No. 185 The voice of the heart, two stories
A lamp of white ash lit up, illuminating the hall that had become gloomy by the heavy curtain that had obscured the daylight, and the old man at the top shouted angrily, but he did not see his angry face, and his sharp gaze like a falcon passed over the two young men, and he said calmly
"Leave the matter over there to Lucifer, Yasi, you keep an eye on the affairs of the Xiyue Clan, and if Leo has any changes, report it in time. ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, Your Excellency!"
The two of them replied in unison.
As he spoke, the Holy Lord looked at the young woman who had been standing at the head of the left but remained silent, dressed in a red robe as white as blood. Long black hair curled over his shoulders,
A pair of purple eyes tell of bewitching alienation.
"Elizabeth, what's going on over there with the demons?"
As soon as the words fell, the two young men looked at the woman in red at the same time, only to see that the purple eyes moved slightly, and the voice was indifferent to Cen Cen, who would feel chill no matter how many times he heard it.
"The Siam Division has been moving frequently lately and has been deploying manpower to the east, with the intention of strengthening the garrison. The old royal family that supported the eldest prince Edward and the new faction who supported the little prince Sero have been fighting very hard recently, and they have neglected the management of the low-level monsters under their hands, and most of the low-level monsters that have wandered into the town have been killed by the temple gate, and the remaining part is still fleeing. ”
Because of the existence of humans and gods, the karmic time and space have made a contract with the demons, so no monster is allowed to step into the karmic time and space, and no one wants to touch that person's bottom line, because it is destined to be self-inflicted.
For thousands of years, the demons have settled in the district time and space, and they are growing stronger day by day, because of the existence of the current holy lord, they have barely reached a tie with the demons, but once the holy lord dies, then the entire district time and space will become the food of the demons.
The Holy Lord looked at the girl with a frosty face with relief, because of her arrival, he could feel that the future of the time and space would not be dark.
The Holy Lord nodded, and his voice softened a little and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at each other, although they had expected that the girl who came halfway might become the heir of the Holy Lord, but things really came to this point, but it had to be surprising.
Elizabeth's face was calm, as always, she did not take the surprise of those behind her to heart, in her opinion, these people behind her were too strong to have, and the intrigue was not as good as the defeat of the dynasty who had just been beaten by them.
Elizabeth said calmly. "Take the opportunity to suppress the demons who are wreaking havoc outside, send men to garrison in the east, confront the Siamese tribe, send people to the demon temple, and contact the eldest prince to help him. ”
Lucifer and Yasi behind him looked at each other, this woman is really ruthless!
At this time, while exerting pressure outside, he stirred up the water more and more muddy, and supported the old school of the eldest prince, rather than the reformist, which was tantamount to making the demon clan suffer a lot.
The old school advocates the peace of the demon clan, while the reformist school wants to turn the entire district time and space into their territory, and its intentions are sinister and staggering.
Elizabeth's purpose in proposing to support the old school was to make the demons the second Li Qing Dynasty, and at that time the temple was the only existence in this magical world.
Except for that human god, of course, but after all, it's a god.
Taking a step back, even if the eldest prince is not on the throne, the demons will inevitably have an internal conflict under the provocation, and their vitality will be greatly damaged, and the temple will still be a fisherman's profit.
Under both internal and external pressure, how can the demon clan have to retreat a layer of skin.
There was a hint of appreciation in the Holy Lord's eyes, and he said with joy, "Just do it, and leave this matter to you with full discretion." ”
Elizabeth's face did not change, but a coldness crossed her eyes as she turned to leave the temple.
Looking at the place where those people in the east were, his gaze was resolute.
Since you don't leave me an inch of land, then everyone will be displaced together.

Philadelphia is a small town in the Crusades, a pair of young men and women walking in the park in the center of Philadelphia, the woman is not the deep eyebrows that Philadelphia people are used to, but the heroism and righteousness between the eyebrows are inevitably bright.
