In December of the 567th year of the Altino calendar, Reinses took the royal capital

"What's going on in the institute? Are those guys panicking? If they're not panicking, there's something wrong with the plan. ”

"Everyone was frightened, although they didn't say it explicitly, but they could still see that they were all worried that after a month, the institute didn't know what would happen?"

Satisfied with Eling's account, Lancelot nodded, "That's the best." Those guys have always been above the top, and it's time to teach them a lesson. Don't let them suffer a little, they will always be self-righteous and don't take others seriously. ”

In order to celebrate the success of the plan, the two met for dinner in the middle of the night. Since the last time they looted a vote from Bai Dezhao's mansion, the financial situation of the two has improved greatly, and they should be able to eat some expensive food, but after discussion, they still decided to go to the small noodle stall at the entrance of the alley, squat on the side of the street, and eat hot noodles.

"However, Mr. Da Lang is even smarter than I thought! The success of the project is all due to you. Ailing frowned and said, "But, that pseudo-king...... On Prince Lancelot's side, isn't Mr. Da Lang his bodyguard, and wouldn't it be bad if he was injured because of this?"

Two days ago, Lancelot was really annoyed by the hard light cannon, and his arm was numb, but he naturally couldn't say it at this time, so he only said vaguely: "Don't worry about this! That person is so arrogant and arrogant that even I, who is a guard, can't look at it, it's a rare opportunity to let him be taught a lesson, don't you hate him? Now it's just right to make you angry!"

Listening to this explanation, Ailing nodded and took a sip of the hot soup from the large bowl. Her way of eating is not particularly subtle, but compared to the rude efficiency of Lancelot's big mouths and fast hands around her, she always feels that she eats so slowly.

According to the plan, the Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute was forced by the pressure of both sides, and must find the traitor as soon as possible, or design a weapon that is enough to resist as soon as possible. Ailing has never had a chance to perform in the research institute, and no one knows her talent and strength at all, and the research institute's investigation has never thought of this aspect, in other words, it should be impossible to find the mole.

When the situation is at a stalemate, as long as she finds an opportunity to make Ailing stand out and solve this problem with her strength, she can establish her performance and image in the research institute, and become a leader, so that the plan will be completed.

The plan itself is still perfect, but there are still some problems with the detailed implementation, because Lancelot and Ailing are not the kind of careful people who are good at planning and planning, in fact, just to get to the present, Lancelot already feels that God blesses.

If you consult with your wife and rely on her wisdom, you should be safer. But somehow, Lancelot had the urge to try everything on his own this time......

"Mr. Dalang. ”

"Huh?"

"Why do you have to be like this?" Looking down at the noodle bowl, Ailing said: "I just want to do research in the research institute, I don't want to be the head, and I don't want to be above anyone, why do I have to be like this?"

Lancelot was speechless for a simple but difficult question, and thought about it for a long time before he slowly replied.

"That's a hard question to answer, girl, because that's how troublesome it is to be a human being. It's like everyone wants peace, but in the end, peace is not something that the weak can have. Lancelot said: "When you are in an environment that doesn't give you fairness in the first place, no matter how much kindness and patience you try, people will only laugh at you." Unless you can show your strength and make them shocked and admire, that's when respect will come to each other. ”

"But it's so tiring like this! Why can't you get along with the kind ones? Isn't that more comfortable?"

"Because of life itself, we don't have too many choices from the beginning, like your background and my personality, we can only go on according to the law of the jungle. ”

Patting Ailing on the shoulder, Lancelot smiled, "But at the very least, we still have a chance to choose one or the other." Since others don't accept our peaceful coexistence, then let's dominate the world and fuck ride on top of these guys!"

Infected by this arrogance and domineering, Ailing nodded dumbly, however, Lancelot, who had endured her trusting gaze, was still confused in his heart......

The two men who had made the plan were talking in secret, but at the same time, another secret conversation was taking place in Jixia City. Since the strongman with the power of the heavenly position announced that he would bathe the research institute in blood, how could the senior management of the research institute not prepare and let this madman act arbitrarily?

