Chapter 700: Rehe Abnormality
Chapter 700: Rehe Abnormality
"clatter!"
With the crisp sound of a spoon hitting the table, the man who was flipping through documents at the table was startled and then cast a puzzled look at the attendant beside him.
"Where's my soup?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Seeing the blue-haired man's slightly dissatisfied look, the pale attendant couldn't help but kneel down with a plop, and explained in a panic:
"I...your servant...your soup was just here! I just turned around, and then...then it was gone!"
It just disappeared when you turned around?
After listening to the attendant's explanation, the burly man couldn't help but frowned, and roughly knew where the pot of beef soup had gone.
"Okay, I don't blame you."
After waving his hand to signal the attendant to stand up, the resolute blue-haired man picked up the silk handkerchief at hand, wiped the soup on his beard, and then ordered indifferently:
"Go down and get a new one. No, three! Three more of the eel stew and the cheese pot, and open fifty more cans of mackerel. Hurry up."
"Yes!"
Seeing that His Majesty Harvey did not blame him, the attendant couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then hurried down to the kitchen to ask for food. The blue-haired man threw down the silk handkerchief in his hand and stared at the old man in gorgeous clothes standing in front of his table.
"Sir Isaac."
After calling the old man's name, the blue-haired man wiped the soup off his beard, reached out and tapped the summary report on his desk, and asked with a slightly surprised look:
"You dare to hand this thing to me. Are you sure that I will not punish you because of your hard work and great contributions?"
? !
Hearing the blue-haired man's blunt question, the old man in fancy clothes' back stiffened slightly, and several turbid beads of sweat suddenly seeped out of his face which was covered with powder and blemishes.
"Your Majesty...I have really tried my best..."
Seeing the blue-haired man tapping his fingers on the table in dissatisfaction, the old man in fancy clothes, whose vest was already soaked with sweat, couldn't help but plead with trepidation:
"As soon as I received your order, I contacted the Engineering Department and checked almost all the pipe furnaces in Rehe City. However, all the pipe furnaces were operating normally and there was no excessive water pumping from the underground Rehe. The problem lies with the underground Rehe itself.
Afterwards, I asked my nephew to lead a team of 20 exploration teams into the underground hot river. After ten days of soaking and melting more than 900 sets of heat-insulating armor, we still couldn’t find the reason why the underground river was overheated this year. "
"Sir Isaac!"
After raising his voice to drown out the old man in fancy clothes, the blue-haired man spoke with an angry look on his face:
"You know, this is not what I want to hear! No matter how hard you work, it has nothing to do with the result I want!
I just want to see the reason for the abnormality of the river this year in your report! I want the result, not the process. As long as you can find the reason, I don’t care what specific means you use! "
"Your Majesty, I will continue to investigate and try my best..."
"Sir Isaac."
Interrupting the old man in fancy clothes again, the blue-haired man said with dissatisfaction:
"What I want is not to try my best, but to make sure! The foundation for the existence of this Rehe City is the hot water that is pumped up from the underground Rehe River and then sent to the entire city through pipes!
But now the water in the underground hot river is abnormally heating up. The temperature in the whole city is getting higher day by day. More and more pipe furnaces are damaged by water vapor. This is a big problem that may cause the destruction of the royal capital!
But with my full support, you submitted an investigation report, but the result was that you couldn't find the cause?"
After picking up the investigation report on the table and throwing it on the carpet in front of the old man in fancy clothes, the blue-haired man restrained his anger, stared at the old man in fancy clothes who was sweating profusely, and asked in an extremely cold voice:
"Sir Isaac, you don't really think that if something goes wrong, you, the Minister of Pipeline who knows nothing about the situation, can just resign and get away with it, right?" "Plop!"
Frightened by the blue-haired man's tone, the old man in fancy clothes, whose bow tie was soaked with sweat, fell to his knees on the spot. He almost half-prone on the carpet, and swore in a trembling voice that he must find out the cause. Then he was half-supported and half-dragged away by two attendants.
When the dragging sound in the corridor gradually faded away, another middle-aged man in plain clothes hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the documents in his hand.
"Your Majesty, the note from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been rejected. According to the verbal message from them, it seems that they don't want too many political factors to appear at the wedding, so they refuse entry to people above the level of Foreign Minister. What do you think..."
"Ah."
After looking through the documents on the table, the blue-haired man couldn't help but chuckle, and then commented indifferently:
“It’s just an excuse to delay time.
The Kingdom of Korok suffered a great disaster, and all its territory was flooded by the sea, which gave the cunning princess a great advantage. Now all she has to do is to digest the "legacy" of the Kingdom of Korok before other countries react.
So I even have reason to suspect that this so-called marriage is also one of her means of delaying time. After all, every week she delays, she can absorb a little more of the essence left by the Kingdom of Korok, and can give that rotten kingdom a little more life."
"Your Majesty is very insightful."
After speaking in praise at the right time, the middle-aged man in plain clothes bowed and said:
"Then in your opinion, should we continue to deploy troops on the border and conduct a few more large-scale exercises to force them to change their minds?"
"Of course!"
After looking up and glancing at him, the burly blue-haired man leaned back in his chair and said with a firm look on his face:
“Based on what I know about her, that woman who loves to play tricks will definitely not miss such a convenient opportunity as the wedding!
During the period when our envoys are banned from entering the country, she will definitely use the heritage of the Kingdom of Korok as bait to induce other nearby kingdoms to cooperate with her and join forces to strangle us!
Therefore, we should not only continue to deploy troops on the border, but we can even take the initiative to provoke and find ways to fight a few small-scale hot wars that can be controlled, forcing other forces in the other country to put pressure on her and force her to accept the envoy's entry! "
"Ok."
Nodding respectfully and taking note of the words of the King of the North, the middle-aged man in plain clothes tentatively said:
"Your Majesty, is the specific candidate for the envoy still Her Royal Highness Melisande?"
"Ah."
After hearing his sister's name, the blue-haired man's expression softened slightly, and then he replied in a gentle voice:
"Although Meili is not familiar with government affairs, her status is noble enough to represent me in reaching cooperation with other kingdoms. And there is no need to worry about her safety. She is the best candidate for the envoy... Where is my soup? Why hasn't it been delivered yet?"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
After hearing the blue-haired man's question, the waiter who had just run to the kitchen to ask for food, pushed an empty food cart and moved tremblingly from the door into the room.
"Gone... In your kitchen... now there are only a pile of empty basins, and even... even the cook is gone..."
"..."
(Fuck you)? !!!