"Philadelphia was a poor and backward place more than a hundred years ago, and it wasn't until the establishment of that textile factory that you would see the scene of tranquility, peace, and prosperity. ”
This is the time and space of the district, but Leo is still insisting on saying Li Qing's words, the young lady in a blue dress next to him is naturally Tao Zikite, after arriving in Philadelphia from Litt Island, Leo directly took Tao Zikite to see the textile factory, although it looks very simple, but the complexity of the internal operation is only known to the owner of the textile factory, and all doing business is the same truth, whether it is in that time and space.
"But the man who set up the mill was a prisoner who had been released from prison. ”
Leo's words finally caught the attention of the man next to him, who said softly,
"It's not easy. ”
Leo smiled vaguely bitterly, and then said,
"Yes, the prisoner was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for stealing a loaf of bread, and when he came out of the prison he was treated differently because of the prisoner's mark on the passbook, and it was a priest in a temple who took him in and gave him food and a place to rest. ”
Tao Ziyuan raised her eyebrows, "And then?
Leo smiled and shook his head, "No, the prisoner stole the silver candlesticks and utensils from the temple, and secretly left the temple that night, but he never thought that he would be caught by the local police officer, and when he was brought back to the temple, the prisoner's heart was like ashes, because the prisoner who was released from prison would face life imprisonment if he returned to the prison." It was one word from the pastor that changed his life. ”
Tao Ziyuan blinked her eyes and said softly, "That priest should have said that the things were not stolen by criminals." ”
Leo nodded, looked at the woman beside him, and smiled, "Just when the prisoner felt that his life was about to end completely, the priest said that those candlesticks and cutlery were given to the prisoner by himself. ”
Tao Zikite looked at the small lake next to the park, the green waves were rippling, if the willows supported the wind, but there was no scene of oranges in the south and oranges in the north.
"There are always some people in this world, although they are not real celestial beings, but they can bring more light and warmth to this world. ”
Leo stopped and looked at the woman's back, but more than that, admiring,
"Yes, no matter where you are in any time and space, where you are, there is always a warmth that belongs to it. ”
Tao Ziyuan smiled softly, "In order to make me less hostile to you, you didn't bother to think about it. ”
Leo laughed, "The longer I live, the more stories I know, but the things that are regarded as stories by others, I have seen with my own eyes." I've been trying to maintain the balance between humans and the Moon Demons, but some things will always go unsatisfactory, and I'm sorry for those in the karmic plane.
”
Tao Ziyuan said calmly, "You shouldn't say this to me. ”
Leo didn't continue, as if it were a dead knot that couldn't be opened, he just stepped forward, side by side with the man, and whispered, "Don't you want to live forever?"
Tao Ziyuan glanced at him and said with some surprise, "Don't you think that the loneliness of eternal life is more of an indescribable pain?"
Leo chuckled, "Some things are only one's own if you have experienced them yourself. Just listening to others, how do you know that the world is really boring?"
Tao Ziyuan was silent, as if she felt that what Leo said was very reasonable, but when she remembered Lingyun's appearance, she was afraid that one day she would become like that and see life as a game.
And at that moment, as if he had seen through his own thoughts, the man said, "You'll never be the kind of person you hate the most, because it's different in nature." ”
Tao Ziyuan was slightly stunned, looking at the person beside him, the latter looked at other places with a little weakness, Tao Ziyuan gritted his teeth hatefully, stepped on the heel of his feet and walked away along the path by the lake.
Leo was in hot pursuit, and there was such a scene in the park of Philadelphia where a certain duke chased his "wife", and the people around him were envious and surprised, some admired Leo's outstanding appearance, and some secretly laughed at the husband and wife.
Tao Ziyuan became more and more angry, he said how could that person be at ease, as if he knew what others were thinking, and he could hear the voices of others, it was really ...... Despicable and shameless!
Leo listened to the voice in her heart as he walked, and only felt that there was suffering, looking at the shoes under her feet when she first put them on, how uncomfortable she was still walking, why did she walk so fast now?
