Chapter 23: Enclosure (Routine Ballot)
A dark magician has been lurking around Princess Rui Xue, you say it has nothing to do with the royal family, would others believe?
The face of Emperor Harnos turned very unsightly, if the Norden family insisted on linking this matter to the imperial family, many people would associate the undead magician's affair with this matter, fearing that the entire Golden Leaf Empire would be shaken.
"Your Majesty, at that time, this witch took advantage of Huai An and Rui Xue's relationship to cast a dark magic spell on Huai An, the Nine-Yin Soul Nail. If it hadn't been discovered in time, I'm afraid Huai An would have become a puppet." Kottie Nord said slowly, his turbid eyes flashing with killing intent for an instant.
"This matter, I will definitely give the Norden family an explanation." Khanmos the Great Emperor clenched his fists tightly, he knew that since Old Kotti had said it in front of him, he must have a purpose.
"The Nord family will always be loyal to Your Majesty, and I believe this matter has nothing to do with Your Majesty at all. By the way, shouldn't we arrange for my five grandsons to marry Princess Mingyue as soon as possible? This old bone of mine is afraid it won't last much longer." Korti Nord's eyes became cloudy again, as if the killing intent just now was just an illusion.
Hanmo Dadi cursed in his heart: This old fox, just pretend then.
"You don't joke, I think ten days later, let's first settle the engagement between Qi Bei and Ming Yue. As for the wedding, it's a bit complicated, we'll discuss it together when the time comes. I still have some things to deal with, you can withdraw." Emperor Hanmo said, standing up and turning into the back hall, during which he still didn't look at Qi Bei.
Zi Bei sat on a sturdy horse-drawn carriage, facing him was the drowsy homeowner, Korti Nod.
The carriage was silent, and the grandfather and grandson seemed to have a natural gap between them.
For the Nuo De family, even if the master of the house acts like a toothless old tiger, under the prestige accumulated over the years, who is not trembling with fear.
However, for Qi Bei, his soul and the master of the house were strangers. Even if it was the soul of this body before, the memories of the master were all about awe, let alone affection, not even a bit existed.
The biggest difference between now and before is that in the past, Qi Bei would have been extremely cautious if he were facing Korti Nord, not daring to move a muscle. Now, although Qi Bei doesn't speak, his demeanor is one of laziness, as if the person sitting across from him was just an ordinary old man. This is a difference in mentality.
"What are you planning?" Korti Nod suddenly asked, his half-open dim old eyes staying on Ziqi Bei.
"Plan? Well, does eating and waiting for death count?" Zhi Bei cracked a smile.
Kerodi Nuo De seems to be in a good mood, saying to himself: "The imperial capital is a muddy water, after you get engaged with Princess Ming Yue, go to your fiefdom."
"Do I have a fief?" Zhi Bei was taken aback. As the eldest son of the Nuo De family, he was born as a third-class viscount, but he had no memory of having a fief.
"We didn't have it before, but we do now." said Cody Nord.
"Where is it? How big a place?" Zhi Bei's face was full of expectation. Enclosing the land, wasn't that just like being an earth emperor? He liked it.
"Xī Líng Chéng, plus the surrounding villages and towns, is as big as half of the Imperial Capital." said Korti Nord.
Zi Bei Zhang's mouth was wide open, and his saliva almost flowed out. Half of the imperial capital, that was already quite large.
Wait!
Zi Bei scratched his head, Xiling City, seems quite familiar.
After he thoroughly rummaged through his memories, a handsome face suddenly fell, damn it, isn't this a scam?
Xī Líng Chéng although said is Jīn Yè Huáng Cháo's territory range, but in fact it is a chaotic city of three no administration.
Due to its proximity to the Beastman Empire and the Wilderness of Adventure Paradise, Xiling City is home to a diverse population of humans, beastmen, half-elf hybrids, dwarves, and other major ethnic groups, attracting adventurers from all over.
It is said that in Xiling City, hundreds of people die every day, and after the valuables on their bodies are looted, they are thrown out of the city to feed wild beasts.
In that place, it's a big problem just to survive, let alone become a powerful lord who can make decisions with a single word.
So, when Qi Bei goes there, establishing order is already a big problem, how will he have time to find and pursue women with extreme yin aura?
"Can we change places?" Zhi Bei said with a bitter face.
"Not allowed."
"So a city of this size should at least send me two full battalions of Black Armor Army." Qi Bei said, two battalions are eight hundred people, their combat power is quite terrifying.
"One hundred Black Armor Troops."
"The First Battalion of the Black Armor Army."
"Two hundred Black Armor Troops."
"Three hundred..."
"Two hundred and fifty..."
"Deal!"
The grandfather and grandson were actually haggling like businessmen, it's unbelievable if you tell others.
Two hundred and fifty? Zhi Bei thought for a moment about the final number, rolled his eyes, fine, he was two hundred and fifty.
Actually, Zhi Bei initially thought that having a hundred Black Armor Army would be good enough for him, being able to have 250 was already beyond his expectations.
Although Xiling City is chaotic, it seems to be a good place for Qi Bei. At least the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and there are many floating populations and sources of information.
Since I've come to this world and have that mysterious dragon mark on me, if I don't do something big, it would be a waste of crossing over.
Corti. Norder saw the ambition flashing in Zibei's eyes and thought, "My grandson, you've given me a surprise, can you bring an even bigger one?"
……
……
Engaged? With Qi Bei?
The bright moon princess hugged the small dog-like unicorn, and for a moment, she felt a flash of humiliation and anger in her heart, but she quickly calmed down.
"Very well, I agree." Princess Mingyue said to Emperor Hanmo.
"It is the Emperor's debt to you, but it was only an engagement, and soon you will be going to Tongtian Mountain. The real wedding ceremony will never come." said Khanmos the Great.
"I know, and the Norden family knows it too, that all they want is just this name." Princess Mingyue said calmly, she saw through everything, but there was one more thing she didn't say, even if she wouldn't become Qi Bei's real wife, she would still have to bear the name of Qi Bei's wife for a lifetime, unless the Norden family was erased from this world.
"Feng Jia's little girl has arrived in the imperial capital and hasn't gone to visit the Nuo De family. I know you two have a good relationship, so find some time to go see her." Emperor Han Mo suddenly said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Princess Mingyue responded, understanding the Emperor's intention. However, if there was even a slight possibility, he also wanted to prevent the marriage between the Nuo De family and the Feng family. Since Feng Ruoyun had secretly come to the imperial capital, it could be inferred that she might not be satisfied with her engagement to Huan An Nuo De.
After Khanmos left, a mysterious figure reappeared behind Princess Mingyue.
"If you don't want to be engaged to that little brat, I can go kill him." A fleeting shadowy voice sounded.
"I've promised, and since I've promised, I'll definitely do it. You hope that you won't act arbitrarily." Princess Mingyue said as she stroked the smooth fur of the single-horned young beast.
