Chapter 16: The Emperor's Greeting (Second Vote)
The imperial capital of the Golden Leaf Dynasty, the residence of the Nord family.
Ramon. After Nord finished reading the secret report in his hand, his fingertips flashed, and the secret report turned to ashes.
"Lilith, did you see it? Qi Bei, this stinky boy is also out of the picture, who dares to laugh at him in the future, Lao Tzu unscrewed his head. "Raymond. Nord stroked a jasper ring on his finger and whispered, his eyes showing relief and a hint of sadness.
Ramon. Nord is the leader of the Nord family, but when it comes to the next patriarch, it will be him.
As the patriarch of this large family, leadership talent and strength are one part, but heirs are also another.
Ramon. Among Nord's dozen brothers, he has the least heirs, only two sons, and he did not remarry after his wife died in childbirth, and among the two sons, Qi Bei is a character destined to become a rice worm, which is too weak.
Ramon. Nord didn't marginalize Qi Bei because he was a waste, and of the two sons, Huai'an looked like him, while Qi Bei looked very much like his mother. And because Qi Bei couldn't cultivate magic fighting qi, his protection of him was almost doting.
The patriarch had a lot of opinions about this, but he insisted on his opinion, and he couldn't see Qi Bei suffer a little grievance. Instead, it was the genius Huai'an, in order to train him, Raymond. Nord was very him.
But now, Qi Bei is also rising like a celebrity, although he still can't believe it, but what Huai'an said will not be false, just wait for Qi Bei to come back and he will personally test it.
"Hummos, look at how you handled the marriage between Mingyue and Qi Bei this time, haha. "Raymond. Nord couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of this.
Hummos the Great was a majestic emperor, but the contradiction between the imperial power and the family of the gate lord could not be eliminated in any dynasty or generation. It's just that in the Golden Leaf Dynasty, this contradiction was even more acute.
Even if the Nord family says that they want to give up power now, with the appeal and influence of the Nord family, it will be difficult for the Emperor Hummos to sleep unless the Nord family is uprooted.
But tens of thousands of people up and down the Nord family could not be killed, so the contradictions between the two could not be reconciled at all.
The five young wastes of the Nord family have actually returned alive from the Mountains of the Dead!
This news quickly spread throughout the imperial capital, from the officials and nobles to the common people, almost all of them were talking about this matter, if you didn't know, you would definitely be despised.
At this time, it had been nine months since Qi Bei had been abducted by the necromancer to the Undead Mountain Range.
What kind of place is the Mountain Range of the Undead? It's a forbidden area for the living, even if it's a king-level magician or warrior, there are no bones left in it for so long.
And how did Qi Bei, a powerless waste, do it.
Some people say that Qi Bei has been hiding in a cave and living by eating earthworms or something until he was found by his eldest brother, the Nord Tiger.
Some people say that Qi Bei found an elixir left by a god inside, and after eating it, his whole body was invulnerable and invulnerable.
Some people also say that Qi Bei was taken by a female zombie who opened his mind in the Undead Mountain Range, and in order to survive, he had to be xxoo by the female zombie a hundred times a day. If this version is heard by Qi Bei, I don't know how he will feel......
In addition, the most discussed is the marriage between Qi Bei and Princess Mingyue.
At the beginning, Emperor Hummos personally promised that if Qi Bei came out of the Undead Mountain Range alive, he would marry Princess Mingyue to him.
Whether Hummos the Great will repent, or keep his promise, is the focus of the discussion.
There are not so many versions of how Qi Bei came back alive from the Mountains of the Dead on this issue, and the discussants are divided into two distinct factions.
One faction believes that Princess Mingyue is the most favored daughter of Emperor Hummos, a genius who cultivates light magic, and Qi Bei's waste is different from cloud and mud, and Emperor Hummos's original promise was just to appease the Nord family, even if Qi Bei comes back alive, he will regret it, and your Nord family can still bite him.
The other faction believes that as an emperor, Hummos the Great has nothing to say, and the Nord family is not easy to get along with, and he is now difficult to ride a tiger, so he can only suffer this dumb loss.
This imperial capital is full of storms and rains, and there is such a big trouble, if there is no promotion from both sides behind the scenes, it is absolutely impossible.
At this time, Princess Mingyue, who was one of the parties involved, sat on the swing in the back garden with her unicorn in her arms, and her white skirt floated with the swing, like the person in the painting.
"Xiaobai, he actually came back alive from the Mountain Range of the Undead, what do you think I should do?" Princess Mingyue asked softly, but her eyes were as cold as the moon, but there was no trace of confusion, maybe she had already made a bamboo in her chest.
The unicorn in its arms hissed twice, and it could not understand what its master was saying.
"Kill him!" a fluttering voice sounded in Princess Mingyue's ears, and behind her, at some point, there was an additional ghost-like figure.
Princess Mingyue's expression did not change in the slightest, what she asked just now was not asking the unicorn cub, but asking this mysterious person.
"He can't die now, his father's layout has not been completed, as soon as he dies, the Nord family will inevitably fight back, and then the merit will be defeated, and I will be the sinner of the Golden Leaf Dynasty." Princess Mingyue said lightly.
"I'll only kill people, and if you ask me, it's in vain. After the mysterious man finished speaking, his figure gradually faded, and soon the ice and snow in the sun dissipated into the air.
"Well, I'm not asking, I'm just trying to find someone to talk to. Princess Mingyue sighed lightly and stroked the hair on her forehead.
......
......
At the south gate of the imperial capital, two columns of heavily armed soldiers lined up on the left and right, and on the wall of the gate, Hummos the Great came to it, looking into the distance with deep eyes.
To the left of Hunmos stood a cadre of his cronies, while to his right were several key figures of the Nord family.
The patriarch of the Nord family sat in Curty. Nord stood beside Hamrod, the old man who was already old, with a face like tree bark, his eyes were a little cloudy, and he was holding a cane made of unknown material, which looked like he was about to rot wood, and he could rise to heaven at any moment.
It's just, Kirty ten years ago. Nord is already like this, but he is still alive and well, and now he just looks a little older.
"Old immortal, why don't you die. Hummos glanced at a sleepy Curty. Nord, cursed inwardly, assured that the old thing was pretending, but a kind and respectful smile spread across his face.
"Old Curtie, it's windy here, so you better go back and wait. Hummos the Great said with concern.
"Ah...... What His Majesty said just now, the old minister was a little deaf and didn't hear it. "Curty. Nord opened his cloudy eyes and looked at Emperor Hummos and said loudly.
Hummos the Great repeated, Curty. Only then did Nord nod and said loudly: "Your Majesty's body is important, and if the wind is strong, you won't have to wait for Your Majesty, and the old minister will send Your Majesty off." ”
Curty. Nord's voice was so loud that it was heard by everyone on and below the walls.
