Data Wasteland

The dry and cool autumn wind blows through the old masonry streets, the leaves swirl and gently fall on the beautiful glazed tiles.

Such poetic scenery can be seen almost everywhere in the ice blue city of the thousand-year-old imperial capital.

A week has passed since the victory of Dadongting, the atmosphere of national carnival has gradually faded, and the streets have returned to their former tranquility. People hurried past to prepare for the coming winter.

With the reunification of the north and the south, the atmosphere did not become relaxed, but became more and more tense.

Military operations on the eastern plains became frequent.

Laixi occupies the trapezoid area of ​​the eastern plain north of Longhe, and its land area is about a quarter of that of the Principality of Xiaoyue, which is equivalent to that of the Duchy of Black Spear and Nice. The "Winter Wheat City", known as the "Little East Court", sent troops to occupy it.

Bai Ye Fenghua occupies the Great Eastern Court, using various means to win over and intimidate the local clan family, consolidate their dominance. Bai Ye Liufang went to Chunfeng City, the second largest city in the southern part of Xiaoyue Principality and near Moonlight Lake, to gain actual control.

Facing the small movements of Lacey and Bai Yefenghua, Chen Xing opened one eye and closed the other. As long as they don't fight, they can do whatever they want.

As lunch approached, Chen Xing left the Prime Minister's Office in the Hall of the Kingdom Council and went to the Candlelight Hall, preparing to go out with Triris to open a small stove and consolidate his dominance in the south.

No matter how much Lacey and Bai Yefenghua danced, as long as he managed Triris and Alia, they wouldn't be able to make any waves.

"Master Prime Minister!"

At the door of the candlelight hall, Chen Xing was suddenly stopped from behind.

Turning to look, it was Triris' housekeeper, Abel, with his hands in front of him, with a respectful look. I don't know where the other party got out from, and suddenly appeared behind him.

However, Chen Xing had no doubts about Abel.

Abel is an old housekeeper brought over by Triris from Noyce and has taken care of her daily life since she was a child. It can be said that Abel watched Trilis grow up. In a sense, he is half of Trilis's father. At the same time, Abel is also one of the few people Trilis is willing to believe in this world.

Since we met, Abel has been very kind to Chen Xing. He always smiles and respects him. No matter what he asks, he supports him unconditionally and never raises any opinions or views. Even better.

"Abel, good noon!" Chen Xing nodded and saluted, and he was full of gratitude for the old man who silently supported him.

Abel hesitated for a while and said, "Master Prime Minister, can you take a step to speak?"

Chen Xing couldn't help but look puzzled, "Can't you say it here?"

It's not that he doubts the other party's motives, but it's a little strange. This is the entrance of the Candlelight Hall, a forbidden place where strangers should not approach.

There are no outsiders, why do you deliberately avoid it?

I saw Abel glanced at the closed double doors of the Candlelight Hall with a little worry in his eyes.

Although he did not speak, the appearance of the other party fully explained the problem. The content of the next conversation, the other party did not want the person inside to know.

"Okay." Chen Xing nodded and made a please gesture to Abel. He really had no doubts about this kind old man.

Even if there might be a problem, or even against him, he doesn't care. Because this is the Ice Blue City Palace, Triris is not far away. Even if the opponent is a legendary powerhouse, he cannot pose a threat to him. Of course, this possibility is almost nil.

Because if Abel was against him, he would never have seen Triris back then. And later, from Trilis's words, Chen Xing could feel that Abel should have a credit for the reason why she had a good impression of him, a hairy boy. The other party seemed to have said a lot of good things about him in secret.

As for what purpose Abel brought them together, he did not know, but in general, Abel should have no ill will towards him.

Moments later, the two came to the Royal Back/Garden and strolled down the Crystal Stone Path.

Every time he walked, Abel stretched out his palm, and a translucent flat bug appeared in his palm.

The insect was completely transparent, with compound eyes on its back, and flew silently. It circled around the two of them a few times and gradually disappeared. But Chen Xing knew that it did not disappear, but disappeared, and was investigating nearby.

"This little flying insect that can't stand on the table is an old imperial spirit, able to listen to human voices and identify directions"

Abel introduced to Chen Xing.

The two walked in the garden for more than ten minutes, probably confirming that there was no eyeliner around Trilis - the black widow who also has the ability to stealth.

Abel cleared his throat and said, "Master Prime Minister, I have a few words, I don't know if I should say them."

Without waiting for Chen Xing to express his position, he continued, "But for the safety of the society and the future of the Prime Minister and the Queen, this old man has to say something even if he is trying to offend the Prime Minister today."

Chen Xing's face was straight and he said, "If Abel has something to say, please say it directly."

