Ghostland

Chapter 23

Several costumers and make-up artists were waiting at the gate of the palace. They arranged the appearance of the officers one by one according to the order in which they were lined up. When it was Asmodeus' turn, the costumers froze all of a sudden and took a long time to reach out and pat him. Unnecessary Hui: "You are a very thoughtful person."

Asmodeus said, "If you have prepared a military uniform, I can change it too."

The costumer smiled: "Don't back down. At this time, it's too late to prepare for anything except mental preparation."

Asmodeus: "..."

The make-up artist put on a pale makeup for him: "I hope the empress will feel pity when she sees your face."

Asmodeus: "..."

The officer ranked number one had already entered, but within a minute, the Queen's secretary ran out quickly, and shouted anxiously at the long line, "Isn't Colonel Mundus here?"

The officers looked at each other, looking for the colonel on each other's epaulettes.

Asmodeus came out from the end: "I am."

The secretary stared at the down jacket on his body with a strange expression, but said nothing: "The queen is asking about you, follow me in quickly." He turned around without saying anything, and walked in quickly.

Under the gaze of a group of people, Asmodeus followed the secretary who cleared the way, and rushed to stand in front of the queen steadily.

The queen's graceful posture is quite like that of an old lady.Sitting on the throne in a wealthy body, he looked at his attire with cool eyes: "It seems that Colonel Mendez is still obsessed with what happened back then, and he is not even willing to return to his post."

The secretary whispered, "He completed the transfer procedures yesterday."

The queen raised her eyebrows and asked Asmodeus: "Then you are dressed just to protest to me?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and the officers next to them all showed expressions of "you are so rebellious", but Asmodeus remained calm: "I simply can't find where the uniform is..."

The empress obviously thought he was making excuses: "Didn't Sarah prepare for you? You married the most virtuous woman in the entire empire!"

The secretary reminded again in a low voice: "Sarah was sent by you to follow the crown prince to inspect the border."

The queen's arrogance finally suppressed, and she gave up continuing to entangle with his attire: "Tell me about your views on the 'Meteor Project', the upcoming Governor of Mongolia. Maybe your answer can make me feel relieved to hand over the plan to you. "

Asmodeus, who knew nothing about the plan and had no expectations, thought for a while and said, "I think it's very good, and I look forward to its smooth implementation."

Wan Essential Oil's rhetoric unexpectedly won the Queen's favor.

The queen smiled happily: "When you were young, I saw that you had a bright future."

The secretary whispered in her ear: "He didn't say anything."

The queen said: "I am the queen, of course I have the final say on everything, as long as he agrees."

Asmodeus: "..." Except for Ying Longshan, no one else could have come up with this kind of character design.

After him, the other officers accepted the Queen's inquiries one by one. The Queen would mention the "Meteor Project" every time. With Asmodeus' proof, their answers were all flattering and praising.

The queen proudly said to Asmodeus who was standing aside, "You are not the only one."

"I was the first to speak up," said Asmodeus.

"That's right, you should get some special bonus points." The queen asked the secretary to make a note of this.

Asmodeus had a hunch that the "Meteor Project" should be a key clue. He deliberately inquired more specifically, but the secretary had a mediocre impression of him, and he ignored all questions. Face said disdainfully: "Without Sarah, you look like a clown. Why should I answer a clown's question?"

Asmodeus: "..."

"I really don't know why she fell in love with you in the first place!" The secretary's tone was full of jealousy, "She is a famous beauty in our empire, and you are nothing but your face."

Asmodeus: "..." Beauty, don't you also look at your face?

The Sarah in my memory is indeed beautiful, with a charm that can make people feel peaceful.The strange thing is that every time he thought of her in the past, he would always feel unwilling and remorseful, but this time his state of mind was unexpectedly peaceful.

He should be the one he knows best, but he is becoming more and more unfamiliar.

After the audience, the empress held a luncheon, and Asmodeus finally took off his long johns and down jacket, and changed into a formal dress.Although the styles of dresses are very popular, the people who wear them are different and have completely different temperaments.

The officers who also changed their uniforms looked at the outstanding Asmodeus, their eyes showed envy and hatred, and some officers directly said sourly: "You used this face to deceive Sarah, right? "

Asmodeus: "..." Sarah has also been set as a heartthrob?

After the luncheon began, he ran into another acquaintance.

Mr. Xiao Ying attended the banquet with the title of the richest man in the empire, and was favored by the empress, so he sat on the right side, next to Asmodeus.Mr. Xiao Ying's attitude was similar to that of meeting him for the first time in reality. He looked at him unobtrusively, evaluated him, and then spoke politely.

Ever since the secretary mentioned the crown prince, Asmodeus thought it was Mr. Xiao Ying, but he did not expect that he became a "left-behind child" in the illusion. His mother was prosperous, but he was still left in the mall to work hard.

