Chapter 481:

Radiant city.
Compared with before, the atmosphere of the City of Radiance has obviously eased a lot.
Although the siege of the Turin Kingdom has not been lifted, the continuous victory has greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Shops are operating normally, and city residents dare to go out to shop during the day. Although prices fluctuate slightly due to warfare, such fluctuations are still within the scope of the strong interference of the city's main government.
The optimism began to spread, and even gambling houses have begun to set up publicly, betting when the Kingdom of Turin will retreat.
Affected by these optimism, the city's owner, Edric, has also been better recently.
Although with the arrival of a big man, the city owner almost lost his right to speak about the city, but he also knew that this was only a temporary imagination.
It is impossible for the prince Jiawen, the marshal of the military, or the masters of the king to stay in the City of Radiance for a long time.
As long as the Turin Kingdom is successfully repelled, the power of the City of Radiance can not only be regained, but he can also be related to the big brothers. It may not be long before the title of the family will be raised in his generation Then one or two levels.
I'm in a good mood, and my efficiency in handling government affairs has improved a lot.
With a large swipe, after sending someone to copy a few treacherous merchants who pushed up prices, Edric planned to take a short break, but just then, the housekeeper appeared.
As soon as the housekeeper spoke, he brought news that surprised Edric.
"Homeowner, the chairman of the Maude Chamber of Commerce is asking for you."
"No, I'm going to rest." Edridge replied subconsciously, because he didn't have time to bother the sly businessman.
But as soon as this was said, he realized that something was wrong.
"Wait, who do you say? Maude Chamber of Commerce?"
"Yes, homeowner."
Edric rose from his chair at once.
"Don't he dare to come see me?" Edric stared, as if he didn't believe his ears.
At that time, the city of Tianhui was attacked, and the soldiers in the city were injured.
The front line is tight, and the City of Radiance has not experienced war for too long, and the reserves of war materials are insufficient. Even the gauze used for bandaging cannot be gathered.
In this case, Edrich spent a large amount of money to buy fabrics from major chambers of commerce to act as gauze emergency. Among them, Maude Chamber of Commerce.
However, unlike other chambers of commerce, the Maude Chamber of Commerce not only took the opportunity to earn a large amount of gold coins from the city's main government, but also poisoned the fabric.
If it was not for a timely response and proper treatment, then the leading general Luke would have been poisoned alive!
To be clear, based on the original situation of the City of Radiance, once Luke fell, the City of Radiance could not find a second person on top of it, and breaking the city would be a matter of time.
Edric sent people to search the Maude Chamber of Commerce afterwards, but unfortunately, these people had long expected his movements and hid in advance.
This possession is more than a year. Although the city's main government has been searching for the whereabouts of the Maude Chamber of Commerce and has occasionally caught some small crickets, the whereabouts of the Chamber of Commerce have been a mystery, let alone the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.
In this case, the chairman of the Maude Chamber of Commerce actually came to visit. Is it possible if there is no fuss?
"Where is the person?"
"It has been detained and the family is ready for trial."
"Bring," Edridge said without hesitation.
Ten minutes later, the chairman of the Maude Chamber of Commerce appeared in front of Edric.
A skinny old man in a black tuxedo looks very smart.
"Dear Lord of the City, Chairman of the Maude Chamber of Commerce, Larry Maud says hello to you."
"You don't worry about your situation at all." Edridge showed a weird expression on his face.
It is obvious that the other party is now a prisoner, but on the surface, there is no panic, but it looks like a regular visit.
Although time can dilute everything, Eric does not think that Larry will really forget what his Mord Chamber of Commerce has done unless he has Alzheimer's.
But apparently, Larry Maud's body was healthy.
He had not forgotten what he did. The reason he was so calm was because he had relied on it.
"Dear Lord of the City, in addition to saying hello to you today, I also brought the news of our country's founder."
"Lord?" Edric again looked surprised.
"Yes, my lord, the great king of the Turin kingdom."
"Although it has long been known that your chamber of commerce is related to the Kingdom of Turin, but I did not expect that you are actually a member of the Kingdom of Turin!"
Edric is not lying.
He once thought that the reason why the Maude Chamber of Commerce made such a move was to gain the benefit of the Kingdom of Turin.
It is not uncommon for businessmen to pursue interests and betray their own country for the benefit, but honestly, Edric had never doubted the ownership of the Mord Chamber of Commerce because no relevant clues were found in the post-investigation.
"You're hiding deep enough," Edric sighed.
He did not suspect that the other party was lying. After all, the other party did not need to lie on this issue.
So after sighing, Edric sat up a bit for his body and asked in a very serious tone: "Say, your king, what news did you bring."
"Your Majesty hopes that you and we can stop the war and live in peace together."
Edric laughed, but his smile was full of ridicule.
"You want peace? So why not pull out the army?"
The army outside the city was under pressure, but the people in front of them were crying out for peace, Edric felt that his IQ was insulted by the other party.
"The Lord of the City is outraged. This time, I brought a letter from His Majesty. As long as the Lord of the City sees it, he can only understand our intention."
As soon as Larry wanted to reach into his arms, the soldiers around stepped forward to drink loudly.
In order to prevent misunderstanding, Larry immediately stopped his movements, raised his hands high, and said, "The letter is in my arms. If the Lord of the City is uneasy, he can let the guards take it by himself."
If it was another nobleman, maybe he was so agitated by Larry Maud, he would drink away to show his bravery.
But Edric is not the same. The two years of fighting have long made him a cautious character.
In front of him, Larry Maud had done even poisoning, no matter how careful he was.
Therefore, it is impossible for Edric to let the other party continue to do anything, otherwise, who can guarantee that the next party will not take out a powerful magic scroll from his arms, and then blow the entire city main mansion to heaven!