"Then I'll tell you the truth," Aberda paused and said, "Look for an opportunity to distract the queen and let the princess take the Ice Blue City. Is this what the Prime Minister said?"

Chen Xing's expression changed suddenly, and he was shocked. This was his private conversation with Aaliyah, how did he let the other party know!

"The old man didn't eavesdrop on purpose, it was just that the situation was critical at the time. Many hidden insects were placed around the palace, and I overheard the conversation between the prime minister and the princess." Abel explained that although the reason was a bit far-fetched, it was reasonable.

Chen Xing's complexion changed several times when the three and four lies were exposed, and then he smiled and said lightly, "I'm just talking."

"Master Prime Minister" Abel said with a complicated expression, "There are a few words that this old man has to say."

"The queen suffered hardships when she was young, and was infected by the imprint of the devil's life. Since then, her temperament has changed greatly, and she is different from ordinary people."

"Master Prime Minister, you are the most trusted person in the world of the Queen. Even her father and the old man who took care of her are not one ten thousandth as good as the Prime Minister."

"But the old man is not jealous, on the contrary, he is very happy."

"Since meeting the Prime Minister, the Queen has a happy smile on her face. She restrains her fierceness, cultivates her body and mind, and reveals a woman's motherhood and tenderness."

"This is the well-being of the world and the luck of the people."

"You must know how much disaster a supreme powerhouse with an unstable personality will cause to this world?"

"As elders, we feel sorry for her even more. She is like my daughter, as if one day she fell into a madness and we don't know how to deal with it."

"So, the appearance of the Prime Minister has given us hope and light."

"It is no exaggeration to say that you saved the queen and saved the world!"

Chen Xing couldn't help scratching his head and said, "Abel, I'm a little embarrassed for what you said." "This is the truth!" Abel said firmly.

"Haha!" Chen Xing scratched his head and scratched his ears, feeling a little embarrassed. This is to praise him for being a little white face and becoming a savior and saving the world. It always feels a little weird.

"However" Abel turned the conversation with a dignified expression, "You are the closest and most trusted person to the Queen in this world, if"

"Even if you betrayed her, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"She may lose her last humanity, intensify, and eventually die of madness"

Abel grabbed Chen Xing's shoulder, looked into his eyes, and said seriously, "In this world, anyone can betray her"

"Only you can't!"

Facing Abel's sincere and expectant gaze, Chen Xing only felt a lot of pressure.

"This, this I know." Chen Xing rubbed his face, slapped haha, and said perfunctorily, "I'm not trying to win over the relationship between their mother and daughter."

"The fat water hasn't flowed out of the outsider's field, don't you think?" Chen Xing followed suit, "They are always mother and daughter, blood is thicker than water, and they always have to get back together!"

"The Prime Minister is right." Abel nodded, agreeing, and then sighed again, "To be honest, it is the king's long-cherished wish for me and the king to let their mother and daughter recognize each other."

"As long as we can see them reconcile one day in this life, we'll close our eyes."

The king in Abel's mouth refers to the king of Noyce, who is also Triris' father and Alia's grandfather.

"Don't worry." Chen Xing patted Abel on the shoulder proudly, "I'll leave this task to me!"

"Master Prime Minister has this ambition, it is the great luck of the world!"

"but"

As soon as he turned his head, Abel poured cold water again, "The hatred between their mother and daughter is very deep, and it can't be resolved with just a few words."

"The queen regards the princess as the greatest shame in her life, and the princess regards the queen as her mother's enemy."

"The hatred is unforgettable, and I just want to kill it and then hurry up. Even if the Prime Minister has this intention, we can't be too hasty."

"Lest it backfires and backfires."

"Take your time, persuade them little by little, don't irritate them"

Then the two pulled home again, came out of the back/garden chatting and laughing, and then parted ways.

In front of the candlelight hall, Chen Xing looked at the towering and majestic double doors, feeling more and more pressure.

He thought of the memory of fifteen years of the last life, until he was shot to death by the big devil, the **** queen and the devil princess of Longxiaohe were in a state of incompatibility, but the two sides were tired of fighting, and then the north and the south were divided. A temporary peace has been achieved, but there is still constant friction and fights from time to time.

With his existence in this life, I don't know if it can solve the contradiction between the mother and daughter.

To be honest, he was not confident about it. Triris was obedient to him, but the two never got involved with Aaliyah, because he knew it was a minefield, so they never talked.

As for Aaliyah, his control is even lower. Maybe the other party is in a bad mood and directly turns his face and refuses to recognize him. This kind of thing has not happened before, it has been like this before, and it is not surprising that it happens again.

Thinking of this, his head hurts, and he feels that there is no hope in life.

Forget it, forget it!

He shook his head vigorously. Be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, let's talk about it when the time comes.
