lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of Fengzi Monogatari!

"Ah! I said why it is so uncomfortable. It turns out to be too dark, brother-in-law, can I trouble you to brighten this place a little bit!"

The joking tone seemed to be instructing the servant, and there was no sense of respect. Bai Wuji was angry, and suddenly stood up. Before he could say anything, he was preempted by the other party.

"Isn't the second brother-in-law very good at magic? A little bit of carving skills, what's the embarrassment, it is not for you to perform martial arts, don't worry about being embarrassed." As he said, Lancelow turned his head and smiled strangely, and said:" But... Is your martial arts really bad? Why do I suddenly feel so scared in my heart?

Will you wait a while and just let me die? "

The frivolous tone is obviously not sincere, but Bai Wuji's face suddenly became extremely solemn. The power of the Patriarch, which had only been revealed before Bai Junze and others, made the indoor atmosphere tense and almost climbed. To the point of murderous aura. However, Lancelot seemed to feel nothing, still lying on the chair, squinting lazily at the person in front of him.

At this moment, Bai Wuji knew the reason why he made consecutive mistakes tonight. I finally understood why the temperament of this mountain monkey was so familiar. The kind of approach that seems to know everything about the other party, and holds all the background, secrets, and psychological changes in his hands, so that the enemy has no room for resistance, and can only bow his head to surrender, which is exactly the style of his brother.

I have never been hostile to my elder brother in the past. Although I understand his style, I have never experienced it personally. Therefore, I didn’t notice it at the beginning. Although Lancelow’s words and deeds tonight are completely different from those of my elder brother, They are all creating the same result, and I oversight for a while, still using the old standard to measure the monkey, and naturally suffer a big loss as soon as they meet each other.

(Brother, you really caused me a lot of trouble...)

Shaking his head, Bai Wuji combed his messy hair with his fingers, then sat down again, flicked his fingers, and instantly waved away. Everywhere he passed, all the lamp holders and candlesticks, They all light up, igniting a brilliance ten times more brilliant than they should have been. Sparks keep flaring like alive, and there are seven candles with no seats, directly drifting over, floating around the two of them. Falling, illuminating things one after another.

"Good skill, Uncle Amao really is not a pure evil spirit." Lancelow really admired the sentence whether it was a compliment or a satire.

Although I don’t know the knowledge of magic, there are two or more natural elements in the energy fluctuation just now. This is really not easy. At least, it is a first-class difficult skill in the earth. .

"Stop the gossip, I just want to know, did anyone help you in your speech that day or write a speech?"

Since it has been spread out to speak, Bai Wuji will not waste time and directly identify the center of the problem.

From the content of that speech, we can re-evaluate the man in front of me.

The reason why the fake brother's head was given to him was only to let him explain to the people that the prisoner who should be the most responsible for this war was dead, but he did not expect that this man would take advantage of the situation to turn black and white and publish The war announcement, this is really a very beautiful hand. I thought it was my sister Liya’s idea, but now it seems...

"No. If I have to say yes, I just absorbed it from my brother-in-law, and the experience and knowledge left in my head came in handy."

Still smiling, Lancelow's expression is much more serious. Now that he has gained the upper hand, he doesn't have to put on a posture anymore and can go directly to the subject.

"What are you looking for me for? The White Tower of Ivory should have nothing missing now..."

"This is indeed the case at the moment, but I don’t want to focus on the present. War is a very expensive thing. Although you can use plunder to support war, but if you want to consider the image, Try to avoid the big mention of civil commotion and quickly bring the enemy's territory into rule. The amount of money spent is staggering. At present, our financial situation is not enough to make people look forward to it!"

"So... you want to come to me for money after you plan to come to the throne and be brutal?"

"The prerequisite is if you can afford it. Even if you are known as the richest man in the mainland, it is very difficult to independently support all the expenses of this war. I do not intend to just ask you unilaterally, but I hope to trade as a partner on an equal footing."

"Transaction?"

Bai Wuji was really surprised. Although he was saying that he would re-evaluate the brother-in-law, he always surprised himself. With the bargaining chips in his hand, what qualifications does he have to trade with himself? And he will take the initiative to make such a request, and his ambition is not small!

"When I was a robber, it was always weird. Why is the declining Bai family so rich? The answer I got back then was that you got rich by operating ocean shipping. I still don’t understand why ocean shipping is so profitable. What are you transporting?"

Sighed, Lancelot said: "I didn't understand until recently. As expected, businessmen have no conscience.

