"You are the representative guests from the Tiger and Fox tribes, right? We are here to greet you on the orders of the Queen and to convey Her Majesty's greetings to you."
A man came forward to greet Athena and the others, and surrounded everyone. Of course, this was to prepare for an escort!
"Thank you. Please convey our greetings to the Queen." At this time, a slightly older fox came out and responded.
It's not that Athena doesn't want to push it back to others, but that she is not qualified. In this team, Ye Lang and Athena are both temporary guests, and even if they are not, Athena has to stand aside in front of her seniors.
"Thank you, I will pass it on! We have already arranged accommodation for your distinguished guests, please follow us!" Those people responded and prepared to take Athena and others to the accommodation they had prepared.
"I'm sorry, we already have a place to live. It's where we orcs gather. We'll get used to it there." The fox elder refused.
"..., that place is... This is not good. If you live there, others will think that we Xiangkong have no hospitality." Those people thought about it and said immediately.
The place that the fox elders mentioned is a district in Xiangkong Imperial City, called the Beast District, where all the inhabitants are orcs. It is the first choice for orcs to come here, but the grade is relatively low.
"You're welcome. We used to live there too and we're used to it. We orcs don't like living in those luxurious palaces. We're more accustomed to it!" The fox elder still refused.
This is not only because they like it there, but also because it will not be monitored by Xiangkong, and Ye Lang can appear there at will without anyone doubting his identity.
Among the Hundred Beasts, there are more than a dozen people from the Fox Tribe!
"If you insist, then we won't force you. If you need anything here, you can come to us at any time. We will find a way to solve it for you!" those people said respectfully.
They also seemed to have considered this result. Generally, orcs would not accept benefits from humans. They liked to use their own abilities to solve problems.
At this time, Xiangkong's side only regarded this team as an ordinary diplomatic team, so they relaxed a lot. If they knew that Ye Lang might be mixed in with them, they would definitely not let it go so easily.
"Someone, take these distinguished guests to the Beast Area!"
Although the leaders did not send them off and went back to report, the soldiers still needed to escort them. This was out of courtesy and also to win the other party's favor.
Athena and others did not refuse this. There was no reason to refuse, and it was no problem to let them deliver it.
Just like that, Ye Lang, the most wanted criminal in the empire, was escorted by the imperial army into the Xiangkong Imperial City, which he had not seen for a long time, and into the Beast District where the orcs lived.
"Hey, I wonder how the Thirteenth Young Master is doing now?"
“?!”
When approaching the beast area, a soldier suddenly said this, which surprised everyone around, especially Ye Lang and Athena.
"Shh! Do you want to live? If the Queen knew that you mentioned the Thirteenth Young Master, she would definitely punish you by military law!" another soldier said immediately, while the other soldiers pretended not to hear.
"I don't know what the Queen was thinking. Why did she force the Ye family into two sides? Most importantly, the Thirteenth Young Master left our empire..." The soldier from before continued to speak in a rather ignorant manner.
"What's the rule? The late emperor had such a good relationship with Lord Ye Chengtian, and the Thirteenth Prince and the Seventh Princess are engaged. If she wants to be the emperor, she must get rid of them. Now she's just expelling them, which is already very good!"
It seems that what the people of Xiangkong know is somewhat inconsistent with the facts. Although they all know that it was the empress who killed the late emperor and those princes and princesses, it seems that the Ye family only said that they were expelled, rather than that the pursuit was unsuccessful.
Come to think of it, no one would agree that an army of over one hundred thousand could hunt down and kill people, but not a single one of them succeeded!
"Ah, I still miss the Thirteenth Young Master very much, but he is now outside the empire. As long as the Empress is around, he will be our target."
"Stop talking! If you continue, things will get serious!" another soldier warned.
“…” The soldiers fell silent.
Athena was a little surprised. She didn't expect Ye Lang to have such a high reputation here. Even after he had been gone for so long, there were still people thinking about him.
Ye Lang was just wondering why these people suddenly talked about him without any warning beforehand!
Ye Lang soon realized this, and Athena looked at Ye Lang with an even more bewildered look...
After entering the Beast Area, the soldiers said goodbye and left. However, before leaving, they seemed to stare at the Beast Area in a daze for a while before leaving.
"Hey, this place looks like a tribe..."
After seeing the situation in the Beast Area, Athena immediately exclaimed in surprise because she discovered that the buildings in this Beast Area were all in tribal style.
Not only the architectural style, but also the structure inside is the same, it is completely a small tribe!
Athena now understood why the fox tribe came here before, because there was a feeling of home here, making them feel very comfortable.
"My Lords, we have prepared your accommodations. Please follow me!"
At this time, a familiar sentence appeared, and this time the person who spoke was a fox, who was here to pick them up.
"Is it still the same place?" Someone in Ye Lang's team asked. It was obvious that this person was not the first time to come here.
"Yes!" The fox who responded nodded.
"Well, Jingwen, how did you come up with the idea of building such a place here?" Athena was very curious about this question. According to the scale of the Beast District, it seemed that it should not appear in a human city.
If this beast zone is just a small area, it would not be a problem, but the problem is that this beast zone is actually not small, and the mask covering it is very large.
Such a large area would not appear on the land of the human race without any benefits, especially the imperial city of the Xiangkong Empire.
"We haven't thought about it before, and it's because someone helped us that we have the Beast Zone today!" The fox who responded answered with a look of respect in his eyes, as if he respected the person he was talking about very much.
"Someone? Who?" Athena asked.
The fox clan was silent for a moment, then said mysteriously, "He is a taboo in this empire now, but for us, it's naturally no problem. He is the thirteenth son of the Ye family - Ye Lang!"! ~!
