Chapter 103: The Out of Tune Emperor

drove the horse all the way into the Manluo country, and Yang Jiu was also speechless when he entered the Shenma so easily...... It's a paradise for transnational fugitives and smugglers!

The architecture of Manluo Kingdom is a bit of a combination of Chinese and Western flavors, although it is more biased towards Chinese-style buildings and terraces, but you can see some stone carving buildings, so that Yang Jiu has a sense of immediacy to the old Shanghai, although the exquisite and magnificent Cheng dΓΉ is far less than the later generations, but Xiaobai said that there are already some Gothic style and Baroque style or something.

The connecting belt is rich in marble and basalt, so the buildings are mostly black and white, full of fashion. Of course, in this era, the retro and simple Chinese mansion symbolizes a kind of identity. According to Lige, many countries here are like this.

In addition to extracting toxins from some small animals or minerals, the toxins are more plant toxins. Therefore, from the moment he entered the city, Yang Jiu was amazed by the strange flowers and plants all over the city!

This is different from Jinyu, Jinyu planting flowers is good-looking, purple and red, and the visual effect is emphasized. But Manroe pursues pragmatism, which is really how strange it is, and some plants are so ugly that they can't bear to look at them directly!

Of course, what can be seen everywhere will not be harmful, like a small yellow flower that can be seen all the way, Xiaobai said that its floral fragrance has a detoxifying effect, and of course it also has a slight stimulant effect. Xiaobai also said that under this kind of excitement, people are often impulsive and defenseless, so it is time for merchants to slaughter fat sheep.

Yang Jiu also saw a lot of pitcher plants at the edge of a clearing, where there were some dead and strange small animal corpses, but there were no insects and flies coiling, it seemed that the pitcher plant was used to kill insects......

Most of the people here are wrapped a little tightly, and Yang Jiu understands when he thinks about it, he doesn't have comprehensive protection. Are you bare-chested and barebacked, waiting for others to sprinkle poison powder on you?

And they often wear a lot of small bags, or flowers and plants. But Yang Jiu understood. Jinyu's girl wears flowers, which is more beautiful, and Manro's men and women wear flowers, which is life!

"Hey. Boy, where is your home? Yang Jiu lowered the curtain and asked Erha Aaron, who was playing with the mud on the other side, ah no, playing with the telescope.

The telescope was still played by Yang Jiu when he was in Jinyu Chu Mansion, and he asked Chiyang to bring it back to Jinyu before, although Yang Jiu didn't use it, but it was still very useful for them to leave the song. It was strange for a while that Ge Chiyang was alone. When I got tired of playing, I threw it in the carriage. Today, when Aaron was discovered, he was once again ravaged.

"In ......," the boy suddenly wited after a second of thought, "do you know where I live and left me behind?" ”

"It's sent back." Yang Jiu corrected the wording.

"Then I won't sue you~" Aaron seemed to be very aware of Yang Jiu's conspiracy. "I'll go play with you, you have a lot of toys here~"

"We have something, not to play. We're going to a ghost town, and we can't save you. ”

"I can protect myself!" Aaron patted his cloth bag, which was full of his treasures and his weapons.

Yang Jiu rolled his eyes and moved to the young man. I flicked another brain on the redness and swelling that hadn't gone away. "Are you using labor and management as the director of the shelter? Labor and management don't have time to take care of you, and if you don't obey, I'll throw you down! Yang Jiu threatened viciously.

Aaron grinned and covered his forehead, looking at Yang Jiu pitifully. Pout. "If I am thrown down, are you really relieved?" He actually saw the reason why Yang Jiu left him before!

Yang Jiu raised his eyebrows. Yo, this kid isn't really stupid~ Ah, no, I'm not worried about Mao?! He's not mine!

"You still know that you are so stupid that you can do anything~" Yang Jiu laughed shamefully.

The boy is serious. "I think there should be a minimum of trust between people!"

"......" Yang Jiu supported his forehead.

Lige sneered on the side, gloating.

"Don't worry, I won't tell your secret~" The young man didn't see Yang Jiu's egg pain at all, and he patted his chest and swore an oath.