With the power of the Bai family in Reins, no matter what comes in, the national law cannot control you. Any prohibited things can be smuggled openly in large numbers, and it is difficult not to make a fortune. As for all the industries that belong to the family, I am afraid that there is no tax at all! Of course, in the name of dedication, you skip the treasury and pay it directly to the queen. Everyone is happy, and there will naturally be priests preaching the concept of peace and happiness. "

"As for the things you bring in from overseas, a large part of it is narcotics! I should have thought of such a profitable business, how could it be possible that no one of the seven major gates did it? Take the Bai family The financial power, when the number one drug lord on the mainland, turned out to be a big issue, I think there is no need to import this kind of stuff from other continents. If the memory in my mind is correct, the most sought-after anesthetics and raw materials It’s the plants of the Demon Realm planted on the island of Corca, West Sicily, as well as the body fluids extracted from the monsters! Let’s think about it, the next time the goods will come in... the 9th of next month!"

Listening to what Lancelow said, Bai Wuji was expressionless. Since this man had his brother's memory information in his mind, he would know that it is not surprising. What really worries him is how much he knows?

"The news is not wrong, and if you, the new emperor, don't want to arrest me and settle tax evasion by the way..." Bai Wuji nodded, with a clear expression in his eyes, "You...

You want to invest in a business, right? "

"Yes, that’s what happened. After I became the throne, all business in the Bai family will remain the same. I will guarantee you in all aspects. After going out of the North Gate and gradually occupying the territory of El Tienor, The country cooperates with the white family to start various economic reconstruction projects, and you can account for 40% of the benefits, but I can also help you sweep out competitors and monopolize the entire black market network. Is this kind of business satisfied with the white family?"

"It can't be said that there is no temptation, but the Bai family alone wants to monopolize the dark market of half a continent, hey...what a big ambition."

"What's the matter? I also want to ask if you are satisfied by swallowing half a continent? Father-in-law's goal is the whole world!"

"Okay, let's do it, try to create a darker world than when the demons ruled. Anyway, I am a bit disgusted with the current situation on the mainland. It is good to do as you say. But before cooperating I have a question. In the past few years, Japan, the country of Japan, to the northeast of Reins, seems to have secretly joined forces with Eltinus. It wants to block Reins from the east and the west and gradually suppress them. Our Bai family’s ships have something with them There have been several small and medium-sized naval battles, and each has won and lost without using the Taikoo magical weapons. However, if this continues for a long time, it will be very detrimental to our business. You must settle down before you fight outside. I hope that you will go to the north gate. Before closing, fix this problem."

"Overseas island countries..."

Lancelow felt ironic when he heard Bai Wuji's request. Although it was to please Eltinus, the island country launched a naval battle in the name of anti-smuggling and anti-narcotics. This is no more legitimate reason. Now, I have to stand on the same side with the big villain on the opposite side. To deal with those who have righteous status, compared with the ideal before going down the mountain, this is really... ridiculous!

"Understood, since those widows are blocking their heads, let's destroy their country, but I also have a request. At present, we have insufficient manpower, and Xiaocao is so busy all day to stare at Venus. , I hope you can go out in person, serve in my court, and jointly manage Reins’ government affairs."

Bai Wuji pondered over this request. Talking about Reins. Thielen’s understanding of all aspects, the control of his contacts, and the degree of obedience to orders, except for himself, does not think of a second person. However, if he comes to the table like this, he is too arrogant at all. Should he agree?

"Don't worry too much. On the surface, I will give you a small official position and assist me as an assistant with Xiaocao. You handle all the government affairs secretly, so that it won't be too conspicuous, how about it?

If you don't come, our plan will be difficult to unfold! "

The conditions are fair, and at the end of the negotiation, Bai Wuji couldn't find any reason to refute, and nodded, even if he agreed. Lancelow was very excited to be able to achieve this result. Before, he offered such a bunch of preferential terms to invite his brother-in-law to go out. I heard the righteous brother Dongfang Xuanlong said before that the second brother-in-law’s financial skills are not only He is outstanding, he is already a real genius, no matter where he is, he can quickly get money with money. When he uses the country as a prop, he should be able to collect a lot of money very quickly.

"Then...I'll leave." Lancelow stood up, put out the two candles dangling above his head, smiled and said: "I have one thing to ask you. You and I know very well... that person It’s not that easy to die. Xiaocao wants to see him and hopes you can help. A brother-sister meeting is a normal request, would you not refuse it?"

