Gold is Justice

And after the feeling of being tricked, what came up was an impulsive sense of whether he should turn around and run away immediately.

What does it mean?

As a stranger, the first sentence when meeting for the first time is to propose marriage directly?

Moreover, look at this guy, when he is kneeling on one knee, his eyes can be even with himself!How terrifying is this man? !

However, surprise is nothing but surprise, no matter how scary Ariel thinks the current scene is, she must keep all these thoughts in her stomach, and cannot show even the slightest bit on her face.

At that moment, she put her hands behind her back and tightly grabbed the fabric of her cloak where the prince couldn't see. At the same time, she said very calmly: "As a gentleman meeting for the first time, it seems that you shouldn't do anything. Such a disrespectful move."

Seeing that Ariel was not scared by her sudden marriage proposal, and was even able to cope with it normally, this prince was also slightly surprised.But then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said: "You are more beautiful and charming than I imagined. At the same time, you are more courageous and courageous than I imagined. With your character and wisdom And appearance, as long as you are willing, I believe that there will be countless kings and princes in the world who want you to be their partner. I am very lucky to be the first to express my true love to you in front of those people. "

Ariel raised her hand to cover her lips, smiled in a very ladylike manner, and said, "I'm already a 24-year-old girl. Your Highness must have imagined me too well."

Kuang Lan raised her head, looked directly at Ariel, and said with a smile: "Perhaps the God of Time really cares for you, and now you seem to be at your age forever. Before you came in, I might have a little thought If you want to test the meaning, then what I say now is absolutely true. So, please allow me to say it to you again—”

The prince took a deep breath, then stretched out the palm that was almost as big as Ariel's head, took Ariel's hand, and said solemnly: "Ms. Ariel Garcia, will you marry me and become a stormy girl?" Imperial concubine? If you become my wife, then of course I would do anything for you. The hundred thousand troops stationed here can also be mobilized by your thoughts."

"All it takes is a nod from you."

At that moment, Ariel felt that her head had already flown into the sky.

What kind of wonderful development is this in a musical? !The prince of a country suddenly became so infatuated with a woman he had only met once?He is even willing to hand over the [-] troops to this girl to command!

If this is a love, then how vigorous is this love?Would anyone in this world like such a scene?Ariel can guarantee that this should definitely be the marriage proposal ceremony that many girls dream of, right?

Moreover, this prince looks well-mannered and strong.Even the humble thing of proposing marriage as soon as they met, he did it so chicly, even Ariel felt that her heartstrings were slightly twitched, and she felt a little bit nervous and shy. up.

However, the excitement is the excitement, Ariel still feels that she should always grasp her position.Even if the brain is a little overheated for a while, it should be adjusted in time to reset the overheated string in the brain.

After wandering around for a while, Ariel took a deep breath, adjusted her heartbeat, and then showed that commercial smile on her face again, and said: "Your Highness, it seems to have disturbed your slumber tonight. I'm sorry. I'll call on you again tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Ariel's feet started to step back.But when she wanted to pull her hand back from the opponent's palm, she found that the man was still holding her hand, let alone pulling it back. It was firmly welded, and Ariel would probably believe it.

"It seems that Ms. Marquis still hasn't made up her mind."

After Ariel tried to pull her hand twice, Kuang Lan finally let go of her hand, and then stood up again.His tall figure once again showed a sense of oppression on Ariel——

"But it doesn't matter, I don't care that you used to be Bilan's mistress. It is absolutely true that I proposed to you, even if I have to go to war with the Blue Bay Empire for you."

Ariel rubbed her wrist and smiled: "Your Highness, please tell your mistress this kind of thing."

Kuang Lan also laughed twice, then waved her hand and pointed to the seat next to her: "Please sit down!"

The prince returned to the center of the tent, where there was a throne covered with thick monster skin.After Kuang Lan sat down on the huge monster leather seat, it didn't look so huge anymore.

Ariel also smiled, sat down on a chair next to her, and said, "Thanks to Your Highness, it seems that Your Highness should have known a lot of information about me in advance."

Kuang Lan supported the chair with one hand, her lion-like face swayed up and down for a moment, and said: "The only thing I know about you is the rumors, and I won't know the details until we meet. I can only say that you did not disappoint me, you are more perfect than the perfect woman I imagined."

Chapter 590 Compromise is diplomacy

Ariel stood up and saluted the prince again: "Then I would like to thank the prince for his kindness. It's just that it's getting late now, and it's not a good thing for us, a man and a woman, to be in this tent after all. Besides, His Highness just told me Marriage proposal, if His Highness is really a gentleman, please think of me, a highly regarded woman."

