The gray wolf who stole things was taken back for interrogation. Not many useful questions were asked, but a gang of habitual thieves active in Yuehua City was revealed from behind him.
It turned out that this gray wolf was originally a habitual thief in Yuehua City. Before he was caught, he was introduced by a colleague and got a business: someone offered him a high price of ten purple bone coins and hired him to steal the jade plaque from Yun Wuzhen.
But when he hired someone else, he didn't even see his face. The two of them traded in a small alley through the door. The other party paid him three purple bone coins in advance, and after the promise was fulfilled, he paid the remaining seven coins.
The other party did not tell him that Yun Wu was really the young prince. He only said that ordinary brothers were competing for family property and needed the waist badge as a token.
Stealing the young prince's jade token was such a dangerous thing, but he was only given ten bone coins. Now this gray wolf felt deeply that he had been tricked by his colleagues. He suspected that his colleagues were not doing the work and were stealing kickbacks, so he angrily confessed to the colleagues who introduced him.
come out.
The security team followed the lead and arrested the accomplice who introduced him. After some torture, they still could not find out the identity of his employer. However, they solved several theft cases in the royal city last year. Finally, they organized a group of thieves and took the blame. According to the laws of the North,
, each person was whipped ten times and sent to prison.
As a hero in catching the thief, Hang Shiqi, a member of the trainee security team, can also be considered as having made a contribution.
"This is for you." Ao Shun took out a black noose: "This is the restraint rope provided by the security team members."
"It is forbidden to use animal forms on the streets of Yuehua City. Next time you see someone changing into animal forms on the street, just grab the end of the rope and throw the lock. It is blessed by the power of nature and will automatically lock onto the target.
, clasp the opponent's neck so that the opponent cannot return to his human form. If you hold on to the rope again, he will not be able to escape."
Hang Shiqi took the lasso and saw that it had a black ring lock on one side, a long chain lock on the other, and a handle at the end that could be grasped in the hand.
Hang Qi took the noose in his hand and looked at it again and again: "Isn't this just a dog leash?"
Ao Shun showed an expression of disapproval and spoke sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, this is an animal trapping rope, not a dog rope. There are many animal species related to dogs in the northern bloodline, and each of them also has outstanding abilities. We advocate interbreeding between animal species.
Unite, don’t discriminate against dog-blooded orcs just because you are of wolf bloodline.”
Hang Shiqi opened his mouth: "I don't mean that."
After all, I am a dog too.
"It's fine if you don't have one." Ao Shun saw that his expression didn't look like he was pretending, and his tone softened: "I don't think you should be that kind of person. I'm just worried that you heard someone's words and were led astray. There are many in the north.
Wolf-type orcs discriminate against dog-type orcs. For example, the president of the Chamber of Commerce currently looks down on dog-type orcs even though they themselves are mixed with cloud foxes. Last year, dog-type orcs were banned from entering some shops and restaurants under the Chamber of Commerce. However, they were later banned.
When the boss found out, he severely punished me."
"There is such a thing, how can we teach you a lesson?" Hang Shiqi himself is also in the form of a dog. In addition, due to Chen Xi's previous events and the words of the Chamber of Commerce President at the dinner, he had a bad impression of the Chamber of Commerce, so he couldn't help but bring in the dog.
The orc side.
"At that time, the canine orcs wrote a joint letter and submitted it to the palace because of the discrimination. The president of the Chamber of Commerce refused to apologize. He also said that strength is respected in the north. Wolves are stronger than dogs and dogs are inferior races. The boss said that since the president of the Chamber of Commerce looks down on dogs
For orcs, let's have an open competition. The Chamber of Commerce will present ten people who support discrimination, and dog orcs will also present ten opponents. One-on-one, whoever wins will be justified. The competition venue is Yuehua Square, and successive wolf kings have replaced each other.
This is where the battle begins."
"There are also several races among the dog-type orcs that are particularly good at fighting, such as the fighting dog tribe, the giant tusk tribe, etc. The hyena tribe was originally considered, but their reputation was so bad that they were removed from the northern border. These races sent top warriors, but they were not as good as
Ordinary frost wolves are weak."
"As for the Chamber of Commerce, the defense team is not under the jurisdiction of the Chamber of Commerce and cannot be counted. The other members are mostly from races that are good at business but not good at fighting. A few of them still have a few frost wolves. But on the one hand, they are pampered all year round, and on the other hand, they are old and infirm.
The combat effectiveness has long been greatly reduced."
"Under the circumstances, the Chamber of Commerce suffered a disastrous defeat in this competition. Those who discriminated against dog orcs were so beaten that their faces were swollen when they looked down on dog orcs. Don't they think that dog orcs are not good? Are they not as powerful as wolf orcs?
