The first is Mu Yuqinxin, followed by Mu Qianhe......

One afternoon in November, Brandon Peter came to the Temple of Prayer for Rain and paid a visit to the lily of the valley. In the side hall of the temple, an old man and a young man sit opposite each other, roasting the fire and drinking afternoon tea, while discussing the arrangements for the next month's festival of the gods.

"Is Xiaoqing still in charge of this year's float parade?" Brandon took a sip of black tea, then put down the white porcelain cup with cherry lace and asked seriously.

"Yes, Grandpa Brandon." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley replied.

"Xiaoqing is a good boy...... Brandon touched his beard and sighed, "I remember when she first came, she was thin and small, and asked her what she liked to eat, and she said that she would eat everything, which was really distressing...... I didn't expect it to grow so big in a blink of an eye. ”

"yes." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley echoed, the voice was neither salty nor light, and people couldn't hear the taste.

"Oh, by the way......" As he spoke, Brandon seemed to remember something, and after a moment's notice, he asked, "What did Xiaoqing think about the matter of my second great-grandson mentioned last time?" ”

"Grandpa Brandon, Xiaoqing has no plans to return to the world for the time being." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley said expressionlessly.

"Hmm......" Brandon twisted his beard and muttered for a while, then sighed and said, "Xiaoyu, we are all smart people, open the skylight and say something." ”

"You are an elder, if you have any opinions, please advise." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley smiled lightly and made a "please" gesture.

"Tell me, does Xiaoqing have someone she likes?" Brandon asked.

Mu Yu Lily of the Valley hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded gently.

"Is it one of the eight nobles of our thirteenth silver city?" Brandon asked again.

Mu Yu Lily of the Valley shook her head.

"For thousands of years, we have been loyal to the Temple, and the Temple has been accountable to us, right?" Brandon continued.

"Yes." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley nodded.

"So......" Brandon straightened up and asked, "should Xiaoqing stay here according to our custom?" Without waiting for Mu Yu Lily of the Valley to answer, he continued, "For this period of time, we will give you what you want, we have proved our loyalty to the temple with practical actions, and as a new generation of rain prayers, should you show some sincerity?" ”

Mu Yu Lily of the Valley didn't answer, just closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Brandon sighed deeply and said, "Xiaoyu, grandpa is not forcing you to ......"

"I ...... I know ......" Mu Yu Lily of the Valley lowered her head and replied.

"I don't want to bully women, let alone children, but it's our traditional ......," Brandon paused and continued, "Some sacrifices and trade-offs are essential for the sake of internal unity, and I'm sure your mother will agree with me." ”

"Xiaoyu, understand......" Mu Yu said with difficulty.

"Children, maybe after a while, you will find that love is only a small part of life, not irreplaceable, only a long-term, stable and comfortable living environment is our ultimate pursuit." Brandon said earnestly, "At this year's Celebration Day Ball, let Xiaoqing and the young people of each family get to know each other, isn't there anyone in our entire Silver City Thirteen who can make her look at it?" ”

"I'll think about your words." Mu Yu Lily of the Valley pondered for a while and said sincerely.

"Xiaoyu, you have been a sensible child since you were a child, we old guys all believe in you, and we hope that you can distinguish the importance of things." With that, Brandon got up and took his leave.

Listening to the footsteps that gradually faded away, Mu Yu Lily of the Valley fell into a long contemplation. According to the custom of the Temple of Prayer for Rain, some sisters should return to the world, unite with the nobility of the realm in the diocese, give birth to offspring, and then return to the temple to serve. With the bond of blood, the long-term unity between the temple and the nobles of the realm can be guaranteed. And Mu Yuqinxin's identity is more special, she is not only the sister of praying for rain, but also the priest of the temple, which is the most suitable to become the link between the nobles of the territory and the temple.

Brandon Peter's personal persuasion meant that there was no room for detours. But this is not to blame them, even if the rain sacrifice of the previous generation was here, they would have made the same decision. Since ancient times, only the bond of blood can ensure the common good.

Perhaps, they should all grow up and no longer be willful. That person is a gust of wind, a fire, but not an eternal reliance......

"Crackle!"

The fire in the fireplace danced happily, with the occasional crunch or two, and a faint woody scent.

At the same time, thousands of miles away from her, Mu Qianhe in the dark jungle also encountered similar trouble. After receiving an injection of 150,000 gold coins, the Suzaku Regiment developed rapidly, newly recruited five senior mecha pilots, equipped five Tiger mechas, recruited a group of skilled scouts, and expanded the mecha maintenance team. At present, the team has begun to take shape and has the ability to take charge of the operation.

