143 After Triumph
"I guess, what official do Your Majesty plan to be my master?" Yili asked jokingly, shaking the wine glass in his hand.
"Wang Family Special Financial Advisor, will this name be a little longer?" Xiu De shook his hand and explained: "Simply put, I would like to ask you to help manage the business and financial affairs of the Kingdom. In the past, due to various reasons, this aspect has been left unrestrained, but it should be necessary to arrest it in the future."
"...Is it because the air thief was suppressed?"
"That's right. Because of Qilin and his efforts, most of the air pirate forces in the kingdom have been eliminated. In the situation of a reversal of offense and defense, it is impossible for the air pirates to develop again." Xiu De put on a thoughtful attitude. "As a businessman, you should know that the property of the Kingdom of Lavelis itself is not poor. Once the country gets rid of chaos and goes on a normal track, all aspects will develop quickly. If you prepare first, you will be confused. There is nothing to worry about in the political field, but I thought about it for a long time and found a more suitable candidate than you."
"So that's it. Your Majesty thinks quite far away." Yili showed an admiration for a moment. "But, Princess Elsa was originally responsible for the internal affairs of the palace, and the politics was handed over to the Duke of the Asuka. If the finances were handed over to me, wouldn't Your Majesty have nothing to do?"
"Tsk, have you seen through..." Xiu De said "tsk" as if he was caught and hurt his feet.
"Well, I will consider your proposal anyway, Your Majesty." Yili pointed out in a Youran voice. "But I think it's too early to talk about these things now. Even if the air pirates can't pose a threat, there is another cancer in this country, and the level of danger is completely inferior to that of the air pirates. I don't think he will watch His Majesty come out to gain power. In fact, I just observed it a little, and no one of the people under the Prime Minister's Mansion came?"
"Well, if that guy's goal is just power, it's not difficult to deal with..." Xiu De seemed to have something in his words, and suddenly looked around as if he was thinking of something. "Anotherwise, did you just arrive and see the Duke of the Fuguo? The teacher just came back from the Tower of Babel yesterday, and I hadn't had time to say hello to him."
"I just saw him there, Lord Duke." Yili pointed out the direction for him and added another sentence. "I am surrounded by many wild goblins and are having a happy chat."
"What!!!?" Xiude was stunned on the spot. "Is there such a thing? That old man Bu Xiu! I'm going to report to my master's wife!"
………………………………………
"That's it, girls. Please enjoy the entertainment of the Wang family today. You can come and have a walk when you have time in the future."
The Duke waved goodbye to the wild goblins, then touched his chin and murmured to himself. "After that's it, I really underestimated my son-in-law. I didn't expect that even the fierce wild goblins favored him, and the competition was fierce... Well, it seems that things must be done quickly, otherwise..."
"Or what? Or what?" Someone's resentment suddenly sounded behind him.
"Oh? Isn't this your Majesty?" The Duke looked back at Xiude behind him.
"Hmph, it's really the same as Yili said..." Xiu De looked at the wild fairies' backs away, and it seemed that the tail of a greedy cat was shaking behind him.
"Hmm? Is there any problem?"
"The problem? Of course there is a problem!" Xiu De said excitedly. "I miss your age, teacher! I'm still attracting bees and butterflies here when I'm old. I'm wasting a lot of time for the beauties in this kind of uncreative communication. It's a waste of resources! You...how did you do it?"
"There is there, I just showed the charm of a mature man, and then the girls gathered together by themselves." The duke proudly touched his chin and looked down on the angry Xiude. "Unworthy disciple, let me tell you one more thing. Men are like uncensored jade. The more time goes by, the more mature the charm, the more they can develop. Compared to chasing women's butts like wild monkeys all day long, it is better to focus on honing their own manly charm!"
"So...so that's it!" Xiu De showed a sudden realization.
"...But, the rotten wood that cannot be ground into a tool can indeed exist in the world." The duke looked up and down at Xiude and sighed.
"Hey! Old man, is your fun just to blow my fighting spirit?"
"Where is that kind of evil thought, even if I keep it, it will disappear immediately. Why should I spend this effort?" The Duke waved his hand contemptuously and then changed the subject. "After that's it, have you seen those people from Catos? I've been looking for them just now, but it seems that none of them came?"
"How could Katos come? He is not too confused..." Xiude snorted a few times and said meaningfully. "This is equivalent to the home court of the royal sect. Aren't the Prime Minister's Sect coming here to find a blow? That guy is probably hiding in the corner of the Prime Minister's Mansion now, drawing circles while cursing some people, right?"
