Chapter 138: Born to be a lord

Β·

After Yuan Huang bought a lot of toys, he sat on the sofa and chatted with Jozhe over tea. He's wasting his time avoiding the limelight, waiting for the Elite Spider to come back with news.

During the banquet, Yuan Huang found that Zuozhe's heart was far stronger than he looked on the outside.

After being killed by an unknown black hand, he was convicted of treason by the king, and even distant relatives were not spared.

Satsu expressed his helplessness about the treason, because Dong Shangjue did raise terrifying demons, which was one of the reasons why he had a bad relationship with his father since he was a child. Satsu had persuaded his father to stop many times, but it was clear that Dong Shangjue had been confused by his own demons, and he loved the sparrow far more than his wife and children. When Zuozhe finally couldn't stand it anymore and watched his father feed the sparrows alive, he ran away from home and moved to the Wangli Library for a long time, rarely returning home. Even if it is a criminal who feeds the sparrow, it is contrary to human nature.

But the revenge for the killing of parents is a different matter, if there is no assassination, the sparrow will not get out of control, and the family, relatives and tens of thousands of innocent people will not suffer misfortune. Zuo Zhe vowed to find out the main messenger behind the scenes to take revenge. However, he is no longer a nobleman, and he is powerless, so revenge is not easy.

When asked what to do, Satsu replied bluntly: "Use the rain culvert bed." I don't know why she fell in love with me, and her magic is boundless, and now she has become a loyal lord, which can be said to be calling for wind and rain in the Starfall Continent, and the only way to do it is for her to help me. ”

Yuan Huang's cheeks twitched when he heard this. It's a weird experience for someone to say to themselves, "I'm going to take advantage of you."

In fact, Yuan Huang can simply hand over Sha Pei to Zuo Zhe, and the truth will be revealed. But when Jin met the king, Yuan Huang could be said to have grown wise, and it was not enough to push the witnesses out, so that he could not bring Nikoyid to justice...... Especially that guy was actually promoted to Shangjue.

Genhuang has no interest in protecting Shar-Pei, but he is interested in fulfilling Zorze's wishes. As the only witness, Shar Pei could not die for the time being.

No, fortunately, I kept Shar Pei in the spaceship, and it was very safe.

Yuan Huang didn't know at this time that Sha Pei had already been taken by Xiao Youxiang and others to govern the territory, and he showed up. Despite this, he was still a little inexplicably uneasy, and decided not to wait for the long-delayed Elite Spider, and immediately returned to the ship to confirm whether Shar Pei was safe.

Yuan Huang saw that Zuozhe's mood was a little more perked, and he took a lot of gifts and said goodbye. Before leaving, the girl also gave him a small black stone.

When I left the Karakuri shop, the sky was already dyed with sunset.

Yuan Huang burrowed into the uninhabited dark alley, changed into a mask and cloak and other outfits, redressed as a female mage of the Heavenly Realm, and went straight to the teleportation station outside the gate of the royal city.

After a minute or two, the pedestrians on the road gradually discovered that there was actually a recent figure walking beside them, and they all got out of the way, and opened up a special road for Yuanhuang on the endless street. Some of those people looked in awe, some in fear, and some in respect to make way for him. Now it seems that it is not only the notoriety that has been broadcast far away, but also the heroic feat of saving two villages in the Sparrow Incident.

On weekdays, the royal city is strictly in and out, and now seeing the source of the god who has been promoted to loyalty, the city gate guards immediately lined up nervously on both sides, saluted solemnly, and were released without inspection.

Everywhere Yuan Huang went, the crowd scattered like a herd of beasts avoiding the fire, keeping a distance from onlookers.

The mage on duty at the teleportation station said that it had been ordered by the Teleportation Emperor to waive the teleportation fee of Yuanhuang. To be honest, this incident was a little surprising to Yuan Huang, but it made sense to think about it. After all, he is a close friend of the prophet, and he uses a similar routine - no teleportation fees, so he will often use the teleportation station, so Yuanhuang's every move is under the surveillance of the teleportation emperor, and he loves to use his brain like an old bastard.

Yuanhuang teleported to the "Architect's Village", but there was no shadow of a spaceship on the outskirts. Hey? What's hairy? Who kidnapped my spaceship,!

