Qianhu Fort, in the tallest tower, Qiao Xuan, who was wearing an ink dragon robe, held a fine porcelain tea cup, quietly looking at the ruins of Qianhu Castle on the top of the hill behind the castle.

The ruins of the wall are clearly visible, and you can even see a large bird standing on top of the broken pillar to brush its feathers.

The tea in the tea cup is not the Jiangnan green tea popular in Liangxu, but the favorite of the nobles of the Metland continent, the kind of sweet and greasy fermented black tea with milk and sugar.

Many years ago, Qiao Xuan fled to Medland with his confidants and courtiers and the treasury wealth of Liangxu, and finally escaped into the Principality of Thousand Lakes and met the Grand Duke of Thousand Lakes at that time...... That gentle, tranquil, beautiful and lovely woman likes to pour him black tea one by one every day.

Milk, sugar, honey, juice, and even cinnamon and other spices......

For Qiao Xuan, who is accustomed to the elegant and timeless taste of green tea, the first days were simply worse than death...... But then he got used to the taste.

Later, Qiao Xuan exhausted the assets of the treasury, and even used most of the wealth in the secret treasury of the Principality of Thousand Lakes, gathered a large mercenary army, built a huge fleet, and returned to the Eastern Continent to restore the country.

Nearly 20 years apart.

Return to the Duchy of a Thousand Lakes.

Things are people, in his heart, his lover, who should have lived well, has died early because of his love.

He and her daughter were besieged by a group of greedy clansmen and fell.

Even he and her daughter, the child she left behind, disappeared in the turmoil of that night......

"Stupid woman, wouldn't it be better if you waited a few more years?" Qiao Xuan muttered, "At least, with you, you don't need Lingxi to deal with those idiots...... I told you that you must do it early and clean up all your bastard relatives, why didn't you listen? ”

Drinking black tea with a lot of milk and sugar, but still feeling tasteless, Qiao Xuan roared in annoyance, a black flame erupted from his palm, and the tea cup and tea all came to naught.

In the past twenty years, countless killings, countless conspiracies and tricks, the iron heart that has become cold and ruthless has softened slightly.

Qiao Xuan remembered the woman...... I thought of the daughter I held in my arms, the fragrant and soft, and spoke loudly.

He suddenly understood something - no wonder over the years, he has also accepted a lot of concubines in Liangxu, but those concubines, for him, are just a tool for inheritance.

And none of his current princes and princesses are pleasing to the eye.

Some naughty princes and princesses were even broken by him with big sticks. After praising him to his face that 'my emperor enforces the law selflessly, just and sagely', some courtiers said that he was a 'tyrant who lacks the affection of his children'!

Lack of affection from children?

Perhaps.

But Qiao Xuan roughly thought that he had figured out the reason for this.

The few remaining children and daughters of his family have been lost to Qiao Lingxi, and the princes and princesses after him, he really doesn't have any extra family affection to reward them.

"Heh, heh, heh, the Principality of Qianhu the size of a sesame grain, it is really a temple demon with a big wind, and there are many kings in the shallow pool."

Qiao Xuan turned around and looked at Dozel, the current Grand Duke of Thousand Lakes, who was kneeling on the ground, naked and covered in bruises.

Dozel is like a famous dish of the 'squirrel fish', the flesh on his body has been cut through thousands of thin, neat wounds, and the flesh and blood are very evenly draped on his body, and his tragic condition is indescribable.

It's just that Liangxu, as the most powerful unified dynasty of the three continents in the Eastern Continent, has a history of inheritance that stretches for tens of thousands of years, with endless heritage and endless secret techniques.

Therefore, although he was unable to move due to the damage to his muscles, Dozel's breath of life was actually not much weaker than in normal times.

He knelt there tremblingly, looking at Qiao Xuan like a ghost, his whole spirit was on the verge of collapse, but because of the secret techniques performed by several great wizards of the Liangxu Palace, his mental state was constantly maintained on the verge of collapse, but he couldn't collapse.

At this moment, in this situation, Dozel actually hopes that he will completely become a madman.

In this way, he will not face such a terrible avenger!

Killing a thousand knives - the down-and-out prince who fled from the Eastern Continent to the Principality of Thousand Lakes in embarrassment, who would have thought that he could really turn over from a dead fish and really become the master of the most powerful dragon land in the Eastern Continent?

Heaven, the huge, mysterious, and powerful Eastern Land, the Land of Dragons, is an area equivalent to several Delun Empires.

The national strength of the Liangxu Dynasty is even greater than that of the ten Delun Empires!

Qiao Xuan appeared abruptly with countless henchmen, and then hit the door with a fierce momentum - Dozel was so frightened that he only regretted why he didn't solve himself in the first place.

He wants to die now...... It's not an exaggeration at all, he wants to die now!

Dozel...... We, too, old acquaintances. Qiao Xuan put his hands behind his back, and the sun shone in from behind him, and a huge shadow shrouded Dozel's body.

"When I fell in love with Reel, you fanned the wind and lit the ghost fire in the back, causing me a lot of trouble. If it weren't for the proper maintenance of a group of loyal servants in the Lan camp, I would have almost been cheated by you several times. ”

Qiao Xuan sat on a gilded chair beside him.

He crossed Erlang's legs and took the new teacup handed by an old eunuch with a pale face and red lips beside him.

This time, the tea in the tea cup is the Liangxu Jiangnan-Gong-tea.

Taking a sip of the fragrant tea, Qiao Xuan said quietly: "Especially, that time, you made up false news, saying that that Reyelle, that stupid girl, broke into the dragon's lair in the deepest part of the magic gold mine. ”

"How stupid was I then...... I was stupid and rushed into the dragon's lair. ”

"Tsk, there's a sleeping metal dragon in there. That claw almost didn't cut me into three pieces. ”

"If it weren't for the fact that Reliel spent a lot of money to get a resurrection potion from those gods...... That time, I was literally dead. ”

"That was the time, when I saw Reyelle, who was running back and forth and getting back the resurrection potion, and she was so tired that she almost didn't die, I thought...... I can choose a beauty...... I can...... It's okay to stay in this Thousand Lakes Principality, which is the size of a sesame seed, and just like this for the rest of your life. ”

"But you don't...... Your cynicism made me ambitious again at that time. ”

"The eldest husband is alive, he has something to do and something he doesn't do...... So, I ran out of money, and I went away with the army. ”

"I'm leaving...... You didn't expect that I would be able to come back, right? ”

"Moreover, I am coming back as the Emperor of Liangxu!"

In the air, the goblin airship was falling, and then, very quickly, it landed on the grass.
