Hearing Li Yi's words, the old general couldn't help but praise again. Then the general said, "I didn't expect you to have such an entanglement with Kara before. Now if you still stay in the imperial capital, it would definitely be a lot of trouble. A few days ago, a magic crystal mine was discovered in Wu'an Kingdom, and the imperial capital was preparing to send troops to guard. If you don't object, I will send your troops there to change defenses. Look at what this is."
"It's so good, I don't want to be in trouble all the time, so I rely on the general to arrange it."
"Well, this is simple. In a few days, the envoys of Wu'an Kingdom will come to pay their respects. Then you can go there with them. But Li Yi, please note that Wu'an Kingdom is only a vassal state of the empire after all, and it is located on the border of the empire. There are constant disputes between small countries, and it is not as stable as the imperial capital. You should be more careful when you get there, and you must not be careless."
When Li Yi heard that there might be a war, he became interested immediately. This arrangement of killing two birds with one stone made Li Yi very happy. After a few more greetings with General Luo Ning, Li Yi and Alice left the general's mansion.
After seven days after receiving the arrangement from General Luo Ning, the envoy of Wu'an Kingdom came to the imperial capital to pay his respects. During this period, Li Yi's health had basically recovered and he was trained by the Central Army every day. Although the knight soldiers who were above the top were not much awe of Li Yi, at least they did not look down on Li Yi.
On the day when the envoy of Wu'an Kingdom arrived, General Luo Ning also arranged for Li Yi to join him in the imperial court ceremony for the envoy of Wu'an Kingdom. The court ceremony was held in the palace, and the scale of the ceremony was also quite grand.
"Alice, you will leave the imperial capital in a few days. It is said that the environment in Wu'an Kingdom is far inferior to that in the capital of God. You won't blame me for implicating you." Li Yi asked on the way to the palace.
"It's nothing, at least I don't need to be exposed to the sun. Besides, I haven't walked out of Tianlan Kingdom since I was a child. It's good to be able to go out to see it." Alice did not regard going away from home as a burden at all, but was still enthusiastic about it.
"That's good, thank you for your hard work." Li Yi said sincerely, and sincerely thanked Alice for her understanding.
"Hehe, if you feel bad about me, I will hand over your monthly salary. Maybe I will be happier." Alice said naughtyly, and laughed like a copper bell.
Looking at Alice, who was happily beside her, Li Yi felt particularly peaceful. He laughed and laughed all the way, and the two of them came to the palace gate leisurely.
Although I have been living in the imperial capital for a while, this is the first time Li Yi has seen the center of imperial power, the Imperial Palace, with his own eyes.
The main entrance of the palace is like a small city wall, made of red bricks and red tiles. It not only does not look vulgar, but also looks more elegant and luxurious.
He showed his team leader token, and after waiting for a little notification, Li Yi and Alice were given a notice of permission to enter.
Strolling around the palace courtyard, even though Li Yi was very sane, he was deeply moved by the luxury and grandeur of the place.
"No wonder most people like to fight for power and have such a luxurious palace. The sense of conquest in it is naturally self-evident." Li Yi and Alice wandered among them, thinking to themselves.
There were many guards in the palace. Before Li Yi and Alice could go too deep into the palace, they had already discovered more than ten teams of patrol soldiers. The soldiers guarding the palace were all majestic and tall, and they exuded a calm temperament in every move. They were obviously not Yi and him.
Carefully passing through the many lines of defense, Li Yi and Alice walked for nearly an hour before reaching the square where the ceremony was held, which shows the scale of the palace.
When Li Yi and the others walked to the square in front of the hall, it was already noon. The square was filled with people, most of them were famous figures in the empire. It was not time for the visit, so the envoys of Wu'an Kingdom did not appear.
"Li Yi, it's really lively. I wonder if the food will be served later. I'm looking forward to eating the delicious food in the palace." Alice looked at the palace maid attendant who was rushing by her side and said excitedly.
Hearing Alice's feelings, Li Yi was speechless. Unexpectedly, when this little girl came to such a place, what she thought most was food.
"Haha, since you want to entertain the vassal states, there will naturally be food supply. Will it cost you a lot of money, little greedy cat?"
