"Your Excellency, please go this way!" Mei Ji, the maid sent by the Lord of Guangming City, respectfully led the way.
Jia Zhengjin observed the structure of the castle while walking. When he passed the largest room, he happened to see several maids opening the door and coming out with rags and brooms in their hands.
However, his eyes were attracted by a shining golden treasure box next to the bed.
The treasure chest is about half a meter high and one meter long, with golden lines all over its body, giving it a feeling that it is only for rich people.
"Lord Earl?" Mei Ji turned around and saw Jia Zhengjin dumbfounded, so she walked back, "That's the Lord's lounge over there, and the toilet is over here!"
"Oh, oh!" Jia Zhengjin hurriedly withdrew his eyes and followed Mei Ji forward. But his thoughts completely stopped in the city lord's room!
"Your Majesty, the toilet is here!" Mei Ji brought Jia Zhengjin to the door and lowered her head and said to him.
"Hmm!" Jia Zhengjin was still thinking about the city lord's treasure chest. There was no way! When playing games, opening the treasure chest would often yield good things, and sometimes even artifacts could be obtained. So as soon as he saw the treasure chest, he basically couldn't leave.
Move on!
However, opening a treasure chest obviously requires a corresponding treasure chest key, and the city lord's treasure chest key must be on his person.
Let the city lord hand over the treasure chest and keys on his own initiative?
Even if you pretend to be an earl, that's impossible, right?
Kill him?
Who knows whether the city lord is strong or weak? If he is a master of concealment, wouldn't it be terrible for him?
There must be a lot of good things in that treasure chest, right?
Is it possible to unlock an artifact?
I have random thoughts in my mind, and I don’t know why I came out after going to the toilet.
Returning to the hall, the Lord of Guangming City immediately came over to greet him: "Your Majesty, are you ready?"
"Hmm~" Jia Zhengjin pretended to be satisfied.
"Sir, what do you think of Mei Ji?" the Lord of Guangming City asked with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Jia Zhengjin looked sideways at him.
The Lord of Guangming City showed a smile that only a man could understand: "This girl has received special education since she was a child, and she is very good in that field!"
Jia Zhengjin would be a fool if he didn't understand. I didn't expect the Lord of Guangming City to be so perverted. The girl just now was only fourteen or fifteen years old, right? She was educated from a young age, and judging from his expression of wanting to be beaten, he must have enjoyed it a long time ago!
He was not in the habit of sharing with others, so he immediately shook his head: "Thank you City Lord for your kindness! But it's inconvenient for me to take my wife with me!"
"Yes, yes!" The city lord suddenly realized, "The countess is as beautiful as a flower. Of course, the count will not be tempted by someone like Mei Ji! Blame me! Blame me..."
He did not doubt the age gap between Jia Zhengjin and Connie. After all, he had seen even bigger differences and even those of different races.
The more he talked to him, the more he felt that the city lord seemed to disrespect women. Jia Zhengjin was not very happy. Because when the city lord talked about women, it was as if he was talking about a prop or a commodity, especially the maids around him. This was even more true.
!
So Jia Zhengjin was even more determined to take away his treasure chest, but how to take it away was a question!
The two chatted for a while, and basically the Lord of Guangming City was flattering Jia Zhengjin. And between the lines, he was basically asking about the possibility of promotion.
It turns out that he has been the city lord of Guangming City for such a long time and has made great achievements in battle! He has wiped out countless bandits over the years and has written numerous reports to the king, but the king has never sent an official document about his promotion.
The Lord of Guangming City does not want to just be a small city lord for the rest of his life, although Guangming City is actually one of the best cities in the Xiongfeng Empire. What he wants to be is the Lord of the Guangming Territory with a larger territory, commanding more lands and cities!
Apparently he believed that if the Earl in front of him could write a letter recommending himself to the king, there would still be great hope! It would be better if powerful forces could join forces! After all, the man in front of him is not that kind of small lord. I heard that his territory is very powerful.
The largest in the empire!
Jia Zhengjin didn't understand the inner thoughts of the Lord of Guangming City, but he was certain of his ambition. Unexpectedly, after losing his army, this guy not only didn't want to think about how to deal with the situation, but also had time to think about other things. He was also drunk!
But he doesn't care at all what the Lord of Guangming City is thinking. What he cares about is how to get the key to the treasure chest from the opponent!
So he pretended to understand on the surface and nodded repeatedly to indicate that there was no problem. Even when the Lord of Guangming City asked if he could write a letter to recommend him, he agreed first.
Regarding his attitude, the Lord of Guangming City beamed with joy, as if he had seen the real light!
The two parties had a great time chatting and soon became "as close as brothers".
"My Lord Earl, it's such a pleasure to talk to you!" The Lord of Guangming City got the answer he wanted and stood up with satisfaction, "I will order a grand dinner for you and your wife, please be sure to appreciate it!
"
"No problem!" Jia Zhengjin agreed to everything first.
"You must be tired after traveling a long way here! I'm really sorry that I kept you talking for so long!" The Lord of Guangming City waved, "Mei Ji!"
"Here!" The maid named Mei Ji came over immediately.
"Take the Earl to his room to rest!"
"Yes! Lord Earl, please come with me!"
"Okay, please!"
Jia Zhengjin first followed Mei Ji to the room arranged for him by the Lord of Guangming City. He found that it was right next to Connie and Liz's room. At the same time, the rooms of Tina, Perrin, Christina, and the elf girls were also nearby.
However, except for Connie, the "Countess", who was taken care of, the other girls were taken to the room. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, their status was that of a retinue.
"Tina, you didn't reveal anything, did you?" After letting Mei Ji leave, Jia Zhengjin immediately went to see his wife. What he was worried about, of course, was whether the identities of the elf girls had been exposed.
"No," Tina gently held his hand, "but I'm a little jealous!"
"What's wrong?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"Obviously I am your wife, but everyone calls that old woman Countess!" Tina pouted with an unhappy look on her face, "I'm not happy!"
Jia Zhengjin was dumbfounded: "This is just acting! And you are asked to be a countess, do you have the temperament?"
"That's right..." Tina lowered her head. She also knew that she was a country girl and could not pretend to be a countess.
"Okay!" Jia Zhengjin smiled and stroked his lovely wife's golden hair, "Anyway, I'm just pretending here for a few days, and I'll leave soon! By the way, I just saw that the city lord has a big treasure chest..."
