I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

"No. You just need to bring your subordinates to revolt and surrender after my army enters this world. After all, your reputation is very high in the army and civilians of this country. Your uprising and surrender will make me It saves a lot of work." Nangong Xiao paused, and then said, "Of course, I won't be stingy, there will be rewards and the like, and I will also arrange systematic training courses for you, so that you You quickly step into the ranks of true cultivators, and will give you enough cultivation resources, allowing you to have strength beyond me in a short time."

Chapter 797 Esdeth's Courage - Part [-]

"...Beyond His Majesty the Emperor." Estes said playfully, "Isn't Your Majesty afraid that I will be difficult to control when I become stronger?"

"In my state of Qin, my level is only in the middle and lower reaches. There are thousands of people under my command who are stronger than me. Do you think I will care if my subordinates are too strong?"

Nangong Xiao's words made Estes frowned, "I don't think a strong man like you would tell such a lie that can be easily exposed, but if your strength is only in the middle and lower reaches, how can you persuade your subordinates?" ?”

At this moment, she thought of the little puppet emperor of the empire.

——Could it be that the person in front of me is also...

"You misunderstood." Nangong Xiao shook his head and said, seeing Esdesi's thoughts, "I am not a puppet emperor, and Qin does not depend on its strength to determine its status-this matter is a bit complicated to explain. Let's put it this way, my grandfather was the lord of a kingdom, and now he has become a great enshrinement of the Great Qin Empire. I am the only one. At the same time, it can be said that the Great Qin Empire was created by me alone. I have no less prestige as the founding monarch, and there are countless civil servants and military generals who are stronger than me, but willing to die for me. I am so Say, you should understand, right?"

"I see."

After Esdeth nodded suddenly, he couldn't help asking curiously.

"By the way, are you married, His Majesty the Emperor?"

"..."

The topic suddenly turned to this side, not to mention that Nangong Xiao was a little speechless, even Tokisaki Kurumi, who was helping Nangong Xiao tie up her hair and watching the play while holding juice, was also a little speechless at the moment.

In particular, anyone who is not a fool can understand what Esdesi's slightly scorching eyes represent.

But Tokisaki Kurumi didn't speak because of this, but continued to watch the play with great interest.

She knew that it was not her turn to worry about this matter, after all, there were a lot of queens and concubines above her.

Speechless, Nangong Xiao still nodded and replied, "I already have a group of wives and concubines, and I will soon be full of children and grandchildren."

"...What a pity."

A trace of regret really flashed in Estes' eyes, but it dissipated immediately, after all, she didn't care about these things.

However, she recalled it immediately, and asked with some doubts, "The house is full of children and grandchildren? Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor is not young?"

"I am indeed not young. According to human standards, I am already an old man, but according to the standards of our dragon race, I can also be said to be a teenager. After all, the lifespan of our dragon race practitioners is generally hundreds of thousands of years, or even for more."

"Dragonoid...youth...it's really good."

Estes grasped the key point, and became even more interested. With that slightly scorching gaze, Nangong Xiao couldn't help but raise his eyelids.

"Cough." Nangong Xiao cleared his throat and said again, "In short, apart from her strange hobby, Ms. Estes is a qualified soldier and an excellent general. Our country of Qin attaches great importance to talent discovery. And training, but also always open arms to absorb all talents.

Now, I hope to get an accurate answer, Ms. Estes, will you pledge your allegiance to me? "

"I am willing." Without any hesitation, Esdeath agreed directly.

"Very good. Next, Esdeth, you go back to the imperial capital, just go with the flow, but you also need to add fuel to the flames, so that more Tegu envoys will be concentrated in the imperial capital."

"No problem." Estes didn't ask the reason, and still agreed without any hesitation, but his aggressive eyes still wandered on Nangong Xiao.

Seeing Esdes like this, Nangong Xiao hesitated for a while, but still mentioned, "Esdes, the laws, regulations and social morals of each country are different, the Holy Empire (made up, and does not want to use Chinese-style country name.) It is one thing to rule the privileged society of the aristocrats, and another thing is the rule of law society in Qin State. In Qin State, no one can be above the law.

In private, I don't care about the casualness of my subordinates, but in public, you have to be careful. I don't care, but my subjects care so much, even to the point of fanaticism.Similarly, as long as it does not violate Qin's social morals and laws, it is okay to torture the enemy or something, but if it is against one's own people, not to mention others, even I have zero tolerance. "

"...Your servant understands."

Esdesi is not stupid, but also has self-knowledge, so he heard the meaning of Nangong Xiao's words in an instant.

This is a reminder, and it can be regarded as caring.

In her mind, it was someone who didn't want to have an irreconcilable conflict with her on some meaningless things, so she expressed her position in advance.

In other words—isn't this just pity and cherish for her?

Thinking of this, the smile on Estes' face grew wider.

If she wanted to communicate more, she deliberately found a topic, "Can His Majesty be above the law?"

Nangong Xiao replied seriously, "As far as my prestige is concerned, I can be unscrupulous, but I can do it if I can, but I won't do it."

