Chapter 2 A word of love
In April of the year 568 of the Altino calendar, the White Tower of Ivory in Reins
After Lancelot made his words clear, both sides fell silent. Lancelot was waiting for the other party's answer, but he also understood that it was not such an easy question for Feng'er. In fact, it was clear from her confused expression that she was simply dumbfounded by the question.
If he still maintains his previous mood, Lancelot may snicker in his heart, because it is not easy to make this iceberg beauty stunned, and it is a proud achievement that he can succeed again and again. It's just that, after a few days, he can't bear it anymore, continue to play this game that he doesn't know what to say, and when he cares about the other party seriously, he doesn't want to keep looking at this beautiful woman who makes his heart show a sad face.
It is estimated that it is too early to ask this question, and asking it at this time will only make the road ahead more difficult, which is not the best policy, however, there are too many things in the world that cannot be measured by the so-called truth.
And now, the question has been raised, it's up to the other party to respond. But the reason in my brain can be calculated, this stubborn and stubborn woman will not give herself any ideal response.
"I ......" was like a mosquito chirping, and the originally chaotic eyes quickly calmed down, and a shallow smile resurfaced on Feng'er's face, making Lancelot's heart sink straight down.
"So that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier? Let me bear the heart for a long time in vain, it's really funny, this is what I promised you before, and it is also my duty as a young lady's maidservant, what is there to say?"
Feng'er smiled tiredly, reached behind her head and relaxed her short hair, which was not long, and her charming demeanor was completely different from the usual coldness. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would have been hard to believe that she would have such a charming side.
"Lord Lancelot is also a man after all, if you need someone to sleep, you can just say it, whether you want to hug me or whatever, I will do it, you ......"
While speaking, Feng'er also adjusted her sitting posture, supporting the mattress with both hands, lying on her side on the bed obliquely, the concave and convex carcass curve, undulating and shaking with the vibration of the mattress, in Lancelot's eyes, the effect was really amazing.
However, the burning sensation of dry mouth only lasted for a short time, and when his own will quickly restrained his physical reaction, Lancelot turned his head and laughed uncontrollably.
"Haha~~Hahahaha~~"
As if he had seen something very funny, Lancelot's laughter resounded throughout the room, but in this burst of laughter, people did not feel the slightest smell of joy, and even made Feng'er uneasy.
"Mistress Lancelot, you...... What's the matter?"
"No, I don't think I'm fine. Shaking his hand and stopping his laughter, Lancelot turned back and said lamentingly, "It's so strange." Being able to let Miss Leng Mengxue, the most popular in the Qinglou Alliance, sleep in person, and show her most beautiful side so hard, this is probably the lifelong dream of ninety percent of men in the Wind Continent. Even the leaders of Altino and Wu Lian don't have this blessing, let alone me, the new monarch of a third-rate country. Logically, I should be overjoyed, but why...... I'm going to be so uncomfortable at the moment, like my own sister just a wild man. Feng'er, do you have any way to answer me?"
I can't answer. Just like Feng'er asked Xiaocao a few days ago, she also had the same feeling at this time, she really didn't know how to answer this question? There are many questions, which are clearly known to the answer, but still can't be spoken......
Lancelot smiled and said softly, "Perhaps, all men are cheap bones, and after getting one thing, they can't be satisfied, they will only want more." Obviously, conquering the flesh is very enjoyable, why do you have to pay attention to something that has no intention or not?Feng'er, is this what you expect from me?"
Sitting dumbfounded, Feng'er realized that she had just made the wrong move. When she finally calmed down and faced this uneasy man with an armed posture, the other party suddenly changed her attitude, as if she had changed back to the sincere Lancelot before, making herself look like a brainless fool.
It shouldn't be like this. Whether it is the Great Snow Mountain or the Qinglou Alliance, the first priority of the camouflage secret taught is to make the heart like an ice mirror, calmly reflect the things around you and do nothing, so that you can do everything, but for him, she was at a loss from the beginning, flustered, and all the camouflage skills were thrown out of the clouds, and the voice sounded very unnatural, and the appearance she posed was not as attractive as it should be, if the lady in the magic house saw her appearance, she would definitely laugh to death.
But...... The troublesome situation in front of you is not something that can be avoided with a smile!
"You learned that from the Qinglou Alliance just now, right? It's so beautiful, it almost dumbfounded, if possible, I hope to see you talk to me like this often in the future, but not now, not when you use this posture as a psychological mask. ā
As he spoke, Lancelot approached, sat side by side with Feng'er on the bed, and said lightly: "I don't like to force the people I care about to do what they don't want to do, though...... Maybe one day, even by coercion, I will get what I want, but until that day, I still want you to be happy. ā
"We didn't feel anything wrong, didn't I completely obey your orders to me? It's the one who gave the order to go back on his word!" At this moment, Feng'er really wished that she was as cold as Senior Sister Hua, so as to hide the tremor in her voice, "Master Lancelot once said that no one can really understand other people, and in the same way, how do you know what kind of person I am? Everything I promised was of my own free will, and there was no reason to be blamed by you at all. ā
Attacking the other's shield with the other's spear should have been an extremely sharp question that could force the other party to not speak, but Lancelot answered without thinking.
"Yes, I'm no doubt saying that, but...... Feng'er, even though there is no one in the world who can really understand other people, but I know you 100%, so that should be enough. ā
Unexpectedly, the other party could solve her own problem so straightforwardly, Feng'er couldn't help but be stunned, and when Lancelot's kiss accompanied this sentence and gently fell on her Xue Nen's shoulder, a thought flashed through her mind in the midst of the violent tremors all over her body.
