Chapter 21: Planning

Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Ying's residence was arranged in a secluded place in the palace, because they were Nero's personal knights, they could receive Nero's summons at any time, and it was impossible to choose a residence for him outside the palace, but this also saved Lin Xiu a trouble, and in this palace, it was just easier to approach the task, with the guidance of the palace maid, through the tranquility of the back garden, Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Ying traveled for more than ten minutes before they came to their residence, but the palace of the ancient empire, Neither the mysterious ancient Rome nor the mighty Britain could match the grandeur of the dragon in the east, which they did not yet know, and even at this moment, if the dragon had awakened and knew the existence of the western hemisphere, it was even possible to stretch out his dragon claws to shake the land.

In the corridor passed, there were occasionally a few pairs of guards patrolling by, looking at Lin Xiu's eyes with dodging and disdain, this is the reason for his slave status, and at the same time he has amazing swordsmanship, which will produce such complex eyes, but Lin Xiu has turned a blind eye to this, it is mediocre not to be jealous, you wait until a certain moment of aura, you will inevitably have to bear more darkness, only in this way, can you feel the dazzle of the aura.

After the palace maid brought Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Ying into their rest room, she bowed down and left, the room was lit with candles, which was not clear, or maybe it was because Nero was in a hurry and did not let the chamberlain consider that their father and daughter were two people, therefore, in the room, there was only one bed, in this regard, Lin Xiu frowned, and Jian Tong Ying on the side kept her head down from beginning to end, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking. I'm used to getting along with Lin Xiu. Knowing that quietness is what Lin Xiu needs. If you keep being bored, it's easy to make him angry.

The furnishings in the room are quite ancient Roman style, whether it is a bed or a table and chair, the legs are the carving art of the sheep's head, which is generally similar to the artistic atmosphere, generally in ancient Rome, it is the furniture style of the animal legs as a representative of respect and nobility, and the two architectural arts of Baroque and Rococo are based on the lubrication of the circle and the oval as the main theme. Purple here symbolizes nobility, the bed is very large, and the white cloth floats down the canopy of the four bedposts, which is to show the mystery of the bed, and this layout is full of Western cultural characteristics.

The furnishings in the house are reasonable, a simple dressing table, four dining chairs around the dining table, and the animal legs are all in the shape of a sheep's head, in order to indicate the identity of Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Sakura. Nero's gold armchair is carved with a lion's head and an eagle's back. In this way, the authority of the emperor is denoted by the lion, and the lion represents the dignity of kings in the West, so it will naturally become a carved model on the armrest.

"Go to sleep." Lin Xiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the bed, three simple words are an order to Jian Tong Sakura, this day will not make his body feel so tired, and even in the face of ten gladiators for him now, he can't even practice his hands, but because there are too many questions to think about, his brain is a little chaotic for a while, so he walked to the side of the chair and did it quietly, contemplating his eyebrows and thinking, maybe in this aspect, it is not his specialty, but Lin Xiu, who has been forced to a dead end, He is not an active person, but under the passive urging, he often makes his potential burst out of unexpected abilities, perhaps this is the miracle of God's creation of man.

Hearing Lin Xiu's order, she quietly walked to the edge of the bed, quietly took off her little boots with Japanese etiquette, knelt on the edge of the bed barefoot, lowered her head, and let her purple hair fall down, looking like a quiet and angry little daughter-in-law, but all this is shown in a six-year-old child, which really makes people feel funny and weird, but Lin Xiu still has a lot to think about now, and there will not be too much attention to focus on this cultivated killer.

Nero's questions, and the layout of the kill order, all the questions were entangled in his mind, he took out some utensils in the space badge, and fiddled with them on the table, now he seems to be stable, but in fact he is walking on thin ice, Agrippina is not a woman who keeps to herself, Nero is not a puppet at the mercy of others, and it just so happens that he is in the middle of this mezzanine to survive, like a sandwich package, making him the piece of meat in the middle, delicious, but squeezed by the bread on both sides.

