Facing Jiang Lu's vague answer, the two of them had obviously become accustomed to it.
It was like this before in [Infinite Prison]. Jiang Lu always acted alone and didn't know what to do.
The two of them were curious before, but this time after getting to know the spiritual realm in depth, they no longer cared much.
Maybe he hooked up with another woman?
So as soon as they sat down in the seat behind Jiang Lu, the two started talking in whispers.
"I think it was the maid from yesterday. When she was pouring wine for Jiang Bao, I saw that her eyes were going to be stringy."
Heavy Artillery said firmly.
"You are wrong." The Ghost Faced Fox shook his head: "With a queen like Dectel by his side, do you think he can still eat an ordinary maid?"
"Then who do you think it is?" Heavy Artillery asked: "Anyway, let's exclude Dectel. She has been meeting with various Connaught ministers today."
"Hmm... Wouldn't it be too bold if I guessed it was Maeve?" the ghost-faced fox asked tentatively.
"That is indeed a bit bold." Chongpao snickered and said with a bit of malice: "But you have made such a bold guess, so let me make a guess too. What do you think it is the princess?"
"Then you are not bold." Ghost Faced Fox couldn't help being amused: "That is Cu Chulainn's fiancée. Isn't this something that we can point out for the rest of our lives from the highest moral point?"
"Haha, I can laugh at him forever."
Heavy artillery suppressed laughter until his face was distorted, and the ghost-faced fox naturally started laughing too.
But when he smiled, he stopped laughing.
"Huh? What's wrong with you?"
Heavy Artillery noticed the increasingly serious Ghost Faced Fox, turned his head in confusion, and then stopped smiling.
I saw Princess Connaught standing in front of Jiang Lu at some point, lying on his table in an enchanting posture. She was as charming as she wanted. She was completely different from the pure and polite Princess Connaught a day ago. Two people.
Cu Chulainn, on the other hand, just kept his head down and drank, turning a blind eye to all this.
As for Jiang Lu, he wore an awkward yet polite smile and kept trying to make Princess Connaught pay attention to the influence.
"Notice the impact? What impact?"
Heavy Pao turned around and asked the Ghost Faced Fox.
"How do I know?" The ghost-faced fox gritted his teeth: "Is it true that I guessed it right for you?"
Chongpao was stunned: "No...no way...I was just talking nonsense."
As soon as the ghost-faced fox opened his mouth and was about to say something, he heard the host of the banquet, Queen Maeve, begin her opening remarks.
"Welcome everyone to my engagement party."
"Whose engagement party?" Chongpao looked confused again.
"I told you I don't know! Wait a minute, could it be..."
Just as puzzled as the two were the guests present.
"Isn't it the engagement party between Cu Chulainn and the princess...how..."
"Yeah...I never heard that Queen Maeve is getting married..."
Princess Connaught subconsciously shouted: "Mother! You said it wrong. How could it be your engagement party?"
Jiang Lu's expression also changed: "This is different from what was promised! It's bad...it's been tricked!"
At this time, Maeve showed a condescending smile to Jiang Lu, as if to say: Boy, didn't you expect that?
Then, she announced to everyone: "That's right, what will be held today is not my daughter Vanderbilt, but me, Maeve, and the great prime minister from Ulster, Jiang Ge!"
Princess of Connaught:?
"Who?"
Dectel was stunned for a moment, then started to snap:
"I disagree!"
"Why don't you agree? As far as I know, your son Cu Chulainn has no love for my daughter. To be honest, I don't want my daughter to have a failed marriage."
Maeve said plausibly:
"Besides, even if he changes his mind, the matter between her and my daughter can be dealt with later.
As for the alliance, of course it remains the same. "
"No, I'm not referring to this. The matter between my son and your daughter is not important at all!" Dectel said anxiously.
Cu Chulainn:?
"Then what do you mean?" Maeve was confused.
She didn't know what the relationship between Jiang Lu and Dectel was, and she completely believed Jiang Lu's rhetoric, saying that he was just Cu Chulainn's adoptive father and had nothing to do with Dectel, so she couldn't understand it. Shouldn't Dectel be grateful for a Prime Minister in exchange for a powerful ally like Connaught?
It was unclear whether Maeve was going to let go, so Dectel also risked his life: "He is my chosen queen!"
"Jiang Ge." Hearing this, Maeve turned her head coldly: "Didn't you tell me that you are only Cu Chulainn's adoptive father in name? Just like Fergus, what is going on now?"
Seeing this, Jiang Lu could only spread his hands helplessly: "Now that things have happened, it seems that I no longer need to hide it. In fact, I also have my own reasons."
"The reason?"
Maeve and Dectel stared at him with equally questioning eyes.
