Emperor Aisilance felt that the whole world belonged to him. It was a matter of course and an honor for the untouchables to serve him, and every word and order he gave was a blessing from God to the world, not to mention him.
The reward given.
If the nobles of the Esilans Empire were rewarded by the emperor, they would definitely be grateful and hehehehehehe would run forward to grab the bones to eat.
The royal knights in the hall were even more shocked. They stared at the medal held in the hands of the female guard with envious and jealous eyes. They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would award a first-class Heroic Medal to a foreigner.
The entire Aisilans Empire has made great contributions, and there are no more than ten heroes including Zhou Xingyun who have received this medal.
For the people of the Esilans Empire, this medal is the king's blessing! It is a great favor!
However……
How does Zhou Xingyun feel after receiving a reward from the emperor?
To ask Zhou Xingyun what he thinks, you must first ask who he is!
Who is Zhou Xingyun? What is Zhou Xingyun’s identity?
I recall how the Empress Dowager rewarded Zhou Xingyun when he was fighting wits and courage with the sixteenth son of the Emperor. How many rewards did he get after assisting Brother Xiao Feng to ascend the throne? After putting down the rebellion of Beijingzhou Mu, it was hung on Zhou Xingyun's head.
How many first-class titles are there?
When Emperor Aisilans awarded Zhou Xingyun a reward, what do you think Zhou Xingyun was thinking in his heart?
Zhou Xingyun suddenly realized something and remembered an important event that he had almost forgotten!
What did he forget? He actually forgot that Brother Xiaofeng still owed him a debt!
Zhou Xingyun led the Zhenbei cavalry to sit at the border and repelled the Huang Feng Kingdom who invaded our Central Plains without a single blow. Logically speaking, he should be promoted to a high official.
Although Zhou Xingyun is no longer interested in official titles or anything like that, he should be rewarded with real money and silver.
There is a saying that if brothers settle accounts clearly, those who deserve to be rewarded should still be rewarded.
Zhou Xingyun did not ask Xiaofeng to give him one hundred thousand or one million gold ingots. He would be satisfied if he only asked for ten thousand or eight thousand gold ingots.
The prerequisite must be given to him without telling Han Qiumiao, otherwise the money will eventually fall into Xiao Qiuqiu's pocket.
Not going to lie, Zhou Xingyun is really poor!
What can the above prove? Can it prove that Zhou Xingyun seems to be rich, but in fact he is poor?
No, the above proves that Zhou Xingyun has become numb to rewards. Even though he guards the border and makes great contributions to the country, he has received rewards so many times that he has become numb to royal rewards.
Again, Zhou Xingyun was numb to the rewards from his own emperor, let alone the rewards from other emperors.
First-class Medal of Heroes? What kind of crap? It’s made of wiring, it’s nothing valuable, and no one would take it even if it was thrown into a pawn shop.
Zhou Xingyun stood there with a smile on his face and did not move. He let the female guard of Emperor Aisilans help him tie the medal, but he was full of contempt in his heart, shouting that if you have the ability, reward me with a beauty, and you want to bribe me with a broken medal?
What a bunch of stuff!
Zhou Xingyun thought so in his heart, and then the emperor actually did it.
"Iona, Yolani, and Your Excellency Zhou Xingyun are the heroes of Acelanth. I will give you to him as domestic slaves."
"As commanded."
The two female guards behind Emperor Aisilans nodded in response with pale faces.
Anyone with eyes present could see that the expressions on the faces of the two female guards were filled with grief and despair after being abandoned by the emperor.
However, they did not dare to resist at all, so they could only silently walk up to Zhou Xingyun, crawl on their knees and kiss his shoes to show their loyalty.
This is the custom of the Essilans Empire. Female slaves kiss their master's shoes to show their physical and mental loyalty and never disobey their master.
No! Zhou Xingyun was instantly stunned. Emperor Aisilans actually had the habit of giving away his favorite guards? And they were the two most beautiful ones!