"Who are you calling the little greedy cat? I'm just curious and want to know what the emperor eats every day and how it's different from our people."
"What's the difference? They are all humans. The emperor can still eat gold every day." Li Yi was in a good mood and said jokingly to Alice. "If you don't have enough food in a while, we can also try to sneak into the kitchen of the palace. We will definitely be able to eat enough there."
"Oh, a good idea, you are really bad enough. A girl like me who is as beautiful as a flower, dare not think of such a thing."
"I will beat you to death, don't pretend to be pure with me here. You are not as kind as me." Li Yi said with a smile, and he did not forget to give Alice a thunderous thunder.
Alice covered her forehead aggrievedly, looked at Li Yi with resentment, muttering with words: "Isn't it all you have brought bad things to me, you're bad guys."
Li Yi was speechless again, and his feelings became an instigator. If he changed to someone who was unaware of the situation, he would really believe that Li Yi was a complete bastard who specifically instigated the little loli. But God is above, Alice likes to steal beautiful women's underwear, but it was not her instigation.
However, when Li Yi thought of Alice's unique "hobby", he suddenly smiled a little bit of a smirk on his face, and then he said to Alice evilly: "Hey, I heard that the emperor's harem has countless beauties, and there... well, um." Li Yi wanted to say something but stopped, but anyone could hear the evil in his words.
Alice covered her forehead and heard Li Yi’s proposal, her eyes suddenly shone. She also cooperated with Li Yi and showed a smirk. "Li Yi, you are still considerate. Hehe, you can’t be too hasty about this matter. In the important part of the palace, everything must be done carefully. We should make a long-term plan."
Seeing Alice's serious expression, Li Yi really wanted to give her another thunder. He was just a joke, but he didn't expect that she would really dare to hit the emperor.
Just as the two were talking and laughing, a voice came from behind Li Yi.
"I wonder what interesting things Brother Li and Miss Alice are talking about, can I join in and have a joke?"
Hearing the sound, Li Yi couldn't help but look back. As soon as he turned around, he saw the second prince Kevin standing not far behind him, looking at him with a smile.
"It turns out that the second prince is here. Haha, we didn't talk about anything, we just made some ordinary jokes. (Well, it would be an ordinary joke if stealing the beauties' underwear in the harem.) Why is the second prince here for free? Don't you have to entertain guests?" Li Yi still has a good impression of Kevin.
"Of course there will be someone else to accompany you. My father has arranged for the ministers to receive them. I accidentally discovered that Brother Li was here, so I wanted to come and have a gathering. But Brother Li is really a good person. He didn't just say that he would call me Kevin. Why should he call him the name of Kevin like outsiders?" The words of the second prince Kevin were so clear, and a few simple words brought Li Yi closer to him.
"If it were normal, Li Yi would naturally not meet the second prince. But the occasion is more serious now, so I should not surpass the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers."
"Okay, then I won't blame you this time, but if you still call the second prince in the future, don't blame me for being rude. Haha, I really want to make friends with you." Kevin said very sincerely, and there was no sign of falsehood.
Li Yi couldn't help but tremble when he heard the word "friend". Friend, he has never had a real friend since he was born. If the second prince had not been in his position and had not had some strength to use, would Kevin still treat him like he is now? Thinking of this, Li Yi really felt a hint of regret and melancholy in his heart.
However, Li Yi is not a person who likes to be sad about spring and autumn. After a short period of melancholy, he returned to normal. At least from the current perspective, Kevin is definitely not having any false intentions, and this has already satisfied himself.
"Thank you for your love, the second prince is proud of Li Yi's face as bright as you."
"Stop coming, why do you become more polite the more you say it? By the way, Li Yi, I heard about one thing." The second prince, who was still joking, suddenly said another thing with a serious attitude. "I heard that you were put on a trick by Kara's boy a few days ago. He was seriously injured. Isn't it true?"
"The second prince is so smart that he can even know Li Yi's little thing. Not bad. I was ambushed by Kara a few days ago because of carelessness. Fortunately, I was lucky enough to escape."
"Then what are your plans next? Are you going to fight Kara hard or have another way to do it?"
