March, 568, Reins, Beimen Tianguan

If you change the scene, it might be a completely different scene. In the guesthouse of Bailudong, Lancelot, wearing a ceremonial robe, spoke respectfully to his uncle Lu You, who would also treat his nephew with a smile as an elder with the etiquette he should have.

However, due to the difference in the positions of the two sides, even though they met for the first time, they already had grievances with each other, and because of these grievances, they immediately fell into a state of confrontation.

Since the meeting, Lu You hated the man in front of him. Not only did he put on a high posture, but he also exuded a kind of aura, which made Lu You feel extremely unhappy.

This kind of momentum seems familiar. It was on the cliffs and lonely peaks in the Great Battle of Kyushu two thousand years ago. The peerless overlord who was able to suppress the masters on the scene with the power of one person exudes such a momentum, but with Compared to him, Lancelot felt more domineering, stimulating Luyou's senses and reminding him of the shame of the day.

Faced with Lancelow’s arrogant attitude, Lu You faintly counterattacked, even more pungent, but Lancelow seemed to not feel the irony inside, shrugged slightly, and lowered his position to be equal to his uncle. He handed his hands over and said: "If the uncle has already enjoyed himself, I will forgive my nephew for not giving it away. The trouble is happening here now. It takes a lot of work to clean up, which is really tiring."

Without the invitation to fight, Lancelot seemed to have ordered the eviction, but his attitude was not unacceptable. It was not in line with his previous arrogant attitude, and it also surprised Lu You. If he understood this person according to his original understanding , Coupled with his arrogance when he appeared, he should have done something with himself immediately, but...

Lu You denied that the other party was planning to play some tricks and wait for the possibility of a sneak attack. Maybe not every disciple inherited the master’s style, but the man in front of him undoubtedly has the same aura as his righteous brother Huang Taiji. Such a person would not do something that would humiliate his personality when it was unnecessary. Thing.

"It really surprised me. It seems that you are different from what I heard before." Lu You said calmly: "I'm fighting with Shiro Amakusa, don't you want to take the opportunity to attack the enemy? Weakness, this is the right way of military science."

"Ha, Uncle Sword Master, you are not the only one who will surprise you." Lancelot said, "After you fight with Amakusa Shiro, continue to fight you with wheels. This is indeed a big temptation, but I don’t want to do this kind of odds of winning. If I really want to fight you, I will choose a time when your physical strength is weaker. I will start with my sister, brother, and all the men. For now, I’m here. There are too few people on the side..."

Expressed his thoughts frankly, but let the other party feel free to take advantage of it. Lu You looked at Lancelow thoughtfully. There was another person he couldn't see, floating there.

None of them had any intention to shake hands with each other. Since they didn’t plan to go to war, then there is nothing to say here. The fierce battle between Lu You and Amakusa really hurt him. After confirming that there is no need to fight, the whole figure It turned into a rainbow of light, and flew straight to Eltinus.

"Hey, Bailudong martial arts, it seems that there are some avenues, and he may not be able to beat him now. These two old guys are really energetic, the North Gate Tianguan is now razed to the ground, Bailudong doesn’t know. Will you compensate for the construction cost? But...

Alright, at least someone has benefited from it. "

Lancelow, who was talking to himself, turned his head and said to the back, "Isn’t it? The third child, you should thank me somehow. If I didn’t make a move just now, you would be responsible for receiving the impact. Come, what you have been trying to hide, isn’t it about to be revealed? I’m very loyal to do this."

Gengoro didn’t answer, but looked at the grinning brother in front of him intently, exhausting all his Tianxin consciousness to investigate and estimate, to see how much improvement he had gained after the fierce Reins civil war. . Unexpectedly, Gengoro's expression turned cautious, because he was not only not sure how much Lancelow had progressed, but he couldn't even equate him with the person he knew in the past.

"Have you...have been here since the beginning?"

"Such an obvious thing, do you need to ask more? I can't say it at first, but it's probably one step later than Amakusa."

