Just when Princess Kong Lingyun was mesmerized by the beautiful clothing album, the eldest princess Kong Shu had already stopped behind the screen.
He turned around and looked at Tana intently.
But Tana was not ready to meet the lord. Her body was a little stiff, her expression was helpless, and she subconsciously looked back.
Then he met Kong Shu's face.
Most of the woman's face was covered with a veil. I don't know what material it was made of. It looked light and fluttering, but it had excellent covering power and blocked everything completely. Only a pair of beautiful eyes with upturned corners could be seen.
The eldest princess lives up to her name, Shu. Just looking at her eyes, you can tell that she is extremely beautiful.
But what is even more impressive is the emotion in those eyes.
Calm, profound, and majestic.
Unlike Tana's fierceness, Kong Shu looked particularly calm. When she stood there, she looked like a proud blooming flower. However, she was not as gorgeous as other flowers. She looked more like she was growing on the top of a mountain, blooming in the snow. If you looked at her for a second longer, you would be bitten by the cold wind.
Tana didn't dare to look any longer. She quickly lowered her head and bowed respectfully: "Tana, I pay my respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess. Your Highness is in great health and harmony."
Kong Shu looked her up and down and said calmly, "You don't look like someone from the grassland with your clothes."
Tana glanced down at her work clothes, a look of obedience on her face. "After my people and I arrived in Dechang County, we couldn't continue herding, so we found other jobs. I help out at the textile factory, and this uniform is the uniform they wear."
The eldest princess took two steps forward.
Tana could see the edge of the other person's cloak and smell a faint cold fragrance, but she still didn't look up.
Then Kong Shu's clear voice was heard again: "Be self-reliant, you are doing well."
Tana's mouth curled up.
But before her smile could fully develop, Kong Shu continued, "But I don't like people who are not honest."
Tana was slightly stunned: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you said."
As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Shu reached out her hand and pressed the corner of her mouth with her slightly cool fingertips.
This made Tana instinctively tense her body.
Although she knew clearly in her head that the person in front of her was the eldest princess of Zhou Kingdom, the nominal lord of the grassland and her greatest support in returning to the grassland in the future, but as the tribe leader, she was usually the one who beat and scolded people, and no one had ever dared to pinch her face!
So, the body's instincts overcame reason.
Tana raised her eyes and glared at him, unable to hide her wildness at all.
Fortunately, she quickly realized that something was wrong and tried to restrain herself.
Unexpectedly, Kong Shu laughed.
Even though her face was covered by a veil, her narrow eyes were slightly curved, and her voice was filled with laughter: "That's right."
Tana blinked and instantly understood that what the eldest princess meant by being dishonest was that she didn't like pretending.
If it were someone else, they would probably be even more panicked.
But the girl who grew up on the grassland was straightforward and honest. Since the princess said she liked it this way, she just let herself go. She straightened her back and raised her voice: "I don't like to pretend either. I'm afraid of scaring others."
Kong Shu glanced at her and said, "But if you were really a docile and innocent person, I wouldn't have made this trip."
Tana's eyes lit up: "Your Highness, did you come here just for me this time?"
Kong Shu nodded and said calmly, "Yes." She paused, "To be exact, I came here because I heard about what you did on the grassland."
With just one sentence, Tana was silent.
But Kong Shu didn't stop talking: "You took some of your people to Dechang County, but some of the lost ones ended up in my territory. They told me that after your tribe was attacked, you didn't flee immediately, but went to the Barbarian Kingdom. Then, General Wu of the Barbarian Kingdom was beheaded."
Tana tugged at the ends of her hair nervously, but quickly let go. She took a deep breath before speaking, "Yes, I did it." She gritted her teeth, shedding the last layer of obedience, her breath tinged with the scent of blood. "They killed my people. If I don't take revenge, I won't be at peace until I die."
Kong Shu asked, "Can you tell me how to take revenge?"
Tana said confidently: "Seduction, I will cut him into pieces after getting him drunk."
Kong Shu was stunned for a moment, but soon she smiled and her tone softened: "It's a bit unexpected, but the method doesn't matter, as long as it works."
