Of course...... Of course...... 'Rick was thinking about whether he should say that he had made a mistake and was assigned to the army by the queen, or whether he should be rewarded with a fief by the queen because of his meritorious service, and after thinking about it, Rick said with a smile: "Of course, because of the merit of this extermination of the Tianluo Sect, the queen rewarded me, not only gave me all the spoils, but also rewarded me with an entire city and a large area of land north of the Divine Seal Fortress as a fief, I am now an earl with a fief, how about it, amazing!?" β
'A whole city? Chrissy was a well-informed person, so she was trapped for hundreds of years, but her knowledge still existed, so she immediately saw the problem and asked, 'What's your name?' How is it possible for a single earl to be given an entire city and still be near the Divine Fortress? β
Long Lan, who had been standing behind Chrissy, had already heard the problem, stabbed the other swordsman beside him, and whispered: "The large area of land before the Divine Seal Fortress...... ...... to the north, a strange smile began to spread among the swordsmen, and the others noticed the strange atmosphere, but they didn't know what the problem was for a while.
"It's called Xiangcheng, I heard that there is a small flower called Ziyue in Xiangcheng, which has a pleasant fragrance, and when I come back, I will definitely bring a big bouquet for one of you." Rick said happily, "After a while, we will move to Xiangcheng together, and I have heard that the scenery is good, the products are abundant, and there are many beautiful people...... Beautiful attractions, truly a fairyland on earth. These are all things he has just heard from the palace guards, and as for the large crowd, they were originally beautiful women. But considering that there are beautiful women around me now. So Rick changed it very cleverly.
'Xiangcheng...... Puff...... 'Peach Blossom Red, sitting across from Rick and drinking tea. She squirted out the water directly from her mouth and washed Rick's hair for free, but she still couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think Majesty is just teasing you!" β
However, Ao Ling'er seemed to care more about this opportunity to go out and play, so regardless of other people's doubts, she said positively: "Okay, okay, just go out, it's too boring to stay here." As for the four phoenixes, they are basically just listening. Expressing any opinions, but judging by the smirk on their faces, it was clear that they knew that the fiefdom was "problematic".
Rick obviously cared more about Peach Blossom's words, and as for Ao Ling'er, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, Rick didn't pay attention to it at all, and just nervously asked Peach Blossom Hongdao..'Why? How can you tease me? Her Majesty the Queen did what she said, you see, even the edict was given to me. β
'Xiangcheng is not considered the territory of the Blue Moon Empire,' Long Lan suddenly explained, "Although it was true before. But since the four northern countries continued to attack the fortress of the gods a few decades ago, all the land north of the fortress. It has become the territory of the four northern countries. Xiangcheng is also relatively famous because of its special location, and there have always been contradictions between the four northern countries, so Xiangcheng and some surrounding villages have not been clearly assigned to which country to manage, so nominally speaking, north of the Fengshen Fortress, Xiangcheng is indeed a city of the empire. But in fact, Xiangcheng has been divided by various forces, and in recent years, the Fengshen Fortress has been relatively peaceful, and Xiangcheng has become prosperous. If Childe wants to make it your territory, you can nominal, but it doesn't have any real benefits, and it's a joke to say it. Long Lan explained so much in one breath that everyone else began to laugh out loud, and Rick was like being poured a basin of ice water from head to foot in the middle of winterβhis whole body was cold.
'How so?' Then ......' all Rick's excitement turned into frustration, and he became really sad, and said: 'I thought that this time Her Majesty the Queen really rewarded me, and even had the territory, but it turned out that it was nothing. β
The women hurriedly relieved.
Rick's personality is always cheerful, and the fact that the territory has become a castle in the sky, Rick was only sad for a while, and his heart was let go, and he just turned his head to see the treasure chest looted from the Tianluo Sect's stronghold, so he began to be happy again, and said: "It's okay, anyway, I didn't have it before, and now it's not good, at least this time I made a lot of money." β
Rick wanted to give up the discussion like this, but the others didn't, first of all, Ao Ling'er said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of?" Since Xiangcheng is nominally an empire, then the edict of Her Majesty the Queen will be valid, and when you get to the Shenfeng Fortress, you can go directly to receive the city, and whoever is not convinced, we will beat him until he is convinced! β
In a word, it ignited the desire of the women to speak, and almost all of them agreed with this point of view, and the most strange thing was that even Qinglu and Caifeng joined the discussion, so what Rick originally wanted to say, but it was diluted and finally concluded that the territory must be recovered, and the consequences can not be considered at all.