Bai Wuji didn't give a clear answer, but from his attitude, he didn't object, just as Lancelow stepped up the steps, and when he was about to leave, he asked a question in a low voice.

"Did you come to me today just for this? If it is to talk about cooperation, your attitude at the beginning makes me extremely disapproved."

It's not just that I don't appreciate it, especially when I think of the inexplicable two punches that almost interrupted the bridge of my nose. This is more than a friendly attitude of greeting.

"But whether you like it or not, we still reached an agreement in the end. It can be seen that the key to cooperation is strength, not attitude!"

In an extremely arrogant tone, Bai Wuji couldn't help but become angry. He slapped the table and stood up. Lancelow, who was about to push the door out, suddenly turned around, his expression gloomy.

"By the way, I just thought that if you were referring to the first two punches, there is a reason. Those two punches are to warn you that you should not use your brains on other people's wives in the future."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, the atmosphere between each other immediately became tense, due to a reason that only everyone knows. This pair of partners who have just negotiated the terms of cooperation looks like a pair about to fight to the death. Right.

"The memory inherited from the brother-in-law Bai Qi is only a fragment, but there are still a lot of things. Through these, I know a little bit about your affairs. Hmph, although some are not as good as no I know the shit, but now that I know it, if I don’t deal with it, then I won’t be a man, so..."

The eyes were cold, and the strong murderous aura suddenly emanating from his body made it clear that Lancelot was definitely not joking, and after pulling his hair, he said solemnly: "Even if our cooperation will break down immediately It doesn’t matter. If you have any wrong thoughts about my uncle’s woman, I promise to appear in front of you immediately and tear your head off by myself!"

When did the door close? Bai Wuji couldn't answer, he couldn't recover from the chilling murderous aura for a long time, and only when he calmed down again did he slowly make a glass of light wine for himself.

(Hey, brother, you really picked the most troublesome heir...)

"It's not righteous! It's too righteous! You bitches, big and small, are really too righteous. Knowing you bitches, I've fallen for eight years. It's been decided. From now on, we will leave Open the system!"

"Who is a bitch? You are a little brother, how can you talk to your big sister like this? It's too unruly!"

"Big sister? Did you see the eldest sister who took the initiative to flee when the little brother was trapped? You are also worthy of being the eldest sister like this?"

"Don’t I count? If it wasn’t for you that caused me to give Huiguang the money around me, how could I be so miserable in Jixia a while ago? It just happens that the Taiyan Institute is short of funds, if you want to get out of the relationship , Just spit out all the money we used to make...Huh? Sister Hua, why did you start drifting back again?"

"Isn’t someone trying to get out of our relationship with us? Then what are we doing here? I don’t need to see if I’m sick. Let this stranger who has nothing to do with us play a game of death in the middle of the road alone. ."

"Wow!! No! I'm just joking, don't you two women have such a sense of humor!"

The weakness lies in the opponent's hands, and Hante can't find a chance to save his face. He has to bow his head before the demon-like righteous sisters.

After finally getting rid of the chasing of the people in Jixia, Han Te, who sighed to the extreme, met with Ai Ling and Hua Bianque again, and the three picked a teahouse package. After clearing away the miscellaneous people, Hua The genius doctor took the pulse for Han Te, healed his injuries, and then prescribed a prescription so that his injury could heal as soon as possible.

After the diagnosis and treatment, the three of them talked and talked and talked and talked with each other. This is the first time the three of them have gathered together since the separation of Arambatte Mountain to talk about their recent developments. The lives of Hante and Hua Bianque have hardly changed. A bonus hunter and a working witch are doing harm to the world in their respective fields. During the Mai-Stone War, Hante was employed by the Medici family as a mercenary and repeatedly dealt severe blows to the Shi family cadres; Hua Bianque lived in seclusion and devoted himself to studying the Huang Tai Chi Codex gifted by Ai Ling, occasionally quietly Go to the outside world, the results of experimental research.

Although both of them are satisfied with their lives, from a secular point of view, perhaps the two are eliminated together and they will be happier for the people around them.

Illing probably talked about his situation these days. It’s just a summary, because since I met my senior brother Lancelot, countless incidents have struck like turbulent waves in a short period of time. The degree of thrilling is even more than the sum of the past ten years, even for Ai Ling. I can't grasp the ins and outs of everything clearly.

