Chapter 2537 Meeting Carter Horton

I stared at the warden in surprise: "What did you say?"

The warden seemed to realize that his words and deeds were inappropriate. He looked grim, but he still had the courage to repeat: "Sir, John Davis has committed a heinous crime. Do you really want to intercede on his behalf?"

"Begging for mercy? When did I say that I would plead for him?"

The warden was startled when he heard this: "You just weren't"

I chuckled lightly and said, "I understand. When you hear me say that his family is innocent, you assume that I will definitely save his family. Is that right?"

The warden nodded mechanically.

"You think too highly of my kindness," I sneered: "Do innocent people have to be saved? I'm not the savior, how can everyone be saved? John Davis's family is from Airey City Even if I want to, I have to see if the Carter family is willing to let him go. Even if the Carter family is willing to let him go, he still has to go through various diplomatic procedures and identity transfers. This is too troublesome, and I don’t have it. I’m going to waste too much time on this.”

The warden nodded thoughtfully, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Do you mean to use these words to stabilize him first?"

"You think of me too viciously again." I shook my head and said, "It is true that I have no intention of wasting too much time on his family affairs, but since I have made a promise and does nothing, wouldn't I be teasing others? At the same time, you are also lowering your prestige.”

The warden frowned and thought hard for a minute. Suddenly he seemed to have figured it out and said in a low voice: "My lord, what you want is to inform the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Airui City. As for whether to release him or not, it depends on Ai Ruicheng meant it, and you, my lord, have done your best to be benevolent and righteous."

After laughing heartily twice, I patted his shoulder and said, "His understanding is quite high."

After leaving prison, he came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and asked his subordinates to draft a letter and forward it to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Airey City. The main content of the letter was that John Davis had committed espionage, embezzlement of public property, smuggling and other serious crimes. The prisoner's family members need to be transferred to Moonlight City for investigation, and I hope they can cooperate.

After sending the prepared letter, I went to the palace to meet with the two majesties and told them about the letter and the conversation with John Davis.

After listening to the statement, the Elf Queen still looked at me quietly, smiling as always. She pondered for a moment, knocked on the armrest of the sofa, and asked: "Do you think John Davis is available?"

Without thinking, I shook my head: "I don't think it's available."

"reason?"

"First of all, people who are unfilial are likely to commit crimes. Secondly, people who are easy to commit crimes are likely to cause trouble in the world. Although Moonlight City seems to be stable and peaceful now, the civil strife more than ten years ago and the year The aristocratic rebellion before had already shaken the foundation of the country, and if we use people who are good at rebellion, we will destroy the foundation that has been stabilized so easily."

Taking a deep breath, I said slowly: "A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an anthill. No matter how powerful the empire is, it cannot withstand repeated hardships."

The Fairy Queen smiled and said: "What you said makes sense, but knowing people and using them well is the key. Even if it is a double-edged sword, as long as it is used well, it can kill the enemy on both sides and be unfavorable."

After thinking about it for a moment, I asked tentatively: "What does grandma mean?"

The Fairy Queen said enigmatically: "John Davis is neither available nor usable."

I looked confused: "Grandma, what do you mean?"

"Only when you understand it slowly will you grow." The Fairy Queen waved her hand and said, "Go ahead. If you can get John Davis' family here, that would be great. If you can't get it, it doesn't matter. Try your best." That’s it.”

Taking a step back, I bowed and accepted the order: "Here."

After leaving the palace, I went straight home. Seeing that my family had not returned yet, I wrote a letter and left it on the coffee table. Then I took the magic airship with my weapon and headed to Airui City alone.

That night, Phoenix called me and asked me where I was. I told her I was still on the way. Phoenix said a little aggrievedly that she missed me. Just when she was about to comfort her with sweet words, Barbara's voice suddenly came from the crystal. Angrily: "Xiao Yi, you left without saying goodbye!"

I said aggrievedly: "I told you, didn't I write a letter and put it on the table?"

"A letter. It's just a letter. What's the point of telling us!" Barbara said angrily: "Only what you say personally counts!"

I suddenly felt ashamed. It turned out that the letter was nothing to Barbara. After a moment of silence, I apologized in a low voice: "I'm sorry, it was my fault. I will change it next time."

"snort!"

Barbara snorted coldly and handed the crystal to someone else.

Immediately afterwards, Cagalli's voice came from the microphone: "Xiao Yi, this time, Barbara and I have the same view. You have indeed gone too far."

"Feel sorry."

"Don't apologize now. Come back and review it."

After Cagalli finished speaking, she hung up the call.

I had no way to vent my grievances and helplessness, so I had no choice but to drink alone. I couldn't get drunk, but I ran to the toilet more than a dozen times.

Early the next morning, the airship arrived at the capital of Airui City.

After getting off the airship, I went straight to the palace. On the way, I was stopped by some guards who asked me to reveal my identity.

Since I had important things to do, I had no time to quarrel with them, so I pulled the leading group of people into the alley and rewarded each of them with two silver coins.

After accepting the benefits, the captains of these city protection teams stopped embarrassing me and watched me leave with smiles on their faces.

When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I took out four silver coins, two for each person, and asked the gatekeeper to help inform.

The guards at the gates of the Royal Palace in Ai Ruicheng are not fat men. They have to endure wind and rain, and have to endure hardships. They are also scolded and cursed by the dignitaries who come in and out of the palace. Sometimes they even get beaten, and they are suddenly dismissed. Naturally, he was overjoyed at the bribe, and his attitude towards me immediately changed from cautious and serious to full of smiles. One of them gently asked me to wait a moment, while the other quickly walked into the palace to report.

A few minutes later, the man came back with a smile on his face, bowed to me and said, "My lord, please come in."

"Thank you." I politely rewarded each of them with a silver coin, and they happily sent me to the palace.

Seeing the flattery of the two of them, I even suspected that as long as I gave them enough rewards, I could even bring the army into the palace.

When we came to the living room, Carter Horton was sitting on the sofa leisurely sipping black tea. When he saw me coming in, he nodded slightly and said, "It turns out that I am a foreign elder from Moonlight City. Please forgive me for not welcoming me from afar."

"Please don't be rude. Your Majesty, Airui City. I was rude first and came here without telling you. Please forgive me for being rude."

"Hahahahaha" Carter Horton laughed a few times, waved his hand and said loudly: "Sit down, An Xiaoyi, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so interesting."

After bowing respectfully, I sat down across from you, leaned slightly, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, it's the same. I haven't seen you for many days, but you are still as confident as ever."
