Miss Wang Weina, my cousin can't do it either!

Wayne closed his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.Was Kelsey's answer wrong?Strictly speaking, yes.Standing in her position, as the Prince of Wales, the most trusted staff member of the true ruler of the Victoria Empire, the advice she gave was almost the most suitable for the current situation.

You can watch your opponent without doing anything, and a aggressive challenger collapses by himself, why not do it?Victoria just needs to reap the benefits, and maybe take advantage of it as she witnessed the collapse of Colombia.

But Wayne knows that there is actually another possibility for all of this and what Ursus is facing. This possibility does not come from one person, nor is it restricted by Terra’s current environment, because it is a kind of thought. , a system that Wien has been trying and reforming, but has never really practiced.

At this moment, Wayne clearly realized what was behind those short words of "historical limitations" in those profound history books he had read in his previous life.Even a person like Kelsey, who is unparalleled in resourcefulness and has countless experiences, cannot escape the famous "Thucydides Trap" and the vicious circle called "historical limitations".

Want to help Ursus?Or do nothing?Is it possible for the spark to be ignited for the first time in an ancient feudal empire like in the previous life?Or is it impossible for such a miracle to happen again under Terra's unique circumstances?If miracles do happen, what should I do?

How exciting and heavy is the word miracle?

Wayne took a deep breath, and then let it out. When he opened his eyes again, there was already a bit of determination in them.

"help."

He said softly, but with an unquestionable tone.

Gambling chances on possibilities is not his Wayne's style. Instead of letting a thousand coincidences happen and a miracle is born, it is better for him to build tall buildings bit by bit.Wayne Bruce is an active activist with roots. Isn't it more reliable to put the treasure on himself than to put the treasure on Tyra?

Why should I believe that a piece of rotten land can give birth to hope?I am hope myself, why should I make room for others?

A generation has a mission for a generation, Wayne must first complete his own mission, and to complete this mission, the current status of the Victorian Empire cannot be challenged by Ursas for the time being.Instead of adding the word "Alliance" to Ursus, Wayne is more willing to bully a bunch of backward-thinking feudal nobles.In that case, he also has a huge advantage.

He stood up and straightened his clothes:

"I'll explain it to you at the dance tonight. Kelsey..."

He stretched out his hand, the white gloved hand hanging in front of Kelsey,

"Can I ask you to dance tonight?"

Chapter 140 Eight Balls and Bargaining

Ursus Empire, Saint Jun Castle, a corner of the palace banquet hall.

Wayne held Kelsey's hand. Although one of them was wearing a white gentleman's glove and the other was wearing a white silk tulle glove, it didn't affect the feeling of each other's mood when they held hands together.

According to the rhythm of the music, Wayne raised his hand and hooked Kelsey's hand. Kelsey, who was wearing a white fluffy dress, lightly tiptoed and turned around in a circle. The slightly fluttering dress made her It looks like a blooming white lotus.Wayne stretched out his hand, and firmly held Kelsey's waist when she stopped, and straightened her from a slightly toppled position bit by bit according to the rhythm.The overall movement is done in one go, no less than those old dance partners who have practiced countless times.

Those Ursus nobles who danced in the golden hall watched the dance steps of the two. Who would have thought that they would be partners for the first time?

"Your dancing skills have improved a lot, Your Highness Wayne."

Kelsey praised in a voice that only the two of them could hear.Wayne nodded proudly:

"Because I have practiced."

"I thought you were the type who was not interested in this kind of court etiquette at all." Kelsey chuckled, "When Queen Wei Na was forced by those etiquette teachers to disguise herself and go to the street to find her friends from the Glasgow Gang , you have been watching the theater. Who would have thought that the court dance of His Royal Highness Wayne is not even as good as that of His Royal Highness Teresia?"

"It doesn't matter if you dance or not, what's the matter if you don't know etiquette?"

Wayne made some embarrassing rebuttals, followed by some incomprehensible words such as "doing great things regardless of small details" and "court etiquette are all feudal dross", Kelsey showed a rare smile.

Appreciating the rare and relaxed smile from the heart of the always stern old lynx, Wayne's embarrassment of being defeated by an army disappeared, and his footsteps were lightly stepped on with the drumbeat of the music, coordinating with Kelsey Although the two were on the edge of the hall, they seemed to be the center of the crowd.

At the end of the song, when the Ursas Royal Classical Orchestra played in the banquet hall let go of the strings and flutes in their hands, the emperor of Ursas, His Majesty Fyodor, was wearing a heavy dress with intricate patterns and intricate ribbons , holding a shaking red wine glass, walked down the steps step by step, and handed the red wine glass in one hand to Wayne:

"His Royal Highness, please."