"Yeah, I really didn't expect that so many things happened?" Hante hugged his hands and nodded and said: "I thought you had been studying in Jixia, and you ran away long ago when the army was besieging the city. Yeah!"

"Oh? Really? This is just your wishful thinking. You want to find an excuse for yourself?" Exposing Hante's mentality, Hua Bianque shook his head and said: "The battle of heaven has always spread far and wide. , If you take this opportunity to kill someone in the city, you will no longer have the pressure to pay off debts. Do you dare to say that you have never thought about this idea?"

"No, I... I... hag, don't fall into trouble over there!" Hante shook his hand and hurriedly explained his innocence, and opposite him, Airing stood up with a tense expression. , His hand was still straight to his waist, as if he was about to take out some Primordial Demon Dao weapon to start the fight.

"Please, everyone have more confidence in me, okay? Although I love money, I will not disregard my conscience, let alone hurt my own people for money. Are the three of us our own people? Our own people!"

Hua Bianque spoke coldly, and Hante really took a lot of effort to exonerate himself.

No matter how you look at it, he has to maintain a good relationship with these two people, especially the big sister Ailing. Although he is unwilling to call it, he can start from her and sell the ancient magic way. When the equipment goes out to get huge profits, she must be held high in her hands no matter what.

When asked about each other's future plans, all three have their own answers.

Ailing must stay at the Taiyan Institute. After Bai Junze resigned and went home to plant flowers, the power of the Taiyan Institute fell into her hands. Although she was a little obstructed in practical work, Xiaocao quickly recommended a veteran of the Taiyan Institute with rich experience in practical work to assist. After the appointment and confirmation of Ai Ling, the overall work has been on track. As for the appointment of the dean of the Taiyan Institute of Ailing himself, Lancelot intends to formally announce it at his ascension ceremony to show his attention, but before that, an order from the Patriarch of the Bai family will arrive first and give this new institute. Long substantive status.

Hunt hasn't decided yet. After the war regained his freedom, Reings had no profit. No matter what he thought, it would be better to return to the free city. However, without such a large-scale war, the free city does not have any high-quality jobs. Where can I find a high salary that I am satisfied with is a troublesome question.

"Sister Hua, how about you? It's rare to come to Jixia, let me do my best as a landlord, and entertain you for a while in the Taiyan Academy!" He has already regarded himself as a Reins, and Ai Ling is very I eagerly want to entertain my righteous sister.

"As a magister, living in a place with a lot of ancient magic road machinery, it is too embarrassing. I am not interested in this kind of thing, but I will stay in Jixia for a while..."

Hua Bianque said lightly, and in his calm tone, there was something that the two at the same table did not understand.

The reason why I came to Jixia was because I lost the bet. Unexpectedly, that stupid woman was willing to do so, so she was rarely dumbfounded, so she had to follow her to Jixia with conviction, and what was even more wrong was that she actually abducted a ticket from Daxue Mountain with a lot of school siblings. Walking with her, he also became an accomplice. If he stayed under the grass and didn't leave, I am afraid that he would meet with Dean Yanzheng soon.

But at the moment, I can't go. The ostensible reason was that he was hired by the Reins family to assist in the diagnosis and treatment of the wounded, but in reality, it was for the commission of remuneration.

Through the Sorcerer's Guild, I knew that the woman who claimed to be Cang Yuecao was the legendary Great Sorcerer Mei Lin. Green’s disciple, the current chairman of the Sorcerer Guild, has accepted her entrustment, and he took on the troublesome job of training the Snowman. Although the Snowman is still difficult to teach, he should have arrived at Jixia. Meet the client, especially, she seems to have something to discuss with herself...

With different thoughts, the conversation of the three people ended in a harmonious atmosphere, but at the very end, a sentence Hante said made Airing feel a little uneasy.

"Sister, say so...you are going to work with that monkey in the future, right? Be careful, the speech he gave when the civil war was announced that day gave me a feeling that you must be careful of this one. Mutant monkeys, otherwise they will die unclearly at any time."

It is only a few days before March, but Tianguan, the northern gate located at the westernmost end of the Reins Territory, is still shrouded in a silvery white world of snowflakes all over the land at this moment.

The cold wind is blowing in waves. The piercing and squeaking sound caused by the gust of wind blowing over the narrow mountain walls on both sides is unpleasant. If it is at night, this kind of windy screaming sound is unpleasant. , And even make people feel cold from the bone.