Yang Jiu raised his eyebrows. "Secret? What secrets do we have? "I don't think there was any important information on the road that was lurking before, right?

Aaron pointed at Yang Jiu, and then pointed at Lige and Chiyang. Said in turn: "Tianyin, small ions." Little Chichi. It's not Zixian and Xiangmo at all~ You must be doing something secret by concealing your identity~ It's also disguised~" The young man had a completely casual tone.

Yang Jiu was slightly surprised, and exchanged a look with Lige. Then he asked, "How do you see that we are transfigured?" "Lige, the disguise technique passed down by the teacher, can't even see the clue of the moon string! Moreover, Yang Jiu only called the fake name of leaving the song once, this kid actually remembered it?!

The young man still looked cute, and he didn't make a fool of himself, and betrayed himself very generously. He pointed to his nose: "I smell it!" The smell of all flowers and trees is different, and my nose is very smart~" It turned out that he judged the several flavors of plant materials used in the dough through the smell that ordinary people could not capture at all, and thus deduced the effect!

Talented! Anyway, it's the wrong canine...... →v→

These flavors Yang Jiu naturally didn't have a problem as long as he turned up his sense of smell sensitivity, but the key was that he would pay attention to these! So, this second goods is not useless? But Yang Jiu assured that if he really brought this kid, the trouble would definitely be more significant than the effect!

But compared to what will happen in the future, how to deal with this at present is the urgent need...... For no reason, Yang Jiu felt that he couldn't bear to throw this kid away - the good feelings between people were really inexplicable! Following the light dust, another example proves it!

Yang Jiu's heart was a little complicated, but looking at Aaron's eyes, he was very indifferent. "Are you so sure I'm not going to do anything to you?"

The boy laughed heartlessly. "Of course! I believe you! ”

It's just a heart-to-heart for someone you just knew...... Yang Jiu thought of the obscene uncle who wanted to kidnap Aaron before, and he was really not touched at all! I just want to be rude, this idiot is hopeless!

Yang Jiu shook his head and moved in the direction of Lige. Stay away from secondary goods, beware of infection! As a result, I was almost stumbled by the next sentence of the teenager!

"Brother Tianyin's smell is very good, he must be a good person!"

Labor and management don't want to be praised by a man who almost got on a thief ship! And is this a compliment, it's all canine intuition! Ma Ma save me! I feel insulted to my personality!

"My son's name is Shen Zixian." Yang Jiu was speechless and reminded.

Aaron hurriedly cooperated: "Brother Zixian! Away from Big Brother! Brother Kim! ”

Aaron thinks he's been very witty. But Lige was the first to express his dissatisfaction: "Boy, you can tell the difference clearly, and you only call Yin so affectionate~"

Yang Jiu hurriedly looked like a little man. Heartway. Little ions, your name is more slimy!

Aaron laughed stupidly, but was silent. laughed so much that he was bored from the song, and he withdrew his troops. Yang Jiu suddenly thought, could it be that this kid is still a wise and foolish type? But when he saw Aaron smiling stupidly and sneaking around the window corner to look at the street scene with a telescope, Yang Jiu thought that he really thought too much......

"Appeal !!" Chiyang's shout suddenly sounded outside the carriage. As the carriage was in turmoil, they just played with a sudden brake and stopped.

"Death is called Hanako, how many times have you said that you are not allowed to come in! There's another time to break your legs! A man's scolding voice rang out, and then a jumble of footsteps departed.

When Yang Jiu got out of the carriage, he saw a disheveled beggar lying in front of his carriage. The man was only inches away from the horse's hoof! I'm afraid I'm almost seriously injured...... But when Yang Jiu saw the beggar's situation clearly, he didn't think so.

The beggar rubbed his head and stood up, sighing helplessly: "Alas, isn't it just a little bit of food and drink, I didn't steal or rob, this world is ......?"

Yang Jiu blinked with interest.

