After Urinen left the State Guesthouse, he took his luxury carriage in the wind and snow and went straight to the Klimt Palace to meet the little empress of Tsarist Russia, Elisabeth Serena.
"Her Majesty the Queen, Duke Urinen, the royal minister, is asking for an audience outside the palace."
Serena was looking through the parchment in her hand when she heard Nina's voice and replied without raising her head.
"Well! Just invite the boss in."
"yes."
After two cups of tea, Urinen followed Serena's personal maid Nina into the steaming palace.
Looking at Serena who was leaning over the desk and silently flipping through the parchments, Urinen took off the brown bearskin cloak behind him and bowed: "Your Majesty, Urineen, comes to see you."
"Sir, you don't need to be so polite, just sit down."
"Thank you, my emperor."
"Nina, hurry up and prepare two bowls of hot soup to bring over to ward off the cold."
"Yes, queen, please wait a moment. I'll be back as soon as I can."
Serena put aside the parchment full of words in her hand, turned the quill in her hand with her delicate fingers, and looked curiously at the imperial minister Urinen sitting opposite.
"Sir, have you met Liu Chengfeng, the chief envoy of the Great Dragon Kingdom?"
Wu Lining nodded without hesitation: "Back to our emperor, I have indeed met Liu Chengfeng, the chief envoy of the Dalong Kingdom, and some important generals in the Dalong Mission.
Not long ago, after the old minister and Count Gogolov settled them in the State Guesthouse, they immediately rushed back to see our Emperor. "
The white quill almost looked like flowers in Serena's hand. After a moment of thoughtful silence, Serena nodded silently.
"That's very good. So, sir, can you tell me from their mouths the situation of the tens of thousands of captured soldiers in Tsarist Russia?
How are they doing in Dalong Kingdom now? Is it possible for my emperor to redeem them from the Great Dragon Kingdom? "
Urinen felt Serena's eyes staring at him expectantly, and shook his head with a wry smile, the look of regret on his face was self-evident.
Seeing this, Serena's light blue pupils showed a look of astonishment: "What's going on? Could there be something wrong?"
"Queen, Lord Wu Lining, your hot soup is here, please use it slowly."
Urinen took the hot soup and put it in front of him: "We have Miss Laonina."
"My emperor, I went to the State Guesthouse as planned to receive the delegation from the Dalong Kingdom. After seeing them...
This is probably what happened in the State Guesthouse.
Liu Chengfeng, the chief military officer of the Great Dragon Kingdom, is roughly the same age as my emperor. He is just a young and powerful young man, but his intelligence should not be underestimated.
If the old minister hadn't had the same idea as him and had been on guard, but had actually fought with a group of officials from the Dalong Kingdom over wine, he would have suffered a heavy loss in the end. "
After listening to Urinen's elaboration, Serena's eyes showed no blame, but the disappointment mixed with them was extremely obvious.
"Sir, don't blame yourself. The failure of this matter was not due to you, but because Liu Chengfeng was too cunning.
Since we can't get the information that the emperor wants this time, we can only wait until we meet the many envoys of Dalong's mission and think of another way. "
"Thank you, His Majesty, for your understanding."
Serena picked up the hot soup and tasted it briefly, then picked up the parchment she had put aside and handed it to Urinen.
"Sir, you just said that you saw with your own eyes the extraordinary momentum of Dalong Kingdom's troops and horses in the State Guesthouse, and I felt a little surprised in my heart.
Maybe the emperor and the ministers really mistakenly blamed the Slavic Dukes. Take a look at the content on the parchment. "
"This is?"
"When I met Song Yang, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Great Dragon Kingdom, at the palace, I found that there were some inconsistencies in the translation of the content of the Great Dragon Kingdom's credential by Yefus, as if he was deliberately concealing something.
However, I don’t understand Dalong writing at all, so I had to pretend that I didn’t see anything.
After they left, the emperor asked Nina to take Dalong's credentials to the Government Affairs Council and ask if any of the Turkic soldiers left behind by the Turkic Khan Spismult could understand Dalong's Chinese language. figure.
