Reinsji Down Town, November 13th, 57th year of El Tienno calendar
In the council chamber, the Reins officials have dispersed. It can be seen that they still have a high degree of dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they are temporarily suppressed by Bai Wuji's power, and they have nothing to do.
Bai Wuji complained: "It's settled for the time being. It's really annoying to ask me to waste time here to squirt..."
"Actually, you should be able to have a better way..." Meilin looked at Bai Wuji, and said, "Well, what you want to help... is to stay together during the day!"
It's the same process. Bai Wuji should be able to use a flexible strategy to smooth the anxiety of the ministers in exchange for their support, but he has unreservedly used a tough and suppressive approach to make the ministers cooperate. It can be imagined that most of the Reins group members who are resentful in their hearts will go back to the day to seek a more reliable future. In other words, within a few days at the latest, armed conflict is inevitable. In this way, although the gate is opened, who is the actual beneficiary?
"Why, teacher, you laughed." Bai Wuji smiled: "No matter what, I can't help someone who wants to kick me down! Huh? What is this?"
Mei Lin handed over the letter in her hand and said: "She asked me to hand it over to you, the latest step of the commission."
Bai Wuji took the letter, looked at the three words "Cang Yue Cao" on the envelope, smiled slightly, and without tearing it apart, he tore the entire letter to pieces.
"You!"
"My sister's name is Liya. Diss. Lap it. Cang Yue, who is this person named Cang Yuecao? I don't know him!"
Bai Wuji smiled and said: "Help the new prince open the gate of the city. This is the last death entrusted to me by Queen Liya. It is also my last labor. If there is anything in the future, it doesn’t matter to me, like I just spit on fools today and caused me to break my appointment with beauties. I don’t want to do it a second time."
In response to Bai Wuji's words, Mei Lin smiled and said deeply: "That's it, you have already made a choice!"
Don’t explain, “Just let me live as I am now.” Bai Wuji said: “It seems that the sky is already bright. I wasted a night and my stomach is a bit hungry. Teacher, it’s not as good as the two of us. Let’s go to the Xuegong cafeteria for breakfast, how about?"
For this proposal, Mei Lin looked surprised.
"Hey! You kid, don't make fun of the old man, don't you even want to fish, right?"
"Why not? My nickname is "Wuhuawu Cai". From the eight-year-old Doukou girl to the 800-year-old old monster, all within my hunting range." Bai Wuji smiled Said: "Teacher, you have both specialties. It is simply the best of the best. The only regret is that the rivals are all monsters with strong talents. If you really compete, the casualties will be too great..."
"It's awful! Who is the 800-year-old monster? You kid is very rude to talk!"
"Ah! I am afraid I am more than 800 years old!"
For Lancelot who came to the gate of the capital city of Jixia, the mood is very complicated. Last night, I discussed with Youxue and Nier for half the night. I decided on how to enter the city by then. I also worked out more than a dozen different methods. Although I was sure I would be able to enter the city, I didn’t expect that when I came to Jixia, the king would be open. City gate.
Although there was no line to welcome, compared to the previous resolute resistance, the city's initiative to open the gate is already a goodwill gesture, and everyone has nothing to fault.
Looking up at the city gate, You Xue sighed in a long voice: "Oh! What a pity, all the tricks that I thought of last night are useless."
Gengoro's decision was undecided, and Xiaocao did not interfere. Last night's tactical discussion was only conducted by Lancelot, Nier, and Youxue. Gengoro was also curious about this matter. Did the three heads really come up with any tricks to break the city?
"According to Miss Nier's thoughts, everyone directly broke the door with the power of heaven, and even the city wall blasted most of the **** part. What else can this group of Reins do?"
"Well, that's also true..." Gengoro nodded, originally he was thinking that the strategy the three would use is mostly to break the door by force.
The buildings and roads of the Jixia King’s Capital have been specially designed to form a very powerful enchantment city as a whole, which has a certain defensive effect. However, if no one is operated, it will be attacked by two masters of heaven. Still can't bear it.
"But the boss said it was wrong. We came to Reins to be the king, to scare the people, to let them bow their heads and obey orders. This is all right, but if we do not move, we will kill and make blood flow. Even if life is worthless, but you kill everyone, this throne will be very boring." You Xue said: "So we finally came up with a bloodless siege method."
