Chapter 668 Su Cheng Goes North
There has been a sudden change in the Holy Hiran Empire - this news is quite important.
This kind of important news is always delivered by messengers riding fast horses.
Even if the horse was running non-stop and changing horses without changing people, it still took a lot of time to reach the imperial capital.
By the time this news was sent to the imperial capital, it was already the end of February.
After receiving this news, the Central Committee of the Britannia Empire attached great importance to this news.
The possibility that the superpowers will tear up the armistice and launch another large-scale attack on us is horrifying to think about.
After receiving the news, Jacob made an immediate decision - let Su Cheng go north back to Avalon Fortress immediately!
Su Cheng also took this news very seriously. After learning that there were changes in the Holy Hiran Empire and receiving Jacob's order, Su Cheng immediately started to prepare to return to the north.
After receiving the order, it took Su Cheng less than an hour to prepare to return to the north.
All the luggage has been packed, and the carriage for his return trip and the guards responsible for protecting him are ready.
The carriage has stopped in front of Su Cheng's mansion. As long as Su Cheng comes out of the mansion, he can immediately set off back to the north.
Just when Su Cheng was about to leave for Avalon Fortress, an unexpected guest - Jacob came to visit.
Su Cheng, who had not received any notice in advance, looked at Jacob, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall of his mansion with an expressionless face, a little at a loss.
Jacob seemed to see Su Cheng's doubts and smiled:
"Su Cheng, I'm here to see you off. While seeing you off, I just came to tell you something."
"Mr. Jacob, if there is something wrong, it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Although it is still unknown whether the Holy Hiran Empire will really use troops against our country, we must be prepared for the worst in everything."
"If the Holy Hiran Empire really invades the south..."
Speaking of this, Jacob's expression suddenly became more serious.
"Su Cheng, please make sure to win beautifully."
Before Su Cheng could reply, Jacob continued:
"Everyone now knows that you, Su Cheng, are a staunch member of the 'Queen Faction'."
"The 'Gaelic' forces are more difficult to deal with than I thought."
"In order to weaken their power, we must try to gain more say."
"At this juncture, Su Cheng, if you can achieve some great achievements, you can make the speech of our 'Queen's Faction' more weighty, thereby greatly enhancing the influence of our 'Queen's Faction'."
As soon as Jacob finished speaking, Su Cheng scratched his hair:
"Have you accomplished a great feat... If the Holy Hiran Empire really led an army of hundreds of thousands to invade the south,
So what kind of achievements should I achieve to be considered as great achievements that can greatly increase the influence and voice of our "Queen Faction"? "
"Um……"
After Jacob pondered for a while, he said in a joking tone:
"For example - annihilate all the invading armies, and counterattack into the Holy Hiran Empire itself. Hahahaha, I'm just joking. In fact, if the Holy Hiran Empire really invades the south, as long as you can perfectly defend Ava It’s enough to defeat Long Fortress and defeat Xilan’s army, I don’t expect too much.”
After saying that, Jacob stopped joking and put on the serious expression and tone just now:
"In short-if the Holy Hiran Empire invades south, the safety of the northern part of the empire-will be entrusted to you!"
"Understood." Su Cheng stood up and gave Jacob the military salute of the British Empire, "I will definitely fulfill my mission!"
…
…
at the same time.
Britannia Empire, Pendragon, Baiyang Palace, Gale's room.
Since Ilsa came to the throne, Gale's current task—that is, the task of supervising the surrendered bandits to repair the eastern straight road—had been relieved of duty due to Jacob's intentional actions.
Gale's task is now handed over to others.
The reason why Jacob wanted to do this was to let Gale stay in the imperial capital well so that Jacob could monitor Gale.
During the recent period, Gale, who was idle at home, was like Su Cheng, reading books every day and turning a deaf ear to everything happening outside.
At this time, Gale was sitting on a wooden chair, looking through a book in his hand expressionlessly.
In front of him, a middle-aged man was kneeling.
This middle-aged man is Alfred, the financial controller of the empire, and a staunch Gaelic supporter.
Today, he secretly came to Gale's room again, wanting to have a good talk with Gale again.
"It's you again..." Gale said to him in a tone that was neither salty nor indifferent, "I have said similar words many times, please leave."
As soon as Gale finished speaking, Alfred said excitedly:
"Your Highness! Are you really willing to do this?!"
Alfred's words made Gale's fingers that were turning the pages of the book stop in mid-air.
"Many ministers, including myself, sincerely believe that only Your Highness is suitable to be our new emperor!"
"Your Highness Ilsa is just a child! How can He Dehe be our emperor!"
"Your Highness! As long as you say a word, we will do our best to let you sit on the throne that you should sit on..."
Before Alfred could finish his words, Gale, who was full of anger, slammed the book in his hand towards Alfred.
"Shut up!"
Gale yelled at him.
"Ilsa is the new crown prince appointed by my father! It is reasonable and legal!"
"Ilsa is also my only daughter! It is only a matter of time before she becomes the emperor of the empire! I have always trained Ilsa as the future emperor of the empire!"
"Ilsa has finally ascended the throne! To be honest, I am very happy!"
"Now it just skips me and makes Ilsa the new emperor of the empire in advance! Is there any problem?!"
"Don't say such things in front of me again! Get out of here!"
Alfred wanted to say something else.
But when he opened his mouth, Gale yelled at him again:
"Get out of here!"
"...Yes."
Although he was unwilling, Alfred still gritted his teeth, answered "yes", and then left Gale's room.
After Alfred left the room, Gale, who was sitting on the chair, gasped.
"Damn..."
Gale scratched his hair, his face full of irritability.
"How could I... go and rob my daughter of her throne..."
Gail whispered to himself in a voice that only he could hear.
The tone was as if he was trying to convince himself...
...
...
After Jacob came to see him off and had a brief meeting and talk with Jacob, Su Cheng officially got on the carriage and set off to return to the North.
Su Cheng, slumped in the soft chair of the carriage, closed his eyes and murmured:
"Is it time to go back to the North?...Even if I rush to the North as fast as I can, it will be almost April when I return to the North...So, by the time I return to the North, I won't have seen Alan and the others for nearly 5 months..."
When Su Cheng stopped mumbling, a familiar female voice suddenly came from the opposite side of him:
"That's great, I can finally go back to the North. Su Cheng, you should remember to bring the gifts you bought for Alan and the others, right?"
