Chapter 862 The first meeting with the emperor
Although she didn't know how Alicia learned about the Manchu and Han banquets, Lin Feiyun finally refused the blonde girl's quarrel without hesitation with the reason of keeping everything simple during the war. She calmly arranged her life to inform the emperor Gongsun Yi while taking the guests to an ordinary tavern in the city.
Occasionally, a few buildings in the East Continent style can be seen on the Western Continent style, while in Baoqing City you can also see a few buildings in the Western Continent style - and both are retro styles.
The shooting team of Rocklips naturally turned around and turned the camera and kept busy. The other friends looked around and looked around and were dazzled. Only Alicia seemed to be unwilling to give up and decisively pulled Icarus beside her and pushed her to Lin Feiyun, leaning out from behind the Queen of Sky and poking her head out, "Old man, have you seen it? We have a fresh and tender angel here. If you don't treat her well and just plan to fool her with some cheap local dishes, you will be punished by God."
"This god's belly is too small, right?" Lin Feiyun said angrily, laughing and crying, "How deeply do you have to be obsessed with a luxurious meal?"
Alixia immediately folded her hands and placed them near her jaw, closed her eyes and made countless little stars around her body, making a yearning look: "Because the dishes in the East Continent taste very delicious, I finally came to visit the locals as an envoy, of course I had to take the opportunity to make them bleed and treat them... I mean, sincerely accepting the other party's kindness to fulfill the friendship of the landlord."
I have seen a thick-skinned person, but never seen a thick-skinned person, not to mention that such a beautiful girl is naturally beautiful and unparalleled. Looking at the surrounding Alicia, she turned her face and looked at the nearby scenery and made her companions who didn't know her. Lin Feiyun couldn't help but feel messy in the gust of wind. After a long time, she rubbed her slightly painful forehead and said: "Sorry, the landlords' family has no surplus food in this chaotic world. You will just fill your stomach casually."
[I'll let me go. The old man Lin Feiyun is determined not to prepare any large banquet for us. Well, although I feel a little regretful, it doesn't matter. At worst, Ilya will learn various cooking techniques from the Eastern Continent during this period and let him cook for me after he goes back.]
Have you finally changed from a arrogant and black-bellied girl to a foodie-like girl who has been guided!?
Ilia, who was pulling Michelle and looking around with her, suddenly shivered for no reason. At first, the black-haired boy thought it was a little changeable Alixia, who saw the intimacy between him and Michelle, and was glaring at him angrily, but he soon discovered that although the blonde girl was secretly looking back at him, she did not look angry at all.
On the contrary, she raised her mouth slightly and showed her cute little tiger teeth. It is undeniable that Alicia's move looked really cute. Siggs, who was not far away, even her eyes turned red. However, the black-haired boy who had been dating the girl for so long knew very well that every time when this girl stared at someone with such a cute expression, she was definitely 100% trying to figure out how to plot against the other party.
Ilia didn't mind being plotted against or madly fooled by Alicia. Because the girl's pranks are all harmless little jokes, which can only cause the other party to suffer a little. Moreover, whenever she plays too much, she will always apologize to the other party in time. If the partner is a teenager, Alicia might even take the initiative to give some benefits and be cute.
The black-haired boy was not worried about this at all. It was not until the little queen kicked him into the chef's royal kitchen that cooked for Gongsun Yi and made him learn from his master...
Of course, Ilya didn't know about this now. After a short rest after lunch, the boy followed Alysia and walked towards the temporary palace in Baoqing City under the leadership of Lin Feiyun.
"Hey, I didn't expect that the emperor of the Ming Empire would be on the front line." When I heard Lin Feiyun's introduction and reminder, Alixiya tilted her head a little unexpectedly, "The ruler should do what he should do by commanding thousands of troops in the rear to plan a thousand miles away. Is it really okay to run to the battlefield in person?"
"That, in fact, the demon's previous offensive was very rapid. After the fall of the capital, His Majesty retreated all the way to this place under the escort of the army." Lin Feiyun explained seriously. Then he looked at the strange scene in front of him in a fierce and confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
Everyone who was staring at the unconscious little queen with extremely contemptuous eyes immediately put on a look of squinting before Alicia, who was full of question marks, realized that she looked unsteadily, and looked at Lin Feiyun with a cold sweat while showing a thoughtful expression.
However, the old general asked nothing and continued to introduce: "Your Majesty actually organized a research team to set up a teleportation array to contact the Western Continent. However, we never expected that the demon would launch a large-scale attack so quickly. The experiment could not be carried out under the unfavorable conditions, and in the end it was left alone. However, everyone in the Western Continent locked the coordinates of the Eastern Continent through previous experiments and established a space gate. This is really God's will."
"Yes, fate is not on the side of the demon, so we still have a chance." Alicia casually wiped the ends of her hair and said seriously, "Zorlivan will not be conquered by the demon. Those bat wings will eventually be expelled by us!"
