Chapter 13 Painting the Heart
Prince Huayan returned to his residence in the outer courtyard of Xishan in silence.
The reason why he was in the West Mountain of the Moon Temple was because he had a corrupt style in Drifting Snow City last year, which provoked the thunder of the Red Golden Khan Ramosa and sent him here to reflect.
Before he arrived at the Moon Temple, he had heard that the female monks in the Moon Temple were as beautiful as flowers, and the country was beautiful and fragrant. When he came, he was relaxed and happy all the way, but when he arrived at the Twin Peaks, he could only live in the West Mountain and be neighbors with a bunch of ascetics.
He has long been holding back his grievances and has nowhere to vent, so he looks forward to getting out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible. A few days ago, he learned that the three princes would send Dazai's daughter Renjie Qier from Drifting Snow City to the Moon Temple, and he stayed awake all night with excitement.
The Red Golden Khan had two queens and nine princesses. These concubines gave birth to Ramosa seventeen princes and thirty-three princesses, for a total of fifty children.
Among them, the seventeenth prince Huayan and the third prince Lei Zhe were born to the left queen Jinyi, while His Royal Highness the crown prince was born to the right queen Jinrong. The two queens have been at odds for a long time, and the resulting intrigues between the princes have long been a headache for Ramosa.
The third prince, Lei Zhe, is ten years older than the seventeenth prince. The seventeenth prince painted his face and respected the third prince Lei Zhe as a father and brother, and the two had a deep relationship.
Among the interests of several princes, the duo is the strongest pair.
The original wife of the third prince Lei Zhe has been dead for two years. In recent years, there have been rumors in Drifting Snow City that Ramosa Khan intends to marry Dazai's daughter to the third prince Reizer.
It's just that Dazai shirked that his daughter Renjie Qier is not yet an adult, so this matter will be discussed later.
The seventeenth prince knew that since the third prince Lei Zhe was willing to personally escort Ren Jie Qi'er to the Moon God Temple, he would definitely let Ren Jie Qi'er inherit the position of the young master smoothly.
At first, there were many candidates for reincarnation in various parts of the Mangyuan. Most of them withdrew or were denied by their nominees after hearing that Dazai's daughter, Renjay Kier, had been identified as a reincarnated spirit child.
Now only the county lord Han Xiye of the Zhangxiong Department is still believed to be a possible reincarnated spirit child.
So soon, Ren Jie Qi'er and Han Xiye will have a final competition in the Moon God Temple. The winning side successfully became the incomparably noble young master, and the losing side was sent to the top of the mountain to feed the eagle, which was called the sacrifice to the sky.
Of course, this is not just a contest between two girls, but also a contest between the two forces behind them.
Renjie Qi'er represents the forces from Drifting Snow City, and the Lord of Hanxi Ye represents the forces of the Zhangxiong Tribe. Because the White Horse King of the Zhangxiong Department is no longer satisfied with a corner of peace, he wants to start intervening in the internal affairs of the snowy plateau.
The seventeenth prince painted his face and naturally stood unswervingly on the side of Drifting Snow City. The reason why he wanted to strike at the floating leaves in advance was also to get all the forces of the Zhangxiong Department in the Moon God Temple before the arrival of the third prince Lei Zhe.
If the third prince, Lei Zhe, is satisfied with his performance, he can get the third prince to intercede with his father Khan and allow him to leave the Moon Temple.
But what happened today left him embarrassed. The prince of Zhangxiong didn't take him seriously at all. This made the seventeenth prince, who was accustomed to being in the limelight, unbearable.
Because he hadn't eaten breakfast before going to the cafeteria, Cheng Dong didn't dare to disturb him easily when he saw him sulking alone in the house.
Cheng Dong kindly ordered his subordinates to prepare some wine and food for him to send to the room.
On the West Mountain, the doormen are not allowed to bring too many retinues. Because there have been many followers before, because of their different conduct, too many of them gathered together and rioted repeatedly. Moreover, the nobles from all over the world brought everything, and many regional languages are not compatible, and they can't communicate well with each other when they reach the Moon Temple. Therefore, many miscellaneous servants on the West Mountain are prepared to serve the doormen from all over the world. They have been selected by the Moon God Temple in advance, and they are all composed of outstanding children from the people.
Although they were nominally slaves of the Moon Temple, the Moon Temple never treated them badly.
Like Agu, who served the floating leaves before, was a slave given to Xishan by the Zhangxiong Department. It's just that Agu is specifically responsible for taking care of the prince of the Zhangxiong tribe, and he is also the exclusive slave of the floating leaves.
But those slaves who belong exclusively to Xishan, they do not belong to the doormen.
The seventeenth prince painted his face because he was wearing a sinful body. He came with only a few retinues. He has been used to luxury since he was a child, how can he stand such a frugal life. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the West Mountain, he hired many handymen from the West Mountain.