1.85 meters tall, strong and not bad at martial arts; Even if he was thrown out of the overlord meal, he didn't scold him, he was very educated, and his standing posture was upright and high-spirited, even if he was unkempt, he couldn't cover his natural temperament of a superior; The eyes are blazing. The look is lazy but not negative. As a beggar, these are very unusual!

There are really stories everywhere in this world...... Yang Jiu was a little emotional, but these had nothing to do with me. Catching up with the Endless War is the number one priority!

Thinking so, Yang Jiu was about to tell Chiyang to set off again, but when he retracted his gaze, he happened to meet the man who turned around. However, they all staggered their gaze, and neither seemed to want to provoke each other. The man turned around and plunged into the crowd and left.

Yang Jiu originally thought that this was the end of it, but he didn't expect to see Chiyang's face change suddenly, and his eyes were surprised. Then without waiting for Yang Jiu to ask, he took the initiative to approach Yang Jiu and whispered, "Yan Cang, Yaoguang Monarch." ”

Yang Jiu was stunned for three seconds before he reacted! This development really made him a little confused!

"Sure?!"

Chiyang shook his head: "There was a mission target that was Yan Cang, who was very similar to this person, but his subordinates didn't dare to make a judgment. "In order to let Yang Jiu understand the situation. It was rare for Chiyang to say so many words at one time.

"Don't worry about so much! I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go! Chiyang, who is higher in martial arts than you and Yan Cang? ”

"Three years ago. The subordinates are slightly inferior. ”

"You pester him first, and protect yourself."

Chiyang has an order. A dodge disappears. The carriage just stopped on the street, and the people around were shocked by Chiyang and couldn't help but look over. But Yang Jiu couldn't care about these at the moment. As soon as his mind turned, he found that he knew too little about Yan Cang, so he hurriedly got into the carriage and explained the situation to Lige in three or two sentences, and then asked Yan Cang for information.

The king of a country has so much to say! But combined with the current situation, Lige selectively talked about a few points.

Yan Cang, a prodigy who ascended to the emperor at the age of twelve, has now been in power for sixteen years. The politics and Qingming, the great business road, pushed the already prosperous Yaoguang to a new height again! Be resolute, long-term, corporal, and natural! Virtuous monarch, Ming lord - the world praises.

Such a monarch is basically perfect, but it is not a rare species in the history of Yaoguang. Because of Yaoguang's atmosphere, this country has never been interested in war, and even the tragic battles for succession that are often staged in Anling and Yanzhi are almost impossible in Yaoguang!

It is said that Yan Cang once had plans to expand the army, but in addition to the obstruction of Anling and Yanzhi, it was Yan Cang himself who finally led the plan to die! The once ambitious young emperor only discovered since then that their country had long been stereotyped, not to mention that the people had become accustomed to living and working in peace and contentment, and even he, the initiator, felt that the days of counting money were faster than dancing knives and guns......

Of course, it doesn't mean that Yaoguang's army is really eating idle meals~ This is a matter of degree.

Yan Cang. This Yaoguang monarch, who can be regarded as the emperor's exemplary standard, basically inherited the fault of their Yaoguang royal family nine times out of ten - death. disappears at every turn, and picks every now and then. Although the big thing was not delayed. But it also really broke the hearts of the officials below. Fortunately, this is also a problem left over from history. Everyone is adapting well.

In addition, the monarchs of Yaoguang are quite dedicated, and there are no royal standard three palaces, six courtyards and seventy-two concubines, who are usually the only favored queens. But there have always been emperors who will fill the harem with a few more beauties, but at most it is Cheng dΓΉ with three wives and four concubines, which is still very different from the breeds/horses of other countries. And this is also the reason why Yaoguang's throne is more friendly.

Yan Cang is twenty-eight, and now he has a queen and two concubines. There are also two male pets. It's not the most dedicated, but it's definitely clean and self-conscious in the emperor. For example, An Lingye is only twenty years old, since he was still a prince, counting until now, the harem conservatively estimates that there are more than 300 celebrities! But isn't it still given by labor and management-Yang Jiu thought secretly.

