Chapter 701 Open(1/2)
Moss is everywhere in the alley.
The young man was still in shock. He looked left and right, and as soon as his eyes fell on Xiu Ke, he immediately showed some sympathy and pity.
"Brother, thank you. I really didn't expect that you could still help me in the sea of suffering. Brother is so grateful. Alas, I don't say anything. Do you don't want to live such a life? Why not go back to Tianfan with me, Tianfan's women are as gentle as water and are particularly considerate to their men."
"When the Holy Master was giving lectures on Tiandao, he said that all successful men in the world should marry our Tianfan woman as a bride. Of course, it would be fine if it wasn't so successful."
Xiu Ke: "...Luckily, our girl is not here now."
"What's wrong with me not here?"
Yang Yuying jumped down from the red walls of the alley, and her toe hit Xiuke's shoulder. Xiuke raised her hand and made a step for her.
The young man saw Yang Yuying step on Xiu Ke's shoulders and step on his hand. He landed on the ground and put it on Xiu Ke and then put it on her cloak, then took the kettle and gave her water to drink water. He felt even more sympathetic to Xiu Ke.
Yang Yuying glanced at the man and smiled at Edward, "Are you finally willing to leave?"
Edward smiled embarrassedly.
Yang Yuying was also really tired. She first found a bluestone pier to sit down and beat her shoulders.
She and Xiu Ke have been monitoring the capital these days. They don’t have much physical labor, but their spirits have been tense. Xiu Ke still feels that if this continues, they will collapse first if they can’t wait for the war to start, so they decided not to stare at the surveillance all day, and instead use a more traditional stalking method to get closer and take a look.
Yang Yuying and Xiu Ke acted separately. Looking at the bustling and lively street market in the imperial capital, his tense spirits did relax a lot.
"What happened to this gentleman at the Marquis of John's house? Can you tell us?"
Xiu Ke's eyes turned and asked with a smile.
Yang Yuying glanced at him.
Xiu Ke coughed lowly: "Don't look at me like this. I didn't want to interfere. But since we met, it's still a good idea to understand the situation."
When the young man mentioned this topic, he was still scared and shook his head and said, "It's so scary."
"Our family made a marriage contract with the Marquis John's family in the early years. Marquis John's eldest daughter was about to marry me as a wife. I am twenty-two years old this year. According to Tianfan's rules, I should get married. I am just separated from the two countries. Although the elders occasionally communicate with each other, they are not very familiar with it. My parents are also a little confused about this marriage."
"After this year's extreme ice age, I listened to my parents' words to find my fiancée. If everything is normal, I would propose to my fiancée and marry her earlier. If anything happens, my parents would agree to discuss with Marquis John's family. It would be okay for the two families to break off the engagement."
"Anyway, the engagement was decided by both parents. It was back then, now it is now, and now the relationship between the two families is relatively unfamiliar. I believe that the John family may not necessarily want to marry the lady to a foreign country."
The young man looked nervous, "I arrived at the Yonglan Emperor Capital a few days ago, but I was nervous and a little scared. I delayed until the day before yesterday to come to me."
"I thought about it when I came to the door. Maybe this marriage is really a bit out of place. I am afraid I can't adapt to Yonglan's lady, but after all, it was a 20-year engagement. I knew this since I was a child and still had some thoughts in my heart. As long as I can, I don't want to refuse this marriage."
The young man sighed.
"I traveled thousands of miles across the ocean and encountered many difficulties and obstacles along the way before setting foot in the Yonglan Emperor Capital. Why are you willing to terminate the engagement casually? But I never expected that your Yonglan women are so terrible!"
"You are all from Yonglan. Have you ever seen it? Your women can eat people!"
The other party was as if he was furious, and his whole body shivered, "It's very scary."
Edward instantly thought of many terrible things, but his expression was calm. After all, he was actually a little mentally prepared.
Yang Yuying: "Haha."
The young man stared at their faces suspiciously for a while, then took a sudden step back, and tears were about to flow down: "Sure enough, you don't take it seriously, Yonglan's women really can eat people."
Yang Yuying smiled and patted his trembling shoulders: "Tell me, why do you eat people?"
"...I am from Tianfan Zige Academy, mainly to train the hearing of the five senses. Today I came to Marquis John's house and sat in the living room waiting for the lady to come out to meet me. It was quite comfortable at the beginning. There were a lot of beauties in Marquis John's house, all of whom were beautiful and gentle. The beauty of his skin was really not comparable to those of the girls in Tianfan."
Seeing that there were signs of a change of topic, Yang Yuying covered her lips and coughed lightly. He immediately came to his senses and continued, "It's just very beautiful, more beautiful than the girls I met along the way. I sat in the living room for a while, and then I heard someone in the distance notify my fiancée to come to the living room to see me. I was curious and paid more attention."
"I believe that any man cannot be curious when encountering this situation. Anyway, I am curious, so I listened deliberately. It doesn't matter. I actually heard my fiancée say that she had breakfast before seeing me to fill her stomach, so that she would not be able to help but talk as soon as she saw me."
The young man's face turned pale, "Do you know what breakfast she was talking about?"
Yang Yuying sighed: "People?"
"It's human."
The young man looked disbelief, "After a while, I heard her call her breakfast. She was a female slave with light steps and her voice was also very nice."
"I really thought it was a joke at first, and I thought my fiancée was young and liked to play, and didn't take it seriously. But the more I observed it, the more I felt something was wrong. The girl who was regarded as breakfast was really gone. I never heard her voice again since then. Not only that, the fiancée looked at me with a strange look, which made me feel uncomfortable all over."
"To this day, I saw... a little slave girl was washed clean, covered with flowers with dewdrops, carried into the lady's room... and then disappeared."