Seeing that the other party didn't resist or show any disgust, Tana finally breathed a sigh of relief, and her smile became even more joyful: "I can't do anything more because I still have to take care of my people. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't leave so easily."
As she spoke, she thought to herself that what Master Yan said before was right.
When a barbarian says she has something, she'd better really have it.
If there really is kerosene, huh.
Kong Shu noticed every change in her expression, concealing her admiration as she softly said, "Actually, you did quite well. General Wu's sudden death has left the Barbarian faction he was loyal to at a disadvantage, like losing an arm. Originally, there were three factions within the Barbarian nation, maintaining a delicate balance. Now that balance has been broken, they're locked in a fierce struggle."
Tana blinked and said honestly, "I don't understand."
Kong Shu smiled, knowing that Zhou Yu was still a little unskilled, so she told her in the simplest terms: "They are fighting among themselves."
This time Tana understood and a big smile appeared on her face: "You deserve it."
Kong Shu suddenly said, "You will follow me from now on."
Tana had already prepared herself mentally when she knew the princess had come specifically for her. She didn't hesitate, "Yes, Your Highness. My people and I are willing to offer our utmost loyalty to you." Then, eager to try, she asked, "When can we attack them?"
As Kong Shu walked out, she said, "No rush, let's get everything ready first. Besides, I heard that your people are learning."
"Yes, they have classes."
"And you?"
“…I’m also learning.”
At this time, they had already walked out of the screen, and this sentence also reached Yan Tao's ears.
So, Yan raised his eyebrows and said with a half-smile: "Tana wants to learn so much, that's great. Remember to report to the school tomorrow."
Tana: ...I'm not, I didn't!
Yan Tao: "Be sure to remember to come. If you skip class again, you will have to ask your parents to come."
The matriarch didn't understand what it meant to ask the head of the family for help, but her instinct told her that she'd better behave herself.
The thought of facing monsters named "Chinese" and "Mathematics" made the face of this female leader who could single-handedly chop off the leader of the thieves without batting an eyelid look filled with tears.
Kong Shu didn't notice anything unusual about this person. Instead, she nodded to Yan Tao, greeted the legendary fairy in a friendly manner, and expressed her gratitude for the fairy's hard work in educating the grassland people: "I will give their tuition to Langyun on time to thank the fairy for her hard work."
These words made Tana feel even more powerless.
You have to pay to fight monsters.
Does this count as paying to beat yourself up?
Kong Shu did not waste any time and quickly said goodbye to the immortal and prepared to leave.
Kong Lingyun also followed.
When they got back into the carriage, Her Royal Highness the Princess noticed that the little princess was holding an extra booklet and a card in her hand.
Kong Shu had just resolved her doubts and had a better idea of what was happening in the Barbarian Kingdom. She felt relieved and was in the mood to chat. She asked, "What is this?"
Kong Lingyun took the initiative to hand over the booklet and card: "This is the clothing pattern given by that store."
After Kong Shu took it, she picked up the card, flicked it briefly, and said in surprise, "It's actually pure gold?"
The little princess saw this and hurried over: "Aunt, be careful, this card is very expensive."
Kong Shu took another closer look and said, "Even if it's made of gold, it's just a thin piece. How can it be considered valuable?"
Kong Lingyun recalled the long string of "card draw promotion card application" and carefully took back the gold card. Her voice was light and light: "This thing, but spent all the cash I have."
Kong Shu:?
Kong Lingyun: "Alas, becoming beautiful really costs a lot of money."
Kong Shu: ???
Tan Min soon learned that the eldest princess had entered the city.
As an official of the second rank, he was naturally well aware of the eldest princess's heroic deeds and admired her very much, but Lord Tan did not remember to pay her a visit.
At this time, he was reading a newspaper at the county magistrate's house.
While looking at it, he said to Tan Ao beside him: "Brother, look, I am on it."
As he spoke, he pointed to the report titled "Shocking! The long-standing mystery gradually dissipates, and the Prime Minister finally sees the light. Is it a mysterious magic or a leap in medical technology?"