"Is it because of principles and role models?"

"It is also the key to the long-term stability of a country."

"It's really wise."

"Well." Nangong Xiao accepted the compliment calmly, and then said, "Esdes, after returning to the capital of the Holy Empire, besides letting nature take its course, you also need to take some time to come to my temporary stronghold occasionally to cooperate with me. Doing research, I am very interested in your body modified by [Devil's Essence]."

As if he only heard the second half of Nangong Xiao's words, Esdeth's cheeks were a little red, "It's so straightforward, I'm actually interested in the subject's body - but if it's His Majesty, the subject doesn't mind Oh~"

"You misunderstood—forget it, you will understand when the time comes." Nangong Xiao didn't bother to explain, and looked back at Tokisaki Kurumi, "San San, are the 'Night Raiders' still there?"

"Already ran away, it seems that I was frightened by your arrow, A Xiao."

"Really, forget it, let's go back to the base first."

After Nangong Xiao finished speaking, she stood up, put her left hand on Tokisaki Kurumi's shoulder, and stretched out her right hand towards Esdesh.

"Do you want to go together? Although this place is not far from the emperor, if you go with us, you can save a lot of time."

"Then let's go together."

Estes smiled and jumped to Nangong Xiao's side, putting his right hand on Nangong Xiao's right hand.

"Wait a minute and don't resist."

"it is good."

Estes let Nangong Xiao hold his hand, and looked at Nangong Xiao who was about ten centimeters taller than her with great interest.

The closer she got, the more she found that she liked this man, especially the faint aura that made her want to stop, which made her gaze even hotter.

Regarding this, Nangong Xiao felt relieved, but said nothing, and directly activated the fixed-point teleportation scroll.

The three of them disappeared immediately...

Chapter 798 Untitled

After Esdeth was brought back to the temporary stronghold of the Imperial Capital by Nangong Xiao through spatial displacement, Esdeth was not much surprised by this, after all, she had already seen Teigu that could be spatially displaced.

But after looking at this temporary stronghold, Esdes seemed a little dissatisfied, so he said to Nangong Xiao, "Dear His Majesty the Emperor, I have my own official residence in the imperial capital, oh—their official residence is very luxurious. , the bed is also very big and comfortable~”

"..." Nangong Xiao and Tokisaki Kurumi couldn't help but twitch their mouths slightly.

Esther said again, "Dear Emperor, don't worry, as long as I declare that you are my newly recruited people, no one will bother, no matter whether it is Ernest or the little emperor. .”

Nangong Xiao shook his head and said, "I know your prestige in the Holy Empire, but as far as I know, your mansion is inside the imperial city, which is a little inconvenient for us to come and go. Well, we will have a lot of Time must be spent in the market place, although the place is dilapidated and simple, it is more convenient."

"OK then."

Now that Nangong Xiao said so, Esdesh didn't force it.

In her opinion, the future is long and there is no rush.

At this time, Nangong Xiao said again, "You should go to meet the saint to report on your duties first, and then come to us when you are free. If there are no special circumstances, our temporary base will not change. Even if it changes, we will notify you in time. "

"That's good." Estes nodded slightly, and then said, "Is there anything else I need to do?"

Nangong Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, you can just let nature take its course."

"In this case, then I'll go first." Esdeth said without procrastination, smiled at Tokisaki Kurumi, turned and left.

After the main entrance of the temporary stronghold was closed by Estes when he left, Tokisaki Kurumi said, "Ah Xiao, you...have captured her?"

"That's right. After all, regardless of men and women, most people are superficial creatures with facial features. Well, I am very confident in my own appearance and temperament. It is normal for Estes to like it. Of course, Estes The cognition that 'the weak submit to the strong is justified' has also become an important catalyst."

"That sounds like the same thing... But, most people are superficial and face-controlled creatures? I always feel that you, A Xiao, deserve a beating."

"Beating up? Maybe. In my opinion, without special preconditions, most men like beautiful women. The reverse is that without special preconditions, women who like handsome men also like The vast majority. So the conclusion is that the vast majority of people, regardless of gender, are superficial color-controlled creatures. And I am just one of many superficial people."

"Uh...Although your conclusion sounds reasonable, I always feel a little weird..."

"Well, don't think so much, go, go back to the room, and continue to explore the spirit crystal."

"Okay~"

......

Let's talk about Lao Zheng, Chu Xuan and others.

After a long journey for several days, Lao Zheng and his party finally arrived at the southernmost border of the Holy Empire, and relatively smoothly entered the area ruled by the rebel army.

The mission of Chu Xuan and Zhou Fuzheng to kill the rebel officers and soldiers was also successfully completed.

After all, as long as they choose rebels in non-strategic locations to attack, and with the help of three senior members of Lao Zheng, things will become quite simple.

Of course, this matter was also hidden from Iyeas and Shayou.

After Iyeyas and Shayou fully recovered, they were fooled by Lao Zheng and others into the support staff of the "Hunting Dangerous Mercenary Squad".