In addition to having all kinds of weapons, they also need more direct force. Although the researchers have practiced the Bai family's divine skills, most of them have no combat experience, although their cultivation is not weak, they may not be able to come in handy in the fight.

Facing Bai Wuji, who was naked and upper-body, lying on a leather chair, and beside him was a servant girl pouring wine and waiting, several elders reported on the current preparations and countermeasures of the research institute. Headed by Bai Junze, the cousin of the head of the family, the three people at the table are all elders of the generation of the head of the family, knowing the true strength of the Bai family on Xixi Kejia Island, and hoping that the head of the family can express his position and protect the interests of the Bai family.

"We've been holding back before, but this Lancelot has gone too far this time, and he has bullied us directly. If it weren't for the forbearance of our Bai family, would he have been so arrogant in Reyns? If we don't teach him some lessons at this time and let him understand who Reynes is the real master, I'm afraid he will be lawless in the future and never take our Bai family in his eyes again!"

"Yes, master, this farce has been going on long enough. This commotion of the Skywalker Kid should end here. Now that the third young lady has passed away, Reins no longer needs the queen, so it is better for you to officially come forward and officially place Reins under the rule of my Bai family, ending the family's three hundred years of waiting!"

As soon as you said and I spoke, everyone put forward their own opinions, hoping that the head of the house would make up his mind. During the whole process, Bai Wuji let these elders speak, flirting with the beautiful maid next to him, and ignored those reports.

Obviously disrespected, everyone naturally felt deeply humiliated and angry, but they did not show it outside, and still expressed their opinions with a respectful attitude.

They are all too aware of the fact that no matter how ridiculous the personality or (lack) is, there has never been a mediocre person in the position of the head of the Bai family, and if anyone doubts this fact, and disdains the head of the house who looks like a waste, his life is as dangerous as a candle in the wind.

It was precisely because they understood this matter that they were able to live a long life to this day and become one of the few remaining elders of the previous generation of the Bai family

After talking for a long time, and when he finally heard enough of the advice, Bai Wuji made a move. He sat up from the recliner and put a hot towel on his face, after which he applauded enthusiastically.

"Huh...... What a good idea! My sister is dead, so why let that cheap brother-in-law take advantage? Kill him now, and then unleash all the strength of the Bai family, sweep Reins, and finally inherit the legacy of the ancestors of Venus, and let the Bai family dominate the world in one fell swoop, so that I will be the most amazing head of the Bai family in history!"

While speaking, Bai Wuji laughed loudly, his voice seemed to be extremely cheerful, and infected by this joyful atmosphere, the three Bai family elders also laughed, but the more they laughed, the more they felt empty, because the wild laughter that almost brought tears out of tears like this was completely inconsistent with Bai Wuji's usual image.

"To celebrate this great idea, let's have a toast!"

In the midst of laughter, Bai Wuji picked up the wine bottle on the table, turned it upside down, and unceremoniously poured the cold wine on the heads of the three elders.

Although the taste of the wine is fragrant and rich, in this case, I believe that no one can taste it properly. The cold wine and the boiling anger in their hearts became an extreme contrast, if it weren't for the fact that there was still a trace of reason and tried to restrain it, they all had the urge to make a move, and to bombard this unknown junior with Yuan Gong.

It was only at this moment that a voice colder than wine froze their anger again.

"It's really a bunch of old and useless ugly things, they talk upside down, and they do things in a mess, maybe I shouldn't have persuaded my eldest brother to keep you alive back then, when did the Bai family dare to question the decision of the head of the family?"

Bai Wuji sat down in front of the three of them, and the expression on his face was not so much frost as nothing. Rao is like this, the oppressive momentum he exudes at this moment is a hundred times stronger than every moment before. The long-term feeling of fear reminded them of the absolute majesty of the previous master of the Bai family, and the three of them were silent, further overwhelmed psychologically.

