[Comprehensive] The road to becoming a king

"Well, this is the state of Caizhou. King Cai has ruled the world for 35 years, and the country has generally settled down."

Caizhou country can be said to be one of their destinations. According to Le Jun, the half-beast beside him, the door that will be opened this time is the Lingkun gate where Caizhou country is located.

After seeing Qiaozhou Kingdom, which was in chaos and suffering due to the king's loss of justice, then to the stable and peaceful Zuanan Kingdom, which has been in power for 600 years, and finally Caizhou Kingdom, which has only been in power for 35 years, the arc of the corner of Si Chen's mouth has always been Did not fall.

One... as long as there is a king on the throne... the country will not be destroyed.. the world...

hehehe....

"Aka... Akashi-kun..."

"Huh?" Hearing the voice beside him, Si Chen turned his head slightly.

"Uh... Akashi-kun, did you think of something? He seems quite happy."

"What are you thinking..." The corners of Si Chen's mouth widened, "I was thinking, I should be able to go back soon, so my family won't worry."

"Well, it must be, and Yangzi, ah, King Jing of Qingdong Kingdom has also gone to Pengshan. I think even if Yanqi has no time, if she asks King Jing, she will definitely agree."

Ah, please... "Is King Jing the one who came from Japan, which is what you call Penglai Island?"

"Yes, but Yoko is a fetal fruit. In fact, if Akashi-kun said that your appearance has not changed at all, I would think you are a fetal fruit."

"Ah.."

"After all, being able to learn the language here so quickly is not something ordinary people can do, and..."

"What..." Si Chen was noncommittal about Le Jun's statement.

"Well, if, Akashi-kun, you are a fetal fruit, I think... this time you will be able to find the king by ascending the mountain..." The beard trembled, looking from Le Jun's furry face. Not showing any expression from him.

"Heh... such a country... Even if you accept it, what's the point..."

"Hmm... sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean, but only when the king ascends the throne, the country will not be attacked by monsters. The people of Qiaozhou have suffered for too long."

"Hehe, it's okay, it's just a different perspective." What is the significance of such a king? The people don't care whether the king is good or bad, they only care about...whether there is a king...hehehe...

"Huh? Angle?" The beard trembled, "Sorry, I still don't understand, but as long as a country has a king, the people will not suffer so much."

"Whether the king is tyrannical? Is it kind?"

"Well... I don't think Qilin will choose a tyrannical person to be the king... and the king must also abide by the heavenly principles, otherwise he will lose his way..."

"Oh..." What a.. stupid law.. stupid.. world....

"Akashi-kun, here we are. Well, just wait for a while, and the door will open." Le Jun stopped suddenly, and there were already crowds gathered around.

"Well, Akashi-kun, I'm sorry, but I don't have enough money to hire Mrs. Gang...so..." Le Jun scratched his head in embarrassment.

"No, you don't need to apologize to me. Without you on this journey, I don't think I would have been able to get here so smoothly. After entering, life and death are up to fate. Whether life or death depends on one's fate." Before that, Le Jun had already told Si Chen that if he wanted to go to Pengshan Mountain to see the unicorn, he had to pass through the Yellow Sea, and the Yellow Sea is the place where monsters and monsters inhabit. The danger is self-evident, but...Si Chen sneered One sound, just a mere beast wants to take my life...? !

"Hello."

Si Chen folded his arms, turning a deaf ear to the words coming from behind him, but Le Jun was extremely surprised by the sudden voice.

"You are... Dazai-sama..."

"Just call me Yan Xuan," the voice behind him was as gentle as jade, but with a noble sense of alienation.

"Ah, Master Yan Xuan." Le Jun changed his words, but still put on the honorifics, and Yan Xuan did not correct him.

"I'm sorry to bother you. I just heard that you didn't seem to have hired a strong man. In this Yellow Sea, there are crises everywhere, and one more person will take care of you. Besides, we also have manpower and reserves, so I think, if you don’t dislike it, why not go on the road with us.”

"Uh...this..." Le Jun hesitated a lot, turned his head and looked at Si Chen who was standing with his arms crossed, not to mention that Si Chen is an existence that cannot be ignored, the most important thing is Yes, when Dazai Yanxuan said this, although he was speaking to Le Jun, his eyes were fixed on Si Chen, or his eyes never left from the beginning.

After a while of silence, Yan Xuan couldn't help being a little embarrassed. He smiled stiffly, then turned his gaze back to the half-beast beside him.

"I don't know how to call you two."

"Um...my name is Le Jun...this is..." Apparently, Le Jun was very embarrassed about whether he should be introduced without Si Chen's permission.

"Ah, I didn't expect that you are Le Jun." Yan Xuan obviously understood this, and he exclaimed exaggeratedly, and even used the honorific title, "Half-beasts who are on good terms with both King Jing and King Yan must be That's you."

If such words were uttered by other people, they would think that this person was being sarcastic or flattering, but after being uttered by Yan Xuan, they found that there was no emotion in his tone, or he just pointed out such a fact in a bland manner.

"Eh...you can just call me Le Jun." Le Jun felt a little at a loss for such treatment.