"Thank you." Wayne took the wine glass and handed it to Kelsey beside him.Kelsey took the wine glass and skillfully placed it on the table beside her.

Drinking was wrong.The Ursas have a tradition of talking about big things with people while drinking. Fyodor handed him the wine, not because he really wanted to have a drink with him, but it meant that he was going to start talking about serious things with himself.

If it were someone else, Fyodor would probably turn around and leave without drinking this glass of wine, but Wei En was different. After all, he wanted Victoria, and Wei En represented Victoria, so he naturally had the right to refuse this glass of wine.

Fyodor smiled, turned sideways, made way for a path, and wound up along the crescent-shaped stairs. It was the second floor of the banquet hall, and in the depths of the second floor, where afternoon tea tables and chairs were placed, was An unnamed exquisite room.

Wayne nodded understandingly, took Kelsey's hand, and walked towards the second floor on the red carpet.Fyodor turned his head and waved to the Ursus nobles who stopped dancing and lowered their heads to question the emperor:

"Everyone, I promise you will not forget."

"When the talks are over and the ballroom dance continues, at that time, whoever of you can convince Mr. Wayne, whether it is money or sex, eloquence or benefits, no matter what means, it is your ability. Of course..." Fyodor's eyes narrowed, "You are not allowed to use force, let alone threaten my guests! Otherwise, what awaits you is a dead end."

After Fyodor finished speaking, he glanced at everyone's reactions, then turned around, followed the path that Wayne had walked, and walked up to the second floor with heavy steps.

He didn't need to say these words, it should be the basic etiquette of a diplomat, but most of the nobles at the scene were not diplomats at all, and some people had nothing to do with the word diplomacy in their entire lives. Some self-respecting local warlords.Rather than regretting it after something really went wrong, Fyodor would rather lower his standards for these nobles and say hello in advance.

He stood in front of the door of the room, and the guard at the door respectfully opened the door for him. Fyodor stepped inside, fixed his gaze on Wayne who was seated first, and solemnly sat on the opposite sofa.Bowing slightly, he brought up two strong wine bottles and three glasses from under the table.

Vodka!The special product of Ursus, even Victoria, the world factory that claims to have everything, is difficult to perfectly imitate and restore Ursas wine!When he got the wine glass and smelled the wine, Fyodor's tense heartstrings relaxed a lot.

Wine table negotiation is a feature of Ursas, you have to taste it!And as we all know, no one can defeat the Ursus at the wine table!

"Your Highness Wayne, Ms. Kelsey, please."

He poured half glasses of vodka for the two of them and a glass for himself, and said to himself,

"Each of you has half a glass, and I have a glass each. Talk while drinking."

Wayne and Kelsey looked at each other, Kelsey's eyes showed a bit of worry, she shook her head at Wayne calmly, then she stretched out her hand, picked up her wine glass on the table, and took a sip Down.

His Highness Wayne may not be able to drink it, but I do.

More than ten years ago, I was the director of the Ursus Royal Institute!When you Fyodor was a child, although I never hugged you, I still saw you!

Leave it to me today.

"Refreshing, as expected of Ms. Kelsey." Fyodor applauded and praised, then picked up the glass in front of him, and drank it in one gulp.After drinking a glass of strong wine, he said without blushing and heartbeat:

"I couldn't sleep at night after I went back to what His Royal Highness suggested. After thinking about it, I think it makes sense. But isn't it a bit unfair to me?"

fair?Who is fair to you?We were originally unequal.

Wayne complained in his heart, and naturally knew what Feodold meant.

It's nothing more than: This Duke of Kosiche is my dear friend, brother, the pillar of the country of Ursus, the minister of the humerus of the empire, so I need to pay more.

It's okay, Wayne is not short of money.After returning to Lateran, the Holy Maiden, Miss Michael, sang with Mostima, which was considered to have helped Wayne clean up his situation in Lateran again.Now, in the eyes of the Lateran people, Wayne is whiter than a white lotus, the kind that might even be canonized after death.

The latest wave of [missionary subsidy] is already on the way. It is probably really to subsidize Wayne and make Wayne feel at ease. Even Wayne, who has a high amount this time, is a little embarrassed-a full [-] million Rutland gold.

It's a one-time addition to everything that hasn't been posted before.Converting the exchange rate between Lateran and Victoria, even if Wayne increased the Victoria gold coins given to Fyodor to 5000 million, he would still have more than [-] million Victoria gold coins left.earned a lot!

Add money, add money to me, I, Wayne, have nothing but money, and any problems related to money are not a problem.

Feeling relaxed and joyful in his heart, but Wayne still showed a hesitant expression on his face, saying:

"Is it so difficult? Then forget it..."

Fyodor Erkan immediately raised his hand: "No!"

Chapter 140 Spoiler

"I believe that His Royal Highness Wayne will naturally not have any ill-will towards a Duke of Ursus for no reason. Could you tell me a thing or two?"

Fyodor put down his hands and said with a smile.

Wayne looked at Kelsey, and Kelsey immediately leaned into his ear and translated softly: "Tell me why Kosche was arrested, make up a reason, and give him a step down."

Wayne nodded knowingly: "Oh—" He looked bitter, and explained to Fyodor:

"Your Majesty Fyodor doesn't know something. Kosich is a big traitor. His Majesty's Third Army now only knows about Kosich, not Ursus."

Wayne doesn't know Ursus, and Fyodor's words are all translated by Kelsey, a Terra know-it-all who has lived in Ursas for many years.Hearing what Wen En said, Kelsey subconsciously prepared to translate it to Fyodor, but before she could speak, she suddenly reacted, looked at Wen En, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "Are you serious?"

Wayne shrugged: "It's made up."

A vein popped up in Kelsey's head, and he pinched Wayne's waist. The painful Wayne quickly twisted his waist and avoided: "You should make up something decent! Just talk about this kind of thing when you come up, Wu Would the emperor of Sass believe it?"

Wayne waved his hand, signaling Kelsey to feel at ease: "Why don't you believe me, just say it. I have my own plans."

Kelsey frowned and looked at Wayne for a while. Wayne had no intention of withdrawing his life at all, and still maintained a firm look. Then he turned his head helplessly, looked at Fyodor who was a little confused, and tried to speak as gently as possible. road:

"Your Majesty Fyodor, His Highness Venn said that according to his information, Kosich ignored your will and colluded with His Majesty's Third Army guarding the East."

Fyodor, who was still wondering what Wayne and Kelsey were hesitating just now, changed his face and frowned. A pair of falcons locked on Wayne straight, as if he wanted to see from his face order something.

What he meant just now was very simple, that is, to tell Wayne that things are negotiable, and it's not impossible if you don't want to increase the money.Then you have to give me a suitable reason to help you arrest Kosche, for example, he took your money, he cut off a certain batch of Victoria’s goods, he insulted you or Victoria’s young man in public My queen, such "big or small" diplomatic mistakes.

This kind of mistake is a personal grievance if it is small, but it is a diplomatic incident if it is big, and it is humiliating to the country.Then I, Fyodor, don't have to take the risk of offending the nobles to fabricate a crime, and this kind of thing is extremely easy to fabricate, and there is no way to verify it.Make it up, and let me verify it for you. The Emperor of Ursus has no money, food, or helper now, but he doesn’t have anything else. His reputation among the people of Ursas is still good.As soon as I opened my mouth, it was officially stamped. It doesn’t matter whether Kosche scolded you or not.

But what do you mean by coming up directly to give me a blast?Did you make it up, or did you really learn about it from the intelligence agencies? Is it true?

But Wayne always maintained that half-smile expression, even if Fyodor showed off his majesty as an emperor, Wayne was still unmoved at all.

You are an emperor, and I am also half an emperor. You can't overwhelm me. If you want to know, just ask.

Fyodor's big nose twitched, and his face changed several times. In the end, he couldn't ignore the amount of information in Vinn's sentence just now, and asked:

"Why did His Highness Wayne say that? Duke Kosich's collusion with the Third Army is an internal matter of Ursus. Where did you get the news from?"

Kelsey bit the bullet and translated Fyodor's words to Wen En, who smiled and said unceremoniously:

"You have no sincerity, and you still want to dig out my channel? Then I might as well not talk about it. Should we eat, drink, go down and play music and dance?"

As he spoke, he put his hand on Kelsey's, Kelsey gave him a blank look, and turned his head to translate the original words.Fyodor gritted his teeth and looked at Wayne's actions, not knowing whether he was really refusing or threatening.He never said why he wanted to arrest Kosche, but instead threw the question back to himself.It's not a good thing to force yourself to ask him instead.

Anxious, he could only pour himself another glass of wine, show it to Wayne, and then finish it in one gulp.

"Sincerity. I don't ask about your channel, you tell me why you said that."

Wayne nodded in satisfaction:

"You can find your military minister, as well as that Islam Witt, he is a capable minister, I think he should have noticed some clues, and ask them about the transfer of the Third Army in the past few years Questions, and the movements of the following Ursus people."

Wayne paused, and after casting an anxious gaze under Fyodor's frowning brow, he slowly said the names:

"The Grand Duke of Baikal, Sergei, the deputy commander of the Third Army and Governor of Rosin, and Viscount Kirke."

Fyodor's eyes flashed brightly, he couldn't wait to stand up, pushed the door out, stood in front of the balcony railing on the second floor, scanned the dancing nobles downstairs, and soon found Werther and the military minister , Werther seemed to have a sense of what would happen today, he always raised his head to look in the direction of the railing from time to time, just in time to meet Fyodor's dark and angry gaze, his heart tightened, and he loosened his arms The daughter of the Count of Antigonus bowed to Fyodor.

Fyodor opened his mouth, Wirt frowned, read the name that the emperor chanted, and quickly and accurately walked up to the military minister who was talking and laughing with others, and grabbed his hand. Wrist, after a whisper, led him up to the second floor.

Fyodor stared at the two in silence for a few seconds, finally nodded, brought the two into the room, and asked straight to the point:

"I have a few things to ask you, you two answer one by one, tell what you know. Don't lie or hide, you know the consequences."

Werther bowed calmly and said: "Of order." The military minister was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't know what happened, and when he saw Werther's movement, he quickly followed and bowed: "Understood, Your Majesty."

Fyodor glanced at Wayne, who nodded slightly.Then he turned his head, his face was frosty, and asked word by word:

"Witter, tell me Grand Duke Baikal, Viscount Kerke's movements this year. Sanino, tell me the recent situation of the Third Army and their deputy commander, the Rosin Governor."

Chapter 150 Loyalty

Ursus Empire, the main hall of the palace, on the throne where light and darkness meet.The sturdy Ursus giant unleashed his anger wantonly, and even the armrest of the throne was smashed with a few dents:

"It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. How dare a mere duke do such a thing, how dare to hide from me and his emperor, and decide the future direction of the Ursus Empire without authorization? Who gave him the power? Who gave him the power? Your guts?!"

Fyodor stopped talking suddenly, looked directly at the silent Islam Veit who was kneeling on one knee at the bottom of the steps, clenched and loosened his fists:

"Witter, you are not a jester, I believe you are a capable man, a man who can understand Ursus and see the suffering of this country, I ask you, have you not been aware of the Third Army and Is Kosich's dog in the camp?"

"I didn't notice it." Islam Wit said apologetically, "If I had noticed, I would definitely not let the matter develop to this point."

Following the sudden suspension of the dance party under the furious order of Emperor Ursus, everyone's eyes were on what the furious giant bear had talked to Wayne in the room.But only Werther and the Minister of Military Affairs knew that Fyodor had almost never discussed anything with Wayne. All the conversations he had were with Werther and Minister of Military Affairs Sanino, and the questions he asked were all about the eastern jurisdiction of the Ursus Empire. military and noble affairs.

But it is these details that are usually ignored by people. After being told by the two of them bit by bit, and then pieced together bit by bit, a shocking fact is revealed-the east of the Ursus Empire, An evil duke is planning to drag the empire into a war with another ancient country, and this sensational plot has the support of the imperial army and many local nobles!

Fort Saint Jun was kept in the dark, Werther was kept in the dark, and the Minister of Military Affairs was also kept in the dark. The Duke of Longevity named Kosiche cleverly hid all the abnormalities in his daily life. So much so that no one in the huge Ursus Empire could see that something was going on in the East.In the end, it was actually relying on a prince who came from afar from a foreign country to connect everything together and expose the conspiracy.

Werther felt a little bitter in his heart. It was a good thing to prevent a war that might drag Ursus into the abyss, but this war was prevented by outsiders. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?

"White."

Fyodor called out in a low voice, and Werther raised his head, and was surprised to find that the expression on the face of the young Ursus Emperor was a little pale, and even his lips were trembling slightly.He hastily replied:

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Fyodor clenched the armrest, trying to maintain a calm expression, which seemed a bit reluctant, and his throat, which was hoarse for a while due to excessive angry roar, sounded a bit sad. He raised his head and looked at the sky above the throne. The huge double-headed eagle flag of the Ursus Empire pursed its lips:

"Witt, tell me, was the inner guard involved in this matter?"

Werther was taken aback for a moment, thoughts were racing through his mind, and the cold sweat had wet his clothes unknowingly.Was the inside guard involved?

"No."

When Werther bowed and said this, he didn't even believe it himself.

The inner guards of Ursus, the sharp blades of the emperor, they are the trump cards of the empire against the demon front, and they are also one of the most powerful individual combat forces of Ursus. Wei shoulders the important responsibility of guarding the empire and implementing the imperial order.That being the case, would they be ignorant of what was happening in the East?

It is not necessarily ignorant, it is more possible to turn a blind eye and be indifferent.
