Chapter 2: The Otherworldly Continent
This is an otherworldly continent ruled by the human race, the orc race, and the matriarchal society, and the legend has it that there are also gods and demons, but they are just legends.
The Terrans live on land with beautiful scenery all year round, while the Orcs live in the harsh conditions of glaciers and snowy regions and the depths of the ocean.
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and this sentence seems to be easy to use anywhere.
After defeating the orcs, the Terrans began to fight among themselves, and after years of war, they were divided into four more powerful dynasties and countless small city-states.
The four nations are the most powerful alliance of the kingdoms, the kingdom of Jinshui, which is known for its cunning and cunning, and the kingdom of Bongsheng, where the gods are said to have descended.
The place where Tong Xi was possessed was the capital of the Great Moon Kingdom, the Yue Clan, which was the weakest and most resilient of the four kingdoms.
The current empress is the twenty-ninth emperor of the Great Moon Kingdom, surnamed Ji Minghuan, in her early forties, in the prime of life, and has always been known for her diligence and love for the people.
Although there is a good emperor, due to the influence of congenital conditions and the continuous wars on the border, the Great Moon Kingdom has never been able to recuperate with peace of mind.
The eunuch who took Tong Xilai to ring the bell and open the door was named Yehe, a strange name, his duty was to ring the bell and open the palace door every day, and he was a chief eunuch.
Being responsible doesn't mean that you have to do it yourself, there are more little eunuchs who have a beard, and he got up a little later today, and he was the first to see Tong Xi, otherwise such a glorious task might not be anyone!
"Bell..."
After the crisp and melodious bell, the palace gate slowly opened, and the civil and military officials waiting outside rushed in.
The morning sun is rising, the sun is shining, and under the reflection of the sun, the entire palace exudes a golden light.
The palace is obviously the highest point in the city, and when you look out from the palace wall, you can see a vivid picture of the various architectural steps.
Beyond the outermost city wall is a large area of green fertile fields, and the mountains in the distance are undulating, as if there is no end, and there is no end in sight.
Looking up at the sky, a series of planets are clearly visible, as if they could fall down at any moment.
Such a fairyland-like scene, Tong Xi has only seen it in science fiction movies, although it is only a quick glance, he has already liked this place.
The sky is getting brighter, and Ye He also saw the scars on Tong Xi's face, under normal circumstances, the affairs of the little eunuchs, as the chief eunuch, are not in the mood to ask more, but Ye He is in a good mood today.
"Hehe! Beaten again, don't be so lazy in the future, or no one will be able to help you."
"What my father-in-law said is that the little one must change his past mistakes and never cause trouble to everyone again, but the injury on the little one's face was accidentally dropped last night, and it has nothing to do with the brothers."
Ye He also asked casually, and he didn't plan to ask deeply, but hearing Tong Xi's answer, he was very surprised, in his impression, this kid is lazy and greedy, a stinky mouth is very unpopular, and it is common to be beaten, but he doesn't want to be quite good at talking.
Wei Yi groaned and said: "Today, Your Majesty is choosing a concubine in Huacui Palace, there are not enough people, you go over with me to help and behave well, the miscellaneous family can't treat you badly."
Tong Xi didn't think about it so much, what he has to do now is to integrate into this moment as soon as possible, so as to achieve his goal as soon as possible.
"Father-in-law Xie is carrying, the little one must not forget it"
I have written a lot of novels, and I didn't feel any difficulty when I talked to the ancients, but I suddenly thought that the emperor I created was a woman, could it be that this female emperor was the same as the male emperor, and there were three thousand handsome men in the harem?
A large group of sissies are scratching their heads and waiting for an old woman to pick them out...
Thinking of this possibility, Tong Xi suddenly felt like vomiting, and the cold hairs on his body stood up...
"Teng, Teng..."
A slight vibration interrupted Tong Xi's reverie, and he turned his head to look at the voice, which didn't matter, and immediately stunned him.
I saw a team of fighting chickens galloping over on the official road outside the palace, yes! Although these animals were huge and almost like war horses, Tong Xi still recognized them at a glance, this was the most common poultry and chickens in another time and space!
It is not an exaggeration to say that chickens can grow to such a size, and each chicken is dressed in shining armor, coupled with iron beak and steel claws, and a terrifying breath suddenly comes to the face.
Straddling each battle chicken sat a heavily armed knight, each in heavy armor and carrying a broadsword, with his face hidden behind a cantharid, revealing only two cold eyes.
The morning sun was rising, reflecting on the bright armor and weapons, reflecting a dazzling light, which invisibly added a bit of slaughter to this team of hundreds of people.
