Chapter 862: The First Meeting with the Emperor
Although he didn't know how Alicia learned about such a thing as the Manchu and Han banquets, Lin Feiyun Zuihou still did not hesitate to refuse the blonde girl's extortion (?) behavior on the grounds that everything was simple during the war, and calmly arranged his life to inform the emperor Gongsun Yi while bringing the guests to an ordinary tavern in the city.
There are also occasional buildings in the Western Continent and a few in the Western Continent - and in Baoqing City, you can also see a few Western Continent style buildings - and both are retro styles.
Locklip's shooting team was naturally busy turning the camera around, and the other friends were also looking around and looking dizzying, only Alicia didn't seem to give up, and decisively grabbed Icarus next to her, pushed her in front of Lin Feiyun, poked her head sideways from the back of the Queen of the Sky and said, "Old man, have you seen it, we have a fresh and tender beautiful angel here." If you don't treat her well and just plan to fool her by with some cheap local vegetables, you will be punished by the gods. ”
"This god's belly is inevitably too small, isn't hey!?" Lin Feiyun said angrily, "How deep is your obsession with luxury meals?"
Alicia immediately put her hands together near her chin and closed her eyes slightly, and made countless small stars around her body to make a yearning on her face: "Because the food in the Eastern Continent tastes very delicious, I finally came once and visited the locals as an envoy, of course, I want to take the opportunity to make them bleed and treat...... I mean, sincerely accept the kindness of the other party to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”
I've seen a thick-skinned one, but I've never seen one with such a thick skin. What's more, she is still such a beautiful girl with a natural beauty and unparalleled quality. Seeing that Elicia turned her face around her, looked at the nearby scenery, and made her companions who didn't recognize her, Lin Feiyun couldn't help but be messy in a gust of wind, and only after a long time did he rub his slightly aching head and said, "I'm sorry." In this chaotic year, the landlord's family has no surplus food, so you will just fill your stomach casually. ”
[I'll take it, Lin Feiyun, this old man is determined not to prepare any big feast for us. Hawkers,Although I feel a little regretful, it doesn't matter.,It's a big deal to let Ilya learn the various dishes of the Eastern Continent during this time, and let him make them for me to eat after I go back.。 】
Have you finally transformed from a tsundere-bellied black girl to a foodie girl who has been attacked!?
Ilya, who was pulling Michelle to look around with her, suddenly shivered for no apparent reason. At first, the black-haired boy thought that Alicia, who had a somewhat changeable personality, had a little temper and was glaring at him angrily when she saw her intimacy with Michelle, but he soon noticed that the blonde girl was secretly looking back at him, but she didn't look angry at all.
Opposite. She also slightly curled the corners of her mouth to reveal cute little tiger teeth - it is undeniable that Alicia's action does look very cute, and Siggs, who is not far away, even turned his eyes into red hearts when he saw this. However, the black-haired boy who has been dating the girl for so long knows very well in his heart, every time this girl stares at someone with such a cute expression. She is definitely 100% trying to figure out how to calculate the other party.
Ilya doesn't mind being calculated or mischievous by Alicia, because the girl's pranks are innocuous little jokes, and at most they make the other party suffer a little. And, whenever I play with fire. She would always be able to ask the other party in a timely manner, if the object was a teenager. Alicia may also take the initiative to give away some benefits and sell cuteness.
The black-haired boy was not worried about this at all, and it was not until later that the little queen kicked him into the royal kitchen of the chef who cooked for Gongsun Yi and let him learn from him......
Of course, Ilya doesn't know any of this now. After eating lunch and resting for a while, the young man followed Alicia and walked towards the temporary palace in Baoqing City under the leadership of Lin Feiyun.
"Hey, I didn't expect the emperor of the Ming Empire to be at the forefront. Hearing Lin Feiyun's introduction and reminder, Alicia tilted her head in surprise and said, "Commanding thousands of troops in the rear and strategizing thousands of miles away is what a ruler should do, doesn't it really matter if you run to the battlefield in person?"
"Well, in fact, the demon's previous attack was very fast. After the fall of the capital, Bixia retreated all the way here under the escort of the army. Lin Feiyun explained seriously, and then looked at the strange scene in front of him fiercely and suspiciously and asked. "Excuse me, what are you doing here?"
The crowd who was staring at a certain unconscious little queen with extremely contemptuous eyes immediately put on a non-squinting appearance before Alicia, who was full of question marks, reacted, and looked at Lin Feiyun in a cold sweat while showing a thoughtful expression.
However, the old general didn't ask anything, and continued to introduce: "Bixia actually organized a research team to set up a teleportation array to get in touch with the Western Continent, but we never expected that the demon would launch a large-scale attack so quickly, and the experiment could not be carried out under the unfavorable battle situation, so we had to stop in the end. However, the people of the Western Continent have locked the coordinates of the Eastern Continent through previous experiments and established the Space Gate, which is really providential. ”
"That's right, fate isn't on the side of the devil, so we still have a chance. Alicia casually wiped the ends of her hair and said, "Drowlivan will not be conquered by demons, and those batwing zuihou will eventually be expelled by us!"