Imperial Physician Tan had known about this for a long time, and without even looking up, he said, "Third Uncle, this newspaper belongs to Qi. It won't do your reputation any good to be listed in it."
Mr. Tan smiled and pushed up his sunglasses. "It's different. You have to understand that many things have national boundaries. Even though Qi and Zhou are so close, they still need to distinguish between them. However, knowledge and writing have no national boundaries, so they can be spread more easily."
After hearing this, Tan Ao finally looked up and said after a moment of contemplation, "You mean, if we want to compete for public opinion, we have to establish a newspaper in Zhou Kingdom as well?"
Tan Min curled his lips, his face delicate and his voice particularly pleasant: "These have been implemented for a long time, and with the help of Immortal Langyun, I think it will soon become a system of its own. There is no need for me to urge anything, someone will naturally go back and take care of it."
"Then what was the reason for your emotion just now?"
"What I mean is that even though this newspaper belongs to Qi, it can still be circulated and spread within Zhou, and the good things in it will also become known to people."
Tan Ao took it and looked over it again and again: "What good things are there on it?"
Tan Min immediately stretched out his fingertips and pressed hard: "Here, here."
Tan Ao looked closely and saw that the man was pointing at a sketch.
In the fairyland, someone drew a sketch of Tan Min.
So Imperial Physician Tan asked, "What's wrong with this picture?"
Tan Min said proudly, "Everyone has seen how elegant I am, raising the public's aesthetic standards. Isn't that the best thing?"
Tan Ao: ...
I'm sorry, although he is one year older, he is still my great-nephew and is really too young.
Perhaps to change the subject, Imperial Physician Tan turned his head and looked at Xia Ying, who was reading a newspaper and looking at his phone, and said, "Immortal Lord, aren't you going to the new clinic today?"
Xia Ying smiled gently and said, "It's under construction. I'll go tomorrow."
What you see here is much more interesting than watching people build houses.
As expected, the natives are not only task launchers, but also a source of happiness.
Tan Ao then said, "In that case, how about I go with the Immortal Lord tomorrow?"
This time, it was Tan Min who spoke, his expression serious. "No, you have other things to do. The princess must have come here for the barbarians. I think after she has recovered tomorrow, we can interrogate the barbarians imprisoned here and see if we can pry their mouths open and learn some secrets."
Xia Ying was slightly stunned and asked softly, "Are there barbarians here?"
The voice of this sentence was so low that the two people from the Tan family could not hear it clearly, but Kun Jingming on the other side of the phone heard it clearly.
Originally, Kun Jingming wanted to inquire about the promotion of the newspaper, but he accidentally overheard the affairs between the Zhou Kingdom and the barbarians.
The people of Langyun will not get too involved in this matter.
However, in response to Xia Ying's question, Kun, who had an excellent memory, responded: "Have you forgotten? When we first arrived in Dechang County, we encountered a group of barbarian bandits. We captured three of them and imprisoned them in the dungeon."
Xia Ying was even more confused after hearing the voice in the headset: "It's been over a year, and they're still here???"
Tan Min, unaware of Lang Yun's conversation, simply remarked, "What a coincidence! If Dechang County hadn't defeated the barbarians' scheme, General Wu wouldn't have been defeated and returned home, attracting attacks. This wouldn't have led to the current civil unrest within the barbarian nation. We have to thank the Heavenly Fire for that incident."
He originally said this just to express his feelings. Lord Tan, who was in the capital, had only heard about what happened at that time and did not witness it with his own eyes, so naturally he did not know who was involved.
However, Xia Ying, who was really involved in this matter, knew that the fairy fire that fell from the sky was caused by hitting someone with a wine bottle.
They also taught us how to purify wine.
So Xia Ying muttered softly, "If there were a voiceover now, would it say something about butterfly wings and the shifting world lines?"
Kun Jingming said, "That's not the case."
"That's right..."
"What we have done is no longer the wings of a butterfly. Even the cold wind from Siberia is not as strong as this."
“…”
As expected of a liberal arts student, you are good at speaking.
Kun Jingming in the mobile phone screen has already stood up.
