Rick smiledβa happy smile because he had met someone interesting. He confessed: "I'll pay the talisman." β
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?" β
"Just call me Xia Hua." Rick laughed.
Wei Mang's eyes flashed, and then he bowed slightly and said: "The humble position is just an idle thousand cavalry commanders, who was presumptuous in front of the earl just now, and I ask the earl to forgive me." β
Rick waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, you just tell me where Lord Yin is." β
Wei Mang smiled and said, "Your Excellency has not come back from the State Guest House, do you want to wait for a while?" β
Rick said to himself: You're really wordy. After talking for a long time, he told me such a news. So he immediately listed Wei Mang as one of the "not to talk about" characters in his heart.
Since the military department is not here, Rick doesn't want to sit back and wait, and is ready to go home. He had just turned around and was about to leave, when suddenly someone said not far behind him: "It's really good for the two of you to stand here and talk." β
Rick turned his head and saw that it was a handsome and unusually handsome man, and his appearance was quite unfamiliar. Wei Mang obviously knew him, and hurriedly saluted: "Participate in Lord Shilang." β
Squire? Rick's heart shook slightly, he could vaguely guess who the other party was, but before he could speak, the squire had already smiled and said, "I'm Dasan Carlo, this must be Count Xia Hua?!" β
"Don't dare." Rick hurriedly replied, "See Lord Squire." β
Dasan Kahlo waved his hand, approached Rick cordially, and said, "Don't be polite to me, Earl. The voice paused. Asked. "What were you two talking about?"
Wei Mang said: "Lord Earl sent the talisman. It just so happened that Lord Shangshu was not there......"
"I see." Dasan Kahlo laughed, "This is a small matter, you don't have to make another trip, just give me the talisman." β
Rick knew that Dasan Kalo, the son of the Prime Minister, was the Squire of the War Department, and that there was nothing wrong with handing him the talisman, so he was happy to hand it over immediately. So, he gave him the talisman. Then he casually agreed to a few words and left. Darsan Kahlo looked at Rick's departing back, and his expression suddenly darkened. It's like a sudden change in weather. It's a pity that Wei Mang also left, so no one saw it.
As soon as Rick stepped at the door of the house, Tang Zhaoxian followed closely. Rick grinned and greeted her, grabbed her waist with one hand and said, "I am really touched by your initiative." β
Tang Zhaoxian said with a worried face: "Are you still in the mood to joke at this time?" β
Rick was stunned, "What's wrong?" β
Tang Zhaoxian glanced at him worriedly, and despite a thousand reluctances, she still took on the role of reading the holy decree. Rick also reluctantly knelt down on one knee to meet the holy decree.
After the decree was read, Tang Zhaoxian sighed lightly and said, "Now you know why I'm worried? β
Rick stood up and said with a smile: "Both an official and a knight." Isn't it nice that I'm on par with you now? β
"Don't you think it's a trap?"
Rick smiled slightly, "Actually, I had expected this for a long time. β
"Really?"
"Fake." The smile on Rick's face immediately turned to a wry smile. "But I'm not afraid of those who hide in the dark and want to kill me and harm me, but Your Majesty is a little ruthless."
Tang Zhaoxian said: "Your Majesty let me tell you a word." β
"What's the matter?"
"If you want to get as much as you want, you have to pay a lot of money."
Rick opened his arms and laughed, "It seems that Your Majesty really understands me, and there is such a sentence, no matter how much I am dissatisfied, I should laugh it off freely." β
"You're not worried about those who are going to work against you? It is said that there is a powerful force behind that Sheriman. β
Rick stopped, looked at Tang Zhaoxian's eyes with burning eyes, and said seriously: "In this world, there is only one thing that scares me, and that is that my woman has abandoned me. β
Tang Zhaoxian's body trembled slightly, and her eyes were a little moist and said, "Aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth?" β
Rick grabbed her hands and pressed them to his face, "That's for the enemy." β
Tang Zhaoxian gently stroked Rick's resolute face, and smiled warmly: "That proves that you are still immature." β
Rick is sensitive to the word "mature", and immediately argues when he hears this: "I'm a big man, how can I be immature?" β
"Men don't say it with their mouths." Tang Zhaoxian smiled, "Although you are already a tall man on the surface, but your heart is not mature enough, sometimes I really doubt that you are not yet an adult, tell me how old are you?" β
Rick said angrily: "Maturity has nothing to do with age, don't guess." β
Tang Zhaoxian obviously didn't intend to dwell on this issue, and after smiling meaningfully, she asked instead, "After meeting with His Majesty, you should have a question in your heart." β
Rick's tone was slightly deep, and he said, "Are you talking about the envoy of the Qin Ministry?" Since I didn't mention it, I don't want to ask. This matter has nothing to do with me. I am only responsible for escorting the envoy from Dakai to the imperial capital, and since he had an accident before he arrived in Kai, presumably His Majesty should also know that it is not my head to blame. β
"Your Majesty doesn't mean to blame you." Tang Zhaoxian said, "So I didn't plan to mention it at all when I summoned you, and now this matter has been handed over to the Foreign Secretary and Grand Duke Singo to jointly take responsibility." β
"That's good. We're happy to have it easy, too. Rick said, "But is there anything wrong with you mentioning this now?" β
Tang Zhaoxian nodded and said, "Four days later, it will be the Heavenly God Festival, and now the envoys from all countries have come to the imperial capital. Originally, this matter could have been dealt with after the Heavenly God Festival, after all, the Qin Department and the country were thousands of miles apart, and it was not convenient to contact each other. However, news has just come from the Xiangrong Country that Qin Yao, the third prince of the Qin Department who was staying in the territory of the Xiangrong Kingdom, had set off for the empire half a month ago and arrived in the imperial capital in a few days. Qin Yao's envoy was killed halfway, and it was still impossible to predict how Qin Yao would react. If one is not handled well, it will give people a handle and fall into a diplomatic dilemma. (Note: Celestial Day.) The Blue Moon Empire's most important festival, which takes place from February 16 to February 18 every year, was originally to pray for the blessings of the gods, and has since evolved into the most extensive public festival. οΌ
"Things may be even worse than you think." Rick adds, "If I'm right, the three-day festival of Tenjin Festival will be a time when clowns from all sides take the stage. β
At this point, Rick turned to laugh and said, "But I believe that Your Majesty must have a complete solution." β
A look of doubt flashed in Tang Zhaoxian's eyes, and she said, "You seem to be more sure than yourself." β
Rick smiled silently. Tang Zhaoxian knew that she couldn't ask anything anymore, and she didn't plan to ask again, so she asked the attendant outside the door to bring in a boxy brocade box. Rick opened it and saw that it contained dozens of phantom beast eggs. These phantom beast eggs are brightly colored and unusually shiny, which makes Rick love it. If he hadn't already had three phantom beasts, he would definitely be tempted to keep one or two of their eggs for himself.
Tang Zhaoxian said: "This is what I picked with my own hands. They are all high-grade phantom beast eggs, and three of them are still wisdom-level phantom beast eggs. β
"I guess it must be wise." Rick picked up a beast egg that was faintly covered in multicolored flames.
Tang Zhaoxian said with a smile: "This is a multicolored jade beast, anyone can see it at a glance, but the remaining two wisdom-level beast eggs are not easy to distinguish." β
Rick snorted unconvinced, although he didn't know how to distinguish the level of the phantom beast, but he still had a certain eye for rare things, as long as he looked closely, he could at least guess eight out of ten.
He carefully looked at the phantom beast eggs in the brocade box, and gradually realized that it was not easy to distinguish which was the wise-level beast egg, at this moment, his hand suddenly touched a pure white beast egg in the corner, originally in all kinds of colorful beast eggs, he would not notice this beast egg with only one color - because the more advanced the phantom beast egg, the more gorgeous the color is usually it, but this pure white phantom beast egg gave him an unusually cold feeling when he touched it. He couldn't help but pick up the phantom beast egg and observe it carefully, only then did he realize the strangeness of this beast egg, there was a cold vapor steaming outside the beast egg, and faintly formed a flame-like pattern in the air. This scene of wonder made Rick realize, and he smiled, "This is also wise." β
Tang Zhaoxian nodded happily and said, "Yes, this is an Ice and Fire Phoenix. It's a bit similar to a real phantom beast. β
"That's great." Rick said, "I wanted a flying phantom beast. β
"I really talked to me about it, saying that there is a little girl in the house, and she dreams of having a flying phantom beast like her all day long."
Rick just wanted to say, "The little girl is 6 Yuyi", when suddenly someone shouted outside the door: "People are not little girls." β
Rick smiled and said, "That's it, it's not a little girl's little girl." β
6 Yuyi walked in with an unconvinced face, and it seemed that if Rick didn't give her an explanation about the "little girl", her anger would not subside.
Tang Zhaoxian affectionately pulled her to her side and asked, "Little sister, what's your name?" β
"I'm not a little sister, I'm fifteen years old, only two years younger than Rick's brother. My name is 6 Yu Yi, and I have a name. 6 Yuyi seriously corrected Tang Zhaoxian's "mistakes".
"But you look much smaller than he is." Tang Zhaoxian said with a smile.
6 Yu Yi pursed his lips unconvinced and said, "I will grow taller soon." β
"In that case, we don't call you little girl, little sister, it's always okay to call you Xiaoyi, right?!" Rick chuckled.
6 Yuyi nodded happily, obviously very satisfied with this title, but she didn't notice the subsequent sly expression on Rick's face, this expression happened to be seen by Tang Zhaoxian, she looked at 6 Yuyi, and then at Rick, and shook her head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
