Chapter 929 Special Envoy
When the special envoy from the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle came to White Rock City, it was already late autumn. For this special envoy, visiting White Rock City was not particularly difficult. In fact, the reason why he came to White Rock City this time was because
In order to escort the grain, on the other hand, on behalf of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle, a request was made to White Rock City that 50% of all grain this year must be handed over.
This is not because the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle is greedy, but because just a few days ago, the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle encountered an insect plague, and all the food that was about to be harvested was gnawed away by the insects. Although the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle still has food in reserve
, but if the share of food turned over is not increased, then the Golden Eagle Country will also be hungry.
As for where those bugs came from...it's self-explanatory.
To be honest, when arriving along the way, the special envoy was a little worried about what would happen if Baishi City could not provide food. After all, the insect plague was said to be very involved, and several countries that had surrendered to the Golden Eagle Kingdom were affected.
Several countries did not even wait for the Golden Eagle Kingdom to collect grain. Instead, they sent people eagerly to pray to the Golden Eagle Kingdom to put some grain for them. If Baishi City is like this, then he is tantamount to Baishi City.
Had a trip.
Fortunately, the scenes along the way reassured the special envoy. Looking around, the fields were full of crops being harvested, and the golden ears of wheat were piled up like mountains. They looked so dazzling under the sunlight, which is why
The special envoy couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that the situation in Baishi City was not bad. Of course, he also sent people to inquire and heard that Baishi City was also affected by the disaster, but a great mage suddenly appeared to help them.
It drove away those damn bugs and allowed the crops in the field that had been eaten by bugs to grow again.
Regarding this rumor, the special envoy just scoffed. Such a thing is simply a joke. Let’s not talk about whether it can drive away the insects. It is simply impossible to say that it can make the eaten crops grow again! These farmers also
I don’t know why he is crazy, but he can even say such nonsense. But these have nothing to do with him. The only thing the special envoy has to do now is to go to White Rock City and discuss with King Lalit about the food handover.
problem.
Soon, the special envoy and his party arrived outside White Rock City, but what happened next made the special envoy from the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle a little surprised. Originally, in his opinion, after learning of his arrival, even if King Lalit did not
If he came to greet him personally, he should also send a team of people to greet him. But what he didn't expect was that after he revealed his identity, the guard just announced his identity and then stopped responding. And the city gate was also closed tightly.
There is no intention of opening it at all. Only the small door next to it is open. This is completely inconsistent with diplomatic etiquette. Logically speaking, if another country sends an envoy, there should be minimum diplomatic etiquette!
At the beginning, the envoys from the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle were able to wait patiently, but they waited and waited, from morning to noon, and then from noon to afternoon, until the sun set, and there was still no sign from King Lalit.
Reaction. This made the envoys of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle very angry. He was sure that this was definitely an attempt by the other party to mess with him. Not only that, but the way the civilians coming in and out looked at them also made the envoys of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle go crazy.
Well, as the special envoy of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle, he has not been praised and worshiped by others in any country, and now he is just thrown aside without even looking at it, not to mention that the other party is still their loser!!
A mere defeated general dares to torment me like this?
Thinking of this, the special envoy also secretly made up his mind to negotiate this time and must increase the share of grain that Baishi City must hand over to 80% - no, 100%!!
When the sun was about to set, finally, a group of knights slowly came to the door, and then the leading knight saluted the special envoy.
"Hello, Mr. Special Envoy, welcome to Baishi City."
"Is this how you receive an envoy?"
After being left out for a day, the special envoy was filled with anger. If he hadn't considered that he didn't bring many people with him this time, and that he couldn't attack Baishi City right here, he might have ordered the war.
White Rock City is fighting to the death. How can these country bumpkins tarnish the glory of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle?!
"I'm sorry, Mr. Envoy."
Facing the special envoy's questioning, the expression of the leading knight did not change at all, it was just a routine matter.
"Because His Majesty is busy with affairs, we did not have time to report this matter, so we have kept you waiting for a long time. Now, please come with us..."
As he spoke, the knight raised his head and glanced at the soldiers behind the envoy.
"Also, for safety reasons, please ask your soldiers to wait outside the city."
"you!!"
Hearing this, the envoy turned pale with anger. This blatant ridicule made him almost unbearable. He couldn't even bring his own soldiers into the city. How dare these people do this? Are they crazy? This
A group of people, they are provoking the supreme dignity of the Golden Eagle Country!!
For a moment, the special envoy even wanted to just turn around and leave, go back and report everything he encountered to His Majesty the Emperor, and ask him to send a large army to kill all these bastards who do not know the heights of heaven and earth. However, as a diplomat, he
I also knew very well that I came here not to quarrel with Baishi City, but to collect food. Now that I think about it, I am afraid that Baishi City was unwilling to hand over the food, so he deliberately caused such an embarrassment to himself. But no matter what, the food that was handed over was
The food has been written on paper, and the two sides have signed a treaty in this regard. No matter how dissatisfied Baishi City is, they must abide by the treaty. Otherwise, what will greet Baishi City will be the thunder, wrath and war of the Golden Eagle Kingdom
!
Thinking of this, the special envoy forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, then turned around and motioned to his guards to rest outside, then arranged his clothes, and then walked into White Rock City with a cold face.
escorted to the palace.
In the palace, the special envoy finally met King Lalit.
It's just that His Majesty the King doesn't look very busy at all. On the contrary, at this moment, he is eating meat and drinking wine, and there are singing girls beside him to entertain him. It seems that he is enjoying himself. Looking at this scene,
The envoy's suppressed anger emerged again, but he still forced himself to step forward and bowed to the other party in a polite manner.
"Hello, His Majesty King Lalit."
"Oh, hello."
Upon hearing the special envoy's greetings, King Lalit glanced at him with drunken eyes, and then nodded.
"So, what's your business here?"
"What's up?"
The envoy was stunned when he heard King Lalit's words, but he quickly answered.
"His Majesty King Lalit, according to the treaty signed between our two countries, White Rock City should pay us 30% of the grain you harvest this year, and I, on behalf of the supreme emperor of the Kingdom of the Golden Eagle, came to collect the grain!"
At the end of his speech, the special envoy couldn't help but raise his voice, showing his anger.
"Your Majesty the King, I believe you are ready?"
"food?"
Upon hearing the special envoy's inquiry, King Lalit narrowed his eyes, tilted his head and recalled carefully for a moment. Then he raised his head, looked at the special envoy and smiled.
"No."
