Chapter 431 The Reason for the Marriage
Relying on the teleportation array, Li Huailin quickly returned to the main city of God's Blessing City, and of course he was received very quickly, but the place where he was received was not the main hall of the imperial palace, but the inner hall.
"Sorry! Huailin!" Anthony did not sit in the seat when he first met Anthony, but bowed to Li Huailin very seriously, and apologized very sincerely.
"Oh? What's going on?" Li Huailin was a little strange, it seemed that Anthony didn't do anything to apologize to himself, but the apology seemed to be very sincere, why?
"I'm really sorry about Count Oribe." Anthony said again.
"Earl Oribe? Who is that?" Li Huailin asked strangely, as if he had never heard of this name.
"It's Count Oribe, the lord of Muryek City," Anthony said.
"Oh, it's Sisi." Li Huailin really didn't know the title of the other party, he just knew that the other party was called Sisi, "What's wrong with her?"
"By the way, you don't know about this yet." Anthony didn't know that Ceci had chatted with Li Huailin in private, and also made an agreement, so he nodded, "Let me talk to you carefully. Tell me, but don't get too excited."
"Huh? Too excited? It's okay, tell me, what's the matter?" Li Huailin said.
"In fact, Earl Oribe came to tell me about you and her a few days ago..." Anthony said.
"Damn it, I have nothing to do with her, absolutely don't believe any of her nonsense." Li Huailin said quickly.
"Don't hide it, I already know about it." Anthony here waved his hand, "The Oribe family's connections are withered, and it would be a very good thing to marry you."
"I really didn't do anything, what did this bastard say." Li Huailin couldn't help but said, "Hey, Anthony, you should think about it anyway, this guy is only twelve years old, no matter what I can't possibly do anything."
"I've said it all, don't be nervous. I agree with this matter very much." Anthony said immediately.
"Hey, listen to me." Li Huailin said, "I've said it all..."
"But I didn't agree...and I also gave the Earl of Oribe to the Duke of Lautner." Anthony continued to take care of himself.
"Hey, hey... well, I won't worry about this for now,
What you said just now seems to be a bit contradictory. Since you agree with the two of us, why did you commit Ceci to Duke Lautner? Is there any reason? "Li Huailin also became serious, because it is impossible for Anthony to do such a boring thing. Combined with the information he has collected, it seems that there is an urgent matter.
"Because. I want to touch Duke Lautner..." Anthony said seriously.
"To move him means to destroy him? Why?" Li Huailin asked. I don't know if Anthony knows that the other party has contacted Rein.
Anthony walked slowly to the window. Looking at the city outside the castle, he said slowly: "The new empire has been established until now, and everything is going very smoothly. The first and second legions have established a firm foothold. The new construction work of the fourth legion is also progressing. It went very smoothly, and the surrounding countries are also very stable, and the work of the Holy See is going smoothly, and now I think it is almost time to clear up the troubles."
"Duke Lautner is that trouble?" Li Huailin said.
"The empire now has three major dukes. These three dukes are grand dukes with huge fiefdoms. Not only that, they also use their own private army to have the same rights as me in the territory. And the most important thing is, apart from you , the two dukes are not my people. They were granted by the previous king, and they both have the blood of the Landsberg family." Anthony said.
"I heard that Duke Lautner is Rein's uncle?" Li Huailin had heard Verdon talk about it.
"Well, he and the other Duke Martelli are both Rein's uncle, brother of Rein's father Sacori." Anthony nodded, "So I didn't expect these two dukes to support me from the beginning. .There is no movement now. It should be because I see that things cannot be violated. Once the empire is in danger, they will probably be the first people to jump out against me."
"Indeed..." Li Huailin nodded in agreement, not to mention the future, Duke Lautner is already plotting a plan for chaos.
"This is a big problem, so I think it's time to get rid of this hidden danger." Anthony said.
"Well, that's true, but what does this have to do with Sisi?" Li Huailin asked.
"This is actually a trick..." Anthony said, "In fact, the day Ceci came to see me, I was going to agree to your marriage..."
"Damn it, who is so wise to change your decision, I must thank him face to face." Li Huailin said immediately.
"This... this is actually..." Anthony hesitated a bit and didn't say.