"Keep saying that you are for the Bai family, but what have you done for the Bai family? In the past hundred years, the research institute has neither made any major technological breakthroughs, nor has it cultivated a master craftsman-level figure. Is my hard-earned money just to raise a bunch of trash who look at people with their noses up and are out of touch with reality?"

"That's—that's because ......"

The three of them all wanted to justify that compared to the headquarters set up on the island of Xixikoga, the resources and technology mastered by the Jixia branch were insufficient, and it was natural that it would fall behind, and it should not be their fault!

"Hey, do you want to use the headquarters of Alcatraz Island as an excuse? But if you really have the ability, why can't you reverse it and let the achievements of the branch surpass the headquarters? You seem to have forgotten that the Bai family hates incompetent comrades more than powerful enemies!"

The depth of Bai Wuji's martial arts has always been unknown to everyone, but no one has ever seen him show or practice martial arts, so it shouldn't be too high. In terms of strength, the three of you joined forces, and it shouldn't be difficult to kill him, but in this series of words, a cold sense of oppression slowly overwhelmed them, and they couldn't even say a word.

"Since you know that my cheap brother-in-law can run rampant in Reyns because of my connivance, then why do you want to ask more? He wants to wash the research institute in blood, and I have no objection, because you things that have almost turned into blood stasis should be cleansed. If you want to survive, you can defeat the enemy in a month!"

Bai Wuji said coldly: "As for one thing, I'm curious. When you encounter such a thing, you don't try to deal with my cheap brother-in-law first, but you come to me to cry, should you ...... You don't think I'm as scary as him, do you?"

A powerful sentence, the crowd could not answer at all. Compared to the arrogance when they came, they almost staggered away, and Bai Wuji, who showed his attitude, looked at the backs of the three elders and muttered to himself.

"Except for the ninth uncle who still knows how to advance and retreat, there are really no elders left in the Bai family who are worth looking forward to. Big brother, maybe you're right, it's always a hassle to let the damn stay!"

At the same time, it was rejected by the two camps of Bai Xing and Lancelot, and the head of the family put on such a cold posture, and the Taigu Demon Dao Research Institute could be said to be completely abandoned by those in power.

All along, no matter what happened in the outside world, the institute has always maintained a detached attitude and does not interfere in mundane affairs, perhaps because of this, the researchers have developed a superior mentality, but now, a strong storm has finally blown into the institute, and the madness has swept everything.

After the three elders informed all the senior staff of the head of the house's answer, the last hole card that could be relied on was lost, and it felt like being sentenced to death. Although the middle- and lower-class researchers did not know these inside stories, they suddenly became more pessimistic about the future when they saw the elders who were full of confidence and looked like they had been shocked.

The development of various weapons has been stepped up in the hope that it will come in handy. There are three goals to work towards: to find the mole, to create a weapon that can destroy the orbital light cannon, and...... A weapon capable of killing Prince Lancelot.

No progress has been made on any of the three goals. The researchers are not detectives in the first place, and the scope of the investigation is limited to the researchers. If it's just the outflow of equipment, that's fine, but since the day line can master the technology that is better than the research institute, who would have thought that the culprit is just a garbage girl who works in the research institute?

In particular, when the continuous investigation did not yield results, the elders had already pointed the suspect's origin to Alcatraz headquarters, so they gave up the continuous investigation.

In terms of the progress of the production of the destroyed daytime weapon, everyone knows that the orbital light cannon is now located in an ethereal altitude that is difficult for the naked eye to see and difficult for humans to reach. Even if you use the most powerful Chaos Fire Crossbow, to destroy it, you need to have the technology to send the Chaos Fire Crossbow there, however......

"How can it be said that there is? That's a long-range ballistic technology! If you can do this kind of thing, you can directly attack the White Deer Cave or the Great Snow Mountain with the Chaos Fire Crossbow!"

Every researcher knows the difficulty of this matter, and the more they examine it, the more they are amazed by the superb technology of the wise man behind Bai Xing!

There is no need for a huge building dozens of feet high, nor does it need a thruster that has fallen off in sections, just a simple launch pad to accurately deliver an orbital light cannon to the target place.

