"Sister, why is the Earl's Mansion so bleak and there are so few people?" Lan Ling still expressed the question in his heart.
Suoning Bing said: "My father has been seriously ill for many years. In order to treat his body, he spent countless money. In addition, the royal city is extravagant and the nobles spend a lot of money on travel. Sauron failed to live up to his expectations and lost a lot of family property. In recent years, the family property can only go in and out, so the Earl's Mansion
It’s already very difficult financially.”
Lan Ling said: "Isn't there still Tianshui City territory? It's four to five hundred miles across, and the annual taxes must be astronomical."
In fact, Lan Ling's words were completely superficial. But now he completely regarded Suo Ningbing as Lancôme's sister in his heart, and no longer regarded himself as an outsider.
Suoning Bing said bitterly: "Since my father left the territory to come to the Royal City for treatment, the profits from the Tianshui City territory have not been handed over to the Earl's Mansion for five years."
Lan Ling said: "Are they going to rebel?"
Suoning Bing said: "Now the master is weak and the servant is strong. We are the ones asking others. We can only turn a blind eye to some things."
Lan Ling said: "It is very dangerous for the master to leave the territory for a long time and leave it to his retainers to manage it."
Suoning Bing said: "It is already very dangerous, and the retainers in the territory are already ready to make a move. This time Sauron disappeared and did not return, so they almost celebrated each other."
Lan Ling said: "Then the foundation of the Suo family is in danger? There is a royal family outside who is watching with eager eyes, and there are retainers inside who are causing trouble."
Suoning Bing nodded and said: "Therefore, Guan will let you inherit the title as soon as possible, and then immediately return to the Tianshui City territory to take up the post of city lord. If it takes too long, it will lead to long nights and many dreams."
Lan Ling said: "Do you have to inherit the title before you can serve as the Lord of Tianshui City?"
Suoning Bing said: "Of course, this level must be passed. You must be canonized by the royal family before you can legitimately become the Lord of Tianshui City."
Lan Ling said: "Then when can I be canonized by the royal family and inherit the title?"
Suoning Bing said: "You can inherit the title after you successfully graduate from Wangcheng College. Every heir to a noble family must accept six years of study at Wangcheng College and successfully pass the graduation exam before they can inherit the title."
"Is it difficult?" Lanling asked.
Suoning Bing said: "You only need to pass the four subjects of the graduation exam. Anyone who has studied normally for six years can pass it smoothly. However, after all, you are not Sauron. You have not studied for a day, so it will be difficult... So, maybe you
A one-year extension is needed to successfully graduate.”
Lan Ling said: "But aren't we in a very urgent situation? The retainers in the fief are already ready to make a move."
Suoning Bing said: "There is no way, this level must be passed. Moreover, the royal family has been relaxed a lot in the past few decades. According to the previous system, one must obtain the best results in the exam and obtain the title of Noble Warrior
Only with medals can one inherit the title."
Lan Ling said: "Is it possible that I can graduate normally without deferring for one year?"
Before Suo Ningbing could speak, Ye Jingyu said: "It's impossible. There are less than five months until the graduation exam of Wangcheng College. You have to start from scratch for a total of four subjects. The miss said that it would be postponed for one year, which is already very difficult.
It depends on your talent. According to Master Sauron's virtue, you may not be able to graduate even if you delay it for three years."
Lan Ling is indeed ignorant and fearless. Although these noble children have only been studying at Wangcheng College for six years, their families have begun to train them in all aspects since they were four or five years old. Therefore, they have studied for more than ten years.
Year.
And Lan Ling had to start everything from scratch. In less than half a year, it was nothing more than a dream to complete other people's more than ten years of civil and military studies.
…
For the next full month, Lan Ling stayed in Count Sauron's memorial hall in the name of filial piety, and even ate and drank there to make up for his previous unfilial piety.
In fact, it was Suoning Bing who used this period of time to provide him with extra lessons about the basic civilization knowledge of this world and Sauron's social groups, so as to prevent Lan Ling from encountering acquaintances whom he did not know at all after leaving the Earl's Mansion.
The secret is exposed, or after entering the Royal City Academy, you know nothing about the world.
"Sauron is unsatisfactory, has neither knowledge nor skills, and is incompetent in both civil and military affairs. The only thing he is good at is pleasing girls." Suoning Bing said: "So, it doesn't matter even if your grades are worse at Wangcheng College."
