Chapter 250: He noticed it! Joy, then let
Tang Zheng's voice fell into the ears of everyone, making the already calm hall become even quieter.
Lakyus and the others looked at Tang Zheng with expressions of confusion and surprise.
Princess Renner, on the contrary, did not show any signs of disappointment; she still nodded politely, though her eyes had dimmed quite a bit.
"Why?"
Suddenly, a somewhat excited voice broke the atmosphere.
Climb widened his eyes and couldn't help but take a step forward, clenching his fists as he spoke loudly: "It's clearly possible to help more people... why?"
By the time he reached the last three words, Climb had already noticed that everyone was looking at him and realized his slip of the tongue.
In such an occasion, as a subordinate, one should not express any opinion, just like Miss Reynas, whose status was far higher than his, who had only stood behind Princess Renner from beginning to end without speaking.
"Excuse me."
Climb's cheeks flushed red, and he bowed deeply.
"He is Climb, a very excellent child; please don't take offense, Lord Tang," Lakyus said, putting away the surprised look on her face.
"It is my lack of instruction," Princess Renner also said with an apologetic face.
Tang Zheng looked at Climb and smiled dismissively: "No, the Princess has taught him well; he is a very upright person."
"Could you explain the reason?"
Princess Renner sat upright with her hands on her legs covered by her long dress, asking curiously.
"First, not to mention the issue of raw materials, with my personal ability, I cannot provide a potion supply for an army of thousands, or even tens of thousands, and it would be a long-term cooperation."
"Second, I am not short of money."
"Third, as an adventurer, according to the regulations of the Xianzhegong Society, one cannot intervene in wars between nations. Although I am not sure if assisting with potions counts as intervention, I hate trouble."
Tang Zheng glanced at Lakyus as he said this, leaned back, and spoke softly and slowly.
The three reasons left everyone speechless for a moment; although they couldn't be called fully sufficient, they were indeed unanswerable.
"Hahaha."
Gagaran suddenly let out a hearty laugh, her sharp eyes narrowing as she stared at Tang Zheng:
"I knew it, the ideas of you two are truly naive."
Lakyus turned her head: "Gagaran."
"Got it, Boss." Gagaran laughed it off and withdrew her gaze, leaning back on the sofa.
Lakyus pursed her lips; she felt that this matter could actually still be discussed, and she was just about to speak.
Princess Renner had already raised her slender arm and pressed it onto Lakyus's palm, her fair cheeks revealing a brilliant smile: "It doesn't matter, many of my previous proposals have also been rejected."
Tang Zheng's gaze swept over Lakyus and the other, and he sneered in his heart.
Lakyus was completely eaten up by Princess Renner.
However.
What exactly was Princess Renner's goal?
Tang Zheng was very certain that Princess Renner did not care whether the previous proposal succeeded or not.
"Lord Tang, regarding the regeneration potion, there is one more small private matter I would like to ask about," Princess Renner said in a low voice, her expression somewhat conflicted.
Tang Zheng: "Princess, please speak."
"Climb, I'll trouble you."
"This is what I should do, Your Highness." With this brief dialogue, Climb walked away quickly.
This left Lakyus feeling puzzled as well; clearly, apart from the first matter, this so-called small matter had not been disclosed to Lakyus in advance.
"I often hear Lakyus talk about her experiences during adventures."
"Sometimes I also dream of myself being in the grasslands and jungles under the starlight, but as a princess, I cannot leave the Wang Gong."
Princess Renner picked up the black tea on the table, her bright red lips parted slightly, and she took a sip. Her fingers holding the cup handle shook slightly, and she said gently:
"Lord Tang knows Reynas; in the Baharuth Empire, you must also have some extraordinary adventure experiences, right?"
A flash of brilliance appeared in Tang Zheng's eyes, and he shook his head calmly.
"The life of an adventurer is not necessarily as exciting as the Princess imagines."
"I did indeed experience some interesting things in the Baharuth Empire. Speaking of which, some of the policies of the Baharuth Empire are actually somewhat similar to some of the Princess's proposals."
Tang Zheng seemed to have remembered something and pretended to be puzzled.
Princess Renner's fingers holding the cup handle paused, and she showed a surprised look: "Is that so? I heard that King Jircniv is a monarch with considerable talent."
"If there are similarities, perhaps it is because merchants or adventurers within the kingdom passed the proposals over there."
Tang Zheng nodded as if in agreement, then said something somewhat inexplicable: "That monarch currently seems to have no official wife yet."
Although the Bloody Emperor currently has a large number of concubines, he does not have a single official wife; not only now, but even three years later, it will still be the same.
Because the reforms initiated by the Bloody Emperor are not suitable for taking an official wife within the country, which leads to the other party only being able to choose a woman with a suitable status from abroad.
In the eyes of others present, this sentence seemed to be just an interesting fact, or something insignificant.
However!
Princess Renner's eyes trembled rarely, and she subconsciously looked up at Tang Zheng, just meeting those eyes that were smiling but not quite smiling.
He noticed it!
This thought flashed through Princess Renner's mind. After a moment of astonishment, it was a joy from the bottom of her heart that could not be described.
Tang Zheng's words just now were actually just a guess, but the moment he saw Princess Renner looking at him, he knew he had guessed correctly.
Princess Renner deliberately let some of her proposals fall into the hands of the Empire; even if the ideas were heterogeneous, at some point, there must be a certain purpose!
The subsequent conversation became simple instead.
Lakyus inserted a few sentences from time to time, and the brief words of the three made the atmosphere in the hall become peaceful again.