No one can really understand the other people, which should be an embarrassing question to face, but why was he able to give an answer so quickly?
That day, when Lord Lancelot asked the Shetter like this, there was a strange chill that made everyone present unable to answer. However, in his heart, is there also a trace of expectation, hoping that someone will answer him like this?
After changing his style, his relatives and friends began to be estranged from him because of scruples, which must have been very sad for him, right? Why didn't anyone notice this?
Half because of concern, half because of natural feminine gentleness, when she thought of this, Feng'er's heart softened, and she no longer resisted the arms that came from behind.
(But...... What the hell does he want me to do?)
This question came to mind, and Lancelot behind him had already opened his mouth to ask.
"You may have been tempted to ask me what I think of you in my heart, but before you do that, there's a question you have to ask yourself. In your mind, how do you position me and Xiaocao? Is it just a master-slave relationship just like you want me to believe?"
ā......ā
"Feng'er, do you trust me, do you think I'm someone you can rely on?"
"Yes, yes, you are the husband of the young lady, of course I ...... you"
"If that's the case, then why do you always want to run away from me? What do you want to run away from? Is it in your heart, I'm the same as all men? Just a who gives you pain and shame like your father?"
When this sentence came into my ears, the waves of the heart lake set off were extraordinary, even relatives like Lancelot and Xiaocao, it was definitely a taboo to mention the past. Lancelot immediately felt that the soft body in his arms suddenly froze, his skin was cold, and then a powerful shock force hit his arm directly, and she was stimulated, like an angry bobcat, struggling fiercely, the temperature on her body rose even more straight, and the blazing fire was faintly formed, trying to break free from this embrace that no longer made her feel safe.
"Don't move! Feng'er, I won't let go, if you want me to let go, just calm down and listen to my words. ā
Hugging tightly, Lancelot suddenly felt a lot of pain. Not from the flesh, but from a memory in Siam City from years ago. At that time, she also hugged the wisp of her soul that she almost promised to marry, but despite this, she still disappeared in the end, is this because of the unilateral tight embrace, which does not constitute a guarantee of happiness? Or is she simply a waste who is not able to give happiness to the woman?
No matter what the answer is, now I can only obey the direct reaction in my heart, no matter what, I will not let go of my hand, and I will bear the heat wave and strong impact like a furnace in my arms.
"Listen to me, I'm different from them! different!
As if he had lost his mind, although the six yang fire that erupted was suppressed by Lancelot, the high temperature and heat wave that spread around him instantly burned the bed under him to ashes, and it couldn't stop spreading to the side, shrouding the entire ward in a hazy red mist, and flames appeared from every corner.
(Oops, it's much stronger than estimated, if you're not serious, the whole ivory tower might be burning!)
He was reluctant to do so, but if he had to settle the matter without alarming the others, Lancelot could no longer hold back. If you use strong force to forcibly suppress Feng'er's protective flame and recover it, this can be done, but in this way, Feng'er, who is going backwards with true qi, will be injured a lot, so she has to try to find something else.
(Heavenly Consciousness, move me!)
Operate the heart of heaven and connect with the protective barrier of the entire Ivory White Tower to activate its function. There was no actual spell casting, and the protective power of the activated enchantment was only thirty percent, but it was enough, and the combination of the two energies surrounded the entire ward, and all the flames that were about to rush out were forced back, and it was difficult to break through.
After confirming that it would not affect the outside, Lancelot used the Heavenly Heart again, not to urge the resistance, but to use the erosion strength of the Heavenly Demon Skill, and absorb all the inflammatory energy emitted by Feng'er's body into the body, and it would not disperse to the side.
(Hmm...... ļ¼
The voice of pain did not shout out, but Lancelot was really upset, the blazing fire energy was like substance, like high-temperature magma injected into his own blood, in order to unload his strength as soon as possible, he reduced his protective strength, and only used the power of the etheric immortal body to heal himself, turning the flame into wisps of light smoke and dissipating from behind him, but in this way, the pain of the hot blood burning the organs in his body almost made him even cry out.
Unwise behavior requires absolute strength as a backing, and if there is no heavenly power beyond the small heavenly position, Lancelot's current approach is equivalent to suicide.
After a stalemate for about half an hour, Feng'er, who had lost her mind under the rush of various negative emotions, slowly calmed down. Lancelot couldn't stop muttering "different", which did have a lot of stabilizing effect, and moreover, at close range, she could sense the pain endured by the man behind her, and she was shocked, and she had already woken up, and immediately collected the fire of the body.
A moment later, the hot flames that raged in the room had disappeared, and as far as the eye could see, there was a black ink color in all directions, and small ash and embers could not help but drift down, and the original luxurious and beautiful special ward was now completely destroyed.
Of course, Lancelot didn't take these questions to heart. He was just worried about the situation of the jade person in his arms, and the words that he blurted out were not intentional, but for her, they must have caused harm.
The silence lasted for a while, Lancelot did not let go of his hand, in the boredom of his thoughts, he looked up at the window, and saw the dawn sky that had turned a light blue, and at this time, a small sound came into his ears, at first, he could hardly believe his ears, because such a sobbing sound should not have appeared at this time, and he even always believed that crying was insulated from the woman in his arms for the rest of his life.
The hand rested lightly on her shoulder, and before she could say anything, she whispered a choked sentence intermittently.
