Chapter 603 The Children Are Coming
End of February.
The Human royal city and palace.
The snow in the back garden melted, and the palace maids took brooms and rags to sweep the water on the road, and wiped the decorative boulders and lantern stands on the roadside one by one.
While cleaning, everyone occasionally turned their heads to look at the man in the moon robe who was sitting in the sun by the viewing pavilion, and whispered to each other.
"Mr. Bai is out in the sun again. He always sits on that observation deck, looking quite leisurely and relaxed."
"The only place he can move around is this back garden, but he does it for his own amusement."
"I didn't expect the king to agree to let him out... Aren't you afraid he'll run away?"
"The Royal City is our territory. Where can he run to? Even if you give him a pair of wings, he can't fly away. Humph... Let's not talk about him anymore. I accompanied the princess out of the palace yesterday and heard some new gossip from those people. They shaved the eyebrows of the Lord of Gumi City! Hahaha! How brave!"
"Oh my God! This is really plucking the city lord's hair! Didn't Gumi City catch them?"
"Why are we catching them? Every time we try to catch them, they disappear into thin air and we can't find any trace of them. Just wait and see. The next news about them will definitely come from another city."
On the observation deck, a man in a moon robe was leaning against the railing with his eyes closed, dozing off. In the late February afternoon, the sunlight was light and warm, making people feel lazy all over.
Occasionally a breeze blows, bringing with it the unique clean scent of sunshine, making people feel happy.
The man got tired of leaning in one position, so he changed to another and continued to sunbathe, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Tian Bao and Bai Xiaozi are here, but the unreliable old man is still causing trouble wherever he goes. The graffiti on the wanted list must be the work of Xiao Mai Sui. That girl is so desperate to get on the list, and Su Wu, the fool, can only indulge her.
Gumi City... Unfortunately, he had no knowledge of foreign geography and didn't know where that place was.
"Mr. Bai, the king invites you!" While he was thinking, a call came over. Bai Xiaofeng lazily opened his eyes and looked towards the source of the voice.
It was the eunuch beside the Human King. He was standing at the bottom of the observation deck and shouting, but he was too lazy to even come up.
This person's words seemed flawless, but his attitude was extremely arrogant. He always looked at people out of the corner of his eyes, with the words "I look down on you" clearly written on his face.
Of course, those four words were only visible to Bai Xiaofeng.
So, Bai Xiaofeng lazily closed his eyes and replied with the four words "I can't see you".
Seeing that he pretended not to hear, the visitor's eyes flashed with anger, but due to the king's order, he dared not be too presumptuous. He could only patiently walk up to the stage and repeat, "Mr. Bai, the king invites you!"
"Should I go just because he invites me?" Bai Xiaofeng sneered.
"Mr. Bai, don't forget the agreement you made with the king. You considered giving him the map of the magic weapon, which allowed you to walk freely in this back garden! Since the king wants to see you, you should go see him, otherwise the preferential treatment will be revoked and you will suffer the consequences!"
"Oh, your king also said that no matter what I consider, I will not neglect my food, clothing, and other necessities. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask the servants in the palace. I will go to see your king now, but I suddenly feel craving for some wine from Gumi City. You go and bring it to me now."
"Wine from Gumi City?! Mr. Bai is really too kind to me. Not only can I not give you the wine now, I can't even get it to you even if I give you three more days! Gumi City is thousands of miles away from the royal city. It would take at least ten days to go back and forth!"
"Tsk, I have to wait for so many days to drink a pot of wine. Even if you bring the wine, my craving will be gone. Well, present me with a pot of the best new wine in the palace, so that no one will say behind my back that I am bullying others by taking advantage of my power." Bai Xiaofeng opened his eyes and stood up. He straightened his robe leisurely and walked out of the observation deck leisurely.
The eunuch glared at his back, his face turning pale and blue, and it took him a while to suppress his anger at being teased.
He's just a hostage, but he's showing off in their barbarian palace!
Wait until General Wang gets the map of the magic weapon, and then see how you die!
Bai Xiaofeng strode leisurely in the sunshine, his snake eyes slightly narrowed and the corners of his mouth raised to show that he was in a happy mood.
A ten-day journey.
The news from Gumi City came two or three days ago. If my guess is correct, the children will appear in the royal city in four or five days at most.
He can also start planning.
The hall where the Human King receives guests is located in the front yard of the palace. It is decorated with animal bones and gems. It is gorgeous and intimidating, with a strong Human style.
Bai Xiaofeng walked straight into the hall, with King Human's mouthpiece behind him, and no one dared to stop him.
"Mr. Bai, excuse me for disturbing you from enjoying the scenery and basking in the sun?" The Hu Man King, who was sitting behind the coffee table, saw him approach and stood up to greet him with a smile. "I've just collected some of the finest Middle-earth tea, and I'd like to invite you to taste it, sir. That's why I sent someone to invite you here!"
Bai Xiaofeng raised his lips, ignoring the Concubine Wang who had also stood up to greet him from the other side of the tea table. "Your Majesty, you are too kind. I enjoy fine tea, and it will suit my taste."
"Hahaha! Mr. Bai has a straightforward personality! Come, please take a seat! I've even specially invited the Queen Mother over. She said there are many misunderstandings and emotional ties between you and your son. I've taken the initiative to help you two let go of the past. I hope Mr. Bai won't mind?"
"Your Majesty, this is wrong. There is no misunderstanding between the Queen Dowager and me. I simply don't want to see this person. It will make me lose my appetite. If Your Majesty wants to discuss the matter of the Divine Weapon Map with Bai Mou, please tell her to leave first. She has nothing to do here."
The Queen Mother's forced smile froze.
King Human glanced back and forth between the two of them, then laughed out loud again, "It's my fault. I meant well but ended up doing something bad. In that case, come! Send the Queen Dowager back to her chambers!"
The eunuch came over quickly and respectfully asked the Queen Mother to leave.
Bai Xiaofeng sat by the tea table, not even glancing at the old woman the entire time. After she left, he raised his eyes and went straight to the point, "Your Majesty has been inviting me here every few days lately, either for drinks or tea. Every time, he treats me with the finest Middle-earth cuisine. Such dedication puts me to shame. Regarding the Divine Weapon Diagram—"
The Hu Man King's eyelids shrank, and a light flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Bai, please speak frankly. No matter what you think, I have said that I will not make things difficult for you. This word counts!"
"I agree to the Divine Weapon Map. However, Your Majesty, you must make a pact with me: if the barbarians ever obtain the Divine Weapon, they must not declare war on the Middle-earth!"
"Okay! I promise you! In addition to this request, I will also make a promise: Mr. Bai will be my guest of honor for the rest of his life!"
Bai Xiaofeng's indifferent expression softened slightly, as if he was very satisfied with the Hu Man King's promise. "Your Majesty is the ruler of a country, and your words are golden. I believe you will not go back on your word. However, if you want to obtain the Divine Weapon Map, you must trouble Your Majesty to send someone to fetch it. All the fragments of the Divine Weapon Map are hidden in the incense burner in my Wangque Tower. The Hu Man spies lured me away that day and brought me here without stating their purpose. If they had told me earlier, I might have taken the fragments with me, and Your Majesty would have saved the extra trip."
After a pause, he continued, "Your Majesty needs to hurry, lest the servants in the building burn the fragments and lose them while cleaning the incense burner—"
King Human stiffened his fists, "Come here! Listen to my orders!"