When Lao Zheng and others went out to operate in southern Xinjiang, Iyeas and Shayou stayed in the safe area to take care of the horses' luggage and prepare meals for Lao Zheng and others.

Of course, Iyeas and Shayou are willing to do this kind of job with good salary and no danger, not to mention Lao Zheng and others are their saviors, even if they don't get paid, they are willing to repay their favor .

Not to mention how about Iyeas and Shayou who were limped by being fooled, after Chu Xuan and Zhou Fuzheng's missions were completed, Lao Zheng, Chu Xuan and others did not leave in a hurry, but collected as much as possible while ensuring their own safety. Some rebel-related intelligence, especially negative intelligence, is particularly important.

However, what makes Chu Xuan and others regret is that they cannot enter the middle and high levels of the rebel army, and it is difficult to collect more intuitive black information. The scene of killing and looting was carried out while the rebels watched indifferently.

Regarding the fact that the barbarian troops were able to enter the territory of the empire, Lao Zheng, Chu Xuan and others could also understand the mechanism.

It is nothing more than the inability of the rebel army to contend with the empire alone, thus making the choice to introduce external forces.

For example, contact the northern aliens in the north, contact the Western Kingdom in the west, and contact the southern barbarians in the south, disintegrating the power of the empire from multiple aspects.

This seems to be a good move, but it is a bad move.

After all, once the rebel army is unable to restrain the military discipline of foreign races, the introduction of foreign aid will only discredit the rebel army and arouse hatred among the people of the empire.

However, the scene that Lao Zheng, Chu Xuan and others saw proved the opposite. This may be that some short-sighted high-level rebels acquiesced in the barbarians' burning and killing of the civilians in the empire. The conditions are also uncertain.

In this regard, Lao Zheng, Chu Xuan and others who had a very strong national consciousness also had a very bad impression of the rebel army.

But no matter what, the rebel army tacitly allowed the barbarians to massacre the civilians of the empire, which has also been recorded by Lao Zheng and others, especially focusing on the scenes of the rebel army watching with cold eyes, watching the imperial civilians being raped, raped, looted, and slaughtered.

What made Lao Zheng and others even more complicated was that in the next few days, they actually encountered this situation twice, and both were the ones with the presence of rebels.

It seems that the role of the rebels at the scene is to, when necessary, restrict the barbarians from extending this massacre to the entire newly occupied area, thereby preserving the interests of the rebels.

All these things made Lao Zheng and others completely understand that this must be a private treaty between the high-level rebel army and the barbarians, otherwise those barbarian soldiers would never do such things that would destroy the alliance relationship one after another.

With this judgment, Lao Zheng and others' perception of the rebel army became even worse.

If it wasn't because of their strength, they all wanted to break into the headquarters of the rebel army, so as to ask what the high-level rebel army thought.

After obtaining enough black information about the rebel army, Chu Xuan also contacted Nangong Xiao through satellite communication. He said that he would pass through the hometown of Iyeas and Shayou to go to the destination, so that the two could take the opportunity to visit relatives and friends.

Iyeas and Shayou immediately expressed happily that when they arrived in their hometown, they would definitely greet Lao Zheng and others well, and then happily went north with Lao Zheng and others.

When Lao Zheng and others went north, in the imperial capital of the Holy Empire, Esdes also met the little emperor of the Holy Empire and Minister Ernest in the court hall.

It was also confirmed from the side that it was Minister Hornest who was worried that the imperial capital's high-end combat power would be insufficient, so the rebel army would take up the vacancy, so she urgently summoned her back.

And Minister Ornest has also ordered the summoning of the Teigu envoys of the counties and cities, and plans to let Esdes lead a special operations force composed of Teigu envoys, so as to wipe out the Teigu envoys of the rebel army or various killer organizations.

Estes was also very relieved about this.

The more evil and powerful a person like Ernest is, the easier it is to be overwhelmed, and the more timid and cautious he is.

It is also reasonable to do things like letting the frontline commander who is conquering alien races suddenly return to the imperial capital.

Regarding this, Esdeth was not emotional, so he just followed Nangong Xiao's instructions and accepted the arrangements and rewards from the little emperor and Minister Ernest.

As for what reward?

Of course, it was Esdes who rewarded hundreds of thousands of aliens when he left northern Xinjiang.

Although Minister Hornest is a traitor who has harmed the country and the people, it doesn't mean that he doesn't even understand the most basic way to win people's hearts.

And at the beginning, Ornest was prepared to be criticized for the temporary transfer of the front-line commander, but who would have thought that Esdes was so capable?

He actually killed hundreds of thousands of aliens before leaving the northern border, thus solving the problem of the northern border of the empire in one go.

Surprise was nothing but surprise, but it really saved Ernest some effort.

In a good mood, Ernest rewarded him even more.

After the award was completed, Ernest asked Esdes to investigate what happened tens of kilometers north of the imperial capital before the Teigu envoys assembled. After all, the momentum at that time really scared Ernest half dead.

In this regard, Estes also directly said that she made a big noise because she was annoyed by a group of thieves on the way back to the imperial capital, so she vented.
