Chapter 171
Padicas, Doge's Palace. ()
Dias looked lamentingly at the letter that had been handed to him by the royal knight. He knew that it was a summons letter from King Serantoth of Assi, and once he took it and went to the capital, then his career would most likely come to an end.
In the battle of Thessaly, his army was almost completely wiped out. Although the Fallen Feather Army did not attack Padiccas, the battle still ended in a crushing defeat for the Assis dynasty. Among them, Dias has an unshirkable responsibility.
Watching the royal knight go out, he looked at the letter in his hand, and there was a hint of strong unwillingness in his eyes. Could it be that the governor of his own dignified kingdom should be reduced to a mortal like this?
No, he is not reconciled!
Beside him, the governor's wife, Sevina, who had been arguing with him a few days ago, also forgot the grievances of a few days ago at the moment, but looked at him with some concern and said: "Master, think about it, you have worked so hard for the country all these years, and you just took this opportunity to recuperate your tired body." ”
Savina didn't expect that her kind advice completely angered Dias, and with a "snap", her still charming face had been slapped firmly.
"Hmph, what do women and Taoists know? Even you want me to rest? Lao Tzu has led troops to fight in wars in his life, and how many times have he won them. If you lose once, you will be dismissed from my job, what is the reason!" Diaz's entire face was distorted with anger.
Savina only covered her face and cried but didn't dare to resist, and for a while she felt that the husband with a hideous face in front of her became strange.
Dias paced back and forth irritably for a while, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and said impatiently to Severia: "Cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, cry, don't get up quickly, follow me to release Irina, let's go to the capital." ”
Savina stopped crying when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "Are you finally willing to let Irina out?"
Dias didn't answer her question, but squinted his eyes and said, "Do you remember? When we were still in the capital before, the third prince used to pursue Irina madly. The third prince is His Majesty's own uncle, and he also serves as a tutor and one of the branch deans of Tianyuan Academy. You said...... If the third prince speaks, His Majesty won't dare to worry about his uncle's face, right?"
Sevina was startled, she pointed at Dias in disbelief, and said in a trembling voice: "You...... You, you should ...... Could it be ......? The third prince is already in his fifties!"
"Hmph. Dias snorted coldly again and said in a deep voice: "Those who achieve great things are not informal. What's more, don't tell me that you haven't been able to see it? After my daughter came back this time, it was obvious that she was not perfect. I didn't want to show off my face, so I locked her up to make her reflect on herself. I am still afraid that the third prince will dislike her. ”
"You...... How did you...... How can you say that about your own daughter?" Hearing Dias say that her daughter who was originally the pride of the sky was not worthy of an old man in her fifties, Sevina felt sour in her heart.
The mainland does not attach much importance to the concept of chastity, but there are still some scruples for the royal family. But the three princes have already had wives, and the concubines have married several rooms, where is there such scruples?
Dias looked upset and didn't want to talk to her anymore. Instead, he walked outside on his own.
Inside the cold, damp prison. Sitting on a rotten wooden bed, Elena didn't know that her father was about to betray her to an old man in his fifties, but a few days of blows were enough for her to be disheartened.
When she left the Kingdom of Falling Feathers, she thought she had finally escaped. But she didn't expect that just after she came back, she went to prison again.
And even more ironically, when my mother secretly came to visit her a few days ago, she told her. She had been waiting for the boy to clash with her father. It's finally happening.
But in a matter of days, the winner was decided - it was my father who had lost miserably!
The father, whom he trusted so much, was thought that he could kill his father, and in the end the whole army was wiped out, and he fled from the battlefield alone like a lost dog.
From that moment on, Irina knew that her father's career was over. The total annihilation of the 500,000-strong army is the responsibility of the general's father.
And without his father, the El family has lost its former glory.
She hated that young man at the moment, it was he who ruined his life! Now, he has dragged his family into a trough.
At the same time, she also felt deeply powerless because of his strength. That boy, for him, may be just a plaything in his life. And the El family is just a stepping stone that he has trampled on at will in his life.
Irina looked up to the sky and smiled poignantly. A tear slipped down her delicate face.
At the exit of the teleportation array in Huayue City, Ruoleni Province, as soon as Zheng Xiyuan walked out of the gate, several taxi drivers driving magic crystal taxis surrounded him.
"Hey, this young master, where are you going? One gold coin can charter a car for an hour. Very cost-effective. A guy greeted him warmly.
Zheng Xiyuan looked at these taxis, but saw that they were all labeled with the Heavenly Evil Chamber of Commerce. He knew that Magic Crystal taxis were already popular in the province of Joleni, but he didn't expect there to be so many.
Zheng Xiyuan was just about to get on a random car and go to the place he was going, but he only heard a whistle in the distance. A fiery red Heavenly Evil Enzo had slowly stopped beside Zheng Xiyuan.
The drivers looked at the charming beauty in the car, and then looked at Zheng Xiyuan, secretly envious, but they also knew that this business would not be successful. Scattered.
Xue Ruolan on Enzo smiled at Zheng Xiyuan: "Boss, why don't you get in the car soon?"
Zheng Xiyuan smiled, opened the door of the passenger seat and sat down.
After getting into the car, Zheng Xiyuan saw that Xue Ruolan was the only one, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What about the snow marks?"