Lan Ling said: "Well, does he have many girlfriends?"
Suoning Bing nodded and said, "Yes...a lot."
Lan Ling said: "How many are there?"
Suoning Bing's face turned red and she said, "Maybe there are two digits, or even... more."
Double digits? Or even more? Lan Ling is really going crazy, and his scalp is numb.
"Sister, I...have never been in love since I was a child. Sauron has such a rich love history. If his lovers come to visit me, I will definitely reveal the secret." Lan Ling said.
Suo Ningbing said sheepishly: "Sauron likes the new and hates the old. Most women are just having fun, so they shouldn't come to him very often. However... there are a few women, so you still have to pay attention."
Lan Ling said nervously: "Sister, tell me."
Suoning Bing said: "The first one is called Gui Qinshao, who is Sauron's fiancée. She is the daughter of the lord of Linhai City. She has both civil and military skills and is very famous. She looks down on Sauron very much. If you meet her, you don't need to worry too much.
Because she will take the initiative to avoid Sauron."
That's good, Lan Ling nodded.
Suoning Bing said: "The second one is called Princess Ning. She is a very beautiful and very smart woman, known as the most talented woman in the royal family. Sauron is very obsessed with her, and he once pursued her without knowing the heaven and earth. As a result,
suffered great humiliation and
A blow. The reason why he went to the Tianmo Mountains was because he heard that Princess Zhenning was very eager to get the ancient dragon seal rubbings, and the legend of this rubbing was in the Tianmo Mountains. So Sauron went on an adventure, hoping to find the dragon seal rubbings for Zhenning.
Amazing."
After listening to this paragraph, Lan Ling instinctively smelled a conspiracy. Sauron's death may have been planned by some people.
Suoning Bing said: "Zhenning is very smart, so if you meet her, you must behave very reasonably, otherwise she will definitely find the flaw."
Lan Ling nodded and said: "I know, I should know what to do with this kind of woman."
Lan Ling is not telling lies. He and his sister have been dependent on each other since he was a child. He is used to the warmth and coldness of the world. Although he is kind at heart, he has never been afraid to speculate on others with the greatest malice. He is still good enough to deal with bad people.
Suoning Bing continued: "You should pay special attention to the third woman. Her name is Yan Naier. She is very beautiful, has high martial arts skills, and has a particularly fierce temper. Sauron spent a lot of effort pursuing her.
Lan Ling probably thought about the ending of this relationship. Sauron, a bastard, would definitely not give up the entire forest for a tree.
Suoning Bing said: "After falling in love, Yan Naier frequently forced marriages, and the whole city was in turmoil. But... Sauron still gave up in the beginning, and fell in love with Princess Zhenning, which made Yan Naier sad.
He was so distraught that he left the royal city and his whereabouts are currently unknown."
Lan Ling couldn't help but said: "This girl is very good, Sauron is such a bastard."
"Yes..." Suoning Bing said: "Yan Naier's father disliked Sauron very much, not to mention that Sauron already had a fiancée. Naier had a falling out with her parents because of Sauron, but she was still killed.
Sauron was always in trouble and finally gave up. From a woman's perspective, I really hate Sauron's behavior."
Lan Ling said: "Then if I meet Yan Naier in the future, I will be in big trouble."
Suoning Bing nodded and said: "Yes, I dare not say how Yan Naier will react when she meets you. She may even draw her sword and hit you directly. Her martial arts is very high."
Suddenly, Lan Ling shivered again and felt a lot of pressure.
Suo Ningbing comforted her again: "Yan Naier has very good martial arts skills, so if you encounter her beating you, just pretend to be pitiful and don't say anything and don't fight back. She loves Sauron very much and won't let her go."
He hurt you."
"Okay, okay..." Lan Ling said with difficulty: "Are there any other women who need my attention?"
Suo Ningbing shook his head and said: "I don't know. Because I like to discipline, Sauron doesn't go home for a long time. I don't know some things about him. But I vaguely heard that he has a relationship with a female teacher in the college.
It’s not normal, I was even caught by someone else’s husband.”
Lan Ling is really going crazy. In this case, he will not be able to live in peace even if he goes to Wangcheng College in the future. This Sauron is really a bastard. He actually hooked up with his teacher and was married to a married woman. He was caught and raped.
