Chapter 174: Meet Again

Mei Changqing came to the street after leaving the old man's office, looked at the time and found that it was already noon, looking at the various snack bars on the bustling streets of the imperial capital, Mei Changqing also felt a little hungry. After being woken up by the old man in the morning, he didn't even eat breakfast, so he was dragged around the imperial capital.

Although the people of the empire live in dire straits, but the surface work is still good, the streets of the imperial capital are not only clean and tidy, but also all kinds of shops are well repaired, Mei Changqing found an ordinary looking ramen shop and planned to try it, came to this world for more than ten years Mei Changqing is living in the northern region, usually eat some roast mutton and the like, and after a long time, he also misses the taste of his hometown.

"Well, isn't it?" When I wanted to go in and try the taste, Mei Changqing found that she didn't bring a wallet, the gold coins in this world are still quite heavy, and it is not convenient to carry them on her body, and after coming to this world, Mei Changqing is generally too lazy to bring her wallet when she goes out.

"Alas, isn't this Mei Changqing?" Just when Mei Changqing was worried that he didn't bring money, Joan of Arc appeared behind Mei Changqing, and the familiar dress and big braids were indescribably cute.

"Ah, it's Joan of Arc." After seeing Joan of Arc, Mei Changqing nodded and said hello.

"Do you want to eat at this restaurant too, let's go together." Joan of Arc greeted Mei Changqing in a friendly way, and went to have lunch together.

"Yes, it's just..."Mei Changqing said with some embarrassment, Joan of Arc invited him to have lunch together, of course Mei Changqing didn't want to refuse, this was a good opportunity to have a good relationship with Joan of Arc, but Mei Changqing didn't bring money, and it was not good to talk to Joan of Arc directly.

"Huh? What's wrong? Seeing that Mei Changqing was a little squirming, Joan of Arc asked suspiciously.

"I didn't bring any money." Mei Changqing replied truthfully.

"Alas~ I really can't help you, children are children, I'll invite you at noon today." Joan of Arc looked at Mei Changqing and sighed helplessly, rubbed Mei Changqing's hair like a big sister, and pulled Mei Changqing into the ramen shop.

"I'm not a child." Mei Changqing muttered two dissatisfied words and entered the ramen shop.

"Boss, two large bowls of ramen." Joan of Arc said to the owner of the ramen shop as she walked into the ramen shop.

"Oh~Okay, Joan of Arc is here with her boyfriend today~" The owner of the ramen restaurant, an uncle in his 40s, greeted Joan of Arc with a smile when he saw him.

"It's not a boyfriend, it's just a friend I just met." Hearing what the boss said, Joan of Arc explained loudly.

"Hahahaha, no, no, no. Oops, Joan of Arc has also reached the age of love~" The boss smiled and left to prepare ramen.

"Really, that uncle, Mei Changqing, you don't have to care about him."

"Well, Joan of Arc looks like you're still quite popular in the imperial capital." The relationship between the uncle of the noodle shop and Joan of Arc seems to be very good, to the point that they can joke with each other, which makes Mei Changqing a little surprised, he has not had such a good relationship with him in this world for more than ten years, except for his sister Estes and his parents in this life.

"Really? Actually, it's okay, as long as you have more contact with them, you will find that they are still very easy to get along with. Joan of Arc said with a grin, a hint of pride flashing in her big blue eyes.

Mei Changqing looked at the girl's beautiful smile, and couldn't help but be a little stunned, Joan of Arc was very beautiful when she laughed, unlike Estes, Estes looked like a blue rose on the high ridge, noble and cold. Joan of Arc is like a lily in the mountains, pure with a hint of warmth.

"The noodles are ready, and it's still the same enlarged version as before." The uncle of the noodle restaurant brought two large bowls of ramen and put them on the table, and said with a smile, "Boy, you have to treat Joan of Arc well in the future, otherwise I won't let you go." ”

"Uncle~ I said I don't have a boyfriend." Joan of Arc said angrily.

"Oops, oops, Joan of Arc is shy, I'll go first." The uncle hurriedly left after putting the noodles away.

