Throne Steps

Half a year passed, and winter came again.

The civil strife in the vagrant tribe finally came to an end, and the little prince who "colluded with Saenz" unified the tribe and reached an agreement with Saenz.The vagrant tribes no longer invade the Northland across borders, but they can enter and exit normally and trade freely.At the same time, if the vagrant tribe has difficulty in surviving in winter, they can apply to the Northland for rescue, or they can let the tribe directly enter the Northland, and the Northland will do its best to resettle these people.

Although this is another refugee problem, firstly, the total number of migrants is not particularly large, and secondly, because of their natural habits, they will not give up the wasteland so easily.If they move in bit by bit, the assimilation of the homeless tribe is just around the corner.

So far, internal and external troubles have been cleared away, and the riots in the Northland have basically subsided.

Saenz succeeded in pacifying the second time, and the troops returned to the court. The people in the Northland supported them along the way, and the send-off team stretched for several kilometers.This pure white color has provided disaster relief in the Northland, fought in wars, and suffered the most serious wounds in the rumors.People in the Northland couldn't help but be deeply impressed by him, and their gratitude was stronger than water.

The send-off team not only followed the city gate of the capital of the royal court, waiting for him to come out to meet the king, but also followed Saenz to the capital of the temple.If Saenz hadn't dismounted in front of them in the end, thanking them and persuading them back, they might have stayed until the New Year's Eve.

After they left, Saenz entered the capital of the temple and went to Saenlich's main house.And the black swan who was mixed in with the following team was able to escape and went to the station in the outskirts of the temple capital.

Fudexi and Akye are waiting here.

"You're back. You've been abroad for almost a year. Do you want to become a wild horse on the prairie?" Fudexi said badly as soon as he opened his mouth, "The black swan is waiting for you to recover from your injuries. Afterwards, it’s fine for you, you ran away with a flower, did you travel when you said you would leave?”

"Didn't I send letters back to tell you all the important things?" Li Chen unbuttoned his cloak and replied, "Aren't those places, those people, and those things on the left and right, what else can there be?" I need me, you just deal with it, isn't it over?"

"Really?" Fudexi raised his eyebrows, "Then let me tell you something now, you can judge whether you need to look at it or not, and whether you need to deal with it."

Li Chen hung up his cloak: "Tell me, what else can scare me now?"

Fudexi said: "Lai Lier's 'Song of the Siren' has not been quit."

"On this matter, it's not very..." Li Chen paused, "Wait, what are you talking about!"

"Reliable information, Lailier is still addicted to the 'Song of the Siren' extract." Fudexi replied calmly, "I tried to investigate once, but you know, the secret of pure white color is not so easy to pry .”

Li Chen frowned and said, "What did you investigate?"

"The painkiller made by the traitor before was not recovered, and someone found a way to refine the 'Song of the Siren' after research." When Fudexi said this, his tone finally became a little dignified, "The purity may not be as good as Ours, but the toxic and addictive effects cannot be underestimated."

"Have you found the person who made the drug?"

"No. The production of this medicine should be very small, and our people only bought a few pills on the black market. It is said that they have changed hands many times." Fudexi frowned, "There are too few clues, our intelligence department Can't handle it."

"I see, I will find a way for the next thing." Li Chen replied, "The output is so low, it seems that these people have not found a way to cultivate the 'Song of the Siren'. Beginning in early summer, increase the number of saman Erli's manpower, try to prevent people from picking in large quantities. Especially in autumn, flower seeds cannot be collected by interested people."

"Understood." Fordhy replied, "Don't worry about Lailier?"

"...Is the information you have now enough to adjust Lailier's antidote?"

"I can only try." Fudexi said, "But this matter is fighting fire with fire. If there are not enough materials to carry out experiments, I am afraid that safety cannot be guaranteed."

"Try your best, be solid at every step, and stop if you don't have any materials. I don't necessarily want to see the result, but it's always good to try." Li Chen said, "We can't take care of this matter, and it is bound to be handled by others. .Who else knows about Lyle?"

"The two silver and vermilion girls probably know, after all, they often meet." Fudexi replied, "But they didn't act."

"It's normal, the color of silver and vermilion can't intervene in this matter." Li Chen nodded and said, "This has to be solved by the color of pure white."

"You mean just throw it to him?" Fudexi raised his eyebrows and said, "That's fine, give him a little help, so as not to catch you all day, there is always no one in the black swan."

Li Chen shrugged: "I'm afraid there will be no one in the black swan for a while."

"What do you mean?" Fudexi said, "He still doesn't let you go? You are not even a mascot in his team. He keeps dragging you, and the black swan is gone?"

Li Chen said helplessly, "Just wait and see."

Li Chen only stayed in Black Swan's residence for two days when Saenz's guards arrived.

"My lord, Your Highness has already returned to the private residence." The guard said, "You can go there. If you need anything, you can tell me."

Fudexi said sarcastically: "Why, you carry it with you everywhere, for fear that others will not see it. Do you still think that the black swan has not suffered enough injuries?"

Li Chen was standing here, and the guards who came in plainclothes pretended not to hear him.

"Okay, what else do you say to him, he is not the one who can make decisions." Li Chen patted his shoulder with the back of his hand, "Let's go, keep in touch."

Fu Dexi could only say: "You'd better pay attention to Southwest when you have time."

"I know." Li Chen smiled, "There are many things, so you don't have to worry too much."