But with the growth of the team, it gradually attracted the coveting of others.

Several small nobles who had checked Mu Qianhe's family background proposed a marriage to the Golden Horn herdsman family in the Far East. Since Mu Qianhe's family is only a small side branch of the Mu family, and can be favored by the small nobles of the western continent, Mu Baiyu, the head of the family, is naturally very happy.

As a result, emails urging her to go back on a blind date appeared in her mailbox one after another, which made her feel a headache. She wanted to refuse, but she couldn't. As a Far Eastern woman, it is an eternal truth to follow the arrangements of the elders in the family. If she doesn't go back, her parents will be reprimanded by the clansmen.

What's more, that person has abandoned her to chase her dreams. If she gritted her teeth and persevered like this, what kind of results would she wait for?

Between gains and losses, she was confused. A woman's youth is always extremely short, and if she can't find a home when she is young, she may be lonely in this life. Maybe it's also a good choice to find a suitable partner, then have a few children, and simply live your life. After all, in a person's life, in addition to oneself, one must also take into account the feelings of others. She was not afraid of such a fate, because she had already loved vigorously and deserved it. But her parents will be sad about it.

And in the same period of time, the threshold of the Qin family's mansion was about to be broken by the matchmaker of ten miles and eight towns. However, Qin Baoshan refused them one by one, the reason was: "The three girls have men, please go back." ”

In the midst of all the disturbances, the first heavy snow of early winter quietly arrived, covering the whole world with a white veil.

In the early morning, as soon as the iron slag had eaten breakfast, he was called out of the cell by the prison guards, and came to the open space in the middle of the castle wearing heavy shackles to enjoy a rare time to relax.

"Hey! Friend, is there any smoke? A thin old man stepped forward and asked.

Iron Slag shook his head, and the old man left disappointed.

"Sir, do you want something cool, just a gold coin." A teenager with twinkling eyes leaned over and whispered.

"Huh?" Iron Slag frowned.

"Good Jack." The boy glanced left and right and said.

"Not interested." Iron Slag replied.

"Okay." The teenager shrugged his shoulders and left.

Just as Iron Slag and the boy were talking, in another place in the clearing, several strong men gathered around and discussed in a low voice.

"Aren't you going to teach him a lesson, Stickhammer? Let's go. A strong man said defiantly.

"Of course I'll teach that newcomer a lesson, but it's not the time yet." Said the strong man known as the "mallet".

"When is the time?" Another strong man asked with a smile.

"I'll rip his guts open!" The mallet clenched his fist, and the knuckles clicked.

"Hey, hey, look, he's coming." At this moment, a strong man looked behind the mallet and said.

The mallet hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see the young man stepping on the snow and walking over step by step. His mouth suddenly opened wide, as if he was frightened stupidly.

"I heard someone was going to teach me a lesson, didn't you?" Iron Slag stood in front of the mallet and asked lightly.

"You must have misheard." The mallet said respectfully.

"Are you questioning my hearing?" Iron Slag frowned and asked.

"This ......," the mallet subconsciously took a step back and said, "Those who dare to say this must be tired of life." ”

"Why are you here?" Instead of dwelling on the question, Iron Slag asked about something else.

"I watched something I shouldn't have seen." The mallet thought for a moment and said.

"I took something I shouldn't have taken." The strong man on the left said.

"I spent some money that I shouldn't have spent." The strong man on the right said.

"Do you want to play word games with me?" As soon as the words fell, the three strong men flew upside down and fell on the snow.

After a few moments, the four of them crouched together again, and Iron Slag glanced around and introduced himself, "I'm in love with someone I shouldn't love." ”

"High!" The mallet gave a thumbs up adoringly. Then, he asked, "Big brother, how many years have you been sentenced?" ”

"I don't know." Iron Slag replied. Indeed, no one had ever told him when he would be able to leave here.

"Life imprisonment, we are ...... too" The mallet held out his hand towards the iron slag.

After shaking hands with the three of them and chatting for a while, Iron Slag got a general understanding of their situation. The mallet was originally a minor nobleman, but he accidentally saw a document about the "Aurora" plane and was sent here. And the specific content of that information, he didn't understand at all, only knew that it was a new plane.

As for the other two, they were also minor nobles of the Western Continent, and because they had made some mistakes, they were imprisoned here. According to them, the prisoners here are all death row inmates, and there is no definite sentence. They either have some social influence, or they have special talents, or their families are particularly wealthy and can pay high prison management fees, so they are not summarily executed.