With his eyes motioned, the guards took the initiative to get the letter.
It was confirmed that there was no mechanism on the letter, and the guard handed it to Edric.
Edric didn't open the envelope immediately. He checked it carefully and confirmed that there was no problem with the seal on the letter before tearing the seal.
A few minutes later, as he browsed through the letter, his eyebrows frowned.
"Go and invite Prince Carvin, Marshal Edmond."
The current residence of the two was in the house near the city's main residence. The distance was not far away. After receiving the obituary from the guard, it didn't take long before they came to Edric's study.
"His Royal Highness, Marshal."
Edric got up early and waited, belonging to his position, also let out.
After everyone was seated again, Edric took out the letter and put it in front of the two.
"You are the messenger of the Kingdom of Turin?"
Although he was a businessman or a spy who had been ambushing in the City of Radiance, since he was holding a letter from the King of Turin Kingdom, he was a messenger of a country.
Especially when the matter written in the letter is too important, whether it is Gavin or Edmond, the savvy old man in front of him will not be ignored.
"Does your lord really plan to make peace with the empire?"
"His Royal Highness, our country's lord has always been controlled by the patriarch. Now, under the support of many loyal forces to the royal family, he regains control of the capital. My royal family has always admired the empire and wants to continue the friendly relationship between the prince and the empire. Your Highness, please, "said Larry respectfully.
Jia Wen didn't comment on Larry's speech.
He is no longer a prince who was raised in the deep courtyard of the imperial palace. In the past few months, besides having experienced many wars, he also understood what is called human heart.
Perhaps the king of the Turin kingdom really intended to reconcile with the empire, but the so-called admiration was simply a joke.
There is never friendship between nations, and there are only interests.
If what is written in the letter is true, the most important thing for the Turin Kingdom now is to remove the division and its party feathers, and there is no time to attack the Greek Empire empire. In this case, of course, the Kingdom of Turin hopes to cooperate with The empire reached reconciliation.
However, this is what the Greek Empire wants to see. After all, the siege of many countries has caused heavy losses to the Empire. If the war can be temporarily stopped, the Empire will naturally want it.
"Although the letter was received, it takes time to confirm the content of the letter. Also, although I am the prince of the Empire, I have no right to stop the war. So, after the message is confirmed, I will send someone to keep you and this. The letter was sent back to the imperial capital, your Majesty, please decide. "
Larry wasn't disappointed by Garvin's words, after all this was expected.
And his original purpose was not to want Jiawen to surpass his power, to reach an agreement with the Kingdom of Turin in private, but Larry's arrival was only to give a formal stand to the official mission, and at the same time, to release the empire to the City of Radiant Just goodwill.
"His Royal Highness, this time I am here, but on behalf of the King, showing goodwill, and afterwards, the peace entrusted by my Majesty is responsible for our envoys. Our envoys have already set off from the seaport. It is estimated that it will not take long for them to log in to your country. I hope that your country will provide convenience. "
"This is natural." Jiawen agreed without hesitation, promising to relay the news to the empire as soon as possible, and the emperor would arrange for the person to receive the mission.
At this point, Larry Maud's mission is more than half completed.
After waiting, Jia Wen dropped the letter in his hand and asked Edmund: "Marshal, do you think this is true or false?"
"80% is true." Edmond thought for a moment and gave an optimistic answer: "Actually, the Empire had already noticed something about the Turin Kingdom, and it was also given after the last Gudela's return. With the relevant information, the contradiction between the royal family of the Turin Kingdom and that national teacher is real. "
"So the point is, is the trapped royal family really out of control?" Eric asked carefully.
"Yes," Edmond nodded, and said, "If the royal family is really unwilling to be controlled and wants to regain power, then it must be protected from attack from the outside, otherwise, with the power of the King of Turin, It was very difficult to deal with that teacher alone, and I wanted to suffer the enemy on both sides.
"Marshal, can we start the spies in the Kingdom of Turin, go to the capital, contact the royal family of the Kingdom of Turin, and inquire about the news by the way?"
Turin's penetration of the Greek Empire was very serious. After the war began, countless spies sprang up, bringing great trouble to the Empire.
However, I do not know that there are spies in the Turin Kingdom, and the Greek Empire has also inserted many eyeliners in the Kingdom. Some even high-level spies ~ EbookFREE.me ~ have been mixed with the title of the Turin Kingdom, and they are faintly developing to high levels. trend.
Of course, the more advanced the spies, the more rare the usual activities will be. Only when they receive orders from the imperial capital, will they start relevant activities, otherwise they will usually live in the kingdom and take the initiative. Defend the interests of the kingdom.
In this case, launching a general spy will obviously not bring accurate information, but the use of advanced spies is very risky.
Besides, spies of this level can be said to use one less at a time.
Regardless of the outcome, once their people reveal their identity, they will certainly not be able to stay in the Kingdom of Turin in the future.
Edmund clearly knew the risks, but he also supported Gavin's decision.
After all, if this matter proves to be true, the impact on the empire will obviously exceed the value of a spy.
With the decision, Jiawen let people pass the order, and then they just had to wait for the news.
If nothing else, it is estimated that in just a few days, the final results will be returned through special channels. At that time, they can determine the authenticity of the letter and decide whether to readjust their strategy for the Turin kingdom.
However, just the day after Jiawen and others waited for the news, there was a huge movement outside the city of Radiance.
When Gavin and Edmond ascended the city wall, they saw soldiers in the mountains.
Unlike before, these soldiers exude an inexplicable breath all over their bodies. Jia Wen saw through the glasses, and the eyes of these soldiers were full of fierce colors.
"His Royal Highness, looking at the scale, it is estimated that the naval division launched all the soldiers around him and wanted to make a break with us."