"Joan of Arc, do you have a boyfriend?" Mei Changqing asked with some curiosity, Joan of Arc is still very good-looking, in terms of appearance, it is no worse than those harems in her own family, and her personality is also very good, in general, she is a very ideal candidate for a girlfriend.

"No, I don't want to have a boyfriend now, and now the empire needs me more." Joan of Arc is worthy of being a saint in the past, always taking it as her mission to save the suffering.

…… So is her wish to revitalize the empire and remove the darkness from this world?

Thinking of his task, Mei Changqing planned to ask another question that had not been answered in the morning: "Joan of Arc, can you tell me what your wish is now?" ”

"Hmm~" Joan of Arc shook her head vigorously, "I later thought it wasn't good to casually tell someone I just met about my wishes." ”

"But I'm the one to make your wish come true." Mei Changqing intends to know the reason.

"I'll tell you when I think you can fulfill my wishes, now eat well." Joan of Arc seemed to have made up her mind not to tell Mei Changqing and beckoned Mei Changqing to dinner.

"Alas, well, well. I know. Mei Changqing didn't plan to force it when he couldn't ask, after all, he still had a lot of time, and he wasn't in a hurry, if he pushed too hard to make Joan of Arc disgusted, it wouldn't be good.

Lunch ended soon, and after Mei Changqing said goodbye to Joan of Arc, Mei Changqing returned home and began to study the information given by the old man, and the cost of his future work.

The information given by the old man is mainly about the property and personnel of the various nobles in the imperial capital, as well as the information of some forces, but it is worth noting that there is no information about the emperor in it, it is clear that the emperor is the most terrifying combat power in this world, and a powerful emperor can even lead a war, but the old man's information does not mention it at all.

"Strange, why isn't there any information about this in the information that the old man gave me? It's such an important thing, but there is no mention of it. ”

Mei Changqing, who had read the information roughly, looked at General Bude's information with some doubts, this guy was called the strongest existence together with Estes a few years later, but it only said that he was a powerful general, not to mention his emperor who controlled thunder and lightning, and he didn't even say whether it was an emperor or not.

Although there is a lot of information, most of the content is about the perverted hobbies of some nobles, such as the Marquis Nensky of the empire likes cute blue children, and a relative of the minister likes beautiful female corpses, etc., in short, there is no useful information.

It seems that after a few hours of those materials, Mei Changqing threw them aside, rubbed his eyes a little tiredly, and read about a third of the thick pile of materials, although he didn't remember much, but he also roughly understood how corrupt and degenerate the bureaucrats of the empire were.

About one-third of the empire's annual taxes were embezzled by the bureaucrats, who either bribed or bought strange things to satisfy their own strange needs.

"Alas~ No matter how you look at it, it feels like the empire is coming to an end." Mei Changqing said helplessly, look at who are the people in power in the empire? There are not many people who do things, and finally a few of them can do things, or the kind of guy who is mentally abnormal or has serious corruption and bribery, if he didn't know the plot, Mei Changqing would even think that this country would be gg in a few years.

"Forget it, anyway, there are still those old men on top, it should be no problem in a year or two, and after a few years, my sister will grow up, so I don't have to worry about the destruction of the empire." Mei Changqing knew how terrifying Estes was after obtaining the Ice Emperor's Demon Essence, which was a terrifying existence that could not be intimidated by a single person who singled out millions of elite revolutionary troops and more than a dozen Emperor Tools.

Mei Changqing was thinking about the affairs of the empire in bed, and fell asleep after thinking about it, and when he woke up the next day, he found that it was noon, and Fude's black-clad sunglasses bodyguard appeared outside the door of Mei Changqing's house again.

"Mr. Forde has told you to meet him in the afternoon, and I have something to say to you face to face." The bodyguard left such a sentence and turned to leave.

"Alas, what's the matter, I haven't finished reading what I was given, so it can't be that you want to show me something again, right?" Mei Changqing thought with a headache, but now he couldn't disobey Fude's words, so he immediately tidied up and set off for Fude's office.

