March 1968, Ertinoli, Reince, Beimen Tianguan

If you change the scene, this may be a completely different scene.

At the welcome hotel in Bailu Cave, Lancelo, wearing a robe, spoke respectful words to his uncle Lu You very respectfully. Lu You would also receive the nephew with a smile as the etiquette as an elder.

However, due to the differences in positions between the two sides, although it was their first meeting, they had already had grudges with each other, and because of these grudges, they immediately fell into a state of confrontation.

Since the meeting, Lu You hated the man in front of him.Not only did he pose with a high position, but he also exuded a momentum, which made Lu You feel extremely unhappy.

This momentum seems familiar. It was the battle of Jiuzhou two thousand years ago. On the lonely peak of Jue Cliff, the peerless overlord who was alone to suppress the masters present from being unable to raise their heads. It exuded such momentum, but compared with him, Lancelo's feeling was much more domineering, stimulating Lu You's senses and reminding him of the shame that day.

Faced with Lancelo's arrogant attitude, Lu You's light counterattack seemed even more pungent, but Lancelo seemed to not feel the irony inside, shrugged slightly, lowered his position to the same level as Uncle Master, and bowed and said: If Uncle Master has already enjoyed his whole life, I will forgive my nephew for not giving it away. It's so tiring to get rid of it now.

Without the invitation to fight, Lancelo seemed to have issued an order to expel guests, but his attitude was not unacceptable. It was inconsistent with his previous arrogant attitude, which also surprised Lu You. If he knew this person first and his arrogance when he appeared, he should have to do it immediately, but...

Lu You denied that the other party was planning to do some tricks and wait for an opportunity to attack.

Perhaps not every disciple inherited the style of his master, but the man in front of him undoubtedly had the same momentum as his righteous brother Huang Taiji. Such a person would not do anything that would insult his personality without any need.

It really surprised me. It seems that you are different from what I heard before.Lu You said calmly: I am fighting against Shiro Amakusa. Don’t you want to take the opportunity to start?Attacking the enemy's weakness is the right way to learn military.

Ha, Uncle Sword Saint, it’s not only you that will surprise people.Lancelow said: It is indeed a great temptation to continue fighting you in a wheel battle after you fought with Shiro Amakusa. However, this kind of chance of winning is not enough. I don’t want to do it. If I really want to fight you, I will choose someone when you are weaker and fight with my sister, brother, and all my subordinates.As for now, there are too few people here...

Expressing his thoughts openly, instead, the other party felt that there was no gap to take advantage of.Lu You looked thoughtfully behind Lancelo, where there was another person he couldn't see through, floating there.

They had no plans to shake hands with friendly hands. Since they did not plan to start a war, it would be unnecessary to say anything here. Lu You and Amacao's fierce battle really caused him to lose his vitality. When he confirmed that there was no need to fight, his whole body turned into a rainbow light and flew straight towards Eltino.

Hey, Bailu Cave Martial Arts, it seems that there are some tricks, and you may not be able to beat him now.These two old guys are really energetic. Beimen Tianguan is now razed to the ground. I wonder if Bailu Cave will compensate for the construction fee?But...it's fine, at least some people have gained the benefits from it.

Lancelo, who was talking to himself, turned his head and said to the back: Isn't it?Third brother, you should thank me some. If I didn’t take action just now, you will be responsible for taking over the impact force. In this way, what you have been trying to hide will be exposed?I'm very loyal to do this.

Gengoro did not answer, but looked at the smiling brother in front of him very attentively, using all his Tianxin consciousness to explore and estimate, to see how much improvement he has achieved after experiencing the fierce civil war of Reines.

It was impossible to tell that Gengoro's expression turned cautious, because not only could he be unable to confirm how much progress Lancelo had made, he could not even equate him with the person he had known in the past.

Did you... have arrived at the beginning?

Is it necessary to ask more questions for such an obvious thing?It wasn't enough at first, but it was probably one step behind Amacao.Lancelo smiled and patted Gengoro on the shoulder and said: It's so ugly to be made like that lizard girl. You are different from me. Don't joke about your body with no etheric body.

It confirmed the guess in my heart, Gengoro did not feel that it was better.

If it were the former Lancelo, he had always been rushing before everyone, and was in a stern way; not to mention that the big enemies Zi Yu and Amakusa Shiro appeared, he had no reason to stand aside.

But all these things have happened now, and the seriously injured Shiro Amakusa left. Lancelo, who looked indifferent, gave Gengoro a strange and inexplicable feeling.

Don’t think too much. After returning to Jixia, I will answer your doubts. Let’s talk about what should be answered at that time.

