Chapter 1099 Promise
[Thank you Brother Xiang, Mr. Hitting the Wall, manianLB, Su in the Flame of War and other brothers for the monthly ticket rewards! The title of this chapter is quite appropriate, hey~]
In the afternoon of the next day, Alan followed Julian into the Triumph Palace. The Triumph Palace looked much quieter today, the afternoon sun left brilliant golden spots in the palace, and the radiant ground reflected the figures of Allen and the others. The epic murals on the dome are still majestic, but there is a hideous head on the east wall of the palace.
Absolutely.
The royal alchemist has already carried out the necessary treatment on Jueying's head, making it still look lifelike, especially after using some mysterious material to brighten the three eyeballs of the magic wolf, Jueying seems to come alive, making People feel that this demon wolf will break through the wall at any time.
Tangleo was standing aside, watching the wolf's head hang on the wall with his own ears, and making adjustments according to his wishes. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the emperor turned his head and smiled and said, "You guys are here, look at this guy. You know, when I was young, I went up the mountain to look for Jueying, but unfortunately I didn't meet him, otherwise there would be nothing wrong with you little guys .”
Julian smiled and said, "It's a pity that it met Earl Allen."
"But fortunately, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to hang this guy's head in the Triumph Palace." Tangleo gestured to Julian: "Go to the vault to receive your reward, good boy, I want to share with Ai Lord Lun to say a few words alone."
"As you wish." Julian patted Allen on the shoulder quietly, then bowed back, turned and left the Triumph Palace.
Tangleo looked at Jueying's head and said: "This guy is agile enough and powerful enough. It is simply a perfect beast, and it is even more of a work of art."
Alan didn't know what the emperor was going to say to him, so he didn't dare to answer casually. Tanglio didn't care either, and continued to look at Jueying and said, "In Jueying's lair, when Howson fought the wolf, where were you?"
"It's nearby, Your Majesty." Allen said frankly.
"You are honest, so tell me, why didn't you participate in the war?"
Allen said indifferently: "His Royal Highness Hao Sen wants to use me to find out the location of Jueying, and even wants us to fight with Jueying and then get a bargain. It's a pity that I saw it through in advance, so I made a small plan to let Jueying encountered His Highness, and we waited for the opportunity to act. Thanks to Your Highness, Jueying was completely attracted by their attention, and I was able to kill them easily."
"Earl Allen really has a plan, but because of this, I lost a few elite soldiers in the army!" Tanglio said in a deep voice, with a hint of punishment in his tone.
Allen looked at the emperor: "But the eldest prince is back.
"
Tangleo turned around, his eyes were as sharp as a sword, and he stabbed at Allen. The latter lowered his head slightly, but remained motionless. After a while, the emperor said: "You know, if you didn't kill Jueying in the end, then you don't have to come back. Jueying's lair is your grave!"
Allen said decisively: "This kind of thing will never happen, at least not in front of my eyes."
"Oh?"
"Even if the imperial lord cannot die under a conspiracy, the prince is naturally even more so. Although I serve His Royal Highness Julian, it is not necessary to put His Royal Highness Howson to death just because of this."
Tangliou nodded, his tone slowed down, and said: "It is natural for the crown prince to fight extremely cruelly. But if for this reason, the prince can do harm at will, then it has crossed my bottom line! You have done a good job, both Helping Julian win the first place in the Spring Hunting and saving Howson's life is also considered loyal to the royal family. I never treat loyal people badly, so Earl Allen, no matter what Julian rewards you. Here, I give Another chance for you to reward, you can make any request. Of course, I will not agree to anything that is too much."
Before coming here, Julian had hinted that the emperor would give him extra rewards, so Allen was not surprised. And also thought about what to want. Hearing what Tanglio said at this moment, he was not polite, and said respectfully: "I would like to implore Your Highness, keep Longqiang Town, and return the Gaocang people to their homes."
Tangliou obviously didn't expect Allen to make such a request. He was stunned and asked: "Dragon Gun Town? Gao Cang Clan? I think about it, oh, I remember, they once resisted at the beginning of the empire. Didn’t they submit to the empire later? I remember that their gun casting skills are not bad.”
"That's right, it's them. I happened to pass by Dragonlance Town, and I heard that the local lord, Marquis Pierre, wanted to expropriate their land and ordered Dragonlance Town to move to another place. But the Gao Cang people have lived there for generations, and they don't want to leave their hometown. They had people from my clan come with me this time, but they didn't have the chance to meet His Majesty. I promised them that if they had the chance to meet His Majesty, I would raise this matter for them."
Tanglio looked at the young man in front of him: "So you plan to use my reward for this matter? Earl Allen, don't you think it's a waste?"
"Being able to return a town's residents to live in a worry-free home can prevent the elderly and children from being displaced, and there will be no waste."
"Okay, I promise you this matter. If the Marquis of Pierre really has such thoughts, I will let him dispel the idea. However, the promise to the Gaocang clan was made by my ancestors, and it is also my responsibility as a king. .It is my obligation to give them a home, not yours. So this is not included in the reward, you should think about it differently."
Back to Alan's embarrassment, he said awkwardly: "Then can your Majesty owe you first, I can't think of anything for the time being."
Tanglio laughed loudly when he heard the words, pointed at Allen and shook his head and said: "I have never owed anyone anything, well, you are the first one. Earl Allen, you can come to the palace at any time if you think about it someday Find me."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Coming out of the Triumph Palace, Allen was in a good mood. After arriving in the imperial capital, everything was busy, and I could count the number of times I saw Tangleo on my five fingers, and I never had a chance to bring up the issue of Dragon Spear Town to him. Now I finally took the opportunity of this private conversation to propose to the emperor and got Tanglio's promise. This finally fulfilled his promise to the Gao Cang Clan. When he brought the news back, Palo and the others were very happy, and the big Hulk even danced the ancient tribe dance on the spot.
"Master Alan, it's really thanks to you this time, otherwise we wouldn't know what to do. Dragon Gun Town owes you a huge favor, tell me, how should we repay it!" Palo grabbed Alan hands excitedly.
Allen shook his head and said, "Don't say that, just think of me as compensation for the disaster caused by the ice wind."
But at this moment, Edward's voice sounded: "Wait, I don't agree with your decision, Lord Alan." The Maritan came over with a smile, looked at Palo and said, "I think Dragon Spear Town owes you a lot of money." It’s better for us alone, at least, Mr. Palo and the mayor should not refuse to let our trade route pass through the town.”
Palo didn't react for a while: "What business route?"
Allen knew everything, looked at Edward and said, "Are you going to use Dragonlance Town as a supply point on the commercial road, and at the same time use the so-called secret place to bypass the devil's throat and shorten the distance?"
