Chapter 1939 A Kiss From Another Generation
Can a five-sentence battle fool these political bigwigs in the past?
Obviously, no!
What to do?
Do you want me to write a fierce and cruel battle scene of more than 10,000 words?
Those princes and ministers who are not adventurers may believe it. After all, they are laymen. As long as the process is described in a wonderful way, whether it is true or false, they will listen with interest.
But what about those princes and ministers who have considerable strength?
Especially the six elders and the two queens, they didn't rub sand in their eyes, and they could detect flaws the size of rice grains.
They may not point out my lies to my face, but it would be embarrassing and humiliating to point them out behind my back. The most frightening thing is that if the lie is accidentally spread, someone might Put the label of 'liar' on my head and 'a reputation seeker' on my head.
Although I don't care much about reputation, I will definitely not be happy if I am publicly smeared because of such a trivial matter.
So, I decided to tell the truth.
Just when I was about to speak, Elder Priscilla suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, slaying the dragon is a major event on the same level as quelling the disaster. Elder An Xiaoyi's feat is the glory of our Moonlight City. , and it is a blessing to my people in Moonlight City!"
"I believe that the narration of the process of slaying the dragon will not only reflect the great strength of Elder An Xiaoyi, but also strengthen the confidence and cohesion of our people in Moonlight City!"
"I suggest that Elder An Xiaoyi be given some time to prepare a detailed record of the battle and set up a high platform in the center of the town, so that he can personally tell every citizen of Moonlight City about this honor. !”
"Your Majesty, I agree with the great elder's suggestion," an old man who looked quite old took a step forward and said.
"I second the proposal!"
"I second the proposal!"
For a time, in the hall, there were endless voices of support, like mosquitoes chirping in unison, which made people anxious and confused. I really wanted to slap them all and crush them all to death.
At this moment, Elder Mai Sonoda suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "You are so noisy during the court meeting, are you treating His Majesty as air?"
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the hall.
Elder Mai Sonoda glanced at everyone, and finally stopped on my face. She sneered and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking out."
The Fairy Queen nodded slightly: "Yes!"
"Everyone here is a noble noble with a surname. Even if you have never been an adventurer or read a few books, at least you have been exposed to it during tea parties and banquets, so you should have some understanding of dragons and other things."
"How can a giant dragon be so powerful that it can be defeated by just one person?" Elder Mai Sonoda couldn't help but sneer: "Don't be ridiculous, just take the most recent case of slaying a giant dragon. It was 1,400 years ago. A crusade team composed of seven national forces conducted a crusade against him, and as a result of the crusade, one person was killed and three were seriously injured."
"Do you understand?" Elder Mai Sonoda looked around and glanced at everyone's face again. Many ministers who echoed the words not only blushed with embarrassment, but also lowered their heads.
"Elder Sonoda Wu" Elder Priscilla looked sharply and said coldly: "Are you mocking His Majesty's ignorance by saying this?"
"Elder Priscilla, are you making trouble?" Elder Mai Sonoda said calmly.
"Am I provoking?" Elder Priscilla sneered: "It was Your Majesty who asked Elder An Xiaoyi to tell the story of the dragon slaying process!"
"Your Majesty is right." Elder Mai Sonoda smiled slightly: "But Your Majesty did not say that questioning is not allowed."
"Are you questioning His Majesty?" Elder Priscilla's pupils shrank suddenly, her gaze like needles and arrows.
"I am questioning Elder An Xiaoyi's slaying of the dragon." Faced with the piercing gaze, Elder Sonoda Wu stepped forward without showing any signs of weakness: "As His Majesty said before, this matter is originally a folk rumor. We all know that folk rumors Half-truths and exaggerations are common.”
The elder Priscilla was about to braid her hair again, when she heard a crisp sound in her ears - it was the sound of the moonlight scepter hitting the ground. The elder was startled, and immediately shut up and stood back to his original position.
Sitting high, the Fairy Queen was neither angry nor happy, and said in a calm tone: "What the two elders said is reasonable. Elder Priscilla wants to enhance the prestige of our country and unite the people's hearts. Her sincerity can be seen. Elder Mai Sonoda will not be This spirit of striving for the truth despite being disturbed by external things is commendable."
The two elders bowed and thanked them.
The Fairy Queen continued: "Although it is very important to unite the hearts of the people and boost the prestige of our country, I want to know more about whether Elder An Xiaoyi's dragon slaying is true. If it is false, then control the rumors, publicize the truth, and let the people know the facts. If Really, what do you think, sir, if you build a high platform again and promote this honor?"
"I obey your Majesty's wishes!"
After that, the Queen looked at me again: "Xiaoyi, tell me, did you really slay the dragon?"
I thought for a moment and said slowly: "Yes"
In an instant, there were exclamations in the hall, some surprised, some scoffed, some curious, some disdainful. Elder Sonoda Wu frowned, and Elder Priscilla raised a smile on her lips.
".Nor."
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar again. Elder Mai Sonoda's frown slowly relaxed, but his brows were filled with confusion.
Looking at Elder Priscilla again, her expression changed for a moment, but it only lasted for a few seconds before returning to normal color again.
"Elder An Xiaoyi" Elder Meila took a step forward with an unkind look on his face and said: "This is a court meeting, a sacred place to answer your Majesty's questions. With your 'yes and no' attitude, are you suspected of teasing His Majesty?" ?”
"How dare I tease Grandma Queen?" I chuckled and said, "First of all, she is the monarch and I am the minister. It is the duty of the minister to tell the truth to the emperor. Secondly, she is the elder and I am the junior. The junior speaks to the elder. The fact is, this is respect. Finally, I am her grandson-in-law, which is the closest relationship. Since the relationship is so close, why should I lie?"
Elder Meira's expression changed. After a while, she forced out a smile and said, "In that case, please ask Elder An Xiaoyi to clear up the confusion."
"It's natural." I smiled and said, "After all, Elder Meira has never experienced dragon slaying, so he is completely blank about such things. But I am quite curious. Since it is blank, why does Elder Meira question me? Could it be that he is completely blank? Just because I said something contradictory, do you deserve to question me like this? You even went so far as to threaten me by bringing out Grandma Queen and Her Majesty the Elf Queen?"
Elder Meira's face turned pale, and she suppressed her anger: "I'm just worried that you are young, lest you say something inappropriate and offend His Majesty."
I chuckled and said, "Then you have to worry too much. It's not common for an ignorant grandson to bump into grandma. I believe Grandma the Queen has never held a grudge against me."
After saying that, I turned to the Fairy Queen and chuckled, "We're kissing each other in another generation."