Just as Yuan Huang was shouting that something was wrong, he suddenly found that there was a person standing in the place where the spaceship had stayed, and his figure was a little familiar.

……

Forehead support.

The other party also discovered the source phoenix, and immediately rushed over, stood in front of him and said solemnly: "Lord Yuhan Bed, welcome back!" As you commanded, I've been waiting here to hand over this spider to you! ”

It's Lord Porta.

Since this guy was rescued by Sister Bed in the village, he has a bit of a ghostly energy......

The Robot Spider jumped from Porta's palm onto Genhuang's shoulder, and sent a recorded audio into the mask, which was a message from Sister Bedβ€”"I'm sorry, Genhuang. During your trip to Wangcheng, there was some urgency, and I was unable to contact you in time because I was out of communication distance, so I asked the acting deputy captain Hongyang Minbo for instructions, and with permission, move the entire ship to the vicinity of your territory. Please return as soon as you receive your message."

Damn, this woman actually abducted the whole ship while I wasn't there.

Yuan Huang immediately ran back to the teleportation station, and went to the outskirts of the northwest commercial city, and he didn't care about Porta all the way silently. After he walked out of the teleportation station, he was greeted by the bed sister as soon as possible, and soon saw the spaceship quietly parked outside the city, being watched by a large group of people from afar. It's not just a kidnapping, a false alarm.

It seemed that the spaceship was no different from before, and Yuan Huang was much more relieved and walked into the door. He didn't dissuade Bota from following, for it turned out that nothing would happen even if he was allowed in, and it was clear that dissuasion would not work, and that Bota had some tendons in his head.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone lined up to welcome him back. Xiao Youxiang is also there, and there is also Hongyang Minbo, who actually looks like a healthy person, with a smile on his face.

"Welcome back, my lord." Hongyang Minbo bowed slightly, said as a representative, and then his eyes fell on the big bag that Yuan Huang was carrying behind him, and couldn't help asking, "My lord, is that?" ”

"A gift for you." After that, Yuan Huang put the bag on the ground and took out the "lighter box". This was originally going to be given to Hongyang Minbo, but Yuan Huang suddenly remembered that this woman dared to abduct the spaceship without permission while he was away, and became unhappy.

The lighter box that was supposed to be given directly to Hongyang Minbo was put in front of everyone instead: "Who do you guess this is for?" ”

A cheap mouth.

"Huh?" Hongyang Minbo couldn't guess.

Everyone looked at Xiao Youxiang handsomely, and the latter looked confident.

Yuan Huang secretly exclaimed. This lighter box is not meant to be given to Xiao Yuxiang. He immediately took out all the gifts, lined them up, and said, "Now guess which one is for whom?" ”

Yuan Huang felt that he had a talent for giving gifts, and these things were all tailor-made for these guys, and there would be no problems.

During the period when Yuan Huang couldn't see it, the five of them were very close to each other, and gradually formed a fixed set of precedence, and they decided to guess in turn according to this order. Of course, everyone knows that Xiao Youxiang is the first, followed by Hongyang Minbo, and then the five.

"I guess." Xiao Youxiang squatted down with her arms folded on her knees, stared at these gifts and thought about them, grabbed the "lighter box", and smiled happily, "Since you were the first to take it out, it must have been given to others, right?" ”

……

"Yes, Xiao Youxiang is really ice and snow smart." Yuan Huang didn't have the courage to explain, in fact, the first thing that came to mind was Hongyang Minbo.

Hongyang Minbo also stepped forward, looked at it, bent down to pick up the teddy bear, hugged it tightly in his arms, and kept rubbing his cheeks: "This is so cute, is it for me?" ”

…… Yuan Huang's eyes widened in surprise under the mask. He didn't know why, obviously Xiao Youxiang looked innocent and naΓ―ve, but he just glanced at the little bear and didn't seem interested? Obviously, Hongyang Minbo is a powerful combat master, but he wants to hold a plush toy and smile?

"That's right, you know I know you." Yuan Huang saw that Hongyang Minbo couldn't put it down and couldn't bear to tell the truth.

Gran jumped out, looking excited: "It's my turn!" ”

She grabbed the perfume bottle at once and stared at Yuan Huang expectantly.

