Chapter 55 Mutation and Countermeasures
Chapter 55 Mutations and Countermeasures
The attitude of the residents of Campas towards Louis III's illness is just like the attitude of He Taiping toward Chinese football before the time travel. Although they knew that it would collapse sooner or later, they could not determine when it would collapse. Over the past ten years, Louis's health has been getting better and worse, and has been repeatedly tossed many times. However, just when people suspected that he might have to tormented until he was eighty, the old king finally fell down...
According to the news sent back by the Ghost reporter of the Royal Capital using the remote communication system, Louis suddenly fell ill a few days ago and was immediately ill, and he could die at any time. What's worse, he suddenly fell ill and did not make a will to let Isabel succeed to the throne. Therefore, Constantine has long been in chaos now. The important officials of the Prime Minister's Sect and the Princess Sect gathered in the palace at the same time, forming a confrontation in the name of visiting the king.
"Suddenly I fell ill? Is this really that simple?" He Taiping repeated these four words with interest, showing an intriguing smile. Andre, who arrived hurriedly, sat on the sofa and shook his head gently and said, "Dear brother, I'm afraid you really guessed wrong this time. I just talked to Lawrence, and he said that this matter really has nothing to do with him."
"Is that true? Then His Majesty Louis fell ill..." He Taiping was stunned for a moment, then sighed helplessly, "But it doesn't matter whether he did it or not. In my opinion, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness at this time is very sure that this is Lawrence's masterpiece."
He Taiping's analysis is correct. Constantine is indeed shrouded in this suspicious atmosphere, and the situation is becoming more and more complicated. With hatred for Lawrence, Isabel naturally hopes to ascend the throne as soon as possible and then avenge his father, and she relies on the identity of the only heir. But how could Lawrence easily let her succeed? Several members of parliamentarians, at the sign of the Prime Minister, raised the view that women are not qualified to inherit the throne, and suggested that Prime Minister Lawrence be temporarily managed by the principal.
In terms of strength, Rance naturally surpassed Isabel, but unless it was a formal battle, he would not be able to swallow Isabel. On the other hand, although Louis III was already ill, he had not left the world after all, which made Lawrence afraid and dared not take action. In addition, I don’t know what Princess Isabel used in private, but actually won the support of some neutral lords, and its strength has also improved a lot, forcing Lawrence to think twice before acting.
"Meow, why don't you get messy early or late? But you're messy at this time?" After hearing Andre's introduction, He Taiping was stunned at first, but then sighed helplessly, and began to feel that this matter became troublesome. The various careers in Paradise City are just starting, and it is a good opportunity to make a lot of money. However, such a big thing happened suddenly. Who has the heart to consider what entertainment?
In other words, unless the battle for the throne is settled, the situation in the entire principality will only continue to deteriorate, and the trade income of Paradise City will gradually decrease. This is naturally not what He Taiping is willing to see, but his troubles are not just that. Andrey frowned slightly and pondered: "This is not the biggest trouble, what I am really worried about... In fact, Lawrence has just proposed that once Louis dies, we will ask us to stand clearly on his side and even be ready to join the war directly."
"What a joke, we have to work hard for him?" Although he muttered so, He Taiping had to admit that Lawrence's approach was logical. But this was not what he wanted to see. Paradise City should still maintain a neutral position, regardless of this kind of chore. But then again, when Lawrence came to him, he would say to him: "You were fooled, but Andre is not your son at all..."
For a moment, the people in the room looked at each other and were a little confused. However, at this moment, Lian Jia, who was leaning on the sofa, suddenly waved her hand and said impatiently: "What do you think about? Can't you afford to mess with me? Let's run away and pretend that it's not here."
Her words seemed to be venting, but after hearing this, He Taiping and Andrei's eyes lit up at the same time and they said "It's reasonable". After thinking for a moment, He Taiping immediately smiled and said, "That's right, then I'll go to Mufat to see the perfume trade and promote a few new businesses. Andrei, did Lawrence ask me just now?"
"Of course, how could he ignore your existence?" Andre said lightly, "But don't worry, I told him that you accepted my order and went to the dark desert to recruit soldiers, and you would not be able to come back for a while. Well, that's fine. If he urges me to ask you to come back, I will say that you encounter a sandstorm or the dark desert is too big and will not be found for a while."
