August is full of warm clouds and rain, caressing the lovers' cheeks, making people's hearts flutter and lingering. The summer rain falls lingeringly, and the breeze touches it without leaving a trace, and a few days go by in an instant.
The high priest's mansion was still heavily guarded, and the temple warriors held torches and patrolled day and night. In the house where Shulot stayed, where the firelight flickered, it was dark again, and there was a faint fragrance floating around.
The moonlight is like water, flowing down from the open ceiling, giving the simple bedroom a clear glow. A beautiful red-edged stone lotus blooms quietly under the moonlit night. The succulent leaves are elegant and light, stretched out in layers, and appear
The pink red edge is dignified and graceful at first glance, but after looking at it for a long time, it has a silent charm.
"Charming spiritual shadow...the goddess under the moonlit night..."
Shulot was neatly dressed and sitting in his bedroom. He stared at the flowers in front of him and whispered softly.
"Huayueye..."
Huayueye, also known as red-edged Echeveria, is a succulent plant native to Mexico, belonging to the genus Echeveria. Its leaves are slender, with red edges, and its overall shape is like a graceful red-edged lotus. It was extremely popular in later generations. And in
Mexican Union, this is also a favorite flower of nobles and can be planted in a house with plenty of light.
Naxiu was wearing a short dress, standing beside the moonlit night, quietly waiting for His Highness to rest. The weather was hot in August, she had short hair, and her feet were bare. The short dress on her body could only cover her vital parts, which made people unable to help but admire
To explore the eyes.
Shulot's eyes moved slightly and he looked away. His beautiful face, long and tight arms, supple and flexible waist, and long and powerful legs all fell into his eyes one by one. The graceful curves up and down were covered by
The outline of the short clothes became more and more vivid, making people imagine. The young king paused, looked away as if nothing had happened, and admired the flowers again.
Summer flowers are in full bloom, lingering in front of you, exuding a charming fragrance and swaying with an alluring posture. They are sultry without any words.
Naxiu blinked her eyes, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She stood tall and adjusted her posture silently to cater to the flickering bonfire, making her attractive features more prominent. As a priestess who had been trained since childhood, she had more than a dozen styles.
The method can hide herself and reduce the sense of physical presence. But at this moment, she did the opposite, deliberately attracting His Highness's attention.
Shulot looked away, his face calm. Naxiu's arrival only lasted a few days, but it quietly changed his daily life. It was like a drop of ink falling into the cup, blending in quietly, infiltrating the clear life.
In the past few days, the first thing Naxiu did was to take over the role of Samurai Commander Bertard and take charge of His Highness's close guard. Regarding this request, the Samurai Commander initially had some objections, mainly because he doubted Naxiu's fighting skills.
skill.
However, the young Naxiu was full of confidence and threatened with a smile.
"Dear Holy Eagle Warrior Commander, the gods bless all things and allow them to have their own strengths. When fighting on the battlefield, I will not be as good as you; when fighting in the tent, you will not be as good as me."
Hearing this, the calm samurai commander raised his eyebrows for a moment. Then, under the witness of Shulot, the two of them held daggers and fought at close quarters in the narrow room. The one who was the first to pierce the vital part of the clothes was the winner.
The daggers alternated, moving as fast as a falcon. This dangerous battle only lasted for ten breaths, but it made Shulott sweat on his back. Within five steps, everyone was wiped out. No matter who the two of them were,
Their martial arts skills are much better than his...
The final result was unexpected and reasonable. Just as Naxiu said, she relied on agility and dexterity to be better in the narrow room. Bertard nodded calmly and gave up, handing over the approaching personal guard, but
Still responsible for His Highness's travel safety.
Then, Naxiu arranged for several professional assassins trained by the High Priest's Palace to be mixed among the guarding warriors as a secret line of supervision. Several professional pharmacists were always on standby, following His Highness, with common toxins prepared in their hands.
Antidote. His Highness's diet is also strictly managed and prepared by specialized waiters.
In the wild tropical America, there are too many strange herbs and poisons, which are often incurable, so we must be careful and guard against them.
Later, in addition to the close guard, Naxiu's second job was to recruit the spies from the high priest's house to complete the intelligence team in Shulot's hands.
In the Mexica Alliance, the systematic intelligence organization can be roughly divided into three branches. The first branch is the military intelligence scout who is affiliated with the king and conducts external spying, the long-distance businessman Pochitka. After the Mayan businessman Tikalo was absorbed by the alliance, he
He became a glorious Pochitka, traveling to various countries with the convenience of his identity as a merchant, and obtaining information through trade contacts.
The second branch is also affiliated with the king and mainly conducts internal spying. Avitt served as the intelligence chief of the alliance before he succeeded to the throne. This was an arrangement made by the previous king before his death. And he succeeded him.
After taking office, in order to implement centralization reforms and monitor the great nobles whose interests had been damaged, the Alliance Secret Guard was specially formed to strengthen internal intelligence supervision.
Xuelote didn't know much about the alliance's secret guards. He only knew that most of them existed as warriors from various countries. They were loyal to the great nobles of each country on the surface, but secretly served the central royal family. The heads of the families in the mountains of Trokan State were more likely to
, it is inseparable from the Secret Guard.
The co-head of the alliance Pochitka and the Secret Guard is Chief Intelligence Officer Gillim.
The third branch is the group of priests under the high priests, scattered around the country. Preaching priests have the function of confessing and can obtain secrets from confession; ascetic priests travel everywhere, are trusted and respected by the people, and can also obtain a lot of information.
In addition, the Alliance advocates abstinence, and adultery is punishable by death. The female priests in various temples are the only place where Alliance warriors can get pleasure in an open and honest manner outside of their families, and are naturally also an important source of intelligence.
In this barbaric era of war, battles and deaths can be seen everywhere. Roads are blocked, bandits are rampant, barbarian tribes attack and plunder, and life is like a waste. An effective intelligence organization consumes a lot of money. It must continuously invest manpower and financial resources to train professional talents.
Extraordinary states can afford it.
In other words, if you don't have money or people, don't think about doing intelligence. It's better to raise a few more warriors.
The Kingdom in the Lake has just emerged, and the intelligence team is not complete. Xiulote recruited some copper merchants to serve as external Bochitka, and placed some personal bodyguards in the army to monitor the various kingdom legions. As for
The kingdom has just invested resources and begun to establish a more rigorous internal intelligence organization. The name of the organization was drawn up by Shulot, and it is called "Secret Guard" as opposed to the Alliance Secret Guard.
Naxiu was born in a temple in the Holy City. She underwent strict training since childhood and was raised by the female priests. Now, under the orders of the high priest, she became Shulot's shadow slave and also served as the "secret guard"
The first generation of responsible persons.
In addition to close guarding and intelligence management, Naxiu also has a third function...
Thinking of this, Xiulote had a headache. In the past few days, Naxiu had been by his side, accompanying him day and night like a shadow, almost never leaving ten steps away. And once night came, the elegant beauty stood tall and became mature.
The fruits swayed before his eyes, allowing him to pick and choose them, testing his determination.
"cough."
Shulot coughed slightly and looked at the woman who was as charming as a moonlit night.
"Naxiu, I want to rest..."
"Your Highness, it's late at night."
Naxiu raised her lips, smiled charmingly, and her voice was as sultry as smoke. She took two steps forward, gently stretched out her bare hands, untied Shulot's robe, and then touched her strong chest.
"Please let the shadow slave come and help you rest..."
