Surprise Circus

"But... why did you tell me?" Ah Li frowned, guessing the purpose of Gongsun Qian telling him this matter.

"Because other people are not trustworthy." Gongsun Qian simply broke the jar, "Qiu Zhen seems to have too many secrets, Qi Zhikan is his partner, and he never tells Qi Zhikan anything else, and Qi Zhikan He is very skilled, he could have done many other jobs, even if he was in the army, he would not worry about not being able to earn a knight to do it, why did he come here to be a clown? Zhong Kunyi is very knowledgeable, even if he goes to school to be a teacher, he will not worry about it. No problem, why is he here as an animal trainer? Why can he tame wolves?"

Ah Li was silent, he already knew what Gongsun Qian said, so Gongsun Qian would not let him go.

"Geng Yin and Geng Chen are here with you. They are obviously your subordinates. Seriously, I don't understand you people." Gongsun Qian squeezed his forehead, "But at least you are a group of three, I'm even sure that Mr. Baffin must have something for you, but other people... are too dangerous, and I can't trust them."

Seeing that Gongsun Qian was honest, A Li no longer concealed it, and sneered, "Indeed, Cassien knows a secret that will kill me, so I have to stay here. What is your purpose here? Gongsun Qian, you are a god." Wouldn't it be a pity for Xuan to be a scholar who graduated from the best school in the past, doing odd jobs in a circus?"

"I'm really just working here, and I'm the boss's secretary, not a handyman!" Gongsun Qian was tired, "Tianxuan is no longer here, what's the use of how good my alma mater used to be, now the high-ranking officials in the capital are Bishops of the Church of All Beings, what is the use of my efforts?"

All sentient beings teach... Ah Li's eyes seemed to be even darker.

"That's not necessarily true. Your grand duke is just missing. As long as you find him, Tianxuan will have a chance to regain his former glory."

"If there is a day, I will definitely go back to serve Duke Tianxuan, but now... well, I can only stay and work in a circus." Gongsun Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Ah Li said nothing, just like what Gongsun Qian said, they were either hired by Cassian, or Cassian had a handle on them, so Jian Bin really came here because he was a wizard to avoid being chased by the Sect of All Beings. Hiding from the circus?

"Your Majesty," the bishop from the capital asked Zhi Ming who had just returned to the palace with a hypocritical smile on his face, "Your Majesty ordered to build churches throughout the country, but Tianquan has not responded for a long time..."

"But Tianquan doesn't believe in the Sect of All Living Beings. Besides, I have so many things to do every day, so I'm very busy." Zhi Ming took off his gloves while arguing with the bishop, and the snake scale on his left hand made the bishop take a step back, "and Today I met a rare beauty in the circus, and I decided to pursue him tomorrow! I really don’t have time for church affairs!”

"The circus?! But the circus near the castle recently?!" The bishop turned pale with shock, "That circus...I heard that it's all men!"

"Yeah, the beauty who walks the tightrope, his name is A Li." Thinking of A Li, Zhi Ming showed an obsessed expression, "I want him to be the Duchess of Tianquan!"

"No, no, no! This is absolutely impossible! How can it be possible for a man to be a man..." The bishop turned pale with fright at the thought.

"What? Why not?" Zhi Ming felt that the bishop was unreasonable. "I am not a believer in the Sect of All Beings. Logically, as long as my wife meets the requirements of the law of heaven and power, that's fine!"

"That...the duchess that the right demands..."

"As long as I like it, he agrees!" Zhi Ming announced loudly.

The bishop fell on his back in anger, and the two little priests behind him quickly supported him.

Zhi Ming didn't care what the bishop said, humming a brisk tune, and bouncing back to his study.

But it was his teacher who was waiting for him in the study.

"Teacher." Zhi Ming bowed his head guiltily.

"I heard what you said to the bishop outside!" Weng Tong was also angry, but it wasn't because Zhi Ming liked a man, "I originally wanted to propose to Tianxuan for the Duke, and hoped that Duke Tianxuan would give one of his The cousin got married, but the matter of Duke Tianxuan's disappearance was left behind, although the teacher knew that you wanted to marry someone you liked, but the current situation does not allow it!"

Zhi Ming raised his head, "Teacher, I understand your concerns. Duke Tianji was backlashed by witchcraft and the duchy was divided up by several great witches. The heirs of Yang Yaoguang have also encountered accidents one after another. Now the only principality left in the country is Tianquan, and His Majesty has not left the palace for many years, and all political affairs are controlled by the Pope of the Church of All Beings..."

"That's right, the Sect of All Beings uses the wizard as an excuse to disrupt the country, and hunts down wizards everywhere, even the scientists of Tianquan!" Weng Tong sighed, "I don't know if your majesty has..."

"Teacher!" Zhiming's eyes were full of desire and light for power, and it was only in front of his teacher, "You don't need to think about His Majesty's affairs, even if he is alive, he must be unreliable."

"Duke!" Weng Tong was also very serious, "Have you thought about it?!"

"Well, only by sitting in that supreme position can we pull out the thorn of the Sect of All Beings!" Zhi Ming raised his left hand, the snake scales reflected green light under the gorgeous lights, "And this curse of following our family , Your Majesty and the others... it is also time to repay the debts owed by their ancestors."

