"Puff!"

Qilin and the uncle emerged from five or six meters away from the river bank. In the slow flow of water, they struggled to paddle to the shore. The shore was a high ridge. After drifting along the river for dozens of meters, they finally found a shallow that could go up to the rocks in the lower flow. After climbing up with all their strength, they both collapsed on the beach.

“Hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…”

“Hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…hu…”

Qilin and the noble uncle, who were wet all over, were lying motionless on the beach, gasping for breath, while showing a look of sensation. For Qilin, the stimulation they encountered tonight was stronger than the previous month, and for the noble uncle, it seemed that they had rarely experienced such late-night death. While breathing, the two looked at each other at the same time, and their eyes with a strong smile aroused the emotional resonance between them.

"Hehe..." Slowly, Qilin's mouth began to rise.

"Hmph..." Similarly, the uncle also showed a happy expression.

"Haha! Haha! Hahaha!"

The next second, the men's generous laughter broke the silence of the night. On the cold beach by the river, Qilin and the noble uncle patted each other's shoulders like old friends who had known for many years. You punched me and I punched you, laughing out loud.

"Damn it, today I must have been a traitor, and I have encountered some inexplicable things..." Although I said this, there was no unpleasant expression on Qilin's face.

"Yes, I would hit the military police when I urinated anywhere, and then ran half a street, and finally crossed the Rhine... Uncle, my life experience is rich, but I have never encountered such a ridiculous thing before..." Uncle, stroking my beard proudly, and my originally grand bearded, and my cheeks were wet by the river and pressed against both sides of my cheeks, showing a very funny look. "But then, little brother, how did you do it just now? It's the technique of running across the river directly on the water. Uncle, I have a lot of knowledge, but I haven't even heard of it."

"Ah, that one is called 'Lingbo Liebu', which is a kind of light skills." Qilin showed a slightly ashamed expression. "Actually, I didn't practice well. If it was used by the elders in the village, my shoes would not even be wet when crossing this river... Originally, this move should have been supported by 'qi', but I was not good at that, so I had to use 'force' to make up for it, but I fell into the water on the way..."

In fact, Dahuang martial arts are also divided into two types: "external skills" and "internal skills". External skills are practiced in the use of "power", while internal skills are practiced in the use of "qi". Compared with external skills that rely solely on physical abilities, internal skills are practiced slowly, but when they reach the peak, they can exert power that is incomparable to simple external skills. Because Qilin's personality cannot tolerate those boring meditation and qi training, he embarks on the opposite path of Chechen.

With outstanding talents and hard practice, although he is young, Qilin is no less powerful than several elders in external skills. When fighting monsters, he can exert strength that his peers cannot match. Because of this, Qilin is very dissatisfied with the elders who often nag in his ears "hardness and softness", but occasionally when encountering situations similar to today, he will feel that practicing internal skills is still beneficial.

"If the soles of your shoes are not wet, wouldn't it be possible to fly?" The uncle widened his eyes. "Little brother, are the elders in your village 'god people'?"

"God man?" This was the first time Qilin heard this term. "What is that?"

"A god, it's... ha!" The uncle who was about to explain suddenly sneezes, and at the same time Qilin also felt a violent chill.

Speaking of which, sitting by the cold river with a wet body and talking about the world in the night wind of Shuoshuo is simply heresy based on common sense. On the other hand, it can also be considered that in terms of the degree of nerves, Qilin and the noble uncle are probably of the same level.

"Finished! Hey, the invader is here! Hurry up! Come around!"

Just as Qilin and the uncle were shaking and supporting each other and stood up, the Heti above suddenly lit up the fire of torches, accompanied by many chaotic footsteps.

Qilin and the uncle looked at each other, and not long after, dozens of torches illuminated the beach of the two of them, and a group of fully armed guards surrounded them. The guards held the torches in one hand and pressed the hilt in the sword with the other, and looked at the two with colder eyes than the steel on their bodies. They felt as if they would draw their swords and chop people if they had a disagreement.

(What's this called...) Qilin looked at the fully armed guards around him laughed and cried, subconsciously assessing the possibility of a force breakthrough.

