Douluo's full-time soul master

"I...I'm not." There was an expression on Xiyan's face that Xiang Qian had never seen before.

It seems that she knows this very well, and I helped him break the window screen. "You look the most like me, and your temperament is the most similar to when I was young. But you have to know, the clan language of our Tianjiao family is 'incomparably wise and extremely tenacious.' No matter which side of the coin you flip, you must -"

"You have to face it bravely." Xiyan threw herself into Xianggan's arms, clasping his shoulders with both hands.Her red hair melted into her father's.The same fiery red, just like the golden autumn leaves flying around.

It seems that Xiyan is in good hands.Xiangqian thought.Then, you should set off for Bian'an as soon as possible.Chen Hui and Xirui are also going to be taken there. It’s time for them to see the world.Chen Yao and Xiyao are still young, so don’t go.As the heir, Chen Guang had to leave him in Jinxiu City to learn how to deal with large and small affairs.Anwen...my good wife, I think she is also homesick.Should I take her there?She will definitely ask to go along.But can I trust Chen Guang and Chen Yao?Oh, I almost forgot, Feilian can take care of them.With Feilian here, I can rest assured.

After dinner, Xiangqian called Chenguang to the hall.Except for the guard at the door, there was no one else.

This is my eldest son, my heir.Xiangqian thought.Chen Guang is neither fat nor thin, and has a moderate build.He is so similar to Anwen, even his temperament is the same.In front of others, he did everything very well; behind others, he left himself to music... Life in the morning light is like a sunflower, always facing the sun; only at night will he lower his head—— At this time, he is himself.

"Son, I thought of a name for you the day you were born. But it wasn't until your first birthday, when it was time to name it, that I whispered it: Morning Light. I carefully raised you to be a A veritable Tianjiao. Our Tianjiao family has always ruled the forest area with strength and wisdom. But, my son, the real way to rule is to protect the balance and create harmony, eliminate pain and suffering, and give happiness and hope to the people. I The reason why I tell you this is because my life will eventually disappear; that is, you are the Duke of Splendid City."

Chen Guang was confused. "Father, why are you telling me this? Could it be..."

Don't think blindly, kid. "Chen Guang? After I take your mother, Xi Yan, Xi Rui, and Chen Hui to Bian'an City, you will be the acting city lord of Jinxiu City."

"Father, I'm afraid I'm not up to the task? But I'll try my best." Chen Guang did this again.

"I believe you can do it." Xiang Qian looked down at his son. "One more thing. Tonight you go to the temple to keep vigil, and take this sword with you." He took off his sword, Red Vortex, and handed it to his son.This is a two-handed sword made of Titansteel - nothing in the world is stronger than Titansteel.There are not many such swords left nowadays.Because, to forge Titan steel, you need a master blacksmith and demon blood.Although the latter can still be obtained across the ocean, the former is almost extinct.

The son hesitated for a while, and then immediately changed into a look of joy.To be honest? This expression change is too stereotyped.

The next day, prominent figures in the city entered the castle to watch the canonization ceremony of Chen Guang. Although anyone with the status of a knight can be canonized as a knight, this is the heir to Splendid City after all.Xiang Qian must personally host it.

In the morning, Xiang Qian specially told Xi Yan not to dress randomly on such an occasion, because she was arranged to recite blessings from her family in front of the public.She wore a bright green hat, a bright green woolen robe, tied at the waist with a red tie, and a burgundy cloak with blue trim.

Oh—she's as strong and lean as I was in my youth.Xiangqian looked at his daughter and thought.If Xiyan were a boy? He would definitely be an excellent knight.

Xiang Qian didn't remember how he finished presiding over the canonization ceremony? He was focused on Chen Guang's future.His Chenguang was very weak before he was 12 years old? He had to take extraordinary measures to raise his eldest son to what he is now.However, the situation is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.Chen Guang tries his best to show off in front of others, but remains withdrawn behind others, so much so that he sometimes stays with his harp all night long, forgetting to eat or sleep.If only he had the wild spirit of Xi Yan!Even his appearance doesn't show any trace of Xiang Qian at all. Instead, he looks very much like his mother.

In the evening, there is a banquet.However, an urgent letter came at this time.

Xianggan felt something was wrong: His Majesty asked me to leave tomorrow?In such a hurry?What happened in Bian'an City?

——Donghua Continent——Donghua Kingdom——Rige Canyon——Bian'an City——September 398, 8, Yongxin Calendar——

"I heard that Lord Tianjiao in Jinxiu City will be here in a few days." Yuhui Muxia listened to passers-by while walking.