"I want to fight, but no matter how strong I am, I can't fight such a big family. What's more, my strength is limited, and I'm powerless to fight. General Luo Ning also knows about this. He arranged for me to set off with the envoy of Wu'anguo in a few days and let me hide at the border."
"Oh, although this arrangement is good, you just feel wronged Brother Li, can you really swallow this?"
"So what can I do if I can't swallow it? This world will not develop everything according to my own wishes. Even if I go to the border, I feel that I will not be able to adapt to life in the imperial capital."
"It's better to be like this than to be guarded every day in the imperial capital. If you have any difficulties, just ask me. I won't refuse if you can solve them."
"Then I would like to thank the second prince. Maybe I will really bother the second prince in the future."
"It's easy to say, don't be polite. But Li Yi, if you are really ready to set off with the envoy of Wu'anguo, then we might go together." Speaking of this, Prince Kevin suddenly smiled and blinked.
"Hmm? How do you say this?" Li Yi couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Haha, in fact, if it were just a small mineral that was discovered in a vassal state, there was no need to summon the envoy. However, the magic crystal mine discovered this time was extraordinary. Scholars in the imperial capital predicted that this ore vein could definitely mine a large number of magic crystals. Magic crystals play an important role in expanding the military, so the imperial capital will react like this this time."
"So that's it. Such good things can still be mined in large quantities, and the country should really pay attention to them."
"Not only that, in fact, there are other intentions to summon the envoys of Wu'an Kingdom this time. Wu'an Kingdom is located on the border of the empire and borders the Sai Empire. In the past, due to these territorial problems, our two countries started wars a lot. Now we are still finding such important mineral veins there. We are also afraid that the Sai Empire will have bad intentions, so we summoned the envoys to give Wu'an Kingdom peace of mind and to prove our ownership of the magic crystal mine."
"No wonder the imperial capital is preparing to send the Central Army to garrison, so it seems that there is such an intention."
"That's natural, how could the Empire let go of such a good thing?"
Just as the two were talking, a declaration suddenly broke out in the palace - the Wu'an Kingdom envoy met.
"Let's go Li Yi, let's welcome guests from afar." Hearing the announcement, Kevin said to Li Yi with a smile.
Under Kevin's life, Li Yi finally reluctantly agreed to Kevin to stand in a relatively high place, which also gave Li Yi the opportunity to observe the envoy of Wu'anguo from a close distance.
I saw a woman in her thirties walking in front of the Wu'an Kingdom's messenger group with a smile, glaring at everyone in a charming way, without a trace of dignified temperament.
Alice, who was standing beside Li Yi, frowned and said, "Is the woman walking in the front the representative of the mission? Why is it that frivolous look on her face? How could Wu'anguo send such a person on mission?"
"Miss Alice is unknown. This person's name is Margaret. Although he is only a vassal state of our Tianlan Empire, her name is spread in the upper class of our Tianlan Kingdom." Kevin said softly from the side when he heard Alice's muttering.
"What kind of fame is it? I think it's definitely not a good reputation." Alice said angrily.
"Haha, it's not a bad reputation, but this person has great skills in socializing. This person lingers in various political and business gatherings and has a lot of relationships with many politicians and rich people. She may not be the most beautiful at the party, but she must be the most active."
"It's just a soccer girl. If I want to do it, I can definitely do it." Alice continued to say angrily, for some reason she just didn't have a good impression of Margaret.
"That's natural. With Miss Alice's beauty, it must be easy to gather all kinds of eyes at various parties." Kevin didn't comment on Margaret, and instead talked about Alice's beauty with praise.
Hearing Prince Kevin's praise, Alice instantly smiled like a flower. She looked at Li Yi with a show-off look, meaning, look, my beauty is something that even the prince should praise.
Li Yi looked at Alice's stinky fart and ruthlessly said, "What's so pretty? Can you compare with others? You want to be a soccer before your body has been fully developed, so you don't have to be mistaken for being a minor." After that, Li Yi hugged his arms and smiled at Alice's breasts, then turned his head and glanced at Margaret's breast enlargement.
Although Alice's figure is already convex and curved, compared with Margaret, Alice's figure is immediately two sizes smaller. If Mary Little's figure is really based on Mary Little's figure, then Alice can only be considered a minor.
