"Little Saisai, who is she?" Zhou Xingyun asked curiously. Ever since the white-haired old woman appeared, several nobles were like mice meeting cats, with panic expressions on their faces.
"She is a retainer of the previous emperor, the current manager of the paradise, and also my swordsmanship instructor." Seluvinia introduced the identity of the white-haired old woman to Zhou Xingyun. She is a famous swordsman in the Western Continent and a retainer of the imperial royal family.
, she has a high reputation in the empire, and she teaches all the princes swordsmanship.
Now the emperor sent her to Paradise to train a concubine with both civil and military skills for the royal family.
An excellent concubine can give birth to excellent offspring for the royal family. The old woman who is loyal to the imperial family happily accepted the emperor's appointment and looked for suitable candidates in the paradise to train them so that they can flourish for the imperial family.
Seluvinia is a good young lady who has been carefully selected by the white-haired old lady.
"Elder Shao No. 2?" Zhou Xingyun was a little scared. One Elder Shao was enough to give him a headache. If another one came, wouldn't he be tortured to death?
"Yes and no." Seluvinia pretended to be silly and cute again, showing that charming smile, leaving Zhou Xingyun to guess on his own.
It’s over! It’s too bad! A perfect woman who is gentle, considerate, and sensible, and occasionally pretends to be stupid and cute, this will lead to death! I’m going to die, I’m going to die! Zhou Xingyun said that he couldn’t stand it, and he wanted to be killed by Xiao Sai Saimei.
It is true that Seluvinia said ‘yes and no’, not intentionally to deceive Zhou Xingyun, and did not want to tell Zhou Xingyun the truth.
Because 'yes and no' is the answer. The gray-haired old woman showed the kindness of knowing and nurturing Seluvinia, which is the same as Elder Shao's kindness to Wei Suyao.
However, the difference between the white-haired old woman and Elder Shao is that Elder Shao comes from the bottom of his heart and regards Wei Suyao as his own, while the white-haired old woman does it for the imperial family and feels that Seluvinia is a good seedling and worthy of
She put her effort into cultivating it.
Everything the white-haired old woman did was to train Seluvinia into a perfect woman, and then be used by the emperor.
If Seluvinia doesn't behave as she wants, the white-haired old woman will find someone else.
After all, before Seluvinia appeared, the white-haired old woman was already training concubines for the emperor. Seeing that Seluvinia was beautiful and talented, she was much better than the women she had trained before, so she decided to take her.
He gave up and turned to teach Seluvinia.
While Zhou Xingyun and Seluvinia were whispering, the gray-haired old woman also learned from Amanda the reason for the conflict between the two parties.
Although Duke Caesar insisted that he deliberately made things difficult and let the guards take action in order to test Zhou Xingyun and others.
In fact, Houllier had served two generations of emperors, so how could he not know the style of the aristocracy? Caesar and others would most likely be attracted by the beauty and plot against the women around Zhou Xingyun, and the two sides would fight.
"I am the manager of the park. If you can give me some face with today's matter, you two can just let it go." Houllier slowly looked at Zhou Xingyun.
Literally speaking, the white-haired old woman seemed to be asking for Zhou Xingyun's opinion, hoping that he would give her face and let Caesar go with a noble hand. However, the tone of her words was mixed with an unquestionable flavor, as if she was asking him to let him go immediately.
Zhou Xingyun hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Isabel, indicating her to let Caesar go first.
There is a saying that Zhou Xingyun didn't let the white-haired old woman let her go because he wanted to save face, but he wanted to save face for little Seluvinia.
After all, if the two sides really get into trouble, Zhou Xingyun will also have a huge headache.
Although Zhou Xingyun and his party are highly skilled in martial arts and are not afraid of any strong enemy, their main purpose is to return to the Central Plains and they must keep a thin line in everything.
If they make too many enemies and offend all the local tycoons, who will provide the money and effort to send them home?
Based on the information obtained so far, the Great Empire has the ability to form an ocean-going caravan and carry Zhou Xingyun and others back to the Central Plains. It is best not to fall out if they can avoid falling out. If you want to go home, you have to fool it...
Besides, if Zhou Xingyun falls out with the nobles in the paradise, he will most likely become a wanted criminal. He will be chased wherever he goes, which will make it very inconvenient for him to do things.
There is some truth in this saying that a strong dragon will not overwhelm a local snake.
At least this is Zhou Xingyun's current situation. He is not afraid of Caesar and others, and it doesn't matter even if he falls out with them. However, in that case, he will inevitably provoke many forces and cause countless troubles.
Trouble is trouble, and with the strength of Zhou Xingyun and others, solving trouble is not a problem, the problem is trouble.
Although it's a bit convoluted, that's what it means. In short, Zhou Xingyun wants to go home as soon as possible and doesn't want to cause trouble outside.
Now that the manager of the park came forward, Zhou Xingyun simply gave her face and walked down the steps.
After all, being an enemy of the white-haired old lady now would be equivalent to being an enemy of little Selvinia, and Zhou Xingyun couldn't bear it.
As long as Caesar, an old nobleman, restrains himself a little and stops arrogantly asking Zhou Xingyun to let beautiful women serve them, this matter can be forgotten today.