ā...... You...... What the hell do you want me to do...... IāI don't know what I'm going to do anymore...
...ā
The bitterness that had been accumulated in his chest finally collapsed, and the moist feeling in his eyes turned into substance, dripping down his snow-white cheeks, and the tears that he had not had since his sister's death reappeared unexpectedly.
Knowing that this is very weak, but Fang Xin, who has been in chaos, can't take care of anything, and the burden of responsibility that she has insisted on for a long time finally makes her shoulders unbearable, and at this moment when her heart is collapsing, she just shrugged her shoulders, covered her face with her palms, and wept helplessly like a child.
"I'm sorry, Feng'er, I'd love to see you show your emotions like this, but it's really heartbreaking to see you like this. What I want you to understand is that I don't want to tell you what you're going to do, it's up to you to judge how you want to choose your future. ā
"Whether it's Cangyue Feng or Dongfang Hong, I really love the woman I am holding. I love it to the point where I can't suppress it with my reason, and if I don't have her, I'll ruin everything around me out of control to vent. Because of this, I had to put it into action. ā
Noticing the trembling of the jade man in his arms after hearing this, Lancelot said softly, "As long as I give the order, you will immediately fulfill all my requests, right?" but I hate it, because it will make me feel like I have insulted you......"
ā...... As long as it is ordered by you or the young lady, I will gladly do it, and it is not an insult to me......"
"Isn't it?Feng'er, you really know how to give, but loving someone is not just about giving.
Why do you have to rely on Xiaocao to live in your life? Xiaocao or me, we don't have the power to dominate your life, nor do we have the obligation entrusted by you! Everyone is an independent individual, and there is no need to obey anyone else, so why can't you not accept orders? Xiaocao and I are very sad to give you orders constantly!"
Listening to these words, Feng'er felt more frightened than shocked. can't express it in words, as if the meaning of the existence of the whole life has been erased by someone, and her existence is no longer needed in the world, and a bottomless abyss seems to have cracked under her feet, making her fall straight down, if it weren't for the warmth in her chest behind her, she really would have to mistakenly think that her body and mind would be swallowed up by this endless abyss.
The tremor in his bosom intensified, almost trembling with fear, which Lancelot noticed. Feng'er's heart disease is heavier than her own pre-occupation, although Xiaocao has been trying to find a way to give this righteous sister as much affection and warmth as possible in the past, but there is always a place in her heart, which is the extremely cold ice and snow that is difficult to melt, this is the common worry of Xiaocao and herself, and now, it is time for her to work hard.
"Building a wall of the heart, resisting everything in the outside world, not being hurt by the outside, and only sticking to the small happiness in the heart, this practice is not bad, and I often want to do it. But, Feng'er, how about you believe me again? Try to come out a little bit, I can give you greater happiness than now, it will make you smile from ear to ear every day, and you will always feel so happy and happy. ā
"If you feel annoying, you can throw me off with contempt, and I will respect your decision, but it does not mean that I will give up. If you wish, I hope to marry you as a concubine before all the people, which is my respect and duty to you. However, these decisions must be made by you. It's not about obeying orders, and no one will give you orders anymore, it's a decision that is entirely your own volition. ā
As far as he could say, he had said almost enough, and when he noticed that Feng'er's body was slowly softening from stiffness, Lancelot knew that it was time to give each other time to calm down. Letting go of his hand, he was about to leave, but the sound behind him made him stop.
ā...... Have you ever thought about how she will be hurt, Miss?"
The voice was low, as if he had returned to a calm mood, but he could feel that this was the most unpleasant thing for Feng'er. In particular, she just couldn't figure it out, even if what Lancelot said was all sincere, he couldn't have imagined how to explain to Xiaocao in this way?
"I used to hesitate...... As much as I can, I want everyone around me to be happy and not hurt in any way. I've been working hard for that......"
Lancelot said lightly: "But this effort is useless. On the dry ear mountain, all the brothers I valued were dead, and I had nothing to do for them. After coming to Reins, the situation was not much better, I tried to change, to try all the efforts I could, hoping not to make my wife sad and humiliated, and to make my relatives proud, I tried all these efforts, but unfortunately, in the end it was still meaningless. No matter how much I value them, no matter how much I don't want them to be hurt, the hurt still happens, and it makes me feel disappointed in myself again and again. ā
ā......ā
"If no matter what I do, harm is bound to happen, then what's the point of making trade-offs? No matter what you do or how you choose, there will be people who will be hurt, and if you want to make everyone satisfied, this kind of thing is simply not possible, so ...... I feel tired. ā
Lancelot said: "Now I don't plan to think too much, just do what I want, as for whether the result will hurt anyone, let's wait for things to happen......"
There were not many words, but I could feel that there was a deep exhaustion in the tone. Looking at his back as he gradually faded away, Feng'er suddenly felt that this man's current mood was not as high-spirited as he showed at the enthronement ceremony.
Lancelot was really tired from the journey from Kuer'er Mountain, and the physical fatigue accumulated from constant fighting was one, and the psychological pressure of confusion, confusion, sadness, and self-blame was the source of his unbearable, because he didn't want to let these pressures continue to pile up, he needed to change.
It's just that the person concerned has made such a choice, how should the people around him deal with themselves?
Coming out of Feng'er's bedroom, Lancelot was not in a good mood.
