honor me as god

Chapter 551
(two in one chapter)
Ge Mai and Lin Gengsen were extremely entangled by these words. First of all, they had to admit that what Kino said was very reasonable. They had indeed bet on a certain prince and princess before.

This is impossible. How can one live without a backer in the position of "provincial official"?To be a lone minister?In the 513th year of the founding of Doguland, how many lonely ministers died well?
What the courtiers fear most is the replacement of the throne. If they only serve one king in their life, they are extremely lucky. But if the king dies unfortunately, the courtiers will face a choice. One, the kind of foolishness is the most unpopular. Even if the bet wins, this kind of person will not be trusted.

The current situation is indeed as Chino said, no one knows which of Perseus's children will be in power in the future, and the probability of winning a bet is only one-third.

If they can now have a relationship with Lorna, the "Left Hand of the King" who will be designated in the future, there will indeed be no "wrong bet".

But the problem is, now they don't know whether Lorna and Kino are really here to win people's hearts, or they are deliberately playing tricks here.

Don't forget, Kino came here with Wang Ling this time, in case he was given a secret mission by His Majesty the King - to find out the truth about the fire at the Dragon Fire Festival - when they confessed foolishly, Kino turned back If the information is transferred to the royal family, they will really die without a place to bury them, and no one will be able to protect them.

Gomez decided to be conservative and not to take risks, so he leaned forward and asked nonchalantly, "We are very willing to work for His Royal Highness, but I don't know, what can we do now?"

Seeing that they understood, Kino finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Now that we understand everything, we can talk about it——His Royal Highness just came of age not long ago, and the fact that she has a poor relationship with her father, It is obvious to all, so His Highness is going to start to manage his own power."

Just when Go Mai and others were about to answer the conversation, Du Mingwei suddenly asked: "Since you are talking about it, why don't you talk about it——His Royal Highness will sit firmly in the position of the "Left Hand of the King" in the future, but how can you say it?" , There is always a crown prince who I support in my heart.Are we lucky enough to know who this person is? "

Lorna asked casually: "Who do you think I support?"

Du Mingwei smiled, and asked back: "I don't have mind reading skills, how can I know who His Royal Highness is supporting?"

The corners of Lorna's lips raised a sarcasm, and she said slowly: "The crown prince must support a reliable person for matters related to the country's plans. Who do you think is reliable? Bolton, who only knows how to fight?"

Kino shook his head immediately: "Unreliable, unreliable."

Lorna sneered: "Bolton can't be relied on, who can I rely on? Solandelle? A piano player."

"It's even more unreliable!" Kino said with disgust on his face, "Who is a decent person to play the piano!"

Lorna sat back in the chair, laid her slender legs on the table casually, and asked lightly: "These two are unreliable, who do you think I rely on?"

Ge Mai and Lin Gengsen couldn't help showing knowing smiles, as if meeting comrades in the same trench, they nodded in unison.

Du Mingwei scrutinized Lorna's expression carefully, and couldn't help squinting his eyes: "Your Highness, as far as I know, you have a very good relationship with His Highness Ninth Princess Solandelle. You don't have the slightest support for the crown prince." What does she mean?"

Lorna patted her long legs, brushed off the cat hair on her trousers, and said old-fashionedly: "The public is the public, and the private is the private. Everyone knows that the "Prince of Kindness" Andre is what the people want and what everyone expects. I Is it necessary to go against the trend?Besides, if I don't support Solandelle as Queen, I can't be friends with her?Is there a necessary connection between the two? "

Du Mingwei lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking, and finally said nothing.

Kino clapped his hands and called everyone's attention: "Having said this, I think everyone should understand that if His Royal Highness wants to develop his power to support the future crown prince, he cannot do without money, and it is a lot of money. "

"Money is hard to come by! Now that His Highness is an adult, Master Sting no longer provides pocket money and living expenses. Even if he does, it is still a small amount of money, not enough for daily expenses, let alone business power."

"Then here comes the question. Where do you get a lot of money from? Let me tell you, of course it is from Danyu City! Now His Royal Highness needs money, and you need someone to help with the aftermath. Don't we share the same interests?"

Gomez's eyes wandered, and his tone was not as firm as it was at first, but he still pretended to be confused and forced a smile: "What does this 'like-minded' refer to? Can you explain it more clearly?"