"Okay, Mr. Le Jun, you and...this one are also here to be promoted. I don't know...what to call this one." Yan Xuan didn't make the slightest gesture, and after saying a few words casually, he changed the topic to Si Chen again.

But at this moment, Si Chen turned his eyes to Yan Xuan in embarrassment. When he met those cold and emotionless red golden eyes, the smile on Yan Xuan's face froze at the corner of his mouth, and cold sweat slid down from the corner of his forehead. During this time, he actually had the idea of ​​'can't keep looking at each other, or you will die'.He took a step back unconsciously, and it was only then that Si Chen looked away.

"This is just a small lesson, talk to me..don't lower your eyes..next time..it won't let you have such a good time..."

"I'm sorry... I'm being rude..." When the heavy pressure on his body disappeared, Yan Xuan once again felt a little bit of fear, he took two steps back again, slightly lowered his head, the previous gentle and alienated smile was gone, It was replaced by respect and faint excitement.

※※※※

"Akashi-kun, please use."

Leaning against the tree, Si Chen took the dry rations and a pot of scalded hot water from Yan Xuan with a calm face.

"I'm sorry, the conditions here are limited, so I can only make do with these things." Yan Xuan said with apology in his eyes.

Si Chen didn't speak, and turned a deaf ear.

"Hey you..."

A voice full of anger sounded, Si Chen raised his eyes slightly, looked at Yan Xuan holding the angry young man, and smiled apologetically at him, Si Chen took a sip of water indifferently. In the past few days, Si Chen has been seen frequently, and Si Chen just pretends that this person does not exist. The most important thing is... this is just a chess piece pushed out...

"Mr. Akashi, I'm sorry. Taipan didn't mean anything malicious. It's just that the situation in Qiaozhou is getting worse every year..." After the youth was settled down, Yan Xuan walked to Si Chen's side again, "Whether it's an official Or the people... are a little... almost unable to hold on..." When Yan Xuan said this, there was a trace of unreasonable compassion.

"That's right, when the former king was alive, the chaos has never been resolved, and now there has been no king for more than 20 years... Qiaozhou Kingdom is really gone now..." Le Jun on the side didn't think too much, just After hearing about the situation in Qiaozhou, he followed his words and continued worryingly.

Listening to such a conversation, the corners of Si Chen's mouth slightly closed his eyes, and the voices around him continued, but Yan Xuan's voice was deliberately lowered, so low that Si Chen could just hear it.

"Qiaozhou Kingdom can't wait any longer, and the people of Qiaozhou Kingdom can't wait any longer..." Yan Xuan said, "But I believe that the king will be elected this time." And when Yan Xuan said here At that time, Si Chen clearly felt a hot gaze.

"Huh...?" Le Jun's voice was very low. If it weren't for Si Chen's extraordinary hearing, he might not be able to hear, "Why is Lord Yan Xuan so sure?"

"Didn't Mr. Le Jun notice anything unusual these days?"

"In the past few days... all of us... haven't encountered any monsters..."

"Mr. Yan Xuan, what do you mean...we..."

"Take the Pengyi..."

If there is a royal spirit in a team, the monsters will involuntarily avoid them, and they will rarely encounter monsters along the way, and this is called... riding on the Peng Yi.

"what do you mean..."

Yan Xuan didn't speak, but Si Chen clearly felt his gaze getting hotter and hotter. Si Chen frowned, and with a flick of his right hand, he threw the scissors out without the slightest hesitation.

There was a rush of panic, followed by a furious roar: "Akashi! You bastard!"

The gust of wind swept over Si Chen's hair, and a sharp sword with a cold light came to a halt in front of Si Chen's eyes, and under the sharp sword, a silver light flashed past. It is a pair of scissors with red handles.

The hand holding the scissors turned slightly, and the sharp sword snapped. At this moment, Si Chen slowly opened his eyes.

"Dare to attack me, are you ready...to bear...the price..." Si Chen's voice lacked a trace of emotion, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing.

"!" This time it was the little Situ from Qiaozhou Kingdom—Taipan, who made the shot this time. At this time, those eyes full of anger were suddenly constricted, full of fear, and when Si Chen suddenly burst out, Under the powerful momentum, he almost couldn't stand up.

Si Chen pursed his lips and took a step forward. Seeing that he was only one step away from Taipan, a figure suddenly stood in front of Taipan.

"Akashi-kun, I'm really sorry to offend you, but can you please let Taipan off because he is an official of the Qiaozhou Kingdom?!" The scissors that flew out earlier cut off Yan Xuan's bun , making his long hair loose, coupled with the eager look on his face, he looked quite embarrassed.

"Huh?! Heh..." Si Chen smiled sarcastically, "Whether he is an official of Qiaozhou Kingdom or not has nothing to do with me."

"Because you will be the new monarch of Qiaozhou Kingdom!"

"Hehehe..." Si Chen chuckled at Yan Xuan's firm statement, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"No, Lord Yanxuan, Mr. Akashi will not be the monarch of Qiaozhou Kingdom, because he is not from Qiaozhou Kingdom." Le Jun beside him said suddenly, his eyes full of worry and apology.

"! Impossible!" Yan Xuan cried out, his face full of shock.