I think the old nobles have seen how powerful they are and don't dare to make unreasonable troubles anymore. Otherwise, with just a little more force on Isabel's fingertips, this guy can go to see God.
No, Caesar's face changed like a page in a book. Isabel obeyed Zhou Xingyun's instructions and let him go. He immediately put on a friendly smile, as if he was just joking with everyone, and apologized to Zhou Xingyun in a serious manner.
"Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun, please don't misunderstand me. As I said, seeing how young you are, it's hard to believe that you can stand shoulder to shoulder with Miss Amanda. I just want the guards to test your abilities.
, I have no intention of harming you. If I offend you, please forgive me." Caesar naturally flattered Zhou Xingyun: "I didn't expect that you are actually a powerful warrior! It's just a coincidence that you are here.
Helping Paradise resist invasion must be God’s will and the gospel of the empire!”
Zhou Xingyun looked at the smiling Caesar and saw him mumbling a lot of words, but he heard four words... bully the weak and avoid the strong.
When this guy first saw that they were just a group of young people, he thought they were easy to bully, so he ordered the guards to use force to subdue them. Unexpectedly, Zhou Xingyun slapped him with a backhand.
Now that he knew that Zhou Xingyun and others were all steel plates that could not be kicked, he immediately smiled kindly and wanted to make friends with him.
Not only Caesar, but also Wei Nuo and others. When Caesar made trouble just now, these guys stood by and silently allowed the guards around them to take action.
Now he pretended to be shocked, as if he had just come back to his senses, and spoke for Caesar in a disguised manner: "Your Excellency Caesar's acting skills are just right. We were all deceived by you, thinking that you really wanted to blame His Excellency Zhou Xingyun for being rude! At that time, we were all stunned and at a loss.
!”
"If you think about it carefully, you will think it's impossible." Caesar opened his eyes and told lies: "His Excellency Zhou Xingyun is a great nobleman of the Eastern Dynasty, and he doesn't understand the customs here. How can I blame him? It's all a joke!
"
"It turned out to be just a joke! Duke Caesar really scared me, and I was going to stop you! However, His Excellency Zhou Xingyun and the female guards were so powerful that they didn't even let me have a chance to speak, so they gave Duke Caesar to
Caught."
"That's right! I just saw a figure in front of me, and I didn't expect to be caught by His Excellency Zhou Xingyun's female bodyguards! Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun and your personal guards are really extraordinary in their skills, and heroes come from young!"
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Duke Caesar is not afraid of boiling water. He praised Zhou Xingyun and others in a big way. After hearing this, Zhou Xingyun could only smile condescendingly: "Thank you! You're welcome! I'm just a slave trader. I want to think of the West."
I was making some small money in the mainland, and I took the opportunity to explore the local customs. His Excellency Caesar suddenly said that I had insulted the great empire, which really scared me. Please don't make such a joke next time, otherwise, my people will not know the importance of it.
If you use a little more force and kill Caesar, there will be no end."
"Yes, yes, my joke has indeed gone too far. Don't worry, Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun." Caesar nodded in agreement, really feeling shameless.
Caesar and several nobles were suddenly very polite to Zhou Xingyun, not only because Zhou Xingyun and others showed great strength, but also because the white-haired old woman came with little Selvinia.
According to the rules of the park, they are not allowed to do any rude behavior in front of little Seluvinia, so as not to have a negative impact on her.
"Have you finished talking about your business?" Holier glanced at Caesar and the others in a nonchalant manner, and then continued: "The informants from the Outpost War reported to me that the people of the Alat Bandit Group have noticed Paradise. They
Wandering outside the swamp forest, planning a way to cross the swamp forest."
"They discovered the paradise so quickly?" Wei Nuo was quite surprised. The location of the paradise was very secret. Logically speaking, the Alat Bandits would most likely not be able to discover this edge city without knowing the existence of the paradise.
Even if the Alat Bandits knew that 'Paradise' was located near Mayba Castle in the Principality of Cheryl, they would have spent three to five days searching for the swamp forest.
"We retreated in a hurry last night and left a lot of footprints. Of course we would be discovered by the enemy." The white-haired old woman Hollier said casually. They all protected Seluvinia and evacuated from Mayba Castle, and they had no time to cover up their tracks.
, the other party only needs a little tracing to understand their whereabouts.
What's more, the lord and the lord's wife of Mayba Castle were both captured alive by the Arat bandits. If they couldn't withstand the torture, they would expose the matter of the empire building a 'paradise' on the border of Cheryl.
The Alat Bandits only need to follow the clues and quickly discover the location of the 'Paradise'.
Fortunately, although the lord of Mayba Castle is Seluvinia's adoptive father, he does not know the way to enter the "Paradise". Therefore, the Alat Bandits must find a way to cross the miasma-shrouded swamp forest on their own.
When he thought of this, Houllier couldn't help but look at Zhou Xingyun and others with suspicion, wondering how they knew about the existence of the paradise and what methods they used to survive the swamp forest.
Furthermore, Seluvinia’s beautiful appearance and temperament deeply attracted Houllier.
