Chapter 41 Like a Lady
All of them here are smart people, and in this turbulent season of the highlanders, they still have the leisure to explore the old things of the two former heroes, because one of these two people can represent the nine divisions of the grassland, and the other represents the supreme command ability of the Central Plains Empire, and even the best commander of mankind.
If Xiangliu represents the will of the demons, perhaps, from tomorrow onwards, it is the Highlanders who need to activate the sacred oath the most, not the steppe barbarians, and the Highlanders need the support of these two.
Yushi and Xituxiao believe that the five-person ruling must be very, very interested in the old affairs of Ant and Tuoba Shuang, and the willingness of these two people to confess their relationship and past in public is itself to show an attitude and send a message to the five-person government.
The five people who have been in power for a long time have been tested in the political arena, and they will definitely understand their intentions.
These two men were once the most powerful and the best in the world, and their attitudes and opinions are likely to affect the future course of the situation, especially the ant, who has a wealth of experience in warfare, and his insight and ability to grasp the situation are far superior to all others, and he can give the most powerful advice to the highlanders.
Now is different from the past, after the lifting of the aura taboo, human beings re-enter the world of magic, and the highlanders are facing the transformation from a republic to royal power, many sudden problems are intertwined, things will become more and more complicated, more and more tricky, but the ant is right, people's hearts will not change, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and sometimes no matter how complex the problem is, as long as you grasp the source of interests, the problem can be solved.
Politics is a game of interests of several parties, and small talk is sometimes more suitable for solving problems than serious discussions.
As for Nan Wan'er, no one can understand whether she is just taking the opportunity to mess around or really trying to force Ji Buyun to give her a love token, Ji Buyun knows that this elf princess seems to be crazy, but in fact, she is as careful as a hair, and everything she says and does has its intentions behind it.
Ji Buyun habitually chose to ignore Nan Wan'er's question, and he asked Tuoba Shuang: "Is the Prairie Wizard Academy still responsible for cultivating generals?"
Ant interjected: "The Imperial Dragon Temple, the Highlander Priest's Courtyard and the Prairie Wizard's Academy were originally the three major magic holy places of human beings, after the aura was sealed, the Dragon Temple was still cultivating dragon guards and dragon guards, without the support of spells, it was just a vain name; ”
Nan Wan'er hugged Ji Buyun's arm and shook it: "Little brother, little brother, where is the token of love?"
Tuoba Shuang asked Nan Wan'er, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is what you just said to the little princess at the gate of the Senate true?"
Nan Wan'er said: "Of course it's true, sister eldest princess, she is also an elf princess, how can she joke about such a thing?"
Tuoba Shuang said: "Just because you are a noble elf princess, no one will believe that you are joking about this kind of thing, so you successfully bluffed the little princess of Tuqi." ”
Nan Wan'er hugged Ji Buyun's arm and said, "Little brother, you told the eldest princess sister, did you say that as long as the high priest's sister agrees, you will marry someone else as a little wife." ”
Ji Buyun did say this, when he said this, he thought Nan Wan'er was joking, but now he can neither follow Nan Wan'er's words nor refute them, so he has to be silent.
Nan Wan'er looked at Tuoba Shuang with a smile, and said proudly: "Sister Eldest Princess, you see, people didn't lie to you, right?"
Although it is common for capable men to have three wives and four concubines, it is absolutely shocking for a noble elf princess to be committed to being a little wife to a mortal, and the elves belong to the god clan and have a much higher status than ordinary royal families.
Tuoba Shuang looked carefully at the little beauty with green hair and a hot body in front of her, shook her head, and said to the ants: "The current world, the current young people, I really can't understand it, Ji Mo is so infatuated, his son is like this, you say, did you teach it?"
Before the ant could speak, Nan Wan'er interjected: "Sister eldest princess, don't complain about the little brother for this, it's the father of the family who wants others to do this, and the people themselves are willing." ”
The Elf Peacock King is a strong man, in charge of Haotian Tongtianyuan, the grassland people believe in animism, worship many gods, the wizard's house enshrines his god, Tuoba Shuang can't understand how such a big man actually instructed his charming daughter to marry a mortal like Ji Buyun as a little wife.
Although Ji Buyun is handsome, but for cultivators, strong mana is everything, the wizard's academy is different from the priest's academy that has a lack of inheritance due to internal divisions, and it has a complete book from three hundred years ago, Tuoba Shuang knows that when it comes to the stage of sainthood, the practitioner can abandon the physical body, the original god incarnation, and then he can become whatever he wants, but when he reaches the stage of sainthood, what cultivator will care about his appearance?
