Chapter Seventy-Three: True Fake Death
Liu Ming came to his senses and found that there was a white cloth hanging in the corridor outside, the maid also changed into a white dress, and the soldiers patrolling the corridor had white flowers pinned to their chests, Liu Ming pulled a soldier over and asked, "Who died?"
"Report to your lordship, the little princess passed away this morning, and the lord of the kingdom has ordered the whole country to mourn. The soldier said, Liu Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.
No, the little princess's heart is beating! It is impossible to die!
Liu Ming stepped on the teleportation array with his memory and teleported to Saida's study, Saida also pinned white flowers on his head, and Liu Ming's hands and feet were cold.
He's dead?
Seeing Liu Ming coming, Saida smiled apologetically and instructed his subordinates to prepare flowers next to the little princess's coffin.
"Why did you die?" asked Liu Ming, biting his lower lip.
"The heart was weak, the blood supply was insufficient, and I died after being rescued for a while, but it was still useless. Saida said sadly.
"I want to see the corpse of the little princess!" Liu Ming didn't believe it.
"He has been placed in the coffin by his father, and no one is allowed to move it. The burial will be held in three days, and you will be able to see it then. Saida said that she was not comfortable losing her sister, and she had one less relative.
Liu Ming believed in the power of the system potion and asked the soldiers to inform him that he wanted to see the lord of Murray, but was told that the lord would not meet anyone.
Moreover, the soldier secretly told Liu Ming that Lord Murray was furious and killed several emergency doctors at once, and no one dared to touch his moldy head.
Liu Ming smelled something wrong and returned to the room to lie down and reflect.
Murray killed.
It's not a big deal, but Murray is mentally prepared for the death of the little princess, and it is impossible for him to be so angry and sprinkle his grief and anger on his courtiers, which is not what a powerful monarch should do.
It should be to hide something, kill the person in the know, and even lie to his eldest daughter.
Because Murray is really angry, he can't escape death, and he is still alive and well, which means that he is useful to him, or he is gracious.
"The little princess is not dead. Liu Ming guessed.
"The curse is gone, it proves that the person is dead!" Liu Ming's eyes flashed, and he figured out what Murray was doing.
This is the real fake death!
Liu Ming breathed a sigh of relief, he wasn't worried that Murray would kill him, he just could save a fresh life, and a sense of pride surged in his heart, he hadn't lost his mind as an otaku.
Just as Liu Ming was happy, Murray appeared in his room with his back to Liu Ming.
"My daughter died. Murray said lightly, with no emotional fluctuations.
Liu Ming looked at him and hesitated for a few seconds: "Yes, it's a pity." ”
"You're smarter than I believe. Murray turned and smiled.
"In order to survive, force yourself to be a little better. You are the one who can use my methods flexibly, and you are the real wise man. Liu Ming said.
"What reward do you want? status, or money?"
I want your daughter!
Liu Ming said in his heart, of course he didn't have the courage to say it, I was afraid that he would be slapped to death by this guy.
"Well, a tax cut of 20 percent for three years, plus a chance to speak, and that's my reward. As for bringing back the Ten Thousand Year Tree Heart, you can just give me twenty gold coins. ”
"That's it?" asked Murray, curious.
"That's it. Liu Ming said.
"You're not from our country, so I'm curious why you're asking me to cut my taxes? Murray asked, sat down, and poured himself a cup of tea.
One day I will wander into your territory, and when I have no money, I can still find a farmer to eat, and when they hear the name of my benefactor, they may be entertained with good wine and meat. Liu Ming said with a smile.
"If you want, I can keep you rich for the rest of your life. Murray looked at him, the savior who had saved his daughter.
"Then learn from those nobles, have nothing to deceive you, squeeze the money of the commoners, have no dreams and no reason to live all your life? Is this different from a dead man? Not to mention that a rich man with no strength will only attract people to overlook. Liu Ming said.
"What's your dream?" asked Murray curiously, he didn't mind having more chats with Liu Ming.