When he was about to arrive at the palace gate, a whistle suddenly sounded in the battle chicken team, and then he saw the battle chicken's footsteps pause, and the team was left and right.
Soon, a more majestic and colorful battle chicken came out of the back of the team with a majestic and high-spirited spirit.
On this fighting chicken, there is a woman in gold armor and silver helmet with two giant blades in her back.
The distance is a bit far, and I can't see the woman's appearance clearly, but this appearance alone is enough to prove that this woman is not easy to mess with, and it is obvious that she is the commander of this team.
"The Seventh Prince is back!"
"Whew!"
Noga's explanation indicated the woman's identity, and as he spoke, a long horn suddenly sounded on the palace wall on the other side of the bell tower.
When the Seventh Prince heard the sound of the horn, he immediately turned over and jumped off the battle chicken, and then knelt on one knee.
Just look at the way she looks, obviously waiting for the will.
"Let's go, don't look at it, the Seventh Prince doesn't have a good temper, if you let her know that you peeked at her, she will definitely pull out your eyeballs."
Tong Xi was startled, and hurriedly followed Yehe obediently to the palace wall, not daring to look out again.
Although he only glanced outside a few times just now, it was enough for Tong Xi to know a few things.
First of all, this country is similar to the otherworldly setting of his novel, otherwise it would not have been possible to have a creature like a fighting chicken.
Secondly, I don't know if it's the reason why women are in power, the officials he just met are all women.
In the end, the appearance and language of the people here, as well as the architecture and human environment, etc., seem to be no different from Middle-earth in another time and space...
After understanding these things, Tong Xi gradually relaxed, at least in such an environment, he didn't need to bother too much to adapt.
Tong Xi is a very thoughtful person, and he knows very well that if he wants to stand out among the many eunuchs, the opportunity is important, and it is also very important to stand in line.
It is not difficult to see from the attitude of other eunuchs towards themselves that their predecessor should belong to the category of superb garbage, so it is almost impossible to gain the favor of the emperor through normal channels, and you must be ingenious...
Not far from the palace wall, Tong Xi suddenly remembered something again, looked left and right, and then whispered to Ye He: "Father-in-law, why don't the seven princes ride war horses?"
Listening to Tong Xi's question, Yehe turned his head and glared at Tong Xi, pointed to the sky with his finger, and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, be careful of your head!"
Tong Xi stuck out his tongue in fright, and said in his heart that if there is a war horse, it is possible to ask his head off, this is too exaggerated, isn't it? Besides, what do you mean by pointing to the sky, can all the horses in this time and space fly? Think about it, it is also a different continent! What strange thing can't happen?
At the beginning of a new day, the eunuchs in the miscellaneous room were surprised to find that Xiao Tongzi, who was hated before, seemed to have suddenly changed as a person, his hands and feet were numb, his mouth was sweet, and no matter who he saw, he had a smiling face.
The eunuchs who participated in the beating of Tong Xi last night couldn't help but think, it seems that the beating was still light in the past, isn't this the result of the beating now?...
The eunuch's psychology is dark, and ordinary people can't figure it out at all, so no matter how Tong Xi behaves, in addition to some false and stingy smiles, there is more work to be done.
Fortunately, Tong Xi's mind is not here at all, what he needs most now is more opportunities to contact the upper echelons, how can he care about how much work he has?
"Huacui Palace"
As the name suggests, this is a place for women, and it is indeed one of the palaces where the Empress likes to rest.
When Tong Xi followed Ye He to arrive, hundreds of teenagers had already gathered in the square of Huacui Palace.
is similar to what Tong Xi thought, in order to win the favor of the empress, these teenagers all rubbed their rouge and powder, and the makeup on their faces was painted to the extreme, and they couldn't see their true faces clearly, and the fragrance on their bodies made Tong Xi feel sick.
Thinking about the ancient emperors of another time and space, they could choose concubines at will, so it seems understandable that the empress in this time and space chose young people to fill the harem.
But after all, Tong Xi is a promising young man in the new era, he can't adapt to such a scene at all, if it weren't for his identity, he really wanted to rush over to teach them a lesson for the fathers and mothers of these sissies.
Tong Xi didn't know, the time and space are different, the customs are different, these teenagers were actually sent into the palace by their parents, because once they are taken by the empress, they can bare the lintel, which is definitely a great joy for the ancestors.
And these teenagers also came to the palace after layers of screening, but it's really hard to say how many of them will come to the empress in the end, because before being summoned by the empress, they have to have a final round of talent competition...
