…
Sauron's answer was tantamount to rejecting the good intentions of the cabinet and the headquarters. Suddenly, the faces of the bosses on both sides became ugly.
The king smiled and said: "Yan Wuji, Turing Tuo, it seems that you two are not attractive enough. Our future Earl Sauron is not willing to work under you."
Yan Wuji, the prime minister of the Nulang Kingdom, is an earl.
Turing Tuo, the first marshal of the Nulang Kingdom and the first leader of the military.
These two men, both civil and military, are the right-hand men of the king, the pillars of the Nulang Kingdom, especially Duke Turingtuo, who is regarded as the military god of the Nulang Kingdom. In the past twenty years, the Nulang Kingdom has expanded several times.
He conquered most of the thousands of miles of territory.
Although the world does not rank military force, everyone vaguely regards Turing Tuo as the number one master in the army.
Of course, Turing Duo also has another identity, that is Turing Duo's father.
This mysterious school beauty has completely inherited his father's martial arts talent. Currently, in the entire Wangcheng Academy, except for Ling Ao, it is estimated that no one is her enemy.
If there were no accidents, she and Ling Ao would break through the dragon warriors and become the world's top masters before they were twenty-six or seventeen years old.
It may be said that although Ji Min is a member of the royal family, his weight and status in the Royal City Academy are far lower than Turing Duo.
When she was only sixteen years old, she had already served the kingdom on the secret front. Therefore, from the time she entered the Royal City Academy, she had not attended classes for more than three days in total, but no one from the dean to the tutor had any objections.
, but still regarded her as the best student.
According to the current situation, Turing Duo is likely to inherit Nai's father's mantle. I believe that not too far in the future, the Kingdom of Raging Waves will welcome its first female marshal.
Seeing the king say this, the Prime Minister Yan Wuji chuckled, while Turing Tuo was completely expressionless.
In the main hall, Sauron also discovered Zeng Li. But it was completely different from his boldness last night. He was meticulously dressed in prince robes, stood respectfully at the lower right hand of the king, and never expressed any opinions from the beginning to the end.
, appeared to be very strict and polite.
Sauron's sense of smell is very keen, and he vaguely felt that the reason why the two big guys, Yan Wuji and Turing Tuo, wanted to keep Sauron so much, and they were promoted to marquis, and paid generous salaries to high-ranking officials, was all because of this.
One person, that is Prince Ji Li.
Both the military and the government supported the Lili wholeheartedly. If it wasn't entirely under the king's instruction, it would feel very strange.
"The melons that are forced are not sweet." The king changed his mind and said, "In that case, you can go back to your Tianshui City."
Sauron kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Remember." The king suddenly pointed at the eunuch in the corner of the hall.
Immediately, the eunuch straightened his back, gripped his knife and pen, raised his ears, and was ready to record what the king said.
Whenever the king writes a note, it means that an important decree has been issued. It must be recorded on the jade scroll with a knife and pen and preserved for thousands of years.
At the same time, all the high-ranking civil and military officials present bent down neatly and listened to the king's will.
"Solon, the 19th generation heir of the So family, is loyal, benevolent and filial, and has both civil and military skills. From now on, he will be ordered to inherit the title of Earl of Tianshui and be given Earl's robes, golden crown and sword!"
Immediately, several eunuchs came in one after another holding the count's robes, golden crowns, and swords.
Sauron knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
"Remember." The king added: "Sauron, the 19th generation heir of the Suo family, is brave, upright, noble and fearless. From now on, he will be ordered to inherit the position of Lord of Tianshui City, and he will be given the Lord's battle robe, armor, and sword!"
Then, several more eunuchs entered one after another, holding gold armor, mithril helmets, and golden swords.
Sauron knelt down on one knee and saluted as a warrior: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
Because the city chief has the important responsibility of defending the land and fending off enemies, he salutes as a military commander.
King Zhibian took a step forward and sent the King's Ring in front of Sauron, saying: "From today on, you are the twenty-first prince of the Kingdom of Wrath. I hope you can assume the responsibility of the prince of the kingdom.