Lancelow smiled and patted Gengoro on the shoulder, and said, "It’s too ugly to be made into this embarrassed look by that lizard girl. You are different from me. There is no one who is immortal. Don’t just be casual. Make a joke about your body."

Confirming the conjecture in my heart, Gengoro didn't feel better. If it was the former Lancelot, he had always rushed ahead of everyone and fought hard; not to mention that the big enemies, Ziyu and Amakusa Shiro, appeared in a connection, and he had no reason to stand aside.

But these things have happened now, and the seriously injured Amakusa Shiro left, a look of Lancelot who didn't care about his appearance, giving Gengoro a weird and inexplicable feeling.

"Don't think too much, after returning to Jixia, I will answer your doubts. What should be answered at that time, just wait for that time."

Without giving Gengoro a chance to ask further, Lancelot had already floated away, and disappeared to the other end of the sky in a few moments.

The question that Gengoro suspected also appeared in Nier's heart. When she was slowly moving under the **** of the entire army, she suddenly thought in her heart that the brother would appear so coincidentally, would he have come early? Near the battlefield, watching everything?

Even if Nier cares about her elder brother in her heart, she can't calm down when she realizes this possibility. However, Lancelow also didn't give her the opportunity to ask questions. After landing and confirming that her sister's injury was OK, He touched his sister's hair and smiled and said, "Heal the injury sooner. I won't hold the enthronement ceremony before you and the youngest come back."

Without waiting for Nier's response, Lancelow went away again and asked Nier to swallow the words filled with her belly, but the confusion in her heart increased unabated.

Under such circumstances, the battle known as the "First Battle of the North Gate Tianguan" came to an end. Whether it was Eltinus or Reins, they were greatly traumatized. Compared with Ince, the participants on the side of Eltinus can almost use the term "annihilation" to summarize everything.

Ninety-nine percent of the soldiers of the Hua family who participated in the battle were killed in the evil magic circle. As for the rest of the Bailudong troop and the Shijia Jingangtang orc team, all died, even the corpses. Can't find it. As for the masters participating in the war, apart from Hao Kelian's retreat, Hua was mutilated and died in battle. Ziyu's whereabouts are unknown, which is a very serious loss to Bailudong. The Hua Tianxie who caused this situation fled without a trace with Shi Chong, and his whereabouts were unknown for a while.

For Reins, the number of casualties was less than 3,000, which may fully explain the strength and knowledge of the five-color flag.

In terms of hardware, the entire Beimen Tianguan was moved to a flat ground, and the hard work in the past few months was all in vain. It would take a lot of time and money to rebuild. However, Eltinore wanted to revive the offensive. It is certainly not possible within a few months.

Nier and Gengoro suffered from serious injuries in the battle. To be able to act formally, they had to rest for a few days. The order they received was to keep the army here and prepare to rebuild the North Gate Tianguan. All affairs will be temporarily replaced by Bai Qianlang's deputy commander. As the commander, they will rush back to Jixia immediately after they can act. The enthronement ceremony held.

Even without Lancelot's order, Nier and Gengoro rushed back to Ji, and asked their doubts over there, but they were unable to make a trip until Gengoro's injury stabilized. For this reason , Ni'er, who has always been grumpy, was displeased by the boss in her heart. She just suppressed it with her own reason and didn't attack others.

Since this question has no solution for a while, taking advantage of Gengoro's chance to recover from his injuries, Ni'er also asked him about some of his confusion about this battle.

"I didn't expect that old man Lu would suddenly appear, let alone that he was actually more powerful than the legend." Compared with other discoveries, this fact made Nier most frustrated. "Amakusa was defeated in this way, and was then driven overseas?"

"No...I don't think so. Everyone has always misunderstood that Amakusa was defeated by Lu You, driven out of the mainland, and lived abroad for a long time." Gengoro said: "In fact, Shiro Amakusa was originally an overseas Japanese islander, not a mainland Chinese. People, he came across the sea when he was a teenager and studied art in Jerusalem as a teacher. After the Kyushu War, there is no one worthy of nostalgia for the Continent of Wind. Even if no one rushes, he will return to his hometown."