It is also a chaotic fire crossbow, but the other party has mastered the technology of automatically cleaning up radioactive energy with microorganisms, which is not only the design and assembly of utensils, but also the wide range of layers involved, which is simply appalling.

If the other party is an organization or group, there is a great possibility that the other party will far surpass the Bai family in the achievements of excavating the ancient ruins, so it can have this all-round transcendence, if the other party is only one person, it is not so much a genius, it is undoubtedly more like an all-powerful god.

Now, the common question in the minds of researchers is: How many centuries is the other party's technology ahead of the research institute?

Anxious and dazed, which directly led to an error in judgment, he had always believed that he was standing at the top of the primeval demon path, and he was the best human being, this elite self-confidence was suddenly shattered, and it was not so easy to calm down, and the researchers were now like walking into a bottomless labyrinth, unable to find a way out.

Thankfully, since that day's siege, although the daytime line has continued to attack, at least there has been no more heavenly warfare. On the other hand, due to the indiscriminate shooting of the raillight cannon, which affected Hante, he used the excuse of recuperating from his injuries to ask for a sum of medical expenses, and even took the opportunity to increase the price of each sortie.

Without the cooperation of the heavenly masters, Bai Xing could only attack with the large army and the orbital light cannon. However, every quarter of an hour of use, the rail-light cannon fires out of control, draining the energy stored for a full day. While it was out of control, the defenders of Jixia, who were protected by a strong barrier and had adequate defenses, were able to minimize the damage, but the daytime side of the entire army exposed to the light cannon attack was overwhelmed.

In the end, in order to avoid distrusting the soldiers of the commander, the only way to do this was to suspend the attack.

There is no doubt that he has a powerful weapon and a heavenly master, but how to use these two things together to maximize the effect on the battlefield is a full test of his generals.

In Jixia City, the residents laugh at themselves all day long, they have lived in Jixia City for so many years, and they have seen a lot of ups and downs, but they have never been as wonderful as this month, and they are struck by lightning every day.

If it weren't for the proper publicity of the Jixia School Palace, letting the people know that this was the weapon used during the day, some people would really mistakenly think that it was a heavenly punishment from the gods, causing unnecessary panic.

The battle situation continues to stalemate, Lancelot also took the opportunity to put pressure on the research institute, the atmosphere on both sides is tense, as the January period is getting closer and closer, Lancelot seems extremely hot, although more than ninety percent of this anger is acting, but the destructive power that is shown outside is really extraordinary, others can't guess his inner thoughts, naturally he is deeply shocked.

"You don't think I'm joking for a month, and if you can't give me an answer, I'm going to fucking raze your shitty research institute to the ground!"

With these words, Lancelot cut the gate of the institute into two sections. This move almost completely broke the relationship between Lancelot and the researchers, but no one dared to doubt his determination to take bloody revenge on the Institute.

It was in this atmosphere that Lancelot welcomed his first New Year after arriving in Reyns in the city of Jishita.

The atmosphere was not bad, and despite the unstable external situation, the common people were able to have a relatively safe and happy New Year, which was due to the abundance of supplies in the city and the fact that Xiaocao did everything possible not to let the people feel the effects of the war.

However, due to the chaotic political situation in Reyns, the Ivory White Tower was not able to host many of the rituals as in previous years, and many of this year's New Year events were inevitably canceled, and the Ivory White Tower was even more deserted than ever.

"New Year's New Year, New Weather, It's worth a toast!"

Lancelot sat on the steps of the ivory white tower gate, watching the crowds of people coming and going, the lights lit by the houses, smiling and holding up a pot to drink.

In the current situation of the Ivory White Tower, which is now short of funds and manpower, of course, it is impossible to hold any grand celebration, and Youxue once proposed that he should find some jugglers to hold a small celebration banquet? This proposal was rejected by Lancelot. Because there is obviously no money, it is not used for this kind of superfluous expenses, and if you want to hold a lavish banquet, you will have an opportunity after mastering the power of Reins. Xiaocao understood her husband's intentions, so she was as good as a stream, and let all the servants and guards go home on vacation on Chinese New Year's Eve, and as a result, the ivory white tower became a cold and empty palace.