In the innate vitality death fight with Bai Qi, he became the winner. After blasting him to the rout, because of the influence of the Heavenly Demon Reincarnation, he absorbed more than half of the opponent's innate vitality. And with this vigorous vitality surging into the human body, there is also Bai Qi's martial arts experience and wisdom in handling things.
Too much information, once poured into the brain, the chaos caused by it, almost split his personality.
After that, it took a lot of time to slowly digest the information in my mind, and from there, I saw the memories of Bai Qi's life, understood what he wanted to tell himself, felt his helplessness, his strength, all the fierceness, desire, love, hate, and pain, one by one in the ups and downs of his thoughts, when he calmed down these emotions boiling in his chest, opened his eyes, and found himself floating in the air, with the clouds.
At that moment, he clearly knew in his heart that he had broken through the small heaven position and reached the strong heaven position of the level of the three great divine swords.
At a young age, only in his twenties, he already possessed such power, an achievement that even the three sages could not match, and Lancelot felt extremely proud. But this pride did not last long, because the reason why he was able to make a breakthrough so quickly was mainly based on the sacrifice of others, and such progress was not a glorious thing.
But he had no choice, and he couldn't escape. Just like facing his adoptive father Huang Taiji, who has cultivated him for more than ten years, this kindness has not been returned, only through continuous achievements, glory and pride, as a tribute to the memory of the deceased.
Adoptive father Huang Taiji, senior brother Wang Wu, and brother-in-law Bai Qi, these three people are all people who have great kindness to themselves, but they never need to do anything for them, and the only hope for them is not bound by them and freely go out of their own way. In that case, what reason do you have to escape?
The wisdom gained from Bai Qi's side allows him to know how to deal with Reyns's political affairs, regardless of good or evil, as long as he can make Reines rich and happy, this kind of practice is worth using. The poet is the same in his dealings, no matter what the means are, he really hopes not to hurt the relatives around him.
That's how Gengoro was treated. If the original situation continues to evolve, the path he will take in the future will inevitably have a major conflict with the ideals of this righteous brother, so will he have to fight to the death with him at that time?
Although it can now be seen that Gengoro has calculated himself several times in the past, has incomprehensible intentions for himself, and has even ignored the two important battles of Kuershan and Kigru, but no matter what, he is his brother after all, and he has paid the morality he should have done. For this reason alone, I don't want to have a life-and-death battle with him.
"I'd rather be broken than broken", I don't like this way of thinking, and seriously speaking, I'd rather let this friendship have a dislike, but also avoid a day when the final break will occur. Therefore, considering Gengoro's sanity and the range of tolerance that he can tolerate, he will spread out with him and make it clear, although he will definitely be greatly displeased, but in this way, the lines of the two sides will not be too far apart, and the situation he is worried about will not appear.
It's the same with Feng'er. Maybe she is very satisfied with such a lifestyle, but in her own opinion, she still has a heart disease in her heart, but with her own strong personality, she just has to live hard, and she will never be truly happy.
Xiaocao, himself and Feng'er, what is the relationship between the three of them, this has given me a big headache.
Originally, in the concept of obscurity, Feng'er was like a relative without blood, and it was hard to imagine what would happen to herself and Xiaocao without her?
However, is this development right? If this continues, what will become of it in the future? Feng'er, who is in love with Xiaocao and considers herself a servant, is like a servant like an old mother, serving the young master and the young grandmother wholeheartedly? Just thinking of this scene, I feel unbearable.
With Feng'er's conditions, it is simply humiliating to be reduced to that, especially when she can still enjoy it, in her own eyes, she can't accept anything. When a kind of anger and injustice beyond reason rushed violently in his chest, Lancelot was stunned to discover his own mind.
I want Feng'er to be happy......
I want Feng'er to get the treatment she deserves......
I want Feng'er to have the same reputation as Xiaocao......
Summing up these thoughts, what I got was the fact that I was also in love with Feng'er. When he realized this, Lancelot felt ashamed and bitter.
Whether it is love or responsibility, what he owes his wife is a heavy debt that cannot be paid off in a lifetime. Since you are married, you should also strictly abide by the duties of a husband and be loyal to your wife, isn't this the meaning of the marriage contract?
If this is the case, how can he have delusional thoughts about women other than his wife? Feng'er is his wife's sister, if he thinks of her indiscriminately, wouldn't he be as shameless as a beast?
The intense psychological struggle caused great pressure, especially in the days when he realized that he was so despicable, and the major mental blow made Lancelot, who was hiding near the Tianguan of the North Gate, squat almost all day long, wanting to bury his head in the mud and mountains.
The chaotic thoughts finally slowly cleared up. What untied Lancelot's troubled heart was an indelible white shadow in his mind, which he once thought he had forgotten, but in the end, her smile was still deeply imprinted in his heart, and it never diminished in the slightest.
In Siam City, when I promised to leave with her, the sincerity of my heart to walk through this life with her is 100% true, and when I stare at the words left on the wall, knowing that there will be no time from now on, that kind of shocking and heartbreaking feeling will not be forgotten in my life.
Fenghua, for herself, is a woman who is no less important than her wife. Perhaps it should be said that it is a kind of luck, because of her disappearance, she was able to face Xiaocao, if not, she would not know how to deal with the relationship between these two women and herself.
Even though the glory has passed, and his marriage to Xiaocao is very happy now, but ask yourself, in this life, it is impossible for me to forget her, and all the memories in Siam City will remain in my heart forever. In this case, how can I say that I have fulfilled the responsibilities of a husband?
