Chapter 1147 Deportation
After entering the palace, I came to the side hall, which is a place specially used for internal meetings. I opened the door and saw the Queen at a glance. Looking inside, I saw Priscilla and several other elders.
I found a seat and as soon as I sat down, the Elf Queen handed me a document: "Look at this."
The document was written in the common language of the Zephyr Continent. I knew every word in it. After reading the entire document, I roughly understood its meaning.
This is a request letter on the surface, but there is a hint of threat between the lines. The main idea of the letter is that we hope that we can return Bai Yunying to York Hancheng.
At the end of the letter, it was signed by the Lord of York and Seoul, and it also came with a clear seal pattern.
"Real or false?" I asked the Elf Queen.
The Queen nodded: "It has been verified. The signature and seal pattern are both authentic."
I said "Oh" and said, "In other words, the Lord of York Han City knows that Bai Yunying is here?"
"Yes" said the Queen.
I frowned and asked, "How did he know?"
The Queen shook her head: "I don't know, and the intelligence agency has not found any insiders lurking in the city."
"Hey" I sighed: "Then what are you going to do?"
Before the Queen could answer, Elder Sonoda Wu interrupted: "Elder An Xiaoyi, you must use your honorific title when speaking. How many times have I reminded you!"
"Yes, yes, I understand, Elder Mai Sonoda," I said perfunctorily.
"I can't make a decision on this matter," the Queen said, "So, I called you all over and wanted to hear your thoughts."
Elder Priscilla was the first to speak: "Regarding this matter, I think Bai Yunying can be sent back."
Elder Priscilla explained: "Although our Moonlight City has never had any diplomatic relations or relations with York and Han City, after all, York and Han City is also one of the big countries with a vast territory, and it also has one of the five major guilds as its resident guild. Naturally, our strength cannot be underestimated. Now, with such an opportunity, returning Bai Yunying as promised may win his favor. At the same time, we can also take the opportunity to put forward the conditions for friendship and ask the two countries to form an alliance on the grounds of human nature. In this way Once we come, we will have an extra ally.”
"I don't agree with Elder Priscilla's opinion!" Elder Mai Sonoda stood up and said: "First of all, there are threats between the lines in this letter, as if we were at fault in the first place, but from beginning to end, we were not involved. Therefore, I think this is an insult to our Moonlight City and an unforgivable mistake!"
Taking a breath, Elder Sonoda Mai continued: "Furthermore, Bai Yunying is neither a wanted criminal nor a fugitive. She came to our Moonlight City just to find old friends, and at the same time, she lives here as a normal resident. There is no reason or reason to do so. There is nothing wrong with her, and she has never committed anything against the law in our country. We cannot send her away with just a letter. Doing so will most likely endanger the prestige of our Moonlight City. With dignity!”
Elder Mai Sonoda had a serious face, loud voice, and excited words, as if every word was spoken with all his strength.
Then, Elder Si Boling, Elder Meila, and Elder Lindsay expressed their opinions respectively. Surprisingly, the opinions of the three elders were very unified. They all believed that they could be sent back, or they could not be sent back. If they were sent back, , there may be one more useless ally, and if they are not sent back, there may not be one more useless enemy.
As for Elder Jennifer, she did not speak from the beginning to the end. She sat quietly on the chair as usual, as if dozing off.
When it was time for me to speak, I curled my lips and said, "It seems I don't need to explain. Everyone already knows my choice."
"What is your choice, Elder An Xiaoyi?" Elder Priscilla smiled and said: "Please make your choice clear, but please don't forget that any word or word you say will You have to take responsibility, so please think carefully."
It sounded like she was telling me to be cautious, but everyone could understand what it meant. She was warning me that it was best not to say too much.
I really wanted to laugh and say to her: "Fuck you grandma! I am a foreign elder or you are a foreign elder. Why should I be restricted by your words?"
With this in mind, he naturally spoke in a polite manner: "I am firmly opposed to returning Bai Yunying to York and Hancheng. There is only one reason. She is my fiancée."
"Elder An Xiaoyi, please put aside your personal feelings first." Elder Priscilla said: "We all know that Bai Yunying is your fiancée. What we have to deal with now is not personal grudges, but the relationship between the two countries. .”
"Are you talking about the relationship between the two countries?" I said calmly: "Why is the Lord of Han City in York so eager for us to send Bai Yunying back, and even uses a threatening tone? Have you ever thought about this reason?"
Elder Priscilla pondered for a while and said, "I never thought about it."
I turned to everyone present and said, "Have any of you here thought about it?"
All the elders shook their heads, and the Elf Queen said: "Elder An Xiaoyi, please explain your thoughts."
"Okay" I said: "Actually, the reason is very simple. Bai Yunying must have an absolutely unshakable status in York and Hancheng. At the same time, her identity and strength can also show that she must be a star-like figure in York and Hancheng. In this way The sudden departure of a character will not only affect the overall strength of York Han City, but also affect the people of the country, so the Lord of York Han City is so urgent and asks us to repatriate Bai Yunying."
"In this case, we should send Bai Yunying back even more," Elder Priscilla said: "As long as Bai Yunying is sent back, Moonlight City will benefit a lot from it!"
"Are you sure that Moonlight City will definitely benefit?" I frowned and said, "First of all, Bai Yunying is my fiancée. If Bai Yunying is sent away, I will definitely drag my family and everyone away. My property here, uh, In fact, there is only one cafe, but the cafe will also close when I leave. The closed cafe will naturally no longer pay taxes to the country, so you will receive less tax, oh, By the way, don't expect to get the same profits by relying on other people to continue operating. The coffee in the cafe is secretly made by ancestors. If you change anyone else, the taste will change. Okay, let's not mention the cafe. Let’s talk about other things, such as the attitude and opinions of other people in Zephyr Continent towards Moonlight City from now on. Bai Yunying is the former president of the Silver Wings Guild. She has not broken any rules or laws, but she was sent back just because of a word. What will everyone think? You would think that Moonlight City is actually nothing more than that. It surrenders as soon as it is threatened and cannot even protect the residents living there. If this continues, over time, even the local residents will lose their sense of security."
