So, under Addison's confused gaze, Jiang Lu told him what had just happened.
Of course, the hidden relationship between Dectel and Conchieber was omitted, and it was only emphasized that Conchieuber betrayed Ulster for his own selfish desires and did not lift the curse for everyone.
This also made Addison's already vague thoughts become even more confusing.
Even at his age and having seen many strange things, he was still shocked.
"Then what about the king..." Addison paused, then changed the topic: "What about Conchieber and the others?"
"Here." Jiang Lu pursed his lips and motioned Addison to look at the thing he was holding, which looked like a rag sack.
Except for his head, which was intact, Conchieber's whole body was burned extremely black, and his originally strong and tall body had also shrunk a lot.
If it wasn't specifically pointed out, it would be hard to tell that this was the same person.
"this..."
Looking at the tragic situation of Conchi Erb, Addison couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling, and his eyes flashed with a little fear.
It was only because Dectel was standing by his side that he felt a little more at ease and did not show any obvious fear.
He is also very wise, having been in the court for so many years, he also knows what to say and what not to say, and he also knows how to assess the situation.
After just a brief trance, he already understood what to do now.
No matter how cruel and prestigious Conchieber was in the past, that was all in the past.
Looking at his appearance now, even if he can still live in the rest of his life, he will be considered useless. And now standing in front of him is Dectel, who has a close personal relationship with her, and Conchie, who seems to have an extraordinary relationship with her. Bo became the Jiang Lu he is now.
Then the situation is very clear.
Even if it's not good, this will be your own opportunity.
An opportunity to move beyond the sinecure of Chief Bard!
So without any hesitation, Addison asked directly: "What do you need me to do?"
Such decisiveness surprised both Jiang Lu and Dectel.
Especially Dectel.
I thought Addison was just a dying, rigid old man who took everything as seriously as he took music, but he didn't expect that he would be so flexible at critical moments.
But this is exactly what he wants. After all, there is no time to slowly convince him now. Being able to respond like this really saves him a lot of trouble.
So Jiang Lu's attitude towards him couldn't help but change a lot.
At least be polite.
"Okay, old comrade is very aware." Jiang Lu nodded with a smile: "It's not a big deal, but now we need to repair the damage caused by divine punishment.
Although there are no casualties for the time being, a lot of houses are still damaged. The problem of people’s property losses needs to be counted as soon as possible and corresponding response plans must be made.
And as you can see from the current situation, he is definitely no longer suitable to continue to be the king, so from now on, there will only be one king, that is Queen Dektel, and you will also need to prepare for this matter.
The queen is usually relatively indifferent and doesn't know much about the affairs of the palace, but now she has no choice but to step forward.
And because she is familiar with you and knows your abilities and character, she has decided to let you be the new chief minister, so she will have to rely on you to pay more attention in the future.
It is an honor to share Queen Dektel's worries. I think you will not refuse, right?"
"Of course, of course." Addison was overjoyed.
The way he was nodding and hunching at this time could be said to be completely different from the way he was glaring at Jiang Lufeng's beard in the piano room a few days ago.
Facts have proved that there are no people in this world who don’t know how to be worldly. The only difference lies in whether the other person wants to engage in these worldly things with you.
"Although I am honored to have such an opportunity, but..." Addison hesitated, "I still want to ask, what about Cu Chulainn? Logically speaking, is he more suitable for this position?"
“Well…” Jiang Lu laughed: “Didn’t I just say that because of Conchieber’s fault, the entire Ulster was punished by God?
So he is in some trouble now because of this, but there is no danger for the time being.
Regarding the matter you mentioned, of course we still need to discuss it carefully with him. If everything goes well and the difficulties are over, he will naturally become the next king.
But no matter what, your place will not change. As long as you use the power you have accumulated in the palace over the years and do what I just told you, you will be fine. "
"Okay, okay, I understand." Addison finally felt relieved when he learned that his position was guaranteed.
Why couldn't he hear the hidden message hidden in Jiang Lu's words?
I'm having some troubles for now, so I need to discuss this...
In other words, Cu Chulainn is not aware of Dectel's rise to power now, and it has not yet been determined whether he can finally achieve the so-called logical conclusion.
Everything depends on the face of the young man in front of you.
Addison lost because he was born early, otherwise he could see that there was a person named Li Lianying standing behind Jiang Lu.
But again, Addison knows what to say and what not to say, and he is also very good at judging situations. He never asks about things that have nothing to do with him, which is commonly known as never meddling in other people's business.
Because of this, he was able to live to such a long age and have a reputation of high moral character and respect.
So he didn't talk much at all. After the negotiation was concluded, he just exchanged a few words with Dectel and then got busy doing the things Jiang Lu told him.
After sending Addison away, Dectel, accompanied by Jiang Lu, walked around the familiar yet unfamiliar palace where she grew up, her eyes full of emotion and reminiscence.