More than a hundred years ago, the new queen of the Blue Moon Empire succeeded to the throne, and at this time, the Blue Moon Empire was facing challenges from neighboring countries, and the most dangerous of them was, of course, the north was constantly at war, when the north was in the era of chaos, and tribes would rise and die almost every moment. It was against this background that the Divine Fortress was built by the Queen of the Blue Moon at that time, and the purpose of its construction at that time was to resist the continuous harassment and attacks from the north.
At that time, for the sake of topography and location, the Shenfeng Fortress was built in a position similar to the mountain pass corridor, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was originally a natural danger, a husband when the geographical location of the invincible, after the addition of the all-stone castle, it is more important, it can be said that the Shenfeng Fortress has not fallen since it was established, even in the most sinister period of the environment a few decades ago, the Shenfeng Fortress still relied on its own unique geographical advantages, and has been holding on until the coalition forces of the northern countries were forced to withdraw because of supply difficulties.
Although the Divine Fortress was built, because when it was built, a large territory was still the territory of the Blue Moon Empire, so in essence, the Divine Fortress could not be regarded as a border line, and the Divine Fortress was about fifty miles in the north, which was still considered the territory of the Blue Moon Empire, and such a territory was the territory that the queen "rewarded" to Rick. And in fact, whether it is on the map of the Blue Moon Empire or on many maps in the north, such a range does clearly have all the words of the Blue Moon Empire.
Facing the map, Rick finally found the location of his territory clearly with the help of the women, but Rick's previous excitement and excitement have completely disappeared, replaced by discouragement and helplessness, because in this critical period, it is indeed almost impossible for Rick to receive Xiangcheng and a large area of territory outside the Divine Seal Fortress.
In an instant, Rick's long-standing territory became a real castle in the air, and the gap in Rick's mood can be imagined, and with the intensification of this gap, another problem faced by Rick began to become the focus of everyone's discussion: who should accompany Rick to the north, and which people would stay in Bo Yingte?
"Why don't you all go, the more people there are, the more lively!" Ao Ling'er said.
Chrissy couldn't help frowning slightly, because looking at Rick's expression, it seemed impossible to bring too many people there, and she was the de facto leader of this mansion that could be placed alongside Qin Xin, so in order to take care of this huge family, she was definitely not allowed to go.
Peach Blossom coincided with her thoughts, or rather, she showed a kind of empathetic generosity, and she was the first to speak: "The old peach house is being decorated, and I can't leave." β
Gyokuro, who had not spoken, ignored everyone's words and said simply, "I will always be by Childe's side." β
Su Qiong glanced at Rick and said, "I'm going to follow Childe too." β
Alva watched everyone speak quietly, and did not express any opinions, Qinglu Caifeng and the maids, like Alva, did not express any opinions, but looking at their demeanor, there will definitely be no one who wants to stay in Bo Yingte, after all, to them, Rick is a qiΔ.
After thinking about it for a while, Rick said, "Your Majesty's order is very urgent, I may have to leave early tomorrow morning, and I can't even participate in the Celestial Festival...... Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the date with Stelle, and discussed that she would come to live after the Celestial Festival, and couldn't help but feel a little lost, and his tone was also lowered, and said..'Besides, this time I was assigned to the Divine Seal Fortress, no matter the environment or life, it will definitely not be as comfortable as Bo Yingte, so there can't be many people who go with me, and His Majesty XiΓ doesn't agree with me to take everyone away." β
After a pause, Rick collected his mood and said, "So I decided to do this, Gyokuro, Egret and Chrissy, and the three of you will come with me, and the others will stay in Boyent and protect everyone." As soon as the words were spoken, Chrissy was about to object, but when she saw Gyokuro's slightly expectant gaze, she had no choice but to remain silent. Gyokuro was obviously afraid that if Rick could leave her Chrissy, it would be very questionable whether Gyokuro would be able to follow her. Chrissy knew that Gyokuro had a deep affection for Rick, and after thinking about it, she felt that with so many Nymph guards guarding at home, there could be no big problems here, so in the end, she acquiesced to Rick's arrangement.
After that, the first to express his opinion was actually Alva, and the phoenix's face in Rick's mouth did not change in the slightest, and he said lightly: "It just so happens that I still have a lot of things to do, and the progress of the work will be faster when you are not there." β
Sifeng and Caifeng's opinions were the greatest, and Rick had to persuade them with great difficulty: "You can't leave, because now you are the most powerful force to protect everyone in the mansion, and you can't leave the matter of the old peach house now, if you leave, what will happen to the bonus?" The moon attendant also needs to pretend to be a bonus all the time. β
Leng Ying, who had not spoken, suddenly asked, "What about Sister Long Lan and the other sisters?" (To be continued......)