Li Chen was sent all the way to the door of Saenz's study, and then he had to knock on the door himself to enter.

dong dong!

"Come in."

Li Chen pressed the doorknob, and just pushed the door open a little, when suddenly a hand stretched out from behind the door and dragged him in violently.The unique darkness of winter enveloped the study room, Li Chen's back was against the wall, and the moment the door lock closed with a click, his slightly cool lips pressed down.

Li Chen, who has been defeated repeatedly, has given up resistance.He stood quietly, opened his mouth obediently, and let the tip of the other party's tongue invade his own mouth, sweeping every place wantonly until the saliva overflowed the corner of his lips.

Saenz didn't seem to care about Li Chen and the dead fish. When his lips moved away, he opened his eyes and stared at Li Chen closely, as if he wanted to swallow him.

"You are not surprised at all, it seems that you are mentally prepared for this?" A pure white hand caressed the corner of Li Chen's lips, "I will pull you back in two days, your swans are probably cursing me .”

Li Chen looked at him indifferently: "You can ask your guard, he heard the tip of the iceberg."

"Then I'd better not ask." Saenz said with a smile, "Anyway, no matter what he says, it won't have any effect."

Li Chen's scalp was numb from his touch: "I suspect you have PTSD, you'd better call a doctor to see if 'Song of the Siren' has relapsed."

"PTSD?" Saenz's voice was low, as if he was saying the most touching words of love, "What is that?"

"Post-traumatic stress disorder, specifically post-war psychological syndrome." Li Chen looked at him, "Symptoms-separation anxiety, clinging, unwillingness to be separated from others."

This is actually a child's avoidance symptom, and the object of reluctance to separate is the parents.Li Chen said this on purpose, just to make himself feel better about what Saenz didn't understand.

Although Saenz still didn't quite understand what he was talking about, how could he not know that Li Chen was taking advantage of his words?It's just that he saw it and saw it, and didn't refute it.

"Then PTSD." Saenz smiled, "If I have this disease and make you feel better, then so be it."

Li Chen: "..."

Therefore, even if it is thick-skinned, the pure white color will not lose.

Saenz doesn't actually have PTSD, but he does hold his breath because Patriarch Vagchenau talked to him about the future.

"Decided to support the little prince?"

"It's not support." Saenz wiped his face wearily, "It's just not to hit the prince or support the princess."

"That's support." Li Chen said while pouring tea for him, "Although it's a bit sudden, it's good, so that His Highness won't be stunned."

Saenz could hear the meaning in his words, and asked, "What's wrong with Lailier?"

Li Chen then told about Lailier not quitting.

Saenz frowned and said, "Is the source reliable? Fire Rose and Ruby haven't mentioned it to me."

"It should be reliable. She does it very covertly, and even our people can't find her source. The fire rose and ruby ​​may have doubts, but they are not sure." Li Chen replied, "I will report this to the You, even if we fight, it's not convenient for us to intervene..."

"If you're talking about the source of this matter, it's your black swans. How dare you say it's inconvenient to intervene?" Saenz took a sip of tea, glanced at him and asked, "Are there any drugs to assist withdrawal?"

"The thing in her hand is not from us. The black swan ran all over the black market and only got a few." Li Chen shook his head, "I asked them to start research, but the number of medicines and experimental subjects... In short, it takes It may not be so easy to come up with a safe antidote."

"Go ahead, don't rush in." Saenz said, "I will deal with the rest, don't spread the word."

"Don't worry." Li Chen nodded, and said again, "The topic has changed, I actually just wanted to ask: Does the Patriarch tell you about his future plans, does it mean that he has... settled you?"

Saenz said casually, "What decides me?"

Li Chen looked at him: "Is it because of my level that I can't know about this?"

"There's nothing I can't know." Saenz smiled. "He gave me one thing, but he just blocked my way. The two cancel each other out. What's there to say?"

"So, His Majesty decided not to expand his ambitions a little bit?" Li Chen replied, "However, since he chose the little prince, he is also a typical push puppet. This road is indeed less resistant, and it is left to the pure The color of white has more time to develop."

The powerful aristocrats and the fledgling little emperor perfectly performed the drama of "taking the emperor to order the princes".Even if Pure White didn't really set foot on the throne, everyone in the world would know his intentions.

"In short, he wants to support the royal family now, and wants me to suppress the anti-royal trend in the north." Saenz narrowed his eyes, with a faint gloomy tone, "wasting time..."

"It's easy to incite the people, but it doesn't take so long to deal with the entanglement among the nobles. If we don't let us work hard, we can work slowly and meticulously." Li Chen smiled, "What's more, the power of the patriarch is still hard to shake. Waiting for you... It will definitely be another world. What will happen then, is it not based on your will?"

Saenz liked that he said "we" intentionally or unintentionally, and the dark clouds dissipated a little: "Speaking of which, shouldn't you congratulate me?"

"It's too shabby to congratulate you like this, but I still have to say it." Li Chen sat upright facing Saenz, his brows and eyes curved, "Congratulations, at least at the peak of pure white color, no, the eternal color, immediately It will get what you want.”

Li Chen was the first person to expressly congratulate Saenz on this matter, and he was able to rank first, of course, Saenz did it on purpose.

Saenz leaned towards him, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin and said, "Since you feel shabby, why don't I come and get the gift I want?"

Li Chen raised his chin and hid for a while: "PTSD is a disease, and it should be treated as soon as possible."