Even if he breaks through the small heaven and has the strongest strength among the current young people? Feelings are such a thing as a lock in the heart that no master can easily clarify, although Bai Ji has been trying hard to think with reason and norms, but in the end what he gets is only a mess.
Since reason can no longer help anything, then leave it to your own emotions to judge, this is the way you choose to face it in the end.
I hope that this will make everyone happy, although this is mostly just wishful thinking......
With a long sigh, Lancelot had already left the Ivory White Tower and walked down the street, planning to go to Hotel Street to have a few drinks and chat with Youxue, but after thinking about it, this guy is now the Prime Minister of Zuo, and he may have held a banquet in his Prime Minister's Mansion and carnivaled all night, and there may not be anyone to be found in Hotel Street.
It's funny to think about, when you are wondering, the people around you are also changing little by little, whether you want to or not, this is something you can't stop. Just as he was thinking about where to go, the conversation of the pedestrians next to him attracted his attention, and in their conversation, a word suddenly appeared that made him extremely frightened.
ā...... You know? So, the goddess doctor's medical skills are really ...... God. My uncle had just returned from Altino, and he had seen it with his own eyes, and she handled so many injuries with ease, and she was able to stabilize them in a few strokes. ā
"It's really remarkable, if it weren't for this goddess doctor, the loss in the Hua family's territory would definitely not be like this. ā
"Yes, it's like our former Majesty the Queen, who was a great healer like a goddess. ā
"By the way, the goddess doctor's name is ......"
"What's the wind...... Charm...... Snow...... Well, not a gale...... Ah, I remember, it's Fenghua!
Just two words, listening to Lancelot's ears, but as if a thunderbolt sounded in mid-air, he was stunned for a long time, and when he woke up, he found a group of people gathered around, looking at him curiously.
A king who is stunned on the street will surely become a big joke when it is broadcast by the media, but Lancelot has no time to care about it, and when he comes to his senses, he immediately yells.
"Stand up ahead!"
The thunderous shouts made everyone's ears ring, and His Majesty jumped up, stopped a few pedestrians in the street, anxiously grabbed them by the collar, and asked them sharply. And when they calmed down, Lancelot had already asked about the whole thing, and he didn't stop at the moment, a little under his feet, and carried the power of the heavens, and the whole person took off into the air, and flew straight to the west.
A few days after the enthronement ceremony, the king, as the king of a country, abandoned the country, which made Reyns's decision-makers look at each other and don't know what to do.
"It's too unusual, he's the king, the king!
It was Ni'er who made this complaint, and she was supposed to rush back to the North Gate Tianguan, and she was angry at her brother's willfulness. Because of her brother's sudden departure, she was forced to stay in Jixia without official permission, unable to rush back to command the army.
No one dared to tell her why Lancelot left, and Nier, who was confused, could only sulk and go to the gymnasium of the Jixia Academy Palace to practice sticking skills, venting her excess physical strength, and re-educating those challengers who didn't know whether to live or die.
"What's the solution? Everyone has something they want to do. ā
Sending out such irresponsible feelings, Gengoro stayed in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion and toasted with Youxue, because there was an obvious gap between each other's identities and salaries, so Gengoro insisted that all expenses should be treated by this righteous brother.
Although the parties are not quite able to adapt to their own promotion, in order to celebrate, a large number of old friends from the hotel street still poured into the Prime Minister's Mansion and held a grand banquet.
"Let's drink happily, if anyone leaves without getting drunk, it will not give us face as Prime Minister and will be sentenced to three years in prison!"
Gengoro raised his arms and shouted, and the bottom responded violently, everyone raised the altar and drank bitterly, the aroma of wine overflowed, and the crazy and noisy atmosphere brought the banquet carnival to a climax.
It's just that when he thinks of his situation, Yuxue can't laugh heartily, and Gengoro's prodigal appearance makes him feel a little abnormal.
"The third child, if you're in a bad mood, you don't have to drink like this, right?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I'm not in a bad mood, it's just ...... I'm really craving to get drunk today. ā
"Nonsense, if you're in a good mood, why would you want to get drunk?"
"I'm also very helpless, as long as I open my eyes and see this person in front of me, I can actually become the prime minister of Reins, if I don't get drunk, I don't know how to face my own reason. ā
Coincidentally, the decadent banquet held in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the left was also held in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the right, Bai Wuji and his friend Dongfang Xuanlong were also holding a celebration banquet, with a full number of guests, and the difference on the other side was that among the more than 100 people who participated in the banquet, only two of the parties were men, and the rest were all beautiful women dressed in sexy clothes and plump and hot, performing for the two VIPs.
If it is said that the left Prime Minister's Mansion is a gathering of all the drinkers in the hotel street, the right Prime Minister's Mansion is a collection of all the red cards in the Flower Street, watching the warbler Yanyan perform a glamorous dance, mellow wine and beauty, it is very happy.
As far as the image of the entire imperial court is concerned, this is really not a good thing, the two prime ministers did not show the honest image of diligent government and love for the people, on the contrary, they opened this kind of decadent banquet that made people frown, and in the eyes of the whole people, that feeling was really weird.
Of course, not everyone is like this, in the Ivory White Tower, Xiaocao continued to carry all the work, and after announcing to the outside world that His Majesty the King had retreated for a month in order to study a higher realm of martial arts, and did not show up to the public for the time being, she took on all the big and small tasks and continued to live a life of fighting with the pile of documents.