Here it is again, this kind of incomparably powerful but not aggressive feeling at all, as if it wants to reign over the world. This girl...... Is it a member of the royal family of a country in the Western Continent Alliance? Lin Feiyun glanced at Alicia twice, then turned around and pointed to the luxurious courtyard building in front of him to change the subject: "Okay, we have arrived. In front of you is Bixia's temporary palace, but the number of people who will be able to meet you is limited to three, so please decide for yourself. The rest of the people are waiting in the room near the main entrance, and please refrain from wandering around the precincts. ”
"Well, that's a necessary security measure, I can understand that. Alicia nodded nonchalantly and said, "That's right." That Icarus and Poison Island Senpai, you two will follow me to meet the emperor of the Ming Empire. ”
The Queen of the Sky is an image character about face, and among the remaining friends who are off-line and unreliable. Only Poison Island is a normal person. Although Imrith can also be counted, the lethality of the two sisters at the same time is huge, and countless people, ministers and even guards have been fascinated by the two of them along the way. In case Gongsun Yi also followed in the footsteps of these people, and suddenly turned his face and planned to catch the sisters and put them in the deep palace......
Who dares to assert that this is impossible to happen? Although it really happens, Locklip will definitely immediately fall into a state of rampage in the next second, and people will block and kill Buddha, and stage an emotional drama of an elder brother saving his sister.
As for Yu Chimu, she shook her head lightly when Alicia looked at him just now, so the little queen didn't think about him anymore.
Lin Feiyun arranged for someone to bring the Creation God and the others to the guest room at the door, and he led Alicia to the backyard.
I don't know which tyrant belonged to this mansion, and its owner fled in a hurry with his family and belongings when the demon army approached. So the retreating Ming army unceremoniously requisitioned it as a temporary palace for Gongsun Yi. After passing through the garden, which is decorated with small bridges, flowing water, and rockeries, Lin Feiyun leads the three cute girls into a hall that seems to be used to receive guests and gather family members for holidays or meetings.
Gongsun Yi and more than a dozen courtiers standing on both sides were already waiting there.
The house in the courtyard was a glazed brick building familiar to Elicia, and the tables and chairs in the hall were made of sandalwood, although kerosene street lamps were seen in the street outside. The courtyard of the house retains classical red candles and copper candlesticks, and there are many ink paintings and poems written on the walls, and on the stand placed behind the middle-aged uncle in the dragon robe in the main seat are several delicate repeating muskets, which make the whole room more heroic in addition to elegance.
"Bixia, Chen Lin Feiyun has already brought the representative of the Western Continent. "Maybe it's some kind of charter. The old general did not bow down to Gongsun Yi. Instead, he bowed respectfully, clenched his fists and bowed his head.
"Aiqing has worked hard, come and sit down here. Gongsun Yi raised his hand and gestured, and then decisively set his eyes on Icarus's body - although Alicia was standing in front of the Queen of the Sky and Poison Island Tsuneko, she was blocked by Lin Feiyun due to her height, and Gongsun Yi didn't see it, and said with excitement on her face, "Sure enough, it's a real angel." It was Your Highness who defeated the demonic siege force yesterday, right? Thank you so much. Also, is the Protoss returning to Drowlivan?"
A girl's voice that made people feel straight to the point of sweetness in their throats suddenly sounded behind Lin Feiyun, who was about to raise his feet: "Those chicken wings have indeed returned, but the purpose of their return is not to help us defeat the demons. ”
Who dares to be so bold as to call the Protoss chicken wings!? And listening to the voice, she is still a girl. Gongsun Yi and his courtiers were suddenly stunned, and Lin Feiyun, who already had a little understanding of Alicia's character, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
After Lin Feiyun, who came back to his senses in time, moved away and let the girl behind him out. The entire hall fell silent in an instant.
There is no doubt that the girl in front of her is definitely a treasure that the creator god accidentally left behind in the earthly world. Any flowery rhetoric would be overshadowed in front of her. In this way, under the extremely amazing gaze of everyone, Alicia curled the corners of her mouth lightly, elegantly took the edge of her skirt and bowed slightly to Gongsun Yi and said, "First time we met, the respected Emperor of the Ming Empire of the Eastern Continent, Bixia. My name is Alicia Harris, and I am the leader of a team called 'Thorn Rose' among the many adventurers sent from the Western Continent this time. ”
Icarus is an angel, and she nods her head to give face, and Poison Island is kneeling on the ground on one knee according to the etiquette of the Western Continent, so naturally there is no problem. However, this beautiful girl still only made a faint greeting gift when she knew that Gongsun Yi was the emperor, no matter what, it was a bit too much, right?
However, the girl behaved as a matter of course, so much so that a certain minister, who liked to chew the root of his tongue to find trouble and pick bones in the eggs, was stunned and did not dare to speak. Because of his instinct, he warned himself that the girl in front of him was definitely a big man on an equal footing with Gongsun Yi, and it was definitely not an existence that he could afford to provoke.