At this moment.
Evileye, who had been silent and seemed to have a low presence, frowned behind her mask, her gaze looking through the slits of the mask at Tang Zheng and Princess Renner.
Out of some intuition.
She always felt that some kind of obscure conversation had taken place between the two, while their leader was completely kept in the dark.
Not long after.
Climb, who had left, walked into the hall with two figures wearing masks and maid outfits.
Judging by their figures and attire, they should be maids from Princess Renner's side.
Everyone looked at this scene with some confusion.
Princess Renner said nothing, just stood up gently, reached out to pick up the regeneration potion that had been placed on the table, and walked toward the two maids. Under the gaze of everyone.
Princess Renner carefully and gently pulled up the sleeve on the arm of one of the maids.
The next moment.
The members of "Blue Rose" frowned at the same time.
It was seen that the maid's arm was actually full of wounds.
Princess Renner opened the regeneration potion and poured it onto these wounds. Under the effect of the potion, granulation tissue quickly grew on the wounds, and they recovered as before.
The situation of the other maid was similar.
Under this atmosphere, the two maids left under Climb's guidance again.
Princess Renner also returned to the sofa.
Until this moment, Lakyus, who had been silent, showed anger and spoke coldly: "Who did this?"
!
Those maids were all of noble status, and they were specifically responsible for taking care of Princess Renner; how dare they...
Lakyus's angry expression paused. Looking at the silent Princess Renner, she quickly realized something, and her face became a bit ugly.
"Those nobles!"
Lakyus gritted her teeth.
"Truly vicious, but this is normal, right?" Seeing Tina's flat voice said faintly.
"Boss, you are also a noble." Tia followed closely behind.
Gagaran revealed her snow-white teeth and grinned: "If you two keep talking, be careful, you will be beaten up by the devil captain."
Tia and Seeing Tina looked at each other, folded their arms, and closed their mouths at the same time, their movements exactly the same, like shadows.
Lakyus was already accustomed to the sharp tongues of her team members and sighed.
Speaking of which.
What does this matter have to do with Lord Tang?
"Princess, you are worried about the slaves, right?" Tang Zheng said faintly.
"Truly amazing, Lord Tang."
Princess Renner's dark blue eyes looked deeply at Tang Zheng, and her hands under the skirt hem pinched hard.
Actually, that scene just now could be interpreted in many ways, yet Tang Zheng chose the thing she was truly thinking about in her heart at once.
Princess Renner was excited inside, her legs rubbing gently, but her expression became more and more sacred and solemn: "Thinking that even the maids would be affected by this, the slaves with even lower status would suffer more severe persecution."
"The alchemical potion made by Lord Tang is so effective that it may not necessarily be a good thing for the slaves."
Tang Zheng's mouth twitched; he suddenly understood a bit why the Bloody Emperor rated Princess Renner as the number one most annoying woman in his heart.
"Eight Fingers!" Lakyus was a bit enlightened, spitting out two words, and her green eyes became serious.
Gagaran's face changed, and she realized for the first time that her devil captain was probably lost in some kind of emotion again on her own.
That was fine, but she was worried that Lakyus would rashly agree to some things that violated the regulations of the adventurer's guild.
Gagaran raised her thick arm and pushed Evileye, who had been silent next to her.
"Captain, you forgot about Seeing Tina's matter." Evileye's peculiar tone with heavy emphasis sounded from behind the mask.
"Oh!"
Lakyus came back to her senses at once, couldn't help but raise her hand to pat her forehead, first looked at Princess Renner apologetically, and then said: "Before this, there is one thing I forgot to explain to Lord Tang."
"As a sign of sincerity, regarding the 【Ijenia】 assassination organization, all pursuit and killing orders against you have been completely withdrawn, and they will not pursue the members of the 【Free Will】 adventurers in the future."
Lakyus's sudden opening also gave Tang Zheng a chance to change the subject.
"So that's how it is; I was wondering why no assassins had popped up during this period."
Tang Zheng showed a look of realization.
"So, can we exchange for that set of assassin equipment?" Lakyus glanced at Enri, who was sitting on the edge.
Seeing Tina said in a voice that was neither loud nor soft: "Boss, you finally remembered the main business."
This sentence made Lakyus show a trace of embarrassment.
Enri was a bit stiff, subconsciously clutching the assassin's magic items on her body; these were things given to her by the Lord.
"That is our spoils of war."
Tang Zheng glanced at Enri and shook his head: "Sorry, I refuse."
Lakyus was stunned for a moment; she felt that she should have experienced the feeling Princess Renner had when she was rejected just now.
It clearly looked like he was easy to talk to, but in reality, he was not easy to talk to at all.
"Really."
Evileye stood up from the sofa, her black-patterned mask facing Tang Zheng: "Adventurers should indeed talk in the way of adventurers, spoils of war, right?"
"Then let's have a fight; if we win, then it will be our spoils of war."
"Eh?" Lakyus was stunned.
Gagaran and the others also looked completely unexpected; they didn't expect Evileye, who had always been indifferent to everything, to make such a move.
Just at this time.
Dang! Dang!
With two knocks on the door, the door was pushed open directly.
Two figures walked in from outside the door. Princess Renner, sitting on the sofa, narrowed her beautiful eyes and stood up at the first moment, a respectful look appearing on her face.
"Two older brothers." Princess Renner bowed and spoke.
The sturdy and burly First Prince and the fat Second Prince both wore smiles on their faces at the same time.
"It looks like it's very lively here, Renner."
Second Prince Zanac stood behind the First Prince, the corners of his mouth raised.
