The fat man asked Templeton to go to Scotton to inquire about the news.
According to his analysis, the fact that Sigdon dared to appear openly in Marseille and behaved so forcefully in the Palace Square must have received support from within the Suriel regime in addition to external support from McCann and other countries.
Chief Assistant Minister Gammil, this person who is more powerful than Suril alone and more than ten thousand people, must be the first target for Sigton to fight for.
Based on Gammiel's completely different attitude towards the mediation team and Ruhrs, and his title of "Prince" to Scotton, Fatty can basically conclude that Gammiel has completely moved towards Scotton's camp.
According to what Fatty said, after Sigdon talks with Capricorn Tong, no matter what the outcome is, he will definitely go to Ganmil to discuss it first.
So Templera went straight to Gammier's mansion.
How he hoped that he would not see Scotton here, that childhood playmate who had been an irresistible friend, that brother who once protected the same girl together.
Prince Scott's car was parked steadily outside the residence of the Chief Minister.
Templeton let out a long sigh and called to see him.
"I wonder what the major general's sudden visit is about? The situation in Suriel is complicated now. Envoys from many countries are in Mase, including many masters. Shouldn't the major general focus on the palace at this moment to protect the safety of our queen? "Gammil asked with a smile in the living room.
Glancing at Skelton, who was sitting on the side with a gloomy expression, Templeton said: "The palace has been guarded by guards, like an iron barrel. The queen's own strength is at its peak, and her master is also here, so there must be no security. Question. I took the liberty of visiting to ask you for two things!"
"In that case! I can rest assured! If the general has something to do, it's okay to just say it!" Ganmil said with a smile.
"First, I want to ask for advice from the Chief Auxiliary. Chief Serov of Ruhr and his entourage have now been treated. How should their affairs be handled? Should they be invited to attend the banquet tonight? Second, Prince Sgerton Wu Zhao left the fiefdom without permission and entered the capital. He even violated the ban and injured people in the palace. He also privately attacked the team of envoys from neighboring countries, causing heavy losses. How should this matter be handled?" Dempla asked directly.
Based on his status, he should have stood up and saluted Ganmil before asking questions, but he seemed to be used to "sitting and talking".
Seeing Templer's "rude" behavior, Gammier frowned at first, and then relaxed.
He laughed loudly and said something that shocked Dempla: "The two things you asked about are actually the same thing in my opinion. The general may not know that Queen Capricorn Eyes has been on the throne since she inherited the throne. , has long been exhausted and exhausted. She mentioned to me dozens of days ago that she wanted to abdicate the throne to His Highness Scotton.
Therefore, a secret edict was issued, inviting His Highness to come to Masek to discuss the matter. "
"The Queen wants to abdicate and appoint Sigdon as the new king. How is this possible?!" Templeton was so shocked by Gammel's words that his face suddenly changed.
Seeing Major General Su Lier's unbelievable expression, Ganmil felt extremely happy. The success of his decades-long wish was imminent, everything was basically a foregone conclusion, and there was no need to hold back and keep secrets.
"Just now, the Queen and Her Highness have reached a consensus and will announce the matter at tonight's banquet. However, His Highness has other plans. He intends to end the monarchy and transform Suriel into a republic. No, he He is the one who came to me to discuss this matter." Ganmir Shiran continued.
"Why is there no news about such a big event before? How can it be so hasty to change the state system?" Templeton, who had just managed to control his emotions, couldn't help but ask.
Ganmill's smile became even brighter: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Major General Templeton grew up playing with His Highness and the Queen since he was a child, and he knows the relationship between his brother and sister best. The Queen gave way to her brother when she was mentally and physically exhausted. , such a choice is normal. As for whether the change of state system is hasty, I think it is not a bad idea to cut the knot quickly. I am there for domestic affairs, and your father is here for the military. As for diplomacy, since the mediation team is here, it is up to them to do it A testimony.”
"You mean my father? Does he know about this?" Templeton suddenly stood up and left his seat, and asked in a deep voice.