Kino snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "I have a proposal—the 162 million tons of relief food that you secretly hid, anyway, you can't take it out now, and you can't dispose of it. It's a hot potato in your hands."

"And I have a blank letter from His Majesty the King in my hand, so I can do whatever I want. That's just right. I'll find a way to help you secretly withdraw the 162 million tons of grain! As for the money after the withdrawal." Kino smiled and rubbed his fingers. , made a common action all over the world.

Having said that, the vigilance of the officials in Danyu City has weakened a lot, but it is not gone.

Ge Mai secretly exchanged glances with Lin Gengsen, and Chino was right, the amount of 162 million tons of grain is too large, and all of them are easily identifiable century-old wheat. It's difficult, if they put it in their hands for a day, they can't sleep well.

Kino is indeed a perfect helper, but the question is can this person really be trusted?

When life and death are at stake, someone suddenly descends from the sky and says he wants to give you a hand. Whether this person is an angel who helps others or a demon who pushes people to hell, no one can tell.

Years of experience as an official, coupled with caution in sensitive times, made Ge Mai hold back the steps he wanted to step forward. He bowed to Kino and Lorna with a smile on his face, and his tone was very innocent: "His Royal Highness regards us so much, we can't repay you." , we must obey! It’s just that we have never done what Consul Chino said about stealing millions of tons of grain!”

The atmosphere turned cold in an instant, and the corners of Lorna's lips slowly settled down. She looked at Gomeg coldly. There was no anger on her face, but she was not angry. The coercion brought by the dragon's blood became more and more intense. The dead silence added a touch of suffocating depression.

Kino's expression was a bit resentful, and he said anxiously: "You guys."

"Forget it." Lorna snorted coldly, her eyes full of contemptuous arrogance, "We are honest with others, and if they are full of defenses and don't trust us, what else is there to say? If I haven't been here, let it be like this , We will go our separate ways in the future, there is no need to communicate any more.”

Seeing that Lorna was about to leave, Ge Mai and the others were also in a dilemma. If His Royal Highness were to be allowed to leave like this, the bridge would be closed. Life was already difficult, and it would be even worse in the future.

Gome hurried to Lorna's side and stammered, "Your Highness, don't, don't go. How about, why don't you stay and have a meal?"

With a cold face, Lorna pushed Gomez aside and strode away.

Seeing this, Kino sighed heavily, and looked at Gomei and the others with disappointing eyes: "We came to help with good intentions, and you just responded like this? It really makes His Royal Highness feel cold."

"At least you can rest assured that we will not inform you. But I want to see how long you can hide the 162 million tons of grain without our help."

"Right now, the surrounding area of ​​Danyu City has been completely under martial law. Not only are my death squads, but also the eyeliner sent by His Majesty the King, and all the passes have been put on [-]-point alert. Without my blank handbook, your food would be It can't be dealt with until it's rotten."

"Hehe, if something happens at that time, don't come to us."

These words made Ge Mai very nervous, because the fact is that there is no way to cover it now. It can be delayed for a day, but no one knows how long it can be delayed.

Gomez followed behind Lorna in small steps, and said anxiously: "Don't leave, both of you, let's talk again?"

"I don't talk to people who are not sincere." Lorna ignored him and walked out without turning her head.

"How can you prove that you can help us?" Suddenly, Du Mingwei's voice broke the deadlock.

Du Mingwei looked sideways at Lorna's back, his eyes were unfathomable, as if he wanted to penetrate her heart: "You said you can help us, but how can we believe what you say? We can't just say something empty, Just let us trust you?"

Lorna stopped in her tracks, turned around slowly, and smiled contemptuously: "To put it bluntly, don't you just think that I'm deliberately telling you what to say, trying to seize substantive evidence and expose your crimes."

Domington: "So what?"

"Then you really think highly of yourself." Lorna walked back to her seat and sat down, resting her long legs on the table in a loose manner, with her face on her side with her small hands, and her tone was quite joking, "Ask a question, you guys are better than Abao how?"

"A Bao?" Everyone was puzzled, why did it involve this person again?
Du Mingwei said silently: "A Bao is the three-clawed golden dragon of the Far East Dynasty, and it is the most important part of the trade between the two countries. Of course we can't compare."