After all, there is a cabinet system set up by Bai Dezhao, the ninth uncle, who can share a lot of troubles, such as the details of the military system and land reform, which can be drawn up by them, and some of the recovery work of post-war reconstruction does not have to be completely done by themselves. Brother Bai Wuji is not a talentless person, and after he carnivals, he officially starts working, and I believe that the current busy situation will be even better.
It's the other people who are really worried. The idea of the Cangyue Knights is very good, but it is not so simple to master the heavenly master, and he is still thinking about what kind of bait he should throw in order to catch a big fish like Hua Bian Que.
Sister Feng'er's situation is also very troublesome, although she doesn't know what happened between her and her husband that night, but seeing her the next morning is really not good.
Without the usual ability and high vigilance, the Feng'er in front of her eyes was blank, disheveled, and looked extremely embarrassed by overwork, she was brushing her teeth, making movements in her hands, seeing herself, her eyes swept horizontally, turning a blind eye, until she greeted her in front of her, she didn't answer weakly.
ā...... Miss...... You...... Good morning......"
"Morning, sister, did you sleep well? ā
"I didn't ...... No energy...... Yes...... Okay......"
In just two sentences, it was incoherent to say it in a frustrated manner, which almost made Xiaocao stunned. It is the nature of a girl to love beauty, although Feng'er has always dressed up simply in order to be able to go out on missions at any time and fight with enemies, but she will also keep herself clean and never have an untidy appearance.
Because of this, seeing the hair in front of him messed up like a chicken nest, Xiaocao was so surprised that her jaw was about to fall off. I want to laugh a little, but I can't, maybe this is not the time to laugh, but if I can laugh, I will feel better......
The only thing that is fortunate is that Lancelot's sudden departure has given everyone time to calm their minds, otherwise meeting each other now would have made the situation even more tricky.
Sister Feng'er can't stay under the grass all the time, Shangri-La's message urging people to go back is coming in a hurry, if you don't let people go, I'm afraid it will hurt the relationship with Shangri-La, that ...... It's not just a joke!
The territory of the Hua family is far away from the king of Jixia, even if it is a direct flight over, it will take a few days, at the beginning, only the eldest brother of Bai Qi, with the unparalleled sense of heaven to forcibly increase the speed, this can arrive overnight, and now the husband wants to rush to the territory of the Hua family, and he can't come back without more than ten days of effort.
However, although he left, his will was secretly transmitted to the dean's office and then to the Ivory White Tower on the third day after his departure.
"All affairs are cut by the wife of the kissing grass, and Feng'er, Fifty-six, and Gengoro, the three of them are grounded and are not allowed to leave Jixia. ā
This will is really incredible, and it is understandable that Feng'er will stay under the pretense of being a public servant, but leaving Gengoro and Nier together makes Xiaocao unable to think through it, because no matter how you look at it, sending these two people back to the front line is a more suitable approach for the current needs.
Perhaps, in the husband's mind, there are some vicious ideas that will make people stunned......
It's just that, despite Xiaocao's efforts to control the situation, there are still circumstances that are beyond her calculations, and it happens unintentionally.
It was the sixth day after Lancelot's accession to the throne, and after the envoys of all the powerful countries had returned home one by one, an ambassador from another country visited the Ivory White Tower, hoping to meet His Majesty King Reyns.
According to Lancelot's plan, it was possible that everyone was about to prepare for the use of troops against Japan, and before they could make any moves, the envoys of the other side had already come to the door, and everyone had a feeling of consternation that the surprise attack had been successful.
The only request of the envoy is to meet His Majesty the King, but this is the case with partial birth, which is beyond the reach of others.
Using the official reason that His Majesty the Emperor was in retreat for the purpose of practicing martial arts, he politely refused the envoy's interview, but in order to have the opportunity to observe the enemy's situation, the current decision-making class of Reines was all gathered to receive the envoy from the eastern island country.
Hurriedly ended the absurd banquet and hurried, and Youxue and Bai Wuji appeared together for the first time in the palace to perform official duties. Elder Bai Dezhao, who was also the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, also arrived, and of course, Gengoro also received special permission to attend.
"Third child, do you want to call Miss Nill over?"
"No, it's not like you're going to declare war on the Japanese right away, there's no need to come to her!"
Lacking trust in Nier's fiery temper, the crowd excludes her without any consideration, lest the meeting turn into a break before it even begins.
Before this, everyone had already read the information provided by Xiaocao. In order to know themselves and their opponents, the Shiroji family set up a spy network in Japan many years ago and set up an underground organization to collect all kinds of information about it.
According to the information handed back by the Bai family, the government that ruled Japan was called the "shogunate", and the shogun of the shogunate held all the power, and the current shogun, named Toyotomi Hideyoshi, was a very talented person, but for some reason, the health of the shogun did not seem to be very good, and he had been bedridden for several years, and the domestic situation was a little chaotic because of this.
"The struggle for power will happen everywhere, because of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's illness, there are not many careerists in Japan who want to replace him, and it stands to reason that the scene should be more chaotic than it is now, but for several reasons, the Toyotomi regime is still stable. ā
Bai Wuji said: "First of all, the army, Toyotomi Hideyoshi knows people well, is loyal to most of the princes, and is stronger than other careerists in terms of military strength, and secondly, behind Toyotomi Hideyoshi, there is the support of Amakusa Shiro. As long as this shogunate master is still around, no one in Japan will dare to openly raise the flag of rebellion. ā
Ranked as one of the three great swords in the world, Amakusa Shiro's status in Japan is by no means inferior to the influence of the sword saint Lu You in the mainland. The Japanese worship him as a god, regard this powerful celestial master, as the incomparable glory of Japan, and respect whoever is in power, on the other hand, if this spiritual leader is displeased, the centrifugation of the people alone is enough to cause the collapse of a regime.