Since Zhi Ming saw the circus performance last time, he came to see them every day. To be precise, he came to see A Li.

But Zhiming was very quiet, he didn't bring many guards, and just quietly watched their rehearsal.On the contrary, Qiu Zhen and Qi Zhikan were a little embarrassed. After all, it is not mysterious to rehearse farces in front of Zhi Ming, so they can only find a corner to practice with each other.As for the others, it's fine, Zhong Kunyi still hangs out with his pack of wolves every day, and Jian Bin is also calmly practicing some of his magic routines.

"Actually, you guys can have some interactions. Don't Geng Yin Geng Chen and Ah Li have some interactive performances? You can too." Zhi Ming said suddenly.

Zhong Kunyi squinted her eyes and thought for a while, "It is indeed possible, clowns and animals can have interactive performances."

Jian Bin looked indifferent, "But Zhong Kunyi's wolf will scare my rabbit and crow."

"Why do other magicians use white doves and you use crows?" Zhi Ming was puzzled.

"...crows are smarter." Jian Bin didn't want to explain, because both crows and rabbits were his envoys.

"The clown and the magician can also interact, you can choose one as your assistant." Zhi Ming mentioned casually.

"Qi Zhikan!" Jian Bin didn't give time to Zhong Kunyi to choose.Zhong Kunyi was annoyed that she was a step too late, and could only partner with the enigmatic Qiu Zhen.

Zhi Ming leaned back on the chair and continued to watch A Li practice dancing on the tightrope.

However, Cassian was not optimistic about this kind of interaction, it was just that he couldn't veto these outright proposals, and he could only let the circus members play freely.

But the fact is that because of Zhiming's suggestion, the circus performances are more vivid, the diversity is greatly improved, everyone is more popular, and the tickets for each performance are sold out quickly, even showing Ling Guang and Meng Zhang during the daytime. The ticket also became popular, and being able to wear gorgeous robes every day made Ling Guang a lot more peaceful.

Cassien made a lot of money, and used it as an excuse to flatter Zhiming for several days, hoping to entertain Zhiming once as a reward, so scared that Zhiming would avoid him when he came to the circus, but he also "big" "Send mercy" to give the group members two days off, so A Li sneaked into the shed where Ling Guang was closed while everyone was not paying attention.

Ling Guang, who was sitting in the ornately decorated small wooden shed, was drinking tea quietly, when he saw Ah Li coming in, he immediately glared at him and turned his head to ignore him.

"Ling Guang, I want to know...is it because of Jian Bin that you became like this?" A Li was not polite, and asked straight to the point.

Ling Guang listened to A Li's words and looked at A Li in surprise. The two of them were in a stalemate for about ten seconds. Ling Guang nodded, then shook his head again.

A Li frowned, not understanding what Ling Guang meant.

On the other side, Zhiming in the castle was rushing to the circus to delay government affairs during the day.

Since a bishop came to Tianquan, he began to set up priests in Tianquan and urged Zhiming to order the construction of the church.But Zhiming didn't want the Sentient Sect to preach in Tianquan. There are no wizards in Tianquan, and there are only a group of madmen who are crazy about science... There are also a group of counselors and capable people from Kaiyang.

No, Tianquan is not strong enough now, and he doesn't have the handle to teach sentient beings, so rashly starting a war is extremely detrimental to Tianquan.Zhi Ming rubbed his forehead.

"Your Excellency seems to be very troubled?" A black figure suddenly appeared by the window. Judging from the silhouette, it was a tall man with a hood.

"That's right, as the grand duke of a principality, how can he enjoy himself leisurely every day?" Zhi Ming didn't rush.If the assassin had already started, how could he waste time arguing with him.

"Have you ever heard of a curse?"

"Oh? What kind of curse do you think I'd be interested in?"

"What if it is closely related to your family?" Hei Ying asked what Zhi Ming wanted to know the most.

"...Yeah, a curse passed down from generation to generation by the men in our family. As long as he is the Duke of Tianquan, he is also a half-human, half-snake curse. I hate this curse, I hate this physique, every winter I will either look like a snake Ordinary hibernation, or being groggy all day long and unable to wake up... all thanks to this curse, my ancestors and my father almost all died because of this curse." Speaking of the latter, Zhi Ming gritted his teeth.

"Does your excellency lift the curse?" The black shadow continued to seduce Zhiming.

But Zhi Ming stood up and walked towards the black shadow by the window, "I'm afraid it's not just my family who are cursed, right? Magician? Your voice is very special, I knew it was you when I heard it."

Hei Ying took off his hood, revealing his face. It was indeed Jian Bin, but he was not wearing the symbolic sunglasses. Zhi Ming could clearly see Jian Bin's cat-like eyes.

"Your Excellency is not wrong, not only Tianquan, but also the Duke of Tianji has been cursed for generations, but we as wizards can naturally avoid it through witchcraft, but..."

"Your Excellency's generation still can't handle it anymore?" Zhi Ming showed a playful smile, "No wonder, Duke Tianji often presides over ceremonies, and no one has ever said anything wrong with Duke Tianji, except you."

Jian Bin didn't speak, just looked at Zhiming.

"Magician, are you here to win me over? But you need a bargaining chip."

Jian Bin sneered, showing his pointed canine teeth, "I know A Li's secret and background, do you have enough chips?"