The young man shivered.
"I have really seen your Miss Yonglan!"
Edward also shook. He had never heard such a terrible ghost story before.
After hearing this, Yang Yuying frowned and was not in a very good mood.
Xiu Ke silently raised the communicator to show Miss Yang that not only Marquis John's family, but also the families of several noble families in the imperial capital were all severely affected areas.
"I'm going to find out the details."
Yang Yuying looked solemn.
Judging from the information alone, the pollution of the Marquis John's family was not the most serious, and there were many places that were more serious than their family.
Xiu Ke just nagged a few words to take into account the overall situation, but he didn't stop him.
Although he felt that necessary sacrifices for the final victory were inevitable, this was not a philosophical proposition, but a instinct for everyone to face the Zerg after years of bloody lessons from the Federation and the Empire.
Every time I face the attack of the Zerg, there are those victims, and most of the last words are not abandoned.
Everyone has already accepted that Zerg is a natural disaster.
However, Xiu Ke stood on the land of this planet, tasted the food made by the street vendors, and chatted with the old man who was resting on the road. These people were flesh and blood and souls. They were humans, not a number on the information. Speaking of the word "sacrifice", it was so heavy!
Xiu Kedao didn't feel that he couldn't bear the psychological burden, but he was a little worried about the little girls in their clan.
"Why!"
Yang Yuying whispered: "Xuke, you must understand that planning is something that will be broken at any time. Life is not a game, and this world does not revolve around us. Therefore, you must have the enlightenment of facing the sky and not following the wishes of others."
They thought the Zerg would not make trouble until the Federal fleet arrived and was eliminated obediently.
But this is just their wish.
Judging from the current situation, the Zerg is actually playing tricks like humans. Why should he ignore it, but it can really be as he wishes?
Yang Yuying was not sure.
"Let's go, discuss on the way."
Yang Yuying first threw the young man from the unlucky Tian Fan Kingdom to Edward, and Edward was responsible for handling it. He pulled Xiu Ke and the other two disappeared deep in the alley again.
Edward looked at the background of the two of them and was so heartless that he was in tears. How could he still have the mood to play with his friends? I'm afraid that when he met his friends he had known before, he would have to recall a ghost story in his heart.
Although I even wanted Yuyingjun to hang him on her body, I would take him with me in a row from now on.
Although there are countless guards around him and many masters, the number of knights is definitely not inferior to other members of the royal family, these people are really not as reliable as Yu Yingjun in his heart.
What a pity, he is a man.
Yuyingjun is a young girl.
He wanted to take it on others, but they refused to accept it.
Edward was uneasy, but this time, he didn't hide in the manor without going out because of his uneasiness. Instead, he seemed a little more active. He often carried painting tools around the imperial capital, read various map materials, and prepared his ship, and carefully inspected and repaired it several times.
In addition, the secret passages, secret rooms, and several security strongholds outside the manor have been re-planned, and all kinds of food and water that are resistant to storage are prepared. Even many magical instruments used by sorcerers who are more precious to the royal family have been found out and prepared.
Dai Wen also specially sent a batch of armor. Edward, who has always been beautiful, did not think that those armors were ugly. Not only did he wear them immediately, he would not take off his sleep, but he also gave his aunt a few items.
In addition, Edward had to walk around his relatives and friends' houses every few days, and went to the palace to see his father almost every day.
The father was busy with his affairs and he had to turn around at the door to feel at ease.
On this day, the sun was in the sky and heavy rain poured down.
Sun rains like this are not uncommon in the imperial capital, but they don’t fall for no warning.
Edward went into the palace to meet his father, and as if he had just rolled in the river, the female slaves on both sides hurriedly cleaned him up, and while cleaning up, he was holding back his laughter.
These female slaves like Grand Duke Edward very much, and there is no restraint in front of him. However, because the queen had just passed away, they did not dare to make loud noises too presumptuously, and only whispered to reveal the news: "Your Majesty has been surrounded by the adults of the Ministry of the Interior every day, as if it is the crown prince's business."
Edward nodded carelessly. Anyway, he had nothing to do with him when he was appointed as a crown prince. Prince Harry was the first heir.
Suddenly, a roar came from the bedroom not far away, with a quick and quick tone. Edward was far away and didn't hear it too clearly for a while. It was only a short time before the roar stopped.
The next moment, Prince Harry was like a mad cow, knocking out of the door and running away. Edward staggered and his heart jumped.
Several female slaves crawled beside each other, trembling.
Edward looked at Prince Harry's back and moved his feet, stretched out his hand to help them up, feeling their slender shoulders trembling in his palms, which was very pitiful.
He couldn't help but frown - Prince Harry paid great attention to etiquette and never had such a rude attitude.
Edward couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Fortunately, when he went in to see his father, the father hadn't changed much, but his expression seemed a little gloomy, but when he saw him, he seemed quite kind: "My Edward is here. I heard that your paintings have made great progress recently. Even the art teacher at the Imperial Capital Academy said that you will become a famous artist in the future."
The king looked kind and said, "Let's do it, seeing how hard you work, your father will give you some motivation. Just draw a portrait of your father. If you draw it well, I will give you Master Paul's "The Conquest"."
Edward's heavy mood couldn't help but feel a little excited. "Zheng" was a work from Master Paul's peak in his middle age, and it can also be regarded as his representative work, so he naturally liked it very much.
He agreed to his father's request with great pleasure. When Edward went out, he turned his head slightly and saw the sunshine falling from the window. Under the bright light, most of his father's face seemed to be in the shadow.
Edward paused and sighed. The queen and His Majesty had been with him for most of his life. Now that his father has become a widower, he is probably very sad.
