Chapter 1837

"Speaking of which, how long are we going to stay in Green Lake City? The negotiation meeting this week has been intermittent. The newspaper didn't give the recent schedule, and I see Galina hasn't attended the meeting as often as before. Isn't the church deciding to let the delegation leave here so they can fully deal with the Green Lake matter?" Xia De asked, and the Duchess nodded:

"The church's arrangements have already begun.

Tomorrow night, a grand banquet will be held in this manor. Everyone participating in this negotiation, including the representatives of Carson Rick, will come to attend. Afterwards, I will invite Margaret Anjou to stay overnight. The day after tomorrow, which is Saturday, she and I will appear to experience a major 'accident' together, forcing the negotiations to be unable to continue. I have already received the plan here. Xia De, remember to come to the banquet tomorrow. In addition, if I encounter an accident, don't take action to rescue me; these are all arranged."

After speaking, she was worried that Xia De didn't understand:

"The day after tomorrow, I will take a carriage with Margaret Anjou from Rose Manor to the City Hall. At that time, there will be a large number of citizens watching along the way. When I reach out from the window to say hello, someone will shoot a shot."

"Why is this scene so familiar... Oh, last summer."

The girls in the room all laughed. Last summer, Queen Diana encountered a similar assassination, and Xia De, who ran for several streets, blocked the fatal bullet for her. "Inviting Margaret together is because neither country hopes that a war will really break out because of this. Encountering an assassination together can minimize the attribution of the matter to a third party, rather than the Gray Gloves of Qiu Bin Rick planning the incident."

Lei Qianya explained. As for why it is Te Anjou and not someone else, Galina of course understands. That Duke of Qiu Bin Rick was shot last week and cannot attend the banquet now. As for Qiu Bin Nan Te's brother, Miss Carson doesn't want to share a carriage with men other than Qiu Bin at all, so this matter naturally falls to Qiu Bin Nan Te.

"No problem, I'll do it. If I don't do it, someone else will come to do it. I could actually hear the wind a while ago. Both countries intend to end the negotiations. After they sort out the situation at the current stage, they will choose other places to talk. This is something that cannot be stopped, but I didn't expect that such an aggressive method would be used."

"Remember when we first came here, you had a conflict with several Xia De Rick people and were even kicked out by the tavern owner just now. At that time, there were people from both countries here;"

"I'll do it. I will inform the contact person according to the method in the letter after I have arranged the time and place... I can also be considered to have participated in the progress of history."

"Captain 'Four Guns' Green Lake is one of the few ordinary friends the outsider knows in this world, but he is also a truly upright person. If he is allowed to execute this plan, not only may he have to bear the infamy in the future, but once the fire is opened, all subsequent casualties can be considered to be caused by him."

Lei Qianya wanted to continue to explain for Qiu Bin, but thought about it and signaled Ajelina to speak:

"Give me some time, let me consider it."

"Galina, tell your officer friend that as long as he can exchange fire with the Xia De Rick army according to the arrangement, no matter what happens later, he will be transferred from the border line of Margaret. As for the subsequent promotion of military rank and transfer to a better defense zone, there will naturally be no problem."

The Duchess nodded:

"Is that captain just an ordinary person?" "What is his military rank? Is he reliable?"

"So, it is best to find a trustworthy officer on the front line. After all, if this matter is found out later, it will inevitably damage the reputation of the royal family. But if it is not through formal channels to transfer troops, but let the local patrol team exchange fire with the Xia De Rick side themselves..."

He handed the "autograph letter" of Miss Qiu Bin to the captain. The captain touched the paper of the envelope, and his confused expression became serious. He looked up at Galina cautiously, and after Galina nodded slightly, he tore open the wax seal and took out the letter.

Later, when we came here for the second time, the emblem of Delarian had already been hung up. The boss lady's attitude toward you became very enthusiastic, and the Xia De Rick people became much fewer;

"Then what are you doing?"

By now, I couldn't see any Xia De Rick merchants passing through the village just now. In this tavern, there were no more southerners."

Qiu Bin showed a smile:

Captain Green Lake's resume is quite rich. Last spring, he was captured by Xia De Rick because of a relic. After meeting you in the summer, you took away that relic at the Lake View Manor banquet, and he also regained his confidence because of this. After catching the human traffickers, he was transferred to the Red Water Camp in the West Carl Mountains. In the autumn, he participated in the Battle of the West Carl Mountains there, cooperated with the church team, fought against those ghosts and undead, and made meritorious service again. Although he failed to be promoted during the award season at the beginning of the year, he was transferred to the border line of Pantanal after the year-end festival, and only recently transferred to the Qiu Bin Nan Te area."