"Travel around the world, cheat around and cheat the little girl! by the way, bully the lonely monster and have fun. Liu Ming said as he lay on the bed with his hands on the back of his head.
"Hahahaha! I thought you would say change the status quo of the aristocracy of this world. ”
"No, no, no, I'm not that great, I just want to be a mortal, greedy for money and lustful. It's not a matter of a year or two for the nobles to control the world, and I can't change anything, but I can do my best to help the people who are oppressed by the nobles. ”
"Plus, the strong have the right to everything. Liu Ming said, and the more Murray looked at Liu Ming, the more satisfied he became, and as he said, he left twenty gold coins on the table and walked to the door.
"Tomorrow you come to the main hall, you can say whatever you want, I won't stop you. ”
"Lord Shemurey's great grace, please don't be too sad, the little princess is just by the side of the gods in advance. Liu Ming rolled over and got out of bed, knelt down on one knee and said.
Murray is gone, Liu Ming happily counts the gold coins, the first time in his life to see so much money!
With a wave of his hand, Liu Ming put the gold coins into his backpack, and the number of gold coins held automatically popped up under the backpack, which was very convenient. Back and forth more than a dozen times, having fun.
"It's boring here!!" Liu Ming stood up and had just gone out with two soldiers when he met Saida at the gate of the castle.
She was discussing with the minister of the Ministry of Rites how to decorate the castle gate, and when she saw Liu Ming come out, she asked him to wait for her.
Saida looked badly stated, her eyes were slightly red and swollen, and she was obviously crying alone.
"You get busy first, I'll go sit down at the fruit shop next to me. Liu Ming pointed to the fruit shop not far away, Saida nodded, Liu Ming ordered a glass of juice in the fruit shop and waited for Saida, and sent it to the old brother who led the way by his side.
The juice of another world is a bit raw, pure hand-squeezed, and one hand forcibly pinchs and squeezes the fruit out of the juice.
"Brother, have you washed your hands?" Liu Ming asked the most fatal question.
"Don't worry! There's that!" The shopkeeper pointed to Liu Ming with a basin of white fluorescent liquid, Liu Ming was curious to come up, colorless and odorless, his fingers slid lightly, and immediately attached a layer of glove-like film, which he couldn't see if he didn't look carefully.
"What is this?" Liu Ming was intrigued.
"This is called a cleaning liquid, it is a magic product! It can attach a film to the surface of the skin to ensure hygiene!" the shopkeeper smiled, Liu Ming asked the price, and found that a large pot was only one silver coin, which was very affordable.
It's a principality, and any small vendor can use magic items!
I was in the village of Teyi, and I had to dig a well slowly by myself.
Liu Ming didn't wait long, Saida trotted over and handed the juice away, Saida motioned for the soldiers to stay here, and he accompanied Liu Ming to walk around the commercial street.
"It's busy. Liu Ming asked, Saida was wearing civilian clothes and her face was veiled, and it was difficult for anyone to recognize her as a princess.
"Hmm. Saida said.
"I'm probably tired of hearing things like the festival mourning, I'll take a walk with you to make you feel better. Liu Ming said, boldly holding Saida's Rouyi and walking on the street, Saida looked nervously left and right, and no one paid attention to it before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"You're too bold!" Saida said angrily, but her tone didn't mean it.
"How can you deceive girls if you don't dare to do so!"
"Hehe, what a girl you have lied to say these things. Saida asked, Liu Ming pretended to be serious, and counted his fingers: "Little red, little blue, little yellow, little green!"
"Hahahaha! Are you going to finish counting the colors!" Saida covered his mouth and smiled, silently withdrawing the hand held by Liu Ming and placing it in front of him.
"When people are gone, we should be nostalgic, but we should not sink into memory. Instead, we should keep moving forward with their aspirations to create our own future. Liu Ming said, and Saida said thank you.
"Where do you sell your ornaments? Take me and I'll buy something." Liu Ming saw that she was in a much better mood and said.
"Do you want it to be defensive, or just decorative?" asked Saida curiously.
"Send the girl. Liu Ming raised his eyebrows, and Saida snorted.