"The direction of Suriel's military is controlled by the 'Iron Triangle', and your father is the leader of the three. How could you not know about such a big event? You might as well go back and ask. In addition, please pass a message for me, please invite him to the banquet tonight. Be sure to attend!" Ganmil's tone turned cold and he said slowly.
"It seems that my father has been involved in this matter, but he didn't reveal any information to me. What the hell is going on?!" Temple was so upset that he couldn't stay any longer, so he bowed and left.
"If those Serov guys are still in the mood to attend the banquet, you might as well save a seat for them. As for other things, we can wait until tonight to talk about it. You remind them not to make extraneous matters. After all, this is not Ruhr, and they can't help it. What a fool. Go ahead!" Ganmil added lightly.
After saying that, he didn't wait for Temple to leave, rolled up his sleeves, and went back to the back hall.
Dempla walked out of the residence of the Chief Minister in a daze, and footsteps followed him from behind.
"Jin Hu! If you still recognize me as your younger brother, then obey God's will in everything! I promise, as long as I am here, no matter how Su Lier's political situation changes in the future, your family will always be protected and will stand firm!" Si Ge! Suddenly's voice came.
"It's rare that you still remember this name. However, my brother 'Ju Feng' is not the current His Royal Highness Prince Scott! As for those wishes, it is better to tell my father after you ascend the throne!" Deng Pula didn't look back. After speaking in a deep voice, he jumped on his horse and roared away with his men.
Temple's retreating figure gradually disappeared at the end of the cloudy street.
Scott sighed softly, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Why, are you still thinking about those things from your childhood?" In the back hall of the residence of the Prime Minister, Gammill asked the gloomy Scotton while drinking tea.
"At that time, we were all young and carefree, and we even gave ourselves nicknames. Deng Pula was the eldest brother, nicknamed 'Golden Tiger'. I was the second brother, nicknamed 'Ju Feng'. And Tong Tong was the youngest, and She has a talent for fire, so we called her 'Fire Eyes'. She even made a fuss about it several times, thinking it didn't sound like a girl's name." Sigdon said softly as he remembered the past, his eyes full of nostalgia. .
"Hmph! You are now responsible for Su Lier's future. Every move you make, including what you think in your heart, is related to the well-being of tens of millions of people. It's better not to think about these little children!" Ganmil said coldly, his tone There is absolutely no respect for a prince.
"Father! Is Tongtong's mother really a spy planted by Luers around Lao Wang? Is the evidence really conclusive for this matter?" Scotton suddenly asked.
"Crack!" A thunder exploded at just this moment, causing the bricks and tiles on the roof to make a soft sound.
Outside, it was raining heavily.
"This house has to be banned! After you take power, I will build another mansion!" Gammill did not answer Scotton, but looked at the roof and said slowly.
"Father! Please tell me the truth, otherwise..." Scotton frowned and asked.
"Otherwise? What else?" Hearing this, Ganmil turned his gaze to Sigton, his eyes filled with a cold light.
"Otherwise? Otherwise, I won't sit on this throne!" Sigdon looked back without hesitation and shouted in protest.
"Snapped"! Gammil suddenly took action, and with a lightning-fast palm, he struck Scotton in the face, sending him flying away.
At this time, where is there a trace of calmness and gentleness in Gamir?
His hands were shaking slightly and his face was ferocious. He ignored Sigton who was lying on the ground with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. Instead, he turned around suddenly and pulled open the curtain on the back wall.
A strange and eerie scene appeared.
Behind the curtain, a woman wearing a green funeral dress, with a noble appearance and her eyes closed, sat in the middle.
On the altar table in front of her, there are all kinds of candlesticks, incense burners, oil lamps, fruit snacks and other items for sacrifice.
If there are any older ministers here, they will be able to recognize at a glance that this woman is the late King and Queen Suriel, who was also Sigdon’s biological mother.
However, this woman is not a statue or a doll, but a real dead person.