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

The question that Gengoro doubted also appeared in Ni'er's heart. When she moved slowly under the escort of the entire army, she suddenly thought in her heart that her brother would have happened like this. Will he have come to the battlefield long ago and monitor everything?

Even if Nier protects her brother in her heart, she can't calm down when she notices this possibility. However, Lancelo also did not give her a chance to ask questions. After landing to confirm that her sister's injury was not injurious, he touched her sister's hair and smiled: Recover the injury early. I will not hold the throne ceremony before you and the third brother come back.

Before Ni'er could respond, Lancelo jumped away again and asked Ni'er to swallow her full words, but her confusion in her heart continued to increase.

In such a situation, the battle called the First Battle of Beimen Tianguan was declared to be over, and both Elterno and Reince were greatly traumatized. However, compared with Reince, the participants on Elterno's side could almost summarize everything by the word "total extermination".

Ninety-nine percent of all the Hua family soldiers who participated in the battle were killed in the evil magic circle. As for the other Bailu Cave troops and the orc teams of Shijia Jingang Hall, all died and could not even find their bodies.

As for the experts who participated in the battle, in addition to Hao Kelian's retreat, Hua Chongque died in battle, and Zi Yu's whereabouts were unknown, which was a huge loss to Bai Lu Cave.

Hua Tianxie, who caused this situation, escaped without a trace with Shi Chong, and his whereabouts were unknown for a while.

On Reins, the number of casualties was less than 1,000, which may fully demonstrate the strength of the Five Color Flag and the ability to advance and retreat.

In terms of hardware, the entire Beimen Tianguan was moved to a flat ground, and all the hard work of months was in vain. It would take a lot of time and money to rebuild it. However, Eltino's side wanted to revive the offensive, but it was definitely not possible within months.

Nier and Gengoro were all injured in the battle. To be able to act formally, they had to take a few days off.

The order they received was to leave the army here and prepare to rebuild the Beimen Tianguan. All affairs were temporarily replaced by Deputy Commander Bai Qianlang. As the commander, they would immediately return to Jixia after they could take action to attend the throne ceremony.

Even without using Lancelo's orders, Nier and Gengoro rushed back to Ji and asked the doubts in their hearts clearly. However, before Gengoro's injuries stabilized, they could not do it for the time being. For this reason, Nier, who has always been irritable, was displeased in her heart. She just suppressed it with her own rationality and did not attack anyone.

Since this question is unsolvable for a while, taking advantage of Gengoro's chance to recover from his injuries, Nier also asked him some confusions about this battle.

I didn't expect Old Man Lu to appear suddenly, and I didn't expect that he was even more powerful than the legendary one.This fact frustrated Ni'er the most than other discoveries.

Was Amacao also defeated in the past and was kicked out of overseas?

No...I don't think so.Everyone has always had a misunderstanding that Amacao was defeated by Lu You, kicked out of the mainland, and lived overseas for a long time.Gengoro said: In fact, Shiro Amakusa was originally an islander from Japan overseas, not a mainlander. He came across the sea when he was a teenager and learned from his master in Jerusalem. After the war in Kyushu, there was no need for people and things to do on the Wind Continent. Even if no one rushed, he would return to his hometown.

That's so irritating?Then the battle he had with Mr. Lu at the beginning...

Didn't you hear it yourself?Lu You admitted that in that battle, the two did not decide the outcome, but fought hard until they were exhausted and fought each other.Originally, after that battle, Shiro Amakusa was about to return to Japan, so after the battle reached the point of losing power, he made a harsh statement, unless Lu You welcomed him back with the most solemn etiquette of the White Deer Cave, he would never walk on the wind continent from then on.

Gengoro shook his head and smiled bitterly: At that time, the most solemn etiquette in Bailu Cave was to set off a salute called the blue sky firework. After Lu You returned, he immediately ordered the destruction of all the blue sky fireworks, and the technicians were not allowed to rebuild it again, so that the grand salute of Bailu Cave would never appear again.

This... should I say that Old Man Lu is despicable?However, it seems something is wrong.Nier said: Why is Tiancao so stupid?If someone destroyed the blue sky fireworks, he would stay dead in Japan and never come back to the Wind Continent. This would be too stupid.

Apart from the competition, Amacao did not have much demand for other material desires. He did not return to the Fengzhi Continent, but he just didn't want to come back. It's ridiculous that Hua Tianxie thought he had made great contributions and could use this to threaten Amacao to help him do things. He is really a guy who can't figure out the reality.

Gengoro sighed: In fact, among the many masters of the old generation, Amakura and Lu You were friends and were very similar good friends. After Amakura walked on the wind continent, she did not immediately kill the White Deer Cave, and most of them were just thinking about the old friend. Therefore, Lu You refused to start a war against Amakura immediately, and both of them...

I don't understand.Nier asked: If they are really good friends, why would they fight again?Isn’t it enough to just talk and talk about things?Look at how they looked just now, Amacao started fighting just to find a reason to start a war.

Because there are so many grudges between the two of them, so many that Shiro Amakusa would rather cross the sea and return home than live with this friend on the same land... Speaking of this, Gengoro's face suddenly became very serious, and he whispered with a wry smile: But... I am not qualified to say such things as shameless.

Nothing to say, Xiaowu, you don’t have to worry about this at all.Seeing that the man around him looked abnormal, Nier gave encouragement at the right time.

She quickly hit Gengoro with her elbow and smiled: Don’t say yourself like a bad person. You are not a hypocrite like Old Man Lu, saying hypocritical words with righteousness.I believe you, people like you, will not do anything bad.

Gengoro laughed in silence at Ni'er's almost unreasonable blind protection.

No... In fact, Lu You did not do anything bad. It is not appropriate to describe him in the word "hypocrite". It's just that he insists on certain beliefs too much and is willing to sacrifice everything for these beliefs, which has caused many regrets. But if you ask him, he will never think he is wrong. In fact, whether he is really wrong, it is hard to say that Ah...

There was a heavy feeling in Gengoro's voice, which Ni'er didn't like because it was not Gengoro who she was familiar with.

By the way, why did Lu You suddenly appear in Beimen Tianguan and stand in a position of supporting us?

Maybe it was asked by someone.Gengoro said: Regardless of his position with Bailu Cave, doing so will make Bailu Cave extremely embarrassed in Ertino's situation, which is quite unfavorable to him... Really, is it that he is doing this now, is he trying to prove something?

What are you saying again?Ni'er said: Who do you mean by that person?Tell me if it's OK?

This Ah...is a secret.Gengoro smiled and said: Miss Ni'er is still young and knows so many past events that have passed. It is not very good to you. When you should know it, you will know it.

Damn it, what's so amazing about pretending to be mysterious?

Knowing that Gengoro would not let go, Ni'er hit his left with an elbow. In such a laughing atmosphere, an indescribable worry quietly hit their hearts.

I haven't been in Jixia for a long time, but the atmosphere there has made them feel like they are from home. When they were punitive in Beimen Tianguan, I always wanted to find an opportunity to go back to Jixia for a while. Now this vacation has finally arrived, but what exactly will be waiting for them in Jixia?

Unlike Nier and Gengoro, there is a person who doesn’t have to think about his future at all. For him, as long as he can fully enjoy the present moment, that is enough.

Youxue, the fourth brother... I was so moved when I saw you.

Boss Lancelo, the same is true for me. I thought I would never see you again in my life.

In the bar, two righteous brothers who had not met for a long time hugged each other tightly and almost shed tears of parting. The scene made the atmosphere extremely high, and everyone cheered and opened the wine jar to celebrate.

Before, when Lancelo quietly left Jixia and rushed to Beimen Tianguan alone for assistance, he did not tell anyone about this, and he did not make a big fuss when he came back, so everyone knew that His Highness, the prince, who had not seen anyone for many days, rushed to the battlefield of Beimen Tianguan.

Lancelow did not explain much about this. For him, it is good to show off properly, but a certain role should be left to others to play. A one-man snatching all the glorious one-man show is not a good way to control the national politics.

After returning to Jixia, before he could go back to the Ivory White Tower to talk to his wife, he rushed to the hotel street, found Youxue, and had a drink first.

He consciously had the obligation to give back to this brother who helped him a lot, and thanked him for always supporting him.

On the other hand, I also need this image.

Brother-in-law Bai Qi is undoubtedly extremely wise and has no choice but to do it, but a person's personality is doomed to his fate. Even if he knows that doing this will be better, he will be limited by his personality, which makes him disdain to do it, resulting in limited achievements.

I have inherited his wisdom, but there is no need to learn even that dead temper.

While entertainment, try to make a fuss and make people feel like they are easy to get close to. People often like such rulers, otherwise the stories mentioned by the minstrels would not be all about the anecdotes of the great monarchs going on a tour in a very small costume.

Even having to take into account the image of leisure life, it is really annoying to think about it. However, if this can help your ruling work go smoothly, then this is the ruler's obligation, and you can only sigh and do it.

Boss, you don’t know how hard it was tortured by that ghost woman. She is really inhumane. During that time...

Youxue narrated that misleading day.

