Beauty Steals the Country [End Times]

After wiping his face, Mu Xishan returned the towel to Pearl and put on the veil, "Can I trust you?"

Zhu'er immediately knelt down in fear, "What did I do wrong? That made you so suspicious! I would like to swear to the gods to be loyal to you for the rest of my life!"

Mu Xishan helped Zhu'er up, "Then go and get me a bandage, a knife, tweezers, disinfectant alcohol, and medicine to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, and don't let anyone see it."

After Pearl left, Mu Xishan lifted his cloak and took off his trousers, revealing his long black and yellow legs. He felt a foreign object at the heel of his leg. Mu Xishan pressed it again and again, and finally confirmed that when he heard that he was promoted to the city lord, there was a slight lump under his skin. The magic fluctuation is not an illusion... The holy book he hid in his body also traveled through the other world.

But there is no magic here, how can there be magic power from the holy book?

Could it be that this era is still...involved with the Mowu Continent?

Zhu Er knocked on the door and came in, put the things aside, and was driven out by Mu Xishan.

The medical affairs in the Mowu Continent use light therapy. Mu Xishan is not familiar with the backward medical skills here. Fortunately, the original body is very familiar with treating wounds in his slave life. He picked up alcohol, disinfected the knife and legs first, gritted his teeth, and used The blade cut a gash at the base of the leg.Due to the pain, his fingers trembled physiologically. The tweezers probed the open wound several times before they pulled out a piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing. The process of pulling out the paper was even more tormented. , Pick up the painkiller and hemostatic medicine and spray it on the wound.

The pain subsided a little, and only then did he notice that the blood on the blade and the wound was not the red color in the memory of the original body, but mixed with traces of light green.

When the color becomes as transparent as green, it is the blood of wood elves.

So... Not only is the soul fused with the body, the reaction brought by the fusion, maybe even the appearance of the body is assimilated, a flash of inspiration, a picture suddenly came to mind, it was Yan Ling's prediction: nine little turtles crawling towards a on the back of a giant tortoise.

Ninety-nine return to one, which means returning to the original point.

Nine is a number full of mystery here, counting ninety-nine, you get 81, maybe 81 days after the fusion of the soul, his beauty will also be restored.Raising his hand to touch his face, the scar is still deep... It seems that he will continue to maintain this image, before he can gain a firm foothold and allow his true face to be revealed.

Mu Xishan finished bandaging the wound, wiped off the tissue paper with the remaining bandage, and shook it gently.

Due to the fast hand speed, the single-page paper under the hand crossed the air to produce overlapping afterimages, like countless sheets of paper. When Mu Xishan stopped, the paper pages turned into a thin book.

The holy book of the founding of the country.

This book is regarded as a national treasure. It is said that the book contains the national copy of Aslante, which can change dynasties.In order to overthrow Lan Rui who usurped the power, Mu Xishan broke through the defense of the palace and sneaked into the secret room after going through many dangers.Under the light mask was a dusty book, like an abandoned draft book. He forcibly resisted the stinging pain of the light burning his skin until his skin and flesh turned into blood, and only then did he get the legendary treasure of vibrating the country.

He opened the holy book with his gray finger bones, and was shocked to find that there was no text inside, and even the front and back covers were difficult to distinguish because there was no reference.

At this time, the cover turned golden, with three large characters written on it:

〖Li〗〖Country〗〖Book〗

Written in runes.

Stretching out his hand to flip through, the pages of the book that could have been flipped at will remain motionless.Standing upright, one can see from the side that a page close to the cover is activated into gold, showing a golden line, but it cannot be opened. The subsequent pages are as hard as bricks, and the number of pages cannot be distinguished, maintaining a frozen state.

Muxishan was suspicious, put the holy book into his clothes, and wiped the back of his hand with a very rough cloth, which was used to prevent light pollution-natural disasters and man-made disasters caused China to fall apart, the Kyoto government existed in name only, the bases were independent, post-disaster reconstruction focused on heavy industry And militarily, light industry has still not improved much.

When Mu Xishan opened the door again, Zhu'er was already waiting outside the door, Mu Xishan turned away, and let Zhu'er come in to pack tools and medicines.

Eating in the front yard, there are two plates, a bowl and a drink on the table.

The drink is squeezed cactus juice, sometimes swapped for aloe vera, which turns into juice after the weekly base hunting days.In the bowl are leaf cakes, a staple food made from a variety of desert succulents.The main dishes are all meat, one dish is hot fried sand lizard meat, and the other dish is a bit creepy cold dish: scorpion beetle mixed with ants.

Mu Xishan pushed the cold dish away expressionlessly, until he reached the farthest edge of the long table, and then walked back and sat down safely.

Zhu'er blinked, stepped forward, and picked up the cold dish, "Let me carry it away for you."

"No need...it will make people misunderstand that I am timid of these guys with big thumbs." Mu Xishan's eyes flicked over the cold dishes, and he refused to give a glimpse of it any longer, and said without changing his face, "It's just that they are terrible. The appearance of it made me lose my appetite, that's all."

"As you wish." Zhu'er put down the dinner plate, took off the decorations from the shelf next to her, covered the cold dishes densely, and said with a smile, "I wish you a pleasant meal!"

Pearl was about to step back when she saw the fresh stack of daily morning papers on the shelf, and her steps stopped.Zhuer is a professional maid who graduated from a college. Ever since she was sent to study in the far south by her poor parents, she has dreamed of assisting a wise city lord one day, using her meager power to guide the city lord and live for that land. residents, contribute a little bit of strength.When she was assigned by the college to work in her hometown, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, but when she walked into the City Lord's Mansion, which she had looked up to countless times when she was young, disappointment washed over her dreams over and over again.

The old city lord and the middle-aged successor are all brawny and brainless fools. Whether it is the daily newspaper reading for breakfast or the evening reading guide before going to bed, they have been canceled one after another. Countless expensive paper books that scholars cannot afford , is regarded as a tool to expand the facade and placed in a conspicuous place.

She used to hope that her successor would be different, but the endless foolish actions of the former city lord completely disappointed her.

Then something happened that she will never forget:

Her parents provoked a dispute because they resisted the new humans, and the new humans threatened to punish their parents. She sought help from the city lord, but the city lord ordered her to pressure her parents to make amends. General persuasion, "I'm doing this for your sake...offending the new human beings is asking for death. If you don't hand over your troublesome parents, can you have the heart to implicate your young brother innocently?"

After the parents learned about it, in order to protect the two children from being implicated, they committed suicide in the house and wrote a blood letter to make amends and reduce the anger of the new humans. However, his younger brother went crazy and ran out after seeing the corpse with his own eyes. No corpse.

The reality is so cruel...does she have to trust again?

Maybe this time, the new city lord will bring life to this rotten base?

Zhu'er picked up the "Northern Morning Post" and asked Mu Xishan, "Do you want me to read you the copy of this morning's news?"

Mu Xishan swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, looked up and said, "I need it so much."

"Okay." Zhu'er opened the newspaper and read aloud incessantly: "In-depth Analysis of the Night Raid on the Border Town""

"...The dispute between the border town and the north has been going on for a long time. If you want to discuss all of them, you can write a "Hundred Years of War". Every month, there are large and small wars, but this sudden night attack, tens of thousands of pioneers multi-line In the battle, even after attacking several cities, there was no news in advance. This can only draw two conclusions: 1. The scouts are incompetent.

2. There are spies.

The first point is purely a joke, but the second point makes people think that not long ago, the secret phone information from the Yungui base to the Panlong base was leaked.The leaked content was what led to the night attack.This morning's Panlong base announcement disclosed the telephone information: after the winter, we will face a seven-year seasonal reversal!

Beginning in October of the reversal month, winter turns to summer, and the cycle of the four seasons is rearranged until October of the following year, returning to normal.Autumn is only a few days away, and no one can forget the enemy of summer: mutant mosquitoes.

Since the "X" virus visited the earth in the last century, it has mutated globally, starting with humans, ranging from animals and plants to small snakes, insects, rats and ants. The most frightening thing is the living dead, but the most frightening thing is the mutated mosquito. .

Mosquitoes feed on blood, are difficult to catch, and have tenacious vitality.And blood is precisely the way the virus spreads. The blood of the living dead sucked into the stomach is neutralized by the gastric juice into a new type of potent toxin, collectively called mosquito venom.It is not contagious, but it can destroy human immunity very quickly. It is acceptable for adults, but nine out of ten children and pregnant women die, seriously endangering the number of newborns.