"I would like to hear the details." Lancelow would think so, it means it can be saved, but the three of them are not good at strategy, and Gengoro is really curious about how to avoid the bloodshed.
"Oh...hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhah
"Hostage?"
"That's the queen's coffin!" Youxue laughed and said, "If the city gate does not open, we will cut a thousand knives on the crystal coffin, or pee on the top, pour dog stool, or drag on Behind the horse ran around the city, making the Reins stupid pig face pale and obediently opening the city gate."
"Sure enough... it is vicious and indecent, if you do this, you will definitely be condemned by God!"
It's very much in line with the Xuete's style of doing things. Gengoro only smiles wryly, but seriously speaking, this method may be surprisingly effective! With the respect of the Reins to the Queen, they saw that the coffin was so insulted that it was more serious than sitting and watching the ancestor’s tomb. They would definitely take the initiative to open the gate of the city. However, the result may be a riot among the people in Jixia. Hundreds of thousands of people rushed out of the city gate and chopped the murderer into meat sauce.
On the other side, the grass standing next to Lancelow in a new costume, staring at the tower, also has countless emotions. This is the hometown where she grew up. There are countless memories, but it is hard to imagine that one day, with such an identity and such a mood, she will enter the royal capital.
"What are you thinking? Your expression is so strange!"
"Nothing." Xiaocao held her husband's palm and smiled and said: "In the future, this will be your city! Her prosperity and decline are all on your shoulders, please treat her well!"
"Well, I won't let you down for the person who chose me." Lancelow smiled and said, "From the lord of a city to the lord of a country, you can take a good look at your husband's Majestic!"
"Oh, I will wait and see."
Passing the city gate, entering Jixia, looking at the street scene ahead, Lancelow suddenly feels refreshed, and feels like he has come into contact with a brand new Reins. Tyron.
Not only the sight, but the impression given by Jixia is constantly transmitted by the sense of smell, hearing, touch, and even spiritual sensations beyond the senses.
In the history of Reins, King Jixia was destroyed three times due to war, and the current building is the scale left after the fourth reconstruction. In order to strengthen the defense force, the main road surrounded the main road to form a five-pointed star map with the Queen’s residence "ivory white pagoda" as the center, and various strengthening facilities were added to make the whole Jixia a magical city with a strong defense enchantment.
In the range of Jixia, all sacred enchantment and healing spells will be strengthened and can be used without any effort. On the contrary, all evil forces will be suppressed, so that the power of the invading demons will be greatly reduced, and the city defenders will be able to stand firm.
Now the war has subsided and the demons are no longer there, but the moment Lancelow stepped into the city, he could still clearly feel a sacred and refreshing wave that calmed people's minds and raised their spirits greatly.
Like Jacob and other Reins cities before, Jixia has the same neat and clean streets. The white gravel road extends straight to the end of the road, and even the drainage system beside the road seems to be in order. The open scene makes the chest full of hearty feeling.
Jixia is not a purely rigid city. Although everything is built according to specifications, the buildings are still full of their own characteristics. After thousands of years of cultural influence, the buildings in Jixia do not seek to be gorgeous, but purely expressive in simplicity. The roof tiles and window sills are red, yellow, emerald, and blue in four colors, or depict auspicious graphics or make up. Story after story is painted in series with neighbors in the neighborhood. The whole Jixia not only has a strong literary atmosphere, but even itself is a beautiful work of art.
Medici Patriarch Xu Liegu, when visiting here, once exclaimed: "Elegant and ordinary, beautiful but not compelling. It is indeed the result of thousands of years of cultural accumulation, and this is also the biggest of Jixia. Where is the artistic value." With his admiration at the time, he planned to live in the grass for a long time, but backfired, so he had to renovate the Medici Castle extensively after he returned.
In Jixia, the gardens of each house are planted with flowers and trees. It is not dense, but it is placed in the right place and integrated with the overall streetscape. There was a faint scent of lilies in the air. Yuangoro said that the palace has a special plan for King Jixia. In every area, the people are invited to cooperate and plant flowers together. Just like this area at the gate of the city, it is the famous lily area.
November is late autumn, almost winter, and the air is bleakly cool, but the climate under the grass is drier, and the green and dense trees also play a regulating effect. The sunny sun shines on the body, warm and warm. It's very comfortable.