Here comes again, this extremely powerful but without any aggressive feeling as if he wants to rule the world. Is this girl... a member of the royal family of a country in the Western Continental Alliance? Lin Feiyun glanced at Aliceado, then turned around and pointed to the luxurious courtyard building in front of him and changed the topic: "Okay, we are here. In front is Your Majesty's temporary palace, but there can only be three people to meet later. Please decide for yourself. The rest are waiting in the room near the main entrance. Also, please do not walk around the courtyard at will."
"Well, this is a necessary security measure, I can understand." Alicia nodded and said indifferently, "As it happens, Icarus and the senior sister of the Poison Island, you two follow me to meet the emperor of the Ming Empire."
Queen of the Sky is an image character that concerns face, and among the remaining group of unreliable friends who have a personality that is off-line, only Saeko Mushima is considered a normal person. Although Imris can also be counted, the lethality brought by the appearance of these sisters at the same time is huge. There are countless people along the way, ministers and even guards are fascinated by them. If Gongsun Yi also follows the footsteps of these people, suddenly turns against each other and intends to capture the two sisters and lock them up in the deep palace...
Who dares to assert that this is impossible? Although it really happens, Rocklip will definitely fall into a state of rampage immediately. The man blocks and kills people. The Buddha blocks and kills Buddha stages an emotional drama of brother saving his sister.
As for Yuchi Mu, when Alixiya looked at him just now, she shook her head lightly. Therefore, the little queen did not think about him anymore.
Lin Feiyun arranged for people to take the God of Creation and others to the guest room at the door, and he led Alicea to the backyard.
I don't know which rich man this house belongs to. When the demon army approached, its owner fled with his family and property. So the Ming army, who retreated to this place, requisitioned it as Gongsun Yi's temporary palace. After passing through the garden where small bridges, flowing water and rockery strange rocks, Lin Feiyun brought the three cute girls into a hall that seemed to be used to receive guests and gather family members for festivals or meetings.
Gongsun Yi and more than a dozen ministers standing on both sides were already waiting there.
The house in the house is the familiar glazed brick and tile building of Alicia, and the tables and chairs in the hall are also familiar sandalwood. Although kerosene street lamps were seen on the street outside, the house was kept in the house with classic red candles and copper candlesticks; there were many ink paintings and words hanging on the walls. On the bracket placed behind the middle-aged uncle in the main robe, there were several exquisite continuous fire guns, which made the whole room more heroic than elegant.
"Your Majesty, Lin Feiyun has brought the representatives of the Western Continent." Perhaps because of some kind of license, the old general did not bow to Gongsun Yi, but respectfully bowed his head and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, come here to sit down." Gongsun Yi raised his hand and gestured. Then he decisively placed his eyes on Icarus. Although Alicia was standing in front of Queen of Sky and Saeko Mushima, she was blocked by Lin Feiyun due to her height. Gongsun Yi didn't see it. She said excitedly, "It's indeed a real angel. The one who defeated the demon siege yesterday was your highness, right? Thank you so much. In addition, did the gods return to Zhuollivan?"
A girl who felt so sweet that she was in her throat suddenly rang behind Lin Feiyun, who was about to raise her feet: "The chicken wings have indeed returned, but their purpose is not to help us defeat the demons."
Who dared to be so brave that he called the gods a chicken wing!? And he was still a girl. Gongsun Yi and his ministers were stunned for a while. Even Lin Feiyun, who had already known Alicia's personality, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
After Lin Feiyun, who came back to his senses in time, moved away and gave the girl behind him out, the whole hall became quiet instantly.
There is no doubt that the girl in front of her is definitely a treasure that the Creator God accidentally left in the world, and any gorgeous words will become overshadowed in front of her. In this way, under the stunning gaze of everyone, Alicia raised her lips lightly, and gracefully carried the skirt and bowed to Gongsun Yi slightly and said, "For the first time we met, the respected Emperor of the Ming Empire of the East Continent. Her name is Alicia Harris, and she is the captain of a team called "Thorn Rose" among the many adventurers sent by the West Continent this time."
Icarus is an angel, and she would give her face as soon as she nodded; Saeko Mushima knelt on one knee in accordance with the etiquette of the Western Continent, so there was no problem. However, this beautiful girl only gave a meeting ceremony lightly even though she knew that Gongsun Yi was the emperor. It was a bit unreasonable, right?
However, the girl acted very naturally, so that a minister who liked to gossip and find trouble the most did not dare to speak up. Because his instinct was warning himself that the girl in front of him was definitely a big shot on par with Gongsun Yi, and was definitely not an existence he could afford.
When Gongsun Yi saw Alixiya, she was shocked. When she heard that she was just the captain of an adventure team, she had the idea of keeping her. However, the blonde girl's calm and calm appearance then woke the emperor up. After all, an ordinary civilian girl could never have such temperament and cultivation.