Gongsun Yi was shocked when he saw Alicia, and when he heard that she was only the leader of an adventure team, he also made the idea of keeping her. However, the blonde girl's unfazed and indifferent appearance made the emperor wake up. After all, it is impossible for an ordinary civilian girl to have this kind of temperament and cultivation.
What's more, there are angels inside, but she is still standing at the forefront of the three-person team, isn't that enough to explain the problem?
"It's been hard work from afar. Girls. After Gongsun Yi calmed down, he coughed vigorously so that his subordinates who were dumbfounded came out of the petrified state, "Come on, give us beautiful guests a seat." ”
After Alicia and her party took their seats on the wooden chairs, the emperor officially asked: "Although I would like to say some polite words and scene words to welcome, I believe that you are also very clear about the current battle situation, so let's stop gossiping." Excuse me, what kind of help can Shili from the Western Continent that you represent provide us?"
[Straight to the point. How do you feel that it seems to be a little different from what Yu Chimu said?]
Alicia didn't wonder for long, and immediately pinched the hair in her ear and replied seriously: "I believe that Old Man Lin has already made a report about us for you, so it's easy to say." In fact, the help we can provide is quite limited. Because the main forces of the alliance are all trapped on the continent of Taylandyr, the adventurers sent over this time can basically only be counted as armed civilians. However, they are all people who have actual combat experience with monsters, and after a few battles, they will become reliable combat power. However, this is the home of the Ming Empire after all, and we can at most deal with it on the side. It's up to you on the main battlefield. ”
"That's nature. Gongsun Yi immediately nodded and said. "I am grateful that all of you in the Western Continent have come to your aid for the sake of our fellow Zolllivans. But now that the demon clan is strong, I think it's better to hold on and wait for the opportunity. Why don't you tell you about the combat power in Baoqing City, and you inform me of the combat power sent by the alliance, and the two sides will formulate Jihua according to the total combat power, and then launch a counterattack after the preparations are completed?"
Strange, something doesn't seem quite right?Alysia tilted her head silently. Then he spoke: "Well, we have sent a total of about 30,000 adventurers and 50 magic-powered armored combat vehicles this time; And Icarus plus a cute little black dragon. Before adventurers build up their combat power, Icarus and the Black Dragon can be used to put pressure on the demons. ”
Poison Island Tsuneko, who was lucky enough to get a seat despite being a guard, lowered her head slightly when she heard this, revealing a contemplative expression, because as far as she knew, the alliance had more combat power than that. What is Alicia deliberately hiding her strength to prevent?
Gongsun Yi showed a satisfied expression: "Well, in general, it is also a liliang that can affect the battle situation." Well, there were about 200,000 troops in Baoqing City, of which 30,000 were armed with advanced muskets, in addition to several hundred artillery pieces, the fleet on the nearby river was also not furnished, and there were more than 200 steam-powered armored chariots in the city. To be honest, there is no problem with these combat forces defending the city, but they can go out of the city and fight back or something......"
"That would be really hanging. The blonde girl nodded in agreement, "I see, since Icarus is here, then leave the matter of aerial reconnaissance of the demon army to us." After ascertaining the approximate size and composition of the enemy's army, we will discuss the details of the battle, and before doing so, we will focus on defending our respective positions. ”
"I agree. Gongsun Yi looked very happy, and proposed while the iron was hot, "Also, Miss Harris, about the alliance between the Ming Empire and the Alliance, ......."
"It's too early to form an alliance. Alicia, who felt more and more strange, shook her head lightly and refused, "You must know that the alliance sent not the army, but a group of volunteers, and it does not represent the alliance itself. The formal establishment of diplomatic relations will be discussed only after the overall war situation in the Eastern Continent has been brought under control and improved. ”
The emperor didn't seem to feel very sorry, and leaned back in his chair slightly and relaxed, "I'm sorry, I seem to be in a hurry. But at the very least, please leave a way to contact you, as sending messengers through the demon's camp is not a reliable way to communicate after all. ”
"Of course. Alicia said and took out a crystal ball from the bracelet, which made the eyes of everyone who thought it was an ordinary accessory light up, "This is a magic crystal ball for long-distance communication that is very widely used in the Western Continent, and I have set up another crystal ball to pair with it in the adventurer's camp, and you can contact it as long as it is activated." In addition, although we cannot establish formal diplomatic relations for the time being, there are many goods unique to the Western Continent in our camp that are sold to adventurers. After repelling the nearby demon army, if the merchants of the Ming Empire are interested, they may wish to bring their goods over to take a look. I believe there should be a lot of gains. ”
"Do you want to establish diplomatic relations after you have a certain understanding of each other through private transactions and lay a good foundation?" Gongsun Yi stroked his chin and groaned, "Very good proposal, I accepted." Anything else?"
"No, Emperor. Alicia gracefully stood up and saluted with her skirt, "Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule for us, and if you don't mind, we'll leave." ”
"Miss Harris, it's okay to sit a little longer, how about you stay for dinner?"
"I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend. ”
"Well, that's a pity. ”
After bidding farewell to the slightly embarrassed Gongsun Yi, Elysia slowly left the hall with Icarus and Poison Island Tsuneko. (To be continued......)