"Pretty correct, worthy of Gran." The corners of Yuan Huang's mouth twitched when he said this. Originally, the perfume was intended to be given to Sophia, who looked quiet, what can a maid do if she asks for perfume?

Sophia bent down on her knees, stared at it for a long time, picked up the kaleidoscope, and asked timidly, "My lord, am I right?" ”

"The pattern inside is unpredictable, and when I saw it, I immediately thought of you." Yuan Huang wanted to smoke himself when he said this. You're a nerd enough to waste your eyes, what kind of kaleidoscope do you look at, aren't you afraid of being dazzled?

The momentum is getting worse and wrong.

Yuan Huang stared at Nocton deadly, thinking that this strong man would definitely choose a spring to exercise his grip! Definitely!

"My lord, am I guessing right?"

"As I expected, I knew you'd love the music box."

The crackling sound was the voice of broken confidence from the depths of Yuan Huang's heart. He thought he knew a lot about Noxton, why would he like such a girl's stuff?

"My lord, am I guessing right?"

"This Nine Rings is very rare, and I'm relieved to see you like me."

Wait, Mobian! Aren't you a pharmacist, what kind of nine links are you playing, the style of painting is wrong!

The last one must have been Hild's. The boy held the spring in both hands to exercise his grip strength, and the whole person became full of emotion, and said to himself: "My father often scolded me for not being able to become a qualified blacksmith without strength. Lord Yuhan Bed, you really care about us and know us very well. Thank you for your kindness! ”

The group of five said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Yuhan!" ”

Yuan Huang waved his hand.

And then the whole person is not good...... None of the gifts he chose were delivered to the intended person.

Looking at Porta, who had been standing silently behind him, Yuan Huang said, "Don't stare at me so pitifully, I also have your gifts." With that, he shoved the small stone that the shopgirl had given him into Porta's hand. I didn't expect this guy to be very happy, saying that it was a meteorite iron, which was most suitable for a manipulation mage. Well, everything doesn't matter anymore.

Yuan Huang asked the crowd, "Can anyone explain to me in detail what is the urgent matter that has happened to move here?" Don't even have time to wait for me to come back? ”

"It's a very tricky matter in the territory, and we urgently need you to go out in person, but you are far away in the royal city, and the clone can't be too far away from the Heavenly Realm Palace, so that's why." Gran said with some anxiety, "Your doppelganger is trying to save the day, but it's still up to you to decide. ”

I see.

Yuan Huang nodded and waved his big hand: "Simple!" I'm naturally good at being a lord! ”

So Gran recounted what had happened before.

After Yuan Huang threw a sentence to Xiao Youxiang, "Let's find someone to be the sixth official", he set off for the Mage Association in Wangcheng, which was close to dusk for half a day. Xiao Yuxiang immediately released Shar Pei, who was imprisoned at the bottom of the spaceship, and took the group of five to use it together to go to the Northwest Commercial City, and it didn't take much time to use the teleportation station.

I've only been away for half a day, who approved the release of Shar Pei without permission!

Nikorid's evacuation did not leave behind any paperwork, any. As if it had been premeditated, the handling was clean, so that Xiao Youxiang was immediately blinded. Fortunately, he brought Shar Pei, who has long been based in the commercial city of Northwest China, which is the place where he eats the most, mixes the most, and has the most extensive contacts, and knows a lot of things very well. With the addition of Xiao Youxiang, these seven people formed a team of the highest officials in the territory, and it was very tricky to start from scratch around Shar Pei from the beginning of the work to understand the situation on the ground.

Throughout the work, Sharpei's attitude was super cooperative, even far beyond everyone's expectations. But they didn't have time to get into the nitty-gritty of Shar-Pei's mentality, because as the initial foundationwork unfolded, they found more difficult problems.

Populations are losing at an incredible rate.

Originally, the population of the commercial city in the northwest was about 300,000, but since the Spiritual Bird Disaster, 50,000 people have moved away in just one day. And during the investigation, they found that at least 100,000 people were preparing their luggage, but they had not yet had time to leave the city.

If so many people go out of the city in normal times, it will definitely cause an uproar, but at present, the officials of the territory are vacant, and the guards are chaotic. These guards on duty even moved with their families in private, abandoning their posts.

