Durin's Diary

Chapter 847: Fear

When Zhang Mengping walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion, Prime Minister Lin was preparing to rest.

The old monkey without a tail looked at the visitor in surprise and said, "It's so late, why are you still here?"

An old Zhulong like Zhang Mengping is actually not allowed to meet with a prime minister-level figure late at night, because both parties have to write a report afterwards. The Zhulong Pavilion has to read it, the Tianshi Mansion has to understand it, and even the Chief of the Internal Guard has to review it.

"About Du Lin and Sun Guanzhi." Zhang Mengping gave a matter-of-fact answer.

"As for them, only you came. This isn't right." Upon hearing about this, Lin Xiangguo, who had been frowning, nodded, but he was still a little confused.

"I don't know where they are going, but I believe they are not all going home." Zhang Mengping said this and looked at the old man in front of him.

He watched him from infancy, watched him grow up, watched him argue in the court, and watched him grow old.

He believed that this old man, who had once been young, was still full of passion.

So he spoke up: "We have to help these two... young people."

"According to my intelligence, they are not young." Lin Xiangguo was leading the way. He was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed.

"At least in my eyes, they are just as young as you." After saying this, Zhang Mengping sat down on the left side of the chessboard. "How many ships can the Northern Navy still move?"

"How to say."

"Those two kids are going to the four islands to slay the Chaos Demon. I'll meet with the Emperor tomorrow to see if I can mobilize a fleet to distract the puppet skeletons. If that's possible, the Zhang family will mobilize all their forces, and I'll lead the team myself. We'll fight to the death to create a chance for those two kids."

………………

At the same time, at Prime Minister Liu’s Mansion.

Old Prime Minister Liu looked at Pang Juan who was sitting in front of him holding a cup. When this old man entered his prime minister's mansion alone, he was full of doubts - because they were rivals in the court.

"Grandmaster, do you really believe those two?"

"Because they have indeed killed at least two great demons. If this succeeds, that would mean there are three. If we can help Nameless locate the Kind Grandmother's kingdom of God, we will also have one less major concern."

"But sending the Marines..."

"The Pang family's descendants are willing to fight, even if it's just sending a few independent brigades to Kyushu Island and fighting there for several days. As long as they can draw out the main force of the Puppet Bone and find a chance for those two young men, all the sacrifices will be worth it."

The aged Prime Minister Liu looked at the old Zhulong in front of him, and finally he smiled: "Okay, I will definitely make a memorial with you at the court tomorrow. If that day ever comes, please ask the Grand Tutor to bring my Liu family members with you."

"Why aren't you, the Liu family, afraid of death at this time?" Old Zhulong asked back.

"Yes, our kind grandmother took away our Liu family's homeland, and the four islands sank. Fortunately, His Majesty the Emperor of Chang Tang took us in. For thousands of years, we have always remembered our hometown from books. Now we have the opportunity to die on the land of our homeland. If the Liu family members continue to be cowards, they will surely die of shame." At this point, Prime Minister Liu lowered his head and said, "Grand Master, please allow my children to be the first to land. We will use our blood and flesh to carve out a large enough landing area. Grand Master, give us the opportunity to die gloriously in battle."

"...Don't even think about it. We will land together, and the people of the East will fight side by side." Old Zhulong responded to his opponent in the court with formal courtesy.

………………

The old man looked at his fellow man, who was sitting at the tea table, sizing him up. "You old man, you're drunk. Why are you here instead of going back to drink your hangover soup?" "I came to Prime Minister Luo because I want you to do us a favor for the Mo family."

"The Air Force can't possibly go crazy with you on the Four Islands. That's not the Changtang coast. Every loss of personnel over the Four Islands is irreparable. And those two kids you mentioned seem to me to be crazy. They want to find a Chaos Demon from the Puppet Bone's territory. Even if they can find a Chaos Demon, can they really defeat it? I can't possibly go crazy with you at tomorrow's court meeting!"

"I'm not here to tell you this." The old man raised his head and said with drooping eyes.

"Then what are you doing here?"

"The Mo family has three squadrons in the aviation fleet. I'm here to tell you that when that day comes, I will personally lead the team in the cover and evacuation operation. I don't care if there is support from the navy or not. The descendants of the Mo family will fight to the last man."

"You must be fucking crazy! You old bastard, do you think the battlefield is a playground? Three squadrons! Even if all your children died, you wouldn't let those two guys evacuate! What four-level legend?! That can't even exist!"

"That's true. Du Lin has killed two great demons and even refused a promotion ceremony. He just doesn't know it. After all, he is the first Zhulong to kill a great demon in the Demon Realm. Do you think those four will really not be tempted?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiangguo, who was sitting opposite the old man and also looked like a hybrid of a grassland elf and a candle dragon, fell silent.

He looked at the old man in front of him and frowned: "This is impossible."

"Tomorrow at the imperial court, you can bring that child into the palace. I believe you will understand why I have confidence in him. After all, he also has the blood of our Mo family. The Mo family doesn't want him, but I do. A child like him is priceless to our Mo family."

"...Okay, I'll make a decision after looking at it tomorrow."

"What if I'm not wrong?" The old man's eyes drooped more and more.

Prime Minister Luo thought for a moment and said, "Then I will go find Lao Lin. If Lao Lin and I can convince the Emperor and the military, as long as the navy can be dispatched and a flat-top ship is used to transport the air combat mage squadron, the Luo family members will accompany you, the Mo family, to go crazy. I will bear the consequences of any casualties."

"Okay, then I'll go to Lin Xiangguo's place and run around again."

Just as the old man said this, Luo Xiangguo's housekeeper knocked on the door outside.

He brought a strange news.

"Sir, Prime Minister Lin and Prime Minister Liu are here."

"Hurry up and invite them in." After saying that, Luo Xiangguo looked at the old man and said, "Did you and Zhulong have an appointment today?"

"Bullshit, after we finish drinking, we each go back to our own homes. Look, they are looking for their own mothers. Who knows where they went?" At this point, the old man rubbed his nose and said, "Do you want me to step aside?"

"Why are you retreating? When did small guys like us become so distant?" Luo Xiangguo widened his eyes in dissatisfaction.

"Weren't you quite distant just now?" The old man drooped his eyes.

"You are such a jerk, I tell you, old man!"

Prime Minister Luo was furious at the old man's sarcasm.