"I actually proposed this." Suddenly a voice came from the side of the two of them, and they turned their heads at the same time. Empress Marina was coming out of the side door on one side.
"Marlena, you don't need... oh..." Anthony came out when he saw Marlene took him out, and he wanted to say something but finally heaved a sigh.
"Grand Duke of Aquitaine, this is actually a strategy I proposed to His Royal Highness, that is, this is actually what I mean, so don't blame Anthony." Marlene walked in front of Li Huailin and bowed, Said very sorry.
"Wylin, although it was proposed by the queen, I am the one who made the final decision, so blame me if you want." Anthony also said immediately.
"Don't rob, don't rob, I really don't blame you, but I just don't understand why marrying Sisi to Duke Lautner can solve Duke Lautner's problem? You shouldn't spoil yourself if you want to harm his whole family Daughter, and then marry the son of the enemy? Although Sisi said it was a bit annoying, she should not be considered a bear child, and marrying it seems to have no destructive effect." Li Huailin said.
"It's just a reason for Sisi to marry..." said Marlena.
"Reason? What reason?" Li Huailin asked.
"The reason why you and Duke Lautner are tearing apart." Marina said with a flash in her eyes.
"Me? Torn face with Duke Lautner?" Li Huailin thought for a while, "You want me to deal with Duke Lautner? Why don't you just call him there? Why is it so troublesome?"
"The problem is that you can't fight directly." Anthony here sighed and said, "Although I also said that Duke Lautner has hidden dangers, it is only a hidden danger after all. If we can't catch him, if we don't have a handle, we can't do anything to this guy at all..."
"Oh? Why?" Li Huailin asked.
"Shortly after the establishment of the new empire, if we publicly wiped out the old ministers of the previous dynasty, we are afraid that there will be too much movement, especially now that the ministers are basically the old team from the previous Rein period. If we see Duke Lautner being killed by us Sanctioned, maybe it will push them to the opposite of us." Anthony said, "So although I want to touch Duke Lautner now, I can't do it openly."
"That's why I came up with this idea at that time." Marina next to her continued, "Just let the Grand Duke of Aquitaine take action..."
"Understood, if the two dukes are choking each other, it is my personal behavior and has nothing to do with the new empire." Li Huailin understood the meaning of the other party, "and the reason is because his wife was robbed. The reason really cannot be blamed on you."
"Well, that's it." Anthony nodded, "Although I didn't want to do this at first, but considering the current situation, I finally compromised and adopted this method. I am really sorry, Wylin."
"Tell me about this kind of thing earlier, how did you come up with such a low-level method." Li Huailin said, "It scares the little girl so much that she is so scared, it's really..."
"I sent someone to look for you before, but I haven't been able to find you. I'm also in a hurry." Anthony said.
Li Huailin thought for a while that he had not been online for a few days, and he seemed to be unable to say anything: "Forget it... it's already like this now, so let's go ahead with this method, and I'll just kill Duke Lautner." Enough."
"Wylin...but you can't call the Second Army this time..." Anthony said.
"Hey? Then what do I use to fight? Head-to-head?" Li Huailin asked.
"It's impossible for us not to know about the mobilization of the Second Legion. Only when you use your own private soldiers to destroy the opponent, will we 'not know' the news. When we 'react', Lott The Duke of Nana has been eliminated, and then we will pretend to be very angry and punish you, and this matter will be over." Anthony said.
"Understood, this matter is mainly to make it a personal grievance between us, so that everyone thinks it's not what you mean, right?" Li Huailin nodded, "But it's a bit difficult, now my private army has a total of 1200 There are people around, and the opposite side is at least several times as large as mine..."
"It's still a long time before the wedding, and you still have a long time to prepare, can't you hurry up and train?" Marina asked.
"Hmm... that's okay... but everything else is fine, but can you borrow someone from the Second Legion?" Li Huailin said.
"Alone?" Anthony asked.
"Yeah, in the end you said that this person came to help me because of my personal relationship, and it would be fine to punish him along with him when I was punished." Li Huailin said.
"It doesn't matter if you're alone." Anthony nodded.
"Okay, I understand the matter, let's go back and make preparations." Li Huailin said simply, "Don't worry so much, such a small matter can be taken care of casually."