If you worship Hua Bianque, it would be worse than death. Although the other party would never hide his own personal information and let him watch all his notes and experiences and the treatment process, he would not take the initiative to teach anything. Everything is learned by Youxue and is assessed daily.

Of course, Hua Bianque's test will not let go. Once the test fails, the punishments she uses will be some demon insects that will not damage the body but will strongly stimulate the touch. Whether it is itchy or painful, it can make a burly man cry on the ground and call his parents, let alone the Snowman who is already weak in will.

Fortunately, the problem that Youxue is most afraid of is to go out to collect experimental samples as a ghost doctor’s personal disciple; or help write some unknown immoral experiments.

In the name of free free medical consultation, blood samples from patients are taken, or some newly prepared experimental drugs are used as prevention and treatment vaccines and injected into the patient's body.

Once the incident broke out, the angry villagers chased and beat him. As soon as Hua Bianque had power in the sky, he immediately flew away, making the miserable unable to catch up. However, it would be hard for him to have snow. The man ran slowly with his short legs. As long as the villagers catch up, he would immediately beat him with a wooden stick. If Hua Bianque hadn't turned around to rescue him, he would have been beaten to death by a wooden stick.

Anyway, the master is a doctor, and there are so many medicines in the residence. After you go back, you have to be careful not to take the wrong medicine jar, otherwise you will apply it wrongly and you will die faster than anything else.

However, Hua Bianque doesn't always come back to help, and most of the time he still has to rely on the local gunpowder and smoke bombs of the Xuete people to escape.

Slowly, Hua Bianque threw some tips of the Daxue Mountains to force Xue to exercise. In order to save his life, he really practiced hard day and night.

Boss, you would never have imagined how hard I worked at that time. As long as I took a step slower, I would immediately be broken by a sickle and wooden stick. It was so terrifying...

Well, if it were the stinky witch I knew, I would understand your experience very much.

Sometimes I even feel that I am wandering between life and death like that every day. Sooner or later, I will enter the throne like you and become a fucking super Scite...

Youxue naturally tried to run away, but under Hua Bianque's black magic surveillance, he had no way to escape. As for pleading, Hua Bianque said lightly that when I was six years old, I lived this kind of life. I can survive, but you have no reason not to do so, so I interrupted Youxue's cry.

In such a situation, it is either life or death, and it is difficult for Xue to not make progress. Although because of the short time, he cannot learn from Master’s profound attainments in black magic, his light skills have made great progress, and he has great experience in using various poisons. If he uses such cultivation to explore the world, even though he cannot dominate one side, he can be an outstanding flower-picking thief.

I used to try to become a thief and practice light qi, but I didn't expect that I finally practiced light qi because I wanted to save my life. Boss Ah, I'm really...

Enough, stop talking.

Lancelo slapped Youxue hard on the shoulder, as if he was very moved, and almost sighed with tears in his eyes.

It’s my fault that I actually put you in such a danger. I’m so sorry for you. In order to compensate you heavily, I decided...

This is really great. Since you say that, boss, please give me 100,000 gold coins first to compensate for my physical and mental damage...

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

Looking at the smile of his righteous brother, Yuxue suddenly felt a chill.

Lancelow's promise should never be a problem, but for some reason, this smile reminded him of the countless times in the past, who had tempted him beautifully and then fell into the bottomless abyss.

Lancelow's promise was expressed in actual circumstances, and it happened the next morning.

The official documents from the highest power of Reince were published in headlines in major newspapers before being conveyed to the administrative units. As for the two parties who received the order, they could hardly express their shock in words.

The prime minister left, left, left?!The Snowman, who was still hangover, fell from his small bed in fear. He couldn't believe that he had been awarded this important position, second only to the emperor in the administrative system, and was below one person and above ten thousand people.

The same situation also occurred to another person in Jixia City. At that time, he was sleeping soundly with three beautiful singing girls with different hair and skin colors. After hearing the news, his sleepiness disappeared, and even his plan to sleep for a while was forced to cancel.

Nah, Kou,? So shocked that he even blurted out in a foreign language. Bai Wuji stared at the information he had just received, and 90% of his surprise and 10% of his anger were vented from his mouth at the same time.

Right Prime Minister?What a small official position?What does that monkey think about the definition of size?It doesn’t matter if you have a brain problem, but what’s going on?Want me to do things under the hands of that Chet?What the hell is he thinking about?

In contrast to the promise of a small official position, Lancelo was granted the title of the right prime minister to this second brother-in-law who had promised to assist in political affairs.

As far as the administrative system is concerned, it is not surprising that the emperor has established a prime minister as his deputy, with the left higher than the right. With Bai Wuji's talents and political resources, it is not surprising that he has a prime minister, but it is not only unprecedented in Reince's history, but it is simply an unspeakable news in the mainland that has opened up the wind.