(Huh? Wait, it seems like I have seen it somewhere...) Qilin suddenly noticed that the armor on the guards was exactly the same as the armor he had seen in front of the Duke's Mansion yesterday.

(Can you say...) Qilin quickly turned his gaze to the building behind the guards. Although he could only see hazy shadows at night, it was quite consistent with the Duke's Mansion he had seen. (Ahh, speaking of it, the Second Avenue and the First Avenue were originally adjacent, so it was not surprising that they floated along the river to the near of the Duke's Mansion...)

Thinking of this, Qilin breathed a long breath. No matter what, it would be better to be able to resolve peacefully than anything else.

"Don't be rude and put away the weapons." The person who said this was not Qilin.

The noble uncle walked to the fire and issued an order to put away his weapons to the guards. There was a pressure that had not been previously in his faint voice.

"What are you talking nonsense...Huh? You...No, you are... Duke!" The leader of the guard recognized the appearance of the head of the family and showed a embarrassed expression on the spot.

"Sir, you...what are you? Why are you doing this...so..." Looking at the wet head of the family, the captain of the guard struggled to search for the appropriate words in his mind.

"Well, simply put, I met a robber on my way home, and in the end it was this little brother who saved me."

The noble uncle, Robert, Duke of Iserre, patted Qilin's shoulder without changing his face and introduced him to the guards. As for Qilin, he was already stunned when the guard captain shouted "Duke Duke".

"This little brother is my benefactor, you must not neglect it... Ah, and, you must not tell Noin about this matter, not even Charlotte, do you know?" The Duke glanced at the guards around him.

"Yes, the young people will swear to keep the secrets of the adults to the death and will never reveal any of them to the two ladies." The captain of the guard saluted and responded in a very reliable voice.

"Oh, what can't be told to me?"

A cold voice sounded above, and the guards subconsciously looked up and saw Nuo Yin in casual clothes slowly walking down the river bank. Nuo Yin stared at the river bank illuminated by torches, and the leaping flames reflected in the sapphire pupils, reflecting a quiet anger.

As Nuoyin walked slowly, the guards automatically made their way like a separate tide. They looked up at the female hero who led the strongest troops of the Kingdom Army in the name of "Sheng Lei Dome Light", with a look of awe and admiration on their faces. The guard captain even closed his feet with a "splash" and reported to Nuoyin respectfully.

"Miss II reported that it was the adult who came back. It seemed that he was chasing a robber on his way home from drinking, so he swam over from the other side of the river."

"You...you..." The Duke stared at the captain who had just made a promise with a gaze that was about to rush over and strangle him to death.

"My father is so happy to travel to the Rhine River at night..." Noeyin stopped in front of the duke with a smile on his face.

"This... there is a reason, Noyin, you...you know if you listen to my instructions..." A cold sweat appeared on the Duke's forehead and hesitated to explain to his daughter.

"Please change the wet clothes on your body first, Father. I will listen to your explanation before Qilin comes back."

"Qilin? Who?" The Duke showed a confused expression.

"... Qilin is Chechen's younger brother. He just arrived at the capital yesterday. I want to come. I plan to introduce him to you, but he has not come back yet..." Nuo Yin's gaze suddenly frozen behind the duke.

"The brother of the introverted son-in-law? How could he come to the capital of the king... Hey? Nuoyin? Are you listening?" The confused duke looked behind him following his daughter's gaze and saw the helpless black-haired young man.

"Ah, this little brother is definitely not a suspicious person. In fact, when I met a robber, he helped me, and it could be said that he was my benefactor..." The duke loyally helped Qilin to get rid of it, but he didn't understand the situation at all.

“…Qilin?”

"Well?"

"Qilin."

"That, Qilin is..."

"Yo...yo, Nuoyin." As the duke uncle looked confused, Qilin raised his hand with a weak expression and greeted Nuoyin: "I'm back."

……………………

Just when a family comedy was being staged in the Duke's Mansion, people with gloomy faces were exchanging gray topics in the Prime Minister's Mansion on the same street.

The owner of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Catos, the prime minister of the Kingdom of LaVillis, is a middle-aged man with gray hair. He is thin and has a gloomy face. He can easily give people the impression of being sinister, and his personality is completely in line with his appearance. Catos is determined to seize the highest power of the kingdom, and he arranged his confidants to hold important positions in the kingdom. He often uses various despicable means to plot against political enemies. Therefore, he was compared to a fierce raptor for consuming rot in private by the court ministers, but no one dared to call him out in person.

