Oracle of Terra

"Tsk..."

Telles took off his last vest with difficulty, looking at the glory in front of him, although it was cool, but still not beyond his expectation, he was a little distressed.

Could it be that after giving up cheating (future prediction), his guessing is really so weak?

"So what are you two doing?"

Nian on the side couldn't help but want to complain. Although she didn't mind the room and the yard becoming more lively, it seemed a little strange that the two of them started stripping and guessing in the middle of the day. Unfortunately, she missed participating in it. Opportunity.

"But Telles, didn't you say to give me special training? How did it become such a small game?"

"Exercise your luck and feast my eyes by the way, won't you?"

"Hmph, even though I'm not bad at all, you're going to lose everything next time."

"Maybe I can cheat a little bit or something."

"That would be boring. Boxing guessing is a technical job."

Of course, Telles wouldn’t even think about rejecting the boxing game with a man. If he cheated with a beautiful girl, he would lose all the excitement and joy.

The current anxious battle is also a kind of joy.

"Come then! Scissors-rock-paper!"

"I am coming!"

"That's why you guys are so active in boxing guessing..."

But Nian wants to participate in it, and by the way, do some interesting operations.

But at this moment...

"excuse me."

There was a sound outside the door, and Telles almost reflexively turned into a puff of smoke and then built his body again, then pulled the gauze and opened the door with the official uniform on his head.

But the one who came to visit the other courtyard was a woman beyond Telles' expectations.

"Ning Shilang, what's the use of this?"

"Mr. Telles...or Mr. Lin, the Taifu is here to invite you."

"What did the old man suddenly ask for? I don't have much free time here. Or is Ning Shilang not happy to see his lover after returning to Beijing?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Facing Telles' joke, Ning Ciqiu was completely businesslike, and then repeated it again.

"Master Lin, the Taifu is here to invite you."

"Okay, okay, I get it, don't stare at me like a ghost, I'll come right away, please wait for Shilang Ning for a while."

"No problem, the car is already waiting outside the courtyard."

After finishing speaking, Ning Ciqiu turned and left, and Telles could only shake his head.

"It seems that the victory or defeat can only be left in the future. As for the training plan and so on, let Cyril help you figure it out. Recently, he and the left general's subordinates got together to experiment with some new tactics."

"I always feel that you are perfunctory."

"I can't help it. I've been very busy preparing for the Qingjun's Guiyan Festival recently. I might as well talk about why I, the Duke of Usas's staff, is so busy with their Great Yan's Guiyan Festival. My Lord Duke has never been with her good sister. Hang around together, if you are interested, you can also play with them."

"I didn't come to the capital just for fun...Forget it, maybe it would be good to broadcast it."

After Telles left the other courtyard, he found that a certain secretary was blocking his only way.

"Good afternoon, Cinderella, are you planning to collect tolls?"

"No, it's just that Missy went out with other people and didn't take me with her, so I plan to follow you."

"What kind of wind is this blowing?"

Telles looked at her with some surprises, after all, Xinteliya, who usually wished to sneak in, took the initiative to act with him.

"It's nothing, I just have some new ideas recently, aren't you happy?"

"How come, I naturally welcome my lovely little Pegasus, but I'm going to discuss some things with that old man, and if you don't find it annoying, you can come along."

"Well...Anyway, when you guys are discussing things, I can wander off and think about something else."

"Sounds like you're quite used to it."

But Telles didn't care too much. As for why she wanted to follow her, it probably came from the influence of her good brother. I don't know the story about No. [-], which made Xinteliya have other ideas.

When he came to the gate of the Chen Mansion, Telles looked at the sports car parked in front of the door, and was a little surprised. He thought that the person who came to pick him up would be a particularly luxurious-looking stretched black limousine.

"Is this Ning Shilang's car?"

"Well, it was a gift from a friend of a car manufacturer. If Mr. Lin is interested in cars, I can recommend them."

"No, I like motorcycles more. It's cool to take people for a ride in a sports car, but the close contact on a motorcycle is even more addictive."

Having said that, Telles glanced at Xintleya behind him, who couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I'm not driving a motorcycle to take advantage of you, Telles."

"You really understand me."

Yes, what Tellez likes is to sit behind a woman on a motorcycle and do something that makes him happy, as for driving a motorcycle by himself....

His evaluation is that it is not as good as running by himself to accelerate the synchronization, and he may even surpass light.

"Both get in the car."

Seeing these two people coming and going, Ning Ciqiu could only sigh. She knew that someone was unrestrained, but when she thought of this, she also hoped that a certain Mr. Liang who had been promoted would also take the initiative, but from a friend According to the information he heard, he seems to be running around for the previous evil case recently.

