Chapter 318: Salute for the Birth of the King!
“……”
Looking at Dongfang Xiao who was naked in front of him, Xu Shi's heart was like water.
No, no, no, if you see more of this kind of drama, your heart will become as cold as a fish-killing knife.
Or maybe he had expected that there would be such a day - under the sowing of "entropy of evil thoughts", Stockholm or something is simply not too common.
Yes, he prefers to use words like Stockholm, because he knows very well that there is no such deep affection between himself and the little queen, and some of those feelings are not so pure.
Because the bond between the two originally started from interests.
For him, he needed an agent who could control and govern the Hualan Empire, and Dongfang Xiao was naturally the most suitable candidate.
But on the other hand, it may be because there are a lot of warblers and Yanyan around him, and he hasn't invested too much in the little queen - to put it mildly, wasn't it because of that flag in the first place......
And in his opinion, Dongfang Xiao is not like this.
She hopes to get out of control and become a veritable empress, so she does not hesitate to seize the future and commit herself to herself, a great villain.
But after learning the truth, her mentality will naturally change, and it can be seen from the time they get along when they build the empire together these days that they have a little more respect for each other.
So......
"You know we're in reality, right?"
Xu Shi said half-jokingly, and at the same time reminded Dongfang Xiao that if he did it just because his buddy was leaving, it would not be necessary.
"Of course I do."
Dongfang Xiao nodded, her tone was true, but she still looked trembling - suddenly taking off her clothes made her a little cold, and she couldn't help but shiver.
However, her eyes were unusually clear, and it was clear that this was not a thought in a hurry.
"Are you sure you want to do that?"
Xu Shi asked, "Don't forget, you are the queen of this country." ”
"That's why I'm doing this because I'm the Empress."
Dongfang Xiao pursed her lips and stepped forward to wrap her arms around his neck, "Do you remember our previous agreement?" ”
"I will not obey anyone but you, everything I do."
Her eyes flickered, "including...... My marriage. ”
She bit the word "marriage" very hard, obviously because she was not sure what kind of mentality she was in.
"Actually, until you came today, I don't know how I should face you......"
There was a little more grievance in her tone, "In the end, you took advantage of me, but this is also a choice I made, and I paid the price for it." ”
"So I should keep my distance from you, and the previous ones, well, bad things should also be sealed away and not even thought about it."
"But when you said you were leaving, I suddenly found that I seemed to ...... I can't live without you. ”
Her eyes were teary as she spoke, "It's true that I don't want you to go, I really rely on you, I want you to stay here and build an empire with me......"
"But I know I don't have the right to do that, so ...... Just let me say goodbye to you in this way, okay? ”
This is all her true words, in the final analysis, she is still a little unhappy because of the unequal master-servant relationship with Xu Shi, as she said, in her perspective, "bad things" at that time.
But she can't deny her admiration for Xu Shi.
Yes, it is worship, she knows very well that in the face of Xu Shi's words, it seems that admiration is more appropriate than liking the word, and Zheng'er Bajing is like a disciple's admiration for a teacher.
The drastic suppression of the enemy and the reform, which no locals could do, was easily achieved in the hands of an outsider, and this alone was enough to make her eyes shine.
At the same time, after getting along with Xu Shi for so long, she has indeed learned a lot - the previous sentence of dependence is actually adulterated, even if Xu Shi really never returns, she is confident that she can carry forward everything he laid for herself.
But what she didn't know was that the reason why she had such thoughts was due to the "increase in the entropy of evil thoughts".
If there is no such layer, there will still be emotions, but it will definitely not be as strong as it is now.
The most intuitive example is probably Qin Yiyan, Xu Shi is too lazy to give her the ability, just relying on the subtle influence of words and behaviors, it is difficult for her shaft head to change in a short period of time.
However, Dongfang Xiao is actually a shaft head, and he really can't think of any other way, so he simply plans to dedicate himself to him.