Even during the day, the light in the tavern was a bit dim. The white candle used for lighting on the table was getting shorter bit by bit, and the wax tears slipped down drop by drop, forming a layer of wax oil at the bottom of the candlestick. The captain read it carefully by the candlelight, his brows frowned bit by bit, and his eyes became more and more serious.

"Safety first, you know the seriousness of this matter." "We are already in the progress of history, no one can escape."

"Don't make a decision first, you look at this."

The speed of the topic change was a bit fast, and Captain Green Lake opposite the table put down the wine glass in his hand and was a little confused:

The captain didn't realize what Galina wanted to say, only thinking it was something like a transit document.

Since this kind of small matter was said by herself, of course she wouldn't go back on her word afterwards. Qiu Bin then agreed. It's just that whether Captain Green Lake is willing to take on this task still needs to be asked by Galina himself.

Captain Green Lake nodded slowly, but his brows were still tightly frowned:

Miss Carson asked suddenly, and after Galina nodded, she continued to inquire:

"Galina, I remember you said that you have friends in the military camp on the border line?"

Not only Miss Qiu Bin and Lei Qianya, but even Ajelina, who didn't contact military affairs much, felt surprised by this resume:

"Actually... burning it clean is already very safe." The captain nodded cautiously:

"Yes, you don't do cross-border trade, and I am a professional soldier. Since we are talking about soldiers, Captain, I have a small matter here. I don't know if you are willing to do it."

"It is indeed very tricky. I didn't expect you to bring this kind of task. If I am not careful, I may become a sinner who triggers a full-scale war."

In the end, the captain looked up and said softly:

After he finished reading, he handed the letter back to Galina. Galina brought the letter paper close to the candle, ignited it, and threw it into the empty bowl requested from the boss lady in advance.

"Small matter? Of course I am willing to help."

The captain fiddled with the Delarian emblem hanging on the wall:

"It's not just us here. I heard that the voice in the country opposing Qiu Bin Rick is also very loud. This year's trade situation between the two countries will definitely be greatly affected... Fortunately, I don't do cross-border trade."

Reputation and the lives of the soldiers under his command, at this moment, were placed together with his own future and the fate of the kingdom. Although the weight of the chips is not consistent, this is still not a decision that can be made easily, so Galina is willing to give him time to think.

Qiu Bin smiled:

So at 10:00 AM that day, Galina came to the tavern in Crossroads Village again and sat down in the tavern with Captain Green Lake. During the day, soldiers in the army are of course not allowed to enter the tavern, and are not allowed to drink, but this regulation does not have much restraint on officers. Captain Green Lake regarded Galina as his best friend. Since Galina came to visit, he naturally wouldn't shirk.

"Captain, very reliable, currently the deputy battalion commander of the Crossroads military camp.

The captain stared at the burning candle, and Qiu Bin could see his struggle.

Galina explained. Of course, he couldn't say that this was all because of the church. Of course, because the negotiations in Qiu Bin Nan Te had not made progress for a long time, in fact, the two kings might not have had the intention to actively suspend the negotiations.

There were not many guests in the tavern at this time. After the enthusiastic tavern boss lady brought the drinks for the two, Galina talked to the captain for a few sentences first:

"Yes, just an ordinary person. His will is very firm, and he is a good person. When Queen Diana was assassinated last summer, I was catching criminals who kidnapped children with him. Then I was shot, and he caught the criminal. I was knighted, and the matter of him being captured by Xia De Rick was also written off."

"There is no way not to be aggressive. The conflicts between Delarians and Xia De Rick people that have broken out on the north and south banks of Margaret City recently, you can also know. What's more, there is someone in the dark who is planning to assassinate the representatives of the two countries' negotiation groups. If we continue to talk, we will eventually go to war here. Therefore, it is better for the two countries to have a tacit understanding, and after a short conflict, each will stop."

"Detective, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Don't look at me being so tangled just now, in fact, I am also happy in my heart, finally being able to seize a further opportunity before retiring. This is a good thing and a bad thing. I know this is your trust in me."

"That's good. Since you said he can be completely trusted, I will trouble you to help me send a letter to him in a while. After I and Qiu Bin Nan Te Anjou encounter an assassination, the teams of the two countries on the border line will have a controllable large-scale battle. Qiu Bin Rick also has this tacit understanding, so that both sides can use 'everyone needs to calm down and avoid expanding the conflict' as an excuse to really stop the negotiations."

Captain Green Lake picked up the wine glass again and toasted Galina:

Miss Qiu Bin nodded again, feeling satisfied with Ajelina's reaction:

Neither of them spoke, watching the letter paper curl in the flames in the bowl until it was burned to ashes. Then, Galina took out a water bottle and poured water into it, and after fully stirring the burned ashes, he actually drank the whole bowl of ashes in one go in front of Captain Green Lake's surprised expression.

Galina shook his head:
