Chapter 255: Dialogue in the Imperial Book Hall
The capital of the Duchy of Zhulu, the city of Dogon, inside the Agate Palace.
An anxious figure walked back and forth in the Imperial Library, a burly man with a majestic face, who sometimes muttered a few words in an angry tone, and sometimes stopped in front of the door and looked out, and his brow furrowed a little with each repetition of this action.
Finally, a middle-aged man with willow eyebrows and an old man with gray hair appeared side by side on the path outside the Imperial Library, and the two lowered their heads and slowly walked towards the Imperial Library.
After discovering the figures of the two, the man in the Imperial Book Hall couldn't hold back the impatience in his heart, and shouted loudly: "Go faster!" I've been waiting for you for a long time! β
When the two on the trail heard the man's angry voice, they quickened their pace together, but their bodies were still orderly and did not lose their pace.
Soon the two came to the front of the Imperial Book Hall, knelt down in unison, kowtowed to the men in the hall, and then said loudly: "Minister, left/right Yuanmou, knock to see my king!" β
"Alright, come in!" King Zuoqiu gave up impatiently.
The middle-aged man and the old man got up slowly, stepped through the door and entered the room, and then stood in front of the hall with their bodies bowed. The king of Zuoqiu turned around and sat down behind the desk.
"Do you know why I came to you? Well? King Zuoqiu said in an unhappy tone.
The middle-aged man bowed his head and said softly: "The envoy of the Luoda Empire, is he urging the king again?" β
King Zuoqiu snorted, slapped the table and scolded: "Those little deflated threes, they don't take this king seriously!" Today, the head of their mission hinted to the king that if they could not find the brave again, they would have to go to the city themselves to find someone! Fuck, when we chase the duchy is his Loda's backyard! A few messengers dare to speak to me in that tone! β
"The king is angry," the old man said in a hoarse voice, "Now that the brave man is in the world, and the holy war is imminent, it is not appropriate to deal with those villains in the Luoda Empire." β
"This king knows, otherwise this king would have cut them down a long time ago!" King Zuoqiu sighed heavily as he spoke, "The problem now is, I don't know where that damn brave man went, I've been looking for it for almost two weeks, and I don't know if it's in our country, alas! "Eight One Chinese Net
"Perhaps......" The middle-aged man paused and asked cautiously, "Has the king asked someone to find a correctional center?" β
"I looked for it, but I didn't find a match in the characteristics." King Zuoqiu sighed again, "It's annoying enough for this king to mention this, this brave man, how can he be a thief, how can a thief be a brave man?" What the hell, if he sees something in us and turns around and says a few bad things about us, things will be even more troublesome! β
"That's true, Your Majesty, the Holy War is imminent, it's very important to return to the Light Alliance right now, this thief brave, let him return to the Loda Empire, no matter how you think about it, it will do us more harm than good. In the opinion of the minister, it is better to order the people below, after finding the brave, give him ...... as soon as possible" The old man put his hand on his neck and made a "wipe" action.
Two hundred years ago, during the Dongyao Holy War, in order to resist the invasion of the Demon Realm, the forces of various countries led by the human race formed a coalition called the "Bright Alliance", and the Principality of Zhulu was also a member of the Bright Alliance. However, after the usurpation of the throne by King Zuoqiu and the coup d'Γ©tat of the Principality of Zhulu, the connection between the Principality of Zhulu and the Bright Alliance was severed.
In other words, the Bright Alliance has yet to recognize the power of the Zuoqiu King's forces, and the Principality of Zhulu is currently in a state of diplomatic isolation. Originally, the Principality of Zhulu didn't mind this very much, and even took the initiative to disable the teleportation matrix between the allies of the Light Alliance, and blocked the country by itself.
But seeing that the holy war is coming, if they can't return to the Bright Alliance before the holy war arrives, then after the war with the Demon Realm, they will inevitably have many fewer opportunities to share the benefits, which is what the Zuoqiu King forces do not want to see, so the Zuoqiu King is eager to use the relationship between the reception of the brave and the envoy to establish a good relationship with the Luoda Empire, which has the most voice in the Bright Alliance.
But the brave man who came to their country was a thief, and the country was enforcing a thief clearance order, which was really a bad thing.
What kind of existence is a brave man? That is the Chosen One, the most existential main force in the Holy War, if this thief brave man goes to the Loda Empire and says a few bad things about his Zuoqiu King at the alliance meeting, then their desire to restore the seat in the Light Alliance will be far away. That's why King Zuoqiu has such a headache at the moment.
But for the old man's suggestion, King Zuoqiu really didn't dare to agree.
"If we are not so light, and we can't hand over people, the mission of the Lorda Empire will inevitably be suspicious of us, and if he sends spies to our city-state to investigate, and then goes back and reports our situation to Ba'angbia, the outcome will be the same, and maybe it will be worse. The best result now is to intercept the thief when he enters the country and lead him directly to the palace, so that he can save his worries. β
"Your Majesty, those messengers said that the brave man set out from Chewa City, the land of fire, a month and a half ago, and that he could reach our border from there for a month at most. Your Majesty, with all due respect, if something hadn't happened to that thief and brave man in the middle of the road, he would have already entered our country. The middle-aged man said.
King Zuoqiu's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said in a deep voice: "I'm just worried about this, that's why I called you two to come, think of a way, the top priority is to turn out this thief and brave man, the longer the night, the more dreams!" β
The old man pondered for a while and said: "It is said that when the brave man arrives in our territory, he should first contact the local officials and ask the officials to take him to the palace, but after so long, there is no official mansion that has received the brave, isn't this brave man avoiding us?" Your Majesty, did the king let them find those eyeliners in our town? β
"It's all ordered, but there is no news so far," King Zuoqiu's eyes looked into the distance, with a bit of resentment in his tone, "It's also to blame the group of deflated three people in the Luoda Empire, who came to us to ask for people, but they couldn't even provide a portrait of Daniel Zhang." Just knowing what is called Xu is a thief, with these two points, how can our people find him? Alas, it turns out that I also said that the brave man came as a godsend, and I didn't expect it to be a false blessing or a real curse. It's so difficult to find him, and after finding him, we have to find a way to get him not to speak ill of us, this trouble is really linked. β
There was silence in the Goshudo for a while.
In the middle of the sound, the middle-aged man with willow eyebrows, who had been silent for a long time, spoke, "Your Majesty, the minister has a bold idea, which may be a bit risky, but if it is done, it can not only make a mission to the mission of the Luoda Empire, but also help us return to the Light Alliance. And even if it fails in the end, it will not be completely impossible to retreat. β
King Zuoqiu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh? It is worthy of the king's left far-sighted scheme, quickly tell me your plan to listen! β
"Yes. That's what the minister thinks......"
"Brother Shen!"
"Hmm!"
Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.
But it doesn't matter who it is.
There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.
on this.
Shen Changqing is used to it.
Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.
Arguably.
In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.
When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.
When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.
The Demon Suppression Division is huge.
The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.
Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.
Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.
Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.
Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.
Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.
Have memories of the predecessor.
He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.
It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.
Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.
At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.
Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.
Access to the attic.
The environment has changed in vain.
A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.
The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