"This seems to be easy to arouse suspicion." He Taiping slowly stroked his chin, but could only sigh helplessly. Although it seemed a little coincidental, Lawrence would not turn against him immediately even if he had suspicion! As long as he delayed this period of time and waited for Paradise City to have enough strength, even if Lawrence really turned against him, he would be fearless.
As soon as he thought of this, he immediately stood up and ordered his subordinates to handle all matters. Fortunately, he had not appeared for more than ten days since the screening of "The Legend of the New White Snake", so he was not afraid that Lawrence's spy would learn about the situation. After solving this biggest problem, other things were easy to solve. After a simple consultation, the accompanying personnel were designated as Lian Jia, Christine and Angel. Among these three, Lian Jia was familiar with the situation in the dark desert, and Christine never left, but Angel was instructed by Constance and specially followed He Taiping to monitor his relationship with Lian Jia.
Poor Constance, if it weren't for the fact that the baby was in a critical period and could not go through long distances, she would have wanted to accompany her. But now, she could only temporarily speak out and entrust Angel to take care of He Taiping. A few days later, as all matters in Paradise City began to proceed normally and orderly, He Taiping immediately took Lian Jia and the other two to sneak into the territory of Siad, and set out from the plant laboratory that was very impressive, and brought a new batch of perfume into the Petro Grand Canyon.
There was nothing to say all the way, and the convoy arrived at the Titan, the capital of Mufat. Naturally, Soya, who had received the news, came out of the city to welcome him. Although He Taiping had a conspiracy in his heart, he couldn't help but feel a little happy when he saw Soya coming out to greet him with a smile. The two joked a lot along the way and finally shifted the topic to the perfume trade.
But unlike He Taiping's idea, he wrote to Sawyer, who complained about the shortage of perfume supply some time ago, but this time he frowned with some worries and said that the recent sales were not very good. He Taiping was slightly stunned and couldn't help asking: "What's going on? Could it be that something is wrong with our perfume quality? Or are the nobles already a little tired of perfume?"
"No, the problem now is that the nobles don't want to buy it, but they don't dare to buy it." Sawyer shook his head and sighed helplessly, but despite this, he was unwilling to say anything more, which aroused He Taiping's curiosity even more. After a while, Lian Jia, who was signaled by He Taiping, used a tone that was enough to make a normal person dizzy, and sarcastically said: "Is that true? Maybe it's just because of the unfavorable sales, so he just made an excuse!"
After being stimulated by Lian Jia, Soya immediately retorted red with her face. The two sides fought each other for a while. Soya finally suffered a loss, and was young and energetic. She couldn't help but blurt out: "It's not like this! It's just that because my cousin wants to use troops in the dark desert, she is preparing..."
Before he finished speaking, he knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said. But even so, Sawyer simply did not hide it and told the whole thing. According to him, the Duchy of Mufat planned to take advantage of the civil strife in Campas to send troops to quell the dark desert in one fell swoop, but Richard II asked for an increase in the extravagant taxes of the nobles because of the empty treasury.
Naturally, this request was naturally protested and cried by the nobles. In anger, Richard II simply ordered the luxury goods industry in the royal capital to reduce sales. In his words, don’t you all say you are poor? Then don’t sell luxury goods so that you won’t waste money.
He Taiping and Lianjia, Angel couldn't help but look at each other when they heard this. However, Sawyer still felt uncomfortable and said with a little angrily: "Those nobles are, too. They know that the treasury is empty and still make things difficult for me. But after all, it is still the dark creatures in the dark desert that are not good - it's strange. I don't know where they got a batch of weapons and armor, and they actually began to sneak into our Mufat territory to attack. In addition, the Holy See also has some actions against the dark desert, so I forced my cousin to make up my mind to attack the dark desert."
"Oh, this..." He Taiping touched his chin and couldn't help but smile a little bitterly - as if he thought about it carefully, both of these things were unrelated to him, but he didn't expect to move a stool and smash himself in the foot. If Mufat really attacked the dark desert, the conscription plan would not be carried out, and maybe some unnecessary secrets would be leaked.
"But this is also a good opportunity." However, just as everyone arrived at the Prince's Mansion and was about to get off the bus, Angel took advantage of the opportunity to get a few meters away from Sawyer and whispered in He Taiping's ear, "Maybe, we can take this opportunity to take all the races in the dark desert..."
"You mean..." He Taiping was slightly stunned and looked at Soya thoughtfully, "Maybe we can give it a try, but then maybe we will break with Soya early."