What's more, there was an angel inside, but she was still standing at the front of the three-person team. Isn't this telling the problem?
"Thank you for a long journey, girls." Gongsun Yi calmed down and coughed hard, making his subordinates stunned ministers all escape from the petrification state. "Come here, show our beautiful guests."
After Alicia and her party sat down on the wooden chair, the emperor formally asked: "Although I really want to say some polite words and scenes to welcome you, I believe you are very clear about the current situation of the war, so let's talk less. May I ask, what kind of help can the Western Continent forces you represent provide us?"
[Do you go straight to the point? Why do you feel that it seems a little different from what Yuchi Mu said?]
Alicia didn't have a long time to wonder, and immediately pinched the hair in her ear and replied seriously: "I believe Mr. Lin has already made a report on us for you, so that's fine. In fact, the help we can provide is quite limited, because the main forces of the alliance are all trapped in the Tyranmire continent. The adventurers sent this time can basically be regarded as armed civilians. However, they are all people with practical combat experience with monsters. After several battles, they will become reliable combat power. However, this is the home court of the Ming Empire. At most, we will support it. We still have to rely on you on the main battlefield."
"That's natural." Gongsun Yi nodded immediately and said, "You all in the Western Continent can come to support me in view of the fact that the Communist Party of Zhuolliwen compatriots. I am grateful for this. But the demons are powerful now. I think it is better to stick to the opportunity first. It is better to do this. I will tell you the combat power in Baoqing City, and you will tell me the combat power sent by the alliance. The two sides will formulate plans based on the total combat power. How about starting a counterattack after the preparation is completed?"
Strangely, something seems to be a little wrong here? Alicia quietly tilted her head quietly, and then said, "Yeah. This time we sent a total of about 30,000 adventurers and 50 magic-powered armored vehicles; in addition, there are Icarus and a cute little black dragon. Before the adventurers form combat power, Icarus and the black dragon can be used to put pressure on the demons."
Although she was still lucky enough to get a seat, Saeko Mushima, who lowered her head slightly and showed a meditative expression when she heard this, because as far as she knew, the alliance was dispatched more combat power than this. What was Alicea preventing deliberately hiding her strength?
Gongsun Yi showed a satisfied expression: "Well, overall, it is also a powerful force that can affect the situation of the war. So, there are about 200,000 troops in Baoqing City, of which 30,000 are equipped with advanced muskets; in addition, there are hundreds of artillery. The fleet on the nearby river is not a decoration; there are more than 200 steam-powered armored chariots in the city. To be honest, there is no problem with these combat powers defending the city, but you can go out of the city to counterattack or something..."
"That would be very lingering." The blonde girl nodded and agreed, "I understand. Since Icarus is here, let us leave the matter of reconnaissance of the demon army in the air. After we figure out the general scale and composition of the enemy army, we will discuss specific combat plans. Before that, we will first focus on guarding our respective strongholds."
"I agree." Gongsun Yi looked very happy and said while the heat was hot, "In addition, Miss Harris, about the alliance between the Ming Empire and the Alliance..."
"It's too early to form an alliance now." Alixiya, who felt more and more strange, shook her head lightly and refused, "You must know that what the alliance sent was not an army, but a group of volunteers. It does not mean that the alliance itself. The formal establishment of diplomatic relations will be made until the overall situation of the Eastern Continent is controlled and improved."
The emperor did not seem to feel very sorry, and he slightly closed his body and leaned on the back of the chair and relaxed: "Sorry, I seem to be a little anxious. But at least please leave a way to contact you. It is not a reliable way to send envoys through the demon's camp to contact each other."
"Of course." Alixia said, taking out a crystal ball from the bracelet, which made everyone who thought it was an ordinary jewelry lit up. "This is a magic crystal ball used in the Western Continent that is very widely used in the Western Continent. I have set up another crystal ball to pair with it in the Adventurer's camp, and you can contact it as long as it is activated. In addition, although formal diplomatic relations cannot be established for the time being, there are many products unique to the Western Continent in our camp for adventurers to sell to adventurers. After repelling the nearby demon army, if the merchants of the Ming Empire are interested, they might as well bring their goods to take a look. I believe there should be a lot of gains."
"Do you have a certain understanding of each other through private transactions before establishing diplomatic relations?" Gongsun Yi stroked her jaw and pondered, "It's a very good suggestion, I accept it. Is there anything else?"
"No, Emperor." Alicia stood up gracefully and saluted with her skirt. "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule. If you don't mind, we will take our leave first."
"Miss Harris, it's okay to sit for a while. How about staying for supper?"
"I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend."
"Uh, that's a pity."
After saying goodbye to the slightly embarrassed Gongsun Yi, Alicia took Icarus and Saeko Mushima slowly left the hall.
