Give Me the Name of God

The next day, Marquis Selin continued to hold a banquet, and Manda decided to expand the topic. In addition to great friendship, she also wanted to talk about some serious things.

"Wilkins has captured Parrot City and is raiding the surrounding towns. I believe you have heard about this."

Selin sighed softly and said: "Wilkins is a kind man. Although I don't agree with what he did in Parrot City, it was for those poor refugees after all, so I don't think this matter is right." It will affect my friendship with him."

Manda said: "But according to the current situation, I'm worried that the war will soon spread to Turbulence City."

Marquis Selin shook his head and smiled: "I know there are some misunderstandings between you and Wilkins. This misunderstanding also makes me feel very embarrassed. You are all my friends. I cherish your friendship very much. If I can resolve it, If there is any conflict between them, I will spare no effort to provide all help..."

Manda said no more. No matter what he said, the result would be the same. Marquis Selin just wanted to drag Gildan down to the end.

After talking like this for three whole days, Manda received an invitation.

The Marquis of Celine was going to tour his territory on New Year's Eve and invited Count Monchik to go with him.

Manda didn't care much about the etiquette between nobles, but that didn't mean he couldn't understand the underlying message. This was not an invitation, but an order to exclude guests.

Inspecting the territory is an important task for the lord, and it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to participate in this kind of thing. The Marquis's meaning is very clear: I have serious things to do, and it's almost time for you to leave.

Normally, Manda really wouldn't mind going on a shameless trip with the Marquis, but now he also has a lot of things to do, so he simply took his leave by walking down the slope.

Before leaving, Manda had one more request. He wanted to buy some food.

"You know, the war in Qixing Mountain has never stopped. My people are starving, and military rations are also somewhat tight. I need your help."

Marquis Sailin smiled and did not respond directly, but mentioned another matter: "I have also received a lot of news about this war. There are even rumors that General Larn Pigu has occupied Qixing Mountain. I I’ve been worried that you won’t receive my letters.”

After three days of idle talk, Sailin finally said something serious. The carrier pigeon only knew how to deliver letters to Qixing Mountain. Since Manda could receive the letter, it proved that Qixing Mountain had not been lost yet.

I really underestimated this Marquis. With just one letter, he was able to find out important information about the war.

It's really hard to explain this matter, but Manda doesn't intend to explain too much. Talking about Jill's eggs is not a patent of Marquis Serin, and Manda also has a lot of experience.

"Although the war is raging, it cannot stop the friendship between us." Manda showed an expressive smile.

Sailin smiled bitterly. This sentence was obviously imitating his style, a style that was worthless but not harmful to the amiability. He didn't continue to ask. He didn't want to form an alliance with Manda, and naturally he didn't expect to get valuable information from Manda. He just wanted to give Manda a warning - I've been watching you, don't look for me again. trouble.

But Manda ignored the warning and continued to ask about the price of food.

Sailin waved his hand and said: "Say this kind of thing is hurting the friendship. Frequent wars have also had a big impact on Turmoil City. Our food is not abundant, but I promised that I will provide you with I will give you the help I can, fifty thousand pounds of grain, and even if I have to save my people, I will still help you get through the difficulties."

Manda was stunned, and he was impressed by Marquis Sailin's emotional intelligence.

What Marquis Sailin means is: You want to buy grain, but I don’t have any extra grain to sell to you. Out of friendship, I will simply give you some. To sum up in an idiom, this is called benevolence and justice.

Manda sincerely admires Manda for being able to draw the boundaries so clearly without tearing her face, and using such sophisticated methods.

It's just that the figure of fifty thousand pounds is a bit humiliating to Manda. Manda is actually not short of food. Even if it is really short of food, this little food will not solve the problem.

This was also intentional by Marquis Sailin. If Manda still had a little sense of shame, he should leave angrily at this time and never have any contact with him again.

But he also underestimated Manda's face. Manda not only accepted the food, but also thanked Marquis Sailin profusely, took the food, and set off with great fanfare.

Fifty thousand pounds of grain was loaded into thirty oxcarts and left Turbulence City with Manda.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, Manu was about to use his skills to drill into the mountain. Manda waved his hand and said, "Let's continue along the road. Let's go to Wisteria County."

Che Erdan puzzled and asked: "What are you going to do there? It's a big circle."

"Yes, we have to go around in a big circle," Manda said with a smile, "Send the food to Ziteng County, and then allocate a batch of food from Qixing Mountain to each small town. We need to make a big splash and tell everyone , this is the friendship between me and Marquis Serin!"

After seeing Monchik off, Marquis Selin continued to hold banquets and spent his days leisurely in wine, singing and dancing. In order to avoid suspicion, he wrote a letter and reported the incident to Bucken, but he never dreamed that a disaster was coming towards him.

…

In the cathedral of the royal capital, Bucken threw a letter into the fire.

He was in an extremely bad mood. More than ten days ago, he secretly led his troops to Smoky Stone County, preparing to kill Count Carreon of Smoky Stone, General Longson and the traitor Leo in one fell swoop.

But he didn't expect that Longgesen took action first and intercepted his army halfway. After a fierce battle, Bucken returned with a great defeat, losing more than 3,000 soldiers.

Lungerson's military abilities still frightened Bucken. What made Bucken even more anxious was that the battle took place in the territory of Archduke Denke, but Denke turned a blind eye. He took a laissez-faire attitude towards Lungerson's behavior and was most likely even the behind-the-scenes supporter of this matter.

Bucken, who had retreated to the royal capital, had not yet gotten over the shadow of defeat, but received another bad news. Larn Pigu sent a letter, which mentioned that Marquis Selin of Turbulence City had given Monchik a large amount of money. food.

"Is the news true?" Bucken still didn't want to believe that Marquis Selin, who had always been prudent and protective, would support Krejci Monchik at this time.

Amado handed over a letter and said: "This is a personal letter sent by Marquis Selin via a carrier pigeon. Monchik did go to Turbulence City and took some food with him."

In the letter, Marquis Celine's tone was as usual, speaking only three points.

He mentioned the purpose of Monchik coming to Turbulence City, and also mentioned his attitude towards Monchik, but he did not describe too many details. He only said that he gave Monchik a small amount of food, but did not write anything. Specific quantity.

It is a kind of wisdom to speak in three points, but it depends on the occasion.

Of course, Marquis Selin was not the kind of person who ignored the occasion. He knew that the clearer the description of this matter, the better. He originally described the incident in detail in his letter, but no one could have imagined that this letter had been tampered with by Manda. Pass.

"I trust him too much," Bucken gritted his teeth. "Send him a letter immediately and tell him to cut off all contact with Monchik!"

Amado asked: "Do you want a gentle reminder, or..."

"It's not a reminder, it's a warning!" Bucken shouted angrily, "If I hear similar news again, Turbulence City will be punished by the Lord!"
