Yunqi Kingdom is a very small country, compared to its neighbor Tiancang, it seems to be as big as a city in Tiancang.

Yunqi Kingdom is located in the center of the desert, and it is short of water all the year round. When the city is covered by wind and sand, there will be times when the farmer's crops fail. At those times, there will be severe famine in the whole country, until they borrow food and water from other small countries around them. Only barely survived those catastrophes - no one can explain how such a country survives until now.

——If you have to say why, it is probably because this country advocates excessive force.

Someone will probably answer this way.

The Yunqi Kingdom does advocate force, and this is true—it is said that long, long ago, the founding emperor of the Yunqi Kingdom was just a bandit leader in the desert. I got acquainted with a lot of wanderers from all over the world, many of them are wanted criminals from other countries or famous martial arts figures...

So over time, his team of robbers gradually grew.

Decades have passed, and when this sand bandit is getting old, he has been wandering for a lifetime, and he has accumulated some wealth through robbery, so he always wonders if he should find a place Settling down to spend his old age in peace - but the caravans of these surrounding countries have been robbed by him all over the years, and his arrest warrants have been posted in almost all cities and towns in various languages, so relying on these countries It is impossible for one of them to take him in.

After much deliberation, the sand bandit finally decided to return to the place where he started from scratch, and established a self-sufficient country in the center of the desert. He named it Yunqi Kingdom—probably the meaning of "the initial land where the wind and clouds surged"...

But this is what the scholars of this country forced to think so - after all, the founding emperor of Yunqi Kingdom was a bandit, and there is probably no bandit in the world who can be so cultured and elegant.

——The above, this is the family history of Yunqi Kingdom, it is more casual than imagined.

In short, I said so much for the sake of explanation, precisely because of the identity of the founding emperor, the people of Yunqi respected force and insisted that "things that can be solved with one knife are definitely not many. If you can't, then use two knives." Based on such a principle, the country is almost dying of poverty, but it is not subjugated: after all, no one in the surrounding countries dares to provoke these bandits except Tiancang, which has a vast land and rich resources, and has many capable people and strange men.

And it was precisely because of their guts that the existence of the Great Cang Wubei Army did not scare them much.

Until a few days ago.

I heard from those soldiers who were full of confidence and prepared to kill the southern border of Tiancang Kingdom, but they were caught off guard and came back with a shit, that Tiancang Kingdom is completely crazy, and they found a monster to guard the south gate. Hundred feet high, blue-faced and fangs, roaring like a dragon, the clouds came from the sky, and the shadows they cast covered their entire army... Many soldiers were so frightened that they peed on the spot.

The appearance of that monster made Yun Qiguo, who was always fearless, finally hit the iron plate.

……

Yunqi is the capital of the country.

Sitting on the sedan chair, the young man in fine clothes was full of anxiety.

He kept lifting the curtain of the sedan chair to look outside, and kept urging the guards carrying the sedan chair outside: "Hurry up, hurry up."

The speed of the sedan chair increased, but the man swayed on the sedan chair, and the crown hat on his head swayed. He let out an "ouch" as he fell over while reaching out his hand to stabilize the hat. When he finally sat up straight and began to When the guards carrying the sedan chair were cursing uncleanly and wanted to shake him to death, at this moment, the sedan chair stopped again.

"What's the matter?" The man lifted the curtain with a grumpy expression, "Why didn't you leave? Did you have a broken leg?"

The guard standing upright outside pulled out the long sword in his hand expressionlessly, and then stabbed the long sword into the air in front-then a surprising scene appeared, the tip of the sword actually made a "clang" sound There was a loud noise, as if stabbing at some invisible obstacle, the blade of the sword bounced back with a buzzing sound, and even the face of the man sitting in the sedan chair twisted——

"Oh, this hazy, oh, the widow will know, oh."

The man said three "Oops" in a row, and then walked out of the sedan chair with a look of appointment and irritability holding his hair crown. Under the watchful eyes of the guards, the man passed through the road easily without any hindrance. A barrier that he couldn't get through—he walked past the barrier, turned around and waved at the group of guards behind him who were silently looking at him: "Go back, come here in an hour and wait for the widow."

Guards: "..."

"What are you looking at!" The man said angrily, "It's not the widow's fault that you can't make it through, let alone you, I'm afraid this ghost thing can't even fly in - that person inside deliberately wants to The widow walks to meet him! Oops!"

After the man finished speaking, he picked up the hem of his robe and shook it vigorously, then strode away with his head held high——

The rest of the guards looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a while.

The young emperor of Yunqi Kingdom walked a few steps on his two legs, turned around and looked at a courtyard from a distance—a courtyard completely different from the magnificent and vulgar palace of Yunqi Kingdom— —The courtyard is full of green plants, and a few red flowers whose names are not known even protrude from the courtyard to the outside of the wall... I accidentally reminded people of the roses on the wall of Wusai City, the young emperor He snorted and insisted that he hated such sissy things the most.

At this time, he had already arrived in front of the courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard seemed to have known for a long time that there would be visitors, and it was now wide open.