Yu Hui Mu Xia is the only daughter of the knight Yu Hui Pu, and she also considers herself a knight.Since she was a child, she traveled with her father to various Western city-states, and witnessed her father's transformation from a noble knight to a mercenary fighting for money.When his father decided to return to his hometown and regain the honor of a knight, Mu Xia asked his father to canonize himself as a knight.However, no lord was willing to accept his father's allegiance.Father had no choice but to act like a mercenary again, accepting the employment of a craftsman's guild in Bian'an City, the Emerald Hand, and becoming the security captain of the guild's headquarters.

Mu Xiasheng was tall and thin, but he became strong again through exercise.She has short, light-blond hair that looks like the setting sun, and is tied into a ponytail braid popular among the ladies of the city with a soft rubber band from the city-state of Asandia on the other side of the ocean.She inherited her father's brown eyes and her mother's thin lips and small nose.Her petite and cute face definitely does not reveal how strong her physique is.

During his wanderings with his father in various cities, Mu Xia not only learned good martial arts and the ancient Hamon language, but also got a suit of suitable equipment: a set of dark red chain armor, a pair of black iron boots, a A smaller steel fullhelm, and a two-handed greatsword forged of cold iron and bloody fel steel - second only to the Titansteel sword.When she got the sword, her father said: "This is your trophy, it belongs to you." So Mu Xia named it "Punisher".However, she usually stays with her father at the headquarters of the Emerald Hand, and she doesn't know how to wear military uniforms.She used to wear an orange dress with black trim and pattern.

The Emerald Hand had earlier accepted the bidding of the royal family to rebuild the Royal Emerald Garden, which was destroyed by the war, next to the Bian'an port area.Because the Minister of Finance Qingzhi Yunfei asked a very high price, Emerald Hand invested all the stonemasons, carpenters, and gardeners they could, as well as the highest quality stone, wood, and various imported precious flower seedlings.During the construction period, the noble officials responsible for the matter repeatedly assured the Emerald Hand that they would pay handsomely.In the end, the price was even promised to 15 gold coins.So Jade Hand invested 15 gold coins in raw materials, not to mention other expenses, and the final wages to be paid to workers and craftsmen.But since I can get [-] in the end, it's nothing, and the profit is quite considerable.

This morning, the Wang Family Jade Garden was finally ready for delivery.However, everything seems to be a deception.

The Commander-in-Chief of MI[-] and the important minister of the cabinet, Mr. Zhuma Yunzhuo, came in person. "Mr. President, you've done a good job." The intelligence chief smiled—yes, in Mu Xia's opinion, Master Chasing Curse is no different from the intelligence chiefs of the city-states on the other side of the ocean.

"My lord, thank you for your compliment. A craftsman's mentality should be perfect." Guild Master of the Emerald Hand said warmly, "I don't know how to get paid, how are you preparing?"

"I confirmed that I came here for this, sir. His Majesty the King said that the cost of the Emerald Garden exceeded [-], which is unbelievable. Therefore, he planned to dismiss the Minister of Finance—unfortunately, Lord Qingzhi was assassinated—and punish the one who overpriced of the officials."

President Yuan Yu seemed unable to stand. "Sir, then this...we..."

"The royal family will give you [-] gold coins as a reward for your hard work, but there is no more. As you know, the current situation is difficult. If you are not careful, the seeds of rebellion will take root and spread everywhere... .." The intelligence chief didn't know whether he couldn't help it or did it on purpose. In short, his smile looked extremely cunning.

Mu Xia couldn't just watch it like this.When she was a mercenary, she was a "venomous tongue", so that those with evil intentions could only watch from a distance and not play with it. "My lord," she stepped forward and gave the commander-in-chief of MI[-] a hard look, "What does His Majesty think of us? He thinks that [-] can send us away? He doesn't want to—"

"Enough!" President Yuan Tu Wen stopped Mu Xia, "Don't talk to your lord like that." Then he turned to the commander, "My lord, I'm really sorry."

"It's nothing. I've been used to unruly people since I was young. Having said that, if you have any objections about the price, you can go to your Majesty to argue. However, I have a good idea, but don't say it was me who said it... In this way, our good Majesty always listens to people's words only when there is chaos... You can march on the streets to protest..."

While the president was pretending to listen to his nonsense, the intelligence leader suddenly stopped and left in a big way.After the people walked away, the president broke out, "It's really unreasonable!!!"

The chairman's roar attracted Mu Xia's father, Yu Huipu, who was standing guard at the door. "President, what's going on?"

