It turned out that what His Majesty was worried about was not what he was thinking, and Rick immediately said calmly: "Your Majesty! Wechen had a good intention in keeping Sheriman, according to the information that Wechen had discovered, there must be a strong force behind Sheriman to support him, and even Mir may just be someone else's pawn. In addition, Dakai is an important eye and ear to the north of the imperial capital, and having a person with a complex identity like Sheriman presiding over it will expose many hidden forces. Wechen had secretly found out from Sheriman that there was a sect called "Tang Zong" that had recently wanted to cultivate power in Dakai, and they used a strange katana, and according to Wechen, they should be samurai from Jingzhou or Xiangrong country. At this point, Rick secretly glanced at the queen's soothing expression, and continued, "As for Sheriman's small actions, I believe that His Majesty can settle down as long as he moves his little finger slightly." ”

The queen had a smile on her face, and Rick's last words seemed to put her to good use. However, the smile disappeared in an instant, and it was replaced by a majestic expression. Rick secretly pinched a cold sweat.

"So, you're justified?" The Queen asked.

Rick hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister just talks about things." ”

"Maybe you're right." The queen suddenly stood up, turned to look at the sky in the distance, and said, "I will consider your construction." Then she turned around again, looked at Rick and asked, "What reward do you want this time for you to eliminate Mir and cure Commander Tang for me?" ”

Rick glanced at Tang Zhaoxian, who was standing beside the queen, and said, "This is the duty of Wei Chen, and I don't dare to ask for a reward." ”

The queen was surprisedβ€”could it be that this kid had suddenly changed sex? So he immediately asked, "Really?" ”

Rick thought to himself: Didn't you say that you would make me the commander of the palace guards? Maybe it's a reversal! --Rick didn't care about the official position who didn't know the size of the power, he wanted to say it to the queen more than anything else. Let her achieve her and Tang Zhaoxian's good deeds. But he didn't dare to say it. Because there was an agreement with Tang Zhaoxian in advance. The relationship between the two is not public. However, Her Majesty's questioning reminded him of an important matter--before going to Dakai, he had promised the girls in the palace to bring each of them a phantom beast egg. Now he has returned to Boint, but empty-handed. He is not afraid to break his word, and he is most afraid that the girls will give him a strange nickname - miserable as "black ball", and he is not willing to accept it. Now that His Majesty has made a gesture that he has to reward him, he will simply push the boat down the river. So he said, "Your Majesty." If you must reward Wei Chen, then please reward Wei Chen with seventy or eighty high-grade phantom beast eggs, preferably one of which is a phoenix type! ”

Seventy or eighty high-level phantom beast eggs?! What a whett for you! The queen thought to herself, this man probably imagined the eggs of high-grade phantom beasts as easy to grow and harvest as potatoes. The queen didn't express her opinion immediately, but asked, "What do you want so many phantom beast eggs for?" ”

Rick was also very honest, he smiled bitterly: "Wechen fell for a few little sisters, and accidentally owed them dozens of phantom beast eggs, so your majesty will send Weichen some so-so!" ”

"You mean the orphan girls you adopted?"

Rick asked in surprise, "Your Majesty also knows?" ”

The queen nodded and continued, "I heard that there are thirty-six of them, and it seems that there are quite a few people you have to raise!" ”

Rick's face changed slightly. The heart was even more horrified, the queen even knew this little thing. It shows that she already knows herself quite well. If she makes some small moves behind her back, I believe she can't escape her ears and eyes. Thinking of this, he felt a cold sweat break down his spine.

The queen took his expression in her eyes, and a smile of incomprehensibility appeared at the corner of her mouth. After that, he said: "I will ask Commander Tang to select thirty-six high-level phantom beast eggs to send to you, as well as other rewards, now you step back first." ”

Rick immediately retreated in fear, and before leaving, he didn't even care about flirting with Tang Zhaoxian, which showed how shocking the news that the queen revealed in her words just now, intentionally or unintentionally.

"You care about him?" The queen suddenly asked Tang Zhaoxian, who was watching Rick go away.

Tang Zhaoxian hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Your Majesty." The minister was just thinking about what he had done. ”

"Oh? What's the catch? ”

"He's unpredictable."

"You mean he's unreliable?"

"No--no, Wechen just said that he was sometimes shrewd and wise, and sometimes naΓ―ve and ridiculous."

The queen bowed slightly, and then seemed to suddenly remember something inappropriate in Tang Zhaoxian's words, and then said dissatisfiedly: "There are no outsiders here, you don't have to call yourself a minister." I've said it many times. ”

Tang Zhaoxian sighed secretly and said: "Now is different from the past, Your Majesty should have the majesty of Your Majesty." ”

"Not the same as it used to be?" The queen said, "Have you changed?" Or have I changed? ”

"Weichen is the overall shape of the country."