It is the body of Scotton's mother.
I don’t know what method Gamil used to preserve the corpse very well. Except for its pale complexion, it looked like a living person.
There were only two oil lamps on the altar table, and the flickering flames made the woman's face look uncertain.
"Mother!" Scott screamed miserably, stumbled and fell in front of the altar table, sobbing.
"You still dare to say that you don't want to sit on this throne?! You should say this to her, the former Queen Suriel, your mother!" Gammil pointed at the corpse and yelled at Scotton.
"Your mother and I have known each other for a long time. Despite the age difference, she has always been in love with me. Later, due to family pressure, she became the queen. However, since she entered the palace, has she ever been happy for a day? Until She and I have you, and she has a glimmer of hope! She would rather give up her true love to stay with that cruel and incomprehensible king, and endure it for many years. Do you know what she is doing for?!" Gammil's voice It was miserable, and all the red hair on his head stood up.
"What she does is for the glory of the family, for the power that is looked up to by thousands of people!" Gammill said, pointing to Scotton who was kneeling on the ground, and continued: "But you are addicted to fighting with the enemy who killed your mother. How dare you say such a thing in the midst of your daughter's old love! Are you worthy of your father's hard work over the years, and worthy of the opportunity your mother gave you with her life?!"
Scott came in a cold sweat, trembling all over, and almost losing control of his emotions.
Ganmil yelled, the depression in his heart dissipated a lot, and his tone gradually softened.
"Son, don't blame your father for being cruel. Do you know? I left your mother's body, which has not been buried for five years, just to let her watch you climb to the top. Now that we have chosen this path, we can no longer retreat. Half a step. So, do you think it matters whether Capricorn Tong’s mother is really a spy? You have always cared about her. After you finish this matter, you can change her identity and marry her into the family. Anyway, you have no clue. Blood relationship. At that time, do you still have to explain the past things to her? Many times, it is better not to know the truth! "
Scott listened silently, with tears still on his face, but his expression gradually became numb.
Ganmil sighed softly, and then said: "Capricorn Tong's life is already under my control. At the banquet tonight, her life or death will be decided by you. Talk to your mother here! Don't forget Yes. You will go to see Wilson to discuss the details in a while. I will also go to make some arrangements to prevent the master from having any evil intentions."
After that, he gently closed the door and left.
Sigdon looked at his mother's pale face, and tears rolled down his face again.
Where to go, sometimes, it’s just a matter of thought!
He didn't notice at all. At this moment, a red figure quietly flew away from the roof of the back hall. After a few seconds, he disappeared into the increasingly dense rain.
Templer returned home in a hurry and rushed into his father's study before he could change out of his armor and clothes that were soaked by heavy rain and cold sweat.
A powerful old man with a silver beard, holding a gleaming dagger in his hand, was lost in thought.
He is Dempla's father, Marshal Hassan, the leader of the Suril military.
He and the other two deputy commanders are collectively known as the "Iron Triangle". Their disciples and former officials are spread across all levels of the military, and they are the actual controllers of Suriel's army.
There was a flash of white light, and the dagger in the old man's hand was thrown towards Temple's chest.
The sword came so fast that Templer couldn't dodge it, and he didn't dare to activate the barrier, so he had to jump out.
"Return!" The white light flashed again, and the dagger stopped its movement as if it had a spirit, and flew back to the old man's hand!
"Hmph! As a major general, you also have the responsibility of guarding the palace. How can you act so recklessly?!" the old man shouted.
"Father! It's indeed my fault! Please forgive me, son!" Templeton stood outside the door and saluted respectfully.
Without waiting for the old commander's reply, he continued: "As you said, since I have the responsibility of guarding the palace, I should do my duty. However, I have to figure out whether I am protecting the queen, the prince, or the chief minister. Is that okay? Regarding this matter, I hope the marshal can clear up my doubts!"
Hassan refused to let Dempla in, and just stared at his son standing outside the door.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "What you protect is the true successor of the Suriel Kingdom, the royal family's orthodoxy, and the dignity of the royal family! It is also the glory of our family!"
