The summer of the first seven years of the mainland was the hottest summer in recorded history, and the red sun did not know what nerves it had, and it exuded raging heat all day long, and when it was in the sky, even the brilliance of the blue sun was completely obscured.

Research by scientists on the continent has shown that both planets orbit to the closest place to the continent, which is why it is so hot.

The weather is so hot, and people's hearts are also very restless. Xiao Mu will experience this mood, since becoming the regent of Kaman, Xiao Mu feels that his life has completely lost the pleasure of being free to dispose of, Kaman Guardian is the last person he wants to see now, once he sees it, something bad will happen, such as now.

The guard on duty today pushed the door and came to Xiao Mu's side, and just wanted to report, only to hear Xiao Mu shout, "Stop! Don't say it yet, let me sleep for a while!" He looked at the clerk next to him helplessly, and asked silently with an inquiring look.

The affairs officer smiled and comforted, "Lord Regent, there is no way, now that there are many things, you can bear with it, bear with it again." At the same time, he motioned for the guards to report quickly.

This Kaman Guard, who is relatively clever, did not wait for Xiao Mu to reply, and quickly reported, "Lord Regent, there is news from the Chairman of the Business Alliance that a summit meeting to discuss important matters is planned to be held on the day of 'early autumn' (Note 1), and I hope that the heads of state in the alliance will participate. ”

Xiao Mu lay on the table helplessly, "It's a meeting again, it's a meeting all day long, why are there so many things." This bit of business of the Shang Alliance, you have to bother me too, Affairs Officer, you go!"

The clerk quickly stood up with a smile, "No, no, Lord Regent, I'm too old, and this tiring journey is not suitable for me." Of course, Lord Regent, you'll have to go in person. ”

Xiao Mu began to play tricks, "No, no, no, I won't go, it's far away and annoying, and since the trade agreement was signed, we Kaman have been treated as street rats in the business alliance, and we have to fully bear the wrath of Desik, so I won't go, I want to go to you, if you go, it's a punching bag, go to a fart." ”

The clerk couldn't do anything about Xiao Mu, but the old man who became Jing was not a vegetarian, so he saw the clerk's eyes roll, and suddenly held his forehead, "Hey, I'm dizzy, I'm dizzy, who's that, come and help me and help me to the medical officer." The clever Kaman Guardian immediately stepped forward to support him, and the two of them disappeared after a moment's time.

The angry Xiao Mu had no choice, and scolded at the portrait of his ancestors on the wall, "You people, you can't manage the country well, you look at San Jose, how good it is to have a cabinet, you have to do it yourself, stupid! And my old man, I don't know what I'm busy doing in the castle every day, and no one can see him, so hurry up and hand over the Grand Duke (Note 2)!"

The two guards guarding outside the door silently took out a piece of cloth from their pockets, skillfully pinched it into a ball and stuffed it into their ears. Just kidding, can this kind of talk enter the ears of a third person, it seems that during this time, Xiao Mu, an unreliable master, these guards have learned to be smart.

Xiao Mu, who was tired of scolding, lay on the big table in the conference hall with his strength weak, crossed Erlang's legs, and looked at the huge oil painting hanging on the wall. (Note 3)

Xiao Mu suddenly thought of Lolita, although Kaman came, he still couldn't see him a few times a day, and Xiao Mu was also a little depressed. Unexpectedly, my sister played this hand and met Lolita in advance, and her careful thinking was not hidden from her at all. Now it's okay, my sister and Lolita have become good sisters, and the two of them hide in the royal capital academy all day long for the so-called magic exchange, and the hot potato of the regent is completely smashed into their own hands.

Xiao Mu was a little skeptical that Monica was pretending to be sick at the time. But the commotion is noisy, and there is nothing less to do, Xiao Muqiang cheered up, reached out and took a document, and read it carefully. He didn't notice that on the wall, behind the huge oil painting, there was a pair of clear eyes, looking at Xiao Mu.

Kist was a little panicked today, and had been shopping with Feida, when suddenly two Kaman guards found him on the street and invited him to meet the "master" at the castle as soon as possible. Koster didn't suspect him, thinking it was Xiao Mu's man, but when the guard took Koster and turned left and right to a very remote room in the castle, Koster realized that something was wrong.

It was not Xiao Mu who called himself, but an old man in the castle who was in good spirits, in his fifties, with silver hair and resolute eyes, was the real owner of the castle, Duke Kaman, Muscala Mu.

Kerst was speechless when he learned his identity, as far as he knew, since the old Duke Carman completely handed over state affairs to Monica Mu a few years ago, that is, Xiao Mu's sister, he basically lived in a shallow place and never appeared in front of outsiders. There are even suspicions that the old duke is long gone.