Fude's office was on the edge of the imperial capital, and it took a lot of time for Mei Changqing to walk over, and by the time Mei Changqing arrived at Fude's office, it had already been almost an hour, and Fude had finished his lunch at this time and sat comfortably on the chair drinking tea.

"Oh, you're finally here, you're welcome, just find a place to sit." After seeing Mei Changqing, Fude greeted Mei Changqing warmly.

"Old man, what are you looking for me?" After walking into Fude's office, Mei Changqing found that there was a purple-haired girl with glasses standing next to Fude.

"Hehe, come and introduce you, this is my granddaughter, called Xi'er." The old man pulled Xi'er to him and introduced him to Mei Changqing.

"Hello, Ciel." Mei Changqing said hello gently, this girl Mei Changqing still knows, with a cute expression, wearing a cheongsam, and a cute little face like a doll, it is the emperor who used huge scissors in the first lunch attack in the original plot, and I remember that it seems to be the Chinese mother who was killed by the hundred-armed giant.

"Hello." Xi'er showed a cute smile at Mei Changqing, and her somewhat dumb expression reminded Mei Changqing of her contract character Wiz, who also often showed a somewhat stupid smirk.

…… Alas~ Then again, I really don't know how she is doing in the real world Riviz, has she been bullied?

Thinking of Wiz's submissive character, Mei Changqing couldn't help but be a little worried.

"How's that, it's cute, isn't it?" The old man said proudly like Mei Changqing.

"Not bad, not bad." Mei Changqing nodded, not caring at all that Xi'er was staring at her and her face was flushed.

"Then, that Mei Changqing." Ciel lowered her head shyly, as if she was going to bury her face in the *** on her chest, "Is there anything dirty on my face?" ”

"No, Xi'er's face is very clean, and her shy appearance is also very cute, I like it very much~" Seeing Xi'er cowering like a little hamster, Mei Changqing couldn't help but flirt.

"Oh~" Listening to Mei Changqing's words, Xi'er trembled and lowered her face.

"Alright, alright, boy, you give me enough time." Fude can't stand it anymore, this kid dares to tease his precious granddaughter like this, it's just too much.

"Boy, I want you to take care of Xi'er for a while, I have something to go out recently, this is my work note, take a good look at it, and return it to me when I come back." The old man said as he took out a heavy black notebook and handed it to Mei Changqing.

…… What's the situation, the old man's student still delivers his wife?

"Where are you going, old man?" Mei Changqing asked with some curiosity, it is not easy to find someone to take care of his granddaughter with the status of this old man, why do you want to find yourself?

"Why do you ask so much?" Fu Dao glared at Mei Changqing, "If you dare to let my precious granddaughter get hurt while the old man is away, see how I clean you up when I come back." ”

"Alright, okay, rest assured." Mei Changqing waved his hand at Fude and said that you can rest assured that you will never have a problem.

"Also, you remember to take a closer look at my book, the knowledge in it is the old man's hard work, study hard." Fu didn't seem to be at ease with Mei Changqing, and said it again. 2

"Got it, when are you leaving, old man?"

"Hmm... I'll leave tomorrow, and I don't know how long it will take, but you can rest assured that it will only take a month at most. Forde thought for a moment and said.

"Alas~ accepted me as your student, but walked away without teaching anything?"

"What does it mean to walk away? The old man has written all his life's skills in that book, and if you learn the things in that book, it is equivalent to getting the old man's inheritance, and do you still need the old man to teach you next to you? ”

"So?" Mei Changqing flipped through the book in his hand with some disbelief, "Then again, old man, why is there nothing about the emperor's envoy in the information you gave me?" ”

"Cut, boy, don't think how powerful the emperor is, the emperor is more symbolic for the empire, you don't really think that with any powerful emperor tool, you can defeat a hundred, right?" The old man looked at Mei Changqing with disdain.

"Alas~ isn't it?" Mei Changqing asked in surprise.

"You're still too tender, the emperor's ability is, in the final analysis, just to transform the organs on the body of the dangerous species, although some of the power is good, but in the face of absolute troops, do you think the emperor's ability will be effective? No matter how good you are, I'll drag you to death with hundreds of people. ”

…… Is it? How do I remember that my sister alone did millions of troops?

