Chapter 728 The Third Fleet (Part 2)

When the prince's fleet arrived at Wangcheng Harbor. The king personally went to the port to meet them, which was a great honor to Prince Xiu Senya and his party.

The eldest prince Hailan, who was standing behind the king, saw it in his eyes, and the fire of jealousy burned in his heart.

Looking back at the surrounding situation, he suddenly saw his cronies winking at him, so he found an excuse and withdrew from the crowd.

"How is the matter going?" The eldest prince Hai Lancha asked impatiently in a low voice when he walked up to his confidants and servants.

"It's done, Earl Fikam promised to speak for His Highness, and the matter is very hopeful." The confidant and valet said with a happy face.

"Okay! Okay! If the matter is really done, you have made a contribution!" Upon hearing this, His Royal Highness Hai Lancha was overjoyed.

On the other side, the king has already met Prince Xiu Senya.

When father and son meet, it is natural that their emotions are revealed.

"My son, you have worked hard." The king and Prince Xiu Senya hugged each other. The king looked at his second son, and the more he looked at him, the more he felt that the war had indeed made him more brilliant: "Go, let's talk when we go back, I have already prepared for you. Alright, the dust-receiving banquet is here to celebrate your return from victory this time."

"Thank you, Father."

"Isn't it just a victory?" The eldest prince Hai Lancha, who was watching from the side, slandered secretly: "If you give me the fleet, I can do it too."

But. In front of everyone, he didn't dare to embarrass his younger brother at all, so he followed the team back to the palace very depressed.

In the palace, the banquet was very lively, many people came to celebrate Prince Xiu Senya, the eldest prince who was hiding in the corner watching all this had a very ugly face.

"Xu Senya, you really made a great contribution this time. I congratulate you." Finally, Hai Lancha, who couldn't bear it any longer, walked up to Prince Xiu Senya with a glass of wine, and said.

Several other people who were surrounding Prince Xiu Senya, seeing the situation, chose to leave silently and get involved in the palace infighting, which is not a good thing, they would not be so stupid.

Seeing that there were no outsiders beside him, Prince Xiu Senya smiled gracefully, while shaking the red liquid in the cup gently, he said to the eldest prince Hai Lancha: "Brother, thank you."

"You're welcome." The eldest prince Hai Lancha approached Prince Xiu Senya, almost whispering into his ear: "This is just a trivial matter.

Who wins and who loses is not certain, so don't be too complacent. "

"Brother, since this is the case, let's go and see." Prince Xiu Senya said with a flat expression: "Father is here, let's clink glasses."

Prince Xiu Senya raised his glass and said with a faint smile.

Following his gaze, the eldest prince also saw his father's figure, so a smile appeared on his face again, and he gently touched the cup in his hand.

The two brothers each drank the wine in their hands and looked at each other with smiles.

People who don't know the inside story must have thought that the pair of brothers were very friendly when they saw the smiling faces.

Seeing the king in the distance, he gradually thought about it in his heart, but his face did not show it, and he greeted everyone with the demeanor of a king.

Because this banquet is held for the second prince Xiu Senya and his party, the protagonists of the banquet are naturally Prince Xiu Senya and his party.

At the banquet, the king announced many rewards for the group led by Prince Xiu Senya, and praised them a lot.

Seeing the king's attitude towards Prince Xiuxenya, all the nobles who were close to Xiuxenya smiled. However, the nobles who were somewhat related to the eldest prince all turned black.

Only Earl Fakam, the king's first trusted minister, stood beside the king with a calm expression, as if he didn't care about it.

After the banquet was over, a group of people went out, only Earl Fakam walked at the end. While everyone was not paying attention, he sneaked to a remote place.

After a while, another person came over. He was of medium build and his appearance belonged to the general public. Seeing that there was no one around, he walked carefully to Earl Fikam and said in a low voice, "My lord, Your Highness Having said that, you have done a good job, and he will accept your favor."

"The Second Highness is such a smart person, even if I don't help him, he will find other ways." Earl Fakam said with a smile: "You tell the Second Highness, just say, it will be useful to me, Earl Fakam When the time comes, I will definitely not back down."

"Yes, Lord Earl, I will definitely bring your words with you." The man said happily, and Earl Fikam declared that he was on the side of the Second Highness by saying this.

The two whispered for a while and then left.

Waiting for the person who was connected with Earl Fikam to return to the palace of the Second Highness, Prince Xiu Senya, who had returned from the banquet, had already changed into his home clothes and was distributing gifts.

"You. Send this to Earl Kaxiute. You send this to Mrs. Ai Ruya's house..." Turning around, just in time to see this person come back, let the others go out first, Prince Xiu Senya asked lightly: "See you?" people?"

"Your Highness, I see you." The man hurriedly narrated what Earl Fikam had said, and Prince Xiu Senya nodded after listening.

