Chapter 2646 Fishing in Troubled Waters
The person coming was none other than Cagalli.
I saw tears in her eyes, her arms folded in her arms, and she was staring at me with a smile but not a smile.
"Ahaha, are you here to visit me?" I said awkwardly, trying to change the subject.
"I wanted to forgive you, but it's a big meal. Hmm." She smiled brightly and said, "It seems that you still have a lot of private money~"
The next second, Cagalli rushed over fiercely like a wolf and a tiger, and roughly searched every pocket of mine.
ten minutes later
I was squatting in the corner with my hands on my knees, my clothes were messy, and I looked miserable like a miserable little kid who had been abused, while Cagalli was looking at the big bag of gold coins in her hand, listening to the crisp sound of the gold coins when they collided, and she was so excited. With a satisfied look, he then returned to the house contentedly, not forgetting to close and lock the crystal door.
I was left sobbing helplessly in the wind.
"Forget it, you can't fight her." Salem came closer to me, patted my shoulder, and comforted me: "Just like my master can't fight that guy, don't forget, that guy is the same as Cagalli. It’s a woman, alas, a woman.”
I turned my head, looked at Xiao Zhi who looked expectant, coughed, and said awkwardly: "Big dinner. Let's wait until next time."
Xiao Zhi glanced at Cagalli who was laughing heartily in the hall, then looked at me with sympathetic eyes, and then nodded helplessly.
When the love reaches the depths, we express our feelings, one person, one insect and one dragon, holding each other's hands and crying.
Fortunately, Cagalli was not crazy enough to let me sleep on the grass at night, otherwise I would have had to climb over the wall, walk through the streets, and spend the night in the palace.
The Elf Queen must be hoping that I can accompany her, but I don’t know if the Elf Queen will laugh at me. After all, being shut out by my wife is not an honorable thing.
After entering the house, I immediately went into the bathroom to take a bath and wash my clothes. After all, I was covered in grass clippings and mud from sitting and leaning outside.
After taking a shower and changing my clothes, I automatically lay down on the sofa and dozed off. As for the private money, I didn't mention a word.
The private money confiscated today is only a small part of my total private money. Even if all my private money is confiscated, I won’t feel bad at all.
It's just that Xiao Zhi may be aggrieved during this period. After all, a batch of private money has just been confiscated, and Cagalli is in a sensitive period. If any unconventional behavior occurs at this time, she will definitely be aware of it.
Don't underestimate a woman's sixth sense, it's so accurate!
The second meeting on supporting Dashai City in response to the disaster was held again three days later.
This meeting was attended by more people than the last time, and almost all the courtiers except those who were on official duties were present.
During the banquet, the Elf Queen came forward and stated the problem, and then all the courtiers discussed it together and agreed on countermeasures.
However, regardless of whether the courtiers have discussed it or not, the final outcome of this issue has already been determined - just yesterday, Elder Mai Sonoda handed me a copy of the document, which recorded the final decision of this meeting.
That is, with Trace, the vice-president of the Rose Legion, as the commander-in-chief, and Abel Fountain, the captain of the seventh combat team under the Rose Legion, as the deputy commander-in-chief, they will lead a thousand elite adventurers selected from various branches. The capital is on standby, ready to be dispatched.
When she first saw the copy of this letter, Cagalli's face looked a little ugly.
After all, Dashai City is her home. When faced with a disaster, she naturally hopes to be able to support her from all directions, and do her best.
But at the same time, she also knew that this was a matter between countries, a matter of diplomacy and government affairs, and it was not something that she, the little princess of Dasai City, who had no real power or say, could have the final say.
You have to rely on me to speak, but I have already stated my attitude before, that is, to abandon Dashai City and take advantage of the chaos to take her parents, brother, and sister over for refuge.
However, this suggestion was ruthlessly rejected by Cagalli.
She believed that the Orc King and the Orc Queen, as well as her brother and two sisters, would not give up on Dashai City even in the face of death. It was simply a fantasy for them to flee here for refuge!
I had a good way to deal with Cagalli's remarks: "Don't worry, the assassin department I left in Dashai City will be with me when the time comes. They are all top-notch assassins. Next I can guarantee that no one will find out about a small trick like a sleeping potion. Once they are safely brought to Moonlight City, we will wake them up one by one. When the rice is cooked, who will beg for nothing? What about asking to return to that dangerous place?”
My suggestions won over Lilea and everyone else, but once Cagalli became so energetic, she wouldn't listen to anyone's suggestions.
Of course, if I really wanted to force Cagalli to submit, I wouldn't be able to do it, but it felt a bit worthless to have a conflict with her just because of this matter.
Instead of everyone being unhappy, it is better to rely on her first. Anyway, the policy from above has been decided. Supporting Dashai City is already a certainty, and it is impossible to change it again.
After sneaking away for a while, I quickly recovered my mind and continued to pretend to listen to the discussions of the courtiers around me.
This group of later courtiers were also divided into several categories, some were fighting, some were self-protecting, and some wanted to take advantage of the situation. After discussing for a long time, a group of people did not come up with a result. Instead, more and more people were at odds with each other.
No wonder the two queens have to divide the meeting into two meetings. One time they really talk about the problem and really solve the problem, and the other time is just a formality to fool everyone. It also gives some face to other courtiers and at the same time leaves room for the two queens. To save face, at least it would not be said to be a dictatorship. All this was done entirely because of the completely different performances of the two waves of courtiers.
Our group of courtiers, headed by Elder Priscilla, who held the meeting earlier, are all Moonlight City's hard-working and powerful people, and they are the talkers in various departments and systems.
We receive salary bonuses not only to support our families, but also to solve the most fundamental problems that hinder the development of Yueguangcheng.
As for the group of people who came to the second meeting, quite a few of them were old fritters. They were here just to act as decorations, goofing around, earning a pocket full of gold coins at fixed times, and supporting their families while also satisfying their needs. Curiosity and vanity, that's all.
As for whether it would hinder the development of Moonlight City, they didn't bother to care.
Apart from these silverfish, there are still many ambitious young people among the courtiers who also uphold the ideal of striving for the strength of Moonlight City. Unfortunately, the voice of these people does not carry much weight, and is only used as a reference at most.
If you really want to submit your thoughts to the ears of the two queens, there are only two ways. One is to say what you want to say in a rude voice, and the other is to say what you want to say. Convey it to the big boss, and then the big boss will convey Tianting for them.