Completely confused, Khor didn't dare to say a word in front of Duke Carman, and a tense atmosphere lingered in the air.

Without saying a word, the old duke got up and opened a secret door beside him, motioning for Koster to come with him. The two of them walked a long distance in the deep corridor behind the secret door, and came to an empty stone room, with several holes in one wall of the room, revealing a glimmer of light.

In the hole, Xiao Mu's familiar voice came.

After staring at Xiao Mu through the hole in the wall for a long time, he saw that he was very skillful in handling one document after another, and the mountain of unprocessed documents on the table quickly decreased. Cast looked back at the old duke in bewilderment, not understanding what he meant.

Xiao Mu was fooled by the affairs officer and the guards, seeing that they fled and left this letter, Xiao Mu was helpless and broke the jar, went straight to the table and lay down, kicked off his two shoes, and fell asleep, not caring about the image at all. Kester felt someone tap him on the shoulder in the dark, "Let's go, follow me." ”

Naturally, Pexeter was the old duke, and he led him along the secret passage where he came, all the way back to the room where he had started. Except for the "follow me" just now, the old duke remained silent from beginning to end, and Khor's mood was uneasy.

Fortunately, this time the old duke didn't let Koyce wonder for too long, "Koster, what do you think of Royce's handling of state affairs?"

Kester thought for a moment, and said to himself, "It looks very stable." ”

Duke Mu also nodded, "Yes, it's not bad, although it's a little frivolous." Koster, right, your family is a knight lord on the side of Sunset Mountain, the coat of arms is a ring snake, you have always been Xiao Mu's friend in the Royal Capital Academy, I, I'm not wrong. ”

Koster thought to himself that Duke Mu must have investigated himself, but nodded in agreement.

The old duke is not a dumb monarch, on the contrary, he is actually extremely shrewd, as for why he retreated into the background and handed over the affairs of state to Princess Mu, the old duke did not explain to anyone. The truth is that Princess Mu has done a good job in the past few years.

Now, Princess Mu suddenly quit due to physical reasons, Roysmu took over as regent, and the state affairs of the Principality of Kaman quickly returned to calm after a short period of turmoil, and no one knew what the old duke was doing behind his back.

"Chester, I know you're a friend of Royce, and your family is also a traditional nobleman of our Kaman, so I'm going to let you go to Royce's side and be his assistant. ”

Although there was a vague premonition, when the Duke said this, Kster was still a little surprised. After all, he is just a young nobleman, and after a few years of studying, there is nothing more special except for being Xiao Mu's friend, is this too fast?

The old duke continued, "You don't have to worry about anything, I have my own arrangements. Unable to refuse, the Duke shoved something directly into Koster's hand. When Koster looked down, it turned out to be a gold jasmine badge, which was different from the usual golden jasmine badge, and there was a circle of flames around this badge.

"You take this to Royce, he knows what to do. ”

Chester was depressed, wondering why these people always like to stuff other people's badges, and the bronze badge Green gave him last time was still in his pocket. But he still promised: "Okay." ”

Seeing that Cast's eyes were still a little puzzled, the old duke rarely slowed down his tone, "If you have any questions, if you want to ask, just ask directly." ”

Seeing the old duke say this, Kerst hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"

The old duke looked like this, and expected you to ask this question. "Royce needs the help of his friends, the principality's officers are not young anymore, you are a good fit. ”

Kester didn't think so, thinking what kind of reason this was, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. After asking a few more non-nutritious questions, he was interrupted by the old duke, "Okay, you can take this to Royce, Potter (Note 4) will take you out." ”

Seeing that the old duke had issued an eviction order, Caster didn't dare to ask any more questions, but before leaving, Caster, who couldn't help it for a while, still asked one last question, "What about Princess Mu." ”

The old duke didn't expect Kerst to ask such a question, and was a little caught off guard. Fortunately, after a while, he told Kerst with a smile that all this was actually Princess Mu's idea, including making Xiao Mu regent, and letting Kerst be Xiao Mu's assistant.

"And what does she want to do herself?" asked Kerst continued.

"She," the old duke sighed, "she would like to be a great priest more." Do you know who Monica has been with lately?"

"With whom?" Kerst obviously didn't expect the old duke to say this, a little confused.

"Hehe, with that princess friend of yours. ”

"Huh?" Kerst looked shocked.

In the dean's room of the royal capital, two beautiful girls sat at their desks, and the tables were covered with all kinds of manuscripts.

"Ahh