Temple's heart sank.
There was a mystery behind his father's words, and he obviously meant something.
Filled with righteous indignation, he no longer cared about etiquette, stepped into the door, and said: "Queen Capricorn inherited the throne according to the decree of the late king. Isn't this the true successor? Isn't it royal orthodoxy? If she succumbs to foreign powerful forces and covets Power confuses right and wrong, regardless of the Queen's safety or Suriel's future. Then, how can we talk about the dignity of the royal family? How can we have the nerve to mention the glory of the family?!"
These words were loud and impassioned.
The emotions that Dumpra had been pent up in his heart for many days completely burst out.
"Are you teaching me a lesson?" Marshal Hassan was furious when he heard this.
White light protruded from the old commander's body, and a dagger stabbed Templera again.
The major general no longer dodge this time. In anger, he also took the risk.
I saw Temple's protective barrier opening instantly, blocking the dagger.
At the same time, he punched forward with both fists, and the energy formed by his concentration hit the old coach's chest in the shape of a fist.
The old commander did not use a barrier, but only used one arm to block the attack, and forcefully received both fists.
He made a sword move with his other hand, and under control of the dagger, he slashed at the major general's shoulder and neck.
Temple pulled his hand back, it turned into gold instantly, and he grabbed the dagger in his hand.
The old commander was not surprised but overjoyed. The sword technique changed, and another sword was drawn from the tail of the dagger, slashing towards the major general's waist like a shooting star chasing the moon.
Deng Pula was slightly shocked and thought that this turned out to be a mother-and-son sword.
He didn't panic, his other hand suddenly turned into gold, and he took the sword in his hand.
The old commander was very happy when he saw that his son had finally fallen into the trap.
He changed his sword technique again, and several small swords were drawn out from the dagger that had just been captured, and they slashed at the major general from different angles.
At this moment, several gaps were opened in Temple's barrier, and the small swords circled and flew like intelligence, and penetrated into the gaps.
The major general had no choice but to retract the barrier, holding two swords in both hands, flying up and down to block the rain of swords.
The old commander laughed, and the fatal sword technique changed again.
Those small swords instantly turned into hair-like needles, densely clustered and hovering a foot away from Temple's body.
The major general had no choice but to stop, his expression was still very ugly!
"Take it!" the old commander shouted. No matter whether the big sword, the small sword or the ox-hair sword flew back to the original sword body, what Templera held in his hand was still a dagger with a faint light.
"Boy, that's good. You've made some progress! I thought you could only take two moves from me!" the old man said proudly.
Seeing that his son didn't say a word, he didn't let go of his dagger, he just stood there with a shameful expression.
The old commander snorted and said, "It's still the same thing. You have a different status now. You must not be rash when making judgments. Before, Ganmil told me that Capricorn Tong was not the flesh and blood of the previous king. He said that her mother was pregnant when she entered the palace. . This was originally a ruthless plan by Ruhrs to change the situation."
Seeing his son looking at him with shock on his face, the old commander felt uncomfortable.
He paused for a moment and said decisively: "I have no shady dealings with Ganmir. I and the other two old guys agree that we will only support royal orthodoxy. That's it!"
Only then did Temple realize that he had misunderstood his father.
His face turned red, he bowed deeply to the old commander and said, "I wrongly blamed you! I..."
"Okay! Stop talking so much nonsense! Something big is bound to happen at tonight's banquet! You have to cheer up! Just keep this little thing for fun! Be careful not to cut yourself! As for the name, just Call it 'Father, Son, Grandfather and Sun Sword'!" The old commander was very satisfied with the name of his sword and said with a smile.
Realizing his father's love for his son, Temple's nose felt sour, but he suppressed it and asked in a low voice: "Father, did Gammier say where did the news come from?"
The old commander looked at the rain and fog outside the window, pondered for a moment and then whispered: "He said that this news came from the Queen herself!"
