The king and his minister sat silently in the hall. Grand Duke Alan seemed to have been ten years old. It turned out that his white and fat cheeks had sunk in a few days. His eyes, which were still energetic, were covered with bloodshot, and his eyes seemed a little dull. The corners of his mouth might twitch. It was obvious that the bad news in the past few days was about to destroy the old man.

The military minister, Duke Lan Meng, who was sitting at the lower edge, was also full of sorrow. The successive blows made him dizzy. The defeat of the coalition forces in the western region, the besieged Fanlin City in the north was like an iron barrel. The only mobile force in the capital, Molington City, had not yet reached the stage, and everything was over. However, it was also considered to have preserved a living force. God knows whether joining the battle can play a role in turning the world. If it is useless, then the capital can only give in.

"Love Lan Meng, is there no way to do this Fanlin City?" Time passed slowly in silence, and in the end, Grand Duke Alan couldn't stand the suffocating dullness and spoke.

"Your Majesty, what else can we do? Now that Fanlin City is surrounded, we can see that the Kamans will be in a big way. With our existing strength, it is already very difficult to hold Molington. How can we care about Fanlin City?" Duke Lan Meng was also full of bitterness. At the moment, no one can come back to the situation. The Kamans have already gained an absolute advantage. If they want to save the crisis, they can only hope that a miracle will happen.

"But if Fanlin City is lost, how long can we last here? The three-sided Kaman people and the Taiping Sect's territory to the south, we can only sit and wait for death." Although Grand Duke Alan is not a wise king, he can still see these simple battlefield situations clearly.

"Well, now we are in trouble internally and externally. To be honest, Your Majesty, the old minister also feels powerless." Duke Lan Meng said in pain, "Now the Tanghe Empire has been messed up by the Taiping Cult, and there is no power to help us at all. What's more, we are now separated from the Tanghe Empire Central Committee by the Taiping Cult. Even if they have the power, they have no way to do it."

The hall fell silent again, and only the heavy breathing of the two of them was heard, "In your opinion, we have no choice?" Grand Duke Alan's voice seemed particularly depressed.

"Uh, this ```````" The military minister was also sweating, and he only had his own salary. He was under one person in the Duke and above ten thousand people. At this time, his grandfather asked him speechlessly.

"Oh, is the foundation of our ancestors really going to be destroyed in my hands?" Grand Duke Alan's words were like a whip that whipped the heart of the Minister of Military Affairs.

"My dear, can you find a way to let Taiping teach us how to help us? If they are willing to help us overcome difficulties, no matter what conditions, money, and land are allowed to choose!" Grand Duke Alan was already in a hurry to seek medical treatment.

"Your Majesty, this is impossible. Not to mention whether they have this ability or not, it can be clearly seen based on the current situation that the Taiping Cult must have been mixed with the Kaman people and the Poole people in the north. They are all birds of a feather." Duke Lanmeng smiled bitterly and shook his head to answer. While a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

"However," Duke Lan Meng quickly considered the feasibility of the plan while also considering whether the grand duke in front of him would accept his suggestion.

"But what, my dear, I have any ideas. The current situation has become like this. Is there anything else that cannot be accepted?" Grand Duke Ellen saw something and immediately spoke out to dispel the other party's concerns.

"Well, your majesty, the old minister is thinking that although the Taiping Army cannot rely on, Li Wufeng in the southwest still has a glimmer of hope, but there are many difficulties in the meantime." Duke Lan Meng said hesitantly.

When Duke Lan Meng heard that, the grand duke sitting on the top seemed to have taken a dose of heart-boosting medicine, and immediately became energetic. The drowning man grabbed a life-saving straw at the moment before he sank and asked quickly: "Your dear, come and listen."

"Li Wufeng's territory is not bordered by us, but now he has driven people to enter Lulong by expelling Taiping scholars. In fact, he has controlled Lulong's mansion in Beiyuan County of the Tanghe Empire, and has posed a certain threat to the Kaman people. Now Fielding has completely surrendered to him. His position in the northwest has become as stable as Mount Tai, and his strength has expanded sharply. Perhaps even the Kaman people are a little concerned about him. The old minister is also wondering whether it is Li Wufeng's rapid growth in strength that makes the Kaman people feel threatened, so they are eager to solve the problem here?" Duke Lan Meng analyzed while thinking.

