many days. It was not until he got the information that Roland was caught that he rushed over to explain his experience in the royal capital.

"Because we care about the situation in Brune and the king, our king also sent me over. Unfortunately, I didn't meet again. However, before leaving, I met the attacked Earl of Mashas, ​​and escorted him all the way back. Fortunately, I didn't meet assassins along the way except when I was in the capital." Sophia said with a comfortable face.

Upon hearing this, Mashas also stood up and owed his waist, saying, "This is also due to the help of Your Excellency Zhan Ji, so that I can come back alive."

In fact, neither Mashas nor Sophia knew. There was no assassin along the way because the Hei Linggu Palace had been dealt with in secret. Moreover, he also learned that the assassin was sent by Duke Ganglong. If he hadn't been too lazy to deal with it, he would have been able to destroy Duke Ganglong at that time. Of course, he did not tell Wu Jian about the secret investigation. Unless Wu Jian asked, he would have been too lazy to tell him.

"How could it be...Your Majesty..."

Roland held his fists on the table with his hands clenched and his head was hanging down. Although he couldn't see it, his expression was probably very ferocious.

"He was poisoned. He could not control the situation anymore. He would not suffer the poisonous hands of the two dukes when he relaxed?" Nero said disapprovingly.

During her lifetime, I didn’t know how much poison she suffered…but with her style, it was probably done by a righteous man.

"...Damn it, at that time I should meet the Prime Minister first..." Roland fell deeply into regret.

"What's the use of that? Your king was already like that at that time..." Wu Jian said while working on his nails.

At this time, Roland raised his head, looked at Wu Jian and said, "I want to go back to see His Majesty!"

"Ha." Wu Jian smiled disdainfully and asked, "Are you planning to go back and drive out the forces of Duke Ganglong and Duke Tenardier?"

"...No, I'm going alone... There is no evidence at the moment, and it will cause unrest and give other countries a chance..."

"Ha, go and die?"

"I'm going even if that's the case, this is what a knight should do!"

"Knight? The so-called knight is to die. Then, after you die, no one can stop Duke Gonlon and Duke Tynaldiye. They will enter the stage of full power seizure, and after the heat, they will launch a full-scale war across the country. Then they will cause corpses to spread all over the country and the people will live in vain. In this way, other countries will have the opportunity to intervene and even send troops to invade openly. In the end, no matter who wins and who loses, the Kingdom of Brune will completely become history and disappear into this world..."

Every time Wu Jian said something, Roland's face turned pale, and his hands, who were standing on the table, kept trembling.

"Do you want me to make it clearer? Your trip is just to put out the last glimmer of hope in the Kingdom of Brune and to completely bury the Kingdom of Brune, Knight!"

With this sentence, Roland sat down with a "thump". Mashas also said: "Yes, the reason why Duke Gonlon and Duke Tenardier dare not betray Your Majesty blatantly is because they are concerned about you, Lord Roland! If something happens to you, neither they nor abroad, you will have any concerns. By then, the Kingdom of Brune will be really over!"

After hearing these words, Roland's face was still ugly, which showed his inner confusion. He understood the truth, but as a knight's rule prevented him from setting off a war without confirming the king. But it was just like what Wu Jian said, if he just went back like that, even if he could see His Majesty, he would have been dead for a lifetime.

At this time, Wu Jian knocked on the table and said, "Roland, if you are really a knight, please leave it here for me. Don't forget that you were defeated in an open and honest single-handed fight. The moment you and your regiment put down your weapons, you are already my prisoners. If I don't let you go, you don't want to leave. As a knight, you won't do anything that will not admit defeat, right?" (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
