"What, you're on a business trip?" Jue asked.
Ku nodded, "Yes, I'm going to find Lord Gutong." β
"Ah, speaking of which, I haven't seen Gu Tong since I entered Dragon City. β
Jue didn't ask where Gu Tong went at first, but the answers he got were all business trips.
At this time, Sora and Sakai were chatting in the distance.
"Does Helenhua know?" asked Ben.
"She knew, but I didn't tell her the details. After all, I don't want her to worry. β
"And when are you coming back?" asked Hon.
"I don't know...... Kong secretly glanced at Bang Jue: "Jue will ask you to guarantee the bottom." β
"I, but you know, Ji Yun and I are already in this relationship, so I don't want to get involved in such a dangerous thing anymore!"
"Wait! what's wrong with you and Ji Yun?!...... You shouldn't be going to the south to see her parents this time?!"
Ben nodded silently, "Life is not a problem now, so ......"
"Hey, when is the wedding? β
"There will be some time, and you should be able to come. Bun smiled.
"Is that so? So does the Dao Dragon Sect know about this?"
For the royal race, marriage with a foreigner was subject to the approval of the faith they professed. This is also because the affairs of Shangdu make the royal race very cautious about this kind of thing.
"I've applied to them. β
"How?"
"In short, I checked Ji Yun's family history for fifty generations, proving that there were no apostate clansmen, and then checked her side lineage carefully, almost involving thousands of people. In short, the faith audit passed. β
"As for it, for the sake of someone who doesn't even have a surname?" Sora was a little surprised.
Kong and Bang are both royal races without surnames, so their status in the dragon clan can be said to be very low, and it is reasonable to say that there is no reason for Bang to waste so much manpower and material resources.
"Lord Daolong said that it was for future practice. I guess they used me as a test subject. β
"Well, you're in luck. β
"Don't say that yet. Don't you know, it turns out that Ji Yun's hometown is a great nobleman in the south!"
"What? But she doesn't look like a daughter...... But it's not impossible to spend money on such a weapon, and you have a prominent family......"
"Yes. But her family is quite interesting, and more importantly, her family believes in the Daolong teachings. β
"Eh~ that's really good...... Forget it, anyway, monitoring Jue is just one of your deputy tasks, the main thing is to leave it to Ying Ning and Mo Huayun, after all, your immobility is really a little weak against Jue - your strength can't compare to him anyway. β
"Now, empty. What do you think? Jue may become an existence that threatens the Dragon Clan and even the Three Realms?"
"One step at a time, after all, I like Jue very much, and that guy has a good chat with me. β
At this time, Ice Thousand Birds and Ember Tsui appeared from both sides of the throne, and the early dynasty began.
Although it is still the routine "get up early every day and say the first sentence, you will die", the ice thousand birds beat the embers, but the content of this morning dynasty is a bit serious.
"The news from the south must have been known to everyone. The king of Bannanguo, the largest country in the south, was assassinated, and now Bannanguo is still in a situation where there is no king in charge, and the operation of the country depends on the political class of the imperial court there. However, the current situation in the southern part of the country is not optimistic, and there is a possibility that the country's internal society will collapse. Although the people of Bannan have a lot of confidence in the country, the country as a whole is in a weak state, so I think it is necessary to interfere in the administration of Bannanguo. Said the person in charge of the report.
"Eh~ Are you finally going to get involved in politics?" Ember said casually, "What do the people of Jiuqing think?
"Seven votes in favor and two abstentions. β
"Oh! it's overwhelming......" Ember smiled.
Jiuqing can be said to be the Minister of Parliament of Ember Qiang, helping Ember Qiang to make suggestions, and at the same time, Jiuqing also formed the so-called high-level dragon clan with some dragon emperors, emperors and Ember Qiang.
Ember Qi sat up straight at this time, and he asked, "Who is going to Bannanguo to interfere politically?"
After this sentence was over, the civil officials under Ember did not answer.