This time, Kuang Lan laughed again.Afterwards, he waved his hand and said, "Okay! Marquis Ariel Garcia, I know what you want to do when you come to my country this time. It's about the Demon King's Army, right?"

Ariel's heart sank, but then she nodded calmly: "It seems that His Highness already knows about the Demon King's Army."

Kuang Lan changed his posture and said: "The name of the Demon King Army is really just heard from you and your mermaid army. Before, your mermaid army sent me a greeting card, I hope I I was able to lead the Storm Empire to form an alliance with your Mermaid Army, and then fight against the Demon King Army together. Later, I waited and waited for no one to come, and after checking, I found out that your troops had been attacked and scattered. At that time, I knew, I will definitely have a chance to see you, the rumored leader of the mermaid army."

Ariel's face still showed a very calm expression, but due to emotional requirements, her smile gradually disappeared and turned into a very serious expression: "Then, may I ask your highness to tell my subordinates news from us?"

Kuang Lan reached out and patted her sleeve, and said, "Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry!"

He sat down again, and continued: "To tell you the truth, shortly after your army was attacked, another envoy came to my side, seeking an audience with me. It was a spirit, and he said he was not What is the Demon King’s army, but the army of the Elf King. It’s just because there is a life-and-death conflict with your mermaid army, so you have no choice but to attack the mermaid army in my country, and you come to ask for my forgiveness.”

Ariel was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment in her heart, she said, "The other party claims to be an army of elves? Your Highness, this so-called army of elves is actually the army of the devil king. Their leader is the one who broke the seal and returned to the world." The Demon King is an elf. His claim is nothing more than a cover-up, in fact—"

"Then isn't the term you Mermaid Army also a separate title?"

There was a smile on Kuang Lan's face, but his tone didn't have the slightest intention to allow refutation.Of course, such a simple and rough voice interrupted Ariel's speech, forcing her to shut up——

"I know you mermaid army. From what I know, you were originally only a small rebel army in the territory of the Blue Bay Empire. Later, after the development of Karma, you have the ability to wrestle with the Blue Bay Empire." Afterwards, you claimed that the demon king who had been sealed for more than 1000 years had reappeared, and wanted to form an alliance with the Blue Bay Empire to attack this demon king army you claimed."

"But in my opinion, is there any difference between your approach and that of the Blue Bay Empire? Blue Bay called you rebels, and you called this elf army the Demon King Army. And as far as I know, you just You just attacked an elf army, causing the other party to be completely wiped out? In this case, the elf army wanted to avenge you and attacked your diplomatic missions, which is reasonable in my opinion."

Speaking of this, Kuang Lan smiled again, and then put on a somewhat magnanimous expression: "It's just that they suddenly broke into our territory without telling us, and attacked other countries' troops on our territory , This is not very friendly." Ariel knew that the general of the Demon King's Army who came to see the prince must have said a lot and done a lot.Otherwise, just rashly attacking another country's army on the territory of another country can be regarded as a hostile attitude.

It can only be said that the current approach of the Demon King Army is too cautious, careful not to set up too many enemies, and has a clear goal, trying its best to prevent the human army from forming an alliance!

In such a state, Ariel exhaled softly, and said slowly: "Your Highness, maybe you have never witnessed those scenes of monsters slaughtering humans with your own eyes, even before I actually saw the appearance of the Demon King with my own eyes. It won't be that complicated. I know, no matter how much I say now, it won't help the matter, but we came to the Storm Empire this time for rescue, and I implore you, Your Highness, to allow our mermaid army to carry out rescue activities for our companions. And if possible , and please provide some necessary help."

The prince of the Stormwind Empire waved his hand, as if he wanted to brush some dust off his clothes, and laughed.Afterwards, he looked Ariel up and down again, and said, "No rush! It won't make much difference if it's a matter of saving lives."

Ariel immediately stood up from her seat: "Your Highness, please don't make such a bad joke."

Kuang Lan continued to look at Ariel in front of her, and said with a smile: "A joke? I'm not joking. What you want to save is yours, and it has nothing to do with me. So, it's only natural that I'm not in a hurry. For now There is no official relationship between the mermaid army and our Stormwind Empire, what relationship do you have with me? Why should I let you run around in my territory?"

Just as Ariel was about to speak, the man said again: "Of course, if you become my wife and the official concubine of the Stormwind Empire, then your affairs will naturally be my affairs. I have reasons for everything. If you want to help you, you can even persuade the subjects in our country, and persuade the father and king to help you. I don’t need to love you, or I can have no feelings for you, and I don’t even want to marry you. But we have always There needs to be a reason to do it, no?"