"That's it? Then he and Lu Lao'er had a battle..."

"Didn’t you hear it yourself? Lu You himself admitted that in the original battle, the two did not decide the victory or defeat, but fought hard together until they were exhausted, punching each other. Originally after that battle Shiro Amakusa was about to return to Japan, so after the battle was over, he made a ruthless statement, unless Lu You greeted him with the most solemn etiquette in Bailudong, otherwise he would never walk the wind continent."

Gengoro shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At the time, the most solemn etiquette in Bailu Cave was to fire a salute called Qingtian fireworks. After Lu You returned, he immediately ordered the destruction of all the Qingtian fireworks, and the technicians were not allowed to remake them. The grand salute of Ludong will never reappear."

"This...Should I say that Old Man Lu is despicable? However, it feels like something is not quite right." Nier said, "Why is Amakusa so mind-blowing? He just destroyed the blue sky fireworks. It’s too stupid to stay in Japan and never come back to the Land of Wind."

"Amakusa didn’t have too many requirements for other material desires except for the martial arts competition. He no longer returned to the Continent of Wind. It was just that he didn’t want to come back. It’s ridiculous that Hua Tianxie thought he had done a great job. Waki Amakusa helped him with things. He was really a guy who couldn't figure out the reality."

Gengoro sighed: "In fact, among the many masters of the old generation, Amakusa and Lu You used to be friends, and they were very congenial friends. After Amakusa regained his footing on the land of the wind, he did not immediately kill Bailu Cave. , Most of them were worried about the feelings of old friends; therefore, Lu You refused to immediately start a war against Amakusa, and both of them..."

"I don't understand." Nier asked, "If they are really good friends, why do they fight again? Can't you just talk and tell the matter? You see what they looked like just now, Amakusa It was just to find a reason to start the war, and then the fight started."

"Because of the grievances between the two of them, there are so many that Shiro Amakusa would rather cross the sea to return to the country than live with this friend on the same land..." At this point, Gengoro Suddenly his face became very solemn, and he smiled bitterly and whispered: "It's just...I am not qualified to say such things as shameless."

"What nonsense, Xiaowu, you don't have to worry about this." Seeing the abnormal expression of the man next to him, Ni'er gave encouragement in a timely manner. She slammed Gengoro quickly with her elbow, and smiled: "Don't think of yourself as a bad person. You are not a hypocrite like Old Man Lu, who speaks hypocritically righteously. I believe you, just like you. People who do not do anything bad."

Gengoro laughed dumbly at Nier's almost unreasonable blindness.

"No... Actually, Lu You didn’t do anything bad. It’s not appropriate to describe him as a hypocrite. It’s just that he insists on certain beliefs and is willing to sacrifice everything for these beliefs, which has caused a lot of Unfortunately, but if you ask him, he will never think that he is wrong. In fact, it is hard to tell whether he is really wrong..."

There is a heavy emotion in Gengoro's voice, which Nier doesn't like, because this is not Gengoro who she knows well.

"By the way, why did Lu You suddenly appear at Beimen Tianguan and stand in support of us?"

"Probably it was entrusted by someone." Gengoro said: "Ignoring his position with Bailudong, if he did so, Bailudong's situation in Eltinau would be extremely embarrassing. For him I am also quite disadvantaged...really, I am doing this now, do you want to prove something?"

"What are you talking about that makes people incomprehensible?" Nier said: "Who do you mean by that person? Tell me, OK?"

"This...it's a secret." Gengoro laughed and said, "Miss Nier is still young and knows so many past years. It is not good for you. When you should know, you will I know."

"Damn it, pretending to be mysterious, what's so great."

Knowing that Gengoro would not let go, Nier hit him on the left with an elbow. In such a laughable atmosphere, an unspeakable worry quietly hit their hearts.