Not only must you protect the people of your territory, but you must also be loyal to the royal family and your lord."
The princes of the kingdom have only one master, and that is the king.
Strictly speaking, every prince is a partner of the Nulang Kingdom. Because each prince surrenders his territory and army to the royal family, their power comes from their respective families, not from the king's canonization.
Therefore, it is necessary to use the identities of retainer and master to maintain the relationship between the two parties.
Sauron held the right hand that was holding the change, lowered his head and kissed his king's ring.
"Sauron swears allegiance to the royal family and the Lord." After kissing the ring, Sauron said solemnly.
At this time, there was only one feeling in his heart: the king's hands were so cold.
"Get up." The king said.
Sauron stood up. From now on, he is one of the twenty-one princes of the kingdom, the Earl of Tianshui, and the Lord of Tianshui City.
At least legally speaking, the 500-mile territory of Tianshui City, hundreds of thousands of people, and tens of thousands of troops already belong to him alone.
The reason why the king only gave him robes and swords, but not the city lord's seal, was because the city lord's seal was passed down from successive family heads of the Suo family and was not given by the king. This also means that the king has no right to directly interfere with the inheritance of the princes from generation to generation.
.
"Sauron, since you are unwilling to stay in the Royal City, I will take back the Earl's Mansion in the Royal City that was given to your family." King Zhibian suddenly said.
As soon as these words came out, not only Sauron was stunned, but also all the civil servants and generals present were stunned.
There are two Earl's Mansions in Tianshui. One is in Tianshui City. It is not only the Earl's Mansion but also the City Lord's Mansion.
The other one is in the Royal City, which is the mansion where Sauron currently lives.
The Earl's Mansion in the Royal City was given by the royal family for several generations. However, no one lived in this Earl's Mansion for a long time. It was not until Sauron was seriously injured while fighting for the country that he contracted a serious disease and had to come to the Royal City for treatment. That's why he lived in the Royal City for a long time.
Inside the Earl of Tianshui's Mansion.
Now, Sauron wants to return to Tianshui City, but the king directly wants to go back to the Earl's Mansion. This is very surprising.
Under normal circumstances, a noble would be taken back to his mansion only if he made a mistake and was deprived of his title. The king suddenly did this, as if he was eager to drive him back to Tianshui City?
Or maybe he was unhappy that Sauron slapped the royal family too harshly in this bet with Zhen Ning?
In short, this move to take back the Earl's Palace will make the king look petty and should not be done by a king.
But for King Changbian, he often does things in a wild and unconstrained way, which cannot be easily explained. Every move he makes has a profound meaning. It depends on whether you can understand it. And if you can't understand it, then you are in danger.
"Yan Wuji, remember to notify the Department of Internal Affairs and ask him to take back the Earl of Tianshui's Mansion within five days." The king changed his words.
"According to the order." Prime Minister Yan Wuji bowed and said.
Sauron vaguely felt that the king's move was to cut off his way of staying in the royal city.
It seemed that he was being driven to a certain road, but Sauron had not yet fully thought about which road.
But at least one thing is certain, he can't stay in the Royal City. The king has given him a time limit to leave the Royal City within five days.
"Okay, Sauron, you can go." The king changed his mind and said, "You won't have to say goodbye then, just go back to Tianshui City. There is no edict. Without important military affairs, you are not allowed to return to the royal city, and you are not allowed to make friends with civil and military ministers privately.
Not to mention you are not allowed to make friends with members of the royal family privately."
His Majesty the King has such a personality and speaks so directly. It seems as if there is no palace at all.
However, only those who have been around him for a long time will know how deep the king's scheming is and how terrifying it is.
"I obey the decree." Sauron kowtowed and then exited the hall.
And a dozen eunuchs, holding robes, swords, etc., followed him out of the palace and returned to Tianshui City.
…
After returning to the Earl of Tianshui's Mansion, her sister Suo Ningbing couldn't wait to let Sauron put on the embroidered gold robe of the Earl of Tianshui, put on a gold crown, and carry a sword at his waist.