In the courtyard, a man was wearing a white hunting suit, sitting under the eaves. He was about 30 years old, and he looked a little older than the emperor of Yunqi Kingdom, but because he was so fair that he could almost see the light-colored blood vessels under his skin. The skin and the lips are too red, so at a glance, it is about the same age as the emperor.

At this time, he seemed to hear footsteps and undisguised rude panting from outside the door. The man raised his head, looked at the emperor who was standing outside looking at him aggressively, and smiled slightly: "When I woke up this morning, I The sidewalk is that the sun rises a few feet to the west than usual. I'm afraid something strange is about to happen—I didn't expect that this kind of thing really happened at this moment... Your Majesty, don't call anyone when you come , Forgive me for being unreasonable, and I am far away from welcoming you."

The man's voice was not in a hurry, with a tease that made people want to go crazy when they heard it.

Call someone to report?

As soon as the announcement is made, you will kneel at the door and greet the widow respectfully?

The young emperor snorted and said that he would not eat this set at all, and walked into the courtyard in a hurry, and glanced at the two cups of tea that had been set up beside the man, which were obviously freshly brewed, a hint of sarcasm appeared on his face : "You drink two cups of tea alone?"

"It's hot during the day, so keep the other cup cold, put it away and drink it." The smile on the face of the questioned person remained unchanged, "Now that His Majesty is here, it happens to be a cup for each person."

The young emperor showed an expression of "too lazy to listen to you talking nonsense with your eyes open", lifted his robe and sat down next to the man boldly, fell silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Yuzhen, I have something to ask of you."

"Oh?" There was a strange expression on the man's face, "The last time I heard His Majesty say this was 15 years ago. At that time, the late Emperor ordered His Majesty to wean you. Your Majesty begged Mizuma to steal the milk bottle from the nurse's room for you. -"

"..." The young emperor's face turned red and white, and finally he had to suppress the anger in his chest because he was asking for others, and squeezed it out through his teeth, "The imperial court pays you a salary every month, so that one day the widow will be with you." This is sitting and ordering you, not listening to your nonsense."

The smile on the man's face became clearer, with a faint trace of cunning. After playing enough, he slowly said: "I just accidentally recalled an interesting story when I was a child. Since your majesty doesn't want to listen, then it's counted. It's..."

"You've said it all."

"There are others."

"..."

"Please tell me, Your Majesty, why did you come to this little minister's shabby room?"

"Recently, there must be a capable person and strange person in Wusai City."

"Ok?"

"It's probably someone who does similar tricks with you."

"Trick?" The man raised his eyebrows.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... That monster was about a hundred feet tall, with a blue face and fangs, roaring like a dragon, riding clouds from the sky, and the shadow it cast covered their entire army..."

Hearing the emperor's description, an interesting look flashed in the man's eyes, but he said calmly and calmly: "That's all, how can you defeat the long sword and monkey shield in my Yunqi man's hand? I think our Yunqi army also went head-on at that time. Kill that giant beast without leaving a piece of armor—"

"Hazy."

"The minister is here."

"The widow hasn't beaten you since you took off the crotch pants, don't force the widow to do it."

"Oh." The man smiled calmly, "The giant beast is a giant dragon?"

"I heard it looks like a tiger."

"How can a tiger make a dragon cry? Did your majesty remember it wrong?"

"That's right." The young emperor looked irritated, "Later, the widow looked through many books, but they didn't find any similar monsters in the world that matched the descriptions of those soldiers, not only the classics of Tiancang Kingdom, but also the surrounding I have scoured all the collections of strange stories in other countries, but I haven't found anyone who can fit in—"

"Your Majesty can read books."

"..."

"I didn't invite my ministers to watch this rare spectacle once in a hundred years."

"The widow just flips through the paintings on it! How difficult it can be!"

"Didn't find it?"

"It didn't turn over."

"That means that monster doesn't exist in this world."

"……maybe."

"Did the Yunqi soldiers who came back mention the casualties?"

When the young emperor was asked this question, he suddenly froze for a moment, and then remembered one thing: Seeing that monster, everyone seemed to be running away in a hurry, and it seemed that they all ran back without losing a single soldier.

Seeing the young emperor beside him showing a somewhat dazed and confused expression, the corners of the lips of the man who was sitting upright raised his lips slightly: "So Your Majesty wants Yuma to find out."

"Yeah," the young emperor showed a mocking expression, "after all, you are traveling with me, aren't you curious?"

"Not curious."

"...He is more capable than you, he can make such a big monster to defend the city, at least you should go learn it humbly!"

"If His Majesty wishes, Oboro can also make a big monster to defend the city of Yunqi Kingdom," the man smiled. "The premise is that this country, which relies on looting everything, really has something to defend."

"Oh, you!"

The young emperor was so angry that he rolled his eyes without any image.

At this time, a gust of wind blows, the plants in the courtyard sway and make a soft rustling sound, and the fresh air mixed with the smell of soil and plants penetrates into the nostrils, and the yellow sandy weather outside the courtyard seems to be two worlds... …

Under the eaves, the two voices were arguing for a while, and after laughing and cursing, the voices dropped again, whispering, like the wind whispering.