Unlike the Fortress City, the Northwest City also has several teleportation stations inside the city walls. Families with a slightly more relaxed economy simply used the old teleportation station to leave, so by the time Shar Pei learned about the situation, about 50,000 people had already been lost.

Very staggering numbers.

Everyone sat in the lobby of the spaceship and discussed the matter.

Xiao Youxiang angrily smashed the glass table with her small fist: "Dad is really, he said that before the Spirit Bird disaster, people were evacuated from the Northwest Commercial City one after another." I asked him why he didn't tell me, and he actually said, "If I told you, you would definitely tell that bed sister, and the bed sister would definitely stop it, so how much transmission fee would I lose?" Ahh ”

Gran also followed up and said: "We are really powerless to stop it, the organizational discipline of the guards has all collapsed, only Shar Pei follows your doppelganger, and leads a group of brothers on the road who are still trying to recover the decline, but they are also unable to do so. Please make a quick decision, or I'm afraid the whole city will run out!" ”

Yuan Huang didn't understand why it suddenly became like this. I tried to ask everyone, but no one said why. The time was too short to investigate the cause.

Yuan Huang only thought of one idea - kill the staff on duty at the teleportation station and block the city gate. The idea was just perfect.

"Your Excellency?"

"Of course I have a plan, but let's hear your thoughts first. You are now the highest official in the city, and you can't keep up with my thinking level with an empty mind. Yuan Huang planned to listen to the other people's thoughts, and then laughed at them, contrasting his own cleverness. Perfect, he was simply born to be a lord.

Gran stood up and said, "Yes, sir." Forgive my subordinates for their humble opinion, this must be the Nicorid obstruction. From the very beginning, he evacuated almost all the officials and documents, making it clear that he was embarrassed by you. There must be people behind such a massive mass migration. I suggest that on the one hand, your doppelganger give speeches in the square to dissuade the people, and on the other hand, the Sha Beltmen secretly search for and arrest anyone suspected of incitement. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia stood up and said, "I don't think you should be stopped from leaving, so as to show the magnanimity of your lordship, and prove that the city comes and goes freely, and will bring more vitality to your territory in the future." Thinking about it from another angle, since you have already started to leave, even dissuasion will be useless. ”

"That's not right, leaving voluntarily and instigating to leave are two different things." Nocton stood up and said, "I suggest that we should start with the fundamental law and order aspect, and first rebuild the organization and discipline of the Guards. While this may result in a missed opportunity to lose more people, once the guards are controlled, the problems will be solved. ”

Mobian covered his mouth and stood up in thought, stretching out his hand to interrupt: "Your so-called "easy solution" is based on violence, right? Even if one person is injured by the guards, just sorting out the formation there is a silent threat of force, which treats the symptoms but not the root cause. My lord, I suggest that if you don't understand the real reason for the Great Migration, you should think backwards – not thinking about "how to stop leaving", but "how to induce you to stay". All you have to do is announce out loud the good policies that will come after you take office, such as increasing employment, increasing public construction, lowering tax rates, and if only tonight could be designated as "Remembrance Day to Resist the Scourge of the Sparrows" and have a big celebration. ”

Finally, when it was Hilde's turn, the kid raised his forehead and said in a daze, "Actually, I haven't been able to keep up with your train of thought...... causing everyone to roll their eyes in anger.

They all looked at Yuanhuang in unison, waiting for the adult's high view.

…… In fact, Yuan Huang's high opinion is to kill the mage on duty at the teleportation station and block the door...... Now that I think about it, it's really inappropriate, it's not as good as the idea of the five.

Oh, it's annoying, the territory or something is so good, does it have anything to do with becoming an archmage?

Yuan Huang slowly stood up, walked a few steps into the distance with his hands behind his back, and said leisurely: "This is the first test of your new officials, I will only watch silently, and will not interfere with your opportunity to grow and experience this time." Do a good job. ”

I'm leaving.

"Wait a minute, sir, what are you going to do?"

"Hmm." Yuan Huang didn't look back and stretched out his hand to one of the five people, "Do you still need to ask, of course you will do what you say first." Don't worry, I'll have your back. ”

Who is Yuan Huang pointing to?

A, Glenn

B, Sophia

C, Nocton

D, Mobian