Youxue is my brother-in-law. In terms of identity, she can be considered a royal relative. How could she be a humble person?When I was in danger, he had saved my life many times without regard for himself. In order to repay this kindness and praise this bravery, I think it is not wrong to let him take such a position.

Since the emperor has always attached great importance to morality, this personnel order seems normal. However, this reason is not enough to convince everyone, especially Reince's bureaucratic system, how could it be possible for the Scite to be the prime minister?

Lancelow has certainly explained this.

In the lobby of the Royal Library, His Highness, wearing casual clothes and holding books in his hands, met with representatives from all parties.

Reins is now a critical moment in seeking innovation and change. After experiencing so many things, are you still sticking to racial disagreements?

In contrast to the previous situation, racial disagreement is now the most taboo topic of Reince. Once he is slapped with this big hat, it is equated with the great sins and evil, and everyone avoids it.

No, Your Highness, we can understand what you mean, but even if you only want to break the bad habit of racial discrimination, the talent of that person...

Putting down the book in his hand, Lancelo smiled and said: I don’t read much, but I just read a story about buying a thousand-mile horse bone here a few days ago.The same is true now. If even Xue Te can become the Prime Minister Zuo, how could other more talented people not come?This is to make our Reince value the will of talents and let everyone in the Continent of Fengfeng know.

When this report was published in a special form, Lancelo's reputation rose accordingly, and everyone praised the wisdom of His Highness the Prince, and the storm of personnel appointments subsided.

As for the parties involved who caused all these incidents, they felt a little as their wife's feelings back then, and they finished reading all the reports alone at home.

This is actually very problematic. If you really want to imitate the story of Qianli Horse Bone, you would be wrong.

In the highest sanitary room of the Ivory White Tower, Xiaocao held an apple in one hand and sighed at the sister in front of her.

The so-called story of the Thousand-Mile Horse Bone refers to a minister in ancient times who went out to purchase Thousand-Mile Horses under the order of the king. When he finally found the Thousand-Mile Horse, the good horse was dead and there were only a pile of dead bones left. However, the minister still spent a thousand gold to buy the horse bones. The reason he used was that everyone in the world knew that I was willing to spend a thousand gold to buy horse bones, but was he afraid that the real Thousand-Mile Horse would not come.

If you really want to use this strategy and grant Youxue a position, you should be a prominent official position with a high position, but not the highest, and there is no real power. This is what it means to be awaiting outstanding talents. Just as he is directly appointed as prime minister like this, blocking the highest official position will only make the talents wait and see.

Well, what you said is, then, do you think Lord Lancelo’s thoughts are not thorough enough, so he has such a mistake?

If it were the past, I would have made such a judgment, but now I dare not underestimate him like this.Xiaocao said: He... should understand the result very well, and one of the reasons for insisting on doing this is to mock the Reinces people, so that the Sertes, who had no social status, would be one person or more than ten thousand people. This should be a great irony for the Reinces people.

Let Lord Lancelo indulge in it. Sitting in the supreme position is also under a lot of pressure. Miss, have you often done something incredible to everyone before?Feng'er smiled and said: Although Lord Youxue is in a high position, I think he will not handle the actual political affairs. In the future, you will probably be tired from the second son of Wuji and Miss.

That's good... Xiaocao felt that things were not that simple. If she had expected it correctly, Youxue, the Zuo Prime Minister, would not only not ignore political affairs, but would have a series of absurd orders constantly issued from him. Since he was Zuo Prime Minister, even his second brother would not be able to oppose these orders by then, and Youxue himself would probably feel helpless because he didn't even know when he signed those official documents...

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

In front of Feng'er, Xiaocao never had to hide anything and expressed her worries without reservation.Feeling her uneasiness, Feng'er hoped to do something for her, but...

Miss, even if I want to do something for you, I can’t do anything like this now!

Feng'er said this with a wry smile.

With her current situation, she can only smile like this.

Lying on the hospital bed, her body was covered with bandages. When the injuries had been healed for 80%, the effect of these bandages became restricted movements, not to mention more than ten acupoints in her body that were sealed by the demonic power, which made her unable to raise any strength. She could only be forced to stay on the hospital bed, put on a loose white nightgown, look at the bouquets and paintings that were replaced the next day, and live a quiet life of reading and listening to music every day, and enjoy a leisurely time that she had not seen for a long time.

This... I can't help it. Sister... you just enjoy it for a while.

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

Seriously, Sister Feng'er has been living and dying 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 agreed. It may be a good thing like now, but... she really can't do such a arrogant approach as her husband.