Based on this analysis, the reason for the eagerness of the border towns to attack at night can be drawn: the grassland is the most severely affected area by mosquitoes, so they have to find a place to settle in the desert where there is no grass to prepare for the mosquito poisoning.The Panlong Base held a meeting last night and was ready to sign a "Peace Treaty" with the tribes in the border towns. On the condition of temporarily lending the breached base, the population of the base will be rescued and the mosquito disaster will be overcome together.

Here's last night's report:

The forwards of the enemy's F, G, and H armies in the border town all went out, passing through seven cities, breaking through the four bases of A, E, L, and P, and confronted the Alpha base head-on. The Beta base also fell into the enemy's hands, and only one base was safe. ,that is--"

"Base S." Zhu'er looked up at Muxi Mountain, "This time we are well-known in the north."

Mu Xishan nodded, and said flatly, "Next."

Zhu'er turned to the next page, and was about to read, her eyes froze for a moment, she glanced at Mu Xishan repeatedly, but she never opened her mouth to read.

"What's wrong?" Mu Xishan looked up and saw the headline: "The city lord's wife Yan Chou frightened the enemy back, "self-recommended pillow mat" rescued the crisis of breaking the city!" 》At the same time, the same matter was being discussed in the conference room of the Panlong base office building.

"Didn't you say that the enemy intends to send [-] troops against Base S, just to avoid a direct confrontation?" The speaker flipped through his newly published newspaper, and said in disbelief, "Just because of the city lord's wife's words, the army can't be defeated. Directly confront the Alpha base three hundred miles away?"

Another person couldn't help sighing: "Then how ugly is he?"

Jiang Rong flipped through the descriptions in the newspaper, such as "knife scars", "thin as a skeleton", "ugly as a nightshade", and compared the phrase "self-recommended pillow", and laughed, "This is an interesting person."

Jiang Qi glanced at Jiang Rong with displeasure, and said slowly: "This man blew himself up to save the base. His courage and character are commendable. Why do you all have the nerve to slander him so lightly?"

Due to the majesty of the city lord, everyone immediately fell silent, turning up various proposals and pretending.

Fu Jinglan, who was sitting opposite Jiang Qi, put down the manicure knife, blew off the white powder left on her nails, raised her feminine face to look at Jiang Qi's serious expression, raised her chin, and perched on her thick and curled eyelashes At the end of the eyes, there is a strong interest in the eyes.

Over the Panlong Base, billowing yellow sand slowly moved over from the northeast.

The huge mutated flying bird with red beak and white body uttered a few displeased words, turned back to the southwest, and crossed several bases in an instant.

Under its wings, the city that has undergone nuclear cleansing is a barren ruin, while the lush green land is isolated by layers of high-voltage power grids, with large or small bases distributed between the two.

The No. [-] Panlong base in the north, in order to prevent being buried in the sandstorm, the entire city building is several meters high, with a majestic and strange shape. From a bird's eye view, it looks like a thirsty dragon trapped in the vast loess, huge and weak.

Adjacent to the Panlong base, which is tens of thousands of kilometers away, is a mountain range that was "squeezed" out of the ground due to the movement of the crust and magnetic field in the early years, suspended in the air in an inverted cone shape, hundreds of meters above the ground, and became one of the seven wonders of the new century. It is called "Sky City".Because of the rich vegetation and the large sea of ​​flowers on the mountain, it is known as the "Flower Capital".

When the shadow of the giant bird crossed over the S base, Mu Xishan had just finished breakfast. Zhu Er was hesitating and thinking about words. While looking at her watch, she closed the newspaper and put it back on the shelf. Suddenly, she heard a noise not far away. As soon as it lit up, "Madam Su Yun is back!"

Turning her head to look at the motionless Muxi Mountain, Zhu Er said with a headache, "You should go and say hello anyway."

Mu Xishan nodded, got up and walked out, and recalled Mu Xishan's memory by the way: the former city lord of S Base had two sons, the eldest son was fierce and brave, and was the heir expected by everyone, and the youngest son was lustful and incompetent, and was Mu Xishan's husband.Su Yun is Mu Xishan's sister-in-law. She was born in Yungui Base, the first of the four major bases. She married her eldest son a few years ago. After succeeding to the throne, she was downgraded from "the wife of the quasi-city lord" to "the widow".

In the twilight of the early morning, the maid surrounded the three people and walked towards each other.

The first one is a woman, wearing a hat on her head, covering her bald head. Wrinkles are stacked on her face. She looks like 20 when she is less than 50 years old, which is premature aging.The local life expectancy of 50 is regarded as the end of life, and 20 is classified as middle-aged, but Su Yun may not even live to 20.

Su Yun has Liu Yemei with kind hearts, she speaks in a soft voice, and is carefully embraced by a middle-aged man with a refined face.Su Yun raised her head when she heard footsteps, and when she saw Mu Xishan, she immediately rolled her eyes with a smile, walked quickly, and said with concern: "Xishan, I'm relieved to see that you're okay! Last night was so chaotic, I always wanted to come to you, but Gao Shen Fei wanted to pull me away first, saying that he would send someone to pick you up, which made me worry that I didn't sleep well all night. I just heard that you took over as the city lord this morning, so I asked him to send me back... Say congratulations!"

Su Yun smiled kindly, Mu Xishan looked down, saw the blue shadow in front of Su Yun, raised his head and nodded slightly, "Thank you, sister-in-law." Turning to look at Gao Shen who had been standing beside Su Yun.

Different from Su Yun's sincerity, Gao Shen is a restrained person with a decent appearance and clear eyes, "Congratulations to the city lord."

Mu Xishan was not good at greeting people, so he turned his head and looked at Zhu'er who stared at him with wide eyes, and consciously completed the task, saying: "You are busy, I will go ahead."

"Isn't this perfunctory too obvious? Sister Su, why are you talking to him?" A moderate female voice complained from behind, Zhu'er immediately stopped in her tracks and turned her head with heavy eyes.

Su Yun disapproved and accused Feifei Sun, "Don't be rude! He is the lord of the city." Because her tone was too gentle, it lacked deterrent effect.

Sun Feifei shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and said in a tone full of superiority, "Hmph, it's just luck. If your husband hadn't died, it would be his idiot husband's turn to be the city lord with this ugly monster!"

I don't know which word touched Gao Shen, and made the man who always pays attention to demeanor look displeased.

Sun Feifei shrunk her neck and said coquettishly, "Okay, let's not talk about it." She muttered softly, "I really don't feel pity at all."

Zhu'er was about to watch for a while, when she suddenly found that Mu Xishan had gone a long way without looking back, so she hurriedly chased after her, and while watching Mu Xishan's expression, she said, "The one who tells you right and wrong is Feifei Sun."

"Sun Feifei?" Mu Xishan was puzzled, "What is her background?" Dare to openly offend the lord of a city?

"We have two major forces in China. One is the local forces, like you, and the other is the class forces. The local forces are like a mess, fighting openly and secretly, and doing their own thing. The class forces are in the hands of the new human trade unions. You know, although now The position of the new humans is awkward, but it is the criterion for measuring the strength of the base, and the trade unions' flattery of classization makes the new humans condense into a rope that binds various local forces."

Zhu'er looked back at Feifei Sun's face, which was more and more beautiful in the morning light. She had black hair, red lips, big eyes, and slightly dark skin, but she was also a "black pearl" with round pearls. Miss Man, known as the "Shuangshu of China".

"Sun Feifei is the granddaughter of the president of the trade union. She has been well-known since she was a child, so she always thinks highly of herself."

Self-esteem?

"...It's quite high." Mu Xishan suddenly caught an interesting expression when he turned around the rockery.

Gao Shen bowed her head tenderly to talk to Su Yun. Sun Feifei glanced lightly over Su Yun's old face, and then glanced at Gao Shen's love and affection. She lowered her head and raised one corner of her mouth, showing contempt.

In Mowu Continent's royal family standards, this kind of beauty is not even allowed in the front hall, at most it is a helper in the back kitchen... The conceit of appearance in this era is really so cheap.

Mu Xishan looked regretful, looked away, and strode away.

It's a pity... He doesn't like to admit defeat. In his previous life, he was the "No. [-]" companion and stood out among tens of thousands of young people. It's not because he has better means than others, but because of his stubbornness.Mu Xishan does not force things that are not his, but as long as he has the capital, he will never allow others to be better than him, including such a sharp weapon as beauty.

"Why did Feifei Sun come to Base S?" Mu Xishan asked casually.

"It's for Mr. Jiang Jun—Mr. Jiang Jun once studied at the Yunnan-Guizhou Base. Feifei Sun fell in love with him at first sight. She followed Mr. Jiang Jun, who graduated from the union headquarters, to the north. Not long ago, Mr. Jiang Jun was transferred to S Base, and Feifei Sun also followed him. ’ replied Pearl.
