Tianjia

Throwing these bits and pieces of mithril materials aside, Xi Cai walked out of the room and went to the Donglu Palace. On this day, he did not return all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Yun didn't go out, but just rested quietly in the room, and Jiu was watching outside. According to the young master, he just treats Gu Yun as his master during this time.

It doesn't matter to Jiu, in his opinion, as long as it is something the master likes, whether it is living or inanimate, it needs to work hard to protect it.

Unexpectedly, this male servant named Gu Yun was very well-behaved and sensible.

Not only is it not like other males, when they can’t see the female master twice in three days, they will start to lose their appetite, be depressed, and worry about being abandoned or falling out of favor.

Moreover, they will not be picky about food, clothing, housing, and transportation. There is no need for male servants to serve them, and there is no pampering problem that they cannot sleep without the female master.

I have seen many of these tricks before, whether it is true or not, anyway, these males always want to create a phenomenon that they will die soon without a female master, as if to express their lifelong slavery .

Gu Yun didn't know what the female guard outside was thinking. He rejected the suggestion of using Yaxiong as a servant, and seized the rare opportunity to do it himself, simply and casually.

At the beginning, Jiu was not in a hurry about the matter of Young Master Xi entering the palace, he just needed to perform his protection task well.

But for three days in a row, Master Xi didn't return to his residence, and there was no news from Ling, which made Jiu feel a little anxious.

Gu Yun stayed in one room for three consecutive days. Apart from the necessary daily activities, most of his time was spent looking up information.

There is a study room here, which should have been left by the envoys who have visited over the years. It has recorded a lot of materials from the two continents, and there are also many small folk notes, which can just be supplemented.

It's a pity that Gu Yun flipped through many books as fast as he could, but couldn't find any way to go home.

This gave him an ominous premonition... Could it be that the stardust bomb really caused the interlacing of time and the turbulence of space, which is rare in ten thousand years, making him homeless even if he is alive.

Gu Yun raised his hand, rubbed the center of his brows, relieved the tiredness of his eyes, put the book back in his hand, and when he was about to pick up the next one, suddenly Jiu came in to report that there was a visitor outside.

Gu Yun was slightly taken aback, and asked, "Who is here?"

Jiu handed over the other party's name card and said, "It's the hero of the First Army, named Su Yu."

The Eastern Land is different from the Western Land in that there are not many aristocratic families, and the military power is paramount here, so many powers in the imperial capital are held in the hands of the commanders of the four armies.

Gu Yun recalled the information about the commander of the First Army. It was a female named Wen. He was also in charge of receiving foreign envoys in the past, so it was normal to send greeting cards.

It's just that Xi is not at the residence at this time, presumably this General Wen also knows, so he sent his hero over... I don't know why.

He changed into suitable clothes, went to the main hall, and followed the female master's instructions, just be a mascot docilely.

When Su Yu stepped into the hall, he saw that sitting high above him, the male attendant of the new envoy of the West Land. It was rumored that he was favored, so he was carried with him.

The style of this new envoy is completely different from the previous trash named Xiu, but it suits Emperor Jia's taste, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the palace for three consecutive days and was left in the palace.

This is the preferential treatment that any envoy throughout the ages has never been able to receive!

Su Yu sat on the guest seat generously, and did not despise Gu Yun just because he was a servant. If he wanted to find out more information about the new envoy, it was natural to start with the hero who was close to him, which was the most direct and convenient .

His tone was natural, and he exchanged a few pleasantries in a gentle manner. After finishing the polite words, he quietly opened the central topic.

"Emperor Jia invited your female master into the palace to discuss matters related to the former envoy. At first we all thought that His Majesty would not be persuaded, but we didn't expect the female named Xiu to be saved!"

"Your hostess is really powerful. If I had known, I would have sent him directly. Why let that useless envoy lower the public's impression of Xilu?"

Gu Yun smiled politely. He also knew that Xiu was not executed in public, but he was not released either. Instead, he didn't know where he was being held. Presumably, the current chief and that Emperor Jia were still negotiating.

Su Yu saw that the male attendant seemed very reserved, probably because he was often squeezed dry by the female master, so he didn't dare to speak casually.

So, he started from another aspect, and said, "I was in the restaurant before and saw your animal carts passing by. I was amazed when I caught a glimpse..."

"But I remember that you still have a collar around your neck. I have seen the former envoy's male slaves before. They all wear heavy shackles around their necks. It is said that it is one of the traditions of the Western Land."

After he finished speaking, he deliberately stared at Gu Yun's neck twice, and then said curiously, "Is that collar taken off now?"

There is nothing that cannot be said, Gu Yun nodded slightly, and said, "Let me take the favor of the female master."

Su Yu pondered for a moment, then continued to ask, "You... don't need to call yourself a slave. I didn't expect that the envoys who also came from the West Land would have such a big gap in family traditions and rules."

He sighed, "It's no wonder Emperor Jia valued your female master. Here, males are valuable and worthy of affirmation, not something insignificant."

Gu Yun also had the intention of probing Dong Lu a little bit. He kept quiet for a while, and learned a lot about the current situation from the mouth of this hero, and slowly took the initiative.

While chatting, Su Yu suddenly realized that he came here specially to see if he could get some useful information from this male servant, which was better than nothing.

