Chapter Eighty-Five: The Foodies of the Summer Palace
The Auckland Empire has a new prime minister, and the Duke of Tyrion becomes the head of the imperial court. The first thing the little giant who fell into the sea of stars did after taking charge of national affairs was to deal with the bloodshed caused by the lion family and the wolf family in the southern city.
All those involved in the fire were sentenced to prison or even exile, and those who committed human lives were directly sentenced to death, including the two knights of the Duke of Tyrion himself. Naturally, the Stoka family did not get any benefits, and the leading Sir Byr (the eldest son of the Earl of Beyer, a hereditary vassal of the Staka family) was directly exiled to the Southern Fleet as a hard laborer. Considering that Tyrion had exiled his son Tyros to the northern border, no one could say anything.
In addition, in the name of the Prime Minister, Tyrion opened the treasury and set up a flowing water table in the southern city for three days and three nights, and all citizens could participate at will. As a result, the civil unrest caused by the aristocratic fire was naturally pacified.
In short, this kind of conflict that can cast a shadow on the emperor's birthday has been resolved in this way. Ordinary citizens have reason to believe that the new prime minister will bring them a stable and enlightened rule, and that the prosperity of the Sun Emperor era will continue.
A new page has been turned in the history of empires and the world......
These are naturally big things, but this has nothing to do with Lu Xi. Three days after he had resolved the so-called "Tisru nuclear crisis", the reception staff of the Field Service finally arrived and, after a detailed interrogation, removed the prisoner, the Faceless "Bals".
"All in all, everything can be solved, which is really gratifying." Lu Xidao.
"What will happen to Lieutenant Colonel Bars when he is taken away?" Sehireu asked a little uneasy.
"It's not for sure, it's inevitable to cut pork or something with a tiger chair in chili water." Lu Xi said: "If you're lucky, you may be able to pick up a life, but it's definitely impossible for people to come out." ”
"How is that possible! Torture is expressly prohibited by federal law. "Sehireu is a serious and authentic person.
Lu Xi looked at the girl with a gaze that bordered on pity—once upon a time, when I was in kindergarten, I also thought that I was bathed in the glory of perfection, guided by a perfect organization led by a group of tall and great men, until a brick was hit in the knee of my dream—and then, in a tone that I don't know whether to sigh or sigh, he let out a sigh: "Sai Xiliu, you have so many cute points! ”
"What do you mean by that? Also, what's the deal with that look of pity in your eyes? It's annoying! Sehireu said dissatisfied.
Lu Xi said again: "Actually, you don't need to worry. With the Faceless One's methods, I doubt that the men sent from above will be able to bring him home safely. ”
"Ah, then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"Don't care, don't care, maybe I'm just overthinking." Lu Xi said patiently. He couldn't tell Sù Sesilyu, the words of the faceless man had succeeded in making him suspicious of the Foreign Service Agency, the "brocade guard" of the federal government, and naturally he would not be kind enough to do so. What's more, the girl in front of her, who was pure-hearted, full of vitality, and like the sun at eight or nine o'clock, didn't know the existence of a dark state secret organization such as the Field Service Department, so there was no need for Lu Xi to make any extraneous branches.
Lu Xi naturally didn't know that his words were true. The escorts soon lost contact, and it was only three days later that the Field Service found them naked and unconscious in a small alley in Port Gloreen.
Of course, this qiē is all a story for later.
Successfully solving an A-level task, Lu Xi upgraded the magician profession to level 35 and the magic micro-manipulation to level 5. Plastic Energy and Spirituality have also reached "Mastery Level 20" and "Mastery Level 18" respectively, and they are only one step away from master. The mission rewards he had just obtained were squandered again, but Lu Xi's strength finally reached Silver Level 10. …,
"As long as I go further, I can also call myself the Golden Saint Seiya." Lu Ximei thought with amusement.
He decided to treat everyone to the others, and invited Lim and Sehireu to the Alain summer palace that Karin had said to taste the pastry that sold flour for more than gold. As for Grant and Bull, well, Lu Xi thought that he had no leisure to invite men to afternoon tea, so he rewarded them with a large bounty, so that they could find their own place to pass the time.
The summer palace was built during the ancient Auckland Empire before the Keming War. At that time, the last king of the Yanlong Dynasty, Vyal IV, in order to commemorate his early death of his favorite concubine Ai Lanli, built this small but extremely gorgeous and luxurious palace in the west of the Radiant City. The emperor moved into this palace with the relics of his concubine, and looked at the jade statue of Ai Lanli every day without thinking about it, and the national politics naturally became a floating cloud in the face of "great love".
It is said that when the rebellious Prince of the Black Dragon, Fatel, invaded the palace, Vial IV still held the jade statue of Ailanli firmly, and did not let go even when he was stabbed by the rebels.
This was followed by the 500-year-long Warring States period in Auckland, until the Emperor Kenoeus established the current Shengquan Dynasty as a hero of the Enlightenment War.
Today, the beautiful buildings of the Ellen Rijnad are in ruins, but they are one of the most famous historical attractions in the Shining City. Seeing the historical and cultural value of the place, the discerning merchants developed the area around the summer palace into the most exclusive commercial and tourist area in the imperial capital, and then sold the flour for the price of gold as a matter of course.