Just when Lin Xiu was thinking about this, there was a soft sound on the door, this time was the first day that Lin Xiu and Jian Tong Sakura came to this strange country, who would knock on his door at this time? Lin Xiu opened the door with a suspicious attitude, and what caught his eye was a maid wearing court costumes, which should belong to the style of Sidora, and there were purple lines on the corners and cuffs, in order to distinguish the difference between the palace maid and the people, after all, the Silk Road has not yet opened up here, and the gorgeous style of silk has not yet spread to this country, so these costumes are already a noble embodiment at present.

This maid is not very old, has a beautiful figure, and her skin is quite delicate, if you don't look closely, she can also be regarded as a middle-class posture, but Lin Xiu's observation is not in this aspect, and what makes him care is that this palace maid should be Octavia's personal maid if he remembers correctly, if there is a summons, it should also be Nero who sent someone to find Lin Xiu, and with Lin Xiu's observation and understanding of history, it seems that the relationship between the two is very reluctant, and even Nero hates Octavia very much, Therefore, it is impossible for Nero to sleep with his wife now and let the people around him summon him, so the only possibility is that this is Octavia's arrangement, and this woman seems to be on the same side as Agrippina.

"This is some food sent by the queen, I hope you can like it, the queen is grateful for the hard work of the knight of the king today, and I hereby reward you." After the maid saluted respectfully, she stood in front of Lin Xiu with a tray, Lin Xiu also relieved her brows at this moment, turned sideways, and let the maid walk in, it seemed that he had figured out something in an instant.

The maid respectfully put the tray on the table and did not leave immediately, but stood sideways, as if waiting for Lin Xiu's reply, the food sent should be a pastry. Just for sweets. Lin Xiu has always stayed away. But it was sent by Octavia, so it was a little different.

"Please reply to the queen, the minister is grateful to my heart, and I am very honored." Lin Xiu picked up a pastry and took a bite, this simple sentence and a movement were actually a signal, the maid nodded and left satisfied, and gently closed the door, after the other party's footsteps were quietly lost. Lin Xiucai frowned and spit out the food in his mouth, he was really hard to swallow for sweets.

In fact, this signal is very simple, a bite of food shows Lin Xiu's trust, and the reply is for the queen, and he does not directly say that it is the emperor, nor does he have any inquiries and suspicions, which means that Lin Xiu has not indicated his position Whether he is on Nero's side or gives the other party a signal to win over, obviously, if Lin Xiu has any doubts or superfluous thoughts and actions. Then after this maid replies to Octavia, there will definitely be a series of follow-up measures. Now everything is still unclear, even before Nero's trust, Lin Xiu can only be a rootless duckweed, quietly waiting for the two sides to make a move.

"If you haven't slept, come and eat." Lin Xiu said simply, although he didn't look back, but Jian Tong Sakura has been kneeling and sitting there, and he can't escape his afterglow, even if it is a six-year-old girl, Lin Xiu, who has been sleeping alone, is not used to sleeping in the same bed with her, but the space badge has prepared a bed again, because of the task that has been there, there are few moments that can let him sleep quietly, even if there is, that is, lying on the ground and dealing with it casually, this rare rest time, I didn't expect the bed originally prepared for Tifa, I used it first.

Jian Tong Sakura was really a little hungry, and she was bumpy all over the day, and she hardly saw any other colors except blood, which had already made his six-year-old body feel hungry, but because of her awe of the teacher, she didn't dare to speak, and it wasn't until this time that Lin Xiu had an order that she dared to take action.

Like everyone's daughter, she obeyed the etiquette, first sat on the edge of the bed and combed her hair neatly, and then put on her little boots, and then she was a little distressed and had no place to wash her hands, frowned, and finally gave up, and quietly walked to the table and sat down, but she didn't immediately reach out to eat, and her good family education made her even if she was hungry to the point of starvation, she would not let her do something to destroy the etiquette.