"Heh, it's really a rare and good place!"
Lancelow has never been to the central capital city of Eltinus, but he knows that he has been deeply in love with this beautiful city from the moment he set foot on the grass.
"Fortunately, there was no fight..."
Nier walking behind Lancelow felt the same way. Fortunately, she didn't use force to break the city, otherwise it would ruin a single bit of this place, which would be a regrettable injury.
If it's normal, you will see people walking with dogs. In Reins, it is very common to have cats and dogs as pets. However, today's situation is special. In order to welcome the queen's coffin, a large number of people knelt in front of their homes, with their hands clasped, and their faces mournful, praying religiously for the departed Queen.
"Oh! What a headache!" Lancelow looked around and sighed, "Why do you have to have such a stinky face every time you die, do these boring things? Instead of holding a memorial service , It’s better to bring out the good wine and good food, everyone has a good meal, and the living and the dead have their own places, so it is better! If one day I have a funeral, everyone will organize a crazy celebration for me! "
At the back, Gengoro heard this and shook his head and said: "No one will help you with that kind of thing..."
Although these words were not spoken loudly, they were still heard by others. Especially the Reins officials who followed a little further away on both sides, they did not hear Lancelow's words clearly, but they were quite sure that there was disrespect to the queen in them, and dozens of pairs of white eyes stared at him fiercely.
Lancelow was quite annoyed, and the grass at the rear left came close and whispered: "My husband, your idea is very interesting! I feel the same too!"
"You feel the same as a ghost! You are the person involved, and the funeral is done like this, and you tell me that you feel the same!"
"Yeah...this is also a kind of comfort! I am not willing to make funerals like this."
The husband and wife talked and laughed in a low voice. After a short while, the towering and magnificent white tower of ivory was already in front of you.
Speaking of the tower, it’s actually a bit incorrect, because the entire palace is a very vast palace, and its location is also one of the spiritual indicators of the people of Reins.
The entire palace is circular, with tall white stone pillars propping up a huge arch, and writing on it in characters that Lancelow can’t understand. The long red carpet stretches straight inward, and the crystal arcades on both sides reflect the sunlight and exude magnificent colorful brilliance. It is fantastic and it does not seem to be in the world.
Reins itself is almost a ****, and of course there is a strong religious color in the rule, which is completely reflected in the design of the palace. Most of the buildings are towering and huge, standing under the door makes people feel relatively small. The simple and ordinary style creates a sacred and solemn atmosphere, especially the sound-absorbing design similar to a temple. As you gradually step into the palace, you can feel the deepest silence in your ears, as if you have stepped into a realm of gods that are not part of the world. , Getting closer and closer to the gods, the heart of awe, spontaneously.
To put it simply, the ivory white pagoda is not so much the residence of the queen, it is more suitable to be regarded as a palace dedicated to the gods.
For the first time when I came into contact with such a building, Yuxue felt very uncomfortable, and muttered: "The person who built this palace must have a problem with his brain. It is dying to build everything so big! A house must be a bit popular. It’s like people live in this way, quietly like this, like a tomb more than a palace, it’s no wonder that the people who live here are short-lived for generations!"
Lancelow was also a bit nervous, so when I heard Yuxue’s complaint, I felt the same. I was about to praise him, when I heard his last sentence, he immediately changed his face, and hit him with an elbow. Whispered: "Don't forget, fat man, you will live in the grave of the dead man in the future!"
"Ah! That's right!" Youxue clutched her head in a panic, and began to think about how to crack it.
Lancelow said: "Looking at the palace built like this, it really cost a lot of money! Where did the money come from?"
"The palace itself gave most of the money, but there was also a considerable amount, which was donated by the people of Reins for the construction."
Maybe it was because he hadn't decided where he was going, or because the cerebral hemorrhage hadn't recovered yet, Gengoro's voice seemed weak.
"Wait a minute, I'm really surprised about this." Lancelow frowned, "Aren't the clergy helping the poor? Why in the end, these cultists will have more money than our bandits? What?"
"It would be too rude to talk about cults. No matter how Jixia talks about it, they are all religious centers in the Continent of Wind. It's not surprising that they are particularly rich!"
"What about the Faith Center? It's just changing from a cult to the No. 1 cult!" Lancelow said, "We made money by doing our best to make money. These guys just talked about it. It's really unconvincing that the idiot sent the money up."