"You did very well."

Walking back and forth in the room, Prince Xiu Senya had a faint mockery on his face. "Brother, don't you really think that the jewelry he sent touched Earl Fikam's heart? You don't usually pay attention to maintaining contacts. When it's time to use it, what's the use of sending money? However, this is not the case. Well, let him fulfill his wish once, so that he can relax a bit..."

Thinking of this, he turned his head and said to the confidant: "Go down and receive the reward. You did a good job this time. I will give you a credit."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" After that person went out, Prince Xiu Senya continued to call people in and assign gifts.

Almost everything has been dealt with. Prince Xiu Senya received the king's order to go to the hall quickly.

Prince Xiu Senya didn't dare to hesitate, put aside other matters in his hands for the time being, and rushed to the main hall soon.

When passing by the gate of the main hall, many guards were carrying large boxes and walking towards the inner warehouse.

Prince Xiu Senya knew that this was a gift he gave to his father and brought into the palace. Obviously, it was probably because of this that his father called him here urgently.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the hall, he saw his father talking to Earl Fikam with a smile on his face.

Prince Xiusenya only met Earl Fikam's eyes for a moment, and then they both moved away as if nothing had happened.

"Father." Prince Xiu Senya saluted upwards.

"Get up. Get up, let the king take a good look at it." The king said happily: "Sure enough, he has grown up and knows how to give a gift to my father."

When it came to this gift, the king was very excited.

"I said Xiu Senya, your gift this time is really generous. You gave me all the 100,000 gold coins, and you don't want to keep some for yourself?" the king asked.

Prince Xiu Senya replied very simply: "Father, I am your son, and the fleet I am commanding is also your army. The victory this time depends on the national prestige of the Kingdom of Esk and the power of the ancestor gods." Bless, so the gold coins seized should be handed over. If I am short of money, I will ask my father for it."

"Haha, well said, well said!" The king said with a laugh. Obviously, Prince Xiu Senya's behavior really pleased the king.

Earl Fikam looked at it and nodded.

On the other side, the father and son had already chatted. Seeing this, Earl Fikam, who was always smart and sensible, excused himself to leave.

When only Prince Xiusenya and the king were left in the hall, Prince Xiusenya suddenly mentioned the matter of Romon.

"Father, the territory of Baron Rocas has now been merged into the territory of Viscount Tetasio. Judging from the size of the territory, it is already enough for an earldom. Romon, the Viscount of Tetasio, has inherited Rocca. The baronship of Baron Si, you see, is he canonized as an earl?"

The king was surprised at first, then took a meaningful look at his second son, shook his head and said, "Wait a little longer. The position of the earl is too important. Viscount Tetashaw has the strength, but the foundation is not deep, and there are still Other factors are hard to give now!"

Now that his father said that, Prince Xiu Senya naturally couldn't say anything more, so he could only sigh, and ended the topic.

Afterwards, both father and son deliberately avoided the topic of Tetashaw, and talked about other things. During the conversation, they talked about the matter of the eldest prince.

"Earl Fikam just came and talked to me about your elder brother. Your elder brother also wants to lead a fleet now. What do you think, how about handing over the third fleet to him?" the king listened to the opinion. asked in a tone.

Prince Xiu Senya smiled after hearing this: "Father, since the elder brother wants to contribute to the country, isn't it a good thing? My younger brother commands a fleet, and his elder brother also commands a fleet. Isn't it a matter of course?"

"So, you also agree?" This was a bit beyond the king's expectation. He looked at his second son carefully, and saw that his expression was calm, and he admired it in his heart, but it was a little complicated: "However, someone suggested that, What do you think of having two fleets operating together?"

"Father, I don't agree with this point. You know, my Fourth Fleet and Viscount Tetashaw's fleet have already formed a joint fleet. If the Third Fleet joins, it may cause great harm. Influence, I think, the two fleets don't need to act together..." On this point, Prince Xiu Senya immediately said seriously.

Everything can be compromised, but not this one.

Not to mention Hailancha as the commander in chief, even if he himself is the commander in chief, it won't work.

The first is that you can’t tell the difference between the superior and the inferior, and the second is that the more troops the better, the “insider” who can’t obey orders, and maybe drags his legs, is only the cause of defeat.

Seeing what he said, the king nodded, "What you said is also reasonable...In this case, the two fleets will not interfere with each other. The fourth fleet will be led by you, and the third fleet will be led by your elder brother. They will go out together in the future. "

"Yes, father."

After the prince went out, Earl Fakam appeared again.

"what do you think?"

"His Royal Highness, Prince Xiu Senya, you are really improving." Earl Fikam only said this meaningfully, and he didn't seem to be greedy for money at all.

The king laughed. (!)