"Hmph, if Katos was such an easy guy to deal with, I would have been back long ago!" The Duke knocked Xiude in the head. "Why do you think I've been in Babel for so long?"
“…Why?”
"I want to figure out what that guy Catos is pursuing," said the Duke. "On the surface, the guy's purpose seemed to be to master the country, but I always felt that his approach was a bit too negative. The Embrian family and the Royal Ravelis family were the same as the Isere family. In the past, they were famous families of the sky civilization, so I tried to find information about the Embrian family from the records of the Tower of Babel, and found something surprising."
"Something surprising?"
"Have you heard of the name 'Dragon Attack Armed Forces'?" the Duke asked with a solemn expression.
………………………………………
The melodious music in the conference hall was spreading with the wind, and the noise surged from the square outside mixed into a lively atmosphere. Sitting on the roof of the conference hall and looking at the warm fires in the square outside, Qilin couldn't help but sigh deeply. If it were normal, he would probably have gone to the square to join in the fun, right? But today he couldn't raise that interest.
The ghost-faced man Chechen's affairs were like a stone, weighing heavily on his heart. The reason why he ran to such a place where no one was also meant to avoid Nuoyin.
This is the best banquet to comfort the hard work of the Xiangshi. All the Cangkong King Cavalry, including the crusade team, were invited to attend. As the leader of Baixiang, Nuo Yin did not come to attend. But Qilin just didn't want to meet her. Or to be more precise, he didn't know what to use to meet Nuo Yin.
It is of course best to say "I'm back" to No Yin as simple as usual, but if you can do it, you don't have to hide in such a place and feel depressed...
Or, boasting to Nuoyin with great might, "I've fulfilled my promise!", and then waiting for Nuoyin's praise? This seems good, but it really doesn't match your personality...
No matter what, the key to the problem is the problem of the ghost-faced man Che Chen. I still don’t know whether I should tell Nuo Yin about this. Before the truth of the matter was explained, even if I told Nuo Yin, it would be of no help. However, hiding this matter in front of Nuo Yin who trusted him the most is more difficult than fighting a hundred disaster dragons alone...
No matter how much I think about it, I can't think of the answer... No, maybe there is no correct answer to this kind of thing at all. Qilin scratched his hair randomly, and then kicked a piece of tile at his feet angrily.
The tiles flew out with a stunning sound, shattering not far away, and with the crisp sound, there was a woman's exclamation.
Has it hit someone? Qilin was shocked and fell down on the spot. He thought he had caused trouble, so he subconsciously wanted to crawl and hide away, but he was worried about the consequences of the injury. After struggling with the battle between heaven and man in his heart, he finally decided to muster up the courage to face his mistakes. He crawled forward to the edge of the house, carefully poked out half of his head, and looked at the movement below.
The tiles kicked away by him fell into the garden outside the hall, but they didn't hit anyone, but they scared a blonde lady in the garden. The frightened lady was looking around for the mischievous owner with an angry expression, and Qilin's eyes were facing her.
"Oh..." Qilin's panicked expression fell into the other party's eyes. The noble lady sighed as if she understood it completely, and then waved to him.
"Uh..." The other party was one of the few people he had difficulty resisting, and Qilin had to jump down from the roof.
"You kid, many people are looking for you just now, but you ran to the roof to do what?" Rachel looked at the Qilin walking towards her with a reproachful look.
"Hehe, I'm thinking about something..." Qilin scratched his head and tried to pretend to be stupid. "Where is Sister Rachel? There seem to be many noble ladies attending the banquet today, and the captain was unexpectedly popular. Can you not watch it?"
"That's the reward he deserves for the battle. Let him enjoy it today." Rachel chuckled and waved his hand. "And I'm here to find you, little brother. Are you okay now?"
"Well, it's okay..."
"Then wait here, I'll go." Rachel turned around and walked towards the hall, and turned around and told her before leaving. "Don't leave, just wait here."
"Oh... Lin agreed, but muttered in his heart, not knowing what Rachel had to do with him.
At tonight's banquet, the wild goblin was undoubtedly the most popular VIP among men, and in addition to them, the Xiangshi of the siege team was also welcomed to the same extent. Whether it was Cruz, Jitan, or even the married Podan became the targets of the palace maids. When Kirin just visited the hall, he watched his colleagues be surrounded by the palace maids, and he was almost unable to move forward. The scene was probably beyond the standard of envy, which made him feel almost daunting.
Perhaps this is why he felt quite uneasy when he stayed in this uncovered garden at this moment.
Fortunately, Rachel didn't let him wait too long, and the blonde lady came back with the sound of footsteps in the corridor.
Chapter completed!