The time spent in Jixia was not long, but the atmosphere there already gave them a sense of hometown. When they were guarding the Tianguan Pass at the North Gate, they always wanted to find a chance to go back to Jixia and rest for a while. Now this The vacation has finally arrived, but what will be waiting for them in Jixia? Unlike Nier and Gengoro, there is a person who does not have to think about his future at all. For him, as long as he can fully enjoy the present moment, that is enough.

"There is snow, fourth...I am so touched to see you."

"Boss Lancelow, I am the same. I thought I would never see you again in this life."

In the bar, two righteous brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time hugged each other tightly and almost shed tears of parting. This scene made the atmosphere extremely high, and everyone cheered and celebrated.

Previously, Lancelot quietly left Jixia and rushed to the North Gate Tianguan alone for assistance. He didn’t tell anyone about it, and he didn’t make a loud noise when he came back, so everyone didn’t know it, and no one was seen for many days. His Royal Highness rushed to the Beimen Tianguan battlefield.

Lancelow didn’t explain much about it either. For him, it’s good to show the limelight properly, but he should also let someone else play a certain part of the scene. A one-man show that robs all the splendor by himself is not A good strategy to control national politics.

After returning to Jixia, before returning to Ivory White Tower to talk to his wife, he rushed to the hotel street, found Yuxue, and had a drink first. To this righteous brother who helped him a lot, he consciously had the obligation to repay him, thanking him for always supporting himself.

On the other hand, I also need such an image. The eldest brother-in-law Bai Qi is undoubtedly wise and extremely wise, and it is considered a complete solution, but a person’s personality is doomed to his destiny. Even if he knows that it is better to do so, he will be restricted by his personality, which makes him disdain to do it, resulting in limited achievements. . I inherited his wisdom, but there is no need to learn the dead temper.

While entertaining, try to go crazy as much as possible to give people the impression of being familiar. People often like such a ruler, otherwise the stories in the bard population will not be all the anecdotes of some great monarchs on their tours. thing. Even the leisure life has to take into account the shaping of the image, it is really annoying to think about it, but if this can help your ruling work go smoothly, then this is the duty of the ruler, and you can only do it with a sigh.

"Boss, you don't know how hard I was tortured by that hag. She and she are really inhuman. During that time..."

Youxue recounted the days when she went astray. At the door of Hua Bianque, it is simply better to live than to die. Although the other party will never hide his personal information, all notes and experience and the process of training are allowed to be watched, but he will not take the initiative to teach anything. Everything is up to you. View self-study, daily assessment.

Hua Bianque’s test, of course, will not release water. Once she fails the test, the punishment she uses, some monsters that will not harm the body but strongly stimulate the sense of touch, or itching or pain, can make a sturdy shape. The big man was crying on the ground as his father and mother, let alone the Snowman who was already weak-willed.

These are okay. The problem that Yuxue fears most is to go out to collect experimental samples as a disciple of the ghost doctor, or to help the author with some unknown ethical biological experiments. Under the guise of free consultations, blood samples of patients are taken, or some newly formulated test drugs are used as vaccines for prevention and treatment and injected into patients.

Once the East Window incident happened, angry villagers chased after him. Hua Bian Que flew away from the sky as soon as he was lucky, so that the bitter lord could not catch up, but if there is snow, it is hard work. People sprint slowly. As long as the villagers catch up with it, it will immediately be a heavy beating with a pole and a wooden stick. If Hua Bianque hadn't turned around to rescue him, he would have been beaten to death.

Anyway, the master is a doctor, and there are so many medicines in the residence. After I go back, I will apply the medicine by myself. You have to be careful not to take the wrong medicine jar. Otherwise, you will see the blood seal your throat and die faster than anything.

However, Hua Bianque does not come back every time to help. Most of the time, he still has to rely on the snowman’s home-made fire and smoke bombs to escape the danger. Slowly, Hua Bianque threw some secrets of the light work of the big snow mountain, forcing snow forging, and in order to save his life, he really spent his nights and nights practicing hard.

"Boss, you absolutely can't think of how hard I was back then. As long as I take a step slowly, I will be broken my head by some scythe and stick immediately. It's so scary..."

"Well, if it's the stinky witch I know, I can understand what happened to you."