On the one hand, she planned to leave a little trace in Xu Shi's heart in this way - to tell the truth, a year ago she was still a clean little white tweed, but unfortunately now she has long become the shape of Xu Shi, and she has learned a lot of strange knowledge, so she naturally thought of such a method.
I've been playing fake all along, and now it's time to play for real!
Second, as she said before, from now on, she will have to make her own decisions about everything, whether it is governing the country or ...... Find a man.
She doesn't expect marriage or not, but with Zhuyu in front of her for a while, she feels that she can't look down on anyone else.
"Say goodbye."
Seeing her serious appearance, Xu Shi couldn't help but smile, "It's not that you won't come back, you can contact me at any time if you have anything, you know?" ”
I have to say that at that moment just now, he didn't see a little daughter who was pretentious, but felt that Dongfang Xiao had really grown up, no longer as shy and timid as before, and looked a lot more chic.
"You're right, we're not saying goodbye."
Dongfang Xiao did not deny his statement, but also pointed out where she was entangled, "Even in the future, I want to visit your city-state as a guest...... But after all, you won't be by my side during this time. ”
"We are both master and apprentice, master and servant...... You're going to have to give me a thought. ”
Her tone suddenly became slower, "Or ...... Do you want me to find a random man to marry, so that the country that you and I have built together will be more stable? ”
Xu Shi's expression suddenly became not very good-looking.
I didn't see it, you little girl is still going to play this film?
How could he not hear that the little queen was trying to provoke him, so that the rest of the matter would fall into place, and finally the raw rice would be cooked into rice.
But the possessiveness of this product itself is terrifying and scary, how can you not react at all when you hear this?
"Then let's let the ministers trespass."
He no longer hesitated, and she was responsible for quelling the fire that the little guy had provoked herself.
Seeing Xu Shi's reaction, Dongfang Xiaole was happy, this is the effect she wants, isn't it?
But then again, if you really get some political marriage and find a so-called "husband", I'm afraid that only Xu Shi will think of it.
Hey, isn't this just the master's task?
She remembered the obscene scripts she had secretly read before, and her little face turned red unconsciously.
Thinking about it, she had been carried by Xu Shi to the couch in the study.
The tearing pain came, and Xu Shi had to tease her with words, "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being rude." ”
Where can the little empress who has tasted personnel for the first time in the flesh withstand his tossing like this, and her thoughts don't know where to fly for a long time.
All she could do was clutch to the sheets and mutter.
"You're ...... The real king. ”
……
Early the next morning, the princes in the court noticed that Her Majesty the Empress was a little different.
Although the royal family is absolutely dominant in the empire now, she can still feel that she is a little delirious when she encounters a change.
Including those affairs that piled up like snowflakes, she personally picked the beams to deal with them, but she was always a little overwhelmed, and she added a little haggard.
But after this night, it was obvious that she seemed to have untied some knot, not to mention her spirits, and the whole person looked much lighter.
In her gestures, she even really felt like an emperor scolding Fang Xuan, just like her father.
If you look closely, it seems to be more charming, from a slightly immature little girl, to a new stage.
The princes and ministers present, everyone knew that Dongfang Xiao was definitely a delicate flower, and she used to always say that she was useless, but the premise was that she was also good.
In the early years, there were many people who wanted to follow the path of in-laws, but they were all blocked by Cheng Gujian.
Now it seems even more impossible - many people still know the details, and know that some time ago, the regent, oh, was still the emperor Xu Shi often shared a room with Her Majesty the Empress, and stayed for a long time.
Yesterday was an overnight stay at the palace, and what happened was clear at a glance.
Ah......h
Maybe everyone didn't expect that their own empire would eventually fall into the hands of an outsider, and even the empress might already be someone else's.
But no one is stupid enough to debunk it.
First, Xu Shi's methods are really more ruthless than Cheng Gujian, and if he is not ruthless, he will not be able to fight Cheng Gujian...... If you really want to put your beak in this kind of thing, there will be no good fruit to eat.