But this was a pain for Jiang Lu.
One hand dragged the harp around to relieve the hypnosis, and the other hand dragged Conchie Erb, like a Labrador unwilling to walk out of the house.
"Let's go meet Setante." Dectel, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped: "What you just said, he should be fooling Addison when he got into trouble, right? I think you were trying to prevent it from happening. Did he stop you from dealing with Conchieber and trap him on purpose? "
“Hmm…” Jiang Lu was stunned and began to stammer: “How can this be possible? Didn’t I say it was God’s punishment, God’s punishment?”
"Eh?" Dectel turned around and smiled half-heartedly: "What kind of divine punishment would happen to happen at this time?
Isn't it because you want to use this method to let the people point the finger at Conchieber?
No matter how prestigious he was in the past, if everyone's lives and property were threatened because of his mistakes, no one would be loyal to him anymore, right?
You are paving the way for me, aren't you? "
Dectel blinked: "I have to say that your strategy and courage are first-rate. You are worthy of being my man. You are really powerful."
Why did I actually think so?
Jiang Lu was a little shocked by his foresight.
Although his real idea was just to find a reason to kill this psychopathic little Nanniang...
Looking into Dectel's eyes again, Jiang Lu couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of the royal family, no matter how weak he appears, he is not really stupid after all.
After untying the knot in his heart, Dectel's IQ even improved a lot.
Although it was just Dihua, this kind of thinking was indeed something that Jiang Lu had never thought of. What was even more surprising was that even though she believed that this was the truth, she did not have any objections to Jiang Lu's approach. On the contrary, she was quite dissatisfied with it. Praise shows that her vision and structure are not comparable to ordinary people.
After all, in her eyes, the people may be nothing more than the property of Ulster, a special consumable.
From this point of view, she already has the status of a queen.
However, Jiang Lu didn't care about her cold-bloodedness in this regard.
First of all, it was because the eldest brother did not talk about the second brother, and he was not qualified to blame anyone for causing the "divine punishment".
Furthermore, no matter how cold her blood was, she was still warm when facing herself.
This is very comfortable.
So Jiang Lu pretended to be melancholy and smiled bitterly: "Did you also notice this? I hope you won't think that I am a very bad person because of this."
"How could it be?" Hearing Jiang Lu's admission, Dectel, who thought he had seen through everything and held Jiang Lu in his arms, couldn't help but chuckle, fell into his arms, and said coquettishly, as if he was weak and boneless: " It’s not too late for me to love you~”
Jiang Lu took advantage of the situation and squeezed Dectel's waist, eliciting a sweet cry.
"In that case, let's go meet Setante."
"Um..."
When the two arrived at the two-story building where Cu Chulainn was imprisoned, Cu Chulainn was trembling in the corner of the room.
Judging from the damage to the floor and ceiling, as well as the walls, it appeared that he had tried to escape the fire by destroying areas that had not been burned by the fire, but failed.
This is because after many uses, Jiang Lu has become very skilled in controlling the three flavors of real fire.
It seems that the three-flavored fire only surrounds a circle, but in fact it is hidden anywhere that cannot be seen by the naked eye, forming an airtight barrier.
The most bizarre thing is that the burning of the three-flavored true fire will not destroy the internal structure of the room, but only makes a certain place in the barrier become the source, and uses the fire source in contact with the source as fuel to supply the entire barrier, forming a closed loop.
Although it looked like the house was burning, what was actually being burned was the debris in an alley behind the house.
As a result, Cu Chulainn naturally had no way to escape, and even waiting for relief after the house was burned down was a luxury.
In stark contrast to the trembling Cú Chulainn, was Morrigan who looked calm and spoke plausibly.
She was standing outside the barrier, making unknown movements, pretending to be performing a mysterious ritual.
"What...is going on?" Dektail was very confused.
Jiang Lu put his hands behind his back and looked mature: "It's a bit difficult to trap him, so I used a higher-end divine punishment, which is more troublesome to remove and takes a day."
Cu Chulainn was about to urge Morrigan to hurry up again when he suddenly heard two familiar voices coming from outside the window.
As he mechanically turned his head, his expression gradually became frightened.
"mom?!"
Chapter 212 Great Perfection
"Mom?! How did you end up with him?!"
Cu Chulainn shouted in disbelief.
"Because we came together from the palace." Dectel replied.
Even though her relationship with Jiang Lu was irreversible, she still felt a little embarrassed to admit that she was in a relationship with a man so much younger in front of her son, so she chose to be vague. statement.
The top priority now is not to recognize her relatives, so she plans to solve the immediate problem first, and then let Cu Chulainn slowly accept this fact after a while.
But Cu Chulainn obviously did not agree with this statement.
"I'm not asking why you are together, I'm asking why you are together?!"
Cu Chulainn was so mad that he was incoherent:
