Wicked documents

From many perspectives, this is actually not a very difficult problem.Monitoring the behavior of a single white child is effortless for the monster.The lifespan of monsters is extremely long, and in their eyes, human life is nothing but hasty and short.It is really very easy to see clearly what human beings have done in this life.

However, in the end, Xiran was really stumped by the simplest question.

If he could, he wished he could become a mute on the spot.At certain times, being unable to speak doesn't seem to be a bad thing, at least no one will force a mute to say things he doesn't want to say.

Xi Ran stared at the other party sadly, and after only two glances, she found that Xiao Bai's eyes had a strange color again - this guy must not have had time to realize that he has mastered some unique new skills, right?As long as there are signs of being possessed by demons on his body, he can achieve any purpose, at least in front of Xi Ran, this new skill can be of no avail.

"I'll try my best." This is a quiet sigh, definitely not the answer Xiaobai expected, but this is the best answer Xiran can give.

Of course, except for lies.

Looking back, Xiran has never told Xiaobai half a lie, perhaps because he disdains the dignity of being an emperor, or because of other reasons that are more indescribable.In short, Xiran will not lie.When encountering unexplainable situations, he would rather remain silent and never distort the facts.

Therefore, since Xiran said that he would try his best, he will definitely do his best. This is not only for the other party, but even Xiran himself will inevitably have his own unwillingness and uneasiness.

The relationship between two people, in other words, can also be said to be a compromise and concession between the two parties.Xiran has already taken the first step, no matter what to say next, it should be Xiaobai's turn.He should more or less accept the answer given by Xiran, and the lines of his face have gradually eased, but a little crease between his eyebrows still exists, but there is no way, any change cannot be achieved overnight.

Seeing that his complexion has improved a lot, Xi Ran finally feels relieved.At this time, he suddenly remembered his bare feet scratched by broken porcelain all over the floor, so he knelt down and prepared to heal his wounds.

Xiao Bai's voice came from above his head, word by word, even if he didn't look at his expression, he could already feel his seriousness. "As you wish, I can make a promise. If that day comes, I will do my best to keep the monsters alive."

Xiran held Xiaobai's ankle and lifted his injured foot.The promise made by the other party who changed his mind reached his ears, Xi Ran showed relief, and let out a long breath.

"But-"

Xiao Bai's sudden move was really beyond Xi Ran's expectation.His breath was still on the way, and he was almost choked to death after encountering such a stimulus.Looking up at the other party helplessly, he was so speechless for a while, but there was a line of words embedded in the expression on his face very clearly-can't he finish it all at once?Such a turning point is simply too hateful.

Xiaobai lowered his head, and in an instant, he completely changed his face, almost showing a little rogue, "If I can really fulfill my promise, Xiran, what reward are you going to give me?"

He coughed out the breath that was choking in his throat, but the rising anger was not so easily extinguished.Of course Xiran is not an emotional person, but now he needs to use something else to divert his attention, no matter how big or small.Getting angry over some trivial matter seems to be a good choice.

With two fingers, he picked out a fragment that was still embedded in Xiaobai's flesh. Although he didn't deliberately increase the strength of his hand, Xi Ran didn't lighten his strength either. As he wished, he heard a gasping "Hiss—" from above. —" sound.

While checking to see if there were any fragments left in the wound, Xi Ran asked angrily, "What's the matter with you? When you mentioned the reward earlier, you were the one who pushed back and forth. Now that you've made a big circle, Why do you start begging for rewards again?" Never seen so many behaviors like this, Xi Ran simply didn't know how to describe it.

"The rewards from you as the emperor are nothing more than fiefdoms and official positions. I don't care much." Xiaobai does not deny that he still has to chase these external things in the past and future, but that is just a means, not an end.Of course, he would not refuse the imperial court's decree, but there were only the two of them right now, so Xiaobai was unwilling to discuss those unsightly things.

Xi Ran did not deny that this was his original plan, nor was it aimed specifically at Xiaobai. Rewards such as fiefdoms and official positions are customary and common sense.

"Then what do you want?" Xi Ran asked casually, but when the words came out of his mouth, he almost bit his tongue.For no other reason, Xiran suddenly remembered the shallow kiss that Xiaobai had posted not long ago, and the roots of his ears immediately burned.I am very glad that I am lowering my head, otherwise, the blush on the cheeks in the scene, wouldn't it be more conspicuous?

But what happened next will soon prove from a very sad point of view that a certain monster is completely wrong.

"Name." Xiaobai read out these two words lightly.Probably because I have been looking forward to this for too long, longing for it for too long, so that I dare not even open my mouth to put it into words in front of the best opportunity.With a soft sigh, Xiao Bai already felt his heart being grabbed by an invisible hand, and he was sweating coldly from tension.

It's a pity that Xiaobai's voice was so soft that it fluttered past Xiran's ear, and he was very surprised, "Uh? What?"

"Name." Xiaobai said it again. "It is said that Meixi's name was bestowed by you personally. It is her luck that she has received your special attention. I hope I am also lucky enough to have you personally give me a name."

What does it mean to look at each other differently?Xi Ran was dumbfounded by this weird logic.He still doesn't know at the moment that it's not that Xiaobai is looking for faults alone, the Emperor Xiran has personally favored the mixed-race girl of the Void clan, this is already a fact recognized by many people.

Speaking of which, Xiran was really wronged.Giving that girl a name was just to save her life.

It is none other than her own grandfather who cannot tolerate Mei Xi's existence.Although she was rescued by Xi Ran by accident last time, there is no guarantee that she will have such good luck every time.A name bestowed by the emperor Jinkou Yuyan, and the emperor's surname is also embedded in it. These two words can become the amulet of the girl for the rest of her life. Let alone whether she will be rich or not, but at least it can ensure her safety.

Saving Meixi can be said to be the emperor's compassion, or it can be said to be his whim.But Xiran never expected that his act on the spur of the moment would plant such an unexpected hidden danger for himself.

In this world, Baizi's status is too low. Since everyone has a name, they are all too simple, just a symbol for easy addressing, not much different from cats and dogs.Even though Xiaobai has climbed to an unimaginably high position, he is affected by his low birth, so he really doesn't have a serious name.

Although these are facts, Xi Ran doesn't really value them.In his view, a person's dignity should not be affected by these external factors.

name?It turned out that there was nothing wrong with his ears, it wasn't that he couldn't hear clearly just now, it was just that he couldn't understand.

"I have no qualifications to name you. Besides, you are not a few years old. If you think the word 'Xiaobai' is too simple, you can choose one you like. With your achievements today Regardless of whether others are happy or not, they can only respect your opinion in the end.”

What Xi Ran said was not an exaggeration.Before that, because Xiaobai didn't have an official name, in the official documents, even the ministers in the court used the word "General Bai" in his address. Although it was somewhat nondescript, it proved that Xiaobai is no longer what it used to be.So, it's just a name, and his own opinion will definitely be respected by all parties.

Of course, there is a more minor, personal reason, and he is too embarrassed to say it out loud if he kills Xiran—names are definitely not something he is good at.From Meixi's name, it can be seen that those two words were obviously made up mechanically.But using the same patchwork method to help Xiaobai choose a name, Xiran always felt that he would feel sorry for him so hastily.

"I don't want to name myself." Xiao Bai refused very simply.His insistence seems somewhat ridiculous, but he himself is not aware of it—no, even if he is aware of it, he will probably continue in this state of going his own way. "The name should contain a lot of meaning. If I choose it myself, even if everyone in the world can recognize it, it is worthless to me."

The other party has reached this point, if he pushes back and forth again, even Xiran himself will feel extremely unreasonable.Gritting his teeth, he muttered, "I'm not good at this."

Admitting your own weaknesses is simply a very masochistic thing.While suppressing her anger, Xi Ran tried to discuss with the other party, "How about this, you think of something that sounds good to your ear, and then, just treat it as the name I gave you."

In Xiran's view, the best way to achieve the best of both worlds is, to put it bluntly, to take a big corner and do nothing.Xiaobai stared at Xiran very depressed, it was hard to understand how he came up with such a "solution". "I think you're very good at this, Meixi or Weixi, you gave that girl two names at once, and they're both pretty good."

Is it good?Xi Ran expressed deep doubts about this.Well, even if it's really good, it's only because of a burst of inspiration.Inspirations are called inspirations because they don't happen often.What's more, it was due to the pressure of desperation at that time, if Xiran hadn't been quick to come up with wisdom at that time, a good life would have been wiped out in front of him.

However, Xiaobai's situation is different, very different.

"Since you can name her, you can naturally name me too." Xiaobai weighed and compared the two, and became reluctant.

Not long ago, when Xiaobai aggressively issued a series of questions, Xiran only felt that there was no trace of childhood in the other party.But how long has it been?The Xiaobai in front of him has overlapped with the boy from many years ago.No, perhaps it should be said, it is better to become more childish.

Facts have proved that pettyness has nothing to do with race, gender, or age.In this world, there is always something, and there is always someone that you want to monopolize, and you cannot allow others to get involved, even if you only covet it from a distance.

Xiran had some headaches, but it was different from the anxiety she felt when she was asked "what is the way of heaven" just now, and there was even a slight sense of joy in it.

In the end, he didn't know what to do, so he could only pull out a dumbfounding expression. "Give me some time to think about it."

The matter of naming is not considered urgent, you can delay it and think about it slowly.However, the official reward from the imperial court must be given as soon as possible. If the time is too long, many people who make a fuss will have bad associations, thinking that the upstart General Bai has been despised by the emperor.

If those associations just stay at the level of gossip, that's all.The worry is that people with ulterior motives will take the opportunity to stir up trouble.

No one knows better than Xiran how difficult it is for Xiaobai to get to where he is today. Of course, he will not stand by and watch all this happen.It was precisely to put an end to these things that he would personally set foot on the land of the autonomous mining area as an emperor.

In the early morning of the second day, the official decree of the imperial court's reward was finally promulgated.The person who replaced the announcement was Sang Mu'an who accompanied him, but the content of it was drafted by Emperor Xiran himself, and every clause was carefully considered and considered.

Rewards from the imperial court included a large amount of gold and silver, promotion of official positions and many other parts.As Xiaobai said before, he is not very rare about these things.

What really moved him was the following three——

For one thing, the territory of the autonomous mining area expanded ten miles outward.Calculated in a radius of ten miles, the area is not too small. More importantly, the land extending in one direction includes a piece of fertile and fertile land. Food is the most important thing for the people. Sufficient food is exactly what Xiaobai needs most now. Resources are far better than those glittering treasures.

Second, apart from the turned-in part of the ore mined in the mining area, the rest of the absenteeism can be disposed of by oneself.For example, iron ore can be used to make tools necessary for farming, but the use of all ores must be recorded in detail and reported to the court regularly.

Three, Xiaobai can form a self-defense force.The number of people is controlled within a thousand, and the lowest level of weapons are prepared to maintain the security of the autonomous mining area.The team that Xiaobai formed when he put down the Fenggou Mountain rebellion had been disbanded according to the law, but this time with the formal provisions, the team he formed was approved by the court and can be preserved for a long time.

The seemingly innocuous clauses on the surface are really nothing in the eyes of the powerful monsters. For example, in the eyes of the monsters, the so-called thousand-man self-defense force can be turned into a monster with just a few monsters. For the powder.

It was precisely because of the ideas of the monsters and dignitaries that these terms were quickly passed at the court meeting without much trouble.

Xiaobai is very clear that the terms that monsters don't like are of extraordinary value to him, and the next thing he has to consider is how to use them.As long as he takes proper measures, the effects of these three clauses will go far beyond what is written on the surface.

It's just that Xiaobai doesn't know that Emperor Xiran's views on these terms are completely different from those of the courtiers.It was precisely because he knew what consequences would be caused by rewarding these things to human beings that Xi Ran was extremely hesitant for a time.In the end, although the main content of the terms did not change, Xi Ran personally set countless detailed rules, hoping to achieve the safest balance.