Naturally, if Shiro Amakusa had the urge to draw his sword and unsheath it, looking at the whole of Japan, no one person or force would be able to deal a blow to him.
"However, there is one thing that is strange, according to what I heard, the reason why Toyotomi Hideyoshi was able to get Amakusa's support seems to be because Amakusa Shiro accepted his son as an apprentice. Bai Wuji said: "There are also many rumors about his son, because after Amakusa Shiro returned to Japan, he has never passed on anyone's martial arts for more than a thousand years. ā
This caused everyone to wonder for a while, especially Gengoro, who had fought with Amakusa Shiro and knew a little about his temper, and he still couldn't figure out why Amakusa Shiro, with his dislike of restraint, would make an exception to accept an apprentice? Could it be that this young man also touched the heartstrings of Amakusa Shiro in a certain part like Hana Tianxi?
Bai Wuji smiled bitterly: "Because of these reasons, our underground work in Japan has not been going well, and it is very nerve-wracking......"
With the vigorous ambition of the Bai family, Japan, which is extremely close to its main trade route and poses a threat, is no longer only an eyesore, but can even be said to be like a thorn in the back, unpleasant. The reason for the establishment of an underground organization there was, of course, not only to collect information, but also to "overthrow the shogunate regime one day and rule Japan by the Hakuya."
In fact, although they controlled the islands around the island of Xixikoga, the Shiraka family was impatient with the limitations of its sphere of influence. The demand for various resources in the headquarters of the Taiyan Academy is expanding day by day, and the biological materials for the study of the ancient demon path and the experimental subjects for the masters of the family to practice are ...... This really made the Bai family's leadership very troubled.
The huge demand is not a long-term solution if it is necessary to buy and sell people from the mainland. At that time, the technology of the Taiyan Institute's artificial lifeforms was not yet mature, and they reluctantly used embryos to create some experimental subjects, and repeatedly hit nails in the research and use of the ancient magic path, and insisted on using living people as fist targets to test the actual lethality of the five-color flag masters, and also protested that these biochemical people produced had no spirituality, and the actual lethality of martial arts could not be measured after bombardment. As a result, there was a proposal to conquer Japan in the east, move the headquarters of the Tai Research Institute, and use all the aborigines as experimental materials.
A terrifying and crazy plan, but it is very much in line with the consistent direction of the Shiraji family, and if it weren't for the scruples of Amakusa Shiro, this plan might really be implemented. However, when the previous head of the family, Emperor Bai Jun, ascended the throne, he was unimpressed by such a situation and made a bold statement.
"Fearful, what are you talking about? Who said that you must use humans as targets for your practice? If you want to find creatures, aren't there so many people on Alcatraz Island? Those who are brave enough are just like me, and use demons as the object of practice! Because after I conquer the world, my next target is the Demon Realm!"
Because of this Dao master's order, since then, the five-color banner has not only increased the number of battles with the demons, but also retained a large number of prisoners of war as a trial recruitment. The Taiyan Institute has also solved this problem because of the technological achievements of artificial lifeforms. The proposal to attack Japan was therefore shelved, and until now, due to a conflict of interest, Bai Wuji once again moved the idea of taking Japan and securing the rear.
After listening to the explanation, in a short time, everyone was ready, and then they met with the envoy. In the entire decision-making class, it is naturally Xiaocao who makes up her mind, but in terms of form, she is not qualified to participate in state affairs, and on occasions such as meeting foreign envoys, she does not even have a foothold, and although she attends, she cannot speak, and hands over the presiding work to others.
The king of a country is not there, and the highest status is the prime minister of the left, but seeing that Youxue is at a loss, no one will count on him, and the task falls on the head of the right prime minister.
With Bai Dezhao as the auxiliary, Bai Wuji received the Japanese envoys. The other party came to meet the new king of Reins, strengthen the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and promote the relationship between the two sides.
Saying that His Majesty the King is now in retreat and practicing martial arts, and does not see anyone, Bai Wuji regretfully invited the Japanese envoys to stay here for a few days to wait for His Majesty's reception. After that, he chatted with the messenger in a friendly manner, using a high degree of conversation skill, and casually inquired for the information he needed.
This envoy is not a fool, there are many flickering words in his words, and the spies lurking in Japan have already transmitted the information back to almost the same, Bai Wuji's questioning has no real results. It wasn't until later that Bai Wuji saw that the envoy's expression was wrong, and only after direct questioning did he know his exact intention.
"Your Majesty is in retreat, and if there is anything, we can still adjudicate on our behalf, and if the envoy is not willing to wait for a long time, it is okay to directly bring up what he wants to say now. ā
Without the authorization of the person concerned, he acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, which Bai Wuji did quite blindly, but he didn't care what Lancelot would think when he came back.
And what came out of the mouth of the messenger made everyone dare not believe their ears for a while.