"The good people speak out, the fools work hard, I have to blame you for not being a liar." Gengoro shook his head, really distressed in his heart.
Lancelow has already wanted people to master the ivory white tower, but the series of problems is just about to begin. It is the time when the hardest sprint is needed. However, in his own eyes, Lancelow is not yet mature enough to rely on himself. The strength to sit firmly on the throne, if Cang Yuecao's plan is to let him do everything, the damage it may cause may be worse than the invasion of the demons. Now that I know this situation, should I continue to assist Si?
Cang Yuecao's request was to publicly support Lancelow as the successor of the three sages. With the lofty status of the three sages like mythical figures, if you support Lancelow, it will indeed greatly strengthen his position, especially in Reins. The name of the three sages is unexpectedly shocking to some stubborn old stubborn. effect. Time is becoming more and more pressing, and I must seriously make an idea within these two days!
Lancelow and his party entered the Ivory Tower under the leadership of Reins' officials and officials. However, due to the strange attitude of the other party, Lancelow didn't figure out what identity he was in the Ivory Tower. of.
In fact, everyone has no way out. After using Xiaocao's private house money to pay the snow specials, the group of snow specials who assisted in the occupation all ran away. Without their assistance, it was impossible to continue to occupy Jacob, so when everyone came to Jixia, the city of Jacob was also liberated. The Reins people should be on guard against this. It is not difficult to wreak havoc in the city with the power of the heavens, but it is probably impossible to repeat the tricks and call the snow people to occupy the grassland. Let's talk about the grassland. Xia is different from Jacob, in terms of the scale of the city defense, even if the snow people in the nearby area are gathered, it will not play a role. But not long after Lancelow entered the palace, he discovered a new problem.
"Have you made a mistake? With such a big palace and so few people, we should do everything by ourselves!"
The situation is probably like this. The huge palace, including the guards, usually has more than 10,000 people, but now there are only a few hundred people left behind. Although not dead, it almost makes the ivory white pagoda. The entire function is paralyzed and unable to function.
"What the **** did this happen..." Lancelow frowned and said.
Gengoro next to him came over and added, "I just talked to the people here. They said that because the army and the court ladies were unwilling to serve the murderer, they all ran away. The rest of these are very courageous. Of."
"The Murder King?" Lance Rock said: "Why call me like that? Did I kill a lot of people?"
"Boss, what you did in Jacob City is explained in the eyes of the Reins people." Gengoro said, "Don't treat this as Eltinus, the Reins people have not been there for almost two thousand years. There have been wars, the country is too peaceful, and the queen governs well. Even if there is something particularly bad, the media will cooperate to cover it up. To the common people, the real villain is as far away as the sky. Now the boss, you actually appear in They went back to the front, again with such a tyrannical look. To the tribulation-stricken Eltinos, it may not be a big deal, but to the Reins, you are about to become the devil."
Looking back at Xiaocao, she responded with an apologetic look of approval, confirming what Gengoro had said.
"It hurts my brain, so I become a big bad guy...It's really a group of dead people who have never seen the world." Looking at the empty palace, there seemed to be a few people in front of them, but I was probably afraid of myself and didn't dare. Approaching, Lancelot sighed, feeling that the road ahead was not easy.
"Boss! Boss! Oops!" Yelling, You Xue rushed in. There is no need to hide anymore. He can act in a fair manner. Although he is the object of most Reins' spurned, as a Snowman, he naturally has his cockroach-like pervasive channels to obtain some intelligence.
Lancelow frowned and said: "What is so fuss about? Did the old man Cao Shou die?"
"No! Boss, it seems that your work in Jacob City is too intense, and many people are already dissatisfied. Now Jixia decided to Kaesong to let you in, which is tantamount to acknowledging your right of inheritance. A guy called Tian Xing issued a declaration in other provinces, saying that he wanted to crusade against you, a despicable conspirator, and encourage the people to participate. Seven provinces have expressed their support for him and jointly overthrow you!"
Lancelow shrugged, without much surprise, he glanced sideways at Gengoro and Xiaocao, seeing them as expected.