However, just when Zhou Xingyun's head hurt and he was disturbed by the sudden beauty trick of Emperor Aisilance...
"Give wine to the new hero of Aisilance." Emperor Aisilance asked the maid to pour wine for Zhou Xingyun and his party.
Zhou Xingyun immediately understood that Emperor Aisilans did this just to make him relax his vigilance.
When an emperor rewards beautiful women, everyone will be happy.
Even though Zhou Xingyun was already patting his chest and shouting about the cricket beauty trap and whoever falls in the trap, he would still be a little confused when it comes to him.
After all, the female guards of Emperor Aisilans are indeed pretty good, not to mention, they are very submissive.
Zhou Xingyun had something to say. If he hadn't been wary and hostile towards Emperor Aisilance beforehand, and knew that Emperor Aisilance had evil intentions towards him, Zhou Xingyun might have been moved by the emperor's reward and happily drank the drink handed to him by the maid.
of drinks.
Emperor Aisilans calmed down and even rewarded the female guard to Zhou Xingyun, probably just for this glass of wine.
Of course, there was something wrong with the wine rewarded by the emperor. It was just Zhou Xingyun's guess. Whether there was something specific or not would only be known after drinking it.
Emperor Aisilans gave wine to everyone, including the two slave girls he had just given to Zhou Xingyun.
In other words, the emperor rewarded Zhou Xingyun with his favorite guards, and now they belong to Zhou Xingyun's property. The emperor gave Zhou Xingyun and his party drinks, which naturally also included them.
The two female guards took the drink from the maid's hand and drank it down without hesitation.
Emperor Aisilans rewarded Zhou Xingyun with two of his favorite guards. In addition to numbing Zhou Xingyun's resistance, he could also set an example to Zhou Xingyun like he is doing now.
The two female guards took the lead and drank the wine in one gulp. Zhou Xingyun and others could not refuse the emperor's gift of wine.
Both female guards risked their lives and tested poison, so how could Zhou Xingyun have any reason to refuse? At least in terms of human nature, Zhou Xingyun was not in a good position to offend Emperor Aisilans.
There is no husband without poison. Zhou Xingyun took a breath silently. The two female guards did risk their lives to help him test the poison. The question is, if the emperor of Aisilans also poisoned them, then should he try it?
The poisons are all the same.
After all, the poison in the wine may not cause immediate effects, and the poison will most likely not lead to death.
Otherwise, if Suyao and the others drank a glass of wine, their fragrance would be gone, and the emperor of Aisilans would not be able to bring the beauty home.
Apart from anything else, when the maid brought the wine glass to Zhou Xingyun, Zhou Xingyun was undoubtedly in a very difficult situation.
Emperor Aisilans gave wine to him, should he drink it or not?
By the time Zhou Xingyun entered the hall, the people of the Esilans Empire, although not friendly, had not done anything excessive.
Emperor Aisilans has always had a sullen face, which can be regarded as the majesty of a king.
After all, the emperor is an emperor. When he formally receives foreigners in public, his seriousness is beyond reproach.
In other words, as the king of a country, Emperor Aisilans cannot respond with a playful and friendly smile like Zhou Xingyun. He is the supreme ruler of the empire and the representative of the empire. His words and deeds must reflect the majesty of the empire.
Whether Emperor Aisilance valued himself or not did not depend on his expression, but whether he smiled or not, but on the standard of the reception.
After all, Zhou Xingyun was the marshal of Zhenbei Cavalry and the consort of the eldest princess. Han Qiumiao reminded him of diplomatic etiquette more than once.
Zhou Xingyun was originally a wild boy, a wild boy from the Jianghu. He knew nothing about officialdom, so Han Qiumiao told him sincerely, don't always smile playfully in front of your subordinates!
The little girls in the paradise called Zhou Xingyun an unruly instructor because he was too easy-going and talked and acted in an unruly manner.