The sights are similar. All the leaves had fallen to the ground as early as a few months ago. Looking ahead, they were all withered branches, like the shriveled palms of old people, swaying back and forth in the cold wind, adding to the desolate atmosphere.

What the nose smells is an indescribable odor. In fact, in such low temperature, most people’s sense of smell can no longer function normally, and the entire nose is frozen, so you have to wear a thick The palm of the leather glove does not rub against the nose tip, invigorating the blood and generating heat, so as not to accidentally fall off the nose that is so cold and loses sense of smell.

Withered branches, snow, cold wind, such a depressed scene, in the eyes of the soldiers who defended the city, it is really uncomfortable to be in the world, especially when you think that someone can hide in the fire in the rear. Warming and drinking by the side, these soldiers at the forefront are particularly unbalanced.

But that's all the same. Since the new owner of Beimen Tianguan, the quality of the soldiers stationed here has also been improved. The famous five-color flag on West Corca Island, if the opponent is limited to humans, then they can be regarded as the first strong soldiers on the mainland today. For them who have been training on Alcatraz for many years, this level The snow and ice is nothing at all.

Affected by the strong magical energy, coupled with the inherent instability of the magnetic field, the climate of West Corca Island is as varied as a free city. Especially when the war breaks out, the weather will be directly affected by the intense impact of various energy and magnetic fields. , Often in the middle of the war, the temperature suddenly dropped sharply on the originally sunny sunny day, and after only a dozen breaths, a blizzard had already blown in the sky, and the strong wind and snow almost invisible to the five-color flag made the soldiers scream. Fortunately, because the most unlucky situation in the record was a sudden thunderbolt in the sky, blasting the ground indiscriminately. The five-color flag who witnessed this scene at that time lost a thousand people in a short period of time.

For this reason, although the wind and snow at Beimen Tianguan were strong in winter, the members of the Five Color Flags were not at all surprised. They continued to train the recruits from Jixia and the prisoners in the cold wind. The Hua family descended to death.

"If it were in the past, these pawns should have been demoted to slaves and sold everywhere in the country.

But now that there is a shortage of manpower, we have to take them into our side, hoping to be useful soon. "

I felt impatient for training these hard-to-reach tools. Bai Qianlang, who is currently helping with Wuseqi's affairs as a deputy, complained to Gengoro in this way.

It's ridiculous to say, but the current Beimen Tianguan is in a state of chaos where the second person is unknown.

Before this, all the affairs of Beimen Tianguan were taken care of by Gengoro himself, and everyone also obeyed his outstanding coach. Although Gengoro always regarded himself as Nier’s mentor, he included Nier. Everyone regards him as the chief adjudicator, because Nier herself is not enough to command a group of this size in terms of qualifications, temperament and ability.

But this situation was broken under Bai Qi's order. Before leaving that day, Bai Qi had transferred the commanding authority to Nier for the orders under the five colors. Therefore, all Gengoro orders must be approved by Nier before they can be issued, although he himself is very satisfied with this change. , But looking at the five-color flag generals and soldiers headed by Bai Qianlang, I always feel that this is a very inefficient approach, but in order to obey the orders of the supreme leader, no one dares to have an opinion.

"No way, I am an annoying bad person, and your highest leader should not trust me. Miss Nier is a person who does not act and thinks out of the right track. Let her be the leader. No matter how bad it is, it is limited."

Gengoro explained this with a smile, and was content with such a situation. For him, he had already passed the stage of fighting for power and gains. The reason why he is willing to work hard here is only to help Nier. The arrangement is best.

Moreover, generally speaking, a person who is the highest leader does not necessarily need a good mind and skill, but needs the ability to integrate the entire group. If it is a small organization like the Forty Thieves that has mediocre members and needs strong support from leaders, then being a leader does require outstanding abilities.

However, when the scale of the organization becomes a national level, and its members have very good abilities, the leaders do not have to show their abilities in this way, and sometimes they even want to avoid being too aggressive.

Compared with showing one's own ability, knowing people's talents, making good use of talents' ability, how to properly distribute the work and interests in the organization, avoiding group divisions, become the most important task of leaders. Some leaders convinced their subordinates by demonstrating their outstanding abilities; but there are also many examples of getting support from their subordinates by their affinity.

Nier is closer to the latter. Even though Wu Seqi is quite critical of her single-line thinking and lack of calm working style, she still gets along well with her and loves her hearty personality. This is something Gengoro can’t do, so by It is an ideal thing for him to rule the North Gate Tianguan together with Nier.