In the end, they were beaten until they were on stage, begging for mercy, and the whole city was laughing."
"The boss took advantage of this opportunity to abolish a lot of regulations of the Chamber of Commerce that discriminate against dog orcs. Not only dog orcs, but the guys in the Chamber of Commerce are also very hostile to female orcs and mixed-blood orcs. But after this precedent, at least on the surface, they
They have restrained themselves a lot. Because every time they show their signs, the Female Orcs Anti-Discrimination Federation and the Mixed-blood Orcs Protection Association will fly over with their letters of challenge.”
Hang Shiqi was very happy to hear this. Recalling that he had also experienced discrimination, before Chen Xi opened his mouth: mixed-blood female orc, shut up: Whoever loses will learn to bark like a dog. He originally thought that it was just Chen Xi who had a dirty mouth and lacked quality.
Thinking of brain damage or ancestral inheritance.
"I didn't expect Ao Wu to have some ideas sometimes. I thought that when he was in charge of the Northern Territory, he would just scare people with a straight face and a serious face."
"Boss is really a very powerful person." After praising Ao Wu, Ao Shun instantly put on a look of admiration: "The old wolf king is famous for being strict, but boss is the only one who successfully persisted to the end, defeated the old wolf king, and succeeded as his successor.
And he is the youngest among the old Wolf King's apprentices. He was only eighteen years old when he took over. You don't know how much pressure he had when he took office. Although there is no doubt that he is the strongest, in terms of power, he was young at the time and had no family background.
Before he has a firm foothold, those old fools will try their best to make things difficult for him."
Hang Shiqi thought, eighteen years old, one year younger than he is now. Speaking of which, Ao Wu is only in his early twenties now. Although he is not very old, he has to act like a mature and steady man, which is actually quite hard.
, especially when I think of Ao Wu being bullied by some old guys at this age, I feel even more distressed: "Where did the old wolf king go?"
Ao Shun: "He passed away. The old Wolf King had brain disease, and he had some signs of forgetfulness three years ago. It was also because he felt that he was about to die, so he was so demanding on his apprentices, hoping that they would become masters as soon as possible and take over.
The burden is in your own hands."
Hang Shiqi: "Is it because of this that Ao Wu succeeded the Wolf King at such a young age?"
Ao Shun nodded: "Yes, don't look at the youngest wolf king. It sounds superficial, but the boss has experienced far greater pressure than his predecessors. Although the high priest is very supportive of him, the Presbyterian Council and the Chamber of Commerce
But there is an undercurrent, and there are always people trying to make some small moves, bullying the boss, the young and inexperienced, and trying to take advantage of the opportunity."
"Ah." Hang Shiqi remembered what Ao Wu said about his fake marriage: "Is there anyone planning Ao Wu's marriage?"
Ao Shun: "This is natural. After all, the queen has the same status as the Wolf King and is husband and wife. She can greatly influence the Wolf King's decision-making. When the Wolf King is away, she can even participate in politics on his behalf. If the queen comes from a certain force, that
The forces will have a huge say in the north. But don’t worry now, the boss has expressed his feelings to you, and the high priest has also expressed his support. Those forces who want to move their minds can only stay calm now. "
Hang Shiqi nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself, it turned out that Ao Wu was really afraid of being arranged to get married, so he used him as a shield. Then if he really needs to fake a marriage in the future, he might be able to reluctantly cooperate.
When he returned to the palace in the evening and had dinner with Ao Wu, Hang Shiqi took the initiative and said: "I have figured it out and I am willing to marry you! You have worked too hard. If me marrying you can relieve you of some burden, I will
willing!"
Ao Wu just picked up a bean and dropped it back on the plate. Although he knew that Hang Shiqi was probably having a seizure when he said such words, he might be thinking about something in his little head. But he didn't know why, but his heart was still beating for no reason.
A few shots.
He exhaled, put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and looked Hang Shiqi up and down: "Who said anything to you again?"
Hang Shiqi picked up the beans that Ao Wu had dropped and stuffed them into his mouth. He chirped and said, "Ah, I just heard Ao Shun tell you a little bit about your past, saying that you are very powerful. You will be the wolf king at the age of eighteen. You are better than me."
She’s still young now.”
Ao Wu's eyes moved involuntarily to Hang Shiqi's lips, and then quickly moved away: "Don't sympathize with me. It is my own choice to be the Wolf King. I hold one-seventh of the power in the continent, and I will not be bullied. Those who are arguing
Damn it, it’s just a little bit of trouble at most.”