"So majestic and handsome. It really makes all the girls in the world feel happy." Suo Ningbing clapped her hands and said, "You must be the most handsome and beautiful owner of my Sox family in hundreds of years."
Then, Sauron was at the mercy of his sister, letting her pose in various shapes, and then let the servants, maids, and family warriors in the Earl's Mansion watch.
As they watched, they clapped and cheered. The eyes of many maids were filled with sparkles, and they only regretted that Sauron had calmed down and stopped teasing them.
In the past few months, the atmosphere in Earl Tianshui's Mansion has been full of depression and pain, and even breathing has been uncomfortable.
Because, in the past few months, the Sox family has been in a precarious and precarious state.
But today, it is full of laughter and joy.
Indeed, this was Suoning Bing's happiest day. Sauron finally overcame all difficulties and inherited the title of Lord of Tianshui City. Suo's centuries-old foundation was finally not ruined in her hands.
Because Sauron turned the tide and saved Soclan from this crisis of destruction.
As for the Sauron in front of her, she was not really Sauron. She really didn't care at all.
In fact, he had never thought about this at all, because in his mind, Sauron was not only a younger brother and a relative, but also a vague... lover. However, she did not dare to admit it or accept this at all.
"Sister, the king's decree is to take back this Earl's Mansion. We are restricted to leave within five days, and we are not allowed to return to the royal city without an edict," Sauron said.
"If you take it back, take it back. It's cold here and I don't like it at all." Suoningbing said without caring: "Only Tianshui City is our home and our root. We will move out of this place in less than five days and within three days."
Earl's Mansion, we will return to Tianshui City."
Then, the jubilant Suoning Bing asked her servants and maids to pack up gifts and prepare carriages all night long. She was so eager to return home that she couldn't wait to leave tonight and return to Tianshui City.
"We will return to Tianshui City in three days and go home." Suoning Bing rarely said loudly.
Suddenly, all the family warriors, all the maids and slaves cheered in unison.
They had been depressed for a long time, and finally they could cheer because they were going home.
Then, everyone happily packed up and prepared to move overnight.
…
When his sister Suo Ningbing left and lost sight of him, the smile on Solan's face suddenly completely disappeared.
He came outside the yard, closed his eyes, and faced the bright moon in the sky, as if he wanted the moonlight to heal the burning pain in his eyes.
Although his eyes regained their brilliance, they were damaged after all and were often in burning pain.
"I have never seen the young lady so happy." Ye Jingyu said from the side, then came behind Sauron, reached out and gently massaged his eyes, and said: "Master, what are you worried about?"
Feeling the strong elasticity on Ye Jingyu's chest, Sauron leaned on him gently and said slowly: "Jingyu, we can't go back to Tianshui City, we can't go home."
"What?" Ye Jingyu said tremblingly.
"I have vaguely felt this before, and today the king's will completely confirms it to me. We can't go back to Tianshui City, and the Earl's Mansion in the Royal City is gone." Sauron said: "So, in five days we will
I am homeless. I really can’t bear to tell my sister, and I really don’t want her to lose the smile on her face. It’s so rare for her to smile once.”
"What's going on?" Ye Jingyu asked painfully.
"We have entered a whirlpool. Prince Li's strategy is only the first level." Sauron said: "Behind this, there is another whirlpool. This whirlpool is bottomless, because this is the king's strategy. He
You want to push me onto another road, and this road will lead to a narrow escape from death, which will completely destroy me and the people around me."
"Which way? What way?" Ye Jingyu asked.
"I can't tell you, it's too dangerous." Sauron said: "Everyone says that King Zhibian is the most terrifying person in the world. Today he only showed a claw and a claw, which made me realize this deeply. It is really terrible.
, no wonder the entire kingdom’s civil servants, military officers, nobles and princes are no match for him.”
Taking a deep breath, Sauron said to Ye Jingyu: "Go down and tell the family warriors to sharpen their swords and guns, don't bring anything with you, and prepare your horses. We... are going to fight."
"Moreover, the legendary Princess Yanyan should be coming back from Yanjing Dragon Temple soon." Sauron whispered to himself. (To be continued.)
