One of the Twelve Kingdoms

"Xin Qi, where is my phone?"

"You didn't bring it, there is no mobile phone here."

"Oh..." Joshua was quiet for a while, then suddenly asked, "Where is my cell phone?"

"Sorry, according to Qiaoguo's ability, it can't be made yet." Xun Qi and the maid threw him on the bed together, and replied lightly.

"Oh..." Joshua nodded, staring at the gems on the ceiling in a daze, squinting his eyes because of the dazzling brilliance, and asked, "Where is my phone?"

There is nothing stupider in the world than arguing with a drunk. Dealing with a drunk is almost a punishment.Yan Qi closed her eyes and let out a sigh of relief, she wisely answered casually, "Under your pillow."

Joshua snorted again, and just as Xie Qi had already prepared countless speeches if the other party asked again, he suddenly sniffed and said to himself pitifully: "I want to call my mother... "

"My lord, please be aware of your drinking capacity in the future and try to control it as much as possible. Don't just drink without eating and—" Yan Qi's complaints stopped abruptly, and she turned her head and said to the maid indifferently: "You go down first."

"Yes."

Joshua was lying on his back on the bed, once he said those words, it was like a flood suddenly opened the valve, and the scalding wine surged uncontrollably like magma in his body, and finally rushed to his brain, burning his eyeballs.

"Give me water... my eyes are on fire..." He muttered funny drunken words, but part of him was lucid, and the thoughts that had been tormenting him lingered like curses. "You know what I'm thinking?" Joshya muttered, then sneered again, "Who cares...you're only going to be sad about my death, and it's not because of me, it's just because it means so many people You will die with me. Even if I die, you will immediately turn around and find the next king."

Yan Qi quietly watched Joshua cover his eyes, tears flowed from his fingers, as if melting the hard shell little by little, revealing the fragile inside.In Yan Qi's impression, Joshya either looked at people with prickly eyes or cried, and he almost forgot what the other person looked like when he smiled.

Although he only cried twice.

Yan Qi sighed, turned around and twisted a towel on Joshya's face.Joshua lay there motionless, almost making people think that he had fallen asleep. The next second, he suddenly sat up, reached the edge of the bed and vomited out all the wine he had drunk before.Yan Qi stepped aside in time, and then saw the other party wipe the corner of his mouth casually, staring at him directly, and ordered: "You wipe it for me."

His eyes were terribly lucid, Yan Qi avoided his gaze and said, "I'll let the maid in."

Joshua snorted: "Li Xianyin is disobedient, so you don't want to listen to me?"

His anger came up again.Xi Qi thought with a headache, and took the towel after a little hesitation.

Joshua raised the corners of his lips as if satisfied, and took off his soiled pajamas, revealing his somewhat pale and thin body.

He wasn't this thin before.Yan Qi knelt down to wipe the water stains on his neck while silently thinking, even though he has a fairy book, Joshua still looks a little malnourished after not eating for a long time, maybe this has something to do with his sudden bad temper .

"Go down a little bit." Joshua tilted his head back, and his tone was like an ice spring in a mountain stream, which caused a chill in Qin Qi's heart.

That's an awkward position, and it shouldn't be something Taifu should do.Xun Qi's movements paused, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, but he finally decided to endure and obey the other party's orders.But Joshua began to push forward, and kept mocking him: "I said, since you want to please me so much and picked a bunch of handsome guards for me, why don't you come in person? At least you have more experience than them."

Hearing the words, Yan Qi stood up suddenly, Joshya was already fully awake, and felt relieved when he saw those golden pupils glaring at him.He glanced at the still dirty trousers and said, "You haven't wiped them clean yet."

"My lord is the lord of Qiao Nation. As long as you order what you want, everyone will try their best to do it. But at the same time, the burden on your shoulders is not comparable to others. If you don't want what happened at today's court meeting to happen again, Just think about how to deal with it, and losing my temper doesn't help me in any way."

What Xiqi was referring to was Li Xianyin's criticism of Joshya at this morning's regular meeting.After the new currency was issued, the people of Qiaoguo rushed to wash all the old banknotes within the validity period, especially the wealthy businessmen, and some people, as ministers of the country, could not come forward in person, so they sent people to exchange money and treasures.Joshua had already sent someone to watch him early in the morning, and if there was any movement, he would arrest those people on the grounds of using counterfeit money.Li Xianyin and the others knew that the coins were real, and the whole thing was a trap set by Joshya, but the other party was King Gong, and he made it clear that he already knew what he was doing, so he naturally didn't dare to come forward, and only A large amount of money can be confiscated just like this.

But soon there were trade disputes in the country, and most of them were frictions between foreign traders and locals. Among them, Lixianyin must be fanning the flames.

"It's just a small trade dispute. He actually used it to make a big fuss, saying that my decision caused the riots, thinking that I didn't know that he was playing tricks."

"If you scare the snake like this, I'm afraid he will act early."