This kind of thing is simple to say, but it is difficult to operate in practice. First, the cadre must complete the task of the cadre, that is, to complete the task of the dragon clan; second, the cadre cannot completely affect the political operation of the country where he is located, that is to say, he cannot intervene in too many things as a cadre magistrate; third, the cadre must ensure the absolute interests of the dragon clan, that is, even if he helps the country to develop and take off, it cannot affect the interests of the dragon clan.
There was silence in the inner sanctum.
Seeing this scene, Honkai wanted to reach out and take the job, but he was preempted by a person next to him.
"Oh, Jue, are you going?" Ash Qi looked at Jue with interest when he saw Jue suddenly raise his hand.
"Yes. Jue said calmly.
When Ember Qiang said that he was publishing Nanguo, Jue had a premonition that there was a chance for Wu Shuo!
Is it possible to ban it in the southern part of the country. But why is the prohibition in Bannan? Even if it is really in Bannan, then why is there no name of forbiddenness in the transgressor's magic weapon?
"Jue, this time it's not a joke to go to the southern country, if something goes wrong, you will be fully responsible. You have to think about it. β
"Yes. β
Although the Ice Thousand Bird above and the Nar beside the Ice Thousand Bird kept giving Jue a look and warning him not to take this task, Jue still ignored the two of them's instructions.
"Okay, Jue. Ember clapped his hands, and an attendant appeared from the outside of the inner sanctum, holding a tray with the Dragon's Summon, a Dragon's token, and a Mithril dagger on it.
"The Dragon's Summons give you a reason to carry out your orders, the Dragon's Token gives you the status to perform your mission, and the Mithril Shortsword requires you to have the consciousness to defend the Dragonborn...... In all senses, including ......"
"Do you apologize after a failure?" Jue said.
"That's right, including that. Ember said, and then he changed his serious tone and said, "Anyway, you will only be executed if you have committed something irreparable." β
"Is that so?" Jue picked up the short sword and played with it in his hand for a while, then said, "Understood, I'll take care of it." β
Jue took the tray from the squire's handβunder the worried gazes of Ice Chidori and Nal.
Late that night, there was a knock on Ao Li's door.
"Ao Li, I'm in. Ice Chidori said and pushed the door open.
"Huh? Chidori-san. Here, what do you want to ask today?" asked Ao Li, who sat at the table and turned her head.
Ice Chidori realizes that she has just closed a book, which is supposed to be a diary.
"Ah, there's something I want to ask you. Ice Thousand Birds approached Ao Li, she and Ao Li were very close, she said, "I'll just get straight to the point, what do you think of Jue." β
Ao Li was stunned for a moment, then stepped back slightly, and said, "Jue, you're a good person...... I feel like he's a good match for you and Sister Shani, maybe he can really marry you two at once, but he doesn't seem to have much interest in women, isn't he a ......?"
"Ao Li!" Ice Chidori slapped the table, and she suddenly trapped Ao Li in her arms.
When Ao Li saw Ice Nestory's attitude, she straightened her face and said, "Ice Nestory, what are you going to do?!
"Today, I don't care if you are a princess or not, or whether I am a general or not. I'm just talking to you as a woman and telling me what you really think of Jue in your heart. β
"Why ask such a boring question?" said Ao Li coldly.
"Your attitude," Ice Chidori asked rhetorically with the same cold attitude, "why do you keep helping Sister Xia Ni but keep looking for opportunities to get close to Jue? What kind of heart do you have? If you also like Jue, why don't you participate in this battle openly?"
Although Ice Nestory could vaguely feel Ao Li's intentions, if Nal hadn't reminded Ice Nestle in time, she really couldn't believe that Ao Li was really interested in Jue.
"What do you think......"
Ao Li's voice instantly went limp, and her tone began to crumble.
"Eh......" Ice Chidori was stunned.
Tears flowed from Ao Li's eyes, and two teardrops drew two tear stains on her face.
"Why...... I...... I want to be with Jue too......" Ao Li covered her mouth and said, "Obviously...... Obviously, I met Jue first, but why did Sister Xia Ni confess to Jue first......"
"It's the condition that you've been communicating with Sister Xia Ni and Jue, right......" Bing Chidori was stunned by Ao Li's sudden turn.