This is definitely not an exaggeration. A plate of five-colored muffins, cheesecake for three, and three drinks cost 88 baht. What an auspicious number! Lu Xi's money from the Faceless One hadn't even been covered for a week.
Lu Xi sat on the open-air observation deck, looking at the white marble stone pillars left over from the Ailanli Summer Palace in the distance, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "The emperor's plan to dominate the industry, the sea vows and the alliance, in the end, are still just a little dust of history." ”
This is too literary, Lim is like a squirrel "squeaking" chewing a delicious muffin, while tilting her head to look at Lu Xi inexplicably, Sai Xiliu said helplessly: "Lim, you leave him alone, it's just another convulsion." ”
"Alas, whether it is the fall of the Yanlong Dynasty or the touching love of the last emperor, it is just a little more to the after-dinner conversation for future generations. Of course, what makes me even more angry is that those profiteers actually used other people's love tragedies to hype, and sold flour for gold! Is there any discipline and beard? ”
"So you're struggling with this problem." Sai Xiliu said dissatisfiedly: "Since you have decided to have a treat, don't keep thinking about how much money you have spent." What a hate, this little man. ”
"Do you know what an affordable man from the Gu family is? It's so sweet, girl," Lu Xi couldn't help but say, "But I won't blame you either." A girl who has never seen the world at your age, the man you like must still be the kind of pretentious rich and handsome, pretending to be a scumbag Prince Charming, such as that kind of ......" After speaking, he angrily pouted to the side.
Sai Xiliu glanced over Lu Xi's eyes, but what caught his eye was the back of a blonde man.
The man, with shoulder-length blond hair and a gorgeous moon-white summer dress, sat three tables away from him with his back to him. Just based on the first impression of the back, it should be a handsome blonde guy in the traditional Prince Charming line.
"What, the kind of guy who looks very sassy at first glance, only an ignorant little girl under the age of fifteen will like it." Sai Xiliu said, "What's more, you can only see the back, maybe the person is ugly." ”…,
"Oh? So what kind of genre does Sehiru like? Lu Xi looked at the girl playfully and let out a weird laugh: "Is it really still an iceberg cool man like Red Thunderlight?" Am I right? Am I right? ”
Sai Xiliu's face was slightly red, he glanced at Lu Xi, and said, "Hmph, it's better than a little man who has no discipline, and he can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl." What, who do you have your eye on again? That girl over there? ”
The blonde man also sat a girl at the table, and Sesilio was referring to her. The girl also had blonde hair, but she wore a conservative classical hair at the back of her head. Usually the people who have this kind of hair are old ladies, but the girl is no more than seventeen or eighteen years old, which is too old-fashioned. In addition, the blonde girl wore a drab blue dress, a bit close to the temple nun's dress.
In such a youthful and beautiful flowery age, even if it is an ugly girl who does not look good, it looks too incomprehensible to dress up like this, not to mention that the girl is not only not ugly, but also a rare beauty, with a delicate and pretty face, a pair of dark green eyes that are beautiful and moving, and the cherry red mouth is opening wide, trying to send a large piece of tiramisu cake to her mouth......
The table was already covered with a dazzling variety of pastries, and the girl seemed to have a bottomless pit in her stomach, and her mouth seemed to never stop. The empty plates on the side have been stacked, but the height is still growing indefinitely.
Three minutes later, Lu Xi and Sai Xiliu couldn't help but sweat profusely.
"It's not scientific, she's already eating more than her own volume, right?" Sehireu couldn't help but be stunned, and there was even a hint of imperceptible grief in his tone.
"Isn't it a little envious and jealous to see that people don't care about their bodies at all and eat and drink?" Lu Xi said with a smile.
Sai Xiliu's face turned red again, and he glanced at the other party fiercely. Limu's hand also shook, and put down the cake that was almost forked to his mouth again, his big emerald eyes looked at the two or three empty plates in front of him without blinking, and after a while, he looked at Lu Xi in a daze, and his clear pupils were filled with that kind of Lim-like "indescribable sadness" again.
"I don't want to deprive you of this little happiness!" Lu Xi hurriedly gave the girl a thumbs up, and a hearty smile appeared on her face like a trick, and the teeth at the corners of her mouth were reflected: "Limu's figure is perfect, it doesn't matter if you eat more."
It was also at this time that Lu Xi's comments on others finally attracted the attention of the parties concerned. The man with his back to everyone turned his head, and sure enough, he had a handsome face like a prince charming, and there was a radiant smile on it, which was so sassy that there was nothing to add.
Sai Xiliu couldn't help but shudder, and involuntarily showed a disgusted expression: "What, it's really a guy!" She looked at Lu Xi, but found that the other party's expression was stunned, frightened, dodged, headache, helpless, and self-defeating in a few seconds, until the final cloud was light and light, which was even more wonderful than the popular works of first-class pantomime masters.
"What are you doing here?"
Lu Xi didn't answer, but the blonde man had already stood up with surprise on his face and walked over quickly: "Lucy, my friend, this is really where the end of the world doesn't meet?" ”
PS: Who is this girl? There are a lot of hints, so it shouldn't be too difficult, right? There is a prize for guessing it.
