In this world, low-level nobles compete for wealth, middle-level nobles compete for titles and power, and top-level nobles of this level like the lord of a country generally compare the so-called family honor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It is better to lose your life than to lose your honor.

This is the concept of all the old nobles, so Bai Qi's disguise fits Princess Pinna's normal thinking by mistake, so that she can't have any doubts at all.

Returning to the Lord's Palace, he carefully observed the architectural flaws that were already a little suspicious, and once again confirmed Pinna's judgment.

"No matter what, Your Excellency Bai Qi is our savior, and he is also the lord of the dignified Jade Principality, since he wants to maintain the dignity of his family and country, we have the obligation to save this face for him.

So, Liliana, you have to think of the 'prosperity' you see as real prosperity, you know? ”

Pinna finally commanded.

"Yes, Your Highness!"

......

That night, in accordance with the normal etiquette of national exchanges, Bai Qi held a grand banquet for Princess Pinna and her party.

The lights were bright, and the nobles in the Emerald City were basically present, but fortunately, the lobby was quite large, but it did not appear congested.

Bai Qi was dressed in an elegant dress with blue trim and gold trim, revealing natural elegance and nobility between her demeanors, like an elf princess who had stepped into the world... Ahem, it's like an elf prince, so that people can't take their eyes off it at all.

"Your Highness Pinna, although it is a little late, but please let me say, welcome to the Principality of Jade, on behalf of the Winifred family, I would like to extend my most sincere greetings and blessings to you, may the Federal Kingdom be eternal!"

The last sentence was said to the nobles in the audience, and then Bai Qi raised his glass, and all the guests in the audience raised their glasses at the same time.

"May the Federal Kingdom be eternal!"

With a glass of wine in his stomach, Bai Qi was about to communicate with Pingna, but he didn't know that a middle-aged man with a fat figure jumped out from the side.

"Yo, is this the famous princess Pinna? It's been a long time, and I've been looking up to it for a long time, and I'm the Earl of the Duchy in Lower Litman Ajax! ”

According to the rules of another world, the highest title that can be granted by kingdoms and empires is duke, and the highest title in the duchy is the earl, so this Litman, in terms of title, can already be regarded as above ten thousand people under one person in the Jade Duchy.

In fact, this guy is also an old comrade-in-arms of the previous lord, and his family power is not bad, so he is actually not a bad person, but he has always had a negative attitude towards Bai Qi's new policy.

But he was quite loyal to the principality, but he just didn't support it, but he never really jumped out to oppose or obstruct it, and it seemed that he had a clear understanding of who the master of the principality was.

Because of this, he was able to escape Bai Qi's previous purge and survive safely.

But now it seems that this guy is really still angry with Bai Qi, or Bai Qi's new policy, otherwise he wouldn't have jumped out to cut off his beard when Bai Qi wanted to talk to Ping Na.

"Gui'an, Count Litman."

Pinna nodded flatly, her pretty face without any flattery or contempt, perfect in terms of etiquette.

"Ahh I'll be sure to bring out the best wine to entertain you! ”

Litman said with a smile, no one could see through the emotions in his small eyes, but his deliberate action of blocking Bai Qi in front of him had already shown how incompatible he was with the lord of this principality.

'Are nobles and lords at odds?' Seeing that this earl is so fearless, it seems that the power of the lord's side is really declining, and it will be difficult for the Jade Principality to regain its strength! Pinna sighed.

At this time, Bai Qi put a hand on Littleman's shoulder.

"Count Litman, let me go, you're in the way."

Bai Qi said bluntly, and the surrounding nobles did not show a surprised expression, the contradiction between the two big Buddhas was clear to all the nobles in the Emerald City.

"Oh, who am I? Since the lord has an order, then he will retire in the next, but before he retires, Princess Pinna doesn't know if you can appreciate your face and agree to the bold invitation in the next place? ”

Pinna shook the wine in her hand and said in a cold tone:

"Count Litman's kindness was appreciated, and if Pinna had come in her personal capacity, she would have been honored to accept the invitation.

It's just that Pinna came on behalf of the kingdom to learn more about the principality and promote friendship between the two countries. ”

Littleman touched his head and nodded nonchalantly:

"Princess Pinna really has a clear distinction between public and private, I admire it in the next, then I will go first, I wish you a pleasant evening, hahaha!"

Litman originally came to disgust Bai Qi, and he didn't care if Pinna accepted the invitation or not, so he turned around and left directly after getting the reply, after all, Bai Qi was still the lord of the principality, and he couldn't be too presumptuous, but... Before leaving, he deliberately rubbed Bai Qi's shoulder to show his unfriendliness.

Watching Litman walk into the aristocratic circle, Pinna looked at the expressionless Bai Qi, hesitated for a moment and asked softly:

"Earl Litman... And His Excellency Bai Qi...? ”

Bai Qi sighed: "Originally, I suddenly ascended to the throne, although these big nobles recognized my rule in the face of my father, but they were probably unconvinced, and in addition, there were some policies before that harmed the interests of some nobles, so they ......"

Bai Qi paused at this time, and the unfinished meaning in her words was clear in her mind, after all, she was also a person who grew up in the center of power.

"Your Excellency Bai Qi doesn't need to worry, after all, you are the lord, and everything will be fine."

Pinna was so comforted, thinking of what she had seen and heard before, she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for this young lord with a 'weak' appearance.

The national strength was greatly damaged, and the domestic nobles were still working against themselves, and finally they were forced to rely on false disguises to maintain the honor of the Winifred family, how difficult it should be!

Bai Qi smiled when he heard this, although the 'gloomy color' between his eyebrows was still obvious, he still beat his spirit and said:

"Cheng Princess Highness auspicious words, I will definitely work hard."

After communicating with Pina for a long time, Bai Qi tried to reveal some 'principality crisis' 'inadvertently', but quickly diverted the topic 'bluntly', as if trying to prevent Pinna from discovering the 'decline' of the principality......

After the moon passed in the middle of the sky, the banquet came to an end, and Bai Qi had to rest.

Lying down on the lord's bed, which he was already familiar with, enjoying Cecilia's top-notch massage service, Bai Qi suddenly frowned and looked at the corner of the room.

"Eurica, where have you been?"

Eurika, the assassination master of Lv3, is proficient in a series of assassination techniques such as lurking, poison, traps, etc., and after investigation along the way, her loyalty and heart are also passable, so Bai Qi transferred her to her side to facilitate training (adjustment) and cultivation (teaching).

Eurica's figure emerged from the darkness, still covered with a black cloth, but her eyes showed a bit of hesitation and uneasiness after doing something wrong.

From her expression, Bai Qi probably guessed a few points.

"You... It can't be trouble with Littleman, right? ”

Eureka bowed her head in shame and didn't deny it.

"Didn't kill him, did you?"

Bai Qi then asked, he didn't mean to blame this girl's loyal protector, after all, he had just arrived at his side, and it was normal to be a little immature.

"Nope."

Eureka shook her head: "Eureka just made him fall on his heels... Nothing more. ”

"Just a heel?"

"And... Let him fall to the threshold..."

"And then?"

"Then, a few teeth flew off..."

"Is it over?"

“... Eureka also smashed a brick in his face... Without. ”