Lorna sneered, and looked at Kino meaningfully: "Tell them about the good things you have done?"

Kino's expression changed, and he muttered in horror, "Your Highness?"

"Say." Lorna's tone was beyond doubt.

Everyone was at a loss. They didn't know what was going on that could make Mu Mu Reaper so nervous.

Kino wiped off the sweat on his forehead with trembling hands, took a deep breath to calm down, and finally faced the crowd and said in a low voice, "Ah Bao. I killed it."

It was like a sharp knife cut through, cutting off everyone's breath.

Needle drop can be heard in the room, and even the thick and heavy heartbeat can be heard clearly.

Slowly, there was a sound of gasping, and everyone looked at Kino with horrified eyes, even Du Mingwei, who was the deepest man in the city, was stunned.

Gomez was so shocked that he stuttered: "You, Bao, Bao, you killed it?! Are you serious?! You, you, how do you prove it?!"

Kino touched his space ring, took out a simple ring from it, and put it on the table solemnly: "If any of you have dealt with Ah Bao, you should be able to recognize this."

Du Mingwei took the ring and looked it over carefully, his gaze became gloomy and deep.

As the richest man in Danyu City, he had dealt with Abao a lot in the past. This ring was a very favorite carry-on of Abao.

This kind of belongings fell into the hands of Kino, there is only one possibility.
Lorna looked at the crowd contemptuously, and her voice was full of the majesty of a superior: "Kino killed Bao, which almost triggered a war between the two countries. I can help him keep this kind of thing that should exterminate the whole family. You just Is it because of greed for government food, is it more troublesome than Qino's matter?"

Ge Mai's eyes were empty, and he asked blankly: "No. Why did you kill Bao?"

"It's a long story. Anyway, when we were doing business before, I had some conflicts with Bao and accidentally killed him." Kino said here, bowed his head to Lorna, and said humbly, "If If it wasn't for His Royal Highness to protect me, I'm afraid I would have already... Hey, my life was given by His Highness, and His Highness has given me the grace of rebuilding, I have nothing to repay, I can only risk my life to follow!"

Lorna said unhurriedly: "Kino is my friend. If my friend is in trouble, of course I will not sit idly by. Moreover, he can provide me with many extraterrestrial appliances, which is very valuable to me. We are mutually beneficial. "

She immediately looked at Ge Mai and the others: "What about you, it's still the same sentence. Friends, we should help each other. I helped you today, and maybe I will need you to help me someday in the future."

"Of course, whether you accept this friendship or not is your own business."

Facing the olive branch thrown by Lorna, Du Mingwei's gaze gradually changed from dull to clear, and he lowered his head slowly, without saying a word.

That's how people are, dirty people and clean people don't like each other, but if everyone has shit on their butts, they often smell like each other and work together.

At this moment, Ge Mai's defenses were finally completely let go. He quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Lorna, and said sincerely, "His Royal Highness, please forgive our previous guard. We were really, really scared at the time, please forgive me." us."

Lorna didn't say anything, and slowly got up and walked in front of Gomez, looking down at him with those crimson pupils, and then moved the back of her hand in front of him.

In the tradition of the Dogoland Kingdom, the "hand kiss" symbolizes the respect of the inferiors to the superiors, by which the superiors declare their status, and the inferiors express their submission.

Gomer was flattered and rushed to kiss the back of Lorna's hand, and the other officials rushed over to express their submission.

After Du Mingwei, who was last in line, finished kissing his hands, Lorna looked around with a satisfied smile on her face: "Since everyone has reached a consensus, we don't have to hide it anymore, we can say whatever we want. "

Gome suddenly laughed apologetically, and deliberately complained to Kino: "Consul Kino, you really made us miserable! If you hadn't killed Abao, our plan of purchasing farming instead of farming would have been implemented smoothly. You are in this situation! You~"

Chino smiled apologetically: "This is my fault, next time I will invite everyone to drink to apologize!"

Gome laughed loudly, and beckoned everyone to sit down: "Then let's have a drink and talk next time, let's talk about the real thing today. His Royal Highness is aware of the fact that we have indeed hidden the 162 million tons of relief food. I don't know what His Royal Highness thinks What do you plan to do?"