Thinking of this, Ning Ciqiu also thought about going to Liang's house to treat him with those things in the future, but I heard that the girl from the detective agency brought by Mr. Li was also injured before, maybe Also consider visiting and bringing a gift along the way.

"But speaking of it, how are Ning Shilang and Master Liang doing?"

"Master Lin, I can only say that I have no comment on this topic."

"You're really stingy, I'm still waiting to drink Ning Shilang's wedding wine."

"......"

Although Ning Ciqiu really wanted to say "Then you may have to wait for a long time", but when she thought of saying this sentence, she would inexplicably admit defeat, and she was a little reluctant to continue talking.

"Then since Ning Shilang is not interested in inviting me, how about I invite Ning Shilang to my house for a wedding in two days?"

"In your house?"

"His Majesty Jinghuai promised me a courtyard, saying that it was used as the residence of my honorary minister, so I can't live in Chen's residence all the time."

"Really, Mr. Lin, do you know that there are many factions in the court?"

"I know, I know, there are some courtiers who believe in Boss Wei's faction, and some are attached to the Taifu's party for the sake of Dayan Sheji, that is, the Ministry of Rites headed by Ning Shilang, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households all belong to this faction. Yan did not have a major case of dereliction of duty and corruption because the Taifu Party firmly held the Ministry of Finance in its hands, while the Ministry of War was free. His Majesty Huai was dismissed and thrown into prison, and he will spend most of his life in prison. As for the master craftsmen of the Ministry of Industry, almost all of them were from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, so the Ministry of Industry is also within the radiating range of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, but the Heavenly Master's The government has never been involved in partisan disputes in the court bureau, and the technology research and development of the Ministry of Industry is also for the people's livelihood and society, and everyone will not get involved in it. After all, the Ministry of Industry is losing money. The so-called Minister of the Ministry of Industry is also an annoying position, responsible for asking for money of."

"What you said is really interesting, but what I have to say is that today's minister of the Ministry of Industry is really good at asking people for money, and he is so eloquent that even the Tai Tuo has to obey him."

"That's a person. As for the Ministry of Punishment, it is in charge of punishment. The person in charge of this department is a close friend of His Majesty Jing Huai, or a member of the royal family. He is probably the same as me, the apparent son-in-law, but he is the emperor. brother-in-law, and I’m just a niece and son-in-law.”

"I didn't expect Mr. Lin to study the court so deeply?"

"I listened to the chats of the students of the Tianshi Mansion. In addition to academic exchanges, they still talked about the anecdotes of the imperial court. Since I want to get involved in it, I should understand it."

"Master Lin may wish to guess why the Tai Tuo invited you here?"

Listening to Telles' eloquent talk, Ning Ciqiu was even more impressed with some of his cognitions.

"It's nothing more than to talk about cooperation. The cooperation between me and His Majesty Jinghuai is currently blocked. We need to see the statements of the Qingjun master and Tianshifu to decide the final direction. The Taifu probably likes me and Wei. The relationship with the boss, if you want to invite me, I think I can even foresee who will be on the table later."

"......"

Ning Ciqiu didn't speak, because she understood that, just as Telles said, the Taifu did have this intention.

After arriving at the top floor of the building in front of him, Telles walked in like this, but there was no meal full of tears, only a clean table and a few people.

"Mrs. Wenyue, Your Excellency the Grand Tutor, I am a little surprised that you are here."

Telles looked at the trio of Tallulah, Lin Yuxia, and Shi Huaiya, and shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty Taifu, is this planning to discuss the rebellion plan?"

"Hehe, Master Lin was just joking. I just invited everyone to come to Zhaixing Tower to sit down for a while and chat about the current situation of the Great Flame."

"alright."

Telles took her seat, and Xindreya stood behind her just like that. As for Xindreya, she felt strange looking at her secretary standing behind Telles.

And Ning Ciqiu also moved behind the Taifu.

And on the table now, there is a Duke of Sochi from Ursas, the Duke's business advisor and her friend, the wife of the governor of Longmen, and him, the Duke of Sochi's staff member who is also the honorary secretary of the Ministry of War.

"This table is really messy."

Tapping the table with his fingers casually, Telles narrowed his eyes and looked at Mrs. Wenyue and the old man who seemed to be in a mess. If these two people joined forces at the beginning, then Boss Wei's road to rebellion may be said to be Steady as an old dog.

However, he believed that the current imperial tutor would not make such an easy decision.

"So, how is the current situation, what should we start talking about? Your Excellency the Tai Tuo."

Taking the stand of the Great Yan official, Telles looked at the current imperial tutor in front of him, wanting to see what he had to say.

"Naturally, we just chatted casually. I don't know how Master Lin thinks of our current Majesty in Dayan."