"I know, but ...... But it always feels like an appointment...... It's okay to let Sister Shani go first...... But, why? Why is there always a voice preventing me from contacting Jue? Why!" Ao Li shouted and wiped her tears, "Sister Chidori!" Ao Li hugged Ice Chidori at once.
Bing Qiandao was stunned for a moment, then touched Ao Li's head, and said gently: "Okay, okay, don't cry, don't cry, you really love to cry...... Do you still love so much snot?"
Ice Chidori knew this feeling, and she also understood the difficulty of trying to suppress this heart-wrenching throbbing
"Chidori-san, what should I do? I, I like Jue too! He saved me, too! But, but if I say I like Jue too...... Sister Xia Ni will definitely give up, she supports the royal family so much, she ......"
Ice Nestle touched Ao Li's head, and she seemed to understand what was going on.
"It's okay, sometimes it's enough to be bold to love, and in this regard, we are all equal......"
Late at night, the two girls hugged each other and cried, complaining about the messy relationship and hopeless feelings.
It is one of the few countries that still retains slavery, but this slavery is not a transactional system, but a policy implemented to reduce the crime rate. Those who were assigned slaves were assigned to erratic hard labor, or were used as servants by other nobles, although some had a worse end. But fortunately, under the rule of the former kings of Bannan, there were almost no people who were enslaved every year.
However, with the death of the ancestor of the southern kingdom, the crime rate within the country began to rise, and the political world was divided into two partsβthe pro-king faction and the aristocratic faction. The prime minister of Bannan, the pro-king faction headed by auxiliary political officials, and the aristocratic faction composed of some powerful nobles engaged in a seemingly peaceful but undercurrent political contest in the government of Bannan.
Sacrifice is inevitable, and in the end, some people will have to pay the price for the political struggle and become scapegoats.
"Hey, are you there?" someone walked into a dark room.
The smell here is pungent and unpleasant, and the sultry air is uncomfortable.
"Oh?~ doesn't look like a degraded prisoner. A two-and-a-half-meter-tall man wearing a black robe and hood said.
The hooded man leaned down to take a closer look at the man who had arrived.
In fact, once you see that inhuman face, you will definitely be scared to death. Because the man wasn't a human at all! His face was made up of many leech-like creatures attached to a skeleton! His body didn't have any human organs, it was all made of unidentified creatures like leeches. Any movement of this monster is done by the coordinated wriggling of these leeches, and even the sound of speech is done by the leeches in the throat and abdomen through compressed air. Two more bright red spots like ghost fire were swaying in its eyes, which should be its eyes.
"Oh, isn't this Lord Li Jiang?" "Even if the monster had no eyes, it could see the identity of the comer.
Li Jiang swallowed his saliva and said, "It's really rare to see...... The only slave merchant in the southern part of the country, the skeleton. β
"Hmph, hum, ......hum," the skeleton laughed, "It's also a fate that my name can be known by Executive Officer Li Jiang." β
"Of course, I don't want to judge too much of something like you, you're too inhuman in your way of dealing with prisoners. β
"So what?" "The skeleton was crooked, no, it was a complete turn of his head, "a little demoted to a slave, there is no human rights, you know?"
Li Jiang didn't say anything, but looked at the skeleton coldly.
"Why did Master Li come this time? Do you want slaves? Or ......?"
"Of course, I'm here to see off a prisoner. Li Jiang shook his hand as he spoke.
He was holding an iron chain in his hand, another section of the chain
The sound of chains sounded on the other side, like the footsteps of someone walking barefoot, but I don't know if the person hadn't eaten, the footsteps were weak and disordered.
"Hurry up!" Li Jiang kicked hard as soon as he saw the person on the other side of the chain.
The person who was kicked stumbled and fell to the ground, and he couldn't get up after a lot of effort.
"Oh?" the skeleton glanced at the man who had fallen to the ground.
She is a woman, and she is in her twenties. She has brown hair and dark brown eyes. Her appearance looks very intellectually beautiful, and even the scars of being beaten do not affect people's impression of her beauty. She was tall, but she was a little emaciated, and she should be hungry. Her skin was white, but it was covered in scars from the whipping and a little rough, and her hair was messy. The clothes used to wear are just a piece of cloth wrapped around the body, barely covering the shame.