"Now the eastern part of Lulong Mansion controlled by Li Wufeng is still under the control of Taiping Cult, which also blocks Li Wufeng's army from entering our Jeroke. The problem is now here. If we convince Li Wufeng to be willing to reinforce us, we must also go through the Taiping Cult control area, and this problem must be solved."

"In addition, the question of how to persuade Li Wufeng to send troops is also very specific. Although Li Wufeng is not weak, I heard that they suffered a loss from the Luzon people in Northern Luzon some time ago, and I don't know what the actual situation is. So it is quite difficult for the old minister to convince Li Wufeng." Duke Lan Meng slowly finished speaking.

Grand Duke Allen obviously also heard the implicit sound. I am afraid that the first reason is not the main thing. The second is how to persuade Li Wufeng to send troops is the real key. After all, the situation is unpredictable at this time, and preserving strength is the most stable measure anyone will take. Of course, it is impossible to easily use his own army, especially Li Wufeng is not peaceful.

"Then what conditions do you think they need to meet, that is, what price we have to pay before they can send troops?" Grand Duke Allen's face gradually calmed down.

"This minister cannot determine that the situation is dangerous now and is extremely unfavorable to us. It can be said that if there is no foreign aid, we can only surrender. It is only a matter of time before we can. The only hope at present is Li Wufeng. They will definitely not be willing to send troops at this time, so it is not easy to impress the other party." The Military Minister began to circle around.

Grand Duke Alan, who was sitting in the head, shook his whole body and said in a low voice: "My dear, tell me what you think. It's time to do it, what else can't you say?"

"This, ``````````" Seeing that his grandfather was already a little impatient, Lan Meng gritted his teeth and said, "I think that if I want to impress Li Wufeng, I am afraid that ordinary conditions will not be able to catch his eye. Like money and land may be useful in normal times, but at this time, I am wondering if Li Wufeng is still young and unmarried, can His Majesty let Princess Anne get engaged to him and let Princess Anne go to the northwest first, first to clarify the relationship and let Li Wufeng give up his troops, and secondly, if the big thing is not good, it can also leave a trace of blood for the King of Gerok."

"What?" Grand Duke Allen stood up with a shout, his eyes firmly staring at the other person's face. Lan Meng seemed very calm and even had a hint of relaxation. Anyway, the words had been said, and it was his business whether the Grand Duke accepted it or not.

After a while, Grand Duke Alan sat back in frustration, stroked his forehead with his hand, and said in pain: "Is there no other way?"

"Your Majesty, think about it, can other conditions make Li Wufeng fall in love with you? Princess Anne is not only famous, but also beautiful, but also has a charming appearance. The most important thing is that she is the only heir to the throne of Duke of Deluck. Li Wufeng will definitely be moved by it. Perhaps this is the only condition that can impress the other party." Duke Lan Meng said with a serious expression.

"Ai'know that Li Wufeng has been engaged to the Seventeenth Princess of Tanghe people? And if Princess Anne marrys him, I, Diloke, will fall into the hands of outsiders even after a hundred years?" Although Grand Duke Allen had accepted this suggestion in his heart, he was still a little unwilling.

"The people of Tanghe people are customary. I think that people with the status of Li Wufeng can marry eight real wives, let alone just engagement. Who can predict what will happen in the future? In the least, if you don't help protecting the princess, you can make an agreement with Li Wufeng first. Princess Anne's first child inherited the Grand Duchy of the Trilogy, and the northwest side must not have any objections or interference." Grand Duke Lan Meng explained with a wry smile, all of whom were furious, and she was still thinking about what would happen decades later. Grand Duke is too "foresighted".

After being silent for a long time, Grand Duke Alan raised his head and said, "My dear, do you know that the son has admired the daughter for a long time, and the daughter has a good impression of the son. Your suggestion may ruin the fate of the two?"

Duke Lanmeng smiled tragically, "Your Majesty, don't you know? But in this situation, once the Kamans defeated us, we will have a complete egg? Everything will no longer exist, how can we talk about these love affairs of the romantic and romantic children?" His face became extremely pale. Having said that, if his son knew the whole story of this matter, Dunduo would not have forgiven him so easily.

This is also because of the helplessness of being born in a family like yourself. No one can reverse the cruel reality. If you want to survive, you must make sacrifices and pay the price. This price may be all kinds, such as money, land, women, feelings, and everything.

The dull and depressing atmosphere made both Grand Duke Allen and Duke Lanmon unbearable, especially this suffocating depression made people even more annoying. "My dear, then hurry up and go and do it. I will go there personally on Annie's side, alas, `````````"