It was getting late and late, Ji Cheng, who had not spoken, got up and said a few words in the ant's ear, and the ant asked Tuoba Shuang, "Shuang'er, do you have dinner here at night?"
Tuoba Shuang shook his head and said, "In the evening, the Great Wizard is going to have a banquet in the Prairie Pavilion, and I must go back." ”
The ant said, "Okay, I'll send you back." ”
Nan Wan'er said, "Sister Eldest Princess, your story is not finished yet?"
Tuoba Shuang said: "This time there is not enough time, next time, Your Royal Highness Princess, next time I will invite you to the Prairie Pavilion as a guest, and by the way, discuss the matter of rune weapons." ”
Nan Wan'er asked, "Do you have anything delicious at the Prairie Lodge?"
This elf princess is inseparable from the true nature of a foodie in three sentences.
Tuoba Shuang said: "Our restaurant is definitely not as rich in variety and fancy as the Central Plains Restaurant, and the barbecue with grassland characteristics is still delicious." ”
Nan Wan'er said: "People have eaten the barbecue made by Master Ant, and it is really delicious. ”
Tuoba Shuang smiled, "That's what I taught him." ”
Nan Wan'er cheered and happily accepted the invitation of the eldest princess.
After Tuoba Shuang said goodbye to everyone, the ant took the Ji brothers to send her back to the Prairie Pavilion.
After Nan Wan'er sent them away, she honestly and unceremoniously said to Ji Cheng: "Earl Ji, Steward Ji, you have heard it, they will be the little brother's little wife in the future, can you count it as half of your master?"
Ji Cheng said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess is polite, there is no son, you are also a distinguished guest of our Central Plains Empire." ”
Nan Wan'er said: "Since you are a distinguished guest, you won't fool people with any bean rice or wheat rice, right?"
Ji Chengdao: "Don't dare, don't dare, Your Royal Highness the princess, please command, what do you want to eat at night?"
Nan Wan'er actually has limited knowledge of the special dishes and dim sum of the Central Plains Hotel, so she pretended to think about it and said: "Eat whatever is delicious, you can watch and do it, and prepare a box of side dishes and a box of snacks for others, and people will take them back to the high priest's sister, he is the eldest wife of the little brother, and people have to please her." ”
said it seriously, even You Shi and Xi Tuxiao believed it, and the two pondered: This is big news, and I will report to the five people immediately when I go back.
The two of them were going to leave after the ants, but now they sat down, and the elven princess was going to serve a husband with the noble high priest, which was a great thing for the highlanders in times of danger, and they had to listen clearly and accurately in any case.
Ao Xianwei and the two of them are looking forward, and the two of them sit, and he can only sit with them.
Ji Cheng went out and instructed the kitchen to arrange meals for Ji Buyun and the others.
Xitu Xiao looked at Nan Wan'er, who was holding Ji Buyun's arm, and stopped talking.
Nan Wan'er said with a smile: "People know what you think, it's impossible, it's someone's business to marry the little brother, and your 20,000 rune weapons are indispensable for a piece of silver this time." ”
Xitu said: "Her Royal Highness the princess has misunderstood, I want to ask, if we want to equip 10,000 Praetorian Guards, how many rune weapons should we prepare normally?"
Nan Wan'er leaned her head sideways on Ji Buyun's shoulder and thought for a while, and said: "10,000 people and 20,000 pieces of equipment are only enough for one battle, and 40,000 pieces should be prepared normally. ”
Xitu Xiao and You Shi glanced at each other and said, "How much silver do you need for 40,000 rune weapons?"
Nan Wan'er said: "Twenty million, this is the lowest price, and no one can be less." ”
"We will order 40,000 pieces, Your Royal Highness the Princess, half of them will be given in silver, and half will be bartered." ”
Nan Wan'er said: "Okay, tomorrow you go to the barracks of the priest's house, and I will let Nanhua talk to you in detail." ”
Ao Xian was overjoyed when he heard their conversation, he waved his arm excitedly, and asked Ji Buyun with a smile: "Brother, can you ask Earl Ji to prepare some wine for us?"
Whenever the highlanders are happy, wine is indispensable, and the identity of She, Xitu, and Xiao respects themselves, Ao Xian asked at this time, and the two also looked at Ji Buyun together.
Ji Buyun said with a smile: "Commander Ao rest assured, when you come to Earl Ji, the wine will definitely be full." ”
Ao Xian said: "Our brothers have been together for so long, you know my brother's thoughts, and now that my dream has finally come true, I have to drink a few glasses." ”
How many glasses do you drink? Ji Buyun smiled secretly, there are generally only two situations when the highlanders who are addicted to alcohol stop drinking and do not drink, one is that everyone can't get up after drinking, and the other is that the wine is gone.
There will be no shortage of wine in the Central Plains Hotel, the high priest is accompanying the god of flowers, and there is no time to make an appointment with him, so you can accompany these people here tonight to have a drink, communicate and communicate feelings, there are many things that will trouble them in the future, and you can't use the identity of the high priest to press them in everything.
Ji Buyun smiled: "I also just want to have a few drinks with Archdeacon Youshe." ”
You said: "Gongzi Ji is polite, my archdeacon is really nothing in front of you, if Gongzi takes a fancy to me and calls me brother, I will be satisfied." ”
Ji Buyun said: "The archdeacon is polite. ”
Nan Wan'er interjected: "Little brother, you are polite, you have four identities, and that identity calls him a brother who can afford him." ”
Ji Buyun said: "Wan'er, don't mess around. ”
Xitu Xiao knew Nan Wan'er's tireless character, so he didn't dare to interject, Ao Xian couldn't help but ask: "What are the four identities of Brother Ji?"
Nan Wan'er moved her finger and said: "First, the high priest's sister is the most noble of your highlanders, and the little brother is about to marry the high priest's sister as his wife, so can he be said to be the second most noble of your highlanders?"
Xituxiao saw the way out at this time, and interjected: "Brother is the royal nobles of the Central Plains Empire, the son of the emperor himself, even a big man like Count Ji has to kneel and bow with him. ”
Ao Xian asked, "What about the third one?"
Nan Wan'er said proudly: "What is the identity of the family?"
Ao Xian replied honestly: "You are an elf princess." ”
Nan Wan'er said: "After the little brother marries the high priest's sister, he will marry someone else as a little wife, and then he will be the son-in-law of the elf royal family, isn't this identity noble enough?"
Ji Buyun really couldn't listen to it, he said to Nan Wan'er: "Wan'er, don't talk nonsense." ”
Nan Wan'er hugged his arm, pouted and said aggrievedly: "Little brother, where are people talking nonsense?"
Ji Buyun said: "Wan'er, your status is noble, you can't always joke about your little wife or something, and there is no reason to insult your identity." ”
Nan Wan'er jumped up from the chair with his arm and said, "Little brother, what the eldest princess sister said is really right, you and Master Ant haven't learned anything else, you learn to speak first, and you will live up to the woman who has always been in love with you when you turn around." ”
This sentence was indeed said by Tuoba Shuang, Ji Buyun knew that she would never be able to win if she quarreled with Nan Wan'er, and the best choice at this time was to shut up.
Nan Wan'er saw that Ji Buyun stopped talking, sat down with his arm in her arms, deliberately leaned her head on Ji Buyun's shoulder, and said to a few people triumphantly: "People's little brother is honest and trustworthy, and he won't be like his master, what he said doesn't count." ”
Ao Xian asked: "Your Royal Highness Princess, you said that Brother Ji has four identities, but there is still one missing?"
Nan Wan'er just wanted to say that Ji Buyun was a dragon man, but Ji Buyun tapped her lightly with her finger underneath, and she immediately said: "Master Ant is the God of War, he is a disciple of the God of War, is this identity enough?"
Ao Xian said: "Enough, enough, everyone admires His Highness the God of War, and it is a great blessing for His Highness the God of War to train him for ten years." ”
When everyone was chatting, Ji Cheng took the maid to serve wine and food, and after a few people were humble, they sat down separately, Nan Wan'er didn't care about others as usual, and first lowered her head and munched happily.
Ji Buyun quietly asked Ji Cheng if he had let Qian Seventeen, Ji Cheng said that he had let him, Qi Qi said that he was Ji Buyun's subordinate, and he refused to come in at all, so he had to set a table for him and a few guards outside, and Nan Wan'er's maid refused to sit at the same table with Qi Seventeen, and opened a separate table for them.
Ji Buyun went out in person, accompanied Qian Seventeen to drink three bowls of wine in a row, and repeatedly thanked Qi Seventeen for helping this morning, and Qi Seventeen said: "Brother Ji is polite, the younger brother is your subordinate, this is the responsibility of the younger brother, no matter how polite Brother Ji is, he will not treat the younger brother as his own brother." ”
Ji Buyun gave way again, and Qian Qiqi pointed to the other guards and said, "Brother Ji, let's go back, Brother Ji is here, these brothers are embarrassed to let go of drinking." ”
Ji Buyun returned laughing.
After he sat down, Ji Cheng personally got up and poured wine for everyone, raised his glass and said: "Since Ji Cheng took office as the Western pastor, thanks to your care, especially the matter of my son-in-law, you are even more bothered, a little sparse food, not a respect, only this wine is brought by me from the Central Plains Empire, please drink a few more glasses, this cup I will do first as a respect." ”
After speaking, he raised his glass and dried, and Count Shi, Xituxiao, and Ao Xian Liandao were polite, and several people also raised their glasses.
Ji Chengdao: "My son-in-law's good thing is coming, this is a major event for the highlanders, and it is also a major event for our Central Plains Empire, His Majesty the Emperor and Taifu Gong instructed me to do this well, what advice do you have?"
Yu Shi is the first confidant of the five rulers, and he has the most say in this matter, he said: "Count Ji is polite, our five consuls have made up their minds to do a good job in the affairs of the high priest at all the material and financial resources of the highlanders. ”
Ji Chengdao: "I have discussed with Lord Buyun, after all, it is our son-in-law who marries the high priest, and we are responsible for all the expenses." ”
You Shi said with a smile: "The earl should say this to the five consuls, we are just responsible for listening, Earl Ji, the younger brother will give you a drink." ”
Wine is really a good thing, a few glasses of wine in the stomach, a few people's words gradually increased.
Xitu said: "Although the people of the highlands are unstable now, there is an oracle of Haotian on the enthronement of the High Priest as the king, and no one can stop it, everyone is holding back their strength to perform in front of the adults, hoping to be recognized by the adults, and the high priest will ascend the throne as the king in the future, and he can get a good position in the court." ”
Yu Shidao: "Let's just say that today's purchase of rune weapons, without the acquiescence of the High Priest, the five ruling lords will not dare to say anything on their own." ”
Ji Cheng raised his glass and persuaded another glass of wine, and said: "The emperor canonized my son-in-law has long known about it, and it stands to reason that after the son-in-law is enthroned, he should rush back to the imperial capital to face St. Shan'en as soon as possible, because of the wedding with the high priest, it has been delayed for many days, and after they get married, they must go back to the imperial capital of the Central Plains Empire. ”
Xitu said: "Is it Brother Ji who goes back by himself, or does he take the High Priest with him?"
Ji Chengdao: "The high priest has a noble status, but according to the etiquette of the Central Plains Empire, if she marries our son, she has to act according to the will of the son, and she should go together this time." ”
Situ said, "In this extraordinary period, it is difficult for the High Priest to leave, right?"
"I don't think it's a problem, the five-person government will not only not stop it, but will also work hard to promote it." ”
Situxiao asked, "Archdeacon, why is that?"
"As long as the High Priest has not ascended the throne as king, the five archons will not be distracted from her. ”
Xitu thought for a while, and immediately understood the joint, and said: "It's still the archdeacon who is insightful, and my brother admires it." ”
Nan Wan'er raised her head at this time, her eyes widened and she said, "Little brother, people are also going to the Central Plains Empire with you." ”
Ao Xian deliberately asked: "Your Royal Highness Princess, Brother Ji went back to face Saint Shane, what are you doing with you?"
Nan Wan'er said: "Don't think that people don't know, the emperor will definitely have rewards when they go back, although people don't look down on those rewards, but etiquette can't be abolished, what people say is also the little brother's little wife." ”
Several people burst into laughter, and Ji Cheng, who had always been afraid of Nan Wan'er, almost fell off his chair with laughter.
Several people talked and laughed, took turns toasting, and finally Nan Wan'er replaced the wine with tea and toasted them.
The wine was drunk until midnight, and Archdeacon Yu Shi had already gotten under the table, and Xituxiao and Ao Xian lay on the table and said nothing.
After Ji Buyun saw through the mirror, he never got drunk when he drank, and Ji Cheng was also massive, but the two of them were not very good.
After Ji Cheng arranged for someone to send You Shi and the others away, he pulled Ji Buyun and said: "Childe, the water here is too deep for the highlanders, and it will become more and more chaotic in the future, Childe had better not get involved, according to what Lord Buyun and I discussed last time, leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible after marriage." ”
Ji Buyun said: "I understand, I will find a way to leave as soon as possible." ”
On the way back, Nan Wan'er asked the maid to stay away from the left and right, and she immediately followed Ji Buyun and said, "Little brother, people always think that the five people in power want to put all the responsibility on the high priest's sister?"