"He's a good person, he's a man of temperament, and he has means, but there are some places where he seems a bit stretched. To be an emperor, he is a good emperor, but he can't be said to be a generation of Mingjun. At most, he is a person who has ideas but can't use them. "

"Yanwu often said that his brother has a bad temper and likes to care about some small things, but in some things, it makes people feel unforgettable."

"Then I should say that he is indeed a brother. Boss Wei really understands his brother."

Telles grinned, that brother Jing Huai could be said to have broken with his elder brother because of his sister's affairs, because of the past encounters, the danger that Dayan experienced, he hated the person he originally admired, As he said, how much he admired once, and how much he hates now.

"I'm curious, has Boss Wei ever regretted his hatred for his brother?"

"Yes, don't look at Yanwu's usual appearance, but he is indeed a man of temperament, and he was once a hot-blooded man, but now, that hot blood is always extinguished by him on that day. "

"Edward Atrias."

The Taifu whispered the name, and Talula on the side narrowed her eyes. To be honest, her knowledge of her father was only in the hazy memories of her childhood, and most of those memories came from her mother. tell.

Her own existence gave her mother a support, but after being taken away by the black snake, her mother also fell into a doomed situation. Hui Jie and her father have been strangers since then. Uncle, there must be some, if he can resolve the black snake's plan, maybe the mother can still live to this day, watching her thrive.

But if there is no black snake's conspiracy, maybe she will not become the Duke of the Infected in Sochi.

In this matter, Tallulah didn't want to talk too much about right and wrong, the black snake was always her enemy, her own uncle, no matter how much she complained, she was also her own uncle.

"Your father was a fine man, Miss Tallulah."

"I often heard from my mother that the Taifu has seen his mother?"

"After the persecution of Drake began in Victoria, he fled from Victoria and passed through several countries, leaving his trace and reputation. He had many friends and had many partings. In the end of my information network, he Arrived at the city that is not called Longmen today, and met your uncle, Mrs. Wenyue's husband, the former Prince of Yan, Chujun Yanwu, which opened the beginning of the tragedy. I have never met him , but the rumors, but also heard a lot, your father is a legend, just like you are now."

"Is it."

Thinking of this, Tallulah seemed to remember something, and looked at Telles.

But the latter shook his head.

Perhaps Tallulah wanted to witness his father's deeds through parallel world observation, but for Telles, that was not something that could be easily accomplished.

After all, he is not quite the same as Cyril Linguang. He is not a family member, but a Drake. I am afraid that even the black dragon, the ancestor, cannot trace his soul back.

Not to mention, witness his magnificent journey.

"Teacher, how much do you dislike His Majesty Jinghuai?"

"Hehe, I watched him grow up. It is impossible to say that I dislike him. As a tutor, I will not be partial to someone, but I will not forget something. The murder case more than 20 years ago , many people have been implicated, does Mr. Lin remember Wu Fu?"

"Remember, he was a person who impressed me deeply. More than 60 people in Zhongshuitang lost their lives and were burned alive by me."

Hearing this, Shi Huaiya on the side was also in a delicate mood. It was because of this incident that she officially met Telles, and recalling those charred corpses made her feel a little uncomfortable.

"Wu Fu, what is the relationship with the murder case more than ten years ago?"

"More than ten years ago, the former emperor passed away, and now His Majesty Jinghuai succeeded to the throne. The journey was not smooth. The Wu family, one of the most powerful clans in the court, teamed up with several other powerful courtiers to force His Majesty Jinghuai to give up his succession. position, and support the prince who they think is more worthy of being a puppet."

"I remember not supporting Boss Wei?"

"That's their verbal rhetoric. Longmen is located on the border of Great Yan. What they want is to support orthodoxy. As for whether the prince who is in charge will be the prince who was all-powerful at the time, they don't care. The son of the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards at that time In the coming year, Yan and His Majesty fought their way out of Beijing under the siege of those families, and then joined a certain big family in the mobile city of Jiangnan for a short time. The disciples rushed to help the border, which gave these rebellious ministers an opportunity to take advantage of, but in the end, this incident was vindicated with the great assistance of the Jiangnan family. His Majesty Jinghuai won the support and returned to Beijing. Among them, they won the throne again, and because of this, the Yan family is trusted by the royal family."

"Did you have a secret love affair with the female guard when you killed him back then, and finally gave birth to an illegitimate daughter or something?"

"Ahem... This is something that can't be said on the stage. In short, the following things are just like the historical records of Dayan. People who were related to those few families at the beginning were all purged by His Majesty. , the Wu Fu you met at the Longmen, can be regarded as a fish that slipped through the net after being cleared by the imperial guards, if we hadn't traced your information carefully, we might not have discovered that the eldest son of the Wu family still exists in the world."

"So I did you a big favor?"