Mei Changqing, who has read the comic of "Chopping the Crimson Pupil", is very clear about the importance of the emperor's envoy in this world, and the combat power of Estes in the later stage of the comic is one of the best even among the summoned characters at level 6, but this old man doesn't seem to attach so much importance to the emperor.

"Boy, go back if it's okay, I'll send someone to send Xi'er to you later, and I'll trouble you then." Seeing that Mei Changqing was silent, Fu thought that Mei Changqing had listened to his words, so he waved his hand to let Mei Changqing leave.

After returning home, Mei Changqing put away the notebook given by the old man, and soon after, several black-clothed bodyguards came with Xi'er, at this time Xi'er was wearing a beautiful purple cheongsam and a pair of purple-framed glasses, with a dull smile, giving people the feeling of a big sister next door, the only thing that people cared about was the huge scissors that Xi'er was holding in his hand, which seemed to be called the emperor of all things. 1

"Then I'll trouble you for the next few days, Mei Changqing." Xi'er bowed slightly to Mei Changqing to express her gratitude.

"It's nothing, after all, Teacher Fu has also taught me a lot of things, and it is also appropriate to help him take care of you, just treat this place as your own home, and don't be so restrained." Mei Changqing waved her hand and said that it didn't matter, Xi'er was also a beauty no matter what she said, and she only took care of it for a few days, it was no big deal.

"That Ciel, what's that scissor of yours?" Mei Changqing pretended to be reluctant to ask, although Xi'er is the first character of the protagonist Fang, this does not mean that Xi'er's strength is not strong, her imperial tool is known as a terrible weapon that can be cut no matter what.

"This? It was a gift from my grandfather before he left, it seemed to be an imperial tool, and my grandfather said not to use it until there was no danger. Ciel said as she happily touched her scissors.

"Is that so?" Mei Changqing looked at the imperial tool in Xi'er's hand, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, didn't the old man say that he would go out to do something and come back in a month at most? Why do you want to leave such an important imperial tool to your granddaughter, and pass on what you have learned in your life to yourself, this is not like going out to do something at all, but it is a bit like entrusting a will.

Mei Changqing suddenly found that what the old man had done before leaving was a little abnormal, and gave his beloved granddaughter to someone he had just met to take care of, and gave him a precious imperial tool for self-defense. If you're really afraid of what you're going to do to Xi'er, wouldn't it be better to just give Xi'er to someone you know to take care of?

Just when Mei Changqing was suspicious, in a hidden basement outside the imperial capital, Fu and several old men got together, and among the old men were not only the generals of the empire, but also many high-ranking officials of the empire.

"So can we start implementing our plan?" One of the old men with a black hat on his head asked, he was the official who managed the finances of the empire.

"Yes, I have figured out the security forces around the minister, and we need about 100,000 troops for this operation." Forde said with a smile squinting his eyes.

"100,000 old men can take it out, but it will take at least 15 days." A tall man said that if Mei Changqing was present, he would definitely recognize that the person in front of him was the old general who took him to the northern border of the empire to fight.

"Can you guarantee that there are no moles of ministers in your army?" Forde asked.

"After all, that's 100,000 people, and the old man can't guarantee it." The old general shook his head and said.

"Otherwise, we will directly explain the sins committed by the minister to the little emperor, anyway, we already have absolute evidence." Said the Justices of the Empire.

"It's useless, the little emperor doesn't listen to us at all." Fude shook his head and said helplessly.

"Send the army directly into the imperial capital, and then force the minister to hand over the little emperor, we don't have time to run out, the minister has already begun to attack us." The old general said.

"Okay, we'll start moving when your army arrives in the imperial capital fifteen days later, and as long as this success comes the empire, the empire will definitely return to its original state." The justice said excitedly.

"Yes, then I wish us success in this plan, and a toast to the future of the Empire." Forde took out the wine he had treasured for many years, poured a glass for everyone, and everyone raised their glasses together.

"Cheers to the future of the Empire."