"Do you know?" asked Li Jiang.
The skeleton stretched out its handβa skeletal hand full of leeches.
It put its hand against the woman's chin, making her look at herself.
The woman resisted at first, but she had no strength at all to get rid of this disgusting hand. However, this woman is also admirable, because even in this environment, she does not show any fear at all.
"It should be the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family?...... Hmm, why did the people of the Ouyang family become slaves? Could it be that the Ouyang family has declined?"
"No," Li Jiang shook his head, "The Ouyang family is good, and it has become even stronger than before...... Thanks to this guy too. As he spoke, Li Jiang glanced at the woman on the ground as if he was looking at garbage.
"Tell me about it. β
"This thing was originally used as a political marriage to marry the son of the Bu family, but the Bu family was defeated before the marriage, so in order to get rid of the crime, the young master of the Ouyang family confessed his sister - became a scapegoat. β
"Hehe, what a dead star. The leech in his hand touched the woman's body, from her throat all the way to her collarbone and even her armpits.
"And it's a high-end product, if you buy it, you'll make a lot of money......" The widow leaned closer and sniffed deeply, "Ah......! Is it a virgin? That would make more money. β
Just as the skeleton was about to carry out further and worse indecency, Li Jiang sprinkled something on its body.
"Ahββ!h
"Sure enough, salt shouldn't be used against you, the crystallization of vinegar is more effective for you, and that lord is really omnipotent. Li Jiang looked at the corpse with the same eyes as garbage.
"You...... You know my weaknesses......" said the skeleton, clutching his wound that had turned into a thick yellow liquid.
"It's not that I know, but the adult knows. Li Jiang said coldly, "By the way, there is one thing you have to keep in mind. β
"What?"
"This woman, don't sell it. And to ensure her pure identity. She had to be full every day, so she had better get back to her original body shape as soon as possible. You can do the rest as you like. Remember, this woman can only be given away, not bought or sold. β
"Can you only give it away? what the hell is asking for?" the skeleton slowly stood up, "and how do I know what her original size is." β
"I don't know, that's what the lord asked, by the way, you have to choose the right person to give it away, according to the adult's words, you should meet the right person. As for the size...... Just follow the standard of being able to seduce men. That's pretty much it, I'll go first. β
"Wait. β
"Huh?"
"You say...... If you defile her, you can let her do anything?"
"That's right, she can do whatever she wants, so don't let those filthy bulls make her live, you have to educate the bulls in your hands even if you want to breed. Ah, if she is sent out, you don't have to worry about what happens to her. After saying that, Li Jiang left.
The skeleton turned to look at the woman. It had a terrifying, eerie glow in its gaze.
In a luxurious palace in Bannan, Mist is drinking wine from the Soul Realm.
"Hmm...... Europa Alliance wines are just amazing! full-bodied and sweet...... It's not as good as the soda......"
"Hmm...... You're really funny......" The silver-haired, blood-eyed woman sat across from the fog.
"Hmph, where did the fun come from? Really, although I like Takashi very much, I feel a little guilty when I think about what I want to do in the future...... But I didn't expect to see that house as it was, I was so surprised, I didn't expect that the predecessor of such a mansion was actually a small bamboo house!"
"Things are all developing. β
"That's right...... Things are not people, everything will change......"
"This is a historical necessity. Ping smiled.
Fog was stunned, and then he immediately hugged the maid in the gothic maid costume who was serving on the side, and then put his hands on her and gave her a meal that was not suitable for children.
"Ah~ eldest sister, you have to know that I am a wife and children. β
Ping looked at the mist with interest.
"You're really interesting...... That kid is number one, and you are number two. Ping said.
After hearing this, the fog let go of the maid, and then said, "I gave up the courage to fight against you, but Ryuna didn't give up, may he fight for me to the end......"
Ping smiled again, her smile beautiful but dangerous, like a beautiful poisonous roseβinviting people to get closer, but yet so deadly.
Long, I've become a lackey of the Creator, what about you, what is your final choice?......