Lin Xiu listened to the sound behind her for a long time, and turned her head a little puzzled, and sure enough, she saw that the cherry blossoms had been sitting there quietly and motionless, their Japanese broken customs seemed to be that she couldn't eat under the premise that a man didn't eat at the table, this broken rule was really a cheat.

"Eat quickly, only when you are full can you have the strength to kill, and forget the original useless etiquette." Lin Xiu rarely cared about the Kirizakura in his own way, but it was just this sentence, and then he didn't pay attention to it, took out the bed that had been prepared for him, and placed it in the room, and then took out the cursed book from his arms, hugged it quietly in his arms, and whispered something that Kirizakura didn't understand.

The teacher already has an order.,Don't care about those.,Otherwise, it will definitely make the teacher angry.,But Aunt Tosaka said before.,Girls who know etiquette will be liked.,So she won't throw all these things away.,Still pursed her mouth and covered her hands in front of her mouth and ate carefully.,Although this snack doesn't seem to be comparable to those in her later life.,But this is given by the teacher.,But there is also a different kind of deliciousness.。

Occasionally, I can hear the teacher's soft voice.,The words have an indescribable tenderness.,It seems to be telling a story.,The teacher often likes to hug the book like this.,It seems that the book is very important.,Only at this moment.,The teacher's indifferent side is completely gone.,The cherry blossoms of the teacher have secretly observed.,The teacher's eyes at this time,Flashing with endless tenderness and pity.,That book,It's really happy.,If the teacher one day does this to himself, how good it would be.,Well,There will be, As long as you work hard to become a useful tool for teachers, you will definitely have this day, and you will definitely be better than your sister.

The six-year-old girl cheered herself up mentally at the same time, she was also full, quietly cleaned up some residues, and stood quietly on her side as if waiting for Lin Xiu's next order.

"Go to bed when you're full, don't wait for me to say anything simple, it's better to go to bed quickly, keeping yourself in good condition is a killer must-have, I should have taught you these things, there will be no next reminder, are you an idiot?" Lin Xiu's tone was extremely untired, and his eyes were cold, completely different from the side where he was holding the book, Jian Tong Sakura nodded, she didn't care too much about this, or blamed Lin Xiu, she would only review herself for not doing a good job, and walked quietly to the bed, just like the textbook just now, she took off her little boots lightly, and there was no kicking action, and she put them on the side of the bed with both hands as little as possible without making a sound, and after that, she took off her coat and shrank into the quilt compared to her eyes.

In fact, her afterglow was still secretly observing the figure, although it was in the dark, but the teacher leaned there for a long time and never fell asleep, and even took out a cigarette and took a puff, the moonlight sprinkled on the teacher's body through the window, making him look particularly sad and beautiful.

Uncle Tosaka said before that smoking is not good for your health, and smoking is a bad habit, but the teacher will make her feel extra comfortable when she does it, and sure enough, they are all bad people, they don't like the teacher, then they are all Sakura's enemies, with this thought, the little girl fell asleep deeply.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiu still went to Nero's study to report, because he was the king's knight, his daily job was to guard Nero's side, motionless like a statue, but Nero was not those ancient emperors, most of the time indulged in the wine pond meat forest, but meticulous work, and even some civilian cases would be required to be sent here for personal examination and approval, and a case was often reviewed and read by Nero several times, and then his name would be signed and approved, He is deeply afraid that one of his negligences will lead to an irreparable situation, such an emperor, even among the ancient Chinese Ming monarchs, can be regarded as commendable, and there are only a handful.

I don't know when, Nero shrugged his shoulders, he finished his work for half a day, turned around and smiled at Lin Xiu, got up and left, Lin Xiuzhi said, this is the time to eat, because this time is a rare happy time with Brittany Ricus, so Nero will never give up the delay because of other things, take Lin Xiu, and go straight.

But none of them thought at the moment that this was such a difficult luncheon to swallow. (To be continued......)