It's just that they don't know that their every move has long been known to the minister, at this time the minister is in the hall of the palace, and there are more than a dozen different imperial tools on a long table in front of him, these imperial tools have been collected by various departments of the empire over the years, and only the emperor is qualified to take them all out, but now the minister uses the emperor as an excuse that he is old, and all of them are managed by him.

"These are the emperors in the empire, you can choose any one." The minister held a chicken leg in his mouth, and said vaguely, next to the minister stood a woman with long silver and blue hair, the woman was wearing a white military uniform, and her face was cold, this woman was Estes.

"Any one of them?" Estes picked up a huge axe, swung it twice, and put it down.

"Yes, but once you've chosen, you're going to help me quell the next rebellion." The minister said proudly, "Kill all the rebels, and I will ask the emperor to make you a general of the empire." ”

"Isn't it too much to just promote me to general just because it's just a rebellion?" Estes picked up another ring and looked at it, Estes was most interested in it, because she remembered that her brother's imperial tool was also a ring.

"Do you have a crush on that? It's a very good tool that can manipulate liquids. The minister looked at it and said.

"Manipulating liquids, it's a pity that it doesn't fit with me." Estes shook her head and lowered the ring, she could feel it resisting her.

"What? Don't have a favorite? Seeing that Estes put down another imperial tool, the minister asked with some curiosity, Estes's force is what he needs, the minister believes that with Estes's combat power, he knows that with the emperor's tools, he can at least beat the old stubborn in the palace, and now Estes is only twelve years old, you can imagine how terrible Estes will be in the future.

"These are all worse, is there a stronger one?" Estes asked.

"Yes, there is, but that emperor is a cursed emperor that no one has successfully mastered." The minister thought for a moment and said.

"Oh? The cursed emperor? Interesting, take a look. Estes' delicate face showed a hint of curiosity.

"That's it, at that time, a dangerous kind of blood, drinking that can get supreme power, but all those who have drunk that blood are inexplicably crazy." The minister pointed to a golden jar containing a large amount of blood.

"Is this it?" The moment she opened the jar, Estes suddenly felt a throbbing in her heart, as if a voice was telling her that this was what she really wanted.

"Well, that's it." Estes picked up the jar and prepared to drink the blood.

"Are you sure," the Chancellor looked at Estes nervously, "that's a very dangerous thing." ”

"Yes, since it's the emperor, then I'll drink it all."

"Hey, wait." Hearing that Estes was about to drink all the blood in the jar, the minister hurried forward to stop it. The person who used to be bloody, even if he just drank it, would go crazy, and this woman actually wanted to drink it all?

It's a pity that the minister is still a step too late, and Estes has already drunk all the blood of the dangerous seeds in the jar in one go. After drinking, Estes suddenly felt a crazy killing intent surging in his head, as if tens of millions of people were screaming incessantly.

"Ahh Estes clutched his head as if he was crazy, and his delicate little face was distorted by the noisy screams in his head.

After a while, just when the minister thought that Estes had failed, Estes stopped screaming, and his distorted face turned back to being as cold as ice. Estes raised a hand, and a gorgeous ice sword instantly appeared in his hand, and the cold air emitted by the ice sword made the minister shiver.

"Is this the power that Xiaoqing has in his hands?" Looking at the cold ice in his hand, Estes showed a domineering and dangerous smile.

Thanks Gensokyo. The reward of the life shot pill text, by the way, more friends are welcome to collect and recommend~

In the ten days after Mei Changqing got the notebook given by the old man, Mei Changqing would find time to read the notebook every day. In general, there are three types of knowledge recorded in the notebook, namely psychology, how to obtain information, and how to assassinate. In these three aspects, the old man can be said to be a master-level figure, not only systematically explaining them, but also putting forward a lot of his own ideas.

For example, in psychology, the old man summed up the use of micro-expressions, and in terms of obtaining information, the old man actually learned the Sherlock Holmes reasoning and deduction method, as for the issuance of assassinations, there are countless of them, after a cursory reading, Mei Changqing couldn't help but be a little suspicious, that the old man would not be a traverser, right?
