Chapter 596 Lionheart Mission
As soon as the train stopped, Yanes eagerly took a favorable position.
If he were another high official, he would never do this, it would be too embarrassing.
But Yanes had no burden at all. As a surrenderer, he relied on the trust of the royal family. It was not enough to do his job well.
It was okay to lose face. The next generation could stand up straight and move to a high position as a legitimate royal supporter.
Qin was shocked as soon as he got off the train.
Yanes was extremely attentive, and the mayor was ignored as expected, and he didn't even get to say a few words.
Seeing the eldest prince being taken away by the customs, there was nothing he could do.
Yanes directly chose the largest local restaurant and booked the top floor tonight to entertain Qin.
It was the first time Qin met Yanes. He had learned about the second customs chief from the documents exchanged between the courts. He was more capable than his second grandfather.
His father's evaluation of him was also positive, and he was a capable official.
It's just that in his imagination, even if this capable person is not as arrogant as the young Count Jeffreys, he should be as noble as his father-in-law.
But no matter how much you imagine, it's better to actually meet him once.
So there is a big gap between theory and practice, and words can never fully describe a living person.
Qin quickly adapted. You can't deny the ability of a person just because of his style. As a superior, you should look at it objectively.
When they arrived at the hotel, Yanes greeted Qin to sit down, but Albert sat next to Qin.
The two were close together, looking very close.
Yanes was stunned. He really didn't pay too much attention to Albert. He thought he was Qin's guard officer.
So it's inevitable that some news is delayed when you are far away from the center.
Qin took the initiative to introduce him, and he couldn't see his thoughts at all: "This is Baron Albert Simon, my personal guard officer, and my good brother."
With the relationship between the two families, it's not at all inconsistent to call each other brothers.
Qin knew that he couldn't compare with his father's talent and strategy, so he could put down his body and make friends with everyone around him.
As soon as Yanes heard it, he guessed Albert's background and blurted out the flattering words: "A tiger father has no dog son. Baron Albert looks very much like Count Simon. I said they look 70% similar."
He is a very smart person and will naturally not offend anyone.
After eating for a while, Yanes took this opportunity to find out the news.
"Your Highness, this time the Empire sent you to receive the Lionheart Kingdom delegation. Is there a change in policy? Do you need me to make some preparations?"
In the past, the customs would not care about the envoys passing through the border, and there would be no customs director to meet them.
But if the policy changes, then he will also change with it.
Qin didn't care about this kind of temptation and told him directly: "The policy has not changed, and the empire does not need to care too much about these small Western countries.
It's just that this time a prince and a princess came, and my father wanted me to practice, so he sent me here.
Director Yanes, everything can be done as usual."
Qin didn't want to make a big fuss, and there was no need to waste resources at all.
The Lionheart Kingdom may not bring enough gifts for a generous reception when it visits, so the Great Xia Empire will not be a sucker.
Qin has made up his mind that as long as he does not lose the face of the Great Xia, it will be fine.
Yanes knows what is going on, so he doesn't flatter the horse.
The meal was very comfortable, and Yanes certainly didn't dare to arrange any special programs for the crown prince.
After a few days of waiting, the news that the Lionheart Kingdom delegation was about to dock finally came.
...
Prince Charlie looked tired. This foreign prince, whose pseudonym is similar to Qin, has been much more haggard recently.
Sailing on the sea is not such a comfortable thing. Even if he is of noble status, he still has to experience wind and waves.
However, this trip was not without gains. Along the way, he saw unique scenery and intuitively felt the superficial unity of overseas colonies and... the strength of the Great Xia.
It can be clearly felt that the difference is that the informal visit of an earl of the Great Xia must be treated with caution by the whole country.
However, they flew the flag of the mission, and only met the governor of the colony halfway, and did not feel valued at all.
The warships that handed over the escort along the way were only second-rate.
Originally, they felt that they were valued when they saw the Wanmi giant ship.
But when they approached the coast of Daxia, they happened to encounter the main force of the Daxia navy passing by. Those sea fortresses made them intuitively realize what it meant to walk the empire.
Prince Charlie stood on the deck with a complicated expression. He had already seen the port in the distance.
This is already the most crowded place on the route, and there are more ships coming and going than fish in the sea.
But all the ships are in order, demonstrating a strong dispatching ability.
The ship responsible for piloting took the mission around the mainstream route and stopped at a closed berth.
This blocked berth was already full of soldiers.
Don't get me wrong, this is not to welcome the Lionheart Kingdom's mission, but to protect Qin.
Prince Charlie has studied the Daxia Empire for a long time, and he recognized the gold-rimmed double-headed dragon flag at a glance.
"There are members of the royal family present!"
Prince Charlie suddenly became excited, which seemed to indicate that the situation of this mission was not so bad.
When he got off the ship excitedly, he finally learned from the receiving official the identity of the official sent by Daxia to take over... The eldest prince, the Minister of the Air Force, and Count Augusta - Qin.
This person is a truly noble and noble descendant of the royal family.
For the Lionheart Kingdom, which values bloodline, his status is very high.
When he saw Qin, Prince Charlie took the initiative to salute and said excitedly: "It's an honor to meet you, Your Highness Qin."
Qin also politely returned the salute: "I am also very happy to meet you, Prince Charlie."
His eyes were attracted by Princess Mary Dejia. This person should be the mistress of Earl Jeffreys.
He admired Earl Jeffreys's ability as a stallion, but this romantic affair was already known to everyone.
But this is not a bad thing, maybe it can have a miraculous effect.
After all...the princess also has the right of inheritance, right?
Qin smiled, and it was hard to tell that he was the biggest funder of the Lionheart Kingdom's resistance army.
If it weren't for the weapons he provided, Haman would have been wiped out long ago.
The Lionheart Kingdom didn't know this, but they knew that Haman must have a way in the Great Xia Empire, otherwise he would never get so many weapons.
Prince Charlie was able to keep his composure and did not mention the matter at all. Instead, he chatted with Qin in the unfamiliar Daxia language.
Perhaps in his opinion, it was more important to establish a good personal relationship first.
Qin also cooperated very much. He really wanted to establish a good relationship with Prince Charlie.
After all, this person has a certain influence in the Lionheart Kingdom and is also a strong contender for the throne.
There is nothing wrong with betting on multiple parties.
As for Haman, personal relationships are insignificant in the face of national interests.
If Haman becomes powerful, it will be his turn to support the Lionheart royal family.
