In the afternoon, the bell of Norburg rang again, and the ninth emergency meeting began.

The theme of this meeting is the good news about Broken Snow City.

No one wanted to speak first because the news came too suddenly.

The Prime Minister once again turned his attention to Edmund: "Minister of the Interior, what do you think of this matter?"

After experiencing the last lesson, Edmund became much more cautious.

"I think we should send someone to verify the accuracy of the information first."

"Verification?" Prime Minister Spindu smiled, "Do you think you still need to verify? Do you think a group of farmers can defeat Prince Sean's two thousand army? Can stupid Reggie Victor capture Prince Sean alive? He even took the prince's boots.

You can’t even touch it, do you think it’s necessary to verify such stupid news?”

Edmund remained silent. The morning meeting made him discover a problem. As long as he opened his mouth, he would definitely encounter the Prime Minister's crushing remarks.

All the ministers present instantly understood the tone of the meeting. The general stood up first and said: "Reggie Victor has committed a serious crime. As a lord, he lied about military information. He should be sent to the gallows."

The Foreign Minister said: "His actions will affect our judgment of the situation and lead us to make serious mistakes."

The finance minister kept shaking his head and said: "Thankfully, the Prime Minister exposed his scam. I really don't understand, what is his purpose of doing this?"

The bachelor said tremblingly: "He, he wants to defraud the royal capital of the reward, this shameless person!"

The king sighed, and everyone stood up immediately. It seemed that the king was going to speak in advance.

"Perhaps we really should give Suixue City some help. Do we have any extra food?"

Of course the king knew how much food there was in the capital, but he did not want to give Reggie any assistance. Just as Bachelo said, he had not given a helping hand to any lord since he became king.

But he doesn't want to be a bad guy either. He is a benevolent king, and his ministers have to be the bad guys.

At this point, the Prime Minister did the best. He was willing to take the blame for the King, and he did so naturally and smoothly.

But there are always slow ministers who cannot accurately understand the king's intentions, such as Edmund.

He misjudged the king's thoughts. He thought that the king really wanted to help Suixue City.

So he spoke before the Prime Minister.

"Your Majesty, we still have a batch of grain," Edmund said excitedly, "It's at the Golden Lion Port, totaling 16 million pounds."

The king's face instantly turned green, and the Prime Minister frowned and said: "Minister of the Interior, that is aid to the friendly country Zansang. Don't you know it clearly?"

"I know that's aid," Edmund said with a chill in his heart. It seemed that he had said the wrong thing again, "but Broken Snow City doesn't need much. As mentioned in their letter, they only need 800,000 pounds."

wheat……"

"Sixteen million pounds is the number we promised to support the country. Not one pound less!" The Prime Minister's attitude was very firm.

"Eight hundred thousand pounds is only 5% of 16 million pounds..."

"Not even one percent!" the Prime Minister pounded the table and said, "This involves the credibility of a big country. This is the credibility of the Lion Country in front of its friends. Do you understand!"

"Well, there are still 2.4 million pounds of wheat in Golden Lion City, can you..."

"Of course not! It's for the celebration. We have to brew the best wine. This is the biggest celebration in the kingdom in forty years. This is related to the dignity and decency of the kingdom, do you understand!"

The furious Prime Minister almost smashed the table. After calming down, he saluted respectfully and said: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, I lost my temper, but I think we really shouldn't sympathize with a liar."

The bachelor nodded and said: "The Prime Minister is right, this will only encourage bad habits."

The finance minister shook his head and said: "I can't imagine that Victor would dare to use this method to defraud the reward."

The Foreign Minister said: "He also said in the letter before that his political officer, Baron Beech, betrayed the country. But as far as I know, Baron Beech has always been loyal to the kingdom. Liars like Reggie Victor must be punished.

Severe punishment."

…

"I just want to get some food for the residents of Broken Snow City..." Edmund could only whisper to himself, his last struggle being drowned in everyone's saliva.

The king closed his eyes, his expression was very sad.

"People of Broken Snow City, poor children," the king lamented, "their stupid lords killed him."

The university scholar said: "Your Majesty, you don't have to feel sad for this shameless person. I think Reginald Victor should be captured now. We should send him to the gallows. Cheating the king is tantamount to treason. We want to

Let the other lords see what happens to traitors."

Everyone fell silent instantly.

Grand Maester Conrad was ninety-six years old.

A ninety-six-year-old man will inevitably make some mistakes.

He made a mistake just now. He said he would arrest Reggie immediately.

Who is willing to do such a thing? Who is willing to go to a place where there is a war to arrest people?

Although they always firmly believe that the Bayer Country is a friend of the Lane Country, they still have some understanding of the behavior of the Bayer Country.

The soldiers of the Bayer Kingdom are like beasts that have not fully evolved. Many of their atrocities have exceeded the bottom line of mankind. Of course, these things cannot be said in meetings. A qualified minister of the Lion Kingdom must learn to be blind when the time is right.

Be deaf, be dumb.

But if they were to face Bayer's army, it would be better to kill them on the spot.

The atmosphere became tense and awkward, but in the end the kind king calmed everyone's fears.

"I really didn't expect that Victor VI would turn out to be like this, that he would lie to me," the king kept shaking his head and sighed. "Although his father is not smart enough, at least old Victor is honest."

He has never deceived me. For the sake of his father, let him reflect for a few more days and wait until the day when the misunderstanding with friends is eliminated before dealing with him."

The king sighed, and everyone also breathed a sigh of relief.

The Prime Minister read out the resolution as usual: Lord Reginald Victor of Shattered Snow City, who lied about military information to obtain rewards, will be severely punished after the border incident.

…

Messenger Lance was still listening to Bill recount his heroic feats, but this time he was not in a cabin, but in a prison cell.

Because Reggie was found to have lied about military intelligence, the three couriers were also implicated, and they were all taken to jail, awaiting interrogation.

"You know, I took off all my clothes, but they couldn't find my letter," Bill shouted excitedly. "Guess where I hid the letter?"

"That's enough, stop talking!" Lance said, "Can you be quiet for a while? Simon has been gone for a long time, why the hell hasn't he come back?"

"I don't care if he comes back or not," Bill sneered, "Why the hell are you lying? Why are you lying with the lord?"

Lance frowned and said, "How do you know he lied?"

"He said that the lord captured the prince. Isn't this a stupid lie? Would you believe such a lie?"

Bill made a harsh sneer. He knew he was going crazy. Before he went crazy, he wanted to tell Lance a secret. There were two gold coins hidden in the secret place of his body. He wanted Lance to give these two gold coins.

Give a gold coin to his wife.

Is Klans really reliable?

In the gap between laughter, Bill clearly heard Lance say: "I believe it."

"What do you believe?"

"I believe the lord won the battle, I believe he captured the damn prince, our lord changed, I believe he really did all this." While speaking, Lance kept looking at Bill, his

His eyes were extremely firm, without any dodge or escape.

Bill came to the conclusion that Lance was also crazy, and even more crazy than him.

I can't entrust the gold coins to him anymore, I have to find a more reliable person.

Why the hell hasn’t Simon come back yet?

It was getting dark and Simon finally came back.

He was beaten so badly that Lance and Bill barely recognized him.

Bill helped Lance lie down under the wall, and Lance took off his coat and covered Bill.

"Then, those beasts, wanted to force me to lie," Simon gasped, "I, I, will not lie, I, we won the battle, we captured the king, the prince, I will not let, let

They slander Broken Snow City..."

"I know, old man," Lance found some water for Simon, "I know what you said is true, hold on, my old man, we will definitely be able to return to Shattered Snow City, and the lord will give us

Revenge!"

…

The late autumn night was getting colder and colder. Prime Minister Spindu was meeting with a girl who deeply admired the Prime Minister in his mansion.

The girl's name is Meluni, and she is one of the most famous singers in the City of Golden Lions.

"You will never know how much courage and wisdom you need when you face a major decision, a major decision that affects the rise and fall of life and death," the Prime Minister unbuttoned his clothes and pointed to his chest.

Courage and wisdom are here, burning like fire, do you want to touch it?"

Melanie touched the Prime Minister's chest lightly, and her dark green pupils flashed.

She took a quick breath, retracted her fingers, looked at the Prime Minister in surprise and said, "I feel it, I feel the fire in your heart."

"Did you really feel it?"