"Hmm...... It feels weird, like it's back to when I first came to Reyns......"

Carrying the flask, Lancelot said slowly. I still remember when I first entered Jixia City, due to my bad image, all the servants in the ivory white tower dispersed in a hurry, Rao has the title of prince, but he doesn't even have half a waiter, which can be called the biggest joke of careerists.

The feeling is similar now, however, at that time, Nier and Gengoro were still by their side, and in comparison, they felt much more lonely at the moment.

During the Spring Festival, he will sit alone on the steps of the palace gate and drink, watching passers-by come and go, he must be the first person in the history of King Reins, that feeling is not lonely, and there is a strong sense of despair.

This feeling...... It's cold.

But this cooling is not a bad thing, because it allows you to take a break from the busy and dizzy daily things and clear your head. Think about what kind of thing you are, think about what you've been doing these days, and what should you do?

Senior brother Wang Wu likes to float high in the air in the middle of the night, sleeping with the sea of clouds and the moonlight, I don't know if it is to feel this coldness?

Thinking of these thoughts, Lancelot smiled and took another sip from his throat. At this time, the person who should have appeared has also appeared. With a completely silent step, Xiaocao suddenly appeared, carrying a bamboo basket containing food, and sat beside her husband.

"Youxue ran out to drink after taking the money, and now there are only two of us left in the ivory white tower!" "Still dressed in her usual suit, Xiaocao came here to celebrate the New Year with her husband after finishing the work at hand.

Although he was not officially king, it was certainly unprecedented for a king like Lancelot to sit at the palace gate and drink wine on the night of the new Chinese New Year's Eve, but two couples who should wear the crown of supremacy as king and former queen respectively would sit together on the steps like begging, which is not only unimaginable if recorded in the annals of history, but simply ...... Shame on Reyns!

In fact, because the two of them squatted on the steps were so shabby, some passers-by really didn't understand the situation and inadvertently threw a copper coin or two as they passed by.

However, the couple did not feel embarrassed by their situation, but rather happily picnic on the side of the street.

"Is this pot of plum wine missing? This is a treasure in the underground sake cellar!"

"Ah...... Then please pour me a glass! Actually, don't be so troublesome, my tongue is not so sensitive, I can't tell the fine from the bad!"

The weather was extremely cold, there were snowflakes falling in the air, there was no luck to resist, white snow flakes slowly covered the two of them, Lancelot and his wife laughed, poured plum wine into the glass, and the two of them divided half of it.

"The cup is for you, I can drink it like this......"

Holding her husband's thick palm, dipping her index finger in plum wine, Xiaocao sipping Lancelot's fingertips, licking off the wine on her head, and her intimate movements, in each other's eyes, were all a burst of warmth that made her heart feel comfortable.

"Hey, do ghosts get drunk too?"

"Hmm...... I can ...... as long as I want to get drunk."

In a rather clever reply, Xiaocao shifted her gaze, and Lancelot followed her gaze and glanced at the corner of the street. It was a small stall selling pastries, and the honest-looking shopkeeper was putting freshly made dim sum into a steamer, and the kind-looking proprietress was busy wrapping hot pastries in oiled paper and handing them to the customers.

Both are already quite old. The gray hair and eyebrows, which were now plated with another layer of snow white because of flour, were not easy work, and there were beads of sweat on their foreheads due to fatigue and the heat of the steamer, but they had always had smiling faces, which showed their joy at the moment, and although they were busy with their work, they occasionally looked at each other in their free time, and always showed a warm smile.

Staring at the old man and the old woman, Xiaocao smiled slightly, it was a very happy smile, in Lancelot's eyes, he could understand what his wife was thinking, and then reached over and held his wife's hand.

"Hey, don't be too envious of others! We can do the same one day!"

Leaning on her husband's arms, Xiaocao smiled: "I, I'm already very satisfied to be with my husband like this, doing these messy stupid things!"

