The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"Yes, Your Highness." Xi suppressed his anger and stepped forward to check the goods. He lifted a wooden box that was half a person's height with one hand, pried open the wooden strips that protected it from shock, and checked them one by one.

But obviously, what is piled up at the dock is not enough.

"This is only one-third of what's in the contract. Do you want to breach the contract?" Xi became even angrier. Humans were too cunning. They were all bad.

"You can't say that. Things are precious and it takes time to collect them. Don't worry. These are advance payments. How could the empire break its promise?" The official smoked a cigarette, shook his head, smiled complacently, and spoke tactfully.

"Isn't that what you said? Your Highness Baiwei?" After he finished speaking, he asked You Mu again.

In the past, for the sake of the greater good, those small countries would have swallowed their anger and kept silent. The obese official, who was unaware of the situation, expected that Tislanton would also suffer a loss.

The tip of the bone whip suddenly flew into the air and pierced the fat official's neck.

Before he could get a response, blood gushed out of his neck and he fell backwards with his eyes wide open.

The whip, which was so flexible that it seemed to have life, swung its tail in the sea water, washing away the blood stains on it. Retracting the whip in his hand, You Mu said to the official's corpse calmly, "You are not qualified to talk to me."

"Alert! Alert!"

The incident happened so suddenly that the official who was alive just a second ago died instantly. The reception staff around him were all panicked. Some took out their guns, some took out their shields. At this moment, they didn't think that the threat of these two people coming to Tislanton was worthy of attention.

With guns and swords pointed at him, You Mu held down Xi who was about to draw his knife, and said nothing.

"How dare you! Put your guns down!" A man came from a distance, carrying the remaining trading goods delivered by the workers behind him. As soon as he arrived, he angrily scolded his own people for their rudeness.

"Your Highness, please don't blame me. Zach didn't know the content of our transaction. He just asked him to wait here. I came to supervise the integrity of the goods, but I didn't expect that there would be trouble. His Majesty attaches great importance to your visit this time. The carriage prepared for you has arrived. Please come in!"

The later high-ranking official was dressed in a church robe, looked middle-aged, had a rare light blonde hair color, and deep blue eyes. He looked like a priest. He had a humble attitude that was completely different from the officials who had died before. He smiled and was respectful to the foreign prince.

The minor officials around were also confused by the situation. Although they put away their weapons, they looked dazed. It was obvious that they were confused by the completely different behaviors of the two leaders.

But they also knew that the person who came had a higher position, so they changed their attitude accordingly.

[Who is he? ] I don't know where he came from. He looks hypocritical and has a creepy smile.

[He should be a close confidant of Bird. I heard from Argonas that he seems to have some relationship with Bird.]

You Mu actually knew this person, Ilda, who was both a church clergyman and a member of state.

He had heard about this identity from Argonas when he was with Fred. If it was an ordinary official, he might not be able to match it up, but this Ilda held several positions and his attire was easy to identify.

Besides, there was another reason why the other party left a deep impression on him.

[What?] Tian Dao got excited when he heard the gossip.

[It seems that she is Bird’s lover. ]

【Oh?】Then it will have to observe this person carefully.

[You don't squat in the corner anymore? ]

[…Oh] When his sad memories were touched upon, Tiandao thought of himself who had accomplished nothing. He pursed his lips and went back to drawing circles.

The people of Eniya are open-minded and do not discriminate based on sexual orientation. In the upper class, dignitaries also have the habit of keeping male concubines. Even Emperor Bird had many male concubines around him when he was young.

As for why only Ilda's status has lasted for a long time, it is probably because he helped Bird regain the church's monopoly, and they belong to a community with bounden interests.

It is worth mentioning that these things are inside information. It took Agonas a long time to figure them out. Naturally, others don’t know about them, and I’m afraid even Concubine Paulina is kept in the dark.

That's even more interesting.

You Mu saw clearly that the man from Eniya had two different tactics. The fat and big-eared man was used to test him.

The first was to provoke him and test the mermaid's fighting power, and the second was to test Tislanton's attitude towards Enya. If he swallowed this contemptuous treatment, he would be easily manipulated in the other party's mind.

He signaled Xi to count again, and only after the other party confirmed that everything was correct did You Mu roll up the sea water to send all the goods back to the bottom of the sea.

An official died, and during this period, the people who came from Eniya became unusually silent for fear of offending him again. After seeing this miraculous water control ability, they shrank even more and stayed away from the sea without leaving a trace.

"Second Prince, shall we go?" Ilda waited quietly on the side, and only stepped forward and asked when she saw the other party collected the supplies.

The carriage had already stopped on the side of the port, very close and you could get on it in just a few steps.

"Yeah." You Mu nodded, patted the black wolf under him, and was led over by the other party, with Xi following closely behind.

The carriage was not small, and the seats inside were padded. After You Mu sat in, Black Wolf also jumped in and squatted on one side.

In order to ensure You Mu's safety, Xi sat outside the carriage and observed every move around him.

A team of carriages slowly left the port and headed towards the road leading to the palace.

Although Cangzhu City is adjacent to the capital, it is still some distance away, and carriages can still travel this road.

"Get down."

You Mu sat in the carriage and ordered the beast-like Argonas to lie down. The wolf's fur was long and dense, and it was very comfortable to step on.

The carriage windows were mostly open and there were spies everywhere, so Argonas could not speak. But it was obvious that he was experienced in pretending to be an animal and had no sense of shame. Instead, this disguise magnified his shameful behavior.

The black wolf tilted his head back and licked the mermaid's palm, then he lay down, turning over his soft belly for the other to step on and play with.

The barbs scratched his calf, causing a tingling sensation, and You Mu retracted his leg.

"Don't lick."

The black wolf deliberately moved gently, fearing that his rough tongue would scratch his flesh, but as he did so, You Mu gradually realized that something was wrong.

How is this different from flirting?!

It feels good to step on him, right?

The wolfskin mat was comfortable to walk on, but after she recovered, the mermaid discovered the other party's sinister intentions.

After stepping hard on the wolf's tail, You Mu retracted his legs and lay sideways in the carriage.

It would take about two more hours to get there, and just sitting there would be tiring. He had the life-saving medicine in his hand, and even without Xi's vigilance, Bird would have arranged guards to strictly monitor the journey, so the chances of anything going wrong were very low.

Even if Terrence and Eamonn didn't want Bird's condition to get better, they wouldn't be so obvious as to do it on the road. If they were discovered and angered Bird, it would be more trouble than gain.

You can relax a little and get some sleep for now.

"I'm asleep. Watch carefully and don't mess around." Reaching out and grabbing the wolf's ears, You Mu turned over and lay down in a comfortable position.

The black wolf shook his head silently, propped himself up, got close to the mermaid, and squatted beside the window.