"Listen to me, every Xiyue ghost has its own abilities, and one of my abilities is to be able to hear the voices of others, but it doesn't work for everyone. ”
Leo was still struggling to explain, but Tao Ziyuan simply didn't listen to a word, even if Leo couldn't explain clearly, he could only watch the man return to the house on Litt Island and close the door, isolating himself from the outside.
Leo looked bitter, he didn't know if this shrinking ability was good or bad, and from the moment, it should be bad.
Sighing and walking down the stairs, the housekeeper on the first floor didn't seem surprised that she had expected such a scene.
But after Leo's last sigh as the sun set, the housekeeper finally couldn't help but speak,
"The four hundred and fifteenth sigh, I have long advised my master that this kind of thing will happen, but you don't listen. ”
Leo sighed again and made the housekeeper cry and laugh, and then listened, "I don't want to, but what she thinks in her heart is really unexpected." ”
The housekeeper laughed, "That's why you trust her so much because she's the only one you can hear your inner voice, right?"
Leo looked up at the white ceiling above his head and said helplessly, "How's going on over there?"
The housekeeper Zhengse reported, "Li Xiangqing really made a big fuss about the departure of the master and Miss Tao, and found out a large amount of silver from the homes of those ministers, which was used as the fee of the sailor, plus the architect you provided to him, it should be about the same." ”
Thinking of the man who took risks in an unfavorable situation to turn the tide, Leo couldn't help but feel a little sorry,
"It's a pity, if you were born a hundred years early, or if you are a person from time and space, how good it would be, it's a pity for such a person. ”
The housekeeper hooked the corners of her lips and did not make a sound.
Even if the master didn't say who the sorry person was, the housekeeper could still guess that only the head of a country could get such an evaluation and regret from the young master.
The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters are merry through the ages.

The most favored in the palace is still the white lady sent by Lord Leo at the beginning, originally many people thought that after the war in the homeland, how could the white lady fall out of favor, but I didn't expect that the favor was not only the same, but also more prosperous.
The palace and the outside have always been different, no matter how chaotic the outside is, the people inside are always in their own world.
The woman in a goose yellow palace dress has a gorgeous face, and an exotic style makes her still the most special one in the palace with beautiful women, and anyone wants to take a curious look, but most people dare not look up, so they can only bow their heads when they pass by her, and look at their feet tremblingly.
She looked at this lifeless place with cold eyes, almost forgot her name, and was by that person's side every day, especially after that war, she thought that she had to have a grudge against herself, even if it was grace, it was nothing more than perfunctory, but she looked at that person as if he was enchanted by her pillow, there was a kind of distraction, and there was no lack of surprise.
She has not forgotten that the person she used to be was also a high-spirited young man, in the words here, a personable young man, his eyes were intoxicated with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
However, now it seems that he prefers his bed, his frustration and sadness, helplessness and unwillingness to show it all in front of his eyes, and she feels that the person is undisguised.
The woman standing by the window watched the man approach from outside the courtyard, step by step towards herself, and suddenly remembered a story. Until the man took her in his arms and said,
"Beauty, I miss you so much. ”
Extreme, what does it mean?
I can't stop it, and I miss it heartily.
She stroked the dragon's whisker with the golden bead on the man's chest, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the concubine recently heard a story. In the story, King You of the Han Dynasty lost his country because of a smile from a beauty, and His Majesty made his concubines feel that they were the women who brought disaster to the country and the people. ”
The emperor's eyes were extremely gentle, but he also lost a lot of confusion, a little more clarity, looked at the world in front of him, and said with a chuckle,
"I want to give these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains to my concubine, but I'm afraid that in the end, I will burden my concubine. ”
The woman lowered her eyes with tears, grabbed the cuffs of the person who turned around to leave, and hugged the man who accompanied her day and night, and choked up,
"Your Majesty!"
She pulled him tightly, for fear that he would leave, and this was the first time that a woman who came to this deep palace confided her heart.
The Emperor turned around, wiped the tears from her eyes, took her back into his arms, and said softly, "I know, I know, but it doesn't matter. I don't mind being the Ghost King once, so what?"
Tears poured down and fell silently.