Friends from Zhenbeiqi directly quoted the words of the little girl from the paradise and said that Zhou Xingyun was an improper marshal. I believe no one would object.
As a leader, you should have the self-discipline and consciousness of a leader. A leader like Zhou Xingyun who is just doing nothing is a very special type.
To be honest, if Zhou Xingyun didn't have a train of virtuous helpers behind him to help him deal with the aftermath, Marshal Zhenbeiqi would have collapsed long ago.
If nothing else, just take the fact that Zhou Xingyun is 'poor', is it because Han Qiumiao controls his money bag?
To put it bluntly, if Han Qiumiao hadn't managed Zhenbeiqi's logistics carefully, Zhou Xingyun would have been completely wiped out even if his wealth doubled.
To be sure, it was the animals that were chosen by Yushu that were ruined.
Don't look at Zhou Xingyun who always curses Qin Shou, Li Xiaofan, Xuanyuan Chongwu and all the other animals, as if everyone in Yushu Zhifang except him is a fool.
In fact, Zhou Xingyun is the leader of these idiots, a super idiot.
If Zhou Xingyun had some spare money in his pocket, he would call Qin Shou, Rao Yue and a group of animals to go out and play. They would eat, drink and have fun in a generous manner, which was as good as Xuanyuan Fengxue.
Anyway, Han Qiumi, Xu Zhiqian, Wei Suyao and other girls couldn't understand the seemingly plastic friendship between them, but they were also an iron-clad brotherhood.
Huh? How come Miss Rao Yue appears in the livestock camp? That’s because when Zhou Xingyun goes out to play, the little monster will always dress up as a man and follow Zhou Xingyun out to act like a monster.
Let’s go a step further and go back to the original question. Emperor Aisilans gave wine to him, should Zhou Xingyun drink it or not?
To be honest, the arrogance with which Emperor Aisilance received him could only be described as super grand. The fact that nearly ten thousand royal knights lined up to greet him was enough to show that the other party received him with extremely high standards of treatment.
What's more, Emperor Aisilans also rewarded Zhou Xingyun with a title and a female slave. For him to refuse the emperor's gift of wine is tantamount to neglect and contempt for the Aisilans Empire.
However, this drink was 70% to 80% drugged, and Zhou Xingyun really didn't want to drink it.
Who was this awesome guy who said a few days ago that he knows everything about internal strength and poison? Why are you giving in now?
What's different is that a few days ago, Zhou Xingyun predicted that the Holy Union Army and the Osailan Alliance were at a loss and had to ask him to break the deadlock. He would not poison the food and wine, so Zhou Xingyun dared to pretend in front of Wei Suyao.
Now knowing clearly that Emperor Aisilans has harmful intentions towards him, Zhou Xingyun bites the bullet. That's not awesome, that's stupid.
Zhou Xingyun would not drink this wine, so there was no problem in pretending to deceive the emperor of Aisilance.
As a result, Zhou Xingyun made another salute to Emperor Aisilance, cupped his fists, covered his palms, and drank it down in one gulp with his head held high.
Standing behind Zhou Xingyun, Wei Suyao and the other girls could see that the moment Zhou Xingyun was drinking, he lifted up his palms and used his strong internal force to disperse the wine in the wine glass.
When the Central Plains warriors saw this scene, they would definitely marvel at Zhou Xingyun's internal strength and expose his deception.
Fortunately, the people in the Aisilance Empire don't know how to use internal energy, so they can't see Zhou Xingyun playing tricks.
Later, Wei Suyao and other women followed suit and used their own methods to pretend to drink. The most interesting one was Qili'an. She froze the wine into small ice cubes and hid it in her sleeves. Then she was so cold that she drank it herself.
A clever one.
Only Wafuduo didn't want to pretend, so she spilled the wine on the ground and wet the iron boots of a royal knight.