"Those goddamn nobles and this tyrant deceived us! Played us in the palm of their hands!" Yuan Tu was furious. "The No.18 layer of hell is left to them!"

"What's the matter?" Yu Huipu still didn't get the answer he wanted.

At this time, Mu Xia answered for the president: "Wang Jade Garden... we can only get [-] gold coins as reward." Then, Mu Xia analyzed the specific situation to his father.During this period, the president left the guild headquarters in silence, and everyone else present also left one by one with heavy hearts...

The next day, the president called several important members of the guild, including Mu Xia and her father, to discuss countermeasures. "Forty thousand gold coins can't even get back the original, we have to ask for more."

"These bastards!" Tianqi Yakang, a white-bearded stonemason, cursed in a low voice. "No matter how hard we try, we will never be able to recover our capital. And those workers, my artisans, what about them? What about their wives and children? We are caught between two mountains!" The members of the Emerald Hand shouted.

"This matter must be properly resolved." The president suppressed the scene with his remaining rationality.

The young red-haired carpenter Lankai Dalong jumped up furiously, "President, is the matter unclear? They don't pay attention to us at all! They treat us like monkeys!" Then he was scolded by the president and sat down. Down.

Nai Huang Qiugui, an old gardener, coughed twice, and said unhurriedly: "When will the nobles and princes and ministers put us in the eyes?"

"But this is a blatant deception!" Mu Xia retorted the old man, "Is this the nobleman's morality? Is this the honor of a knight? What the hell!" She was filled with righteous indignation, and she didn't know who to vent her anger on.The rulers of the trading city-states across the ocean would never dare to underestimate the power of merchants and craftsmen, otherwise they would suffer and their rule would be unstable.

"Shut up!" Yu Huipu yelled to stop her daughter. "It has nothing to do with the honor of the knight. You just need to make sure you look like a real knight."

Mu Xia swallowed, and said sourly: "Yes, a real knight will punish the bad guys and protect the weak."

"Then what should we do? Chairman?" Lankai Daron still couldn't control himself.

The president shook his head, "I will try to negotiate with the princes and try my best to get the benefits we deserve. If not..." He pondered for a moment, "Soon, Lord Tianjiao and his family from Jinxiu City will come, Mrs. Skyhorn is the sister of His Majesty the King. The important officials of the palace will accompany the royal family out of the city to greet them, and the streets will be filled with ordinary people. We should mobilize as many people as possible to demonstrate and let everyone in the city know about this. At least, we can put some pressure on the royal family, and it is not impossible to recover more losses. The premise is that our struggle must be legal. Otherwise, they will not give us half a copper, and they can also ban us according to law. Everything..." Chairman Long Wen said with a serious face, "Is the parade still legal now?" he asked suddenly.

"It's legal." The white-bearded mason said, "No one has done this for a long time, but it's not banned."

"Mobilize as many people as possible, if you don't mind, bring your own family with you."

After the meeting was over, Mu Xia took her thorium dagger to the street, passed through Guiyu Lane, turned into Longqing Avenue, and after a while turned left into Heizhong Street in the east of Gutaqiu, and entered the "Reunion Puppy" public cafeteria.She ordered a large wooden mug of sour beer and some bacon, found a secluded corner, and ate casually.

"Sir? Miss?" A familiar voice came to my ears, as frivolous and energetic as ever.

Mu Xia knew who this was—who else could it be?Withered Ye Yanxu, there is no one else but him.The first time this guy knew that Mu Xia called himself a knight, he joked, "Then what should I call you? Sir? Miss?"

Seeing her calm, he sat next to her. "You look unhappy, who messed with you? Why didn't you beat him up? It's not like you." He leaned in front of her and made a face, "What's the matter with you, Xia Xia?"

Mu Xia blushed, originally imagined pushing Yan Xu to the ground like every time before, but on second thought she had to give up.She told the young arms dealer everything that happened today.This guy has more than [-] brothers who know how to use weapons, most of them are street gangsters, vagabonds, and small traders.Perhaps these people can be mobilized to participate in demonstrations.

Suddenly, a few sneaky people entered the cafeteria, took their meals and sat not far from Mu Xia and Yan Xu.There were five people in the group, one of whom had a hood covering his head, and the other four were also wearing hooded cloaks.Mu Xia couldn't hear what they were saying, but she felt that the hooded man's voice sounded particularly like someone he saw today... The other black-haired man sitting next to this man was extremely ugly: his mouth was disproportionately big. , two eyes, one big and one small, and the worst thing is that he also has a pair of frightening ears...