It’s not a big surprise, because when he published the Jacob’s Declaration, Lancelow probably thought of the armed conflict with the Reins people. Although Jixia’s initiative to open the city was not expected, it was not for the enemy To plan a conspiracy in secret, it is better to let everything come to the surface and settle it in a happily battle.
"This kind of thing is nothing! Soldiers are coming to stop, there must be a way to solve it." Lancelow said: "You stay here, I'm going to discuss with the person in charge of the palace, otherwise it will continue. Maybe you don’t even have lunch."
"Do you dare to have lunch here?" Youxue shook his head and said: "The people here hate you so much. Be careful that they poison you in the dishes and kill you, the boss, then it will be done once and for all."
"Oh! Poison is nothing to be afraid of." Lancelow laughed, patted heavily on the snowy shoulder, and said, "Because you have to eat the first bite of every dish!"
Imagine the tragic fate in the future, with an open mouth and Xue's expression as pale as food poisoning.
While staring at Lancelot's back, Gengoro whispered: "At this time, I can still feel like nothing. Should I say that it is rough? Or is it not clear at all?"
As a result, Lancelow did not get lunch.
There is no such thing as the person in charge of the palace. The official who was grabbed by the collar by Lancelow, after several negotiations, brought Lancelow to the court secretary Bai Dezhao.
Of course, not only this palace elder, but also a dozen important people representing the palace and Jixia Academy, participated in the interview together.
For Lancelow, this is really a very bad experience. If the other party speaks harshly and has an unreasonable and arrogant attitude, then he can also put himself in a corresponding posture and use various methods to gain the upper hand and overwhelm the other party; however, these elders are ten times older than Lancelot and have more life experience. It's hard to count. Their attitude at least can't find shortcomings in etiquette, and they are always happy and have a serious attitude to talk with Lancelot.
Because of this, the two-party talks only began to dissatisfy for a quarter of an hour, and Lancelow deeply regretted why he didn't ask Gengoro to speak on behalf of him. In terms of his own personality, just seeing a dozen old men with white hair and white beards in the entire conference room, smiling around him, speaking slowly and gently, is almost a kind of spirit. attack.
In some respects, this might be even more powerful than Amakusa Shiro’s soul-suppressing sound sword. Before both parties said a few words, Lancelot felt nervous and wanted to scream for surrender. Reluctantly to calm down, this did not stage the ugly state of breaking and fleeing.
The entire meeting process lasted two hours. Generally speaking, Bai Dezhao and others expressed their willingness to respect the Queen's wishes and recognize Lancelot's inheritance rights. However, there are still many people who are not convinced by the new monarch and launched a rebellion. As the leader of a country, he cannot ascend to the throne when the country is divided. This will damage the dignity of the monarch. Therefore, they must wait for the domestic rebellion to be completely settled before the official Lancelot is the king of Reins.
But the ministers also made several requests, hoping that Lancelow would comply:
First, the army and funds for the suppression of the chaos must be raised and prepared by itself, and the Reins court cannot provide it.
Secondly, it is not allowed to use celestial power against ordinary soldiers and civilians to indiscriminately kill innocent people.
In the third or three months, all economic and political affairs of Reins must be restored to stability.
If Lancelow can complete these constraints in three months, then the ministers will formally hold the enthronement ceremony for him. If not, it means that he does not have the ability and qualifications to become King Reins. By then, I hope there will be Insulting the queen's expectations, he was able to take the initiative to leave Reins.
"With the bravery and chivalry of His Highness Lancelow, it should be a breeze to accomplish this! We are all looking forward to it. Please stay in these three months... Oh! No, with your ability, maybe one Within a month, you will be able to show your talents and abilities, and let us dying old people have an eye-opener!"
If he is sane, Lancelow may still be able to take correct judgments or fight for some more favorable conditions for him, but after two consecutive hours of fatigue bombing, he almost forgets his name. I just want to leave this hypnotic **** as soon as possible, so...
"Ah! There is no problem with this. Leave Reins' future to me! I will never let the elders down!"
Following was a series of thunderous applause, in a trance, as if the dozen or so old men had left the seat together and came to the front, smiling cordially, shaking hands with themselves, patted the shoulders, and said words of praise.
That feeling was pretty good. When everyone dispersed, Lancelow leaned against the edge of the table, and after a quarter-hour nap, he opened his eyes and looked around.
"Um... I just seemed to have promised something incredible!"