"Then just think that I want to save you some trouble." Hang Shiqi felt that Ao Wu was too strong sometimes and refused to show any weakness, so he didn't make people feel bad at all. Shouldn't he cry and act coquettishly at this time?
, and then take the opportunity to put forward conditions, do you want everything you want?
"Okay, but it's not needed yet." Ao Wu said.
For him, Hang Shiqi's willingness to acquiesce in their relationship is enough to ward off those troubles. Since the other party has no feelings for him, he will not be selfish enough to take advantage of the other party's sympathy and tie the other party to his side for a lifetime. That is too despicable.
.
Three days passed peacefully. Three days later, An Qing handed over the required information for Shujin at Wangxingzhai as promised.
Shujin roughly flipped through the information, and found that some of the details were consistent with their own investigation.
Seeing that there was no problem with the authenticity of the information, he immediately smiled attentively and said, "Mr. An's work is really reassuring."
An Qing smiled lightly and replied: "It's An Qing who should do it."
Shu Jin put down the information: "When do you want to get Yuan Yu? To be honest, only teachers can activate the teleportation formation. Why don't Mr. An wait for this and go back to Nanxia with me to find the teacher?"
An Qing showed a bit of joy, as if she had no idea about Shujin's plan: "That's the best thing."
This conversation still ended quickly. After all, neither party wanted to be discovered having any interaction with the other party.
After An Qing came out, she told the shopkeeper: "Find someone to monitor them all day long and report to me every day. Be careful not to be discovered."
The old shopkeeper didn't ask about An Qing's plans. He only knew that An Qing was kind to him. He spared no effort to do what An Qing asked him to do. He just said: "Don't worry, Mr. An, I will definitely do what you ask me to do."
An Qing nodded: "Has the Frost Moon arrived?"
Shopkeeper: "I'm already here. I'll wait for you in the compartment on the top floor. Please follow me."
There are light-colored curtains hanging in the private room on the top floor, fluttering gently in the wind. Shuangyue is sitting near the window, and from here you can see the direction of the palace from a distance.
After drinking a cup of tea, a look of impatience appeared on Shuangyue's face: "Why, the unloved eldest son of the third elder's family dares to leave me here?"
Today she received a message from An Qing, saying that there was a very important secret about Ao Wu that he wanted to tell her. The other party was mysterious and did not say what it was, but Shuang Yue couldn't help but come, even if Ao Wu had clearly rejected her, even if he
He has publicly admitted that the only person he likes is Hang Shiqi.
She was not too impressed with An Qing. Although they were both females, he had an ordinary appearance, an ordinary family background, and ordinary abilities. The only thing worthy of praise was that he was probably quite measured in his behavior. It was a pity.
A father like An Qing's can only be a marriage tool in this life.
Shuang Yue did not sympathize with An Qing. Although a person's life is influenced by his family, he should not bear the brand of his family for the rest of his life. Shuang Yu was from the same background as An Qing, but he was able to become a candidate for high priest with his excellent inspiration and successfully got rid of his father's shadow.
Even if An Qing is not talented in inspiration, he can still resist in other places. He is now a member of the hunting team. If he insists on disobeying his father's arrangements, with Ao Wu here, no one can force him. To put it bluntly, he is too much.
Weak and too resigned.
An Qing's sudden voice interrupted Shuangyue's thoughts.
"Lord Shuangyue, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for so long." An Qing appeared on the top floor, her smile as gentle as ever. Her voice was like a breeze, which could soothe people's irritability.
Shuangyue's face softened: "Tell me your secret, I'm very busy, I hope you won't let me go in vain. But I doubt that there are any secrets about the boss that you know and I don't?"
"Master Shuangyue has been with His Highness the Wolf King for three years, and is completely different from newcomers like us." An Qing said: "But I am about to say this, not only you, but also His Highness the Wolf King may not know about it. And I also happened to be lucky.
I found out by accident.”
Shuangyue frowned and urged: "If you want to say something, say it quickly, don't be shy."
An Qing took a sip of tea leisurely: "That's it, I found out that Hang Qiqi was sent by a secret organization to assassinate His Highness the Wolf King. But he seemed to have given up for some reason, and now the organization member disguised himself as a businessman and lurked into the moon.
Huacheng is tracking him down."
The teacup in Shuangyue's hand clattered to the ground. She leaned over and grabbed An Qing's collar: "You said...what? Who is Hang Shiqi?"
An Qing showed no resistance and allowed Shuang Yue to almost lift him up from the seat: "Assassin, he is here to assassinate His Highness. You may find it hard to believe it. After all, he has been disguising very well. But I promise with my life that I will say nothing."
It's the truth. If you don't believe it, there is a way to prove it.":,,,