In short, with all the means far from the righteous and open, Catos established a huge force in the palace, and even the royal family of Lavelis was not taken seriously by him.

But the Isere family was excluded.

It can be said that the Isai family, known as the "Uncrowning Royal Family", is the supreme person who truly controls power behind the kingdom. If it weren't for the duke's retreat in a frustration and the departure of the two important figures, Catos would have no chance to win the throne of the kingdom's power. Even after two years of hard work, the power of the Embrion family is different now, and he still dare not easily touch the power of the "Uncrowning Royal Family". However, if he really wants to grasp the power of the kingdom, that family is an obstacle that cannot be avoided.

So far, Catos has not made up his mind to go to war with the Isere family, but the secretary's report forced him to make a choice.

"You said, the Isere's family has made some moves?" Katos rubbed the gray hair on his forehead and confirmed to the secretary who was standing respectfully in front of him.

"Yes, the cause seems to be the atrocities of Master Conrad, which aroused the righteous indignation of Prince Isere..." Tiana explained to Katos what she knew.

"Hmph, those trash." Hearing the news that the nine private soldiers were halfway through and their nephews were unconscious so far, Katos just frowned, and he was more concerned about other issues.

"Who is that person named Qilin?"

"Yes. Because time is in a hurry, my subordinates have not yet investigated more detailed information, but based on the exact information, he should have arrived at the capital yesterday and moved into the Duke of Isere." Tiana expressed his own speculation. "Although he himself does not admit that he is from the Duke's family, the Isere family gave him the "Sword and Wing". From this point of view, even if he is not from the Isere family, he must have a close relationship with the Isere family."

"His identity is not a problem, the question is whether his actions represent the attitude of the Iliere family." Catos played with the quill and pointed it out in a slightly annoying voice.

"As far as I see, he doesn't understand the situation in the royal capital. It is likely that he will prevent Young Master Conrad from taking action from being an individual impulse..." Tiana responded in a calm voice. "But no matter his personal wishes, our relationship with the 'Uncrowned Wang Family' will inevitably change, so I think it's better to prepare early."

"...It's true." Catos stood up, walked to the window, staring at the street scene outside, and stretched out his hand as if he wanted to hold the king in his hand. "Now, there is no obstacle in front of me. The steps leading to the highest throne are only the "Uncrowned Royal Family" level... Maybe it's time to destroy the annoying family and take everything in this country into my hands. What do you think?"

"I obey your orders." Tiana lowered her head respectfully.

"Okay, let's start with..." Katos looked up at the sky. A dark cloud just covered the moon, and the whole sky was pitch black. "Start with the young lady Isere who served as the chief of the Baixiang. The air cavalry unit she mastered, the "Cangkong King Cavalry" was the most direct threat to us. In the subsequent plan, that army was also an obstacle that must be eliminated."

Tiana listened quietly to Catos.

"Speaking of this, didn't she just wipe out a group of evil thieves yesterday?" Catos's mouth pulled an ominous arc. "Although it is an amazing merit, from another perspective, it can also be regarded as evidence of incompetence?"

"Your Excellency means..." Tiana frowned slightly. "Is the Heraldry Court?"

"Well, let Conrad do it. Didn't he happen to be on that airship that day?" Catos sneered. "Although it's useless waste, it can come in handy occasionally."

"...I understand." Tiana nodded and asked again. "In addition, what is your plan to deal with the young master named Qilin?"

"Don't worry, anyway, it's just a fool with brute force, and it won't affect the overall situation. I'll deal with him slowly when I have time." Catos waved his hand. "Our Majesty doesn't know what he is planning recently. I want to look at the palace, so let's leave this matter to you... Remember, it doesn't matter what method you use, the result is the most important."

Looking back on the last scene she saw during the day, Tiana did not agree with her boss's comments, but at present, Qilin is indeed a small existence that is powerless to affect the overall situation, so in the end she just spoke and said nothing and withdrew from the Prime Minister's Office's office without saying anything.