"Sometimes I even often feel that every day I wander between life and death like that. Sooner or later, I will enter the sky like you guys and become a **** super snowman..."

Youxue naturally tried to sneak away, but under the monitoring of Hua Bianque’s black magic, there was no way to escape. As for the plea, Hua Bianque said faintly, "When I was six years old, the same was true. Life, I can survive, you have no reason not to", interrupted You Xue's crying.

Under such circumstances, it is either life or death, and it is difficult to make progress without snow. Although the time is too short to learn Master’s profound knowledge in black magic, the light work has made great progress. The use of poison is even more knowledgeable. If you use this kind of cultivation to go through the rivers and lakes, although you can't dominate one party, you can be an outstanding flower-picking thief.

"I used to try to practice light gong because I wanted to be a thief, but I didn't expect that it was because I wanted to save my life, so I got the light gong. Boss, I really am..."

"Enough, don't talk about it."

Lancelow patted Yuxue's shoulder heavily, as if moved, and sighed as if he was about to burst into tears.

"It is my fault that put you in such a danger. I am so sorry to you. In order to compensate you heavily, I decided to..."

"This is really great. Since you said the same as the boss, please give me one hundred and eighty thousand gold coins to compensate for my physical and mental damage..."

"No, mere money, how can we express the morality between our brothers?" Lancelow smiled: "I decided to share my glory and wealth with you."

Looking at Brother Yi's smile, You Xue suddenly shuddered. Lancelow's promise should definitely not be a problem, but this smile did not know why, and reminded him of Gengoro, who had been beautiful temptation to himself countless times in the past, and then let himself fall into the bottomless abyss.

Lancelow’s promise was expressed in actual conditions, which happened the next morning. The official documents from the highest authority in Reins were first published in the headlines of major newspapers before they were communicated to the administrative units. As for the two parties who received the order, it was almost impossible to express their shock in words.

"Left, Left, Left Grand Prime Minister?" The Snowman, who had not awakened from a hangover, fell from his little bed in fright. He couldn't believe that he was banned. This is second only to the administrative system. The emperor is an important post under one person and over ten thousand people.

The same situation also appeared to another person in Jixia City. At that time, he was sleeping soundly with three beautiful singers with different hair colors and skin colors. After hearing the news, the whole People's sleepiness disappeared, and even the plan to sleep longer was forced to cancel.

"Take. Conceal. Fruit. Grie?" So shocked that he even blurted out in a foreign language, Bai Wuji glared at the piece of information he had just received, and 90% of his surprise and 10% of his anger came out at the same time.

"The prime minister on the right? What kind of official position is this? How does that monkey think about the definition of size? If there is a problem in the brain, it's okay. What's the matter? I want me to be under the hands of that snowman. What is he thinking about?"

Contrary to the original appointment of a small official position, Lancelow gave this second brother-in-law, who had promised to assist in political affairs, a high-ranking official of the right prime minister. As far as the administrative system is concerned, the emperor sets up the prime minister as his deputy. The left is higher than the right. With Bai Wuji’s talents and political resources, it’s not surprising that the prime minister is appointed, but it’s not a matter of letting a snowman hold an important position. But Reins has never seen it in history, and it is simply an unheard of in the open-wind continent.

"Youxue is my righteous brother. In terms of identity, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor. How can he be a humble person? When I was in danger, he had saved my life many times regardless of himself, in order to To reward this kindness, in order to commend him for his bravery, I think there is nothing wrong with letting him hold such a position."

Because the emperor has always attached importance to the image of morality, this personnel order seems normal, but this reason is not enough to convince everyone, especially the bureaucracy of Reins, how can it be possible to accept the fact that the Snowman is the prime minister?

On this point, Lancelow certainly has an explanation.

In the lobby of the Royal Library, His Royal Highness, dressed in casual clothes and holding a scroll in his hand, met with representatives of all parties.

"The current Reins is at the critical moment of seeking newness and change. After so many things, are you still stuck on racial differences?"