As expected, many of the more than two thousand Turks who stayed in our royal city can speak Chinese, and many of them understand Dalong script.
After their translation, the emperor's guess was indeed correct. As expected, Yefus did not translate the contents of the Great Dragon Kingdom's credential truthfully when translating it.
The content on the parchment is the true meaning of the Great Dragon Kingdom's national book. Sir, please take a look first. "
Urine nodded clearly, immediately took the parchment handed over by Serena, held it in front of his eyes, and carefully examined the contents.
After a long time, Wu Lining put down the parchment in his hand with a complicated expression, and looked at Serena with a little dissatisfaction in his old eyes.
"This...this...the Emperor of the Great Dragon Kingdom is too strong, isn't it?
It says that if we can't be friends of the Great Dragon Kingdom, then we can only be enemies. Doesn't this force us to agree to their diplomatic behavior?
This is completely a commanding tone towards our Tsarist Russia. "
Serena's light blue eyes narrowed slightly, her slightly childish and beautiful face showing a hint of frustration, she turned the gemstone ring on her finger and sighed.
"Although His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Dragon Kingdom has a very strong tone, it is actually not as bad as we thought. At least there is a premise in the content of the Great Dragon Kingdom's credential.
The meaning of Emperor Dalong is very clear, that is, if we are not friends with the Dalong Kingdom, our soldiers and horses of Tsarist Russia will not be allowed to cross the border of their Dalong Kingdom without the permission of their Dalong Kingdom. Otherwise, Dalong The country will send troops to conquer Russia.
This is a pretty clear boundary. "
After listening to Serena's explanation, Urinen hurriedly picked up the parchment scroll at hand and looked at it.
"Old minister, I was negligent. There is indeed such a premise in Emperor Dalong's words. But this premise is a bit too contemptuous of our Tsarist Russia, isn't it?
If you don't set foot in their Great Dragon Kingdom, you will be safe. Once you do, it will be a disaster that will destroy our country.
This is exactly how a young and strong man treats a newborn baby, as if their Great Dragon Kingdom can easily destroy our Tsarist Russia.
Is our Tsarist Russia so unbearable in the eyes of their Emperor of the Great Dragon Kingdom? After all, our Tsarist Russia is also the most powerful country among the surrounding countries.
This is simply a naked humiliation! "
Serena looked at Urinen's indignant reaction, her light blue eyes flashing with complicated meanings.
"Is it humiliating? I don't think so."
"Right, my emperor, you also think that this Great Dragon Emperor is a bit bullying... huh?"
Serena looked at Urinen's stunned expression, picked up a piece of exquisite rice paper with patterns and placed it in front of Urinen.
Wu Lining picked up the rice paper in front of him with doubtful eyes, and looked at the artillery pattern on the rice paper with confusion in his eyes.
"My Emperor, may I ask what is painted on this?"
"Big Dragon Cannon."
"Big Dragon Cannon?"
"Yes, the artillery of the Great Dragon Kingdom. The emperor has sent people to investigate. Whether it is the Slavs who returned to our country from the capital of the Great Dragon Kingdom after the defeat, or they fled to our desert from the hands of the soldiers and horses of the Great Dragon Kingdom many years ago. The Russian Turks have mentioned the term "dragon artillery" more than once in their mouths.
Although I don’t know what the dragon’s artillery they told me about, I can see from the faces of the Slavs and those Turks, their panicked reactions when they mentioned the dragon’s artillery.
Apparently this so-called Dragon Artillery left an indelible impression on them on the battlefield, so much so that they instinctively felt fear when they just mentioned the name of the artillery.
The emperor sent people to carefully inquire about the Slavs and the Turks, and the result was that the artillery of the Great Dragon Kingdom was very powerful. It seemed to be invincible and could not be competed by human beings.
Afterwards, the emperor asked them to draw the appearance of the artillery, which is what we see now. "
Wu Lining glanced at the fire incident on the rice paper again in surprise, stroked his beard and sighed.
"I think this pattern looks like a piece of wood with a thin top and a thick bottom! How can it make so many people frightened and uneasy?"