Although the prince's words and sentences seem to be very frivolous, Ariel can still tell from the man's eyes and posture that he is not taking advantage of this opportunity to get cheap, but is seriously thinking about a help. The reason for the political aspect of the mermaid army.

After hearing these words, Ariel suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then came to her senses: "That elf...and his elf army, are they still in your country? Even your country has the other party's whereabouts? !"

Kuang Lan laughed again, he laughed happily, as if the suffocation that had been stagnant in his chest finally burst out!

At the moment, Kuang Lan nodded heavily, and said: "Ms. Garcia is very good at guessing? However, I can't tell you the exact answer. Is the other party in our country? Isn't it? That might be. Ms. Garcia, There's only one thing I want to say."

He paused for a moment, then said again——

"I don't care whether the army is the elf army or the demon king's army. To me, you and the other are the same. I can't take the initiative to stand by your side just because the leader of your mermaid army is such a beautiful woman." You have all kinds of information. If this is the case, it means that the position of the Storm Empire between your two armies is not neutral, or even directly to one side."

"Although the Stormwind Empire is not afraid of any challenges in this world, there is no need for us to engage in hostile relations with anyone for no reason. Ms. Garcia, again, I have many reasons for not helping you, but you You must give me a reason to help you. I think Ms. Garcia is so smart that she should not fail to understand this matter."

According to the general thinking, the so-called reason is definitely to marry the prince, right?Absolutely!

But Ariel doesn't think so. After all, it is too exaggerated for a country to change its foreign strategy by marrying a woman alone.Therefore, there must be a more important reason for this.

In other words, this Kuang Lan Xifeng wants to get more bargaining chips from Ariel... Only if the entire mermaid army is completely under the control of the Storm Empire, then such chips may still be regarded as enough. .

Thinking of this, Ariel immediately understood the meaning of the prince's words.At that moment, she let out a little breath, nodded helplessly, and said, "If I say that the 500 people from our mermaid army this time, and all the soldiers who will be rescued in the future, will all obey the orders of the Storm Empire unconditionally, Is such a bargaining chip enough?"

For such an answer, Kuang Lan laughed again.

This kind of laughter sounded very pure and unrestrained, but Ariel could barely hear that this man was using this kind of laughter to cover up his true thoughts.

"Ms. Garcia is really refreshing! Yes, but simply asking your mermaid army to obey me is not a very appropriate bargaining chip. But now it can only be like this. Then since your mermaid army completely obeys the orders of the Storm Empire, So is the command of the operation also with us?"

Ariel exhaled a little, and said slowly: "I will inform everyone in our army tomorrow morning that the command of the wartime belongs to His Royal Highness Kuang Lan Xifeng. But!" Before the man started laughing wildly again, Ariel also You must put forward your own request: "I also said that this matter can only be achieved if you are willing to inform me of the current situation of the mermaid army envoy. If you don't say anything, then our cooperation will naturally be difficult." There is no basis for trust."

Kuang Lan stood up from his seat, and slowly moved to the door, like a gentleman sending a lady off, with one hand in front of his chest, he said slowly——

"It's all easy to say. Tomorrow morning, I will tell you what you want. And I believe that Ms. Garcia will never regret this transaction with me. Please, I wish you a good dream."

Seeing this exaggeratedly burly prince, Ariel had no other choice but to get up, and after performing a ladylike courtesy to this gentleman, she walked out of the tent.

After briefly talking about the contents of the tent with the people in Song of the Mermaid, the Stormtrooper soldiers took everyone into the resting tents and arranged to rest.

----

In the early morning of the next day, Ariel gave an order to all the soldiers of the Mermaid Army to transfer the command to the Stormtrooper.

Such an instruction obviously made the soldiers of the Mermaid Army very puzzled, and even thought that this order should be understood in reverse.

But after making such an order, the Prince Kuanglan Xifeng actually put Ariel under house arrest in the name of entertaining, and then he could use the tone of "communication" to indirectly issue orders to the soldiers of the Mermaid Army.And without seeing Ariel's body, the soldiers didn't dare to resist, so they could only do it for the time being.

The prince's first order to the mermaid army was to let the mermaid army break out of camp and continue to advance northward as the vanguard of the storm army.As for where to go, the prince did not say, and according to the accompanying Herald of the Stormtrooper, they did not know where they continued to go north.Maybe there is the rumored end of the world?

Since they don't know anything, and the storm army is now moving slowly and synchronously about a kilometer behind the mermaid army, the mermaid army can only obey orders and move forward cautiously.

But at this moment, Ariel was riding a horse in the formation of the Stormtroopers behind, but she heard something that made her very happy.

"They're still alive?! Really?"

Kulan Zephyr's big stature meant that he didn't have any horses to ride on, so he was now sitting cross-legged on the frame of an eight-horse cart.

It was daytime now, although the temperature was slightly higher than at night, but the prince seemed to be wearing less clothes than last night.He was still wearing pajamas last night, but now, his upper body is only wearing a small mandarin jacket, exposing two arms and almost the entire chest!Seeing him dressed like this, if it weren't for the fact that the wind is blowing on the face and it hurts, Ariel might really think that it is not winter in December, but summer in July and August, right?

"I don't know the purpose of that elf, maybe it's to show his gentleness? Or maybe he doesn't want me to think that he is really leading the Demon King Army. So it seems that he didn't kill all of you, but killed all of you. It imprisoned captives and took them to the north. Hahaha! Actually, this reminds me of you killing all [-] elf soldiers in the official battle. In my opinion, your behavior is more like It's the Demon King's Army."

Ariel was a little confused about what this man was trying to say. If he didn't trust the mermaid army and believed that the mermaid army was the one to be wary of, then he was indeed helping the mermaid army find those soldiers. whereabouts.

But if he was really opposed to the Demon King's Army, this man repeatedly used neutral words to express his distrust of the Mermaid Army, while at the same time expressing his favor for the Demon King's Army.

beat?Or urge?

All in all, Ariel is really a little confused about what is going on in this man's mind.Logically speaking, such a burly figure should be a person with a simple mind and a style of acting that relies entirely on brute force, right?But the prince's appearance gave Ariel a very exaggerated sense of oppression.For a person who can't see clearly what's in his mind, Ariel still thinks it's better to keep a certain distance and not get too close.

Facing Ariel's silence, Kuang Lan continued to laugh haha, and continued: "Ms. Garcia, I believe you will understand that I left you alone by my side, separated from your soldiers. meaning. In order to make up for my apology, I plan to give you a little gift. What do you want? As long as I can take it out right now, I will definitely give it to you without hesitation."

Ariel smiled, her hands holding the rein seemed a little stiff, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Prince, if there is a stove for me to warm up at this time, then I can lie on a warm bed wrapped in a quilt and enjoy the beautiful and moving Reading a book while listening to music makes for a perfect day."

"Hahahaha! Ms. Garcia is still a little bit dissatisfied with me!"

"Hehehe, what do you think, Your Highness?"

Kuang Lan nodded, looked at the advancing mermaid army in the distance, and continued: "What are you going to do if you encounter the elf army later? Do you want your soldiers to rush up and fight?"

Ariel snorted: "Can I still command my army now?"

Kuang Lan: "If you are willing to do this, of course I will pass your order to the front troops. But I think this is not Ms. Garcia's original intention."

Ariel exhaled slightly, then raised her head to look at the sky.I saw that the sky that was originally clear, without even a trace of cloud, now gradually came a few white clouds from afar.The further north you go, the more these clouds appear.It didn't take long for half of the entire sky to be covered by clouds, forming a wonderful scene in which black clouds appear to be in front of the front, but it is still cloudless when viewed backward.

After thinking for a while, Ariel also simply said: "What Your Highness wants is not simply to help me, and then obtain an alliance with the mermaid army? You should also want something, and these things you want Things may be very important, so important that you are so cautious."

Kuang Lan tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile, "Oh? Did you see it?"

Ariel continued: "In order not to disappoint Your Highness who praised me for being smart, of course I have to be smart. The Demon King's Army attacked my envoys. After this attack, the Demon King's Army sent someone to explain to you, but you Still immediately activated the [-] troops to attack the scene, and camped for a while. It is conceivable that you are still a little bit reluctant to let go of the words of the elf, but it is an exaggeration to dispatch a [-] troops for such a little bit of reluctance. Therefore, there must be something worthy of His Highness' special attention."

One thousand 590 three chapters obey orders and obey commands

Kuang Lan smiled again: "Then guess, what purpose do I have?"

Ariel smiled wryly: "If I can guess it, will you still let me live? It is precisely because I can't guess it that I can continue to stay here with Your Highness."

Kuang Lan patted her thigh and said with a smile: "Marquis Ariel Garcia, I once heard that you were born as a maid, so you were able to cultivate such a set of clever words to coax your master. Now it looks really true! Your experience is really legendary, if your future death is not too useless and tragic, there should be many bards wanting to sing your story."

Ariel's face changed: "I'm sorry, I don't want to hear the word bard anymore."

At this time, the clouds have completely covered the entire sky.Such thick clouds even made the sky darken.