"I have appointed Li Xianyin as the Taifu, and he must not go out at all times. If he still dares to resist, he will be killed."

His tone was as relaxed as if he was deciding what to eat tomorrow morning, Yan Qi's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked, "Then what does the lord plan to do with the three prefectures of Yi, You, and Hu who have made good friends with Sir Li?"

Joshua glanced at him, and said with a half-smile: "If those people were so loyal to Mingzheng, they wouldn't automatically hand over the military power so quickly to protect themselves." He straightened his posture, looked at Yan Qi, and asked: "Taisuke Nao, do you think I'm doing well?"

His face was still stained with tears, his lips were bright red, but his sharp eyes seemed to be covered with sharp thorns, trying to isolate everything.

"Very efficient." Yan Qi lowered his head and said calmly.

Joshua just stared at him, and said after a while: "Your clothes are dirty too, take them off."

Yan Qi frowned, his clothes were obviously clean, he refused: "This is rude."

"You are a unicorn, but not a human being. Do people ask cats and dogs to show etiquette?" Joshua sneered slightly, and seeing him straighten his face, he shrugged and said, "It's just a joke, don't be angry, the two of us But we live and die together.”

Xiong Qi clearly understands that what happened at the court meeting was just the fuse, what really caused Joshya's conflict and pain, they both knew each other well but tacitly never mentioned it, because it would probably lead to worse consequences.

Joshua put on his nightgown and got under the quilt, turned his back to him and said, "I'm going to bed, and I'll ask someone to come in and clean it when I go out, it stinks to death."

"Yeah." Yan Qi left after saluting, and then a few maids came in to clean the floor and cover the lamp beads. The huge king's bedroom suddenly became silent and deserted, only the moonlight and The garden is dotted with bright white flowers.

Joshua shrank his head under the blanket and closed his eyes.

In addition to Joshya, Jason was also drunk and unconscious.The next day, when the two yawned and said good morning to each other, they didn't even open their eyes. Jason sat on the dining table and grabbed a lemon pie, praising: "It's delicious, it tastes exactly like my mother's. , I will make a copy for me and take it home later, thank you." He said to the maid.

"I'm glad you're having a good time here." Joshua only drank a cup of black tea and didn't eat any more. Jason shrugged and said, "I'm having a good time, even though I have to deal with a lot of things to curry favor every day. Those guys from Yitong are a bit annoying." He noticed that the other party seemed to be a little absent-minded, and asked with concern: "Are you thinking about him?"

Joshua came back to his senses and asked, "Who?"

"Your Italian boyfriend, Alexander."

Joshua turned his eyes away and didn't answer.At this time, a person hurried in and knelt down and said, "My lord, those people who were locked in the prison all died last night."

"what reason?"

"Someone put poison in their food."

Joshua nodded, "Understood, let's get down." As soon as the man stepped back, Joshua was so angry that he swept everything on the table down.Startled by the sudden movement, Jason stammered with lingering fear: "Since you are busy, I think I'd better leave first."

"Jason." Joshua stopped him and reminded him, "You stay at home recently and don't go out."

Seeing his expression, Jason had a premonition of what was going to happen, and made an OK gesture and said, "Don't worry."

When he is free, Joshya spends half a day reading and studying every day. After Li Xianyin took office, the other party became his teacher.Today is their first class.

Li Xianyin looks like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, not as tall as Josh Ya when he was standing, but no one will underestimate him because of this.

"You don't need to salute, please sit down." Joshya sat on the main seat and watched Li Xianyin walk towards the bookcase. He didn't ask what he wanted to learn like the former Taifu, but directly decided: "I used to specialize in agriculture and water conservancy, why not?" Learn this first today."

Joshya asked: "I heard that you once entered the officialdom with No.1 grades?"

Li Xianyin replied: "Yes, the examiner at that time was Lord Mingzheng. Although my ambition was to be a general and my score in martial arts was among the top three, Master Ming believed that military generals are important, but Qiaoguo needs me to continue supporting like this." the one who goes down."

"I don't understand." Joshua said indifferently: "You keep saying that you are for the clever country, but behind your back you want to get rid of the only king who can make the country strong. Don't you think it's contradictory?"

Li Xianyin smiled: "At the beginning, when Taifu brought the master back, everyone felt hopeful, but soon Master Ming realized that you are not this kind of material, and you know nothing about governing the country."

Joshua said sincerely: "If I remember correctly, the qualifications of the king are granted by the heavens through the Qilin."

Li Xianyin turned her head to look at him: "Kirin is not necessarily right, and gods can make mistakes, otherwise we would not be in a country that is in dire straits. The fastest way now is to kill you and find the next king as soon as possible. If it is not suitable, kill it again until a truly capable king appears."

too crazy.Joshua was dumbfounded at his thoughts, "Do you want to be the second Yuexi?"

"The lord misunderstood, and the subject has no intention of presiding over the second Fangguo." When Li Xianyin laughed, it seemed naive: "Or it can be said that this is a test for the lord."
