    ?

    Mu Qiao looked at the envoy who was more like the master than the master from Xu Yi's strong arms, her eyes sank slightly, this was the first time she saw the existence of an element that could be called discordant, but now  At this stage, there is no other way except patience.

    "That person, I can't move for the time being. Qiaoqiao, your identity needs to be kept secret." Xu Yi softly comforted Mu Qiao, for fear that this detached little guy would be angered.  The soft little girl in the middle feels that her thoughts seem a little too much, and Mu Qiao doesn't seem to be such a reckless existence like Yan.

    Mu Qiao didn't think about killing people. Although it was the first time she used divine power in this world to kill people, she was still opposed to violence and blood. However, I have to say that what Xu Yi said could not be moved still made her  His heart began to move around, probably because of a rare rebellious psychology: "What will happen if you kill him?"

    "He is the envoy sent to me. If he dies, he will definitely give an explanation." Without thinking about what Mu Qiao was thinking, Xu Yi explained to Mu Qiao very naturally, halfway through the journey  , he followed Mu Qiao and let her go. However, in order to play a full set, he still relied on Mu Qiao in a leading posture.

    After hearing this, Mu Qiao thought for a while, and thought, maybe, it would be good to use the envoy as a trigger to directly give the current king a blow. After all, according to Xu Yi's previous plan, the things to be done are about  It's about the same.

    After welcoming the envoy into the city, Xu Yi also showed his kindness as a landlord and served him with delicious food and drink. However, soon, a topic that could be regarded as deliberately embarrassing was brought up.

    It turns out that after the death of the previous king and the new king took the throne, there has been no queen. Therefore, in this year's mission, there is one more thing, which is to ask the subordinate cities to send twelve queens to each of them.  A pleasing beauty in order to achieve the purpose of electing a queen.

    Mu Qiao leaned against Xu Yi's side, listened to such an order with lowered eyes, and felt that, as expected, the status of women under the imperial system was really pitiful.

    "I don't know how to choose these twelve beauties." Compared with Xia Tang's subordinates who could not sit still, Xu Yi was much calmer. He stroked Mu Qiao's black hair unhurriedly, raised his  Mou asked.

    The emissary explained with a smile: "Well, we need the full support of the city lord. All the unmarried girls in the city are required to accept the inspection of this emissary. I will select twelve beauties."

    "Unlike other tributes, these candidates will follow me to the royal city." Seeing that Xu Yi didn't seem to have any objection to this request, the envoy added another sentence, as if he wanted to challenge the other party's bottom line.

    It is reasonable to say that this kind of practice of filling things with people, except for some city lords who have this kind of hobby, generally no one will do it. However, the monarch has spoken, and the following city lords have to follow.  However, this kind of action of selecting beauties in the whole city is enough to be criticized by bards.

    Seeing that Xu Yi was silent, the emissary got up and patted the dust that didn't exist on his body, and touched his stubble-covered double chin, smiling in a particularly disgusting way: "I don't think this emissary will cause trouble for you.  Now, when I, an outsider, is away, hold a meeting, tomorrow, I hope to give a clear response."

    "No need, everything is according to your arrangement." Seeing this, Xu Yi got up and responded with a chuckle, but from Mu Qiao's perspective, the slender hands were tightly clenched together.

    Under the eyes of everyone, the messenger hummed a little song and left. Mu Qiao pursed her lips, raised her hand to hold Xu Yi's hand, and slowly opened the tightly clenched hand bit by bit.

    "I'm fine." Awakened by the slight coolness in the palm of his hand, Xu Yi slightly lowered his head to look at Mu Qiao, and shook the cool little hand comfortingly.

    Mu Qiao raised her eyes and looked at this young man who was obviously not in trouble, and the awkwardness in her heart dissipated. For Xu Yi now, the death and killing caused by exposure are more serious, so the next best thing is to just  can obey such orders.

    However, Mu Qiao glanced at the people at the dinner party, and still had such hesitation in her heart, but, is she really going to obey this arrangement and make those girls a commodity for sale?

    A broad palm brushed over Mu Qiao's head lightly. Xu Yi tidied up his clothes and chased after him. Then, in the silence, the not-so-happy dinner party came to an abrupt end, and everyone scattered after looking at each other.  left.

    Mu Qiao was the last one to leave the main hall. However, there was already someone waiting for her not far away. Mu Qiao was actually not very familiar with this person. After all, apart from Xu Yi, she was only interested in Yuehua and Yan.  There is contact."My lord priest, you probably don't know me yet. I'm the one who advises His Highness. You can just call me by my name, Yuri." Yuri is taller than Xu Yi, and he stopped Mu Qiao.  In front of him, it was like a wall.

    Mu Qiao raised her eyes and glanced at Yuri when she heard the words, then nodded, and was about to leave this place that made her uncomfortable, but before taking a few steps, she was blocked by this wall again.

    "So, what are you looking for me for?" Mu Qiao originally didn't want to talk to this unfriendly existence, but the other party seemed to have something to say, so she only frowned slightly and asked.

    Yuri knelt down on one knee, and finally descended from the overwhelming height. He raised his eyes to meet Mu Qiao's puzzled eyes, and said, "My ability is to read minds, and that messenger didn't receive that.  Order, the beauty pageant is nothing but his selfishness."

    "You didn't talk to Xu Yi, but you stopped me. What's your purpose?" Mu Qiao didn't intend to deal too much with this person who was not easy to deal with.  Her long hair slid over her shoulders, bringing a faint fragrance.

    Yuri didn't seem to expect Mu Qiao to be so sharp, so he raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise, and said with a light smile: "Since it wasn't that person's request, then, I hope that this time things can't be achieved, after all, if  If you can't even protect the wives and daughters of your subjects, how can His Highness get the corresponding support and love."

    "However, I don't know how to read minds. How can I judge whether what you said is true? After all, it's a waste of divine power to use lie detection." Mu Qiao didn't intend to follow the other party's rhythm, she was condescending  He glanced sideways at Yuri, said a word, and walked around the slightly startled man.

    Standing up and looking at the too fragile and petite back, a smile flashed in Yuri's eyes. His mind reading is very limited, so Xu Yi or Mu Qiao are useless, but for those who have not yet ascended the throne  Xu Yi, he can still investigate one or two things, so he just finds it very interesting at the moment. It seems that Mu Qiao in front of Xu Yi is not the same existence as the priest he just faced.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