"In order for the two countries to remain brothers forever, we hope to have the privilege of marrying His Majesty Lancelot. ā
The messenger said: "Princess Xiangji of our country, is the general's favorite daughter, fifteen years old, born with the beauty of the country, graceful and lovely, is the first beauty of our country. His Majesty Lancelot is now unseated in the back seat, and as a princess of our country, I believe that she is qualified to run the harem for His Majesty Lancelot. ā
Next, what came out of the mouth of the messenger was a boastful self-recommendation that lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour, and used extremely gorgeous adjectives to tell the beauty of Princess Xianghime as rare in the sky and difficult to find underground, at this time Gengoro was really glad that he did not let Niel come to this meeting, otherwise he would have to spend a lot of effort to stop Nier's barbaric act of smashing the Japanese thieves with big stones.
Japan wants to marry Reynes, this is not too surprising, in terms of geographical relations, it is closest to Reins, and in terms of national strength, no matter how strong Japan is, it is not comparable to Reines as a whole, therefore, how to deal with the relationship between the two countries is an important factor in its survival, in all kinds of diplomatic means, marriage is the best policy. However, in the past, Reyns was ruled by the Queen, and it was impossible for a foreigner in Japan to marry Queen Reins.
But now the situation is different, each queen can only have one husband, but after the change to a man to rule, each king, but can have countless concubines, although this makes people feel a little funny, but for Japan, it is a great opportunity, their princess is more likely to marry, and at the moment of Lancelot's new widowhood, the Japanese princess is likely to ascend to the throne in one fell swoop, which is greatly beneficial to Japan.
Most of the people present could understand this thought, and the envoy said it wildly, and they didn't pay much attention to it, but when the envoy presented the portrait of Princess Xiangji, everyone who saw it was taken aback, and Xiaocao, who was a woman, couldn't help but snort.
is worthy of being the first beauty in Japan, and it is indeed a beautiful woman who can only be described by the national color and fragrance.
In the painting, she sits quietly in front of the dresser, wearing a white Japanese kimono, compared with the wide robe, her body looks very slender, and her long black hair flows behind her head, which is very elegant and elegant of a famous daughter.
Because it is the back, it should not be able to see the face, but the mirror on the dresser reflects the beauty just right. Fifteen-year-old Fang Ling, cardamom is just ripe, Princess Xiangji is already amazingly beautiful, in the mirror, she seems to be a little shy and lowers her head slightly, but the quiet feeling makes people feel that she is a very well-educated good woman, and I want to be close to her.
Extremely tempted, Bai Wuji, who was holding the picture scroll, even blew his mouth and gnawed, and his extremely undignified behavior once again became the object of everyone's attention.
"It's a pity, if it's a marriage with me, I'll agree immediately. Bai Wuji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But since it is a matter that only Your Majesty can agree to, then wait for Your Majesty to come out." ā
"The marriage of the princess of our country can only be cut by His Majesty Lancelot, but there is one thing, maybe you don't have to wait for Lancelot to come out. The messenger said, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our kingdom also hopes to marry Princess Reyns and marry Princess Reyns. ā
When this sentence heard in the ears of everyone, the major shock caused was extraordinary. Regardless of whether you want it or not, there should be only one person who can be called Her Royal Highness the princess at present, and that is Princess Niel, who is sulking in the city.
Maybe it should be fate, because the name "Yamamoto Fifty-six" is originally a Japanese name, and if Nier marries, at least there is no need to change a new name that conforms to the local culture. However, just thinking about this, Gengoro, who was still worried that Nile would hit people with a big rock, almost immediately had the urge to use the Xiaotianxing Sword to kill the Japanese envoy.
The situation was awkward for a while, and in the end, it was Xiaocao and Bai Wuji who discovered the clues. If you want to marry Nier, this is not in the interests of Reinz at present, and Reins can't afford to lose a heavenly master, and besides, such a major matter must be ruled by Lancelot himself, but the messenger said that he doesn't have to wait for Lancelot to come out?
There is only one explanation left. In terms of diplomatic etiquette, many times the woman who marries a country is only a beautiful woman who has been given the title of princess by the country, and does not really have royal blood, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that each of the princesses who married is born so captivating the country?
Japan should know its own position, so the marriage proposed is only to ask for a woman with the title of Princess Reins. And as the crown prince of Japan, making this request is so low, it is simply unreasonable.
"Does Hideyoshi have many princes?" asked the thoughtful Gengoro.
"No, only one. His Royal Highness Sojiro is the pride of our country, not only the heir of the great shogun, but also accepted as a disciple of His Royal Highness Fan Amakusa, the master of the shogunate. ā
The envoy tried his best to praise the strengths of the prince of Ziguo, and Xiaocao and Bai Wuji looked at each other, already seeing the same idea in the eyes of the other party.
Japan's low posture is so unusual that people feel that there is fraud in it. But no matter what, if you seize this opportunity, it will be an opportunity to spy on Japan's core secrets and send a powerful spy in.
It's just that this candidate is not simple, not only must he have the ability to take charge of himself, but his martial arts and mind must not be too weak, because there are still capable people in Japan, so this task is quite dangerous, looking at the current female special staff of the Bai family, it seems that no one is suitable.
Just as he was hesitating, a clear voice came to everyone's ears.
"I think this is a good proposal, and if the Prime Minister agrees, I am willing to take up this sacred mission and preserve the brotherhood between Japan and Japan forever. ā
Looking at the figure that appeared at the door, everyone was surprised, and Xiaocao unconsciously let the notepad in his hand fall to the ground.
The meeting on this day quickly reached an agreement, and when a few days later, Lancelot went straight from the Hua family's territory to the palace, and among the many relatives and friends, there was one less ...... A beautiful woman as beautiful as a maple red.