Second, Xu Shi's arrival did bring unprecedented development to the empire, and it was definitely not a bad thing to cooperate with him and the city-states behind him.
It would be good if I could continue to make friends with Xu Shi in this way.
The old things think like this, but there is no shame in betraying the empress in exchange for benefits, what can you say when the raw rice is cooked?
It's tacit.
Dongfang Xiao has no intention of shying away from it, and what the court said today is also a matter of Xu Shi.
"The Empire and the City of Night Sins are allies and friends for eternity, and now the Lord Regent wants to return home, and as a friend, I also want to give him a great gift."
Then there was the list she had prepared a long time ago, some gold, silver and jewelry, but more of them were more precious liquid "rusty mist" ores.
Of course, this was discussed early on, for Xu Shi, only these were the gains he valued, including the mining rights of some ore veins, which had already been obtained in his hands, even if he returned to Night Sin City, he would still maintain trade and resource exchanges.
So today this is just a notice, not to discuss with these guys.
What is a tactical backlash? (Ichigendo)
He himself was now sitting on the spacious dragon chair with Dongfang Xiao, and when he heard the little empress summoning him, he just nodded, "Your Majesty." ”
As he spoke, he did not shy away from hugging her shoulders, "This king is homesick, but the exchanges between the two states will not be delayed because of this, Her Majesty will not be on the throne soon, and she also needs a lot of assistance from your royal workers." ”
This is not a slip of the tongue, but a very flamboyant declaration of sovereignty, was Dongfang Xiao the empress before? Only the throne that her buddies helped her lay down is the real throne.
At the same time, it is also a warning, don't think that I can jump without you and be a man with my tail between my legs.
After all, now that he is a master and apprentice, the help that should be given still has to be given.
The ministers said yes again and again.
Maybe in the entire history of the Hualan Empire, there has never been such an excessively powerful minister, who is so rude to Her Majesty the Empress in public, if there is no one here, will you be directly on fire?
But they could only pretend not to see, and at most they cried to their ancestors in their hearts.
Dongfang Xiao's face turned red again, how could this person be so presumptuous!
But after thinking about it carefully, she also wanted to cry without tears, in the end, she recruited him herself, what else could she say if she became like this......
After breaking free a few times, she saw that she couldn't break free, and she simply came with Xu Shi - there was no strength, yesterday from the imperial study to the dormitory, and it was a great achievement for her to be able to go to court today.
Oh yes, there's a cute crown mark on the back of her right hand.
Anyone who understands understands what it is.
"Evil thoughts entropy increases", and the closed loop is completed.
She couldn't stand up, and the next thing was Xu Shi talking.
The main thing is some details of the industrialization of the empire - in fact, the timing of this return is quite bad, and it happens to be at the juncture when the track is being laid and the train is being built.
That's a big step.
However, the corresponding personnel and technology are also in place, and it is still very easy for them from Night Sin City to get this kind of thing.
Including the steamship - it didn't take long for the City of One Night Sin to regain its seafaring skills, but there were more than enough people to teach the Hualan Empire.
With safer and faster ships on both sides, it will be much easier to travel between each other, and even expand outward.
Under such a premise, even if you feel arrogant, everyone has to admit that this guy has some ability.
In the delicate atmosphere, Xu Shi and his entourage spent the last period of their time in the Hualan Empire.
On the eve of departure.
Thousands of empty alleys.
Not only did the royal family give him enough cards as the regent, but Dongfang Xiao personally led people to see him off, and many people also spontaneously came to see him off.
It's just that in the identity of the cat sect leader - the common people may not recognize any regent, but the cat and cat sect leader who benefits the country and the people is enough for them to be grateful for a lifetime.
It seems that unconsciously, everyone here can't do without him.
Looking at the grand scene below, Boss Xu was still in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the past.
But in the end, he just waved his hand and shouted out the same line as before.
"Set sail, set sail!"