Hearing the news, Yang Jiu was already eight points sure that the beggar was Yan Cang! As for why he was reduced to eating rice on the streets of Manro, Yang Jiu didn't know the truth, but he always felt that it was basically imaginable......

Hey, you can hit Yaoguang's first thick leg by hitting anyone casually, Yang Jiu thought beautifully. If you don't take advantage of the right time and place and hug this unconventional emperor well, and calculate the endless battle fiercely, you will be too sorry for your luck!

Wait for Yang Jiu to arrive. Chiyang and the man are facing each other in a back alley. I don't know if Chiyang forced it over or the man took the initiative to lead it, but this kind of occasion with no outsiders is naturally the best.

Seeing Yang Jiu appear, the man thought to himself, the main master had finally come forward. But there was still an innocent look on his face: "This uncle, the little ones are so pitiful, do you still want to rob the little ones?" ”

Yang Jiu had some indigestion. The lord of a country can really put down his body!

"You see I'm so good-looking, like I can rob? I just see you pitiful and want to help you. ”

The man's eyes rolled, and he looked grateful to Dade: "Oh, uncle." You're a bodhisattva! The little belly is hungry, I don't know if the uncle can be kind enough to give something to satisfy the stomach~~"

"Sir, I've always been generous. A meal is too trivial, I'm a good person to do it to the end. Let's just send you home~ The distance to Yaoguang is still so far, and it is estimated that you will be very tired of hiking now. But I can't get in the Yaoguang Palace, I have to rely on you to give me a pass~"

"......" The man was speechless for a while. While thinking that this person blocked himself really already knew, it was too bad to think about it and act with him when he knew it! However, since he guessed the identity of the emperor, he dared to call himself a master in front of the emperor - what is the identity of this person?

Yang Jiu looked at the man who didn't run away and didn't make trouble, and asked, "Don't deny it?" ”

"No denial." The man waved his hand.

"It's worthy of being the boss of Yaoguang, it's refreshing!" Yang Jiu hooked his lips and smiled, and threw the oiled paper bag in his hand into Yan Cang's hand, "I bought it when I came over just now." ”

Yan Cang was indeed hungry, smelled the aroma of the oil paper bag, and did not hesitate to open it, pick up the bun and nibble on it. While eating, he praised his owner: "You are really a good man!" I haven't eaten in a long time! ”

"The restaurant before?"

"Alas, don't mention it, I was bumped into as soon as I got into the kitchen!"

"How many thugs can you handle?"

"How can I say that I am also a person with status, how unauthentic it is to bully the little people of other countries~~"

"You're quite principled~ The principled emperor, how are you going to repay the kindness of my five buns?" Yang Jiu smiled.

Yan Cang swallowed the third bun and said generously: "What else can I do, you have also seen it, there is no fatal thing to ask for money!" ”

Yang Jiu looked disdainful: "Who cares about your life, are you an emperor or a bandit!" A second lack~ Seriously, I asked you about something, can't you make something about the endless war going to your territory? ”

"Yes! I... The emperor just wanted to pick them up, and he was stunned and touched his bag in the country of heavy dreams, so he fell here...... Hey, it's all sad and tearful~" He touched the corners of his eyes as he spoke.

Is such a down-to-earth and weak chicken emperor really dull tape? Yang Jiu mourned for three seconds for the people of Yaoguang across the country!

"Come on, if you really want to pick up someone, can you run out alone? It's not like you want to throw a high-sounding excuse to come out and make waves~" Yang Jiuyi said in a word.

"Bosom friend!" Yan Cang shouted. He took the last bite of the bun and burped beautifully. Then he stretched out his hand to Yang Jiu: "Is there water?" A little dry mouth. ”

Yang Jiu looked disgusted. "You're a little bit of a debt collector, okay? The face of the Yaoguang royal family has been lost by you! ”

"Eh, the good people you said did it to the end~ And I was not polite to you because I got along with you~"

"Thank you for looking up to me! You are stupid, you have eaten five steamed buns on an empty stomach for a long time and still have to drink water, and you want to explode and die! ”

"......" Yan Cang was a little sneering. Then he suddenly flew up to the roof and lay on the tiles. Basking in the afternoon sun, rubbing his bulging belly, he was as beautiful as a seventy-year-old man.