But gradually, it turned into him telling the whole story, what he could say and what he couldn't say, all leaked out of his mouth...

Su Yu immediately stopped talking, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I've bothered you for so long before I knew it, and I didn't expect us to be able to talk like this."

"Tomorrow there will be a flower viewing feast. It's not a formal event. You can be more casual. I just want to ask you out for a walk, so that I can experience our local customs, how about it?"

Before Gu Yun could speak, Jiu interrupted, "I'm sorry Su Xiongjun, the Chief Minister told me before leaving that Gu Xiongshi was not allowed to leave the residence without his permission, and please wait for the Chief Minister to come back before making an invitation. .”

When Gu Yun heard the words, he also nodded and said, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to go out at the moment."

Su Yu was stunned for a moment, but with a bit of regret in his eyes, he said, "I didn't expect that you didn't even have the right to go in and out of the house...We can't say anything about the rules in Xilu, but it's just hard for you."

He looked at Gu Yun sympathetically, and said, "You are all alone here, isn't it very boring? If you don't dislike it, I can often come to accompany you, chat and talk with you."

Gu Yun nodded. It would be nice to have one more channel to inquire about news. He replied politely, "Thank you for your kindness. Welcome to come again next time."

Su Yu looked at this male servant who was calm on the surface but pretended to be strong, and suddenly knew something in his heart.

This is just like the male waiter brought by the name Xiu before, seeing the male in Donglu live so comfortably, he will feel extremely inferior.

At this time, if there is an opportunity to allow them to stay and become residents of the Eastern Land, surely no male from the Western Land would refuse such an olive branch!

Su Yu thought, when he came next time, he would find an opportunity to close the door and speak his mind, and he should be able to get all the news about the banquet.

I just don't know how much this male servant is favored, how much information he can grasp, whether it is important...

When Su Yu made an appointment to come back tomorrow, after he got up and left, Jiu and Gu Yun said, "Donglu and Xilu have always had some conflicts. I'm afraid this Xiongjun is not kind. You have to be more careful, don't be tricked."

"I didn't promise to let you go out just now, just in case..."

"I know, you mean well." Gu Yun smiled, and said in a gentle tone, "It doesn't matter, just follow the female master's arrangement."

He secretly analyzed that when Xi entered the palace this time, not only were they unable to receive news, but even the various forces in the Eastern Continent Imperial City did not understand why the new envoy had been summoned for so long.

Therefore, summing up all the news...there is a high probability that Xi has something important to discuss with Emperor Jia.

Gu Yun blindly guessed that there might be some news from the Imperial City, which needs to be conveyed by Xi.

Standing aside, Jiu felt that this male had a good temper, was beautiful and well-behaved, and what was rare was that he was not cowardly or stage-frightened.

God knows that he had been preparing just now to save Xiong Shi when he was verbally bullied, but he did not expect to witness a classic tutorial of anti-clichés.

But if the young master doesn't come back again, those guys who are secretly peeping and wanting to inquire will probably not let it go.

At this time, in the palace.

Xi looked at the reply letter he received after three days, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, a little speechless.

When he learned that he was Jiadi's son, he was not too surprised, after all, he had already guessed in his heart before that.

But when Emperor Jia told him that Emperor Jia was on the other side of the blood relationship, Xi was really taken aback.

The relationship between West Land and East Land is not friendly in itself, so they almost met each other in battle. Everyone wants to swallow up the other half and unify the mainland.

The rulers of these two countries actually have such an incredible intersection...

After he learned about his life experience, he knew why Emperor Jia would send him here with peace of mind as a new envoy, probably because he wanted Emperor Jia to take care of him more.

Xi couldn't help pressing the center of his eyebrows. Indeed, even if he was an illegitimate child, he would not have a good reputation, but if he had Huang Jia as his backer, he wouldn't need to worry about anything.

But...Xi thought of the letter Jiadi asked him to bring to Emperor Jia, and Emperor Jia didn't hide it, and opened it for him to read.

What is written on it...? !

Not to mention other miscellaneous words, the last sentence, "the ruthless root that never refuses", isn't it really talking about Emperor Jia?

Whether it is Donglu or Xilu, the number of females is the least, and then in Yaxiong, the number of males is far more than females.

But the ruler of the Westland has always been a male, and unlike Gadi who has three thousand harems, his harem is not fixed.

The four generals and commanders under Emperor Jia will give birth to cubs for him, and then select a male with both talent and appearance and good genes to ascend to the throne.

Those females who couldn't lead the four armies lost the qualification to be close to Emperor Jia. Unless they could come from behind and kick out their competitors, they could only find a bunch of inferior males.

Of course, if you are lucky, if you are spotted by Emperor Jia alone, you will also be rewarded with a night of fun.

Survival of the fittest among each other, and Xilu's respect for strength and competition for the throne, is actually the same reason.

What is ultimately guaranteed is the spread of excellent bloodlines and the ultimate development of talents.

Xi originally thought that Emperor Jia would get angry and drive him away when he saw it, but the other party chatted with him gently for a long time, stayed for three days after taking care of him carefully, and then sent him a reply letter.

The letter was not sealed, obviously Emperor Jia was not going to hide anything from him.

Just what's in here...

Xi glanced at it, and sighed inwardly, "Qianxiong who lays eggs everywhere" is worthy of the name.