Halfway through the banquet, the secretary hurried out after hearing the guard's report. After a while, he hurried back and whispered a few words in the Queen's ear. The Queen was furious and slapped the table: " The rebels are hateful! How dare they kidnap the Crown Prince!"

Asmodeus thought that the next step would be for the officers to ask for orders to go to battle. Who knew, the heads of the people who were talking excitedly just now were lowering one by one. If it weren't for the table in front of them, they could almost have burrowed into the ground.

Asmodeus, the only one with his head held high, looked particularly abrupt.

The queen said with relief: "Since Colonel Meng asked for his order..."

Asmodeus: "..." Standing still, shouldn't it be called initiative?

The queen obviously doesn't care what others think, but only cares about what she thinks: "Then appoint you as the commander in chief to rescue the crown prince and command the first army. Be sure to bring the crown prince back safely within three days." She paused, " Sarah is with the Crown Prince and I hope she is safe as well."

Mr. Xiao Ying stood up suddenly, walked to the empress as if no one was there, and whispered a few words. The empress hesitated for a while, and then announced: "In addition, Ying Tianyun was appointed as an accompanying consultant, and all matters of rescue of the crown prince will be handled in a low voice. Discuss the decision with him."

Asmodeus didn't know that there was a job in ancient China called "supervising the army", but he still understood the meaning.He was eager to get in touch with more characters so as to dig deeper into the inner world of the Destroyer.

For example, why is Mr. Xiao Ying the richest man and not the crown prince?

For example, the Queen's childhood sweetheart and Mr. Xiao Ying both have the surname Ying, is there any connection?

Another example, after saving the crown prince, can the true face of the "Meteor Project" be revealed?

This plan has never been heard of in reality, and it doesn't look like an ordinary private setting, so he is very concerned about it.

After the appointment, the officers who had shrunk their heads just now sat up straight again, and many of them even put on the face of "you are really lucky to pick up shit" to Asmodeus.

Someone even started to speak sourly: "The empress must have appointed you for Sarah's sake."

When the secretary notified him that the First Legion was ready to go, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sarah has a good eye for choosing you."

Mr. Xiao Ying who was standing beside him echoed: "That's true."

In less than half a day, Asmodeus obviously felt that he had changed his opinion of himself and became closer, so he spoke casually: "The empress is not married, why is there a crown prince?"

Mr. Xiao Ying said puzzledly: "Bingxueyinxing is really a place with no information, it's hard for you to stay for so long." He explained, "The empress was tired of the frequent forced marriages by the parliament, so she adopted an orphan and became the queen. Prince. However, there are rumors that the crown prince is the queen's illegitimate son, so the parliament turned a blind eye."

Asmodeus said: "Who will his father be?" If the gossip is true, the crown prince's father must be Ying Longshan—unless he subconsciously wants to cuckold himself.

Mr. Xiao Ying glanced at him approvingly, and said meaningfully: "Father and son are connected, no matter who they are, after a long time, they will definitely find ways to meet each other."

Asmodeus savored this sentence carefully, and suddenly said, "Do we still have hidden missions this time?"

Mr. Xiao Ying almost wanted to applaud his comprehension: "Yes. Not only do we want to save the crown prince, but we also want to make things beautiful."

Asmodeus looked at Mr. Xiao Ying who was full of fighting spirit in the illusion, and couldn't help but sympathize with Mr. Xiao Ying outside the illusion.

Mr. Xiao Ying's identity should be set up by Ying Longshan alone, no matter how much wealth he gave his son in the illusion, how much favor of the queen, it can't change... the fact that Ying Longshan doesn't want this son.

Asmodeus said, "Is your father okay?" In fact, he wanted to ask more, do you have a father?

Mr. Xiao Ying's expression was a bit strange: "No wonder the empress values ​​you, you are indeed very sensitive." No matter how much, he refused to say a single word.

The First Legion marched forward in a mighty way to Fortune Star, where the rebels were.

The closer he was to Fortune Star, the more nervous Mr. Ying became, and he kept sending messages.Asmodeus has read every piece of news, and it is said that several pieces connected together form a nursery rhyme.The lyrics are: father deer is jogging, mother deer is doing morning exercises, baby deer is sleeping late, the sun is shining on the buttocks...

After the fourth article was sent, the rebels finally responded:

"Send over the crown prince's favorite royal chef."

"Send over the little black bear that the crown prince hugged when he was sleeping."

"Bring over the crown prince's favorite panda pajamas."

"..."

In exchange, the rebels were willing to return the two hostages.

Mr. Xiao Ying agreed without waiting for Asmodeus to say anything, and pointed out that one of the hostages was Sarah.Turning around, he hinted to Asmodeus that this was a thank you for his decentralization.