"Maybe you're right." The queen suddenly stood up and said, "However, compared with the slight changes, I want to know what kind of rejuvenation technique Count Xia Hua has used to bring you back to you, even more than before. ”

Tang Zhaoxian was slightly stunned, and didn't know how to answer for a while. The queen didn't even ask, and said with a smile: "When you are willing to sue me, I am willing to listen." Now you go to the inner library to select thirty-six high-level phantom beast eggs to send to him, and convey my will. After the words fell, she asked her personal attendant to hand Tang Zhaoxian a holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago. Tang Zhaoxian took it with a puzzled face.

The Blue Moon Queen didn't seem to intend to hide it from her, and said, "You can open it and take a look first." ”

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"It doesn't seem like it should come from you." The queen said displeased.

Tang Zhaoxian had no choice but to unfold the holy decree as ordered, and took a cursory glance, which made her face change greatly. The reward the queen was actually an appointment to Rick: he was promoted to a first-class earl and appointed as the commander of the palace guard. A qiΔ“ all show that Rick's saint is in the middle of the day. The reasons for the appointment, however, are quite intriguing. Although the decree does not directly state that Rick killed the Marquis of Mill, it alludes to this. And this decree has obviously been prepared a long time ago, just wait for Rick to return from Dakai and announce it to the world. The Queen's intentions are unpredictable, but one thing is clear: Rick has become a scapegoat, and although everyone knows that the queen is behind the scenes, the queen is still sitting on the throne, and the conspirators can't do anything to her for a while, but Rick will be their target. How could this not make Tang Zhaoxian secretly frightened?

Walking out of the palace, Rick let out a long sigh of relief. Although the queen seemed to rely on him more than before, even forgetting that he was just a false earl, he felt more and more pressure. He had always been happy to know his fate, but the few words that the queen had finally revealed, consciously or unconsciously, still made him very uncomfortable. However, as soon as he walked out of the palace, he threw what had just happened out of the clouds. Now, he was imagining in his heart that when those girls in the house got the long-awaited phantom beast eggs, he didn't know what happiness would become. Thinking of this, he felt that the whole person was relaxed.

According to the custom, once you return from the expedition, you must hand over half a talisman for the deployment of troops to the military department, and Rick led his troops to Dakai this time, and he was also given half a talisman. At this moment, he was about to go to the military department to hand in the talisman.

The official offices of the six ministries are located near the left side of the palace, almost in a row, all of them are deep gate compounds, strict access control, and thousands of weather. This is especially true of the Ministry of War.

Rick was only followed by Caifeng and Leng Ying, and Yulu, Ao Ling'er and others had already returned to the Duke's Mansion when he was summoned to the palace. Rick didn't know how to get to the military department, but the sixth department was very close to the palace, and he could see a row of tall gatehouses from afar, so he could easily find it without being led by others.

When he reached the entrance of the military department, Rick didn't even look at the group of guards lined up with goose wings outside the door, and walked straight inside. --This is the secret of "passing" taught by Qin Xin, in the aristocratic society, at all times, he must be full of momentum and style, so that he can show superiority and act less hindered, otherwise he will be thorny step by step. He did so, and it seemed to work well, and the doorman didn't dare to stop him. Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that he is followed by two beautiful female entourage. It is impossible for an ordinary person to have two of these retinues, and the fact that Rick is followed by two such retinues already shows that his status is extraordinary.

The doorman didn't dare to stop it, it doesn't mean that others don't dare. As soon as Rick walked through the door of the military headquarters, someone shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to trespass on the military department. The speaker was a huge man of nearly thirty years of age, with small eyes that did not match his rugged appearance.

Rick stopped and said, "I'm looking for Lord Shang Shuyin of the Ministry of War." ”

"Do you think Master Shangshu can meet casually?"

Rick laughed, "I'm not so casual as to ignore my own stupidity. ”

"What do you mean?"

"If I'm not sure I'll see Lord Shangshu, do you think I'll come to the military department?"

The other party's gaze froze, fell on Rick's body, and said, "I've never seen you before." ”

"Each other, each other."

"What's your name?"

"Xia Hua."

The other party obviously hadn't heard of it, frowned slightly, and then asked, "What are you looking for Master Shangshu?" ”

Rick didn't answer, but asked, "Your Excellency should report your name first, this is a courtesy." "God knows, how could the word "li" pop out of his mouth?! Still, Rick's words seem to have an effect. The man smiled: "Zunjia is right, my name is Wei Mang." ”

Rick nodded, "I remember." Excuse me, where is Lord Yin now? ”

"You have to tell me what happened to Master Shangshu first, this is also a courtesy."

Rick smiledβ€”a happy smile because he had met someone interesting. He confessed: "I'll pay the talisman." ”

A trace of doubt flashed in Wei Mang's eyes and he said, "As far as I know, there have been almost no troop movements in recent times, unless they are sent to meet the envoy of Tabujiqi - are you the Count of Permon?" (To be continued......)