Xue Ruolan glanced at him and said, "Do you still know that little maid of yours, I haven't come to see her for so long, this girl has been talking about you." I'm usually busy, and I'm afraid she'll be lonely. So I hired a few etiquette teachers to teach her etiquette. It just so happens that you are going to send her to study at Benifel Academy, and now she has some foundation that is convenient for her to integrate into the group of those eldest ladies. Otherwise, it will be very hard to be excluded. ”
Zheng Xiyuan nodded secretly, Xue Ruolan was indeed more thoughtful than she thought. However, he still refused to admit defeat and said: "Who dares to exclude her, Young Master Ben has to make them look good." ”
Xue Ruolan wiped her sweat and said: "Violent maniac! Do you do it too? Those eldest ladies are not good, but they are all good little beauties! Don't you be interested in seeing lust when you go to teach a lesson, but it will become a flirtatious and obscene person." ”
Zheng Xiyuan convinced you: "How can your wise and martial boss be this kind of person? If you want to say that there is one beautiful woman next to you, I don't have to be reluctant to seek far if I flirt with obscenity? Not to mention that it is not interesting to tease those young student girls, at most they are tied up and beaten a few little butts." ”
Xue Ruolan was speechless for a moment. However, when I heard Zheng Xiyuan say that she was a beauty, she was also a little happy.
Heavenly Evil Enzo and soon stopped at the door of a restaurant, Zheng Xiyuan looked at it, but saw that it was a Western restaurant that listened to Lang Man. The restaurant is planted with decorative roses on the fence, and the flowers are not yet in bloom but the branches are still very beautiful. There is a signboard at the door, and the top of it reads, "Shiyin Restaurant, Happy Dining Guests." "Then came the menu of some of today's specials.
He smiled and said, "Take me to such a stylish place for a candlelight dinner, the intention is not pure?"
Xue Ruolan was teased by him, but she didn't get angry, but smiled coquettishly: "If you want to come, I will accompany you at any time, but I will take you to meet someone today." You need to make a decision for a business. ”
When it comes to talking about business, Zheng Xiyuan seems to be a little meaningful. He now has many ways to make money. Perfumes, magic crystal cars, arms for sale. Soon, there will be arms trading by underground forces and the revenue share of the major emerging factories in the Kingdom of Luoyu. The money was enough for him to enjoy any luxury. So the gold coin is just a number for him now.
However, he couldn't say that Xue Ruolan should not look for himself for this kind of thing in the future, so he decided to take a look.
As soon as she entered the door, after Xue Ruolan reported her name, the beautiful waitress showed a sudden expression. He led them to the box that had been prepared long ago. After a while, Lang Man's candles were lit on the long table, a bottle of red wine was also served, and the waiter poured two glasses for the two, and said respectfully: "Boss Xue, the boss said that he will come over soon, let the two of you wait for a while, you can also eat first, I don't know if you want to serve the food first?"
Zheng Xiyuan saw that the other party had already known that the two of them were coming, and thought that Xue Ruolan had already booked the meal. In addition, he was really hungry, so he said unceremoniously: "Let's bring the food first." ”
The beautiful waitress glanced at him, and then saw Xue Ruolan nodding at herself, a little surprised, the two people in front of her seemed to be headed by the young man. However, she also knew that there were some things that she was not qualified to care about, so she nodded, meticulously set up the tableware for the two of them and went out.
Waiting for him to go out, Zheng Xiyuan asked with a smile: "Hehe, Boss Xue is doing well in Ruoleni, I heard that you had a meal, and even the owner of this restaurant came and went." ”
Xue Ruolan: "The little woman is at most a shopkeeper, how dare she call the boss in front of you, an authentic boss." But the owner of this restaurant is not here to stammer, I brought you here today just to meet him. ”
Zheng Xiyuan suddenly looked at the restaurant around him. At first glance, it is a place for young men and women to fall in love. It's really not a good place to talk about business. But if the other party is the owner of this restaurant, then everything makes sense.
He thought to himself that such a restaurant is not the best choice as a for-profit industry. Generally, it is the rich second generation who wants to get some pocket money and has no intention of operating it. Such a person is not good, but it is Dengtu Langzi, he looked at Xue Ruolan across the long table, with a peerless face, even if he just raised his glass and took a sip of red wine, it was so amorous.
Could it be some kid who actually peeped at my beautiful female employee as a gimmick for business talks?
Xue Ruolan looked at Zheng Xiyuan looking at herself strangely, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" After speaking, she touched the corner of her mouth with a somewhat concerned napkin.
Zheng Xiyuan smiled secretly, naturally he wouldn't say anything to ruin the atmosphere, but sighed and said: "Ruolan, you said that it was a candlelight dinner again, and you looked at each other with a beautiful woman, what do you say I see?"
Xue Ruolan glanced at him, covered her mouth and smiled: "It's not serious." ”
Zheng Xiyuan saw that although Xue Ruolan said so, she was smiling like a flower, thinking that women really still need praise, and hurriedly said with an eager look: "Eh? Why is this not serious? Appreciating beauty is the same as appreciating artwork, it is all admiration for beauty." Especially a beauty like Ruolan, you are a super beauty that makes the sun and the moon overshadowed and the flowers are shy. If I don't know how to appreciate such a beautiful woman sitting across from me, then I'll just count it in the monastery of the church. ”
"Hehe, just like you, you have to be accepted by someone to join the church. Zheng Xiyuan's exaggerated expression made Xue Ruolan laugh, in fact, Xue Ruolan is a big beauty of this level. I haven't heard any kind of appreciation, but she doesn't know why, Zheng Xiyuan's words make her very happy.