When he said "messy stupid things", Xiaocao's tone was different, and Lancelot's heart moved, and he looked at his wife, and when he came into contact with the hidden smile, he knew that his wife had already known that he had planned something recently.

"Why are you smiling like that? What do you know?"

"I'm not sure what you're trying to do now, husband, but I can tell you that you're working on some of your own plans. Xiaocao said: "You are really not interesting, we are two husbands and wives, if you don't tell me any plans, I will be very worried...... Hmm, could it be that you really hide a woman outside and want to marry someone to be a concubine in the second room?

Lanceloton couldn't answer that. In fact, every time he talks to his wife, he always loses the upper hand, and he doesn't know how to stand firm.

"(Missing), I'm going to ......"

"You don't have to explain it to me, I believe in your choice, and I want to support your decision. Xiaocao smiled: "What's more, we have indeed encountered a bottleneck now, if you have a way to break through it, husband, it will be very good!"

Xiaocao is telling the truth. Since the outbreak of the Reins Civil War, Lancelot and Daytime have been at a stalemate. In terms of strength, both sides have an overwhelming trump card, Bai Xing has an army of 500,000, and Lancelot relies on the heavenly masters on his side.

Purely from the perspective of the battle situation, the 500,000 army and the group of heavenly masters are quite powerful capital, but when the two factors are isolated and hostile to each other, they lack decisive winning factors.

The day line has always suffered from the lack of heavenly masters to suppress the formation, even if it succeeds in breaking through Jixia, if Lancelot insists on not abdicating, then the victory is not of much significance. To put it to the extreme, if Lancelot is forced to be in a hurry, let him give up his promise to the elders of the palace faction, and use the power of heaven to kill, although he may not be able to single-handedly take on the army of 500,000, but at least it will not be a problem to kill Bai Xing.

Lancelot is limited to the dilemma of having no resources other than the power of the heavenly position. If there is no way to build up his own retainers, even if he kills Bai Xing and drives back the enemy army, he will still be left to sit in an empty ivory white tower, and there will soon be another opposition leader to unite the Reyns rebellion, to no avail.

To break this deadlock, one is to let Bai Xing master more heavenly masters, and after breaking through Jixia, completely overwhelm Lancelot with his strength, and the other is that Lancelot's side can establish its own power and take over his power in an organized manner after defeating Bai Xing.

Xiaocao has some plans for this situation, but it is rare for her husband to have the idea of taking the initiative to do something, but you might as well put off the work at hand and see what amazing plans he has.

"But I'm glad I am, because at least you didn't think about transferring me away......"

The meaning of Xiaocao's finger is naturally Lancelot's deliberate move to transfer Nier away before this battle. If Nier is still here, with two Heavenly Rank masters sitting under Ji, even if Han Te cooperates with the orbital light cannon attack, he will not be able to pose such a big threat; moreover, if Nier does not take away the students and nobles with higher martial arts skills in the Jixia Academy, there may be uncontrollable turmoil now.

In addition to these, Lancelot seems to have some other plans, and Xiaocao plans to wait and see what happens to her husband.

"I let you stay because my wife is responsible for her husband's affairs. Lancelot said, "As for my sister's problem, leave it to other men to worry about!By the way, how long will it be before Niel's team will come into contact with Gorou and them?"

"Hmm...... It's about 10 days away!"

"Hmm...... Is that dead ghost from the research institute asking for money again?"

In order to cope with Lancelot's pressure, the Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute has used a slippery excuse in the past two days: to create a weapon that is comparable to the orbital light cannon, it is not technically a problem, but it requires an extremely large amount of funds, and if Prince Lancelot can pay the promised 60,000 gold coins as soon as possible, I believe that he will be able to produce a counterweapon as scheduled.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is just an excuse to delay, but if Lancelot can't give the money, then the responsibility is only on him.

"yes, how do you want me to answer them this time?"

"Tell them that I will give them the money in eleven days, and don't pay for it then!"

Seeing her husband's confident smile, Xiaocao knew that he must have another amazing move, but in addition to the researchers, did he also include himself?