In contrast to the previous situation, racial discrimination is now the most taboo topic of Reins. Once it is put on this big hat, it will be equated with the great evil, and everyone will avoid it for fear.

"No, your majesty, we can understand what you mean, but even if meritocracy is to get rid of the bad habits of racial discrimination, but that snowman's talent..."

Putting down the book in his hand, Lancelow laughed and said: "I don’t study much, but I just read a story about buying a horse bone here a few days ago. The same is true now, if even the Snowman If you can be the prime minister on the left, how can other more talented people not come? This is a good strategy for letting all the winds know about Reins’ intentions of valuing talents."

When this report was published in the form of a special topic, Lancelow's reputation increased, everyone admired the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Prince, and the turmoil of personnel appointments was calmed down. As for the person who caused all these incidents, he was a little bit aware of his wife's feelings back then, and sneered at home alone after reading all the reports.

"This is actually very problematic. If you really want to imitate the story of the horse bones, it would be wrong."

In the most advanced recuperation room of the Ivory White Tower, Xiaocao held an apple in one hand and sighed at the sister in front of him.

The story of the so-called Maxima bones refers to a minister who was ordered by the king to go out to purchase Maxima. When he finally found the Maxima, the good horse was dead and there were only a pile of dry bones, but the minister still spent money. The reason for buying back horse bones was "I know that I can still spend a lot of money on buying horse bones, but are you afraid that the real Maxima will not come?"

"If you really want to use such a strategy to seal the position of Youxue, it should be a prominent official position that is high, but not the highest, and does not have any real power. This will be regarded as a vacant position for outstanding talents, just like this. Making him the prime minister and blocking the highest official position will only make the talent wait and see."

"Well, you are right, then, do you think Lord Lancelow's thoughts are not thorough enough, so that there is such a negligence!"

"If it were before, I would definitely judge him like this, but now I dare not underestimate him like this." Xiaocao said: "He...

...I should understand this result very well, and one of the reasons for insisting on doing this is to mock the Reince people, let the snow people who had no social status be under one person and over ten thousand people. , This is a great irony for the Reins people. "

"Let Master Lancelow indulge, sitting in the position of supreme, the pressure is also very great, miss, don't you often do things that make everyone weird?" Feng'er smiled and said: "There is snow Although the adult is in a high position, I think he will not handle the actual political affairs. In the future, you will probably be tired of the second son and young lady of Wuji."

"It's really like this, that's good..." Xiaocao felt that things were not that simple. If she expected it right, you Xue, the prime minister from the left, would not ignore political affairs, but would have a series of absurd orders from him. He kept sending it out from his hand, because he was the prime minister from the left, even the second brother would not be able to oppose these orders by then, and Youxue would feel very helpless, because he didn’t even know when he signed the official documents. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ...

"Sister, you said...what should I do?"

In front of Feng'er, Xiaocao never had to hide anything, and expressed his worries unreservedly. Feeling her anxiety, Feng'er hopes to do something for her, but...

"Miss, even if I want to do something for you, but I am like this, I can't do anything!"

Feng'er said with a wry smile. In her current situation, she could only smile so bitterly. Lying on the hospital bed, her body was covered with bandages. When the injury was 80% healed, the role of these bandages became a restriction on movement, not to mention the dozens of acupuncture points in the body that were sealed by the gods, which made her unable to lift a little bit. Power can only be forced to stay in the hospital bed, put on loose white nightgowns, watch the bouquets and paintings that are changed the next day, live a quiet life of reading and listening to music every day, and enjoy the leisure time that has not been seen in a long time.

"This...I can't help it, sister, you...you just enjoy it for a while."

Xiaocao really wants to laugh, especially when she sees Feng'er's helpless expression, she really wants to run out and laugh wildly.

Seriously, Sister Feng'er was born and died for herself for many years. Even when she sang on stage, she worked hard to make money for herself. She never stopped for a while. She always wanted her to find a chance to have a good rest, but she never stopped. If you don't agree, it's a good thing like it is now, but... I really can't do it like my husband's arrogant approach.