The original entourage of the Seventeenth Prince was well aware of his temper. He was angry, and everyone hid far away. So when Cheng Dong asked people to deliver food to Huayan, several old oilers all pretended to be deaf and dumb and hid without a trace.
Cheng Dong had no choice but to temporarily find a local handyman in Xishan, who was a little girl named Huaxin.
The little girl was about to turn sixteen that day, and she got up early in the morning to dress up like a fawn.
The new seventeenth prince is very handsome, noble-born, and is the dream lover of many young girls.
Such a person can only hope for the painting heart, but dare not hope extravagantly. But if they have the opportunity to get up close, they will also feel very happy.
So when Cheng Dong asked Huaxin to help deliver food to Huayan, Huaxin readily agreed.
When Hua Yan was irritable, he saw the little girl who came to deliver the food, and his eyes lit up. He had never seen this little girl before.
He could tell from the little girl's dodgy eyes that the little girl liked him. Although he is not very old, he is a veteran of the love scene, and he is sure that he will not be mistaken.
"What's your name?" Hua Yan asked.
"The slave is called the painting heart." Draw your heart replied.
"Bold dog slave, dare not shy away from the name of the deity." Painting the face is furious.
The heart of the painting was so frightened that his courage was broken, and he quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Well, I forgive you for your sins. All you have to do now is serve me well, and pour me wine!" The prince said.
The painting heart is soaked in tears and fills the wine glass, raising a glass to drink.
After three rounds of drinking, his eyes were blurred, and he suddenly pressed the heart of the painting to the side of the couch, ignoring the girl's struggles and molested him.
The painting heart shouted bitterly.
"What's your name?" "Don't you like Prince Ben?" How many daughters of aristocratic families secretly climbed into my bed in the middle of the night, and I kicked them down, what are you dragging? You're a slave, I'm no different from a pig when I'm on you, I'm ashamed, you know? What's your name? ”
Huaxin cried: "Huaxin likes the prince as a brother, and he doesn't dare to expect anything else." ”
Painting Yan said: "You are not worthy! The deity just likes your little hands, and the white and tender ones should be delicious......"
At lunchtime, the entire outer courtyard of Xishan knew that a tragedy had occurred in the courtyard where the seventeenth prince painted his face, but everyone was silent.
At lunchtime, Fushengye rehired a new slave on the outskirts of the West Mountain. This servant was about the same age as the Floating Leaf, and his name was Su Mo.
Su Mo is mute, but he is peculiar in his ability to communicate with people in ventriloquism. He can also imitate the sounds of different people and animals in ventriloquism. It's just that most of the nobles naturally hate crippled slaves, so there aren't many people who are willing to hire Sumo.
But Su Mo still has his pride, and the price he gives himself is one percent higher than that of ordinary handymen. In order to hire Su Mo, Fushengye had to pay an extra 10% more silver than ordinary handymen.
Fushengye didn't care about this, and directly overpaid fifty percent. The extra silver did not pass through the Xishan account room, and was directly given to Su Mo himself. This made Su Mo grateful.
I had a good lunch at Su Mo in the floating leaves. Fushengye could see that Su Mo was a very responsible person, and he was also very satisfied that he could find such a servant.
In the afternoon, Su Mo came to inform a thousand-person team of the Xiangxiong Department to escort the county lord of Hanxi to the foot of Tiantai Mountain. The Chief Elder of the West Mountain, the Derivative Mage, ordered the Floating Leaf to go and greet him on behalf of the Moon Temple.
A thousand-strong team of the Zhangxiong tribe suddenly appeared in the Moon God Temple, shocking the entire Mangyuan tribe.
Such a large-scale force projection capability has made all the ministries secretly frightened. Because it has only been more than a month since the search for the reincarnated spirit child began.
In such a short period of time, if so many people walked along the border avenue of the Central Plains Empire, it would be too late to rush from the Zhangxiong Department to the Moon God Temple.
The only possibility is that they have opened up new avenues in the 100,000 mountains and primeval forests.
This means that in the future, the Zhangxiong Department will be able to continuously put a large number of troops into the snowy areas of the plateau. This will be a big event that will change the fate of the snowy plateau.
This time, the thousand-man team of the Zhangxiong Department was led by Liu Hanye, the cousin of the White Horse King.
Liu Hanye is a well-known iron-blooded brigadier general of the Xiangxiong Division. The ironclad soldiers under his command were divided into two battalions. One is the Suzaku Battalion, and the other is the Xuanwu Battalion.
The Xuanwu battalion was responsible for the defense, equipped with three hundred shieldmen, each armed with a giant spear. There are also 100 crossbowmen who are responsible for sniping enemies at close range. There are also a hundred short swordsmen who are responsible for close combat.
The Suzaku battalion consisted of 100 heavy cavalry, 300 guerrilla light cavalry, and 100 longbowmen.
This thousand-person team can attack and retreat, and its combat power is extraordinary!