This was what Yang Jiu saw when he flew up to the roof of the house later. I don't know why, he just wants to step on this man's face!

"What is the reason that Boundless War told you?" Yang Jiu asked.

"Treasure hunting."

Yang Jiu was stunned, "He's sincere." ”

"It's very generous, promise me half of the treasure."

After all, the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, Yang Jiu thought. "You're also very generous, although he only brought a few people. But they are all top masters, and with the reputation of the god of war, you are really relieved. ”

"He was very sincere, and offered to ask me to send someone to follow them. But I vetoed it. ”

Yang Jiu looked at Yan Cang suspiciously.

Yan Cang looked at Yang Jiu, his expression indifferent, as if he suddenly became a little more stern and heavy. "It's too dangerous, and most of the people who have been there are dead, so I don't need to send my people to death. Let's hope Boundless War will be the first exception......"

Yang Jiu raised his eyebrows. "I thought you'd want him to hang there, so that you could weaken An Ling's strength~"

"Hang? Die? Oh, you speak so strangely. You are from Anling, right, Anling's words are still like this...... Personally, I still appreciate Boundless. Of course, we don't want a god of war to die outside the battlefield. On the other hand, once Anling's strength is greatly reduced, the first to react will definitely be Yanzhi. If Yan Zhi really gets his hands on it, then the next one is our Yaoguang. Although Yaoguang Anling has not formed an alliance, it has always been a relationship of cold lips and teeth, and of course I have to hope that Anling is good. ”

"I just found out that you still have the appearance of an emperor~ I see the overall situation very thoroughly, and it is worth encouraging, but in private, I advise you to have less contact with the war without bounds, and the character of the goods is not good." Yang Jiu never forgot to slander the tall image of Zhan Wuya in the hearts of others.

Yan Cang glanced at Yang Jiu curiously. "You have a grudge against him?"

"Yes, the hatred of taking a wife. Didn't you see me running to grab the treasure with him~"

Yan Canghu looked at Yang Jiu suspiciously, and faintly felt in his heart that this person was lying a lot. "Speaking of which, I haven't asked your name yet~ I don't know my brother's name?"

"Shen Zixian."

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's true? ”

"Fake."

Yan Cang was stunned. Then he couldn't cry or laugh: "You are really ......" People are indeed lies. But people admit it and they are justified!

"Have you had enough sun? I'm in a hurry to get on the road, hurry. Get up and follow me for a change of gear. Yang Jiu impatiently kicked Yan Cang's calf.

"Be careful, I sentence you to assassinate the emperor!"

"Is this your territory? If you want to cut off your head, go back to your house first! Yang Jiu didn't pay much attention to Yan Cang, and after saying this, he jumped off the roof and walked out of the alley.

Yan Cang got up, looked at Yang Jiu's back condescendingly, and muttered: "It's really reassuring, aren't you afraid that the emperor will run away directly......

After a cup of tea, when Yang Jiu saw Yan Cang in the inn who had finished washing and changing into new clothes, he couldn't help but nod again and again. "It's really a joy for people to run by clothes, horses to saddles, and dogs to run with bells. You should pay attention to the point in the future, and try not to make yourself like that, which will affect the city's appearance and hinder the view. ”

Yan Cang smiled bitterly: "Are you praising me or hurting me?" ”

Yang Jiu winked playfully. "Guess~~" Then he put his hands behind his back, turned around and left.

"......" Yan Cang looked at Yang Jiu's slender and tall back, and his eyes were deep for a while.

This person is interesting.

I just don't know what bad water is in my stomach...... But since he is a person who has been involved in the endless war, he is definitely not an ordinary person.

Yang Jiu and Yan Cang walked out of the inn, and the carriage that Chi Yang had just driven over was already parked outside the door. Yang Jiu left Yan Cang to walk behind, got into the carriage by himself, and asked Chiyang to find a restaurant and have lunch.