Xia Ying then asked, "What's the matter?"
Kun Jingming said calmly, "Yes, I have to go find the Seventh Young Master Fu Yun and ask him to urge the construction of a railway between the two countries."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"The Princess of Zhou will definitely go to the Barbarian Kingdom to cause trouble. Railways are very necessary. If they win, the grasslands will definitely have a lot of output in the future. Building transportation early will also facilitate trade."
Xia Ying could tell that the other party was considering this good transportation and good trade from the perspective of Qi.
This is understandable.
Although they remain neutral, that means they do not interfere in internal affairs.
As for the execution of the mission, that is, the infrastructure link, when choosing the mission location, you have actually chosen your own development goals, so naturally you have to give priority to your own mission.
Otherwise, Yan Tao would not have behaved like that before, jumping back and forth in order to better perform the task.
Fortunately, building a railway is also beneficial to the Zhou State, so Xia Ying, who is in the Zhou State, also fully supports it.
But he was still a little curious: "What if I lose?"
Kun Jingming said without hesitation: "Then sell them the grain. It won't be a loss anyway."
Xia Ying was silent for a moment, and finally could only sigh—
It is a loss to the business community that this person is not doing business.
Kun Jingming had already hung up the phone, put away his phone, and walked straight out of the palace.
At this time, Gongzi Yun was invigilating the exam.
In fact, this was not originally his task, but Fu Yun especially liked to urge his younger brothers and sisters to work hard, so no matter how busy he was, he would come over to help supervise the exam.
When Kun Jingming entered the room, the exam had just ended, and the young masters and princesses had different expressions.
One of the young masters obviously did not do well in the exam. He was sitting in his seat with a droopy face, looking unhappy.
When he saw Kun Jingming, he was even more frightened and stood up hurriedly.
If these little guys dared to be disrespectful to the Langyun Immortals before, now, after the training of morality, intelligence, physical arts, and labor, the training of radio gymnastics and military boxing, and especially the iron fist of knowledge, the combination of these factors is enough to suppress their little rebellion.
Even princes would be afraid when facing Kun Jingming, the most difficult to please among the immortals.
Kun Jingming glanced at his test paper: "How did you do?"
The young master said softly: "It's, it's okay..."
Kun Jingming glanced at the paper again and asked, "If you are poor, you should take care of yourself. What did you write next?"
Young Master: "Rich, rich means having many wives and concubines."
Fu Yun, who was watching, said: ...
She is quite idealistic. The little girl is not even of marriageable age yet, but she is already thinking about having girls everywhere.
Is it too late to go over and shut this guy up now?
Kun Jingming said slowly, "It's quite antithetical."
The young master heard the teasing and blushed: "I'm sorry, Immortal Lord."
Kun Jingming was not like a teacher who would preach to them, nor was he like a study partner who would comfort and soothe them.
His words were very blunt: "You'd better study hard and study as soon as possible. Remember, you are not studying for me, but for the State of Qi."
To this question, the young master would answer: "I know, I study for the rise of Qi!"
But Kun Jingming said in a deep voice: "Yes, and no, my purpose is to make you seize the time."
The young master looked confused: "Why?"
Kun Jingming said, "Right now, the entire Qi State is working hard to develop. If you don't work hard, Qi State will have risen before you grow up. What use will you be then?"
Young Master: ...Ah?
Kun Jingming said calmly, "The country is developing so fast, time waits for no one. You'd better work harder and don't let the country wait for you. Time is running out for you."
…
The young master obviously didn't expect such an answer and was a little confused for a moment.
And Gongzi Yun has already walked forward.
Seeing that the little guy's face drooped even more, Fu Jun laughed, but he still remembered what the boy had just said about having many wives and concubines.
Although he is young, he has a lot of ideas.
You can tell at first glance that he has never been beaten.
So Fu Jun reached out and picked him up, rocked him, and coaxed him, "Be good, don't cry."
The young master sniffed.
Fu Jun continued gently, "Your face is so dark right now, you won't look pitiful even if you cry, so it's useless to cry. It's better not to waste your tears."
Young Master:……???