It seems that if Jiang Lu can't give a reasonable explanation, they will kill him.
But Jiang Lu didn't panic at all. He just thought about it for a moment, and a perfect set of rhetoric was already formed in his mind.
"I am a peace-loving person and do not want to see war. Therefore, I want to rely on my own strength to promote peace between the two countries!"
"You call this promoting peace?" Dectel said angrily.
"That's what I think." Jiang Lu analyzed calmly: "The queens of two countries serve the same husband together. As time goes by, you will definitely become like sisters. By then, the two countries will naturally become as close as one family.
And as long as the alliance between the two countries is unbreakable, other kingdoms will naturally not have any evil intentions, and then the world will naturally be peaceful. "
"But you can't..." Dectel was still complaining, but his tone was obviously much softer.
As for Maeve, she even thought about it seriously.
"I think... we can give it a try."
"What about me?" Princess Connaught, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
"you?"
Maeve thought about it for a while, but felt that she still couldn't refuse her beloved daughter. In addition, she just cheated her once, and she couldn't bear it. After hesitating for a while, she finally nodded helplessly:
"But you can only wait until your Aunt Dectel and I are tired."
"Okay!" Princess Connaught agreed easily, because she knew Uncle Jiang Ge's strength and there was no way he would be tired.
Seeing this, Dectel was thoughtful. In the end, for some unknown reason, perhaps because he didn't want to be compared, he also set his sights on his only heir, Cu Chulainn.
Cú Chulainn, who had been sitting on pins and needles for a long time, was now even more embarrassed and ashamed.
He waved his hand and said with a complicated expression: "Mother, you can play, I will not participate..."
Chapter 217 Waiting for Jiang Ge
With Jiang Lu's intervention, the world successfully ushered in peace.
In order to commemorate Jiang Lu's great achievements, on a flat-topped mountain in the heart of Ulster and Connaught, craftsmen from both countries jointly built a pure gold sculpture of a brave man for him, and its name was -
Defender of peace!
Dectel and Maeve didn't know whether he defended peace or not. They only knew that their peace defender was able to spray every day.
The composition of the sculpture is also very interesting.
Jiang Lu stood in the middle, one hand pointing to the sky and one hand around Dektel, while Maeve hugged him on the other side. The Princess of Connaught looked up in the direction he was pointing, as if she was a believer who had been guided. As for Cu Chulainn... the one squatting on the side was him.
"So why am I carved to look like a dog?"
Cu Chulainn asked with a dark face.
"Didn't Cu Chulainn mean Cu Lan's fierce dog?" Jiang Lu asked doubtfully: "I thought you liked being a dog, so you specifically asked the craftsmen to do this. Why, you are not satisfied?"
"I..."
As soon as Cu Chulainn opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Dectel and taught him a lesson: "You can't always ask your father to do this or that. You should always be grateful."
"no..."
Cu Chulainn sighed heavily: "Forget it, let's do this."
"It seems that everyone is very satisfied." Jiang Lu waved his hand and said, "Then this place will be open to the outside world as a tourist attraction. Those who want to visit will be charged 21.59 gold coins each. With the consumption voucher, they can get the opportunity to meet me. What do you think?"
"Yes." In contrast, Maeve was still cold and cold.
Dectel also nodded in agreement: "It's all up to you."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Jiang Lu planned to return to the court with his teacher.
And just when he returned to the Ulster Palace where it was his turn to live this week, Jiang Lu heard the good news brought by the ghost-faced fox.
"The curse is complete!"
"So fast?" Jiang Lu was a little surprised.
In just half a month, unexpectedly, the whole of Ulster has been completely freed from the shackles of the curse.
This is of course due to Addison, who is eager to make contributions.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. On the one hand, he really wants to complete the tasks assigned by Jiang Lu as soon as possible to express himself and stabilize his position. On the other hand, he also wants to take this opportunity to establish his authority and let those who previously despised him. People no longer dare to think of him as just an old man with a job.
Therefore, what he does is called vigorous and resolute.
First of all, the message was passed to the whole of Ulster. Anyone with a curse must arrive at the designated curse removal point within the specified time to receive and use the Conchierb potion.
If you don't respond to the call within the stipulated time, I'm sorry.
No matter where your tribe is, or how long you have been isolated from the world, as long as you can check the household registration in Ulster, or even just hear people around you say that there is such a person, Addison will personally lead the people, like a god He broke into other people's homes like soldiers descending from heaven and forced the potion into their mouths.
This is naturally a bit scary in the eyes of those who have experienced it personally.
A group of heavily armed soldiers from the main city broke into the door with a very violent method, and then an old man walked into the dark room through the smoke and dust, his tone of voice was vicious and terrifying.