"Huh! Zixian, you are very unkind. I was about to have a big meal, so I was sent away with five buns first! Yan Cang complained outside the carriage.

"It's nice to have something to eat!" After Yang Jiu said a perfunctory sentence, he no longer paid attention to Yan Cang, and instead informed Lige of the situation.

The sound of the song is in secret: "So." What are you going to do? He won't be against Boundless, and he won't send us men. I can't help with half of it, and my whereabouts are exposed! He was very optimistic about the plan to take Yan Cang on the road. Of course, he actually hated that there was another person who wanted to take away Yang Jiu's attention and the place where he slept, what would he say?

Yang Jiu smiled meaningfully: "Do you think that the battle is really for Yan Cang's heart?" ”

Lige was stunned, frowned, and then suddenly! "To block you!"

Yang Jiu hooked his lips and flicked Lige's forehead: "It's not too stupid." ”

Lige slapped Yang Jiu's hand away dissatisfied: "I'm not that little ghost. Naturally, he was referring to Aaron. Yang Jiu's method of dealing with Aaron is to play his brain.

Yang Jiu suddenly leaned over and pecked Lige's lips. "So accepted?"

Lige's eyes flickered, licked his lips, and seduced: "I don't mind if you go a little deeper~ Of course, the premise is to throw that little ghost out!" ”

"......" Yang Jiu was speechless, and no longer continued this topic that would stimulate the song. Strong Zhenglou, "Naturally, I don't dare to take too many people to commit crimes across borders." Relying on Yan Cang is the most time-saving, labor-saving, and cost-saving approach. It's a pity that he still miscalculated his calculations. Yan Cang was more of a good emperor than he thought. ”

Lige squinted his eyes: "You admire him very much~"

"It's okay. But you must know that an emperor without ambition is not a good emperor, and now everyone thinks that Yaoguang should be a Taoyuan Township that has no quarrel with the world, but in fact, no one can guarantee that he really has no idea about dominating the world. Those who get the Son of God win the world, and compared with the savior status that the common people respect, these people value the political use of the Son of God more. Once Zhan Wuya finds out that there is no possibility of cooperation with me, maybe he will stab my identity to Yan Cang, and if Yan Cang really makes a move, it doesn't matter if he catches me or not. If I have enmity with both countries, then neither of us can help him, and he will have one less opponent. ”

"But what if Yan Cang doesn't make a move? Wouldn't the endless war make a wedding dress for Yaoguang? ”

"So he either doesn't say anything. Either you will do something to tie yourself to Yaoguang. ”

Lige thought about it and noticed another problem. "If An Ling Yaoguang offends you, isn't this forcing you to defect to Yanzhi? Then the battle is endless, it is better to give you to Yaoguang! ”

"So, it's the best thing to do with Endless Ending. But he had to worry that when I was attacked by him, he took the initiative to pull Yaoguang as an ally, and here he returned to the previous question, he would tie himself to Yaoguang together, and ask Yan Cang to borrow someone to probably want to create such an illusion. Then once again, I will go back to the Yanzhi candidate you were worried about just now. ”

Lige frowned: "Then isn't this a strange circle that can't be escaped!" ”

"Indeed, because you were wrong in the first place! He will never fight against me at the moment, and he will definitely hand me a friendly olive branch as soon as he sees me. But my attitude is obvious. It's good that I don't poke him to death! Therefore, I cannot reveal the identity of the Son of God this time. We'll just get the treasure before they do, and we'll just be disgusting with him~"

I was speechless for a while. After so many circles, the result is so simple? "Isn't Yan Cang still useless?"

"How can it be useless. In case there are too many treasures, you can carry them out alone! ”

......"Okay, it turns out that Yan Cang, an emperor, is just a coolie in Yang Jiu's eyes!" The moment I left the song, I was happy.

However, only Yang Jiu knew, how could he let go of the battle so easily...... I blame myself for having a good memory now, and I can't forget his miserable appearance and almost broken heartbeat when I saw Lige in the Los Angeles dungeon......
